Three-component heterocyclizations of trifluoro-N-(prop-2-yn-1-yl)methanesulfonamide, trifluoro-N-pheny-N-(prop-2-yn-1-yl)methanesulfonamide, and trifluoro-N,N-di(prop-2-yn-1-yl)methanesulfonamide with formaldehyde and sodium azide afforded N-{[2-(hydroxymethyl)-2H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl]methyl}-, N-{[2-(hydroxymethyl)-2H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl]methyl}-N-phenyl-, and N,N-bis{[2-(hydroxymethyl)-2H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl]methyl}trifluoromethanesulfonamides as the major products together with minor 1-(hydroxymethyl)-1H-1,2,3-triazole isomers.     

Thiocyanation of <Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-arylsulfonyl-, <Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-aroyl-, and <Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-[(<Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-arylsulfonyl)benzimidoyl]-1,4-benzoquinone imines

Reactions of thiocyanate ion with N-aroyl-, N-arylsulfonyl-, and N-(N-arylsulfonylbenzimidoyl)-1,4-benzoquinone imines follow the 1,4-addition pattern, and the adducts undergo intramolecular cyclization to give the corresponding N-substituted 5-amino-1,3-benzoxathiol-2-ones as final products.     

Atropisomeric <Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-acyl-<Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-(cyclopentenylphenyl)glycines in the synthesis of oxazolo[3,4-<Emphasis Type="Italic">a</Emphasis>]benzoxazocinones

Intramolecular [3+2]-cycloaddition was studied of munchnones generated at heating syn- and anti-atropisomers of N-acyl-N-[6-methyl-2-(cyclopent-2-en-1-yl)phenyl]glycines with acetic anhydride. By spectral and X-ray diffraction analysis syn-isomers of acids and tetrahydro-1,4,7-methanetriyl[1,3]oxazolo[3,4-a][1]- bensazocin-3(3aH)-ones were identified.     

Reactions of <Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-acetyl- and <Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-ethoxycarbonyl-2-(1-cycloalken-1-yl)anilines with <Emphasis Type="Italic">meta</Emphasis>-cloroperbenzoic acid

Reaction of N-ethoxycarbonyl-2-(1-cycloalken-1-yl)anilines with meta-cloroperbenzoic acid leads to the corresponding 2-[1-o-(3-chlorobenzoyl)-2-hydroxycyclopent-1-yl]anilines. 5-(2-Acetylaminophenyl)-5-oxopentanic or 6-oxohexanic acids are formed as main products in the reaction of N-acetyl-2-(1-cycloalken-1-yl)anilines with m-chloroperbenzoic acid in CH₂Cl₂. N-Acetyl-2-(1-cyclopenten-1-yl)-3,6-dimethylaniline is an exception in this series since its reaction stops at the stage of epoxide formation.

A series of N-(9-anthrylmethyl)arylimines was prepared by condensation of N-(2-aminophenyl)-N-(9-anthrylmethyl)amine with aromatic aldehydes. The study of the luminescent and complexing properties of compounds obtained showed that 2-{[2-(9-anthrylmethylamino)phenylimino]methyl}-1-naphthol and 1-{[2-(9- anthrylmethylamino)phenylimino]methyl}-6-bromo-2-naphthol were efficient highly selective chemosensors of cations Hg²⁺.     

Synthesis of <Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-(2,2-Dichlorovinyl)arenesulfonamides by Dehydrochlorination of <Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-(2,2,2-Trichloroethyl)arenesulfonamides

Preparation method was developed for N-(2,2-dichlorovinyl)-N-alkylarenesulfonamides based on dehydrochlorination of the corresponding N-(2,2,2-trichloroethyl)-N-alkylarenesulfonamides.     

Reactions of arylsulfinyl chlorides and <Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-(arylsulfonyl)arylsulfinimidoyl chlorides with <Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis>-aminophenols

In reactions of arylsulfinyl chlorides and N-(arylsulfonyl)arylsulfinimidoyl chlorides with p-aminophenols formed N-arylthio-1,4-benzoquinone imines, evidently through a stage of N-arylsulfinyl-4-aminophenols and N-(N-arylsulfonyl)arylsulfinylimidoyl-4-aminophenols that under the reaction conditions eliminate respectively H₂O and ArSO₂NH₂.     

Regioselectivity in the reactions of <Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-(polychloroethylidene)-sulfonamides with 1<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>-pyrrole and 1-methyl-1<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>-pyrrole

N-(2,2,2-Trichloroethylidene)arenesulfonamides react with 1H-pyrrole and 1-methyl-1H-pyrrole to give the corresponding N-[2,2,2-trichloro-1-(1H-pyrrol-2-yl)ethyl]arenesulfonamides. The reaction of N-(2,2,2-trichloroethylidene)trifluoromethanesulfonamide with pyrrole leads to a mixture of 2-mono-and 2,5-disubstituted pyrroles, whereas in the reaction with 1-methyl-1H-pyrrole only the 2-substituted compound is formed. N-(2,2-Dichloro-2-phenylethylidene)-4-methylbenzenesulfonamide reacts with 1H-pyrrole to form N-[2,2-dichloro-2-phenyl-1-(1H-pyrrol-2-yl)ethyl]-4-methylbenzenesulfonamide, and its reaction with 1-methyl-1H-pyrrole gives a mixture of 2-and 3-monosubstituted derivatives. The results of quantum-chemical calculations of the initial reactants and products indicate that the process is orbital-controlled. A good agreement is observed between the experimental data and theoretical conclusions concerning the dependence of the reaction regioselectivity on the nature of substituents in the electrophile molecule.     

Reactions of <Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-(2,2,2-trichloroethylidene)- and <Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-(2,2-dichloro-2-phenylethylidene)arenesulfonamides with biuret

N-(2,2,2-Trichloroethylidene)- and N-(2,2-dichloro-2-phenylethylidene)arenesulfonamides react with an equimolar amount of biuret to give 1-(1-arylsulfonylamino-2,2,2-trichloroethyl)- or 1-(1-arylsulfonylamino-2,2-dichloro-2-phenylethyl)biurets. The reactions with 2 equiv of N-(polychloroethylidene)arenesulfonamides involve both amino groups in the biuret molecule, yielding the corresponding 1,5-bis(1-arylsulfonylamino-2,2,2-trichloroethyl)- and 1,5-bis(1-arylsulfonylamino-2,2-dichloro-2-phenylethyl)biurets.     

Synthesis and structure of silicon-containing <Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-methyland <Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-benzoylamides of diisopropylphosphoric acid

Diisopropyl N-benzoyl-N-(trimethylsilyl)phosphoramidate reacts with ClCH₂SiMe₂Cl under mild conditions to form diisopropyl N-benzoyl-N-[(chlorodimethylsilyl)methyl]phosphoramidate (III). Diisopropyl N-methyl-N-(trimethylsilyl)phosphoramidate with ClCH₂SiMe₂Cl affords an N-transsilylation product which does not rearrange into diisopropyl N-[(chlorodimethylsilyl)methyl]-N-methylphosphoramidate (XV) even under severe conditions (4 h, 130°C). Compound XV was prepared by the reaction of diisopropyl phosphorochloridate with N-[(methoxydimethylsilyl)methyl]-N-methylamine followed by treatment of diisopropyl N-[(methoxydimethylsilyl)methyl]-N-methylphosphoramidate with boron trichloride. Analysis of experimental and calculated ²⁹Si chemical shifts points to a five-coordinate silicon atom in compound III and a fourcoordinate silicon atom in compound XV. According to B3LYP calculations with due regard to solvent effects, compound III is an isomer with a C=O→Si bond. By variation of substituents at silicon, phosphorus, and carbonyl carbon atoms, chelate structures with either C=O→Si or P=O→Si dative bonds can be obtained.     

<Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-allyl and <Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-propargyl trifluoromethanesulfonimides. Theoretical analysis

Tautomers of N-allyl- and N-propargyl-substituted trifluoromethanesulfonimides (CF₃SO₂)₂NR (R = CH₂CH=CH₂, Z/E-CH=CHMe, CH₂C≡CH, CH=CH=CH₂, C≡CCH₂) were calculated by the DFT (B3LYP, wB97XD, PBE1PBE), MP2, and CBS-QB3 methods. The results were compared with the theoretical data for the corresponding amines and amides NHRR¹ (R¹ = H, CF₃SO₂). It was shown that there is no conjugation between the nitrogen atom and C=C bond and that conjugation exists with the C≡C bond with electron density displacement toward the nitrogen atom. The calculations of anions derived from N-allyl- and N-propargyl-trifluoromethanesulfonimides revealed the possibility of their rearrangement with elimination of trifluoromethanesulfinate anion and formation of its H-complex with N-(prop-2-en-1-ylidene)trifluoromethanesulfonamide or N-(prop-2-yn-1-ylidene)trifluoromethanesulfonamide.     

Reactions of <Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-(Polychloroethylidene)arene-and - trifluoromethanesulfonamides with indoles

N-(Polychloroethylidene)arene-and -trifluoromethanesulfonamides reacted with indole and N-substituted indoles to give the corresponding N-[2,2-dichloro(or 2,2,2-trichloro)-1-(1H-indol-3-yl)ethyl]-substituted sulfonamides. Unlike N-(2,2,2-trichloroethylidene)trifluoromethanesulfonamide, less electrophilic N-(poly-chloroethylidene)arenesulfonamides failed to react with 1-(4-nitrophenyl)-1H-indole. Previously unknown N,N’-bis(2,2-dichloroethylidene)biphenyl-4,4’-disulfonamide reacted with 1-benzyl-1H-indole at both azomethine fragments. Likewise, reactions of 1,6-bis(1H-indol-1-yl)hexane and 1,4-bis(1H-indol-1-ylmethyl)-benzene with N-sulfonyl trichloroacetaldehyde imines involved both indole rings in the former.     

Thermooxidative decomposition of heterocyclic <Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-oxides

Thermooxidative decomposition of pyridine N-oxide, 4-(4-dimethylaminostyryl)pyridine N-oxide, 4-(4-methoxystyryl)pyridine N-oxide, quinoline N-oxide, 2-methylquinoline N-oxide, 4-chloroquinoline N-oxide, 2-styrylquinoline N-oxide, and 2-(4-dimethylaminostyryl)quinoline N-oxide was studied. The kinetic parameters of the thermooxidative processes were calculated according to three independent procedures. The relation between the nature of heterocyclic N-oxide and its stability to thermal oxidation was analyzed.     

Reactions of <Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-Allyl- and <Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>,<Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-Diallyltrifluoromethanesulfonamides with Carboxylic Acid Amides under Oxidizing Conditions

Reactions of acetamide and benzamide with N-allyltrifluoromethanesulfonamide in the presence of t-BuOCl–NaI afforded exclusively 2,5-bis(chloromethyl)-1,4-bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)piperazine. Analogous reaction with N,N-diallyltrifluoromethanesulfonamide gave mixed halogenation product at only one C=C double bond of the substrate.     

Synthesis of <Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-and <Emphasis Type="Italic">C</Emphasis>-trimethylsilyl-substituded anililes

N-Metallation of bromoanilines with ethylmagnesium bromide followed by a reaction with trimethylchlorosilane provided N-mono and N-bis(trimethylsilyl)bromoanilines depending on the structure of substrate. The metallation of bissilylated bromoanilines with butyllithium permitted the introduction of a trimethylsilyl substituent in the aromatic ring. Previously unknown 2-bromo-N,N-bis(trimethylsilyl)aniline, 2,6-dibromo-N-trimethylsilylaniline, 2,6-dibromo-N,N-bis(trimethylsilyl)aniline, 2-bromo-6-trimethylsilylaniline, 2-bromo-6-trimethylsilyl-N,N-bis(trimethylsilyl)aniline, 2-bromo-6-trimethylsilyl-N-trimethylsilylaniline, 2,4,6-tribromo-N-trimethylsilylaniline, and 2,4,6-tribromo-N,N-bis(trimethylsilyl)aniline were prepared. The structures of the compounds obtained were established by the chromato-mass spectrometry and ¹H, ¹³C, and ²⁹Si NMR spectroscopy.     

Free-Radical Co-Oligomerization of <Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-Vinylpyrroles with <Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-Vinylpyrrolidone: A Route to New Bioactive Oligomers

Co-oligomerization of N-vinylpyrroles (N-vinyl-2,3-dimethylpyrrole, N-vinyl-2-phenylpyrrole, N-vinyl-2,3-diphenylpyrrole, N-vinyl-2-(2-thienyl)pyrrole, and N-vinyl-2-[1-(4,5,6,7-tetrahydroindolyl) ethyl]-4,5,6,7-tetrahydroidole) with N-vinylpyrrolidone in the presence of a radical initiator (AIBN) gives co-oligomers with molecular masses of 1600–5200 in up to 87% yield. The products are readily soluble in organic solvents (benzene, 1,4_dioxane, and chloroform), and in the case of high N-vinylpyrrolidone content, also in ethanol and in water. The co-oligomers are non-toxic or have low toxicity (the lethal dose LD₅₀ = 1300–2000) and possess biological activity.     

Electrophilic cyclization of <Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-allyl(propargyl)-5-amino-1<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>-pyrazole-4-carboxamides. Synthesis of 4-[(dihydro)oxazol-2-yl]-1<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>-pyrazol-5-amines

N-Allyl-5-amino-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxamides in reactions with polyphosphoric acid, with N-halosuccinimides in chloroform, and with (chlorosulfanyl)benzenes in nitromethane in the presence of lithium perchlorate underwent cyclization involving the N-allylamide fragment to give 4-[5-methyl(halomethyl)-4,5-dihydrooxazol-2-yl]-1H-pyrazol-5-amines and 2-(5-amino-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)-5-[(arylsulfanyl)methyl]-4,5-dihydro-1,3-oxazolium perchlorates, respectively. Analogous reactions of N-propargyl-5-amino-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxamides with polyphosphoric acid afforded 4-(5-methyloxazol-2-yl)-1H-pyrazol-5-amines, and with (chlorosulfanyl) benzenes, 2-(5-amino-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)-5-[(arylsulfanyl)methylidene]-4,5-dihydro-1,3-oxazolium perchlorates.     

Mononuclear cobalt (III) complexes with <Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-salicylidene-2-hydroxy-5-bromobenzylamine and <Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-salicylidene-2-hydroxy-5-chlorobenzylamine

Cobalt (III) complexes with N-salicylidene-2-hydroxy-5-bromobenzylamine (H₂sbba) and N-salicylidene-2-hydroxy-5-chlorobenzylamine (H₂scba), [n-(C₄H₉)₄N][Co(sbba)₂] (I) and [n-(C₄H₉)₄N][Co(scba)₂] (II), were synthesized. The crystal structure of II was determined by the single-crystal X-ray diffraction method at 90 K confirming its crystallization in the monoclinic space group P2₁/n with a = 11.729(2) Å, b = 16.901(3) Å, c = 21.483(4) Å, β = 98.840(4)°, V = 4208.2(14) ų, D_x = 1.295 g cm^?3, and Z = 4. The R1 [I > 2σ(I)] and wR2 (all data) values of 0.0664 and 0.1920, respectively, for all 9521 independent reflections. The compound is composed of a tetra(n-butyl)ammonium cation and an octahedral cobalt(III) complex anion with two scba^2? ligands in a meridional fashion. The electronic spectral features of I and II are consistent with the octahedral cobalt(III) ion with an N₂O₄ donor set.     

Synthesis and properties of <Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-(alkenylidene)trifluoromethanesulfonamides

N-Alkenylidenetrifluoromethanesulfonamides TfN=CH–CR=C(Me)R′ (R, R′ = H, Me) have been synthesized by reaction of N-sulfinyltrifluoromethanesulfonamide TfNSO with (E)-but-2-enal, (E)-2-methylbut- 2-enal, and 3-methylbut-2-enal. Despite greater stability of N-alkenylidenetrifluoromethanesulfonamides relative to their propargyl isomers TfNHCH₂C≡CR, no rearrangement of the latter into the former occurs due to the presence of an acidic NH proton, which hampers formation of carbon-centered anion.     

Reaction of <Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-(carbamimidoyl)thiourea with 1-benzoyl-2-phenylacetylene

1-Benzoyl-2-phenylacetylene reacted with N-(carbamimidoyl)thiourea in glacial acetic acid saturated with 20% HBr to give (4,6-diphenyl-2H-1,3-thazin-2-ylidene)guanidine hydrobromide. The reaction of the same compounds in anhydrous ethanol in the presence of sodium ethoxide led to the formation of N-(4,6-diphenylpyrimidin-2-yl)thiourea. Bis(3-oxo-1,3-diphenylprop-1-en-1-yl) sulfide and 1-benzoyl-2-ethylsulfanyl-2-phenylethylene were isolated in the reactions of 1-benzoyl-2-phenylacetylene with N-(carbamimidoyl)thiourea and N-(carbamimidoyl)-S-ethylisothiuronium bromide, respectively, in anhydrous methanol.
