The 2-picolinium N-ylide 4, generated in situ from the N-acylmethyl-2-picolinium bromide 3, underwent cycloaddition to N-phenylmaleimide or carbon disulfide to give the corresponding cycloadducts 6 and 8, respectively similar reactions of compound 3 with some electron-deficient alkenes in the presence of MnO(2) yielded the products 11 and 12. In addition, reaction of 4 with arylidene cyanothioacetamide andmalononitrile derivatives afforded the thiophene and aniline derivatives 15 and 17, respectively. Heating of picolinium bromide 3 with triethylamine in benzene furnished 2-(2-thienyl)indolizine (18). The structures of the isolated products were confirmed by elemental analysis as well as by (1)H- and (13)C-NMR, IR, and MS data. Both the stereochemistry and the regioselectivity of the studied reactions are discussed. The biological activity of the newly synthesized compounds was examined and showed promising results.     

Cyclization of thiohydrazonate esters and azo‐hydrazone tautomerism of 2‐arylhydrazono‐3‐oxo‐1,4‐benzothiazines

Reaction of ethyl arylhydrazonochloroacetates ( 1 ) with 2‐aminothiophenol ( 2 ) in ethanol in the presence of triethylamine yielded the respective ethyl thiohydrazonate esters ( 3 ). Similarly, methyl arylhydrazonochloroacetates ( 6 ) gave the corresponding methyl thiohydrazonate esters ( 7 ). Treatment of both 3 and 7 with hydrogen chloride in ethanol afforded the respective 1,4‐benzothiazine derivatives 4 . Identical products ( 4 ) were obtained by refluxing 1 or 6 in ethanol in the presence of triethylamine. The structure of 4 was confirmed by their alternate synthesis starting with diethyl chloromalonate in ethanol in the presence of triethylamine which yielded the intermediate 1,4‐benzothiazine derivatives 8 . The subsequent coupling of 8 with diazotized anilines in ethanol in the presence of potassium hydroxide afforded 4 .     

Sulfenylation of heterocyclic 1,3‐dicarbonyl systems: 4‐Hydroxy‐2‐pyrones, 6‐hydroxy‐4‐pyrimidones, 4‐hydroxy‐2‐pyridones, 4‐hydroxy‐6‐pyridazinones,and 5‐hydroxy‐3‐pyrazolones

Anions of enolized heteroaromatic 1,3‐dicarbonyl systems, such as the title compounds 1, 9,14 , and 19 , react in dimethylformamide in the presence of potassium carbonate with diaryl disulfides 2 to yield arylsulfenyl derivatives ( 3, 10, 15, 20 ). The arylthiolate anions 4 formed in this reaction can be oxidized by air to yield the starting disulfides 2 again. Tetraalkylthiuram disulfides 7 react in the same manner to yield dialkylaminothiocarbonylthio derivatives ( 8, 13, 18 ) of the title compounds. Oxidation of the arylsulfenyl derivatives with hydrogen peroxide in sodium hydroxide solution usually leads to sulfoxides ( 5, 11, 16 ), whereas oxidation with peracetic acid affords sulfones ( 6, 12, 17 ).

Reduction of the acetyl group of 7 and 8 with sodium borohydride afforded the corresponding hydroxyethyl derivatives (9 and 10). Compounds (9 and 10) were dehydrated with methanesulfonyl chloride and triethylamine to give (trifluorovinyl)vinyldeuteroporphyrin dimethyl esters (11 and 12). Treatment of 5 and 6 with bis(1-chloro-2,2-difluorovinyl)zinc in the presence of tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium, followed by similar reactions as above gave (1-chloro-2,2-difluorovinyl)-vinyldeuteroporphyrin dimethyl esters (17 and 18).

Solvent-free reactions of C60 with active methylene compounds, either with or without carbon tetrabromide, in the presence of bases under high-speed vibration milling conditions

Solvent-free reactions of C(60) with active methylene compounds, either with or without carbon tetrabromide (CBr(4)), in the presence of a base under high-speed vibration milling (HSVM) conditions were investigated. The reaction of C(60) with diethyl bromomalonate was conducted under HSVM conditions in the presence of piperidine, triethylamine or Na(2)CO(3) to afford cyclopropane derivative. In the presence of CBr(4), methanofullerenes, and could be obtained by the direct reaction of C(60) with diethyl malonate, dimethyl malonate, ethyl acetoacetate and ethyl cyanoacetate, respectively, with the aid of 1,8-diazabicyclo[5,4,0]undec-7-ene, piperidine, triethylamine or Na(2)CO(3). More interestingly, 1,4-bisadducts and were produced by the reaction of C(60) with diethyl malonate and dimethyl malonate in the presence of piperidine, triethylamine or Na(2)CO(3) under HSVM conditions. On the other hand, dihydrofuran-fused C(60) derivatives, and were obtained from the reaction of C(60) with ethyl acetoacetate, 2,4-pentanedione and 5,5-dimethyl-1,3-cyclohexanedione with the aid of a base. Under the same conditions, less activated aryl methyl ketones such as 2-acetylpyridine, 2-acetylpyrazine and acetophenone provided monocarbonylated methanofullerene derivatives, and. Except for the Bingel reactions, all other reactions under the HSVM conditions are considered to proceed according to a single-electron-transfer mechanism.     

Measurement of neutral sugars in glycoproteins as dansyl derivatives by automated high-performance liquid chromatography

Automated high-performance liquid chromatography was used to analyse dansylhydrazine derivatives of neutral sugars in unfractionated acid hydrolysates of four well-characterized glycoproteins: fetuin, ovalbumin, alpha-1-acid glycoprotein and bovine submaxillary mucin. After a simple single-step derivatization at 65 degrees C the sugar derivatives in protein hydrolysates chromatographed as single peaks on reversed-phase C18 columns. The isocratic solvent consisted of 20% (v/v) aqueous acetonitrile containing 0.01 M formic acid, 0.04 M acetic acid and 0.001 M triethylamine. The triethylamine significantly increases the sugar peak height at 254 nm. Repeated automatic sample injection without deterioration of column performance or interference from dansyl hydrazine is not possible with published methods, but was achieved by cleaning the column between each analysis with a solvent of 20% (v/v) acetonitrile and 80% (v/v) methanol. Hydrolysis with 2 M trifluoroacetic acid is superior to 2 M hydrochloric acid for both sugar recovery and convenience but must continue for 6-8 h at 105 degrees C to ensure complete sugar release. We confirmed that mannose is present in most preparations of human high-molecular-weight salivary glycoproteins, and also examined purified bovine skin proteodermatan sulphate. p-Nitrophenylhydrazine derivatives of neutral sugars are readily produced, but do not chromatograph as successfully as the dansyl derivatives while phenylhydrazine derivatives are not easily produced at 65 degrees C. Further development of the method should be possible by producing other hydrazine derivatives of neutral sugars.     

Structure and reactions of a thiazolino[3,2-a]pyrimidine carbinolamine

Ethyl 4-chloroacetoacetate condenses with 4-amino-6-hydroxy-2-pyrimidinethiol to yield ethyl 3-hydroxy-5-oxo-7-aminothiazolino[3,2-a]pyrimidin-3-acetate ( 3 ), and not ethyl 3-hydroxy-5-amino-7-oxothiazolino[3,2-a]-pyrimidin-3-acetate, as previously reported. This compound reacts with ammonia to produce ethyl 4-(6′-amino-4′-oxo-2′-pyrimidinethiol)-3-aminocrotonate ( 8 ), the open chain structure of which accounts for the cyclization of 3 to the poly-cyclic lactam, 6a-hydroxy-5,6,6a,7-tetrahydro-8-thia-1,4-diazacycl[3.3.2]azine-2,5-dione, rather than the sterically more favorable lactone, when 3 was treated with triethylamine. Some other reactions of 3 are described, and the structures of 3 and 8 were comfirmed by single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis.     

Versatile routes to C-2- and C-6-functionalized glucose derivatives of iminodiacetic acid

A series of novel d-glucose derivatives, functionalized at the C-2 or the C-6 position with an iminodiacetic acid moiety for transition-metal complexation, has been prepared. The sugar and the metal-chelating parts are separated by either propyl or octyl chains and were introduced by the reaction of bromoalkylamine. Either N-1-Boc-3-bromopropylamine (17) or N-(8-bromooctyl)phthalimide (19) reacted with methyl 3,5,6-tri-O-benzyl-alpha-beta-d-glucofuranoside (4) (C-2 position) and 1,2:3,5-(O-methylene)-alpha-d-glucose (11) (C-6 position), respectively, in the presence of sodium hydride in DMF at room temperature, affording the desired intermediates. For aminopropyl derivatives, yields varied between 57% and 65%, and for aminooctyl derivatives, yields varied between 40% and 71%. After deprotection of the amine functionality, the metal chelate was built up by dialkylation (6a-c and 13a,b) with methyl bromoacetate in the presence of triethylamine under reflux in THF. Yields varied between 56% and 69% for the glucose modified at the C-2 position and between 58% and 62% for the one modified at the C-6 position. All compounds were characterized by 1H or 13C NMR or both, IR, and mass spectroscopy. Final products were isolated as a mixture of alpha and beta anomers.     

Reactions of 2-sulfanylethanol with mucochloric acid and its derivatives

Mucochloric acid reacted with 2-sulfanylethanol in the presence of triethylamine to give 3-chloro-5-hydroxy-4-(2-hydroxyethylsulfanyl)furan-2(5H)-one which underwent acid-catalyzed cyclization to 7-chloro-2,3,4a,6-tetrahydrofuro[2,3-b][1,4]oxathiin-6-one. Likewise, reactions of 5-alkoxy-3,4-dichlorofuran-2(5H)-ones with 2-sulfanylethanol in the presence of triethylamine involved replacement of chlorine in position 4 of the furan ring with formation of the corresponding 4-(2-hydroxyethylsulfanyl) derivatives. The reaction of mucochloric acid with 2-sulfanylethanol in excess aqueous potassium hydroxide resulted in the formation of an acyclic product, 3-(2-hydroxyethylsulfanyl)-2-chloroprop-2-enoic acid. The structure of 7-chloro-2,3,4a,6-tetrahydrofuro[2,3-b][1,4]oxathiin-6-one and 3-(2-hydroxyethylsulfanyl)-2-chloroprop-2-enoic acid was proved by X-ray analysis.

Synthesis of 5-(6-Methyl-2,4-dioxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-3-pyrimidinyl)-methyl-4-amino-1,2,4-triazole-3-thione and its Reactions with Polyfunctional Electrophiles

Summary.  In the reaction of 5-(6-methyl-2,4-dioxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-3-pyrimidinyl)-methyl-1,3,4-oxadiazole-2-thione with hydrazine hydrate, 5-(6-methyl-2,4-dioxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-3-pyrimidinyl)-methyl-4-amino-1,2,4-triazole-3-thione was formed. The reactions of the latter with ethyl bromoacetate and chloroacetonitrile in the presence of triethylamine proceeded under formation of the corresponding S-alkylated derivatives, whereas from its reaction with ω-bromoacetophenone and ethyl 4-chloroacetoacetate triazolothiadiazines were obtained. Treatment of the title compound with ethyl 2-chloroacetoacetate led to the formation of 5-(6-methyl-2,4-dioxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-3-pyrimidinyl)-methyl-4-N-acetylamino-(3-ethoxy-carbonylmethylthio)-1,2,4-triazole. Performing of the latter reaction without basic catalyst gave a triazolothiadiazine. Treatment of the S-alkylated derivatives with sodium methoxide resulted in triazolothiadiazines via a cyclocondensation reaction. Received November 20, 2000. Accepted January 15, 2001

Thus, reaction of the bis(α‐bromoketones) 6 and 7 with the corresponding 4‐amino‐3‐mercapto‐1,2,4‐triazole derivatives 8 , 9 , 10 in ethanol–DMF mixture in the presence of a few drops of triethylamine as a catalyst under reflux afforded the novel bis(5,6‐dihydro‐s‐triazolo[3,4‐b]thiadiazines) 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 in 60–72% yields. The bis(quinoxalines) 16 and 17 were also synthesized as a sole product in high yields by the reaction of 6 and 7 with o‐phenylenediamine 15 in refluxing acetonitrile in the presence of piperidine as a catalyst. Cyclization of the bis(aldehyde thiosemicarbazones) 20 and 21 with acetic anhydride afforded the corresponding bis(4,5‐dihydro‐1,3,4‐thiadiazolyl) derivatives 24 and 25 in good yield. Bis(5‐phenyl‐2,3‐dihydro‐1,3,4‐oxadiazole) derivative 31 could be obtained in 67% yield by cyclization of the appropriate bis(N‐phenylhydrazone) 29 in refluxing acetic anhydride for 3 h.

Reactions of 1,3,5-tris(fluorosulfonyl)benzene with some nucleophilic reagents

The reactions of 1,3,5-tris(fluorosulfonyl)benzene 1 with nucleophilic agents were investigated. It was found that morpholine, β,β,β-trifluoroethanol in the presence of triethylamine and sodium azide formed corresponding 1,3,5-trisulfonyl derivatives. In contrast, nucleophiles such as aniline, thiourea, and potassium thiocyanate do not react with compound 1 even in excess and under moderate heating. The conditions for the selective fluorine atom substitution in one SO₂F group with morpholine, DMAP and aniline in the presence of triethylamine as well as in two SO₂F groups with DMAP were found. Anionic σ-complex of compound 1 with nitromethane was isolated as individual compound.
