Synthese und Reaktivität von 2‐Brom‐1,3‐diethyl‐2,3‐dihydro‐1 H‐1,3,2‐benzodiazaborol Molekülstruktur von Bis(1,3‐diethyl‐2,3‐dihydro‐1 H‐1,3,2‐benzodiazaborol‐2‐yl)

Synthesis and Reactivity of 2‐Bromo‐1,3‐diethyl‐2,3‐dihydro‐1 H ‐1,3,2‐benzodiazaborole Molecular Structure of Bis(1,3‐diethyl‐2,3‐dihydro‐1 H ‐1,3,2‐benzodiazaborol‐2‐yl The reaction of a slurry of calcium hydride in toluene with N,N′‐diethyl‐o‐phenylenediamine ( 1 ) and boron tribromide affords 2‐bromo‐1,3‐diethyl‐2,3‐dihydro‐1 H‐1,3,2‐benzodiazaborol ( 2 ) as a colorless oil. Compound 2 is converted into 2‐cyano‐1,3‐diethyl‐2,3‐dihydro‐1 H‐1,3,2‐benzodiazaborole ( 3 ) by treatment with silver cyanide in acetonitrile. Reaction of 2 with an equimolar amount of methyllithium affords 1,3‐diethyl‐2‐methyl‐2,3‐dihydro‐1 H‐1,3,2‐benzodiazaborole ( 4 ). 1,3,2‐Benzodiazaborole is smoothly reduced by a potassium‐sodium alloy to yield bis(1,3‐diethyl‐2,3‐dihydro‐1 H‐1,3,2‐benzodiazaborol‐2‐yl] ( 7 ), which crystallizes from n‐pentane as colorless needles. Compound 7 is also obtained from the reaction of 2 and LiSnMe₃ instead of the expected 2‐trimethylstannyl‐1,3,2‐benzodiazaborole. N,N′‐Bis(1,3‐diethyl‐2,3‐dihydro‐1 H‐1,3,2‐benzodiazaborol‐2‐ yl)‐1,2‐diamino‐ethane ( 6 ) results from the reaction of 2 with Li(en)C≡CH as the only boron containing product. Compounds 2 – 4 , 6 and 7 are characterized by means of elemental analyses and spectroscopy (IR, ¹H‐, ¹¹B{¹H}‐, ¹³C{¹H}‐NMR, MS). The molecular structure of 7 was elucidated by X‐ray diffraction analysis.     

Experimental and Theoretical Studies of Bromination of Diethyl 2,4,6‐Trimethyl‐1,4‐dihydropyridine‐3,5‐dicarboxylate

A reaction of diethyl 2,4,6‐trimethyl‐1,4‐dihydropyridine‐3,5‐dicarboxylate with 1, 2, and more equivalents of N‐bromosuccinimide (NBS) in methanol was investigated by NMR spectroscopy at a temperature interval ranging from 25 to 40°C. The reaction was found to proceed through several steps. The structures of the intermediates diethyl 3‐bromo‐2,4,6‐trimethyl‐3,4‐dihydropyridine‐3,5‐dicarboxylate, diethyl 3‐bromo‐2‐methoxy‐2,4,6‐trimethyl‐1,2,3,4‐tetrahydropyridine‐3,5‐dicarboxylate, and diethyl 3,5‐dibromo‐2‐methoxy‐2,4,6‐trimethyl‐2,3,4,5‐tetrahydropyridine‐3,5‐dicarboxylate were identified by multinuclear (¹H, ¹³C, and ¹⁵N) NMR spectral data. The optimal structures of all species participating in the reaction as well as changes in their relative energies along with the proposed pathway of the reaction were analyzed by quantum‐chemical calculations. The mechanism of bromination of diethyl 2,4,6‐trimethyl‐1,4‐dihydropyridine‐3,5‐dicarboxylate with NBS in methanol was found to favor the bromination in the 2,6‐methyl side chains as the only products in full agreement with experimental observations.

Dialkyl phosphates determination by gas chromatography: Evaluation of a microwave‐assisted derivatization†

Dialkyl phosphates are organophosphate insecticide metabolites and their urinary analysis is useful for assessing human exposure to these compounds. This study presents a sample preparation method with microwave‐assisted derivatization for two dialkyl phosphates to make the process faster before gas chromatographic analysis. The optimized conditions for derivatization procedure were: 250 μL of 2,3,4,5,6‐pentafluorobenzyl bromide 3% in acetonitrile for derivative; microwave for 5 min with intensity of 160 W. The electron ionization mass spectrometric analysis was performed using a gas chromatography with mass spectrometry QP‐2010 from the Shimadzu^® equipped with RTx^®‐5MS capillary column. Ions were monitored at selected‐ion monitoring mode at m/z 350 for diethyl thiophosphate and m/z 366 for diethyl dithiophosphate. The developed method was linear for both metabolites. The intra‐assay precision was the values ranged between 1.1 and 9.1%, for diethyl thiophosphate, and between 4.06 and 6.9%, for diethyl dithiophosphate. The interassay precision showed relative standard deviation between 10.3 and 15.1%, for diethyl thiophosphate and between 4.9 and 11.9%, for diethyl dithiophosphate. The results obtained suggests that derivatization assisted by microwave, before gas chromatography with mass spectrometry analysis, can be applied to monitoring of exposure to organophosphates once is fast, sensible, and precise method to determinate dialkyl phosphates.     

Liquid-liquid equilibria of (water + butyric acid + diethyl succinate or diethyl glutarate or diethyl adipate) ternary systems

Liquid-liquid equilibrium (LLE) data of the solubility (binodal) curves and tie-line end compositions were examined for mixtures of {(water (1) + butyric acid (2) + diethyl succinate or diethyl glutarate or diethyl adipate (3)} at 298.2 K and 101.3 ± 0.7 kPa. The relative mutual solubility of butyric acid is higher in the diethyl succinate or diethyl glutarate or diethyl adipate layers than water layers. The consistency of the experimental tie-lines was determined through the Othmer-Tobias correlation equation. The LLE data were correlated with NRTL model, indicating the reliability of the NRTL equations for these ternary systems. The best results were achieved with the NRTL equation, using non-randomness parameter (α = 0.3) for the correlation. Distribution coefficients and separation factors were measured to evaluate the extracting capability of the solvents.     

A Convenient Synthetic Route of Diethyl (4‐Oxo‐chromeno[2,3‐d]pyrimidin‐2(5)‐yl)phosphonates

Novel diethyl (4‐oxo‐3,4‐dihydro‐2H‐chromeno[2,3‐d]pyrimidin‐2‐yl)phosphonate as two enantiomers and diethyl (4‐oxo‐1,5‐dihydro‐4H‐chromeno[2,3‐d]pyrimidin‐5‐yl) phosphonate were obtained in easy procedure via reaction of 2‐imino‐2H‐chromene‐3‐carboxamide, dimethylformamide dimethyl‐acetal, and diethyl phosphite in a simple one pot. Possible reaction mechanisms were proposed. The structures of the obtained products were confirmed by elemental analyses and spectral tools.     

K2CO3‐Promoted Cascade Michael‐Alkylation Reactions: A Facile Preparation of Diethyl trans‐2,3‐Disubstituted 1,1‐Cyclopropanedicarboxylates

A cascade Michael‐alkylation reaction of diethyl benzylidenemalonates with chloroacetophenones was realized by using K₂CO₃ as the promoter. With this method, a series of diethyl trans‐2,3‐disubstituted 1,1‐cyclopropane‐ dicarboxylates have been facilely synthesized in moderate yields under mild conditions. The relative configurations of two typical products were confirmed by X‐ray crystallographic analysis.     

A new preparative method for the synthesis of diethyl 1-diazo-2,2,2-trifluoroethylphosphonate <Emphasis Type="Italic">via</Emphasis> an imino phosphonate

A preparative method for the synthesis of diethyl 1-diazo-2,2,2-trifluoroethylphosphonate from trifluoroacetic anhydride and benzyl carbamate via diethyl 1-benzyloxycarbonylimino-2,2,2-trifluoroethylphosphonate is developed. Optimum conditions for the chlorination of benzyl N-trifluoroacetylcarbamate with SOCl₂—Py to afford the imidoyl chloride, phosphorylation of the latter under the conditions of the Arbuzov reaction, as well as diazotization of amino phosphonate with isopropyl nitrite are found.     

Bicyclic [b]‐heteroannulated pyridazine derivatives. 9. cyclization reactions of 4,4‐dimethyl‐ and 4‐phenyltetrahydropyridazine‐3,6‐dione 3‐hydrazones with esters of keto dicarboxylic acids

Bis(ethoxycarbonyl)alkylidene derivatives 4 and 5 of the respective title hydrazones were obtained in the reactions with diethyl oxomalonate, diethyl oxosuccinate, diethyl 2‐oxoglutarate, and diethyl oxalo‐propionate as mixtures of geometric isomers with high predominance of one of them. On heating at 160‐200° without any solvent or on refluxing in ethanol 4 cyclized to yield the corresponding pyri‐dazino[6, 1‐c]triazines 6 , whereas heating of 5 gave, depending on the chain length, the corresponding pyra‐zolylpyridazines 8b and 8d or the pyridazinylpyridazine 8c . X‐ray analysis was used to determine the structures of 6 and 8 ; the unit cell of 6c was found to accommodate 16 molecules representing four conforma‐tional varieties. The different behavior of 4 and 5 in the cyclization reactions was interpreted in terms of the tautomeric equilibrium which was shifted towards the enamine form in 4 , and towards the imine form, in 5 . Transmission of a long‐range chirality effect in 4d and 5a‐d manifested itself in the ¹H nmr spectra as the magnetic non‐equivalence of the CH₂ protons in one or both ester ethyl groups.     

Stereochemical effects in fragmentation of diastereoisomers of protected diethyl 1,2‐diamino‐alkylphosphonates

Diastereoisomers of diethyl 5‐substituted (2‐thioxo‐imidazolidin‐4‐yl)phosphonates, which can be regarded as protected diethyl 1,2‐diaminoalkylphosphonates, have been analyzed by electron ionization mass spectrometry. Significant differences in the fragmentation of cis‐ and trans‐diastereoisomers were found. The stereospecificity of the elimination of diethyl phosphonate and the loss of the diethoxyphosphoryl group were studied using specific labeled compounds and collision‐induced dissociation. The relative abundances of ions formed via these fragmentation processes can be used for differentiation of both diastereoisomers. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Reaction of <Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-chloroamines with carbanions derived from ethyl acetoacetate and diethyl malonate

Carbanions derived from ethyl 3-oxobutanoate and diethyl malonate reacted with an equimolar amount of N-chloro-N-ethylethanamine, N-chloromorpholine, or N-chloropiperidine to give diethyl 2,3-diacetylbutanedioate and tetraethyl ethane-1,1,2,2-tetracarboxylate in 68–83% yield. The possibility of heterocoupling of ethyl 3-oxobutanoate and diethyl malonate carbanions by the action of N-chloro-N-ethylethanamine and the effect of the molar reactant ratio on the selectivity of oxidative homo- and heterocoupling were studied.     

Untersuchungen über das Verhalten organischer Mischphasen 9. Mitteilung Vergleich der binären Systeme Tetrahydrofuran mit Wasser,Methanol und Cyclohexan,Diäthyläther mit Wasser,Methanol und Cyclohexan und Tetrahydrofuran-Diäthyläther

Activities and mixing functions of the following binary systems at 25° C are discussed: 1. mixtures of tetrahydrofuran with water, methanol, and cyclohexane; 2. mixtures of diethyl ether with water, methanol, and cyclohexane, and 3. mixtures of tetrahydrofuran with diethyl ether. Comparison with similar systems shows that in systems containing methanol, the strongest interactions are formation and breaking of hydrogen bonds between alcohol molecules; interactions between methanol and ether molecules play a minor rǒle. Systems containing water exhibit two main kinds of interaction: formation and breaking of hydrogen bonds between water molecules, and formation of hydrogen bonds between water and ether molecules. Deviations from ideality are larger for diethyl ether than for tetrahydrofuran in water and methanol, and smaller in cyclohexane.     

Synthese und Eigenschaften von Spiro[1,3-benzodioxol-2,3′-pyrrolidin]

Spiro[1,3-benzodioxole-2,3′-pyrrolidine] was synthesized in several steps from ethyl 2-ethoxycarbonyl-1, 3-benzodioxole-2-acetate, prepared by condensation of pyrocatechol with either diethyl meso-dibromosuccinate, diethyl acetylenedicarboxylate or diethyl bromo maleate. The structural factors leading to the formation of the benzodioxole rather than the benzodioxan and some possible reaction mechanisms are discussed.     

Experimental and Theoretical Studies on the Bismuth‐Triflate‐Catalysed Cycloisomerisation of 1,6,10‐Trienes and Aryl Polyenes

Cycloisomerisation of polyenes such as diethyl geranylprenylmalonate [(E)‐ 1 a ], diethyl geranylphenylmalonate [(E)‐ 2 a ] and diethyl cinnamylgeranylmalonate [(E,E)‐ 3 a ] catalysed by bismuth triflate was studied from experimental and theoretical viewpoints. Several intermediates were isolated and characterised, and calculated transition‐state structures are proposed for the three reactions. The diastereoselectivity observed during the reaction of (E)‐ or (Z)‐ 2 a in favour of the formation of trans‐fused bicyclic products is discussed in detail. The nature of the active catalytic species derived from bismuth triflate was also investigated, and the formation of a hybrid Lewis acid/Brønsted acid catalyst with water molecules is proposed, supported by experimental and theoretical data.     

Photochemische Cycloadditionen von 3-Phenyl-2H-azirinen mit Benzoyl-, Äthoxycarbonyl- und Vinylphosphonaten 34. Mitteilung über Photoreaktionen

The irradiation of the 3-phenyl-2H-azirines 1a–c in the presence of diethyl benzoylphosphonate ( 8 ) in cyclonexane solution, using a mercury high pressure lamp (pyrex filter), yields the diethyl (4, 5-diphenyl-3-oxazolin-5-yl)-phosphonates 9a–c (Scheme 3). In the case of 1b a mixture of two diastereomeric 3-oxazolines, resulting from a regiospecific but non-stereospecific cycloaddition of the benzonitrile-benzylide dipole 2b to the carbonyl group of the phosphonate 8 , was isolated. Benzonitrile-isopropylide ( 2a ), generated from 2,2-dimethyl-3-phenyl-2H-azirine ( 1a ), undergoes a cycloaddition reaction to the ester-carbonyl group of diethyl ethoxycarbonylphosphonate ( 15 ) with the same regiospecificity to give the 3-oxazoline derivative 16 (Scheme 5). The azirines 1a–c , on irradiation in benzene in the presence of diethyl vinylphosphonate ( 17 ) give non-regiospecifically the Δ¹-pyrrolines 13a–c and 14a–c (Scheme 6).     

β-Carbolines as agonistic or antagonistic benzodiazepine receptor ligands. 1. Synthesis of some 5-, 6- and 7-amino derivatives of 3-methoxycarbonyl-β-carboline (β-CCM) and of 3-ethoxycarbonyl-β-carboline (β-CCE)

Condensation of diethyl formylamino- or diethyl acetylaminomalonate with 4-, 5- or 6-nitrogramine 1 afforded the diethyl formylamino- or the diethyl acetylamino[(nitroindol)-3-ylmethyl]malonates 2 ; reduction of the nitro group followed by N-formylation or acetylation of the resulting amino compounds 3 , led to the 4-, 5-and 6-acylamino derivatives 4 . Cyclization of 4 in the presence of polyphosphoric esters gave the 3,3-bis(ethoxycarbonyl)-3,4-dihydro-β-carbolines 5 , which underwent lithium chloride/water catalyzed monodeethoxycarbonylation to the corresponding 5-, 6- and 7-acylamino-3-ethoxycarbonyl-β-carbolines 6 , whose acidic hydrolysis led finally to the 5-, 6- and 7-amino-3-ethoxycarbonyl-β-carbolines 9 . The 6-amino compounds 9b-e were obtained also by direct nitration of 3-methoxycarbonyl-β-carboline 7a and of 3-ethoxycarbonyl-β-carboline 7c , followed by the nitro group reduction of the resulting nitro carbolines 8 . Preliminary studies of the binding to rabbit brain benzodiazepine receptor sites indicate compounds 9b and 9c to inhibit the ³H-diazepam binding at 10^?8 M concentrations.     

The low‐melting compounds 1,4‐diethyl‐, 1,2‐diethyl‐ and ethylbenzene

Crystals of 1,4‐diethyl‐ and 1,2‐diethylbenzene, both C₁₀H₁₄, and ethylbenzene, C₈H₉, have been grown in situ. The molecules of 1,4‐diethyl‐ and 1,2‐diethylbenzene are located about a centre of inversion and across a twofold axis, respectively. In both molecules, the terminal methyl groups are located on opposite sides of the plane of the aromatic ring. In the crystal structures of all three compounds, molecules are linked together by (Ar)C—H...π and CH₂...π contacts. The methyl H atoms do not form close contacts with any of the aromatic π systems.

The Pseudo‐Michael Reaction of 2‐Hydrazinylidene‐1‐Arylimidazolidines with Diethyl Ethoxymethylenemalonate

The pseudo‐Michael reaction of 2‐hydrazinylidene‐1‐arylimidazolidines with diethyl ethoxymethylenemalonate (DEEM) was investigated. The reaction yields the chain adduct, namely diethyl{[2‐(1‐arylimidazolidin‐2‐ylidene)hydrazinyl]methylidene}propanedioates. This is contrary to the pseudo‐Michael reaction of DEEM with 1‐aryl‐4,5‐dihydro‐1H‐imidazol‐2‐amines that does not allow isolation of chain derivatives and leads to cyclic imidazo[1,2‐a]pyrimidine derivatives while even at thermodynamic control. At first cyclization of diethyl{[2‐(1‐arylimidazolidin‐2‐ylidene)hydrazinyl]methylidene}propanedioates leads to ethyl 1‐aryl‐5(1H,8H)oxo‐2,3‐dihydro‐imidazo[2,1‐c][1,2,4]triazepine‐6‐carboxylates. 1,5‐Sigmatropic shift, following the cyclization, caused isomerization of 5(1H,8H)oxo‐2,3‐dihydro‐imidazo[2,1‐c][1,2,4]triazepine‐6‐carboxylates to ethyl 1‐aryl‐5(1H)hydroxy‐2,3‐dihydroimidazo[2,1‐c][1,2,4]triazepine‐6‐carboxylates. Presence of both isomers in the reaction product was detected in the NMR spectra. The structure of all the compounds was confirmed with spectroscopic studies (¹H NMR and MS). The structure of diethyl{[2‐(1‐phenylimidazolidin‐2‐ylidene)hydrazinyl]methylidene}propanedioate was also confirmed by X‐ray crystallography. In the addition reaction, thermodynamics and HOMO–LUMO orbitals of the reactants were studied by using quantum chemical calculations.
