Synthesis of 4-(2-hydroxy-1-methyl-5-oxo-1H-imidazol-4(5H)-ylidene)-5-oxo-1-aryl-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrrole-3-carboxylates, a new triazafulvalene system

(2E,3Z)-2-(1-Methyl-2,5-dioxoimidazolidin-4-ylidene)-3-[(arylamino- or heteroarylamino)methylene]succinate 5 obtained by [2+2] cycloaddition of (5Z)-5-[(dimethylamino)methylene]-3-methylimidazolidine-2,4-dione (1) and dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate (2) followed by substitution of the dimethylamino group with aromatic or heteroaromatic amines, afforded by heating in ethanol in the presence of potassium hydroxide, potassium salts 6. Acidification of 6 with hydrochloric acid afforded mixtures of (E)- and (Z)-isomers of methyl 4-(2-hydroxy-1-methyl-5-oxo-1H-imidazol-4(5H)-ylidene)-5-oxo-1-phenyl-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrrole-3-carboxylates. On the other hand, alkylation of compounds 6 with methyl iodide or benzyl bromide produced the corresponding methyl (E)-4-(2-methoxy- or 2-benzyloxy-1-methyl-5-oxo-1H-imidazol-4(5H)-ylidene)-5-oxo-1-phenyl-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrrole-3-carboxylates 9, derivatives of a new triazafulvalene system.

Structure and tautomerism of 4-bromo substituted 1H-pyrazoles

The tautomerism in the solid state and in solution of five 4-bromo-1H-pyrazoles has been studied by multinuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and, for one of them, by X-ray crystallography (3,4-dibromo-5-phenyl-1H-pyrazole). When there is a bromine atom at position 3(5), in all cases, the tautomer present in the solid state is the 3-bromo one. In solution, the same tautomer is the major one. DFT calculations justify the predominance of 3-bromo tautomers over 5-bromo ones and provide some useful chemical shifts obtained through GIAO calculations.     

Efficient syntheses of ethyl 4-cyano-5-hydroxy-2-methyl-1H-pyrrole-3-carboxylate and ethyl (2Z)-(4-cyano-5-oxopyrrolidin-2-ylidene)ethanoate

Ethyl 2-chloroacetoacetate and its 4-chloro isomer react with cyanoacetamide in the presence of the mild, nonnucleophilic base, triethylamine under stoichiometric conditions to give high yields of ethyl 4-cyano-2-hydroxy-2-methyl-5-oxopyrrolidine-3-carboxylate and ethyl (4-cyano-2-hydroxy-5-oxopyrrolidin-2-yl)acetate, respectively. These, under acid-catalyzed dehydration conditions, afforded ethyl 4-cyano-5-hydroxy-2-methyl-1H-pyrrole-3-carboxylate and ethyl (2Z)-(4-cyano-5-oxopyrrolidin-2-ylidene)ethanoate, respectively. Similarly, the 4-chloro isomer reacted with ethyl cyanoacetate to give the novel product, diethyl 2-cyano-4-oxohexanedioate. The use of triethylamine enables access to a whole new library of pyrrole derivatives from easily accessible, commercially available starting materials. The reactions described in this Letter enable access to libraries of important pyrrole systems in any of the isotopically enriched forms.     

Synthesis and tautomeric structure of 2-[N-aryl-2-oxo-2-arylethanehydrazonoyl]-6-methyl-4(3H)-pyrimidinones

Two series of 2-(N-aryl-2-oxo-2-arylethanehydrazonoyl)-6-methyl-4(3H)-pyrimidinones 11 (12) were prepared by coupling of diazotized anilines with 2-(aroylmethylene)-1,2-dihydro-6-methyl-4(3H)-pyrimidinones 2 (3). The spectral data of such compounds together with their 3-methyl analogs 13 (14) indicated that they exist predominantly in the hydrazone tautomeric form.     

A GIAO/DFT study of 1H, 13C and 15N shieldings in amines and its relevance in conformational analysis

The 1H, 13C and 15N absolute shieldings of 13 amines were calculated at the GIAO/B3LYP/6-311++G** level. For some compounds (ethylamine, piperidine and 1-methylpiperidine) two conformations were calculated. The 13C and 15N data could be correctly correlated with experimental chemical shifts, allowing the conformation of 1-methylpiperidine to be established. The 1H NMR absolute shieldings, although less well correlated with delta values, were used to account for the anisotropy effects of the N lone pair.     

Syntheses and DFT/GIAO/NMR Study of Polyhedral Selenaboranes: The First Selenahexaborane(5) closo‐1‐SeB5Cl5

The six‐vertex closo‐1‐SeB₅Cl₅ ( 1 ) and the 12‐vertex closo‐1‐SeB₁₁Cl₁₁ ( 2 ) selenaboranes were prepared in low yields from the co‐pyrolysis reaction of B₂Cl₄ with Se₂Cl₂ at 330 °C. Both compounds are sublimable, colorless solids and were tentatively characterized by ¹¹B NMR and high‐resolution mass spectroscopy. DFT/GIAO/NMR calculations support octahedral and icosahedral arrangements for 1 and 2 , respectively, as expected due to their closo electron counts. Compound 1 represents the first example of a polyhedral selenaborane with a cluster size smaller than 10 vertices.     

Statistical analysis of (13)C and (15)N NMR chemical shifts from GIAO/B3LYP/6-311 + + G** calculated absolute shieldings

The (13)C and (15)N absolute shieldings of 28 compounds have been calculated at the GIAO/B3LYP/6-311 + + G** level to complete a collection of data already published. This has allowed us to devise new equations relating delta and sigma for these nuclei based on 461 points ((13)C) and 70(72) points ((15)N).     

1H and 13C NMR studies of 2-functionalized 5-(methylsulfonyl)-1-phenyl-1H-indoles

The 1H and 13C NMR resonances of thirty 2-functionalized 5-(methylsulfonyl)-1-phenyl-1H-indoles were assigned completely and unequivocally using the concerted application of one- and two-dimensional experiments (DEPT, gs-HMQC and gs-HMBC). Finally, the influence of the 2-substituent of 5-(methylsufonyl)-1-phenyl-1H-indoles on the carbon atoms of the indole moiety was estimated.

13C and 1H NMR analysis of the nitration products of 2-amino-4-oxo-(3H)-5-trifluoromethylquinazoline and 2-amino-4-oxo-(3H)-5-fluoroquinazoline

Nitration of 2-amino-4-oxo-(3H)-5-trifluoromethylquinazoline is shown to occur exclusively at C⁶ as determined from an analysis of long range ¹H and ¹⁹F scalar couplings to ring carbons. Nitration of 2-amino-4-oxo-(3H)-5-fluoroquinazoline is found to occur both at C⁶ and C⁸ as evident from an analysis of the ¹⁹F and ¹H couplings of the ring protons.     

Substituent effects on 13C chemical shifts of ketenimines: a GIAO/HF and DFT study

GIAO/HF and DFT methods were utilized to predict the ¹³C chemical shifts of substituted ketenimines. GIAO HF/6–311+G(2d,p) and B3LYP/6–311+G(2d,p) methods were applied on the optimized B3LYP/6–31G(d) geometries and ¹³C chemical shifts of C_α and C_β of substituted ketenimines were correlated with group electronegativities. HF and DFT calculations indicated that increasing substituent group electronegativity leads to increasing chemical shift of C_β of substituted ketenimines, whereas the C_α values decrease.

1H NMR spectra of alcohols and diols in chloroform: DFT/GIAO calculation of chemical shifts

Proton nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) shifts of aliphatic alcohols in chloroform have been computed on the basis of density functional theory, the solvent being included by the integral‐equation‐formalism polarisable continuum model of Gaussian 09. Relative energies of all conformers are calculated at the Perdew, Burke and Ernzerhof (PBE)0/6‐311+G(d,p) level, and NMR shifts by the gauge‐including atomic orbital method with the PBE0/6‐311+G(d,p) geometry and the cc‐pVTZ basis set. The 208 computed CH proton NMR shifts for 34 alcohols correlate very well with the experimental values, with a gradient of 1.00 ± 0.01 and intercept close to zero; the overall root mean square difference (RMSD) is 0.08 ppm. Shifts for CH protons of diols in chloroform are well correlated with the theoretical values for (isotropic) benzene, with similar gradient and intercept (1.02 ± 0.01, ?0.13 ppm), but the overall RMSD is slightly higher, 0.12 ppm. This approach generally gives slightly better results than the CHARGE model of Abraham et al. The shifts of unsaturated alcohols in benzene have been re‐examined with Gaussian 09, but the overall fit for CH protons is not improved, and OH proton shifts are worse. Shifts of vinyl protons in alkenols are systematically overestimated, and the correlation of computed shifts against the experimental data for unsaturated alcohols follows a quadratic equation. Splitting the 20 compounds studied into two sets, and applying empirical scaling based on the quadratic for the first set to the second set, gives an RMSD of 0.10 ppm. A multi‐standard approach gives a similar result. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Synthesis and some properties of ethyl 2-oxo-4-cyano-1-oxaspiro[4,5]decane-3-carboxylate

It was established by NMR and mass spectrometry that 1-oxaspiro[2,5]octane-2-carboxylic acid nitrite is converted, by the action of sodium malonate in toluene, to ethyl 2-oxo-4-cyano-1-oxaspiro[4,5]decane-3-carboxylate, which, upon refluxing in DMSO, is de-ethoxycarbonylated to give 2-oxo-1-oxaspiro[4,5]decane-4-carboxylic acid nitrile. The latter is converted to a thioamide, on the basis of which some thiazoles were synthesized.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 8, pp. 1027–1029, August, 1991.     

DFT‐GIAO 1H and 13C NMR prediction of chemical shifts for the configurational assignment of 6β‐hydroxyhyoscyamine diastereoisomers

¹H and ¹³C NMR chemical shift calculations using the density functional theory–gauge including/invariant atomic orbitals (DFT–GIAO) approximation at the B3LYP/6‐311G++(d,p) level of theory have been used to assign both natural diastereoisomers of 6β‐hydroxyhyoscyamine. The theoretical chemical shifts of the ¹H and ¹³C atoms in both isomers were calculated using a previously determined conformational distribution, and the theoretical and experimental values were cross‐compared. For protons, the obtained average absolute differences and root mean square (rms) errors for each comparison showed that the experimental chemical shifts of dextrorotatory and levorotatory 6β‐hydroxyhyoscyamines correlated well with the theoretical values calculated for the (3R,6R,2′S) and (3S,6S,2′S) configurations, respectively, whereas for ¹³C atoms the calculations were unable to differentiate between isomers. The nature of the relatively large chemical shift differences observed in nuclei that share similar chemical environments between isomers was asserted from the same calculations. It is shown that the anisotropic effect of the phenyl group in the tropic ester moiety, positioned under the tropane ring, has a larger shielding effect over one ring side than over the other one.
