Coupling of two diazotized 3‐aminothieno[3,4‐c]coumarins with aromatic amines

The coupling reactions of two diazotized 3‐aminothieno[3,4‐c]coumarins were investigated. Compounds 1a , 1b both react with sodium nitrite in concentrated sulphuric acid at 0–5°C to give the diazotized intermediates 2 and 3 , the latter resulting from the acid ‐catalyzed hydrolysis of the lactonic ring of 2 . The in situ formed diazonium salts react with aromatic amines ( 4 ) to afford a series of arylazothiophenes dyes in the form of their ammonium sulfate salts. With diazotized aniline, besides the normally expected phenylazothiophene 10 from the reaction with compound 1a , the corresponding product of acid hydrolysis 11 was also isolated. In at least one of the cases, the thienyl diazonium salt 2 undergoes a Gomberg–Bachmann arylation reaction with p‐nitroaniline to give the 2‐arylthiophene 9 . The direct hydrolysis of compounds 1a , 1b by concentrated sulphuric acid and subsequent oxidative dimerization of the primary product of acid hydrolysis led to compound 12 . J.

Chemical Selectivities Disguised by Mass Diffusion. VIII. Influence of pH-gradients on the product distribution in mixing-disguised azo coupling reactions. 9th Communication on the selectivity of chemical processes

In mixing-disguised azo coupling reactions the protons which are released during the electrophilic substitution steps cause a pH-gradient in the reaction zone. Since, owing to the acid-base pre-equilibria, these pH-gradients also determine the local concentrations of the reactants in the reaction zone, they also have an influence on the measured product distribution of such fast reactions. In the present work, the product distribution of the azo coupling of 1-naphthol with 4-sulfophenyldiazonium ion was experimentally measured and the results were compared with the distributions predicted from our mixing-reaction model developed previously [1]. Furthermore, some experimental evidence for the existence of isoselectivity points are presented, at which a change of the initial pH-value has no influence on the product distribution.     

13C NMR spectra of non-labelled and 15N-mono-labelled azo dyes

¹³C NMR spectra of four types of azo coupling products from benzenediazonium chloride have been measured and interpreted, viz. hydrazo compounds with an intramolecular hydrogen bond (3-methyl-1-phenylpyrazole-4,5-dione 4-phenylhydrazone), azo compounds without an intramolecular hydrogen bond (4-hydroxyazobenzene), azo compounds with an intramolecular hydrogen bond (2-hydroxy-5-tert-butylazobenzene) and an equilibrium mixture of both the tautomers of 1-phenylazo-2-naphthol. The absolute values of the J(¹⁵N¹³C) coupling constants have been determined by recording the spectra of the ¹⁵N isotopomers, and have been used, in some cases, for ¹³C signal assignment. A relationship has been found between the chemical shifts of the C-1′ to C-4′ carbons of the phenyl group (from the benzenediazonium ion) or the ¹J(¹⁵N¹³C) coupling constant, and the composition of the tautomeric mixture.     

Dediazoniations of arenediazonium ions. Part 26 Influence of Substituents on the Formation of Benzoic Acids in Reactions of Aryl-Cation-Type Intermediates with CO

The N₂-molecule-aryl-cation pair formed as the first intermediate in dediazoniations of arenediazonium ions can be trapped with CO in H₂O with formation of the corresponding arenecarboxylic acids. This reaction is considered as a model for the reverse of dediazoniation, since CO is isoelectronic with N₂. The evaluation of the yields of arenecarboxylic acids formed from substituted benzenediazonium ions using Taft's dual substituent parameter treatment demonstrates that the field reaction constant p_F and the resonance reaction constant p_R are positive and negative, respectively, as expected for a reaction which corresponds electronically to the addition of N₂ to aryl cations.     

Dediazoniations of Arene Diazonium Ions in Homogeneous Solution. Part III: Heterolytic arylations in 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol - an SN1-or an SN2-reaction?

Benzenediazonium tetrafluoroborate in 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol decomposes to give fluorobenzene and phenyl 2,2,2-trifluoroethyl ether. In the presence of benzene, toluene, trifluoromethyl-benzene or anisole, the respective biphenyl derivatives are formed in addition to fluorobenzene and the ether. The distribution of the isomeric substituted biphenyls is consistent with an electrophilic substitution. No homolytic products (diazo tars, benzene) are formed. The reaction kinetics clearly show that ether formation and aryl-dediazoniations are of second-order type, i.e. that trifluoroethanol and the benzene derivatives mentioned above are rate-determining factors. It is shown that these results exclude the S_N1-mechanism which is usually assumed for heterolytic dediazoniations; free aryl cations are therefore not involved in these reactions. An S_N2-like mechanism seems to be the most likely, but one involving an encounter complex containing the dissociated benzenediazonium ion is also consistent with the experimental data.     

Reactions of Alkenediazonium Salts. Part 1. 2,2-Diethoxyethene-diazonium hexachloroantimonate: A diazonium,a carbenium or an oxonium salt?

Reactions of the title compound 1 with various nucleophiles have been studied. The salt behaves like an alkylating agent towards ethers, alcohols and water forming ethyl diazoacetate ( 2 ), which reacts further with excess of the nucleophile. A solvent cage mechanism accounting for the observed products is proposed. Thermal decomposition in inert solvents leads to the alkylation of the counter-ion, i.e. formation of chloroethane, and in anisole, alkylation and chlorination of the solvent are also observed. With a standard coupling component, 2-naphtholate ion, no azo coupling reaction of 1 is observed, but instead 14-methyl-14 H-dibenzo[a,j]xanthene ( 17 ) is formed. The products of the reaction with diethylamine are diethylcyanoformamide ( 18 ) and ethyl diethylcarbamate ( 19 ). None of the chemistry of salt 1 is explained by the intervention of vinyl cations expected to be formed in a heteroytic dediazoniation. The predominant pathways seem to involve reactions of an oxonium salt (alkylating properties) or, in the case of diethylamine, a carbenium salt (primary nucleophilic attack on the β-C-atom of 1 ). The free energy barrier to C?C rotation in 1 is estimated to be 75 to 77 kJ/mol (18.0 to 18.5 kcal/mol), a value which falls between those expected for a double and a single bond.     

Gas‐phase synthesis and detection of the benzenediazonium ion,C6H5N. A joint atmospheric pressure chemical ionization and guided ion beam experiment

An ion of formula C₆H₅N (m/z 105) has been produced by atmospheric pressure chemical ionization (APCI) of benzene and clearly detected in the corresponding positive ion mass spectrum. Its elemental composition has been established by the mass shift at m/z 110 observed when measurements were carried out with hexadeuterated benzene. MS² experiments performed in the ion‐trap analyzer, and guided ion beam (GIB) experiments on the reaction of the phenyl cation with nitrogen molecules, allow us to establish that the detected C₆H₅N ion is the benzenediazonium ion. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report on the gas‐phase total synthesis of the benzenediazonium ion within the APCI source. Copyright © 2005 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Mass spectrometry of onium compounds—IV: Diazonium salts

The zwitterions of diazotized ortho and para aminophenol are very volatile and give strong peaks in the mass spectra corresponding to the molecular ion. The m-isomer, which cannot be stabilized through a simple quinonoid structure, gives rise to a complex spectrum through decomposition and coupling reactions. The zwitterions of diazotized anthranilic and sulphanilic acids did not give the molecular ion peak.     

An unusual reaction of a Reissert compound involving alkylation,rearrangement, SNAr and SET processes

Reaction of isoquinoline Reissert compound 1 with NaH and then isopropyl iodide in DMF at 22?°C led to four isolated products. Ketone 3 is the expected product of the well-known rearrangement of the intermediate Reissert anion. Cyano lactam 4 results from S_NAr intramolecular displacement of the fluoride ion from the activated aroyl moiety of the anion. Isopropyl lactam 5 is proposed to result from a SET (single electron transfer) process via formation of the radical anion of 4, subsequent loss of the cyanide ion, and coupling of the resultant radical with isopropyl radicals formed via copper used to “stabilize” the alkyl iodide. The expected alkylated product 2 is also formed via a SET process involving electron transfer from the Reissert anion to 4, leading to the Reissert radical. Use of “non-stabilized” bromide or iodide led to 3 and 4, but did not produce 2 or 5.     

Investigation of the colour reaction of phenols with MBTH,II: Properties of the isolated products of the reaction with phenol, 2,6-dimethylphenol and 4-methylphenol

The following model compounds for the study of the oxidative coupling reactions of 2-hydrazono-3-methylbenzothiazoline (MBTH) with phenolic compounds were prepared: thep-coupling products of the reagent with phenol and 2,6-xylenol and theo-coupling product withp-cresol. The proposed structure of the dyes was confirmed. In strongly polar and ionic media the azobetaine form of the products predominates, and in non-polar media the azine structure. The principal physico-chemical properties of the products were determined and the results contributed to formulation of the course of the coupling reaction, and to optimization of the conditions for determination of small amounts of phenolic substances. The violeto-coupling product is less stable than the redp-coupling products, and intramolecularly hydrogen-bonded six-membered ring is assumed to exist in the structure. In acid medium the dyes are mainly monoprotonated, and partly diprotonated in concentrated sulphuric acid medium. The products are stable up to about pH 11. These properties make extraction into low-polarity solvents possible. The dye derived from 2,6-xylenol andp-cresol has not hitherto been prepared. The principal spectral characteristics, _max(), of the products in ethanol medium are: 499 nm (4.7 × 10⁴ 1·mole^–1 cm^–1) for the phenol derivative, 486 nm (5.0 × 10⁴) for the 2,6-xylenol product, and _max 540 nm for thep-cresol product.Part I: Mikrochim.

Formation and reactions of substituted diazocyclopropanes and cyclopropyldiazonium ions

Decomposition of N-nitroso-N-cyclopropylureas at 5—7 °C on treatment with K₂CO₃ containing 15—20% H₂O allows simultaneous generation of both substituted diazocyclopropanes and cyclopropyldiazonium ions, which can react according to 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition or azo-coupling pattern with appropriate substrates. The nature of substituents in the cyclopropyl ring have a pronounced influence on the product ratio (and, probably, on the equilibrium between the diazo compound and the diazonium ion). Thus, on treatment with a base in the presence of equimolar amounts of methyl metacrylate as a trap for the diazo compound and 2-naphthol as a trap for the diazonium ion, N-cyclopropyl- and N-(2,2-dimethylcyclopropyl)-N-nitrosourea azo coupling products predominate. Conversely, N-(2,2-dichlorocyclopropyl)-N-nitrosourea is transformed predominantly into 1,3-cycloaddition products. A rationalization for the experimental data is proposed.     

Azulene‐1‐azo‐2′‐thiazoles. Synthesis and properties

Several derivatives belonging to a new compound class, namely azulene‐1‐azo‐2′‐thiazoles, were prepared by the diazotization of 2‐aminothiazoles in the presence of HNO₃/H₃PO₄ followed by the coupling of diazonium salts with azulenes in buffered medium. The reactions proved to be general for this class, the yields are, however, considerably influenced by the substituents at thiazole moiety. For the first time a N‐oxide provided from an amino substituted five‐member nitrogenous heterocycle was diazotized and coupled. The structure of the obtained compounds was assigned and their physico‐chemical properties were discussed. The new azulene azo derivatives exhibit a strong bathochromic shift in UV‐Vis due to the intense push‐pull effect of aromatic system and to the intrinsic properties of thiazole moiety.     

Quantification of the Electrophilicities of Diazoalkanes: Kinetics and Mechanism of Azo Couplings with Enamines and Sulfonium Ylides

Kinetics and mechanism of the reactions of methyl diazoacetate, dimethyl diazomalonate, 4-nitrophenyldiazomethane, and diphenyldiazomethane with sulfonium ylides and enamines were investigated by UV-Vis and NMR spectroscopy. Ordinary alkenes undergo 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions with these diazo compounds. In contrast, sulfonium ylides and enamines attack at the terminal nitrogen of the diazo alkanes to give zwitterions, which undergo various subsequent reactions. As only one new bond is formed in the rate-determining step of these reactions, the correlation lg k₂(20 °C)=s_N(N+E) could be used to determine the one-bond electrophilicities E of the diazo compounds from the measured second-order rate constants and the known reactivity indices N and s_N of the sulfonium ylides and enamines. The resulting electrophilicity parameters (−21<E<−18), which are 11–14 orders of magnitude smaller than that of the benzenediazonium ion, are used to define the scope of one-bond nucleophiles which may react with these diazoalkanes.     

Coupling rates and kinetics of arenediazonium cations with couplers utilized in the diazo reprographic process

Stoichiometric and, in most cases, absolute rates of coupling of a series of m- and p-substituted benzenediazonium ions with 2,3-dihydroxynaphthalene-6-sulfonate ion (1) have been determined (i) at pH 5.6 (when one OH group is partly monoionized) and (ii) at pH 9.9 (when one OH group is completely ionized and the second slightly so). The rates at both pH values correlate with the σ⁺ parameter (except for the most reactive ArN at pH 9.9) and the contributions of the two reactive forms of the coupler evaluated. Detailed pH dependences of the coupling rate of the p-chlorobenzenediazonium ion with (1) reveal a strong interaction between (1) and the borate ion, which strongly influences the coupling rate. Coupling rates have also been measured for both diazonium ions and couplers of importance in the diazo reprographic process.     

Synthesis of heterocycles. Part II. New routes to acetylthiadiazolines and alkylazothiazoles

Methylglyoxalyl chloride arylhydrazones (III) react with an ethanolic solution of thiourea to give 2-amino-4-methyl-5-arylazothiazoles (XII) instead of the expected 2-acetyl-4-aryl-5-imino-Δ²-1,3,4-thiadiazolines (V) which were obtained from III and potassium thiocyanate. 3-Thiocyanato-2,4-pentanedione (IV) coupled with diazotized anilines to give V. The postulated routes to formation of V and XII from III are given. Nitrosation of V gave the corresponding N-nitroso derivatives (VI) which decomposed upon refluxing in dry xylene to give 2,4-disubstituted-Δ²-1,3,4-thiadiazolin-5-ones (VII). Boiling of either V or VI with hydrochloric acid gave the hydrochloride salt (VIII). The thiadiazolines V gave the respective N-acyl derivatives (IX) and (X) with acetic anhydride and benzoyl chloride in pyridine.     

19F n.m.r. spectrum of hexafluoroquinazoline long-range inter-ring F?F coupling constants

The ¹⁹F n.m.r. spectrum of hexafluoroquinazoline has been analyzed giving the signs and magnitudes of all but two of the coupling constants, and supporting the analyses of the ¹⁹F n.m.r. spectra of heptafluoroquinoline and heptafluoroisoquinoline. Long range F? F inter-ring coupling constants are a guide for assessing π-electron delocalization pathways. In addition, nitrogen in the β position enhances the distant F-5, F-7 meta-coupling constant, implying a π-contribution to J(FF)meta. A rationalization of changes in peri-coupling constants is also presented. The observed changes appear to be the sum of two effects: (i) ring contraction by the insertion of shorter C? N bonds into the aromatic ring and (ii) a secondary effect which is dependent on the existence of a β-nitrogen, adjacent to the peri nuclei.     

Cation radicals. XXXII. Reaction of N-ethylcarbazole with iodine-silver salts. Nitration of N-ethylcarbazole

Reaction of N-ethylcarbazole ( 1 ) with iodine-silver perchlorate gave a green solution having a singlet esr signal. Reduction of the solution with potassium iodide gave N,N′ -diethyl-3,3′-dicarbazolyl ( 3 , 48%). Small amounts of 3-iodo- ( 4 ) and 3,6-diiodo-N-ethylcarbazole ( 5 ) were also obtained. Compounds 4 and 5 are believed to have been formed by electrophilic iodination of 1 by I₂-AgCIO₄, whereas 3 appears to have been formed via the dimerization of 1 ^.+. In accord with this, reaction of 1 with iodine-silver nitrite gave 3-nitro-N-ethylcarbazole ( 6 , 61%), 9% of another nitro-N-ethylcarbazole ( 7 ), thought to be either 1- or 4-nitro-N-ethylcarbazole, and 28% of 4. Thus, trapping of 1 ^.+ by nucleophilic nitrite ion occurred even though 1 ^.+ is not stable enough toward isolation as the perchlorate.     

Dihydroquinazolinones via A3-Type Reactions of N-Carbamoyliminium Ions

A variant of the A³ coupling reaction was developed utilizing in situ generated N-carbamoyliminium ions. The tandem INCIC/A³-coupling sequence provided a facile one-pot synthesis of dihydroquinazolinone derivatives. The scope of the reaction was demonstrated in solution as well as on solid support. The reaction was further combined with peptide synthesis, S_NAr reactions, CuAAC triazole formation or bromination, providing additional opportunities for further diversification of the dihydroquinazolinone scaffolds.

Dediazoniations of Arene Diazonium Ions in Homogeneous Solution. Part VI: Solvolyses in 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol/water mixtures and exclusion of a potential aryne mechanism

The rates and products of dediazoniation of benzenediazonium tetrafluoroborate in 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol (TFE)/water mixtures has been determined. The results are not consistent with a mechanism in which TFE and water enter the rate-determining part of the reaction as nucleophiles. The influence of the solvent composition on product ratios and rates is explained as a solvent effect, the formation of a (solvated) aryl cation being the rate-determining part of the reaction. The magnitude of the preexponential factor of the Arrhenius equation is consistent with this interpretation. Since the solvolysis of p -chlorobenzenediazonium tetrafluoroborate in TFE yields no detectable m-products, an aryne-like mechanism is excluded.
