Cu(I) mediated one-pot synthesis of azobenzenes from bis-Boc aryl hydrazines and aryl halides

N,N^′-bis-Boc aryl hydrazines underwent Cu(I) catalyzed couplings with aryl halides to provide N,N^′-bis-Boc diaryl hydrazines. The resulting N,N^′-bis-Boc diaryl hydrazines are readily oxidized to the azobenzenes in the presence of Cu(I) and a base. A prolonged heating of the initial coupling reactions directly provides the corresponding azobenzenes in one pot.

The structure of these products was confirmed by IR, NMR(¹H, ¹³C, ³¹P) spectroscopy and mass spectra.     

Hydrazines in the synthesis of N-substituted 1,5,3-dithiazocan-3-amines catalyzed by Ti and Cu compounds

Efficient preparation method was developed for N-aryl(benzyl, alkyl)-1,5,3-dithiazocan-3-amines consisting in the transamination of 3-tert-butyl-1,5,3-dithiazocane with aryl(benzyl)hydrazines, and also in the reaction of N ¹,N ¹,N ⁷,N ⁷-tetramethyl-2,6-dithiaheptane-1,7-diamine with aryl(benzyl, alkyl)hydrazines in the presence of catalytic amounts of Ti and Cu compounds.     

Access to the 2,3-dihydropyridazin-3-one and as-triazino[3,4-a]phthalazine ring systems from 4-aryl-2-oxo-butanoic acids

A novel series of 2,3-dihydropyridazin-3-ones 15 were synthesized via condensation between hydrazines and 4-(p-chlorophenyl)-2-hydroxy-2-(2-oxo-2-substituted ethyl)butanoic acids 8 which in turn were prepared by the reaction of substituted benzylpyruvic acids 6 with methyl alkyl(aryl) ketones 7. Dehydration of 8b-d by a mixture of glacial acetic acid and hydrochloric acid afforded 4-(p-chorophenyl)-2-(substituted phenacyl)-2-butenoic acids 10. Condensation reaction of 10 with hydrazines gave type 15 compounds in good yields. Also, a new series of as-triazino[3,4-a]phthalazines 20 was obtained from the reaction of substituted benzylpyruvic acids 6 with hydralazine to give the hydralazones 19 which underwent dehydrative cyclization reaction with PPA to afford 20. Structure assignments are based on ¹H, ¹³C nmr and ir spectra.     

Cu-catalyzed direct C–H amination of 2-alkylazaarenes with azodicarboxylates via nucleophilic addition

An efficient Cu-catalyzed C–H amination of 2-alkylazaarenes with azodicarboxylates has been developed through nucleophilic addition of sp³C–H bond to unsaturated nitrogen–nitrogen double bond. It provides an easy access to azaarene-containing hydrazines from simple and easily available starting materials.

Novel N¹-(phosphoryl moiety)-N²-(1,2,4-triazin-3-yl)hydrazines 4, 6, 8, 9 and 12, iminophosphorane 3, iminophosphane 5, 1,2,4-triazinyldiazaphospholine 7, 1,2,4,3-triazaphospholinotriazines 2, 10, 11, and 1,2,4-triazino[3,2-c][1,2,4,5] triazaphosphine 13 have been obtained via treatment 5,6-bis(4-bromophenyl)-3-hydrazino-1,2,4-triazine (1) with various polyfunctional phosphorus reagents by stirring at room temperature or refluxing for long time in tetrahydrofuran. Structures of these compounds have been deduced upon the basis of elemental and spectral data. Molluscicidal activity of the prepared compounds against Biomphalaria Alexandrina snails (the intermediate host of Schistosoma mansoni) showed considerable activities.

Barriers to rotation and inversion in acyclic alkylhydrazines

Stereodynamics of acyclic hydrazines is reviewed. The energy barriers to the conformational interconversions in acyclic alkyl-hydrazines, which were observed by DNMR spectroscopy, are listed together with their assignment. The following points are emphasized: (1) The existence of two types of nitrogen inversions (the passing and the nonpassing N-inversion) in acyclic hydrazines has been confirmed: (2) the barrier to the single-passing rotation about the NN bond has recently been unambiguously determined in several hydrazines. The SCF-MO ab-initio calculations of tetramethylhydrazine have shown that the transition state of the single-passing rotation about the NN bond is in the vicinity of the conformation in which the torsion angle C-N-N-C is about 140°.     

Synthesis of N′-substituted Ddz-protected hydrazines and their application in solid phase synthesis of aza-peptides

Hydrazine derivatives are of considerable scientific and industrial value. Substituted hydrazines are precursors for many compounds of great interest and importance, among them aza-peptides. (Aza-peptides are peptide analogues in which one or more of the α-carbons, bearing the side chain residues, has been replaced by a nitrogen atom.) Aza-amino acid residues conserve the pharmacophores necessary for biological activity while inducing conformational changes and increased resistance to proteolytic degradation. These properties make aza-peptides attractive tools for structure-activity relationship studies and drug design. We describe the synthesis of N′-substituted 2-(3,5-dimethoxyphenyl)propan-2-yloxycarbonyl (Ddz) protected hydrazines. A general approach for solid phase synthesis of aza-peptides has been developed based on the in-situ activation of the N-Ddz,N′-substituted hydrazines with phosgene, followed by introduction to the N-terminus of a resin-bound peptide. The Ddz-aza-amino building units include aliphatic, aromatic and functionalized side chains, protected for synthesis by the Fmoc strategy. Solid phase aza-peptide synthesis is demonstrated including selective mild deprotection of Ddz with Mg(ClO₄)₂ and coupling of the next amino acid with triphosgene. Ddz deprotection is orthogonal with the Fmoc and Boc protecting groups, making the solid phase Ddz-aza-peptide synthesis compatible with both the Fmoc and the Boc strategies. The Ddz-protected hydrazines have wide applications in the synthesis of substituted hydrazines and in the synthesis of aza containing peptidomimetics.     

Synthesis of 1,6-dihydro-5-hydroxy-6-oxo-3-(trifluoromethyl)-4-pyridazinecarboxylates

The reaction of 2-(alkylamino)-3-(trifluoroacetyl)butenedioates 2a-b with alkyl and aryl hydrazines in ether provides 1,6-dihydro-6-oxo-3-(trifluoromethyl)-4-pyridazinecarboxylates as their alkylamine salts 3a-g . The structures of these products are substantiated using 2D nmr and ¹⁵N nmr techniques.     

NMR spectroscopic investigations with ethyl 1-(hetero)aryl-5-hydroxy-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxylates

The synthesis of a series of ethyl N-1-(hetero)aryl-5-hydroxy-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxylates by reaction of diethyl ethoxymethylenemalonate with the appropriate hydrazines is described. According to nmr-spectro-scopic investigations (¹H- and ¹³C-nmr) the title compounds exist as 5-hydroxy tautomers in deuteriochlo-roform as well as in deuteriodimethyl sulfoxide solution.     

Acidity of di- and triprotected hydrazine derivatives in dimethyl sulfoxide and aspects of their alkylation

The pK(a) values in DMSO for 22 di- and triprotected hydrazine NH acids and two monosubstituted hydrazines have been determined using potentiometric titration. The results of density functional theory calculations at the B3LYP/6-311+G level of gas-phase acidities of a representative selection of mono-, di-, and trisubstituted hydrazines are compared with both the relevant published and novel experimental titration data. In the course of this work, a rough estimation of the pK(a) value of hydrazine in DMSO (ca. 38.0) has been deduced. For typical triprotected compounds of this kind containing moderately electron-withdrawing carbamate and imidodicarbonate or arenesulfonylcarbamate functions the pK(a) values fall in the range 15.1-17.3, whereas for N,N'-diprotected hydrazines with a carbamate and an aromatic sulfonyl group the corresponding values are 12.7-14.5. Several of these triprotected derivatives have recently been applied preparatively in stepwise synthesis of substituted hydrazines using alkyl halides as electrophiles in the presence of a phase transfer catalyst, and a few of them, with varying success, have been examined in model experiments with benzyl alcohol, triphenylphosphine, and diethyl azodicarboxylate in the Mitsunobu reaction. The dependence of the reactivity on the intrinsic acidity of the hydrazines in this reaction is highlighted. Furthermore, the regioselective alkylation of an N,N'-diprotected hydrazine can be rationalized on the basis of the presented data.     

Utility of 3-Chlorobenzothiophene-2-Carbonylisothiocyanate for the Synthesis of Some Novel Biheterocycles of Expected Biological Activity

The behavior of 3-chlorobenzothiophene-2-carbonylisothiocyanate 2 towards nitrogen nucleophiles such as primary amines, substituted hydrazines, aryl hydrazines, glycine, anthranilic acid; sulfur nucleophiles such as thioglycolic acid; and oxygen nucleophiles such as substituted phenols has been investigated and found that it proceeds via isothiocyanate heterocyclization to furnish noncondensed heterocyclic compounds containing thiourea, triazole, oxazole, thiazole, and benzoxazole nuclei besides the benzo[b]thiophene nucleus. The structures of the newly synthesized compounds were elucidated on the basis of IR, ¹H NMR, and mass spectral data of the compounds, and they have been screened for antimicrobial, analgesic, and anti-inflammatory activities.

Synthesis of 1-phenyi-1H-tetrazolo[4,5-d]tetrazole and 5-aryl-1-(4-bromophenyl)-1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-d]tetrazoles

l-Phenyl-lH-tetrazol-5-yIhydrazine (2) was reacted with nitrous acid to yield 1-phenyl-lH-tetrazolo[4,5-d]tetrazole (3). l-Arylidene-2-(l-phenyl-lH-tetrazol-5-yl)hydrazines (4) were generally reactive towards electrophilic reagents. When treated with bromine in acetic acid, 4 yielded mixtures of 1-arylidene-2-[1-(4-bromophenyl)-lH-tetrazol-5-yl]hydrazines (5a-d) and 2-[1-(4-bromophenyl)-lH-tetrazol-5-yl]hydrazidic bromides (6a-d). Solvolysis of 6a-d in aqueous acetone yielded 5-aryl-1-(4-bromophenyl)-1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-d]tetrazoles (7a-d). The structures of the synthesized compounds were confirmed on the basis of elemental analysis, IR and ¹H NMR data.     

Rhodium(III)‐Catalyzed CH Activation and Indole Synthesis With Hydrazone as an Auto‐Formed and Auto‐Cleavable Directing Group

An efficient, practical, and external‐oxidant‐free indole synthesis from readily available aryl hydrazines was developed, by using hydrazone as a directing group for Rh^III‐catalyzed C?H activation and alkyne annulation. The hydrazone group was formed by in situ condensation of hydrazines and C?O source, whereas its N?N bond was served as an internal oxidant, for which we termed it as an auto‐formed and auto‐cleavable directing group (DG^auto). This method needs no step for pre‐installation and post‐cleavage of the directing group, making it a quite easily scalable approach to access unprotected indoles with high step economy. The DG^auto strategy was also applicable for isoquinoline synthesis. In addition, synthetic utilities of this chemistry for rapid assembly of π‐extended nitrogen‐doped polyheterocycles and bioactive molecules were demonstrated.     

Recyclizations of 2‐aminobenzylimines and thioaroylhydrazones of N‐substituted N‐hydroxy‐3‐oxobutanamides

A universal scheme is proposed for the molecular design of heterocyclic recyclizations by replacing the exocyclic hydroxyl groups in exo‐trig‐ ring‐chain tautomeric molecules with substituted amines or hydrazines. The practical applicability of this approach is demonstrated by the condensations of 5‐hydroxy‐5‐methyl‐3‐isoxazolidinones with thioaroyl‐hydrazines and 2‐aminomethylaniline. The condensation products were studied by modern ¹H, ¹³C and ¹⁵N NMR spectroscopic methods using three solvents: CDC1₃, DMSO[D₆] and CD₃CN. The solvent was found to have a strong effect to the relative amounts of the tautomers.     

N″-sulphonylformamidrazones; preparation and characterisation

N′-Sulphonylformamidrazones have been prepared in good yields from the reaction between N-sulphonylformimidates and di- or tri-substituted hydrazines.The actual tautomeric form present has been shown to be a hydrazide imide by ¹³C NMR spectroscopy. ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectra showed the existence of a cis and a trans isomer in solution, arising from hindered rotation around the CN¹ bond.     

5-Hydrazino-2-pyrazolines

1-Acyl-5-hydrazino-2-pyrazolines have been obtained by reaction of the appropriate hydrazines with aliphatic 1,3-diketones, 1-acyl-5-hydroxy-2-pyrazolines, and 1-acyl-5-methylene-2-pyrazolines. The latter were synthesized by acylating 3,4,4,5-tetramethyl-4H-pyrazole with carboxylic anhydrides. The structures of the products were established by ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 9, pp. 1210–1218, September, 1987.     

Synthesis and Molecular Structure Characterization of Novel 1,6-Diazahexatrienes

Novel 1,6-diazahexatrienes (1a–d) are a type of aza-conjugated hexatriene containing N,N-diamino moieties. We present the oxidative dimerization of 1,1,2-trisubstituted hydrazines as a synthetic approach to 1,6-diazahexatriene derivatives, rather than the expected pyrazine and pyridazine. The proposed mechanism for formation of 1a–d involves oxidative dimerization of 1,1,2-trisubstituted hydrazines via their hydrazones. The structures of 1a–d were characterized by ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, and mass spectroscopy. A detailed discussion regarding the character of the three-dimensional structure of 1 is based on x-ray crystallography.

Structure assignment are based on ¹H and ¹³C nmr spectra.
