new simple and one-pot synthetic routes to polyfunctionally substituted imidazo-[1,2-a]pyridines, pyrido[1,2-a]pyrimidines, pyrido-[1,2-a]-1,3-diazepines, and imidazo[1,2-a]pyrimidines

Reactions of arylidenemalononitriles with 2-nitromethylene-substituted imidazolidine, hexahydropyrimidine, and hexahydro-1,3-diazepine afforded the title derivatives. Reaction of 2-nitromethylenehexahydropyrimidine with benzylamine or n-butylamine and formalin in a molar ratio of 1:1:2 gave the hexahydro-1H-imidazo[1,2-c]pyrimidine derivatives. Treatment of 2-nitromethyleneimidazolidine and hexahydropyrimidine with secondary aliphatic amines and formalin in a molar ratio of 1:1:1 afforded the corresponding methylene bis-compounds.

Synthesis of acenaphtho[1,2-x]heterocycles and spiro[acenaphthylene 1-isoxazoles]

Methyl (Z)-(1,2-dihydro-2-oxo-1-acenaphthylenylidene)acetate 1 gives with hydroxylamine the oximes 2 and the pyrrole derivative 4 , whereas with hydrazines affords the pyridazinones 5 and 6 . A pyridazine derivative 8 is also isolated from the reaction of (1,2-dihydro-2-oxo-1-acenaphthylenylidene)acetone 7 with hydrazine hydrate. Reaction between the spiro-derivative 9 and hydroxylamine hydrochloride gives oxime 10 , whereas Wittig olefination of 9 with ylide 11 yields compound 12 which by reaction with 2,4,6-trimethylbenzonitrile oxide ( 13 ) affords the dispiro-derivatives 14 . Finally from the reaction of acenaphthylene-1,2-quinone ( 17 ) with the bisylide 16 the acenaphtho[1,2-c]thiophene ( 18 ) is formed.     

Flash vacuum thermolysis of dispiro[2.2.n.2]alkadienes

The Flash Vacuum Thermolysis (FVT) of dispiro[2.2.6.2]-tetradeca-4,13-diene (7a), dispiro[2.2.5.2]trideca-4,12-diene (7b) and dispiro[2.2.2.2]deca-4,9-diene (7e) at 500 – 750 °C is reported. The complicated reaction mixture from 7a and 7b (Scheme 3) included at lower temperatures vinylspiroalkadienes 9, ethylidenespiroalkadiene 10b, β-ethylcycloalkabenzenes 11, while at higher temperatures, p-n-alkyl- (5) and p-sec-alkylstyrenes 14 and p-divinylbenzene (15) dominated. Product formation is explained by invoking diradicals 8, 6 and 12 as well as the cyclophanes 1 and 13 as intermediates. For 7e, the product mixture was less complicated and consisted of p-ethylstyrene (5e), 15 and, unexpectedly, p-isopropylstyrene (14e) which contains one carbon more than the starting material. The analysis and interpretation of product formation largely confirms previously suggested reaction pathways and furnishes further interesting details. However, new and unexpected features are also encountered, especially in the fragmentations of 1 and 13 which may stimulate future investigations on the thermal behaviour of these relatively simple hydrocarbons.

An efficient and simple synthesis of ferrocenyl 3-aminoimidazo[1,2-a]pyridines by the three-component reaction of ferrocenecarboxaldehyde, isocyanides, and 2-aminopyridines in the presence of a catalytic amount of InCl₃ in ethanol at room temperature is reported.     

Flash vacuum thermolysis of 1,5-Bis-(1-chloroethenyl)anthracene. The thermal conversion of cyclopent[hi]aceanthrylene into cyclopent[hi]acephenanthrylene

Flash Vacuum Thermolysis of 1,5-bis-(1-chloroethenyl)anthracene (6) gives cyclopent[hi]-aceanthrylene (2) which at T≥9000 °C rearranges to cyclopent[hi]acephenanthrylene (1). This conversion occurs more readily than that of the monocyclopenta-fused aceanthrylene to acephenanthrylene.

1,2,4-Triazolo[1,2-a]benzotriazoles: first examples of a novel ring system

-Benzotriazolylamides 6a–d afforded N-(benzotriazol-1-ylmethyl)arylimidoyl chlorides (4a–d), which reacted in situ with potassium tert-butoxide to form 3-aryl-1,2,4-triazolo[1,2-a]benzotriazoles (7a–d) (44–68%), representatives of a novel heterocyclic system. The structure of 7a was confirmed by single crystal X-ray analysis.     

Synthesis of imidazo[4,5-a]acridones and imidazo[4,5-a]acridines as potential antibacterial agents

Abstract  

New imidazo[4,5-a]acridone derivatives were synthesized from the rearrangement of 3H-imidazo[4′,5′:3,4]benzo[c]isoxazoles. New imidazo[4,5-a]acridines were obtained from the reaction of imidazo[4,5-a]acridones in boiling POCl₃. All of these compounds exhibited antimicrobial activities comparable to streptomycin as reference drug.     

New Pyrrolo[1,2-a]azepine Type Alkaloids from Stemona and Stichoneuron (Stemonaceae)

Summary. Three new pyrroloazepine type alkaloids, stichoneurines A and B and 6-hydroxycroomine were isolated from the lipophilic root extracts of Stichoneuron caudatum and Stemona tuberosa collected in Thailand together with the already known croomine, tuberostemonine, and tuberostemonine A. The structures were elucidated by spectroscopic methods including H/H-COSY, HMQC, and HMBC. Information on the relative stereochemistries and conformational behaviour was obtained by analysis of the NOESY spectra. The formation of pyrroloazepine alkaloids in the genus Stichoneuron is reported for the first time and supports its affiliation to the family Stemonaceae. The occurrence of two different types of alkaloids, of the tuberostemonine and croomine series, in different geographical provenances of Stemona tuberosa is of special chemosystematic interest and may contribute to a more natural species delimitation within that complex group.

Contributions to syntheses of pyrrolo[2,1-a]phthalazines

Abstract  

Structural elucidation of the dihydro derivatives obtained as by-products in the classic salt method synthesis of pyrrolo[2,1-a]phthalazines and acetylenic dipolarophiles was achieved by X-ray diffraction analysis of a representative compound. In addition, new pyrrolo[2,1-a]phthalazines were obtained by a one-pot three-component reaction that avoids the formation of the dihydro derivative intermediates.

Abstract  

ZnO nanorods were synthesized using a novel and solvent-free procedure and their catalytic activity in the preparation of imidazo[1,2-a]azines and diazines was studied. The effects of the amount of catalyst and its reusability were investigated to optimize the reaction conditions. The ZnO nanorods exhibited higher catalytic activity than that of bulk ZnO.
