Synthesis of 2,5 -Bis(4-methyl-2-thienyl)thiophene and 2,5-Bis(4-methyl-2-thienyl)pyrrole

Syntheses of 2,5-bis(4-methyl-2-thienyl)thiophene 3 and 2,5-bis(4-methyl-2-thienyl)pyrrole 4 are described.

A convenient synthesis of 2,5-diaroyl-4-hydroxy cyclopent-2-enones incorporating aromatic and heteroaromatic moieties

Abstract

The base-catalyzed reaction of 1,5-diphenyl-pentane-1,3,5-trione with aromatic/heteroaromatic 1,2-diones leading to the synthesis of 2,5-diaroyl-4-hydroxycyclopent-2-enones and its conversion to 2,5-diaroylcyclopentadienones is reported here. 2,5-Dibenzoyl-4-hydroxycyclopent-2-enone and 2,5-dithenoyl-4-hydroxycyclopent-2-enone are valuable compounds which act as chemosensors for selective detection of Fe³⁺ and Cu²⁺, respectively.

Gas-phase elimination reactions of 4-substituted-2-alkoxythiazoline-5-ones

Gas-phase eliminations of 4-substituted-2-alkoxythiazoline-5-ones have been studied. These compounds eliminate via a six-membered transition state to produce 4-substituted-thiazolidine-2,5-diones. These eliminations are unimolecular first-order reactions. Utilization of this thermolysis reaction in the synthesis of new 4-substituted-thiazolidine-2,5-diones is considered. Additional mechanistic information was obtained by comparing the kinetic data for thermal elimination reactions of these compounds with that of 1-ethoxythiazole. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Facile synthesis of 2-(substituted amino)-4H-thieno[3,2-e]-1,3-thiazin-4-ones

Interaction between 2,5-dichlorothiophene-3-carbonyl isothiocyanate, accessible via 2,5-dichlorothiophene-3-carbonyl chloride, and model heterocyclic amines produced the respective 2,5-dichloro-N-(substituted aminocarbonothioyl)thiophene-3-carboxamides. Upon heating, the deprotonated form of the latter underwent intramolecular cyclization to deliver the corresponding 2-(substituted amino)-4H-thieno[3,2-e]-1,3-thiazin-4-ones. The structures of these new bicyclic derivatives and their acyclic precursors are based on microanalytical and spectral (IR, MS, and NMR) data.     

Synthesis and Photoinitiated Isomerizations of 3-(4-Nitrophenyl)-and 3-(4-Aminophenyl)bicyclo[2.2.1]hepta-2,5-diene-2-carbaldehyde and -2-carboxylic acid Derivatives

3-(4-Nitrophenyl)bicyclo[2.2.1]hepta-2,5-diene-2-carbaldehyde and its derivatives at the formyl group were synthesized. By reduction of the nitro group the corresponding 3-(4-aminophenyl)-substituted compounds were obtained, as well as 4,4'-bis(bicyclo[2.2.1]hepta-2,5-dien-2-yl)azobenzenes.
