Pyrimidones. 2. Synthesis and reactions of 2-chloropyrimidines

The treatment of 1-alkyl-5-aryl and 1-alkyl-4,5-diaryl-2-(1H)pyrimidones with phosphorus oxychloride and phosphorus pentachloride resulted in chlorination and dealkylation to furnish 2-chloro-5-aryl (or 4,5-diaryl)-pyrimidines. These chlorpyrimidines were reacted with a variety of nitrogen, oxygen, sulfur, and carbon nucleophiles to produce the corresponding 2-substituted pyrimidines. In the case of phenyllithium, attack occurred at the 4-position of the pyrimidine ring yielding 11 . Triazolopyrimidine 9 was synthesized via the treatment of 2d with hydrazine followed by reaction with triethyl orthoformate.     

Monomer-isomerization polymerization. XI. Monomer-isomerization copolymerizations of 2-butene with 2-pentene and 2-hexene with Ziegler-Natta catalyst

2-Pentene and 2-hexene were found to undergo monomer-isomerization copolymerizations with 2-butene by Al(C₂H₅)₃–VCl₃ and Al(C₂H₅)₃–TiCl₃ catalysts in the presence of nickel dimethylglyoxime or transition metal acetylacetonates to yield copolymers consisting of the respective 1-olefin units. For comparison, the copolymerizations of 1-pentene with 1-butene and 1-hexene with 1-butene by Al(C₂H₅)₃–VCl₃ catalyst were also attempted. The compositions of the copolymers obtained from these copolymerizations were determined by using the calibration curves between the compositions of the respective homopolymer mixtures and the values of D₇₆₆/D₁₃₈₀ in the infrared spectra. The monomer reactivity ratios for the monomer-isomerization copolymerizations of 2-butene (M₁) with 2-pentene and 2-hexene, in which the concentrations of both 1-olefins calculated from the observed isomer distribution were used as those in the monomer feed mixture, and for the ordinary copolymerizations of 1-butene (M₁) with 1-pentene and 1-hexene by Al(C₂H₅)₃-VCl₃ catalyst were determined as follows: 2-butene (M₁)/2-pentene (M₂): r₁ = 0.14, r₂ = 0.99; 1-butene (M₁)/1-pentene (M₂): r₁ = 0.30, r₂ = 0.74; 2-butene (M₁)/2-hexene (M₂): r₁ = 0.11, r₂ = 0.62; 1-butene (M₁)/1-hexene (M₂): r₁ = 0.13, r₂ = 0.90.

The monomers were synthesized by the piperidine catalyzed Knoevenagel condensation of oxy ring-substituted benzaldehydes and butyl cyanoacetate and characterized by CHN elemental analysis, IR, ¹H- and ¹³C-NMR. All the ethylenes were copolymerized with styrene (M₁) in solution with radical initiation (ABCN) at 70°C. The composition of the copolymers was calculated from nitrogen analysis, and the structures were analyzed by IR, ¹H and ¹³C-NMR, GPC, DSC, and TGA. The order of relative reactivity (1/r₁) for the monomers is 4-methoxy (6.56) > 3-methoxy (2.97) > 2-methoxy (2.72) > 4-butoxy (2.20) > 3-ethoxy (2.18) > 4-propoxy (2.15) > 4-hexyloxy (1.78) > 4-ethoxy (1.66) > 2-ethoxy (1.48) > 3-phenoxy (1.29). Decomposition of the copolymers in nitrogen occurred in two steps, first in the 200-500°C range with residue (0.8–3.6% wt.), which then decomposed in the 500–800°C range.     

Photochemical reactions of 7-aminocoumarins. 2. [2 + 2]-cycloadducts with styrene

The photocycloaddition of styrene to 4-methyl-7-aminocoumarin, 4-methyl-7-diethylaminocoumarin, 7-(N-morpholino) coumarin, 3-ethoxycarbonylmethyl-4-methyl-7-diethylaminocoumarin, and coumarin-102 (2,3,6,7-tetrahydro-9-methyl-1H, 5H,11H-[l]-benzopyrano[6,7,8-ij] quinolizin-11-one) was investigated. Adducts of regio- and stereospecific [2 + 2]-cycloaddition to the 3–4 bond were isolated. It was established by means of x-ray diffraction analysis that the phenyl group in the cycloadducts occupies the 1-endo position. The participation of the singlet excited states of the 7-aminocoumarin molecules in [2 + 2]-cycloaddition was demonstrated.See [1] for Communication 1.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 9, pp. 1176–1184, September, 1988.

Diels-Alder reactions between ethylene and octa-, 1$\text{H}$-hepta-, and 1H, 4H-hexa-fluorocyclohexa-1,3-diene gave, respectively, 1,2,3,4,5,5,6,6-octa-, 1,2,3,5,5,6,6-hepta-, and 2,3,5,5,6,6-hexa-fluorobicyclo[2, 2, 2]oct-2-ene, each characterised by oxidation to the corresponding polyfluorocyclohexane-1,4-dicarboxylic acid.     

Cyclization of Ph2Si(NHNHMe)2. I. Reaction with n-BuLi/Ph2SiCl2 and ring rearrangement

Reaction of Ph₂Si(NHNHMe)₂ ( 1 ) with n-BuLi and Ph₂SiCl₂ in 1 : 2 : 1 ratio afforded 54% of 1,2,4-triaza-1-methyl-4-methylamino-3,3, 5, 5-tetraphenyl-3,5-disilacylopentane ( 2 ). In the presence of a catalytic amount of n-BuLi, 2 is rearranged to two isomers, 1,2,4,5-tetraaza-1,4-dimethyl-3,3,6,6-tetraphenyl-3,6-disilacyclohexane ( 3 ) and 1,2,4,5-tetraaza-1,5-dimethyl-3,3,6,6-tetraphenyl-3,6-disilacyclohexane ( 4 ), with 3 as the major product. The crystal structure of 3 reveals a twist-boat conformation of the Si₂N₄ ring [a = 10.691(4) Å, b = 13.178(4) Å, c = 17.812(3) Å, β = 95.11(7)°; monoclinic, P2₁/n; Z = 4], in which each N(Me) N(H) unit contains one pyramidal (NH) and one planar (NMe) nitrogen.     

2-Polyfluoroalkylchromones. 8. 2-Trifluoromethyl- and 6-nitro-2-trifluoromethylchromones in reactions with amines

The reactions of 6-nitro-2-trifluoromethylchromone with benzylamine, ethanolamine, and aniline afforded 3-benzyl(2-hydroxyethyl,phenyl)amino-4,4,4-trifluoro-1-(2-hydroxy-5-nitrophenyl)but-2-en-1-ones, respectively, whereas the reactions with ethylenediamine and diethylenetriamine gave rise to 5-(2-hydroxy-5-nitrophenyl)-7-trifluoromethyl-2,3-dihydro-1H-1,4-diazepine and 5-(2-hydroxy-5-nitrophenyl)-7-trifluoromethyl-1,4,8-triazabicyclo[5.3.0]dec-4-ene, respectively. Morpholine added at the double bond of 2-trifluoromethyl- and 6-nitro-2-trifluoromethylchromones to form 2-morpholino-2-trifluoromethylchroman-4-one and its 6-nitro-substituted analog, respectively, whereas piperidine reacted only with 2-trifluoromethylchromone to yield 2-piperidino-2-trifluoromethylchroman-4-one.

The monomers were synthesized by the piperidine catalyzed Knoevenagel condensation of oxy ring-substituted benzaldehydes and propyl cyanoacetate and characterized by CHN elemental analysis, IR, ¹H- and ¹³C-NMR. All the ethylenes were copolymerized with styrene (M₁) in solution with radical initiation (ABCN) at 70°C. The composition of the copolymers was calculated from nitrogen analysis, and the structures were analyzed by IR, ¹H and ¹³C-NMR, GPC, DSC, and TGA. Decomposition of the copolymers in nitrogen occurred in two steps, first in the 200–500°C range with residue (1.2–3.6% wt.), which then decomposed in the 500–800°C range.     

4-Hydroxy-2-quinolones. 2. Simple synthesis of arboricine

1-Amino-2-hydrazinopyrimidin-N-ylides. Unusual tautomers of 1-aminopyrimidin-2-hydrazones

Summary 1-Amino-2-methylthiopyrimidinium iodides3 have been synthesized by reaction of 3-isothiocyanato-2-propeniminium perchlorates1 with hydrazines and subsequent methylation of the resulting 1-amino-2(1H)-pyrimidinthiones2. Reaction of3 with hydrazine causes substitution of the methylthio group and results in the formation of deeply coloured 1-amino-2-hydrazinopyrimidin-N-ylides5 as unusual tautomers of the commonly expected 1-amino-2(1H)-pyrimidinhydrazones4. The structure of these N-ylides has been proved by spectroscopic methods as well as by subsequent transformation to 3-amino-1,2,4-triazolo[2,3-a]pyrimidinium salts9 by dehydration or to pyrimidotriazinium salt10 c by oxidation. Reaction of N,N-disubstituted 1-amino-2-methylthiopyrimidinium salt7 a with hydrazine also causes substitution of methylthiol, the resulting orange N,N-disubstituted 1-amino-2(1H)-pyrimidinhydrazone8 a, however, cannot tautomerize to N-ylides.

Zusammenfassung Es wurden 1-Amino-2-methylthiopyrimidiniumjodide3 ausgehend von 3-Isothiocyanato-2-propeniminiumperchloraten1 und Hydrazinen durch Methylierung der primär gebildeten 1-Amino-2(1H)-pyrimidinthione2 hergestellt. Die Reaktion dieser Pyrimidiniumsalze3 mit Hydrazin verläuft unter Substitution der Methylthiogruppe unter Bildung violett gefärbter 1-Amino-2-hydrazinopyrimidin-N-ylide5 als ungewöhnliche Tautomere der allgemein erwarteten 1-Amino-2(1H)-pyrimidinhydrazone4. Die Struktur dieser Ylide5 wird durch spektroskopische Methoden sowie durch nachfolgende Dehydratisierung zu 3-Amino-1,2,4-triazolo[2,3-a]pyrimidiniumsalzen9 bzw. Oxydation zum Pyrimidotriaziniumsalz10 c bewiesen. Die Reaktion des N,N-disubstituierten 1-Amino-2-methylthiopyrimidiniumsalzes7 a mit Hydrazin verläuft ebenfalls unter Substitution der Methylthiogruppe. Jedoch kann das gebildete orange gefärbte, N,N-disubstituierte 1-Amino-2(1H)-pyrimidinhydrazon8 a nicht zu einem N-Ylid tautomerisieren.

     

1,2-Diacyl-1-arylhydrazines. 1. Derivatives of 2-hydroxy- and 2-halogenobenzoic acids

New 1,2-diacyl-1-arylhydrazines, containing a hydroxy group or a mobile halogen atom in the 1-acyl fragment, were obtained by the reaction of the arylhydrazones of acetyl and benzoyl chlorides with the salts of 2-hydroxy-, 2-acetoxy-, and 2-halogeno-3-nitrobenzoic acids. 1-(2-Hydroxybenzoyl)-1-aryl-2-acylhydrazines could not be converted into cyclic products. On heating in alkaline and acidic media elimination of the more hindered salicyloyl group and not dehydration occurred. When boiled in DMF in the presence of bases, 1-(2-halogeno-3-nitro-5-R-benzoyl)-1-aryl-2-acylhydrazines gave 2-aryl-5-R-7-nitroindazol-3-ones and not the expected 4,5-dihydrobenzo[f]-1,3,4-oxadiazepin-5-ones.A.

2-Amino-2-Deoxytetrose Derivatives. 2. Preparation from d-Glyceraldehyde Acetonide: A Reinvestigation

Abstract

A diastereomeric mixture of nitriles 1a,b was prepared by a Strecker synthesis from D-glyceraldehyde acetonide and benzylamine. The reported selective hydrolysis of the acetonide group of 1a could not be accomplished. Nitrile diastereomers 1a,b were carried forward as a mixture to amines 3a,b where the diastereomers were readily separable. The hydrochloride of 3a was transformed via sequential debenzylation, N-acetylation, reduction, and exhaustive acetylation to the 2-amino-2-deoxy-D-threose derivatives 5 and 6. The corresponding 2-amino-2-deoxy-D-erythrose derivatives 10a and 11 were prepared similarly from amine 3b.     

Über Oxocuprate. XVII. Zur Kenntnis von Ca2CuO2Cl2 und Ca2CuO2Br2

About Oxocuprates. XVII. Ca₂CuO₂Cl₂ and Ca₂CuO₂Br₂ The so far unkown compounds Ca₂CuO₂Cl₂ (I) and Ca₂CuO₂Br₂ (II) were prepared and examined by X-ray single crystal methods. They are isotypic with Sr₂CuO₂Cl₂ ((I) a = 386.6, c = 1 497.5; (II) a = 387.5, c = 1 726.4 pm, space group d–I4/mmm). A discussion of the distances in respect to the structure shows that the stretching of octahedron around Cu²⁺ is no evidence for a Jahn-Teller-effect.     

2-Substituted imidazoles. 3. Metallation of 1-methyl-2-phenyl- and 1-methyl-2-(furyl-2)imidazoles

1-Methyl-2-phenylimidazole reacts with butyllithium to give 5-lithium substituted products. On the other hand, 1-methyl-2-(furyl-2)imidazole is metallated under the same conditions exclusively on the furan ring and primarily in the 3 position. The introduction of triethylamine into the reaction mixture, or replacement of butyllithium by lithium 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidide leads to the formation of a lithium derivative substituted at the 5-position of the furan ring exclusively.For Communication 2, see [1].Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 1, pp. 61–66, January, 1992.     

Haloacetylated enol ethers. 2. Synthesis of 5-trifluoromethylpyrazoles

1-Methyl-5-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-pyrazoles 2, 3 and 4,5-dihydro-1-phenyl-5-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-pyrazol-5-ol 4 were prepared by reaction of 4-alkoxy-1,1,1-trifluoro-3-alken-2-ones 1 and hydrazine, methylhydrazine, and phenylhydrazine, respectively, in good yields. Compound 1 proved to be a versatile building block for the regiospecific construction of pyrazole rings having an 5-trifluoromethyl substituent.     

Nitroimidazoles. V . Synthesis of 1-methyl-2-(2-methyl-4-thiazolyl)nitroimidazoles

Reaction of readily available 2-methyl-4-formylthiazole ( 1 ) with glyoxal and ammonia gave 2-(2-methyl-4-thiazolyl)imidazole ( 2 ). Nitration of 2 with a mixture of nitric acid-sulfuric acid at 100° yielded 2-(2-methyl-4-thiazolyl)-4,5-dinitroimidazole ( 3 ) as the sole reaction product, while nitration at 65° afforded 2-(2-methyl-4-thiazolyl)-4-(or 5)-nitroimidazole ( 4 ). N-Methylation of compound 4 in the presence of base gave 1-methyl-2-(2-methyl-4-thiazolyl)4-nitroimidazole ( 6 ), whereas N-methylation with diazomethane afforded 1-methyl-2-(2-methyl-4-thiazolyl)-5-nitroimidazole ( 5 ). N-Methylation of compound 3 yielded 1-methyl-2-(2-methyl-4-thiazolyl)-3,5-dinitroimidazole ( 7 ) in high yield.     

Pyridinethiones. VI. The synthesis of 2H-Thiopyrano[2,3-b]pyridin-2-ones

A general and versatile method for the preparation of 2H-thiopyrano[2,3-b]pyridin-2-ones is described. The starting materials, the β, β-disubstituted vinyl-1-t-butyl-2-(1H)pyridinethiones were prepared from the synthon 3-formyl-1-t-butyl-2-(1H)pyridinethione by condensation. ¹³H nmr spectra showed the vinyl double bond of the condensation products to have the trans configuration with the smallest group close to the sulfur atom. Some reactions of these new azaanalogues of thiocoumarins are reported.     

Substituted 2-methyl- and 2-methyleneindolines. 2. Nitro- and amino-substituted 2-methyl- and 2-methylene-indolines

From 5- and 6-aminotetramethylindolines, 2-methyleneindolines have been synthesized; these compounds can be condensed with other heterocyclic systems. The nitration of 1,2,3,3-tetramethylindoline under different conditions was studied.For communication 1, see [1].Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 7, pp. 919–923, July, 1989.     

Novel Copolymers of Styrene. 16. Halogen Ring-Disubstituted Methyl 2-Cyano-3-Phenyl-2-Propenoates

Electrophilic trisubstituted ethylenes, ring-disubstituted methyl 2-cyano-3-phenyl-2-propenoates, RPhCH?C(CN)CO₂CH₃, where R is 2,5-dichloro, 3,5-dichloro, 2,3-difluoro, 3-chloro-2-fluoro, 3-chloro-4-fluoro, 4-chloro-3-fluoro, 2-chloro-5-nitro, and 2-chloro-6-nitro were prepared and copolymerized with styrene. The monomers were synthesized by the piperidine catalyzed Knoevenagel condensation of ring-disubstituted benzaldehydes and methyl cyanoacetate, and characterized by CHN analysis, IR, ¹H and ¹³C-NMR. All the ethylenes were copolymerized with styrene (M₁) in solution with radical initiation (ABCN) at 70°C. The compositions of the copolymers were calculated from nitrogen analysis and the structures were analyzed by IR, ¹H and ¹³C-NMR. The order of relative reactivity (1/r₁) for the monomers is 4-Cl-3-F (4.87) > 2,3-F₂ (4.49) > 3-Cl-4-F (3.50) > 3-Cl-2-F (2.96) > 2-Cl-5-NO₂ (2.02) > 2,5-Cl₂ (1.54) > 2-Cl-6-NO₂ (1.00) > 3,5-Cl₂ (0.41). Relatively high T_g of the copolymers in comparison with that of polystyrene indicates a decrease in chain mobility of the copolymer due to the high dipolar character of the trisubstituted ethylene monomer unit. Decomposition of the copolymers in nitrogen occurred in two steps, first in the 200–500ºC range with residue (1.5–34.5% wt), which then decomposed in the 500-800ºC range.     

Further study of estertin trichlorides,Cl3SnCH2CH2CO2R. Lewis acidity towards acetonitrile. Crystal structure of Cl3SnCH2CH2CO2Pr-i

Crystals of Cl₃SnCH₂CH₂CO₂Pri-i are orthorhombic, space group P2₁2₁2₁ with a 9.638(6), b 10.004(7) and c 12.848(8) Å. The tin atom is five-coordinate with two chlorines and carbon equatorial and the remaining chlorine and the carbonyl oxygen axial, in a distorted trigonal-bipyramidal arrangement: (SnCl)_ax 2.389(3), average (SnCl)_eq 2.320(2), SnC 2.142(9), SnO 2.337(5) Å. Apart from the equatorial chlorine and the terminal carbons in the isopropyl group, all non-hydrogen atoms are essentially coplanar. The molecule approaches C_2v symmetry although not constrained to do so by the crystallographic space group.In MeCN solution, the compounds Cl₃SnCH₂CH₂CO₂R (I, R = Me, Pr-i, C₆H₄X (X = p-MeO, H, p-Cl, o-MeO or C₆H₃Cl₂-2,4) form as equilibrium mixtures of 1/1 and 2/1 MeCN/I complexes; the chelate ring is broken in the 2/1 complexes. Equilibrium constants indicate that the strength of the intramolecular SnO coordination in I increases with the electron releasing ability of the R group.
