5-Trifluoromethylfuryl derivatives of phosphocarboxylic acids

Methods of synthesis of trifluoromethylfuryl derivatives of phosphonocarboxylic acids are studied. By addition of diethyl hydrogen phosphite to alkyl 3-(5-trifluoromethylfur-2-yl)acrylate under the conditions of the Pudovik reaction the corresponding derivative of 3-phosphonopropionic acid was prepared. Diethyl (5-trifluoromethylfur-2-yl)methanephosphonate in presence of potassium tert-butylate reacts with ethyl acrylate to form trifluoromethylfuryl derivative of 4-phosphonobutyric or 4-phosphonopimelic acid depending on the reaction conditions. In the products of reaction of the alkyl 3-(5-trifluoromethylfur-2-yl)-3-(diethoxyphosphoryl) propionate with ethyl acrylate in the presence of potassium tert-butylate formation of trifluoromethylfuryl derivative of the 3-phosphonoadipic acid is detected. 3-(5-Trifluoromethylfur-2-yl)-3-(diethoxyphosphoryl) propionic acid and its acid chloride are synthesized. The latter compound is used for acylation of glycine to form the corresponding N-acyl derivative. It is suggested that such compounds may be transported in the cell using usual channels of transportation of the amino acids and short peptides.     

Derivatives of furyl(diethoxyphosphoryl)acetic aldehyde in Wittig reaction

Reactions of furyl(diethoxyphosphoryl)acetic aldehyde containing ester or cyano group in the furan ring with ethoxycarbonylmethylenetriphenylphosphorane has been shown to afford alkyl E-4-(furyl)-4-(diethoxyphosphoryl)but-3(2)-enoates. When treated with potassium tert-butoxide the mixture of alkyl E-4-(3-ethoxycarbonylfur-2-yl)-4-(diethoxyphosphoryl)but-2-enoate and -but-3-enoate gives a potassium salt of CHacid. Its acidifying results in a mixture of starting compounds with a larger amount of -but-3-enoate. Under analogous conditions the mixture of alkyl E-4-(2-ethoxycarbonylfur-3-yl)-4-(diethoxyphosphoryl)but-2-enoate and -but-3-enoate undergoes cyclization to a phosphorylated derivative of alkyl 7-hydroxybenzofuran-6-carboxylate. The cyclization of the mixture of alkyl E-4-(4-ethoxycarbonylfur-3-yl)-4-(diethoxyphosphoryl)but-2-enoate and -but-3-enoate gives analogous derivative of isobenzofuran.     

Reaction of chloromethyl derivatives of ethyl 3-(furyl)-3-(diethoxyphosphoryl)acrylates with sodium azide and potassium thiocyanate

Reaction of chloromethyl derivatives of ethyl 3-furyl-3(diethoxyphosphoryl)acrylates with sodium azide in acetonitrile in the presence of catalytic amount of potassium iodide proceeds with substitution of halogen with the azido group. The same chloromethyl derivatives react with potassium thiocyanate under analogous conditions to give a mixture of thiocyanates and isothiocyanates in (0.6–0.8) : 1 ratio save the case of ethyl 3-(3-chloromethylfur-2-yl)- and 3-(4-chloromethylfur-3-yl)acrylates when only thiocyanates are formed. Bromination of diethyl 5-methyl-2-furoyl phosphonate with N-bromosuccinimide afforded 5-bromomethyl-2-furoyl phosphonate. In the reaction with potassium thiocyanate it forms only thiocyanate.     

Synthesis and Wittig Reaction of Formylated (Trifluoromethylfuryl)methanephosphonates

Methods of synthesis of 4-functionalyzed (5-trifluoromethylfur-2-yl)methanephosphonates and (5-methyl-2-trifluoromethylfur-3-yl)methanephosphonate are developed. Their formylation with ethyl formate in the presence of sodium foil is studied. Spectral characteristics of tautomers of obtained derivatives of phosphonoacetic aldehyde are evaluated. It is shown that interaction of obtained formyl derivatives with ethoxycarbonylmethylenetriphenylphosphorane regardless of the structure of the furan fragment leads to 4-furylsubstituted alkyl 4-(diethoxyphosphoryl)but-3-enoate, the abnormal product of Wittig reaction.

Condensation of ethyl acetoacetate and ethyl 3-oxo-3-(2-furyl-, 2-quinolyl-, 3-pyridyl)propanoates with azomethines of 2-naphthylamine series led to the formation of ethyl (3-arylbenzo[f]quinol-1-yl)acetates and of esters of the corresponding 3-aryl-1-heteryl-2-benzo[f]quinolylcarboxylic acids. The intermediate reaction products were isolated: ethyl 5-(2-naphthylamino)-3-oxo-5-phenylpentanoate, 2-[(aryl)(2-naphthylamino)methyl]-3-heteryl-3-oxopropanoates, dihydro and tetrahydro derivatives of benzoquinolylacetic and benzoquinolinecarboxylic acids.

The reaction of ethyl 4-formyl-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazole-3-carboxylate with the malonic acid led to the formation (2E)-3-(3-ethoxycarbonyl-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)propenic acid. In reactions of this acid chloride with 4-amino-5-aryl(hetaryl)-4H-1,2,4-triazole-3-thiols were obtained ethyl 4-[(E)-2-{3-aryl(hetaryl)[1,2,4]triazolo[3,4-b][1,3,4]thiadiazol-6-yl}ethenyl]-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazoe-3-carboxylates, with 5-aryltetrazoles, ethyl 4-[(E)-2-(5-aryl-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-yl)-ethenyl]-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazole-3-carboxylates, with 1-(2-hydroxy-3,5-dimethylphenyl) followed by the Baker-Venkataraman rearrangement and the cyclization, ethyl 4-[(E)-2-(6,8-dimethyl-4-oxo-4Hchromen-2-yl)ethenyl]-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazole-3-carboxylate.     

Synthesis of isomerically pure 3-(5-trifluoromethyl-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)cinnamic acid derivatives via the reaction of 4-aryl-6-trifluoromethyl-2-pyrones with sodium azide

Treatment of 4-aryl-6-trifluoromethyl-2-pyrones with sodium azide in DMSO afforded the corresponding (Z)-3-(5-trifluoromethyl-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)cinnamic acids in good yields. Similarly, 4-aryl-3-carbethoxy-6-trifluoromethyl-2-pyrones smoothly reacted with sodium azide in acetonitrile to produce (E)-2-ethoxycarbonyl-3-(5-trifluoromethyl-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)cinnamic acids in high yields, whereas their reactions in ethanol, accompanied by a configurational change, gave the thermodynamically more stable (Z)-2-ethoxycarbonyl-3-(5-trifluoromethyl-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)cinnamic acids.

1-(3-R-adamantan-1-yl)-2-[(triphenyl-λ⁵-phosphanylidene)hydrazinylidene]ethanone reacted with 4-aryl(hetaryl)-2,4-dioxobutanoic acids to give 2-{2-[2-(3-R-adamantan-1-yl)-2-oxoethylidene]hydrazinyl}-4-aryl(hetaryl)-4-oxobut-2-enoic acids which were shown to exist in solution as mixtures of Z- and E-isomeric enehydrazine tautomers.

A new CF₂X-analogue of 1,1-bis(trifluoromethyl)-2,2-dicyanoethylene (X = P(O)(OEt)₂), diethyl (1,1-difluoro-3,3-dicyano-2-trifluoromethylallyl)phosphonate, has been synthesized from diethoxyphosphoryl pentafluoroacetone 1. A similar phosphoryl analogue of ethyl 3,3-dicyano-2-trifluoromethylacrylate, ethyl 3,3-dicyano-2-[(diethoxyphosphoryl)difluoromethyl]acrylate, has been obtained from ethyl 3-(diethoxyphosphoryl)-3,3-difluoro-2-oxopropionate 2. By heterocyclization of these new ethylenes with 3-methyl-2-pyrazoline-5-ones, 3(5)-aminopyrazoles, dimedone, 2-aminopyridines, 1-aryl-3-methyl-5-aminopyrazoles, 1,3,3-trimethylisoquinolines, as well as by condensation with anilines and ketones, the difluoromethylphosphonate-substituted derivatives of 1,4-dihydropyrano[2,3-c]pyrazole, 4,5-dihydropyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine, 5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-4H-chromene, 2H-pyrido[1,2-a]pyrimidine, 4,7-dihydro-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridine, 1,4-dihydropyridine, 4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-1H-[1]pyrindine, 1,4,5,6,7,8-hexahydroquinoline, and 6,7-dihydro-2H-pyrido[2,1-a]isoquinoline have been obtained in one stage.     

The Synthesis of Phosphonate Ester Containing Fluorinated Vinyl Ethers

Three novel perfluorovinyl ethers containing phosphonate ester groups, diethyl 1,1,2,2,3,3,5,6,6-nonafluoro-4-oxa-5-hexenylphosphonate, (EtO)(2)P(O)(CF(2))(3)OCF=CF(2) (1), diethyl 1,1,2,2,4,5,5-heptafluoro-3-oxa-4-pentenylphosphonate, (EtO)(2)P(O)(CF(2))(2)OCF=CF(2) (2), and diethyl 1,1,2,2,4,5,5,7,8,8-decafluoro-4-trifluoromethyl-3,6-dioxa-7-octenylphosphonate, CF(2)=CFOCF(2)CF(CF(3))O(CF(2))(2)P(O)(OEt)(2) (3), have been synthesized. Perfluorovinyl ethers 1 and 2 were synthesized from methyl 4-trifluoroethenoxy-2,2,3,3,4,4-hexafluorobutanoate and methyl 3-trifluoroethenoxy-2,2,3,3-tetrafluoropropanoate, respectively, while perfluorovinyl ether 3 was synthesized either from 5-trifluoroethenoxy-4-trifluoromethyl-3-oxa-1,1,2,2,4,5,5-heptafluoropentylsulfonyl fluoride or methyl 6-trifluoroethenoxy-5-trifluoromethyl-4-oxa-2,2,3,3,5,6,6-heptafluorohexanoate. The carboxylate esters were converted to the corresponding fluoroalkyl iodides via a free-radical iododecarboxylation. The sulfonyl fluoride was converted to its corresponding fluoroalkyl iodide via iododesulfination. The intermediate iodides were found to be useful precursors for the incorporation of the phosphonic ester groups via a photoreaction with tetraethyl pyrophosphite to produce diethyl fluorophosphonites. The diethyl fluorophosphonites were oxidized to the desired phosphonates, 1, 2, and 3, utilizing hydrogen peroxide as the oxidant. Moderate to good overall yields of perfluorovinyl ethers 1-3 have been achieved.     

Addition of butanethiol to alkyl 3-furyl-3-(diethoxyphosphoryl)acrylates

By an example of butanethiol the addition of mercaptanes in the presence of bases to alkyl 3-furyl-3-(diethoxyphosphoryl)acrylic acids having methyl, methoxymethyl, or diethoxyphosphorylmethyl substituent in the furan ring was studied. It was shown that in the majority of cases alkyl 2-(butylthio)propionate was the main product, and 3-(butylthio)propionate was the minor one. Ethyl 3-(4-methylfur-3-yl)-3-(diethoxyphosphoryl) acrylate affords these two substances in equal quantities. In the case of ethyl 3-(4-methoxymethyl-5-methylfur-2-yl)-3-(diethoxyphosphoryl)acrylate only 3-(butylthio)propionate is formed.

(E)-1-Aryl-3-(5-phenyl-1H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)prop-2-en-1-ones reacted with hydrazine hydrate and phenylhydrazine to give 72–93% of 4-(3-aryl-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazol-5-yl)-5-phenyl-1H-1,2,3-triazoles which underwent dehydrogenation on heating in boiling acetic acid with formation of the corresponding pyrazole derivatives. The molecular structures of (E)-3-phenyl-1-(5-phenyl-1H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)prop-2-en-1-one and 4-[3-(4-methylphenyl)-1-phenyl-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazol-5-yl]-5-phenyl-1H-1,2,3-triazole were studied by X-ray analysis. 4-(3-Aryl-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazol-5-yl)-5-phenyl-1H-1,2,3-triazoles showed toxicity against Daphnia magna.

The oxidation of methyl (4-acetylphenyl)carbamate with selenium dioxide in dioxane–water (30: 1) gave methyl [4-(oxoacetyl)phenyl]carbamate whose condensation with ethyl acetoacetate or diethyl malonate and hydrazine hydrate afforded ethyl 3-methyl-6-[4-(methoxycarbonylamino)phenyl]pyridazine-4-carboxylate and methyl {4-[5-(hydrazinecarbonyl)-6-oxo-1,6-dihydropyridazin-3-yl]phenyl}carbamate, respectively. The reaction of methyl [4-(oxoacetyl)phenyl]carbamate with o-phenylenediamine in dimethylformamide–ethanol on heating led to the formation of methyl [4-(quinoxalin-2-yl)phenyl]carbamate. Methyl {4-(5,7-dioxo- 4,4a,5,6,7,8-hexahydropyrimido[4,5-c]pyridazin-3-yl)phenyl}carbamate and methyl {4-(5-oxo-7-sulfanylidene- 4,4a,5,6,7,8-hexahydropyrimido[4,5-c]pyridazin-3-yl)phenyl}carbamate were synthesized by reactions of methyl [4-(oxoacetyl)phenyl]carbamate with barbituric and thiobarbituric acids, respectively, and hydrazine hydrate in the presence of zirconyl chloride octahydrate at room temperature.
