Pyridine-substituted hydroxythiophenes. IV. Preparation of 3- and 4-(2-, 3- and 4-pyridyl)-2-hydroxythiophenes

3-(2-, 3- and 4-Pyridyl)-2-methoxythiophenes have been prepared in good yields through the Pd(0)-cat-alyzed coupling of the three isomeric bromopyridines with 3-trimethylstannyl-2-methoxythiophene. This compound was prepared through halogen-metal exchange of 3-bromo-2-methoxythiophene followed by stannylation. 3-Bromo-2-methoxythiophene was prepared by dibromination and α-debromination of 2-methoxythiophen. Most attempts to demethylate 2-methoxy-3-pyridylthiophenes using a large variety of reagents failed, probably due to the instability and high reactivity of the desired 3-pyridyl-2-hydroxythiophene systems. Only 2-methoxy-3-(3-pyridyl)thiophene reacted with boron tribromide to give 3-(3-pyridyl)-3-thiolene-2-one, which only was stable in ether solution at ?20°. The attempted demethylation of 2-methoxy-3-(2-pyridyl)thiophene with trimethylsilane chloride/sodium iodide in refluxing acetonitrile led to a dimer. Demethylation of the 2-methoxy-3-pyridylthiophenes with dibenzyl diselenide and sodium borohydride gave 3-pyridylthiophan-2-ones. A number of other routes to prepare 3-pyridyl-2-hydroxythiophenes were also explored, but none of them gave the desired compounds. On the other hand, the 4-(2-, 3-, and 4-pyridyl)-2-hydroxythiophene systems could easily be prepared by hydrogen peroxide oxidation of the corresponding 4-pyridyl-2-thiopheneboronic esters, which were obtained from 2-bromo-4-pyridylthiophenes by halogen-metal exchange followed by reaction with ethyl borate. The 2-bromo-4-pyridylthiophenes were prepared by dibromination of the known 3-pyridylthiophenes to the 2,5-dibromo derivatives, and removal of the 2-bromine by halogen-metal exchange at ?100°, followed by hydrolysis. The ¹H nmr and ir spectroscopic investigations show that these quite stable 2-hydroxythiophene systems exist exclusively in the 4-pyridyl-3-thiolen-2-one forms.     

Heterogeneous-catalytic fischer reaction. 13. Catalytic synthesis of 4-, 5-, 6-, and 7-methoxyindoles

Methoxy-substituted acetaldehyde phenylhydrazones were cyclized in the vapor phase on a GIPKh-115 catalyst to give 4-, 5-, 6-, and 7-methoxyindoles. 5-Methoxyindole was obtained in 50% yield, 4- and 6-methoxyindoles were obtained in 85% yield, and 7-methoxyindole was obtained in 45% yield.See [1] for Communication 12.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 8, pp. 1054–1055, August, 1982.     

Reactions of Polyhalopyridines. 17. Synthesis of 2-, 3-, and 4-Perfluoroalkylthiopolychloropyridines

2-, 3-, and 4-Perfluoroalkylthiopolychloropyridines have been synthesized using perfluoroalkylated thiol and disulfide derivatives of polychloropyridines via the thermal decomposition of Xe(II) bisperfluoroalkylcarboxylates. It was shown that their formation takes place from the starting thiols only through the formation of the disulfides. It was found that 3,4,5,6-tetrachloro-2-trifluoromethylthiopyridine reacts with potassium p-tolylthiolate with retention of the fluorine containing fragment and substitution of the chlorine atom in position 4 of the pyridine ring by the tolythio group.     

Indole derivatives. 136. 4-, 5-, 6-, and 7-Nitro-3-indolesulfonic chlorides and sulfonamides

The reaction of nitroindoles with chlorosulfonic acid in the presence of sodium sulfate was used to synthesize 4-, 5-, 6-, and 7-nitroindole-3-sulfonyl chlorides. Under the influence of ammonia and several amines these compounds were convened to nitroindole-3-sulfonamides which were reduced with hydrazine hydrate in the presence of Raney nickel to the corresponding amines.See [1] for Communication 135.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 10, pp. 1341–1345, October, 1990.

Substituted pyridines. 2, 5-dimethyl-4-styryl- and -4-phenylethy-nylpyridines

2, 5-Dimethyl-4-styrylpyridine and 2,5-dimethyl-4-phenylethynylpyridine are prepared from 2, 5-dimethyl-4-β-phenylethylpyridine. Hydration of the second of these compounds gives gw-(2,5-dimethylpyridyl-4)acetophenone.     

Electropolymerization of aminophthalic acids. II. Polymerization of 4-(4′-aminobenzamido)-, 4-(2′-aminobenzoyl)-, and 4-(3′-aminobenzoyl) phthalic acid

The electrochemical polymerization of the amino phthalic acid series has been extended to the following derivatives: 4-(4′-aminobenzamido), 4-(2′-aminobenzoyl), and 4-(3′-aminobenzoyl)phthalic acid. Reactions were performed in both dimethylacetamide and ethanol. Both systems produced a film deposit at the anode which was identified as the amide acid of the starting material. Conversion by heat to the imide produced a brittle coating. Inherent viscosity measurements indicate that only low molecular weight material was formed.     

A new route to (2S,4R)- and (2R,4S)-4-hydroxypipecolic acid

Both enantiomers of cis-4-hydroxypipecolic acid have been prepared by asymmetric synthesis using (S)- or (R)-glycidol as the chiral source, and involving a stereoselective hydrogenation of a six-membered cyclic imine. The latter is obtained by reduction and cyclization of a cyano β-hydroxy ketone.
