New chromonocoumarin (=6H, 7H-[1]Benzopyrano[4,3-b][1]benzopyran-6,7-dione) derivatives from Polygala fruticosa BERG

Three chromonocoumarins ( =6H, 7H-[1]benzopyrano[4,3-b][1]benzopyran-6,7-diones) 1–3 have been isolated from the leaves and the root bark of polygala fruticosa BERG . (syn.

Another approach to 1‐phosphabicyclo[3.2.1]octanes involves free‐radical cyclization of 2‐methyl‐4‐(2‐propenyl)‐phospholane synthesized by the reaction of [2‐(2‐propenyl)‐4‐pentenyl]‐phosphane with KPH₂/[18]crown‐6 in THF. The bicyclic phosphanes are characterized by reactions with CS₂, selenium, sulfur, NO, CH₃I, and HSO₃F, respectively, structural and analytical data as well as ¹H, ¹³C, ³¹P, ⁷⁷Se NMR spectral measurements. The steric crowding of the phosphanes as complex ligands has been estimated from ³¹P–¹H coupling constants according to the Tolman model. The configuration of the methyl substituents as well as the conformation of the six‐membered ring were determined by NMR parameters (coupling constants, noe's) and proved by X‐ray crystal structure analysis.

Unsubstituted [1,2,5]oxadiazolo[3,4-c]cinnoline 5-oxide was synthesized from 3-nitramino-4-phenylfurazan upon the action of phosphorus anhydride or oleum, as well as from O-methyl derivative of 3-nitramino-4-phenylfurazan upon the action of H₂SO₄, MeSO₃H, CF₃CO₂H and BF₃·Et₂O, while 6-, 7-, 8-, and 9-nitro-substituted [1,2,5]oxadiazolo[3,4-c]cinnoline 5-oxides — from the corresponding 3-nitramino-4-(nitrophenyl)furazans upon the action of the H₂SO₄-HNO₃ nitrating mixture. A suggestion has been made that an oxodiazonium ion is formed in these reactions from nitramines or their O-methyl derivatives upon the action of electrophilic agents, which is further involved into the intra-molecular reaction of electrophilic aromatic substitution (S _EAr) with the aryl group. The structure of [1,2,5]oxadiazolo[3,4-c]cinnoline 5-N-oxides was confirmed by ¹H, ¹³C, and ¹⁴N NMR spectra. Theoretical studies by the B3LYP/6-311G(d,p) method of combined molecular system (O-methylated 3-nitramino-4-phenylfurazan + [H₃SO₄]⁺) resulted in calculation of thermodynamic parameters of the sequence of cascade elementary reactions leading to the formation of [1,2,5]oxadiazolo[3,4-c]cinnoline 5-oxide.
