Understanding the interactions in acrylic copolymer/1‐butyl‐3‐methylimidazolium chloride from solution rheology

The effects of the type and content of comonomers on the rheological properties of acrylic copolymers in 1‐butyl‐3‐methylimidazolium chloride ([BMIM]Cl) were explored. According to the de Gennes scaling law for solution, comparison of intrinsic viscosity and scaling analysis of the exponent in the specific viscosity‐ and relaxation time‐concentration power law indicated that solution of both polyacrylonitrile (PAN) homo‐polymer and copolymer poly(acrylonitrile‐co‐methyl acrylate) (poly(AN‐co‐MA)) in [BMIM]Cl behave in the same manner as neutral polymer in a θ‐solvent. However, [BMIM]Cl acts as a more good solvent for poly(acrylonitrile‐co‐acrylamide) (poly(AN‐co‐AM)). The dissolution and unique rheological behavior of such solutions have been attributed to the interactions between copolymer chains and [BMIM]Cl. The interactions between nitrile group (?C≡N) and 1‐butyl‐3‐methylimidazolium cation ([BMIM]⁺) should interrupt and break the dipolar‐dipolar interactions of PAN resulting in the subsequent dissolution of the polymer in [BMIM]Cl. Such interactions between ?C≡N and [BMIM]⁺ ion are still dominated by the solvating ability of poly(AN‐co‐MA) in [BMIM]Cl, even though carbonyl group (C=O) in MA repeating unit could coordinate to cation of the ionic liquid. The salvation capacity of [BMIM]Cl for poly(AN‐co‐AM) can be evidently improved due to the extra hydrogen bond interactions between ?NH₂ group of AM and anion of [BMIM]Cl.

An Efficient and Facile Synthesis of tert‐Butyl 2‐(Methylamino)‐3‐nitro‐5‐oxo‐4‐aryl‐7,8‐dihydro‐4H‐pyrano[3,2‐c]pyridine‐6(5H)‐carboxylate derivatives in [BMIM]BF4

In this research, we have developed an efficient three‐component reaction for the synthesis of pyrano[3,2‐c]pyridine derivatives from the reaction of aromatic aldehydes, tert‐butyl 2,4‐dioxopiperidine‐1‐carboxylate, and N‐methyl‐1‐(methylthio)‐2‐nitroethylen‐1‐amine in [BMIM]BF₄ medium. The advantages of this method were readily available starting materials, simple reaction conditions, and satisfactory yields.     

Raman Spectroscopic Study on Alkyl Chain Conformation in 1‐Butyl‐3‐methylimidazolium Ionic Liquids and their Aqueous Mixtures

Ionic liquids of 1‐butyl‐3‐methylimidazolium ([BMIM]) cation with different anions (Cl^?, Br^?, I^?, and BF₄^?), and their aqueous mixtures were investigated by using Raman spectroscopy and dispersion‐included density functional theory (DFT). The characteristic Raman bands at 600 and 624 cm^?1 for two isomers of the butyl chain in the imidazolium cation showed significant changes in intensity for different anions as well as in aqueous solutions. The area ratio of these two bands followed the order I^?>Br^?>Cl^?>BF₄^? (in terms of the anion X in [BMIM]X), indicating that the butyl chain of [BMIM]I tends to adopt the trans conformation. The butyl chain was found to adopt the gauche conformation upon dilution, irrespective of the anion type. The Raman bands in the butyl C?H stretch region for [BMIM]X (X=Cl^?, Br^?, and I^?) blueshifted significantly with the increase in the water concentration, whereas that for [BMIM]BF₄ changed very little upon dilution. The blueshift in the C?H stretch region upon dilution also followed the order: [BMIM]I>[BMIM]Br>[BMIM]Cl>[BMIM]BF₄, the same order as the above trans conformation preference of the butyl chain in pure imidazolium ionic liquids, which suggested that the cation‐anion interaction plays a role in determining the conformation of the chain.     

The Synthesis of Anatase TiO2 Nanoparticles by Solvothermal Method using Ionic Liquid as Additive

The solvothermal reactions of Ti(OiPr)₄ in alcohol using ionic liquid as additive were investigated. In the presence of [BMIM][Cl], [BMIM][Br], [BMIM][NTf₂], [BMIM][SO₃Me], [BMIM][SO₄Me], or [BMIM][OTf] (BMIM = 1‐Butyl‐3‐methylimidazolium), pure anatase nanoparticles were obtained. The controlled hydrolysis of Ti(OiPr)₄ in the presence of ionic liquids to form titanium oxo clusters plays a key role in the formation of anatase nanostructures, and ionic liquids can be repeatedly used to synthesise anatase nanoparticles. However, in the presence of [BMIM][PF₆], [BMIM]₂[Ti(OH)₆] was obtained by an anion exchange reaction.     

A Facile Route for the Synthesis of Polycationic Tellurium Cluster Compounds: Synthesis in Ionic Liquid Media and Characterization by Single‐Crystal X‐ray Crystallography and Magnetic Susceptibility

An innovative soft chemical approach was applied, using ionic liquids as an alternative reaction medium for the synthesis of tellurium polycationic cluster compounds at room temperature. [Mo₂Te₁₂]I₆, Te₆[WOCl₄]₂, and Te₄[AlCl₄]₂ were isolated from the ionic liquid [BMIM]Cl/AlCl₃ ([BMIM]⁺: 1‐n‐butyl‐3‐methylimidazolium) and characterized. Black, cube‐shaped crystals of [Mo₂Te₁₂]I₆, which is not accessible by conventional chemical transport reaction, were obtained by reaction of the elements at room temperature in [BMIM]Cl/AlCl₃. The monoclinic structure (P2₁/n, a = 1138.92(2) pm, b = 1628.13(2) pm, c = 1611.05(2) pm, β = 105.88(1) °) is homeotypic to the triclinic bromide [Mo₂Te₁₂]Br₆. In the binulear complex [Mo₂Te₁₂]⁶⁺, the molybdenum(III) atoms are η⁴‐coordinated by terminal Te₄²⁺ rings and two bridging η²‐Te₂^2– dumbbells. Despite the short Mo···Mo distance of 297.16(5) pm, coupling of the magnetic moments is not observed. The paramagnetic moment of 3.53 μ_B per molybdenum(III) atom corresponds to an electron count of seventeen. Black crystals of monoclinic Te₆[WOCl₄]₂ are obtained by the oxidation of tellurium with WOCl₄ in [BMIM]Cl/AlCl₃. Tellurium and tellurium(IV) synproportionate in the ionic liquid at room temperature yielding violet crystals of orthorhombic Te₄[AlCl₄]₂.     

Side‐chain conformations in the isomorphous polyfluorinated {4,4′‐bis[(2,2‐difluoroethoxy)methyl]‐2,2′‐bipyridine‐κ2N,N′}dichloridopalladium and ‐platinum complexes

The polyfluorinated title compounds, [M Cl₂(C₁₆H₁₆F₄N₂O₂)] or [4,4′‐(HCF₂CH₂OCH₂)₂‐2,2′‐bpy]M Cl₂ [M = Pd, ( 1 ), and M = Pt, ( 2 )], have –C(H_α)₂OC(H_β)₂CF₂H side chains with H‐atom donors at the α and β sites. The structures of ( 1 ) and ( 2 ) are isomorphous, with the nearly planar (bpy)M Cl₂ molecules stacked in columns. Within one column, π‐dimer pairs alternate between a π‐dimer pair reinforced with C—H…Cl hydrogen bonds (α,α) and a π‐dimer pair reinforced with C—H_β…F(—C) interactions (abbreviated as C—H_β…F—C,C—H_β…F—C). The compounds [4,4′‐(CF₃CH₂OCH₂)₂‐2,2′‐bpy]M Cl₂ [M = Pd, ( 3 ), and M = Pt, ( 4 )] have been reported to be isomorphous [Lu et al. (2012). J. Fluorine Chem. 137 , 54–56], yet with disorder in the fluorous regions. The molecules of ( 3 ) [or ( 4 )] also form similar stacks, but with alternating π‐dimer pairs between the (α,β; α,β) and (β,β) forms. Through (C—)H…Cl hydrogen‐bond interactions, one molecule of ( 1 ) [or ( 2 )] is expanded into an aggregate of two inversion‐related π‐dimer pairs, one pair in the (α,α) form and the other pair in the (C—H_β…F—C,C—H_β…F—C) form, with the plane normals making an interplanar angle of 58.24 (3)°. Due to the demands of maintaining a high coordination number around the metal‐bound Cl atoms in molecule ( 1 ) [or ( 2 )], the ponytails of molecule ( 1 ) [or ( 2 )] bend outward; in contrast, the ponytails of molecule ( 3 ) [or ( 4 )] bend inward.     

Diversity‐Oriented Synthesis of Novel 2′‐Aminospiro[11H‐indeno[1,2‐b]quinoxaline‐11,4′‐[4H]pyran] Derivatives via a One‐Pot Four‐Component Reaction

A sequential one‐pot four‐component reaction for the efficient synthesis of novel 2′‐aminospiro[11H‐indeno[1,2‐b]quinoxaline‐11,4′‐[4H]pyran] derivatives 5 in the presence of AcONH₄ as a neutral, inexpensive, and dually activating catalyst is described (Scheme 1). The syntheses are achieved by reacting ninhydrin ( 1 ) with benzene‐1,2‐diamines 2 to give indenoquinoxalines, which are trapped in situ by malono derivatives 2 and various α‐methylenecarbonyl compounds 4 through cyclization, providing the multifunctionalized 2′‐aminospiro[11H‐indeno[1,2‐b]quinoxaline‐11,4′‐[4H]pyran] analogs 5 . This chemistry provides an efficient and promising synthetic way of proceeding for the diversity‐oriented construction of the spiro[indenoquinoxalino‐pyran] skeleton.     

A moderate distortion of the `picket‐fence' porphyrin (cryptand‐222)potassium chlorido[meso‐α,α,α,α‐tetrakis(o‐pivalamidophenyl)porphyrinato]ferrate(II) n‐hexane monosolvate

As representative porphyrin model compounds, the structures of `picket‐fence' porphyrins have been studied intensively. The title solvated complex salt {systematic name: (4,7,13,16,21,24‐hexaoxa‐1,10‐diazabicyclo[8.8.8]hexacosane)potassium(I) [5,10,15,20‐tetrakis(2‐tert‐butanamidophenyl)porphyrinato]iron(II) n‐hexane monosolvate}, [K(C₁₈H₃₆N₂O₆)][Fe(C₆₄H₆₄N₈O₄)Cl]·C₆H₁₄ or [K(222)][Fe(TpivPP)Cl]·C₆H₁₄ [222 is cryptand‐222 or 4,7,13,16,21,24‐hexaoxa‐1,10‐diazabicyclo[8.8.8]hexacosane, and TpivPP is meso‐α,α,α,α‐tetrakis(o‐pivalamidophenyl)porphyrinate(2−)], [K(222)][Fe(TpivPP)Cl]·C₆H₁₄, is a five‐coordinate high‐spin iron(II) picket‐fence porphyrin complex. It crystallizes with a potassium cation chelated inside a cryptand‐222 molecule; the average K—O and K—N distances are 2.81 (2) and 3.05 (2) Å, respectively. One of the protecting tert‐butyl pickets is disordered. The porphyrin plane presents a moderately ruffled distortion, as suggested by the atomic displacements. The axial chloride ligand is located inside the molecular cavity on the hindered porphyrin side and the Fe—Cl bond is tilted slightly off the normal to the porphyrin plane by 4.1°. The out‐of‐plane displacement of the metal centre relative to the 24‐atom mean plane (Δ₂₄) is 0.62 Å, indicating a noticeable doming of the porphyrin core.     

1‐Octanol/Water Partition Coefficients of 1Alkyl‐3‐methylimidazolium Chloride

The solubilities of 1alkyl‐3‐methylimidazolium chloride, [C_nmim][Cl], where n=4, 8, 10, and 12, in 1octanol and water have been measured by a dynamic method in the temperature range from 270 to 370 K. The solubility data was used to calculate the 1octanol/water partition coefficients as a function of temperature and alkyl substituent. The melting point, enthalpies of fusion, and enthalpies of solid–solid phase transitions were determined by differential scanning calorimetry, DSC. The solubility of [C_nmim][Cl], where n=10 or 12 in 1octanol is comparable and higher than that of [C₄mim][Cl] in 1octanol. Liquid 1n‐octyl‐3‐methylimidazolium chloride, [C₈mim][Cl], is not miscible with 1octanol and water, consequently, the liquid–liquid equilibrium, LLE was measured in this system. The differences between the solubilities in water for n=4 and 12 are shown only in α₁ and γ₁ solid crystalline phases. Additionally, the immiscibility region was observed for the higher concentration of [C₁₀mim][Cl] in water. The intermolecular solute–solvent interaction of 1butyl‐3‐methylimidazolium chloride with water is higher than for other 1alkyl‐3‐methylimidazolium chlorides. The data was correlated by means of the UNIQUAC ASM and two modified NRTL equations utilizing parameters derived from the solid–liquid equilibrium, SLE. The root‐mean‐square deviations of the solubility temperatures for all calculated data are from 1.8 to 7 K and depend on the particular equation used. In the calculations, the existence of two solid–solid first‐order phase transitions in [C₁₂mim][Cl] has also been taken into consideration. Experimental partition coefficients (log P) are negative at three temperatures; this is evidence for the possible use of these ionic liquids as green solvents.     

An Efficient and Green One‐pot Synthesis of 12‐Aryl‐8,9,10,12‐tetrahydrobenzo[a]xanthen‐11‐one Derivatives Promoted by Sulfamic Acid in [BMIM]BF4 Ionic Liquid

An efficient and green procedure for the synthesis of novel 12‐aryl‐8,9,10,12‐tetrahydrobenzo[a]xanthen‐11‐one derivatives has been described through one‐pot condensation of 2‐naphthol, arylaldehyde and 5,5‐dimethyl‐cyclohexane‐1,3‐dione in the presence of sulfamic acid (NH₂SO₃H) in ionic liquid 1‐n‐butyl‐3‐methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ([BMIM]BF₄). These reactions proceed with good yields under short reaction time. Furthermore, the green catalytic system can be recycled specific times with no decreases in yields and reaction rates.     

Synthesis of Some New 2‐Oxo‐N‐[(10H‐phenothiazin‐10‐yl)alkyl] Derivatives of Azetidine‐1‐carboxamides

The synthesis of a new series of 4‐aryl‐3‐chloro‐2‐oxo‐N‐[3‐(10H‐phenothiazin‐10‐yl)propyl]azetidine‐1‐carboxamides, 4a – 4m , is described. Phenothiazine on reaction with Cl(CH₂)₃Br at room temperature gave 10‐(3‐chloropropyl)‐10H‐phenothiazine ( 1 ), and the latter reacted with urea to yield 1‐[3‐(10H‐phenothiazin‐10‐yl)propyl]urea ( 2 ). Further reaction of 2 with several substituted aromatic aldehydes led to N‐(arylmethylidene)‐N′‐[3‐(phenothiazin‐10‐yl)propyl]ureas 3a – 3m , which, on treatment with ClCH₂COCl in the presence of Et₃N, furnished the desired racemic trans‐2‐oxoazetidin‐1‐carboxamide derivatives 4a – 4m . The structures of all new compounds were confirmed by IR, and ¹H‐ and ¹³C‐NMR spectroscopy, FAB mass spectrometry, and chemical methods.     

Synthesis of 1,3‐Dihydro‐3‐oxo‐2‐benzofuran‐1‐carboxylates via Intramolecular Cyclization of 2‐[2‐(Dimethoxymethyl)phenyl]‐ 2‐hydroxyalkanoates Followed by Oxidation

A novel and efficient method for the preparation of 1,3‐dihydro‐3‐oxo‐2‐benzofuran‐1‐carboxylates 4 under mild conditions has been developed. Thus, the reaction of [2‐(dimethoxymethyl)phenyl]lithiums, generated easily from 1‐bromo‐2‐(dimethoxymethyl)benzenes 1 , with α‐keto esters gives the corresponding 2‐[2‐(dimethoxymethyl)phenyl]‐2‐hydroxyalkanoates 2 . The TsOH‐catalyzed cyclization of these hydroxy acetals is followed by the oxidation of the resulting cyclic acetals 3 with PCC to give the desired products in satisfactory yields. The reaction of [2‐(dimethoxymethyl)‐4,5‐dimethoxyphenyl]lithium with (MeOC?O)₂, followed by treatment with NaBH₄ or organolithiums, affords 2‐[2‐(dimethoxymethyl)‐4,5‐dimethoxyphenyl]‐2‐hydroxyalkanoates 6 , which can similarly be transformed into the corresponding 1,3‐dihydro‐3‐oxo‐2‐benzofuran‐1‐carboxylates 7 in reasonable yields.     

A Novel,One‐Pot Four‐Component Route to 2′‐Thioxo‐2′,3′‐dihydrospiro[indole‐3,6′‐[1,3]thiazin]‐2‐one Derivatives

An efficient route to 2′,3′‐dihydro‐2′‐thioxospiro[indole‐3,6′‐[1,3]thiazin]‐2(1H)‐one derivatives is described. It involves the reaction of isatine, 1‐phenyl‐2‐(1,1,1‐triphenyl‐λ⁵‐phosphanylidene)ethan‐1‐one, and different amines in the presence of CS₂ in dry MeOH at reflux (Scheme 1). The alkyl carbamodithioate, which results from the addition of the amine to CS₂, is added to the α,β‐unsaturated ketone, resulting from the reaction between 1‐phenyl‐2‐(1,1,1‐triphenyl‐λ⁵‐phosphanylidene)ethan‐1‐one and isatine, to produce the 3′‐alkyl‐2′,3′‐dihydro‐4′‐phenyl‐2′‐thioxospiro[indole‐3,6′‐[1,3]thiazin]‐2(1H)‐one derivatives in excellent yields (Scheme 2). Their structures were corroborated spectroscopically (IR, ¹H‐ and ¹³C‐NMR, and EI‐MS) and by elemental analyses.     

3‐Rhoda‐1,2‐diazacyclopentanes: A Series of Novel Metallacycle Complexes Derived From CN Functionalization of Ethylene

Rh‐containing metallacycles, [(TPA)Rh^III(κ²‐(C,N)‐CH₂CH₂(NR)₂‐]Cl; TPA=N,N,N,N‐tris(2‐pyridylmethyl)amine have been accessed through treatment of the Rh^I ethylene complex, [(TPA)Rh(η²‐CH₂CH₂)]Cl ([ 1 ]Cl) with substituted diazenes. We show this methodology to be tolerant of electron‐deficient azo compounds including azo diesters (RCO₂N?NCO₂R; R=Et [ 3 ]Cl, R=iPr [ 4 ]Cl, R=tBu [ 5 ]Cl, and R=Bn [ 6 ]Cl) and a cyclic azo diamide: 4‐phenyl‐1,2,4‐triazole‐3,5‐dione (PTAD), [ 7 ]Cl. The latter complex features two ortho‐fused ring systems and constitutes the first 3‐rhoda‐1,2‐diazabicyclo[3.3.0]octane. Preliminary evidence suggests that these complexes result from N–N coordination followed by insertion of ethylene into a [Rh]?N bond. In terms of reactivity, [ 3 ]Cl and [ 4 ]Cl successfully undergo ring‐opening using p‐toluenesulfonic acid, affording the Rh chlorides, [(TPA)Rh^III(Cl)(κ¹‐(C)‐CH₂CH₂(NCO₂R)(NHCO₂R)]OTs; [ 13 ]OTs and [ 14 ]OTs. Deprotection of [ 5 ]Cl using trifluoroacetic acid was also found to give an ethyl substituted, end‐on coordinated diazene [(TPA)Rh^III(κ²‐(C,N)‐CH₂CH₂(NH)₂‐]⁺ [ 16 ]Cl, a hitherto unreported motif. Treatment of [ 16 ]Cl with acetyl chloride resulted in the bisacetylated adduct [(TPA)Rh^III(κ²‐(C,N)‐CH₂CH₂(NAc)₂‐]⁺, [ 17 ]Cl. Treatment of [ 1 ]Cl with AcN?NAc did not give the Rh?N insertion product, but instead the N,O‐chelated complex [(TPA)Rh^I ( κ²‐(O,N)‐CH₃(CO)(NH)(N?C(CH₃)(OCH?CH₂))]Cl [ 23 ]Cl, presumably through insertion of ethylene into a [Rh]?O bond.     

Synthesis of 2‐Substituted 2‐Amino Ketones by Rhodium‐Catalyzed Reaction of N‐Sulfonyl‐1,2,3‐triazoles with 2‐Alkenols

A study on a rhodium(II )‐catalyzed reaction of N‐sulfonyl‐1,2,3‐triazoles with 2‐alkenols is reported. The reaction is initiated by insertion of an α‐imino carbene into the O–H linkage of alcohol, forming a 2‐alkenoxy enamide intermediate. A thermal [3,3]‐sigmatropic rearrangement follows to yield 2‐substituted 2‐amino ketone in a stereoselective manner. The successful application of this methodology to a formal synthesis of (–)‐α‐conhydrine is also described.     

立体选择性合成2-(a-噻吩甲酰基)-3-取代苯基-4-乙氧羰基-5-甲基-反式-2,3-二氢呋喃

溴化(a-噻吩甲酰基)甲基三苯鉮1与3-取代苯甲叉基-2,4-戊二酮 2以碳酸钾为碱,在苯中55℃条件下反应,可以较好的收率、高立体选择性地生成反-2-(a-噻吩甲酰基)-3-取代苯基-4-乙氧羰基-5-甲基-2,3-二氢呋喃3。产物结构均经波谱予以确定。本文还提出了生成产物的可能机理。     

catena‐Poly[[chloro­dipyridine­manganese(II)]‐μ3‐6‐oxo‐1,6‐dihydro­pyridine‐2‐carboxyl­ato]

The title one‐dimensional chain polymer complex, [Mn(C₆H₄NO₃)Cl(C₆H₅N)₂]_n, was isolated from the reaction of MnCl₂ with 6‐oxo‐1,6‐dihydro­pyridine‐2‐carboxylic acid (HpicOH) in pyridine. The asymmetric unit contains one [Mn(HPicO)Cl(py)₂] moiety (py is pyridine), with the (HpicO)⁻ ligand acting in a tridentate manner via the two carboxyl­ate O atoms and the pyridone O atom. The operation of inversion centres generates eight‐ and 14‐membered rings and, in conjunction with an a‐axis translation, leads to an infinite chain extending along [100]. The Mn⋯Mn separations in this chain are 5.1069 (6) and 7.1869 (6) Å. The Mn^II atom has a distorted octahedral coordination, with trans‐axial pyridine ligands and with three O atoms and the Cl atom in the equatorial plane. The conformation of the 14‐membered ring is stabilized by pairs of inversion‐related N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds.     

4,4′‐Bi(1H‐pyrazol‐2‐ium) tetrachloridoaurate(III) chloride: a three‐dimensional cationic cooperite‐like framework with multiple pyrazolium–chloride hydrogen‐bonding interactions

In the title compound, (C₆H₈N₄)[AuCl₄]Cl, the 4,4′‐bi(1H‐pyrazol‐2‐ium) dication, denoted [H₂bpz]²⁺, is situated across a centre of inversion, the [AuCl₄]⁻ anion lies across a twofold axis passing through Cl—Au—Cl, and the Cl⁻ anion resides on a twofold axis. Conventional N—H...Cl hydrogen bonding [N...Cl = 3.109 (3) and 3.127 (3) Å, and N—H...Cl = 151 and 155°] between [H₂bpz]²⁺ cations (square‐planar node) and chloride anions (tetrahedral node), as complementary donors and acceptors of four hydrogen bonds, leads to a three‐dimensional binodal four‐connected framework with cooperite topology (three‐letter notation pts). The framework contains channels along the c axis housing one‐dimensional stacks of square‐planar [AuCl₄]⁻ anions [Au—Cl = 2.2895 (10)–2.2903 (16) Å; interanion Au...Cl contact = 3.489 (2) Å], which are excluded from primary hydrogen bonding with the [H₂bpz]²⁺ tectons.     

2‐Amino‐8‐(2‐deoxy‐2‐fluoro‐β‐D‐arabinofuranosyl)imidazo[1,2‐a]‐1,3,5‐triazin‐4(8H)‐one: Synthesis and Conformation of a 5‐Aza‐7‐deazaguanine Fluoronucleoside

Nucleobase‐anion glycosylation of 2‐[(2‐methyl‐1‐oxopropyl)amino]imidazo[1,2‐a]‐1,3,5‐triazin‐4(8H)‐one ( 6 ) with 3,5‐di‐O‐benzoyl‐2‐deoxy‐2‐fluoro‐α‐D ‐arabinofuranosyl bromide ( 8 ) furnishes a mixture of the benzoyl‐protected anomeric 2‐amino‐8‐(2‐deoxy‐2‐fluoro‐D ‐arabinofuranosyl)imidazo[1,2‐a]‐1,3,5‐triazin‐4(8H)‐ones 9 / 10 in a ratio of ca. 1 : 1. After deprotection, the inseparable anomeric mixture 3 / 4 was silylated. The obtained 5‐O‐[(1,1‐dimethylethyl)diphenylsilyl] derivatives 11 and 12 were separated and desilylated affording the nucleoside 3 and its α‐D anomer 4 . Similar to 2′‐deoxy‐2′‐fluoroarabinoguanosine, the conformation of the sugar moiety is shifted from S towards N by the fluoro substituent in arabino configuration.     

Quinolone analogues 1. A convenient synthesis of 1‐alkyl‐4‐oxo‐1,4‐dihydropyridazino[3,4‐b]quinoxaline‐3‐carboxylic acids

The reaction of the alkylhydrazinoquinoxaline N‐oxides 2a‐d with dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate gave the dimethyl 1‐alkyl‐1,5‐dihydropyridazino[3,4‐b]qumoxaline‐3,4‐dicarboxylates 3a‐d , whose reaction with nitrous acid effected the C₄‐oxidation to afford the dimethyl 1‐alkyl‐4‐hydroxy‐1,4‐dihydropyridazino‐[3,4‐b]quinoxaline‐3,4‐dicarboxylates 4a‐d , respectively. The reaction of compounds 4a‐d with 1,8‐diazabicyclo[5.4.0]‐7‐undecene in ethanol provided the ethyl 1‐alkyl‐4‐oxo‐1,4‐dihydropyridazino[3,4‐b]quinoxa‐line‐3‐carboxylates 5a‐d , while the reaction of compounds 4a‐d with potassium hydroxide furnished the 1‐alkyl‐4‐oxo‐1,4‐dihydropyridazino[3,4‐b]quinoxaline‐3‐carboxylic acids 6a‐d , respectively. Compounds 6c,d were also obtained by the reaction of compounds 5c,d with potassium hydroxide, respectively.
