Rearrangements of 1-(1-methylprop-1-en-1-yl)-1,2-dimethylacenaphtyylenonium ions

It was discovered by means of dynamic NMR that the 1-(cis-1-methylprop-1-en-1-yl)-1,2-dimethylacenaphthylenonium ion generated under conditions of “long life” for carbocations underwent fast (ΔG^#35.8 kJ mol^?1 at ?103°C) degenerate 1,2-shift of the cis-dimethylvinyl group. Quantum-chemical calculations by DFT method predict lower rate of 1,2-shift for the trans-dimethylvinyl group compared to cis-dimethylvinyl group and dependence on the cations conformation of the rates of these processes and of the rearrangement mechanism into the ions of phenalenyl type.     

Synthesis,characterization and antioxidant,antibacterial activity Zn2+, Cu2+, Ni2+ and Co2+, complexes of ligand [2-(thiophen-2-yl)-1-(thiophen-2-ylmethyl)-1H-benzo[d]imidazole]

New metal complexes of (Zn(II), Co(II), Ni(II) and Cu(II)) based on the ligand 2-(thiophen-2-yl)-1-(thiophen-2-ylmethyl)-1H-benzo[d]imidazole] were synthesized, whose structures were determined with the different spectroscopic techniques ¹H NMR,¹³C NMR, FT-IR, UV–Visible and by mass spectrometry.

Novel pyrrolo[1,2-a][3.1.6]benzothiadiazocine ring synthesis. Unusual Truce-Smiles type rearrangement of 1-{[1-(2-nitrophenyl)-1H-pyrrol-2-yl]sulfonyl(or sulfinyl)}acetone

Reaction of 1-{[1-(2-nitrophenyl)-1H-pyrrol-2-yl]sulfonyl}acetone with sodium hydroxide with or without zinc gave 1-(2-nitrophenyl)(1H-pyrrol-2-ylsulfonyl)methane by a Truce-Smiles type of transformation and 1-(2-nitrophenyl)-2-methylsulfonylpyrrole by deacetylation. Similar treatment of 1-{[1-(2-nitrophenyl)-1H-pyrrol-2-yl]sulfinyl}acetone gave only 1-(2-nitro-phenyl)(1H-pyrrol-2-ylsulfinyl)methane. 1-{[1-(2-Nitrophenyl)-1H-pyrrol-2-yl]sulfanyl}acetone, 2-{[1-(2-nitrophenyl)-1H-pyrrol-2-yl]sulfanyl}-1-phenyl-ethan-1-one or 2-{[1-(2-nitrophenyl)-1H-pyrrol-2-yl]sulfanyl}acetonitrile were reductively cyclised with sodium borohydride and 5% palladium-on-carbon into 6-methyl(or phenyl)-5,6-dihydro-7H-pyrrolo[1,2-a][3.1.6]benzothiadiazocin-7-ol or 6-amino-5H-pyrrolo[1,2-a][3.1.6]benzothiadiazocine-7-oxide, respectively.

Degenerate rearrangement of 9-isopropenyl-9,10-dimethyl-phenanthren-9-yl and 9,10-dimethyl-9-(trans-1-methylprop-1-en-1-yl)phenanthren-9-yl cations

¹H NMR study has shown that long-lived 9-R-9,10-dimethylphenanthren-9-yl cations (R = isopropenyl, trans-1-methylprop-1-en-1-yl) generated in the system HSO₃F-SO₂ClF-CD₂Cl₂ at ?130°C undergo degenerate rearrangement via 1,2-vinyl shifts (ΔG’ = 37 and 39 kJ/mol, respectively, at ?88°C). Analysis of the geometric parameters of the initial structures and transition states calculated by the DFT method indicates that unfavorable steric factors are responsible for the sharp deceleration of 1,2-shifts of the isopropenyl and trans-1-methylprop-1-en-1-yl groups as compared to vinyl and cis-1-methylprop-1-en-1-yl groups, respectively.

The present investigation describe the synthesis of 8-(benzyloxy)-5-(2-[1,3-diphenyl-1H-pyrazol-4-yl]thiazol-4-yl)quinolin-2(1H)-one derivatives. Quinolin-8-ol was transformed by five step synthetic procedures into 8-Benzyloxy-5-(2-bromo-acetyl)-1H-quinolin-2-one.

Synthesis and Characterization of Novel Chiral (1R,2R)-1,2-Bis[5-(Aminomethylphospinic Acid)-1,3,4-Thiadiazol-2-YL]Ethane-1,2-Diols

Abstract

(1R,2R)-1,2-bis[5-(arylideneamino)-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-yl]ethane-1,2-diol (2a–d) were synthesized by using appropriate aldehydes and (1R,2R)-1,2-bis(5-amino-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-yl)ethane-1,2-diol (1) as a starting compound. Then, the phosphinic acid component (3a–d) were obtained from (2a–d) and hypophosporus acid. In addition, the structures of the novel chiral compounds (2a–d) and (3a–d) were confirmed by elemental analyses, IR, ¹H-NMR, ¹³C-NMR, and ³¹P-NMR spectra.

¹H NMR and ¹³C NMR spectra for 1, 2a, and 3a (Figures S1–S6) are available online in the Supplemental Materials.     

One-pot synthesis of polycyclic heterocyclic compounds by condensation of 1-carbamoylmethyl-2,3,3-trimethyl-3H-indolium salts with pyridine-2, 3, and 4- and quinoline-4-carboxaldehydes

A one-pot synthesis of new polycyclic heterocyclic compounds was carried out via the condensation of 1-carbamoylmethyl-2,3,3-trimethyl-3H-indolium chloride with pyridine- and quinolinecarboxaldehydes. The heating of the aforementioned 3H-indolium salts with 1 eq. of pyridine-2, 3, and 4- or quinoline-4-carboxaldehyde in ethanol in the presence of piperidine as a catalyst provided 9a-[2-(pyridyl)ethenyl]- or 9a-[2-(quinolyl)ethenyl]-9,9a-dihydro-1H-imidazo[1,2-a]indol-2(3H)-one derivatives as the main products. However, reaction outcome was dramatically different for the analogous reactions in acetic acid. In this case, the heating of the chloride with 2 eq. of pyridine-2-carboxaldehyde afforded derivatives of 9a-[3-(pyridin-2-yl)indolizin-2-yl]-9,9a-dihydro-1H-imidazo[1,2-a]indol-2(3H)-one as the major product, while the use of 2 eq. of pyridine-3 and 4- or quinoline-4-carboxaldehyde led to the formation 2-heteroaryl-1-heteroarylmethyl-9H-pyrrolo[1,2-a]indole-3-carboxamides. Plausible pathways for the cyclization reactions are discussed. The structural assignments were based on ¹H, ¹³C and ¹⁵N NMR spectroscopy, HRMS and single-crystal X-ray diffraction data.     

Synthesis and structure determination of diastereoisomeric (1R,2R,6S)-6-(3-{[(1RS)-1-(1-adamantyl)ethyl]amino}prop-1-en-2-yl)-3-methylcyclohex-3-ene-1,2-diols

Epimeric (1R,2R,6S)-3-methyl-6-(prop-1-en-2-yl)cyclohex-3-ene-1,2-diol derivatives containing a rimantadine residue have been synthesized, and their steric structure has been determined using NOESY technique and DFT quantum chemical calculations.     

Spectroscopic study of 2-, 4- and 5-substituents on pKa values of imidazole heterocycles prone to intramolecular proton-electrons transfer

New 2-(1H-imidazol-2-yl)phenols (L1Et–L8tBuPt) bearing a phenolic proton in the vicinity of the imidazole base were prepared and characterized. Experimental studies of the dependence of their protonation/deprotonation equilibrium on substituent identities and intramolecular hydrogen bonding tendencies were carried out using electronic absorption spectroscopy at varying pH values. In order to make comparison, 2-(anthracen-10-yl)-4,5-diphenyl-1H-imidazole (L9Anthr) bearing no phenolic proton and 4,5-diphenyl-2-(4,5-diphenyl-1H-imidazol-2-yl)-1H-imidazole (L10BisIm) bearing two symmetrical imidazole base fragments were also prepared and experimentally investigated. DFT calculations were carried out to study frontier orbitals of the investigated molecules. While electron-releasing substituents produced increase in protonation–deprotonation pK_as for the hydroxyl group, values for the imidazole base were mainly affected by polarization of the imidazole ring aromaticity across the 2-imidazole carbon and the 4,5-imidazole carbons axis of the imidazole ring. It was concluded that electron-releasing substituents on the phenol ring and/or electron-withdrawing substituents on 4,5-imidazole carbons negatively affects donor strengths/coordination chemistries of 2-(1H-imidazol-2-yl)phenols, and vice versa. Change of substituents on the phenol ring significantly altered the donor strength of the imidazole base. The understanding of pK_a variation on account of electronic effects of substituents in this work should aid the understanding of biochemical properties and substituent environments of imidazole-containing biomacromolecules.

The relative configuration of (R^∗,R^∗,S^∗)- and (S^∗,R^∗,S^∗)-2-1H-indol-3-yl(phenyl)methyl]-2,3-dihydro-1H-inden-1-ols was established by ¹H NMR studies.     

Unusual result of the reaction of 4-(1-methyl-1H-imidazol-2-yl)methylene-substituted 2-alkylthioimidazol-5(4H)-one with copper(ii) chloride

A reaction of potassium ({(4Z)-4-[(1-methyl-1H-imidazol-2-yl)methylene]-5-oxo-1-phenyl-4,5-dihydro-1H-imidazol-2-yl}thio)acetate with copper(II) chloride in methanol leads to bis(5-anilino-7-methoxycarbonyl-1-methyl-1H-imidazo[1,2-c]pyrimidin-4-ium) tetrachloro-cuprate(II), whose structure was confirmed by the X-ray diffraction studies.     

2-(2-thienyl)-6-methyl-6<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>-imidazo[4,5-<Emphasis Type="Italic">g</Emphasis>][1,3]benzothiazole: Synthesis and some transformations

Oxidation of N-(1-methylbenzimidazol-5-yl)thiophene-2-carbothioamide with potassium ferricyanide in an alkaline medium by Jacobson’s method afforded 2-(thien-2-yl)-6-methyl-6H-imidazo[4,5-g][1,3]benzothiazole. The latter enters into the electrophilic substitution reaction (nitration, bromination, formylation, acylation) exclusively at the position 5 of the thiophene ring. Characteristic reactions of nucleophilic substitution occurred at the imidazole ring. Quaternization with methyl iodide in benzene furnished the corresponding quaternary salt, whereas the Chichibabin amination with an excess of sodium amide in xylene gave negative result.
