Studies on Phosphonium Ylides XXV: The Behavior of Active Phosphacumulene and Stabilized Alkylidenephosphoranes Towards 5-(4H)-Oxazolones

The reaction of 2-phenyl-5-(4H)-oxazolone 1 and its 4-benzylidene derivative 2 with oxovinylidenetriphenylphosphorane 3 afforded 2-phenylfuro [3,2-d] [1,3]oxazol-5-(6H)-one 6 and 2,7-diphenyl-5H-pyrano[3,2-d][1,3]oxazol-5-one 7 along with triphenylphosphine. Alternatively, when 2-phenyl-5-(4H)-oxazolone 1 reacts with phosphorus ylides 4a–f the corresponding new phosphorane, the cyclic and/or the olefinic adducts were obtained. Moreover, oxazolone reacts with N-(triphenylphosphoranylidene)aniline 5 to give the new imino product 14 together with triphenylphosphine oxide. Possible reaction mechanisms are considered and the structural assignments are based on analytical and spectroscopic results. Biological evaluations of the new products are also studied.     

Transformation of 4-(1-dimethylaminoethylidene)-2-phenyl-5(4H)-oxazolone into methyl 2-benzoylamino-3-oxobutanoate. The synthesis of 1-substituted 4-benzoylamino-3-methyl-5(2H)-pyrazolones

Methyl 2-benzoylamino-3-oxobutanoate ( 3 ) was prepared from hippuric acid (1) which was converted with N,N-dimethylacetamide and phosphorus oxychloride into 4-(1-dimethylaminoethylidene)-2-phenyl-5(4H)-oxazolone ( 2 ) followed by hydrolysis with hydrochloric acid in methanol. Compound 3 was treated with hydrazines 4 to give 4-benzoylamino-3-methyl-1H-pyrazol-5(2H)-one ( 6a ) and its 1-substituted derivatives 6b-j . The corresponding hydrazones 5f, i, j were isolated as intermediates.     

Bildung von 5,6-Dihydro-1,3(4H)-thiazin-4-carbonsäure-estern aus 4-Allyl-1,3-thiazol-5(4H)-onen

Formation of Methyl 5,6-Dihydro-l, 3(4H)-thiazine-4-carboxyiates from 4-Allyl-l, 3-thiazol-5(4H)-ones . The reaction of N-[1-(N, N-dimethylthiocarbamoyl)-1-methyl-3-butenyl]benzamid ( 1 ) with HCl or TsOH in MeCN or toluene yields a mixture of 4-allyl-4-methyl-2-phenyl-1,3-thiazol-5(4H)-one ( 5a ) and allyl 4-methyl-2-phenyl-1,3-thiazol-2-yl sulfide ( 11 ; Scheme 3). Most probably, the corresponding 1,3-oxazol-5(4H)-thiones B are intermediates in this reaction. With HCl in MeOH, 1 is transformed into methyl 5,6-dihydro-4,6-dimethyl-2-phenyl-1,3(4H)-thiazine-4-carboxylate ( 12a ). The same product 12a is formed on treatment of the 1,3-thiazol-5(4H)-one 5a with HCl in MeOH (Scheme 4). It is shown that the latter reaction type is common for 4-allyl-substituted 1,3-thiazol-5(4H)-ones.

N-(1,3-Thiazol-5(4H)-yliden)amine aus 1,3-dipolaren Cycloadditionen von Aziden mit 1,3-Thiazol-5(4H)-thionen

N-(1,3-Thiazol-5(4H)-ylidene)amines via 1,3-Dipolar Cycloaddition of Azides and 1,3-Thiazol-5(4H)-thiones Organic azides 5 and 4,4-dimethyl-2-phenyl-1,3-thiazol-5(4H)-thione ( 2 ) in toluene at 90° react to give the corresponding N-(1,3-thiazol-5(4H)-ylidene)amines (= 1,3-thiazol-5(4H)-imines) 6 in good yield (Table). A reaction mechanism for the formation of these scarcely investigated thiazole derivatives is formulated in Scheme 3: 1,3-Dipolar azide cycloaddition onto the C?S group of 2 leads to the 1:1 adduct C . Successive elimination of N₂ and S yields 6 , probably via an intermediate thiaziridine E .     

Flash Pyrolysis of 4-Arylmethylidene-oxazolones and -isoxazolones. A Versatile Synthesis of Arylacetylenes. Preliminary communication

Flash pyrolysis of 4-benzylidene-2-phenyl-5(4H)-oxazolone ( 1 ) yields carbonmonoxide, benzene, biphenyl, diphenylacetonitrile, and 2,3-diphenylsuccinonitrile; N-benzoylphenylketenimine is implicated as the primary intermediate. The flash pyrolysis of 4-arylmethylidene-3-methyl-5(4H)-isoxazolones ( 3 ) yields carbon dioxide, acetonitrile, and phenylacetylenes substituted by alkoxy, chloro, dimethylamino, and hydroxy groups, in yields of 45–95%. Arylmethylidenecarbenes are implicated as intermediates.     

Reactions of 3-hydrazino-5,6-diphenyl-1,2,4-triazine with 4-arylidene-2-phenyl-5(4H)-oxazolones and 4-benzylidene-3-methyl-5(4H)-isoxazolone

3-Hydrazino-5,6-diphenyl-1,2,4-triazine reacts with 4-arylidene-2-phenyl-5(4H)-oxazolones in toluene to give substituted acrylic acid hydrazides, and in glacial acetic acid to give substituted imidazolones. On the other hand the hydrazinotriazine reacts with 4-benzylidene-3-methyl-5(4H)-isoxazolone, probably via a 1,4 addition reaction followed by an elimination reaction, to give benzaldehyde 5,6-diphenyl-1,2,4-triazin-3-ylhydrazone and 3-methyl-5(4H)-isoxazolone.     

The synthesis of 3-[(dimethylamino)(2-phenyl-5-oxo-2-oxazolinyl-idene-4)methyl]imidazo[1,2-x]azines and related compounds,intermediates in the formation of azaaplysinopsin derivatives

4-(2-Bromo-1-dimethylaminoethylidene)-2-phenyl-5(4H)-oxazolone ( 5 ) reacts with N,N-dimethyl-N'-heteroarylformamidines 7 to form imidazoazine derivatives 9 with the oxazolone ring connected through a conjugated double bond to the fused imidazole system at position 3. Compounds 9 were transformed with sodium methoxide in methanol into 2-benzoylamino-3-dimethylamino-3-imidazoazinylpropenoates 10 , while by treatment with hydrochloric acid in methanol, 3-(benzoylaminoacetyl)imidazoazines 12 were formed. The synthesis of compounds 9 represents a facile route to intermediates in the synthesis of azaaplysinopsin and related systems.

Reactions of N,N-Disubstituted 5-Arylmethylidene-2-amino-thiazol-4(5H)-ones with CH Acids

Summary.  N,N-Disubstituted 5-arylmethylidene-2-aminothiazol-4(5H)-ones reacted with diethyl malonate, ethyl benzoylacetate, acetylacetone, or cyclopentadiene in refluxing toluene and in presence of powdered sodium to give the respective 5-arylmethylidene-2′-amino-2,5′-bithiazolylidene-4,4′-dione derivatives in moderate yields. 5-Benzylidene-2-morpholin-4-yl-2-thiazol-4(5H)-one reacted with malononitrile in toluene and in presence of powdered sodium under mild conditions to afford the 1:1 adduct, benzylmalononitrile, and 2-morpholin-4-yl-2-thiazol-4(5H)-one. However, similar treatment of 5-(4-methoxyphenylmethylidene)-2-morpholin-4-yl-2-thiazol-4(5H)-one with malononitrile yielded the 2,5′-bithiazolylidene-4,4′-dione derivative together with 4-methoxyphenylmethylidene malononitrile. Treatment of 5-benzylidene- and 5-(4-methoxyphenylmethylidene)-2-morpholin-4-yl-2-thiazol-4(5H)-ones with 3-phenyl-4-oxo-2-thioxo-1,3-thiazolidine in refluxing toluene and in presence of powdered sodium produced 5-arylmethylidene-3-phenyl-4-oxo-2-thioxo-1,3-thiazolidines in good yields. The structures of all products were deduced from microanalytical and spectroscopic data, mechanistic details are discussed. Corresponding author.

A facile and novel synthesis of 5-phenylimidazo[4,5-c][1,8]naphthyridin-4(5H)-ones

A convenient and regioselective synthesis of a new heterocycle, 5-phenyl-1H or 3H-imidazo[4,5-c][1,8]-naphthyridin-4(5H)-one 1-a or 1-b , is described. Methyl 2-anilinonicotinate 15 was transformed into the valuable intermediate, N-phenyl-3-azaisatoic anhydride 4 using trichloromethyl chloroformate (TCF). Treatment of 4 with the anion of ethyl nitroacetate gave 4-hydroxy-3-nitro-1-phenyl-1,8-naphthyridin-4(5H)-one 3 . Compound 3 was chlorinated, aminated, reduced, and cyclized to afford 5-phenylimidazo[4,5-c][1,8]naphthyridin-4(5H)-one 1 . Regioselective substitution at the 1 or 3-position in the imidazole moiety of 1 was achieved by minor changes of the above scheme.     

Synthesis and selected transformations of 1-(5-methyl-1-aryl-1H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)ethanones and 1-[4-(4-R-5-methyl-1H-1,2,3-triazol-1-yl)phenyl]ethanones

By cycloaddition of arylazides to acetylacetone are obtained derivatives of 1,2,3-triazole. In the reaction of 1-[5-methyl-1-(R-phenyl)-1H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl] ethanones (IIa–IIe) and 1-[4-(4-R-5-methyl-1H-1,2,3-triazol-1-yl)phenyl] ethanones (VIIa-VIIe) with isatin are obtained 2-[1-(R-phenyl)-5-methyl-1H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl]-4-quinolinecarboxylic acids (IIIa–IIIe) and 2-[4-(4-R-5-methyl-1H-1,2,3-triazol-1-yl)phenyl] -4-quinolinecarboxylic acids (IXa, IXb), respectively. We found that 1-[5-methyl-1-(R-phenyl)-1H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl] ethanones (IIa–IIe) readily transform into [5-methyl-1-(R-phenyl)-1H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl] acetic acids (IVa–IVc) by the method of Wilgerodt-Kindler. The (5-methyl-1-phenyl-1H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)acetic acid reacts with 5-phenyl-4-amino-4H-1,2,4-triazol-3-thiol affording 6-[(5-methyl-1-phenyl-1H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl) methyl]-3-phenyl[1,2,4] triazolo[3,4-b] [1,3,4] thiadiazole (VI).

Synthesis of novel 6-(substituted amino)-4-(4-ethoxyphenyl)-1-phenyl-2(1H)-pyridinones via azo coupling

Abstract  

6-(Substituted amino)-4-(4-ethoxyphenyl)-1-phenyl-2(1H)-pyridinones were prepared from β-aryl glutaconic acid, which, on fusion with aniline, results in 4-(4-ethoxyphenyl)-1-phenylpyridine-2,6(1H,5H)-dione. This, on further treatment with phosphorus oxychloride gave 6-chloro-4-(4-ethoxyphenyl)-1-phenyl-2(1H)-pyridinone, and further treatment with secondary amines yielded 6-(substituted amino)-4-(4-ethoxyphenyl)-1-phenyl-2(1H)-pyridinones. These were subjected to azo coupling with different aryldiazonium chlorides furnishing two isomers, which were separated by column chromatography. All compounds were characterized by elemental analysis, and use of IR and NMR spectral data, and were evaluated for antimicrobial activity.

Study of the effect of the nature of the side chain in esters of α-amino acids on the diastereoselectivity of condensation with 5(4H)-oxazolone in the synthesis of dipeptides with N-terminal N-acetylphenylalanine

Conditions for fast racemization of 5(4H)-oxazolones prepared from N-acylphenylalanine were found. Reactions of 4-benzyl-2-methyl-5(4H)-oxazolone with amino acid esters proceed diastereoselectively to give predominantly dipeptides comprising R-phenylalanine. The diastereoselectivity increases with complication of the structure of the side chain in the amino acid esters.     

Direct diastereoselective introduction of l-menthol residue into 1,2,4-triazin-5(4H)-one

The reaction of 3-phenyl-1,2,4-triazin-5(4H)-one (1) with l-menthol in the presence of aliphatic acid anhydrides results in (6S)- and (6R)-1-acyl-6-(l-menth-3-yl)-1,6-dyhydro-3-phenyl-1,2,4-triazin-5(4H)-ones. The reaction is diastereoselective with predominant formation of (6S)-isomers. The reaction diastereoselectivity increases with enhancement of the steric hindrance in the vicinity of the reaction center of the azine.
