Azoles as Reactive Nucleophiles with Cyclic Perfluoroalkenes

Di‐ and multiazole‐substituted fluorocyclic products ( 2 – 13 ) were readily synthesized in good to high yields. These were synthesized by nucleophilic substitution reactions of perfluorocycloalkenes with azoles (i.e., imidazole, triazole) involving simple reaction procedures. Interestingly, these azoles were later found to be reactive not only with the vinylic, but also with the allylic fluorine atoms. This resulted in the substitution of up to six azoles on the fluorinated rings. Stoichiometry plays a key role in determining the degree of substitution. For comparison, the analogous reactions of N‐substituted 1‐(trimethylsilyl)‐imidazole and 1‐(trimethylsilyl)‐1,2,4‐triazole were also investigated. All of the new compounds were fully characterized by elemental, spectral (¹⁹F, ¹H, ¹³C NMR), and thermal differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) analyses.     

Reactions of Enaminones with Diazocarbonyl Compounds

The [Cu(acac)₂]‐catalyzed reactions of several tertiary enaminones with three diazocarbonyl compounds, i.e., dimethyl diazomalonate, ethyl diazoacetoacetate, and ethyl diazoacetate, yielded amino‐ and additionally carbonyl‐substituted dihydrofurans, together with further furan derivatives. Due to the conjugation of α‐carbonyl/α‐Ph groups, reactions proceeded only via 1,5‐electrocyclization of corresponding keto‐ylides. On the other hand, in the absence of any α‐substituent, tertiary enaminone and ethyl diazoacetate, reacted via an accompanying mechanism by a push‐pull cyclopropane intermediate, to yield a 2,4‐dicarbonyl‐substituted furan in one step with moderate yield.     

Rhodium‐Catalyzed Geminal Oxyfluorination and Oxytrifluoro‐Methylation of Diazocarbonyl Compounds

A new reaction for the rhodium‐catalyzed geminal‐difunctionalization‐based fluorination is presented. The substrates are aromatic and aliphatic diazocarbonyl compounds. As the fluorine source a stable and easily accessible benziodoxole reagent was used. A variety of alcohol, phenol, and carboxylic acid reagents were employed to introduce the second functionality. The reaction was extended to trifluoromethylation using a benziodoxolon reagent. The fluorination and trifluoromethylation reactions probably proceed by a rhodium‐containing onium ylide type intermediate, which is trapped by either the F or CF₃ electrophiles.     

A Theoretical Study on the Tautomerism of C-Carboxylic and Methoxycarbonyl Substituted Azoles

DFT calculations (B3LYP/6-31+G^**) have been carried out on 106 tautomers and conformers of NH-azoles bearing CO₂H and CO₂CH₃ groups. The following azoles systems have been studied: 2-substituted pyrroles, 2-substituted indoles, 2-substituted imidazoles, 2-substituted benzimidazoles, 4(5)-substituted imidazoles, 3(5)-substituted pyrazoles, 3-substituted indazoles (1H and 2H), 3,4(5)-substituted-1,2,3(5)-triazoles, 2,3(5)-substituted-1,2(3),4-triazoles, 4(5)-1,2,3,4(5)-tetrazoles. In the case of pyrazole, 3,5-disubstituted derivatives have also been computed, including four dimers.Dedicated to our friend Professor Vladimir I. Minkin on his 70th anniversary.     

Reactive Organometallic Compounds Obtained from Metallocenes and Related Compounds and Their Synthetic Applications

Progress in the synthesis of organometallic compounds via the partial or total degradation of metallocenes and related compounds under mild reaction conditions is reviewed. These degradation reactions permit highly reactive organo-transition metal complexes to be prepared which can in turn be used in a wide range of synthetic reactions. Examples include catalytic reactions such as the cobalt-catalyzed hydrogenation of benzene and the manganese-catalyzed cyclotrimerization of butadiene as well as stoichiometric syntheses of mono- and polynuclear transition metal complexes, some of which have novel structural features.     

Comparative Characteristics of Some Physicochemical Properties of Azoles

We have carried out a correlation analysis of some physicochemical characteristics of pyrrole, pyrazole, imidazole, triazole, and tetrazole, calculated by the semiempirical quantum-chemical AM1 method. We have found the linear dependences of the ionization potential, the dipole moment, and the acidity on the -electron excess, and also the dependence of the ionization potential on the enthalpy of formation of the studied azoles.

Organomercury Compounds in Organic Synthesis

Organomercurials have been known since 1850 and many synthetic routes to these compounds presently exist. The ability of these compounds to accommodate a wide variety of functional groups and to tolerate quite diverse reaction conditions makes them attractive as synthetic intermediates. While the solvomercuration-demercuration and divalent carbon transfer reactions remain the most widely used of the organomercurial reactions, a number of new synthetic procedures employing organomercurials have been developed in recent years. Many of these involve transmetallation reactions with palladium salts.

Synthesis of Glycosylphosphine Oxides and Related Compounds

The benzyl-protected glycosyl acetates 1 , 6 , 11 , and 15 react with MeOPPh₂ under catalysis by TMSOTf to yield diastereoselectively the glycosylphosphine oxides 2 , 3 , 8 , 12 , 13 , and 16 , with a strong preference for the 1,2-cis-configurated anomers. Hydrogenolysis of the major products gave the crystalline, unprotected phosphine oxides 4 , 9 , 14 , and 17 , of which 4 was transformed in to the acetate 5 , and 9 into the benzoate 10 . The benzylated phosphine oxides 4 , 8 , 12 , and 16 were reduced with Cl₃SiH in the presence of a tertiary amine to form the phosphines 18 , 21 , 24 , and 26 , which were transformed into the phosphine sulfides 19 , 22 , 25 , and 27 . Moreover, 18 and 21 , were characterized as the borane adducts 20 , and 23 . The structure of the (arabinofuranosyl)phosphine oxide 12 , the corresponding sulfide 25 , and of the borane complex 20 were established by X-ray analysis. According to NMR spectroscopy, the equatorial pyranosylphosphine oxide 8 , the sulfide 22 , and the borane complex 23 adopt a ⁴C₁ conformation. The axial phosphine oxide 2 is a flattened ⁴C₁, the sulfide 19 exists as a B_2,5, and the borane complex 20 is a flattened ⁴C₁ in the solid sate and a B_2,5 in solution. Thus, the conformational behavior of these α-D -glucopyranose derivatives reflects the steric requirement of the P-substituents.     

Synthesis of Fused Isolated Azoles and N-Heteroaryl Derivatives Based on 2-Methyl-3,4-dihydrothieno[3,4-d]pyrimidin-5-amine

In this work, we report the synthesis and characterization of new compounds derived from thieno[d]pyrimidines. The formation of isolated and fused thieno[d]pyrimidine derivatives was achieved via reacting 5-amino-(2-methyl)thieno[3,4-d]pyrimidin-4(3H)-one (3) with some selected reagents. The starting compound (2) was prepared in a quantitative yield using a modified procedure by conversion of the cyano group in 1 to the amide via hydrolysis using concentrated H₂SO₄. Methylthieno[3,4-d]pyrimidin-5-yl (8, 9, and 18), 3-phenylthieno[3,4-e][1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-c]pyrimidines (11–15) and tetrazolo[1,5-c]thieno[3,4-e]pyrimidine (16) have been synthesized in excellent isolated yield. The interaction of N-acetyl derivative 19 with benzaldehyde and/or some nitroso compounds afforded the chalcones and Schiff's bases derivatives 20 and 26a and c respectively. The latter compounds were used as key intermediates in the synthesis of N-acetylpyrazol-3-yl (21a and 21b), 6-phenylpyrimidine-2-(one)thione (22a and b), pyrazolo-1-carbothioamide (25), and thiazolidinone andβ β-lactam derivatives 28a and 28c and 30a and 30c respectively. The structures of these compounds were established by elemental analysis, infrared (IR), mass spectrometry (MS), and NMR spectral analysis.

Unusual Chemoselective RhII‐Catalysed Transformations of α‐Diazocarbonyl Piperidine Cores

The reactivity of various α‐diazocarbonyl piperidine scaffolds, characterised by an increased molecular complexity, was tested with various Rh^II catalysts. The structure of the starting reagent is of relevance to the synthetic results. An unexpected dimerisation took place, starting from the simple piperidine scaffold, to give the hexahydrotetrazine ring system. Products derived from a nitrogen ylide intermediate or aromatic substitution (1,3,4,5‐tetrahydro‐2,5‐methanobenzo[c]azepine and 1,2,3,3a‐tetrahydrocyclopenta[de]isoquinolin‐4(5 H)‐one rings, respectively) were obtained from tetrahydroisoquinoline derivatives. The chemoselectivity of the reaction could be controlled by the choice of starting reagent, Rh^II catalyst and the reaction conditions. Finally, it was found that the azepino heterocycle could coordinate to the catalyst to give new Rh^II complexes.
