Synthesis of New Amides of Isoxazole- and Isothiazole-Substituted Carboxylic Acids Containing an Arylaminopyrimidine Fragment

By acylation of substituted 2-aminoarylpyrimidines with 5-phenyl(p-tolyl)isoxazole- and 4,5-dichloroisothiazole-3-carbonyl chlorides new amides of pyrimidine series were obtained.     

Synthesis of Azaheterocyclic Cymantrene Derivatives

The reduction of acetylcymantrene with sodium tetrahydridoborate gave cymantrenylethanol which was acylated with 4,5-dichloroisothiazole- and 5-(4-methylphenyl)isoxazole-3-carbonyl chlorides to obtain esters containing a 1,2-thia(oxa)zole fragment. The condensation of acetylcymantrene with 5-arylisoxazole-3- carbaldehydes, (5-arylisoxazol-3-yl)methoxybenzaldehydes (Ar = Ph, 4-Tol), and 4,5-dichloroisothiazole-3- carbaldehyde afforded the corresponding (E)-3-(azol-3-yl)-1-cymantrenylprop-2-en-1-ones. The resulting α,β- unsaturated ketones reacted with semicarbazide hydrochloride and thiosemicarbazide to produce substituted 4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazole-1-carboxamides and -1-carbothioamides, and their reaction with hydroxylamine hydrochloride led to the formation of 4,5-dihydroisoxazoles containing cymantrene and 1,2-azole fragments. Heterocyclization of azolylcymantrenylpropenones with guanidine gave 2-aminopyrimidine derivatives, and dihydropyrimidine-2-thiones were obtained by their reaction with thiourea.     

Synthesis of Fluorine-Containing Derivatives of 5-Arylisoxazoles and 4,5-Dichlorothiazole

Alkylation of fluorophenols and phenolic aldehydes with 5-phenyl(p-tolyl)-3-chloromethylisoxazole under the Williamson reaction conditions afforded the corresponding ethers. Condensation of the resulting phenolic aldehyde derivatives and 5-phenyl(p-tolyl)isoxazole-3-carbaldehydes with p-fluoroaniline resulted in fluorine-containing azomethines. Acylation of fluorinated amines with 5-(p-tolyl)isoxazole- and 4,5- dichloroisothiazole-3-carbonyl chlorides gave rise to fluorinated amides bearing isoxazole and isothiazole fragments, representatives of which showed a synergistic effect in compositions with insecticides.     

Synthesis and some reactions of aryl 4,5-dichloroisothiazol-3-yl ketones

By acylation of benzene, toluene, and p-xylene with 4,5-dichloroisothiazole-3-carbonyl chloride the corresponding aryl 4,5-dichloroisothiazol-3-yl ketones were obtained. By reaction of 4,5-dichloroisothiasol-3-yl 4-methylphenyl ketone with piperidine, alkyl(aryl) thiolates, sodium alcoholates, and 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine were synthesized 4-methylphenyl 5-piperidyl-4-chloroisothiazol-3-yl ketone, 5-alkyl(aryl)sulfanyl-4-chloroisothiazol-3-yl 4-methylphenyl ketones, 5-alkoxy-4-chloroisothiazol-3-yl 4-methylphenyl ketones, and 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazone of the initial ketone respectively.     

Functional Derivatives of Ethyl 4-(Chloromethyl)-2,6-dimethylpyridine-3-carboxylate

The condensation of ethyl 4-(chloromethyl)-2,6-dimethylpyridine-3-carboxylate with substituted phenols in ethanol in the presence of potassium carbonate afforded the corresponding aryl pyridin-4-ylmethyl ethers. Analogous condensation with substituted anilines gave 2-aryl-4,6-dimethyl-1,2-dihydropyrrolo[3,4-c]- pyridin-3-ones. Esters containing 1,2-azole fragments were synthesized by acylation of hydroxymethylsubstituted ethers with 5-arylisoxazole- and 4,5-dichloroisothiazole-3-carbonyl chlorides.     

Synthesis of esters of metallocene alcohols and 4,5-dichloroisothiazol-3-carboxylic and 5-arylisoxazole-3-carboxylic acids

Acylation of alkyl- and 1,1′-dialkylferrocene alcohols and diols as well as (3,4,4-trichlorobut-3-ene-1-ol-1-yl)-4,5-cymantrene with dichloroisothiazole- and 5-arylisoxazole-3-carbonyl chlorides has afforded esters containing 1,2-azoles fragments. Some of the obtained compounds have exhibited potentiating action in the binary mixtures with insecticides.     

Quinine Esters with 1,2-Azole,Pyridine and Adamantane Fragments

An efficient method of producing quinine derivatives via reaction of acylation with 4,5-dichloroisothiazole-3-, 5-arylisoxazole-3-, adamantane- and hydrochlorides of pyridine-3- and pyridine-4-carbonyl chlorides was developed. All synthesized compounds were tested for antiviral, antimicrobial and analgesic activity. The most pronounced antibacterial activity was shown by the compounds 2e, 3b, 3c and 3e with isoxazole and pyridine fragments. It was found that most of the tested compounds showed significant analgesic activity reducing the pain response of animals to the irritating effect of acetic acid.     

Synthetic studies related to diketopyrrolopyrrole (DPP) pigments. Part 3: Syntheses of tri- and tetra-aryl DPPs

Novel synthetic methodologies leading towards 2,3,5-triaryl- and 2,3,5,6-tetraaryl-2,5-dihydropyrrolo[3,4-c]pyrrole-1,4-diones (tri- and tetra-aryl-DPPs) and their derivatives have been investigated. Direct arylation of 3,6-diphenyl-DPP was possible using 1-fluoro-2,4-dinitrobenzene. Acylation of ethyl 2-aryl-4,5-dihydro-5-oxopyrrole-3-carboxylates with N-arylbenzimidoyl chlorides in the presence of a strong base gives the novel 2,3,6-triaryl-DPPs together with the corresponding uncyclised enamines. A new and simple method for the synthesis of ethyl 1,2-diaryl-4,5-dihydro-5-oxopyrrole-3-carboxylates has led to an alternative route to triaryl-DPPs via reaction with benzonitrile under basic conditions, and combination of this with the benzimidoyl chloride methodology has enabled the synthesis of variously substituted 2,3,5,6-tetraphenyl-DPPs.     

Synthesis of functional derivatives of aryl trichlorovinyl (trichloroallyl) ketones via consecutive transformations of the carbonyl group

An efficient procedure have been developed for the selective reduction of the carbonyl group in phenyl trichlorovinyl ketone and aryl trichloroallyl ketones by the action of NaBH₄ in propan-2-ol to obtain the corresponding alcohols. The hydroxy group in the latter was converted into amino by the Ritter reaction. Treatment of the alcohols and amines with 5-phenylisoxazole-3-carbonyl chloride and 4,5-dichloroisothiazole-3-carbonyl chloride gave the corresponding esters and amides, and condensation of the amines with aromatic aldehydes afforded Schiff bases.     

Synthesis of 4,5-dichloro-3-cyanoisothiazole and its functional derivatives

By treating with phosphorus pentoxide the 4,5-dichloroisothiazole-3-carboxamide 4,5-dichloro-3-cyanoisothiazole was synthesized whose reactions with piperidine, phenyl-and benzylthiols occurred with replacement of the chlorine atom in the position 5 by the residue of the corresponding nucleophile. Reactions with sodium thiobytylate and also with sodium methylate in methanol led to the formation both of the products of chlorine substitution by BuS or MeO groups respectively and of addition products of methanol to the cyano group. The reaction of butanethiol with cyanoisothiazole in 2-propanol in the presence of sodium 2-propylate was more selective and resulted in the replacement of the chlorine atom in the position 5 by the residue of the butanethiol.     

Synthesis of heterocycles from arylation products of unsaturated compounds: XVIII. 5-Arylfuran-2-carboxylic acids and their application in the synthesis of 1,2,4-thiadiazole, 1,3,4-oxadiazole,and [1,2,4]triazolo[3,4-<Emphasis Type="Italic">b</Emphasis>][1,3,4]thiadiazole derivatives

Arylation of furan-2-carboxylic acid or its methyl ester with arenediazonium chlorides in the presence of copper(II) chloride gave the corresponding 5-arylfuran-2-carboxylic acids or methyl 5-arylfuran-2-carboxylates. 5-Arylfuran-2-carbonyl chlorides reacted with potassium thiocyanate and then with 5-methyl-1,2-oxazol-3-amine to give 5-aryl-N-[3-(2-oxopropyl)-1,2,4-thiadiazol-5-yl]furan-2-carboxamides as a result of recyclization of intermediate isoxazolylthiourea derivatives. The reactions of 5-arylfuran-2-carbonyl chlorides with 5-(2-furyl)-1H-tetrazole involved opening of the tetrazole ring with elimination of nitrogen molecule and led to the formation of 2-(5-arylfuran-2-yl)-5-(2-furyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazoles. 3-Substituted 6-(5-arylfuran-2-yl)-[1,2,4]triazolo[3,4-b][1,3,4]thiadiazoles were obtained by condensation of 5-arylfuran-2-carboxylic acids with 5-substituted 4-amino-4H-1,2,4-triazole-3-thiols in phosphoryl chloride.     

Reaction of 1-bromovinyl and 1-bromo-2-phenylvinyl sulfones with some CH acids

Benzyl, methyl, and phenyl α-bromovinyl sulfones reacted with malononitrile and dimethyl malonate sodium enolates in THF to give sulfonyl-substituted cyclopropanes. Reactions of the same sulfones with methyl acetoacetate sodium enolate afforded the corresponding sulfonyl-substituted cyclopropanes as mixtures of cis and trans isomers with a small impurity of 5-sulfonyl-4,5-dihydrofuran derivative. Phenyl and p-tolyl 1-bromo-2-phenylvinyl sulfones reacted with methyl acetoacetate sodium salt to produce a mixture of trans-isomeric 5-sulfonyl-4,5-dihydrofuran and Michael adduct of the CH acid with activated acetylene generated by concurrent 1,2-dehydrobromination of the initial α-bromovinyl sulfone.

Reaction of β-halogeno-α-tosyl-substituted N-alkylureas with sodium enolates of β-oxoesters proceeds predominantly via nucleophilic substitution of the halogen rather than the tosyl group followed by spontaneous cyclization to give ethyl 5-ureido-4,5-dihydrofuran-3-carboxylates. The latter are transformed into ethyl N-carbamoylpyrrole-3-carboxylates under acidic conditions.     

Synthesis of new ferrocene derivatives with a 4,5-dichloroisothiazole fragment

Conjugates of ferrocene and 4,5-dichloroisothiazole were synthesized, where the ferrocene and isothiazole moieties are linked through various structural fragments. The acylation of ferrocene with 4,5- dichloroisothiazole-3-carbonyl chloride gave (4,5-dichloroisothiazol-3-yl) ferrocenyl ketone; the acylation of aminomethylferrocene furnished the corresponding amide. The esterification of ferrocene-1,1′-dicarboxylic acid with 4,5-dichloroisothiazol-3-yl-methanol resulted in the formation of the corresponding ester. The condensation of 1,1′-diacetylferrocene with 4,5-dichloroisothiazole-3-carbaldehyde afforded ferrocenophane containing 4,5-dichloroisothiazole moieties.     

Synthesis of new 4-amino-5-(1,4-benzodioxan-2-yl)-4<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>-1,2,4-triazole-3-thiol derivatives

Acylation and cyclization reactions of 4-amino-5-(1,4-benzodioxan-2-yl)-4H-1,2,4-triazole-3-thiol were studied. Acylation of the title compound with substituted benzoyl chlorides gave the corresponding amides, whereas its reactions with substituted benzoic acids in the presence of POCl3 were accompanied by cyclization with formation of triazolothiadiazoles containing a 1,4-benzodioxane substituent. 4-Amino-5-(1,4-benzodioxan-2-yl)-4H-1,2,4-triazole-3-thiol reacted with substituted benzaldehydes to afford the corresponding Schiff bases, and its alkylation with chloroacetic acid in ethanol in the presence of sodium acetate gave S-ethoxycarbonylmethyl derivative.     

Five-membered 2,3-dioxo heterocycles: LIV. Double spiro heterocyclization of methyl 1-aryl-3-benzoyl-4,5-dioxo-4,5-dihydro-1<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>-pyrrole-2-carboxylates with 3-arylamino-5,5-dimethylcyclohex-2-en-1-ones

Methyl 1-aryl-3-benzoyl-4,5-dioxo-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrrole-2-carboxylates reacted with 3-arylamino-5,5-dimethylcyclohex-2-en-1-ones in boiling benzene to give the corresponding 1,1′-diaryl-3′-benzoyl-4′-hydroxy-6,6-dimethyl-1,1′,2,4,5,5′,6,7-octahydrospiro[indole-3,2′-pyrrole]-2,4,5′-triones and 1′-aryl-4-arylamino-3-benzoyl-6′,6′-dimethyl-1′,2′,4′,5′,6′,7′-hexahydro-5H-spiro[furan-2,3′-indole]-2′,4′,5-triones whose structure was proved by X-ray analysis.     

Facile one-pot preparation of 5-aryltetrazoles and 3-arylisoxazoles from aryl bromides

The successive treatment of aryl bromides with n-BuLi, DMF, hydroxylamine hydrochloride, and finally diphenylphosphoryl azide provided efficiently the corresponding 5-aryltetrazoles in good to moderate yields. Similarly, the successive treatment of aryl bromides with n-BuLi, DMF, hydroxylamine hydrochloride, and finally diethyl acetylenedicarboxylate and Oxone^® provided efficiently the corresponding diethyl 3-arylisoxazole-4,5-dicarboxylates in good to moderate yields. Aromatic aldoximes are the key intermediates in both reactions, and 5-aryltetrazoles and 3-arylisoxazoles could be obtained from aryl bromides in one pot under transition-metal-free conditions.     

Synthesis of new modified aza heterocycles on the basis of 5-(2-chloro-1-nitroalkyl)-3-phenyl-and 5-(2-chloro-1-nitroalkyl)-3-methyl-1,2,4-oxadiazoles

3-Phenyl-and 3-methyl-5-(2-chloro-1-nitroalkyl)-1,2,4-oxadiazoles reacted with piperidine, pyrrolidine, and morpholine to give the corresponding 5-(2-amino-1-nitroalkyl) derivatives, while their reactions with sodium p-toluenesulfinate led to the formation of 2-[3-methyl(or phenyl)-1,2,4-oxadiazol-5-yl]-2-nitroethyl p-tolyl sulfones.     

Photochemical studies on η5-cyclopentadienyl(triphenylphosphine)nickelalkyl and -aryl compounds

Photo-induced degradation studies of a series of organonickel complexes of the type (η⁵-C₅H₅)(PPh₃)Ni(R) (R = CH₃, C₂H₅, C₆H₅ and C₆H₄CH₃-p) as well as certain deuterated analogs have been undertaken. Photolysis of the methyl compounds in benzene as well as benzene-d₆ gives methane as the major gaseous product, the photogenerated methyl group abstracting hydrogen from either the cyclopentadienyl ring, from the solvent, or from another methyl group. The photo-induced dealkylation of the ethyl compound gives both ethylene and ethane, and is explained by β-hydride elimination followed by subsequent reaction of the hydrido intermediate with additional ethyl compound. The photolysis of the phenyl and p-tolyl complexes in benzene solution leads to biaryl formation, both from the coupling of two coordinated aryl groups as well as interactions with the solvent. Triphenylphosphine is a product in all of these photo-decomposition studies.     

New Chiral Diamines of the Dioxolane Series: (+)-(4S,5S)-2,2-Dimethyl-4,5-bis(diphenylaminomethyl)- 1,3-dioxolane and (+)-(4S,5S)-2,2-Dimethyl-4,5-bis(methyl- aminomethyl)-1,3-dioxolane

The reaction of sodium diphenylamide with 2,2-dimethyl-4,5-bis(tosyloxymethyl)-1,3-dioxolane gave (+)-(4S,5S)-2,2-dimethyl-4,5-bis(diphenylaminomethyl)-1,3-dioxolane, which was brought into complex formation with cobalt chloride. Treatment of 2,2-dimethyl-4,5-bis(tosyloxymethyl)-1,3-dioxolane with sodium N-methylanilide resulted in cleavage of the SÄO bond in the p-toluenesulfonate moiety with formation of N-methyl-N-phenyl-p-toluenesulfonamide and 4,5-bis(hydroxymethyl)-2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxolane disodium salt. Diethyl (4R,5R)-2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxolane-4,5-dicarboxylate reacted with methylamine to give the corresponding dicarboxamide which was reduced with lithium aluminum hydride to (4S,5S)-2,2-dimethyl-4,5-bis(methylaminomethyl)-1,3-dioxolane having chiral carbon and nitrogen atoms.
