Desulfurization of 4-Nitro-N,2-diphenyl-3-(phenylamino)isothiazol- 5(2H)-imine: Formation of a 3-Imino-2-nitroprop-2-enamidine

The course of the desulfurization reaction of 4-nitro-N,2-diphenyl-3-(phenylamino)isothiazol-5(2H)-imine ( 3 ) is investigated and the formation of the unstable 3-imino-2-nitroprop-2-enamidine ( A ) as intermediate is discussed. Addition of amines and thiophenol to the reaction mixture yielded the amidine derivatives 5 and the thioimidate 6 , respectively, via nucleophilic addition of the respective reagent to A (Scheme 2). Benzoic acid and thiobenzoic acid afforded the amide 7 and the thioamide 8 , respectively, as secondary products of the expected adducts 7a and 8a (Schemes 3 and 4). The presence of (benzylidene)(methyl)amine in the reaction mixture of the desulfurization of 3 led to the 1,2,4-oxadiazole derivative 10 , together with the quinoxaline N-oxide 4 as a minor product. Reaction mechanisms involving an intermediate ketene imine and participation of the NO₂ group in the reaction leading to 1,2,4-oxadiazole 10 are proposed. Ab initio calculations of model structures for the nitroketene imine were performed and the results correlated with the experimental results. The structures of 8 and 10 were established by X-ray crystal-structure analysis.

The in situ oxidative polymerization of N-substituted aniline performed in the presence of multiwalled carbon nanotubes makes it possible to design an organized, effective structure of the conducting composite material with enhanced electrochemical capacity and stable capacity parameters during long cycling in protic (1 mol/L H₂SO₄) and aprotic (1 mol/L LiClO₄ in propylene carbonate) electrolytes.     

One-pot palladium-catalyzed C-I and C-H bond activation and subsequent Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling of 2-aryl-3-iodo-4-(phenylamino)quinolines with arylboronic acids

The 2-aryl-3-iodo-4-(phenylamino)quinolines undergo one-pot palladium-mediated C-I and C-H bond activation and subsequent Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling with arylboronic acids under anhydrous conditions to afford mixture of 2,3-diaryl-4-(phenylamino)quinolines (minor) and 2-aryl-4-([(1,1′-biaryl)-2-yl]amino)quinoline derivatives (major). The 2,3-diaryl-4-(phenylamino)quinolines were isolated as major products when 2 M K₂CO₃ was used as a base. A plausible mechanism, which implicates a six-membered palladacycle intermediate is proposed for the formation of the observed mixture of products. The prepared compounds were characterized using a combination of spectroscopic and X-ray crystallographic techniques.     

Synthesis of 3-amino-3,4-dihydroquinazolin-4-one derivatives from anthranilic acid hydrazide and dicarboxylic acids

Treatment of anthranilic acid hydrazide with 2 equiv of ethoxalyl chloride gave the corresponding diester which underwent cyclization in acetic anhydride to produce ethyl 3-(ethoxalylamino)-4-oxo-3,4-dihydroquinazoline-2-carboxylate. Acylation of anthranilic acid hydrazide first with succinic anhydride and then with ethoxalyl chloride led to the formation of 4-[2-(2-{[ethoxy(oxo)acetyl]amino}benzoyl)hydrazino]-4-oxobutanoic acid whose cyclization in acetic acid afforded N-(2-ethoxycarbonyl-4-oxo-3,4-dihydroquinazolin-3-yl)succinamic acid, while in acetic anhydride ethyl 3-(2,5-dioxopyrrolidin-1-yl)-4-oxo-3,4-dihydroquinazoline-2-carboxylate was obtained. The latter was brought into reactions with amines and hydrazine hydrate and alkaline hydrolysis. Acylation of 2-[2-(2-aminobenzoyl)hydrazinocarbonyl]benzoic acid with ethoxalyl chloride gave ethyl N-[2-(phthalimidocarbamoyl)phenyl]oxamate, and with succinic anhydride, 3-[4-oxo-3-phthalimido-3,4-dihydroquinazolin-2-yl]propionic acid. 4-[2-(2-Aminobenzoyl)hydrazino]-4-oxobutanoic acid reacted with phthalic anhydride in boiling acetic acid to give phthalazino[1,2-b]quinazoline-5,8-dione via elimination of succinic acid residue.     

Synthesis of novel 3-(1,3-thiazol-2-yl)-7,8-dihydroquinoline-2,5(1H,6H)-diones

An efficient method for the synthesis of novel 3-(1,3-thiazol-2-yl)-7,8-dihydroquinoline-2,5(1H,6H)-diones from various 2-dimethylaminomethylidenecyclohexane-1,3-diones, (1,3-thiazol-2-yl)acetonitriles, and dimethylformamide dimethyl acetal was developed. These transformations proceeded through intermediate 2-[2-(4-aryl-1,3-thiazol-2-yl)-2-cyanoethenyl]-3-oxocyclohex-1-en-1-olates. They were isolated as piperidinium salts and used in further heterocyclization reactions with aromatic amines, giving novel 1-aryl-3-(1,3-thiazol-2-yl)-7,8-dihydroquinoline-2,5(1H,6H)-diones. These compounds were also obtained by preparative three-step “one pot” synthesis under controlled microwave irradiation. Published in Russian in Izvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Quantum chemical study of the transformation of 2-(N-alkylamino)-3-(indol-1-yl)-and 2-(N-alkylamino)-3-(indol-3-yl)maleimides by protic acids: Tandem hydride transfer/cyclization mechanism

The geometric parameters, the charge distribution, and the energetics of N-methyl-2-(N-ethylanilino)-3-(indol-1-yl)-and N-methyl-2-(N-ethylanilino)-3-(indol-3-yl)maleimides and their conjugated acids were studied by density functional theory calculations at the B3LYP/6-31G(d) level. The mechanism of the tandem hydride transfer/cyclization sequence, which occurs after protonation of N-methyl-2-(N-ethylanilino)-3-(indol-1-yl)-and N-methyl-2-(N-ethylanilino)-3-(indol-3-yl)maleimides, was analyzed. The investigation of the potential energy surface for the tandem hydride transfer/cyclization of the iminium cation that formed upon protonation revealed that the hydride transfer followed by intramolecular cyclization at position 7 of the indole fragment in N-methyl-2-(N-ethylanilino)-3-(indol-1-yl)maleimide is the preferable process, unlike alternative intramolecular cyclization involving the cationic center at the C(2) atom of the indole fragment and the benzene ring of the N-ethylaniline fragment of the indoleninium cation in N-methyl-2-(N-ethylanilino)-3-(indol-3-yl)maleimide. A study of the key intermediates of the assumed reaction mechanism demonstrated that these intermediates are actually stationary points on the potential energy surface (minima and transition states).

2-(Phenylethynyl)isoborneol was synthesized by treatment of camphor with lithium phenylacetylide. Skeletal rearrangements of the title compound under the Ritter reaction conditions afforded a mixture of N-(4-phenylethynyl- and 4-benzoylmethyl-1,7,7-trimethylbicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-yl)acetamides at a ratio of 8:3. The reaction of 2-(phenylethynyl)isoborneol with formic acid involved mainly Meyer-Schuster rearrangement instead of the expected Rupe rearrangement, and the major product was 2-(1,7,7-trimethylbicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-ylidene)-1-phenylethanone. The minor product (∼6%) was 1-(2-hydroxy-1,7,7-trimethylbicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-yl)-2-phenylethanone. The Ritter reaction of 2-(1,7,7-trimethylbicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-ylidene)-1-phenylethanone selectively yielded N-(4-benzoylmethyl-1,7,7-trimethylbicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-yl)acetamide.__________Translated from Zhurnal Organicheskoi Khimii, Vol. 41, No. 6, 2005, pp. 853–858.Original Russian Text Copyright © 2005 by Koval’skaya, Kozlov, Dikusar.
