2-[3-(Trifluoromethyl)phenyl]furo[3,2-b]pyrroles: synthesis and reactions

The synthesis and reactions of methyl 2-[3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-4H-furo[3,2-b]pyrrole-5-carboxylate (1a) are described. Upon reaction with methyl iodide, benzyl chloride, or acetic anhydride, this compound gave N-substituted products 1b-d. By hydrolysis of compounds 1a-c, the corresponding acids 2a-c were formed, or by reaction with hydrazine-hydrate, the corresponding carbohydrazides 3a-c were formed. By heating 2-[3-(trifluoromethyl)phenly]-4H-furo[3,2-b]pyrrole-5-carboxylic acid (2a) in acetic anhydride, 4-acetyl-2-[3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]furo[3,2-b]pyrrole (4) was formed. By hydrolysis of 4, 2-[3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-4H-furo[3,2-b]pyrrole (5a) was formed, and reactions with methyl iodide or benzyl chloride gave N-substituted products 5b-c. The reaction of 4 with dimethyl butynedioate gave substituted benzo[b]furan 6. Compound 3a reacted with triethyl orthoesters giving 7a-c, which afforded with phosphorus (V) sulphide the corresponding thiones 8a-c. The thiones 8a-c reacted with hydrazine hydrate to form hydrazine derivatives 9a-c. The reaction of triethyl orthoformiate with compounds 9a-c led to furo[2′,3′: 4,5]pyrrolo[1,2-d][1,2,4]triazolo[3,4-f][1,2,4]triazines 10a-c. Hydrazones 11a-c were formed from 3a-c and 5-[3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]furan-2-carboxaldehyde. The effect of microwave irradiation on some condensation reactions was compared with “classical” conditions. The results showed that microwave irradiation shortens the reaction time while affording comparable yields.

Abstract

Cyanothioacetamide (1) reacted with α- and β-naphthaldehyde 2a,b to afford the corresponding 3-naphthyl-2-thiocarboxamidopropenonitriles 3a,b. Compounds 3a,b structures could be elucidated via their reactions with acrylonitrile, ethyl acrylate (4a,b). N-arylmaleimides 6a-c and ethyl acetoacetate (8). The isolated products could be represented as the thiopyran, thiopyranopyrrolidine and pyridinethione derivatives 5a-d, 7a-f and 9a,b respectively. Pyridinethiones 9a,b had been used as the starting materials in the present study in addition to the next ones to synthesize several new thienopyridines, pyridothienotriazine and pyridothienopyrimidines 12a-f, 15a,b, 16b, 17–19a,b respectively through their reactions with the corresponding reagents.

Photochemical behaviour of Schiff base liquid crystals based on isoxazole and isoxazoline ring. A kinetic approach

ABSTRACT

The kinetic study on the hydrolysis of Schiff bases (SBs) 1a-c and 2a-c induced by UV-vis was undertaken as a complementary study of the stability in solution and in bulk of the SBs. Solutions in chloroform were exposed to UV-vis and acquisition data occurred for 1a-c and for 2a-c in 21°C, 30 °C, 35°C and 40°C. Kinetic profile for 1a-c and 2a-c displayed the similar photochemical behaviour in that four temperature values. At 21°C, two kinetic regimes were observed where the decomposition of SBs is faster at the initial stage, with no linear plot of absorbance vs time, and after the kinetic profile obeyed a linear behaviour. A mathematical treatment of the experimental data was applied, which allowed associating the initial stage data with a second-order reaction, and the final stage of the hydrolysis with a first-order reaction. The mechanism of photochemical hydrolysis of SBs 1a and 2a was addressed. It was composed of three parts, the excitation, then the isomerisation and activation processes of tetrahedral intermediate and, the last process, a collapse of the intermediate to the yielded products of the hydrolysis aldehydes and amines which were detected by their UV-vis spectrum.     

Organophosphorus chemistry,XII. Reaction of furil with alkyl phosphites and ylide-phosphoranes

Summary The reaction of furil (1) with trialkyl phosphites2 yielded caged phosphorane derivatives of types3a-c. Dry hydrogen chloride gas converted3a-c into the respectivea-hydroxyvinyl-phosphates8a-c which are equally produced by reacting furil with the appropriate dialkyl phosphite7. The reaction of furil with ylide-phosphoranes10 proceeded according to the Wittig reaction mechanism to give the respective ethylenes11a-c. The new compounds have been characterized by their spectroscopic data (IR, PMR,³¹P-NMR, MS) and elementary analyses.Dedicated to Prof. M. Sidky on the occasion of his 60th birthday
