Reaction of 2-aryl-4-dichloromethylidene-1,3-oxazol-5(4<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>)-ones with 2-aminopyridine

Reactions of multicenter electrophilic substrates, 2-aryl-4-dichloromethylidene-1,3-oxazol-5(4H)-ones, with 2-aminopyridine, involved cleavage of the dihydrooxazole ring by the primary amino group of nucleophilic reagent and subsequent cyclization to imidazopyridine derivatives. The latter reacted with morpholine and its analogs via recyclization with formation of 5-amino-2-aryl-N-(pyridin-2-yl)-1,3-oxazole-4-carboxamides.     

Synthesis of substituted 3,4-dihydropyrimidin-2(1<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>)-ones and pyrimidin-2(1<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>)-ones by the Biginelli reaction with 3,5-Di-<Emphasis Type="Italic">tert</Emphasis>-butyl-4-hydroxybenzaldehyde

Three-component acid-catalyzed cyclocondensation of 3,5-di-tret-butyl-4-hydroxybenzaldehyde with urea and ethyl acetoacetate or α-nitroacetophenone (Biginelli reaction) under homogeneous conditions gave the corresponding 5-substituted 3,4-dihydropyrimidin-2(1H)-ones having in position 4 of the heteroring an aryl substituent with sterically shielded hydroxy group. The condensation catalyzed by inorganic salts (Fe³⁺, Co²⁺, Zn²⁺, Li⁺) was successful only with ethyl acetoacetate as initial methylene-active component. Under analogous conditions, acetophenone and 4-fluoroacetophenone gave rise to 4,6-diarylpyrimidin-2(1H)-ones which are capable of undergoing phenol-quinonemethide tautomerism.     

Synthesis and antibacterial activity of new <Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-substituted 7-amino-4-methyl-2<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>-chromen-2-ones

N-Aryl-2-methyl-4-oxo-3,4,5,6-tetrahydro-2H-2,6-methano-1,3,5-benzoxadiazocine-11-carboxamides were synthesized by three-component reactions of N-aryl-3-oxobutanamides with salicylaldehyde and urea in ethanol in the presence of NaHSO₄ as catalyst. The product structure was determined by IR and ¹H NMR spectroscopy and X-ray analysis.

3-Polyfluoroalkyl-6,6-dimethyl-7-(1H-1,2,3-triazol-1-yl)-6,7-dihydro-1H-indazol-4(5H)-ones were synthesized with high regioselectivity by 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of terminal alkynes (phenylacetylene, hex- 1-yne, hept-1-yne, and but-3-yn-1-ol) to 7-azido-6,6-dimethyl-3-polyfluoroalkyl-6,7-dihydro-1H-indazol-4(5H)-ones which were prepared by bromination of 6,6-dimethyl-3-polyfluoroalkyl-6,7-dihydro-1H-indazol- 4(5H)-ones with N-bromosuccinimide in anhydrous carbon tetrachloride, followed by treatment of the corresponding 7-bromo derivatives with sodium azide.     

Cyclocondensation of <Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-aryl-3-oxobutanethioamides with 1<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>-1,2,4-triazol-5-amine

Reactions of N-aryl-3-oxobutanethioamides with 1H-1,2,4-triazole-5-amine give mixtures of 7-arylamino-5-methyl[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidines, 5-methyl-4,7-dihydro[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine-7-thione, 7-methyl-4,5-dihydro[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine-5-thione, and 5-arylamino-7-methyl[1,2,4]triazolo[ 1,5-a]pyrimidines whose ratio depends on the substituent in the aryl group of initial N-aryl-3-oxobutanethioamide and solvent nature (the presence of a proton-donor solvent).     

Copolymer of <Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>,<Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-diallyl-<Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>,<Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-dimethylammonium chloride with maleic acid as drug carrier

A copolymer of N,N-diallyl-N,N-dimethylammonium chloride with maleic acid of constant composition was prepared under the conditions of radical initiation. The possibility of the functionalization of the copolymer with drugs containing amino groups by polymer-analogous transformations was examined. Conditions were found for preparing conjugates of the copolymer with isoniazid. The structures and the quantitative compositions of the conjugates were determined by ¹³С NMR spectroscopy, and the possibility of preparing conjugates with controlled drug content was demonstrated.     

Molecular properties of the copolymers of <Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>,<Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-diallyl-<Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>,<Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-dimethylammonium chloride and maleic acid

The hydrodynamic and conformational properties of molecules of poly(N,N-diallyl-N,N-dimethylammonium chloride) and N,N-diallyl-N,N-dimethylammonium chloride-maleic acid copolymers of different compositions in solutions with various ionic-strength and pH values, as well as of the polyelectrolyte complex based on the copolymer with dodecyl sulfate anions in chloroform, are studied. For poly(N,N-diallyl-N,N-dimethylammonium chloride) molecules in a 1 M NaCl solution, the Kuhn segment length and the hydrodynamic diameter of the chain are estimated as A = 3.9 nm and d = 0.48 nm, respectively. In acidic solutions with pH 3.5, the copolymers demonstrate behavior typical for polyelectrolytes. In an alkaline solution with pH 13, when 1 M NaCl is added to the solution of the copolymer containing 29 mol % maleic acid units, there is an antipolyelectrolyte effect that manifests itself as an increase in the intrinsic viscosity of the copolymer and in the hydrodynamic radius of its molecules. It is found that an increase in the fraction of maleic acid units in the copolymer from 12 to 42 mol % brings about a reduction in the equilibrium rigidity of its macromolecules from 4.1 to 2.2 nm. The equilibrium rigidity of polyelectrolyte-complex molecules is higher than that of initial copolymer molecules owing to steric interactions arising between the aliphatic chains of dodecyl sulfate anions. In an electric field, the molecules of the complex are oriented owing to the induced dipole moment resulting from the displacement of dodecyl sulfate anions along the chain contour.

The reactions of 3-amino-1,2,4-triazole, 5-aminotetrazole, and 2-aminobenzimidazole with 2-aryl-4-arylidene-4H-oxazol-5-ones (azlactones) were studied. The electron-releasing properties of the azole ring were demonstrated to influence the reaction pathway of azlactones with aminoazoles. The structures of the resulting compounds were established by ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectroscopy using spin-spin decoupling and the nuclear Overhauser effect.__________Published in Russian in Izvestiya Akademii Nauk.

A new single-step approach to cyclopenta[a]naphthalenes through TiCl₄-catalyzed reactions of 1-trimethylsilyloxycyclopentene with arylacetaldehydes was proposed. 8-Methoxy-5-methyl-2,3-dihydro-1H-cyclopenta[a]naphthalene and its derivatives were studied in oxidation and bromination reactions, as well as in hydrolytic cleavage of the O-Me bond.     

Regioselectivity in the reactions of <Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-(polychloroethylidene)-sulfonamides with 1<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>-pyrrole and 1-methyl-1<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>-pyrrole

N-(2,2,2-Trichloroethylidene)arenesulfonamides react with 1H-pyrrole and 1-methyl-1H-pyrrole to give the corresponding N-[2,2,2-trichloro-1-(1H-pyrrol-2-yl)ethyl]arenesulfonamides. The reaction of N-(2,2,2-trichloroethylidene)trifluoromethanesulfonamide with pyrrole leads to a mixture of 2-mono-and 2,5-disubstituted pyrroles, whereas in the reaction with 1-methyl-1H-pyrrole only the 2-substituted compound is formed. N-(2,2-Dichloro-2-phenylethylidene)-4-methylbenzenesulfonamide reacts with 1H-pyrrole to form N-[2,2-dichloro-2-phenyl-1-(1H-pyrrol-2-yl)ethyl]-4-methylbenzenesulfonamide, and its reaction with 1-methyl-1H-pyrrole gives a mixture of 2-and 3-monosubstituted derivatives. The results of quantum-chemical calculations of the initial reactants and products indicate that the process is orbital-controlled. A good agreement is observed between the experimental data and theoretical conclusions concerning the dependence of the reaction regioselectivity on the nature of substituents in the electrophile molecule.

A reaction of 3-allyl- and 3-phenylthiohydantoins with 1,5-diphenyl- and 1-phenyl-substituted 3-formyl-2-pyrazolines was used to obtain a series of 5-(pyrazolin-3-ylmethylidene)-2-thioxotetrahydro-4H-imidazol-4-ones, the subsequent alkylation of which with methyl iodide or ethyl chloroacetate gave the corresponding 2-alkylthio-5-(pyrazolin-3-ylmethylidene)-3,5-dihydro-4H-imidazol-4-ones in the yields from 30 to 77%. The oxidation of (5Z)-3-phenyl-5-[(1,5-diphenylpyrazolin-3-yl)methylidene]-2-methylsulfanyl-4,5-dihydroimidazol-4-one with lead tetraacetate led to the corresponding pyrazole in 48% yield.
