When 1,2-dihydropyridazine-3,6-, 2,3-dihydrophthalazine-1,4-, 1-phenyl-1,2-dihydropyridazine-3,6-, and 2-phenyl-2,3-dihydrophthalazine-1,4-diones react with 1,3-propanesultone and bromoalkanesulfonates, depending on the nature of the sulfoalkylating agent in the case of 1,2-dihydropyridazine-3,6- and 2,3-dihydrophthalazine-1,4-diones, either N,O- or O,O1-disulfoalkylated compounds may be formed, while O-monosulfoalkylated reaction products may be formed in the case of the N-phenyl-substituted derivatives of the above-indicated azinediones.     

Interaction between Molecular Oxygen and Nitroxide Radicals: A Search for a Reversible Complex

At high concentrations of oxygen, the EPR spectrum of the nitroxide radical 4‐oxo‐TEMPO (= 4‐oxo‐2,2,6,6‐tetramethylpiperidin‐1‐yloxy) is found to broaden significantly. In addition to the expected broadening, double integration of the EPR signals indicates that a significant fraction of the nitroxide spins has ‘disappeared’. In perfluoro(2‐butyltetrahydrofuran) at 273 K, the extent of diminution of the EPR signal intensity is ca. 20%. The results are analyzed in terms of collision and supramolecular complexes between oxygen and 4‐oxo‐TEMPO. It is concluded that a supramolecular complex is responsible for the observed phenomenon.     

Selectivity tunable divergent synthesis of 1,4- and 1,2-dihydropyridines via three-component reactions

The tunable three-component reactions of enals, electron deficient alkynes, and primary amines have been achieved for selective synthesis of 1,4- and 1,2-dihydropyridines. The selectivity has been found to be in close relation to the property of the amine component.     

Aminoxyl Radicals from N-Phenyl-1-(2-oxo-1-azacycloalkyl)-methanesulfonamides

Summary. The synthesis and reaction with two oxidation agents is described for N-phenyl-1-(2-oxo-1-azacycloalkyl)methanesulfonamides. Their oxidation was carried out using radicals and 3-chloroperbenzoic acid. In both cases, the EPR spectra of corresponding aminoxyl radicals were recorded. Their simulation confirmed that the –SO₂– group in the neighbourhood of the – – fragment does not prevent the interaction of the unpaired electron with the methylene protons and the nitrogen atom of the heterocyclic ring.

Synthesis of 1,2- and 1,4-amino alcohols from 1,3-dienes via oxazines. Rearrangements of 1,4-amino alcohol derivatives to oxazolines

Conjugated dienes were converted to 1,2-oxazines by reaction with an acyl nitroso dienophile. The oxazines were reduced to 1,4-N-acetylamino alcohols, which were rearranged to the corresponding oxazolines upon treatment with methanesulfonyl chloride or anhydride. The oxazolines yielded 1,2-N-acetylamino alcohols upon hydrolysis. Thus either 1,4- or 1,2-N-acetylamino alcohols are available from 1,3-dienes via this methodology. Experimental and spectral data are provided for all new compounds.     

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)     

Comparison between 1,2-Dihydropyridine and 1,4-Dihydropyridine on Hydride-Donating Ability and Activity

In this paper, detailed comparisons of the driving force in thermodynamics and intrinsic force in the kinetics of 1,2-dihydropyridine and 1,4-dihydropyridine isomers of PNAH, HEH, and PYH in hydride transfer reactions are made. For 1,2-PNAH and 1,4-PNAH, the values of the thermodynamic driving forces, kinetic intrinsic barriers, and thermo-kinetic parameters are 60.50 and 61.90 kcal/mol, 27.92 and 26.34 kcal/mol, and 44.21 and 44.12 kcal/mol, respectively. For 1,2-HEH and 1,4-HEH, the values of the thermodynamic driving forces, kinetic intrinsic barriers, and thermo-kinetic parameters are 63.40 and 65.00 kcal/mol, 31.68 and 34.96 kcal/mol, and 47.54 and 49.98 kcal/mol, respectively. For 1,2-PYH and 1,4-PYH, the order of thermodynamic driving forces, kinetic intrinsic barriers, and thermo-kinetic parameters are 69.90 and 72.60 kcal/mol, 33.06 and 25.74 kcal/mol, and 51.48 and 49.17 kcal/mol, respectively. It is not difficult to find that thermodynamically favorable structures are not necessarily kinetically favorable. In addition, according to the analysis of thermo-kinetic parameters, 1,4-PNAH, 1,2-HEH, and 1,4-PYH have a strong hydride-donating ability in actual chemical reactions.     

Photoredox-Catalyzed Addition of Carbamoyl Radicals to Olefins: A 1,4-Dihydropyridine Approach

Functionalization with C1-building blocks are key synthetic methods in organic synthesis. The low reactivity of the most abundant C₁-molecule, carbon dioxide, makes alternative carboxylation reactions with CO₂-surrogates especially important. We report a photoredox-catalyzed protocol for alkene carbamoylations. Readily accessible 4-carboxamido-Hantzsch esters serve as convenient starting materials that generate carbamoyl radicals upon visible light-mediated single-electron transfer. Addition to various alkenes proceeded with high levels of regio- and chemoselectivity.

Unsymmetrical 1,2-phenylenediamine on reaction with various ketones resulted in a number of fluorinated heterocycles such as benzimidazoles, quinoxalines and spiro benzimidazoles in high yields. The role of substituents in diamine in its reaction with various ketones and on the nature of product formation has been studied in detail.     

Novel Reaction of Nitroxide with Hantzsch Dihydropyridines

Nitroxides have been found to be the intermediate in the in vivo metabolism of hydroxamic acid, a well-known biological molecule1. Structural modification of some antitumor drugs by introducing nitroxides can lower toxicity remarkably with retention or even increase of the antitumor activity2. Furthermore, the use of nitroxides as spin probes makes it possible to get information regarding the microenvironment of the reaction. 4-Substituted Hantzsch 1,4-dihydropyridines (DHP) are analogs …

Radical Products in the Chemical Oxidationof Amines. An ESR Study of Secondary CationRadicals from Aniline and Derivatives of 1,2-Phenylenediamine

Summary.  The oxidation of aniline and some derivatives of 1,2-phenylenediamine was performed by the system Pb(CH₃COO)₄—CF₃COOH—CH₂Cl₂. An ESR investigation of the oxidized aniline confirmed the presence of secondary cation radical. Its structure was determined by comparison of its ESR spectrum with those of cation radicals prepared from derivatives of 1,4-phenylenediamine. The oxidation of 1,2-phenylenediamine and its derivatives leads to the formation of either primary or secondary cation radicals, the latter having the character of substituted dihydrophenazinium cation radicals.

1,2-Carboboration of Arylallenes by In Situ Generated Alkenylboranes for the Synthesis of 1,4-Dienes

We herein report a novel method for the coupling of unactivated alkynes and arylallenes, which relies on an unprecedented and regioselective 1,2-carboboration of the allene by an alkenylborane. The alkenylborane is conveniently prepared in situ by hydroboration of an alkyne with Piers’ borane, i. e., HB(C₆F₅)₂. The boryl-substituted 1,4-dienes that are formed by this carboboration are well-suited for a subsequent Suzuki-Miyaura coupling with aryl iodides. This allowed us to develop a three-step, one-pot protocol for the synthesis of aryl-substituted 1,4-dienes. The generality of the reaction was demonstrated by the synthesis of twenty dienes with modular variations of all three reaction partners. The mechanism of the new 1,2-carboboration was investigated using dispersion corrected double-hybrid DFT computations that allowed us to rationalize the chemo- and regioselectivity of this key step.     

Synthesis of Substituted Indolo[1,2- a ]quinoxalines

Abstract

1-(2-Nitrophenyl)indole-2-carboxylates 5, obtained by the N-arylation of indole-2-carboxylates 4, on catalytic reductive cyclization afford indolo[1,2-a]quinoxalino-6(5H)-ones 6. These compounds on reduction with LAH in ether/THF yielded indolo[1,2-a]quinoxalines 7.     

EDA Complexes of 2,3-Dichloro-1,4-naphthoquinone with Some Substituted Anilines

Summary. Electron donor-acceptor (EDA) complexes of several substituted anilines with the -acceptor 2,3-dichloro-1,4-naphthoquinone (DClNQ) in chloroform, dichloromethane, and 1,2-dichloroethane were studied by a spectrophotometric method. Experimental data has been shown to confirm the 1:2 stoichiometry of the acceptor-donor in spite of the apparent linearity of the Benesi-Hildebrand plot for a 1:1 complex. The calculated values of oscillator strengths, transition moments, and thermodynamic parameters confirms the 1:2 (A:D) stoichiometry of the complexes. The formation constants and molar absorptivities for these AD₂ complexes have been evaluated. The stoichiometry was unaffected by the variation of the temperature over a small interval and also by the change in polarity of the solvent. The order of the donor strength followed the sequence: N-benzylaniline>p-chloroaniline>m-chloroaniline>o-chloroaniline.Present address: Materials Research Centre, Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore-12, India     

17O Hyperfine Spectroscopy Reveals Hydration Structure of Nitroxide Radicals in Aqueous Solutions

The hydration structure of nitroxide radicals in aqueous solutions is elucidated by advanced ¹⁷O hyperfine (hf) spectroscopy with support of quantum chemical calculations and MD simulations. A piperidine and a pyrrolidine-based nitroxide radical are compared and show clear differences in the preferred directionality of H-bond formation. We demonstrate that these scenarios are best represented in ¹⁷O hf spectra, where in-plane coordination over -type H-bonding leads to little spin density transfer on the water oxygen and small hf couplings, whereas -type perpendicular coordination generates much larger hf couplings. Quantitative analysis of the spectra based on MD simulations and DFT predicted hf parameters is consistent with a distribution of close solvating water molecules, in which directionality is influenced by subtle steric effects of the ring and the methyl group substituents.
