The reactions of 6-nitro-2-trifluoromethylchromone with benzylamine, ethanolamine, and aniline afforded 3-benzyl(2-hydroxyethyl,phenyl)amino-4,4,4-trifluoro-1-(2-hydroxy-5-nitrophenyl)but-2-en-1-ones, respectively, whereas the reactions with ethylenediamine and diethylenetriamine gave rise to 5-(2-hydroxy-5-nitrophenyl)-7-trifluoromethyl-2,3-dihydro-1H-1,4-diazepine and 5-(2-hydroxy-5-nitrophenyl)-7-trifluoromethyl-1,4,8-triazabicyclo[5.3.0]dec-4-ene, respectively. Morpholine added at the double bond of 2-trifluoromethyl- and 6-nitro-2-trifluoromethylchromones to form 2-morpholino-2-trifluoromethylchroman-4-one and its 6-nitro-substituted analog, respectively, whereas piperidine reacted only with 2-trifluoromethylchromone to yield 2-piperidino-2-trifluoromethylchroman-4-one.

Nitration of Porphyrin Systems: A Toolbox of Synthetic Methods

This review addresses nitration reactions of porphyrin derivatives. Simple porphyrins modifications afford valuable intermediates in this area of chemistry. They are useful materials for further transformations, as the NO₂ group introduced into parent porphyrin system increases its electrophilic character, thus allowing a broad spectrum of subsequent reactions, e. g. reduction of NO₂ to NH₂, subsequent diazotisation, nucleophilic substitution of hydrogen (in ortho-position to NO₂), a variety of cyclizations, etc. Such reactions are often utilized in the first steps of the designed syntheses, leading to attractive and useful target porphyrin molecules. This approach (via nitro-derivatives) allows synthesizing numerous porphyrin-like compounds of a high degree of complexity, and has thus become one of the methods choice. The substitution by NO₂ group can take place at all positions of the porphyrin systems: four meso-positions (5, 10, 15, 20) and eight positions β (2, 3, 7, 8, 12, 13, 17, 18). The third possibility includes the nitration in meso-aryl rings attached to positions 5, 10, 15, and 20. The latter derivatives (meso-aryl substituted ones) are a large, well-known group of synthetic porphyrins. The nitration reactions described herein follow three various mechanisms: (a) radical, (b) via π-cation radicals and π-dications, and (c) electrophilic. All the above cases are discussed in detail. According to our knowledge, this is the first such systematic account concerning these reactions.     

An Experimentally Established Key Intermediate in Benzene Nitration with Mixed Acid

Experimental evidence is reported for the first intermediate in the classic S_EAr reaction of benzene nitration with mixed acid. The UV/Vis spectroscopic investigation of the reaction showed an intense absorption at 320 nm (appearing as a band shoulder) arising from a reaction intermediate. Our theoretical modeling shows that the interaction between the two principal reactants with solvent (H₂SO₄) molecules significantly affects the structure of the initial complex. In this complex, a larger distance between the aromatic ring and nitronium ion precludes the possibility for electronic charge transfer from the benzene π‐system to the electrophile. The computational modeling of the potential energy surface reveals that the reaction favors a stepwise mechanism with intermediate formation of π‐ and σ‐ (arenium ion) complexes.     

The use of an electrophile carrier to determine the number of intermediates in the chlorination of 1-methylpyrrole

A kinetic and product study of the dichloroacetic acid catalyzed chlorination of 1-methylpyrrole with 3- and 4-substituted N-chlorobenzamides was carried out. Protonated N-chlorobenzamides served as carriers of CI⁺. A Hammett correlation was obtained with ρ=−0.68 (r=0.98, n=8). General acid catalysis was observed with α=0.48 (r=0.99 and n=7). The yields of 2-chlorination (84±0.7%) and 3-chlorination (2.6±0.4%) were essentially constant (constant intramolecular selectivity) as the substituent on the N-chlorobenzamide was varied. Observation of constant intramolecular selectivity indicated that two intermediates were formed during the acid catalyzed chlorination of 1-methylpyrrole with N-chlorobenzamides. The carrier method is applicable to all types of aromatic systems and limited only by the availability of suitable carrier molecules.

2-Polyfluoroalkylchromones. 12. Nitration of 5,7-dimethyl-2-polyhaloalkylchromones and complete assignment of signals in the 1H and 13C NMR spectra of 5,7-dimethyl-2-trifluoromethylchromone and its mono- and dinitro derivatives

The nitration of 5,7-dimethyl-2-polyhaloalkylchromones affords either 5,7-dimethyl-6-nitro- or 5,7-dimethyl-6,8-dinitro-2-polyhaloalkylchromones, depending on the reaction conditions. Signals in the ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectra of the sterically hindered chromones were completely assigned using the 2D NOESY, HETCOR, and COLOC spectra. The influence of nonplanar nitro groups on chemical shifts of carbon atoms was studied. Some spectral peculiarities of the peri-methyl group were revealed. The ¹H-¹H and ¹³C-¹H spin-spin coupling constants, including the extreme six-bond long-range coupling between the protons of the Me(5) group and H(8), were determined.     

One-pot synthesis of 2-trifluoromethylchromones

We report a simple and suitable method for the preparation of useful 2-trifluoromethylchromones in one step, in high yields and avoiding the use of solvents. We were able to detect the intermediate of this reaction. Furthermore a mechanism for the formation of the 7-methoxy-3-trifluoroacetyl-2-trifluoromethylchromone through the unexpected double trifluoroacetylation of 4-methoxy-2-hydroxyacetophenone followed by dehydration is also proposed. All compounds are fully identified and characterized by spectroscopic techniques.

This also occurs in the reactions of 2-(1,1,2,2-tetrafluoroethyl)chromone with ammonia and benzylamine.

PhPOCl2 as a potent catalyst for chlorination reaction of phenols with PCl5

Evidence for the Prerequisite Formation of Phenoxyl Radicals in Radical-Mediated Peptide Tyrosine Nitration In Vacuo

The elementary mechanism of radical-mediated peptide tyrosine nitration, which is a hallmark of post-translational modification of proteins under nitrative stress in vivo, has been elucidated in detail by using an integrated approach that combines the gas-phase synthesis of prototypical molecular tyrosine-containing peptide radical cations, ion–molecule reactions, and isotopic labeling experiments with DFT calculations. This reaction first involves the radical recombination of ^.NO₂ towards the prerequisite phenoxyl radical tautomer of a tyrosine residue, followed by proton rearrangements, finally yielding the stable and regioselective 3-nitrotyrosyl residue product. In contrast, nitration with the π-phenolic radical cation tautomer is inefficient. This first direct experimental evidence for the elementary steps of the radical-mediated tyrosine nitration mechanism in the gas phase provides a fundamental insight into the regioselectivity of biological tyrosine ortho-nitration.

Nitration Reaction Catalyzed by Horseradish Peroxidase in the Presence of H2O2 and NaNO2

The enzymatic nitration of phenol and m-cresol catalyzed by horseradish peroxidase was studied in the presence of H2O2 and NaNO2. The results showed that the nitration products of phenol were 2-nitro and 4-nitrophenols. There was also a small amount of by-products of hydroquinone and catechol. The influences of various reaction parameters, including pH, organic solvent type, and concentrations of NaNO2 and H2O2, on the nitration products were investigated. The yields of 4-nitrophenol and 2-nitrophenol were 14% and 12%, respectively. The nitration products of m-cresol were 4-nitro-m-cresol and 6-nitro-m-cresol, and the yields of 4-nitro-m-cresol and 6-nitro-m-cresol were 19% and 30%, respectively.
