One-pot, three-component reaction of isocyanides, dialkyl acetylenedicarboxylates, and non-cyclic anhydrides: synthesis of 2,5-diaminofuran derivatives and dialkyl (E)-2-[(N-acyl-N-alkylamino)carbonyl]-2-butenedioates

Abstract  

Isocyanides, dialkyl acetylenedicarboxylates, and non-cyclic anhydrides, for example acetic anhydride or benzoic anhydride, react in one-pot to afford 2,5-diaminofuran derivatives and dialkyl (E)-2-[(N-acyl-N-alkylamino)carbonyl]-2-butenedioates in fairly good yields at room temperature.     

A Facile One-Pot Transformation of Carboxylic Acids to Amides

Carboxylic acids, converted in situ into carboxylic-(p-nitrobenzene)sulfonic anhydrides using p-nitrobenzenesulfonyl chloride, Et3N, and DMAP in CH₃CN, react with primary or secondary amines, to give amides in high yields.     

Preparation of phenol formaldehyde resins containing pendant isoimides and their isomerization to stable resins

Aminophenols were allowed to react with maleic and phthalic anhydrides, producing high yields of the corresponding N‐(hydroxyphenyl) maleamic and phthalamic acids, respectively. The amic acids were dehydrated to the corresponding maleisoimides and phthalisoimides with N,N‐dicyclohexylcarbodiimide or ethyl chloroformate as the dehydrating agent. Formaldehyde was allowed to react with the products in the presence of an acid catalyst, and novel phenol formaldehyde resins (Novolac‐like) were produced. The resins on treatment with a sodium carbonate solution or on prolonged heating at 50 °C suffered rearrangement to corresponding phenol formaldehyde resins with pendant imides. This rearrangement was accompanied by an increase in the softening point and thermal stability. © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Polym Sci A: Polym Chem 38: 3244–3252, 2000     

Formation of Cyclic ‘ortho’-Anhydrides of Heptalene-1,2-dicarboxylic Acids

1-(Alkoixycarbonyl)heptalene-2-carboxylic acids as well as 2-(alkoxycarbonyl)heptalene-1-carboxylic acids react with the iminium salt formed from N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) and oxalyl chloride, in the presence of an alcohol, to yield the corresponding cyclic ‘ortho’ -anhydrides (ψ-esters; cf. Schemes 2,3,6, and 8). When the alkoxy moiety of the acids and the alcohols is different, then diastereoisomeric ‘ortho’ -anhydrides are formed due to the non-planarity of the heptalene skeleton. The approach of the alcohol from the β-side is strongly favored (cf. Scheme 5 and Table 1). This effect can be attributed to the bent topology of the heptalene skeleton which sterically hinders the approach of the nucleophile from the α-side of the postulated intermediates, i.e. the charged O-alkylated anhydrides of type 19 (cf. Scheme 6). Whereas the ‘ortho’-anhydrides with four substituents in the ‘peri’ -positions of the heptalene skeleton are configurationally stable up to 100°, the ‘ortho’ -anhydrides with only three ‘peri’ -substituents slowly epimerize at 100° (cf. Scheme 7) due to the thermally induced inversion of the configuration of the heptalene skeleton.     

Cu‐Catalyzed Cyanation of Arylboronic Acids with Acetonitrile: A Dual Role of TEMPO

The cyanation of arylboronic acids by using acetonitrile as the “CN” source has been achieved under a Cu(cat.)/TEMPO system (TEMPO=2,2,6,6‐tetramethylpiperidine N‐oxide). The broad substrate scope includes a variety of electron‐rich and electron‐poor arylboronic acids, which react well to give the cyanated products in high to excellent yields. Mechanistic studies reveal that TEMPO?CH₂CN, generated in situ, is an active cyanating reagent, and shows high reactivity for the formation of the CN^? moiety. Moreover, TEMPO acts as a cheap oxidant to enable the reaction to be catalytic in copper.     

The chemistry of 2H-3,1-benzoxazine-2,4(1H)dione (isatoic anhydrides) 1. The synthesis of N-substituted 2H-3,1-benzoxazine-2,4(1H)diones

Three methods for the preparation of N-substituted 2H-3,1-benzoxazine-2,4(1H)diones (isatoic anhydrides) (1) utilizing 2-chloro-, 2-nitrobenzoic acids and N-unsubstituted isatoic anhydrides as starting materials, are described.     

Chemical behaviour of N-(2-hydroxybenzyl)anthranilic acids in the presence of acyclic anhydrides

The synthesis of 11-acyl-11,12-dihydrodibenz[bf][1,5]oxazocin-6-ones 9-13 is reported by reaction of N-(2-hydroxybenzyl)anthranilic acids 1 with acetic, isobutyric, 2-ethylbutyric anhydrides. The structures of the obtained 6,8,6 products are proved with the use of ir, mass spectrometry, ¹H and ¹³C nmr spectra, homo-and heteronuclear two-dimensional nmr experiments. The formation of 9-13 is discussed in relation to the obtainment of 12H-quino[2,1-b][1,3]benzoxazin-5-ones 2-8 and 6a,12-dihydro[3,1]benzoxazino[2,1-b][1,3]-benzoxazin-5-ones 14-19 from the same starting products 1 with suitable anhydrides under controlled reaction conditions.     

Esterification reactions on syndiotactic poly(2-methallyl alcohol). II. Esterification with protected (L)-aspartic and (L)-glutamic acids

The esterification of syndiotactic poly(2-methallyl alcohol) by N^α- and O^ω- protected aspartic and glutamic acids by the DCC/HOBT method is described. Depending on the extent of conversion, either homopolymers or copolymers are obtained. Both homo- and copolymers are characterized by ¹H- and ¹³C-NMR. A second route to the homopolymers has been followed, whereby the poly(2-methallyl alcohol) is first esterified by N^α-protected aspartic or glutamic acid anhydrides and, in a second step, the resulting free carboxyl group on the side chain is esterified by alcohols which are the same as the alcohol moiety of the O^ω-protecting groups. Because the homopolymers were identical to those of the first route, the formation of α-esters with the acid anhydrides is indicated.

o-Chlorobenzyloxycarbonylimino-2-phenylacetonitrile (Cl-Z-ON) and p-methoxybenzyloxycarbonylimino-2-phenylacetonitrile (MOZ-ON) have been prepared from 2-hydroxyimino-2-phenylacetonitrile (oxime), phosgene, and the corresponding alcohols. Cl-Z-ON is synthesized for the first time and found to be stable at room temperature. MOZ-ON is utilized for the preparation of MOZ-amino acids under various conditions. The oxime can be recovered and reused. The combination of Cl-Z- and MOZ- for the alternative masking of the N⁴- and N⁴-amino groups of lysine residue has also been studied.     

Direct Synthesis of Chiral 3‐Arylsuccinimides by Rhodium‐Catalyzed Enantioselective Conjugate Addition of Arylboronic Acids to Maleimides

Chiral rhodium catalysts comprising 2,5‐diaryl‐ substituted bicyclo[2.2.1]diene ligands L1 – L10 were utilized in the enantioselective 1,4‐addition reaction of arylboronic acids to N‐substituted maleimides. In the presence of 2.5 mol % of Rh^I/ L2 , enantioenriched conjugate addition adducts were isolated in 72–99 % yields with 86–98 % ee. This protocol offers a convenient method to access a variety of 3‐arylsuccinimides in a highly enantioselective manner. Maleimides with readily cleavable N‐protecting groups were tolerated enabling the synthesis of useful synthetic intermediates. Pyrrolidine 4 , a biologically active compound, and pyrrolidine 5 , an ent‐precursor to an HSD‐1 inhibitor, were synthesized to demonstrate the utility of this method.     

[RhIII(Cp*)]‐Catalyzed ortho‐Selective Direct C(sp2)H Bond Amidation/Amination of Benzoic Acids by N‐Chlorocarbamates and N‐Chloromorpholines. A Versatile Synthesis of Functionalized Anthranilic Acids

A Rh^III‐catalyzed direct ortho‐C?H amidation/amination of benzoic acids with N‐chlorocarbamates/N‐chloromorpholines was achieved, giving anthranilic acids in up to 85 % yields with excellent ortho‐selectivity and functional‐group tolerance. Successful benzoic acid aminations were achieved with carbamates bearing various amide groups including NHCO₂Me, NHCbz, and NHTroc (Cbz=carbobenzyloxy; Troc=trichloroethylchloroformate), as well as secondary amines, such as morpholines, piperizines, and piperidines, furnishing highly functionalized anthranilic acids. A stoichiometric reaction of a cyclometallated rhodium(III) complex of benzo[h]quinoline with a silver salt of N‐chlorocarbamate afforded an amido–rhodium(III) complex, which was isolated and structurally characterized by X‐ray crystallography. This finding confirmed that the C?N bond formation results from the cross‐coupling of N‐chlorocarbamate with the aryl–rhodium(III) complex. Yet, the mechanistic details regarding the C?N bond formation remain unclear; pathways involving 1,2‐aryl migration and rhodium(V)– nitrene are plausible.     

Synthesis of Dipeptides via Addition of N-(Nitroacetyl)amino-Acid Derivatives to Michael Acceptors: Scope,Stereoselectivity, and Absolute Configuration

Michael addition of N-nitroacetyl derivatives 1 of proline esters using KF under phase-transfer catalysis resulted in the formation of adducts 3–9 with chemical yields ranging from 40–90% (Scheme). Stereoselectivity of up to 51% was obtained on addition of benzyl N-(nitroacetyl)-L -prolinate ( 1a ). The absolute configuration at the newly created chiral centre was established in the case of 9 by carrying out a reductive acylation and comparing the product 10 with an authentic sample of ethyl N-(O⁵-ethyl N²-acetyl-L -glutam-1-yl)-L -prolinate (L, L - 10 ).
