Compound III is accompanied by small amounts of the bis addition products (V) in the reactions of ethyl acrylate with a few of the hydrazines. Cyclization of III to 1,2-dialkyl-3-pyrazolidinones (IV) was achieved with sodium methoxide. 1,2-Dialkyl-5-methyl-3-pyrazolidinones were obtained directly from 1,2-dialkylhydrazines and ethyl crotonate. A procedure for the preparation of 1,2-di-(2-ethoxycarbonylethyl)hydrazines is also given.

Alkylation of 1-alkoxy-3-methyl-1-triazene 2-oxide sodium salts

1-Alkoxy-3-methyl-1-triazene 2-oxide sodium salts react with chloromethyl methyl sulfide to give a mixture of 1-alkoxy-3-methyl-3-(methylthiomethyl)-1-triazene 2-oxides and 3-alkoxy-1-methyl-3-(methylthiomethyl)-1-triazene 2-oxides. The reaction of these triazene oxide sodium salts with 3,3-dialkyl-1-chloromethoxy-1-triazene 2-oxides produces a complex mixture of product bearing the oxytriazene moieties of the starting alkoxy-1-triazene 2-oxides bonded with the methylene group as a key structural fragment.

A new and efficient approach to isoxazolines. First synthesis of 3-aryl-5-dichloromethyl-2-isoxazolines

An efficient synthetic method for 3-aryl-5-dichloromethyl-2-isoxazolines has been established. Reactions between anhydrous chloral and acetophenones in hot acetic acid lead to 1-aryl-4,4,4-trichloro-3-hydroxybutan-1-ones (chloralacetophenones), which provided 1-aryl-4,4-dichlorobut-3-en-1-ones (2,2-dichlorovinylacetophenones) by dehydration and subsequent electrochemical reduction. These β,γ-unsaturated enones reacted with hydroxylamine yielding oxime intermediates whose treatment with aqueous sodium hydroxide gave novel 3-aryl-5-dichloromethyl-2-isoxazolines in fair to high yields. The molecular structure of a member of this family of compounds, 5-dichoromethy1-3-(4-methoxyphenyl)-2-isoxazoline, was determined by X-ray crystallography.

Reduction of 5-(bromomethyl)-1-pyrrolinium bromides to 2-(bromomethyl)pyrrolidines and their transformation into piperidin-3-ones through an unprecedented ring expansion-oxidation protocol

3,3-Dialkyl-5-(bromomethyl)-1-pyrrolinium bromides, prepared via bromocyclization of N-(2,2-dialkyl-4-pentenylidene)amines by means of bromine in dichloromethane, were reduced to 4,4-dialkyl-2-(bromomethyl)pyrrolidines for the first time using borane dimethyl sulfide in dichloromethane. Furthermore, the latter 2-(bromomethyl)pyrrolidines were transformed into the corresponding piperidin-3-ones through an unprecedented ring expansion-oxidation protocol in dimethylsulfoxide in the presence of potassium carbonate. Reduction of 5,5-dialkylpiperidin-3-ones by means of sodium borohydride in methanol afforded 5,5-dialkyl-3-hydroxypiperidines in good yields.

The first method for the synthesis of the title compounds has been established. Quantitative reactions of benzamides with chloral hydrate provided chloralbenzamides which were efficiently converted to N-(1,2,2,2-tetrachloroethyl)amides by treatment with phosphorus pentachloride. These compounds reacted selectively with alcohols under mild conditions to give N-(1-alkoxy-2,2,2-trichloroethyl)benzamides in high yields which were stereoselectively transformed to (E)-4-alkoxy-2-aryl-5-chloro-2-oxazolines in fair to good yields by electrochemical reduction under constant cathodic potential in an aprotic medium.     

4-aryl-2-hydroxy-4-oxobut-2-enoic acids <Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-(2-pyridyl)amides in reactions with diazo compounds

Reactions of 4-aryl-2-hydroxy-4-oxobut-2-enoic acids N-(2-pyridyl)amides with diazomethane, diazoethane, diaryldiazomethanes, and diazofluorene lead to the formation of 2-alkoxy-4-aryl-4-oxobut-2-enoic acids N-(2-pyridyl)amides, 3-aroyl-5-methylpyrazole-4-carboxylic acids N-(2-pyridyl)amides, and 3-alkoxy-3-(2-aryl-2-oxoethyl)-2,3-dihydro-2-oxoimidazo[1,2-a]pyridines. The composition and structure of compounds obtained depend on the nucleophilic nature of the diazo compound and on the character of substituents in the aryl and pyridine parts of the substrate.

A new and simple route for the preparation of 3-aryl-2,2-dialkyl-2,3-dihydrobenzofurans from phenols is described. In the presence of an acid catalyst phenols react with 2-aryl-2,2-dialkylacetaldehydes, prepared in good yield from 2-arylacetonitriles in 2 steps, to give 3-aryl-2,2-dialkyl-2,3-dihydrobenzofurans. Electron-donating substituents were required on the phenols in order to give 3-aryl-2,2-dialkyl-2,3-dihydrobenzofurans in good yield.     

Unusual reactions of 5,5-dimethyl-2-(indenyl-2)-3-pyrazolidinone with acetylenedicarboxylates

[reaction: see text] Reaction of 5,5-dimethyl-3-pyrazolidinone (1) with 2-indanone (2) gave 5,5-dimethyl-2-(1H-indenyl-2)-3-pyrazolidinone (3) instead of the expected azomethine imine 4. Although reaction of 2-substituted 3-pyrazolidinones with acetylenedicarboxylates usually gives ring expansion products, such as 1,2-diazepines, treatment of 3 with dialkyl acetylenedicarboxylates (5, R = Me; 6 R = Et) resulted in the formation of rel-(7aR,12aS)-6,7-bis(alkoxycarbonyl)-3,4-dihydro-4,4-dimethyl-7aH-indano[1,2-b]pyrrolo[1,2-a]pyrimidin-2-ones (7, R = Me; 9, R = Et) as major products and 3,4-bis(alkoxycarbonyl)-7,7-dimethyl-2-(indenyl-2)-6,7-dihydro-2H,6H-1,2-diazepin-5-ones (8, R = Me: 10, R = Et) as minor products.
