Electrochemical synthesis and studies of substituted 2-thiopyridines

A series of substituted 2-alkyl(aryl-, hetaryl-)thiopyridines was prepared by cathodic electrolysis of thiols in the presence of 2-chloro-3-cyano-4-methoxymethyl-6-methylpyridine or 4-chloro-6-methyl-3-oxo-1H-furo[3,4-c]pyridine. The reaction of 3-cyano-4-methoxymethyl-6-methyl-2(1H)-thiopyridone with alkyl halides in the presence of KOH is regioselective and leads toS-alkyl derivatives. The advantages of electrosynthesis for the preparation of 2-alkylthiopyridines fused with 2(5H)-furanone and of 3-aminothieno [2,3-b]pyridines is demonstrated.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Reaction of 6-amino-5-cyano-3-methyl-1,4-diphenyl- 1H,4H-pyrano[2,3-c]pyrazole 1 with triethyl orthoformate in acetic anhydride gave its methanimidate 2, which reacts with primary aliphatic and aromatic amines to give 4,6-dihydro-3-methyl-1,4-diphenyl-6- (alkyl)pyrazolo[4′,3′:5,6]pyrano[2,3-d]pyrimidine-5(lH)- imine 3 and the starting compound 1 , respectively. Treatment of 1 with o-aminophenol gave 5-(2-benzoxalyl)- 1,4-dihydro-3-methyl-1,4-diphenylpyrano[2,3-c]pyrazol- 6-amine 9.     

Furopyridines. XVIII. Photocycloaddition of furo[2,3-c]pyridin-7(6H)-one with acrylonitrile

The photocycloaddition of furo[2,3-c]pyridin-7(6H)-one ( 1 ) and its N-mefhyl derivative ( 1-Me ) to acrylonitrile has been studied. The structures of the photoadducts isolated by colum chromatography were determined by the nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and single crystal X-ray analysis. The cyclo-addition of 1 afforded an adduct 2 at the carbonyl oxygen and 8-cyano-8,9-dihydrofuro[d]azocin-7(6H)-one ( 3 ), and the addition of 1-Me the N-methyl derivative 3-Me of 3 , (9S*)-9-cyano-6-methyl-3a,7a-dihydro-3a,7a-ethanofuro[2,3-c]pyridin-7(6H)-one ( 4 ), (2S*, 2aR*, 7bR*)- ( 5 ) and (1R*, 2aS*, 7bS*)-2-cyano-3-methyl-4-oxo-1,2,2a,3,4,7b-hexahydrocyclobuta[e]furo[2,3-c]pyridine ( 6 ).

5-Cyano-6-aryluracil and 2-thiouracil derivatives as potential chemotherapeutic agents. IV

A series of 5-cyano-6-aryluracils and 2-thiouracils 1a-h has been prepared and alkylated to 1,3-dialkyluracils 2a-d and 2-alkylthiouracils, 3, 4 and 6 , by electrophilic substitution with alkyl halides. Reaction of 1b with dibromoethane and 1,3-dibromopropane gave the corresponding bicyclic products, 7-aryl-6-cyano-2,3-dihydrothiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidin-5-ones 5a,b and 8-aryl-7-cyano-3,4-dihydro-2H-pyrimido[2,3-b][1,3]thiazin-6-ones 5c-g . Nucleophilic substitution on 6 with hydrazine led to 7 which on refluxing with formic acid gave 5-aryl-6-cyano-8-methyl-s-triazolo[3,4-b]pyrimidin-7-ones ( 9 ), while with acetic and propionic acids only 2-acylhydrazino-3-methyl-4-oxo-5-cyano-6-arylpyrimidines 8a,b were isolated. The hydrazine 7 undergoes cyclization with acetylacetone and methyl dimethylmercaptoacrylate providing 2-(pyrazol-1-yl)-3-methyl-4-oxo-5-cyano-6-substituted pyrimidines 10 , and 11 . Some of the compounds were screened for antibacterial-, antifungal- and antiviral activities and a few of them showed significant chemotherapeutical activities.     

Reductive Activation of Arenes: XV. Anionic Products of m-Tolynitrile Reduction with Sodium in Liquid Ammonia, and Their Alkylation

From results of oxidation, protonation, and alkylation of the products arising in one- or two- electron reduction of m-tolunitrile with sodium in liquid ammonia followed a conclusion that these products are respectively anion-radical of the compound and 3-methyl-1-cyano-2,5-cyclohexadienyl anion. The reaction of both reduction products with alkyl halides gives rise to compounds of ipso-alkylation with respect to cyano group: the corresponding alkyltoluenes and 1-alkyl-3-methyl-1-cyclohexadienes. The ratio of these products depends on the structure of alkyl halide. The possibility to prepare selectively m-alkyltoluenes by reaction of the product of two-electron reduction of m-tolunitrile with alkyl halides was demonstrated.     

Synthesis and characterization of some new pyridines,thieno[2,3-b] pyridines and pyrido[3′,2′:4,5]thieno[3,2-d]pyrimidine-4(3H)-ones bearing styryl moiety

3-Cyano-5-ethoxycarbonyl-6-methyl-4-styrylpyridine-2(1H)-thione ( 3 ) was prepared by reaction of 2-cyano-5-phenylpenta-2,4-dienethioamide ( 2 ) with ethyl acetoacetate or by multicomponent reaction of cinnamaldehyde ( 1 ), cyanothioacetamide and ethyl acetoacetate in a moderate yield. Reaction of compound 3 with some N-aryl-2-chloroacetamides, in the presence of sodium acetate, gave the corresponding 2-(N-arylcarbamoylmethylsulfanyl)-3-cyano-5-ethoxycarbonyl-6-methyl-4-styrylpyridines 4a-f . When compounds 4a-f were subjected to Thorpe-Ziegler reaction conditions, they converted into the corresponding 3-amino-5-ethoxycarbonyl-2-(N-arylcarbamoyl)-6-methyl-4-styrylthieno[2,3-b]pyridines 5a-f . Compounds 5a,e,f were reacted, in turn, with 2,5-dimethoxytetrahydrofuran to furnish the corresponding 3-(pyrrol-1-yl)thieno-pyridines 6a,e,f . Reactions of 5a-f with triethyl orthoformate or nitrous acid were also carried out and their products were identified. Structural formulas of all synthesized compounds was characterized and confirmed on the basis of their elemental and spectral analyses.

The reaction of thiobenzamide with 3-alkoxy-3-aryl(or alkyl)-2-cyanopropenenitriles 1 and sodium 2-propoxide in 2-propanol afforded after acidic treatment 6-aryl(or alkyl)-5-cyano-2-phenyl-4-thioxo-3,4-dihydropyrimidines 3 through formation of the 3-aryl(or alkyl)-2-cyano-3-thiobenzamidopropenenitrile 2 that has been isolated in one case ( 2a , R¹ = Ph).     

Rate constants for the reactions of OH radicals with alkyl substituted olefins

Relative rate constants for the reactions of hydroxyl radicals with a series of alkyl substituted olefins were measured by competitive reactions between pairs of olefins at 298 ± 2 K and 1 atmospheric pressure. Hydroxyl radicals were produced by the photolysis of H₂O₂ with 254-nm irradiation. The obtained rate constants were (× 10^?11 cm³ molecule^?1 s^?1): 2.53 ± 0.06, propylene; 5.49 ± 0.17, cis-2-butene; 5.47 ± 0.1, isobutene; 6.46 ± 0.13, 2-methyl-1-butene; 6.37 ± 0.16, cis-2-pentene; 6.23 ± 0.1, 2-methyl-1-pentene; 8.76 ± 0.14, 2-methyl-2-pentene; 6.24 ± 0.08, trans-4-methyl-2-pentene; 10.3 ± 0.1, 2,3-dimethyl-2-butene; 9.94 ± 0.1, 2,3-dimethyl-2-pentene; 5.59 ± 0.07, trans-4,4-dimethyl-2-pentene. A trend in alkyl substituent effect on the rate constant was found, which is useful to predict k_OH on the basis of the number of alkyl substituents on the double bond.

The formation of the target compounds presumably proceeds through a three component reaction of the appropriate bis(aldehyde) with 2 M of each of malononitrile and the corresponding active methylene compounds namely; dimedone, 4-hydroxycoumarine, 5-methyl-2,4-dihydro-3H-pyrazol-3-one, or cyanomethylpyrazole in dioxane at reflux in the presence of piperdine as a basic catalyst. The chemical structures of the new compounds were elucidated by several spectral tools.

A reaction of methyllithium with 3-cyano-6-methylpyridine-2(1 H)-thione followed by alkylation of the resulting 3-acetylpyridinethione, or a direct reaction of methyllithium with 3-cyano-6-methyl-2-(methylthio)pyridine, afforded 3-acetyl-6-methyl-2-(methylthio)pyridine.

Condensation of 4-acetyl-5-hydroxy-3-methyl-1-phenylpyrazole with R^FCO₂Et (R^F = CF₂H, CF₃) in the presence of LiH affords 4-di(tri)fluoroacetoacetyl-5-hydroxy-3-methyl-1-phenylpyrazoles from which 6-di(tri)fluoromethyl-and 5-di(tri)fluoroacetyl-3-methyl-1-phenylpyrano[2,3-c]pyrazol-4(1H)-ones were synthesized. The reactions of pyrano-pyrazoles with hydrazine hydrate, ethyl mercaptoacetate, or aromatic amines proceed at the C(6) atom with pyrone ring opening and formation of aminoenones, pyrazoles, or thiophenes with the 5-hydroxy-3-methyl-1-phenyl-4-pyrazolyl fragment.
