Reaction of 3-Arylaminobenzofuro-, 3-Arylaminobenzothieno-, and 3-Arylaminoindolo[2,3-<Emphasis Type="Italic">c</Emphasis>]pyrylium Salts with Nucleophilic Reagents

We have studied the reactions of 3-arylaminobenzofuro-, 3-arylaminobenzothieno-, and 3-arylaminoindolo[2,3-c]pyrylium salts with ammonium acetate, primary amines, and hydrazine hydrate. In an alcoholic medium, primary amines and hydrazine hydrate open up the pyrylium ring to form arylamides of 2-(N-benzylmethylketimine)hetaryl-3-acetic acids or the corresponding hydrazones, where further heterocyclization does not occur. Upon treatment with ammonium acetate in acetic acid, 2-aryl-1-methylhetero[2,3-c]pyridin-3-(2H)-ones are formed along with their 2-unsubstituted analogs.__________Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 4, pp. 601–612, April, 2005.     

Reactions of 5-[3-(trifluoromethyl)-phenyl]furan-2-carbaldehyde

The Knoevenagel condensations of 5-[3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]furan-2-carbaldehyde with seven compounds containing an active methyl or methylene group have been studied. The compounds used were: methyl 2-cyanoacetate, malononitrile, 2-furylacetonitrile, acetophenone, 2-thioxo-1,3-thiazolidin-4-one (rhodanine), 5,5-dimethylcyclohexane-1,3-dione (dimedone), and methyl 2-azidoacetate. The effect of microwave irradiation on the condensation reactions was studied and compared with “’classical”’ conditions. Thermolysis of methyl 2-azido-3-{5-[3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-2-furyl}propenoate afforded methyl 2-[3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)]-4H-furo[3,2-b]pyrrole-5-carboxylate. (2E)-3-{ 5-[3-(Trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-2-furyl}propenoic acid was converted to the corresponding azide, which was cyclized on heating into 2-[3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)]-4,5-dihydrofuro[3,2-c]pyridin-4-one. The latter after successive action of POCl₃ and NH₂NH₂-Pd/C gave 2-[3-(trifluoromethyl)-phenyl]furo[3,2-c]pyridine.

Synthesis and transformations of 3-(1H-pyrrol-1-yl)thieno[2,3-b]pyridines

Reactions of 2,5-dimethoxytetrahydrofuran with 3-aminothieno[2,3-b]pyridines afford a number of substituted 3-(1H-pyrrol-1-yl)thieno[2,3-b]pyridines. The possibility of the reaction and the yield of the product are determined by the character of a substituent in position 2 of thieno[2,3-b]pyridine. The Curtius rearrangement of 2-acylazido-3(1H-pyrrol-1-yl)thieno[2,3-b]pyridines yields 4,5-dihydropyrido[3",2":4,5]thieno[2,3-e]pyrrolo[1,2-a]pyrazin-4-ones. The molecular and crystal structures of ethyl 4-methoxymethyl-6-methyl-3-(1H-pyrrol-1-yl)thieno[2,3-b]pyridine-2-carboxylate were determined by X-ray diffraction analysis.

The addition of Me₃SiCN to N-[3-(2-furyl)-2-propenylidene]trifluoromethylanilines, differing in the position of the CF₃ group in the benzene ring and in the presence or absence of a methyl group in the heterocycle, was studied in the presence of aluminum bromide as catalyst. The direction of the process (1,2-addition in all cases) was determined, and certain other features of the reactions were discovered. A series of the corresponding unsaturated heterocyclic -amino nitriles were synthesized. The molecular and crystal structures of one of them were determined by X-ray crystallographic analysis.

Heating an ethanol solution of 2-imino-2-(1,2,2,5,5-pentamethyl-3-oxide-2,5-dihydro-1H-imidazol-4-yl)-1-phenylethanone in the presence of triethylamine yielded 3-hydroxy-5,5,6,7,7-pentamethyl-3-phenyl-3,5,6,7-tetrahydroisoxazolo[4,3-d]pyrimidine, whose structure was determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction.     

Synthesis of 2-[3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]furo[3,2-<Emphasis Type="Italic">c</Emphasis>]pyridine derivatives

2-[3-(Trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-4,5-dihydrofuro[3,2-c]pyridin-4-one (I) was prepared by a three-step synthesis. Its reaction with phosphorus sulfide rendered thione II which was methylated to 2-[3-(Trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-4-methylsulfanylfuro[3,2-c]pyridine (III). 5-Methyl-2-[3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-4,5-dihydrofuro[3,2-c]pyridin-4-one (IV) was obtained by the reaction of I with methyl iodide in PTC conditions. The chlorine atom in derivate V was replaced with heterocyclic secondary amines via nucleophilic substitution and 4-substituted furopyridines VIa and VIb were thus prepared. 2-[3-(Trifluoromethyl)phenyl]furo[3,2-c]pyridine-4-carboxylic acid (VII) was obtained by hydrolysis of the corresponding carbonitrile Va.

The molecular structure of 6-methyl-2,4,8a-triphenylperhydro[1,3,2]dioxaborinino[5,4-c]pyridine was established by X-ray diffraction analysis.     

An infrared and raman spectroscopic investigation of copper(II) tetracyanonickelate complexes ofα-,β- andγ-picoline

Copper(II) dipicoline tetracyanonickelate complexes, CuL₂Ni(CN)₄ (L=,- or-picoline), have been prepared for the first time and their infrared and Raman spectra are reported. Their structure consists of polymeric layers of {Cu-Ni(CN)₄} with picoline molecules bound directly to the copper. It is proposed that the Cu-NC bonds are in two nonequivalent pairs in trans positions. Low temperature (83K) IR spectra have also been recorded and it is noted that the Ni(CN)₄ group frequencies increase with decreasing temperature while the picoline frequencies are insensitive to temperature.     

Synthesis, Structures and Ion Selectivity of Homocalix[3]arene Thioketals derived from Homocalix[3]arene Ketones

The hetero-functionalized host bearing pyrene andtosyl moieties substituted at the lower and upper rims of cyclodextrin, namely,mono-3^A-deoxy-3^A-pyrenebutylamido-6^X-O-mono-(p-toluenesulfonyl)mono-altro--cyclodextrin(mixture :gamma; -1; X = A, B, C, D, E, F, G,or H), has been synthesized in order to investigate itsfluorescent sensing system for organic guests such as steroidsand terpenoids. This host showed pure monomer fluorescence, in which the host fluorescence increasedin intensity on accommodation of bile acids and terpenoids or decreased in fluorescence intensityupon addition of ketosteroids. The extent of fluorescence variation with a guest was employed to evaluatethe sensing ability of the host. The sensing parameter I/I°, where I and I°are the fluorescence intensities in the presence and absence of a guest and I is I - I°, was used to describe the sensing ability. The host detected ketosteroids with negative parameters, on theother hand, bile acids and terpenoids were recognized by the host with positive parameters. Thebehaviors of the appended moieties of the host during host–guest complexation were studied by induced circulardichroism (ICD) and fluorescence spectra. The host compound showed different patterns depending on theguest. The guest-induced variations in the ICD and fluorescent spectra suggest that the pyrene moietyacts to elevate the binding ability and the tosyl moiety plays a roll as a spacer to regulate thecyclodextrin cavity size.     

Synthesis and reactions of 2-[3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]furo[3,2-<Emphasis Type="Italic">c</Emphasis>]pyridine

(E)-3-{5-[3-(Trifluoromethyl)phenyl]furan-2-yl}propenoic acid (I) was prepared from 5-[3-(tri-fluoromethyl)phenyl]furan-2-carbaldehyde under the Doebner’s conditions. The obtained acid was converted to the corresponding azide II, which was cyclized by heating in diphenyl ether to 2-[3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-4,5-dihydrofuro[3,2-c]pyridin-4-one (III). This compound was aromatized with phosphorus oxychloride to chloroderivative IV which was reduced with H₂NNH₂-Pd/C to the title compound V. 2-[3-(Trifluoromethyl)phenyl]furo[3,2-c]pyridin-5-oxide (VI) was synthesized by reaction of V with 3-chloroperoxybenzoic acid in dichloromethane. On treatment of VI with benzoyl chloride and potassium cyanide (Reissert-Henze reaction), corresponding 2-[3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]furo[3,2-c]pyridine-1-carbonitrile (VII) resulted. 5-Amino-2-[3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]furo[3,2-c]pyridin-5-ium-4-methylbenzene sulfonate (VIII) was prepared by direct N-amination of the title compound V with 1-[(aminooxy)sulfonyl]-4-methylbenzene in dichloromethane. Then, VIII was transformed to a non-isolated zwitterionic N-imid IX which afforded the corresponding furo[3,2-c]pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyridine carboxylic acid esters X, XI by 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reactions with dimethyl but-2-ynedionate (DBD) or ethyl propiolate. The structures of all compounds were confirmed by their IR and NMR spectra.
