Furopyridines. XX. Wittig-horner reaction of a phosphonate of reissert analogues of furo[3,2-c]-, -[2,3-c]- and -[3,2-b]pyridines

Furo[3,2-c]-( 1a ), -[2,3-c]- ( 1b ) and -[3,2-b]pyridine ( 1c ) were reacted with isopropyl chloroformate and trimethyl phosphite to give dimethyl 5-isopropoxycarbonyl-4,5-dihydrofuro[3,2-c]pyridine-4-phosphonate ( 2a ), dimethyl 6-isopropoxycarbonyl-6,7-dihydrofuro[2,3-c]pyridine-7-phosphonate ( 2b ) and dimethyl 4-isopropoxycarbonyl-4,7-dihydrofuro[3,2-b]pyridine-7-phosphonate ( 2c ) as unstable syrups. Reaction of 2b and 2c with n-butyllithium and then with benzaldehyde, p-methoxybenzaldehyde, p-cyanobenzalde-hyde or propionaldehyde afforded the normal Wittig reaction products 5b-H, 5b-OMe, 5b-CN, 5b-Et, 5c-H, 5c-H, 5c-OMe and 5c-CN , except for 2b with propionaldehyde. While, the same reactions of compound 2a and the reaction of 2b with propionaldehyde afforded the unexpected products, 5-isopropoxycar-bonylfuro[3,2-c]pyridinio-4-aryl-(or ethyl)methoxides 3a-H, 3a-OMe, 3a-CN and 3a-Et , 4-(1′-aryl(or ethyl)-1′-hydroxymethyl)furo[3,2-c]pyridines 4a-H, 4a-OMe, 4a-CN and 4a-Et accompanying formation of the normal products. Treatment of the normal Wittig reaction products with lithium diisopropylamide and then with acetone gave the derivatives alkylated at the 2-or the benzylic positions.     

Furopyridines. XV . Synthesis and properties of ethyl 2-(3-furo[2,3-b]-, -[3,2-b]-, -[2,3-c]- and -[3,2-c]pyridyl)acetate

Ethyl 2-(3-furopyridyl)acetates 10a-d were synthesized from furopyridin-3(2H)-ones 4a-d by the Wittig-Horner reaction with diethyl cyanomethylphosphonate, hydrolysis and the subsequent esterification. Reaction of compounds 10a-d with lithium diisopropylamide (IDA) gave the corresponding methylene-lithiated intermediate, and the subsequent reaction with benzaldehyde, acetone and iodomethane afforded the methylene-alkylated product respectively, while N,N-dimethylacetamide did not give any reaction product. The 2-position of 10a, b and d is alkylated by the lithiation with excess of LDA and the successive reaction with an electrophile.

New ways of synthesis of 1,2-dithiole-3-thione

Two new synthetic approaches to 1,2-dithiole-3-thione are proposed. The title compound is formed by thermolysis of dipropyl polysulfides (n-Pr)₂S_x (x = 3–4) and thermal decomposition of polysulfide dendrimers under reduced pressure. The latter reaction may be recommended for utilization of organochlorine waste products in the manufacture of epichlorohydrin, which are used for the synthesis of dendrimers.Translated from Zhurnal Obshchei Khimii, Vol. 74, No. 11, 2004, pp. 1884–1886.Original Russian Text Copyright © 2004 by Korchevin, Russavskaya, Yakimova, Deryagina.This revised version was published online in April 2005 with a corrected cover date.
