Über in 6-Stellung basisch substituierte Morphanthridine. 8. Mitteilung über siebengliedrige Heterocyclen

Morphanthridines III with a basic substituent in position 6, which show neuroleptic activity, have been synthesised as follows: Chlorination of the lactams I with POCl₃ gave the iminochlorides II, which were converted by bases to the amidines III. The 11-oxo-morphanthridines VI and VII were synthesised using the same procedure, 2-(1-methylpiperazine-4-carbonyl)-2′-amino-benzophenone (XI) was obtained directly from the 6-chloro-11-oxo-morphanthridine (V) or by extended heating of VI with N-methylpiperazine. Reduction of the 11-oxo-compounds VI and VII with NaBH₄ gave the 11-hydroxy-compounds IX and X. 3-(2-aminophenyl)-phtalide (VIII) resulted from the acid hydrolysis of IX.

Neuroleptics are found in the 11-amino substituted dibenzo[b,f]-1, 4-thiazepine and dibenzo[b,f]-1, 4-oxazepine series III. They may be synthesized by aminolysis of the iminochlorides VI and/or by Bischler-Napieralski ring closure of the urea II with POCl₃.     

Photochemische Cycloadditionen von 3-Phenyl-2H-azirinen mit Triphenyl-vinylphosphoniumbromid. 36. Mitteilung über Photoreaktionen

On irradiation in acetonitrile 3-phenyl-2H-azirines of type 1 react with triphenyl vinyl phosphonium bromide to form in approximative 50% yield 2H-indoles of type 4 (Scheme 1). In analogy to other photochemical reactions with 2H-azirines [2] [3] it is assumed that the photochemically generated dipoles 2 react with the triphenyl vinyl phosphonium salt (Scheme 1). The conversion of 1 to 4 represents a new synthesis for 2H-pyrroles.     

Photoinduzierte Reaktionen von 3-Phenyl-2H-azirinen mit Carbonsäureestern 40. Mitteilung über Photoreaktionen

Irradiation (280–350 nm light) of a benzene solution of 3-phenyl-2H-azirines 1a – e in the presence of carboxylate esters, whose carbonyl groups are activated by electron withdrawing groups situated in the acyl or alkyl moiety, produces 5-alkoxy-3-oxazolines (Tab. 1 and 4, Scheme 2) isolated in 18–82% yield. These heterocycles undoubtedly originate by regiospecific addition of the ester carbonyl group to the azirine-derived benzonitrile-methylide ‘dipole’ (Scheme 1). The 5-(2,′ 2′, 2′-trifluoroethoxy)-3-oxazolines, derived from 2′, 2′, 2′-trifluoroethyl carboxylic esters, on treatment with methanolic hydrogen chloride at low concentration, are smoothly transformed into the corresponding 5-methoxy-3-oxazolines (e.g. 16 → 17 , Tab. 5). Utilizing this process, various hitherto relatively unknown 9. 5-alkoxy-3-oxazolines become accessible. The constitution of the adducts is based essentially on spectral data. The structure of trans-5-methoxy-2,4-diphenyl-5-trifluoromethyl-3-oxazoline (trans- 14 ), the addition product of methyl trifluoroacetate and the benzonitrile-benzylide from 2,3-diphenyl-2H-azirine ( 1d ), was determined by X-ray crystallography (Section 5). Benzonitrile-isopropylide ( 22 ), resulting from the photochemical transformation of 2,2-dimethyl-3-phenyl-2H-azirine ( 1a ), also reacts with S-methyl thiobenzoate to give 2,2-dimethyl-5-methylthio-4,5-diphenyl-3-oxazoline ( 26 ). Ethyl cyanoacetate protonates predominantly the dipolar species derived from 1a at the nitrile C-atom and yields after work-up ethyl α-cyano-cinnamate ( 29 ) and ethyl isopropylidene-cyanoacetate ( 30 ) (Scheme 4). The relative rate of addition (k_rel) of benzonitrile-isopropylide ( 22 ) to methyl α-haloacetates and dimethyl oxalate was determined by competition experiments (Section 6). Log k_rel correlated satisfactorily (r = 0.97) with the pK_a of the acide derived from the ester reactant: log k_rel = ? 1.72 pK_a + 2.58 or with Taft's substituent constants σ*: log k_rel = 2.06 σ* ? 4.11 [k_rel(methyl dichloroacetate) = 1; Section 7.1]. On the basis of the results obtained, the mode of reaction of the so-called benzonitrile-methylide ‘dipole’ is discussed and a model for the transition state of addition of ester-carbonyl groups is proposed that accounts for the observed regiospecifity and steroselectivity.     

Dibenz [b,f]-1, 4-oxazepin-11 (10 H)-one und Dibenz [b,e]-1, 4-oxazepin-11 (5 H)-one. 12. Mitteilung über siebengliedrige Heterocyclen

The syntheses of dibenzo [b, f]-1, 4-oxazepin-11 (10 H)-ones (I) with electron-attracting substituents in position 2 by ring closure of the sodium salts of 2-halogeno-2′-hydroxy-benzanilides (II) are described. The reaction of II (R = SO₂·N(CH₃)₂) in N-methylpyrrolidone also led, by SMILES rearrangement, to the isomeric minor product dibenzo [b, e]-1, 4-oxazepin-11 (5 H)-one (III; R = SO₂·N(CH₃)₂), whose constitution was proven by synthesis from VI. In the case of II (R = SO₂·CH₃), the 5-methylsulfonyl-2-(2-hydroxyanilino)-benzoic acid (VI; R = SO₂·CH₃) was obtained directly after hydrolysis. The lactam I (R = NO₂) was rearranged to the corresponding acid VI by heating with dilute caustic soda.     

Photochemische Cycloadditionen von 3-Phenyl-2H-azirinen mit Ketonen,Acylcyaniden und Ketoestern. 33. Mitteilung über Photoreaktionen

Similarly to aldehydes [6] ketones form 3-oxazolines via cyclo-addition to the benzonitrile-methylides 2 that arise photochemically from the 3-phenyl-2H-azirines 1 . With various ketones benzonitrile-isopropylide ( 2a ) gives cyclo-addition products in very good preparative yields (scheme 1). Benzonitrile-ethylide ( 2c ) and benzonitrile-benzylide ( 2b ) [8] react, however, sluggishly with ketones, smooth cyclo-addition being observed in their case only with «activated» ketones (2,2,2-trifluoro-acetophenone, 1,1,1-trifluoro-2-propanone). With 1a acetonyl-acetone forms the bis-adduct 12 While the azirine 1a reacts with cyclohexanone to yield essentially only the spiro-(3-oxazoline) 13 , it gives with cyclopentanone, depending on the reaction conditions, either the spiro-(3-oxazoline) 14 or the butenyl-3-oxazoline 15 (scheme 3). The formation of 15 has to be preceded by the photochemical formation of 4-pentenal from the ketone. Norcamphor and camphor react in a similar way (schemes 4 and 5). The azirines 1a–c react smoothly with the keto groups in acylcyanides and α-keto-esters, giving with the former 5-cyano-3-oxazolines and with the latter 5-ethoxycarbonyl-3-oxazolines (schemes 6 and 7). β-Keto-esters (acetoacetic ester) form with the dipole arising from 1a the expected addition product 31 and, via the protonated dipole d (scheme 8), finally the benzylidene-acetoacetic ester. Analogous results are obtained with malonodinitrile, trifluoro-acetamide and other weak acids such as alcohols [29] [30] (scheme 9). The light-induced rearrangement of the bicyclic isoxazoline 37 into the oxazoline 38 is visualized as an intramolecular cyclo-addition reaction (scheme 10). The cyclo-addition in this case proceeds with the aldehyde group inversed as compared to the related intermolecular benzonitrile–methylide addition to aldehydes.

Umwandlung von Krötengiften (Bufadienoldien) durch Mikroorganismen IV. 7β-Hydroxybufalin, 7β-Hydroxyresibufogenin und 12α-Hydroxyresibufogenin. 16. Mitteilung über Reaktionen mit Mikroorganismen [1]

Bufalin ( 1 ) was transformed to 7β-hydroxybufalin ( 2 ) by an aqueous suspension of the mycelium of Absidia orchidis VUILL. (HAGEM. ). Incubation of resibuforgenin ( 9 ) under the same conditions yielded 12α-hydroxyresibufogenin ( 7 ) and, under changed conditions, another monohydroxylated derivative which possesses most likely the structure of 7β-hydroxyresibufogenin ( 10 ). The corresponding cardenolide 3-O-acetyl-14β, 15β-epoxy-14-anhydro-digitoxigenin ( 17 ) gave both the 7β- and the 12α-monohydroxylated derivatives 18 and 22 and another monohydroxylated product 21 of unknown structure. All microbial transformation products are new.     

Photochemische Cycloadditionen von 3-Phenyl-2H-azirinen mit Benzoyl-, Äthoxycarbonyl- und Vinylphosphonaten 34. Mitteilung über Photoreaktionen

The irradiation of the 3-phenyl-2H-azirines 1a–c in the presence of diethyl benzoylphosphonate ( 8 ) in cyclonexane solution, using a mercury high pressure lamp (pyrex filter), yields the diethyl (4, 5-diphenyl-3-oxazolin-5-yl)-phosphonates 9a–c (Scheme 3). In the case of 1b a mixture of two diastereomeric 3-oxazolines, resulting from a regiospecific but non-stereospecific cycloaddition of the benzonitrile-benzylide dipole 2b to the carbonyl group of the phosphonate 8 , was isolated. Benzonitrile-isopropylide ( 2a ), generated from 2,2-dimethyl-3-phenyl-2H-azirine ( 1a ), undergoes a cycloaddition reaction to the ester-carbonyl group of diethyl ethoxycarbonylphosphonate ( 15 ) with the same regiospecificity to give the 3-oxazoline derivative 16 (Scheme 5). The azirines 1a–c , on irradiation in benzene in the presence of diethyl vinylphosphonate ( 17 ) give non-regiospecifically the Δ¹-pyrrolines 13a–c and 14a–c (Scheme 6).     

Darstellung und Eigenschaften von Tris-(β-chloräthyl) phosphinoxid und Bis-(β-chloräthyl)-(chlormethyl)-phosphinoxid. 43. Mitteilung über organische Phosphorverbindungen [1]

The oxidative degradation of [(HOCH₂CH₂)₃PCH₂OH]⁺Cl^? ( 1 ) with Cl₂ yields, dependent on the pH used, either (HOCH₂CH₂)₃P?O ( 2 ) or (HOCH₂CH₂)₂ (HOCH₂) P?O ( 3 ). Chlorination of 2 and 3 with PCl₅ produces the corresponding chlorides (ClCH₂CH₂)₃P?O ( 4 ) and (ClCH₂CH₂)₂ (ClCH₂)P?O ( 5 ), respectively. Acetylation of 2 and 3 gives the corresponding esters (CH₃CO₂CH₂CH₂)₃P?O ( 6 ), and (CH₃CO₂CH₂CH₂)₂ (CH₃CO₂CH₂)P?O ( 7 ), respectively. Reaction of 7 with HBr results in the formation of (BrCH₂CH₂)₂ (BrCH₂)P?O. Nucleophilic substitution of the chlorine atoms in 4 and 5 with alkoxide or mercaptide gives e.g., 9 , 10 , 11 or 11a , while treatment with tertiary amines yields the vinyl compounds (CH₂?CH)₃P?O ( 12 ) and (CH₂?CH)₂ (CH₂Cl)P?O ( 13 ). 4 and 5 also undergo an Arbuzov type reaction with tertiary phosphites to give 14 and 15 , respectively, which on hydrolysis with conc. HCl give the corresponding acids 16 and 17 , respectively.

Photochemische Cycloadditionen von 3-Phenyl-2H-azirinen an Carbonsäurechloride. 35. Mitteilung über Photoreaktionen

Irradiation of 2, 3-diphenyl-2H-azirine ( 1a ) and 1-azido-1-phenyl-propene, the precursor of 2-methyl-3-phenyl-2H-azirine ( 1b ), in benzene, with a high pressure mercury lamp (pyrex filter) in the presence of acid chlorides yields the oxazoles 5a–d (Scheme 2). Photolysis of 2, 2-dimethyl-3-phenyl-2H-azirine ( 1c ) under the same conditions gives after methanolysis the 5-methoxy-2, 2-dimethyl-4-phenyl-3-oxazolines 7a, b, d , while hydrolysis of the reaction mixture leads to the formation of the 1, 2-diketones 8a, c, d (Scheme 4). The suggested reaction path for all these reactions is a 1, 3-dipolar cycloaddition of the photochemically generated benzonitrilemethylides 2 to the carbonyl double bond of the acid chlorides to give the intermediates 4 , followed by either elimination of hydrogen chloride or solvolysis (Schemes 2 and 4). Irradiation of 1c in the presence of acetic acid anhydride leads via the intermediate 9 to the 5-hydroxy-3-oxazoline 10 and the 5-methylidene-3-oxazoline 11 (Scheme 5).

Beitrag zur Massenspektrometrie substituierter α, ω-Alkandiamine. 29. Mitteilung über massenspektrometrische Untersuchungen

Contribution to the mass spectrometry of substituted α,ω-alkane diamines The main mass spectral fragmentation pattern of compounds of types 1 to 4 is discussed. After loss of C₆H₅ · CH₂ · from the molecular ion the acid correspondin to the N,N-disubstituted residue is splitted off. The mechanism of this fragmentation reaction depends on the member of CH₂-groups between the two nitrogen atoms (Schemes 1 and 3) and on the substitution pattern of both nitrogens (Scheme 2).
