Synthesis and characterization of new thermally stable copoly(ester–amide)s from diester–dicarboxylic acids

Three new aromatic diester–dicarboxylic acids containing furan rings, namely, benzofuro[2,3-b]benzofuran-2,9-dicarboxyl-bis-phenyl ester-4,4^′-dicarboxylic acid, benzofuro[2,3-b]benzofuran-2,9-dicarboxyl-bis-phenyl ester-3,3^′-dicarboxylic acid and benzofuro[2,3-b]benzofuran-2,9-dicarboxyl-bis-naphthyl ester-2,2^′-dicarboxylic acid were synthesized by the reaction of benzofuro[2,3-b]benzofuran-2,9-dicarbonyl chloride with 4-hydroxybenzoic acid, 3-hydroxybenzoic acid and 3-hydroxy-naphthalene-2-carboxylic acid, respectively. Diester–dicarboxylic acids were characterized by FT-IR and NMR spectroscopy and elemental analyses. Then, these monomers were converted to aromatic copoly(ester–amide)s by their reaction with various aromatic diamines via the direct polycondensation. These polymers were characterized by viscosity measurements, solubility tests, FT-IR, Ultraviolet and ¹H-NMR spectroscopy and thermogravimetry. The polymers with inherent viscosities in the range of 0.16–0.37 dl/g in dimethyl sulfoxide at 30 °C were obtained in high yield. Most of them dissolved readily at room temperature in polar solvents. The synthesized copoly(ester–amide)s possessed glass-transition temperatures from 210–255 °C. The copoly(ester–amide)s exhibited excellent thermal stabilities and had 10% weight loss at temperature above 295 °C under nitrogen atmosphere.     

One-pot synthesis of dual-state emission (DSE) luminogens containing the V-shape furo[2,3-b]furan scaffold

To discover novel fluoro p hores of solution and solid dual-state emission(DSE) materials,unique V-shape furo[2,3-b]furans have been designed and synthesized by a one-pot method for the first time and their photoluminescent properties have been explored in benzene,THF,DMF and DMSO,as well as in the solid state.As the best example,2,5-bis(4-(9 H-carbazol-9-yl)phenyl)-6 a-amino-3 a,6 a-dihydrofuro[2,3-b]furan-3,3 a,4-trica rbonitrile(3 g) exhibited solution and solid DSE properties in THF,benzene,and in the solid state with quantum yields of 55%,92%,and 45%,respectively.     

Regioselective 1,3-Dipolar Cycloaddition Reactions of Unsymmetrical Münchnones (1,3-Oxazolium-5-olates) with 2- and 3-Nitroindoles. A New Synthesis of Pyrrolo[3,4-b]indoles

The unsymmetrical mesoionic münchnones 13 (3-benzyl-2-methyl-4-phenyl-1,3-oxazolium-5-olate) and 14 (3-benzyl-4-methyl-2-phenyl-1,3-oxazolium-5-olate) react with the N-protected 2- and 3-nitroindoles 1 (ethyl 2-nitroindole-1-carboxylate), 6 (3-nitro-1-(phenylsulfonyl)indole), and 17 (ethyl 3-nitroindole-1-carboxylate) in refluxing THF to afford in good to excellent yields the pyrrolo[3,4-b]indoles 15 (2-benzyl-1-methyl-3-phenyl-4-carboethoxy-2,4-dihydropyrrolo[3,4-b]indole), 16 (2-benzyl-3-methyl-1-phenyl-4-carboethoxy-2,4-dihydropyrrolo[3,4-b]indole), 18 (2-benzyl-1-methyl-3-phenyl-4-(phenylsulfonyl)-2,4-dihydropyrrolo[3,4-b]indole), and 19 (2-benzyl-3-methyl-1-phenyl-4-(phenylsulfonyl)-2,4-dihydropyrrolo[3,4-b]indole). In several cases the regiochemistry, which is opposite to that predicted by FMO theory, is very high and leads essentially to a single pyrrolo[3,4-b]indole; e.g., 6+13→19 in 74% yield.     

An unexpected [2+2]-cycloaddition reaction of 4-methyldithieno-[3,4-b:3′,2′-d]pyridinium iodide with dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate

An unexpected [2+2]-cycloaddition occured in the reaction of 4-methyldithieno-[3,4-6:3′,2′-d]pyridinium iodide (3)with two equivalents of DMAD, giving 4-(trans-1,2-dicarbomethoxy-2- iodovinyl)-5-methyl-6,7-dicarbomethoxy-4,5-dihydrothieno [23-c]quinoline (4) in 54% yield. 4 is formed via 4-methyl-5-(trans-1,2-dicarbomethoxy-2-iodo-4,5-dihydrothieno [3,4-b:3′,2′-d]pyridine (16), followed by [2+2]-cycloaddition. The primary adduct rearranges via a thiepin to an episulfide which eliminates sulfur to give 4.     

A new method for the preparation of 2,3-cycloalkeno-5,6-cycloalkeno-4H-pyran-4-ones

Several 2,3-cycloalkeno-5,6-cycloalkeno-4H-pyran-4-ones, such as 2,3,5,6-bicyclopenteno-4H-pyran-4-one and 1,2-dihydronaphtho[3,4-b]cyclopenteno[1,2-e]-4H-pyran-4-one, were synthesized conveniently by the reaction of a cyclic ketone enamine and diacylchloride. This reaction allows a new method for preparation of these compounds, which may be the precursors for the synthesis of some useful heterocycles.     

Trapping of photochemical intermediates as a tool in organic synthesis. Preparation of spiroaziridinopyridones, a new heterocyclic system

Whereas alkyl lithium and Grignard reagents both at rt and at −80°C thermally react with 3-methylisoxazolo[5,4-b]pyridine giving alkylation and/or isoxazole ring opening products, sodium malonate and sodium boron hydride react only under UV irradiation. Selective trappings of ketenimine or azirine intermediates give an enaminopyridone or two diasteroisomeric spiroaziridinopirydones. Regioselective opening of the aziridine ring with perchloric acid gives 3(1-amino-ethyl)-1H-pyridin-2-one.

Several series of new benzofused thieno[3,2-b]furan- and thieno[3,2-b]thiophene-based derivatives have been synthesized and their mesomorphic properties investigated. All the studied compounds exhibit a SmC* phase with very wide temperature interval. Additionally, some types of the compounds show the cholesteric, SmA or blue phase. In the ferroelectric SmC* phase we evaluated physical properties of relevance for possible applications.

Synthesis of 2,3-dioxo-2,3-dihydro-4-methyl-6-chloro-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridine and its 1-α-L-arabinopyranoside

A new type of isatin analog-2,3-dioxo-2,3-dihydro-4-methyl-6-chloro-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridine — was obtained by oxidation of 4-methyl-6-chloro-1H-pyrrolo(2,3-b]pyridine. Condensation of L-arabinose with 4-methyl-6-chloro-2,3-dihydropyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridine and subsequent acetylation and dehydrogenation gave 1-(2,3,4-tri-O-acetyl--L-arabinopyranosyl)-4-methyl-6-chloropyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridine, which served as the starting compound for the synthesis of 1--L-arabinopyranosyl-4-methyl-6-chloropyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridine. Oxidation of 1-(2,3,4-tri-O-acetyl-L-arabinopyranosyl)-4-methyl-6-chloropyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridine gave 1-(2,3.4-tri-O-acetyl--L-arabinopyranosyl)-2,3-dioxo-2,3-dihydro-4-methyl-6-chloropyrrolo [2,3-b]pyridine.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 8, pp. 1083–1086, August, 1977.     

Emission energies and photophysical properties of ladder oligo(p-aniline)s

Emission properties and the photophysics of three ladder oligo(p-aniline)s; namely 5,11-diethyl-6,12-dimethylindolo[3,2-b]carbazole (DIMER 2P), 14-ethyl-5,8-dihydro-diindolo[3,2-b:2′,3′-h]carbazole (TRIMER 2P), and 5,8,14-triethyl-diindolo[3,2-b:2′,3′-h]carbazole (TRIMER 3P) are presented. The optimization (relaxation) of the first singlet excited electronic state (S₁) has been done using the restricted configuration interaction (singles) (RCIS/6-31G*) approach. The excitation to the S₁ state does not cause important changes in the geometrical parameters of the compounds, as is experimentally corroborated by the small Stokes shifts. Emission energies from the relaxed excited states have been obtained from TDDFT calculations performed on the S₁ optimized geometries and have been correlated with the corresponding fluorescence spectra of the derivatives dissolved in dichloromethane. A good agreement has been found between TDDFT emission energies and the (0,0) fluorescence bands. As predicted from theoretical calculations, all compounds exhibit small Stokes shift, which testify the rigidity of these ladder compounds. Moreover, this theoretical approach provides a good evaluation of the bathochromic shifts caused by the increase in the conjugation length or by the presence of alkyl chains on the nitrogen atoms. Finally, the fluorescence quantum yield and lifetime of the compounds in dichloromethane have been obtained. From these data, the radiative and nonradiative rate constants of the deactivation of the S₁ state have been determined.     

A Straightforward Synthesis of Polythiophene-fused-3-sulfolenes from Methyl 3-Hydroxy-4,6-dihydrothieno[3,4-b]thiophene-2-carboxylate

A straightforward synthesis of substituted polythiophene-fused-3-sulfolenes from the readily prepared methyl 3-hydroxy-4,6-dihydrothieno[3,4-b]thiophene-2-carboxylate will be presented. Upon thermolysis in the presence of N-phenylmaleimide, these new substrates serve as precursors of reactive polythiophene o-quinodimethanes to give the corresponding Diels-Alder adducts in high yields.     

Gas-phase thermolysis of condensed-1,2,4-triazines: interesting routes toward heterocyclic ring systems

Gas-phase thermolysis of thieno[2,3-e][1,2,4]triazines gave benzonitrile, isothiazole, pyridazine, and thieno[2,3-d]thiazole derivatives. Similar transformation of benzo[1,2,4]triazine and phenanthro[9,10-e][1,2,4]triazine derivatives into their corresponding condensed thiazoles has been achieved by heating at 350 °C with sulfur. A mechanism for these pyrolytic transformations was proposed.     

A new route to the indolopyridonaphthyridine ring system: synthesis of N-benzyl-13b,14-dihydronauclefine and N-benzyl-13b,14-dihydroangustine

The indolo[2:3,3':4']pyrido[1,2-b]naphthyridine ring system, which is present in several alkaloids, has been prepared in a single reaction between the lithio derivative of a 3-cyano-4-methylpyridine and N-benzyl-3,4-dihydro-β-carboline in the presence of trimethylsilyl trifluoromethanesulfonate. Using appropriately substituted starting materials, N-benzyl-13b,14-dihydronaucléfine and N-benzyl-13b,14-dihydroangustine have been made in this way. A new preparation of the synthetic intermediate 9-benzyl-3,4-dihydro-β-carboline is also described.     

A new photocyclization approach to the rare 1,3-thiazino[6,5-b]indol-4-one derivatives

The analogs of indole phytoalexin cyclobrassinon have been prepared in four steps from corresponding 1-substituted 2-chloroindole-3-carboxylic acids, employing a hitherto unknown photochemical cyclization of new indolyl thiocarbamates to 1,3-thiazino[6,5-b]indole-4-one derivatives as a key step.     

Functional derivatives of thiophene

A method is proposed for the synthesis of 5-acylamino-2,3-dimethylthiophene-4-carbaldehydes and 5-acylamino-2,3-tetramethylenethiophene-4-carbaldehydes by the formylation of the corresponding thiophenes using the Vilsmeier reaction. From the formyl derivatives obtained, previously unaccessible derivatives of thieno[2,3-b]pyridine, thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidine, and thieno[3′,2′∶5,6]pyrido[2,3-d]-pyrimidine have been synthesized.     

Polymethine dyes — Benzofuro[2,3-b]pyridine and selenonaphtheno[2,3-b]pyridine derivatives

Polymethine dyes — benzofuro[2,3-b]pyridine and selenonaphtheno[2,3-b]pyridine derivatives — were synthesized, and their spectral properties are discussed. Replacement of a vinylene group by an oxygen or selenium atom in one benzene ring of the 2-benzo[h]quinoline residue in the cyanines causes a large bathochromic shift of the absorption maxima of the dyes as compared with replacement by a sulfur atom. The dyes derived from benzofuro[2,3-b]pyridine derivatives are more deeply colored than the derivatives of both thionaphtheno[2,3-b]-pyridine and selenonaphtheno[2,3-b]pyridine.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 12, pp.1611–1614, December, 1972.     

Acces aux dinitro-2,4 diarylamines par substitution nucleophile SNAr-limites de la reaction et application a la synthese de cyanocarbazoles

3-Cyanocarbazoles, key-intermediates in the total synthesis of pyrido [4,3-b] carbazoles, have been obtained starting from easily available materials and involving the cyclization of diarylamines. The first step of the preparation consists in a S_NAr reaction between a para substituted aniline and a chloro- (or bromo)-dinitrobenzene. This nucleophilic substitution has been found to be hindered by the steric effect of a methyl group, explained in terms of inhibition of resonance and confirmed by X-ray determination.
