Synthesis and Some Reactions of 4-Aroyl-3-Chloro-6-p-Tolylpyridazines

4-Aroyl-3-chloro-6-p-tolylpyridazines (3a &b) were prepared by the action of phosphorous oxychloride on (2). (3a &b) react with hydrazine hydrate to give the pyrazolinopyridazines (4a &b) and with hydroxylamine hydrochloride to give the isoxazolopyridazines (7a &b), respectively. (4b) was also synthesized by the action of phosphorous oxychloride on the hydrazone (5). The reaction of (3a &b) with primary amines in boiling ethanol gives (8a-e), while their reaction with primary aromatic amines in the presence of solvent gives the Schiff's bases (9a-c).     

HYDROCHLORINATION OF 2,3-ACETYLENIC ACIDS WITH THIONYL CHLORIDE IN DIMETHYLFORMAMIDE

ABSTRACT

The reaction of 2,3-acetylenic acids (1a–d) with thionyl chloride in DMF under mild conditions gave E,Z-3-chloro-2-alkenoic acids (2a–d) or esters (3a–d) depending on treating the reaction mixture with either water or alcohols.     

Chlorination of 2-Chloroquinoline-3-carbaldehydes

Reactions of 2-chloroquinoline-3-carbaldehydes (1) with chlorine, thionyl chloride and sulphuryl chloride are investigated. Preparation of 2-chloroquinoline-3-carbonyl chlorides (2) and 2-chloro-3-dichloromethylquinolines (5) as products of these reactions is described.     

Novel synthesis of cyclic methylvinylsiloxanes by the reaction of methylvinyl diethoxysilane with phosphorous pentachloride

We report a novel synthesis of the cyclic oligomers [(H₂C?CH)(CH₃)SiO]_n obtained by the reaction between phosphorous pentachloride and methylvinyl diethoxysilane. According to gas chromatography/mass spectrometry data, the reaction product consisted of a mixture of cyclic oligomers in which the most important fractions were composed of cycles with n = 5, 6, or 7. The reaction product was also characterized by Fourier transform infrared and ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectroscopy. Experimental results suggested a new kind of reaction between the phosphorous pentachloride and terminal olefins directly bonded to silicon, which was probably associated with sterical effects favoring C? O? Si bond cleavage of ethoxy groups instead of the conventional addition of phosphorous pentachloride to olefinic linkages. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

New synthesis of ( E )-3,7-dimethyl-2,7-octadienylpropionate and ( E )-3,7-dimethyl-2-octen-1,8-diol, pheromone components of San Jose scaleinsect Quadraspidiotus pernicious and african monarch butterfly Danaus chrysippus

6-Methyl-6-hepten-2-one (3) on reaction with ethyl α-dimethylphosphonate/NaH gives a mixture of (E)-and (Z)-conjugated esters. The major (E)-isomer, (E)-ethyl-3,7-dimethyl-2,7-octadienoate (4), on reduction with LiAlH₄ at room temperature furnishes (E)-3,7-dimethyl-2,7-octadien-l-ol (5) which on propionylation affords (E)-3,7-dimethyl-2,7-octadienyl propionate (1). Carbinol (5) is converted into its silyl ether (E)-2,6-dimethyl-8-t-butyldimethylsilyloxy-l,6-octadiene (6) witht-Bu(Me)₂SiCl in CH₂Cl₂, which on hydroboronation-oxidation with 9-BBN/NaOH-H₂O₂ followed by disilylalion with (n-Bu)₄N⁺ F⁻ at room temperature, gives (E)-3,7-dimethyl-2-octen-l,8-diol (2).     

New Preparation of Cyclic Acyloxyphosphorane by Reaction of Glyoxylic Acid with Phosphorus(III) Compounds

We have recently found that the reaction of α-keto acids (1) with phosphorus (III) compounds (3) yielded cyclic acyloxyphosphoranes(C-AOPs, 4), a new class of pentacovalent phosphorus species having a P-OC(O) group.^{1, 2)} The present paper deals with a new reaction of glyoxylic acid (2) with 3 to give C-AOPs (5) having no substituent at the C-3 position. 1 is an α-keto acid whereas 2 can be taken as an α-formyl acid. Although it is well known in the field of organic chemistry that the formyl group often behaves differently from a keto group, the reaction of 2 with 3 provides an example in which both groups behave in a similar manner.     

CHLOROSULFONATION OF N-PHENYLMORPHOLINE,BENZOTHIAZOLE, 2-METHYL BENZOTHIAZOLE AND TRIPHENYLOXAZOLE

Abstract

N-Phenylmorpholine (1) reacted with chlorosulfonic acid to give the p-sulfonyl chloride (2), which was characterized as the sulfonamides (3–5). Benzothiazole (6) was converted into the sulfonyl chloride (7) by sequential treatment with hot chlorosulfonic acid and thionyl chloride. Reaction of (7) with amines afforded the derivatives (8–10); NMR spectral analysis of the dimethylamide (8) indicated that it was a mixture of the 4- and 7-isomers. Chlorosulfonation of 2-methylbenzothiazole (11) was achieved by heating with chlorosulfonic acid with or without thionyl chloride. The chloride (12) was converted into amides (13–19). Study of the NMR spectra indicated that mixtures of the 5- and 6-isomers were formed. 2,4,5-Triphenyloxazole (20) reacted with chlorosulfonic acid to give either the mono-(21), bis (23) or bis-tris sulfonylchlorides (23, 34); these were converted into 14 sulfonamides. 2-(p-Nitrophenyl)-4,5-diphenyloxazole (41) reacted with hot chlorosulfonic acid to give the bis-sulfonyl chloride (42), characterized as the dimethylsulfonamide (43). Attempts to form the pure monosulfonyl chloride and to mono nitrate 2,4,5-triphenyloxazole (20) were unsuccessful.     

Condensed imidazo-1,2,4-azines. 14. Synthesis and reactivity of 3-chlorine-substituted imidazo[1,2-b]-1,2,4-triazines

When boiled with phosphorus pentachloride in phosphorus oxychloride, 2-methyl-6-phenyl-imidazo[1,2-b]1,2,4-triazin-4H-3-one gives a mixture of mono- and dichloro derivatives, whereas the action of thionyl chloride in chloroform with a catalytic amount of DMFA gives only the monosubstituted product 2-methyl-3-chloro-6-phenylimidazo[1,2-b]-1,2,4-triazine. The reactivity of the 3-chloro derivatives of imidazo[1,2-b]-1,2,4-triazine in reactions with diethylamine, piperidine, morpholine, aniline, hydrazine hydrate and thiourea was investigated.For Communication 13, see [1].Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 7, pp. 981–985, July, 1986.

Synthetic approach to natural products by Claisen rearrangement of glyceraldehyde derivatives

For the purpose of organic syntheses of some corynanthe-type indole alkaloids, sesquiterpenes, and steroids, optically active intermediates cyclopentanone 3-allylalcohol, α-methylene-γ-butylo lactones andtrans-hydrindanone-propionic acid, were synthesized from (R)- and (S)-isopropylideneglyceraldehyde derived fromD-mannitol andLascorbic acid, respectively, utilizing Claisen rearrangement as a key reaction. Actually total syntheses of natural alkaloids, (-)-antirhine, (+)-dihydroantirhine and (-) dihydrocorynantheol were accomplished.     

Conversion of the carboxyl group to the corresponding trichloromethyl group in the quinoline series

Various substituted quinaldinic acids were treated with phosphorus pentachloride in an excess of thionyl chloride. Carboxyl groups of quinaldinic acid, 6-methyl-, 6-chloro-, 4-phenyl- and 4-(p-chlorophenyl)quinaldinic acids and benzo[f]quinoline-3-carboxylic acid were converted to the trichloromethyl group, while those of 8-methyl-, 4-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-, 4-(p-nitrophenyl)-quinaldinic acids and benzo[h]quinoline-2-carboxylic acid were not. The difference is discussed on the basis of the effects of the basicity of ring nitrogen and steric factors.     

Integral invariants for high-symmetry open-shell molecules

A method for calculating the energies of electronic states arising from a degenerate open shellγ ^N in terms of integral invariants H^k(γ,γ) is presented. The calculation proceeds from expansions for the electron repulsion integrals 〈mm/nn〉 on degenerate orbitals ofγ symmetry in terms of H^k(γ,γ). The energies of states for theγ ^N electronic configurations with dimγ≤3 (e^N and t^N configurations) are tabulated. Institute of Catalysis, Siberian Branch, Russian Academy of Sciences.

Synthesis and Stereochemistry of Some new Derivatives of 1,2-O-Cyclohexylidene-α-D-Xylofuranuronic Acid

Abstract

1,2-O-Cyclohexylidene-α-d-xylofuranuronic acid (2) has been converted into its 3-O-acetyl derivative and consecutively to the corresponding acid chloride and ethyl ester. Direct reaction of 2 with ethanol in the presence of p-to-luene sulphonic acid gave the ethyl ester. Reaction of 2 with phosphorus pentachloride in dry ether gave the acid chloride of 1,2-O-cyclohexylidene-3-O-dichlorophosphoryl–α-d-xylofuranuronic acid. Conformational data have been obtained from ¹H and ¹³C NMR measurements.     

A Reinvestigation of the Dichlorination of Thymidine

The reaction of thymidine with thionyl chloride in HMPA, reported¹ to give pure 1-(3,5-dichloro-2,3,5-trideoxy-β-D-threo-pentofuranosyl)thymine, has been found to give a mixture of erythro and threo isomers. Upon reacting thymidine with thionyl chloride, according to the literature procedure,¹ a product was isolated which melted 138–141°C [reported¹ 138–140°C] and gave one spot in CHCl₃/ETOH (4:1) on Eastman silica gel sheets at R_f=0.6 [reported¹ one spot at R_f=0.7 on Baker silica gel sheets]. However, the TLC of the product in neat ethyl acetate or CHCl₃/MeOH (9:1) gave two spots. A sample was separated into pure components by flash chromatography².     

Integral invariants for high-symmetry open-shell molecules.

A numerical procedure for expanding electron repulsion integrals 〈mm|nn〉 on degenerate molecular orbitals of γ symmetry (γ=e, t, g, h) into integral invariants (reduced matrix elements) H^k(γ, γ) is suggested. The latter are analogous in their sense to Slater-Condon parameters F^k(l, l) for atoms with an electronic configuration l^N. The method is applicable to nonlinear molecules of arbitrary symmetries, including “not readily reducible” groups. G. K. Boreskov Institute of Catalysis, Siberian Branch, Russian Academy of Sciences.

Kinetic study on the conversion of pyridine- and quinolinecarboxylic acids to the corresponding trichloromethyl compounds

The reaction rates of the conversion of various substituted picolinic and quinaldinic acids to the corresponding trichloromethylpyridines and quinolines by treatment with phosphorus pentachloride in refluxing thionyl chloride have been measured, and the apparent second-order kinetic constants determined. The logarithmic rate constants (log k) were found to be linear with the basicities (pKa) of the unsaturated ring nitrogens in the substrates. The reaction constant, p, of the conversion was estimated.     

Phototransformations of 4,5-diphenylisoxazole

Sunlight photolysis of 4,5-diphenylisoxazole (1) in methanol sensitized by benzophenone gives 4,4′,5,5′-tetraphenyl-2,2′-bioxazole, (4). On irradiation at 350nm in acetone or at 253.7 nm in absolute alcohol, isoxazole (1) yields α-benzoylphenylacetonitrile (6) besides the expected phenanthro [9,10-d]-oxazole (5). The bioxazole and the ketonitrile have been identified by single crystal X-ray studies.     

Base Promoted Rearrangement of Carbonate Esters Derived from Aldehyde Cyanohydrins: Application to the Synthesis of α-Keto Esters

Acylation of the cyanohydrin derivative (2) of representative aldehydes with ethyl chloroformate, followed by treatment of the corresponding mixed carbonate esters (3) with lithium hexamethyldisilazide, afforded the cyanohydrin derivative (4) of α-keto esters. Cleavage of the latter (4) with 2,6-lutidine in the presence of silver nitrate led to the procurement of α-keto esters in >50% overall yield.
