Synthesis of 3-acylamino-2-oxazolidinone derivatives through cyclic transformations of 5-aryl (or benzyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2(3H)-one derivatives

New 3-acylamino-2-oxazolidinone derivatives 3 were obtained in good yields by reaction of 5-aryl (or benzyl)3-(2-hydroxyethyl)1,3,4-oxadiazol-2(3H)ones 1 with sodium ethylate. Treatment of ethyl 5-aryl-2-oxo-1,3,4-oxadiazole-3(2H)-acetates 7 with aromatic aldehydes in the presence of sodium ethylate or sodium hydride afforded 3-acylamino-5-aryl-4-ethoxycarbonyl-2-oxazolidinone derivatives as two trans- 5 and cis- 6 racemics. Only RS,SR-racemates were obtained with acetophenone under the same conditions.     

Regioselective alkynylation of 2-aryl-4-chloro-3-iodoquinolines and subsequent arylation or amination of the 2-aryl-3-(alkynyl)-4-chloroquinolines

Palladium-CuI catalyzed Sonogashira coupling of 2-aryl-4-chloro-3-iodoquinolines with terminal acetylenes (1 equiv) in triethylamine afforded the 2-aryl-3-(alkynyl)-4-chloroquinolines as sole products. The 2-aryl-4-chloro-3-iodoquinolines coupled with excess terminal acetylenes (2.5 equiv) in dioxane/water to yield the 2-aryl-3,4-bis(alkynyl)quinoline derivatives in a one-pot operation. The 2-aryl-3-(alkynyl)-4-chloroquinolines were, in turn, subjected to arylation via Suzuki cross-coupling with arylboronic acid derivatives or amination with methylamine, respectively. The structures of the products of successive Sonogashira and Suzuki cross-couplings were also confirmed by X-ray crystallography.     

Quaternary ammonium bromide functionalized polyethylene glycol: a highly efficient and recyclable catalyst for selective synthesis of 5-aryl-2-oxazolidinones from carbon dioxide and aziridines under solvent-free conditions

A quaternary ammonium bromide covalently bound to polyethylene glycol (PEG, MW = 6000), i.e., PEG(6000-)(NBu(3)Br)2, was found to be an efficient and recyclable catalyst for the cycloaddition reaction of aziridines to CO(2) under mild conditions without utilization of additional organic solvents or cocatalysts. As a result, 5-aryl-2-oxazolidinone was obtained in high yield with excellent regioselectivity. The catalyst worked well for a wide variety of 1-alkyl-2-arylaziridines. Besides, the catalyst could be recovered by centrifugation and reused without significant loss of catalytic activity and selectivity.     

Eine neue 2-Allylphenol-Cumaran-Umlagerung

2-(1′-Arylallyl)-phenols ( 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 , 16 ) are transformed on heating in N, N-diethylaniline at 225° into trans-2-aryl-3-methyl-coumarans ( 26 , 29 , 32 , 34 , 36 , 38 , 40 , 42 ) in excellent yields. The corresponding cis-coumarans are minor products. Similar thermal behaviour is shown by 2-(1′-vinylallyl)-phenols ( 7 , 8 ) which are thermally converted into trans-3-methyl-2-vinyl-coumarans ( 24 , 19 ) and 5-methyl-2,5-dihydro-(1-benzoxepins) ( 25 , 18 ). The latter compounds are thermally unstable and rearrange to give approximatively 3:1 mixtures of trans- and cis-3-methyl-2-vinyl-coumarans ( 24 , 19 ). Reaction mechanisms for these new thermal rearrangements are discussed in schemes 2, 3 and 4. The 2-(1′-arylallyl)-phenols 9 , 12 and 14 yield under acidic conditions (HBr/HOAc) the expected 3-aryl-2-methyl-coumarans 28 , 35 , 39 along with 2-aryl-3-methyl-coumarans 26 , 34 , 38 and 2-aryl-2-methyl-coumarans 44 , 45 , 46 . The intervention of phenonium ions is discussed for these reactions (cf. scheme 5). When the 2-(1′-arylallyl)-phenols 12 and 14 were irradiated in benzene solution with a mercury high pressure lamp, the main products obtained were 3-aryl-2-methyl-coumarans 35 and 39 which were formed rapidly. 2-Aryl-3-methyl-coumarans yield also 3-aryl-2-methyl-coumarans, when irradiated in benzene solution.     

Synthesis of 2-chloro-2-imidoylaziridines via aza-Darzens-type reaction of 3,3-dichloro-1-azaallylic anions and N-(arylsulfonyl)imines

3,3-Dichloro-1-azaallylic anions, generated by deprotonation of alpha,alpha-dichloroketimines 10 with lithium diisopropylamide, reacted with N-sulfonylaldimines 7 to produce the Mannich-type products N-[2,2-dichloro-3-(N-alkylimino)-1,3-diarylpropyl]benzenesulfonamides 11. The latter stable compounds were hydrolyzed at the imino functionality to afford N-[2,2-dichloro-3-oxo-1,3-diarylpropyl]benzenesulfonamides 12 in excellent yields. N-[2,2-Dichloro-3-(N-alkylimino)-1,3-diarylpropyl]benzenesulfonamides 11 were cyclized to cis-3-aryl-2-chloro-2-imidoylaziridines 19 in 81-99% yield with high diastereoselectivity, representing a novel and readily available class of stable 2-chloroaziridines. Finally, a highly stereoselective entry to 2-(aminomethyl)-2-chloroaziridines 27 (70-98% yield; de > 95-99) was worked out from the reaction of cis-3-aryl-2-chloro-2-imidoylaziridines 19 and sodium cyanoborohydride in the presence of acetic acid. The latter 2-(aminomethyl)aziridines 27 represent stereochemically defined small azaheterocyclic rings which were scarcely reported in the literature.     

Studies on the reduction of the nitro group in 3-aryl-2-methylene-4-nitro-alkanoates afforded by the Baylis-Hillman adducts: synthesis of 4-aryl-3-methylene-2-pyrrolidinones and 3-(1-alkoxycarbonyl-vinyl)-1H-indole-2-carboxylates

The formation of substituted 2-pyrrolidinones and indoles by the reduction of the secondary nitro group in appropriate 3-aryl-2-methylene-4-nitroalkanoates afforded by Baylis-Hillman chemistry via different reducing agents is described. The 3-aryl-2-methylene-4-nitroalkanoate obtained from S_N2 nucleophilic reaction between the acetate of Baylis-Hillman adducts and ethyl nitroacetate upon reduction with indium-HCl furnishes a mixture of cis and trans substituted phenyl-3-methylene-2-pyrrolidinones. In contrast, similar reductions of analogous substrates derived from nitroethane stereoselectively furnished only the trans substituted phenyl-3-methylene-2-pyrrolidinones. On the other hand the SnCl₂·2H₂O-promoted reductions of substrates derived from nitro ethylacetate give oxime derivatives while the ones obtained from nitroethane yield a mixture of cis and trans 4-aryl-3-methylene-2-pyrrolidinones. Alternatively, the SnCl₂·2H₂O-promoted reduction of substituted 2-nitrophenyl-2-methylene-alkanoate furnished from ethyl nitroacetate yield 3-(1-alkoxycarbonyl-vinyl)-1H-indole-2-carboxylate while indium-promoted reaction of this substrate leads to a complex mixture. Analogous reactions with SnCl₂·2H₂O of substituted 2-nitrophenyl-2-methylene-alkanoate obtained from nitroethane yield 4-alkyl-3-methylene-2-quinolones in moderate yields.     

Alkylation of aromatic hydrocarbons with 2-bromo-2-phenyl-gem-dichlorocyclopropane

The alkylation of aromatic hydrocarbons with 2-bromo-2-phenyl-gem-dichlorocyclopropane in the presence of catalytic quantities of aluminum chloride was found to afford the corresponding 2-aryl-3-phenyl-1,1-dichloroprop-1-enes. It was shown that the yield of the alkylation products depended on the nature of substituents in the aromatic ring. Compared with the thermal heating, microwave irradiation allows reducing the reaction time and increasing the yield of the corresponding 2-aryl-3-phenyl-1,1-di-chloroprop-1-enes, wherein the ortho-/para-isomers ratio changes.     

Study of the addition of Grignard reagents to 2-aryl-3H-indol-3-ones

Grignard reagents are added to the carbonyl group of 2-aryl-3H-indol-3-ones to generate 3-alkyl(or phenyl)-2-aryl-3H-indol-3-ols, which are in turn rearranged to yield 2-alkyl(or phenyl)-2-aryl-1,2-dihydro-3H-indol-3-ones.     

Oxidation of 2-cyanoprop-2-enethioamides with hydrogen peroxide

Oxidation of (E)-3-aryl-2-cyanoprop-2-enethioamides with 32% H₂O₂ under mild conditions gave (E)-3-aryl-2-cyano-1-iminioprop-2-ene-1-sulfenates in 70–88% yields. Under the conditions of the Radziszewski reaction (H₂O₂, 10% aqueous KOH) or upon prolonged treatment with H₂O₂, (E)-3-aryl-2-cyanoprop-2-enethioamides underwent transformations leading to complex mixtures of oxidation products. In some cases, 3-aryloxirane-2,2-dicarboxamides were isolated from those mixtures in low yields (<20%). Treatment of 3-arylamino-2-cyanoprop-2-enethioamides with the system H₂O₂/KOH in ethanol afforded (arylaminomethylidene)malononitriles.     

Studies on tertiary amine oxides. LXVII . Reactions of aromatic N-oxides with 3-arylrhodanines in the presence of acetic anhydride

Quinoline 1-oxides 1 readily react with 3-arylrhodanines 2 in the presence of acetic anhydride to afford 3-aryl-5-(2-quinolyl)rhodanines 3 in high yields. These products resist hydrolysis under both alkaline and acidic conditions, but is oxidized to quinaldinic acid 1-oxide 4 with 30% hydrogen peroxide in hot acetic acid. Besides isoquinoline 2-oxide 5 , pyridine 1-oxide 7a also reacts in the same way to give 3-aryl-5-(2-pyridyl)rhodanines 8 , although the reactivity of γ-picoline 1-oxide 7b is considerably lower. Contrary to 3 , 3-phenyl-5-(2-pyridyl)rhodanine 8a is successfully hydrolyzed with boiling 48% hydrobromic acid to 2-pyridinemethanethiol 10 in 57% yield.

Synthesis of 4-Aryl-3-(2-chromonyl)-2-pyrazolines by the 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of 2-styrylchromones with diazomethane

The first reported 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of 2-styrylchromones with diazomethane afforded 4-aryl-3-(2-chromonyl)-2-pyrazolines. However, 3-aryl-4-(2-chromonyl)-1-pyrazolines have been also found as minor products of this reaction. These two series of pyrazolines have been fully characterized.     

Efficient synthesis of 6-aryl-4-trifluoromethyl/ethoxycarbonyl-2H-pyran-2-ones through self-condensation of penta-2,4-dienenitriles

An efficient synthesis of two new series of 6-aryl-4-trifluoromethyl-2H-pyran-2-ones and 6-aryl-4-carboxyethyl-2H-pyran-2-ones, obtained through the self-condensation reaction of 5-aryl-5-methoxy-3-(trifluoromethyl)penta-2,4-dienenitriles 3 and ethyl 4-aryl-2-(cyanomethylene)-4-methoxybut-3-enoates 4 respectively, is reported. The self-condensation reaction of the enoates 4 was performed in water in the presence of hydrochloric acid whereas the self-condensation reaction of the penta-2,4-dienenitriles 3 required the use of zinc bromide and hydrochloric acid in order to give the respective 2H-pyran-2-ones. Products were obtained up to 97% yield.     

Reformatsky Reaction of Methyl α-Bromoisobutyrate with 2-Arylmethylidenemalonic Acid Derivatives

Reformatsky reagent obtained by treatment of methyl α-bromoisobutyrate with zinc reacts with dimethyl 2-arylmethylidenemalonates to give trimethyl 2-aryl-3-methylbutane-1,1,3-tricarboxylates. The reaction of the same compound with ethyl 3-aryl-2-(4-methylphenylcarbamoyl)acrylates yields cyclic products, ethyl 4-aryl-5,5-dimethyl-1-(4-methylphenyl)-2,6-dioxopiperidine-3-carboxylates. Treatment of the latter with morpholine and phenylhydrazine leads to the corresponding 4-aryl-5,5-dimethyl-1-(4-methylphenyl)-2,6-dioxopiperidine-3-carboxylic acid morpholides and phenylhydrazides. The products are formed as a single diastereoisomer.__________Translated from Zhurnal Organicheskoi Khimii, Vol. 41, No. 7, 2005, pp. 1034–1038.Original Russian Text Copyright © 2005 by Shchepin, Fotin.

The aroylhydrazones of ethyl benzoate have been prepared in fair yield by the action of aroylhydrazines on ethyl benzimidate hydrochloride. These products give rise, quantitatively, at their melting point, to 5-aryl-2-phenyl-1,3,4-oxadiazoles, and, in the presence of hydrazine hydrate, in boiling 1-propanol to 4-amino-5-aryl-3-phenyl(4H)-1,2,4-triazoles (Yields 50%). The addition of methylmagnesium iodide to these products give aroylhydrazones of acetophenone.

Rearrangement in the series of 3-(2-aryl-2-oxoethyl)-3,4-dihydroquinoxalin-2(1H)-ones

4-Acetyl- and 4-succinyl-3-(2-aryl-2-oxoethyl)-3,4-dihydroquinoxalin-2(1H)-ones undergo the rearrangement into (Z)-2-(3-arylquinoxalin-2-ylidene)acetic acids accompanied by the elimination of the acyl groups. The nitration of 3-(2-oxo-2-phenylethyl)-3,4-dihydro-quinoxalin-2(1H)-one affords 5-nitro- and 7-nitro-2-carboxymethylidenequinoxalines. The bromination of quinoxalin-2-ones in AcOH gives 3-aryl-2-carboxymethylidenequinoxalines and the corresponding 7-bromo derivatives, with the former products predominating.
