Studies on the reactions of cyclic oxalyl compounds with hydrazines or hydrazones : Synthesis and reactions of 4‐benzoyl‐1‐(3‐nitrophenyl)‐5‐phenyl‐1H‐pyrazole‐3‐carboxylic acid

The 1H‐pyrazole‐3‐carboxylic acid 2 , obtained from the furan‐2,3‐dione 1 and N‐Benzylidene‐N'‐(3‐nitrophenyl) hydrazine, was converted via reactions of its acid chloride 3 with various alcohols or N‐nucleo‐philes into the corresponding ester or amide derivatives 4 or 5 , respectively. Nitrile 6 and anilino‐pyrazole acid 7 derivatives of 2 were also obtained by dehydration of 5a in a mixture of SOCl₂ with DMF and reduction of 2 with sodium polysulphide, respectively. While cyclocondensation reactions of 2 or 7 with phenyl hydrazine or hydrazine hydrate and 6 with only anhydrous hydrazine lead to derivatives of pyrazolo[3,4‐d]‐pyridazinone 8 and pyrazolo[3,4‐d]pyridazine amine 9 , respectivel. The reaction of 2 with 2‐hydrazinopyri‐dine provided hydrazono‐pyrazole acid derivative 10 , which was decarboxylated to give hydrazono‐pyra‐zole derivative 11 . Pyrazolo[4,3‐d]oxazinone 12 and 2‐quinolyl pyrazolo[3,4‐d]pyridazine 13 derivatives were also prepared by cyclocondensation reactions of 2 with hydroxylamine hydrochloride and 7 with acetaldehyde, respectively.

Cycloadducts of 1‐Alkyl‐1,2‐diphospholes with N‐Phenylmaleimide: Synthesis,Structure, Oxidation,and Thionation Reactions

The [4+2] cycloaddition reaction of 1‐alkyl‐1,2‐diphospholes ( 1 ) with N‐phenylmaleimide proceeds at 25°С in toluene to give 1,7‐diphosphanorbornenes ( 2 ) as anti‐endo isomer only. Oxidation of 2 with air at room temperature or thionation with excess of sulfur at 80°С results in the formation of mixed valent P^III, P^V 7‐oxo(thia)‐1,7‐diphosphanorbornenes ( 3 , 4 ) in high yield. The polycyclic compounds 3 and 4 are air stable and have small sums of valence angles at the phosphorus atoms.     

Catalytic Asymmetric Synthesis of α‐Arylpyrrolidines and Benzo‐fused Nitrogen Heterocycles

Herein, we report a practical two‐step synthetic route to α‐arylpyrrolidines through Suzuki–Miyaura cross‐coupling and enantioselective copper‐catalyzed intramolecular hydroamination reactions. The excellent stereoselectivity and broad scope for the transformation of substrates with pharmaceutically relevant heteroarenes render this method a practical and versatile approach for pyrrolidine synthesis. Additionally, this intramolecular hydroamination strategy facilitates the asymmetric synthesis of tetrahydroisoquinolines and medium‐ring dibenzo‐fused nitrogen heterocycles.     

Polyfunctional fused heterocyclic compounds via indene‐1,3‐diones

2‐Dimethylaminomethylene‐ and 2‐ethoxymethylene‐1,3‐indendione 1a,b react with 6‐amino‐2‐thioxopyrimidin‐4(3H)‐one 2 in boiling acetic acid to give 2‐thioxo‐1,3‐dihydroindeno[3,2‐d]pyrimidino[4,5‐b]pyridine‐4,9‐dione ( 4 ).

Synthesis and Structure of a 1‐Phospha‐2‐boraacenaphthene Derivative and Its Chalcogenation Reactions

The first stable 1‐phospha‐2‐boraacenaphthene 1 was synthesized by the reduction of 1‐dimesitylboryl‐8‐dichlorophosphinonaphthalene ( 2 a ) with elemental magnesium, and it was fully characterized. The chalcogenation reaction of 1 with elemental sulfur or selenium afforded the unique heterocycles, 2‐thia‐ and 2‐selena‐1‐phospha‐3‐boraphenalenes 9 S and 9 Se , respectively, through the insertion of the chalcogen atom into a P?B bond of 1 . Further chalcogenation of 9 afforded the corresponding phosphine chalcogenides. These newly obtained chalcogenated compounds have been characterized. The unique dynamic behavior of 2‐chalcogena‐1‐phospha‐3‐boraphenalene‐1‐chalcogenides 10 in solution has also been described.     

Ferrocene compounds: methyl 1′‐aminoferrocene‐1‐carboxylate

The title compund, [Fe(C₅H₆N)(C₇H₇O₂)], features one strong intermolecular hydrogen bond of the type N—H...O=C [N...O = 3.028 (2) Å] between the amine group and the carbonyl group of a neighbouring molecule, and vice versa, to form a centrosymmetric dimer. Furthermore, the carbonyl group acts as a double H‐atom acceptor in the formation of a second, weaker, hydrogen bond of the type C—H...O=C [C...O = 3.283 (2) Å] with the methyl group of the ester group of a second neighbouring molecule at (x, −y − , z − ). The methyl group also acts as a weak hydrogen‐bond donor, symmetry‐related to the latter described C—H...O=C interaction, to a third molecule at (x, −y − , z + ) to form a two‐dimensional network. The cyclopentadienyl rings of the ferrocene unit are parallel to each other within 0.33 (3)° and show an almost eclipsed 1,1′‐conformation, with a relative twist angle of 9.32 (12)°. The ester group is twisted slightly [11.33 (8)°] relative to the cylopentadienyl plane due to the above‐mentioned intermolecular hydrogen bonds of the carbonyl group. The N atom shows pyramidal coordination geometry, with the sum of the X—N—Y angles being 340 (3)°.     

Synthesis of 1‐(4‐thiazolyl)azulenes: Reactions of bromoacetyl‐substituted azulenes with thioamides,thioureas, and thiosemicarbazones

1‐(Bromoacetyl)‐3‐methylazulene (1a) and methyl 3‐(bromoacetyl)azulene‐1‐carboxylate (1b) reacted with thioamides 3a,b and thioureas 3c,d in boiling ethanol to give the corresponding (4‐thiazolyl)azulenes 4a‐d and 5a‐d in good yields, respectively. The reactions of dibromoacetyl‐substituted azulene (2) also gave (4‐thiazolyl) azulenes 5a‐d in lower yields and the azulene 2 was recovered. By heating compounds 5a‐d in 100% phosphoric acid, the ester group was eliminated to yield 1‐(4‐thiazolyl)azulenes 6a‐d. Compounds 1a,b reacted with thiosemicarbazones 7a‐f to afford [(2‐alkylidenehydrazino)thiazol‐4‐yl]azulenes 8a‐f and 9a‐f in moderate to high yields via their hydromides.     

Synthesis and pharmacological properties of N‐substituted‐N′‐(4,6‐dimethylpyrimidin‐2‐yl)‐thiourea derivatives and related fused heterocyclic compounds

A series of new N‐Substituted‐N′‐(4,6‐dimethylpyrimidin‐2‐yl)‐thiourea derivatives ( 3a , 3b , 3c , 3d ) and related fused heterocyclic compounds ( 4a , 4b , 4c , 4d ) were synthesized using tetrabutylammonium bromide as phase transfer catalyst (PTC). N‐[(2E)‐5,7‐dimethyl‐2H‐[1,2,4] thiadiazolo [2,3‐a] pyrimidin‐2‐ylidene] derivatives ( 4a , 4b , 4c , 4d ) were prepared by oxidative cyclization of 3a , 3b , 3c , 3d . The structures of these novel compounds were characterized by IR, ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, mass spectrometry, and the elemental analysis. The crystal structures were determined from single crystal X‐ray diffraction data. The results indicated that the compounds possessed a broad spectrum of activity against the tested microorganisms and showed higher activity against fungi than bacteria. Compounds 3d and 3a exhibited the greatest antimicrobial activity. J. Heterocyclic Chem., 2011.     

Synthesis of 2‐Oxopyrrole‐fused 1,n‐Diazaheterocyclic Compounds and Substituted 2‐Oxopyrroles via a Three‐Component Reaction

An effective route to 2‐oxopyrrole‐fused 1,n‐diazaheterocyclic compounds and substituted 2‐oxopyrroles is described. This involves reaction of 1,n‐diamines or monoamines 1 and nitroketene dithioacetal (1,1‐di(methylthio)‐2‐nitroethene) in the presence of dialkyl acetylenedicarboxylate 2 in EtOH to give 2‐oxopyrrole derivatives 3 in good yields (Table 1). The structures were corroborated spectroscopically (IR, ¹H and ¹³C NMR, and EIMS) and by elemental analyses. A plausible mechanism for this type of cyclization is proposed (Scheme 1).     

Novel Synthesis of 2‐Alkylquinolizinium‐1‐olates and Their 1,3‐Dipolar Cycloaddition Reactions with Acetylenes

Several 2‐alkylquinolizinium‐1‐olates 9 , i.e., heterobetaines, were prepared from ketone 11 , the latter being readily available either from pyridine‐2‐carbaldehyde via a Grignard reaction, followed by oxidation with MnO₂, or from 2‐picolinic acid (=pyridine‐2‐carboxylic acid) via the corresponding Weinreb amide and subsequent Grignard reaction. Mesoionic heterobetaines such as quinolizinium derivatives have the potential to undergo cycloaddition reactions with double and triple bonds, e.g., 1,3‐dipolar cycloadditions or Diels? Alder reactions. We here report on the scope and limitations of cycloaddition reactions of 2‐alkylquinolizinium‐1‐olates 9 with electron‐poor acetylene derivatives. As main products of the reaction, 5‐oxopyrrolo[2,1,5‐de]quinolizines (=‘[2.3.3]cyclazin‐5‐ones’) 19 were formed via a regioselective [2+3] cycloaddition, and cyclohexadienone derivatives, formed via a Diels? Alder reaction, were obtained as side products. The structures of 2‐benzylquinolizinium‐1‐olate ( 9a ) and two ‘[2.3.3]cyclazin‐5‐ones’ 19i and 19l were established by X‐ray crystallography.     

Synthesis of trifluoromethyl‐1,2,4‐triazine‐ and trifluoromethylpyrimidine‐fused uracils
