Alkylation of compound 2 with methyl iodide followed by cyclization of the resulting methyl 2-[methyl(methylsulfonyl)amino]-6-(trifluoromethyl)-3-pyridinecarboxylate ( 3 ) yielded 1-methyl-7-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-pyrido[2,3-c][1,2]thiazin-4(3H)-one 2,2-dioxide ( 4 ). The reaction of compound 4 with α,2,4-trichlorotoluene, methyl bromopropionate, methyl iodide, 3-trifluoromethylphenyl isocyanate, phenyl isocyanate and 2,4-dichloro-5-(2-propynyloxy)phenyl isothiocyanate gave, respectively, 4-[(2,4-dichlorophenyl)methoxy]-1-methyl-7-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-pyrido[2,3-c][1,2]thiazine 2,2-dioxide ( 5 ), methyl 2-[[1-methyl-2,2-dioxido-7-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-pyrido[2,3-c][1,2]thiazin-4-yl]oxy]propanoate ( 6 ), 1,3,3-trimethyl-7-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-pyrido[2,3-c][1,2]thiazin-4(3H)-one 2,2-dioxide ( 7 ), 4-hydroxy-1-methyl-7-(trifluoromethyl)-N-[3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-1H-pyrido[2,3-c][1,2]thiazine-3-carboxamide 2,2-dioxide ( 8 ), 4-hydroxy-1-methyl-7-(trifluoromethyl)-N-phenyl-1H-pyrido[2,3-c][1,2]thiazine-3-carboxamide 2,2-dioxide ( 9 ) and N-[2,4-dichloro-5-(2-propynyloxy)phenyl]-4-hydroxy-1-methyl-7-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-pyrido[2,3-c][1,2] thiazine-3-carboxamide 2,2-dioxide ( 10 ).     

Synthesis and some transformations of methyl [4-(oxoacetyl)phenyl]carbamate

The oxidation of methyl (4-acetylphenyl)carbamate with selenium dioxide in dioxane–water (30: 1) gave methyl [4-(oxoacetyl)phenyl]carbamate whose condensation with ethyl acetoacetate or diethyl malonate and hydrazine hydrate afforded ethyl 3-methyl-6-[4-(methoxycarbonylamino)phenyl]pyridazine-4-carboxylate and methyl {4-[5-(hydrazinecarbonyl)-6-oxo-1,6-dihydropyridazin-3-yl]phenyl}carbamate, respectively. The reaction of methyl [4-(oxoacetyl)phenyl]carbamate with o-phenylenediamine in dimethylformamide–ethanol on heating led to the formation of methyl [4-(quinoxalin-2-yl)phenyl]carbamate. Methyl {4-(5,7-dioxo- 4,4a,5,6,7,8-hexahydropyrimido[4,5-c]pyridazin-3-yl)phenyl}carbamate and methyl {4-(5-oxo-7-sulfanylidene- 4,4a,5,6,7,8-hexahydropyrimido[4,5-c]pyridazin-3-yl)phenyl}carbamate were synthesized by reactions of methyl [4-(oxoacetyl)phenyl]carbamate with barbituric and thiobarbituric acids, respectively, and hydrazine hydrate in the presence of zirconyl chloride octahydrate at room temperature.     

Synthesis of 4- and 6-methyl derivatives of 5,7-dioxo(4h,6h)-1,3-dithiolo[4,5-d]pyrimidine based on methylbarbituric acids,spectroscopic characteristics and acidity constants

We have obtained previously unknown 1-methyl- and 1,3-dimethyl-5-diethylaminothiocarbonylthiobarbituric acids by reaction of sodium diethyldithiocarbamate with 5-phenyliodonium betaines of 1-methyl- and 1,3-dimethylbarbituric acids. Cyclization of these compounds upon heating in conc. H₂SO₄ gives methyl-substituted 5,7-dioxo(4H,6H)-1,3-dithiolo[4,5-d]pyrimidine-2-diethylimmonium hydrosulfates; the derivative of 1-methylbarbituric acid forms a mixture of 4-methyl- and 6-methyl-substituted compounds (21). We isolated perchlorates of 4-methyl- and 4,6-dimethyl-substituted derivatives in pure form. By treatment of the immonium salt with sodium sulfide or selenide, we obtained 4-methyl- and 4,6-dimethyl-5,7-dioxo(4H,6H)-1,3-dithiolo[4,5-d]pyrimidine-2-thiones and 4-methyl-, 6-methyl-, and 4,6-dimethyl-2-selenones. We characterized the isomeric 4- and 6-methyl-substituted selenones by electronic absorption spectra and ionization constants (7.65 and 4.0). The differences in the pK values and in the electronic absorption spectra makes it possible to distinguish the substitution site in N-mono-substituted derivatives of 5,7-dioxo(4H,6H)-1,3-dithiolo[4,5-d]pyrimidine.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 11, pp. 1526–1533, November, 1993.

Synthesis of 3-pyrrol-3′-yloxindoles with a carbamate function

By the reaction of methyl {4(3)-[2-(2-oxo-1,2-dihydro-3H-indol-3-ylidene)acetyl]phenyl} carbamates with ethyl 3-aminocrotonate at boiling in the mixture toluene-anhydrous ethanol, 2: 1, ethyl 5-{3(4)-[(methoxycarbonyl)amino]phenyl}-2-methyl-4-(2-oxo-2,3-dihydro-1H-indol-3-yl)-1H-pyrrole-3-carboxylates were obtained.

Synthesis of fluorinated 2,6-heptanediones and 2-oxa-6- azabicyclo[2.2.2]octanes from 1,4-dihydropyridines

Electrophilic fluorination of Hantzsch-type 1,4-dihydropyridines with Selectfluor^® led to the formation of new fluorinated 2,6-heptanediones - dialkyl 2,4-diacetyl-2,4-difluoro-3-phenylpentanedioates. Novel 2,6-heptanedione derivatives in reaction with hydrazine hydrate easily form 6-amino-4,7-difluoro-3-hydroxy-1,3-dimethyl-5-oxo-8-phenyl-2-oxa-6-azabicyclo[2.2.2]octanes instead of the corresponding diazepine derivatives. The obtained 2-оxa-6-azabicyclo[2,2,2]octanes are thermally stable at the temperatures below 50°С. At higher temperatures rearrangement of 2-oxa-6-azabicyclo[2,2,2]octanes offers new fluorine-containing pyrazolinone derivatives - alkyl esters of 2-fluoro-2-((4-fluoro-3-methyl-5-oxo-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)(phenyl)methyl)-3-oxobutanoates.

Synthesis, structural characterization and reactivity of aluminium complexes supported by benzotriazole phenoxide ligands: air-stable alumoxane as an efficient catalyst for ring-opening polymerization of L-lactide

Aluminium complexes bearing sterically bulky benzotriazole-phenoxide ligands are synthesized and characterized structurally. The reaction of 2-(2H-benzotriazol-2-yl)-4,6-bis(1-methyl-1-phenylethyl)phenol ((CMe2Ph)BTP-H) or 2-(2H-benzotriazol-2-yl)-4,6-di-tert-butylphenol ((t-Bu)BTP-H) with AlMe(3) (1.2 molar equiv.) in toluene yields [((CMe2Ph)BTP)AlMe(2)] (1) or [((t-Bu)BTP)AlMe(2)] (2) as a four-coordinated monomeric aluminium complex. Compound 1 reacts further with (CMe2Ph)BTP-H in a stoichiometric proportion, affording penta-coordinated monomeric aluminium methyl complex [((CMe2Ph)BTP)(2)AlMe] (3). Complex 3 is also obtained directly upon treatment of AlMe(3) with (CMe2Ph)BTP-H (two molar equiv.) in refluxing toluene in high yield. In the presence of H(2)O (half a molar equiv.), hydrolysis of 3 in a mixed solvent of THF and toluene at ambient temperature affords [{((CMe2Ph)BTP)(2)Al}(2)(μ-O)] (4), in which the oxo ligand acts as a chelating group linearly bridging two aluminium centers. Air-stable alumoxane 4 is an efficient catalyst for the ring-opening polymerization of L-lactide (L-LA) in the presence of 9-anthracenemethanol (9-AnOH). Complex 4 catalyzes the polymerization of L-LA in a controlled manner, yielding PLLAs with the expected molecular weights and narrow polydispersity indices (PDIs).

The reaction of 2-chloro-4-(methylsulfonyl)benzoyl chloride ( 5 ) with 1-methyl-1H-2,1-benzothiazin-4-(3H)-one 2,2-dioxide ( 4 ) gave the O-benzoyl compound, 1-methyl-2,2-dioxido-1H-2,1-benzothiazin-4-yl 2-chloro-4-(methylsulfonyl)benzoate ( 6 ), which rearranged to give the C-benzoyl isomer, [2-chloro-4-(methylsulfonyl)phenyl] (4-hydroxy-1-mefhyl-2,2-dioxido-1H-2,1-benzothiazin-3-yl)methanone ( 7 ). The O-cinnamoyl compound 13 that resulted from the addition of 2,4-dichlorocinnamoyl chloride ( 11 ) to compound 4 rearranged to give the C-cinnamoyl compound, 3-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)-1-(4-hydroxy-1-methyl-2,2-dioxido-1H-2,1-benzothiazin-3yl)-2-propen-1-one ( 15 ). On the other hand, 1-methyl-2,2-dioxido-1H-2,1-benzothiazin-4-yl 3-phenyl-2-propenoate ( 19 ) (from cinnamoyl chloride ( 17 ) and compound 4 ) rearranged to give 2,3-dihydro-6-methyl-2-phenyl-4H,6H-pyrano[3,2-c][2,1]benzothiazin-4-one 5,5-dioxide ( 21 ), an example of a hitherto unknown ring system. Additional examples of this novel heterocycle were prepared from 1-methyl-7-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-pyrido[2,3-c][1,2]thiazin-4(3H)-one 2,2-dioxide ( 23 ) and 1-methyl-1H-thieno[3,2-c][1,2]thiazin-4(3H)-one 2,2-dioxide ( 8 ).     

Imidotungsten(VI) complexes with chelating amino and imino phenolates

The reaction of WOCl(4) with 2,4-di-tert-butyl-6-((isopropylamino)methyl)phenol followed by the reaction with phenyl isocyanate leads to the formation of imidotungsten(VI) complex [W(NPh)Cl(3)(OC(6)H(3)(CH(2)NH-i-Pr)-2-t-Bu(2)-4,6)] 4 with a chelating aminophenolate ligand. When the same procedure was applied using aminophenols with bulkier substituents in the amino group, the final product was an unexpected Schiff-base complex [W(NPh)Cl(3)(OC(6)H(3)(CH=NPh)-2-t-Bu(2)-4,6)] 5, where the ligand is derived from 2,4-di-tert-butyl-6-((phenylimino)methyl)phenol. Complex 5 is also formed in the thermal degradation of 4. On the whole, 5 appears to be formed by a disproportionation of intermediate compounds, which are analogous to complex 4. The solid-state structures of 4 and 5 have been determined by X-ray crystallography whereas the solution structures were studied by (1)H and (13)C NMR.

The polymerization was almost completed within a day at room temperature. These polymers had inherent viscosities in the range of 0.12–0.38 and were soluble in a wide range of solvents, including formic acid and hot m-cresol, as well as a number of polar aprotic solvents. All the polymers softened at a temperature ranging from 165 to 185°C. Thermal characterization of the polyamides by TGA and DTA showed polymer decomposition temperatures of about 240°C in air.

Abstract

The synthesis of acetic 2-{[1-methyl-2-(4-oxo-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-4H-benzo [4,5]-thieno [2,3-d] [1,3-oxazin-2-yl)ethylidene]amino}-4,5,6,7-tetrahydrohenzo[b]thiophene ?3-carboxylic acid anhydride 5 and 2-(oxopropyl)-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-4H-benzo-[4,5] thieno[2,3-d][1,3]oxazin-4-one 7, has been achieved in three steps from ethyl 2-amino-4,5,6,7-tetrahydrobenzo(b]thiophene-3-carboxlate 1 via the reaction with ethyl acetoacetate followed by hydrolysis and acetic anhydride-induced cyclization. The 2-substituent in compound 5 has two functional groups i.e. active methylene and acid anhydride which are suitably located for intramolecular transformation. Thermal and/or base catalyzed intramolecular cyclization of 5 afforded 2-(4-acetoxy-(hydroxyl)-2-methyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydrobenzo[4,5] thieno[2,3-b]pyridin-3-yl)-5,6,7,8- tetrahydro-4H-benzo[4,5]thieno[2,3-d] [1,3]oxazin-4-one 10 and 9 respectively. Treatment of 5 with hydrazine hydrate, aromatic and/or heterocyclic amines induced the same intramolecular cyclization with a concomitant oxazine-pyrimidine interconversion to give 3-amino(aryl or heteryl)-2-(4-hydroxy-5,6,7,8-tetrdhydrobenzo-[4,5]thieno[2,3-b]pyridin-3-yl)-3,4,5,6,7,8-hexahydrobenzo[4,5] thieno[2,3-d] pyrimid in-4-one 11–14 respectively.

The use of anilinodihydrofurans in the synthesis of novel heterocyclic compounds

Alkyl 4-oxo-2-phenylamino-4,5-dihydrofuran-3-carboxylates were used for the preparation of alkyl 5-amino-7-aryl-2-{[aryl(hydroxy)methyl](phenyl)amino}-4,6-dicyano-1-benzofuran-3-carboxylates, 4-oxo-2-phenylamino-N-(p-tolyl)-4,5-dihydrofuran-3-carboxamide, and ethyl 4-chloro-5-formyl-2-(phenylamino)furan-3-carboxylate. The latter was used for the synthesis of ethyl 4-chloro-5-(hydrazinylidenemethyl)-2-(phenylamino)furan-3-carboxylate and diethyl 5,5'-(hydrazine-1,2-di-ylidenemethylylidene)bis[4-chloro-2-(phenylamino)furan-3-carboxylate].     

Preparation and characterization of dinuclear Pd(II) complexes of binucleating tetraaza-thiophenolate ligands

The thioethers 4-tert-butyl-2,6-bis((2-(dimethylamino)ethylimino)methyl)phenyl(tert-butyl)sulfane (tBu-L3) and 4-tert-butyl-2,6-bis((2-(dimethylamino)ethylimino)methyl)phenyl(tert-butyl)sulfane (tBu-L4) react with PdCl2(NCMe)2 to give the dinuclear palladium thiophenolate complexes [(L3)Pd2Cl2]+ (2) and [(L4Pd2(mu-Cl)]2+ (3) (HL3= 2,6-bis((2-(dimethylamino)ethylimino)methyl)-4-tert-butylbenzenethiol, HL4 = 2,6-bis((2-(dimethylamino)ethylamino)methyl)-4-tert-butylbenzenethiol). The chloride ligands in could be replaced by neutral (NCMe) and anionic ligands (NCS-, N3-, CN-, OAc-) to give the diamagnetic Pd(II) complexes [(L3)Pd2(NCMe)2]3+ (4), [(L3)Pd2(NCS)2]+ (5), [(L3)Pd2(N3)2]+ (6), [{(L3)Pd2(mu-CN)}2]4+ (7) and [(L3)Pd2(OAc)]2+ (9). The nitrile ligands in and in [(L3)Pd2(NCCH2Cl)2]3+ are readily hydrated to give the corresponding amidato complexes [(L3)Pd2(CH3CONH)]2+ (8) and [(L3)Pd2(CH2ClCONH)]2+ (10). The reaction of [(L3)Pd2(NCMe)2]3+ with NaBPh4 gave the diphenyl complex [(L3)Pd2(Ph)2]+ (11). All complexes were either isolated as perchlorate or tetraphenylborate salts and studied by IR, 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy. In addition, complexes 2[ClO4], 3[ClO4]2, 5[BPh4], 6[BPh4], 7[ClO4]4, 9[ClO4]2, 10[ClO4]2 and 11[BPh4] have been characterized by X-ray crystallography.
