Chemistry of iminofurans: X. Synthesis and hydrolysis of 5-aryl(hetaryl)-2-[(4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-1-benzothiophen-2-yl)imino]furan-3(2<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>)-ones

5-Aryl(hetaryl)furan-2,3-diones reacted with N-(triphenyl-λ⁵-phosphanylidene)-4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-1-benzothiophen-2-amines to give 5-aryl(hetaryl)-2-[(4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-1-benzothiophen-2-yl)imino]furan-3(2H)-ones whose acid hydrolysis afforded 4-aryl(hetaryl)-2-hydroxy-4-oxo-N-(4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-1-benzothiophen- 2-yl)but-2-enamides.     

Pechmann reaction of 4-hydroxycoumarins and thiocoumarins with cyclohexanone and ethyl cyclopentanone-2-carboxylates

The Pechmann reaction of 4-hydroxycoumarins with cyclohexanone and ethyl cyclopentanone-2-carboxylates affords 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro[2]benzopyrano[4,3-c][1]benzopyran-5,12-diones and cyclopenta[3′,4′]pyrano-[3,2-c][1]benzopyran-4,11-diones. Dehydrogenation of the former yields [2]benzopyrano[4,3-c][1]benzopyran-5,12-diones. Alkaline hydrolysis of a typical compound Va affords 2-hydroxy-2′-carboxydeoxybenzoin which on boiling with acetic anhydride gives an isocoumarin derivative.     

Synthesis and thermal transformations of spiro-fused N-phthalimidoaziridines

Oxidation of N-aminophthalimide in the presence of 2-arylideneinden-1,3-diones with electron-withdrawing substituents gives the corresponding 3-aryl-1-phthalimidospiro[aziridine-2,2′-indene]-1′,3′-diones in good yields. Heating these aziridines with standard dipolarophiles (N-phenylmaleimide, dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate, maleate, and fumarate) leads, in most cases, to spiro[inden-2,2′-pyrrole] derivatives as products of 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of the intermediate azomethine ylides with up to 70–95% yields in the case of N-phenylmaleimide. As is typical for 2-acylaziridines, the competing rearrangement into 2-aryl-4H-indeno[2,1-d][1,3]oxazol-4-ones prevails for less active dipolarophiles. Increasing the electron-releasing properties of the 3-aryl ring allows the observation of the push–pull effect of electron-donating and electron-withdrawing substituents on the ease of the three-membered ring-opening.     

Investigation of reactions of the organozinc reagents prepared from zinc and dialkyl dibromomalonates with the derivatives of 2-arylmethyleneindan-1,3-dione and 5-arylmethylene-2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxane-4,6-dione

Reactions of Substituted 2,3,7-Triazabicyclo[3.3.0]oct-2-enes and 1,2,7-Triazaspiro[4.4]non-1-enes with Halogens

Halogenation of 1-substituted 7-aryl-2,3,7-triazabicyclo[3.3.0]oct-2-ene-6,8-diones gives different products, depending on the substituent in position 1 (R¹): when R¹ = Ar, 6-chloro-3-azabicyclo[3.1.0]hexanes are formed, while compounds with R¹ = H or Me give rise to 2- or 4-chloro-2,3,7-triazabicyclo[3.3.0]oct-2-ene-6,8-diones whose thermolysis leads to formation of the corresponding 6-chloro-3-azabicyclo[3.1.0]hexanes. Chlorination of 7-aryl-1,2,7-triazaspiro[4.4]non-1-ene-6,8-diones yields 3-chloro-1,2,7-triazaspiro[4.4]non-1-ene-6,8-diones, and thermolysis of the latter affords 1-chloro-5-azaspiro[2.4]heptanes.__________Translated from Zhurnal Organicheskoi Khimii, Vol. 41, No. 1, 2005, pp. 78–88.Original Russian Text Copyright © 2005 by Molchanov, Stepakov, Kostikov.

A new synthetic pathway to spiro[cyclohexane-1,3′-indoline]-2′,4-diones was found starting from 3-chloromethylene-2-indolones 1 and Danishefsky's diene 2.
