Clip[5]arenes: A new family of molecular clips

Here we report the design and syntheses of two new triptycene-based rigid acyclic C-shaped hosts, clip[5]arenes C[5]OH and C[5]ME, and the strong host–guest complexation between C[5]OH and an electron-poor bipyridinium salt, paraquat G. The K_a value for the host–guest complex C[5]OH???G was calculated to be (1.09?±?0.36)??×??10⁵?M^?1 in acetone by using a non-linear curve-fitting method based on the UV–vis absorption titration experiments. Furthermore, based on this new host–guest recognition motif, a novel pseudopolyrotaxane-like supramolecular structure was constructed with C[5]OH threaded on polyviologen polymer VP-10.     

Nitroxydes—LXIV : Decomposition thermique de radicaux libres nitroxydes isoquinuclidiniques

Pyrolysis of 1,3,3-triméthyl-2-azabicyclo[2,2,2]octan-5-one-2-oxyl 5 leads to N-hydroxy-1,3,3-trimethyl-2-aza bicyclo[2,2,2]octan-5-one 6 and N-hydroxy-4,7,7-trimethyl-6-aza bicyclo[3,2,1]oct-3-ene-2-one 7. Under the same conditions, 1,3,3,7-anti-tetramethyl-2-aza bicyclo[2,2,2]octan-5-one-2-oxyl 9 leads to N-hydroxy-1,3,3,7-anti-tetraméthyl-2-aza bicyclo[2,2,2]octan-5-one 13 and N-hydroxy 4,5,7,7-tetramethyl-6-aza bicyclo[3,2,1]oct-3-ene-2-one 14, while 1,3,3,7-syn-tetramethyl-2-aza bicyclo[2,2,2]octan-5-one-1-oxyl 10 is stable. Kinetic studies show that the reaction proceeds by an autocatalytic process, probably involving an ionic mechanism.     

Synthesis,structure, and conformation of terphenylene-derived azacalix[4]aromatics

Several novel azacalix[4]aromatics constituting terphenylene units have been synthesized via sequential nucleophilic aromatic substitution reactions of 5′-t-butyl-(1,1′:3′,1″-terphenyl)-3,3″-diamine 9 and 5′-t-butyl-(1,1′:3′,1″-terphenyl)– 4,4″-diamine 11 with 1,5-difluoro-2,4-dinitrobenzene and cyanuric chloride, respectively. The bridging –NH– functions of the tetra-nitro substituted azacalix[2]arene[2]terphenylenes 1 and 2 have been transformed to the corresponding –N(CH₃)– bridged azacalix[2]arene[2]terphenylenes 3 and 4 via N-alkylation. Single crystal X-ray analysis revealed that the terphenyl-3,3″-diamine derived azacalix[2]terphenylene[2]triazine 5 adopts a distorted chair conformation in the solid state, and the terphenyl-4,4″-diamine derived azacalix[2]terphenylene[2]triazine 6 was found to adopt a 1,3-alternate conformation.

A series of novel 3-[5-(1H-indol-3-yl-methyl)-2-oxo-[1,3,4]oxadiazol-3-yl]propionitrile(5),3-[4- amino-3-(1H-indol-3-yl-methyl)-5-oxo-4,5-dihydro-[1,2.4]triazol-1-yljpropionitrile(6),3-[5-(1H- indol-3-yl-methyl)-2-thioxo-[1,3,4]oxadiazol-3-yl]propionitrile(7) and 3-[4-amino-3-(1H-indol-3-yl-methyl) -5-thioxo-4,5-dihydro-[1,2,4]triazol-l -yljpropionitrile(8) were synthesized in good yields from the intermediate(1H-indol-3-yl)-acetic acid N’-(2-cyanoethyl)hydrazide(4).The chemical structures of the newly synthesized compounds were elucidated by their IR,~1H NMR and MS.Further,all the compounds were screened for their antimicrobial activity against Gram-positive,Gram-negative bacteria and also tested their ability toward anti-inflammatory activity.     

Synthesis and pharmacological evaluation of 5-[2′-(1H-tetrazol-5-yl)-biphenyl-4-ylmethyl]-4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-thieno[3,2-c]pyridine derivatives as platelet aggregation inhibitors

One pot synthesis and characterization of new 5-[2′-(1H-tetrazol-5-yl)-biphenyl-4-ylmethyl]-4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-thieno[3,2-c]pyridines (3a–k) using amides (2a–k) were reported. The prepared 5-[2′-(1H-tetrazol-5-yl)-biphenyl-4-ylmethyl]-4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-thieno[3,2-c]pyridine (3a) is a bioisostere of 4′-(6,7-dihydro-4H-thieno [3,2-c]pyridin-5-ylmethyl)-biphenyl-2-carboxylic acid (1), having good in vivo antithrombotic activity compared with Clopidogrel. The new tetrazole derivatives (3a–k) were screened for their in vitro activity as platelet aggregation inhibitors.     

A novel route for the synthesis of benzo[b]thiepins

3,4 - Di(methoxycarbonyl) - 5 - pyrrolidinobenzo[b]thiepin 5 is synthesized by a [2+2]cycloaddition of 3 - pyrrolidinobenzo[b]thiephene 3 to dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate, with subsequent ring opening of the cyclobutene moiety in the intermediate 6,7-di(methoxycarbonyl)-5-pyrrolidino - 2 - thiabenzo[b]bicyclo[3.2.0]hepta - 3,6 - diene 4 (detectable by PMR spectroscopy at ?30°C). Hydrolysis of the pyrrolidino group in 5 affords 3,4 - di(methoxycarbonyl) - 5 - hydroxybenzo[b]thiepin 8. Peracid oxidation of 5 yields the corresponding 1,1-dioxide. The benzo[b]thiepins are thermally unstable and (depending on the substituents) either extrude sulphur or rearrange to a 4-mercapto-1-naphthol, probably via the thianorcaradiene as the intermediate. The kinetics of the latter reaction are discussed. On being irradiated, the benzo[b]thiepins isomerize to 2-thiabenzo[b]bicyclo[3.2.0]hepta-3,6-dienes.     

Studies on the syntheses of heterocyclic compounds—DLIX : A synthesis of benzocarbazole derivatives by thermolysis

A thermal reaction of indolylmagnesium bromide (5) with 1-cyano-4,5-dimethoxybenzocyclobutene (6) gave a mixture of 6-cyano-5a, 6,11,11a-tetrahydro-8,9-dimethoxy-5H-benzo [b] carbazole (8a) and 6-cyano-5a, 6, 11, 11a-tetrahydro-9-hydroxy-8-methoxy-5H-benzo [b] carbazole (10). Compound 8a was easily converted to 6-cyano-8, 9-dimethoxy-5H-benzo [b] carbazole (12) by dehydrogenation on 30% Pd-C.     

A regioselective 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition for the synthesis of novel spiro-chromene thiadiazole derivatives

A variety of 4′-(4-R-phenyl)-4-(methylthio)-2′-phenyl-2′H-spiro[chromene-2,5′-[1,2,3]thiadiazole] 5a–d and 5′-(4-R-phenyl)-4-(methylthio)-3′-phenyl-3′H-spiro[chromene-2,2′-[1,3,4]thiadiazole] 6a–d were synthesized regioselectively through the reaction of 4-(methylthio)-2H-chromene-2-thione 2 with diarylnitrilimines under refluxing dry chloroform. Whilst the reaction of 4-(allylthio)-2H-chromene-2-thione 3 with diarylnitrilimines under similar reaction conditions afforded the corresponding 4-(allylthio)-5′-(4-R-phenyl)-3′-phenyl-3′H-spiro[chromene-2,2′-[1,3,4]thiadiazole] 7a–d and 5-(4-R-phenyl)-2′-methyl-3-phenyl-2′,3′-dihydro-3H-spiro[[1,3,4]thiadiazole-2,4′-thieno[3,2-c]chromene] 9a–d as two unisolable diastereoisomeric forms. The structures of the obtained spiro cycloadduct thiadiazoles have been assigned by means of spectroscopic measurements.     

Force field-SCF calculations on cyclopropene intermediates in carbene rearrangements. Comparison with experiment

Heats of formation and geometries of benzocyclopropene, cyclopropa[b]naphthalene, bicyclo[4.1.0]hepta-2,4,7-triene, and benzannelated derivatives have been calculated with a combined force field-SCF program. The bicycloheptatrienes are stabilized relative to the isomeric arylcarbenes by benzannelation, and destabilized by loss of aromaticity and/or increased strain. 1-Naphthylcarbene, 2-naphthylcarbene, 9-phenanthrylcarbene and 9-anthrylcarbene were generated by gas-phase pyrolysis of the corresponding arene aldehyde tosylhydrazone sodium salts, diazomethanes, or 5-aryltetrazoles, and rearranged to cyclobuta[de]naphthalene (21), cyclobuta[jk]phenanthrene (33), and cyclobuta[de] anthracene (38), respectively. 10,11-Dihydrodibenzo[ad]cyclohepten-5-ylidene (15), similarly generated from 5-diazo-10,11-dihydro-5H-dibenzo [ad]cycloheptene(39), rearranged to 5a,9b-dihydro-5H-benzo[3,4]cyclobut[1,2-a] indene(40), 5H-dibenzo[ad]cycloheptene(41), and 8,9-dihydro-4H-cyclopenta[def]phenanthrene(44).40 rearranged thermally to 41. The mechanisms of the rearrangements are discussed.

Mecanisme de formation et de transformation des spirophosphoranes—IX: Reactions des spirophosphoranes a liaison PH avec les ethers vinyliques et les enamines

The reaction of 1,4,6,9-tetraoxa-5-phospha(V)spiro[4,4]nonane 1 with ethyl vinyl ether gives a spirophosphorane containing a PC bond, 5-(β-ethosyethyl)-1,4,6,9-tetra-oxa-5-phospha(V) spiro[4,4]nonane 2 (radical reaction), and a tricoordinated phosphorus compound, 2-(3,5-di-oxa-4-methylheptanoxyl)-1,3,2-dioxaphospholane 3 (ionic reaction). 2,2,3,3,7,7,9-Heptamethyl-1,4,6-trioxa-9-aza-5-phospha(V) spiro[4,4]nonane 6 gives exclusively a spirophosphorane containing a PC bond, 5(β-ethoxyethyl)-2,2,3,3,7,7,9-heptamethyl-1,4,6-trioxa-9-aza-5-phospha(V)spiro[4,4]nonane 7. The reaction of 1 with alcohol or ethyleneglycol and enamine yields a pentaoxyspirophosphorane and an amine by an oxidation-reduction condensation. Suggested mechanisms of these reactions are presented.     

Nitrenes-XV: 1-Hydroxymethyl-4,5-dimethoxy-7H-azirino[1,2-a]-indole-7a-carboxylic acid γ-lactone,a nitrene addition compound

Triethyl phosphite deoxygenation of α-(6-nitroveratrylidene)-γ-butyrolactone 1 under moderate conditions affords a mixture of 3-(6-nitroveratryl)-2(5H)-furanone 5, α-(6-ethylaminoveratrylidene)-γ-butyrolactone 6 and 1-hydroxymethyl-4,5-dimethoxy-7H-azirino[1,2-a]indole-7a-carboxylic acid γ-lactone 7, in addition to 3,4-dihydro-7,8-dimethoxy[1,3-a]oxazino[3,4-a]indol-1-one 2, ethyl 5,6-dimethoxyindole-2-carboxylate 3, and 2,3-dihydro-6,7-dimethoxyfuro[2,3-b]quinoline 4, obtained under more drastic reaction conditions.The isolation of lactones 5 and 7 provides strong evidence for the intermediacy of nitrenes in this reaction which appears to provide the first example of intramolecular aziridine formation from a nitro-aromatic compound and triethyl phosphite.     

The synthesis of annulated pyridazines by cycloaddition of azodicarboxylates to vinyl heterocycles

Reaction between 2-vinyl pyridine and azodicarboxylates 2 or 5 gives N,N'-disubstituted tetrahydropyrido[3,2-c]pyridazines 3 and 6, and dihydro-3H-pyrido[1,2-c]triazines 4 and 7; 2-(prop-1-en-1-yl)-pyridine 8 gives hydropyridopyridazines 10 and 11 but 2-(prop-1-en-2-yl)pyridine 9 gives mainly the ‘ene’ addition product 12. From 4-vinyl-pyridine and esters 2 or 5 diesters of tetrahydropyrido[3,4-c]pyridazine-1,2-dicarboxylic acid, 25 and 26 are obtained, and from 2-methyl-5-vinylpyridine both possible cyclisation products, the tetrahydro-pyrido[2,3-c]pyridazines 33 and 36, and -pyrido[4,3-c]pyridazines 34 and 37. The di-t-butyl esters 6, 11, 26, and 37 are quantitatively decarbalkoxylated in TFA, giving tetrahydropyridopyridazines 16, 18, 27, and 41; of these, the first three were oxidized to give pyrido[2,3-c]-pyridazine 15, its 3-methyl derivative 19, and pyrido[3,4-c]pyridazine 28 respectively. A dihydropyrido[4,3-c]-pyridazine 42 was obtained from compound 41. Thieno[2,3-c]-pyridazine 48 has been similarly prepared from 2-vinylthiophen, but 2-(prop-1-en-2-yl)thiophen gave an ene addition compound 51 and a dihydrothienopyridazine 50. Reactions with other vinylpyridines, and with vinylfurans, were unsuccessful.     

13C-NMR-spektren von spiro[2.4]hepta-(1,4,6)-trienen und -(4.6)-dienen

The ¹³C NMR spectra of [1.2]-spirenes 2 and spiro[2.4]hepta-(4.6)-dienes 5 are described and the effects of substituents are discussed. A bonding model of the [1.2]-spirenes 2 is derived on the basis of C-H coupling constants and calculated charge densities. The ¹³C NMR shifts of 1-aryl-spiro[2.4]hepta-(4.6)-dienes 6 show a good correlation with the Hammett σp constants of the substituents in p-position of the phenyl ring. Conclusions on spiroconjugation in [1.2]-spirenes 2 are drawn from comparing the ¹³C shifts of similar substituted [1.2]-spirenes and spiro[2.4]hepta-(4.6)-dienes. The spiroconjugation in [1.2]-, [2.2]- and [2.3]-spirenes 2, 3 and 4 is discussed comparing the calculated charge densities with the δ (¹³C) values, as well as the UV and p.e. spectra.     

Synthesis of novel chiral Schiff base and amino alcohol derivatives of calix[4]arene and chiral recognition properties

In the present study, the synthesis and liquid phase extraction properties towards some amino acid methylesters and amino alcohols of Schiff base and amino alcohol substituted calix[4]arene are reported. The Schiff base substituted calix[4]arene 5 has been synthesized via condensation reaction involving 5,17-diformyl-11,23-di-tert-butyl-25,27-di[3-(4-formylphenoxy)propoxy]-26,28 dihydroxycalix[4]arene 4 and (R)-(?)-2-phenylglycine methyl ester in CHCl₃:MeOH. To give the amino alcohol substituted calix[4]arene 6, the synthesized chiral compound 5 was reduced by LiAlH₄. The new chiral Schiff base and amino alcohol derivatives of calix[4]arene have been characterized by a combination of FT-IR, ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, FAB-MS and elemental analysis. Also, the extraction behaviors of 5 and 6 towards some selected amino acid methylesters and amino alcohols have been studied by liquid–liquid extraction.     

Transformations of halocyclopropanes—VII : Reactions of 7,7-dichlorobicyclo[4.1.0] heptane with carbanions

The reactions of 7,7-dichlorobicyclo[4.1.0] heptane 1 were carried out with C-H acids in the presence of t- BuOK in DMSO. The respective syn-7-chlorobicyclo[4.1.0] heptane derivatives 3 were the major products of the reactions with diethyl malonate and ethyl cyanoacetate. The dehydrochlorinated material α-bicyclo[4.1.0] hepten-5-yl-α-phenylpropionitrile 5c, was obtained in good yield in the reaction with α-phenylpropionitrile.     

Selective synthesis of bis[1,2]dithiolo[1,4]thiazines from 4-isopropylamino-5-chloro-1,2-dithiole-3-ones

Reaction of 4-isopropylamino-5-chloro-1,2-dithiole-3-ones 3 and S₂Cl₂ in acetonitrile gave selectively 3-oxo-bis[1,2]dithiolo[1,4]thiazine-5-thiones 1 by the addition of triethylamine and bis[1,2]dithiolo[1,4]thiazine-3,5-diones 5 under the action of formic acid. 3,5-Diones 5 were also obtained by intramolecular cyclization of N,N-bis(5-chloro-3-oxo[1,2]dithiol-4-yl)amines 6 with S₂Cl₂ in the presence of Et₃N.     

The syntheses,spectra, and some reactions of 2-phthalimidyl- and 2-phthalimidyl-4.5-dichloro-5-azabicyclo[2.1.0]pentane

Cyclobutene has been prepared by an improved method. The reaction ofN-aminophthalimide with cyclobutene or cis-3,4-dichlorocyclobutene in the presence of lead tetraacetate gives 2-phthalimidyl- (5) or 2-phthalimidyl-4,5-dichloro-5-azabicyclo[2.1.0]pentane (6), respectively. The NMR spectra of 6 showed the presence of exo (9) and endo (10) isomers. The effect of ring size on the chemical shift of the bridgehead hydrogen absorption in a series of azabicyclo[n.1.0]alkanes was examined. Several reactions of 5 and 6 and alternative syntheses of the azabicyclo[2.1.0]pentane system were investigated.     

Synthesis and characterization of a new pillar[5]arene-based [1]rotaxane

In this study, we reported the synthesis of three kinds of mono-functional pillar[5]arene derivatives PRI, PRII and R and their structures were studied by 1D and 2D NMR spectra and mass spectra. The 2D NMR spectra including ¹H-¹³C HSQC, ¹H-¹H COSY and NOESY spectra indicated that PRI and PRII are both stable self-included pseudo[1]rotaxanes in CDCl₃. These original structures are promising compounds for the design of pillar[5]-based [1]rotaxane. And the results showed that R could exist stable in CDCl₃ and DMSO because of the coordination of N-H?O hydrogen bonding interaction and C-H?π interaction.
