2-Methyl-5-phenyl- and 2,5-diphenylpyrrole and 2-phenyl-, Z-[1-(2-phenylvinyl)]-3-phenyl-, and 4,5,6,7-tetrahydroindole, and 2,4-diphenyl-3,3-dimethyl-5-hydroxypyrroline have been obtained from the reaction of ketoximes with phenylacetylene, catalyzed by KOH-DMSO.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 4, pp. 485–488, April, 1992.     

New syntheses of condensed heterocycles from isoxazole derivatives. V. Pyrrolo[3,4-b ]pyridin-4-ones

Hydrogenolysis with Raney-Nickel or iron powder in acetic acid of 2,5-diphenyl-4-nitro-3-(3,5-R,R-4-isoxazolyl)pyrrolyl ketones, prepared by the Grignard reaction of 2,5-diphenylpyrrole and 3,5-R,R-4-isoxazolecarboxilic acid chlorides followed by nitration, afforded directly the desired 6H-pyrrolo[3,4-b ]pyridin-4-ones.     

The regioselective elaboration of η-pyrrolyl ligands in (η-pyrrolyl)bis(triphenylphosphine)rhenium complexes: a way to 2,5-diphenylpyrrole and some of its N-derivatives

The η-pyrrolyl complex (η-C₄H₄N)(Ph₃P)₂ReH₂ (1) was prepared from (Ph₃P)₂ReH₇, 3,3-dimethyl-1-butene and pyrrole, and treated with I₂-K₂CO₃ to give (η-C₄H₄N)(Ph₃P)₂ReHI (2). This was treated with PhLi to give (η-2-PhC₄H₃N)(Ph₃P)₂ReH₂ (3) in high yield. Repeated treatment of 3 with I₂-K₂CO₃ and PhLi gave (η-2,5-Ph₂C₄H₂N)(Ph₃P)₂ReH₂ (4) which was converted into 2,5-diphenylpyrrole, 1-methyl-2,5-diphenylpyrrole and 1-benzoyl-2,5-diphenylpyrrole.     

Synthesis and scintillating efficiencies of 2,5-diarylthiazoles with intramolecular hydrogen bond

A series of 2,5-diarylthiazole derivatives exhibiting an intramolecular hydrogen bond has been synthesized. The scintillation efficiency of each member of the series has been determined relative to 2,5-diphenyloxazole. Introduction of an OH group in ortho positions of 2,5-diphenyloxazole and 2,5-diphenylthiazole has led to a red shift of the fluorescence spectra due to intramolecular hydrogen bond, as supported by quantum chemical calculations.     

Reaction of sodium cyanide with 2H-pyran-2-thiones and their 3-bromo derivatives

The reaction of sodium cyanide with 4,5,6-triaryl-2H-pyran-2-thiones and their 3-bromo derivatives led to the formation of 2,5-dihydrothiophenes.

Methyl 3-(dimethylamino) acrylates containing trifluoromethylsulfenyl-, trifluoromethylsulfinyl-, and trifluoromethylsulfonyl groups were synthesized and their utility demonstrated by reactions with aliphatic and aromatic amidines to produce 2,5-substituted 4(3H)-pyrimidones. Cyclization reactions of enaminones with urea or thiourea led to 5-substituted uracil or 2-thiouracil derivatives, respectively.     

Fused-s-triazino heterocycles. XI. Displacement reactions of 7,9-dichloro-2,5-bis(trichloromethyl)-1,3,4,6,9b-pentaazaphenalene

The preparation of 7,9-dichloro-2,5-bis(trichloromethyl)-1,3,4,6,9b-pentaazaphenalene ( 1e ) by the chlorination of 2-trichloromethyl-5-methyl-1,3,4,6,9b-pentaazaphenalene ( 1a ) using molecular chlorine is described. Displacement of one or both trichloromethyl groups of 1e by a variety of nucleophiles led to the corresponding 7,9-dichloro-2,5-bis-substituted or 7,9-dichloro mixed 2,5-disubstituted derivatives. The reaction of 1a with N-chlorosuccinimide proved not to be a useful route to 1e but instead led primarily to substitution of positions 7 and/or 9 by chlorine.     

Synthesis and properties of dihetaryl-substituted furanones. Synthesis of photochromic dithienylethenes containing a furanone bridging fragment

Facile Synthesis of 3‐Amino‐2,5‐dihydropyridazines and 4‐Deazatoxoflavin Analogues via [3 + 3] Atom Combination: Approaches to Pyridazine Incorporating Pyrazole Moiety

Arylhydrazones are prepared and reacted with pyrazolylmethylene malononitrile derivatives yielding 2,5‐dihydropyridazines substituted at C‐5 by pyrazole derivatives. Utilizing azaenamine containing a cyano group at the ortho position enabled the formation of the condensed pyridazino[1,6‐a ]quinazoline derivatives. A subsequent acetylation of the synthesized pyridazines led to the formation of pyrimido[4,5‐c ]pyridazine compounds which can be considered as 4‐deazatoxoflavin derivatives. All the new compounds were full‐characterized by the different spectral tools and the unambiguous structural elucidation of 2,5‐dihydropyridazines was done using 2D‐HMBC spectroscopy     

On the syntheses and some reactions of bis- and tris(methylthio)thiophenes

Reaction between various thienyllithium derivatives and dimethyl disulfide has been used for the preparation of 2,5-, 2,3-, and 3,4-bis(methylthio)thiophenes, as well as 2,3,4- and 2,3,5-tris(methylthio)thiophenes. Bromination of (methylthio)thiophenes with N-bromosuccinimide was found to be most convenient for the preparation of brominated (methylthio)thiophenes such as 3-bromo-2,5-bis(methylthio)- and 5-bromo-2,3-bis(methylthio)thiophene, 3,4-dibromo-2,5-bis(methylthio)-, 2,5-dibromo-3,4-bis(methylthio)- and 2,3-dibromo-4,5-bis(methylthio)thiophene as well as 3-bromo-2,4,5-tris(methylthio)thiophene. The reaction of methylthio substituted thienyllithium derivatives with methyl chloroformate was used for the syntheses of methyl methylthio substituted thiophenecarboxylates and using 1/3 of an equivalent for the direct preparation of methylthio substituted 3-thienylcarbinols as tris[2,4,5-tris(methylthio)-3-thienyl]carbinol.     

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.     

A convenient synthesis of 2-amino-6-methoxy-1-methyl (and 1,4-dimethyl)carbazole derivatives and their 6-aza analogues

2,6-Diaminotoluene ( 3a ) and 2,6-diamino-p-xylene ( 3c ) led to 2-methyl (and 2,5-dimethyl)-3-acetylamino-phenylhydrazines 5a,b. Fischer indolization of their hydrazones 6a,b and 7a,b derived from 4-methoxycy-clohexanone and 4-piperidone, and subsequent aromatization of intermediate tetrahydrocarbazole derivatives 8a,b and 9a,b allowed us to work out a convenient route to the title compounds.     

Alkylation and cyclopentannulation of phospholene derivatives

The deprotonation of 1-phenyl-3-phospholene 1-oxide, 1-sulfide or 1-borane with 1 or 2 equiv of LDA, followed by quenching with electrophiles gave a range of 2-mono- or 2,5-disubstituted phospholene derivatives in good yield. Only trans substitution in relation to the P-Ph group was observed. Treatment of lithiated phospholene intermediates with 1,3-dihaloalkanes afforded annulated 2-phenyl-2-phosphabicyclo[3.3.0]oct-3-ene derivatives. The annulation reactions occurred with high regio- and stereoselectivity and led to the exclusive formation of the exo-Ph-P substituted products.     

Synthesis of derivatives of 4-alkylthiouracil,cytosine, pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidine,and pyrimido[4,5-d]pyrimidine from the N,S- and N,N-acetals of diacetylketene and isocyanates

The action of alkyl and aryl isocyanates on the N,S-acetals of diacetylketene leads to the formation of 4-alkylthio-5-acetyl-1-alkyl(aryl)-6-methyl-1H-pyrimidin-2-ones (derivatives of 4-alkylthiouracils). The reaction of the synthesized thiouracils with amines or the reaction of the N,N-acetals of diacetylketene (N,N-ADK) with an equi-molar amount of aryl isocyanates leads to the formation of substituted 4-amino-5-acetyl-1H-pyrimidin-2-ones (derivatives of cytosine). From the latter and isocyanates or directly from N,N-ADK and an excess of the isocyanate, derivatives of 4-methylene-1H,3H, 4H-pyrimido[4,5-d]pyrimidine-2,7-dione were obtained. The exception was the condensation of 3-[N-(4,6-dimethyl-2-pyrimidinyl)diaminomethylene]pentane-2,4-dione with aryl isocyanates, which led to 3H,8H-pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidine-2,5-diones.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 11, pp. 2593–2599, November, 1991.

Condensation of 1,4-diacetylpiperazine-2,5-dione with aldehydes has been applied to the synthesis of albonoursin and unsymmetrical 3,6-diarylidenepiperazine-2,5-diones. The reaction has been extended to 1,4-diacetyl-3,6-dimethylpiperazine-2,5-dione, which gives derivatives of 2-methyl-3- phenylserine. The mechanism and stereochemistry are discussed; cis 1-acetyl-3-isobutylidene- piperazine-2,5-dione has been isolated.     

Synthesis of 5-substituted 3-[5-(2,5-dimethylphenyl)-1,2-oxazol-3-yl]-1,2,4-oxadiazoles

5-(2,5-Dimethylphenyl)-1,2-oxazole-3-carbaldehyde oxime reacted with acetic anhydride in pyridine to give 5-(2,5-dimethylphenyl)-1,2-oxazole-3-carbonitrile which was converted into the corresponding amide oxime by treatment with hydroxylamine. O-Acyl derivatives of N′-hydroxy-5-(2,5-dimethylphenyl)-1,2-oxazole-3-carboximidamide underwent heterocyclization into 5-substituted 3-[5-(2,5-dimethylphenyl)-1,2-oxazol-3-yl]-1,2,4-oxadiazoles on heating in acetic acid.

Analysis of the ¹H NMR spectra of 1,4:3,6-bis (thioanhydro)-D -iditol derivatives ( 1a to 1c ) led to the prediction of the dominant conformations. The configuration and conformation of the symmetric ( 3 ) and asymmetric ( 4 ) disulphoxides as well as that of the disulphone ( 5 ), obtained by oxidation of the 2,5-di-O-acetyl-1,4:3,6-bis(thioanhydro)-D -iditol ( 1b ) was also determined.     

Synthesis and characterization of novel aromatic polyamides from 3,4-bis(4-aminophenyl)-2,5-diphenylpyrrole and aromatic diacid chlorides

A new polymer-forming monomer, 3,4-bis(4-aminophenyl)-2,5-diphenylpyrrole, was synthesized in three steps starting from 4′-nitrodeoxybenzoin. Tetraphenylpyrrole-containing aromatic polyamides and copolyamides were prepared from the diamine with various aromatic diacid chlorides and from a mixture of the diamine and 4,4′-oxydianiline with terephthaloyl chloride, respectively. The resultant polymers had inherent viscosities in the 0.3–1.8 dL/g range and were generally soluble in various organic solvents including N,N-dimethylacetamide and m-cresol. They have glass transition temperatures in the range of 306–333°C and showed no weight loss below 380°C in both air and nitrogen atmospheres.     

2,5-Diketopiperazine Derivatives as Potential Anti-Influenza (H5N2) Agents: Synthesis,Biological Evaluation,and Molecular Docking Study

2,5-Diketopiperazine derivatives, consisting of benzylidene and alkylidene substituents at 3 and 6 positions, have been considered as a core structure for their antiviral activities. Herein, the novel N-substituted 2,5-Diketopiperazine derivatives were successfully prepared and their antiviral activities against influenza virus were evaluated by monitoring viral propagation in embryonated chicken eggs. It was found that (3Z,6Z)-3-benzylidene-6-(2-methyl propylidene)-4-substituted-2,5-Diketopiperazines (13b–d), (3Z,6E)-3-benzylidene-6-(2-methylpropyli dene)-1-(1-ethyl pyrrolidine)-2,5-Diketopiperazine (14c), and Lansai-C exhibited negative results in influenza virus propagation at a concentration of 25 µg/mL. Additionally, molecular docking study revealed that 13b–d and 14c bound in 430-cavity of neuraminidase from H5N2 avian influenza virus and the synthesized derivatives also strongly interacted with the key amino acid residues, including Arg371, Pro326, Ile427, and Thr439.
