Synthesis of 2-(3,3-Dicyano-2-propenylidene)-4,4,5,5-tetramethyldioxolane and Its Reactions with Hydrazine and Primary Amines

Reactions of 2-(-ethoxyvinyl)-4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-4,5-dihydro-1,3-dioxol-1-ium salts with cyanomethylene compounds gave the corresponding 2-(2-propenylidene)-1,3-dioxolane derivatives which reacted with hydrazine and primary amines to afford, respectively, 3-(2-hydroxy-1,1,2-trimethylpropoxy)pyrazole and 1-substituted 6-amino-5-cyanopyridin-2(1H)-ones.     

4-Substituted-3,4-dihydro-3-methyl-2H-1,3-benzoxazin-2-ones. III (2,3). Solvolytic-reductive transformation of 4-(2-keto)-benzoxazin-2-ones into oxazin-2-ones

A series of 4-(2-keto-substituted)-3,4-dihydro-3-methyl-2H-1,3-benzoxazin-2-ones 1 (Table I) was synthesized by condensation of 3-alkyl-3,4-dihydro-4-hydroxy-2H-1,3-benzoxazin-2-ones 4 with ketones 5 having active alpha hydrogens. In the presence of alcoholic potassium borohydride, compounds 1 underwent reductive transacylation to give 1,3-oxazin-2-one derivatives 3 (Table III, a,b,c). When the other side of the ketone possessed substituents other than hydrogen, there were always also normal reduction products, i.e., secondary alcohols 2 (Table II) in addition to 3.     

Synthesis of new 2-(alkenylsulfanyl)pyrimidine derivatives

Isothiuronium salts prepared by treatment of allyl bromide, 2,3- and 1,3-dichloropropenes, and 1,3-dichlorobut-2-ene with thiourea reacted with pentane-2,4-dione and 4,4,4-trifluoro-1-(thiophen-2-yl)-butane-1,3-dione to afford new pyrimidine derivatives, 2-(alkenylsulfanyl)-4,6-dimethyl- and 2-(alkenylsulfanyl)-4-(thiophen-2-yl)-6-(trifluoromethyl)pyrimidines.     

Synthese von 4-Benzylthio- und 4-(Arylthio)-1,3-oxazol-5(2H)-onen

Synthesis of 4-(Benzylthio)-and 4-(Arylthio)-1,3-oxazole-5(2H)-ones Following a known procedure, 4-(benzylthio)-1,3-oxazol-5(2H)-one ( 4a ) was synthesized starting from sodium cyanodithioformate ( 1 ) and cyclohexanone (Scheme 1). The structure of the intermediate 4-(benzylthio)-1,3-thiazol-5(2H)-one ( 3a ) was established by X-ray crystallography. An alternative route was developed for the synthesis of 4-(arylthio)-1,3-oxazol-5(2H)-ones which are not accessible by the former reaction. Treatment of ethyl cyanoformate ( 5 ) with a thiophenol in the presence of catalytic amounts of Et₂NH and TiCl₄, followed by addition of a ketone and BF₃.Et₂O in a one-pot-reaction, gave 4f–i in low-to-fair yields (Scheme 3). Both synthetic pathways-complementary as for benzyl–S and aryl-S derivatives–seem to be limited with respect to variation of substituents of the ketone.     

Efficient synthesis of (S)-4-phthalimido-1,3,4,5-tetrahydro-8-(2,6-dichlorobenzyloxy)- 3-oxo-2H-2-benzazepin-2-acetic acid (PHt-Hba(2,6-Cl2-Bn)-Gly-OH)

4-Amino-2-benzazepin-3-ones have proven very useful for studying the biologically active conformations of peptides. The synthesis of Pht-Aba-Xaa-OH by reaction of the corresponding 1,3-oxazolidin-5-one with trifluoromethanesulfonic acid (TFMSA) has been reported in the literature. However, when this procedure was applied to the preparation of Pht-Hba(Bn)-Gly-OH 8, many byproducts were formed and the yield of the desired aminobenzazepinones 7 and 8 was very low. We report in this paper an efficient methodology for the synthesis of Pht-Hba(2,6-Cl2-Bn)-Gly-OH 17 starting from the commercially available tyrosine. In our procedure, the dipeptide Pht-Tyr(2,6-Cl2-Bn)-Gly-OH 15 is converted to the 1,3-oxazolidin-5-one 16 which then undergoes Friedel-Crafts cyclization in the presence of tin tetrachloride to afford the desired 4-phthalimido-1,3,4,5-tetrahydro-8-(2,6-dichlorobenzyloxy)-2-be nzazepin-3-one 17 in excellent yield.     

Synthesis and photochromism of a series of new 2-unsubstituted 3-(2-benzylbenzoyl)quinolin-4(1H)-ones

Synthesis and characterization of a series of new 2-unsubstituted 3-(2-benzylbenzoyl)quinolin-4(1H)-ones is described. In addition to their potential biological activity, these compounds exhibit photoreversible photochromic properties in anaerobic conditions. Using the 1 and 2D NMR techniques we demonstrated that the coloration occurred owing to the formation of fluorescent 5a,6-dihydrobenzo[b]acridin-(5H)-ones. The photoreaction is stereoselective and the S,R-isomers are the major products (83%) whereas the S,S-isomers are the minor (6%). In addition, the irreversible formation of two oxidation products, 3-(2-benzoylbenzoyl)quinolin-4(1H)-ones, and acridin-12(5H)-one derivatives was observed in the presence of air.     

The Difference in the Behaviour of Hydrazine and p-Substituted Phenylhydrazines on Various 4-(3-Aryl-3-Oxopropenyl) Antipyrines

A series of novel 4-(3-aryl-4,5-dihydro-lH-pyrazol-5-yl)-l, 5-dimethyl-2-phenyl-lH-pyrazol-3(2H)-oncs (III) were synthesized. Thus, the key intermediates, 4-(3-aryl-3-oxopropenyl-1,5- dimethyl-2-phenyl-1H-pyrazol-3(2H)-ones (II) were cyclized with hydrazine hydrate containing a few drops of ethanol gave the desired pyrazoline derivatives (III), which can be acetylated to afford the target N-acetyl derivatives (IV). On the other hand, the same reaction condition using p-substituted phenylhydrazines, the starting key intermediates (II) were recovered unchanged. The use of glacial acetic acid instead of ethanol, lead to a new series of 1,3-diarylpyrazoles (VI) by a different pathway. The structure of the newly synthesized compounds was elucidated by elemental analyses, IR, ¹H-NMR and mass spectra.     

Synthesis of 1,3-dialkyl-5-(hetaryl-1-yl)-1,3-dihydrobenzimidazol-2-ones

Reactions of 5-amino-1,3-dialkyl-1,3-dihydrobenzimidazol-2-ones with 2,5-dimethoxytetrahydrofuran and 2,6-dimethyl-γ-pyranone led to the formation of 1,3-dialkyl-1,3-dihydro-5-(pyrrol-1-andл)benzimidazol-2-ones and 1-(1,3-dialkyl-2-oxo-1,3-dihydrobenzimidazol-5-yl)-2,6-dimethylpyridin-4-ones.     

Regioselective synthesis of 4-alkyl- and 4-aryl-6-(perfluoroalkyl)salicylic acid derivatives by formal [3+3] cyclocondensation of 1,3-bis(silyloxy)-1,3-butadienes with 3-silyloxy-1-(perfluoroalkyl)prop-2-en-1-ones

4-Alkyl- and 4-aryl-6-(perfluoroalkyl)salicylic acid derivatives were regioselectively prepared by [3+3] cyclization of 1,3-bis(silyl enol ethers) with 3-silyloxy-1-(perfluoroalkyl)prop-2-en-1-ones.     

Synthesis of exo- and endocyclic enamino derivatives of 2-(3-arylprop-2-enoyl)cyclohexane-1,3-diones

Condensation of 2-acetylcyclohexane-1,3-diones with aromatic aldehydes in the presence of piperidine, pyrrolidine, hexamethyleneimine, or morpholine gave the corresponding 2-(3-arylprop-2-enoyl)cyclohexane-1,3-diones as the major products and 2-[3-aryl-1-cycloalkylaminoprop-2-en-1-ylidene]cyclohexane-1,3-diones as minor ones. Endocyclic enamino derivatives were synthesized in two steps through enol methyl ethers which reacted with amines. Endocyclic enamino derivatives of 2-(3-arylprop-2-enoyl)cyclohexane-1,3-diones containing an aryl group on the nitrogen atom readily underwent cyclization to 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8-octahydroquinoline-4,5-dione derivatives.     

New transformations of 3-acetyl-5-(alkoxymethyl)tetrahydrofuran-2-ones

Alkylation of 3-acetyl-5-(alkoxymethyl)tetrahydrofuran-2-ones gave 3-acetyl-5-(alkoxymethyl)-tetrahydrofuran-2-ones containing various substituents in position 3 of the heterocycle. Bromination of the latter afforded 3-(bromoacetyl) derivatives which reacted with various nucleophiles to produce derivatives containing benzimidazole, 2-amino-1,3-thiazole, 3-chloropyridine, and 3,5-dibromopyridine fragments together with the butanolide ring.     

Synthesis and microbial screening of 8-(benzyloxy)-5-(2-[1,3-diphenyl-1H-pyrazol-4-yl]thiazol-4-yl)quinolin-2(1H)-one derivatives

The present investigation describe the synthesis of 8-(benzyloxy)-5-(2-[1,3-diphenyl-1H-pyrazol-4-yl]thiazol-4-yl)quinolin-2(1H)-one derivatives. Quinolin-8-ol was transformed by five step synthetic procedures into 8-Benzyloxy-5-(2-bromo-acetyl)-1H-quinolin-2-one. Subsequently, 8-Benzyloxy-5-(2-bromo-acetyl)-1H-quinolin-2-one condensed with 1,3-Diphenyl-1H-pyrazole-4-carbothioic acid amide in the presence of acetonitrile to afford 8-(benzyloxy)-5-(2-[1,3-diphenyl-1H-pyrazol-4-yl]thiazol-4-yl)quinolin-2(1H)-one derivatives. Synthesized compounds were screened for their antimicrobial activity against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. Most of the synthesized compounds are found to be active against tested bacterial strains and fungal strain.     

The synthesis of methyl 2-(benzyloxycarbonyl)amino-3-dimethylaminopropenoate. The synthesis of trisubstituted pyrroles, 3-amino-2H-pyran-2-ones,fused 2H-pyran-2-ones and 4H-pyridin-4-ones

Methyl 2-(benzyloxycarbonyl)aimno-3-dimemylaminopropenoate ( 2 ) was prepared from methyl N-(benzyloxycarbonyl)glycinate ( 1 ) and t-butoxybis(dimethylamino)methane, and used as a reagent for preparation of substituted 3-(benzyloxycarbonyl)amino-4H-quinolizin-4-ones 5 and 6 , ?2H-pyran-2-ones 17–19 , ?2H-1-benzopyran-2-ones 28–31 , and -naphthopyrans 32–35 , ?2H-pyrano[3,2-c]pyridine-2,5-dione 46 , -pyrano-[4,3-b]pyran-2,5-dione 47 , -pyrano[3,2-c]benzopyran-2,5-dione 48 , -pyrano[2,3-c]pyrazol-6-ones 49 and 50 , -pyrano[2,3-d]pyrirnidin-7-ones 51 and 52 derivatives. In the reaction of 2 with 1,3-diketones trisubsti tuted pyrroles 14–16 were formed. Selective removal of benzyloxycarbonyl group was achieved by cat alytic transfer hydrogenation with Pd/C in the presence of cyclohexene to afford free 3-amino compounds 7 , 8 , 20 , 36–38 and 53–57 in yields better than 80%.     

3-(Hetarylamino)- and 3-[(hetarylmethyl)amino]-isoquinolin-1(2H)-ones

The reaction of 2-(cyanomethyl)benzoic acid with amines RNH₂ (R = Ar, Het, CH₂Ar, CH₂Het) leads to the formation of the corresponding 3-NHR-isoquinolin-1(2H)-ones. When R = CH₂Ar and CH₂Het, there is a side reaction involving hydrolysis of the hydrolytically-unstable intermediates, derivatives of 2-(2-amino-2-iminoethyl)benzoic acid, leading to 2-R-isoquinoline-1,3(2H,4H)-diones.     

Five-Membered 2,3-Dioxo Heterocycles: XLVI. Reaction of 5-Aryl-4-quinoxalinyl-2,3-dihydrofuran-2,3-diones with Aldehydes and Ketones. Molecular and Crystalline Structure of 5-(3-p-Tolylquinoxalin-2-yl)-4H-1,3-dioxine- 2-spiro-2'-adamantan-4-one

Aroyl(quinoxalinyl)ketenes generated by thermolysis of 5-aryl-4-(3-arylquinoxalin-2-yl)-2,3-di-hydrofuran-2,3-diones act as dienes in [4 + 2]-cycloaddition at the carbonyl group of aldehydes and ketones to afford 2-substituted 6-aryl-5-(3-arylquinoxalin-2-yl)-4H-1,3-dioxin-4-ones. The structure of 5-(3-p-tolylquino-xalin-2-yl)-4H-1,3-dioxine-2-spiro-2'-adamantan-4-one was proved by X-ray analysis.     

Eine überraschende Ringerweiterung von 3-(Dimethylamino)-2,2-dimethyl-2H-azirin zu 4,5-Dihydropyridin-2(3H)-on-Derivaten

An Unexpected Ring Enlargement of 3-(Dimethylamino)-2,2-dimethyl-2H-azirine to 4,5-Dihydropyridin-2(3H)-one Derivatives The reaction of 3-(dimethylamino)-2,2-dimethyl-2H-azirine ( 1a ) and 4,4-disubstituted 2-(trifluoromethyl)-1,3-oxazol-5(4H)-ones 7 in MeCN at 70° afforded 5-(dimethylamino)-3,6-dihydropyrazin-2(1H)-ones 10 (Scheme 4), whereas no reaction could be observed between 1a and 2-allyl-4-phenyl-2-(trifluoromethyl)-1,3-oxazol-5(2H)-one ( 8a ) or 4,4-dibenzyl-2-phenyl-1,3-oxazol-5(4H)-one ( 9 ). The formation of 10 is rationalized by a mechanism via nucleophilic attack of 1a onto 7 . The failure of a reaction with 9 shows that only activated 1,3-oxazol-5(4H)-ones bearing electron-withdrawing substituents do react as electrophiles with 1a . The amino-azirine 1a and 2,4-disubstituted 1,3-oxazol-5(4H)-ones 2b – e in refluxing MeCN undergo a novel ring enlargement to 4,5-dihydropyridin-2(3H)-ones 11 (Scheme 5). Several side products were observed in these reactions. Two different reaction mechanisms for the formation of 11 are proposed: either 1a undergoes a nucleophilic addition onto the open-chain ketene tautomer of 2 (Scheme 6), or 2 reacts as CH-acidic compound (Scheme 7).     

Reactions of methyl 3,3,3-trifluoro-2-(pyridin-2-ylimino)-propanoates with mono- and difunctional nucleophiles

Reactions of methyl 3,3,3-trifluoro-2-(pyridin-2-ylimino)propanoates with such nucleophiles and 1,3-binucleophiles as methanol, p-toluidine, phenylhydrazine, diethyl phosphonate, 2-aminobut-2-enenitrile, benzamidine, and 4,5-dihydro-1,3-thiazol-2-amine led to the formation of various acyclic 2-substituted methyl 3,3,3-trifluoro-2-(pyridin-2-ylamino)propanoates and trifluoromethyl-containing heterocyclic N-substituted 2-aminopyridine derivatives: 4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrroles, 4,5-dihydro-1H-imidazol-5-ones, and 2,3-dihydro-6Himidazo[2,1-b][1,3]thiazol-5-ones.     

Synthesis and structure of 3-arylamino-2-(quinolin-2-yl)tropones

A reaction of substituted 2-(quinolin-2-yl)-1,3-tropolones with POCl₃ leads to the new3-chloro-2-(quinolin-2-yl)tropone derivatives. New 2-(4-arylaminoquinolin-2-yl)-3-aryl-aminocyclohepta-2,4,6-trien-1-ones and 2-[4-morpholino(piperidino)quinolin-2-yl]-3-aryl-aminocyclohepta-2,4,6-trien-1-ones were obtained by nucleophilic substitution reaction of the halogen atom in 2-(4-chloroquinolin-2-yl)-3-chlorotropones and 3-chloro-2-[4-morpholino-(piperidino)quinolin-2-yl]tropones. Molecular structures of 3-chloro-2-(quinolin-2-yl)tropone and 3-arylamino-2-(quinolin-2-yl)tropone were established by X-ray diffraction analysis. Energy and structural characteristics of isomers of 3-arylamino-2-(quinolin-2-yl)tropones in the gas phase and in solution were calculated by the density functional theory method (PBE0/6-31G**).     

Synthesis and structure of 1,3-dialkyl-4-(sulfonylimino)imidazolidin-2-ones

The reactions of 1,3-dialkyl-4,5-dihydroxyimidazolidin-2-ones with alkyl sulfamides have been studied and previously undescribed 1,3-dialkyl-4-(alkylaminosulfonylimino)imidazolidin-2-ones have been obtained.

New cycloaddition reaction between 4-arylidene-2-phenyl-5(4H)-1,3-oxazolones and benzyne; facile synthesis of 1,4(H)-benzoxazepine-2-ones and their N-phenyl derivatives

Reaction of 4-arylidene-2-phenyl-5(4H)-1,3-oxazolones with benzyne afforded predominantly, 3-arylidene-7-hydroxy-7-phenyl-1,4(H)-benzoxazepine-2-ones in addition to their N-phenyl derivatives. However, the reaction of the target oxazolones with an excess of benzyne gave only the N-phenyl derivatives of 1,4(H)-benzoxazepine-2-ones in good yields. The reaction mechanism describing product formation is also explained. Arylation of 1,4(H)-benzoxazepine-2-ones with benzyne proceeded successfully to give the N-phenyl products.
