Regioselective synthesis and structural elucidation of 1,4-disubstituted 1,2,3-triazole derivatives using 1D and 2D NMR spectral techniques

Regioselective synthesis of 2-[1-(2-oxo-2-phenylethyl)-1H-[1,2,3]triazol-4-ylmethoxy]-benzaldehyde derivatives was achieved by [3 + 2] cycloaddition reaction of 2-(prop)-2-ynyloxy-benzaldehyde derivatives with phenacyl azide. The regiochemistry and the spectral assignments of the synthesized triazole derivatives were studied using both 1D and 2D NMR spectral techniques in solution.     

Investigations of the products of the reaction of epichlorohydrin with aromatic amines

Heating 3-hydroxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydrobenzo[h]quinoline with phosphorus oxychloride gave a mixture of isomeric 3-chloro-1,2,3,4-tetrahydrobenzo[h]quinoline and 2-(chloromethyl)-benz[g]indoline, which are converted to a mixture of 3-benzoyloxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydrobenzo-[h]quinoline and 2-(benzoyloxymethyl)benz[g]indoline on reaction with potassium benzoate. Saponification of 2-(benzoyloxymethyl)benz[g]indoline gave 2-(hydroxymethyl)benz[g]indoline. The reaction of the isomeric chloro derivatives with potassium cyanide gave 2-(benz[g]-indolinyl)acetonitrile.See [1] for communication IX.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 3, pp. 362–366, March, 1972.     

A practical synthesis of isomerically pure 1,10-difunctionalized derivatives of the [closo-1-CB9H10] anion

The isomer-free [closo-1-CB9H(8)-1-COOH-10-I]- anion was prepared in four steps and 10% overall yield from B10H14. The key step is the skeletal isomerization of the [closo-2-CB9H8-2-COOH-7-I]- anion to a mixture of the 10- and 6-iodo derivatives of [closo-1-CB9H(9)-1-COOH]- formed in up to a 3:1 ratio. The carboxylic acid 4 was converted to the amine [closo-1-CB9H(8)-1-NH(2)-10-I]- using the Curtius reaction. The relative thermodynamic stability of each product was calculated at the DFT and MP2 levels of theory. The regioselectivity of electrophilic substitution in [closo-CB9H10]- derivatives was briefly investigated using the NBO population analysis of the MP2 wave function.     

A novel one-pot synthesis of some new interesting pyrrole derivatives

[reaction: see text] 11-(1H-Pyrrol-1-yl)-11H-indeno[1,2-b]quinoxaline and 3-(1H-pyrrol-1-yl)indolin-2-one derivatives have been synthesized in good yields in a novel, one-pot, and efficient process by condensation of 11H-indeno[1,2-b]quinoxalin-11-one or isatin derivatives with 4-hydroxyproline on solid-support montmorillonite K10 under microwave irradiation.     

Novel Selected Tandem Transformations of the Amino and Carbonyl/Nitrile Groups in the Gewald Thiophenes

Novel transformations of the amino and carbonyl/nitrile groups in the Gewald thiophenes were studied for thienopyrimidine synthesis. It was found that 2-amino-thiophene-3-carboxamides and ethyl 2-(acetylamino)-4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-1-benzothiophene-3-carbo- xylate did not yield tetrazole derivatives, neither in the reaction with triethyl orthoformate and sodium azide, nor in the reaction with phosphorus oxychloride and sodium azide, correspondingly. On the contrary, derivatives of thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4(3H)-one and thieno[2,3-d][1,3]oxazin-4-one were isolated. New 2-azidothiophenes [2-azido-4,5,6,7-tetra hydro-1-benzothiophene-3-carbonitrile and 2-azido-4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-1-benzothiophen-3-yl(phenyl)methanone] were synthesized and used in anionic domino reactions with activated acetonitriles to yield thieno[3,2-e][1,2,3]triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidines and/or 2-(5-amino-1H-1,2,3-triazol-1-yl)thiophenes. Finally, a new ring system of thieno[3,2-e]pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine was synthesized via a domino reaction of ethyl 2-[(2Z)-2-(1-chloro-2-ethoxy-2-oxoethylidene)hydrazino]-4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-1-benzothiophene-3-carboxylate with activated acetonitriles.     

Reaction of 2-aminothiophenol with acrylic acid and conversion of the resultant adducts

The reaction of acrylic acid with 2-aminothiophenol gives 5-carboxyethyl-2,3-dihydro-5H-benzo[b][1,4]-thiazepin-4-one and N-[2-(carboxyethylthio)phenyl]-α-alanine, while the reaction of acrylic acid with bis(2-aminophenyl) disulfide gives bis[2-(carboxyethylamino)phenyl] disulfide. The action of potassium thiocyanate in acid medium on the carboxyethylamino derivatives yields 1-[2-carboxyethylthio)phenyl]dihydro-4(1H,3H)-pyrimidinone-2-thione, bis-{2-[dihydro-4(1H, 3H)-pyrimidinone-2-thion-1-yl]phenyl} disulfide, and 3-(2-mercaptobenzothiazol-3-yl)propanoic acid. __________ Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 2, pp. 256–261, February, 2006.     

Reactions of [2+2+1]-cycloaddition with the participation of cyclopropenes and dicobalt hexacarbonyl complexes of acetylenes

The reaction of dicobalt hexacarbonyl complexes of acetylene and its phenyl and dimethyl derivatives with the methyl ester of 1-methyl-2-(trimethylsilyl)-1-cyclopropene-3-carboxylic acid with adsorption on a silica gel or NaX zeolite surface leads to the formation of a mixture of bicyclo[3.1.0]hex-2-en-4-one and tricyclo[4.1.0.0^2,4]heptan-5-one derivatives, whereby the yields and the composition of products are dependent on the type of the adsorbent. It has been found that under the reaction conditions partial isomerization of the bicyclo-[3.1.0]hex-2-en-4-one derivatives into substituted phenols occurs. Action of anhydrous KF and crown-ether in acetonitrile on the bicyclo[3.1.0]hex-2-en-4-one derivatives in acetonitrile leads to protodesilylation.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 11, pp. 2565–2571, November, 1991.     

Synthetic studies on diuretics. 5-(3,3-N,S-substituted-2-propenoyl)-2,3-dihydro-2- benzo[b]furancarboxylic acids

6,7-Dichloro-2,3-dihydro-2-benzo[b]furancarboxylic acid derivatives having a 3,3-N,S-disubstituted-2-propenoyl group at the 5-position were prepared by alkylation of 5-(thiocarbamoyl)acetyl derivatives of the 2,3-dihydro-2-benzo[b]furancarboxylic acid ester or by acetal exchange reaction of 5-[3,3-bis(alkylthio)-2-propenoyl] derivatives. Synthesis of 5-[4 and/or 5-(di)substituted-4-thiazolin-2-ylidene]acetyl-2,3- dihydro-2-benzo[b]furancarboxylic acids was also achieved by the reaction of 2-halo-1-methoxyethyl isothiocyanate with the 5-acetyl derivative in the presence of base or through sulfide contraction of 2-[[6,7-dichloro-2-methoxycarbonyl-2,3-dihydrobenzo[b]furan-5-yl) carbonyl)-methylthio]thiazolium bromide. Some of the compounds which were synthesized showed potent natriuretic activities in rats and mice. The structure-activity relationship is also discussed.     

Synthesis and Characterization of Some Novel Higher C,N-Diphenyl Nitrones,Isoxazolines, and Mercaptobenzimidazoles as Oleochemicals

Abstract

Some novel long-chain nitrones, isoxazolines, and (1H-benzo[d]-imidazol-2-ylthio) derivatives were synthesized. Nitrones, N-{4-[2-(tetradecylthio)acetoxy]benzylidene}aniline oxide, and N-[4-(12-oxo-2,5,8,11-tetraoxadocosan-22-yloxy)benzylidene]aniline oxide were prepared via the reaction of β-phenylhydroxylamine with the corresponding aromatic aldehydes. The isoxazolines were prepared from undec-10-en-1-ol and benzonitrile-N-oxide which was generated in situ. The 1H-benzo[d]-imidazol-2-ylthio derivatives were synthesized via the replacement reaction of ω-bromo esters and 2-mercaptobenzimidazole.     

Modulating the reactivity of functionalized N,S-ketene acetal in MCR: selective synthesis of tetrahydropyridines and thiochromeno[2,3-b]pyridines via DABCO-catalyzed tandem annulation

An efficient and straightforward three-component synthetic protocol was developed to synthesize 1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyridine derivatives or thiochromeno[2,3-b]pyridine derivatives from β-aroylthioacetanilides or β-(2-haloaroyl)thioacetanilides, aldehydes, and aroyl acetonitriles via DABCO-catalyzed tandem [3 + 2 + 1] annulation and S(N)Ar reaction. This synthetic approach has the prominent features of high chemo-, stereo- (or enantio-), and unusual regioselectivity. In the domino processes, at least seven reactive sites were involved, and up to three covalent bonds and one functionalized pyridine ring were generated. This facile and efficient reaction is a quite general for the preparation of tetrahydropyridine derivatives or thiochromeno[2,3-b]pyridine derivatives.

Photodimerization of azaanthracene derivatives mediated by cucurbit[10]uril

Challenges of achieving efficient photodimerization of azaanthracene derivatives remain due to the low selectivity and slow reaction rate. In this paper, cucurbit[10]uril (CB[10]), with the largest rigid and hydrophobic cavity among CB[n]s, was used to affect the photodimerization reaction of four water-soluble 1-(2-)substituted azaanthracene derivatives (1-4). It revealed that 1-4 could form 1:2 host-guest complexes with CB[10] in aqueous solution. Irradiation of 1 in the presence of 0.5 equiv. of CB[10] selectively produced a head-to-tail (anti-HT) photodimer product. As for 2-4, CB[10] acted as a nanoreactor accelerating their photodimerization reaction in water. Our results suggest that photodimerization of azaanthracene derivatives could be promoted by the CB[10]-based host-guest strategy with high efficiency and selectivity.     

Heterocycles containing nitrogen and sulfur. Part 49. Synthesis of derivatives of new heterocyclic systems: 1,2-Dioxocyclopenta(hexa)[g]oxazolidino-[3,2-f] pyrimido[4,5-b][1,4]thiazine, 1,2-dioxocyclopenta(hexa)-[g] imidazolidino[3,2-f]pyrimido[4,5-b][1,4]thiazine, and 1,2-oxazino[5,4-g]pyrimidino[4,5-b][1,4]thiazine

The reaction of 4-methoxy-5-amino-6-mercaptopyrimidine with 2-oxo-1-chlorocyclopentyl(hexyl)glyoxalate esters gave derivatives of the previously unknown tetracyclic systems 1,2-dioxocyclopenta (hexa)[g]oxazolidino[3,2-f]pyrimido[4,5-b][1,4]thiazines, which are transformed by ammonium acetate into derivatives of 1,2-dioxocyclopenta(hexa) [g]imidazolidino[3,2-f]pyrimido[4,5-b]-[1,4] thiazines. Derivatives of the new tricyclic 1-oxazino [5,4-g]pyrimido[4,5-b][1,4]thiazine system were obrtained by reaction of 6-carbethoxy-7-acetylpyrimido [4,5-b] [1,4] thiazines with hydroxylamine.     

Catalytic asymmetric synthesis of allylic aryl ethers

[reaction: see text] The reaction of trichloroacetimidate derivatives of (Z)-2-alken-1-ols with phenol nucleophiles in the presence of the palladium(II) catalyst [COP-OAc]2 provides 3-aryloxy-1-alkenes in high yields and high enantiomeric purity (typically 63-90% yield and 90-97% ee). The reaction is exemplified by 20 examples. The method employs 1 mol % of the commercially available catalysts (S)- or (R)-[COPOAc]2, produces the branched isomer with unprecedented regioselectivity, and is compatible with the presence of base-labile functionality in either reactant.     

Condensed isoquinolines. 37.* Heterocyclization using 3-(arylamino)- and 3-(hetarylamino)isoquinolin-1(2H)-ones

The reaction of 3-NHR-isoquinolin-1(2H)-ones (R = Ar) with aromatic aldehydes in the presence of Me3SiCl or in acetic acid leads to the formation of derivatives of dibenzo[b,f][1, 8]naphthyridin-5(6H)- one and benzo[f]isoquino[3,4-b][1, 8]naphthyridine-5,9(6H,7H)-dione. The reaction for R = Het in the presence of Me3SiCl gives derivatives of 5H-pyrido[1',2':1,2]pyrimido[4,5-c]isoquinolin-5-one, benzo[f]isoquinoline[3,4-b][1,8]naphthyridine-5,9[6H,7H]-dione, and derivatives of new heterocyclic systems, 5H-pyrazino[1',2':1,2]pyrimido[4,5-c]isoquinolin-5-one, 5H-[1,3]thiazolo[3',2':1,2]pyrimido- [4,5-c]isoquinolin-5-one, 5-H-benzo[f]pyrazolo[3,4-b][1,8]naphthyridin-5-one, and isoquino[3,4-b]- [1,5]naphthyridin-5(6H)-one. The effect of the structure of substituent R and nature of the substituent in the benzaldehydes on the structure of the reaction products was studied.     

Synthesis of some new pyrimidine selanyl derivatives

The targeted synthesis of 2-(methylsulfanyl)-6-(furan-2-yl)-4(3H)-selenoxo -pyrimidine-5-carbonitrile failed due to the formation 1-methyl-2-methylsulfanyl-6-oxo -4-(furan-2-yl)-1,6-dihydropyrimidine-5-carbonitrile. A new series of 5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-1-benzo thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidine-4-yl substituted selanyl derivatives were prepared by the reaction of sodium diselenide with 4-chloro-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-1-benzothieno[2,3-d]pyrimidine followed by the reaction with chloroacetic acid derivatives such as ethyl chloroacetate, chloroacetamide or chloroacetonitrile. Hydrazinolysis of ethyl (5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-1-benzothieno[2,3-d]pyrimidine- 4-ylselanyl)acetate with hydrazine hydrate gave the corresponding hydrazino derivative. The latter reacted with ethyl acetoacetate, acetylacetone, diethyl malonate, ethoxymethylenemalononitrile or ethyl 2-cyano-3-ethoxyacetate to afford 5-methyl-2-[2-(5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-1-benzothieno [2,3-d]pyrimidine-4-ylselanyl)acetyl]-2,4-dihydropyrazol-3-one, 1-(3,5-dimethylpyrazol-1-yl)-2- (5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-1-benzothieno[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4-ylselanyl)ethanone, 1-[2-(5,6,7,8-tetrahydro -1-benzothieno[2,3-d]pyrimidine-4-ylselanyl)acetyl]-2,4-dihydropyrazolidine-3,5-dione and 5-Amino-1-[2-(5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-1-benzothieno[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4-ylselanyl)acetyl]-1H-pyrazol -4-yl substituted carbonitrile or ethyl carboxylate, respectively. The structure of the novel compounds was confirmed by spectroscopic tools (IR, ¹H NMR ¹³C NMR and mass spectra) and elemental analysis.     

Synthesis of 5-azaindolizine derivatives by the palladium-catalyzed intermolecular formal [3+2] cycloaddition of alkylidenecyclopropanes with 1,2-diazines

The palladium-catalyzed formal [3+2] cycloaddition reaction of alkylidenecyclopropanes with 1,2-diazines proceeded smoothly to give the corresponding 5-azaindolizine derivatives in good to allowable yields. For example, in the presence of 5 mol % of Pd(PPh(3))(4), the reaction of 1-propylhexylidenecyclopropane with phthalazine or with pyridazine proceeded at 120 degrees C without solvent, and the corresponding 2-(1-butylpentyl)pyrrolo[2,1-a]phthalazine or 6-(1-butylpentyl)pyrrolo[1,2-b]pyridazine was obtained in 61% or 49% yield, respectively.     

Synthesis of 7-azabicyclo[2.2.1]heptane and 2-oxa-4-azabicyclo[3.3.1]non-3-ene derivatives by base-promoted heterocyclization of alkyl N-(cis(trans)-3,trans(cis)-4-dibromocyclohex-1-yl)carbamates and N-(cis(trans)-3,trans(cis)-4-dibromocyclohex-1-yl)-2,2,2-trifluoroacetamides

We have studied the base-promoted heterocyclization of alkyl N-(cis(trans)-3,trans(cis)-4-dibromocyclohex-1-yl)carbamates and N-(cis(trans)-3,trans(cis)-4-dibromocyclohex-1-yl)-2,2,2-trifluoroacetamides, investigating the effect of the nitrogen protecting group and the relative configuration of the leaving group at C3 and C4 on the outcome of this reaction. We have observed that the sodium hydride-promoted heterocyclization of alkyl N-(cis-3,trans-4-dibromocyclohex-1-yl)carbamates (10, 12, 14, 16, 18) is a convenient method for the synthesis of 7-azabicyclo[2.2.1]heptane derivatives. For instance, the reaction of tert-butyl N-(cis-3,trans-4-dibromocyclohex-1-yl)carbamate (10) with sodium hydride in DMF at room temperature provides 2-bromo-7-[(tert-butoxy)carbonyl]-7-azabicyclo[2.2.1]heptane (2) (52% yield), whose t-BuOK-promoted hydrogen bromide elimination affords 7-[(tert-butoxy)carbonyl]-7-azabicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-ene (31) in 78% yield, an intermediate in the total synthesis of epibatidine (1). However, the NaH/DMF-mediated heterocyclization of alkyl N-(trans-3,cis-4-dibromocyclohex-1-yl)carbamates (11, 13) is a more structure dependent reaction, where the nucleophilic attack of the oxygen atom of the protecting group controls the outcome of the reaction, giving rise to benzooxazolone and 2-oxa-4-azabicyclo[3.3.1]non-3-ene derivatives, respectively, from low to moderate yields, in complex reaction mixtures. Conversely, the NaH/DMF heterocyclizations of N-(cis-3,trans-4-dibromocyclohex-1-yl)-2,2,2-trifluoroacetamide (40) or N-(trans-3,cis-4-dibromocyclohex-1-yl)-2,2,2-trifluoroacetamide (42) are very clean reactions giving 7-azabicyclo[2.2.1]heptane or 2-oxa-4-azabicyclo[3.3.1]non-3-ene derivatives, respectively, in good yields. Finally, a mechanistic investigation, based on DFT calculations, has been carried out to rationalize the formation of the different adducts.     

Investigation of the products of the reaction of epichlorohydrin with aromatic amines

The action of hydrogen halides on 7a,8-dihydro-7H-azirino[1,2-]benz[g]indole gives 2-halomethyl-2,3-dihydro-1H-benz[g]indoles and 3-halo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydrobenzo[h]quinolines, which were converted to the corresponding N-nitroso derivatives and then to the isonitroso derivatives. 2-(Benzoxymethyl)-2,3-dihydro-1H-benz[g]indole hydrohalides were obtained by heating 1-benzoyl-2-halomethyl-2,3-dihydro-1H-benz[g]indoles. The reaction of 3-halo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydrobenzo[h]quinolines with thionyl chloride at room temperature gives 3-halo-6-chloro-1,2,3,4-tetrahydrobenzo[h]quinolines, while refluxing with thionyl chloride gives 6-chlorobenzo[h]quinoline.See [1] for communication XVI.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 3, pp. 342–346, March, 1973.     

Total synthesis of (+/-)-8alpha-hydroxystreptazolone

[reaction: see text] The intramolecular Pauson-Khand reaction of 2-oxazolone derivatives with a suitable pentynyl appendage exclusively gave the corresponding 4-hydroxy-6-substituted-9-oxa-1-azatricyclo[6.2.1.0(5,11)]undec-5-en-7,10-diones. Based on this newly developed Pauson-Khand reaction of 2-oxazolone-alkyne derivatives, the first total synthesis of (+/-)-8alpha-hydroxystreptazolone was accomplished in a highly stereoselective manner.
