Chemical reactions of cycloalkanespirohydantoins. Part 3. Acid-catalyzed reaction of 4-hydroxy-2-imidazolidinones. Preparation of bis(1,3-diaza-2-oxospiro[4,5]decyl-4) ether

The use of N-carbamoyliminium ion initiated reactions for the generation of spiroimidazolidin-2-ones has been successfully exploited. N₃-Substituted-4-hydroxy-2-imidazolidinones have been treated under acid conditions to give the rearranged imidazolinones. Only in the case of N₃-dialkylaminomethyl-4-hydroxy-5-cyclohexanespiro-2-imidazolidinones upon treatment with trifluoroacetic anhydride/trifluoroacetic acid afforded a mixture containing bis(1,3-diaza-2-oxospiro[4,5]decyl-4) ether with the rearranged imidazolidinone.     

Chemical reactions of cycloalkanespirohydantoins. Part 2. Synthesis of new 4-hydroxyimidazolidinone N3-substituted from cycloalkanespirohydantoins

Acetylenchemie, 33. Mitt.: Synthese von 2-substituierten Dihydrofuro[2,3-b]chinolinen

Summary The reaction of 3-iodo-4-methoxy-2(1H)-quinolinone (1) and 3-iodo-4,6,8-trimethoxy-2(1H)-quinolinone (2) with 2-methyl-3-butyn-2-ol under modified Heck-conditions gave the 2-substituted derivatives 2-(1-hydroxy-1-methylethyl)-4-methoxyfuro[2,3-b]-quinoline (3) and 2-(1-hydroxy-1-methylethyl-4,6,8-trimethoxyfuro[2,3-b]-quinoline (4). By a subsequent hydrogenation-reaction with a homogeneous catalyst (PtO₂/Rh₂O₃), the furoquinoline-derivatives yielded the dihydrofuro-[2,3-b]quinolines, identified as 2-(1-hydroxy-1-methylethyl-4-methoxy-2,3-dihydrofuro[2,3-b]quinoline (5) (racemic platydesmine) and 2-(1-hydroxy-1-methylethyl)-4,6,8-trimethoxy-2,3-dihydrofuro-[2,3-b]quinoline (6) (racemic precursor of O⁴-methylptelefolonium salt).

Brominations of Cyclic Acetals from α-Amino Acids and α- or β-Hydroxy Acids with N-Bromosucinimide

The preparation of novel electrophilic building blocks for the synthesis of enantiomerically pure compounds (EPC) is described. Thus, the 2-(tert-butyl)dioxolanones, -oxazolidinones, -imidazolidinones, and -dioxanones obtained by acetalization of pivalaldehyde with 2-hydroxy-, 3-hydroxy-, or 2-amino-carboxylic acids are treated with N-bromosuccinimide under typical radical-chain reaction conditions (azoisobuytyronitril/CCl₄/reflux). Products of bromination in the α-position of the carbonyl group of the five-membered-ring acetals are isolated or identified ( 2, 5 , and 8 ; Scheme 1). The dioxanones are converted to 2H, 4H-dioxinones under these conditions ( 12 , 14 , 15 , 21 , and 22 ; Schemes 2 and 3). The products can be converted to chiral derivatives of pyruvic acid (methylidene derivatives 3 and 6 ) or of 3-oxo-butanoic and -pentanoic acid ( 16 and 23 ). The mechanism of the brominations is interpreted. The conversion of serine to enactiomcrically pure dioxanones 26–28 (Scheme 4) is also discussed.     

Synthese und chemie von 4R-silacyclohexa-2,5-dienen und 4R-silacyclohexa-2,4-dienen

The 1(Z),4(Z)-1,5-dilithium-3R-3-methoxypenta-1,4-dienes, available by cleavage of 1,1-di-n-butyl-4R-4-methoxy-1-stannacyclohexane-2,5-dienes with n-BuLi in ether, react with dichlorosilanes (R′R″ SiCl₂; R′, R″ = H, alkyl, aryl, alkoxy) to give 1R′,1R″,4R-4-methoxy-1-silacyclohexa-2,5-dienes.Claevage of the ether group with BBr₃, BCl₃ or PCl₃ gives 6-chloro(bromo)-1-silacyclohexa-2,4-dienes or 1,5-dichloro-1-silacyclohexane-2,4-dienes, respectively.Ether cleavage of 4R-4-methoxy-1-silacyclohexa-2,5-dienes with sodium results in the formation of 4R-1-silacyclohexadienyl anions, which can be hydrolyzed to give 1-silacyclohexa-2,4-dienes which reach further with trichloromethylsilane to give 6-trimethylsilyl-1-silacyclohexa-2,4-dienes.Phase transfer-catalyzed conversion of 1-chlorosilacyclohexadienes into the fluoro derivatives as well as further substitution reactions of 1-chlorosilacyclohexadienes are described.The ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, IR and mass spectra of the silacyclohexadienes are discussed.     

Reaction of aromatic aldehydes with β-dicarbonyl compounds in a catalytic system: Piperidinium acetate-1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ionic liquid

Condensation of aromatic (heteroaromatic) aldehydes with 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds under the 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ([Bmim][BF₄]) ionic liquid-piperidinium acetate catalytic system (0.2 equiv. of each component) in the absence of a solvent affords, depending on the structures of the reagents, 2-arylidene derivatives of methyl acetoacetate and acetylacetone, diethyl 2,4-bis(trifluoroacetyl)-3-phenylpentanedioate, or dimethyl 2-aryl-4-hydroxy-6-oxocyclohexane-1,3-dicarboxylates. The reactions of the resulting 2-arylidene derivatives with O-methylisourea in the [Bmim][BF₄] ionic liquid produced methyl 2-methoxy-4-methyl-6-aryldihydropyrimidine-5-carboxylates and 1-(2-methoxy-4-methyl-6-phenyldihydropyrimidin-5-yl)ethanone (mixtures of 3,6- and 1,6-dihydro isomers), which were transformed into the corresponding 3,4-dihydropyrimidin-2(1H)-one derivatives.

Diorganotin(IV) Complexes of Some Schiff Bases With a Potential Biological Activity

Diorganotin dichloride compounds, Rl₂SnCl₂ (R=Me, nBu, Ph) react with Schiff bases (L), derived from substituted and non-substituted 2- or 3-aminopyridine with 2-hydroxy-, 2-methoxy- or 2-hydroxy-3-methoxy-benzaldehyde in a 1 : 1 molar ratio, to give complexes of general formula R₂SnCl₂·L. It is suggested that the Schiff bases coordinate with tin in bidentate fashion to give hexacoordinate tin species. Almost all the complexes prepared show some 1 : 1 molar conductivity in ethanol and DMF, indicating on R₂Sn(L)Cl⁺ Cl⁻ ionic structure type. The complexes were screened against seven species of bacteria.

Cyclic imides III. A study of the hydroxy- and methoxyphthalimidoacetic acids and the methyl methoxyphthalimidoacetates

The hydroxy- and methoxyphthalimidoacetic acids and the methyl methoxyphthalimidoacetates have been synthesized. The ultraviolet absorption spectra of these compounds in 95% ethanol, aqueous acid, and aqueous base are discussed. Structures are suggested for the hydroxy- and methoxyphthalamate ions which are formed in basic solution. The Gabriel-Colman rearrangements of methyl 3- and 4 - methoxyphthalimidoacetate give, respectively, 8-methoxy-4-hydroxy-3 - carbomethoxy-1(2H)-isoquinolone (VII) and 6-methoxy-4-hydroxy-3-carbomethoxy-1(2H)-isoquinolone (VIII).     

Synthesis and properties of carbamoyl derivatives of 5-hydroxy-3,3,5-trimethylisoxazolidine

The reaction of 5-hydroxy-3,3,5-trimethylisoxazolidine with alkyl (or aryl) isocyanates gives N-alkyl(aryl)-carbamoyl-5-hydroxy-3,3,5-trimethylisoxazolidines, which react with methanol in the presence of p-toluenesulfonic acid to give 5-methoxy-1-carbamoyl derivatives of isoxazolidine. When arylcarbamoyl-5-hydroxy-3,3,5-trimethylisoxazolidines are heated in carbon tetrachloride, they are converted to O-arylcarbamoyl-N-(2-methyl-4-oxo-2-pentyl)hydroxylamines, the treatment of which with hydrogen chloride in benzene made it possible to isolate 1,2,6-oxadiazepin-7-ones along with the hydrochloride of the given compounds.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 6, pp. 746–750, June, 1979.     

Ritter reaction. Synthesis of 1-substituted 3,3,7,9-tetramethyl-2-azaspiro[4.5]deca-6,9-dien- and -1,6,9-trien-8-ones and 7-methoxy-3,3,6,8-tetramethyl-3,4-dihydroisoquinolines

1-(4-Methoxy-3,5-dimethylphenyl)-2-methylpropan-1-ol reacted with nitriles [MeSCN, PhCN, MeCN, EtOC(O)CH₂CN] in the presence of concentrated sulfuric acid to give both 1-R-3,3,7,9-tetramethyl-2-azaspiro[4,5]deca-6,9-dien- and -1,6,9-trien-8-ones and 1-R-7-methoxy-3,3,6,8-tetramethyl-3,4-dihydroisoquinolines. The reaction with 3,4-dimethoxyphenylacetonitrile afforded 10,11-dimethoxy-1,3,6,6-tetramethyl-1,5,6,12b-tetrahydrodibenzo[d,f]indole-2,8-dione. Three-component condensation of 2-methoxy-1,3-dimethylbenzene with isobutyraldehyde and nitriles led to the formation of spirocyclic systems and 3,4-dihydroisoquinoline derivatives in lower yield.

Photopolymerization studies of alkyl and aryl ester derivatives of ethyl α-hydroxymethylacrylate

Several new benzoate ester derivatives of ethyl α-hydroxymethylacrylate were synthesized using phase transfer catalysis and found to display unexpectedly rapid photopolymerization; i.e., from 2 to 8 times faster than MMA. New derivatives described here include the 4-fluoro-, 4-trifluoromethyl-, 4-methyl-, 2-hydroxy-, 4-nitro-, 4-methoxy-, 4-cyano-, and 3,4,5-trimethoxybenzoate esters along with the parent benzoate ester. Relative reactivities of these monomers in photopolymerizations were compared with those of the nonaromatic formate, acetate, hexanoate, and stearate derivatives. Reactivities of the nonaromatic ester derivatives increased with the length of the side chain while for the more reactive aromatic esters, rates increased in the order 4-methyl-, 4-fluoro- and benzoate < 4-trifluoromethyl- and 2-hydroxy- < 4-cyano- < 4-methoxy- < 3,4,5-trimethoxybenzoate. T_gs of the benzoate polymers ranged from 125°C for the 4-fluoro to 163°C for the 4-cyanobenzoate while those of the alkyl ester derivatives ranged from 15 to 78°C. Number average molecular weights of photoinitiated polymers (ca 10,000–20,000) were lower than those found for bulk and solution polymers (20,000—708,000) consistent with higher radical concentrations from photoinitiation. These materials greatly expand the number of candidates available for rapid photocure in thin film and coating applications, especially because their physical properties are those of linear rather than highly crosslinked structures formed from multifunctional systems. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

3-acyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyridine-2,4-diones: Synthesis and chemical properties

N-Substituted 6-methyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyridine-2,4-diones reacted with aliphatic carboxylic acid chlorides in the presence of pyridine or triethylamine to give the corresponding 4-O-acyl derivatives which underwent O,C-migration of the acyl group by the action of 2 equiv of triethylamine and a catalytic amount of 2-hydroxy-2-methylpropanenitrile. Reactions of 3-acyl-6-methyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyridine-2,4-diones thus formed with aliphatic and aromatic amines gave the corresponding enamino derivatives at the side acyl group. Enamino derivatives at the C⁴ =O group were obtained by transformation of 3-acyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyridine-2,4-diones into 3-acyl-4-methoxy-6-methyl-1,2-dihydropyridin-2-ones via alkylation with dimethyl sulfate and subsequent treatment with amines.     

New 2-methyl-6-alkylamino-5,8-quinolinequinones and 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro derivatives

The syntheses of six new 2-methyl-6-alkylamino-5,8-quinolinequinones, three 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-5,8-quinolinequinones, and 7-(2′,6′,10′-trimethylundecyl)-6-hydroxy-5,8-quinolinequinone are described as potential antimetabolites of coenzyme Q and as potential antimalarial agents. The six 2-methyl-6-alkylamino-5,8-quinolinequinones were prepared by a six-step synthesis. 2-Methyl-6-methoxy-8-nitroquinoline was prepared from 2-nitro-4-methoxyaniline and crotonaldehyde by a Skraup reaction. Raney nickel reduction gave 2-methyl-6-metboxy-8-aminoquinoline, which upon diazotization followed by dithionite reduction yielded 2-methyl-6-methoxy-5,8-diaminoquinoline. Subsequent dichromate oxidation gave 2-methyl-6-methoxy-5,8-quinolinequinone, which yielded the corresponding 2-methyl-6-alkylamino-5,8-quinolinequinone in good yield when treated with the appropriate alkylamine. The telrahydro-5,8-quinolinequinones were prepared by catalytic hydrogenation of the appropriate 5,8-quinolinequinones at elevated H₂ pressure followed by air oxidation of the reduction product. 7-(2′,6′,10′-Trimethylundecyl)-6-hydroxy-5,8-quinolinequinone was synthesized by radical alkylation of 6-hydroxy-5,8-quinolinequinone by thermal decomposition of di-3,7,11-trimethyldodecanoyl peroxide, which was prepared by a multistep procedure from farnesol. Of the five new 2-methyl-6-alkylamino-5,8-quinoline-quinones tested against P. berghei in mice (blood schizonticidal test), only 2-methyl-6-cycloheptylamino-5,8-quinolinequinone was active (T-C = 6.1 at 320 mg./kg.). Both 7-(2′,6′,10′-trimelhytundecyl)-6-hydroxy-5,8-quinolinequinone and the tetrahydro derivatives were inactive in this same test system.     

Studies on the syntheses of heterocyclic compounds—CDLXXXIV : One-step synthesis of dibenzoindolizinium salt and phenolic aporphine by benzyne reaction

An indisputable benzyne reaction of 1-(5-bromo-2,4-dimethoxybenzyl)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-7-hydroxy-6-methoxy-2-methylisoquinoline (1) with NaNH₂ in liquid NH₃ afforded 1-hydroxy-2,8,10-trimethoxy-6-methylaporphine (4) and 5,6,12,12a-tetrahydro-2-hydroxy-3,9,11-trimethoxy-7-methyldibenzo[b,g]indolizinium salt (6).     

Functionalization at C-5 and at the C-6 methyl group of 4-methoxy-6-methyl-2-pyrone

A new entry to C-5 substituted 4-hydroxy-6-methyl-2-pyrones has been achieved. The best conditions to prepare the monobromo and the dibromo derivatives at C-3 and the C-6 methyl group of the title pyrone have been defined. The synthetic applicability of the phosphonium salts at CH₃-C-6 of both 4-methoxy-6-methyl-2-pyrone, 5 , and dehydroacetic acid, 2 , has also been evaluated.     

Synthesis of uniquely substituted 4H-Chromeno[2,3-d] pyrimidin-2-one derivatives by l-Proline catalyzed green chemistry method

This paper describes synthesis of novel 4H-Chromeno[2,3-d] pyrimidin-2-one compounds by green chemistry method using l-proline as the catalyst. Firstly, a one-pot reaction of resorcinol, malononitrile, and benzaldehyde with proline in water at room temperature on reaction gave 2-amino-7-hydroxy-4-phenyl-4H-1-benzopyran-3-carbonitrile and in next step (2-amino-7-hydroxy-4-phenyl-4H-1-benzopyran-3-carbonitrile was alkylated in the presence of K₂CO₃ in dry acetone at 70–80 °C to give substituted benzopyran 3-carbonitriles. The amino and carbonitrile parts in the substrate were converted into different novel substituted chromeno derivatives on cyclization with urea. The presence of a pyrimidine ring makes this moiety highly biologically efficient.     

Synthesis of some 1-methyl-3-alkoxy-5-arylpyrrolecarboxylic acids and derivatives

By a combination of hydrolysis, decarboxylation, and methylation diethyl 1-methyl-3-hydroxy-5-phenylpyrrole-2,4-dicarboxylate was converted into 1-methyl-3-methoxy-5-phenyl-pyrrole-2,4-dicarboxylic acid (5) and into the isomeric compounds ethyl 1-methyl-2-phenyl-4-methoxypyrrole-3-carboxylate (4a) and ethyl 1-methyl-3-methoxy-5-phenylpyrrole-2-carboxylate (9a). 1-Methyl-2-phenyl-4-methoxypyrrole-3-carboxylic acid was synthesized both by the selective decarboxylation of 5 and by the hydrolysis of 4a. Hydrolysis of 9a, however, did not give the corresponding acid, but rather an oxidation product, 1-methyl-3-methoxy-5-hydroxy-5-phenyl-3-pyrrolin-2-onc (10a). Compound 10a was shown to arise from the air oxidation of the completely decarboxylated product, 1-methyl-2-phenyl-4-methoxypyrrole. Reduction of 9a with lithium aluminum hydride gave 1-methyl-3-methoxy-5-phenylpyrrole-2-methanol, which yielded 10a upon oxidation with silver oxide.
