2-Methylthio-4H-4-chromenone which is key intermediate for the synthesis of 2-methylsulfonyl-4H-4-chromenone, equivalent to 2-halo-4H-4-chromenone, was very easily and efficiently synthesized from 2'-hydroxyacetophenone analogues via ketene dithioacetal in the one-pot reaction.     

Reaction of N-Nitro-benzotriazole with Nucleophiles

N-Nitro-benzotriazole 1 reacts with various C-nucleophiles 2 in tetrahydrofuran at room temperature to afford o-nitramidophenylazo-compounds 3a–f and o-nitramidophenyl hydrazones 3g–l, respectively. Reaction of 1 with sodium azide in aqueous acetonitrile gives a reactive 2-azidophenylnitramide intermediate 4 which is trapped by Cu-catalyzed 1,3-dipolar cycloadition with phenyl acetylene to afford 1-o-nitramidophenyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3-triazole 5. Reaction of 1 with trimethylsilylcyanide affords 3-amino-benzo[e][1,2,4]triazine 6.     

Reaction of 2-trifluoromethyl-4H-3,1-benzoxazin-4-one derivatives with carboethoxymethylenetriphenylphosphorane

Treatment of a series of 2-trifluoromethyl-4H-3,1-benzoxazin-4-one derivatives 1 with carboethoxymethyl-enetriphenylphosphorane 2 yielded the phosphoranes 3 in boiling toluene solution. Thermolysis of these phosphoranes 3 gave esters 6.     

2-Carbethoxymethyl-4H-3,1-benzoxazin-4-one. 4. Reaction with anilines

In a solution of DMF, 2-carbethoxymethyl-4H-3,1-benzoxazin-4-one reacts with primarily aromatic amines basically with the formation of the corresponding 2-carbethoxymetlzyl-3-arylquinazolin-4(3H)-ones.

Reaction of Haloacrylic Acids with Phosphorus Nucleophiles

-Chloroacrylic acid reacts with triphenylphosphine to give (E)-(2-carboxyvinyl)triphenylphosphonium chloride. The same reaction with -halomethacrylic acids yields, depending on the temperature, either (2-carboxypropenyl)triphenylphosphonium halides or their isomeric (2-carboxyallyl)triphenylphosphonium halides. The possibility of unusual isomerization of the first compounds to the latter is shown. Synthesis of 1,2-(diphenylphosphinoyl)ethane from -chloroacrylic acid is carried out.

Reaction of 2-alkoxy-2-methylthio-5,6-dihydro-4H-1,3-thiazines with phenoxyacetyl chloride

The reaction of 4-alkoxytetrahydro-1, 3-thiazine-2-thiones with methyl iodide and subsequent treatment of the resultant S-alkylation products by suitable sodium alcoholates yielded 4-alkoxy-2-methylthio-S, 6-dihydro-4H-1, 3-thiazines, which upon reaction with phenoxyacetyl chloride in the presence of triethylamine was stereospecifically converted into 4-alkoxy-6-methylthio-7-phenoxvcephams.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 4, pp. 557–560, April, 1996.

Reaction of selenobenzophenones with olefins. Formation of 1H-2-benzoselenopyrans. Reaction of 1H-2-benzoselenopyrans with diazoalkanes

Selenobenzophenone reacts as a diene with dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate (DMAD) to lead to dimethyl 1H-1-diphenylmethyl-1-phenyl-2-benzoselenopyran-3,4-dicarboxylate (5c) in moderate yield; the initial [4 + 2] cycloaddition is followed by the addition of another 1 mol equiv of selenobenzophenone. The reaction might proceed through carbene insertion of the primary cycloadduct. On the other hand, 4,4'-dimethoxyselenobenzophenone combines as a diene with DMAD furnishing dimethyl 1H-1-p-methoxyphenyl-6-methoxy-2-benzoselenopyran-3,4-dicarboxylate (4a). The reaction of benzoselenopyran derivative (4) with diaryldiazomethanes afforded another type of carbene insertion product.     

4-Hydroxy-2-quinolones. 112. Reaction of 2-ethoxycarbonylmethyl-4H-3,1-benzoxazin-4-one with active methylene compounds

The reaction of 2-ethoxycarbonylmethyl-4H-3,1-benzoxazin-4-one with malononitrile in dry pyridine leads to 1-hydroxy-3,6-dioxo-4,6-dihydro-3H-pyrimido[1,2-a]quinoline-5-carbonitrile. Acetoacetic and cyanoacetic esters under analogous conditions form anilides of 4-hydroxy-2-oxo-1,2-dihydroquinoline-3-carboxylic acid while diethyl malonate gives N,N′-di-2-carboxyanilides of malonic acid. __________ Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 1, pp. 75–79, January, 2007.     

Syntheses and photophysical properties of fluorescent 2-aryl-3-hydroxy-4-chromenones

The particle detectors proposed for the Super-conducting Super Collider contain polystyrene scintillation fibers as a component. Scintillation fluors soluble in styrene are required which have improved light output and response time. New 2-aryl-3-hydroxy-4-chromenones related to 3-hydroxyflavone were prepared which displayed these improved properties. Improved solvent systems for chromenone formation were essential in the synthesis of two of the chromenones. One chromenone produced fluorescence emission at 560 nm with a quantum yield of 0.53 and a scintillation decay time of 5 nsec.     

Reaction of Quinoline-5,8-Diones with Selected Charged Phosphorus Nucleophiles

Abstract

The redox reactivity of the two quinoline-5,8-dione derivatives—2-methyl-5,8-dioxo-5,8-dihydroquinoline-7-amine (2a) and N-(2-methyl-5,8-dioxo-5,8-dihydroquinolin-7-yl)acet-amide (2b)—has been demonstrated by their reaction with negatively charged three-coordinated phosphorus nucleophiles, such as R₂P-YM (1a–d, Y = O or lone pair; R = Ph, tBu, OCH₂CMe₂CH₂O, or EtO; M = Li or Na). 1a–d participated in single-electron transfer (SET) to 2a and 2b, generating the radical anions 3 and 4, respectively, together with short-lived phosphorus-centered radical intermediates of type R₂P(= Y)· (5). The radicals 5 dimerize to give R₂P(Y)–(Y)PR₂ (6). Both 3 and 4 are remarkably persistent with half-lives of more than 1 month in THF (tetrahydrofuran) at 300 K.     

Reaction of a 2H-1,2,3-Diazaphosphole with Ethane-1,2-Dithiol

Abstract

Reaction of 2-acetyl-5-methyl-2H-1,2,3-diazaphosphole with ethane-1,2-dithiol at ?30°C leads to the formation of 2-acetyl-3-(β-mercaptoethylthio)-5-methyl-1,2,3-diaza-phospholene. On heating, this product forms 2-(β-mercaptoethylthio)-1,3,2-dithia-phospholane, 1,2-bis(1,3,2-dithiaphospholanyl)-dithioethane, and N-acetyl-N′-isopropilidene-hydrazine.

A method is proposed for the synthesis of 2-(4-dialkylaminophenyl)-2,3-dihydro-4H-1,3-benzoxazin-4-ones and diindolylcyaninemethanes by reaction of 4H-1,3-benzoxazin-4-onium salts with N,N-dialkylanilines and indole.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 1, pp. 47–50, January, 1977.     

Rhodium-catalyzed Asymmetric Ring Opening Reaction of Oxabenzo-norbornadiene with Substituted Phenolic Nucleophiles

Among the myriad of molecular architectures present in pharmacological agents, certain structures emerge with a higher frequency than others. Among these “privileged structures” is the hydronaphthalene skeleton which can be found in a wide range of comp…     

The Reaction of 1,2:3,4-Diepoxy-2,3-dimethylbutane with Nucleophiles

To find out whether the 1,4-addition to 1,2:3,4-diepoxides, which so far has been observed only once, is of a more general character, we investigated the reaction of a variety of O-, C-, N-, and S-nucleophiles with the model compound 1,2:3,4-diepoxy-2,3-dimethylbutane (Scheme 4). In several cases, 1,4-addition products could, indeed, be observed besides the expected 1,2-adducts (Table).     

The Reaction of Diethylthiophosphinyl Iodide,Et2P(S)I,with Nucleophiles

The compound Me₂AsSI can exist in two different forms, either as dimethylarsinosulfenyl iodide [or (iodothio)dimethylarsane)], Me₂As–S–I ( A ), or as dimethylthioarsinyl iodide (or dimethylarsinothioic iodide), Me₂As(S)–I ( B ). To confirm that the structure of the product of the reaction between Bunsen's cacodyl disulfide Me₂As(S)–S–AsMe₂ and iodine is A and not B , the known diethylthiophosphinyl iodide (or diethylphosphinothioic iodide), Et₂P(S)–I ( 2 ) was prepared and its hydrolytic stability and reactivity towards a variety of nitrogen, phosphorus(III), arsenic(III), oxygen, and sulfur(II) nucleophiles were studied. The results indicated that only a few reactions of 2 resembled those of A , thus strengthening the proposal that the reaction of Bunsen's cacodyl disulfide with iodine produced A and not B . A series of ³¹P NMR chemical shifts of diethylthiophosphinyl moiety is also reported. Et₂P(S)–DMAP, synthesized and isolated during the presented study, is the ethyl analogue of Me₂P(S)–DMAP, previously described as an important molecule. In our case, Et₂P(S)–DMAP was found to be a good intermediate for the synthesis of phosphoryl or thiophosphoryl derivatives since it was more reactive than 2 towards nucleophiles.
