One‐Pot Synthesis of (1,2,3‐Triazolyl)methyl 3,4‐Dihydro‐2‐oxo‐1H‐pyrimidine‐5‐carboxylates as Potentially Active Antimicrobial Agents

A simple and efficient one‐pot four‐component procedure has been developed for the synthesis of a wide range of compounds containing the (triazolyl)methyl oxo‐pyrimidine‐carboxylate system from propargyl β‐keto esters, various azides, aldehydes, and urea in the presence of catalytic amounts of (AcO)₂Cu/sodium ascorbate in AcOH. The method worked well with different aryl and heteroaryl aldehydes, and for a variety of substituents in the triazolyl part of the molecule. The antimicrobial activities of the products were evaluated against two Gram‐positive and Gram‐negative bacteria, and one fungus. Compound 5j was active against Staphylococcus aureus and Candida albicans.     

Novel Four‐Component Approach for the Synthesis of Polyfunctionalized 1,4‐Dihydropyridines in Aqueous Media

The four‐component reaction of dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate (=dimethyl but‐2‐ynedioate; DMAD), aromatic aldehydes, and malononitrile (=propanedinitrile) leads to polyfunctionalized 1,4‐dihydropyridine derivatives. The reaction proceeds at room temperature and in the presence of a catalytic amount (20%) of (NH₄)₂HPO₄ as a base in aqueous media.     

One‐Pot Synthesis of 4‐(2,3‐Dihydro‐2‐hydroxy‐1,3‐dioxo‐1H‐inden‐2‐yl)‐Substituted 1‐Aryl‐1H‐pyrazole‐3‐carboxylates via a Tandem Three‐Component Reaction

The hitherto unreported, highly functionalized 1H‐pyrazole‐3‐carboxylates 3 have been synthesized in good yields via a one‐pot three‐component domino reaction of phenylhydrazines, dialkyl acetylenedicarboxylates, and ninhydrin under mild conditions for the first time. No co‐catalyst or activator is required for this multicomponent reaction, and the reaction is, from an experimental point of view, simple to perform (Scheme 1). The structures of compounds 3 were corroborated spectroscopically (IR, ¹H‐ and ¹³C‐NMR, and EI‐MS) and by elemental analyses. A plausible mechanism for this type of cyclization/addition reaction is proposed (Scheme 2).

The reaction between secondary amines, benzoyl isothiocyanate, and dialkyl acetylenedicarboxylates (=dialkyl but‐2‐ynedioates) in the presence of silica gel (SiO₂) led to alkyl 2‐(dialkylamino)‐4‐phenylthiazole‐5‐carboxylates in fairly high yields. The structures of the products were confirmed by their IR, ¹H‐ and ¹³C‐NMR, and mass spectra, and by a single‐crystal X‐ray structure determination.

One‐Pot Synthesis of 4‐(Alkylamino)‐1‐(arylsulfonyl)‐3‐benzoyl‐1,5‐ dihydro‐5‐hydroxy‐5‐phenyl‐2H‐pyrrol‐2‐ones via a Multicomponent Reaction

An effective route to novel 4‐(alkylamino)‐1‐(arylsulfonyl)‐3‐benzoyl‐1,5‐dihydro‐5‐hydroxy‐5‐phenyl‐2H‐pyrrol‐2‐ones 10 is described (Scheme 2). This involves the reaction of an enamine, derived from the addition of a primary amine 5 to 1,4‐diphenylbut‐2‐yne‐1,4‐dione, with an arenesulfonyl isocyanate 7 . Some of these pyrrolones 10 exhibit a dynamic NMR behavior in solution because of restricted rotation around the C? N bond resulting from conjugation of the side‐chain N‐atom with the adjacent α,β‐unsaturated ketone group, and two rotamers are in equilibrium with each other in solution ( 10 ? 11 ; Scheme 3). The structures of the highly functionalized compounds 10 were corroborated spectroscopically (IR, ¹H‐ and ¹³C‐NMR, and EI‐MS), by elemental analyses, and, in the case of 10a , by X‐ray crystallography. A plausible mechanism for the reaction is proposed (Scheme 4).     

A Novel and Efficient Synthesis of 3‐[(4,5‐Dihydro‐1H‐pyrrol‐3‐yl)carbonyl]‐2H‐chromen‐2‐ones (=3‐[(4,5‐Dihydro‐1H‐pyrrol‐3‐yl)carbonyl]‐2H‐1‐benzopyran‐2‐ones)

An efficient one‐pot synthesis of 3‐[(4,5‐dihydro‐1H‐pyrrol‐3‐yl)carbonyl]‐2H‐chromen‐2‐one (=3‐[(4,5‐dihydro‐1H‐pyrrol‐3yl)carbonyl]‐2H‐1‐benzopyran‐2‐one) derivatives 4 by a four‐component reaction of a salicylaldehyde 1 , 4‐hydroxy‐6‐methyl‐2H‐pyran‐2‐one, a benzylamine 2 , and a diaroylacetylene (=1,4‐diarylbut‐2‐yne‐1,4‐dione) 3 in EtOH is reported. This new protocol has the advantages of high yields (Table), and convenient operation. The structures of these coumarin (=2H‐1‐benzopyran‐2‐one) derivatives, which are important compounds in organic chemistry, were confirmed spectroscopically (IR, ¹H‐ and ¹³C‐NMR, and EI‐MS) and by elemental analyses. A plausible mechanism for this reaction is proposed (Scheme 2).     

Aluminium Complexes Bearing Pyrrolide Ligand as Efficient Catalysts for Ring‐Opening Polymerization of ε‐Caprolactone

Three aluminium complexes supported by a tetradentate pyrrolide ligand H₂L [H₂L = N,N′‐(2,2‐dimethylpropane‐1,3‐diyl)bis(1‐(1H‐pyrrol‐2‐yl)methanimine)], namely, Al(L)Me ( 1 ), Al(L)Cl ( 2 ), and Al(L)(OiPr) ( 3 ), were synthesized. The structures of 1 and 2 were established by X‐ray single crystal diffraction analysis, and the structure of 3 was characterized by NMR spectroscopy and element analysis. All complexes, containing different chemical bond forms (Al–C, Al–Cl, and Al–O), are good initiators for the ring‐opening polymerization (ROP) of ε‐caprolactone. The obtained polymers have high molecular weights (MWs) and relatively narrow molecular weight distributions (PDIs). Complexes 1 and 3 show dramatically high activities for the ROP of ε‐caprolactone. For complex 1 , when the monomer/initiator (M/I) ratio is 6400:1, a 40 % yield of the product could be obtained at 100 °C. The activity of 3 is higher than that of 1 , and 39 % yield of the polymers could be afforded at 70 °C, as the M/I value reaches 12800:1. The good activities of these complexes reveal their potential applications in industry.

Aluminium Nitrate Nonahydrate (Al(NO3)3⋅9 H2O): An Efficient Oxidant Catalyst for the One‐Pot Synthesis of Biginelli Compounds from Benzyl Alcohols

A clean and efficient tandem oxidative cyclocondensation process is reported for the synthesis of 3,4‐dihydropyrimidin‐2(1H)‐one or ‐thione derivatives from primary aryl alcohols, β‐keto esters, and urea or thiourea in the presence of Al(NO₃)₃?9 H₂O as oxidant catalyst (Scheme, Table 5).     

Lewis Acids as Mild and Effective Catalysts for the Synthesis of 3,5‐Bis[(hetero)arylidene]piperidin‐4‐ones

The aldol‐crotonic condensation reactions of N‐alkyl‐ and NH‐piperidin‐4‐one derivatives with (hetero)aromatic aldehydes promoted by Lewis acids or bases were examined. This comparative study has revealed three effective catalytic systems based on Lewis acids, i.e., LiClO₄ and MgBr₂ (in the presence of tertiary amine), and BF₃⋅Et₂O, for the synthesis of N‐alkyl‐substituted 3,5‐bis(heteroarylidene)piperidin‐4‐ones, including those bearing acid‐ or base‐labile groups both in the (hetero)aromatic groups and in the alkyl substituent at the N‐atom. The highest reaction rate was observed for LiClO₄‐mediated synthesis. Both MgBr₂‐ and LiClO₄‐mediated syntheses were inefficient in the case of NH‐piperidin‐4‐one, while BF₃⋅Et₂O provided the final compounds in high yields. This catalyst is especially advantageous as it allows simultaneous condensation and deprotection in the case of O‐protected piperidin‐4‐one.

Novel α‐(acyloxy)‐α‐(quinolin‐4‐yl)acetamides were synthesized by the Passerini three‐component reaction between an isocyanide, quinoline‐4‐carbaldehyde, and arenecarboxylic acids in H₂O. The reactions were carried out in one pot at room temperature with quantitative yields.     

Ring‐Opening Reactions of 3‐Aryl‐1‐benzylaziridine‐2‐carboxylates and Application to the Asymmetric Synthesis of an Amphetamine‐Type Compound

Nucleophilic ring‐opening reactions of 3‐aryl‐1‐benzylaziridine‐2‐carboxylates were examined by using O‐nucleophiles and aromatic C‐nucleophiles. The stereospecificity was found to depend on substrates and conditions used. Configuration inversion at C(3) was observed with O‐nucleophiles as a major reaction path in the ring‐opening reactions of aziridines carrying an electron‐poor aromatic moiety, whereas mixtures containing preferentially the syn‐diastereoisomer were generally obtained when electron‐rich aziridines were used (Tables 1–3). In the reactions of electron‐rich aziridines with C‐nucleophiles, S_N2 reactions yielding anti‐type products were observed (Table 4). Reductive ring‐opening reaction by catalytic hydrogenation of (+)‐trans‐(2S,3R)‐3‐(1,3‐benzodioxol‐5‐yl)aziridine‐2‐carboxylate (+)‐trans‐ 3c afforded the corresponding α‐amino acid derivative, which was smoothly transformed into (+)‐tert‐butyl [(1R)‐2‐(1,3‐benzodioxol‐5‐yl)‐1‐methylethyl]carbamate((+)‐ 14 ) with high retention of optical purity (Scheme 6).

5‐(2‐Cyanoethyl)‐1,1′‐biphenyl‐2‐carboxylates were prepared by regioselective formal [3+3] cyclocondensations of 1,3‐bis[(trimethylsilyl)oxy]buta‐1,3‐dienes.     

A New Solution—phase Parallel Synthesis of 2—Alkyamino—3—aryl—5—phenylmethylene—3,5—dihydro—4H—imidazol—4—ones

Thirteen new 2-alkylaminoimidazolones(4) wre rapidly synthesized by a new solution-phase parallel synthetic method,which includes aza-Wittig reaction of iminophosphorane(1) with aromatic isocyanate to give carbodi-imide(2) and subsequent reaction of 2 with various aliphatic primary amine in a parallel fashion.The products were confirmed by ^1H NMR,MS,IR and X-ray crystallographic analysis.The unusual selectivity of the cyclization was probably due to the deometry of the guanidine intermediate.
