Nitration of 2- and 4-[2-(2-furyl)vinyl]thiazole derivatives

Nitration of 4-methyl-2-[2-(nitro-2-furyl)vinyl]thiazole with a mixture of concentrated nitric and sulfuric acids leads to 4-methyl-5-nitro-2-[2-(3,5-dinitro-2-furyl)vinyl]thiazole. Under the same conditions 2-methyl- and 2-acetamido-4-[1-R-2-(5-nitro-2-furyl)vinyl]thiazoles (R=CH₃, Cl) are nitrated in the 3 position of the furan ring, 2-amino-4-[1-chloro-2-(5-nitro-2-furyl)vinyl]thiazole is nitrated in the 5 position of the thiazole ring and 2-acetamido-5-nitro-4-[2-(2-furyl)vinyl]thiazole undergoes profound changes. Under the influence of a mixture of of nitric acid and acetic anhydride the latter compound is converted quantitatively to the 5-nitro derivative (with respect to the furan ring), whereas 4-[2-(5-nitro-2-furyl)vinyl]thiazole derivatives do not undergo reaction.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 3, pp. 314–317, March, 1977.     

Thiocyanation, Halogenation, Dehalogenation, Transhalogenation, and Nitration of 2-Substituted 4-(2-Furyl)thiazoles

Bromination and thiocyanation of 2-amino- and 2-acetylamino-4-(2-furyl)thiazoles when 1 mol of reagent is used at 10°C are directed to the 5 position. Formation of 5'-bromo-substituted derivatives when the reaction temperature is raised is the result of a secondary, thermodynamically controlled process. Monohalogenation and mononitration of 4-(2-furyl)-2-methylthiazole are directed to the 5' position. Nitration of 2-acetylamino-4-(5-nitro-2-furyl)thiazole by a nitrating mixture is accompanied by oxidative cleavage of the 5-nitrofuran moiety and leads to formation of 5,5'- and 3',5'-dinitro derivatives.     

3-acyl-1,5-benzodiazepines in the reactions of 5,5-dimethyl-2-formylcyclohexane-1,3-dione with certain 1,2-diaminobenzenes

Reaction of 5,5-dimethyl-2-formylcyclohexane-1,3-dione with 4-methyl-, 4-benzoyl-, and 4-nitro-1,2-diaminobenzenes gave the corresponding 2-(2-amino-4-methylphenylaminomethylene)-, 2-(2-amino-5-benzoylphenylaminomethylene)-, and 2-(2-amino-5-nitrophenylaminomethylene)-5,5-dimethylcyclohexane-1,3-diones. When treated with hydrochloric acid, they cyclize to 7-methyl-, 8-benzoyl-, and 8-nitro-3,3-dimethyl-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-dibenzo[b,e][1,4]diazepinon hydrochlorides. Under hydrolytic conditions the salts of 3,3,7-trimethyl-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-dibenzo[b,e][1,4]diazepinone and 3,3-dimethyl-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-dibenzo[b,e][1,4]diazepinone undergo the C₁₁−N₁₀ bond cleavage to give N-(2-aminophenyl)- and N-(2-amino-5-methylphenyl)-substituted 3-amino-2-formyl-5,5-dimethylcyclohex-2-enones. Ring opening of the hydrochlorides of 8-benzoyl-, and 3,3-dimethyl-8-nitro-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-dibenzo[b,e][1,4]diazepinones occurs at the C−N₅ bond and gives the starting enamines.

Reduction of 3β-hydroxy-5-pregnen-20-one oxime ( 2 ) with LiAlH₄ in tetrahydrofuran yielded 20α-amino-5-pregnen-3β-ol ( 1 ), 20β-amino-5-pregnen-3β-ol ( 3 ), 20β, 21-imino-5-pregnen-3β-ol ( 6 ) and 20β, 21-imino-5-pregnen-3β-ol ( 9 ). The aziridines 6 and 9 were separated via the acetyl derivatives 7 and 10 . The reaction of 6 and 9 with CS₂ gave 5-(3β-hydroxy-5-androsten-17β-yl)-thiazolidine-2-thione ( 8 ). Treatment of the 20-oximes 12 and 15 of the corresponding 9β,10α(retro)-pregnane derivatives with LiAlH₄ gave the aziridines 13 and 16 , respectively. Their deamination led to the diene 14 and triene 17 , respectively. Reduction of isobutyl methyl ketone-oxime with LiAlH₄ in tetrahydrofuran yielded 2-amino-4-methyl-pentane ( 19 ) as main product, 1, 2-imino-4-methyl-pentane ( 22 ) as second product and the epimeric 2,3-imino-4-methyl-pentanes 20 and 21 as minor products. – 3β-Hydroxy-5-pregnen-20-one oxime ( 2 ) was transformed by methylmagnesium iodide in toluene to 20α, 21-imino-20-methyl-5-pregnen-3β-ol ( 23 ) and 20β, 21-imino-20-methyl-5-pregnen-3β-ol ( 26 ). Acetylation of these aziridines was accompanied by elimination reactions leading to 3β-acetoxy-20-methylidene-21-N-acetylamino-5-pregnene ( 30 ) and 3β-acetoxy-20-methyl-21-N-acetylamino-5,17-pregnadiene ( 32 ). The reaction of oxime 2 with ethylmagnesium bromide in toluene gave 20α, 21-imino-20-ethyl-5-pregnen-3β-ol ( 24 ) and 20α,21-imino-20-ethyl-5-pregnen-3β-ol ( 27 ). Acetylation of 24 and 27 led to 3β-acetoxy-20-ethylidene-21-N-acetylamino-5-pregnene ( 31 ), 3β-acetoxy-20-ethyl-21-N-acetylamino-5,17-pregnadiene 33 and 3β, 20-diacetoxy-20-ethyl-21-N-acetylamino-5-pregnene ( 37 ). With phenylmagnesium bromide in toluene the oxime 2 was transformed to 20β, 21-imino-20-phenyl-5-pregnen-3β-ol ( 25 ) and 20β,21-imino-20-phenyl-5-pregnen-3β-ol ( 28 ). Acetylation of 25 and 28 yielded 3β-acetoxy-20-phenyl-21-N-acetylamino-5, 17-pregnadiene ( 34 ) and 3β,20-diacetoxy-20-phenyl-21-N-acetylamino-5-pregnene ( 39 ). LiAlH₄-reduction of 39 gave 3β, 20-dihydroxy-20-phenyl-21-N-ethylamino-5-pregnene ( 41 ). – The 20, 21-aziridines are stable to LiAlH₄. Consequently they are no intermediates in the formation of the 20-amino derivatives obtained from the oxime 2 .

On the other hand, addition of hydrochloric acid to an aqueous mixture of sodium nitrite and 1-methyl-5-amino-4-pyrazolecarboxamide gave, at high temperature (? 100°), 1-methyl-5-nitro-4-pyrazolecarboxylic acid and at low temperature (? 0°), 1-methyl-5-nitrosamino-4-pyrazolecarboxylic acid.     

Synthetic routes towards tetrazolium and triazolium dinitromethylides

Tetrazolium-5-dinitromethylide sodium salt has been prepared (91%) by cyclization of 1-amino-1-hydrazino-2,2-dinitroethene with nitrous acid in water. 5-Imino-1-(hydroxyiminonitromethyl) derivatives were obtained by nitration of 2-(5-amino-1,3-dimethyl-1H-1,2,4-triazol-4-ium-4-yl)- and 2-(5-amino-4-methyl-1H-tetrazolium-1-yl)acetate complex salts. Treatment of 4-methyl-1-(2-oxopropyl)-1-tetrazolium methylsulfate with nitric and sulfuric acid gave methyl (3-nitro-1,2,4-oxadiazol-5-yl)amine (27%) probably via dinitromethylide followed by cyclization and loss of nitrogen.__________Published in Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 1, pp. 127–134, January, 2005.
