Masked mercapto acid-driven MCR in task-specific ionic liquid: a new sterocontrolled entry into bicyclic 1,3-thiazines

An unprecedented multi-component reaction for the synthesis of thiosugar-annulated 1,3-thiazines is reported. The envisaged synthetic strategy involves the reaction of d-glucose/d-xylose and 2-methyl-2-phenyl-1,3-oxathiolan-5-one with AcONH₄/RNH₂ in task specific ionic liquid (TSIL), [bmim]SCN which afforded thiosugar annulated 1,3-thiazines in excellent yields (83–93%). The reaction is effected via ionic liquid promoted Michael addition followed by mercaptoacetylative ring transformation in a one-pot procedure and the ionic liquid, [bmim]OH could be easily recycled for further use without any loss of efficiency and be used for the synthesis of [bmim]SCN, thus allowing recycling of the TSIL for further use.

The synthesis involves sequential Michael addition, condensation, and ring transformation. Ambient temperature, operational simplicity, use of an environmentally clean catalyst, high yields, and diastereoselectivity are the key features of the present synthetic protocol.     

Condensation of γ-bromodypnone with thiocarbamides: Synthesis of 4,4-disubstituted 4,5-dihydro-1,3-thiazol-2-amines and thiazolidin-2-ones

The reaction of 4-bromo-1,3-diphenyl-2-buten-1-one with thiourea or N,N′-diphenylthiourea gives 2-(2-amino-4-phenyl-4,5-dihydro-1,3-thiazol-4-yl)-and 2-[3,4-diphenyl-2-(phenylimino)-1,3-thiazolidin-4-yl]-1-phenyl-1-ethanone — the products of nucleophilic substitution of the halogen atom and Michael addition at position 3 of the 2-buten-1-one system. A similar reaction with thiosemicarbazide and 1-phenylthiosemicarbazide gives the 4-(2-oxo-2-phenylethyl)-4-phenyl-and 4-(2-oxo-2-phenylethyl)-3,4-diphenyl-1,3-thiazolidin-2-one hydrobromides respectively. __________ Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 1, pp. 103–110, January, 2008.

Quinazolines and 1,4-benzodiazepines. LXI. Syntheses of 7-Acetyl-1,4-benzodiazepines

Methods for the synthesis of the biologically active 7-acetyl-1,3-dihydro-5-phenyl-2H-1,4-benzodiazepin-2-one ( 6 ) are described. This includes two new methods for the preparation of 5-acetyl-2-aminobenzophenone ( 4 ). The crucial steps in these syntheses involve, respectively, the oxidation of an ethyl group to an acetyl group with permanganate or ceric ions ( 2 → 3; 5 → 6 ), the selective reaction of methyl lithium with the cyano group of 7-cyano-1,3-dihydro-5-phenyl-2H-1,4-benzodiazepin-2-one ( 8 ) and the efficient condensation of benzyl cyanide with the ethylene ketal of p-nitroacetophenone to form the anthranil 11 .     

Acid hydrolysis of N-methyl derivatives of 4-phenyl-5-oxo-4,5-dehydroindeno[1,2-b]pyridine

The splitting of the dihydropyridine ring of N-methyl-substituted 4-phenyl-5-oxo-4,5-dihydroindeno[1,2-b]pyridine in an acid medium takes place at the C-N bond. During the splitting of 1,2-dimethyl-4-phenyl-4,5-dihydroindeno[1,2-b]-pyridine, 4-phenyl-4-(indane-1,3-dion-2-yl)butan-2-one is formed, while in the case of the 3-ethoxycarbonyl derivative of indenopyridine, together with the Michael retroreaction leading to 2-benzylideneindane-1,3-dione, a recyclization of the intermediate product into a derivative of dihydroindeno-2-pyridone takes place.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 10, 1363–1366, October, 1986.     

Derivatives of α,β-dehydro amino acids: III. Reaction of 4-arylmethylidene-4,5-dihydro-1,3-oxazol-5-ones with hexamethyldisilazane

4-Arylmethylidene-4,5-dihydro-1,3-oxazol-5-ones reacted with hexamethyldisilazane in ethyl acetate, acetonitrile, or DMF at room temperature to give mainly 2-acylamino-3-arylmethylideneprop-2-enamides, whereas in boiling DMF the corresponding 4-arylmethylidene-4,5-dihydro-1H-imidazol-5-ones were formed. The reaction of 2-benzoylamino-3-phenylprop-2-enamide with hexamethyldisilazane also led to the formation of 4-benzylidene-2-phenyl-4,5-dihydro-1H-imidazol-5-one, while its reaction with chlorotrimethylsilane afforded either a 1:1 mixture of 4-benzylidene-2-phenyl-4,5-dihydro-1,3-oxazol-5-one and 4-benzylidene-2-phenyl-4,5-dihydro-1H-imidazol-5-one or only the latter, depending on the solvent.     

Selenium heterocycles. XXX. Synthesis of 4-substituted vinyl 2-thioxo-1,3-dithioles and 5-substituted vinyl 2-thioxo-1,3-thiaselenoles

Towards organo-click chemistry: development of organocatalytic multicomponent reactions through combinations of aldol, Wittig, Knoevenagel, Michael, Diels-Alder and Huisgen cycloaddition reactions

Here we report on our studies on combinations of amino acids and copper(I) for catalyzing multicomponent reactions (MCRs). We aimed to prepare both diene and dienophiles simultaneously, under very mild and environmentally friendly conditions, thus giving the constituents for a stereocontrolled Diels-Alder reaction, which in turn yields compounds 4 to 8. A diversity-oriented synthesis of polysubstituted spirotriones 4 to 6 were assembled from simple substrates like 1-(triphenylphosphanylidene)-propan-2-one, two aldehydes, and cyclic-1,3-diketones through Wittig/Knoevenagel/Diels-Alder and aldol/Knoevenagel/Diels-Alder reaction sequences in one pot under stereospecific organocatalysis. Chemical diversity libraries of polysubstituted spirotrione-1,2,3-traizoles 8 were assembled from simple substrates by means of Wittig/Knoevenagel/Diels-Alder/Huisgen cycloaddition reaction sequences in one pot under stereospecific organo/Cu(I) catalysis. Functionalized dispirolactones such as 6 are biologically active antioxidants and radical scavengers, and spirotrione-1,2,3-traizoles 8 have found wide applications in chemistry, biology, and materials science. Experimentally simple and environmentally friendly, organocatalytic, asymmetric four-component Diels-Alder (AFCDA) reactions of 1-(triphenylphosphanylidene)- propan-2-one, two different aldehydes, and cyclic-1,3-diketones produced diastereospecific and highly enantioselective substituted spirotriones 4 by means of a Wittig/Knoevenagel/Diels-Alder reaction sequence in one pot. Additionally we have developed an organocatalytic, asymmetric three-component Michael (ATCM) reaction of 1-(triphenylphosphanylidene)-propan-2-one, aldehyde, and cyclic-1,3-diketones that produced Michael adducts 15, 16 through a Wittig/Michael reaction sequence in a highly enantioselective one-pot process.     

Asymmetric total synthesis of (20S)-Camptothecin using a chiral auxiliary strategy

An asymmetric eight-step total synthesis of (20S)-camptothecin, starting from the known compound tert-butyl (2-chloroquinolin-3-yl)methylcarbamate, is described. A Heck reaction followed by an intramolecular Michael addition to form the C-ring provides the first key step in this synthesis. The construction of the 20(S) chiral center relies on a chiral auxiliary-mediated Michael addition using (2R,5R)-2-tert-butyl-5-ethyl-1,3-dioxolan-4-one as the auxiliary.

Studies on Phosphonium Ylides XXV: The Behavior of Active Phosphacumulene and Stabilized Alkylidenephosphoranes Towards 5-(4H)-Oxazolones

The reaction of 2-phenyl-5-(4H)-oxazolone 1 and its 4-benzylidene derivative 2 with oxovinylidenetriphenylphosphorane 3 afforded 2-phenylfuro [3,2-d] [1,3]oxazol-5-(6H)-one 6 and 2,7-diphenyl-5H-pyrano[3,2-d][1,3]oxazol-5-one 7 along with triphenylphosphine. Alternatively, when 2-phenyl-5-(4H)-oxazolone 1 reacts with phosphorus ylides 4a–f the corresponding new phosphorane, the cyclic and/or the olefinic adducts were obtained. Moreover, oxazolone reacts with N-(triphenylphosphoranylidene)aniline 5 to give the new imino product 14 together with triphenylphosphine oxide. Possible reaction mechanisms are considered and the structural assignments are based on analytical and spectroscopic results. Biological evaluations of the new products are also studied.

The reaction of N-[1-(N, N-dimethylthiocarbamoyl)-1-methyl-3-butenyl]benzamid ( 1 ) with HCl or TsOH in MeCN or toluene yields a mixture of 4-allyl-4-methyl-2-phenyl-1,3-thiazol-5(4H)-one ( 5a ) and allyl 4-methyl-2-phenyl-1,3-thiazol-2-yl sulfide ( 11 ; Scheme 3). Most probably, the corresponding 1,3-oxazol-5(4H)-thiones B are intermediates in this reaction. With HCl in MeOH, 1 is transformed into methyl 5,6-dihydro-4,6-dimethyl-2-phenyl-1,3(4H)-thiazine-4-carboxylate ( 12a ). The same product 12a is formed on treatment of the 1,3-thiazol-5(4H)-one 5a with HCl in MeOH (Scheme 4). It is shown that the latter reaction type is common for 4-allyl-substituted 1,3-thiazol-5(4H)-ones.
