Alkylation of 3-methyl-1<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>-acenaphtho[5,6-<Emphasis Type="Italic">de</Emphasis>]pyridazine

Alkylation of 3-methyl-1Н-acenaphtho[5,6]pyridazine with methyl and propyl iodides as well as with benzyl chloride in alkaline medium leads to the formation of the corresponding both N- and С-substituted pyridazine derivatives and also to the dimerization product of the initial compound. The ratio of obtained compounds depends on the used hydride, reaction temperature, and solvent.

Manufacturing synthesis of 5-hydroxy-2-methyl-1<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>-indole

The manufacturing synthesis of 5-hydroxy-2-methyl-1H-indole is described and two synthetic methods were used and the results discussed. Two small and three large runs with Nenitzescu’s method were analyzed and results reported with different reaction conditions. Manufacturing issues encountered were discussed.

Synthesis of 4<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>-imidazole-5-carbaldoxime 3-oxides and 4<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>-imidazole-5-carbonitrile 3-oxides

The condensation of 3-hydroxyamino-3-methylbutan-2-one or 3-ethyl-3-hydroxyamino-pentan-2-one with aldehydes and ammonia afforded a series of new 1-hydroxy-4-methyl-2,5-dihydroimidazoles, whose oxidation gave rise to the corresponding 5-methyl-4H-imidazole 3-oxides. The latter, like 1-hydroxy-4-methyl-2,5-dihydroimidazoles, react with PrⁱONO in the presence of bases to form 4H-imidazole-5-carbaldoxime 3-oxides, which are transformed into 4H-imidazole-5-carbonitrile 3-oxides in the reaction with TsCl in the presence of Et₃N. The by-products produced in different steps of the synthesis were isolated and characterized. Published in Russian in Izvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Compounds capable of tautomerism: sulfanyl-1,2,4-triazole, its C-phenyl derivative, and the crystal hydrate of the latter, were studied by single crystal X-ray diffraction. In the crystals they exist in the form of 3-R-1(H),4(H)-4,5-dihydro-1,2,4-triazole-5-thione with a considerable contribution of the bipolar structure.

N-Allyl-5-amino-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxamides in reactions with polyphosphoric acid, with N-halosuccinimides in chloroform, and with (chlorosulfanyl)benzenes in nitromethane in the presence of lithium perchlorate underwent cyclization involving the N-allylamide fragment to give 4-[5-methyl(halomethyl)-4,5-dihydrooxazol-2-yl]-1H-pyrazol-5-amines and 2-(5-amino-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)-5-[(arylsulfanyl)methyl]-4,5-dihydro-1,3-oxazolium perchlorates, respectively. Analogous reactions of N-propargyl-5-amino-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxamides with polyphosphoric acid afforded 4-(5-methyloxazol-2-yl)-1H-pyrazol-5-amines, and with (chlorosulfanyl) benzenes, 2-(5-amino-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)-5-[(arylsulfanyl)methylidene]-4,5-dihydro-1,3-oxazolium perchlorates.

Regioselectivity in the reactions of <Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-(polychloroethylidene)-sulfonamides with 1<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>-pyrrole and 1-methyl-1<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>-pyrrole

N-(2,2,2-Trichloroethylidene)arenesulfonamides react with 1H-pyrrole and 1-methyl-1H-pyrrole to give the corresponding N-[2,2,2-trichloro-1-(1H-pyrrol-2-yl)ethyl]arenesulfonamides. The reaction of N-(2,2,2-trichloroethylidene)trifluoromethanesulfonamide with pyrrole leads to a mixture of 2-mono-and 2,5-disubstituted pyrroles, whereas in the reaction with 1-methyl-1H-pyrrole only the 2-substituted compound is formed. N-(2,2-Dichloro-2-phenylethylidene)-4-methylbenzenesulfonamide reacts with 1H-pyrrole to form N-[2,2-dichloro-2-phenyl-1-(1H-pyrrol-2-yl)ethyl]-4-methylbenzenesulfonamide, and its reaction with 1-methyl-1H-pyrrole gives a mixture of 2-and 3-monosubstituted derivatives. The results of quantum-chemical calculations of the initial reactants and products indicate that the process is orbital-controlled. A good agreement is observed between the experimental data and theoretical conclusions concerning the dependence of the reaction regioselectivity on the nature of substituents in the electrophile molecule.
