Distinguishing Features of reactions of 2-chloro-and 2,2-dichloro(bromo)vinyl ketones with alkyl-and arylhydrazines

2-Chlorovinyl alkyl ketones react with alkylhydrazines to give mixtures of 1-R-3-R′- and 1-R-5-R′-pyrazoles: The 1-R-3-R′-pyrazoles form through the heterocyclization of 2-chlorovinyl ketone alkylhydrazones whereas in the heterocyclization into 1-R-5-R′-pyrazoles N ¹-alkyl-N ²-(2-acylvinyl)hydrazines are involved. The regiospecific heterocyclization of 2-chloro-and 2,2-dichlorovinyl ketones with arylhydrazines and also of 2,2-dichloro(bromo)vinyl trifluoromethyl ketones with C alkylhydrazines into pyrazoles and 5-chloro(bromo)-pyrazoles proceeds through a stage of haloenones hydrazones formation. The study of the structure of the obtained 1-alkyl-3(5)-alkylpyrazoles by means of two-dimenaional ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectroscopy and GC-MS method made it possible to assign the proton and carbon signals of isomeric pyrazoles and to establish the diagnostic ions for the pair of 1,3-and 1,5-isomers.     

Synthesis and properties of 2-amino-1-chloroenones

Reactions of alkyl-, allyl-, and arylamines and o-aminophenol with 1,2-dichlorovinyl alkyl ketones involve replacement of only one chlorine atom in the β-position with respect to the carbonyl group with formation of 2-alkylamino-, 2-allylamino-, and 2-arylamino-1-chlorovinyl ketones. Diamines of the aromatic and aliphatic series react with 1,2-dichlorovinyl alkyl ketone molecules to give N,N′-bis(2-acyl-2-chlorovinyl)-substituted diamines.

1-Chloroalkyl isocyanates and 1-chloroalkylcarbodiimides undergo regioselective cyclization with nitriles and esters of 2-benzimidazolylacetic acid to give derivatives of 1-oxo and 1-arylimino-1,2,3,5-tetrahydrobenzo[4,5]imidazo[1,2-c]pyrimidine respectively. The cyclocondensation of 1,1-dichloroalkyl isocyanates or N-(1-chloroalkylidene)carbamates with nitriles and esters of 2-benzimidazolylacetic acid afforded 1,5-dihydrobenzo[4,5]imidazo[1,2-c]pyrimidin-1-one derivatives.Translated from Zhurnal Organicheskoi Khimii, Vol. 40, No. 11, 2004, pp. 1715–1724.Original Russian Text Copyright © 2004 by Vovk, Lebed, Pirozhenko, Tsymbal.For communication III see [1].     

Fluorine-containing pyrido[1,2-<Emphasis Type="Italic">a</Emphasis>]quinazolin-6-ones

Reactions of 2-aminopyridine and 2-amino-5-methylpyridine with 2,3,4,5-tetrafluorobenzoyl chloride afforded N,N’-diaroylpyridinium salts, which were converted into 6H-pyrido[1,2-a]quinazolin-6-ones by refluxing in toluene in the presence of triethylamine. The angular structure of the tricyclic derivatives obtained was confirmed by ¹⁹F and ¹³C NMR spectroscopy and 2D heteronuclear HetCOR and HMBC experiments.__________Published in Russian in Izvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Vilsmeier Formylation of Hydrazones and Semicarbazones Derived from Alkyl, Benzyl, and Cycloalkyl Methyl Ketones

Formylation of ten accessible phenylhydrazones and semicarbazones derived from alkyl, benzyl, and cycloalkyl methyl ketones with the complex of POCl₃ with dimethylformamide was studied. Depending on the electronic and steric structure of the substrates, the reaction yields 1-phenyl- or 1-unsubstituted 3,4-dialkyl-, 3-alkyl-4-aryl-, or 3-alkyl-4-formylpyrazoles. These compounds can be readily oxidized into the corresponding carboxylic acids.__________Translated from Zhurnal Obshchei Khimii, Vol. 75, No. 3, 2005, pp. 448–452.Original Russian Text Copyright © 2005 by Lebedev, Lebedeva, Sheludyakov, Kovaleva, Ustinova, Kozhevnikov.     

Chiral and Nonchiral [OsX2(diphosphane)(diamine)] (X: Cl,OCH2CF3) Complexes for Fast Hydrogenation of Carbonyl Compounds

The osmium complexes trans‐[OsCl₂(dppf)(diamine)] (dppf: 1,1′‐bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene; diamine: ethylenediamine in 3 , propylenediamine in 4 ) were prepared by the reaction of [OsCl₂(PPh₃)₃] ( 1 ) with the ferrocenyl diphosphane, dppf and the corresponding diamine in dichloromethane. The reaction of derivative 3 with NaOCH₂CF₃ in toluene afforded the alkoxide cis‐[Os(OCH₂CF₃)₂(dppf)(ethylenediamine)] ( 5 ). The novel precursor [Os₂Cl₄(P(m‐tolyl)₃)₅] ( 2 ) allows the synthesis of the chiral complexes trans‐[OsCl₂(diphosphane)(1,2‐diamine)] ( 6 – 9 ; diphosphane: (R)‐[6,6′‐dimethoxy(1,1′‐biphenyl)‐2,2′‐diyl]bis[1,1‐bis(3,5‐dimethylphenyl)phosphane] (xylMeObiphep) or (R)‐(1,1′‐binaphthalene)‐2,2′‐diylbis[1,1‐bis(3,5‐dimethylphenyl)phosphane] (xylbinap); diamine=(R,R)‐1,2‐diphenylethylenediamine (dpen) or (R,R)‐1,2‐diaminocyclohexane (dach)), obtained by the treatment of 2 with the diphosphane and the 1,2‐diamine in toluene at reflux temperature. Compounds 3 – 5 in ethanol and in the presence of NaOEt catalyze the reduction of methyl aryl, dialkyl, and diaryl ketones and aldehydes with H₂ at low pressure (5 atm), with substrate/catalyst (S/C) ratios of 10 000–200 000 and achieving turnover frequencies (TOFs) of up to 3.0×10⁵ h^?1 at 70 °C. By employment of the chiral compounds 6 – 9 , different ketones, including alkyl aryl, bulky tert‐butyl, and cyclic ketones, have successfully been hydrogenated with enantioselectivities up to 99 % and with S/C ratios of 5000–100 000 and TOFs of up to 4.1×10⁴ h^?1 at 60 °C.

Aluminum complexes of sterically hindered tetradentate Schiff bases: Synthesis, structure, and reactivity toward -caprolactone

The sterically hindered Schiff bases tbmSalenH₂ [tbmSalen = N,N′-1,2-ethylenebis(3-tert-butyl-5-methylsalicylideneimine)] and tbmSalcenH₂ [tbmSalcen = N,N′-trans-1,2-cyclohexanediyl-bis(3-tert-butyl-5-methylsalicylideneimine)] afforded a series of aluminum complexes of the general formulae [Al(tbmSalen)X] and [Al(tbmSalcen)X] (X = Cl, Me, Et). The molecular structure of [Al(tbmSalcen)Cl] was determined by single-crystal X-ray structural analysis which revealed a five-coordinate aluminum center with a distorted square pyramidal geometry. The alkyl complexes were found to oligomerize -caprolactone.     

Synthesis of novel derivatives of 2-(azolylimino)thiazoline

Successive alkylation of 5-(3-phenylthioureido)-3H-imidazole-4-carboxamides with alkyl halides and chloroacetone gave (N-oxopropylimidazolyl)isothioureas, which were easily converted into derivatives of purine and imidazopyrazinone. In the case of ethyl 5-(3-phenylthioureido)-3H-imidazole-4-carboxylate, primary alkylation occurs at the N atom of the imidazole ring. Reactions of 5-(3-phenylthioureido)-3H-imidazole-4-carboxamides with haloketones afforded a number of 4-hydroxy-2-imidazolyliminothiazolidines and 2-imidazolylimino-Δ⁴-thiazolines.__________Published in Russian in Izvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Fluorinated 1,3-diketones, 2-trifluoroacetyl phenols and their derivatives: versatile reactants in phosphorus chemistry

The role of fluorinated β-diketones, their tautomers (keto–enols) and their derivatives as reagents towards λ³P compounds is reviewed, including 2-trifluoroacetyl phenols, possessing formally a keto–enol system, and their derivatives. In an ‘insertion’ reaction phosphine and the keto–enol tautomers of 1,1,1,5,5,5-hexafluoro- and 1,1,1-trifluoropentan-2,4-dione furnished primary (S) or (R) α-hydroxy phosphines, whose enol functions probably isomerized the corresponding keto compounds. Further addition and isomerisation furnished 1,3α,5,7β-tetrakis(trifluoromethyl)-2-phospha-6-oxa-9-oxabicyclo[3.3.1]-nonan-3β,7α-diol and 1,7-trifluoromethyl-3,5-methyl-2,4,8-trioxa-6-phophaadamantane, exclusively one diastereomer in each case. The main mechanistic feature of these reactions is a consecutive diastereoselective hemiketal cyclization. 1,1,1,5,5,5-Hexafluoro- and 1,1,1-trifluoropentan-2,4-dione, as well as 2-trifluoroacetyl phenol and its imino derivatives reacted diastereospecifically with phosphonous acid dichlorides, RPCl₂ to give in a concerted mechanism thermally stable tricyclic λ⁵σ⁵P phosphoranes containing two five-membered rings and one six-membered ring. Surprisingly, the two CF₃ groups bonded to an sp³-hybridized carbon were in a cisoid arrangement having closest non-bonding FF distances of 301.4 or 273.5 pm. These findings reflect the ‘through space’ F---F coupling constants of the tricyclic phosphoranes (J_FF=4.0–7.0 Hz), in solution. 4,4,4-Trifluoro-3-hydroxy-1-phenyl-butan-1-one and methyl or phenyl phosphonous acid dichlorides gave similar tricyclic phosphoranes decomposing at ambient temperature to furnish 1,2λ⁵σ⁴-oxaphospholanes and (E)-1,1,1-trifluoro-4-phenyl-but-2-en-4-one. Dialkylphosphites and 1,1,1,5,5,5-hexafluoropentan-2,4-dione reacted to give either the (Z)-enol phosphonates or the respective γ-ketophosphonates from which in two cases four diastereomeric 2-oxo-2,5-dialkoxy-3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)-3-hydroxy-1,2λ⁵σ⁴-oxa-phospholanes were obtained. 2-Trifluoroacetyl cyclohexanone, 4,4,4-trifluoro-3-trimethylsiloxy-1-phenylbutan-1-one, 1-benzoyl-2-trifluormethyloxirane, 1-benzoyl-2-trifluoro-methylaziridine, 2-trifluoroacetyl-1-trimethylsiloxybenzene and (trifluoroacetyl-1-phenyl) diethyl phosphate reacted with tris(trimethylsilyl) phosphite to give functionalized α-trimethylsiloxy phosphonates, which could easily be transferred into the respective phosphonic acids. In the case of an oxirane and an aziridine ketone no ring cleavage was observed. For 1,1′-(2-hydroxy-5-methyl-m-phenylene)-bis-ethanone and 1,1′-(2-trimethylsiloxy-5-methyl-m-phenylene)-bis-ethanone benzoxaphospholanes were obtained. Trialkyl phosphites and 1,1,1,5,5,5-hexafluoropentan-2,4-dione furnished cyclic phosphoranes containing the 3-hydroxy-3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)-1,2λ⁵σ⁵-oxaphospholene structural element, stable at ambient temperature only in the case of one cyclic phosphite precursor. (E)-1,1,1-Trifluoro-4-phenyl-but-2-en-4-one and trimethylphosphite reacted to form 1,2λ⁵σ⁵-oxaphosphol-4-ene as the sole product. Results similar to the reaction of 1,1′-(2-hydroxy-5-methyl-m-phenylene)-bis-ethanone with diethyltrimethylsilylphosphite were obtained for trimethylphosphite and 2-trifluoroacetyl phenol where a deoxygenated phosphorane was found, easily hydrolyzed to give the respective phosphonic acid. With dialkylisocyanato phosphites and the keto components, 1,1,1,5,5,5-hexafluoro- and 1,1,1-trifluoropentan-2,4-dione, 4,4,4-trifluoro-1-phenyl-1,3-butandione, 2-trifluoroacetyl cyclohexanone, 2-trifluoroacetyl phenol and 1,1′-(2-hydroxy-5-methyl-m-phenylene)-bis-ethanone reacted in a ‘double’ cycloaddition to form bicyclic phosphoranes containing the 4,8-dioxa-2-aza-1λ⁵σ⁵-phosphabicyclo[3.3.0]-oct-6-en-3-one ring system; for the imino derivatives of 2-trifluoroacetyl phenol a corresponding 8-oxa-2,4-diaza- system was generated. For (E)-1,1,1,5,5,5-hexafluoro-4-trimethylsiloxy-3-penten-2-one however, a cyclic spiroimino phosphorane was obtained which underwent a [2+2] cyclodimerization to form a diazadiphosphetidine. Dimethylpropynyl phosphonite and 1,1,1,5,5,5-hexafluoropentan-2,4-dione yielded diastereoselectively a bisphosphorane, namely 1,4-bis(trifluoromethyl)-3,6-dioxa-2,2,7,7-tetramethoxy-2,7-di(1-propynyl)-2,7-diphosphabicyclo[2.2.1] heptane. When trimethylsilanyl–phosphenimidous acid bis-trimethylsilanyl–amide, Me₃SiN=PN(SiMe₃)₂, was allowed to react with 1,1,1,5,5,5-hexafluoro- and 1,1,1-trifluoropentan-2,4-dione, (E)-1,1,1,5,5,5-hexafluoro-4-trimethylsiloxy-3-penten-2-one, 2-trifluoroacetyl cyclopentanone, 2-trifluoroacetyl phenol and its imino derivatives, 2-imino-1,2λ⁵σ⁴-oxaphospholenes were found containing two diastereomers in each case, which added hexafluoroacetone across the P=N bond to give 1,3,2λ⁵σ⁵-oxazaphosphetanes.     

Synthesis and configuration of 4-alkyl-2-methyl-3,4-diphenyl-1,2-thiazetidine 1,1-dioxide

4-Alkyl-2-methyl-3,4-diphenyl-1,2-thiazetidine 1,1-dioxide 5, 6 and 7 were obtained from 2-methyl-3,4-diphenyl-1,2-thiazetidine 1,1-dioxide 1 by reaction of its anion 4 with alkyl halides. cis- and trans-Configuration of the 4-alkylated products were determined by ¹H-nmr and NOE difference spectro-scopy studies.     

Reactions of zinc enolates derived from 1-aryl-2,2-di-bromoalkanones with 2-acyl-3H-benzo[f]chromen-3-ones, 6-bromo-2-oxochromene-3-carboxamides, and 3-oxo-3H-benzo-[f]chromene-2-carboxamides

Zinc enolates derived from substituted 1-aryl-2,2-dibromoalkanones reacted with 2-acyl-3H-benzo-[f]chromen-3-ones to give 1-alkyl-1-aroyl-1a-acyl-1a, 9c-dihydro-1H-3-oxacyclopropa[c]phenanthren-2-ones which were formed as a single stereoisomer. Reactions of the same zinc enolates with 6-bromo-2-oxo-chromene-3-carboxamides (piperidides and morpholides) afforded 1-aroyl-6-bromo-1-alkyl-1a-piperidino-(morpholino)carbonyl-1a,7b-dihydrocyclopropa[c]chromen-2-ones with high stereoselectivity. Likewise, 1-benzoyl-1-methyl-1a-morpholinocarbonyl-1a, 9c-dihydro-1H-3-oxacyclopropa[c]phenanthren-2-one was obtained by reac-tion with 3-oxo-3H-benzo[f]chromene-2-carboxylic acid morpholide.Translated from Zhurnal Organicheskoi Khimii, Vol. 40, No. 9, 2004, pp. 1399–1404.Original Russian Text Copyright © 2004 by V.

Alkylation of 4-oxo-3-methyl-4,5,6,7-tetrahydroindazoles

The alkylation of 4-oxo-3,6,6-trimethyl-4,5,6,7-tetrahydroindazole with alkyl halides forms mixtures of 1-alkyl and 2-alkyl derivatives which have been separated by fractional crystallization from n-hexane. The 4-oxo-1-alkyl-,-1-aryl-, and -1-acyl-4,5,6,7-tetrahydroindazoles have characteristic frequencies in their IR spectra at 1540-1530 cm^–1, and the corresponding 2-substituted derivatives have frequencies at 1565-1555 cm^–1. The introduction of an alkyl substituent at a nitrogen atom decreases the basicity of 4,5,6,7-tetrahydroindazole by 0.6 orders of magnitude, the 1-alkyl isomers being somewhat stronger bases than the 2-alkyl isomers.     

Linear polynuclear tetrazole-containing compounds

Linear polynuclear tetrazole-containing compounds were synthesized. Alkylation of 5-[-(5-phenyl-2-tetrazolyl)alkyl]tetrazoles with ethyl bromoacetate and chloroacetamide gave the corresponding esters and amides. Treatment of the latter with tetrachlorosilane-sodium azide afforded compounds containing three tetrazole rings linked through polymethylene bridges. Acid ionization constants of the products possessing an NH-tetrazole ring (pK _a = 2.9–3.2) and the corresponding carboxylic acids (pK _a = 2.9–3.1) in aqueous methanol were determined by potentiometric titration.Translated from Zhurnal Organicheskoi Khimii, Vol. 40, No. 10, 2004, pp. 1580–1586.Original Russian Text Copyright © 2004 by Morozova, Komissarov, Esikov, Zubarev, Malin, Ostrovskii.     

3-Oxo-1,2-benzoisothiazoline-2-acetic acid 1,1-dioxide derivatives. I. Reaction of esters with alkoxides

Reaction of 3-oxo-1,2-benzoisothiazoline-2-acetic acid alkyl esters 1,1-dioxide ( 1a-d ) with alkaline alkoxides was carried out under various conditions. Under mild conditions, o-(N-carboxymethylsulfamyl)benzoic acids dialkyl esters ( 2a-d ) were obtained with good yields. Reaction of 1a-d or 2a-d with sodium alkoxides under drastic conditions afforded 4-hydroxy-2H-1,2-benzothiazine-3-carboxylic acid alkyl esters 1,1-dioxide ( 3a-d ). Transesterification was observed when esters 1b-d were treated with sodium methoxide in methanol. Esters 3a-d were hydrolyzed in concentrated aqueous sodium hydroxide affording the acid 6 . Attempts to recrystallize 6 from water resulted in its decarboxylation to give 2H-1,2-benzothiazine-4-(3H)one 1,1-dioxide (7). Compound 6 could not be obtained by acid hydrolysis of esters 3a-d or by rearrangement of 3-oxo-1,2-benzoisothiazoline-2-acetic acid 1,1-dioxide ( 8 ). Different experimental evidence supports the suggestion that rearrangement took place by ethanolysis of the carboxamide linkage affording the open sulfonamides (fast step) followed by a Dieckmann cyclization (slow step). It was demonstrated that transesterification took place in the open sulfonamides 2 .     

One-stage procedure of synthesis of highly reactive α-chloro-β-ketoacetals. 4-chloropyrazoles from α-chloro-β-ketodimethoxyacetals

Conditions were developed where the reaction of alkyl 1,2-dichlorovinyl ketones with alcohols and 1,2-dihydroxybenzenes led to the formation of the corresponding open-chain and cyclic α-chloro-β-ketoacetals. The reaction of α-chloro-β-alkylketodimethoxyacetals with alkyl-, benzyl-, and arylhydrazines resulted in 1,3-substituted 4-chloropyrazoles in 70–90% yields demonstrating that primarily formed 2,2-dimethoxy-1-chloroethyl alkyl ketones hydrazones underwent heterocyclization.     

Spectral correlations for β-chlorovinyl ketones

The IR and UV spectroscopic data of a series of alkyl substituted β-chlorovinyl ketones have been determined. Some of the IR and UV spectroscopic criteria, developed for the S-cis or S-trans conformation of ordinary α,β-unsaturated ketones, seem to be applicable for the β-chlorovinyl ketones: the S-cis conformer shows a low ratio (rⁱ) of the integrated intensities of the carbonyl and double bond stretching vibrations and a relatively low UV ε value; whereas high rⁱ and ε values are found for the S-trans conformer; non-planarity increases the rⁱ value and decreases the ε value.The prefered conformations as determined by the IR and UV spectral data have led to the presentation of benzene solvation models for a series of β-chlorovinyl ketones. These models made it possible to assign thecis ortrans structure to α,β-dialkyl-β-chlorovinyl ketones on the basis of the NMR aromatic solvent induced shifts of the β-alkyl group: high solvent shifts to a higher field (0·31–0·66 ppm) are found forcis-β-chlorovinyl ketones, whereas low solvent shifts (0·040·15) are found for thetrans-β-chlorovinyl ketones. Assignments based on the chemical shifts alone can lead to erroneous interpretations.     

β-Aminovinyl ketonates with heterocyclic fragments

-Aminovinyl ketones containing heterocyclic fragments (tetrahydro-1-6,2-benzothiazine 1,1-dioxide and 2,3-dimethyl-1-phenyl-2,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazole-5-one) (LH) and their complexes with 3d-metals (Co^II, Ni^II, Cu^II, and Zn^II) were synthesized. The obtained ligands give rise to two types of ML₂ chelates with coordinated (coordination number 6; Co, Ni, Zn) and uncoordinated carbonyl group in the pyrazole fragment (coordination number 5; Cu).Translated from Zhurnal Obshchei Khimii, Vol. 74, No. 10, 2004, pp. 1709–1713.Original Russian Text Copyright © 2004 by Anpilova, Korshunov, Bicherov, Burlov, Borodkin, Zaletov, Uflyand, Garnovskii.This revised version was published online in April 2005 with a corrected cover date.     

Zur Kenntnis der Reaktionsfähigkeit des Thiomorpholins und alkylsubstituierter Thiomorpholine, 4. Mitt.

Thiomorpholine as well as alkyl substituted thiomorpholines and their Sdioxides, respectively, are transformed into the corresponding N-Aminothiomorpholines by nitrosation (1–5) followed by the reduction with zinc in acetic acid/acetic acid anhydride under simultaneous formation of the corresponding N-acetyl derivates, and hydrolysis by hydrochloric acid (6–9). Examples of this method are described. 4-Aminothiomorpholines and their Sdioxides react with aldehydes or ketones to give azomethines (10–31). Acylation with mono-and dicarbonic acid chlorides leads to the N-acyl derivatives32–44.Mannich condensation is also possible. By oxidation with yellow mercury oxide tetracenes are formed (46–47).
