One-potCuAAC synthesis of (1H-1,2,3-triazol-1-yl)methyl-1,3,4/1,2,4-oxadiazoles starting from available chloromethyl-1,3,4/1,2,4-oxadiazoles

The one-pot CuAAC synthesis of (1H-1,2,3-triazol-1-yl)methyl-1,3,4-oxadiazole and (1H-1,2,3-triazol-1-yl)methyl-1,2,4-oxadiazole derivatives via three-component reaction of consequent nucleophilic substitution of chlorine, with azide, and its further “click” reaction, with alkynes, in the presence of CuI was studied. The utility of newly synthesized 2-(azidomethyl)-1,3,4/1,2,4-oxadiazoles and chloromethyl-1,3,4/1,2,4-oxadiazole derivatives was explored, and their limitations were determined. Novel 5-([4-aryl-1H-1,2,3-triazol-1-yl]methyl)-3-(aryl)-1,2,4-oxadiazoles, 2-([4-aryl-1H-1,2,3-triazol-1-yl]methyl)-5-(aryl)-1,3,4-oxadiazoles were obtained in good yields.     

Oxidative addition of N-aminophthalimide to 2-alkenyl-1,3,4-oxadiazoles. Synthesis of aziridinyloxadiazoles

Oxidation of N-aminophthalimide with lead tetraacetate in the presence of 2-[(E)-2-arylethenyl]-5-phenyl-1,3,4-oxadiazoles gives the corresponding 2-(3-aryl-1-phthalimidoaziridin-2-yl)-5-phenyl-1,3,4-oxadiazoles. From 2-phenyl-5-[(1E,3E)-4-phenylbuta-1,3-dien-1-yl]-1,3,4-oxadiazole only the addition product at both C=C bonds was obtained, while in the reaction with 2,5-bis[(E)-2-phenylethenyl]-1,3,4-oxadiazole both mono- and bis-adducts were isolated.     

3,3-Dinitrobutyl-1,2,4-oxadiazoles

The syntheses of 3,5-bis(3,3-dinitrobutyl)-1,2,4-oxadiazole and a series of 3-aryl-5-(3,3-dinitrobutyl)-1,2,4-oxadiazoles were accomplished by treating 4,4-dinitropentanoyl chloride with the appropriate amidoximes to yield the intermediate O-(4,4-dinitropentanoyl)amidoximes, which were dehydrated to the 1,2,4-oxadiazoles.     

The synthesis of azole derivatives from 3-[(4-methylphenyl)amino]propanehydrazide and its N′-phenylcarbamoyl derivatives, and their antibacterial activity

Abstract  

5-[2-[(4-Methylphenyl)amino]ethyl]-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2(3H)-thione, 5-[2-[(4-methylphenyl)amino]ethyl]-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2(3H)-one, N-(2,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrrol-1-yl)-3-[(4-methylphenyl)amino]propanamide, and a series of N-[(phenylcarbamoyl)amino]-3-[(4-methylphenyl)amino]propanamides and 3-[(4-methylphenyl)(phenylcarbamoyl)amino]-N-[(phenylcarbamoyl)amino]propanamides, and their thio analogues were synthesized from 3-[(4-methylphenyl)amino]propanehydrazide. 1,3,4-Oxadiazole-2(3H)-thione was converted to 4-amino-2,4-dihydro-5-[2-[(4-methylphenyl)amino]ethyl]-3H-1,2,4-triazole-3-thione, whereas cyclization of N′-phenylcarbamoyl derivatives provided thiazole, oxadiazoles, and thiadiazole, as well as triazole derivatives. Two of the synthesized compounds exhibited good antibacterial activity against Rhizobium radiobacter.     

Reaction of 1,3,4,6-tetraketones with <Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis>-toluidine and benzaldehyde

Reactions of 1,6-diphenylhexane-1,3,4,6-tetraone, octane-2,4,5,7-tetra-one, and decane-3,5,6,8-tetraone with a mixture of p-toluidine and benzaldehyde afforded, respectively, 2-[4-benzoyl-3-hydroxy-1-(4-methylphenyl)-5-phenyl-1H-pyrrol-2-yl]-1-phenylethanone, (1E)-1-[4-acetyl-3-hydroxy-1-(4-methylphenyl)-5-phenyl-1,5-dihydro-2H-pyrrol-2-ylidene]propan-2-one, and 2-hydroxy-1-(4-methylphenyl)-2-(2-oxobutyl)-4-propanoyl-5-phenyl-1,2-dihydro-3H-pyrrol-3-one.     

Lead tetraacetate oxidation of phenylhydrazones of 3-benzoylazoles. Synthesis of azoacetates and their conversion into indazoles

Lead tetraacetate (LTA) oxidation of (E)- and (Z)-phenylhydrazones of 3-benzoyl-5-phenyl-1,2,4-oxadiazole, 3-benzoyl-5-phenylisoxazole, and 3-benzoyl-4-methyl-1,2,5-oxadiazole has been studied. Conversion of azoacetate products into 3-(azol-3-yl)-substituted indazoles has been achieved by reacting them with aluminium chloride in benzene at room temperature.     

Mononuclear heterocyclic rearrangements. Part 12. Rearrangement of 1,2,4-oxadiazoles into indazoles

The first example of a mononuclear heterocyclic rearrangement involving an XYZ = CCN side-chain sequence is reported. The 3-(o-aminophenyl)-, and 3-(o-methylaminophenyl)-5-methyl-1,2,4-oxadiazoles ( 3a,b ) gave a thermally induced rearrangement into 3-acylaminoindazoles ( 4a,b ). On the other hand, the 3-(o-acetylaminophenyl)-5-methyl-1,2,4-oxadiazole ( 3c ) produced a base induced rearrangement into 3-acetylaminoindazole ( 4a ).     

Amino acids in the synthesis of heterocyclic systems. Synthesis of γ-(5-(1,2,4-Triazinylidene))-α,β-dehydro-α-amino acid derivatives and 6H-pyrido[1,2-d][1,2,4]triazin-6-ones

5-(1,2,4-Triazinyl) substituted enamines 3 react with 5(4H)-oxazolones 4 in acetic anhydride to give acetylated products 5 , while in toluene-acetic acid mixture nonacetylated products 9 are formed. Both types of products were isolated as (E,Z) mixtures. Compounds 5 and 9 rearrange into 6H-pyrido[1,2-d]-[1,2,4]triazin-6-ones 12 by heating in formic acid or in xylene, respectively. Compounds 5 are transformed in the presence of nucleophiles, such as sodium alkoxides or sodium amides via anionic form 10 into corresponding esters 13 and amides 14 of γ-(5-(1,2,4-triazinylidene)) substituted derivatives of α-amino-2-butenoic acid, which exist in 2-(Z),4-(Z) form.     

Anil-Synthese. 20. Mitteilung. Über die Herstellung von Stilbenyl-Derivaten des 1,2,4,-Oxadiazols

Preparation of Stilbenyl Derivatives of 1,2,4-Oxadiazoles Schiffs bases derived from 3- and 5-(p-formylphenyl)-phenyl-1,2,4-oxadiazoles and chloroanilines are reacted with various p-tolyl substituted aromatic heterocycles in the presence of dimethylformamide and potassium hydroxide to yield the corresponding heterocyclic substituted stilbenes (‘Anil synthesis’). The reactivity of 5-[4-(chlorophenylimino-methyl)phenyl]-3-phenyl-1,2,4-oxadiazoles is very low and side reactions will predominate.     

Condensation of 5-(4-methylphenyl)-2,4-dihydro-3H-1,2,4-triazole-3-thione with haloacetic acids

Reactions of triazolethiones with haloacetic acids were studied with 5-(4-methylphenyl)-2,4-dihydro-3H-1,2,4-triazole-3-thione as an example. It was proved for the first time by X-ray diffraction that the cyclocondensation of these compounds proceeds regiospecifically to give 2-(4-methylphenyl)[1,3]thiazolo[3,2-b][1,2,4]triazol-6(5H)-one rather than its isomer 3-(4-methylphenyl)[1,3]thiazolo[2,3-c][1,2,4]triazol-5(6H)-one.     

Synthèse de deux nouveaux acides amines phénoliques comportant un cycle 1,2,4-oxadiazole

Synthesis of two phenolic amino acids containing the 1,2,4-oxadiazole ring The synthesis of α-amino-β [3-(p-hydroxyphenyl)-1,2,4, oxadiazol-5-yl]propionic acid (9) and its β-amino isomer (10) (see scheme 3) is reported. By condensation of p-benzyloxy-benzamide oxime and N-benzyloxycarbonyl asparagine the derivatives 4 and 5 (see scheme 1) are obtained leading after deprotection to 9 and 10 . The synthesis of N-carboxyanhydride of 4 (6) and its corresponding amino acid (7) and amide (8) is also described.     

1,3-Dipolar cycloadditions of mesitonitrile oxide with (9-fluorenylidene)-aceto- and malono-nitriles. Synthesis of mono- and bis-1,2,4-oxadiazolylmethane derivatives

Mesitonitrile oxide reacts with C ≡ N bond of (aryl)(9-fluorenylidene)acetonitriles 1 forming in very good yields the corresponding 1,2,4-oxadiazoles 2. Analogously also proceeds the reaction of mesitonitrile oxide with 9-fluorenylidenemalonodinitrile (3) with the formation of bis-1,2,4-oxadiazole derivative 4.     

Synthesis of 5-aryl-3-carbazoyl-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2(3H)-one. Derivatives and their ring transformation into 5-benzamido-1,2,4-triazolidine-3,5-dione derivatives

Some 5-aryl-3-carbazoyl-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2(3H)-one derivatives 6 and 9 have been synthesized in two ways. The expected thermal ring transformation into 2,5-disubstituted 1,3,4-oxadiazoles did not occur but, by acid hydrolysis of 5-aryl-3-[3-benzylidene-2-methyl(or phenyl)carbazoyl]-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2(3H)-ones 6 , a new ring transformation took place and the corresponding 4-benzamido-1-methyl(or phenyl)-1,2,4-triazolidine-3,5-dione derivatives 11 were formed. The 4-amino-1-phenyl-1,2,4-triazolidine-3,5-dione ( 19 ) has been prepared and its structure was confirmed by some reactions.     

2-Phenyl-5-(trichloromethyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazoles,A new class of antimalarial substances

An investigation of hybrids of 2,5-dimethyl-1,3,4-oxadiazole (I) and α,α,α,α',α',α'-hexachloro-p-xylene (Hetol®) (II) as potential antimalarial agents led to the synthesis of representative 2-phenyI-5-(trichloromethyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazoles (VIa-f, VIII-X) and related trichloromethyl 1,2,4-oxadiazole, 1,3,4-oxadiazoles, and 1,3,4-thiadiazole (VII, XIII-XV). Treatment of the appropriately substituted benzoic: acid hydrazides (IVa-f) with trichloroacetic anhydride afforded the intermediate 1-benzoyl-2-(triehloroacetyl)hydrazines (Va-f) which were cyclized to the desired 5-(chlorophenyl, tolyl, or α,α,α-trifluorotolyl)-2-(trichloromethyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazoles (VIa-f) (44–66%) in situ utilizing phosphorous oxychloride. Chlorination of the 5-tolyl-2-(trichloromethyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazoles (VId-f) afforded 2-(trichloromethyl)-5-(α,α,α-trichloro-m- and p-tolyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazole (VIII and IX) and 2-(α,α,α,α',α',α'-hexachloro-3,5-xylyl)-5-(trichloromethyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazole (X) in 23–56% yield. Each of the 2-phenyl-5-(trichloromethyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazoles (VIa-f, VIII-X) was active against Plasmodium berghei in mice when administered in single 160 or 640 mg./kg. subcutaneous doses or given orally by drug-diet for 6 days at doses of 29–336 mg./kg./day. The 2-(trichloromethyl)-5-(α,α,α-trichlorotolyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazoles (VIII-X) were the most active compounds prepared and exhibited activity against P. berghei comparable with Hetol®. Structure-activity relationships are discussed.     

Heterocyclic rearrangements. N,N-diphenylhydrazones,oximes and O-methyloximes of 3-benzoyl-5-phenyl-1,2,4-oxadiazole

The behaviour of (E)- and (Z)-N,N-diphenylhydrazones and O-Methyloximes of 3-benzoyl-5-phenyl-1,2,4-oxadiazole has been studied. When refluxed in benzene, or in dioxane-water (1:1), the (Z)-N,N-diphenylhydrazone 8Z gave the indazole 11 or the substituted semicarbazide 12 , respectively. The O-methyloxime 14Z did not give any rearrangement. A criticism of the oximation reaction of 3-benzoyl-5-phenyl-1,2,4-oxadiazole is also reported.     

Palladium complex of 6-(2-hydroxy-5-methylphenyl)-3-(pyridin-2-yl)-1,2,4-triazin-5(2<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>)-one: Synthesis,structure, and catalytic activity

Palladium(II) complex with 6-(2-hydroxy-5-methylphenyl)-3-(pyridin-2-yl)-1,2,4-triazin-5(2H)-one was synthesized for the first time. The ligand was prepared from 3-(pyridin-2-yl)-1,2,4-triazin-5(2H)-one and 4-methylphenol via nucleophilic substitution of hydrogen (S_N^H reaction). The complex was readily soluble in basic medium, and it effectively catalyzed Mizoroki-Heck reaction.     

Mass spectra of some perfluoroalkyl and perfluoroalkylether substituted 1,2,4-oxadiazoles

Electron impact fragmentation patterns were obtained for 1,4-bis[(5-perfluoro-n-heptyl)-1,2,4-oxadiazolyl]-benzene, its perfluoroalkylether substituted analogue, 3,5-bis(perfluoroalkyl)-, 3,5-bis(perfluoroalkylether)- and 3-perfluoroalkylether-5-perfluoroalkyl-1,2,4-oxadiazoles. In the compounds containing the phenylene group the molecular ion constituted the base peak; the main process was the breakdown of the oxadiazole ring with concurrent liberation of the perfluoroalkyl or perfluoroalkylether nitrile molecule; cleavage of the fluorinated chain α to the oxadiazole ring was found to take place to a considerable degree. In the perfluorinated 1,2,4-oxadiazoles cleavage β to the oxadiazole ring occurred preferentially; fragmentation of the ring itself took place to a limited degree only. The 3-perfluoroalkylether-5-perfluoroalkyl-1,2,4-oxadiazole appeared to undergo the primary β-cleavage exclusively at the perfluoroalkylether sidechain.     

Hetaryl- and heteroarylvinyl-substituted nitrofurans identified as non-cytotoxic selective antitubercular agents

New (E)-5-[2-(5-nitrofuran-2-yl)vinyl]-1,2,4-oxadiazoles and 5-(5-nitrofuran-2-yl)-1,2,4-oxadiazoles were synthesized via the base-promoted condensation of nitrofuran-containing acyl chlorides with amidoximes. Testing these compounds against Gram-negative E. coli, Gram-positive B. subtilis and S. aureus as well as M. tuberculosis HRv37 strain revealed three compounds being selectively antimycobacterial. None of these compounds displayed any cytotoxicity towards human pancreatic epithelioid carcinoma cell line, PANC-1.     

Ring transformations of heterocycles. Part 1. Transformation of 4-amino-Δ2-1,2,4-oxadiazolines into 1,3,4-oxadiazoles

3-Aryl-4-amino-δ²-1,2,4-oxadiazolines 3 and their N-chloroacetyl derivatives 4 , upon treatment with chloroacetic anhydride in refluxing toluene, afford 2-chloromethyl-5-aryl-1,3,4-oxadiazoles 5 , suggesting the conversion sequence 3 → 4 → 5 . The generality of the new ring transformation 4 → 5 is supported similar conversion of other 4-(acylamino)-1,2,4-oxadiazolines 8 to 1,3,4-oxadiazoles 9 .     

Reduction of (<Emphasis Type="Italic">E</Emphasis>)-3-aryl-2-(thiazol-2-yl)acrylonitriles with lithium aluminum hydride

Reduction of (E)-3-aryl-2-(4-arylthiazol-2-yl)acrylonitriles with lithium aluminum hydride in dry ether afforded (Z)-1-amino-3-aryl-2-(thiazol-2-yl)prop-1-ene derivatives in 15 to 40% yields. The structure of (Z)-1-amino-3-(2-chlorophenyl)-2-[4-(4-methylphenyl)thiazol-2-yl]prop-1-ene was confirmed by X-ray diffraction analysis. Dedicated to Academician N. K. Kochetkov on the occasion of his 90th birthday. __________ Published in Russian in Izvestiya Akademii Nauk. Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 5, pp. 1301–1303, May, 2005.
