Halogenation of N-substituted <Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis>-quinone monoimines and <Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis>-quinone monooxime esters: VII. Halogenation of 4-aroyl(arylsulfonyl)imino- and 4-aroyl(arylsulfonyl)-oxyimino-2,6-diisopropylcyclohexa-2,5-dien-1-ones

Halogenation of 4-aroyl(arylsulfonyl)imino-2,6-diisopropylcyclohexa-2,5-dien-1-ones gave 4-aroyl-(arylsulfonyl)imino-3-halo-2,6-diisopropylcyclohexa-2,5-dien-1-ones and 4-aroyl(arylsulfonyl)imino-3,5,6-trihalo-2,6-diisopropylcyclohex-2-en-1-ones. The latter were formed as mixtures of two stereoisomers, and the isopropyl group on the sp ³-hybridized carbon atom in one stereoisomer occupies axial position, which is untypical of such compounds. Halogenation of 4-aroyl(arylsulfonyl)oxyimino-2,6-diisopropylcyclohexa-2,5-dien-1-ones leads to the formation of the corresponding addition products with traditional trans-diaxial arrangement of the halogen atoms.     

First synthesis of 4-(arylsulfonyl)phenols by regioselective [3+3] cyclocondensations of 1,3-bis(silyloxy)-1,3-butadienes with 2-arylsulfonyl-3-ethoxy-2-en-1-ones

The formal [3+3] cyclization of 1,3-bis(silyloxy)-1,3-butadienes with readily available 2-arylsulfonyl-3-ethoxy-2-en-1-ones resulted in regioselective formation of 4-(arylsulfonyl)phenols.     

Reaction of Polyhalo Semiquinoid Structures Originating from 4-Aroyl(arylsulfonyl)oximino-2,5-cyclohexadiene-1-ones with Arylsulfinic Acids

Stable semiquinoid structures, 4-aroyl(arylsulfonyl)oximino-2,6-dimethyl-5,6-dichloro-2-cyclohexen-1-ones, do not react with dialkyl phosphites, alcohols, tosylhydrazine, p-toluidine, and hydrazoic acid. In reactions with arylsulfinic acids occurs a nucleophilic substitution of chlorine at the sp ³-hybridized C⁵ carbon in the minor Z-isomer yielding 4-aroyl(arylsulfonyl)oximino-5-arylsulfonyl-2,6-dimethyl-6-chloro-2-cyclohexen-1-ones.     

Azabrendanes. I. Synthesis,structure and spectral parameters of N-(arylsulfonyl)-exo-2-hydroxy-4-azatricyclo[4.2.1.03,7]nonanes

A number of N-(arylsulfonyl)bicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-enendo-5-methylamines have been synthesized from bicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-en-endo-5-carbonitrile via reduction of the latter by lithium aluminum hydride and subsequent reactions of the resulting amine with arylsufonyl chlorides. The structures and stereochemical homogeneity of the products have been supported by the analysis of ¹H NMR spectra and by COSY-experiments. The reactions of the sulfonamides with peroxyphthalic acid are accompanied by intramolecular cyclizations and are completed by the formation of N-(arylsulfonyl)-exo-2-hydroxy-4-azatricyclo[4.2.1.0^3,7]nonanes. The structures of the substituted azabrendanes have been confirmed by spectral methods. The molecular structure of N-(p-methoxy-carbonylaminophenylsulfonyl)-exo-2-hydroxy-4-azatricyclo-[4.2.1.0^3,7]nonane 8j has been determined by X-ray diffraction analysis. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

Phosphorus pentasulfide and Lawesson reagent in synthesis of 1,3-thiazole-4-thiol derivatives

Available S-amidophenacylation products of thiols and sulfanylphenols on treatment with phosphorus pentasulfide or, which is better, Lawesson reagent convert into the corresponding 1,3-thiazole-4-thiol derivatives that are easily oxidized with hydrogen peroxide. The latter reaction was used to introduce a series of alkyl- or arylsulfonyl groups in the 4 position of the thiazole ring. This general approach significantly extends the limited range of synthetic procedures for 1,3-thiazole-4-thiol derivatives.Translated from Zhurnal Obshchei Khimii, Vol. 74, No. 9, 2004, pp. 1529–1533.Original Russian Text Copyright © 2004 by Belyuga, Brovarets, Drach.This revised version was published online in April 2005 with a corrected cover date.     

Synthesis of 1-Arylsulfonylpyrroles

The synthesis of 1-arylsulfonylpyrroles is normally accomplished by the condensation of an arylsulfonyl chloride with pyrrolylpotassium.¹ We wish to report a facile synthesis of 1-arylsulfonylpyrroles which is versatile, proceeds in moderate to good yield and eliminates the necessity of using pyrophoric potassium.     

Synthesis and Structure–Antitumor Activity Relationship of Sulfonyl 5-Fluorouracil Derivatives

Novel sulfonyl 5-fluorouracil derivatives 2 (5-fluoro-1-(arylsulfonyl)pyrimidine-2,4(1H,3H)-diones) have been synthesized via the reaction of 5-fluorouracil with sulfonyl chloride. Their chemical structures were confirmed by means of ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, IR, mass spectra, and elemental analyses, and, in the case of 2a, its structure was established by single crystal X-ray diffraction. Some of the compounds were assayed for anticancer (HL-60 and BEL-7402 cells) activities. Structure–activity relationship (SAR) analysis discovered that the anticancer activity was related to the configuration, and that electron-withdrawing groups at 2-position or 4-position on the aryl group of arylsulfonyl derivatives of 5-fluorouracil could enhance the anticancer activity against the BEL-7402 cells.

Synthesis of polymer-bound 4-acetoxy-3-phenylbenzaldehyde derivatives: applications in solid-phase organic synthesis

Aminomethyl polystyrene resin was reacted with 4-(5'-formyl-2'-hydroxyphenyl)benzoic acid and 4-(5'-formyl-2'-hydroxyphenyl)phenyl propionic acid, respectively, in the presence of 1-hydroxybenzotriazole and 1,3-diisopropylcarbodiimide to yield polymer-bound benzaldehydes. The phenolic group in resins was acetylated with acetic anhydride to afford two polymer-bound 4-acetoxybenzaldehydes. The reductive amination of polymer-bound linkers by amines and sodium triacetoxyborohydride, followed by sulfonylation with arylsulfonyl chloride derivatives in the presence of pyridine and the cleavage with TFA/DCM/H2O, produced pure sulfonamides.     

Syntheses and structures of new substituted 4-aryl-sulfonyl-4H-1,3,4-thiadiazin-5(6H)-ones

The cyclization of 4-aryl-1-arylsulfonylthiosemicarbazides 3, which were prepared by treatment of arylsulfonyl chlorides 1 with 4-aryl-3-thiosemicarbazides 2, with chloroacetyl chloride, provided the corresponding 2-arylamino-4-arylsulfonyl-4H-1,3,4-thiadiazin-5(6H)-ones 4 in good yields. The structures of all these compounds were evaluated by elemental analyses, and ¹HNMR, and IR spectroscopy. The structure of compound 4f was ascertained by X-ray diffraction analysis. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

1,3-Dimethyl-2-phenyl-1,3-diazaphospholidine-2-oxide as ligand for the preparation of luminescent lanthanide complexes

Abstract

Europium(III) coordination compounds having general formula [Eu(β-dike)₃L₂] (β-dike?=?dibenzoylmethanate, tenoyltrifluoroacetonate; L?=?1,3-dimethyl-2-phenyl-1,3-diazaphospholidine-2-oxide) were isolated and characterized. The complexes exhibited bright red emission associated to the ⁵D₀→⁷F_J transitions of the metal center upon excitation with near-UV light, with intrinsic quantum yields around 51% and 65%, respectively, for the dibenzoylmethanate and tenoyltrifluoroacetonate derivatives. More information about the behavior of 1,3-dimethyl-2-phenyl-1,3-diazaphospholidine-2-oxide as an antenna-ligand towards trivalent lanthanide ions was obtained by its coordination to [Ln(NO₃)₃] (Ln?=?Eu, Gd, Tb) metal fragments.     

Reactions of 4-tosyl-2-phenyl-5-chloro-1,3-thiazole with N-, O-, and S-nucleophiles

The accessible two-center electrophilic substrate 4-tosyl-2-phenyl-5-chloro-1,3-thiazole reacts regioselectively with N-, O-, and S-nucleophiles to eliminate a chloride ion. The analog of this substrate, 4-tosyl-2-phenyl-5-p-chlorophenylsulphonyl-1,3-thiazole, reacts with “soft” and “hard” nucleophiles differently: with the participation of C⁵ or C⁴ center, respectively, that seems to be caused by the principle of “symbiosis” in the transition state.     

CuI-catalyzed direct synthesis of diaryl thioethers from aryl boronic acids and arylsulfonyl chlorides

A CuI-catalyzed direct coupling of aryl boronic acids with arylsulfonyl chlorides for the preparation of diaryl thioethers was developed. The reaction is initiated by a PPh₃ reduction of the arylsulfonyl chloride, followed by a CuI-catalyzed C–S coupling with an aryl boronic acid. Various arylsulfonyl chlorides can directly serve as a sulfur source in this mild and efficient reaction giving the desired products in moderate to good yields. Moreover, this practical method has also been applied to the thioetherification of aryl iodides and acetylacetones.     

New N-(Arylsulfonyl)-5-aminomethylbicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-enes. Synthesis, 1H and 13C NMR Spectra,and Chemical Reactions

A synthesis of new N-(arylsulfonyl)-5-aminomethylbicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-enes obtained by reaction of stereoisomeric exo- and endo-5-aminomethylbicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-enes with arylsulfonyl chlorides is described. With the use of the data of ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectra, including those of two-dimensional spectra recorded in COSY and NOESY mode, the contribution of stereochemical features of sulfonamides into the spectra structure of endo- and exo-isomers was evaluated. Applying various methods of the phase-transfer catalysis alkylation and acylation of the stereoisomeric arylsulfonamides containing a norbornene fragment was carried out. The reactions of alkylated stereoisomeric sulfonamides, N-(benzyl)-N-(3,4-dichlorophenylsulfonyl)-5-aminomethylbicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-enes, with peroxyphthalic acid provide epoxides; the orientation of substituents in the cage norbornene fragment does not affect the direction of the process. The structure of the products obtained by sulfonamides transformations was confirmed by IR, ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectra.     

New,Diastereoselective One‐Pot Synthesis of Tetrasubstituted Hydantoins

An effective route to hydantoins is described, based on the 2 : 1 : 1 addition of arylsulfonyl isocyanates, dialkyl acetylenedicarboxylates, and dialkyl trialkylsilyl phosphites. The resulting tetrasubstituted, stable hydantoins 4 / 4′ (Table) were obtained in excellent yields, and their structures were corroborated spectroscopically (IR, ¹H‐, ¹³C‐, ³¹P‐NMR, EI‐MS) and by elemental analyses. A plausible mechanism for this type of cyclization is proposed (Scheme 2).     

Chiral Iron Porphyrins Catalyze Enantioselective Intramolecular C(sp3)−H Bond Amination Upon Visible-Light Irradiation

Iron-catalyzed asymmetric amination of C(sp³)−H bonds is appealing for synthetic applications due to the biocompatibility and high earth abundance of iron, but examples of such reactions are sparse. Herein we describe chiral iron complexes of meso- and β-substituted-porphyrins that can catalyze asymmetric intramolecular C(sp³)−H amination of aryl and arylsulfonyl azides to afford chiral indolines (29 examples) and benzofused cyclic sulfonamides (17 examples), respectively, with up to 93 % ee (yield: up to 99 %) using 410 nm light under mild conditions. Mechanistic studies, including DFT calculations, for the reactions of arylsulfonyl azides reveal that the Fe(NSO₂Ar) intermediate generated in situ under photochemical conditions reacts with the C(sp³)−H bond through a stepwise hydrogen atom transfer/radical rebound mechanism, with enantioselectivity arising from cooperative noncovalent interactions between the Fe(NSO₂Ar) unit and the peripheral substituents of the chiral porphyrin scaffold.     

Halogenation of N-Substituted p-Quinonimines and p-Quinone Oxime Esters: II. Chlorination and Bromination of 4-Aroyl(arylsulfonyl)oxyimino-2-methyl-2,5-cyclohexadienones

Halogenation of 4-aroyl(arylsulfonyl)oxyimino-2-methyl-2,5-cyclohexadienones yields Z,E-isomeric 4-aroyl(arylsulfonyl)oxyimino-5,6-dihalo-2-methyl-2-cyclohexenones and (E)-4-aroyl(arylsulfonyl)oxyimino-5,6-dihalo-6-methyl-2-cyclohexenones. Further chlorination leads to formation of (Z,E)-4-aroyl(arylsulfonyl)oxyimino-2,5,6-trichloro-6-methyl-2-cyclohexenones.     

Non-emissive RuII Polypyridyl Complexes as Efficient and Selective Photosensitizers for the Photooxidation of Benzylamines

Five new Ru^II polypyridyl complexes bearing N-(arylsulfonyl)-8-amidoquinolate ligands and three of their biscyclometalated Ir^III congeners have been prepared and employed as photocatalysts ( PC s) in the photooxidation of benzylamines with O₂. In particular, the new Ru^II complexes do not exhibit photoluminescence, rather they harvest visible light efficiently and are very stable in solution under irradiation with blue light. Their non-emissive behavior has been related to the low electrochemical energy gaps and rationalized on the basis of theoretical calculations (DFT analysis) that predict low S₀←T₁ energy values. Moreover, the Ru^II complexes, despite being non-emissive, display excellent activities in the selective photocatalytic transformation of benzylamines into the corresponding imines. The presence of an electron-withdrawing group (-CF3) on the arene ring of the N-(arylsulfonyl)-8-amidoquinolate ligand improves the photocatalytic activity of the corresponding photocatalyst. Furthermore, all the experimental evidence, including transient absorption spectroscopy measurements suggest that singlet oxygen is the actual oxidant. The Ir^III analogues are considerably more photosensitive and consequently less efficient photosensitizers ( PS s).     

Transformations of spirocyclodimers of 1,3-bis(ferrocenylmethylidene)-2-methylidenecycloalkanes in acid medium

An intramolecular homoannular alkylation of one ferrocenyl substituent in spirocyclodimers of 1,3-bis(ferrocenylmethylidene)-2-methylidenecyclohexanes and -cycloheptanes on treatment with trifluoroacetic acid, leading to the formation of polyfused products containing a three-petal system of six-membered rings in the molecule center, was found. The structure of 11-ferrocenyl-6,14-bis(ferrocenylmethylidene)-2,3-ferroceno-1,2-tetracyclo[8.8.0.0^5,10.0^13,18]octadeca-2,13(18)-diene was established by X-ray diffraction analysis.     

Synthesis,Characterization and Investigation of Electrochemical and Spectroelectrochemical Properties of Peripherally Tetra Diethoxypropan Substituted Phthalocyanines

In this study novel peripherally tetra 1,3-diethoxy-2-propanol substituted Co(II), Cu(II), Mg(II), Ni(II) Zn(II) phthalocyanine derivatives were prepared. The characterization of the novel compounds was made by FT-IR, ¹H-NMR, UV-vis and MALDI-TOF mass. Electrochemical, in-situ spectroelectrochemical and electrocolorimetric measurements have been carried out with the aim to determine the redox properties, to illuminate reaction mechanism and the effect of substituent and metal center. Moreover, the color properties and aggregation tendency of compounds were also investigated.     

Benchtop synthesis and crystal structure determination of a monomeric N-heterocyclic carbene complex of copper(I) chloride

(1,3-Bis(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)imidazol-2-ylidene)copper(I) chloride (1) was prepared by the reaction of 1,3-bis(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)imidazolium chloride and copper(I) oxide in refluxing tetrahydrofuran. In contrast to previously published methods of preparation of N-heterocyclic carbene complexes of copper(I) halides, this synthesis requires neither an inert atmosphere nor scrupulously dry solvents. The structure of 1 was determined by elemental analysis, ¹H and ¹³C NMR, and a single-crystal X-ray diffraction study. The X-ray crystal data reveal linear coordination about the copper(I) center and linear chains of molecules formed with intermolecular head-to-tail C–H···Cl interactions.
