Synthesis and structure of 3-(hydroxycarbamoyl)-2,2,5,5-tetramethyl-2,5-dihydropyrrol-1-oxyl

Hydroxyamination of 3-chlorocarbonyl-2,2,5,5-tetramethyl-2,5-dihydropyrrol-1-oxyl gave previously unknown 3-(hydroxycarbamoyl)-2,2,5,5-tetramethyl-2,5-dihydropyrrol-1-oxyl whose structure was determined by X-ray analysis. The hydroxamic acid fragment has cis configuration, and the carbonyl group occupies distorted trans position with respect to the double bond in the planar dihydropyrrole ring.     

Studies toward the synthesis of 4-(2-R-ethyl)amino-2,2,5,5-tetramethyl-3-imidazoline 1-oxyls. nucleophilic substitution of bromide in the N-Alkyl chain of the 1,2,4-oxadiazol-2-one precursor

A synthetic approach to access the new nitroxides of the amidine type exhibiting pH-dependent EPR spectra through substitution of a halide in the exo-N-halogenoalkyl chain of 1-(2-bromoethyl)-6-oxyl-5,5,7,7-tetramethyltetrahydroimidazo[1,5-b][1,2,4]oxadiazol-2-one is reported. In this approach, an oxycarbonyl moiety of the oxadiazolone heterocycle plays the role of a "protecting group" for the amidine functionality. A nucleophilic cleavage of the oxadiazolone heterocycle under mild nonbasic conditions, applicable to substrates bearing substituents vulnerable to attack by strong basic nucleophiles, is elaborated. The approach allows for the new amidine nitroxides bearing various functional groups (e.g., such as CN, N3, NH2, COOEt) to be synthesized. A series of nitroxides obtained through the Staudinger/intermolecular aza-Wittig reaction of the azido derivative is also described. The nitroxides synthesized here were found to have pH-dependent two-component EPR spectra indicative of a slow, on the EPR time scale, R* left arrow over right arrow R*H+ chemical exchange, and pKa values ranging from 2.8 to 12.5 units. The guanidine derivatives synthesized in this work show the highest pKa values (pKa = 10.2 and 12.5, respectively) ever reported for the nitroxide pH-probes of a "basic type".     

Reaction of ketenes with N,N-disubstituted α-aminomethyleneketones. XIX. Synthesis of N,N-disubstituted 4-amino-3-phenyl-2H-furo[2,3-h]-1-benzopyran-2-ones (4-amino-3-phenylangelicins). Crystal and molecular structure of 3-Phenylangelicin

1,4-Cycloaddition of phenylchloroketene to N,N-disubstituted 5-aminomethylene-6,7-dihydrobenzo[b]- furan-4(5H)-ones gave the corresponding adducts, namely N,N-disubstituted 4-amino-3-chloro-3,4,5,6-tetra- hydro-3-phenyl-2H-furo[2,3-h]-l-benzopyran-2-ones II , which were dehydrochlorinated with DBN to N,N-disubstituted 4-amino-5,6-dihydro-3-phenyl-2H-furo[2,3-h]-1-benzopyran-2-ones III . Compounds III afforded the title compounds IV by dehydrogenation with DDQ. In the cycloaddition step, 3-phenylangelicin V , whose structure was confirmed by ¹H-nmr shift reagents data and by X-ray crystal structure determination, was almost always formed, probably starting from II by dehydrochlorination, dehydrogenation and hydrogenolysis of the disubstituted amino group. Separation of V was achieved by alumina chromatography either in the cycloaddition step or, in most cases, in the dehydrochlorination step. 3-Phenylangelicin crystallizes in the trigonal system, space group R3, with cell parameters (hexagonal axes) a = b = 41.021(10), c = 3.888(2) Å. The angelicin moiety forms a dihedral angle of 42.1(1)° with the phenyl substituent. Disordered solvent molecules of ethyl acetate are clathrated in channels in the direction of the crystallographic axis c.     

Reaction of ketenes with N,N-disubstituted α-aminomethyleneketones. XVI. Synthesis of N,N-disubstituted 4-amino-5,6-tetramethylene-3-phenyl-2-pyranones

1,4-Cycloaddition of phenylchloroketene (prepared in situ from α-chlorophenylacetyl chloride and triethyl-amine) to a number of N,N-disubstituted (E)-2-aminomethylenecyclohexanones gave the corresponding adducts, namely N,N-disubstituted 4-amino-3-chloro-3,4,5,6,7,8-hexahydro-2H-1-benzopyran-2-ones III in the case of aliphatic N,N-disubstitution or aromatic N-monosubstitution. Purification of III was possible only in the case of IIIh (NR₂ = NMePh), therefore they were dehydrochlorinated in situ with DBN to give the title compounds in moderate overall yields.     

Reaction of ketenes with N,N-disubstituted α-aminomethyleneketones VIII. Synthesis of N,N-disubstituted 4-amino-3-chloro-6-phenyl-2H-pyran-2-ones

The dipolar 1,4-cycloaddition of dichloroketene to N,N-disubstituted 3-amino-1-phenyl-2-propene-1-onesled directly to N,N-disubstituted 4-amino-3-chloro-6-phenyl-2H-pyran-2-ones only in the case of an usual aliphatic N,N-disubstitution. In the case of partial or full aromatic N-substitution, N,N-disubstituted 4-amino-3,3-dichloro-3,4-dihydro-6-phenyl-2H-pyran-2-ones were instead obtained, which were dehydrochlorinated with DBN to the corresponding 4-amino-3-chloro-6-phenyl-2H-pyran-2-ones.     

Reaction of ketenes with N,N-disubstituted α-aminomethyleneketones. XII. Synthesis of N,N-disubstituted 4-amino-3-chloro-6-(2-methyl-l-propenyl) (2-phenylethenyl)-2H-pyran-2-ones

Cycloaddition of dichloroketene to N,N-disubstituted (E)-amino-5-methyl-1,4-hexadien-3-ones IV and (E,E)-1-amino-5-phenyl-1,4-pentadien-3-ones V occurred in moderate to good yield only in the case of aromatic N-substitution to give N,N-disubstituted 4-amino-3,3-dichloro-3,4-dihydro-6-(2-methyl-l-propenyl) (2-phenylethenyl)-2H-pyran-2-ones, which were dehydrochlorinated with DBN to afford in good yield N,N-disubstituted 4-amino-3-chloro-6-(2-methyl-propenyl)(2-phenylethenyl)-2H-pyran-2-ones. In the case of aliphatic N,N-disubstitution (dimethylamino group) of enaminones IV and V, the Cycloaddition led directly in low yield to 3-chloro-4-dimethylamino-6-(2-methyl-l-propenyl)(2-phenylethenyl)-2H-pyran-2-ones.     

Modulation effects in the electron spin echo of trans bis-(2,2,5,5-tetramethyl-3-imidazoline-3-oxide-1-oxyl-4-il) ethylene biradicals

Electron spin echo modulation effects have been investigated in trans bis(2,2,5,5-tetramethyl-3-imidazoline-3-oxide-1-oxyl-4-il) ethylene biradicals involving ¹⁴N or ¹⁵N nuclei in different positions. The modulation frequencies are shown to be the nitrogen nuclear transition frequencies in radical fragments at m_S = 0 of a triplet electronic spin. Quadrupole splitting parameters for these nitrogen nuclei have been determined.     

Reaction of ketenes with N,N-disubstituted α-aminomethyleneketones. XVIII. Synthesis of N,N-disubstituted 4-amino-3-phenyl-2H-naphtho[1,2-b]pyran-2-ones

1,4-Cycloaddition of phenylchloroketene to N,N-disubstituted 2-aminomethylene-3,4-dihydro-1(2H)naphthalenones gave the corresponding adducts, namely N,N-disubstituted 4-amino-3-chloro-3,4,5,6-tetrahydro-3-phenyl-2H-naphtho[1,2-b]pyran-2-ones II, in the case of aliphatic N,N-disubstitution or aromatic N-monosubstitution. Apart from IIf (NR₂ = NMePh), adducts II were unstable and were dehydrochlorinated in situ with DBN to give N,N-disubstituted 4-amino-5,6-dihydro-3-phenyl-2H-naphtho[1,2-b]pyran-2-ones III in fair overall yields. Compounds III were dehydrogenated with Pd/C in boiling p-cymene to afford the title compounds generally in high yields.     

Reaction of substituted sulfenes with N,N-disubstituted α-amino-methyleneketones. I. Synthesis of N,N-disubstituted cis- and trans-4-amino-3,4,5,6,7,8-hexahydro-3-phenyl-1,2-benzoxathiin 2,2-dioxides

The polar 1, 4-cycloaddition of phenylsulfene (generated in situ from phenylmethanesulfony] chloride and triethylamine) to N, N-disubstituted (E)-2-aminomethylenecyclohexanones I gave in general a mixture of N, N-disubstituted cis- and trans-4-amino-3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8-hexahydro-3-phenyl-1, 2-benzoxathiin 2, 2-dioxides III and IV, which were separated by column chromatography and whose structural and conformational features were determined from uv, ir and nmr spectral data. In the case of N, N-diisopropylamino enaminone 1c, the cyclo-addition took place with elimination of an alkyl group as propene to give the adduct III?.     

Synthesis,structure, and magnetic properties of mixed-ligand complexes of manganese and gadolinium hexafluoroacetylacetonates with 4-phenyl-2,2,5,5-tetramethyl-3-imidazoline-3-oxide-1-oxyl nitroxide

Complexes of manganese(II) and gadolinium(III) hexafluoroacetylacetonates with stable nitroxide 4-phenyl-2,2,5,5-tetramethyl-3-imidazoline-3-oxide-1-oxyl (L), Mn(hfac)₂L₂ and Gd(hfac)₃L₂, have been synthesized. The results of an X-ray study of these complexes (Mn(hfac)₂L₂: a=21.762(4), b=9.685(1), c=22.073(3) Å, β=114.94(1)°, space group Cc, Z=4; Gd(hfac)₃L₂: a=22.079(4), b=11.562(2), c=21.302(4) Å, β=112.25(1)°, space group Cc, Z=4) have shown that both compounds have a molecular structure with the paramagnetic ligand coordinated via the oxygen atom of the N-oxide group. According to the results of static magnetic susceptibility measurements, the energies of exchange interactions between unpaired electrons of L and of metal ions are less than 1 cm^?1 in magnitude.     

Reaction of substituted sulfenes with N,N-disubstituted α-amino-methyleneketones. II. Synthesis of N,N-disubstituted cis and trans 4-amino-3-chloro-3,4,5,6,7,8-hexahydro-1,2-benzoxathiin 2,2-dioxides,and 4-amino-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-1,2-benzoxathiin 2,2-dioxides

The polar 1,4-cycloaddition of chlorosulfene (generated in situ from chloromethanesulfonyl chloride and triethylamine) to N,N-disubstituted (E)-2-aminomethylenecyclohexanones I gave mixtures of N,N-disubstituted cis and trans 4-amino-3-chloro-3,4,5,6,7,8-hexahydro-1,2-benzoxathiin 2,2-dioxides III and IV, except for N,N-diphenyl enaminone which did not react. Only compounds IV could be separated from these mixtures by silica gel chromatography, with the exception of the piperidino adducts (III + IV)d, from which also IIId could be obtained pure. Compounds IV or mixtures III + IV were dehydrochlorinated with DBN in refluxing benzene to afford N,N-disubstituted 4-amino-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-1,2-benzoxathiin 2,2-dioxides V in satisfactory yields. Structural and conformational features of compounds III, IV and V were determined from uv, ir and nmr spectral data.     

Reaction of ketenes with N,N-disubstituted α-aminomethyleneketones. X. Synthesis of N,N-disubstituted 6-alkyl-4-amino-3,3-dichloro-3,4-dihydro-2H-pyran-2-ones and of 6-alkyl-4-amino-3-chloro-2H-pyran-2-ones

Cycloaddition of dichloroketene to N,N-disubstituted 1-amino-4-methyl-1-penten-3-ones and 1-amino-4,4-dimethyl-1-penten-3-ones occurred in moderate to fair yield only in the case of aromatic N-substitution to give N,N-disubstituted 6-alkyl-4-amino-3,3-dichloro-3,4-dihydro-2H-pyran-2-ones, which were dehydrochlorinated with DBN to afford in good yield N,N-disubstituted 6-alkyl-4-amino-3-chloro-2H-pyran-2-ones. In the case of aliphatic N,N-disubstitution, cyclo-addition led directly to 6-alkyl-4-dialkylamino-3-chloro-2H-pyran-2-ones only for N,N-disubstituted 1-amino-4,4-dimethyl-1-penten-3-ones. The reaction between 1-dimethylamino-4-methyl-1-penten-3-one and dichloroketene gave 3-chloro-4-dimethylamino-3,6-dihydro-6-isopropylidene-2H-pyran-2-one in low yield.
