Nucleophilic reactivities of benzenesulfonyl-substituted carbanions

Kinetics of the reactions of four benzenesulfonyl-stabilized carbanions (1a-d)- with reference electrophiles (quinone methides 2 and diarylcarbenium ions 3) have been determined in dimethyl sulfoxide solution at 20 degrees C in order to derive the reactivity parameters N and s according to the linear free-energy relationship logk(20 degrees C) = s(N + E) (eqn (1)). The additions of (1a-d)- to ordinary Michael acceptors (e.g., benzylidene Meldrum's acid 4a, benzylidenebarbituric acids 5a-c, and benzylidene-indan-1,3-diones 6a-d) were also studied kinetically and found to be 5-24 times slower than predicted by eqn (1).     

Determination of the electrophilicity parameters of diethyl benzylidenemalonates in dimethyl sulfoxide: reference electrophiles for characterizing strong nucleophiles

The second-order rate constants of the reactions of nine substituted diethyl benzylidenemalonates 1 a-i with the carbanions 2 a-e have been determined spectrophotometrically in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO). Product studies show that the nucleophiles attack regioselectively at the electrophilic C==C double bond of the Michael acceptors to form the carbanionic adducts 4. The correlation log k(20 degrees C)=s(N+E) allows the determination of the electrophilicity parameters E for the electrophiles 1 a-i from the rate constants determined in this work and the previously published N and s parameters for the nucleophiles 2 a-e. The electrophilicities E for compounds 1 a-i cover a range of six units (-17.7>E>-23.8) and correlate excellently with Hammett's substituent constants sigma(p). The title compounds are roughly ten orders of magnitude less reactive than analogously substituted benzylidene Meldrum's acids, their cyclic analogues. Due to their low reactivities, compounds 1 a-i are suitable reference electrophiles for determining the reactivities of highly reactive nucleophiles, such as carbanions with 16相似文献   

Dibenzo[b,h][1,4,7]thiadiazonines: examples of a novel ring system

Acetanilides 1a-e react with 1,1'-sulfinylbis(benzotriazole)/trimethylchlorosilane at 45-65 degrees C to form 1,2-di(benzotriazol-1-yl)-2-arylimino-1-ethanethiones 3a-e, while heating the same reagents at 110 degrees C results in dibenzo[b,h][1,4,7]thiadiazonines 5a,c,d, and 6. X-ray crystal structures are reported for three representative examples.     

First synthesis and isolation of the E- and Z-isomers of some new Schiff bases. Reactions of 6-azido-5-formyl-2-pyridone with aromatic amines

Some novel Schiff bases have been prepared by reacting 6-azido-5-formyl-2-pyridone 1 with a series of aromatic amines 2a-f. 5-Arylaminomethylene-6-(E)-aryl-iminopyridones 3a-e were obtained by reaction of 1 with 2a-e at room temperature, whereas with 2f, the 6-azido-5-naphthalen-2-yl-iminomethylpyridone derivative 4 was formed. On the other hand, heating 1 with 2a-d at 140-150 degrees C yielded two sets of isomeric products, (E)-3a-d and (Z)-5a-d. Refluxing compounds (Z)-3a,c with hydroxyl-amine in methanol gave the corresponding hydroxyliminopyridones 8a,c. Heating of (E)-3a-d with excess POCl3 at reflux did not give the expected tricyclic compound 9, but rather the isomeric products (Z)-5a-d were obtained. The structures of all these products have been characterized using IR and 1H- and 13C-NMR spectroscopy.     

Electrophilicity parameters of 5-benzylidene-2,2-dimethyl[1,3]dioxane-4,6-diones (benzylidene Meldrum's acids)

Kinetics of the reactions of four benzylidene Meldrum's acids 1 with acceptor-substituted carbanions 2 were studied photometrically in DMSO at 20 degrees C. The reactions follow second-order kinetics, and the second-order rate constants were found to follow the correlation log k2 (20 degrees C) = s(N + E) (eq 1), which was used to calculate the electrophilicity parameters E for compounds 1. Hammett correlations are given, which allow one to assign electrophilicity parameters for various beta,beta-acceptor substituted styrenes and thus to predict a large number of absolute rate constants for a manifold of Michael additions. The reactions of primary and secondary amines are approximately 2 orders of magnitude faster than predicted by the correlation (1), supporting transition states which are stabilized by hydrogen bridges from NH to the carbonyl groups of the benzylidene Meldrum's acids.     

Aminolysis of Y-substituted phenyl X-substituted cinnamates and benzoates: effect of modification of the nonleaving group from benzoyl to cinnamoyl

A kinetic study is reported for reactions of Y-substituted phenyl X-substituted cinnamates (1a-e and 3a-g) and benzoates (2a-e and 4a-g) with a series of alicyclic secondary amines in 80 mol % H2O/20 mol % DMSO at 25.0 +/- 0.1 degrees C. Reactions of 2,4-dinitrophenyl X-substituted cinnamates (1a-e) and benzoates (2a-e) with amines result in linear Yukawa-Tsuno plots. The rho(X) values are much smaller for the reactions of 1a-e than for those of 2a-e. A distance effect and the nature of the reaction mechanism (i.e., a concerted mechanism for 1a-e) have been suggested to be responsible for the small rho(X) values. The Br?nsted-type plots for the reactions of 2,4-dinitrophenyl X-substituted cinnamates (1a, 1c, and 1e) with amines are curved with a decreasing betanuc value from 0.65 to 0.3-0.4. The reactions of Y-substituted phenyl cinnamates (3a-g) with morpholine also result in a curved Br?nsted plot, while the corresponding reactions of Y-substituted phenyl benzoates (4a-e) exhibit a linear Br?nsted plot. It has been concluded that the curved Br?nsted plots found for the reactions of the cinnamates (1a, 1c, 1e, and 3a-g) are not due to a change in the rate-determining step (RDS) but due to a normal Hammond effect for a concerted mechanism, that is, an earlier transition state (TS) for a more reactive amine or substrate.     

Effect of o-methyl group on rate, mechanism, and resonance contribution: aminolysis of Y-substituted phenyl X-substituted 2-methylbenzoates

Second-order rate constants have been determined spectrophotometrically for the reactions of 4-nitrophenyl X-substituted 2-methylbenzoates (2a-e) and Y-substituted phenyl 2-methylbenzoates (3a-e) with alicyclic secondary amines in 80 mol % H(2)O/20 mol % DMSO at 25.0 +/- 0.1 degrees C. The o-methyl group in the benzoyl moiety of 2a-e retards the reaction rate but does not influence the reaction mechanism. The Hammett plots for the reactions of 2a-e are nonlinear, while the corresponding Yukawa-Tsuno plots are linear with large r values (1.06-1.70). The linear Yukawa-Tsuno plots suggest that stabilization of the ground-state through resonance interaction between the electron donating substituent X and the carbonyl group is responsible for the nonlinear Hammett plots, while the large r values imply that the ground-state resonance interaction is significant. The reactions of 2a-e resulted in smaller rho(X) values but larger r values than the corresponding reactions of 4-nitrophenyl X-substituted benzoates (1a-e). The small rho(X) value for the reactions of 2a-e (e.g., rho(X) = 0.22) is suggested to be responsible for the large r value (e.g., r = 1.70). The reactions of 3a-e with piperidine are proposed to proceed in a stepwise manner with a change in the rate-determining step on the basis of the curved Br?nsted-type plot obtained. Microscopic rate constants associated with the reactions of 3a-e are also consistent with the proposed mechanism.     

Enantioselective formation of a dynamic hydrogen-bonded assembly based on the chiral memory concept

In this paper, we report the enantioselective formation of a dynamic noncovalent double rosette assembly 1a(3).(CYA)(6) composed of three 2-pyridylcalix[4]arene dimelamines (1a) and six butylcyanuric acid molecules (BuCYA). The six 2-pyridyl functionalities of the assembly interact stereoselectively with chiral dicarboxylic acids 3a-e via two-point hydrogen-bonding interactions. One of the two enantiomeric assemblies (P- or M-) 1a(3).(CYA)(6) is formed in excess as the result of the complexation of the chiral diacids, resulting in formation of optically active assemblies. The complexations with dibenzoly tartaric acids D-3a and L-3a (3 equivalent), respectively, leading to the formation of diastereomeric assemblies (P)-1a(3).(BuCYA)(6).(D-3a)(3) and (M)-1a(3).(BuCYA)(6).(L-3a)(3) with 90% diastereomeric excess. The diastereomeric excess in (M)-1a(3).(BuCYA)(6).(L-3a)(3) is "memorized" when L-3a is removed by precipitation with ethlylenediamine (EDA). The assembly (M)-1a(3).(BuCYA)(6) is still optically active (90% enantiomeric excess), although none of its individual components are chiral. (M)-1a(3).(BuCYA)(6) has a high kinetic stability toward racemization (E(a) = 119 kJ mol(-)(1), half-life of (M)-1a(3).(BuCYA)(6) is ca. 1 week at 20 degrees C).     

Superelectrophilicity of the nitroolefinic fragment of 4-nitrobenzodifuroxan in Michael-type reactions with indoles: a kinetic study in acetonitrile

The kinetics of the coupling of 4-nitrobenzodifuroxan (NBDF) with a series of indoles 8 a-e to give the expected Michael-type adducts 9 a-e have been investigated in acetonitrile solution. No significant influence of the nature of the isotopic substitution at C-3 of the indole ring has been found, indicating that the NBDF addition step is the rate limiting step of the SEAr substitution of the indole moiety. This implies that the measured second-order rate constants (k) for the reactions are identical to the second order rate constants (k1NBDF) associated to the C--C coupling step. By using the known N and s parameters characterizing the nucleophilicity of indoles, the k1NBDF rate constants are found to fit nicely to the three parameters equation logk1=s(N+E) introduced by Mayr to describe the feasibility of nucleophilic-electrophilic combinations. Based on this, the electrophilicity parameter E of NBDF could be determined as E=-6.15. This corresponds to a positioning of the reactivity of the nitroactivated double bond of NBDF in the domain of superelectrophilicity previously defined for nitrobenzofuroxans, in accord with the finding that the rates of coupling of 8 a-e with NBDF are only one order of magnitude lower than those for the coupling of these indoles with 4,6-dinitrobenzofuroxan (DNBF). The theoretical scale of electrophilicity introduced by Domingo et al. on the basis of the global electrophilicity index omega defined by Parr is also a very useful tool to discuss the relative reactivities of NBDF, DNBF, and a number of differently activated C==C double bonds.     

A kinetic study of S-nitrosothiol decomposition

Under anaerobic conditions S-nitrosothiols 1a-e undergo thermal decomposition by homolytic cleavage of the S-N bond; the reaction leads to nitric oxide and sulfanyl radicals formed in a reversible manner. The rate constants, k(t), have been determined at different temperatures from kinetic measurements performed in refluxing alkane solvents. The tertiary nitrosothiols 1c (k1(69 degrees C) = 13 x 10(-3) min(-1)) and 1d (k1(69 degrees C) = 91 x 10(-3) min(-1)) decomposed faster than the primary nitrosothiols 1a (k1(69 degrees C) = 3.0 x 10(-3) min(-1)) and 1b (k1(69 degrees C) = 6.5 x 10(-3) min(-1)). The activation energies (E# = 20.5-22.8 Kcal mol(-1)) have been calculated from the Arrhenius equation. Under aerobic conditions the decay of S-nitrosothiols 1a-e takes place by an autocatalytic chain-decomposition process catalyzed by N2O3. The latter is formed by reaction of dioxygen with endogenous and/or exogenous nitric oxide. The autocatalytic decomposition is strongly inhibited by removing the endogenous nitric oxide or by the presence of antioxidants, such as p-cresol, beta-styrene, and BHT. The rate of the chain reaction is independent of the RSNO concentration and decreases with increasing bulkiness of the alkyl group; this shows that steric effects are crucial in the propagation step.     

The nitration of some 1-aryl(or benzyl)pyrroles

Nitration of 1-arylpyrroles 1a-c with acetyl nitrate, and 1-arylpyrroles, 1a-e and 1-(2-ethoxycarbonylbenzyl)pyrrole 4 with trifluoroacetyl nitrate gave the corresponding 2-nitro isomers 2a-e and 5, and 3-nitro isomers 3a-e and 6 . 3-Nitropyrroles 3d and 3e were further nitrated with a mixture of nitric and sulfuric acids to give compounds 10, 11 and 12 , respectively. Under the same conditions 1-(2-ethoxycarbonylbenzyl)-3-nitropyrrole 6 gave derivative 13 .

Electrophilic Reactivities of 1,2‐Diaza‐1,3‐dienes

The kinetics of the reactions of 1,2‐diaza‐1,3‐dienes 1 with acceptor‐substituted carbanions 2 have been studied at 20 °C. The reactions follow a second‐order rate law, and can be described by the linear free energy relationship log k(20 °C)=s(N+E) [Eq. (1)]. With Equation (1) and the known nucleophile‐specific parameters N and s for the carbanions, the electrophilicity parameters E of the 1,2‐diaza‐1,3‐dienes 1 were determined. With E parameters in the range of ?13.3 to ?15.4, the electrophilic reactivities of 1 a–d are comparable to those of benzylidenemalononitriles, 2‐benzylideneindan‐1,3‐diones, and benzylidenebarbituric acids. The experimental second‐order rate constants for the reactions of 1 a – d with amines 3 and triarylphosphines 4 agreed with those calculated from E, N, and s, indicating the applicability of the linear free energy relationship [Eq. (1)] for predicting potential nucleophilic reaction partners of 1,2‐diaza‐1,3‐dienes 1 . Enamines 5 react up to 10² to 10³ times faster with compounds 1 than predicted by Equation (1), indicating a change of mechanism, which becomes obvious in the reactions of 1 with enol ethers.     

Functionalized chiral vinyl aminosulfoxonium salts: asymmetric synthesis and application to the synthesis of enantiopure unsaturated prolines, beta,gamma-dehydro amino acids, and cyclopentanoid keto aminosulfoxonium ylides

Methylation of the enantiopure functionalized vinyl sulfoximines 5a-e and 14a-d followed by a F- ion or DBU-mediated isomerization of the vinyl aminosulfoxonium salts 7a-e and 15a-d, respectively, gave the allyl aminosulfoxonium salts 10a-e and 17a-d, respectively. A concomitant intramolecular substitution of the aminosulfoxonium group of 10a-e and 17a-d by the amino group afforded the unsaturated prolines 8a-e and 18a-d, respectively. The starting vinyl sulfoximines are accessible through a highly selective and stereo-complementary aminoalkylation of the corresponding sulfonimidoyl-substituted mono- and bis(allyl)titanium complexes with the imino ester 4. The vinyl aminosulfoxonium salts 34, 7a-d, and E-15c experienced upon treatment with the Cl- ion a migratory substitution with formation of the delta-chloro-beta,gamma-dehydro amino acids 36, E/Z-37a-d, and 38, respectively. A migratory substitution of the hydroxy-substituted vinyl aminosulfoxonium salts 46a and 46b furnished the delta-chloro allyl alcohols E/Z-48a and E-48b, respectively. A facile one-pot conversion of the vinyl sulfoximines 31b, 5c and 45a to the allyl chlorides 36, E/Z-37c and E/Z-48a, respectively, was achieved upon treatment with a chloroformiate. A tandem cyclization of the vinyl aminosulfoxonium salts 7b, Al-7b and 57 with LiN(H)tBu yielded the cyclopentanoid keto aminosulfoxonium ylides 54, Al-54, 59, 60 and 61, respectively. The structure of the tricyclic keto aminosulfoxonium ylide Al-54 has been determined by X-ray crystal structure analysis. Ab initio calculations and a NBO analysis of the tricyclic keto aminosulfoxonium ylide XXIII show a polar structure stabilized by electrostatic interactions between the ylidic C atom and both the carbonyl C atom and the S atom.     

Phase Transfer Catalyzed Synthesis and Antibacterial Activity of Water-soluble S-Triazolo[3,4-b][1,3,4]thiadiazoles Containing Piperazine Group

6/3-（4-Chlorophenyl）-s-triazolo[3, 4-b][1, 3, 4]thiadiazoles （2,a-e） and （Sa-e） were synthesized respectively by intermolecular cyclization of 5-aryl / 4-chlorophenyl-4-amino-3- mercapto-1, 2, 4-triazoles （la-e） and （4） with 4-chlorobenzoic acid / aryl acids, which were condensed with piperazine under phase transfer catalyst TBAB to yield the corresponding free bases of monopiperazine derivatives and followed to form water-soluble salts （3a-e） and （6a-e） with hydrochloric acid in good yields. The in vitro biological results showed that piperazine group conjugated with the above fused heterocycles played an important role in antibacterial activity. The structures of novel compounds were confirmed by IR, ＇H NMR, MS and elemental analysis.     

Azoles and Azines: CXIX. Alkylation of 5,5'-(4-Nitrobenzylidene)bis(2-thiobarbituric) Acid and 5-(4-Nitrophenyl)-2,8-dithioxo-5,7,8,9-tetrahydro-2H-pyrano[2,3-d:6,5-d']dipyrimidine-4,6(1H,3H)-dione with Haloacetic Acids and Their Esters

5,5'-(4-Nitrobenzylidene)bis(2-thiobarbituric) acid and 5-(4-nitrophenyl)-2,8-dithioxo-5,7,8,9-tetrahydro-2H-pyrano[2,3-d:6,5-d']dipyrimidine-4,6(1H,3H)-dione, similar to unsubstituted 2-thiobarbituric acid, readily react with haloacetic acids and their esters to form regioselectively the S-alkylation products. The alternative routes fo 5,5'-(4-nitrobenzylidene)bis[(4-hydroxy-6-oxo-1,6-dihydropyrimidine-5,2-diyl)sulfanyl]diacetic acids, based on condensation of 4,6-dihydroxypyrimidin-2-ylthioacetic acid with carbonyl compounds followed by cyclodehydration to [(5-(4-nitrophenyl)-4,6-dioxo-3,5,6,7-tetrahydro-4H-pyrano[2,3-d:6,5-d']dipyrimidine-2,8-diyl)di(sulfanyl)]diacetic acid derivatives, are less efficient. Alkylation of 2-thiobarbituric acid with ethyl bromoacetate in ethanol in the presence of alkali yields 5-(2-oxo-2,5-dihydro-1,3-thiazol-4-yl)-2-thiobarbituric acid.     

Modification of both the electrophilic center and substituents on the nonleaving group in pyridinolysis of O-4-nitrophenyl benzoate and thionobenzoates

A kinetic study is reported for reactions of 4-nitrophenyl benzoate (1c) and O-4-nitrophenyl X-substituted thionobenzoates (2a-e) with a series of pyridines in 80 mol % H2O/20 mol % dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) at 25.0 +/- 0.1 degrees C. O-4-Nitrophenyl thionobenzoate (2c) is more reactive than its oxygen analogue 1c toward all the pyridines studied. The Br?nsted-type plot is linear with beta(nuc)=1.06 for reactions of 1c but curved for the corresponding reactions of 2c with beta(nu)c decreasing from 1.38 to 0.38 as the pyridine basicity increases, indicating that the reaction mechanism is also influenced on changing the electrophilic center from C=O to C=S. The curvature center of the curved Br?nsted-type plots (defined as pK(a)(o)) occurs at pKa = 9.3 regardless of the electronic nature of the substituent X in the nonleaving group. The Hammett plot for reactions of 2a-e with 4-aminopyridine is nonlinear, i.e., the substrates having an electron-donating substituent exhibit negative deviations from the Hammett plot. However, the Yukawa-Tsuno plot for the same reactions exhibits good linear correlation, indicating that the negative deviations shown by these substrates arise from stabilization of the ground state through resonance interaction between the electron-donating substituent X and the C=S bond.     

Synthesis of 3-ethoxycarbonyl-4-hydroxyquinoline N-oxides from the Baylis-Hillman adducts of o-nitrobenzaldehydes

[reaction: see text] The reaction of the Baylis-Hillman adducts la-e of o-nitrobenzaldehydes and trifluoroacetic acid at 60-70 degrees C gave 3-ethoxycarbonyl-4-hydroxyquinoline N-oxide derivatives 3a-e in good to moderate yields.     

Syntheses of the first amine-dicarboxyboranes and their bis(methylester) and bis(N-ethylamide) derivatives

Amine-bis(N-ethylcarbamoyl)boranes [A.BH(CONHEt)(2), 3; A = trimethylamine (Me(3)N, a), quinuclidine (Q, b), pyridine (py, f), 4-picoline (pic, g)] have been prepared after deprotonation of [amine-bis(C-hydroxy-N-ethylimidate)hydroboron(2+)] cations (2), which were formed by the hydrolysis of [amine-bis(ethylnitrilium)hydroboron(2+)]tetrafluoroborates (1). Numerous representatives of 3 [A = diethylamine (Et(2)NH, c), piperidine (pip, d), pyrrolidine (pyrr, e), 4-aminopyridine (4-NH(2)-py, h), 4-(dimethylamino)pyridine (DMAP, i), imidazole (Him, j), 1-methylimidazole (Mim, k)] have been prepared by base exchange reactions from 3a. 3a-e are extremely stable in aqueous media, either acidic or alkaline, probably because of the considerable steric hindrance of possible reaction centers. However, they were transformed into amine-dicarboxyboranes [A.BH(COOH)(2), 4a-e] in acidic medium under vigorous conditions (100-130 degrees C). This transformation was accompanied by significant decomposition, probably owing to the protonation on the N atom, resulting in the rupture of the B-N bond. As an exception, 4b, where N atom in a rigid bicycle is not prone to attacks, could be isolated in very good yield. On the other hand, amine-bis(N-ethylcarbamoyl)boranes containing amines with sp(2)-hybridized N atoms (3f-k) undergo complete decomposition under similar conditions probably because of the increased hydridic character of the hydrogen adjacent to boron. Base exchange reactions starting from 4b resulted in the ammonium salts of 4c-e, h, i of composition [A.BH(COOH)(COO(-))][AH(+)], which in turn could be transformed into the diacids 4, except 4h, by protonation. As salt formation indicates, the 4 compounds are stronger acids as univalent acids than the corresponding A.BH(2)(COOH) complexes. 4a-e, i were readily esterified into amine-bis(methoxycarbonyl)boranes (5a-e, i) in methanol, employing a catalytic amount of HBr. 5a-e, i are stable in alkaline medium but are readily hydrolyzed in acidic medium. Hydrolysis of [amine-bis(C-methoxy-N-ethylimidate)hydroboron(2+)] cations did not give the corresponding bisesters 5 in alkaline, neutral, or acidic medium.     

Curved Hammett plot in alkaline hydrolysis of O-aryl thionobenzoates: change in rate-determining step versus ground-state stabilization

Second-order rate constants have been measured for alkaline hydrolysis of O-aryl thionobenzoates (X-C(6)H(4)-CS-OC(6)H(4)-Y) in 80 mol % H(2)O-20 mol % DMSO at 25.0 +/- 0.1 degrees C. The Hammett plot for the reaction of O-4-nitrophenyl X-substituted thionobenzoates (X-C(6)H(4)-CS-OC(6)H(4)-NO(2), 1a-e) exhibits a downward curvature. However, a possible traditional explanation in terms of a change in the rate-determining step (RDS) has been considered but rejected. The proposed explanation involves stabilization of the ground-state (GS) through-resonance interaction between the electron-donating substituent X and the thionocarbonyl functionality on the basis of the linear Yukawa-Tsuno plot obtained for the same reaction. The Br?nsted-type plot for the reaction of O-aryl thionobenzoates (C(6)H(5)-CS-OC(6)H(4)-Y, 2a-i) is linear but exhibits many scattered points with a small beta(lg) (-0.35). The Hammett plot for the same reaction shows rather poor correlation with sigma(-) constants but much better correlation with sigma(o) constants. The alkaline hydrolysis of O-aryl thionobenzoates (1a-e and 2a-i) has been proposed to proceed through an addition intermediate in which bond formation is the RDS.
