Study of alkaloids of the Siberian and Altai flora. 9. Synthesis of amino derivatives of elatidine

New secondary-tertiary diamines were prepared from elatidal imines with primary amino alcohols, derivatives of natural amino acids of the S-series. N-Methylation of the diamines yielded bi-tertiary diamines unable to undergo quaternization with MeI due to steric hindrance.     

Studies in the furan series. 23. Preparation of some new 5-substituted furfurylallylarylamines. Influence of substituents on the intramolecular Diels-Alder (IMDA) reaction

Several new N-allyl-N-(5-substituted)-2-furfuryl-p)-toluidines IIIa-e with Cl, Br, I, NO₂ or CH₃O groups in position 5 of the furan nucleus were prepared by allylation of the corresponding secondary furfurylaryl-amines. Both, electron withdrawing and releasing substituents enhanced the yield of intramolecular [4+2] cycloaddition.     

Study of alkaloids of the Siberian and Altai flora. 7. Synthesis of 18-amino-18-deoxy derivatives of elatidine

Reduction of elatidal oxime and imines based on methylamine, ethanolamine, tyramine, and S- and (±)-alaninols gave rise to the 18-amino-18-deoxy derivatives of elatidine.     

Reaction of ketenes with N,N-disubstituted α-aminomethyleneketones. XI. Synthesis of 2H-pyrano[3,2-g]benzothiazole derivatives

Cycloaddition of dichloroketene to N,N-disubstituted 6-aminomethylene-5,6-dihydro-2-phenylbenzothiazol-7-(4H)ones gave in good yield N,N-disubstituted 4-amino-3,3-dichloro-3,4,5,6-tetrahydro-8-phenyl-2H-pyrano[3,2-g]benzothiazol-2-ones II, which are derivatives of the new heterocyclic system 2H-pyrano[3,2-g]benzothiazole. Dehydrochlorination with triethylamine of II afforded N,N-disubstituted 4-amino-3-chloro-5,6-dihydro-8-phenyl-2H-pyrano[3,2-g]benzothiazol-2-ones III in good to moderate yield. The dimethylamino adduct was dehydrochlorinated in high yield by refluxing in toluene, whereas the diisopropylamino adduct gave in low yield 6-(2,2-dichloroethylidene)-5,6-dihydro-2-phenylbenzothiazol-7-(4H)one with the triethylamine treatment. The dehydrochlorinated product IIId (NR₂ = pyrrolidino) was obtained directly in low yield by cycloaddition of dichloroketene to the corresponding enaminone. Full aromatisation of IIIa,g [NR₂ = N(CH₃)₂ and N(CH₃)C₆H₅, respectively] to the corresponding N,N-disubstituted 4-amino-3-chloro-8-phenyl-2H-pyrano-[3,2-g]benzothiazol-2-ones was accomplished with DDQ in refluxing benzene.     

The synthesis of hexahydrooxoepithiopyridinedicarboximides by the reaction of thioamides with N-substituted maleimides

The synthesis of hexahydrooxoepithiopyridinedicarboxyimide (5: X₂ = N-Ph) by the reaction of thioamides 1 with N-substituted maleimide ( 2a ) was examined. The reaction of primary thioamides, such as thiobenzamide and p-toluthioamide with N-phenylmaleimide gives compounds 5 together with corresponding 4-hydroxy-1,3-thiazoles 4 . However, a similar reaction of secondary thioamides, such as N-methylthioacetamide, thiobenzanilide, with N-phenylmaleimide did not provide compounds 5 without addition of acid. The reaction pathway and the configuration of 5 were also investigated.     

Reactions of N-heteroarylformamide oximes and N-heteroarylacetamide oximes with N,N-dimethylformamide dimethyl acetal. Synthesis of 2-methyl-s-triazolo[1,5-x]azines and N-methylcyanoaminoazines

N-Heteroarylformamide oximes 3 (R ? H) were converted with N,N-dimethylformamide dimethyl acetal (DMFDMA) into N-heteroaryl-N-methylcyanoamino compounds 5 , as the main products. In some instances N-heteroarylcyanoamino compounds 4 , cyanoimino compounds 7 , and some other products, such as 9 and 10 were also formed. On the other hand, N-heteroarylacetamide oximes 3 (R ? CH₃) were cyclized under the same reaction conditions into 2-methyl-s-triazolo[1,5-x]azines ( 6 ). N-Heteroarylacetamide O-methyl oximes 11 and 12 were prepared from the corresponding acetamidines 2 (R ? CH₃) and O-methylhydroxylamine.     

Reaction of ketenes with N,N-disubstituted α-aminomethyleneketones. XVIII. Synthesis of N,N-disubstituted 4-amino-3-phenyl-2H-naphtho[1,2-b]pyran-2-ones

1,4-Cycloaddition of phenylchloroketene to N,N-disubstituted 2-aminomethylene-3,4-dihydro-1(2H)naphthalenones gave the corresponding adducts, namely N,N-disubstituted 4-amino-3-chloro-3,4,5,6-tetrahydro-3-phenyl-2H-naphtho[1,2-b]pyran-2-ones II, in the case of aliphatic N,N-disubstitution or aromatic N-monosubstitution. Apart from IIf (NR₂ = NMePh), adducts II were unstable and were dehydrochlorinated in situ with DBN to give N,N-disubstituted 4-amino-5,6-dihydro-3-phenyl-2H-naphtho[1,2-b]pyran-2-ones III in fair overall yields. Compounds III were dehydrogenated with Pd/C in boiling p-cymene to afford the title compounds generally in high yields.     

Studies on sulfinatodehalogenation XXIV. Further study on sodium dithionite-initiated perfluoroalkylation of electron-rich aromatics

The application of the sulfinatodehalogenation reaction system for the perfluoroalkylation of electron-rich aromatics is further studied. It was shown that perfluoroalkyl iodides reacted with polyhydric phenols, N,N?dialkylanilines, 2,5-dimethylpyrrole, N?methylpyrrole initiated by Na₂S₂O₄?NaHCO₃ gave the corresponding perfluoroalkylated products in moderate to good yields.     

Reaction of ketenes with N,N-disubstituted α-aminomethyleneketones. XVI. Synthesis of N,N-disubstituted 4-amino-5,6-tetramethylene-3-phenyl-2-pyranones

1,4-Cycloaddition of phenylchloroketene (prepared in situ from α-chlorophenylacetyl chloride and triethyl-amine) to a number of N,N-disubstituted (E)-2-aminomethylenecyclohexanones gave the corresponding adducts, namely N,N-disubstituted 4-amino-3-chloro-3,4,5,6,7,8-hexahydro-2H-1-benzopyran-2-ones III in the case of aliphatic N,N-disubstitution or aromatic N-monosubstitution. Purification of III was possible only in the case of IIIh (NR₂ = NMePh), therefore they were dehydrochlorinated in situ with DBN to give the title compounds in moderate overall yields.     

Transition metal ion complexes of thiosemicarbazones derived from 2-acetylpyridine. Part 4. The 3-piperidinyl derivative

Summary Metal ion complexes of the thiosemicarbazone, 3-piperidinyl-3-thiocarboxylic acid-2-[1-(2-pyridyl)ethylidene]hydrazide (HLpip) have been prepared and spectrally characterized. HLpip coordinates both as the deprotonated ligand (i.e., pyridylN, azomethineN, and thione sulphur) and the neutral ligand (i.e., pyridylN and azomethineN) with the sulphur possibly weakly coordinating in [Ni(HLpip)₂](BF₄)₂. All three preparative cobalt(II) salts yielded cobalt(III) cationic complexes. The nickel(II) and copper(II) chloride salts gave [M(Lpip)Cl] solids while complexes involving the neutral ligand were prepared with the corresponding bromide salts. Significant differences in the spectral properties of the various complexes are observed when compared to other thiosemicarbazones prepared from 2-acetylpyridine.     

Pyrimido[5,4-b]quinolines. II. Reactions at the heterocyclic ring-carbon and nitrogen atoms

10-Chloro-7,8-dimethylpyrimido[5,4-b]quinolin-2,4(1H,3H)dione (I) was unreactive toward ammonia but it reacted with 2 molecules of n-butylamine, presumably via Dimroth-type ring-opening and closure, to give the N₃-butyl, N₁₀-butylamino derivative (IV). In similar reactions of 10-chloro-2,4-dimethoxy-7,8-dimethylpyrimido[5,4-b]quinoline (II) only the 4-meth-oxyl was displaced by either ammonia or n-butylamine. Alkyllithium reagents also displaced the 4-methoxyl as well as added to the 3,4 double bond of II to yield the corresponding gem-dialkyl substituted (C₄) derivatives; the C₁₀ chlorine remained unreactive. 2,4-Dimethoxy-7,8-di-methylpyrimido[5,4-b]quinoline-10-one (III) could be alkylated only in the form of the thallium salt. Treatment of the benzyl derivative of III with methylmagnesium bromide led only to the displacement of the 4-methoxyl by a methyl group.     

Reduction of <Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-(polychloroethylidene)- and <Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-(1-hydroxypolychloroethyl) arenesulfonamides with adamantane in the presence of superacids

N-(2,2,2-Trichloroethylidene)-, N-(2,2-dichloro-2-phenylethylidene)-, and N-(1-hydroxy-2-polychloroethyl) arenesulfonamides reacted with adamantane in carbon tetrachloride in the presence of oleum or concd. H₂SO₄-P₄O₁₀ mixture to give the corresponding N-(2-polychloroethyl)arenesulfonamides as a result of reduc-tion of the azomethine and OH group, respectively.     

Molecular orbital theory of the hydrogen bond. 25. Water–uracil complexes in excited n → π states

Hydrogen bonding of uracil with water in excited n → π* states has been investigated by means of ab initio SCF -CI calculations on uracil and water–uracil complexes. Two low-energy excited states arise from n → π* transitions in uracil. The first is due to excitation of the C₄? O group, while the second is associated with excitation of the C₂? O group. In the first n → π* state, hydrogen bonds at O₄ are broken, so that the open water–uracil dimer at O₄ dissociates. The “wobble” dimer, in which a water molecule is essentially free to move between its position in an open structure at N₃? H and a cyclic structure at N₃? H and O₄ in the ground state, collapses to a different “wobble” dimer at N₃? H and O₂ in the excited state. The third dimer, a “wobble” dimer at N₁? H and O₂, remains intact, but is destabilized relative to the ground state. Although hydrogen bonds at O₂ are broken in the second n → π* state, the three water–uracil dimers remain bound. The “wobble” dimer at N₁? H and O₂ changes to an excited open dimer at N₁? H. The “wobble” dimer at N₃? H and O₄ remains intact, and the open dimer at O₄ is further stabilized upon excitation. Dimer blue shifts of n → π* bands are nearly additive in 2:1 and 3:1 water:uracil structures. The fates of the three 2:1 water:uracil trimers and the 3:1 water:uracil tetramer in the first and second n → π* states are determined by the fates of the corresponding excited dimers in these states.

Cation radicals. XXXII. Reaction of N-ethylcarbazole with iodine-silver salts. Nitration of N-ethylcarbazole

Reaction of N-ethylcarbazole ( 1 ) with iodine-silver perchlorate gave a green solution having a singlet esr signal. Reduction of the solution with potassium iodide gave N,N′ -diethyl-3,3′-dicarbazolyl ( 3 , 48%). Small amounts of 3-iodo- ( 4 ) and 3,6-diiodo-N-ethylcarbazole ( 5 ) were also obtained. Compounds 4 and 5 are believed to have been formed by electrophilic iodination of 1 by I₂-AgCIO₄, whereas 3 appears to have been formed via the dimerization of 1 ^.+. In accord with this, reaction of 1 with iodine-silver nitrite gave 3-nitro-N-ethylcarbazole ( 6 , 61%), 9% of another nitro-N-ethylcarbazole ( 7 ), thought to be either 1- or 4-nitro-N-ethylcarbazole, and 28% of 4. Thus, trapping of 1 ^.+ by nucleophilic nitrite ion occurred even though 1 ^.+ is not stable enough toward isolation as the perchlorate.     

Novel dialkylaminoalkyl- and dialkylaminoalcoxi-benzophenones as photoinitiators of polymerization. I. Photochemical characteristics and radical efficiencies

The behavior of the nonconjugated aminated benzophenones—4-[2′-N,N-(diethylamino)ethoxy]benzophenone (E4), 2-[2′-N,N-(diethylamino)ethoxy]-4-methoxybenzophenone (E2), and 4-N,N-dimethylaminomethylbenzophenone (DM)—as photoinitiators of MMA polymerization has been studied and the results compared with those obtained with the conjugated aminobenzophenone 4-N,N-dimethylamino-4′-isopropyl-benzophenone (CU—MI). Photoreduction behavior of these compounds in various solvents in the presence and absence of MMA has been also examined. The order of the polymerization reaction with respect to monomer and initiator concentrations has been investigated; values of initiation quantum yield (Φ_i), K_p/K^1/2_t and efficiencies of the different radicals have also been determined. Similar polymerization rates (R_p) of methyl methacrylate (MMA) were found when E4 and CU-MI were used as photoinitiators under the same range of absorbed irradiation intensity. This fact results from a compensation between the higher rate of E4 radical production (n-π* transition type) and the greater reactivity of the radicals generated from CU-MI.     

Reactions of <Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-and <Emphasis Type="Italic">C</Emphasis>-Alkenylanilines: VII. Synthesis of Indole Heterocycles from Products of Reaction between <Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-Mesyl-2-(1-alken-1-yl)anilines and Halogens

N-Mesyl-2-(1-methyl-1-butenyl)-6-methylaniline reacted with Br₂ to afford N-mesyl-2-(3-bromo-1-penten-2-yl)aniline that under treatment with NH₃ or amines underwent cyclization into N-mesyl-7-methyl-3-methylene-2-ethylindoline. The reaction of N-mesyl-2-(1-methyl-1-buten-1-yl)-4-methyl- and 2-(1-methyl-1-buten-1-yl)aniline with Br₂ gave rise to the corresponding N-mesyl-2-(2-bromo-1-methyl-1-buten-1-yl)anilines. Under the similar conditions N-tosyl-2-(1-cyclohexen-1-yl)aniline was converted into N-tosyl-2-(6-bromo-1-cyclohexen-1-yl)aniline that under treatment with NH₃ furnished N-tosyl-1,2,3,9a-tetrahydrocarbazole. The reaction of N-mesyl-1,2,3,9a-tetrahydrocarbazole with CuBr₂ in MeOH afforded N-mesyl-4-methoxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydrocarbazole. N-Mesyl-6-methyl-2-(1-cyclopenten-1-yl)aniline in reaction with Br₂ in the presence of NaHCO₃ was oxidized into the corresponding cyclopentenone, and with NBS it gave N-mesyl-2-(2-bromo-1-cyclopenten-1-yl)aniline.__________Translated from Zhurnal Organicheskoi Khimii, Vol. 41, No. 5, 2005, pp. 730–737.Original Russian Text Copyright © 2005 by Gataullin, Sotnikov, Spirikhin, Abdrakhmanov.     

An Efficient Method for the Synthesis of N-Acylsulfonamides: One-pot Sulfonylation and Acylation of Primary Arylamines under Solvent-Free Conditions

Summary. The preparation of N-acylsulfonamides is described using primary amines, arylsulfonyl chlorides and acyl chlorides. Reaction of primary aryl amines with arylsulfonyl chlorides in the presence of NaHCO₃ produced N-arylsulfonamides, which reacted in situ with benzoyl chloride furnishing the corresponding N-benzoyl-N-arylsulfonamides in 72–96% yields. Accordingly, 4-nitrobenzoyl chloride and 3,5-dinitrobenzoyl chloride were used as acylating agents. All the reactions were carried out under solvent-free conditions at room temperature and the products were isolated after simple work-up in high yields and purity.     

Planarity of benzoyldithiocarbazate tuberculostatics. II. Diesters of benzoyldithiocarbazic acid

The emergence of drug‐resistant strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis has intensified efforts to identify new lead tuberculostatics. Our earlier studies concluded that the planarity of a molecule correlates well with its tuberculostatic activity. According to our hypothesis, only derivatives whose molecules are capable of adopting a planar conformation may show tuberculostatic activity. The structures of three new potentially tuberculostatic compounds, namely N′‐[bis(methylsulfanyl)methylidene]‐N‐methyl‐4‐nitrobenzohydrazide (denoted G1), C₁₁H₁₃N₃O₃S₂, N′‐[bis(benzylsulfanyl)methylidene]‐N‐methyl‐4‐nitrobenzohydrazide (denoted G2), C₂₃H₂₁N₃O₃S₂, and N′‐[(benzylsulfanyl)(methylsulfanyl)methylidene]‐4‐nitrobenzohydrazide (denoted G3), C₁₆H₁₅N₃O₃S₂, were determined by X‐ray diffraction. The significant distortion from planarity caused by the methyl substituent at the N atom of the hydrazide group or the NO₂ substituent in the aromatic ring leads to the loss of tuberculostatic activity for G1, G2 and G4 {systematic name: N′‐[bis(methylsulfanyl)methylidene]‐2‐nitrobenzohydrazide}. A similar effect is observed when there are large substituents at the S atoms (G2 and G3).     

Sels de Pyrylium. XVIII. Etude par RMN du Carbone-13 de Sels d'Aminopyrylium et des Barrières de Rotation dans quelques Cations N,N-Diméthylaminopyrylium

The C-2—N bond of 2-N,N-dimethylaminopyrylium cations has a partial π character due to the conjugation of the nitrogen lone-pair with the ring. The values of ΔG^≠, ΔH^≠, ΔS^≠ parameters related to the corresponding hindered rotation have been determined by ¹³C NMR total bandshape analysis. This conjugation decreases the electrophilic character of carbon C-4 so that the displacement of the alkoxy group is no longer possible. Such a hindered rotation also exists in 4-N,N-dimethylaminopyrylium cations and the corresponding ΔG^≠ parameters have been evaluated. Comparison of these two cationic species shows that hindered rotation around the C—N bond is larger in position 4 than in position 2. Furthermore, the barrier to internal rotation around the C-2? N bond decreases with increasing electron donating power of the substituent at position 4. ΔG^≠ values decreases from 19.1 kcal mol^?1 (79.9 kJ mol^?1) to 12.6 kcal mol^?1 (52.7 kJ mol^?1) according to the following sequence for the R-4 substituents: -C₆H₅, -CH₃, -OCH₃, -N(CH₃)₂.
