New approach to the synthesis of tetrazole-containing buta-1,3-diynes: The total synthesis of 1,4-bis(2-(tert-butyl)-2H-tetrazol-5-yl)buta-1,3-diyne

An approach for the total synthesis of 1,4-bis(2-(tert-butyl)-2H-tetrazol-5-yl)buta-1,3-diyne was reported. Developed approach to the synthesis of 1,4-bis(2-(tert-butyl)-2H-tetrazol-5-yl)buta-1,3-diyne can be used for obtaining different 2,5-bis(tetrazol-5-yl)-disubstituted five-membered heterocycles (e.g. thiophenes, pyrroles, furans etc.), as well as tetrazole-containing monomers for the synthesis of new types of electroconductive and high energetic polymers.

4-(2-Hydroxybenzoyl)salicylic esters and amides were prepared by domino ‘Michael-Retro-Michael-Wittig’ reactions of (2,4-dioxobutylidene)triphenylphosphoranes with 3-formylchromones.     

Synthesis of isomeric 1,3- and 1,4-bis[3(4)-nitrofuroxan-4(3)-yl]nitrobenzenes by nitration of the corresponding isomeric 1,3- and 1,4-bis[3(4)-nitrofuroxan-4(3)-yl]benzenes

Isomeric 1,3- and 1,4-bis[3(4)-nitrofuroxan-4(3)-yl]nitro(dinitro)benzenes were synthe-sized in high yields by nitration of the corresponding 1,3- and 1,4-bis[3(4)-nitrofuroxan-4(3)-yl]benzenes with a mixture of 100% nitric acid and concentrated sulfuric acid. The influence of 3- and 4-nitrofuroxanyl fragments on the regioselectivity of the nitration was revealed. The structure of 1,3-bis(4-nitrofuroxan-3-yl)-4-nitrobenzene was confirmed by X-ray diffraction analysis. 1,3- and 1,4-Bis(3-nitrofuroxan-4-yl)nitrobenzenes underwent thermal isomerization to more thermodynamically favorable 1,3- and 1,4-bis(4-nitrofuroxan-3-yl)nitrobenzenes.

Russian Journal of General Chemistry - Based on 1,3,3,5,5-penta[1-(2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxolan-4-yl)methoxy]-1-chlorocyclotriphosphazene, a series of hybrid compounds was obtained by two-step...     

Synthesis of 3-[4-(1-Benzofuran-2-yl)-1,3-thiazol-2-yl]-2-(4-aryl)-1,3-thiazolidin-4-one Derivatives as Biological Agents

A protocol for the synthesis of 3-[4-(1-benzofuran-2-yl)-1,3-thiazol-2-yl]-2-(4-aryl)-1,3-thiazolidin-4-one derivatives (5a–e) has been developed from 1-(1-benzofuran-2-yl)-2-bromoethanone (2),which served as a key intermediate for the synthesis of the title compounds. The reaction of compound 2 with thiourea furnished 4-(1-benzofuran-2-yl)-1,3-thiazol-2-amine 3, which upon further reaction with various aromatic aldehydes, gave Schiff bases 4a–e. These Schiff bases, when treated with thioacetic acid in the presence of catalytic amount of anhydrous ZnCl₂, yielded thiazolidinone derivatives 5a–e. All the newly synthesized compounds have been characterized by analytical and spectral data and screened for their antimicrobial and analgesic activity.

(1Z,3Z)-1,4-Di(pyridin-2-yl)buta-1,3-diene-2,3-diol: the planar highly conjugated symmetrical enediol with multiple intramolecular hydrogen bonds

1H, (13)C, and (15)N NMR spectral data show that in chloroform solution (1Z,3Z)-1,4-di(pyridin-2-yl)buta-1,3-diene-2,3-diol, OO, is in ca. 9:1 equilibrium with (3Z)-3-hydroxy-1,4-di(pyridin-2-yl)but-3-en-2-one, OK, while no 1,4-di(pyridin-2-yl)-2,3-butanedione, KK, was detected. The species present in the tautomeric mixture were identified by comparing their experimental chemical shifts with those known for similar compounds as well as with the theoretically calculated (GIAO-HF/DFT) values. Ab initio calculations show that OK and especially the highly conjugated OO forms are preferred in the tautomeric mixtures both in vacuo and in chloroform solution. Comparison of experimental (Arrhenius) and calculated (ab initio) energies of OK shows that the MP2/6-31G//RHF/6-31G method gives the most precise results. There are one and two strong O-H.N hydrogen bonds present in the molecules of the former and latter compound, respectively. Other tautomeric forms, e.g., dienaminedione [(1Z,4Z)-1,4-di[pyridin-2(1H)-ylidene]butane-2,3-dione], and their rotamers were found to have higher energies. The single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies show that dienediol OO is the only tautomeric form present in the crystal at 173 K. Its almost perfectly planar molecule is stabilized by two strong intramolecular O-H.N hydrogen bonds.

Synthesis of aromatic polyethers by Scholl reaction. V. Synthesis and polymerization of 1,3-bis[4-(1-naphthoxy) benzoyl]benzene, 1,4-bis[4-(1-naphthoxy)benzoyl]benzene,bis[4-(1-naphthoxy)phenyl]methane, 1,3-bis[4-(1-naphthoxy) phenylmethyl]benzene,and 1,4-bis-[4-(1-naphthoxy)phenylmethyl]benzene

This article describes the synthesis and the cation-radical polymerization (Scholl reaction) of 1,3-bis[4-(1-naphthoxy) benzoyl] benzene ( 6 ) and 1,4-bis[4-(1-naphthoxy) benzoyl]- benzene ( 7 ) initiated by FeCI₃. This polymerization produced poly(ether ether ketone ketone)s (PEEKK) of number average molecular weight (M?_n) up to 5400 g/mol. The synthesis of bis[4-(1-naphthoxy) phenyl] methane ( 8 ), 1,3-bis[4-(1-napthoxy) phenylmethyl] benzene ( 9 ), and 1,4-bis[4-(1-naphthoxy) phenylmethyl] benzene ( 10 ) are also described. Polyethers of M?_n up to 15400 g/mol at a FeCl₃/monomer molar ratio of 2/1 were obtained. An increased polymerizability of the monomers 9 and 10 containing two CH₂ groups versus that of the corresponding monomers containing two carbonyl groups ( 6 and 7 ) was observed. This enhanced polymerizability was explained based on the increased nucleophilicity of monomers 9 and 10 .     

An efficient synthesis of 1,3-bis(1,4,7-triazacyclonon-1-yl)-2-hydroxypropane, [1,3-bis(TACN)-2-propanol]

Abstract

An efficient synthesis of 1,3-bis(1,4,7-triazacyclonon-1-yl)-2-hydroxypropane is described. In contrast to earlier procedures, an improved synthetic strategy led to the selection of suitable reagents and conditions that afforded the title compound in excellent overall yield with improved process efficiency and scalability. Moreover, the mildness and synthetic efficiency of the chosen conditions were particularly well-suited for the large-scale synthesis of the title compound, which is in increasing demand for a variety of applications, including the preparation of stationary phases for immobilized metal-ion affinity chromatography of recombinant proteins.
