On the interaction between mercury(II) salts and 3-methylpyrazoline-5-one. The first crystal structure of a cyclic organomercuric compound with a dimercurated methylenic carbon atom

Synthesis and characterization of two types of novel organomercury derivatives of 3-methylpyrazoline-5-one (MepzH₂-one), (XHg)₂(MepzH-one) (X = Cl⁻, Br⁻) and Hg(MepzH-one)₂ are described. The ¹H and ¹³C NMR data revealed existence of dimercurated compounds in the dimethylsulfoxide-d ₆ solution. NMR spectra confirmed that the mercuration took place at the C-4 atom of the pyrazole ring. X-ray crystal structure analysis of 4,4-bis(chloromercurio)-3-methylpyrazoline-5-one revealed almost linear coordination of both mercury atoms [Hg–C 2.099(6) and 2.104(5) ; Hg–Cl 2.330(2) and 2.338(2) ; C–Hg–Cl 171.1(2) and 174.4(2)°]. The slight deviation from linearity is caused by contacts with nitrogen or oxygen atoms from the neighbouring molecule [HgN 2.768(5) and HgO 2.748(5) ]. The molecules are interconnected by hydrogen bonds N–HCl of 3.286(5) .     

On the mechanism of the Fe(CO)5-catalyzed Kharasch reaction

Regioselectivity and diastereoselectivity of the addition of BrCCl₃ to (R)-3-(E)-cinnamoyl-4-phenyloxazolidin-2-one (1) and (R)-3-(E)-acryloyl-4-phenyloxazolidin-2-one (2) catalyzed by Fe(CO)₅ or initiated with benzoyl peroxide were investigated. Stereochemistry of the reaction of BrCCl₃ with the a-complexes (4R,S,S)-²-(3-(E)-cinnamoyl-4-phenyl-oxazolidin-2-one)irontetracarbonyl (3a) and (4R,R)-²-(3-acryloyl-4-phenyloxazolidin-2-one)irontetracarbonyl (4b) was also studied. The results obtained allow the following conclusions to be drawn: (1) the thermal Kharasch reaction catalyzed by Fe(CO)₅ proceeds by a redox catalysis mechanism; (2) iron (in any of its oxidation states) is not coordinated to olefins in the transition state of the reaction; (3) the transfer of the halogen atom on the radical adduct probably occurs inside a radical-iron cation pair.Yu.

Synthesis of isomeric 3-phenyl-5-(pyridylmethylene)-2-thiohydantoins and their S-methylated derivatives. Molecular and crystal structures of (5Z)-3-phenyl-5-(pyridin-2-ylmethylene)-2-thiohydantoin and (5Z)-2-methylthio-3-phenyl-5-(pyridin-2-ylmethylene)-3,5-dihydro-4H-imidazol-4-one

Three procedures were used for the synthesis of -, , and -pyridyl-substituted (5Z)-3-phenyl-5-(pyridylmethylene)-2-thiohydantoins: the reaction of 2-thiohydantoin with the corresponding aldehyde in AcOH in the presence of AcONa, the two-step one-pot synthesis with the use of the same starting compounds, and three-component condensation of aryl isothiocyanate, glycine, and aldehyde in AcOH. Alkylation of the resulting thiohydantoins with iodomethane in the presence of a base afforded the corresponding S-methylated derivatives, viz., 2-methylthio-3-phenyl-5-(pyridylmethylene)-3,5-dihydro-4H-imidazol-4-ones. The structures of (5Z)-3-phenyl-5-(pyridin-2-ylmethylene)-2-thioxoimidazolin-4-one and (5Z)-2-methylthio-3-phenyl-5-(pyridin-2-ylmethylene)-3,5-dihydro-4H-imidazol-4-one were established by X-ray diffraction analysis.__________Published in Russian in Izvestiya Akademii Nauk.

The preparation of 5-(2-aminophenyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazole-2(3H)-one and its rearrangement to 3-amino-2,4(1H,3H)-quinazolinedione

When anthranilic acid hydrazide is reacted with 1,1-carbonyldiimidazole inTHF 5-(2-aminophenyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazole-2(3H)-one (4) is formed. It can also be prepared from 1-o-aminobenzoyl-4,4-dimethylsemicarbazide which eliminates methylamine when boiled withDMF. On heating the 5-(2-aminophenyl)-1,3,4-oxiadiazole above its melting point it rearranges to 3-amino-2,4(1H,3H)-quinazolinedione (5).

Cyclizations of monocyclic 5-nitropyridin-2(1<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>)-ones

Reactions of 5-nitropyridin-2(1H)-one and its N-methyl derivative with hydrazine hydrate led to the formation of (1H-pyrazol-3-yl) acetohydrazide. Under analogous conditions, 1,3-dimethyl-5-nitropyridin2(1H)-one gave rise to 2-(1H-pyrazol-3-yl)propionohydrazide, while 6-methyl-5-nitropyridin-2(1H)-one was converted into (5-methyl-1H-pyrazol-3-yl)acetohydrazide. Hydrazinolysis of 4-methyl-5-nitropyridin-2(1H)-one resulted in the formation of 3-methyl-4-nitro-1H-pyrazole. The mechanism of recyclization of nitropyridine derivatives by the action of hydrazine hydrate was studied using 5-nitropyridin-2(1H)-one and 1-methyl-5-nitropyridin-2(1H)-one as examples.     

Oxidative cyclisation of chalcones with thallium(III)nitrate: Synthesis of (Z)-2-phenylmethylene-7-nitro-3(2H)-benzofuranones

Oxidation of 2-hydroxy-3-nitrochalcones with thallium(III) nitrate gives (Z)-2-phenylmethylene-7-nitrobenzofuran-3(2H)-one derivatives, rather than the more usual 1,2-diaryl-3,3-dimethoxypropan-1-ones or the corresponding isoflavones.

Isostructural triazenido complexes of first row transition metals. Part 3. Low spin cyclopentadienyl complexes of cobalt(II) (η5-C5H5)(PPh3)(RN3R)Co

Summary Reaction of (PPh₃)₂Cl₂Co^II with TlC₅H₅ gave the new ( ⁵-C₅H₅)(PPh₃)ClCo^II complex. This complex reacted with Ag(RN₃R) or Cu(RN₃R) (R=p-MeC₆H₄,p-ClC₆H₄ or 3,5-Cl₂C₆H₃) to give the novel compounds ( ⁵-C₅H₅)(PPh₃)(RN₃R)Co^II, with a spin state of one half, which are representatives of the very small class of paramagnetic monocyclopentadienyl transition metal complexes. The structural conclusions are based on comparison with the isostructural [ ⁵-C₅H₅)(PPh₃)(RN₃R)Co^III]PF₆ complex, on the i.r. spectra and on the observed redox behaviour. The e.p.r. spectra are reported, but are not well enough resolved for the determination of the hyperfine interactions. The orbital scheme of the new complex is discussed in terms of a distorted octahedral crystal field in relation to the series of isostructural ( ⁵-C₅H₅)(PPh₃)(RN₃R)M^II (M = Fe, Co or Ni) complexes.     

Zum Reaktionsverhalten von Imidazolin-Δ3-thionen-(5)

Zusammenfassung Imidazolin-³-thione-(5) sind zyklische Thioamide, die auch als Thiolimide (5-Mercapto-2H-imidazole) reagieren können. Die Reaktionsmöglichkeiten des exozyklisch gebundenen S-Atoms werden am Beispiel des 2-Methyl1-2,4-diphenyl-imidazolin-³-thion-(5) demonstriert. Vom Thiolimid-Tautomeren leiten sich Cd- und Cu-Salze, S-Alkyl- und S-Acylderivate sowie das Bis-[2H-imidazol-5-yl]-disulfid ab. Aus dem Thioamid entsteht mit H₂O₂ in Methanol das S-Oxid, das sich durch Acetylierung und nachfolgende Hydrolyse in das Disulfid überführen läßt. In höherer Ausbeute entsteht das Disulfid direkt aus dem Imidazolin-³-thion-(5) durch Behandeln mitAc ₂O und H₂O₂ in Gegenwart von Pyridin. Disulfid oder Imidazolin-³-thion-(5) ergeben mit SO₂Cl₂ 5-Chlor-2H-imidazol, welches mit Aminen zu 5-Amino-2H-imidazolen ungesetzt werden kann. Aus der reduktiven Entschwefelung von Imidazolin-³-thion mit LiAlH₄ resultieren unter Ringöffnung Gemische zweier isomerer Diamine.

³-Imidazoline-5-thiones are cyclic thioamides which can react also as thiol imides (5-mercapto-2H-imidazoles). The reactions of the exocyclic S atom are demonstrated with 2-methyl-2.4-diphenyl-³-imidazoline-5-thione.Derivatives of the tautomer thiolimide are cadmium and copper salts, S-alkyl and S-acyl derivatives and the bis-[2H-imidazol-5-yl]-disulphide. Oxidation of the thioamide in methanolic solution with H₂O₂ gives the corresponding disulphide. Better yields of the disulphide are obtained when ³-imidazoline-5-thione is treated simultaneously withAc ₂O, H₂O₂ and pyridine. Reaction of the disulphide or of the ³-imidazoline-5-thione with SO₂Cl₂ gives 5-chloro-2H-imidazole, which can be converted to 5-amino-2H-imidazoles with amines. Desulphurization of the ³-imidazoline-5-thione under reducing conditions (LiAlH₄) causes ring opening to yield a mixture of two isomeric diamines.

5-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-3-{[4-(2-pyridyl)piperazine-1-yl]methyl}-1,3,4-oxadiazole-2(3H)-one: Synthesis, characterization, X-ray and DFT structures

5-(3,4-Dichlorophenyl)-3-{[4-(2-pyridyl)piperazine-1-yl)]methyl}-1,3,4-oxadiazole-2(3H)-one C₁₈H₁₇Cl₂N₅O₂ (3) is synthesized and characterized by IR, ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, elemental analyses, single-crystal X-ray diffraction, and the molecular structure is also optimized at the B3LYP/6-31G(d,p) level using density functional theory (DFT). All data obtained from the spectral studies support the structural properties of 3. The molecules are linked principally by C-H??O hydrogen bonds involving carbonyl atoms and carboxylate O atoms, forming R ₂ ² (16) and R ₄ ² (20) rings that link to give a one-dimensional network of molecules. An extensive two-dimensional network of C-H??O hydrogen bonds and ?С??? interactions are responsible for crystal stabilization.     

Palladium complex of 6-(2-hydroxy-5-methylphenyl)-3-(pyridin-2-yl)-1,2,4-triazin-5(2<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>)-one: Synthesis,structure, and catalytic activity

Palladium(II) complex with 6-(2-hydroxy-5-methylphenyl)-3-(pyridin-2-yl)-1,2,4-triazin-5(2H)-one was synthesized for the first time. The ligand was prepared from 3-(pyridin-2-yl)-1,2,4-triazin-5(2H)-one and 4-methylphenol via nucleophilic substitution of hydrogen (S_N^H reaction). The complex was readily soluble in basic medium, and it effectively catalyzed Mizoroki-Heck reaction.     

A facile synthesis of (Z)-5-(substituted)-2-(methylthio)thiazol-4(5H)-one using microwave irradiation and conventional method

A new effective approach to the synthesis of some new (Z)-5-(substituted)-2-thioxothiazolidin-4-one 3a–l and (Z)-5-(substituted)-2-(methylthio)thiazol-4(5H)-one 5a–l is reported under microwave irradiation as well as conventional conditions.     

One‐dimensional Cadmium(II) Coordination Polymers: Syntheses and Crystal Structures of [Cd(H2O)3(C5H6O4)]·2H2O,Cd(H2O)2(C6H8O4), and Cd(H2O)2(C8H12O4)

[Cd(H₂O)₃(C₅H₆O₄)]·2H₂O ( 1 ) and Cd(H₂O)₂(C₆H₈O₄) ( 2 ) were prepared from reactions of fresh CdCO₃ precipitate with aqueous solutions of glutaric acid and adipic acid, respectively, while Cd(H₂O)₂(C₈H₁₂O₄) ( 3 ) crystallized in a filtrate obtained from the hydrothermal reaction of CdCl₂·2.5H₂O, suberic acid and H₂O. Compound 1 consists of hydrogen bonded water molecules and linear {[Cd(H₂O)₃](C₅H₆O₄)_2/2} chains, which result from the pentagonal bipyramidally coordinated Cd atoms bridged by bis‐chelating glutarato ligands. In 2 and 3 , the six‐coordinate Cd atoms are bridged by bis‐chelating adipato and suberato ligands into zigzag chains according to {[Cd(H₂O)₃](C₅H₆O₄)_2/2} and {[Cd(H₂O)₂](C₈H₁₂O₄)_2/2}, respectively. The hydrogen bonds between water and the carboxylate oxygen atoms are responsible for the supramolecular assemblies of the zigzag chains into 3D networks. Crystallographic data: ( 1 ) P1¯ (no. 2), a = 8.012(1), b = 8.160(1), c = 8.939(1) Å, α = 82.29(1)°, β = 76.69(1)°, γ = 81.68(1)°, U = 559.6(1) ų, Z = 2; ( 2 ) C2/c (no. 15), a = 16.495(1), b = 5.578(1), c = 11.073(1) Å, β = 95.48(1)°, U = 1014.2(1) ų, Z = 4; ( 3 ) P2/c (no. 13), a = 9.407(2), b = 5.491(1), c = 11.317(2) Å, β = 95.93(3)°, U = 581.4(2) ų, Z = 2.     

Thermal Studies of Cobalt(II), Nickel(II) and Copper(II) Complexes of 4-(Sulfonylazido Phenylazo) Pyrazolones

The thermal decompositions of cobalt(II), nickel(II) and copper(II) complexes of4-(3'-sulfonylazido-6'-methoxyphenylazo)-1-phenyl-3-methyl-2-pyrazolin-5-one H(D¹–SO₂N₃) and 4-(4'-sulfonylazido phenylazo)-3-phenyl-3-methyl-2-pyrazolin-5-one H(D²–SO₂N₃) were studied by thermogravimetry. The decomposition in all cases takes place along two stages. The first stage is due to the elimination of water and nitrogen molecules with the formation of tetracoordinate complexes containing nitrene reactive species[M(DSO₂N:)₂]. The second stage represents the decomposition of the material to the metal oxide. The kinetics of the decomposition were examined by using Coats–Redfern, the decomposition in all complexes was found to be first order for the first and second stages. The activation energies and other activation parameters (H^* and S^* and G^*) were computed and related to the bonding and stereochemistry of the complexes.This revised version was published online in November 2005 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

1,2,4-Triazines. 8. Reduction of 4-methyl-1,2,4-triazin-5(4H)-ones with sodium borohydride. Regioselective preparation of dihydro-1,2,4-triazin-5(4H)-ones

Reduction of 3-methylthio-1,2,4-triazin-5(4H)-one ( 1a ) with sodium borohydride afforded 3-methylthio-1,6-dihydrotriazin-5(4H)-one ( 2b ) selectively. 3-Methylthio-6-t-butyl-1,2,4-triazin-5(4H)-one ( 1d ) reacted with sodium borohydride to give mainly 6-t-butyl-2,3-dihydro-1,2,4-triazin-5(4H)-one ( 3d ). The reaction of various 4-methyl-1,2,4-triazin-5(4H)-ones with sodium borohydride and the influence of bulkiness and electronic effect of the substituents at the 3- and 6-positions upon the product ratio, are also discussed.     

Complexes of 4- and 5-bromo derivatives of 2-(hydroxymethyl)pyridine with copper(II) and cobalt(II) salts. Synthesis and X-ray crystal structures

Four copper(II) complexes (1–4) and a cobalt(II) complex (5) derived from 4-bromo-2-(hydroxymethyl)pyridine (L¹) or 5-bromo-2-hydroxymethyl)pyridine (L²) with Cu(NO₃)₂·3H₂O, CuCl₂·2H₂O and CoCl₂·6H₂O have been synthesized and their respective crystal structures studied. They show specific influences owing to the different kind of metal cations and counter anions, the hydration as well as the different position of the bromine substitution on both the coordination of the complex unit and the network structure of the crystal lattice. The Cu(II) complexes of L¹ are five-coordinate [Cu(L¹)₂NO₃]NO₃·H₂O (1) and [Cu(L¹)₂Cl]Cl·H₂O (2) species with distorted quadratic pyramidal and trigonal bipyramidal coordination geometries of the N₂O₃ and N₂O₂Cl donor atoms around the Cu(II), respectively. The Cu(II) complexes of L² are six-coordinate [Cu(L²)₂(NO₃)₂] (3) and [Cu(L²)₂Cl(H₂O)]Cl·H₂O (4) species with distorted octahedral coordination geometries of the N₄O₂ and N₂O₃Cl donor atoms. A distorted octahedral coordination geometry of the N₂O₂Cl₂ donor atoms is also found in the complex unit [Co(L²)₂Cl₂] of the Co(II) complex 5 but showing the oxygen atoms of the chelating ligand as well as the chloride ions in a cis-position. Depending on the complex, water molecules and chloride anions are shown to act as stabilizing components of the crystal structure. The comparative structural investigation includes also known structures of the bromine-free ligand analogue 2-(hydroxymethyl)pyridine, illustrating the basic implication of the bromine substitution, mostly perceptible in the different modes of crystal packing.     

The reaction of O(1D) with H2O and the reaction of OH with C3H6

N₂O was photolyzed at 2139 Å to produce O(¹D) atoms in the presence of H₂O and CO. The O(¹D) atoms react with H₂O to produce HO radicals, as measured by CO₂ production from the reaction of OH with CO. The relative importance of the various possible O(¹D )–H₂O reactions is The relative rate constant for O(¹D) removal by H₂O compared to that by N₂O is 2.1, in good agreement with that found earlier in our laboratory. In the presence Of C₃H₆, the OH can be removed by reaction with either CO or C₃H₆: From the CO₂ yield, k₃/k₂ = 75,0 at 100°C and 55.0 at 200°C to within ± 10%. When these values are combined with the value of k₂ = 7.0 × 10^?13exp (–1100/RT) cm³/sec, k₃ = 1.36 × 10^?11 exp (–100/RT) cm³/sec. At 25°C, k₃ extrapolates to 1.1 × 10^?11 cm³/sec.     

Synthesis of 1H-indol-2-yl-(4-aryl)-quinolin-2(1H)-ones via Pd-catalyzed regioselective cross-coupling reaction and cyclization

An efficient and novel route for the synthesis of 1H-indol-2-yl-(4-aryl)-quinolin-2(1H)-one 1 via palladium-catalyzed site-selective cross-coupling reaction and cyclization process was described. Reaction of 3-bromo-4-trifloxy-quinolin-2(1H)-one 3 with arylboronic acid catalyzed by PdCl₂(PPh₃)₂ afforded 3-bromo-4-aryl-quinolin-2(1H)-one 4, which then reacted with 2-ethynylaniline 5 via Pd-catalyzed Sonogashira coupling and CuI-mediated cyclization leading to the desired 1H-indol-2-yl-(4-aryl)-quinolin-2(1H)-one 1 in good yields.     

Magnetische Untersuchungen an Komplexen von La(III), Pr(III) und Nd(III) mitSchiffschen Basen

Specific magnetic susceptibilities (_s) of several newly synthesized chelates of some of the lanthanons [La(III), Pr(III) and Nd(III)] are reported. These derivatives are of the general type,Ln(O-i-C₃H₇)_3–n (C₆H₅CHNRO) _n [where,Ln=La(III), Pr(III) or Nd(III);n=1 or 2 and R=CH₂CH₂, CH₂CHCH₃ or C₆H₄] and have been prepared by the reaction of the alkoxides of the lanthanons withSchiff bases such as benzylidene-2-hydroxyethylamine (C₆H₅CHNCH₂CH₂OH), benzylidene-2-hydroxy-n-propylamine (C₆H₅CHNCH₂CHOHCH₃) and benzylidene-o-aminophenol (C₆H₅CHNC₆H₄OH) in different molar relations in dry benzene.The resulting crystalline derivatives are non-volatile, light to deep yellow or blackish in colour. These tend to polymerize on keeping as shown by their insoluble nature and higher melting points, the polymerisation possibly occurring by the intermolecular coordination through oxygen atoms as reported earlier¹.UsingGouy method², the bis-isopropoxy mono-Schiff base and mono-isopropoxy bis-Schiff base complexes of La(III) have been shown to be diamagnetic, with _s values being in the range of –0.32 to –0.45×10^–6 and –0.39 to –0.55×10^–6 c.g.s. units at 305 K respectively.In the remaining derivatives, Pr(O-i-C₃H₇)_3–n (C₆H₅CH NRO) _n and Nd(O-i-C₃H₇)_3–n (C₆H₅CHNRO) _n (where,n=1 or 2 and R=CH₂CH₂, CH₂CHCH₃ or C₆H₄) the magnetic moment values range between 3.25 to 3.32 and 3.30 to 3.33 _B respectively indicating their paramagnetic nature.     

Formation of pyridin-4(1H)-one versus 1H-azepin-4(7H)-one by treatment of 4-tert-butyldimethylsilyloxy-2-amino-1-aza-bicyclo[4.1.0]hept-3-enes with tetrabutylammonium fluoride

Cycloadducts 3 and 4 were treated with tetrabutylammonium fluoride and rapidly suffer cleavage on the three-membered ring to form either pyridin-4(1H)-one or 1H-azepin-4(7H)-one. When R¹ is an oxycarbonyl or a 2-pyridyl group and R² is a negative charge-stabilizing group (cases 3a,b and 4f) the C-C bond cleaves forming products 5. However, when R²=H (case 3c) the ring expands to seven members. When R¹ is an acyl group the pyridin-4(1H)-one formation includes an unexpected shift of the carbonyl group.     

2(H)-1,4-Oxazin-2-ones as ambident azadienes

3,5-Dichloro-6-phenyl-2(H)-1,4-oxazin-2-one 3, 5-chloro-3,6-dimethyl-2(H)-1,4-oxazin-2-one 4, 5-chloro-6-methyl-3-phenyl-2(H)-1,4-oxazin-2-one 5 and 5-chloro-3,6-diphenyl-2(H)-1,4-oxazin-2-one 7, are ambident azadienes reacting efficiently and selectively with both electron rich and electron poor dienophiles.
