Synthesis,properties and X‐ray structure of 5‐azido‐2‐methoxy‐1,3‐xylyl‐18‐crown‐5

5‐Azido‐2‐methoxy‐1,3‐xylyl‐18‐crown‐5 has been prepared by reacting p‐toluenesulfonyl azide with the carbanion generated from the reaction of 5‐bromo‐2‐methoxy‐1,3‐xylyl‐18‐crown‐5 with n‐butyl lithium. The asymmetric N₃ stretch of this product has been observed as a single band at 2110 cm^?1 in dichloromethane solution. Addition of solid NaSCN, KSCN and CsSCN shifts this band to 2115, 2113 and 2112 cm^?1, respectively. Computational studies of this azide at the B3LYP‐6‐31G* level in the presence and absence of Na⁺ predicted these bands to be at 2173 cm^?1 and 2184 cm^?1. For the salt‐containing solutions, additional bands were observed at 2066 cm^?1, 2056 cm^?1 and 2055 cm^?1, respectively, which are in the range expected for CN stretches. The X‐ray structure of this azide has been determined. The terminal and internal N? N bond lengths were found to be 1.127(2) and 1.245(2) Δ, respectively, which is the usual pattern for aromatic azides. The crown ether is looped over the face of the aromatic ring resulting in an angle of 38.94° between the plane defined by the aromatic ring and that defined by the five ring oxygen atoms. In addition, the CH₃ group is rotated out of the plane of the phenyl ring with C1‐C18‐O181‐C182 and C17‐C18‐O181‐C182 dihedral angles of 93.81(14)° and ‐90.54(14)°, respectively.

Methylamination of some 3‐nitro‐1,5‐naphthyridines with liquid methylamine/potassium permanganate

3‐Nitro‐1,5‐naphthyridine and its 2‐substituted derivatives ( 1a‐f ) are dehydro‐methylaminated with a solution of potassium permanganate in liquid methylamine (LMA‐PP) to the corresponding 4‐methylamino‐3‐nitro‐1,5‐naphthyridines ( 3a‐e ). The intermediary 4‐methylamino σ adducts of 2‐R‐3‐nitro‐1,5‐naphthyridines (R ? H, NH₂, Cl, NHCH₃, OC₂H₅, OH) ( 2a‐f ) are detected by ¹H nmr spectroscopy. The observed highly regioselective course of study reactions was confirmed by PM3 quantum chemical calculations of the reaction pathway. The calculations show satisfactory agreement between calculated and observed results. A convenient synthesis of 2‐hydroxy‐ and 4‐methylamino‐3‐nitro‐1,5‐naphthyridine are reported.     

Preparation of 5‐methyl‐2‐sulfanyl‐7h‐1,3,4‐thiadiazolo[3,2‐a]‐pyrimidin‐7‐ones

7H‐1,3,4‐Thiadiazolo[3,2‐a]pyrimidin‐7‐ones can be prepared by the acylation of 5‐amino‐1,3,4‐thiadiazoles with diketene and subsequent ring closure (dehydration). Whereas arylthio substituents (SC₆H₅) can be introduced in 2‐position by the replacement of Br, alkylthio groups (SC₂H₅) have to be already presentin the starting 5‐amino‐1,3,4‐thiadiazole. The ambident nucleophile 2‐thiazolidinethione reacts in the Br substitution reaction on the N atom.     

A practical approach for spiro‐ and 5‐monoalkylated barbituric acids

The single step reactions of N,N′‐ substituted/‐unsubstituted barbituric acids with various alkyl dihalides under phase transfer catalytic conditions using DMF‐K₂CO₃ (base), TBAHSO₄ (catalyst) provide spirobarbituric acids in moderate to high yields. Irrespective of the existence of C₅‐monoalkylated compounds in the enolic form (confirmed by the isolation of some of its analogues), the second alkylation predominantly takes place at C₅. The underlying mechanism for the reaction is discussed. The 5,7‐dimethyl‐5,7‐diaza‐spiro[2.5]octane‐4,6,8‐trione undergoes ring opening with NaCN, PhSH, HS(CH₂)₂OH and Br₂ to provide 5‐monoalkylated barbiturates which are otherwise difficult to prepare by the usual alkylation of barbituric acids.

The structures of compounds 5 were confirmed by ¹H NMR, IR, MS, and elemental analysis.

The relative stabilities, charge densities, dipole moments and electronic energies of reactants, transition states and intermediates were calculated by the AM1 method and used for investigating the regioselectivity.
