Heterocyclic tautomerisms. III. An investigation of the 2-arylbenzothiazoline-2-(benzylideneamino)thiophenol tautomerism. Part 3

The electronic spectra of various, substituted 2-arylbenzothiazoline (1)-2-(benzylideneamino)-thiophenol (II) tautomers were studied in order to determine what species were present in ethanol solution. In every case examined the absorption spectra closely resembled those of the correspondingly substituted 3-methyl-2-arylbenzothiazolines (III) and differed markedly from those of corresponding 2-(benzylideneamino)phenyl methyl sulfides (IV). These results indicate that, under the conditions examined, the 2-arylbenzothiazoline tautomer (I) predominates. Infrared spectra determined or solid samples of series I-II, III and IV were entirely in accord with structure I.     

Heterocyclic tautomerisms. II. An investigation of the 2-arylbenzothiazoline 2-(benzylideneamino)thiophenol tautomerism. Part 2

The reaction between 4-mercaptoaniline and various aromatic aldehydes was studied as a model system in order to determine which type of substitution on the aryl group in 2-arylbenzothiazolines (1) might give rise to the greatest possible stabilization of the hypothetical 2-(benzylideneamino)thiophenol tautomer (II). Regardless of electronic effect of substituents, most aldehydes reacted with 4-mercaptoaniline to form poly[4-(benzylideneamino)thiophenols] (III). Aromatic aldehydes substituted in the 2 position with the hydroxyl function reacted to form the stable, monomeric 4-(benzylideneamino)thiophenols (IV). This stabilization in the monomeric state is presumed to be due to the hydrogen-bonded nature of these compounds (V). Both monomeric and polymeric compounds reacted with benzalacetophenone in the presence of a basic catalyst in the manner to be expected of the 4-(benzylideneamino)thiophenol structure (IV) yielding correspondingly substituted 1,3-diphenyl-1-[4-(benzylideneamino)phenylthio]-3-propanones (VI).     

Condensed Pyridazines. Part I. Synthesis of 2-Oxo-2H-pyrano[2,3-D]-pyridazine and 2-Oxo-2H-pyrano[2,3-c] pyridazine

The reaction of 4,7-diehlorofuro[2,3-d]pyridazine (1) with potassium cyanide in DMSO gave two products, (E)-3,6-diehloro-5-(2-cyanovinyl)-4-hydroxypyridazine (II) and 5,8-dichloro-2-oxo-2H-pyrano[2,3-d]pyridazine (III) as a result of ring opening or ring expansion. A new ring system, 2-oxo-2H-pyrano[2,3-c]pyridazines (IX, XII, XIII) was obtained from 5,8-dichloro-3-methyl-2-oxo-2H-pyrano[2,3-d]pyridazine (VI).     

Reaction of a copper(II)-nitrosyl complex with hydrogen peroxide: putative formation of a copper(I)-peroxynitrite intermediate

The reaction of a Cu(II)-nitrosyl complex (1) with hydrogen peroxide at -20 °C in acetonitrile results in the formation of the corresponding Cu(I)-peroxynitrite intermediate. The reduction of the Cu(II) center was monitored by UV-visible spectroscopic studies. Formation of the peroxynitrite intermediate has been confirmed by its characteristic phenol ring nitration reaction as well as isolation of corresponding Cu(I)-nitrate (2). On air oxidation, 2 resulted in the corresponding Cu(II)-nitrate (3). Thus, these results demonstrate a possible decomposition pathway for H(2)O(2) and NO through the formation of a peroxynitrite intermediate in biological systems.     

2-Amino-2-thiazoline. V. phenylthioureido and phenylureido derivatives of 2-thiazoline

The reaction of 2-amino-2-thiazoline (I) with phenylisothiocyanate has been reported to give 2-imino-3-phenylthiocarbamoylthiazolidine (II) at low temperatures and l-phenyl-3-(2-thiazolin-2-yl)-2-thiourea (III) at ca. 100°. When performed by us, however, this reaction gave only a single mono-adduct regardless of the temperature. Nmr and chemical evidence indicates that structure III is the correct one. Treatment of I with phenylisocyanate also gave a mono-adduct which was established to be l-phenyl-3-(2-thiazolin-2-yl)urea (V). Compound I does not form a simple di-adduct with excess phenylisothiocyanate but does so with phenylisocyanate to give 2-phenylcarbamoylimino-3-phenylcarbamoylthiazolidine (VI). The reaction of III with phenylisocyanate gives 2-phenylthiocarbamoylimino-3-phenylcarbamoylthiazolidine (VII), however, the corresponding reaction of V with phenylisothiocyanate does not give the anticipated product but a mixture of compounds which includes VI and VII.     

Synthesis of water-soluble lithium,sodium, potassium,and cesium salts of (E)-2-[4-methoxy(3,4-dimethoxy)-benzylideneamino]-2-alkyl(aralkyl)acetic acids

A convenient method of preparative synthesis of water-soluble lithium, sodium, potassium, and cesium salts of (E)-2-[4-methoxy(3,4-dimethoxy)benzylideneamino]-2-alkyl(aralkyl)acetic acids via reaction of anisic or veratric aldehyde with natural amino acids (glycine, L-valine, L-leucine, L-isoleucine or Ltryptophan) in the presence of lithium hydride or carbonates of sodium, potassium, or cesium in boiling methanol was developed.     

Reaction of dihalocarbenes with 2-(benzylideneamino)pyridines. Cyclization of 2-(benzylideneamino)pyridinium dihalomethylids to give 2-aryl-3-haloimidazo[1,2-α]pyridines

Pyridinium dichloromethylids, formed in the reaction of dichlorocarbene with 2-(benzylideneamino)pyridines, undergo intramolecular 1,5-cyclization to give 2-aryl-3-chloroimidazo[1,2-a]pyridines, which undergo partial conversion to 2-aryl-3-chloro-4H-pyrido[1,2-a]pyrimidin-4-ones under the reaction conditions. 2-Aryl-3-bromoimidazo[1,2-a]pyridines and 2-[N-(1-aryl-2,2,2-tribromoethyl)amino]pyridines, respectively, are obtained in the reaction of dibromocarbene and the tribromomethyl onion generated in the reaction of bromoform with potassium hydroxide.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 6, pp. 810–816, June, 1991.     

Anil-Synthese. 15. Mitteilung. Über die Herstellung von heterocyclisch substituierten Stilbenyl-Derivaten des 2H-1,2,3-Triazols

Preparation of heterocyclic substituted stilbenyl derivatives of 2H-1,2,3-triazole Schiff's bases derived from 2- and 4-(p-formylphenyl)-2H-1,2,3-triazoles and o- or p-chloroaniline are reacted with various p-tolyl substitued aromatic heterocycles in the presence of dimethylformamide and potassium hydroxide or potassium t-butoxide to yield the corresponding heterocyclic substituted stilbenes (“Anilsynthesis”). In order to avoid opening of the 2H-1,2,3-triazole ring, the reaction is carried out without external heating. In many cases an improvement in yield is obtained by irradiation with UV. light at the beginning of the reaction.     

Novel one-pot multicomponent synthesis of (E)-2-(benzylideneamino)-5-mercapto-4H-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)-2,3-dihydrophthalazine-1,4-dione derivatives

Abstract

An expeditious, one-pot multicomponent reaction has been developed for the synthesis of (E)-2-(benzylideneamino)-5-mercapto-4H-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)-2,3-dihydrophthalazine-1,4-dione derivatives. Condensation of 4-amino-5-hydrazino-4H-1,2,4-triazole-3-thiol with phthalic anhydride and aromatic aldehyde afforded the (E)-2-(benzylideneamino)-5-mercapto-4H-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)-2,3-dihydrophthalazine-1,4-diones in acetic acid medium with excellent yields. All the synthesized compounds were characterized by their analytical and spectral data.     

Oxidizing Reactions of Azines. 7. Imination of 4-Aryl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridines by Arylamines in the Presence of Potassium Permanganate. Molecular Structure of 1-Methyl-2-(4-nitrophenylimino)-4-phenyl-1,2,5,6-tetrahydropyridine

On treating 4-aryl substituted 1-methyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridines with potassium permanganate in the presence of arylamines a previously unknown intermolecular oxidative imination reaction occurs leading to the formation of 2-(arylimino)-1,2,5,6-tetrahydropyridines. The molecular structure of 1-methyl-2-(4-nitrophenylimino)-4-phenyl-1,2,5,6-tetrahydropyridine was studied by X-ray analysis and it was shown that the hydropyridine ring of the molecule has a sofa conformation and its amidine fragment is in the E-configuration.     

Stereospecific synthesis of new 5-substituted 6-methyl-4,5-dihydro-2H-pyridazin-3-ones. X-ray assignment study

Reaction of hydrazine hydrate with 4,5-dihydro-3H-4-acetyl furan-2-ones I led to ring opening and rearrangement into 6-methyl-4,5-dihydro-2H-pyridazin-3-ones II ( 1–20 ), the structure of which was determined by spectroscopic methods (ir, ¹H and ¹³C nmr). An X-ray crystal structure study of compound 2 supports the assignment of configuration erythro (5RS, 7SR) for pyridazinones II. Stereochemical courses of this new synthetic route are discussed.     

Synthesis and antiinflammatory activity of the sulfoxides of 4-[3-(dimethylamino)propyl] - 3,4- dihydro- 2-(1-hydroxyethyl)-3-phenyl-2H-1,4-benzothiazine

Oxidation of 4-[3-(dimethylamino)propyl]-3,4-dihydro-2-(1-hydroxyethyl)-3-phenyl-2H-1,4-benzothiazine, hydrochloride (I) with hydrogen peroxide yielded a mixture of two sulfoxides (II). Since this mixture exhibited antiinflammatory activity, the two components (Isomers A and B) were prepared in purified form by oxidation of I with N-chlorosuccinimide and hydrogen peroxide, respectively. Isomer A was more potent than Isomer B in the carrageenin-induced edema test.     

Stereoselective synthesis of substituted piperazines

The treatment of allylarylamines with mercury(II) acetate in tetrahydrofuran followed by a double decomposition reaction with potassium bromide leads to trans-2,5-bis(bromomercuriomethyl)-1,4-diarylpiperazines (2). The stereochemistry of the reaction products has been elucidated by an ¹H-nmr spectroscopic study of the trans-2,5-dimethyl-1,4-diarylpiperazines (3) obtained by sodium borohydride reduction of 2 in alkaline media. The course of the reaction strongly depends on the steric demand of the groups attached to either the allylic group or the ortho-position in the aromatic ring of the starting amine (1).     

Synthesis of 2-mercaptobenzthiazole derivatives

The reactions of 2, 3-dihydrothiazolo- (I) and 2, 3-dihydrothiazino-1, 3-[2, 3-b]benzthiazolium chlorides (II) with water, aqueous sodium hydroxide, aqueous alcoholic ammonia, and hydrazine hydrate are investigated. Excess alcoholic potassium hydroxide cleaves I and II to o-(-mercaptoalkylamino) thiophenols, condensation of which with acetyl chloride followed by treatment of the reaction products with potassium iodide gives 2-methyl-3-(-mercaptoalkyl)benzthiazolium iodides. A series of dyes is prepared from these compounds.For Part V see [1]     

The diels-alder reaction of 5-aminopyrazole-4-carbonitrile with dmad: Synthesis and structural determination of dimethyl 2-(p-toluenesulfonylamino)-3-cyano-4-imino-1,4-dihydropyridine-5,6-dicarboxylate

The Diels-Alder reaction of 5-amino-1-(p-toluenesulfonyl)pyrazole-4-carbonitrile with dimethyl acetylenedi-carboxylate was carried out in the presence of potassium carbonate in dimethyl sulfoxide. The reaction gave dimethyl 2-(p-toluenesulfonylamino)-3-cyano-4-imino-1,4-dihydropyridine-5,6-dicarboxylate. The product was formed by transformation of the original Diels-Alder adduct followed by rearrangement of the p-toluenesul-fonylamino group into the 2-position of the pyridine ring. The structure of the product was irrefutably established by X-ray crystallography. This reaction is the first example of a pyrazole ring serving as the diene in a [4 + 2] cycloaddition reaction.     

Olefin epoxidation with hydrogen peroxide catalyzed by lacunary polyoxometalate [gamma-SiW10O34H2O2]4-

The tetra-n-butylammonium (TBA) salt of the divacant Keggin-type polyoxometalate [TBA](4)[gamma-SiW(10)O(34)(H(2)O)(2)] (I) catalyzes the oxygen-transfer reactions of olefins, allylic alcohols, and sulfides with 30 % aqueous hydrogen peroxide. The negative Hammett rho(+) (-0.99) for the competitive oxidation of p-substituted styrenes and the low value of (nucleophilic oxidation)/(total oxidation), X(SO)=0.04, for I-catalyzed oxidation of thianthrene 5-oxide (SSO) reveals that a strongly electrophilic oxidant species is formed on I. The preferential formation of trans-epoxide during epoxidation of 3-methyl-1-cyclohexene demonstrates the steric constraints of the active site of I. The I-catalyzed epoxidation proceeds with an induction period that disappears upon treatment of I with hydrogen peroxide. (29)Si and (183)W NMR spectroscopy and CSI mass spectrometry show that reaction of I with excess hydrogen peroxide leads to fast formation of a diperoxo species, [TBA](4)[gamma-SiW(10)O(32)(O(2))(2)] (II), with retention of a gamma-Keggin type structure. Whereas the isolated compound II is inactive for stoichiometric epoxidation of cyclooctene, epoxidation with II does proceed in the presence of hydrogen peroxide. The reaction of II with hydrogen peroxide would form a reactive species (III), and this step corresponds to the induction period observed in the catalytic epoxidation. The steric and electronic characters of III are the same as those for the catalytic epoxidation by I. Kinetic, spectroscopic, and mechanistic investigations show that the present epoxidation proceeds via III.     

1,3‐Bis(ethylamino)‐2‐nitrobenzene, 1,3‐bis(n‐octylamino)‐2‐nitrobenzene and 4‐ethylamino‐2‐methyl‐1H‐benzimidazole

1,3‐Bis(ethylamino)‐2‐nitrobenzene, C₁₀H₁₅N₃O₂, (I), and 1,3‐bis(n‐octylamino)‐2‐nitrobenzene, C₂₂H₃₉N₃O₂, (II), are the first structurally characterized 1,3‐bis(n‐alkylamino)‐2‐nitrobenzenes. Both molecules are bisected though the nitro N atom and the 2‐C and 5‐C atoms of the ring by twofold rotation axes. Both display intramolecular N—H...O hydrogen bonds between the amine and nitro groups, but no intermolecular hydrogen bonding. The nearly planar molecules pack into flat layers ca 3.4 Å apart that interact by hydrophobic interactions involving the n‐alkyl groups rather than by π–π interactions between the rings. The intra‐ and intermolecular interactions in these molecules are of interest in understanding the physical properties of polymers made from them. Upon heating in the presence of anhydrous potassium carbonate in dimethylacetamide, (I) and (II) cyclize with formal loss of hydrogen peroxide to form substituted benzimidazoles. Thus, 4‐ethylamino‐2‐methyl‐1H‐benzimidazole, C₁₀H₁₃N₃, (III), was obtained from (I) under these reaction conditions. Compound (III) contains two independent molecules with no imposed internal symmetry. The molecules are linked into chains via N—H...N hydrogen bonds involving the imidazole rings, while the ethylamino groups do not participate in any hydrogen bonding. This is the first reported structure of a benzimidazole derivative with 4‐amino and 2‐alkyl substituents.     

Reactions of N- and C-Alkenylanilines: IV. Synthesis of Heterocycles by Oxidation of N-Acyl-o-(1-alkenyl)anilines with Hydrogen Peroxide

Heterocyclic compounds of the 4H-3,1-benzoxazine and cyclopenta[b]indole series were syn- thesized by oxydation of N-acyl derivatives of 2-(1-alkenyl)anilines with hydrogen peroxide. The structure of the oxidation products is determined by the reaction conditions, substituent in the ortho-position of the aromatic ring, protecting group, and alkenyl radical structure.     

Synthesis of nitrogen‐containing heterocycles 10. Reaction of 2‐amino‐1h‐imidazole derivatives with ethoxymethylene compounds

The direct annelation reaction of 4‐substituted 2‐amino‐l‐benzylideneamino‐1H‐imidazoles ( 1 ) or 2‐amino‐1‐isopropylideneamino‐1H‐imidazole ( 8 ) with ethoxymethylenemalononitrile ( I ) gave successfully bicyclic imidazo[1,2‐a]pyrimidine compounds 2 and 9 in high yields. The reactions of other ethoxymethylene compounds of lower reactivity, i.e., ethyl ethoxymethylenecyanoacetate ( II ) and diethyl ethoxymethylenemalonate ( III ), with 2‐amino‐1H‐imidazoles under similar conditions afforded the corresponding enamines 3, 4 and 10 , which, upon heating in the presence of an acid or a base, could readily be cyclized to form imidazopyrimidines except for 1‐isopropylideneamino compound 10 . In general, the 3‐phenyl compounds ( 3b and 4b ) did not cyclize to the type 2 compound resulting in a full recovery of the starting enamines.     

4-Substituted-3,4-dihydro-3-methyl-2H-1,3-benzoxazin-2-ones. III (2,3). Solvolytic-reductive transformation of 4-(2-keto)-benzoxazin-2-ones into oxazin-2-ones

A series of 4-(2-keto-substituted)-3,4-dihydro-3-methyl-2H-1,3-benzoxazin-2-ones 1 (Table I) was synthesized by condensation of 3-alkyl-3,4-dihydro-4-hydroxy-2H-1,3-benzoxazin-2-ones 4 with ketones 5 having active alpha hydrogens. In the presence of alcoholic potassium borohydride, compounds 1 underwent reductive transacylation to give 1,3-oxazin-2-one derivatives 3 (Table III, a,b,c). When the other side of the ketone possessed substituents other than hydrogen, there were always also normal reduction products, i.e., secondary alcohols 2 (Table II) in addition to 3.
