The Reaction of Phosphonium Ylids with o-Quinones and Triketones

Abstract

The reaction of 1,2-benzo [a] phenazine-8, 9-dione 1 and/or 1,2,3-indantrione 2, with phosphonium ylides has been studied. When 1 was reacted with two molar amounts of methoxy-(3a) and/or ethoxycarbonylmethylenetriphenylphosphorane (3b), in THF, at the reflux temp, for 3 hrs, dimethyl (4a) and/or diethyl 1,2-dihydrobenzo a furo [3,2-h] phenazine-1,2-dicarboxylate (4b), along with triphenylphosphine oxide and triphenylphosphine were obtained. On the other hand, reaction of equimolar amounts of ylides 3 with the red trione 2 in THF at room temp., afforded colourless crys tals of 2′,4′-dihydroxyspiro [indan-2,3′ (2′H)-indeno [1,2-b] pyran]-1,3,5′(4′H)-trione diacetate (5a) or dipropionate (5b), together with triphenylphosphine oxide. Formation of 6-membered dihydro aromatic ring like 5, is considered as a new reaction of phos phoranes. The structure of the new compounds 4 and 5 was confirmed and the reaction mechanisms are discussed.

Heterobicycles of δ-lactam fused with imidazolidine (4, 7), hexahydropyrimidine (5, 8), or hexahydro-1, 3-diazepine (6, 9) were synthesized by the reaction of heterocyclic ketene aminals 1, 2 or 3 with ester of α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acids.     

The Reaction of Diethanolamine with 2-Chloronitrobenzene-A Reinvestigation

In a report on the reaction of 2-chloronitrobenzene (1) with diethanolamine (2), Meltsner et al ¹ claim that the expected S_NAr product, N-(2-nitrophenyl)diethanolamine (3), is not formed; rather that the products are 2,2′-dichloroazobenzene (4), 2-nitrophenol (5), 2-chloroaniline (6) and 4-(2-aminophenyl)morpholine (7). Similar products in which the nitro function is reduced are also reported² for the corresponding reaction with ethanolamine. In this laboratory, in an attempted preparation of 2,2′-dichloroazobenzene (4) for reference purposes in photochemical studies on the antineoplastic agent 5-(3-azido-4-chlorophenyl)-6-ethyl-pyrimidin-2,4-diamine³, the expected S_NAr product (3) was obtained along with other products.     

Synthesis of γ-Lactone of 1R-CIS 2,2-Dimethyl-3-(2,2,2-tribromo-1-hydroxyethyl)cyclopropane Carboxylic Acid,A Key Intermediate for Deltamethrin,From (+)-3-Carene

1R-cis-2,2-Dimethyl-3-(2,2-dibromovinyl)cyclopropane carboxylic acid¹ (1), the acid moiety of the highly potent photostable pyrethroid deltamethrin (2) has been obtained either by a Wittig reaction on 1R-cis-caronaldehyde ester (3) employing 1, 1-dibromomethylenetriphenylphosphorane or from the bicyclic tribromo-lactone^2,3 (4) by reaction with zinc and acetic acid. Lactone (4) is thus an important intermediate in the deltamethrin synthesis.     

The Reaction of N-Phenyliminoketenylidenetriphenyl-phosphorane with α,β-Unsaturated Carbonyl Compounds. Synthesis of New Pyran Derivatives

Abstract

The reaction of N-phenyliminoketenylidenetriphenylphosphorane [a] (1), with 2-benzylidene-1, 3-indandione (2), 1,2-diphenyl-3,4-pyrazolidenedione (3)and/or 5-benzylidene barbituric acid (4) has been investigated. When ylide 1 was allowed to react with compounds 2, 3 or 4 in THF at ambient temp. the corresponding new pyrano-phosphoranylidenes 5, 6 or 7 were obtained. The elemental microanalyses, IR, ¹H NMR, ³¹P NMR and MS data agree with the structure of the cyclic iminophosphoranes by [4+2]-cycloaddition and exclude 4-membered ring structure by [2+2]-cycloaddition. When the Wittig reaction was carried on the pyrano-phosphoranes 5, 6 or 7 using p-nitrobenzaldehyde, the exocyclic olefins together with triphenylphosphine oxide were isolated.     

Chemical Modification of Kanamycin A. II. Nucleophilic Displacement Reactions of Kanamycin-A-4″-sulfonates

Abstract

Reactions of 2′,3′,4′,2″,6″-penta-O-acetyl-tetra-N-tert-butyloxycarbonyl-kanamycin-A-4″-brosylate (4b) or-4″-triflate (4c) with acetate, thiolacetate, azide, and fluoride, respectively, result in the formation of the corresponding derivatives of 4″-epi-kanamycin A (5a-d). While 4b invariably forms an elimination byproduct (9), the only side—reaction of 4c consists in a neighboring group attack with formation of a 3″-epi-4″-cyclic urethane (7). Removal of the protecting groups yields 4″-epi-(6a), 4″-thio-4″-epi-(6b), 4″-deoxy-4″-fluoro-4″-epi-(6d), 4″-azido-4″-deoxy-4″-epi-(6c), and after hydrogenation of the latter, 4″-amino-4″-deoxy-4″-epi-kanamycin A (6f).

Methyl 2,6-di-O-acetyl-3-amino-3-N-tert-butyloxycarbonyl-3-deoxy-4-O-triflyl-β-D-glucopyranoside (1b) served as a model to anticipate preparation, handling, and reactivity of 4c.     

Synthesis and Some Reactions of 4-Aroyl-3-Chloro-6-p-Tolylpyridazines

4-Aroyl-3-chloro-6-p-tolylpyridazines (3a &b) were prepared by the action of phosphorous oxychloride on (2).

Studies on the Cyclisation of 4-[2′-Cyclohexenyl]-3-hydroxy[1]benzopyran-2-one

The bicyclic coumarin derivative-1, 3 propano-2-bromo-1,2-dihydro-3H-pyrano [2, 3-c] [1]benzo-pyran-5-one (8) was synthesised by a sequence of reaction viz. acetylation of 4-[2′-cyclohexenyl] -3-hydroxy [1] benzopyran-2-one (4), addition of bromine to cyclohexenyl double bond and treating the resulting acetyldi-bromo derivative (7) with 4% alcoholic KOH. Benzofuro [2, 3-c] [1] -benzopyran-6-one (10) was synthesised from 4 via oxymercuration with mercuric acetate in methanol followed by dehydrogenative damercuration with Pd-C in refluxing diphenyl ether.     

Synthesis of the Four Configurational Isomers of N-Benzoyl-2, 3, 6-Trtdeoxy-3-C-Methyl-3-Amino-L-Hexose from the (2S, 3R)-Diol Obtained from α-Methylcinnamaldehyde by Fermentation with Baker'S Yeast

Abstract

The erythro and threo chiral C₅ methyl ketones (4) and (5), prepared from the (2S, 3R)-methyl diel (1b), were converted into the phenylsulfenimines (6) and (7), which, in turn, on reaction with allyl-magnesiutn bromide, yielded after acid hydrolysis and benzoylation, the diastereoisomeric C₈-N-aminodiol derivatives (9) and (11), with threo stereochemistry relative to positions 4 and 5. Ozonolysis of (9) and (11) yielded the l-arabino and l-xylo 3-O-methyl branched aminodeoxysugar derivatives (13) and (15), respectively. Using diallylzinc as the reagent, the diastereoisomeric erythro products (8) and (10) were obtained. The latter materials gave the l-ribo-and l-lyxo-(lL-vancosamine) derivatives (12) and (14) upon oxonolysis. The ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectra of the four isomeric aminodeoxysugar derivatives (12)—(15) were discussed.     

First Stereqselective Synthesis of Nitrophenyl 2-Deoxy- β-D-glycosides

α-Dithiophosphates of peracetylated 2-deoxyhexc-pyranoses, 1a, 1b and 2, uhich are easily prepared by addition of organic phosphorodithioic acids to glycais react smoothly with resin-bound 2- and 4-nitrophenoxides to give stereoselectively the respective nitrophenyl 2-deoxy-β-D-hexopyranosides (3, 4, 5 and 6) in high yields.

The cation 12 also reacts with methanol to afford the orthobenzoates 17 and 18.     

Synthesis of C-Glycosyl α-Glycines

Abstract

A scheme of asymmetric synthesis of C-glycosyl α-glycines is described. Reductive hydrolysis of 2-deoxy-3,5-di-O-p-toluoyl-β D-erythropentofuranose 1-cyanide (4) in the presence of N,N-diphenylethylenediamine gave the imidazolidine 5, which was converted to 2,5-anhydro-3-deoxy-4,6-di-O-p-toluoyl-β-D-allose (3)by acid hydrolysis. The aldehyde (3), chiralamine, benzoic acid and t-butyl isocyanide four component condensation afforded in good yield two diastereomeric adducts (6a and 6b), which were separated by column chromatography and deblocked to furnish 2-deoxy-β-D-erythropentofuranosyl R and S-glycines (1a) and (1b).

Abstract

Glycosylation of methyl 3-O-(2-acetamido-3, 6-di-O-benzyl-2-deoxy-β-D-glucopyranosyl)-2,4,6-tri-O-benzyl-β-D-galactopyranoside (2) with 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-α-D-galactopyranosyl bromide (1), catalyzed by mercuric cyanide, afforded a trisaccharide derivative, which was not separated, but directly O-deacetylated to give methyl 3-O-(2-acetamido-3,6-di-O-benzyl-2-deoxy-4-O-β-D-galactopyranosyl-β-D-giucopyranosyl)-2,4,6-tri-O-benzyl-β-D-galactopyranoside (8). Hydrogenolysls of the benzyl groups of 8 then furnished the title trisaccharide (9). A similar pflyccsylation of methyl 3-O-(2-acetamido-3-O-acetyl-2-deoxy-β-D-glucopyranosyl)-2,4,6-tri-O-benzyl- β-D-galactopyranoside (obtained by acetylation of 4, followed by hydrolysis of the benzylidene acetal group) with bromide 1 gave a tribenzyl trisaccharide, which, on catalytic hydrogenolysls, furnished the isomeric trisaccharide (12). Methylation of 4 and 2 with methyl iodide-silver oxide in 1:1 dichloro-methane-N, N-dimethylformamide gave the 3-O- and 4-O-monomethyl ethers (13) and (15), respectively. Hydrogenolysis of the benzyl groups of 13 and 15 then provided the title monomethylated disaechartdes (15) and (16), respectively. The structures of trisacchacides 9 and 12, and disaccharides 14 and 16 were all established by ¹³C MMR spectroscopy.
