Two reaction routes for the preparation of aromatic polyoxadiazoles and polytriazoles: Syntheses and properties

Two reaction routes for the preparation of aromatic poly-1,3,4-oxadiazoles and poly-1,2,4-triazoles are studied and their influence on the physical properties, i.e., inherent viscosity, glass transition, degradation temperature, and film integrity of the final products are discussed. Aromatic poly-1,3,4-oxadiazoles are prepared by means of a polycondensation reaction of terephthaloyl chloride and isophthalic dihydrazide yielding a precursor polymer, poly(p, m-phenylene) hydrazide, which is converted into the corresponding poly-1,3,4-oxadiazole by means of a cyclodehydration reaction. Poly-1,3,4-oxadiazoles are also prepared by means of a polycondensation reaction between terephthalic and isophthalic acid and hydrazine yielding poly-1,3,4-oxadiazoles with higher inherent viscosities. Flexible poly-1,3,4-oxadiazole films are obtained only if the inherent viscosities of the polymers used are higher than 2.7 dL/g. The thermal stability is found to increase with increasing content of p-phenylene groups in the polymer backbone. Aromatic poly-1,2,4-triazoles are prepared using polyhydrazides with alternating para- and meta-phenylene groups and poly-1,3,4-oxadiazoles with a random incorporation of para- and meta-phenylene groups in the main chain as precursor polymers. The glass transition temperatures are found to increase with increasing content of p-phenylene groups in the main chain of these polymers. Cold crystallization is observed only for the alternating polymer. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

Synthesis of poly(1,3,4-oxadiazole)s by direct polycondensation of dicarboxylic acids with hydrazine sulfate using phosphorus pentoxide/methanesulfonic acid as condensing agent and solvent

A convenient method for the synthesis of poly(1,3,4-oxadiazole)s of high molecular weights has been developed. These polymers were prepared readily by the direct polycondensation of dicarboxylic acids with hydrazine sulfate ( 1 ) using phosphorus pentoxide/methanesulfonic acid (PPMA) as both a condensing agent and solvent. Polycondensation of aliphatic dicarboxylic acids with 1 proceeded even at room temperature and produced poly(1,3,4-oxadiazole)s with inherent viscosities up to 1.4 dL/g. The synthesis of aromatic poly(1,3,4-oxadiazole)s from aromatic dicarboxylic acids containing phenyl ether structures was carried out by a one-pot procedure because the preactivation of dicarboxylic acids was required. The synthesis of 2,5-disubstituted-1,3,4-oxadiazoles by the reaction of carboxylic acids with 1 in PPMA was studied to demonstrate the feasibility of the reaction for polymer formation. The thermogravimetry of the aromatic poly(1,3,4-oxadiazole)s showed 10% weight loss both in air and in nitrogen at 440–490°C.     

Thermal behavior of polyhydrazides and poly-1,3,4-oxadiazoles

The thermal properties of a series of polyhydrazides and corresponding poly-1,3,4-oxadiazoles have been investigated using differential thermometric and thermogravimetric techniques. In addition, the conversion rates of the polyhydrazides to the corresponding oxadiazole structures have also been measured. In general, weight loss in polyhydrazides occurs in three distinct stages corresponding, respectively, to loss of adsorbed water, cyclodehydration, and decomposition of the poly-1,3,4-oxadiazole formed in situ. The polyoxadiazoles generally exhibit only a single weight loss step (below 700°C.) corresponding to decomposition and volatilization of the substrate itself. These data clearly indicate that the presence of aliphatic carbon–carbon linkages in the polymer backbone reduces the temperature at which decomposition of the polyoxadiazoles is noted. Corresponding differential thermometry patterns give additional data on phase transitions in the polymers and indicate, in general, that the poly-1,3,4-oxadiazoles formed in situ decompose before reaching their intrinsic melting points (under the specific conditions of these experiments). Comparison of the poly-1,3,4-oxadiazoles prepared under the (rapid) dynamic conditions of the differential thermometry and thermogravimetry techniques employed (30°C./min.) with isothermal rate data clearly suggests subtle structural differences in the polyoxadiazoles prepared by the two different modes. In general, ΔE? for the hydrazide–oxadiazole conversion amounts to about 49–53 Kcal./mole while ΔS? amounts to 14–17 e.u. However, both ΔE? and ΔS? for the polymer containing exclusively 1,3-phenylene linkages between incipient oxadiazole groups appear to be considerably higher (ΔE? = 62 Kcal./mole, ΔS? = 34 e.u.). This striking difference is explained in terms of the increased order resulting from the higher degree of crystallinity in the polyhydrazide.     

Comparative study of the thermal properties of related aromatic polyhydrazides and poly(1,3,4-oxadiazole)s

Studies were undertaken to ascertain the thermal behavior of several new types of aromatic polyhydrazides and poly(1,3,4-oxadiazole)s containing different functional groups. Results of thermal analysis investigations indicate that all the polyoxadiazoles are remarkably heat-resistant when heated in nitrogen at elevated temperature but somewhat less heat-resistant than fully aromatic polyoxadiazoles. Most of the new polyoxadiazoles decompose when heated to about 450°C. The incorporation of tetraphenyl silane, hexafluoroisopropylidene, phthalido or phenoxytherephthalic groups into the main chain decrease the glass transition temperature of aromatic poly(1,3,4-oxadiazole)s. In the case of the silicon-containing polymers the glass transition temperature is independent of the other groups incorporated in the same macromolecule. The cyclization process of all investigated polyhydrazides takes place in the range between 320 and 390°C.     

Propylphosphonic anhydride (T3P): an efficient reagent for the one-pot synthesis of 1,2,4-oxadiazoles, 1,3,4-oxadiazoles, and 1,3,4-thiadiazoles

Propylphosphonic anhydride (T3P^®) has been demonstrated to be an efficient and mild reagent for the one-pot synthesis of 1,2,4-oxadiazoles, 1,3,4-oxadiazoles, and 1,3,4-thiadiazoles from carboxylic acids.     

Synthesis and properties of noncoplanar rigid‐rod aromatic polyhydrazides and poly(1,3,4‐oxadiazole)s containing phenyl or naphthyl substituents

Two new phenyl‐ and naphthyl‐substituted rigid‐rod aromatic dicarboxylic acid monomers, 2,2′‐diphenylbiphenyl‐4,4′‐dicarboxylic acid ( 4 ) and 2,2′‐di(1‐naphthyl)biphenyl‐4,4′‐dicarboxylic acid ( 5 ), were synthesized by the Suzuki coupling reaction of 2,2′‐diiodobiphenyl‐4,4′‐dicarboxylic acid dimethyl ester with benzeneboronic acid and naphthaleneboronic acid, respectively, followed by alkaline hydrolysis of the ester groups. Four new polyhydrazides were prepared from the dicarboxylic acids 4 and 5 with terephthalic dihydrazide (TPH) and isophthalic dihydrazide (IPH), respectively, via the Yamazaki phosphorylation reaction. These polyhydrazides were amorphous and readily soluble in many organic solvents. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) indicated that these hydrazide polymers had glass transition temperatures in the range of 187–234 °C and could be thermally cyclodehydrated into the corresponding oxadiazole polymers in the range of 300–400 °C. The resulting poly(1,3,4‐oxadiazole)s exhibited T_g's in the range of 252–283 °C, 10% weight‐loss temperature in excess of 470 °C, and char yield at 800 °C in nitrogen higher than 54%. These organo‐soluble polyhydrazides and poly(1,3,4‐oxadiazole)s exhibited UV–Vis absorption maximum at 262–296 and 264–342 nm in NMP solution, and their photoluminescence spectra showed maximum bands around 414–445 and 404–453 nm, respectively, with quantum yield up to 38%. The electron‐transporting properties were examined by electrochemical methods. Cyclic voltammograms of the poly(1,3,4‐oxadiazole) films cast onto an indium‐tin oxide (ITO)‐coated glass substrate exhibited reversible reduction redox with E_onset at ?1.37 to ?1.57 V versus Ag/AgCl in dry N,N‐dimethylformamide solution. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Synthesis and properties of furan derivatives. 4. Synthesis of 2,5-disubstituted 1,3,4-oxadiazoles containing furan fragments

The condensation of hydrochloride sats of iminoesters of furan acids with hydrazides of carboxylic acids gives 2,5-disubstituted 1,3,4-oxadiazoles containing furan fragments. Such compounds are also formed in the condensation of hydrazides of 5-R-furan-2-carboxylic acids with hydrocloride salts of carboxylic acid iminoesters. The reaction of furan acids with hydrazine dihydrochloride in polyphosphoric acid gave symmetrically disubstituted 1,3,4-oxadiazoles containing furan fragments.Communication 3, see ref. [1].I. M.

A convenient one pot method for the synthesis of 2,5-disubstituted 1,3,4-oxadiazoles from acids and acyl hydrazides is reported. Acid activation with CDI, followed by coupling with the desired acylhydrazide and dehydration in the same pot with Ph₃P and CBr₄ affords the corresponding 1,3,4-oxadiazoles in good yield. The scope of the acid and acylhydrazide components is presented.     

Synthesis, characterization, and biological activities of some 3,5,6-trichloropyridine derivatives

Aromatic carboxylic acids on refluxing with 3,5,6-trichloro-2-pyridyloxyacetylhydrazide in POCl3 gave 5-aryl-2-(3,5,6-trichloro-2-pyridyloxymethyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazoles. The hydrazide on treatment with acid chlorides gave diacylhydrazines, whereas with arylsulfonyl chlorides acyl(arylsulfonyl)hydrazines were obtained. The latter two types of compounds were tested for their antibacterial and antifungal activities whereas 1,3,4-oxadiazole derivatives were tested for their herbicidal activity.

A mild and efficient one-pot protocol for the synthesis of 1,3,4-oxadiazoles from carboxylic acids and acylhydrazides was developed. Diacylhydrazide formation via HATU coupling followed by addition of Burgess reagent afforded the corresponding 1,3,4-oxadiazoles in 63-96% yields at room temperature. The reaction conditions are tolerant of a variety of functional groups, including esters, nitriles, alkynes, olefins, alkyl halides, phenols, carbamates and sulfonamides.     

The synthesis of bis(1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-yl-phenylmethyl) sulfides and other related 1,3,4-oxadiazoles from 1,1′-diphenylthiodiacetic acid dihydrazide and triethyl orthoesters

Reactions of symmetrical 1,1′-diphenylthiodiacetic acid dihydrazide and triethyl orthoesters in the presence of catalytic amount of glacial acetic acid resulted in the formation of three heterocyclic products: the appropriate bis(1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-yl-phenylmethyl) sulfides, 2-benzyl-1,3,4-oxadiazoles and 2-benzoyl-1,3,4-oxadiazoles. The presence of the latter two compounds is connected with carbon-sulfur fission in the molecule of the starting hydrazide. The identity of the unexpected fission products was confirmed by parallel syntheses of the model 1,3,4-oxadiazoles from phenylacetic acid hydrazide and 2-hydroxymethyl-1,3,4-oxadiazole derivatives.     

An efficient synthesis of conjugated 5-aryl-1,3,4-oxadiazoles from 3-heteroarylacrylohydrazides and acid chlorides

New derivatives of 5-aryl-2-[2-(2-furyl)ethenyl]-1,3,4-oxadiazoles and 5-aryl-2-[2-(2-thienyl)ethenyl]-1,3,4-oxadiazoles are synthesized in a stepwise procedure through intermediate acyclic N′-arylcarbonyl-N-[2-(2-heteroaryl)acryloyl]hydrazines, starting from 3-(2-heteroaryl)acrylic acid hydrazides and acid chlorides. A facile one-pot methodology leading to the final 1,3,4-oxadiazoles is also described.     

Polyhydrazides. IV. Preparation and properties of poly-N-ethyl- and isopropylhydrazide oxadiazoles

High molecular weight poly-N-alkylhydrazide-oxadiazoles have been prepared in poly-phosphoric acid by alkylation of poly-1,3,4-oxadiazole which was synthesized from terephthalic acid and hydrazine sulfate. Various kinds of reagents having an alkoxy group were used as alkylating agent, and N-ethylated and N-propylated polyhydrazides containing oxadiazole units were obtained. The thermal properties of the polymers obtained were investigated by using infrared spectroscopy, viscometry, differential thermometric and thermogravimetric techniques. Soluble poly-N-alkylhydrazide-oxadiazole are thermally cyclized to poly-1,3,4-oxadiazole with elimination of olefins and water at 226–330°C for propylated polydrazide and at 240–360°C for ethylated polyhydrazide. For both, weight loss in polyhydrazides occurs in two distinct stages corresponding, respectively, to cyclization and decomposition of the poly-1,3,4-oxadiazole formed in situ.     

2-Phenyl-5-(trichloromethyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazoles,A new class of antimalarial substances

An investigation of hybrids of 2,5-dimethyl-1,3,4-oxadiazole (I) and α,α,α,α',α',α'-hexachloro-p-xylene (Hetol®) (II) as potential antimalarial agents led to the synthesis of representative 2-phenyI-5-(trichloromethyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazoles (VIa-f, VIII-X) and related trichloromethyl 1,2,4-oxadiazole, 1,3,4-oxadiazoles, and 1,3,4-thiadiazole (VII, XIII-XV). Treatment of the appropriately substituted benzoic: acid hydrazides (IVa-f) with trichloroacetic anhydride afforded the intermediate 1-benzoyl-2-(triehloroacetyl)hydrazines (Va-f) which were cyclized to the desired 5-(chlorophenyl, tolyl, or α,α,α-trifluorotolyl)-2-(trichloromethyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazoles (VIa-f) (44–66%) in situ utilizing phosphorous oxychloride. Chlorination of the 5-tolyl-2-(trichloromethyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazoles (VId-f) afforded 2-(trichloromethyl)-5-(α,α,α-trichloro-m- and p-tolyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazole (VIII and IX) and 2-(α,α,α,α',α',α'-hexachloro-3,5-xylyl)-5-(trichloromethyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazole (X) in 23–56% yield. Each of the 2-phenyl-5-(trichloromethyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazoles (VIa-f, VIII-X) was active against Plasmodium berghei in mice when administered in single 160 or 640 mg./kg. subcutaneous doses or given orally by drug-diet for 6 days at doses of 29–336 mg./kg./day. The 2-(trichloromethyl)-5-(α,α,α-trichlorotolyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazoles (VIII-X) were the most active compounds prepared and exhibited activity against P. berghei comparable with Hetol®. Structure-activity relationships are discussed.     

RAPID SYNTHESIS OF 2,5-DISUBSTITUTED 1,3,4-OXADIAZOLES UNDER MICROWAVE IRRADIATION

A number of symmetrically 2,5-disubstituted 1,3,4-oxadiazoles are quickly prepared by the reaction of aromatic acids with hydrazine dihydrochloride in a mixture of orthophosphoric acid and phosphorus pentoxide under microwave irradiation.     

Reactions of α-mercaptocarboxylic acid hydrazides with triethyl orthoesters: synthesis of 1,3,4-thiadiazin-5(6H)-ones and 1,3,4-oxadiazoles

Reactions of α-mercapto-β-phenylpropionic and α-mercaptophenylacetic acid hydrazides with triethyl orthoesters were conducted under N₂ in glacial acetic acid and resulted in the formation of two groups of products, derivatives of 1,3,4-thiadiazin-5(6H)-ones and 2-(1-mercaptomethyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazoles. When conducting the same transformations on α-mercaptophenylacetic acid hydrazide in the presence of air, two different products from the 1,3,4-oxadiazole family, the appropriate bis(1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-yl-phenylmethyl) disulfides and 2-benzyl-1,3,4-oxadiazoles, were formed with the liberation of free sulfur. The oxygenated bis(1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-yl-phenylmethyl) disulfides were reduced to the corresponding 2-(1-mercaptomethyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazoles with the use of zinc powder under mild conditions.     

Synthesis of some polyureas based on diamino derivatives of bis-1, 3, 4-oxadiazole

Ortho-, meta, and para-nitrobenzoyl derivatives of the dihydrazides of succinic, glutaric, adipic, and azelaic acids are prepared, from which are obtained nitro and amlno derivatives of bis-1,3,4- diazole. Various conditions for synthesizing these compounds are investigated. A series of polyureas is obtained by reacting diamino derivatives of bis-1,3,4-oxadiaole with diisocyanates, and some of their properties are investigated.     

One-pot method for the synthesis of sulfonated poly(1,3,4-oxadiazoles) based on 4,4’-oxydibenzoic acid

A series of new copolymers of poly(1,3,4-oxadiazole) that contain side protogenic sulfo groups are synthesized by the direct copolycondensation of terephthalic and 4,4’-oxydibenzoic acids and hydrazine sulfate in oleum. Variation in the polycondensation conditions makes it possible to synthesize copolymers containing phenylene moieties with either 4-sulfo-10,10-dioxophenoxatiine or 4,4’-oxybis(3-sulfophenyl) moieties or a combination of the three moieties. This approach permits easy control over the physicochemical properties of the copolymers and the amount of protogenic sulfo groups. It is shown that the introduction of sulfonated moieties into copolymer molecules makes it possible to obtain materials with high values of ionexchange capacity (1.5 mmol/g) and water absorption (110%), while the strength and thermal stability inherent in poly(p-phenylene 1,3,4-oxadiazoles) remain intact.     

Mild and convenient one-pot synthesis of 1,3,4-oxadiazoles

A mild, general, convenient, and efficient one-pot synthesis of 2-phenyl-5-substituted-1,3,4-oxadiazoles is described. Both (hetero)aryl and alkyl carboxylic acids were efficiently condensed with benzohydrazide in the presence of TBTU to give diacylhydrazine intermediates. The latter underwent a smooth TsCl-mediated cyclodehydration reaction to afford 2-phenyl-5-substituted-1,3,4-oxadiazoles in good to very good yields.
