Condensation reactions of aryl acyloins with ureas in ethylene glycol

4,5-Diaryl-4-imidazolin-2-ones were prepared in good yield by heating aryl acyloins with ureas in eth-ylene glycol for 0.5-2 hours. 4,4′-Dimethoxybenzoin and 2,2′-pyridoin gave 4-oxazolin-2-one derivatives in addition to 4-imidazolin-2-ones.     

The mass spectra of alkyl- and phenyl-4-imidazolin-2-ones

The mass spectra of a variety of alkyl- and aryl-4-imidazolin-2-ones have been determined and the fragmentation mechanisms have been analyzed by deuterium labelling, high resolution and metastable transitions allowing certain differentiations of positional isomers. In contrast to the benzoid systems the mass spectra of isomeric alkyl-4-imidazolin-2-ones are distinctive. The influence of the position of substituents is demonstrated by phenyl-4-imidazolin-2-ones establishing an exact prediction of fragmentation pathways. Fragment ions (e.g. [M-HNCO].⁺) which are the result of rearrangement processes were excluded for structure determinations. The ion structures involved were elucidated by collisional activation comparing model ions. Alkyl-phenyl-4-imidazolin-2-ones give almost identical mass spectra, but the positional isomers can easily be distinguished by different fragmentation patterns in both metastable and collisional activation spectra of the molecular ions.     

Synthesis of Derivatives of of Δ2-Imidazolin-5-one and Imidazolidine Containing Residues of Sterically-hindered Phenols

1-Substituted 4-benzylidene-2-{-[3,5-di(tert-butyl)-4-hydroxyphenyl]vinyl}-4-benzylidene-²-imidazolin-5-ones have been synthesized by the interaction of azomethines and N-acylhydrazones (derivatives of 3,5-di(tert-butyl)-4-hydroxybenzaldehyde) with 4-benzylidene-2-methyloxazol-5-one. The acylation of 1,2-bis[3,5-di(tert-butyl)-4-hydroxybenzylideneamino]ethane with acid chlorides in acetonitrile in the presence of triethylamine leads to 1,3-diacyl-2-[3,5-di(tert-butyl)-4-hydroxyphenyl]imidazolidine.     

Reactions of 3,3-dialkyl-2,3-dihydro-6-trifluoromethyl-4-pyrones with hydroxylamine. Synthesis and structures of 5-(1,1-dialkyl-2-hydroxyethyl)-5-hydroxy-3-trifluoromethyl-Δ2-isoxazolines

The reactions of 3,3-dialkyl-2,3-dihydro-6-trifluoromethyl-4-pyrones with hydroxylamine hydrochloride afforded regioisomeric 3(5)-(1,1-dialkyl-2-hydroxyethyl)-5-hydroxy-5(3)-trifluoromethyl-Δ²-isoxazolines depending on the reaction conditions. The title compounds were also prepared from 2,2-dialkyl-5-amino-1-hydroxy-6,6,6-trifluorohex-4-en-3-ones. The above dihydropyrones reacted with hydroxylamine (base) to yield 3-(1,1-dialkyl-2-hydroxyethyl)-5-hydroxy-5-trifluoromethyl-Δ²-isoxazolines. Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Isomerization of imidazoline to imidazolidine derivatives under electron impact

The electron impact induced fragmentation of some new derivatives of imidazolidin-2,4-dione and 4-imidazoJin-2-one has been examined. The main fragmentation pathways have been established with the help of appropriate metastables and high resolution measurements. The effect of isomerization of 4-aryliminoimidazolidin-2-ones to 4-arylamino-4-imidazolin-2-ones and conversely, 4-aryldo-4-imidazolin-2-ones to 4-aryliminoimidazolidin-2-ones on fragmentation has been investigated by temperature dependence measurements and deuterium labelling.     

Stereochemistry and products of addition of tert-butylisonitrile at the carbonyl group of 3-hydroxypiperidin-4-ones

The stereochemistry and products of addition of tert-butylisonitrile at the carbonyl group of 3-hydroxypiperidin-4-ones have been studied. A preparative method for synthesis of 3-hydroxyisonipecotic acid derivatives has been developed. The orientation of the carbon containing substituent on the quaternary carbon atom was shown using¹³C NMR vicinal³J_C,H spin couplings. Belorussian State University, Minsk 220080.

Rearrangement products of some 1R,4R-2-arylidene-p-menthan-3-ones in acidic media, their structures, and conformational analysis

1R,4R-2-(4-Phenylbenzylidene)-p-menthan-3-one in acidic media undergoes rearrangement with migration of the exocyclic double bond to the cyclohexane ring to form three 2-(4-phenylbenzyl) derivatives ofp-menthen-3-ones. The reaction products differ in the location of the endocyclic double bond (Δ¹ or Δ⁴) and in the configuration of the new chiral C(2) center in the resultingp-menth-4-en-3-ones. The configurations of the 1R,2R- and 1R,2S-2-(4-phenylbenzyl)-p-menth-4-en-3-ones were established based on analysis of their¹H NMR spectra in combination with calculations by molecular mechanics. The molecular conformations of these compounds as well as of some racemic 2-benzyl-p-menth-1-en-3-one derivatives were studied.     

Study of bulk chain coupling reactions. I. Reaction between bisoxazolones and amine-terminated polyamide 12

2,2′-Bis(4,4-dimethyl-5(4H)-oxazolone) ( B3 ) and 2,2′-(1,2-ethylene)-bis(4,4-dimethyl-5(4H)oxazolone) ( B4 ) have been reacted in the bulk with α, ω-diamino polyamide-12 ( PA12 ) of M?_n = 1000. The reactions have been studied by SEC, and ¹H- and ¹³C-NMR and resulting polymers characterized by DSC and TGA. The chain coupling reaction is fast and gives high molar mass polymers within 10 min at 200°C with B4 while some side reactions occur with B3 leading to polymers of lower molar mass. The crystallinity of resulting polymers is lower than that of starting oligomer. However, the thermal stability is higher. Model reactions using B3 or B4 and hexamethylene diamine or 1-dodecanamine have been carried out and studied. An intramolecular cyclodehydration giving 2-imidazolin-5-ones takes place during the reactions. Higher cyclization extent is found in the presence of amino group excess. 2-Imidazolin-5-one heterocyclic structures are also observed in the chains of the polymers obtained from PA12 and B3 or B4 . © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
