Reductive Acylamination of Pyridine <Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-Oxide with Aminopyridines and Their <Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-<Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis>-Tolylsulfonyl Derivatives

Pyridine N-oxide reacts with 2- and 3-aminopyridines and their N-p-tolylsulfonyl derivatives in alkaline medium in the presence of p-toluenesulfonyl chloride to give N-p-tolylsulfonyl-2,2′- and 2,3′-dipyridylamines, respectively, as a result of reductive acylamination. In the reactions with 4-aminopyridine and 4-p-tolylsulfonyl-aminopyridine, their N-p-tolylsulfonyl- and N,N-bis(p-tolylsulfonyl) derivatives are formed, while reductive acylamination does not occur.__________Translated from Zhurnal Organicheskoi Khimii, Vol. 41, No. 1, 2005, pp. 128–130.Original Russian Text Copyright © 2005 by Solekhova, Kurbatov.

N-Sulfinyltrifluoromethanesulfonamide CF₃SO₂N=S=O reacts with salicylaldehyde, 2-furaldehyde, 2-thiophenecarbaldehyde, 3-methyl-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazole-4-carbaldehyde, and 2-phenyl-2H-1,2,3-triazole-4-carbaldehyde to afford the corresponding N-aryl(hetaryl)methylidenetrifluoromethanesulfonamides in high yields. Reactions of the latter with aniline give no adducts at the C=N bond but transamination products. The reaction of trifluoromethanesulfonamide with phenyl isocyanate led to formation of N,N′-diphenylurea instead of expected N-phenyl-N′-(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)urea.__________Translated from Zhurnal Organicheskoi Khimii, Vol. 41, No. 7, 2005, pp. 1006–1010.Original Russian Text Copyright © 2005 by Shainyan, Tolstikova.

N-Mesyl-2-(1-methyl-1-butenyl)-6-methylaniline reacted with Br₂ to afford N-mesyl-2-(3-bromo-1-penten-2-yl)aniline that under treatment with NH₃ or amines underwent cyclization into N-mesyl-7-methyl-3-methylene-2-ethylindoline. The reaction of N-mesyl-2-(1-methyl-1-buten-1-yl)-4-methyl- and 2-(1-methyl-1-buten-1-yl)aniline with Br₂ gave rise to the corresponding N-mesyl-2-(2-bromo-1-methyl-1-buten-1-yl)anilines. Under the similar conditions N-tosyl-2-(1-cyclohexen-1-yl)aniline was converted into N-tosyl-2-(6-bromo-1-cyclohexen-1-yl)aniline that under treatment with NH₃ furnished N-tosyl-1,2,3,9a-tetrahydrocarbazole. The reaction of N-mesyl-1,2,3,9a-tetrahydrocarbazole with CuBr₂ in MeOH afforded N-mesyl-4-methoxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydrocarbazole. N-Mesyl-6-methyl-2-(1-cyclopenten-1-yl)aniline in reaction with Br₂ in the presence of NaHCO₃ was oxidized into the corresponding cyclopentenone, and with NBS it gave N-mesyl-2-(2-bromo-1-cyclopenten-1-yl)aniline.__________Translated from Zhurnal Organicheskoi Khimii, Vol. 41, No. 5, 2005, pp. 730–737.Original Russian Text Copyright © 2005 by Gataullin, Sotnikov, Spirikhin, Abdrakhmanov.

In the study of reactions of N-alkyl- and N-aryltrihalogenoacetamides with PCl₅, it was demonstrated for the first time that 3-alkyl(aryl)-2,2,2,4 tetrachloro-4-trihalomethyl-1,3,2-λ⁵-oxazaphosphetanes are intermediates in the synthesis of trihaloacetimidoyl chlorides. According to quantum-chemical calculations, acyclic N-tetrachlorophosphoranes, which are the primary products in the reactions of trihaloacetamides with PCl⁵, undergo rapid cyclization into the corresponding phosphorates and subsequent 1,3-chlorotropic migration gives rise to oxazaphosphetanes with the five-coordinate P atom.__________Published in Russian in Izvestiya Akademii Nauk.

3,3,3-Trifluoro-N′-(3-trifluoromethylphenyl)-1,2-propanediamine (5) was synthesized by the reaction of 2-diazo-1,1,1-trifluoro-3-nitropropane or 3,3,3-trifluoro-1-nitropropene with 3-aminobenzotrifluoride followed by the reduction of the nitro group. The Michael 1,4-addition of diamine 5 to acrylic acid occurs only at the N(1) atom and affords N-mono-or N,N-dicarboxyethyl derivatives 6 and 7, depending on the reactant ratio. Protolytic equilibria 5–7 in aqueous solutions were studied by pH-potentiometry and UV spectroscopy. Only the aliphatic amino group can be protonated in an aqueous solution, while the aromatic amino group remains unprotonated even in 12 M HCl. The stability constants of transition metal (Cu²⁺, Ni²⁺, Zn²⁺) complexes with ligands 5–7 were determined by pH-potentiometric titration. The stability of the complexes and selectivity of the ligands toward Cu²⁺ ions increase with an increase in the number of N-carboxyethyl groups. Published in Russian in Izvestiya Akademii Nauk.

UV/Vis Spectroscopic Properties of <Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-(2′-Hydroxy-4′-<Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>,<Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-dimethyl-aminobenzylidene)-4-nitroaniline in Various Solvents and Solid Environments

Summary.  N-(2′-Hydroxy-4′-N,N-dimethylaminobenzylidene)-4-nitroaniline [HDBN] has been used as a model for investigating intra- and intermolecular D–A (donor–acceptor) interactions in various environments by means of UV/Vis spectroscopy. UV/Vis spectra of HDBN have been measured in various solvents, ethanolic solutions of different pH, adsorbed on silica, and in the solid state. A bathochromic shift of ν_max is observed with increasing the dipolarity/polarizability and HBD (hydrogen bond donor) capacity of the solvent, which is described by means of a multiple LSE (linear solvation energy) relationship in terms of the empirical Kamlet-Taft solvent polarity parameters. The adsorption of HDBN on Aerosil^? 300-silica particles in non-HBA (hydrogen bond acceptor) solvents is explained in the same sense. Mobile protons and sol–gel entrapping cause a hypsochromic shift due to protonation of the lone electron pair of the 4′-N,N-dimethylamino group. Hydroxide ions attack the 2′-hydroxy group which causes a bathochromic shift. A strong intramolecular hydrogen bond between the 2′-hydroxyl hydrogen and the imine nitrogen atom is present in the solid-state structure causing an unprecedented bathochromic shift.

Synthesis of <Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis><Superscript>2</Superscript>-Arylisocytidines and <Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis><Superscript>2</Superscript>-Aryl-2′-deoxyisocytidines

Summary. 2-(Arylamino)pyrimidin-4-ones were synthesized, silylated, and condensed with l,2,3,5-tetra-O-acetyl-β- d-ribofuranoside to afford the corresponding N ²-aryl protected isocytidines. Deprotection of the acetylated isocytidines using saturated NH₃ in MeOH solution gave 1-(β-d-ribofuranosyl)-2-(arylamino)-4-pyrimidinones. Methyl 2-deoxy-3,5-di-O-toluyl-α/β-d-ribofuranoside was prepared and condensed with the previously silylated bases to afford the anomeric mixture of protected nucleosides. The pure β-anomers were synthesized with better yield by treating the sodium salts of N ²-arylisocytosine derivatives with 2-deoxy-3,5-di-O-toluyl-α-d-ribofuranosyl chloride. Deprotection of the latter anomers afforded the corresponding free hydroxyl derivatives. The synthesized free nucleosides are under antiviral and oligonucleotide investigations.

Sulfuric acid-promoted rearrangement of 3-(<Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-acylamino)-substituted caran-4-one oximes

The rearrangement of 3-(N-acylamino)-substituted caran-4-one oximes in the presence of sulfuric acid affords 2-oxa-4-azabicyclo[3.3.1]non-3-en-6-one derivatives. 3-Aminocaran-4-one oximes, in which the amino group contains such substituents as acetyl, propionyl, chloroacetyl, 1-adamantylcarbonyl, benzoyl, 2-thienylcarbonyl, or anilinocarbonyl, undergo this reaction. N-Acyl derivatives of higher fatty (heptanoic and nonadecanoic) acids do not undergo this reaction. The reaction with D₂SO₄ leads to the replacement of all hydrogen atoms of the isopropyl group by deuterium. The mechanism of this rearrangement is proposed. __________ Published in Russian in Izvestiya Akademii Nauk. Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 8, pp. 1837–1844, August, 2005.
