Reaktion von 2-(N-Alkyl-p-hydroxyanilino)-1,4-benzochinonen Diazomethan. N-(Alkyl-p-hydroxyanilino)-4,7-indazolchinone und ihre isomeren N-Methylderivate

The reaction of N-alkyl-p-hydroxyanilinobenzoquinones1 a–d, its acetylderivatives1 ₁–c₁ and the methoxyderivative1 a₂ with diazomethan yields in dependence on the reaction-conditions the indazolquinones2 a–d, 2 a₁–c₁ or2a ₂, the1-methylindazolquinones3 a–d and3 ₁–c₁, and finally the methoxy-1-methylindazolquinones5 a–d. The 2-methyl-isomeres6 a–d are formed only in small amounts. Methylation of2 a with dimethylsulfate gives5 a and6 a in the ratio of appr 2 to 1. Acetylation of2 a–d with acetanhydride leads to the N–O-acetylderivatives, which are easily hydrolyzed to2 a₁–d₁ during work up;3 a d yields3 a₁–d₁. The structures are established by the described crossexperiments and by spectroscopy (UV/VIS, IR, NMR).

1,3-Dipolar cycloadditions of heterocycles 1. Cycloadditions ofC-benzoyl-N-phenylnitrone to furan

A frontier orbital treatment of furan suggests its possible reactivity in 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions with dipoles posessing low lying LUMO's, such as nitrones, especially those with electronwithdrawing substituents. By the reaction ofC-benzoyl-N-phenylnitrone1a with an excess of furan at 60° the monocycloadduct2a, two biscycloadducts4 and5 and further reaction products of nitrone such as azoxybenzene8, diketoamide9a, benzoanilide10a, benzoic acid11a and phenyl glyoxylic acid12 were isolated. The cycloaddition ofC-(4-bromobenzoyl)-N-phenylnitrone1b with furan is also reported.Part CXXXVI in the series Furan Derivatives; Part CXXXV: Coll. Czech. Chem. Commun., in press.     

Umsetzung von phosphororganischen CH-aciden Verbindungen mitSchiffschen Basen in Gegenwart saurer und basischer Katalysatoren, 7. Mitt.: Umsetzung von Estern der p-Brom-benzylphosphonsäure in Gegenwart von Natriumamid und Aluminiumchlorid

The esters of p-bromobenzylphosphonic acid (1) react withSchiff bases (2) in the presence of 0.5 mols of NaNH₂ in ether at –33° and 10° as well as in liquid ammonia to give esters of 2-arylamino-2-aryl-1-(p-bromophenyl)-ethanephosphonic acids (3 and4) in 33–78% yields. In many cases and particularly in liquid ammonia and in ether at 10° the olefin5 is formed along with the adducts3 and4. In a low extent1 a and2 a react also in the presence of AlCl₃ to form3 a in 20% yield. The stereochemistry of the reaction is studied by thin layer chromatography, and the reactivity of1 is compared with that of the esters of benzylphosphonic acid.     

Reductivetrans-2,6-diallylation of pyridines with allylboranes. Synthesis oftrans- andcis-2,6-diallyl-1,2,5,6-tetrahydropyridines and their deuterated derivatives

The reductivetrans-2,6-diallylation of pyridines with triallyl- and allyl(dialkyl)boranes has been discovered. Heating (40–100 °C) of pyridine, deuteropyridine, or 3-bromopyridine complexes with triallylborane in the presence of alcohols (ROH or CH₃OD), water, or Et₂NH results in the respectivetrans-2,6-diaIlyl-1,2,5,6-tetrahydropyridines (2,3,22, or25) in 20–97 % yields. A preparative method for the isomerization oftrans-2,6-diallyl compounds2 and25 into the respectivecis-isomers4 and28 by heating them with triallyl- or allyl(dialkyl)boranes (125–150 °C) has been suggested. The hydrogenation oftrans- orcis-2,6-diallyl-1,2,5,6-tetrahydropyridines gavetrans- orcis-2,6-dipropylpiperidines, respectively. Thecis- andtrans-configurations of compounds2 and4 were established by analyzing the NMR spectra ofN-benzyl (7 and13) andN,N-dimethyl (6 and 14) derivatives of piperidine derivatives5 and8. A possible mechanism for the reductive diallylation of pyridines has been discussed.Translated fromIzyestiya Akademii Nauk.

Summary Reactions ofcis-2-(4-methylbenzoyl)-cyclopropane- (1) and-cyclobutanecarboxylic acids (2), the stereoisomeric cyclohexyl homologues (3 and4), and di-endo-3-(4-methylbenzoyl)-bi-cyclo-[2.2.1]heptane-2-carboxylic acid (5) with hydrazines yield the cycloalkane-condensed (3(2H)-pyridazinones6–9 and the norbornane di-endo-fused derivatives10. With hydroxylamine, compounds1 and3–5 were transformed to the cycloalkane- and norbornane-condensed 1,2-oxazin-6-ones11–14. Transformation of3–5 led to thetrans-hexahydroanthrone17a and its methylene-bridged analogue24. From the stereoisomeric hexahydro-1(3H)-isobenzofuranones20 and21, the partly saturated anthrones were also prepared; the products (16b and17b) contain the methyl substituent in position 6. On reduction,16b yield the 2-methyloctahydroanthracene22. The structures of the compounds were proved by¹H and¹³C NMR spectroscopy, making use of NOE, DEPT, and CH-COSY techniques.

Ozonolysis of olefins VIII. Synthesis of phenoxyacetaldehydes by ozonolysis of allylphenylethers

Summary A new route for the preparation of a series of phenoxyacetaldehydes (2a–j) which are useful intermediates or products, is described. It starts from the easily available allylphenylethers1a–j which are ozonized at –40 °C and further treated with dimethylsulfide to give solutions of the corresponding phenoxyacetaldehydes2a–j; these are purified by column chromatography. Reaction of2a–j with 1-methyl-1-phenylhydrazine leads to the corresponding hydrazones3a–c,3e–g,3i, and3j. The aldehydes can also be transformed into the stable dimethylcetals4a,4e,4h, and4i by reaction with trimethyl orthoformate.

The chemiluminescence of dispiro(1,2-dioxetane-diadamantane) sorbed on silipore activated by a phenanthroline complex of Eu(iii)

The thermal decomposition of dispiro(1,2-dioxetane-diadamantane) (1) sorbed on silipore containing EuCl₃ ando-phenanthroline was investigated. The observed chemiluminescence is caused by radiative deactivation of EU^*(iii) formed according to an energy transfer mechanism. Chemiluminescence decay in the course of the decomposition of1 is exponential with the rate constantk. The activation parameters of the decomposition of1 sorbed on silipore were determined from the temperature dependence ofk. These parameters are independent of the Eu(iii) content. A kinetic compensating effect was found: the dependence of logA onE _a as a function of the content of1. The mechanism of the compensating effect is discussed.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Summary 2-Phenylthio-1,4-benzoquinone (1 a) reacts with azomethine ylide AY-A to give 2-methyl-5-phenylthio-2H-isoindole-4,7-dione (4 f). With 2-(N-methylanilino)-5-methyl-1,4-benzoquinone (1 b), the azomethine ylide AY-B undergoes cycloaddition to yield an inseparable mixture of 5a-methyl-8-(N-methylanilino)-2,3,5,5a,9a,9b-hexahydro-pyrrolo[2,1-a]1H-isoindole-6,9-dione (5 bI) and 9a-methyl-7-(N-methylanilino)-2,3,5,5a,9a,9b-hexahydropyrrolo[2,1-a]1H-isoindole-6,9-dione (5 bII). The structures of5 bI and5 bII were established on basis of two-dimensional-NMR-techniques. The mechanism of the cycloaddition of azomethine ylides to 1,4-quinones was studied on basis of cyclovoltammetric investigations. To determine the electron affinity of the isoindoledione derivatives4 a–f and5 a–b the peak potentials were measured by differential pulse polarography (DPP).

     

Vibrational frequencies and force constants of N2O4 in complexes with molecules of different solvents determined by Raman spectra andAb initio calculation

The Raman spectra of N₂O₄ solutions in organic solvents have been recorded. The frequencies ofv ₁,v ₂, andv ₃ bands of N₂O₄ increase with increasing solvent electron-donor properties. Especially large changes ofv ₃ N-N stretching band have been observed (254.5 cm^–1 in n-hexane, 276.5 cm^–1 in 1,4-dioxane). The ab initio calculations have shown that the interaction between N₂O₄ and electron-donor molecules causes an increase of N-N and N-O stretching and O-N-O bending force constants of N₂O₄ in agreement with the results of Raman study.     

Zur Synthese und Struktur derp-Indazolchinone und ihrer Methylierungsprodukte Untersuchungen über Chinone, 8. Mitt.

Summary Thep-benzoquinones5e-j react with diazomethane (after dehydrogenation) to 6-anilino-2e, dimethylamino-2h, phenylthio-2i, and methylthioindazolquinone2j. Methylation with dimethylsulfate of these as well as of the already known indazolquinones 6-toluidino-2f, 6-methylanilino-2g, 5-tert.butyl-2m, 5,6-methyl- (isomer mixture)2l,n, and benz-indazolquinone2o yield the 1-and 2-N-methyl derivatives3 and4. The structure of the 2-methyl derivatives is established by reaction of the corresponding benzoquinones with 3-methylsydnon in the case of4e,4g. UV/VIS-, IR- and¹H-NMR-spectroscopy (in CDCl₃ andDMSO) were used for structure determination. Comparison of the UV/VIS-spectra of2–4 shows that the indazolquinones are existing as 2 H-4,7-diones. For the structure elucidation of the 1- rs. 2-methylderivatives (whichh can be attributed to the methylation products) NMR-spectroscopy is well suited even without knowing the second isomer (solvent-effect). The course of the reaction of quinones with diazomethane and of the methylation reactions of the indazolquinones is discussed.

Synthesis and Structures of New Enaminones

Two isomeric enaminones were obtained by reaction of ethyl 2-hydroxy-4-(4-hydroxy-6-methyl2H-pyran-2-on-3-yl)-4-oxo-2-butenoate (1) and amines (aniline, benzylamine, butylamine and tyramine) in ethanol. The structures of isomers were studied by ¹³C and ¹H NMR spectra, whereas in the case of isomers 2b, 3a, and 4a (Scheme 1), the crystal structures have been determined by single crystal X-ray diffractometry. The compounds 2b and 3a exist in the solid state as N–C=C–C=O, whereas 4a is in the N–C=C–C–OH tautomeric form (Scheme 2, form A and B, respectively). All three structures exhibit very short intramolecular hydrogen bonds of O–H···O [in the range 2.396(3) – 2.448(3) Å] and N–H···O [in the range 2.580(5) – 2.679(3) Å] type, that are reinforced by delocalization. The crystal structures are in addition stabilized by C–H···O weak hydrogen bonds. In 2b and 3a, the discrete dimers are formed by eight-membered ring containing hydrogen bonds; in 4a, the infinite chains along [1 0 1] direction are formed.     

Stereoselective epoxidation of 2-arylidene-1-indanones and 2-arylidene-1-benzosuberones

Summary Oxidation of the (E) and (Z) isomers of 2-arylidene-1-indanones (1) and 2-arylidene-1-benzosuberones (4) by alkaline hydrogen peroxide (methodi) afforded the spiroepoxidestrans-2a–g andtrans-5a–g from both isomers as sole products in high yields. On the other hand, dimethyldioxirane epoxidation(methodii) of the (E) isomers1a–g and4a–g gave the correspondingtrans spiroepoxides in good yields, whereas the (Z) isomers1a,c,e and4a,c,e led to thecis spiroepoxides in moderate yields. Dimethyldioxirane oxidation (methodii) of (Z)-1c and (Z)-4c,e gave diones3c and6c,e as by-products as well. Epoxidation of (Z)-1a,c,e and (Z)-4a,c,e bym-chloroperoxybenzoic acid (methodiii) resulted inca. 6:1 mixtures ofcis-2a,c,e andtrans-2a,c,e orcis-5a,c,e andtrans-5a,c,e spiroepoxides.Dedicated to Prof.W.

Reaction of trimethylaluminum with calixarenes. I. Synthesis and structure of [Calix[8]arene methyl ether] [AlMe3]6·2 toluene and of [p-tert-butylcalix[8]arene methyl ether] [AlMe3]6·4 benzene

Reaction of the methyl ether of calix[8]arene with AlMe₃ yields [calix[8]arene methyl ether] [AlMe₃]₆·2 toluene,1, while that ofp-tert-butylcalix[8]arene gives [p-tert-butylcalix[8]arene methyl ether] [AlMe₃]₆·4 benzene,2. Both compounds1 and2 fail to react with alkali metal salts, MX. In1, the absence of a butylpara-substituent affords greater flexibility than is the case for thetert-butyl compound2. Thus, all six of the AlMe₃ groups are located on the outside of the macrocyclic ring (in projection) in1, but two AlMe₃ units are found on the inside in2. Colorless, air-sensitive crystals of1 belong to the triclinic space group witha=13.690(8),b=14.317(4),c=14.738(6) Å, =76.11(3), =62.36(4), =82.41(4)^o, andD _c =1.06 g cm^–3 forZ=1. Refinement led toR=0.101 for 1154 observed reflections.2 crystallizes in with =12.400(6),b=16.229(8),c=19.251(5) Å, =96.17(3), =107.25(3), =101.54(3)^o, andD _c =1.01 g cm^–3 forZ=1. Refinement of2 gaveR=0.128 for 4351 observed reflections. The macrocyclic array in both1 and2 lies about a crystallographic center of inversion.

Stereochemie von Metallocenen, 42. Mitt.: Optisch aktives π-Fluorenon-tricarbonylchrom — Darstellung,enantiomere REinheit,absolute Konfiguration und Versuche zur Racemisierung

Racemic Fluorenone-Cr(CO)₃ (1) was prepared from fluorenone ethyleneketal by complexation with Cr(CO)₆ and subsequent cleavage of the dioxolane9. Asymmetric reduction of1 with a chiral Lithium hydride afforded both (+)-1 and the correspondingendo-carbinol (–)-7 a with optical yields up to 80% as established by the use of chiral nmr shiftreagents. Active1 could also be obtained by two other asymmetric reactions albeit with low optical yields. LiAlH₄–AlCl₃ reduction of (+)-1 gave traces of (+)-fluorene-Cr(CO)₃ (2).The absolute chirality of (+)-1 was deduced as (S) by application of the abovementioned asymmetric reduction to ferroceno indenone (11) of known configuration and byHoreau's method to (–)-7 a. Several attempts to racemize1 failed, which proves that no transanular shift of Cr(CO)₃ takes place. The CD spectra of1 and2 are reported.Some side reactions such as the reduction of7 a to2 with Cr(CO)₆ in dibutylether (leading also to the formation of isomeric dimethylbenchrotrenes from the solvent) and the formation of a binuclear complex14 between1 and2 are briefly reported.
