Synthesis of 4-[Alkylsulfanyl(sulfonyl)methyl]isoxazoles and -1<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>-pyrazoles from 3-[(Alkylsulfanyl)methyl]- pentane-2,4-diones

New 4-[(alkylsulfanyl)methyl]- and 4-[(alkanesulfonyl)methyl]isoxazoles and -1H-pyrazoles were synthesized by reactions of 3-[(alkylsulfanyl)methyl]- and 3-[(alkanesulfonyl)methyl]pentane-2,4-diones with hydroxylamine and hydrazine, phenylhydrazine, semicarbazide, or thiosemicarbazide, respectively. The heterocyclization of 3-[(alkylsulfanyl)methyl]pentane-2,4-diones with thiosemicarbazide and semicarbazide hydrochloride was accompanied by elimination of amide or thioamide group. 3-[(Alkanesulfonyl)methyl]pentane- 2,4-diones were found to exist in solution as enol tautomers; they were prepared by oxidation of the corresponding 3-[(alkylsulfanyl)methyl]pentane-2,4-diones with hydrogen peroxide in acetic acid in the presence of a catalytic amount of sulfuric acid.     

Regioselective Oligomerization of 3-(Alkylsulfanyl)thiophenes with Ferric Chloride

The action of FeCl(3) on 3-(alkylsulfanyl)thiophenes (3-(alkylthio)thiophenes) leads to the one-step formation of regioregular alpha-conjugated oligothiophenes, from trimer to octamer, depending on the solvent used and on the length of the alkyl chain. The regiochemistry of these oligomers is characterized by one inner head-to-head linkage between adjacent rings and by a variable number of lateral head-to-tail junctions. The reaction of ferric chloride with the head-to-head and head-to-tail bis(methylsulfanyl)-2,2'-bithiophenes gives the corresponding tetramers, while the reaction with the tail-to-tail counterpart affords a high molecular weight insoluble material. With the aid of theoretical calculations, these results are interpreted on the basis of the joint effects of the orienting power of the substituents and of the stability of the radical cations formed during the oxidative process.     

Zinc(II) and lead(II) coordination polymers built by 3-(4-carboxyphenylhydrazono)pentane-2,4-dione

Two coordination polymers [Zn(L)₂(4,4′-bipy)₂] _n (4,4′-bipy = 4,4′-bipyridine) (1) and [Pb(η ²-L)(µ₃-η ²-CH₃COO)(H₂O)] _n (2) have been prepared by the reaction of 3-(4-carboxyphenylhydrazono)pentane-2,4-diketone (HL) with zinc(II) or lead(II) in solution. Polymer 1 shows an infinite zigzag chain, in which Zn(II) are linked by 4,4′-bipy bridges with carboxylate of L^? monodentate to Zn(II). In 2, Pb(II) are bridged by tetradentate µ₃-η ²-CH₃COO^? to form a linear 1-D chain, and each Pb(II) is chelated by carboxylate of L^?. Their molecular structures have been characterized by elemental analysis, infrared, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Thermal and fluorescent properties of the two complexes have been investigated.

Rearrangement of 1,4-benzodiazepin-2,4-diones to 3,l-benzoxazin-4-ones

Treatment of 7-chloro-3,4-dihydro-1H-1,4-benzodiazepin-2,5-dione (Ia) with refluxing acetic anhydride in the presence of pyridine afforded 6-chloro-2-methyl-4H-3,1-benzoxazin-4-one (IIa). A plausible reaction path for this novel rearrangement reaction is described: Ia → 4-acetyl-7-chloro-3,4-dihydro-lH-1,4-benzodiazepin-2,5-dione → 7-chloro-1,4-diacetyl-3,4-dihydro-lH-1,4-benzodiazepin-2,4-dione → IIa.

Synthesis and mesomorphic properties of 3-(4-n-alkyloxyarylaminomethylene)chroman-2,4-diones

The synthesis, characterisation and mesomorphic properties of new liquid crystals are reported. The goal was to obtain amides starting from 7-decanoyloxychromone-3-carboxylic acid and 4-n-alkoxyanilines. However, instead of the expected amides, in each case a mixture of two isomeric E/Z enaminones was isolated, with a ratio 3/1. The mesophase behaviour of the five mixtures was characterised and studied using differential scanning calorimetry and polarising optical microscopy. The transitions are enantiotropic, the peaks being sharp and the mesomorphic range wide. All the compounds exhibit a smectic C phase and the derivatives with shorter chains also exhibit a nematic phase.

Complexes 10-12 can interconvert, depending on pH and temperature, whereas the Cu(II) reactions with 4 in the presence of cyanoguanidine or imidazole (im) afford the monomeric compound [Cu(H(2)O)(4){NCNC(NH(2))(2)}(2)](HL(4))(2)·6H(2)O 14 and the heteroligand polymer [Cu(μ-L(4))(im)](n)15, respectively. The compounds were characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction (complexes), electrochemical and thermogravimetric studies, as well as elemental analysis, IR, (1)H and (13)C NMR spectroscopies (diones) and ESI-MS. The effects of the substituents in 1-8 on the HOMO-LUMO gap and the relative stability of the model compounds [Cu(OH)(L(8))(H(2)O)]·H(2)O, [Cu(L(1))(H(2)O)(2)]·H(2)O and [Cu(L(4))(H(2)O)(2)]·H(2)O are discussed on the basis of DFT calculations that show the stabilization follows the order: two fused 6-membered > two fused 6-membered/5-membered > one 6-membered metallacycles. Complexes 9, 10, 12 and 13 act as catalyst precursors for the peroxidative oxidation (with H(2)O(2)) of cyclohexane to cyclohexanol and cyclohexanone, in MeCN/H(2)O (total yields of ca. 20% with TONs up to 566), under mild conditions.
