Asymmetric Cyclic Phosphorothonamides Containing Substituted Pyridine

In order to find high-acitivity and low-toxicity pesticidal lead compounds, a type of novel, asymmetric cyclic phosphorothonamides containing substituted pyridine were synthesized via the condensation reactions of 2-chloro-4-substitutedphenyl-5,5-dimethyl-1,3,2-dioxaphosphinane 2-sulfide with 3-aminomethylpyridine. The cis and trans isomers of the products were isolated by column chromatography on silica gel. The structures of the products were characterized by ¹ H NMR, ³¹ P NMR, MS, and elemental analyses. The configuration of 3a was determined by X-ray diffraction analysis. The results of the preliminary bioassay showed that the new compounds possess potential fungicidal activities.     

Reaction of Zinc and Sodium Enolates of 3-Alkyl-6-aryl-5,5-dimethyl-2,3,5,6-tetrahydropyrane-2,4-diones with Acyl Chlorides or Benzyl Bromides

Zinc enolates of 3-alkyl-6-aryl-5,5-dimethyl-2,3,5,6-tetrahydropyrane-2,4-diones react with acyl chlorides to form O-acylation products, 4-acyloxy-3-alkyl-6-aryl-5,5-dimethyl-5,6-dihydropyrane-2-ones. Sodium enolates of these pyranediones react in DMSO with substituted benzyl bromides to give mainly C-alkylation products, 3-alkyl-6-aryl-3-(4-R-benzyl)-5,5-dimethyl-2,3,5,6-tetrahydropyrane-2,4-diones, as single geometric isomers. In some cases, O-alkylation products, 4-alkoxy-3-alkyl-6-aryl-5,5-dimethyl-5,6-dihydropyrane-2-ones, are formed as by-products (10-15%).

Synthesis and reactions of 1-(4-chloro-, 3-chloro-, 2-chloro-, 2,4-dichloro-, and 2,4-difluorophenyl)-6,6-dimethyl-4-oxo-4,5,6,7-tetrahydroindazoles

Reaction of the potassium salt of 2-formyldimedone with hydrochlorides of 4-chloro-, 3-chloro-, 2-chloro-, 2,4-dichloro-, and 2,4-difluorophenylhydrazines gave the corresponding 2-arylhydrazinomethylene-dimedones which cyclized in acid media to 1-substituted 6,6-dimethyl-4-oxo-4,5,6,7-tetrahydroindazoles. Oxidation of the latter with selenious acid gave the corresponding 4,5-dioxo-4,5,6,7-tetrahydroindazoles which were further converted into 3-aryl-5,5-dimethyl-4,5-dihydro-3H-pyrazolo[4,3-a]phenazines and 2,6-diaryl-4,4-dimethyl-4,5-dihydro-1H(3H)-indazolo[4,5-g]imidazoles.Riga Technical University, Riga LV-1658, Latvia; e-mail: marina@osi.lv.

Reactions of arylamines with 4-aryl-2-hydroxy-4-oxobut-2-enoic and 2-hydroxy-5,5-dimethyl-4-oxohex-2-enoic acids gave rise to 4-aryl-2-arylamino-4-oxobut-2-enoic and 2-aryl-amino-5,5-dimethyl-4-oxohex-2-enoic acids that existed in solutions as Z- and E-isomers or in a ring form as 3-arylamino-5-tert-butyl-5-hydroxyfuran-2(5H)-ones. The probable cyclization mechanism of these compounds into 5-R-3-arylimino-3H-furan-2-one derivatives was considered.     

Regioselectivity in the 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of nitrile oxides to 3,3-methylene-5,5-dimethyl-2-pyrrolidinone

Summary Nitrile oxides add regioselectively to the carbon-carbon double bond of 3,3-methylene-5,5-dimethyl-2-pyrrolidinone (1), giving exclusively spiro-isoxazolines: 3-aryl-6-oxo-8,8-dimethyl-1-oxa-2,7-diazaspiro[4.4]non-2-enes3 a–l. The regiochemistry of the 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition to 1 seems to be controlled by the steric effect of the methyl groups at the ring junction and by frontier orbital interactions.Part XXV in the series 1,3-Dipolar Cycloaddition on Heterocycles.

Design,synthesis and herbicidal activity of novel cyclic phosphonates with diaryl ethers containing pyrimidine

Abstract

Thirteen novel cyclic phosphates were rationally designed and synthesized by introducing diary ethers containing pyrimidine. All the target compounds were characterized by ¹H, ¹³C, ³¹P NMR and HRMS. The test of herbicidal activity indicated that most of the compounds showed good herbicidal activities against Amaranthus retroflexus. The compounds IA-2 (1-(5,5-dimethyl-2-oxido-1,3,2-dioxaphosphinan-2-yl)propyl-2-((4,6-dimethoxypyrimidin-2-yl)oxy)benzoate) and IA-3 ((5,5-dimethyl-2-oxido-1,3,2-dioxaphosphinan-2-yl)(phenyl)methyl-2-((4,6-dimethoxypyrimidin-2-yl)oxy)benzoate) exhibited remarkable post-emergency herbicidal activity against the tested monocotyledonous weed at the dosage of 112.5?g ai/ha.

The reaction of (2-phenylaminobenzoyl)hydrazine with 4-aryl-2-hydroxy-4-oxobut-2-enoic and 2-hydroxy-5,5-dimethyl-4-oxohex-2-enoic acids results in the formation of 4-aryl-2-(2-phenylaminobenzoyl-hydrazono)-4-oxobutanoic and 5,5-dimethyl-2-(2-phenylaminobenzoylhydrazono)-4-oxohexanoic acids. The products in solutions are present as mixtures of a Z,E-hydrazono form and a cyclic pyrazolinic form, and under the action of acetic anhydride they cyclize in 5-aryl- and 5-tert-butyl-3-(2-phenylaminobenzoylhydrazono)-furan-2,3-diones. 4-Aryl-2-(2-phenylaminobenzoylhydrazono)-4-oxobutanoic and 5,5-dimethyl-2-(2-phenyl-aminobenzoylhydrazono)-4-oxohexanoic acids were tested for antinociceptive and anti-inflammatory activity.

     

Iminofuran chemistry: VII. Intramolecular cyclization of 2-N-aryl-substituted derivatives of 2-amino-4-aryl-4-oxobut-2-enoic and 2-amino-5,5-dimethyl4-oxohex-2-enoic acids

The cyclization at the treatment of acetic anhydride of 4-aryl-2-arylamino-4-oxobut-2-enoic and 2-arylamino-5,5-dimethyl-4-oxohex-2-enoic acids was investigated furnishing derivatives of 5-aryl-3-aryl-imino-3H-furan-2-ones and 4-arylamino-2-tert-butyl-2,5-dihydro-5-oxofuran-2-yl acetate respectively. 2-N²-Methylenesubstituted 4-aryl-2-hydrazino-4-oxobut-2-enoic and 5,5-dimethyl-2-hydrazino-4-oxohex-2-enoic acids cleanly underwent cyclization under the effect of acetic anhydride into 5-aryl-3-hydrazono-3H-furan-2-ones and 5-tert-butyl-3-hydrazono-3H-furan-2-ones.     

Synthesis of Alkyl 4-(1-Alkyl-2-aryl-2-oxoethyl)-5,5-dimethyl-2-oxotetrahydrofuran-3-carboxylates

Zinc enolates derived from 1-aryl-2-bromoalkanones react with alkyl 5,5-dimethyl-2-oxo-2,5-dihydrofuran-3-carboxylates to give alkyl 4-(1-alkyl-2-aryl-2-oxoethyl)-5,5-dimethyl-2-oxotetrahydrofuran-3-carboxylates. Reactions of the latter with amines, such as p-toluidine, cyclohexylamine, and piperidine, lead to the corresponding carboxamides.

Synthesis of 2-aryl-6,6-dimethyl-8-oxo-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-1,2,4-4H-triazolo[3,2-b]benzothiazoles and their 3-aryl-[3,4-b] isomers

Summary Condensation of 3-aryl-5-thio-1,2,4-4H-trizoles (2a–i) and 2-bromodimedone (3) inTHF/benzene gave 2-aryl-6,6-dimethyl-8-oxo-5a-hydroxy-5,5a,6,7,8,8a-hexahydro-1,2,4-4H-triazolo[3,2-b]benzothiazoles (5a–i). These were also obtained by a one step synthesis on heating a mixture of dimedone,NBS, and2a–i in benzene containing a trace of benzoyl peroxide. Thermal dehydration of5a–i inPPA/anhydrous ethanol yielded the corresponding 2-aryl-6,6-dimethyl-8-oxo-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-1,2,4-4H-triazolo[3,2,b]benzothiazoles (6a–i). The formation of [3,4-b] fused isomers (4a–i) during the reaction of2 with3 was ruled out by an unambiguous synthesis of8a–i. Antibacterial screening of selected compounds againstEscherichia coli andStaphylococcus aureus was not encouraging.

Five-membered 2.3-dioxo heterocycles: LXVIII. Three pathways in the reaction of methyl 3-aroyl-1-aryl-4,5-dioxo-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrrole-2-carboxylates with 3-amino-5,5-dimethylcyclohex-2-en-1-one

Methyl 3-aroyl-1-aryl-4,5-dioxo-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrrole-2-carboxylates reacted with 3-amino-5,5-dimethylcyclohex-2-en-1-one having no substituent on the nitrogen atom to give 3-aroyl-4-arylamino-6′,6′-dimethyl-6′,7′-dihydro-5H-spiro[furan-2,3′-indole]-2′,4′,5′(1′H,5′H)-triones or methyl 12-aroyl-11-aryl-9-hydroxy-5,5-dimethyl-3,10-dioxo-8,11-diazatricyclo[7.2.1.0^2,7]dodec-2(7)-ene-1-carboxylates. The latter underwent thermal recyclization to 3′-aroyl-1′-aryl-4′-hydroxy-6,6-dimethyl-6,7-dihydrospiro[indole-3,2′-pyrrole]-2,4,5′(1H,1′H,5H)-triones.     

Synthesis of 2-aryl-3-hydroxymethyl-5,5-difluoropiperidines

A strategy toward the synthesis of functionalized 5,5-difluoropiperidines, a class of compounds with potential as building block in medicinal chemistry, was developed. In a three-step procedure 2,2-difluoroglutaric anhydride was synthesized starting from ethyl bromodifluoroacetate. This key intermediate reacts fluently with various imines to yield 5,5-difluoropiperidinone carboxylic acids. Subsequent esterification of the obtained carboxylic acids enabled the isolation of trans-substituted 5,5-difluoro-2-arylpiperidinone-3-carboxylates as the major isomers. Reduction of the difluorinated piperidinonecarboxylates using borane gave rise to new trans-2-aryl-1-benzyl-5,5-difluoro-3-hydroxymethylpiperidines in excellent yields.     

10-Aryl-7,7-dimethyl-5,6,7,8,9,10-hexahydro-11H-pyrido[3,2-b][1,4]benzodiazepin-9-ones

In reactions of 3-(2-amino-3-pyridyl)amino-5,5-dimethylcyclohex-2-en-1-one with aromatic aldehydes (2- and 4-hydroxy-, 2-hydroxy-3-methoxy-, 4-dimethylamino-, 4-methoxy-, 2,4- and 3,4-dimethoxy-, 3,4-methylenedioxy-, 4-bromo-, 4-fluoro-, 4-chloro-, 2-nitro- and 3-nitrobenzaldehydes, furfural, and 2-thiophenecarbaldehyde), we have obtained the corresponding 10-aryl-7,7-dimethyl-5,6,7,8,9,10-hexahydro-11H-pyrido[3,2-b][1,4]benzodiazepin-9-ones.     

Photochemistry of Chlorinated 2-Cycloalkenones

The 6-chloro-2-cyclohexenones 3, 6 and 11 , and the 5-chloro-2-cyclopentenone 15 were newly synthesized. The results obtained with compounds 3 and 15 in photocycloadditions to olefins show that the oxetane vs. cyclobutane product ratio is reduced by the substitution of florine by chlorine in the α′ -position of the enone. No oxetanes are formed in the intramolecular photocycloaddition of 6. Compound 11 does not photoadd to olefins. The newly synthesized 2-chloro-3-cyclohexenones 8 and 9 are also photostable towards light of λ=366 nm, but π-π*-excitation (λ=254 nm) in pentane leads to the formation of 4,4-dimethylcyclohexanone (29) .
