Nitrogen Bridgehead Compounds. Part 81. Synthesis of 9-(benzylidenehydrazono)-6-methyl-4-oxo-6,7,8,9-tetrahydro- and 9-(benzylidenehydrazine)-6-methyl-4-oxo-6,7-dihydro-4H-pyrido[1,2-a]-pyrimidine-3-carboxylates

Reaction of ethyl 9-hydrazono-6-methyl-4-oxo-6,7,8,9-tetrahydro-4H-pyrido[1,2-a]pyrimidine-3-carboxylate and benzaldehyde and its derivatives give a tautomeric mixture of 9-arylidenehydrazono-6,7,8,9-tetrahydro- and 9-arylidenehydrazine-6,7-dihydropyrido[1,2-a]pyrimidine derivatives. In the same case the enhydrazine and hydrazone tautomers were separated. The structure of the products were characterised by uv, ir, ¹H and ¹³C nmr. The equilibrium of the tautomers was affected by the substituent of the phenyl ring. A fair linear correlation exists between the logarithms of the equilibrium constants and Hammett σ_m and σ^? constants of the substituents present on the phenyl ring.     

New synthetic strategy for Friedlander condensation of 4-amino-2-oxo-2H-chromene-3-carbaldehyde by heterogeneous catalysis

Chromenopyridines are an important class of compound because of their diverse biological activities. In the present work, we have developed convenient route for the synthesis of chromeno[4,3-b] pyridine derivatives ( 3a – e , 5a – e , and 7a – d ) by Friedlander condensation of 4-amino-2-oxo-2H-chromene-3-carbaldehyde with various active methylene compounds. We have used mixed metal oxide catalyst such as nanomaterial Zinc titanate. The reaction was carried out for various solvent systems, also we have altered the concentration of the catalyst. The 2-propanol/water solvent system and 5 mol% catalyst concentration are best as far as yield and rate of reaction are concerned. The structures of the synthesized compounds were confirmed by ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, mass spectra, and elemental analysis.     

Nitrogen bridgehead compounds. Part 80 unusual reaction of ethyl 9-bromo-4-oxo-6,7,8,9-tetr ahydro-4h-pyrido[1,2-a]pyrimidine-3-carboxylates and N-Methylaniline

The acid-catalysed intramolecular nucleophilic addition of the phenyl ring to the C(9a) = N(1) double bond of ethyl 9-(N-methyl-N-phenyl)-4-oxotetrahydro-4H-pyrido[1,2-a]pyrimidine-3-carboxylates, formed in the reactions of ethyl 9-bromo-4-oxo-6,7,8,9-tetrahydro-4H-pyrido[1,2-a]pyrimidine-3-carboxylates and N-methylaniline, gave the first examples of a new tetracyclic pyrimido[1′,2′:1,2]pyrido[3,2-b]indole ring system ( 7 ). X-ray diffraction analysis of 7a revealed that the annelation of the pyrimidine and piperidine rings is transoid, while that of the piperidine and pyrroline rings is cis, the piperidine ring adopts an unusual ⁶T₈ twisted boat conformation, while the pyrroline ring has a ⁹T_8a conformation.     

Synthesis and Characterization of New Thiazolidin-4-one Derivatives

The synthesis of some new functionalized thiazolidin-4-one derivatives has been described. The N-substituted-thiosemicarbazides 3a-3i were obtained though the reaction of alkylamines 2a–2i , carbon disulfide, and hydrazine hydrate. The condensation reaction between 3a–3i and 4-amino-2-methanesulfanylpyrimidine-5-carboxaldehyde 1 afforded the thiosemicarbazones 4a–4i . The corresponding thiazolidin-4-ones 5a–5i were prepared by cyclization of 4a–4i with ethyl bromoacetate. The structures of the final products were confirmed by IR, ¹ H NMR, ¹³ C NMR, and HRMS.     

Manganese(III) Acetate Catalyzed Oxidative Radical Additions of α‐Dicarbonyl Compounds to 1‐ and 2‐Phenylcyclohepta‐1,3,5‐triene

Manganese(III) acetate catalyzed oxidative radical‐addition reactions of α‐dicarbonyl compounds such as methyl acetoacetate ( 6 ), acetylacetone ( 7 ), and dimedone ( 8 ) to the mixture of 1‐ and 2‐phenylcyclohepta‐1,3,5‐triene ( 4 and 5 ) were investigated (Scheme 1). The 1‐phenylcyclohepta‐1,3,5‐triene ( 4 ) formed mainly [2+3] and [4+3] dihydrofuran addition products derived from cycloheptatriene and [2+3] dihydrofuran addition products derived from the norcaradiene structure. The 2‐phenylcyclohepta‐1,3,5‐triene ( 5 ) formed mainly [6+3] dihydrofuran addition products derived from cycloheptatriene and [4+3] dihydrofuran addition products derived from the norcaradiene structure. The structures of isolated products were established by their spectroscopic data (IR, ¹H‐ and ¹³C‐NMR, MS, and elemental analysis) and comparison with literature data. The formation mechanism of the products is discussed.     

Triaziridine. 4. Mitteilung. Synthese von cis-2,3-Diisopropyltriaziridin-1-carbonsäureestern

Triaziridines. Synthesis of cis-2,3-Diisopropyltriaziridine-1-carboxylic Esters Irradiation of the (Z)-azimines 1a , b in Et₂O with a Hg high pressure lamp through Corex yielded (besides 30% of the previously described trans-triaziridines 3a , b ) 15% of the new cis-triaziridines 4a , b . The same irradiation of the (E)-azimines 2a , b afforded only 15–18% of 3a , b but 20–23% of 4a , b . Thus, these azimine photocyclizations show some stereospecificity. The triaziridines 3a , b and 4a , b formed in this way were always accompanied by the same three types of by-products, namely 10–15% of the ‘triazones’ 5a , b , 11–20% of the carbamic esters 6a , b , and 5–10% of the ether/nitrene insertion products 7a , b . The constitution and configuration of the new cis-triaziridines 4 followed from their spectral properties. Of particular interest are the symmetry properties of 4 derived from the ¹H-, ¹³C-, and ¹⁵N-NMR spectra: The stereoisomers 3 and 4 differ only in that the isochronicity of the two constitutionally equivalent molecular halves is temperature dependent in 3 but independent in 4 . Both triaziridines 3 and 4 exhibit the IR CO band at (for carbamates) remarkably high frequency. The results confirm that the alkyl-substituted N-atoms of triaziridines are pyramidally stable, that the corresponding acyl-substituted N-atoms (N(1)) are also pyramidal, but can invert more readily, and that rotation around the N(1), C(?O) bond is rapid. Thus, there can be only little amide-type delocalization between a triaziridine N-atom and an acyl substituent of the carbamate type attached to it.     

Farbstoffsensibilisierte Photo-Oxygenierung von(−)-cis-Pulegol und (+)-Pulegon. Zur Addition von O2(1Δg) an Doppelbindungen mit allylständiger. Hydroxyl- oder Carbonyl-Gruppe

(?)-cis-Pulegol ( 1 ) and (+)-pulegone ( 2 ) readily add one mole of oxygen on dyesensitized photo-oxygenation in solution, forming almost exclusively allyl hydroperoxides. The product distributions and structures of the peroxides ( B–E ) have been derived from analysis of their reduction products. Compound 1 yielded only the diols 4, 5 and 6 , besides the epoxyketones 7 and 8 formed directly from the hydroperoxide C (proportions of 4–8 , ～21:56:13:4:6), while 2 gave the keto-alcohols 9,10 and 11 (～80:6:14) as the sole products. The course of addition of O₂(¹Δ_g) on 1 and 2 was found in all cases to be independent of solvent and photosensitizer.     

Chemical and electrochemical synthesis,structure, photoluminescent properties,and biological activity of 4-methyl-N-[2-[(Z)-2-(2-pyridyl)alkyliminomethyl]phenyl]benzenesulfamide zinc(II) complexes

A series of Zn(II) complexes of the tridentate azomethine ligands, condensation products of 2-(N-tosylamino)benzaldehyde and 2-aminoalkylpyridines, were synthesized by chemical and electrochemical methods. All compounds were characterized on the basis of C, H, N elemental analysis, Fourier-transform infrared, ¹H nuclear magnetic resonance, UV–Vis, and photoluminescence studies. The local atomic structures of complexes were determined from analysis of extended X-ray absorption fine structure and X-ray absorption near-edge structure of Zn K-edges. The molecular structure of chloro-{4-methyl-N-[2-[(Z)-2-pyridyl)ethyliminomethyl]phenyl]benzenesulfamide}zinc(II) was determined by X-ray single-crystal diffraction. The fluorescence spectra show that these complexes in dimethyl sulfoxide solutions at room temperature emit bright blue luminescence at 435–461 nm with fluorescence quantum yields in the range of 0.20–0.31. The assignment and the nature of the bands in experimental UV–Vis spectra of complexes were analyzed using time-dependent density functional theory calculations B3LYP/6-31G(d). The azomethines and complexes of zinc have been screened for their antibacterial, protistocidal, and fungistatic activities against Penicillium italicum, Colpoda steinii, Escherichia coli 078, and Staphylococcus aureus P-209, and the results are compared with the activity of furazolidone, chloroquine, and Fundazol.     

Novel Copolymers of Trisubstituted Ethylenes and Styrene. 8. Fluoro Ring-Substituted Ethyl 2-Cyano-1-oxo-3-phenyl-2-propenylcarbamates

Electrophilic trisubstituted ethylenes, fluoro ring-substituted ethyl 2-cyano-1-oxo-3-phenyl-2-propenylcarbamates, RC₆H₃CH = C(CN)CONHCO₂C₂H₅(where R is 4-F-3-CH₃, 2-CF₃, 4-CF₃, 2,4-diF, 2,5-diF, 2,6-diF, 3,4-diF, and 3,5-diF), were prepared and copolymerized with styrene. The monomers were synthesized by the piperidine catalyzed Knoevenagel condensation of ring-substituted benzaldehydes and N-cyanoacetylurethane, and characterized by CHN analysis, IR, ¹H- and ¹³C-NMR. All the ethylenes were copolymerized with styrene (M₁) in solution with radical initiation (ABCN) at 70°C. The compositions of the copolymers were calculated from nitrogen analysis and the structures were analyzed by IR, ¹H- and ¹³C-NMR. The order of relative reactivity (1/r ₁) for the monomers 4-CF₃ (5.4) > 2,6-diF (2.0) > 2,4-diF (1.7) > 2,5-diF (1.0) > 2-CF₃ (0.8) > 3,4-diF (0.5) > 3,5-diF (0.4) > 4-F-3-CH₃ (0.3). High T _g of the copolymers in comparison with that of polystyrene indicates decrease in chain mobility of the copolymer due to the high dipolar character of the trisubstituted ethylene structural unit. Decomposition of the copolymers in nitrogen occurred in two steps, first in 270–420°C with residue (5–13% wt), which then decomposed in the 420–650°C range.     

Novel Copolymers of Styrene. 4. Halogen Ring-Substituted Butyl 2-Cyano-3-Phenyl-2-Propenoates

Novel trisubstituted ethylenes, halogen ring-substituted butyl 2-cyano-3-phenyl-2-propenoates, RPhCH ? C(CN)CO₂C₄H₉ (where R 2-Br, 3-Br, 4-Br, 2-Cl, 3-Cl, 4-Cl, 2-F, 3-F, 4-F) were prepared and copolymerized with styrene. The monomers were synthesized by the piperidine catalyzed Knoevenagel condensation of ring-substituted benzaldehydes and butyl cyanoacetate, and characterized by CHN analysis, IR, ¹H and ¹³C-NMR. All the ethylenes were copolymerized with styrene (M₁) in solution with radical initiation (ABCN) at 70°C. The compositions of the copolymers were calculated from nitrogen analysis and the structures were analyzed by IR, ¹H and ¹³C?NMR. The order of relative reactivity (1/r₁) for the monomers is 3-F (22.97) > 3-Br (6.05) > 2-Cl (4.32) > 4-F (3.19) > 4-Br (2.47) > 4-Cl (1.92) > 2-F (1.74) > 3-Cl (1.10) > 2-Br (1.07). Decomposition of the copolymers in nitrogen occurred in two steps, first in the 200–500°C range with residue (2.3–5.9% wt.), which then decomposed in the 500–800°C range.     

Condensation reactions of indole with acetophenones affording mixtures of 3,3-(1-phenylethane-1,1-diyl)bis(1H-indoles) and 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-3-(1H-indol-3-yl)-1-methyl-1,3-diphenylcyclopent[b]indoles

Condensation of indole 1a with eight acetophenones 8a–h in ethanolic HCl afforded the corresponding mixtures of condensation products: 3,3-(1-phenylethane-1,1-diyl)bis(1H-indoles) 11a–h (2:1 condensation of indole:acetophenone, –H₂O) and diastereomers of substituted 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-3-(1H-indol-3-yl)-1-methyl-1,3-diphenylcyclopent[b]indoles 12a–h and 13a–h (2:2 condensation of indole:acetophenone, –2H₂O). Each mixture was analyzed by ¹H NMR. The use of substituted electron-withdrawing acetophenones favored formation of 2:1 condensation products, whereas the use of substituted electron-donating acetophenones favored formation of 2:2 condensation products. Increased reaction temperature gave higher 2:2 condensation yields, but temperatures above 40?°C were unfavorable, giving complex, tarry mixtures.     

In situ vinylindole synthesis: Diels–Alder reactions with N-phenylmaleimides, 1-tetralones and 4-chromanones to give annulated tetrahydrocarbazoles

Abstract

An acid-catalyzed condensation of indole 4 with 1-tetralones 5a–f formed a vinylindole which reacted in situ with N-phenylmaleimides 7a–g. This cascade of condensation and Diels–Alder reaction was performed in IPA (isopropyl alcohol) and in presence of p-TsOH (p-toluenesulfonic acid) at reflux to produce annulated tetrahydrocarbazoles 8a–g and 10a–e. Similarly, 9a–g were synthesized by substituting 4-chromanone 6 for 5a–f. The 1-tetralone derived products 8a–g and 10a–e were obtained in higher yields (19–79%) compared to 4-chromanone derived 9a–g (6–28%), likely due to additional side reactions in case of chromanones. To establish the structure and stereochemistry of products, the crystal structure of 10c was obtained, confirming endo-Diels–Alder addition.     

Concise and efficient synthesis of E-stereoisomers of exo-cyclic carbohydrate enones. Aldol condensation of dihydrolevoglucosenone with five-membered aromatic aldehydes Part 1

Stereoselective synthesis of exocyclic enones 10–17 via a base-catalyzed direct aldol condensation between dihydrolevoglucosenone 1 and heterocyclic aldehydes 2–9 is described. The reaction is performed under mild conditions and is applicable to variety of heterocyclic aldehydes. E-Steroisomers of exo-cyclic enones are the only products. They are very easy to isolate and were formed in good to excellent (72–88%) yield. ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR analyses provide the structural assignment and absolute stereochemistry of the condensation products. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction of condensation product 12, additionally supports the structural assignment.     

Synthesis and Biological Activity of 2-Hydroxy-N(5-methylene-4-oxo-2-aryl-thiazolidin-3-yl)-benzamide

2-Hydroxy benzoic acid hydrazide (1) undergoes facile condensation with aromatic aldehydes to afford the corresponding 2-hydroxy benzoic acid arylidene hydrazides (2a–h) in good yields. Cyclocondensation of compounds 2a–h with thioglycolic acid yields 2-hydroxy-N(4-oxo-2-aryl-thiazolidin-3-yl)-benzamides (3a–h). These 3a–h compounds are for the reacted with benzaldehyde in the presence of sodium ethanolate affords, giving 2-hydroxy-N(5-methylene-4-oxo-2-aryl-thiazolidin-3-yl)-benzamides (4a–h). The structures of these compounds were established on the basis of analytical and spectral data. All the newly synthesized compounds were evaluated for their antibacterial and antifungal activities.

Synthesis and stereochemical assignment of 7-arylidene and 7-heteroarylidene morphinan-6-ones

A number of (E)-7-arylidenenaltrexones were synthesized by azeotropic distillation of water from a benzene solution of naltrexone and an aromatic aldehyde (benzaldehyde, 4-chloro- and 4-fluorobenzaldehyde, 3-and 4-pyridinecarboxaldehyde and 1-methyl-2-imidazolecarboxaldehyde) using piperidine as a catalyst. In addition, (E)-7-benzylidenenaloxone was prepared by the previously published Claisen-Schmidt condensation using sodium hydroxide in methanol. The stereochemistry of these arylidene derivatives 3–9 was determined to be (E) by means of nuclear Overhauser enhancement experiments. The ¹³C nmr spectra of (E)- 3–9 are recorded in deuteriochloroform and those of the hydrochlorides in deuteriodimethyl sulfoxide.     

Highly efficient and regioselective synthesis of keto-enamine Schiff bases of 7-hydroxy-4-methyl-2-oxo-2H-benzo[h]chromene-8,10-dicarbaldehyde and 1-hydroxynaphthalene-2,4-dicarbaldehyde

A series of novel Schiff bases has been synthesized by reacting 7-hydroxy-4-methyl-2-oxo-2H-benzo[h]chromene-8,10-dicarbaldehyde 3 and 1-hydroxynaphthalene-2,4-dicarbaldehyde 8 with several primary alkylamines in ethyl alcohol at room temperature within 1-2 min. Schiff bases 4a-i and 9 were formed regioselectively by condensation with only one aldehyde, which is in chelation with a hydroxyl group. Extensive 2D NMR spectroscopic studies revealed that all the compounds 4a-i and 9 exist in the keto-enamine tautomeric form at room temperature. The high reactivity, regioselectivity and stable keto-enamine tautomeric form are due to the presence of an electron-withdrawing aldehyde group.     

Synthesis and characterization of soluble polyimides from 2,2-bis(4-aminophenyl)cycloalkane derivatives

New aromatic diamines [(1) and (2)] containing polycycloalkane structures between two benzene rings were synthesized by HCl-catalyzed condensation reaction of aniline hydrochloride and corresponding polycycloalkanone derivatives. The structures of diamines were identified by ¹H-NMR, ¹³C-NMR, FTIR spectroscopy, and elemental analysis. The polyimides were synthesized from the obtained diamines with various aromatic dianhydrides by one-step polymerization in m-cresol. The inherent viscosities of the resulting polyimides were in the range of 0.34–1.02 dL/g. The polyimides showed good thermal stabilities and solubility. All the polymers were readily soluble in N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone, m-cresol, tetrachloroethane, etc. Some of them were soluble even in chloroform at room temperature. The glass transition temperatures were observed in the range of 323–363°C, and all of the polymers were stable up to 400°C under nitrogen atmosphere. © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

The title products were obtained by Knoevenagel condensation between 4-carbethoxy-5-methyl-3-(2H)furanone and substituted benzaldehydes (or 4-chloroacetophenone). The configuration of the resulting compounds was investigated by ¹H nmr using the lanthanide shift reagent.     

Identification of radiation‐induced radical structure in azocalix[4]arene: an EPR study

A macrocyclic azocalix[4]arene (1) based ester derivative was synthesized. The single crystals of azocalix[4]arene were produced by slow evaporation of concentrated ethyl acetate solutions. These single crystals were exposed to ⁶⁰Co gamma rays with a dose rate of 0.980 kGy h^‐1 for 48 and 72 h to produce a stable free radical. Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) measurements were performed in three mutually perpendicular planes of the single crystal in the magnetic field, in addition, temperature dependence of the EPR signal was studied between 120 K and 450 K. The spectra were found to be temperature and angular dependent. Analysis based on the spectra recorded showed that a free radical was formed by fission of a C–H bond. This radical is described as ^?C_aHC_bH₃ The averages of the principal values of the hyperfine parameters and g‐factor are: g = 2.0034, A_Ha = 1.28 mT, A_H1=H2 = 1.00 mT, and A_H3 = 0.49 mT.
