Synthesis and reactions with <Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-nucleophiles of 1-(thien-2-yl)- and 1-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-3,4,4-trichloro-3-buten-1-ones

Acylation of thiophene and phenol with 3,4,4-trichloro-3-butenoyl chloride afforded the corresponding 1-(thien-2-yl)- and 1-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-3,4,4-trichloro-3-buten-1-ones, whose reaction with amines led to the formation of 3-amino-1-(thien-2-yl, 4-hydroxyphenyl)-4,4-dichloro-2-buten-1-ones The heterocyclization of the initial ketones into pyrazole structure was not observed, and the reaction with hydrazine hydrate provided bispyrazole products, N,N′-bis(5-thien-2-yl)- and N,N′-bis[5-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-1H-pyrazol-3-ylmethylene]hydrazines.     

Functionally Substituted Amides and Esters of 3,4,4-Trichloro-3-butenoic Acid

Substituted amides and esters of 3,4,4-trichloro-3-butenoic acid were prepared by reactions of its chloride with appropriate amines and alcohols. Treatment of 3,4,4-trichloro-3-butenomorpholide and tert-butyl 3,4,4-trichloro-3-butenoate results in nucleophilic substitution of the internal chlorine atom with the morpholine residue, accompanied by prototropic allyl rearrangement.     

5-(Naphth-1-yl)- and 5-[(1,1′-biphenyl)-4-yl]isoxazole-3-carbaldehyde oximes: Synthesis,complexes with palladium,and application in catalysis

1-(Naphth-1-yl)- and 1-[(1,1′-biphenyl)-4-yl-3,4,4-trichloro-3-buten-1-ones were synthesized by acylation of naphthalene and biphenyl with 3,4,4-trichloro-3-butenoyl chloride. Further reaction with hydroxylamine led to 5-(naphth-1-yl)- and 5-[(1,1′-biphenyl)-4-yl]isoxazole-3-carbaldehyde oximes. The latter form complexes with palladium, which possess high catalytic activity in the Suzuki reaction in aqueous and aqueous-alcoholic media.     

Reactions of 1-aryl-2-bromo-3,4,4-trichlorobut-3-en-1-ones with some nucleophilic reagents

Reactions of 2-bromo-1-phenyl- and 2-bromo-1-(4-methylphenyl)-3,4,4-trichlorobut-3-en-1-ones with morpholine and diethylamine are accompanied by prototropic allylic rearrangement, leading to 3-amino-1-aryl-2-bromo-4,4-dichlorobut-2-en-1-ones as mixtures of E and Z isomers. The title compounds react with hydrazine, hydroxylamine, and thiourea to give the corresponding 5-aroyl-4-methoxypyrazoles, 3-aryl-5-hydroxyiminomethyl-4-methoxyisoxazoles, and 2-amino-4-aryl-5-trichlorovinylthiazoles.     

Synthesis of 2,4-diphenyl-1H-pyrrol-1-amine derivatives

The direction of the reaction of 4-bromo-1,3-diphenyl-2-buten-1-one (γ-bromodypnone) with hydrazines depends on the nature of the substituent they contain. Reaction with 1-methylhydrazinium hydrosulfate gives 1-methyl-3,5-diphenylpyridazin-1-ium bromide but carboxylic acid hydrazides give N-(2,4-diphenyl-1H-pyrrol-1-yl)carboxylic acid amides. γ-Bromodypnone and phenylhydrazine give both 1,3,5-triphenyl-1,4-dihydropyridazine and N,2,4-triphenyl-1H-pyrrol-1-amine (15%). 1-(2,4-Dinitrophenyl)hydrazine gives the 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazone of (Z)-4-bromo-1,3-diphenyl-2-buten-1-one. Condensation of 2,4-diphenyl-1H-pyrrol-1-amine with aromatic aldehydes readily leads to N-(arylmethylidene)-2,4-diphenyl-1H-pyrrol-1-amines and alkylation with methyl iodide gives N,N-dimethyl-2,4-diphenyl-1H-pyrrol-1-amine.

Synthesis of 3-aryl-5-dichloromethyl-1H-pyrazole-1-carboxamides from 1-aryl-3,4,4-trichlorobut-3-en-1-ones

The reaction of 1-aryl-3,4,4-trichlorobut-3-en-1-ones with semicarbazide hydrochloride in the presence of sodium acetate is accompanied by prototropic allylic rearrangement, leading to the formation of two isomeric products, semicarbazones of the initial ketones and 1-aryl-3,4,4-trichlorobut-2-en-1-one semicarbazones. The latter undergo heterocyclization in the presence of triethylamine to give the corresponding 3-aryl-5-dichloromethyl-1H-pyrazole-1-carboxamides.     

1,1-bis(3,5-dimethyl-1-pyrazolyl)- and 1-Amino-1-(3,5-dimethyl-1-pyrazolyl)-4,4-dichloro-1-buten-3-ones

Reaction of 1,1,4,4-tetrachloro-3-buten-2-one with 3,5-dimethylpyrazole gave 1,1-dichloro- 4,4-bis-(3,5-dimethyl-1-pyrazolyl)-3-buten-2-one. Treatment of the latter with amines resulted in replacement of one pyrazole ring by the amine residue with formation of the corresponding 4-amino-1,1-dichloro-4-(3,5- dimethyl-1-pyrazolyl)-3-buten-2-ones.Translated from Zhurnal Organicheskoi Khimii, Vol. 40, No. 10, 2004, pp. 1557–1560.Original Russian Text Copyright © 2004 by Potkin, Petkevich, Kaberdin, Kurman.     

Interaction of (z)-4-bromo-1,3-di(2-thienyl)- 2-buten-1-one with amines,synthesis of di(2-thienyl)azolo[<Emphasis Type="Italic">a</Emphasis>]pyridines

(Z)-4-Bromo-1,3-di(2-thienyl)-2-buten-1-one was obtained by the bromination of 1,3-di(2-thienyl)-2-buten-1-one by NBS in anhydrous CCl₄. The starting butanone was obtained by the condensation of 1-(2-thienyl)-1-ethanone by the action of SOCl₂. The reaction of (Z)-4-bromo-1,3-di(2-thienyl)-2-buten-1-one with tertiary amines such as Et₃N, pyridine, 1-alkyl-1,3-diazole, 1-alkylbenzimidazole, and 1-alkyl-1,2,4-triazole leads to quaternary salts. The azolium salts cyclize by the action of base to give di(2-thienyl)azolo[a]pyridinium derivatives. 3-Methyl-6,8-di(2-thienyl)[1,3]thiazolo[3,2-a]pyridin-4-ium and 2,4-di(2-thienyl)pyrido[2,1-b]benzothiazol-10-ium bromides were obtained by the same procedure but without separating the intermediate quaternary salts.

Condensation of 5-(4-methylphenyl)-2,4-dihydro-3H-1,2,4-triazole-3-thione with haloacetic acids

Reactions of triazolethiones with haloacetic acids were studied with 5-(4-methylphenyl)-2,4-dihydro-3H-1,2,4-triazole-3-thione as an example. It was proved for the first time by X-ray diffraction that the cyclocondensation of these compounds proceeds regiospecifically to give 2-(4-methylphenyl)[1,3]thiazolo[3,2-b][1,2,4]triazol-6(5H)-one rather than its isomer 3-(4-methylphenyl)[1,3]thiazolo[2,3-c][1,2,4]triazol-5(6H)-one.     

Synthesis of 3-substitued 5-(2-thienyl)isoxazoles

The reaction of 3,4,4-trichloro-1-(2-thienyl)but-3-en-1-one with hydroxylamine gave 3-hydroxyiminomethyl-5-(2-thienyl)isoxazole which was converted into 5-(2-thienyl)isoxazole-3-carbonitrile by the action of acetic anhydride in pyridine. 5-(2-Thienyl)isoxazole-3-carbonitrile reacted with hydroxylamine to produce the corresponding amide oxime. Heterocyclization of its O-acyl derivatives in acetic acid afforded 5-substituted 3-[5-(2-thienyl)isoxazol-3-yl]-1,2,4-oxadiazoles.     

Synthesis of 3,4-dibromo-3,4,4-trichloro-1-phenylbutan-1-one and 1-aryl-2-bromo-3,4,4-trichlorobut-3-en-1-ones from 3,4,4-trichlorobut-3-enoic acid

Bromination of 3,4,4-trichlorobut-3-enoic acid in boiling carbon tetrachloride led to the formation of 2-bromo-3,4,4-trichlorobut-3-enoic acid as a result of replacement of hydrogen in the CH₂ group. The reaction at 40°C involved the double C=C bond to give 3,4-dibromo-3,4,4-trichlorobutanoic acid. The brominated acids were converted into the corresponding chlorides which were used to acylate benzene, toluene, and bromobenzene according to Friedel-Crafts. The acylation was not selective, and only the reaction of 3,4-dibromo-3,4,4-trichlorobutanoyl chloride with benzene gave 3,4-dibromo-3,4,4-trichloro-1-phenylbutan-1-one as the only product. 1-Aryl-2-bromo-3,4,4-trichlorobut-3-en-1-ones were synthesized by bromination of the corresponding 1-aryl-3,4,4-trichlorobut-3-en-1-ones which were prepared previously by Friedel-Crafts acylation of substituted benzenes with 3,4,4-trichlorobut-3-enoyl chloride.     

Synthesis of Sybstituted Isoxazoles and Pyrazoles Based on 1-Aryl-3,4,4-trichloro-3-buten-1-ones

3-Aryl-5-methylenehydroxyiminoisoxazoles were synthesized by reaction of 1-aryl-3,4,4-trichloro-3-buten-1-ones with hydroxylamine. Reactions of ketones with hydrazine provided pyrazole structures; therewith two pyrazole molecules underwent coupling affording 3-arylpyrazole-5-carbaldehyde azines.

Condensation of acetylferrocene with 5-phenyl(4-methylphenyl)-1,2-oxazole-3-carbaldehydes afforded (Е)-3-[5-phenyl(4-methylphenyl)-1,2-oxazol-3-yl]-1-ferrocenylprop-2-en-1-ones. Reactions of (Е)-3-[5-(4-methylphenyl)-1,2-oxazol-3-yl]-1-ferrocenylprop-2-en-1-one with semicarbazide, thiosemicarbazide, and hydroxylamine led to the formation of 5-[5-(4-methylphenyl)-1,2-oxazol-3-yl]-3-ferrocenyl-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazole- 1-carboxamide, 5-[5-(4-methylphenyl)-1,2-oxazol-3-yl]-3-ferrocenyl-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazole-1-carbothioamide, and 5-(4-methylphenyl)-3'-ferrocenyl-4',5'-dihydro-3,5'-bi-1,2-oxazole respectively. Reactions of (Е)-3-[5-(4-methylphenyl)-1,2-oxazol-3-yl]-1-ferrocenylprop-2-en-1-one with guanidine and thiourea result in 4-[5-(4-methyl-phenyl)-1,2-oxazol-3-yl]-6-ferrocenylpyrimidin-2-amine and -2-thione respectively.

The interaction of the sodium salts of 3-(1-adamantyl)-1-hydroxy-1-propen-3-one and 4-(1-adamantyl)-1-hydroxy-1-buten-3-one with hydroxylamine, hydrazine, and guanidine leads to the synthesis of 5-(1-adamantyl)-5-hydroxy- and 5-(1-adamantylmethyl)-5-hydroxy-2-isoxazolines, 3-(1-adamantyl)- and 3-(1-adamantylmethyl)pyrazoles, 3-(1-adamantyl)-2-phenylpyrazole, and 4-(1-adamantyl)-2-amino- and 4-(1-adamantylmethyl)-2-aminopyrimidines.     

1-Bis(methoxy)-4-bis(methylthio)-3-buten-2-one: useful three carbon synthon for synthesis of five and six membered heterocycles with masked (or unmasked) aldehyde functionality

1-Bis(methoxy)-4-bis(methylthio)-3-buten-2-one has been shown to be a useful three carbon synthon for efficient regiospecific synthesis of a variety of five (pyrazole and isoxazole) and six membered (pyrimidines, pyridone and pyridines) heterocycles with masked (or unmasked) aldehyde functionality by cyclocondensation with bifunctional heteronucleophiles such as hydrazine, hydroxylamine, guanidine, thiourea, cyanoacetamide and substituted β-lithioaminoacrylonitriles. Reaction of 1-bis(methoxy)-4-bis(methylthio)-3-buten-2-one with methylene iodide and Zn-Cu couple under Simmons-Smith reaction conditions afforded 2-(methylthio)thiophene-4-aldehyde in good yield, whereas cycloaromatization with thiophene-2- and 3-acetonitriles gave the corresponding substituted benzothiophene-4- and 7-aldehydes in good yields.

Using 4-phenyl- and 4-(4-methoxyphenyl)-3-buten-2-ones as examples, it was shown that the reaction pattern does not change in going from the Lewis acids AlCl3 and AlBr3 to proton-donor acid system CF₃SO₃H-SbF₅. The reactive intermediates are likely to be C-protonated complexes of ,-unsaturated ketones with aluminum halides or their O,C-diprotonated analogs.
