Synthesis and properties of deoxypegan-1-one

Quinazolyl-2-propionic acid hydrochloride (5) was synthesized by reduction of N-(o-nitrobenzyl)succinimide with tin chloride. A pyrroloquinazolin-1-one {4, 3,9-dihydropyrrolo[2,1-b]quinazolin-1(2H)-one} was prepared in 68% yield by heating 5 in Ac₂O and subsequent treatment with Et₃N. Compound 4 was obtained in 71% yield in one step by reduction of N-(o-nitrobenzyl)succinimide with Fe in the presence of HCl. Compound 4 was protonated, alkylated, and acylated on the N₍₄₎ atom. Derivatives of quinazolyl-2-propionic acid and 1-(2-aminobenzyl)succinimide were prepared by reaction of derivatives of 4 with nucleophilic reagents. __________ Translated from Khimiya Prirodnykh Soedinenii, No. 5, pp. 459–462, September–October, 2006.     

Thiocarbamoylation of amine-containing compounds

Thiocarbamoylation of aliphatic amines with tetramethylthiuram disulfide (TMTD) was studied. The reactions were established to proceed according to a two-stage mechanism. In the first stage,S-(thiocarbamoyl)thiohydroxylamines and dimethyl dithiocarbamates are formed. The latter exist in equilibrium with dimethyldithiocarbamic acid, which can undergo decomposition to give dimethylamine and carbon disulfide. In the second stage, several competitive transformations of these intermediates into the final products occur,viz., (1) the reactions of CS₂ with primary amines on heating (70–110 °C) yield mixed and symmetrical thioureas and the reactions of CS₂ with secondary amines give symmetrical dithiocarbamates, and (2) insertion of CS₂ intoS-(thiocarbamoyl)thiohydroxylamines affords thiuram disulfides. Thiuram disulfides formed from primary amines decompose to give isothiocyanates, which are converted into thioureas by condensation with amines, whereas thiuram disulfides which are obtained in the reactions with secondary amines and which cannot form thioureas react with amines analogously to TMTD.

Transformations of 1-amino-2-(3-hydroxyalk-1-ynyl)-9,10-anthraquinones in the presence of amines

When heated in piperidine, 1-amino-2-(3-hydroxyalk-1-ynyl)-9,10-anthraquinones undergo cyclization into 2-(1-hydroxyalkyl)naphtho[2,3-g]indole-6,11-diones. In contrast, 1-amino-2-(3-hydroxy-3-phenylpropynyl)-9,10-anthraquinone reacts with primary and secondary amines to give the corresponding 1-amino-2-(1-amino-2-benzoylvinyl)-9,10-anthraquinones, which undergo cyclization into 4-dialkylamino- or 4-alkylamino-2-phenylnaphtho[2,3-h]quinoline-7,12-diones. Heating of the starting phenylpropynol with Et₃N causes its dehydrogenation and isomerization.     

Photochemical and thermal rearrangements of 2-arylamino-1-(4-tert-butylphenoxy)-9,10-anthraquinones

Photochemical transformations of 2-arylamino-1-(4-tert-butylphenoxy)-9,10-anthraquinones involve migration of thetert-butylphenyl group either to theperi-located carbonyl oxygen to give 2-arylamino-9-(4-tert-butylphenoxy)-1,10-anthraquinones or to the nitrogen atom to give 2-aryl(4-tert-butylphenyl)amino-1-hydroxy-9,10-anthraquinones (typical products of the Smiles rearrangement).

Syntheses of 2-oxabicyclo[4.10.0]hexadec-1(6)-ene from cyclododecanone

Two methods for the synthesis of 2-oxabicyclo[4.10.0]hexadec-1(6)-ene from cyclododecanone have been suggested. The most convenient method involves the preparation of 2-(3-tert-butoxypropyl)cyclododecanone by phase-transfer catalyzed alkylation of cyclododecanone with l-bromo-3-tert-butoxypropane followed by removal of the protectingtert-butyl group and elimination of water.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

3-[(E)-Arylmethylidene]-3,9-dihydropyrrolo[2,1-b]quinazolin-1(2H)-ones were prepared by reaction of quinazolyl-2-propionic acid hydrochloride with aromatic aldehydes in acetic anhydride in the presence of Et₃N. 3-[(E)-Arylmethylidene]-1,2,3,9-tetrahydropyrrolo[2,1-b]quinazolin-1-ols were formed by reduction of the 3-arylidene derivatives with sodium borohydride in methanol, readily lost water when heated with acids, and were converted into 3-[(E)-arylmethylidene]-3,9-dihydropyrrolo[2,1-b]quinazolines. __________ Translated from Khimiya Prirodnykh Soedinenii, No. 5, pp. 463–467, September–October, 2006.     

Thiocarbamoylation of amine-containing compounds

Thiocarbamoylation of 5-aminosalicylic acid with tetramethylthiuram disulfide afforded 5-(N′,N′-dimethylthioureido)salicyclic acid. Treatment of the latter with mineral acids or Ac₂O gave 5-isothiocyanatosalicylic acid whose reaction with ethanolamine yielded 5-[N′-(2-hydroxyethyl)thioureido]salicylic acid. The latter underwent cyclization under the action of TsOH to form 5-(2-thiazolin-2-ylamino)salicylic acid. For Part 2, see Ref. 1. Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

The acylation of benzo[b]furan-, benzo[b]thiophene, and indolyl-3-acetic acid arylamides using acetic anhydride in the presence of 70% perchloric acid occurs at the -position of the heterocycle to give 2-acetylbenzo[b]furan-, 2-acetylbenzo[b]thiophene, and 2-acetylindolyl-3-acetic acid arylamides. Depending on the amount of perchloric used in the reaction they undergo cyclodehydration to 3-arylamino-1-methylhetero[2,3-c]pyrilium salts and to N-aryl-1-methyl-3(2H)hetero[2,3-c]pyridones.

Ring-expansion reaction of 1-hydroperoxy-16-oxabicyclo[10.4.0]hexadecane catalyzed by copper ions: use in the synthesis of 15-pentadecanolide

A catalytic procedure has been developed for the synthesis of 15-pentadecanolide (1) from readily available 1-hydroperoxy-16-oxabicyclo[10.4.0]hexadecane (2). The method is based on the reaction of hydroperoxide2 with copper acetate (0.15–5 mol.%). Ring expansion occurred as a result of generation of tertiary bicyclohexadecyloxyl radicals4 from hydroperoxide2 under the action of Cu¹ ions, β-scission of the radicals accompanied by regioselective cleavage of the bridge bond to form macrocyclic C-centered radicals5, and their oxidation by Cu¹¹ ions to (E)-11- and (E)-12-pentadecen-15-olides (6). The products obtained were converted into 15-pentadecanolide by subsequent catalytic hydrogenation over a Pd catalyst in a yield of more than 90% with respect to hydroperoxide2.

Oxidation of N-acyl-2-(cycloalk-1-enyl)anilines with ozone and hydrogen peroxide

Treatment of the ozonization products from N-acetyl- or 2-methyl-N-trifluoroacetyl-6-(cyclopent-1-enyl)anilines with NaBH₄ gives 6-methyl-2-tetrahydropyranylaniline. When treated with Me₂S, the ozonization products yield the corresponding oxoaldehyde dimethyl acetals. The oxidation of N-acetyl-2-(cyclopent-1-enyl)- or -(cyclohex-1-enyl)anilines with H₂O₂ in HCOOH affords -(2-acetamidophenyl)-5-oxopentanoic or -6-oxohexanoic acid, respectively. The reaction of N-acetyl-2-(cyclopent-1-enyl)aniline with H₂O₂ in the presence of Na₂WO₄ and H₃PO₄ gives 3,1-benzooxazine in high yield.

Spectrophotometric study of acid-base equilibria of 4-(2-benzothiazolylazo)resorcinol and 4-(2-benzothiazolylazo)salicylic acid in water-organic solvent media

The visible absorption spectra of 4-(2-benzothiazolylazo)resorcinol (BTAR) and 4-(2-benzothiazolylazo)salicylic acid (BTAS) have been recorded in water-organic solvent mixtures in the pH range 0.5–12.0. The organic solvents used are methanol, ethanol,n-propanol, iso-propanol, acetone, dioxane and dimethyl formamide. The spectral changes have been explained in terms of shifts in equilibria among different molecular and ionic species of BTAR and BTAS existing in solution. The pK _a values corresponding to the different ionization steps have been determined at 25°C and I=0.1M (KNO₃) by graphic analysis of the absorbance-pH curves. The results obtained are discussed in terms of the molecular structure of the reagents and the nature of the organic co-solvent used.
