Investigation of nitrogen- and sulfur-containing heterocycles. 38. Reactions of 2-mercapto-3-ureidopyridines with halo β-diketones

The reaction of 2-mercapto-3-ureido-6-chloropyridine with chlorodibenzoylmethane in the presence of alkali leads to 2-(benzoylmethylthio)-3-benzamido-6-chloropyridine, whereas the reaction in the absence of alkali leads to 2-chloro-6-phenyl-7-benzoylpyrido[2,3-b] [1,4]thiazine. Under similar conditions 2-(diacetylmethylthio)-3-ureido-6-chloropyridine, 2-(acetylmethylthio)-3-ureido-6-chloropyridine, and 2-chloro-6-methyl-7-acetylpyrido[2,3-b][1,4]thiazine were obtained from 2-mercapto-3-ureido-6-chloropyridine and chloroacetylacetone. Treatment of 2-(diacetylmethylthio)-3-ureido-6-chloropyridine with alcoholic alkali leads to 2-(acetylmethylthio)-3-ureido-6-chloropyridine. 2-Chloro-6-phenyl-7-acetylpyrido-[2,3-b] [1,4]thiazine and 2-(benzoylmethylthio)-3-ureido-6-chloropyridine are formed in the reaction of 2-mercapto-3-ureido-6-chloropyridine with chlorobenzoylacetone in the presence of an equimolar amount of alkali, while 2-(benzoylmethylthio)-3-acetamido-6-chloropyridine is formed when excess alkali is used.

Activation of C-H bonds of arenes: selectivity and reactivity in bis(pyridyl) platinum(II) complexes

The reaction of [PtMe2(NN)] and B(C6F5)3/H2O in CF3CH2OH with arenes Ar-H gives [PtAr{HOB(C6F5)3}(LL)] if the bis(pyridyl) ligand NN forms a six-membered, but not five-membered, chelate ring; methyl-substituted arenes give selectivity for metalation of meta > para > ortho, but methoxy-substituted arenes give ortho > meta, para.     

Pyrimidines

The reaction of methylenebisurea with 5-amino-1-R-pyrazoles and 3-ureido-1-phenylpyrazole gives 1- and 2-R-6-oxo-4,5,6,7-tetrahydropyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidines, respectively. The 1-R-6-oxo-4,5,6,7-tetrahydropyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidines are readily dehydrogenated to 1-R-6-hydroxypyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidines. The 2-R-6-oxo-4,5,6,7-tetrahydropyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidines could not be dehydrogenated.See [1] for communication XXXIV.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 12, pp. 1696–1699, December, 1972.     

Photoinduced triplet-triplet energy transfer via the 2-ureido-4[1H]-pyrimidinone self-complementary quadruple hydrogen-bonded module

Phosphorescence quenching and flash photolysis experiments demonstrate that photoinduced intra-assembly triplet-triplet energy transfer can take place via a 2-ureido-4[1H]-pyrimidinone-bridged benzophenone-naphthalene assembly I with a rate constant of 3.0 x 106 s-1 and an efficiency of 95% in CH2Cl2. This new finding suggests that with high binding strength and directionality, the 2-ureido-4[1H]-pyrimidinone hydrogen-bonded module may serve as a new model to illustrate the fundamental principles governing the triplet-triplet energy-transfer process through hydrogen bonds.     

Molecular rotors: design, synthesis, structural analysis, and silver complex of new [7.7]cyclophanes

New molecular rotors, [7.7](2,6)pyridinocyclophanes (monomers and dimers) embedding 1,3-dioxanes in the bridges, were investigated by variable-temperature NMR, molecular modeling, and single-crystal X-ray diffractometry. The nitrogen-inside rotation of the pyridine ring is more hindered in the derivatives with longer distance between the bridges (i.e., para > meta and 2,6-pyridylene > ortho) and can be chemically stopped by complexation with CF(3)SO(3)Ag.

Nitrogen-, oxygen-, and sulfur-containing heterocycles. 43. Synthesis and properties of 6-oxo-5H-pyrido[2,3-b][1,4]thiazines

It has previously been observed that the carbamide residue in 2-phenacyl-3-ureido- and 2-cyanomethylpyridine is readily cleaved on cyclization to pyridothiazines [1–4]. It was of interest to establish whether a similar process occurs when the carbonyl component is an -halo- or unsaturated acid. If this were the case, this reaction could be used to obtain 6-oxopyrido[2,3-b][1,4]thiazines.For communication 42, see [6].Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 2, pp. 214–218, February, 1985.     

Condensed thiolane 1,1-dioxide systems. 2. Brominated cis-perhydrothieno[3,4-d]oxazoles and imidazoles

Bromocyclization of 2-bromo-4-ureido-2-thiolene 1,1-dioxide has given perhydrothieno[3,4-d]oxazol-2-imino 5,5-dioxide, in which hydrogen atoms are absent from one of the -methylene groups. In weakly basic media, this undergoes conversion into the corresponding aminooxazoline. Treatment of an aqueous solution of 2-bromo-4-ureido-2-thiolene 1,1-dioxide with bases gives a mixture of perhydrothieno[3,4-d]imidazol-2-one 5,5-dioxides in which the bromine atoms have the exo- and endo-orientations. In all the bicyclic compounds, the two rings are cis-fused.For Communication 1, see [1].Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 9, pp. 1264–1268, September, 1988.     

Dinuclear, bishydrated Gd(III) polyaminocarboxylates with a rigid xylene core display remarkable proton relaxivities

Two novel dinuclear Gd(III) complexes have been synthesized, based on a xylene core substituted with diethylenetriamine-N,N,N',N'-tetraacetate (DTTA) chelators in para or meta position. The complexes [Gd2(pX(DTTA)2)(H2O)4]2- and [Gd2(mX(DTTA)2)(H2O)4]2- both exhibit high complex stability (log K(GdL) = 19.1 and 17.0, respectively), and a good selectivity for Gd(III) against Zn(II), the most abundant endogenous metal ion (log K(ZnL) = 17.94 and 16.19). The water exchange rate is identical within experimental error for the two isomers: k(ex)298 = (9.0 +/- 0.4) x 10(6) s(-1) for [Gd2(pX(DTTA)2)(H2O)4]2- and (8.9 +/- 0.5) x 10(6) s(-1) for [Gd2(mX(DTTA)2)(H2O)4]2-. It is very similar to the k(ex)298 of the structural analogue, bishydrated [Gd(TTAHA)(H2O)2]3-, and about twice as high as that of the monohydrated [Gd(DTPA)(H2O)]2- (TTAHA(6-) = N-tris(2-aminoethyl)amine-N',N',N',N',N',N'-hexaacetate; DTPA(5-) = diethylenetriamine-N,N,N',N',N'-pentaacetate). This relatively fast water exchange can be related to the presence of two inner sphere water molecules which decrease the stereorigidity of the inner sphere thus facilitating the water exchange process. At all frequencies, the water proton relaxivities (r1 = 16.79 and 15.84 mM(-1) s(-1) for the para and meta isomers, respectively; 25 degrees C and 20 MHz) are remarkably higher for the two dinuclear chelates than those of mononuclear commercial contrast agents or previously reported dinuclear Gd(III) complexes. This is mainly the consequence of the two inner-sphere water molecules. In addition, the increased molecular size as compared to monomeric compounds associated with the rigid xylene linker between the two Gd(III) chelating subunits also contributes to an increased relaxivity. However, proton relaxivity is still limited by fast molecular motions which also hinder any beneficial effect of the increased water exchange rate.     

1,2,5-Selenadiazoles. Synthesis and properties

4-Amino-1, 2, 5-selenadiazole-3-carboxylic acid and 4-amino-1, 2, 5-selenadiazole-3-carboxamides have been prepared by ring-cleavage of [1, 2, 5]selenadiazolo[3, 4-d]pyrimidin-7(6H)-one by basic reagents. The primary amide (III), as well as an N-alkyl amide, may be produced by the action of a primary amine. Hydrazine reductively cleaves the selenadiazole ring. The preparation of similar 4-ureido derivatives by ring-cleavage of [1,2,5]selenadiazolo[3, 4-d]pyrimidine-5, 7(4 H, 6H)-dione has been demonstrated with two examples. N-Butyl-4-ureido-1, 2, 5-selenadiazole-3-carboxamide is easily hydrolyzed in aqueous base to the corresponding acid, and it has been shown that this reaction proceeds by way of [1, 2, 5]selenadiazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine-5, 7 (4H, 6H)-dione. The 4-amino-1, 2, 5-selenadiazole-3-carboxylic acid derivatives have marked cytotoxic, antibacterial, and antifungal activity.     

Syntheses and structures of isomeric [6.6]- and [8.8]cyclophanes with 1,4-dioxabut-2-yne and 1,6-dioxahexa-2,4-diyne bridges

All three isomers (ortho, meta, and para) of [8.8]cyclophane bearing 1,6-dioxahexa-2,4-diyne bridges have been synthesized and structually characterized by single-crystal X-ray crystallography to determine the conformation of the cyclophanes and their cavity dimensions. The three isomeric [6.6]cyclophanes bearing 1,4-dioxabut-2-yne bridges have also been synthesized from but-2-yne-1,4-diol ditosylate and the isomeric dihydroxybenzenes. The [6.6]orthocyclophane has been structurally characterized by single-crystal X-ray crystallography. The energy-minimized structures from the semiempirical AM1 calculations of these cyclophanes compare very well with the structures obtained by X-ray crystallography.

Solid-phase synthesis of n,n-disubstituted s,n'-diarylisothioureas: facile exchange reactions of isocyanates

Reactions of resin-bound 1,1-disubstituted-2-arylisothioureas 4aa',ab'-ec' with aryl isocyanates, diversely substituted at the para and/or meta positions, and with o-fluoro- and 2,4-difluorophenyl isocyanate followed by appropriate cleavage led to the formation of N,N-disubstituted S,N'-diarylisothioureas 9[1-70] in good yields and high purities.     

A highly directional fourfold hydrogen-bonding motif for supramolecular structures through self-assembly of fullerodendrimers

Supramolecular dendrimers resulting from the dimerization of fullerene-functionalized dendrons through a quadruple hydrogen-bonding motif were prepared. The synthetic strategy is based on the esterification of a tert-butoxycarbonyl (Boc)-protected 2-ureido-4-[1H]pyrimidinone precursor possessing an alcohol function with fullerodendrons bearing a carboxylic acid unit at the focal point. Subsequent acidic treatment to cleave the protecting group and reaction of the resulting amine with octylisocyanate affords the targeted compounds. As demonstrated by the results of MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry and 1H NMR spectroscopy, both of the 2-ureido-4-[1H]pyrimidinone derivatives form self-assembled dimers spontaneously through hydrogen-bonding interactions, thus leading to supramolecular structures containing two or ten fullerene moieties.     

Catalytic Reactions in Heterophosphole Complex Chemistry

Catalytic reaction of 2 H -azaphosphirene complex 1 with ortho -, meta -, and para -benzodinitrile ( 2a-c ) led in all cases to the 2 H -1,4,2-diazaphosphole complexes 3a-c if ferrocenium hexafluorophosphate was used as catalyst. In the case of the meta - and para -benzodinitriles 2b-c , the bis-2 H -1,4,2-diazaphosphole complexes 4b-c were additionally obtained. Under the same reaction conditions, acetone, diethylketone and cyclohexanone ( 5a-c ) reacted with complex 1 to yield j 3 -1,3,2-oxazaphospholene complexes 6a-c in good yields.     

Neue stellungsisomere Reineckesalzanaloga mit Meta- und Para-Toluylendiamin

New Position Isomeric Analoga of Reinecke Salt with m- and p-Tolylenediamine Two position isomeric Reinecke salt analogous complexes, [Cr(NCS)₄(m-TolyIenediamine)₂]^? and [Cr(NCS)₄(p-Tolylenediamine)₂]^?, were obtained by means of substitution reactions of anhydrous K₃[Cr(NCS)₆] with meta and para tolylenediamine, respectively, without solvent. The formulae of the new complex anions were established by preparation of 18 new derivatives with the hydrochlorides of some alksloides, and cobalt(III) amine bases. From electronic and IR spectral data some structural problems are solved. The thermal stability of some complexes was discussed on the basis of derivatographic analysis.     

Tuning emission wavelength and redox properties through position of the substituent in iridium(III) cyclometallated complexes

Cyclometallated phenyls with substituents para to the metal have a larger impact on the redox potentials and emission of complexes [Ir(R-ppz)(2)(bipy)][PF(6)] than substituents at the meta position and hence enable tuning of emission wavelength over a wider range using the same substituent.     

Regioselectivity of the Diels-Alder Additions of 2-Substituted 5,6 Dimethylidenenorbornanes and-bicyclo[2.2.2]octanes

The cycloadditions of methyl propynoate and methyl vinyl ketone to 5,6-dimethylidene-2-norbornanone ( 6 ) are para′-regioselective

1 “Para” (p) designs in this paper the 4, 9-disubstituted tricclo[6.2.1.0^{2, 7}] undecane- and 4, 9-disubsstituted tricycle[6.2.20^2,7] dodecane derivatives, “meta” (m) design the corresponding 4, 10-disubstituted compounds.

. A smaller para -regioselectivity is observed for the addition of methyl propynoate to 5,6-dimethylidene-2bicyclo[2.2.2]octanone ( 10 ). No regioselectivity is observed with 5,6-dimethylidene-2exo-norbornyl alcohol ( 3 ), acetate ( 5 ) and 5,6-dimethylidene-2exo-bicyclo[2.2.2]octanol ( 9 ). PMO arguments based on the shape of the HOMO's and subHOMO's of the dienes allow to rationalize these observations. Unpredictable para′- or ‘meta’regioselectivities are found for the Diels,-Alder additions of 5,6-dimethylidene-2endo-norbornyl alcohol ( 2 ), acetate ( 4 ) and 5,6-dimethylidene-2endo-bicyclo[2.2.2]octanol ( 8 ). The carbonyl group of β,γ unsaturated ketones such as 6 and 10 can act as an electron donating homoconjugated substituent. The n(CO) ? σ[C(1), C(2)] ? π[C(5), C(6)] hyperconjugative interaction can override the usual electron-withdrawing effect of this function.     

Studies on the syntheses of heterocyclic compounds. CDXCI pyrimidine derivatives V. Abnormal condensation products of 4-amino-6-chloro-2-methoxypyrimidine with p-nitrobenzenesulfonyl chloride

Condensation of 4-amino-6-chloro-2-methoxypyrimidine (I) with p-nitrobenzenesulfonyl chloride (II) gave, in addition to 6-chloro-2-methoxy-4-(p-nitrobenzenesulfonamido)pyrimidine (III), two abnormal by-products, the structures of which were assigned as 1 -[2-methoxy-4-(p-nitrobenzenesulfonamido)pyrimidine-6-yl]pyridinium N,N-betaine (IV) and N-(p-nitrobenzene-sulfonyl)-β-ureido-β-pyridinium acrylamide N,N-betaine (V).     

Stoichiometric and catalytic H/D incorporation by cationic iridium complexes: a common monohydrido-iridium intermediate

A mechanistic study of the stoichiometric and catalytic H/D exchange reactions involving cationic iridium complexes is presented. Strong evidence suggests that both stoichiometric and catalytic reactions proceed via a monohydrido-iridium species. Stoichiometric deuterium incorporation reactions introduce multiple deuterium atoms into the organic products when aryliridium compounds CpPMe(3)Ir(C(6)H(4)X)(OTf) (X = H, o-CH(3), m-CH(3), p-CH(3)) react with D(2). Multiple deuteration occurs at the unhindered positions (para and meta) of toluene, when X = CH(3). The multiple-deuteration pathway is suppressed in the presence of an excess of the coordinating ligand, CH(3)CN. The compound CpPMe(3)IrH(OTf) (1-OTf) is observed in low-temperature, stoichiometric experiments to support a monohydrido-iridium intermediate that is responsible for catalyzing multiple deuteration in the stoichiometric system. When paired with acetone-d(6)(), [CpPMe(3)IrH(3)][OTf] (4) catalytically deuterates a wide range of substrates with a variety of functional groups. Catalyst 4 decomposes to [CpPMe(3)Ir(eta(3)-CH(2)C(OH)CH(2))][OTf] (19) in acetone and to [CpPMe(3)IrH(CO)][OTf] (1-CO) in CH(3)OH. The catalytic H/D exchange reaction is not catalyzed by simple H(+) transfer, but instead proceeds by a reversible C-H bond activation mechanism.     

Substituent effect and rearrangements in the electron-impact spectra of long chain esters of m-and p-methoxybenzoic acid

The mass spectra of eighteen n-alkyl estars of p-methoxybenzoic acid are examined. Few differences exist in the spectra of the corresponding para and meta isomers. We describe a new rearrangement, loss of OH from the molecular ion, whichis observed only in the para substituted isomkers. Oxygen-18 labeling indicates that the oxygen lost in the [M? OH]+ ion derives from the carbonyl. No indication is found of hydrogen abstration from the chain by the methoxy group competing withthe benzoate ester rearrangement. We find a substituent effect on that rearrangement, with electron-donating groups decreasing the values of [ArCO₂H₂]⁺/[ArCO₂H]⁺· ion ratios. this ratio decreases as the ester chain length increases.
