Theoretical study of 2-oxazolidinone analogues of pilocarpine and its dimethylated derivative pilocarpidine

The aim of the present work was to investigate the geometries, relative stabilities and electronic charge distributions of the different conformers of the 2-oxazolidinone analogues of pilocarpine and its dimethylated derivative pilocarpidine. Calculations were performed at three levels. The most important differences occurred in 3-ethyl-4-(5-imidazolyl)-methyl-2-oxazolidinone.

Oxidative alkylamination of 2-methyl-3(2H)-cinnolinone: unexpected dealkylation of the entering alkylamino group

The oxidative alkylamination of 2-methyl-3(2H)-cinnolinone by secondary alkylamines in the presence of KMnO₄ leads to the smooth formation of the expected 4-alkylamino-2-methyl-3(2H)-cinnolinones. The analogous reaction with primary alkylamines is accompanied by the partial or complete N-dealkylation of the entering alkylamino group depending on the temperature. *Dedicated with gratitude to an outstanding heterocyclic chemist, Prof. Henk van der Plas on the occasion of his eightieth jubilee.

Synthesis and reactions of 1-(4-chloro-, 3-chloro-, 2-chloro-, 2,4-dichloro-, and 2,4-difluorophenyl)-6,6-dimethyl-4-oxo-4,5,6,7-tetrahydroindazoles

Reaction of the potassium salt of 2-formyldimedone with hydrochlorides of 4-chloro-, 3-chloro-, 2-chloro-, 2,4-dichloro-, and 2,4-difluorophenylhydrazines gave the corresponding 2-arylhydrazinomethylene-dimedones which cyclized in acid media to 1-substituted 6,6-dimethyl-4-oxo-4,5,6,7-tetrahydroindazoles. Oxidation of the latter with selenious acid gave the corresponding 4,5-dioxo-4,5,6,7-tetrahydroindazoles which were further converted into 3-aryl-5,5-dimethyl-4,5-dihydro-3H-pyrazolo[4,3-a]phenazines and 2,6-diaryl-4,4-dimethyl-4,5-dihydro-1H(3H)-indazolo[4,5-g]imidazoles.Riga Technical University, Riga LV-1658, Latvia; e-mail: marina@osi.lv.

Synthesis of 4-Hydroxy- and 4-Amino-2-Methyl-3-(2-Methylindol-3-Yl)methylquinolines and Their 6- and 8-Substituted Derivatives

A method has been developed for the synthesis of substituted 4-hydroxy- and 4-amino-2-methyl-3-(2-methylindol-3-yl)methylquinolines by treating the corresponding 4-hydroxy(chloro)-2-methyl-3-(3-oxobutyl)quinolines with phenylhydrazine hydrochloride.

OLEFIN SYNTHESIS USING LITHIUM DERIVATIVES OF N,N,N',N'-TETRAMETHYLDIAMIDES OF ARYLMETHANEPHOSPHONIC ACIDS

Abstract

The reaction of lithium derivatives of N,N,N',N'-tetramethyldiamides of arylmethanephosphonic acids (1-Li) with aldehydes 2 is studied. It is found that under certain reaction conditions (THF, 5 hrs at -70°C and then allowing to warm to room temperature) the aldol stage of the reaction is highly stereoselective, only erythro adducts (2-hydroxyphosphonamides) 3, 4 being formed in 47–75% yields. By heating of 3 and 4 in neutral medium the corresponding (Z)-olefins 5, 6 are obtained (yields 64–74%). It is established that an acid catalyzed olefination of 2-hydroxyphosphonamides is also possible, but the reaction is not stereospecific.

Hel photoelectron spectroscopic (PES) and quantum chemistry study on the dimeric compound of 2(5H) furanone

The HeI photoelectron (PE) spectra of both 2(5H) furanone and its trans-chair-dimenc-compound (t-c-DFN) are reported.The assignment of the PES bands is made on the basis of band shapes,the PES results of the molecules which have the similar atomic groups,and the restricted Hartree-Fock (RHF) calculations for the molecules studied.From the results of both PES experimental and theoretical calculations,it is proved that the ionization potential (IPs) of the HOMO for the dimenc-compound is lower than that of the HOMO for the monomer.And the total energy computed for the t-c-DFN is the lowest in the four possible configurations of dimeric-compounds of 2(5H) furanone Therefore the synthesis of t-c-DFN is also the easiest.
