Novel Synthesis of 1,8-Alkanopyrido[3,4-d]pyridazine: a New Ring System

Cycloalkylidenemalononitriles couple with various diazonium salts to yield the corresponding cycloalkeno[c]pyridazines, which react with trichloroacetonitrile to give the 1,8-alkanopyrido[3,4-d]pyridazines. The reaction of cycloalkenopyridazines with DMF dimethylacetal gives enamine derivatives, which can be converted to 1,8-alkanopyrido[3,4-d]pyridazines via treating with hydrazine hydrate or aromatic amines. Substituted cycloalkenopyridines react with diazoaminobenzene to afford the corresponding 1,8-alkanopyridopyridazines.     

Characteristics of the Dissociative Ionization of 9-Aryl(hetaryl)-3,3,6,6-tetramethyldecahydroacridine-1,8-diones under the Influence of Electron Impact

The mass spectra of 9-aryl(hetaryl)-3,3,6,6-tetramethyldecahydroacridine-1,8-diones have been studied and the basic directions of their dissociative ionization under the influence of electron impact have been elucidated. It has been shown that the decomposition pathways of decahydroacridine-1,8-diones depend on the nature of the substituents at position 10 and is connected with the preferential formation of a pyridinium structure with subsequent retrodiene decomposition of the molecules.     

CHLOROSULFONATION OF 9-ARYLOCTAHYDROXANTHEN-1,8-DIONES

The 9-aryloctahydroxanthen-1,8-diones (3, 4– 24) were prepared by reaction of cyclohexan-1,3-dione (1) with selected arylaldehydes. The xanthendiones (4– 9, 11, 12, 18, 21, 22) were successfully reacted with chlorosulfonic acid, and the crude sulfonyl chlorides were converted into 15 sulfonamides (26– 40) for screening as potential pesticides. Attempted chlorosulfonation of the xanthendiones (13– 17) was unsuccessful. α-Methylcinnamaldehyde was reacted with cyclohexandione (1) to yield the corresponding xanthendione derivative (23). On the other hand, with o-methoxycinnamaldehyde an impure product formed and the p-methoxy isomer afforded the corresponding 2-arylpyran (25). The NMR spectral data of the compounds are briefly discussed.

A green approach for one-pot three-component synthesis of N-substituted decahydroacridine-1,8-diones is offered for the first time using baker’s yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) as a biocatalyst under ultrasonication.

Synthesis and Characterization of Novel Monoazo N‐Ester‐1,8‐Naphthalimide Disperse Dyestuffs

Five novel monoazo disperse dyestuffs based on N‐ester‐1,8‐naphthalimide were synthesized. Acenaphthene was nitrated, then oxidized to 4‐nitro‐1,8‐naphthalic anhydride. 4‐Nitro‐1,8‐naphthalic anhydride was reacted with methyl and ethyl glycinate in alcoholic media, followed with reduction. 4‐Amino‐N‐methyl and ethyl glycinate‐1,8‐naphthalimide were obtained. These products were diazotized and coupled with appropriate aromatic amines to give bluish‐red or violet dyestuffs. All intermediates and dyestuffs were purified and characterized by ¹H‐NMR, FTIR, DSC, UV‐VIS and Elemental Analysis. Dispersion of dyestuffs was prepared in water and applied to polyester fabrics. The dyed fabrics showed that four of the synthesized dyestuffs were suitable for coloring polyester fibers, producing deep bluish red with very good build up properties.
