Pyridinethiones—V : Spectroscopic investigation and electronic structure of 3-formyl-2(1H)-pyridones, -thiones and -selones

The 3-formyl-2(1$\text{H}$)-pyridone, -thione and -selone systems have been investigated by UV photoelectron, UV-visible, ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectroscopy. It is demonstrated that the electronic build-up of these systems as derived from the spectroscopic data may be correlated with their chemical behaviour through application of the perturbation model for chemical reactivity.     

Pyridinethiones. XI. Diastereoselective aldol condensations with 2(1H)-pyridones, 2(1H)-pyridinethiones,and the crystal structure of 3-(1-hydroxy-2-methyl-3-oxo-3-(4-chlorophenyl)propyl-1-isoprpyl-2(1H)-pyridinethione

Aldol condensation of 3-formyl-2(1H)-pyridinethiones and the corresponding pyridones with ketones such as acetophenones in aqueous base yields 3-hydroxy-1-propanones in high yields. Reaction with propiophenone showed this reaction to be highly diastereoselective as only the erythro-isomer is formed at room temperature. This assignment was based on an X-ray crystallographic investigation of the compound given in the title. Aldol condensations of a number of related 3-acetyl-2(1H)-pyridinethiones with benzaldehyde yielded the corresponding trans-vinyl ketones.     

Pyridinethiones. IX preparation of ricinidine,thioricinidine and other 2(1H)-pyridones and -thiones related to nicotinic acid

2(1H)-Pyridones and -thiones related to 1-substituted nicotinic acid derivatives have been prepared via the corresponding l-substituted-3-formyl-2(1H)-pyridones and -thiones. A number of synthetic procedures for the interconversion of functional groups in these nicotinic acid derivatives are given i.e. preparation of the aldoximes, nitriles, carboxamides and carboxylic acids as well as the 3- hydroxyalkyl derivatives. The course of the basic peroxide oxidation of the l-substituted-3-formyl-2(1H)-pyridinethiones is found to be very dependent upon the electronegativity of the 1-substituent. A preparation of ricinidine is also described.

In addition, the catalyst could be easily recovered from the reaction mixture by simple filtration and reused several times without any loss of activity.     

Reaction of 3-cyanopyridine-2(1H)-thiones with N-butyllithium

The reaction of 3-cyanopyridine-2(1 H)-thiones with BuLi in ether was studied. It was found that the metallation proceeds initially at the sulfur atom. The resulting lithium salts add a second equivalent of n-butyllithium at the CN group. The hydrolysis of the dilithium derivatives leads to 3 pentanoylpyridine-2(IH)-thiones.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 2, pp. 231–234, February, 1996.

Alkyl derivatives of 1-aryldihydro-4(IH,3H)-pyrimidinone-2-thiones and their structure

The alkylation of 1-aryldihydro-4(IH,3H)-pyrimidinone-2-thiones goes through both at the thiol group and at the amide nitrogen atom of the heterocycle. Enlargement of the alkyl radical favors an increase in the portion of the N-alkyl derivative in the mixture. The influence of the folding of the heterocycle on its barrier to rotation around the Ph-N₁ bond was shown.Kaunas Technological University, Kaunas LT-3006.

Novel nucleophilic substitution of alkyl bromo-2(1H)-pyridones

Nucleophilic substitution of certain alkyl bromo-2(1H)-pyridones gave some unexpected products where the alkyl group is substituted and the ring bromine is replaced by hydrogen. The expected ring substituted product is also formed, but only as the minor product in most cases. Many reactions are cited with various nucleophiles, and a plausible mechanism is also presented.
