Studies on phenothiazines. Part 7. Synthesis of 3-substituted 2-aminobenzenethiols and their conversion into phenothiazines

Synthesis of substituted 1-nitrophenothiazines is reported by the Smiles rearrangement in situ, which involves condensation of 3-chloro or methyl-2-aminobenzenethiol with o-halonitrobenzenes (2,4,6-trinitochloro-benzene, 1,4-dichloro-2,6-dinitrobenzene, 2,4,6-tribromo-1,3-dinitrobenzene) in the presence of ethanolic sodium hydroxide. Ir and mass spectral studies are included.     

Nucleoside analogs. I. A synthesis of 1,3-dihydroxy-2-(6-substituted-9-purinyl)cyclohexane

Biologically active 1,3-dihydroxy-2-(6-substituted-9-purinyl)cyclohexanes (VI-X) were prepared by a reaction between trans-2-amino-1,3-cyclohexanediol (I) and 4,6-dichloro-5-amino-pyrimidine (II), followed by cyclization and nucleophilic substitution. Compounds VI and VII showed a weak inhibitory effect against Xanthomonas oryzae, a pathogenic bacteria of leaf blight of rice plant.     

Benzodifurans. I. The synthesis of benzo[1,2-b:5,4-b]difuran and some methyl analogs

The first parent benzodifuran (XVI) and three di- and trimethylated derivatives have been synthesized and screened for erythemal activity (negative response). Two benzodifurans were prepared from resorcinol and 2-methylresorcinol by acetylation, Fries rearrangement, alkylation of the resulting 4,6-diacetylresorcinols with ethyl bromoacetate, saponification, and then cyclization of the (4,6-diacetyl-1,3-phenylenedioxy)diacetic acids. Another was prepared from the Claisen rearrangement product of 1,3-bis(allyloxy)-2-methylbenzene by acetylation, bromina-tion, and cyclization. Ozonolysis of the Claisen rearrangement product gave additional support to the formulation of o-hydroxyphenylaeetaldehydes as cyclic hemiacetals. The parent benzodifuran was synthesized from 5-formyI-6-hydroxybenzofuran, which was prepared in two steps from 5-bromo-6-methoxybenzofuran. Alkylation of the former with ethyl bromoacetate, saponification, and cyclization furnished benzo[1,2-b.5,4-b ]difuran. The ultraviolet and nuclear magnetic resonance spectra of the four benzodifurans are compared.     

Derivatives Of ditraizinylamine and tritriazinylamine

2-Arylamino-4,6-dichloro-s-triazine reacts with cyanuric chloride in the presence of alkali to yield N,N-bis(4,6-dichloro-s-triazin-2-yl)-arylamine. In like manner, 2-substituted o-chloro-, p-chloro-, o-nitro- and p-carbomethoxyphenylamino-4,6-dimethoxy-s-triazines react with cyanuric chloride to yield the corresponding 4,6-dichloro-s-triazin-2-yl-4′,6′-dimethoxy-s-triazin-2′-ylaryl-amine, while anilino-, p-toluidino, o- and p-methoxyphenylamino and o-carbomethoxyphenylamino derivatives did not. The reaction of cyanuric chloride with 2,4-dichloro-6-ethylamino-s-triazine in the presence of alkali yields the condensation product of the ditriazinylamine type and the reaction of cyanuric chloride with ammonia yields N,N-bis(4,6-dichloro-s-triazin-2-yl)- or tris(4,6-dichloro-s-triazin-2-yl)amine.     

The Structure of New Host Molecules that form Channel Inclusion Compounds

1,3-Benzenediamine,N,N′-bis(4,6-dichloro-1,3,5-triazine-2-yl) and 1,3,5-Triazine,2,2′-[2-methyl-1,3-phenylenebis(oxy)] bis(4,6-dichloro) were synthesized as host molecules. The inclusion compound of 1,3-Benzenediamine,N,N′-bis(4,6-dichloro-1,3,5-triazine-2-yl) crystallizes in the monoclinic crystal system in space group C2/c. The host molecule occupies the space group 2-fold special position and packed in the crystal lattice in such a manner as to leave channels running along the c axis of a rectangular cross-section. It crystallizes with two molecules of acetone that are hydrogen bonded to the amino nitrogen atoms. Molecules of 1,3,5-Triazine,2,2′-[2-methyl-1,3-phenylene bis(oxy)]bis(4,6-dichloro) are packed in the crystal in such a manner as to leave channels of a trapezoid cross-section that are running along the a axis. Guest molecules such as metanol, ethanol, and ethyl acetate can be used to fill the channels. The crystal structures of two inclusion compounds are described.

2,3-Bis(5-tert-butyl-2-methoxyphenyl)buta-1,3-diene was prepared by bromination of (Z)- and (E)-2,3-bis(5-tert-butyl-2-methoxyphenyl)-2-butene followed by treatment with zinc powder in a mixture of CH₂Cl₂ and acetic acid, which was converted to the corresponding o-terphenyl skeleton by the condensation with dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate followed by oxidation with 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyanobenzoquinone.     

Syntheis of amino-substituted 1,3-bis(tert-butyl-NNO-azoxy)benzenes

Oxidation of 4,6-dichloro-1,3-phenylenediamine with Caro's acid yields the corresponding dinitrosobenzene, which reacts withN,N-dibromo-tert-butylamine to give 1,5-bis(tert-butyl-NNO-azoxy)-2,4-dichlorobenzene. Treatment of the latter with ammonia yields 4-amino-and 4,6-diamino-1,3-bis(tert-butyl-NNO-azoxy)benzenes. Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk. Seriya Khimicheskaya.

SOME CHLOROHYDROXYBENZENESULFONYL DERIVATIVES

Abstract

2,4-; 2,6-; 2,3-; 3,4-; 2,5-; and 3,5-dichlorophenols by reaction with chlorosulfonic acid were converted to the following substituted benzenesulfonyl chlorides: 3,5-dichloro-2-hydroxy-; 3,5-dichloro-4-hydroxy-; 2,3-dichloro-4-hydroxy-; 4,5-dichloro-2-hydroxy-; 2,5-dichloro-4-hydroxy-; and 2,6-dichloro-4-hydroxy-respectively. In addition o-chlorophenol gave 5-chloro-4-hydroxybenzene-1,3-bis-sulfonyl chloride. The various sulfonyl chlorides have been condensed with nucleophilic reagents, e.g. ammonia, amines, hydrazine, phenylhydrazine, N, N-dimethylhydrazine, and sodium azide. 3,5-Dichloro-2-hydroxybenzenesulfonyl azide has been reacted with norbornene, triphenylphosphine, dimethylsulfoxide, and cyclohexene. 3,5-Dichloro-2-hydroxybenzenesulfonyl chloride with phenylisocyanate gave the 2-(N-phenyl-carbamoyloxy) derivative which on heating gave a heterocyclic compound. The chlorohydroxybenzenesulfonyl derivatives are of interest as potential herbicides and their ir and nmr spectral characteristics are briefly discussed.     

Synthesis of Aromatic Polythioethers Containing 1,3,5-Triazine Ring by Aromatic Nucleophilic Substitution Polymerization

Abstract

Reaction of 2,4-dichloro-6-phenyl-1,3,5-triazines with bis(4-mercaptophenyl) sulfide in the presence of a base in THF afforded the corresponding condensation polymer as a whole aromatic polythioether in moderate yield. The polymerization of several 2,4-dichloro-1,3,5-triazine derivatives with this dithiols also proceeded in the o-dichlorobenzene-water two-phase system by using phase transfer catalysts. The resulting polymers consisted of THF-soluble and -insoluble fractions. The x-ray diffraction pattern indicated that these THF-insoluble polymers have a highly crystalline nature. Further, the polymers obtained here showed high thermal stability.     

Short and straightforward total synthesis of Ammosamide B

A simple and five steps total synthesis of Ammosamide B has been developed. The tricyclic pyrroloquinoline in Ammosamides was constructed in one step based on Doebner-Miller reaction between 1,3-diamine-4,6-dinitrobenzene 8 and dimethyl-2-oxo glutaconate 9.     

Studies on phenothiazines. Part 16 . Synthesis and spectral studies of substituted 1,2-dichlorophenothiazines

Synthesis of the title compounds by the Smiles rearrangement has been reported. 1,2-Dichloro-7-substituted phenothiazines have been prepared by the Smiles rearrangement of 3,4-dichloro-2-formamido-2′-nitro-4′-substituted-diphenyl sulphides. The latter were obtained by the formylation of the diphenyl sulphides obtained by the condensation of 2-amino-3,4-dichlorobenzenethiol with o-halogenonitrobenzenes. 9-Nitrophenothiazines have been prepared by the reaction of 2-amino-3,4-dichlorobenzenethiol with substituted o-halonitrobenzenes containing a nitro group at both ortho positions to the halo atom in which Smiles rearrangement occurs in situ. The ir, nmr and mass spectral studies are also included.     

Synthesis of novel photodegradable poly(o-nitrobenzaldehyde acetal) polymers

The synthesis of novel photodegradable poly(o-nitrobenzaldehyde acetals) is described. The polymers were prepared by condensing o-nitrobenzaldehyde with a series of glycols. Polyesteracetals can also be prepared by first preparing the o-nitrobenzaldehyde glycol acetal or polyacetal prepolymer and subsequent reaction with a diacid chloride. These polymers, although light sensitive, appear to be thermally stable since they were prepared in part by melt condensation techniques. The polymers are useful as positive working photodegradable polymers.     

Synthesis and biological activity of new hybrids compounds derived from benzofuroxanes and polyene antibiotics

Hybrid compounds based on 4,6-dichloro-5-nitrobenzofuroxan, 7-chloro-4,6-dinitrobenzofuroxan, 5,7-dichloro-4,6-dinitrobenzofuroxan, and polyene antibiotics (amphotericin B and nystatin) have been prepared for the first time. They have exhibited biological activity comparable to that of starting antibiotics. Activity of the compound derived from 5,7-dichloro-4,6-dinitrobenzofuroxan and nystatin towards Trichophyton mentagrophytes is 4 times higher than that of nystatin.

Several 4,6-disubstituted 1-p-chlorophenylpyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidines were prepared from 4,6-dichloro-1-p-chlorophenylpyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine and their xanthine oxidase inhibitory activity were tested in vitro.     

Synthesis of regiocontrolled poly(4,6-di-n-butoxy-1,3-phenylene) by oxidative coupling polymerization

Poly(4,6-di-n-butoxy-1,3-phenylene) ( 6 ) was prepared by oxidative coupling polymerization of 1,3-di-n-butoxybenzene ( 1 ) or 2,2′,4,4′-tetra-n-butoxy biphenyl (3). Polymerizations were conducted in nitrobenzene in the presence of FeCl₃ at room temperature and produced polymers with number-average molecular weights up to 42,000. The effects of various factors, such as amount of FeCl₃ and reaction temperature and time were studied. The structure of polymer 6 was characterized by 270 MHz ¹H- and 68.5 MHz ¹³C-NMR spectroscopies and was estimated to consist of almost completely 1,3-linkage. The regiocontrolled polymer was readily soluble in common organic solvents. Thermogravimetric analysis of polymer 6 showed 10% weight loss at 390°C in nitrogen. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Synthesis and Characterization of Some Ruthenium Mixed-Ligand Complexes

The complexation reaction of trans-[RuCl₂(Dpte)₂] (Dpte – (diphenylthio)ethane) with mixed diimine ligands 2,2"-bipyridine, pyridylquinoline, 4,6-dichloro-2-(2-pyridyl)pyrimidine, 4,6-dichloro-5-methyl-2-(2-pyridyl)pyrimidine, and 4,6-dichloro-5-phenyl-2-(2-pyridyl)pyrimidine produces new Ru(II) mixed-ligand complexes. These complexes exhibit maximum photo- and chemical stability and high absorptivity. The above complexes have been characterized using IR, ¹H and ¹³C NMR, electronic absorption spectroscopy, and elemental analysis.     

Poly(terephthalic acid anhydride) as a latent monomer in polybenzoxazole synthesis

High molecular weight poly(p-phenylenebenzobisoxazole) (PBO) was prepared from poly(terephthalic acid anhydride) (PTAA) and 1,3-diamino-4,6-dihydroxybenzene dihydrogenchloride in polyphosphoric acid (PPA). PTAA may react directly with the o-aminophenol groups to form benzoxazoles or react with PPA to generate terephthalic acid (TA) of very small particle size, which dissolves readily in PPA. PTAA provides the advantages of bypassing the requirement of small particle size TA, reducing the amount of water liberated by half, and possibly providing faster kinetics in PBO synthesis. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

Reactions of Bisazomethines of the Naphtalene Series with 1,3-Diketones

Bisazomethines prepared from aromatic dialdehydes and 2-naphthylamine were for the first time reacted with the following diketones: 1,3-cyclohexanedione, 5,5-dimethyl-1,3-cyclohexanedione, 5-phenyl-1,3-cyclohexanedione, indandione, and 2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxane-4,6-dione was studied. The reactions with 1,3-diketones of the cyclohexane series yield benzophenanthridine derivatives. The reactions with indandione, depending on conditions, give either bisarylideneindandiones or bisdihydrobenzo[f]indenoquinoline. As evidenced by the ^13C NMR and IR spectra, in the case of biphenyl-4,4'-dicarbaldehyde bis[N-(2-naphthyl)imine] and 2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxane-4,6-dione, 4,4'-bis(3-oxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydrobenzo[f]quinolin-1-yl)biphenyl is formed.     

Synthesis of amino-substituted 1,3-bis(tert-butyl-NNO-azoxy)benzenes 2.* 2-amino and 2,4-diamino derivatives

Oxidation of one of the amino groups of 2-bromo-4,6-dichloro-1,3-phenylenediamine to the nitroso group followed by its conversion into thetert-butyl-NNO-azoxy group afforded a derivative ofm-(tert-butyl-NNO-azoxy)aniline,viz., 2-bromo-3-(tert-butyl-NNO-azoxyl)-4,6-dichloroaniline. Analogously, the second amino group was converted into thetert-butyl-NNO-azoxy group to form a derivative of 1,3-bis(tert-butyl-NNO-azoxy)benzene,viz., 3-bromo-2,4-bis(tert-butyl-NNO-azoxyl)-1,5-dichlorobenzene The reaction of the latter with ammonia yielded 2-amino- and 2,4-diamino-substituted 1,3-bis-(tert-butyl-NNO-azoxyl)benzenes.

Kinetics,Mechanistic and Theoretical Studies on Scavenging Activities of Antioxidants Using 1,2-Dinitrobenzene DNB/DNB•− and DNB/DNB2– Model Systems: Cyclic Voltammetric and Quantum Semi-Empirical Data Interpretation

Here we are presenting complete electrochemical studies on redox activities of 1,2-dinitrobenzene (DNB) in the presence of antioxidants–quercetin, morin, rutin, ascorbic acid and β-carotene. Bimolecular rate constants (k₂), antioxidant activities (K_a) and diffusion coefficients (D_o) were evaluated from changes in voltammeric responses and electrochemical parameters in the presence of antioxidant’s concentrations. Theoretical charge calculations by PM3 parameterization were done which further justified our experimental electrochemical work and proposed scavenging mechanism. Present findings were also compared in details with our previously reported studies on 1,3- and 1,4-dinitrobenzene systems for their interactions with antioxidants.
