Synthesis of a novel tetracationic acidic organic salt based on DABCO and its applications as catalyst in the Knoevenagel condensation reactions in water

Synthesis of a novel tetracationic acidic organic salt based on DABCO containing two sulfonic acid groups in the skeleton and four hydrogensulfate groups as counterion is described. Its catalytic efficiency in the Knoevenagel condensation of aldehydes with active cyclic methylene compounds in water is investigated. While 2,2'-(phenylmethylene)bis(3-hydroxy-5,5-dimethylcyclohex-2-enone) derivatives were obtained in 40–98% isolated yields in the reaction of aldehydes with dimedone, the corresponding Knoevenagel adducts were provided in 85–95% yields using 1,3-dimethylbarbituric acid. In addition, a DABCO-based polycationic organic salt polymer was prepared and characterized for the first time.

2-[2-(2,3-Dihydrobenzimidazolylidene)]- and 2-[2-(2,3-Dihydropyrido[2,3-d]imidazolylidene)]-5,5-dimethyl-1,3-cyclohexanediones

The reaction of 2-aminocarbonyl-5,5-dimethyl-1,3-cyclohexanedione with 2,3-diaminopyridine, 1,2-phenylenediamine (and its 4-methyl, 4-nitro, 4-carboxy, and 4-benzoyl derivatives), and 3,3-diaminobenzidine gave the corresponding 2-[2-(2,3-dihydrobenzimidazolylidene)]- and 2-[2-(2,3-dihydropyrido[2,3-d]imidazolylidene)]-5,5-dimethyl-1,3-cyclohexanediones. Their structure was confirmed by ¹H NMR spectroscopic data and X-ray analysis.     

Spectrophotometric determination and kinetic studies of condensation of aromatic aldehydes with 1,3-dimethylbarbituric acid

The condensation reaction of 1,3-dimethylbarbituric acid with aromatic aldehydes in ethanol has been investigated spectrophotometrically at 25–35°C. The reaction follows overall second-order kinetics, first-order each in reactant. From the dependence of the rate constants on temperature, activation parameters have been calculated. The rate of condensation increases with the presence of electron donating groups on the aromatic ring of the aldehyde. The rate-determining step involves dehydration of the aldol intermediate. The reaction was found to be catalyzed by HCl solutions. Based on this reaction, determination of 10 aromatic aldehydes in a concentration range of 0.13–70.25 μg/ml is proposed. The method was applied for determination of barbituric and 1,3-dimethylbarbituric acids also.     

Addition of 1,2- and 1,3-Dithiols to 2-alkoxypropenals - a New Method for the Production of Substituted Dithiacycloalkanes

The reaction of 2-alkoxypropenals with ethane-1,2-dithiols and propane-1,3-dithiols under various conditions was studied by ¹H NMR and chromato-mass spectrometry. Under kinetically controlled conditions at 20° in the absence of catalysts the addition of dithiols takes place according to the Markovnikov rule. The primary adducts are unstable and are quickly converted into the corresponding substituted 1,4-dithiacycloheptane or 1,4-dithiane. The latter in turn can be converted under the reaction conditions or at high temperature into a thiolane derivative. The reaction of 2-ethoxypropenal with a twofold excess of ethane-1,2-dithiol at 60°C in the presence of p-toluenesulfonic acid leads to 2-methyl-2,2'-bi(dithiolane)     

A rapid and facile synthesis of new spiropyrimidines from 5-(2-arylethylidene-2-oxo)-1,3-dimethylpyrimidine-2,4,6-triones

A series of new tetraazaspiro[5,5]-undec-4-ene-2,7,9,11-tetraones have been obtained by reaction of 5-(2-arylethylidene-2-oxo)-1,3-dimethylpyrimidine-2,4,6-triones with ureas. A three-component one-pot procedure to the spiranes synthesis was also developed. One-pot reaction of arylglyoxals, 1,3-dimethylbarbituric acid, and dimethylurea led to imidazolyl-1,3-dimethylbarbituric acids. Mechanisms of studied reactions were discussed.     

Synthesis and Structural Investigation of a Complete Series of Brightly Colored Alkali Metal 1,3-Dimethylviolurates

A complete series of alkali metal 1,3-dimethylviolurates M(Me₂Vio) was synthesized and fully characterized. The title compounds M(Me₂Vio)(H₂O) [M = Li ( 3 ), Na ( 4 )], K(Me₂Vio)(H₂O)_0.5 ( 5 ) and M(Me₂Vio) [M = Rb ( 6 ), Cs ( 7 )] were prepared by neutralizing 1,3-dimethylvioluric acid (= HMe₂Vio; 2 ) with 1 equiv. of the corresponding metal hydroxides MOH. The resulting salts exhibit striking colors ranging from orange-red ( 3 ) through purple ( 4 , 5 ) to bright blue ( 6 , 7 ). In contrast to the monohydrate 4 , the classical synthesis of sodium 1,3-dimethylviolurate from 1,3-dimethylbarbituric acid and NaNO₂ afforded the purple trihydrate Na(Me₂Vio)(H₂O)₃ ( 4a ). All new compounds have been fully characterized by their IR and NMR (¹H, ¹³C) spectra as well as elemental analyses. X-ray crystal structure determination revealed that the title compounds exist as one- (Li, Na), two- (K, Cs), or three-dimensional (Rb) coordination polymers in the solid state.

The intramolecular hetero-Diels-Alder reaction of 1-oxa-1,3-butadiene 3 and an unactivated alkyne in the presence of CuI led to tetracyclic uracils 4 in aqueous media with good yields. The 1-oxa-1,3-butadiene 3 was prepared through Knoevenagel reaction of O-propargylated salicylaldehyde derivatives and barbituric acid or 1,3-dimethylbarbituric acid.

Summary The enamine-type methylene-N-heterocycles1–5 react with cyclic 2-ethoxymethylene-1,3-dicarbonyl compounds6 to give 2-[2-(hetarylidene)ethylidene]-1,3-dicarbonyl compounds7–14. The result of the reactions between 1,2-dihydro-1-methyl-2-methylene-quinoline (1a) and cyclic 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds depends on the nature of the dihydro intermediatesA/B. Dehydrogenation of keton intermediatesA results in 2-(1,2-dimethyl-4(1H)-quinolylidene)-1,3-dicarbonyl compounds17–21. Enol intermediatesB with 6-membered dicarbonyl ring form 6,12-methano-dibenz-[d,g][1,3]oxazocinones22–25.¹H NMR spectra and X-ray structure analysis prove the structure of23.

Nucleophilic substitution approach towards 1,3-dimethylbarbituric acid derivatives—new synthetic routes and crystal structures

We describe simple, convenient and high-yielding nucleophilic substitution reactions to synthesize new derivatives of 1,3-dimethylbarbituric acid (1a). Based on its active C5 position, condensing 1a with sulfuryl chloride gives the corresponding 5,5-dichloro-1,3-dimethylbarbituric acid (13). The latter was reacted with silver nitrite and potassium cyanide to afford 5-chloro-5-nitro-1,3-dimethylbarbituric acid (14) and 5-cyano-1,3-dimethylbarbiturate (17), respectively. Furthermore, by employing the nucleophilic character of 2,3-dihydro-1,3-diisopropyl-4,5-dimethylimidazol-2-ylidene (8) the obtained compounds 13 and 14 have been converted to 2-chloro-1,3-diisopropyl-4,5-dimethyl-1H-imidazol-3-ium-1,3-dimethyl-5-nitro-1,3-dimethylbarbiturate (18) and 1,3-dimethylbarbituric acid trimer (21), respectively. X-ray structures for compounds 13, 14, 17, 18 and 21 were determined.

Derivatives of 5-(Dimethylamino)-4-tosyl-1,3-oxazole-2-carbaldehyde and Its Analogs

Treatment of N-(2,2,2-trichloro-1-tosylethyl)dichloroacetamide with excess dimethylamine, piperidine, or morpholine gave substituted aminals of the oxazole series, whose facile acid hydrolysis provided 5-(dimethylamino)-4-tosyl-1,3-oxazol-2-carbaldehyde and its analogs having the piperidino and morpholino group in the 5 position of the oxazole ring. The resulting aldehydes and their aminals were condensed with phenylhydrazine, thiosemicarbazide, N-alkylrhodanines, and 1,3-dimethylbarbituric acid to obtain 2,5-disubstituted derivatives of 4-tosyl-1,3-oxazole.__________Translated from Zhurnal Obshchei Khimii, Vol. 75, No. 6, 2005, pp. 1002–1006.Original Russian Text Copyright © 2005 by Vyzhdak, Danielova, Kiselev, Drach.     

Molecular diversity of triphenylphosphine promoted reaction of electron-deficient alkynes and arylidene Meldrum acid (N,N'-dimethylbarbituric acid)

The three-component reaction of triphenylphosphine, dimethyl hex-2-en-4-ynedioate and arylidene N,N'-dimethylbarbituric acids in dry methylene dichloride at room temperature afforded trans-1,3-disubstituted 7,9-diazaspiro[4.5]dec-1-enes in good yields and with high diastereoselectivity. However, the similar three-component reaction with arylidene Meldrum acids resulted in a mixtures of cis/trans-1,2-disubstituted 7,9-dioxaspiro[4.5]dec-1-enes. Additionally, the three-component reaction of triphenylphosphine, dimethyl but-2-ynedioate and arylidene Meldrum acids gave polysubstituted 5-(triphenyl-λ⁵-phosphanylidene)cyclopenta-1,3-dienes. A plausible reaction mechanism was proposed for the formation of various products with different regioselectivity and diastereoselectivity.
