Azaindole derivatives. 60. Nucleophilic substitution reactions in 6-chloro-5-azaindolines

Reactions involving nucleophilic substitution of the halogen atoms in 1-benzyl-6-chloro-7-cyano-5-azaindoline by alkoxy groups and residues of various amines were investigated. The effect of electron-acceptor substituents on the saponification of the alkoxy groups to give hydroxy groups is demonstrated. The effect of the character of the fusion of the pyridine and pyrrole rings on the ease of nucleophilic substitution is examined.See [1] for Communication 59.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 12, pp. 1648–1653, December, 1981.     

Synthesis and structure of amino esters of menthol

The conditions for the acylation of (–)-menthol with monochloroacetyl chloride have been studied.

Reactions of nucleophilic substitution involving solid organic halogen compounds under shear deformation at high pressure

Under conditions of shear deformation and high pressures (SD+HP), reactions of nucleophilic substitution were studied: 1) the replacement of aliphatic halogen atom with alkaline metal halides (halo-substituted aliphatic carboxylic acids, 1-bromoadamantane); 2) the replacement of halogen atom in aromatic nucleus (halobenzoic acids, dihalobenzenes) with halogen of salt; 3) the replacement of aliphatic halogen with hydroxyl (hydrolysis in a solid phase); 4) the replacement of halogen with amino group under deformation of the samples of ammonium -halocarboxylates to give the corresponding amino acids. It was found that the exchange of the halogen atoms bonded with aliphatic carbon is most intensive in the mixtures of alkaline metal iodides with bromo-substituted acetic and propionic acids: the exchange reaction in these mixtures is observed even during grinding in the mortar. Unlike the liquid phase, under conditions of SD+HP exchange of the halogen atom of the aromatic nucleus with alkaline metal halides, proceeds successfully, and the reactivity of halides increases in the series Na < K < Rb < Cs. Under SD+HP, 1-Br-adamantane reacts with water to form 1-adamantanol. A high reactivity of the water adsorbed by the reagents is observed.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Nickel‐catalyzed three‐component coupling reaction of terminal alkynes,dihalomethane and amines to propargylamines

Direct C―H and C―halogen activation is an important and practical task in C―C, C―N bond formation reactions using alkynes. Propargylic amines are synthetically versatile intermediates for the preparation of many nitrogen‐containing biologically active motifs. Herein, a 15 mol% Ni(py)₄Cl₂/bipyridine‐catalyzed three‐component coupling reaction of alkynes, halomethane and amines through C―H and C―halogen activation was developed for the facile synthesis of propargylic amines. Tetramethylguanidine shows excellent basicity in acetonitrile and works under mild conditions. The reaction has very good functional group tolerance to aliphatic and aromatic alkynes.

Study of the nucleophilic substitution reactions of 2,4,10-trichloropyrimido[5,4-b]quinoline

A number of pyrimido[5,4-b]quinoline derivatives were synthesized. It is shown that in the reaction of 2,4,10-trichloropyrimido[5,4-b]quinoline (II) with strong nucleophilic reagents (OCH₃ and SH) both of the halogens of the pyrimidine ring are replaced, while with amines substitution of the halogens of the pyrimidine ring proceeds successively; under more severe conditions, all three halogen atoms of II are replaced by amine residues.     

Synthesis of 3-arylaminoindazoles

3-Chloro(bromo)indazoles do not react with aromatic amines even under severe conditions. It was found that the hydrochlorides (hydrobromides) of aromatic amines catalyze the exchange of a halogen atom by an arylamino group.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 2, pp. 249–251, February, 1973.     

Reaction of 2-arylazobenzimidazolium quaternary salts with amines

Different behaviors of aromatic and nonaromatic amines with respect to a change in the structure of the salt and variations in the reaction conditions were revealed in a study of the reaction of 2-arylazobenzimidazolium quaternary salts with amines. Aliphatic and secondary cyclic amines react at comparable rates via pathways involving cleavage of the azo group and replacement of the hydrogen in the para position relative to the azo group. The reaction with aromatic amines proceeds primarily via the amination pathway, and a methyl group in the meta position relative to the azo group facilitates replacement of the hydrogen atom significantly.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 6, pp. 817–824, June, 1982.     

Special features of the nucleophilic substitution of halogen in alkyl and benzyl halides with anions generated from 4-hydroxy-2-mercapto-6-methylpyrimidine

The nucleophilic substitution of halogen (chlorine, bromine, and iodine) in alkyl and benzyl halides has been effected in aqueous dioxane media with S-and O-anions generated from 4-hydroxy-2-mercapto-6-methylpyrimidine. Under these conditions replacement of halogen proceeds by an S_N2 mechanism and the reactivity of S-anions is 10 times greater than that of O-anions, which is in agreement with the results of ab initio quantum-chemical calculations of the electronic structure and total energy of transition states, carried out within the framework of the restricted Hartree-Fock method, basis 6-31G**. __________ Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 6, pp. 874–883, June, 2008.     

A novel and convenient route to ring-opened poly(ferrocenylsilanes) with alkoxy,aryloxy, and amino substituents at silicon

A novel and convenient route to the first poly(ferrocenylsilanes) with alkoxy, aryloxy, and amino substituents at silicon is reported. The reaction sequence involves (i) unexpectedly facile and clean halogen replacement at the bridging atom of a readily accessible dichlorosilyl-bridged [1]ferrocenophane by OR, OAr, and NR₂ groups via reactions with aliphatic and aromatic alcohols and amines in the presence of an HCl acceptor and (ii) thermal or transition metal catalyzed ring-opening polymerization of the new ferrocenophane.     

Synthesis of some substituted guanidinopyrimidines and their structural assignment by 13C and 1H NMR

A series of substituted 2- and 4-guanidinopyrimidines were prepared by reaction of halopyrimidines with guanidine; alkylamino and amino substituents were introduced by subsequent halogen replacement by primary amines or ammonia or the catalytic reduction of nitro groups. Structural assignments were made on the basis of ¹³C and ¹H nmr. A guanidinopteridine and a bispyrimidinylguanidine were also synthesized. Some unsuccessful reactions illustrated the low nucleophilic reactivity and thermal instability of the guanidine group.     

Cyclometallation,part II. I.r. and1H N.m.r. studies of palladium(II) compounds with substitutedN-(benzylidene)amines

Summary New cyclometallated complexes of palladium containing substitutedN-(benzylidene)amines have been prepared and characterized. Palladium(II) acetate is used to make the acetato-bridged dimers, which undergo metathetical reactions to give the halo-bridged dimers. These when treated with PPh₃ or P(C₆H₁₁)₃ in a 12 molar ratio yield the phosphine monomers. I.r. and¹H n.m.r. studies show that palladium is coordinated through nitrogen, and also reveal the disposition of the halogen and phosphine ligands in the monomeric complexes.     

Detection of halogen bond formation by correlation of proton solvent shifts. 1. Haloforms in n-electron donor solvents

The solvent shifts of haloformic protons, (Cl₃CH, Br₃CH, I₃CH), have been measured in 24 n-electron donor solvents consisting of halogenated hydrocarbons, esters, ketones, ethers and amines. Deviations of Δ_Br and Δ₁ from linear dependence with Δ_Cl are indicative of the presence of halogen bond formation competitive with hydrogen bonding interactions. Bromoform interacts predominantly by hydrogen bonding, halogen bonding being detected to a small extent in chlorinated hydrocarbons and amines. Iodoform shows halogen bonding interactions which increase in relative importance to hydrogen bonding with solvent basicity. Halogen bonding is predominant for solutions of iodoform in amines.     

Synthesis of Densely Functionalised 5‐Halogen‐1,3‐oxazin‐2‐ones by Halogen‐Mediated Regioselective Cyclisation of N‐Cbz‐Protected Propargylic Amines: A Combined Experimental and Theoretical Study

A very efficient synthesis of 5‐halogen‐1,3‐oxazin‐2‐ones has been accomplished by the halocyclisation reaction of chiral nonracemic N‐carbobenzyloxy (N‐Cbz)‐protected propargylic amines by using I₂, Br₂ and Cl₂ as electrophile sources. The nature of the halogen influences the reaction time and yield. However, in all cases the reaction is totally regioselective taking place through a 6‐endo‐dig process regardless of the nature of the halogen and of the substituents in the starting material. To rationalise the experimental results, theoretical studies at the B3LYP/6‐311G* level have been performed.     

Studies in some new initiator systems for vinyl polymerization. III. Amine–halogen systems as redox initiators

Amine–halogen redox systems are very efficient initiators of polymerization of a number of vinyl monomers in benzene media and are rather inefficient initiators in aqueous media. A large number of aliphatic amines and a few aromatic amines have been used. Among the halogens, chlorine and bromine are very effective. Iodine initiates with a few amines only. Endgroups incorporated are halogen and amine totalling an average of nearly one per chain in the case of polymerization in benzene media and 0.5–0.7 per chain in polymerization in aqueous media. In the light of endgroup results, a mechanism of initiation through halogen and amine radicals has been suggested.     

Absorption,fluorescence, and photoinitiating properties of the aromatic ethers and aromatic amines complexes of cyclopentadienyliron

The aromatic ethers complexes of cyclopentadienyliron (O-CpFe) and aromatic amines complexes of cyclopentadienyliron (N-CpFe) were prepared by coupling several aniline derivatives and phenol derivatives with (η6-chlorobenzene) (η5-cyclopentadienyl) iron hexafluorophosphate through nucleophilic aromatic substitution reaction. The UV/vis absorption, fluorescence, and excitation spectra of the compounds were measured. The abilities of the photoinitiator in photopolymerizing the diglycidyl ether of the bisphenol-A epoxy oligomer under a halogen lamp were evaluated by near-infrared spectroscopy. The results show that the absorption of N-CpFe is higher than that of O-CpFe in the visible region. However, the photoinitiation ability of N-CpFe is lower than that of O-CpFe.

Heterocyclic nitro compounds

The kinetics of the reaction of 1-methyl-3-nitro-5-chloro-1,2,4-triazoles and 1-methyl-3-nitro-5-bromo-1,2,4-triazoles with hydroxide ions were studied. The reaction leads to replacement of the halogen or nitro group, and the ratio of the rates of substitution is 301. The mutual influence of the halogen and nitro group on the rate of substitution as a function of their position in the ring was examined.See [1] for communication XIV.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 6, pp. 848–851, June, 1972.

Halogen in positions 3 and 5 of the furan ring in ftirfurylidenedioxanediones is readily replaced by dithiocarbonate, dithiocarbatnate, dithiophosphate, thiocyanate, and azide anions, and by thiourea, and secondary and tertiary amines. The conformation of the initial halogen derivative is retained in the substitution products.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 3, pp. 327–334, March, 1994.     

A Theoretical Study of the Halogen Bond between Heteronuclear Halogen and Benzene

Halogen bonds play an important role in many fields, such as biological systems, drug design and crystal engineering. In this work, the structural characteristics of the halogen bond between heteronuclear halogen XD (ClF, BrCl, IBr, ICl, BrF and IF) and benzene were studied using density functional theory. The structures of the complexes between heteronuclear halogen and benzene have Cs symmetry. The interaction energies of the complexes between heteronuclear halogen XD (ClF, BrCl, IBr, ICl, BrF and IF) and benzene range from −27.80 to −37.18 kJ/mol, increasing with the increases in the polarity between the atoms of X and D, and are proportional to the angles of a between the Z axis and the covalent bond of heteronuclear halogen. The electron density (ρ) and corresponding Laplacian (∇²ρ) values indicate that the interaction of the heteronuclear halogen and benzene is a typical long-range weak interaction similar to a hydrogen bond. Independent gradient model analysis suggests that the van der Waals is the main interaction between the complexes of heteronuclear halogen and benzene. Symmetry-adapted perturbation theory analysis suggests that the electrostatic interaction is the dominant part in the complexes of C₆H₆⋯ClF, C₆H₆⋯ICl, C₆H₆⋯BrF and C₆H₆⋯IF, and the dispersion interaction is the main part in the complexes of C₆H₆⋯BrCl, C₆H₆⋯IBr.     

Synthesis and transformations of 2-(2-furyl)- and 2-[β-(2-furyl)vinyl] phenanthr [9,10]imidazoles

The corresponding 2-(2-furyl)- and 2-[-(2-furyl)vinyl] phenanthr[9,10]imidazoles were obtained by the condensation of 9,10 phenanthrenequinone with furfural, -(2-furyl)acrolein, and their 5-bromo and 5-nitro derivatives in the presence of ammonium acetate in glacial acetic acid. Their metallation, acetylation, nitration, and replacement of halogen by a nitro group were studied.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 8, pp. 1014–1016, August, 1971.
