Synthesis and properties of 2-(2-furyl)benzothiazole

The electrophilic reactions (nitration, bromination, hydroxymethylation, formylation, acylation) and radical substitution reactions (nitration, arylation) of 2-(2-furyl)benzothiazole have been studied. It was found that all of the reactions occur at position 5 of the furan ring. Only nitration in PPA gave the 5',6-dinitro derivative. Quantum-chemical calculation data for the electron density distribution in the neutral and protonated 2-(2-furyl)benzothiazole molecules are given. Dedicated to Boris Aleksandrovich Trofimov on his 70^th jubilee. Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 9, pp. 1331–1338, September, 2008.     

5-Methyl-2-furylglyoxal, 5-Methyl-4-nitro-2-furylglyoxal, and Their Derivatives. Nitration of 2-(5-Methyl-2-furyl)quinoxaline

The oxidation of 2-acetyl-5-methyl-4-R-furans (R = H, NO₂) by selenious acid was studied. Derivatives substituted at the C=O groups of the corresponding glyoxals were obtained. The nitration of 2-(5-methyl-2-furyl)quinoxaline was carried out at C_(4'). Oxidative splitting of the -nitrofuryl group occurs at the C₍₄₎-C₍₅₎ and C₍₅₎-O bonds.     

Reaction of furfurylidene acetone with Grignard reagents

The interaction of furfurylidene acetone with methylmagnesium iodide and ethylmagnesium halides has been studied. In the first case 2-methyl-4-(2-furyl)-3-buten-2-ol is formed as the product of 1,2-addition (yield 73 %). In the second case 4-(2-furyl)-2-hexanone (42 %) is the result of 1,4-addition, whereas 3-methyl-5-(2-furyl)-3-heptanol (45 %) is formed by consecutive 1,2- and 1,4-addition. In all cases the products of 1,3-addition were found.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk. Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 5, pp. 921–923, May, 1993.     

The bromination of 2-amino- and 2-acetylamino-4-(2-furyl)-thiazoles

The bromination of 2-amino-and 2-acetylamino-4-(2-furyl)thiazoles has been studied, and it has been shown that bromination takes place first in the furan ring and then, with an excess of bromine, also in the thiazole ring in position 5.     

Nitration of 2- and 4-[2-(2-furyl)vinyl]thiazole derivatives

Nitration of 4-methyl-2-[2-(nitro-2-furyl)vinyl]thiazole with a mixture of concentrated nitric and sulfuric acids leads to 4-methyl-5-nitro-2-[2-(3,5-dinitro-2-furyl)vinyl]thiazole. Under the same conditions 2-methyl- and 2-acetamido-4-[1-R-2-(5-nitro-2-furyl)vinyl]thiazoles (R=CH₃, Cl) are nitrated in the 3 position of the furan ring, 2-amino-4-[1-chloro-2-(5-nitro-2-furyl)vinyl]thiazole is nitrated in the 5 position of the thiazole ring and 2-acetamido-5-nitro-4-[2-(2-furyl)vinyl]thiazole undergoes profound changes. Under the influence of a mixture of of nitric acid and acetic anhydride the latter compound is converted quantitatively to the 5-nitro derivative (with respect to the furan ring), whereas 4-[2-(5-nitro-2-furyl)vinyl]thiazole derivatives do not undergo reaction.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 3, pp. 314–317, March, 1977.     

Preparation and root growth-modulatory activity of N-substituted 2-acetylamino-2-ethoxycarbonyl-3-(2-furyl)propanamides

N-Substituted 2-acetylamino-2-ethoxycarbonyl-3-(2-furyl)propanamides (8) were synthesized through the reaction of amines (13) with 2-acetylamino-2-ethoxycarbonyl-3-(2-furyl)propanoic acid (3b), which was prepared via condensation of 2-(bromomethyl)furan (10b) with diethyl acetamidomalonate, followed by partial hydrolysis of the resultant diethyl ester (3a) in the presence of barium hydroxide. However, bulky amines such as tert-butylamine or 2-trifluoromethylaniline did not afford the corresponding diamides (8). The biological activity of the prepared diamides (8) as root growth modulators was examined by germination assay using rape and leek seeds. N-(5-Bromo-2-thiazolyl)- and N-(4-chloro-2-benzothiazolyl)-2-acetylamino-2-ethoxycarbonyl-3-(2-furyl)propanamides (8h, i) both potently inhibited the root growth of rape seedlings, but were less effective in the case of leek seeds. The herbicide 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid completely inhibited root growth in both cases.

2-(2-furyl)imidazo[1,2-a]pyrimidine synthesis and electrophilic substitution reactions

The synthesis of 2-(2-furyl)imidazo[1,2-a]pyrimidine has been carried out. Azocoupling, nitrosation, and bromination by 1 mole of bromine occur at position 3 of the bicycle. Reaction with 2 mol of bromine gives the 3,5‰-disubstituted derivative. Bromination using 1 mol of bromine in 40% hydrobromic acid and sulfonation occur initially at the 5‰ position of the furyl group. __________ Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 4, pp. 565–570, April, 2006.

Alkaloids of Siberia and Altai flora: XVIII. Alkyl 2-acetylamino-5-[2-(pyridin-3-yl)vinyl]benzoates in the synthesis of indolizines containing an anthranilic acid ester moiety

Methyl 2-acetylamino-5-[2-(6-methylpyridin-3-yl)vinyl]benzoate reacted with phenacyl bromide to produce quaternary 1-(2-aryl-2-oxoethyl)-2-methyl-5-(4-acetylamino-3-methoxycarbonyl)pyridinium bromides. 1,3-Dipolar cycloaddition of the latter to methyl propynoate and dimethyl but-2-ynedioate gave the corresponding indolizine derivatives containing an anthranilic acid ester moiety. Reactions of acetylenes with N-phenacylpyridinium salts obtained from a diterpene alkaloid derivative, 2-(pyridin-3-yl)vinyl-substituted lappaconitine afforded analogous compounds in which the indolizine fragment is conjugated to the aromatic ring of the alkaloid. 1,3-Dipolar cycloaddition of 1-(2-aryl-2-oxoethyl)-2-methyl-5-(4-acetylamino-3-methoxycarbonyl) pyridinium bromides with methyl propynoate was regioselective.
