Organosilicon chalcogenides with trisilane units - bicyclo[3.3.1]nonanes, bicyclo[3.2.2]nonanes and spiro[4.4]nonanes

Treatment of 1,2,3-trichloropentamethyltrisilane (1) with H₂S/NEt₃ results in the formation of a mixture of two isomers of (Me₅Si₃)₂S₃ with a bicyclo[3.3.1]nonane (2a) and a bicyclo[3.2.2]nonane (2b) skeleton, while the reaction of 1 with Li₂Se yields one product only, (Me₅Si₃)₂Se₃ (3a), with a bicyclo[3.3.1]nonane structure. Besides ¹H, ¹³C, ²⁹Si and ⁷⁷Se NMR spectroscopy 3a has also been characterized by a crystal structure analysis.Compounds Si(SiMe₂EMR₂E)₂ (5a-h: MR₂: SiMe₂ (5a, c, d), SiPh₂ (5b), GeMe₂ (5e, f), SnMe₂ (5g, h); E=S (5a, b, e, g), Se (5c, f, h), Te (5d)) with a spiro[4.4]nonane skeleton have been obtained in mixture with varying amounts of the corresponding six-membered rings (R₂ME)₃ by reactions of mixtures of 1,2,2,3-tetrachlorotetramethyltrisilane (4) and diorganodichlorosilanes, Me₂GeCl₂ or Me₂SnCl₂, with H₂S/NEt₃, Li₂Se or Li₂Te and have been characterized in situ by multinuclear NMR spectroscopy (¹H, ¹³C, ²⁹Si, ¹¹⁹Sn, ⁷⁷Se, ¹²⁵Te) and GC-MS.     

Several transformations of 3-benzyl-9-carbethoxymethyl-3,9-diazabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane

The transformations of 3-benzyl-9-carbethoxymethyl-3,9-diazabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane (I) were studied. The dichloride of 9-(-chloroethyl)-3,9-diazabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane, which is readily cyclized in the basic form to 3,9-diazatricyclo[3.3.1.2^3,9]undecane (V), was synthesized by reduction of I with LiAlH₄ and debenzylation with subsequent replacement of the hydroxy group, in the alcohol formed, by chlorine. An unusual cleavage of the carboxymethyl residue to form the nitrogen-unsubstituted dichloride of 3,9-diazabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane (XI) occurs on treatment with thionyl chloride of the acid obtained by saponification and debenzylation of I.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 10, pp. 1372–1375, October, 1970.     

A general and efficient synthesis of 3,6-diazabicyclo[3.2.1]octanes

A convenient and efficient synthesis of N⁶-substituted 3,6-diazabicyclo[3.2.1]octanes (6a-c) has been achieved starting from suitably substituted lactams, which were converted to nitroenamines followed by reductive cyclization to afford 3,6-diazabicyclo[3.2.1]octane-2-ones in good yields. These bicyclic lactams were then reduced to the corresponding 3,6-diazabicyclo[3.2.1]octanes and converted to the required N³,N⁶-disubstituted 3,6-diazabicyclo[3.2.1]octanes (7a-h), which were screened for α₁-adrenoceptors antagonistic activities.

Aminomethylation of triethylammonium 4-aryl-3,5-dicyano-6-oxo-1,4,5,6-tetrahydropyridin-2-olates and their sulfur and selenium analogs, as well as the structure of formed products, were studied in details. The reaction is of general character and leads to the formation of 7-substituted 9-aryl-2,4-dioxo-, 9-aryl-4-oxo-2-thioxo-, 9-aryl-4-oxo-2-selenoxo-3,7-diazabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane derivatives or their salts. The structures of ethyl 9-(2-chlorophenyl)-5-cyano-7-(4-methylphenyl)-2-oxo-4-thioxo-3,7-diazabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane-1-carboxylate (as a complex with N-methylmorpholine) and triethylammonium salt of 7-benzyl-4-oxo-2-selenoxo-9-(2-thienyl)-3,7-diazabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane-1,5-dicarbonitrile were studied by X-ray crystallography.     

Bacilosarcins A and B, novel bioactive isocoumarins with unusual heterocyclic cores from the marine-derived bacterium Bacillus subtilis

Two novel isocoumarins, bacilosarcins A (1) and B (2) were isolated from a culture broth of the marine-derived bacterium Bacillus subtilis TP-B0611. The structures and absolute configurations of 1 and 2 were determined on the basis of spectroscopic analyses and chemical conversions. Compound 1 possesses an unprecedented 3-oxa-6,9-diazabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane ring system while 2 has a 2-hydroxymorpholine moiety that is rare in nature. These compounds showed growth inhibition against barnyard millet.     

From N,N-diphenyl-N-naphtho[2,1-b]thieno[2,3-b:3′,2′-d]dithiophene-5-yl-amine to propeller-shaped N,N,N-tri(naphtho[2,1-b]thieno[2,3-b:3′,2′-d]dithiophene-5-yl)-amine: syntheses and structures

Three unique propeller-shaped helicenyl amines compounds: N,N-diphenyl-N-naphtho[2,1-b]thieno[2,3-b:3′,2′-d]dithiophene-5-yl-amine (1), N-phenyl-N,N-di(naphtho[2,1-b]thieno[2,3-b:3′,2′-d]dithiophene-5-yl)amine (2), and N,N,N-tri(naphtho[2,1-b]thieno[2,3-b:3′,2′-d]dithiophene-5-yl)amine (3) were efficiently synthesized by Wittig reaction and oxidative photocyclization. The crystal structures of 1, 2 and molecular configuration optimization (DFT-B3LYP/6-31+G(d)) of 3 reveal that the steric hindrance from the moiety of trithia[5]helicene effectively forces the nitrogen atom and the three bonded carbon atoms to coplanar and the interplanar angles of the facing terminal thiophene ring and benzene ring becoming larger when the helical arm increased from 1 to 3. Electrochemical properties and UV–vis absorption behaviors of 1, 2, 3 were primarily determined by the moiety of trithia[5]helicene.     

An expedient, regioselective synthesis of 2-alkylamino- and 2-alkylthiothiazolo[5,4-e]indoles

1-Benzenesulfonyl-5-aminoindole 5, prepared from 5-nitroindole 3, was condensed with alkyl isothiocyanates and separately with carbon disulfide and alkyl bromides/iodides to furnish efficiently the corresponding N-alkyl-thioureidoindoles 6a-c and the alkyl N-(indol-5′-yl)dithiocarbamates 9a-e, respectively. Their cyclisation using N-bromosuccinimide (NBS) and 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (DBU), in the cold, followed by indolic N-deprotection, furnished regioselectively the 2-alkylamino- and the 2-alkylthiothiazolo[5,4-e]indoles 8a-c and 11a-e, respectively, in good overall yields.     

Two new water-soluble derivatives of 1,3,5-triaza-7-phosphaadamantane (PTA): Synthesis,characterization, X-ray analysis and solubility studies of 3,7-diformyl-1,3,7-triaza-5-phosphabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane and 1-pyridylmethyl-3,5-diaza-1-azonia-7-phosphatricyclo[3.3.1.1]decane bromide

Two water-soluble phosphines, 3,7-diformyl-1,3,7-triaza-5-phosphabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane (1, DFPTA) and 1-pyridylmethyl-3,5-diaza-1-azonia-7-phosphatricyclo[3.3.1.1]decane bromide (2, [pymePTA]Br), have been respectively, prepared by reacting 1,3,5-triaza-7-phosphaadamantane (PTA) with formic anhydride and bromomethylpyridine. Compound 1 is only the second acyl derivative of PTA to be prepared while 2 is only the second derivative of PTA reported that contains an aromatic appendage. Both compounds were characterized by elemental analysis, FAB-MS, ¹H, ¹³C, and ³¹P NMR spectroscopy, and single crystal X-ray diffraction. This analysis showed that the formamide groups of 1 were in an anti confirmation in solution but in a syn confirmation in the solid state. The solubilities of 1 and 2 were examined in common organic solvents and water. It was found that 1.1 M aqueous solutions of 1 could be prepared while 2.4 M solutions of 2 were produced. The greater solubility of 2 was likely due to its ionic nature.

Bisazocalix[4]arenes [N,N′-bis(5-azo-25,26,27-tribenzoyloxy-28-hydroxycalix[4]arene)benzene (1), N,N′-bis(5-azo-25,26,27-tribenzoyloxy-28-hydroxycalix[4]arene)biphenyl (2) and N,N′-bis(5-azo-25,26,27-tribenzoyloxy-28-hydroxycalix[4]arene)-2,2′-dinitro biphenyl (3)] have been synthesized from 25,26,27-tribenzoyloxy-28-hydroxycalix[4]arene by diazocoupling with the corresponding aromatic diamines (p-phenylenediamine, 4,4′-diamino biphenyl and 4,4′-diamino-2,2′-dinitrobiphenyl). Extraction studies of bisazocalix[4]arenes 1, 2, and 3 show no difference in their extraction behavior and selectivity, whereas azocalix[4]arenes are a poor extractant for heavy metal cations. The absorption spectra of the prepared bisazocalix[4]arenes are discussed, both the effect of varying pH and solvent upon the absorption ability of bisazocalix[4]arenes.

7-Hydroxy-3, 9-diazabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane is synthesized, starting from the dimethyl ester of the 4-hydroxypiperidine-2, 6-dicarboxylic acid, by preparing the N-benzyl derivative and cyclizing the latter with benzylamine to the benzylimide of the 1-benzyl-4-hydroxypiperidine-2, 6-dicarboxylic acid. On reduction of the given imide with lithium aluminum hydride and catalytic hydrogenolysis of the benzyl groups, the final 7-hydroxy-3,9-diazabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane is obtained, the three-dimensional structure of which (chair-chair type) is proved by comparison of its methyl derivative with a known compound of demonstrated three-dimensional structure.

Design and synthesis of a 1,5-diazabicyclo[6,3,0] dodecane amino acid derivative as a novel dipeptide reverse-turn mimetic

N-Boc-1,5-diazabicyclo[6,3,0] dodecane amino acid tert-butyl ester (3), designed as a novel dipeptide reverse-turn mimetic, was synthesized in a concise method from the known compound 4 in an overall yield of 47%.     

New iminophosphorane-mediated synthesis of thieno[3′,2′:4,5]thieno[3,2-d]pyrimidin-4(3H)-ones and 5H-2,3-dithia-5,7-diaza-cyclopenta[c,d]indenes

Mono(iminophosphorane) 4 was selectively prepared from the reaction of 3,4-diaminothieno[2,3-b]thiophene 3 with excess triphenylphosphine, C₂Cl₆, and Et₃N due to intramolecular double hydrogen bond formation. Mono(iminophosphorane) 4 reacted with aromatic isocyanates to give stable carbodiimides 8, which were further treated with aliphatic secondary or primary amines to give 2-amino substituted thieno[3′,2′:4,5]thieno[3,2-d]pyrimidin-4(3H)-ones 10 or 12 in the presence of a catalytic amounts of EtO⁻Na⁺. However, in the presence of a catalytic amounts of potassium carbonate, the carbodiimides 8 were transformed into previously unreported 5H-2,3-dithia-5,7-diaza-cyclopenta[c,d]indenes 13 via direct cyclization in high yields. The reaction of carbodiimides 8 with phenols in the presence of a catalytic amounts of potassium carbonate gave a mixture of 2-aryloxy substituted thieno[3′,2′:4,5]thieno[3,2-d]pyrimidin-4(3H)-ones 14 and 13. X-ray structure analysis of 10m supported the structure and the proposed reactivity of amino group.     

Synthesis and properties of 4,9-methanoundecafulvenes and their transformation to 3-substituted 7,12-methanocycloundeca[4,5]furo[2,3-d]pyrimidine-2,4(1H,3H)-diones: photo-induced autorecycling oxidizing reaction toward amines

The synthesis and properties of 4,9-methanoundecafulvene [5-(4,9-methanocycloundeca-2′,4′,6′,8′,10′-pentaenylidene)pyrimidine-2,4,6(1,3,5H)-trione] derivatives 8a,b were studied. Their structural characteristics were investigated on the basis of the ¹H and ¹³C NMR and UV-vis spectra. The rotational barrier (ΔG^‡) around the exocyclic double bond of 8a was found to be 12.55 kcal mol⁻¹ by the variable temperature ¹H NMR measurement. The electrochemical properties of 8a,b were also studied by CV measurement. Furthermore, the transformation of 8a,b to 3-substituted 7,12-methanocycloundeca[4,5]furo[2,3-d]pyrimidine-2,4(1H,3H)-diones 16a,b was accomplished by oxidative cyclization using DDQ and subsequent ring-opening and ring-closure. The structural details and chemical properties of 16a,b were clarified. Reaction of 16a with deuteride afforded C13-adduct 19 as the single product, and thus, the methano-bridge controls the nucleophilic attack to prefer endo-selectivity. The photo-induced oxidation reaction of 16a and a vinylogous compound, 3-methylcyclohepta[4,5]furo[2,3-d]pyrimidine-2,4(3H)-dione 2a, toward some amines under aerobic conditions were carried out to give the corresponding imines (isolated by converting to the corresponding 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazones) with the recycling number of 6.1-64.0 (for 16a) and 2.7-17.2 (for 2a), respectively.     

Novel design of 3,8-diazabicyclo[3.2.1]octane framework in oxidative sulfonamidation of 1,5-hexadiene

1,5-Hexadiene reacts with trifluoromethanesulfonamide in the oxidative system (t-BuOCl+NaI) to give trans-2,5-bis(iodomethyl)-1-(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)pyrrolidine 5 and 3,8-bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)-3,8-diazabicyclo[3.2.1]octane 6. With arenesulfonamides ArSO₂NH₂ (Ar=Ph, Tol), the reaction stops at the formation of the trans and cis isomers of 2,5-bis(iodomethyl)-1-(arenesulfonyl)pyrrolidine 7 and 8 (1:1). The cis isomers of 7 and 8 do not undergo cyclization to the corresponding 3,8-disubstituted 3,8-diazabicyclo[3.2.1]octanes. The reaction with triflamide represents the first example of one-pot two-step route to 3,8-diazabicyclo[3.2.1]octane system.     

Diazabicycloalkanes with nitrogen atoms in bridgehead positions. 24. Synthesis and reactions of benzo[f]-1,5-diazabicyclo[3.2.2]nonen-3-one

Benzo[f]-1,5-diazabicyclo[3.2.2]nonen-3-one was synthesized by the oxidation of benzo[f]-1,5-diazabicydo[3.2.2]nonen-3-ol by dimethyl sulfoxide in the presence of N,N-dicycohexylcarbodiimide and the reactions of this compound with 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine, phenylmagnesium bromide, and condensation with 4-nitro-benzaldehyde were carried out. It was shown that on heating with hydrobromic acid, benzo[f]-1,5-diazabicyclo[3.2.2]nonen-3-one undergoes dealkylation with the formation of 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoxaline.For Communication 23, see [1].Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 8, pp. 1117–1120, August, 1991.     

A new synthetic procedure to spiro[cyclohexane-1,3′-indoline]-2′,4-diones

A new synthetic pathway to spiro[cyclohexane-1,3′-indoline]-2′,4-diones was found starting from 3-chloromethylene-2-indolones 1 and Danishefsky's diene 2. Their synthesis consists of several steps involving the formation of the cycloadducts, the 6-chloro-4-trimethylsilyloxy-2-methoxyspiro[cyclohex-3-en-1,3′-indolin]-2′-one derivatives, transformed into spiro[cyclohexa-2,5-dien-1,3′-indoline]-2′,4-diones via 6-chloro-spiro[cyclohex-2-en-1,3′-indoline]-2′,4-dione intermediates. The reduction of spiro[cyclohexa-2,5-dien-1,3′-indoline]-2′,4-diones gave spiro[cyclohexane-1,3′-indoline]-2′,4-diones 7. Using a ‘one pot reaction’, starting from 1 and 2, compounds 7 were obtained in satisfactory overall yield.     

An approach to water-soluble hydrogenase active site models: Synthesis and electrochemistry of diiron dithiolate complexes with 3,7-diacetyl-1,3,7-triaza-5-phosphabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane ligand(s)

In order to improve the hydro- and protophilicity of the active site models of the Fe-only hydrogenases, three diiron dithiolate complexes with DAPTA ligand(s) (DAPTA = 3,7-diacetyl-1,3,7-triaza-5-phosphabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane), (μ-pdt)[Fe(CO)₃][Fe(CO)₂(DAPTA)] (1, pdt = 1,3-propanedithiolato), (μ-pdt)[Fe(CO)₂(DAPTA)]₂ (2) and (μ-pdt)[Fe(CO)₂(PTA)][Fe(CO)₂(DAPTA)] (3), were prepared and spectroscopically characterized. The water solubility of DAPTA-coordinate complexes 1-3 is better than that of the PTA-coordinate analogues. With complexes 1-3 as electrocatalysts, the overvoltage is reduced by 460-770 mV for proton reduction from acetic acid at low concentration in CH₃CN. Significant decrease, up to 420 mV, in reduction potential for the Fe(I)Fe(I) to Fe(I)Fe(0) process and the curve-crossing phenomenon are observed in cyclic voltammograms of 2 and 3 in CH₃CN/H₂O mixtures. The introduction of the DAPTA ligand to the diiron dithiolate model complexes indeed makes the water solubility of 2 and 3 sufficient for electrochemical studies in pure water, which show that the proton reduction from acetic acid in pure water is electrochemically catalyzed by 2 and 3 at ca. −1.3 V vs. NHE.     

A practical one-pot procedure for the synthesis of pyrazino[2′,3′:4,5]thieno[3,2-d]pyrimidinones by a tandem aza-Wittig/heterocumulene-mediated annulation strategy

A simple one-pot and efficient method is described for the synthesis of pyrazino[2′,3′:4,5]thieno[3,2-d]pyrimidinone derivatives 6 via a tandem aza-Wittig/heterocumulene-mediated annulation process. The iminophosphorane 3 reacted with aryl isocyanates, followed by heterocyclization on addition of secondary amines to give the corresponding guanidine intermediates 5, which were cyclized in the presence of a catalytic amount of potassium carbonate to tricyclic compounds 6. Similarly, iminophosphorane 3 reacts with phenols, thiophenol, or ROH to give 2-aryl(alkyl)oxy(thio)pyrazino[2′,3′:4,5]thieno[3,2-d]pyrimidinone derivatives 7 in good yields. The corresponding carbodiimide 4c and guanidine-type intermediate compounds 5 could be isolated and characterized, thus confirming the suggested reaction pathway. However, two isomeric pyrazinothienopyrimidinones 8 and 9 may be produced in the reaction of iminophosphorane 3 with aromatic isocyanates and subsequent reaction with primary amines in the presence of a catalytic amount of potassium carbonate. The effects of the nucleophiles and isocyanates on the regioselectivity of the cyclization have been investigated.
