Synthesis of 3,4-bis(2,5-dimethyl-3-thienyl)furan-2,5-dione from mucobromic acid

Palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling between 2,5-dimethyl-3-thienylboronic and mucobromic acids under phase transfer catalysis (PTC) conditions gave the expected 3,4-bis(2,5-dimethyl-3-thienyl)-5-hydroxyfuran-2-one in 32% yield. The by-product was 2,2’,5,5’-tetramethyl-3,3’-bithiophene. The oxidation of the obtained hemiacylal with potassium permanganate under PTC conditions afforded 3,4-bis(2,5-dimethyl-3-thienyl)furan-2,5-dione in high yield.__________Published in Russian in Izvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Synthesis and electrophilic substitution reactions of 2-aryl-3,4-bis(carbomethoxy)furans

The thermal decomposition of the products of hydrogenation of the adducts obtained from arylfurans and dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate leads to the formation of 2-aryl-3,4-bis(carbomethoxy)furans. The bromination of these compounds takes place in the 5 position of the furan ring; depending on the concentration of the nitric acid used, nitration leads to the formation of products of nitration in both the furan and the benzene rings.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 4, pp. 453–456, April, 1982.     

Polyhydrazides based on 2,5-bis(4-carboxymethylene phenyl)-3,4-diphenyl thiophene

A series of polyhydrazides was synthesized from a novel dicarboxylic acid, 2,5-bis(4-carboxymethylene phenyl)-3,4-diphenyl thiophene (V) and or terephthalic acid and isophthaloyl or terephthaloyl dihydrazide by Yamazaki’s phosphorylation method using triphenyl phosphite as condensing agent. Polyhydrazides were characterized by IR spectroscopy solubility, viscosity, thermogravimetric analysis and X-ray diffraction studies.The polymers were obtained in quantitative yields. Polyhydrazides had viscosities in the range of 0.25-0.70 dL/g. The polymers derived from novel diacid (V) showed enhanced solubility than the polymers derived from terephthalic acid, which may be attributed to the presence to bulky pendant phenyl group and methylene spacer group in the polymer backbone. Polymers were soluble in most of the common aprotic polar solvents. Polyhydrazides showed considerable weight loss in the temperature range of 300-400 °C which is due to the cyclodehydration, leading to the formation of corresponding polyoxadiazoles. They showed T_max in between 500 and 600 °C which is essentially the decomposition of the polyoxadiazoles. X-ray diffraction studies showed that polyhydrazides were amorphous in nature.     

The reactions of dimethyl 2,5-bis(diazo)-3,4-dikentoadipate with aromatic and heteroaromatic compounds

Heating the title compound with benzene provides a mixture of dimethyl 1,3-dihydroxynaphthalene-2,4-dicarboxylate and 3-carbomethoxy-4-hydroxy-5-phenylpyrone which rearranges on melting to the aforementioned naphthalene derivative. The initial substitution reaction appears to proceed through an intermediary pyronyl cation. The scope of this potential ring annelation reaction has been investigated for a range of aromatic and heteroaromatic compounds. Heating with basic substrates converts the bisdazo compound into dimethyl 4-hydroxypyrazole-3,5-dicarboxylate, while heating with isopropanol yields dimethyl 4,5-dihydroxypyridazine-3,6-dicarboxylate.     

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of 2,5—Bis（morpholino）—3,4—bis（p—chlorophenyl）thiophene

Structures of substituted di-aryl-1,3,4-oxadiazole derivatives: 2,5-bis(pyridyl)- and 2,5-bis(aminophenyl)-substitution

Crystal structures of four different di-aryl-1,3,4-oxadiazole compounds (aryl = 2-pyridyl-, 3-pyridyl-, 2-aminophenyl-, 3-aminophenyl-) are determined. Crystallization of di(2-pyridyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazole yielded monoclinic and triclinic polymorphs. The structures are characterized by the occurrence of π–π interactions. Additionally, in case of the aminophenyl compounds intra- as well as intermolecular hydrogen bonds are found that influence the packing motif as well. Since these molecules are often used as ligands in metal–organic complexes similarities and differences of the molecular conformation between the molecules in the pure crystals and that of the ligands in the complexes are discussed.
