The syntheses of the K-imine derivatives of benzo[h]quinoline ( 1 ), benzo[f]quinoline ( 2 ) and 1,10-phenanthroline ( 3 ) are described. The parent nitrogen heterocycles were oxidized with sodium hypochlorite to the corresponding K-oxides, 4, 6 and 8 , which in turn were reacted with sodium azide. The resulting azido alcohols were then cyclized with triethyl phosphite to the title compounds 5, 7 and 9 . The oxirane ring cleavage in benzo[h]quinoline 5,6-oxide ( 4 ) and in benzo[f]quinoline 5,6-oxide ( 6 ) by sodium azide proceeded by the predicted regioselectivity: 4 gave trans-5-azido-5,6-dihydro-6-benzo[h]quinolinol ( 11 ) and trans-6-azido-5,6-dihydro-5-benzo[h]quinolinol ( 10 ) as the major and minor products respectively, and 6 yielded solely trans-6-azido-5,6-dihydro-5-benzo[f]quinolinol ( 12 ). The latter compound proved by X-ray analysis to crystallize as a hydrogen bonded dimer.

Sample preparation of sewage sludge and soil samples for the determination of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons based on one-pot microwave-assisted saponification and extraction

A microwave-assisted sample preparation (MASP) procedure was developed for the analysis of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in sewage sludge and soil samples. The procedure involved the simultaneous microwave-assisted extraction of PAHs with n-hexane and the hydrolysis of samples with methanolic potassium hydroxide. Because of the complex nature of the samples, the extracts were submitted to further cleaning with silica and Florisil solid-phase extraction cartridges connected in series. Naphthalene, acenaphthene, fluorene, phenanthrene, anthracene, fluoranthene, pyrene, benz[a]anthracene, chrysene, benzo[e]pyrene, benzo[b]fluoranthene, benzo[k]fluoranthene, benzo[a]pyrene, dibenz[a,h]anthracene, benzo[g,h,i]perylene, and indeno[1,2,3-cd]pyrene, were considered in the study. Quantification limits obtained for all of these compounds (between 0.4 and 14.8 μg kg⁻¹ dry mass) were well below of the limits recommended in the USA and EU. Overall recovery values ranged from 60 to 100%, with most losses being due to evaporation in the solvent exchange stages of the procedure, although excellent extraction recoveries were obtained. Validation of the accuracy was carried out with BCR-088 (sewage sludge) and BCR-524 (contaminated industrial soil) reference materials.     

Synthesis of spiro(benzo[h]quinazoline-5,1′-cyclohexane) derivatives

Amino ester 1 is transformed byacetamide and formamideinto 2-methyl-4-oxo-3, 4, 5, 6-tetrahydrospiro(benzo[h]quinazoline-5,1 -cyclohexane) and 4-oxo-3, 4, 5, 6-tetrahydrospiro(benzo[h]quinazoline-5,1-cyclohexane (11), respectively. Alkylation of quinazoline 11 with methyl iodide results in formation of 3-methyl-4-oxo-3, 4, 5, 6-tetrahydro-spiro (benzo[h]quinazoline-5,1 -cyclohexane). Amino ester 1 reacts with caprolactam with formation of 2, 3 pentamethylene-4-oxo-3, 4, 5, 6-tetrahydrospiro(benzo[h]quinazoline-5,1-cyclohexane). 4-Ethoxymethyleneamino-3-ethoxy-carbonyl-1,2-dihydrospiro(naphthalene-2,1-cyclohexane) was synthesized by the reaction of amino ester 1 with o-formic ester, and was converted into 3-amino-4-oxo-3, 4,5, 6-tetrahydro-spiro(benzo[h]quinazoline-5,1-cyclohexane) (VIII) by hydrazine hydrate. Aminoquinazoline VIII is acylated by acid chlorides with formation of 3-acylamino-4-oxo-3,4,5,6-tetrahydrospiro(benzo[h]quinazoline-5,1-cyclohexanes) and forms 3-benzyl-ideneamino-4-oxo-3,4,5,6-teirahydrospiro(benzo[h]quinazoline-5,1-cyclohexane) with benzaldehyde.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 4, pp. 530–533, April, 1996

The reaction was accompanied by desulfurization and ring‐contraction reactions of the pentathiepin ring. Similarly, optically active 4,8‐diethyl[1,3]dithiolo[4,5‐f]benzo[1,2,3]trithiole 5‐oxide ( 7 ) was produced by the analogous asymmetric oxidation of 6,10‐diethyl[1,3]dithiolo[4,5‐h]benzo[1,2,3,4,5]pentathiepin ( 2 ). The specific rotations of 3 , 4 , and 7 were measured in chloroform, and their optical purity was verified by ¹H NMR with a shift reagent [Eu(hfc)₃]. The structures of 4 and 7 were determined by X‐ray crystallography using Cu Kα radiation, and the absolute configuration of the sulfinyl group was examined based on the Flack parameter, which revealed that 4 has an RR configuration, while 7 has an S configuration. The circular dichroism spectra of 3 , 4 , and 7 were measured in chloroform. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Some Transformations of 2-(Chloromethyl)-5,5-dimethyl-5,6-dihydrobenzo[<Emphasis Type="Italic">h</Emphasis>]quinazolin-4(3<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>)-one

The condensation of 1-amino-3,3-dimethyl-3,4-dihydronaphthalene-2-carbonitrile with chloroacetyl chloride afforded chloro-N-(2-cyano-3,3-dimethyl-3,4-dihydronaphthalen-1-yl)acetamide which underwent cyclization to 2-(chloromethyl)-5,5-dimethyl-5,6-dihydrobenzo[h]quinazolin-4(3H)-one. The latter reacted with various nucleophiles (alkali metal alkoxides, piperazine, 2-sulfanylethanol) to give 2-(alkoxymethyl)-, 2-(piperazin-1-ylmethyl)-, and 2-{[(2-hydroxyethyl)sulfanyl]methyl}-5,5-dimethyl-5,6-dihydrobenzo[h]quinazolin- 4(3H)-ones. The condensation of 2-(chloromethyl)benzo[h]quinazoline with 2-thioxo derivatives of quinazoline and benzo[h]quinazolines led to the formation of bis-quinazolines in which 5,5-dimethyl-5,6- dihydrobenzo[h]quinazolin-4(3H)-one fragment is linked to quinazoline or benzo[h]quinazoline system through a CH₂S bridge.
