Novel syntheses of hexahydropyrimidines and tetrahydroquinazolines

1-Benzotriazolylmethyl-3-propylhexahydropyrimidine (1) and 1,3-bis(1H-1,2,3-benzotriazol-1-ylmethyl)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinazoline (3) were readily prepared by reactions of N-propyl-1,3-propanediamine or 2-aminobenzylamine with benzotriazole and formaldehyde, respectively. Intermediate 1 reacted with alkyl and aryl Grignard reagents to produce N,N'-unsymmetrically substituted hexahydropyrimidines 2a,b in 90 and 92% yields, respectively. Nucleophilic substitutions of 3 with Grignard reagents, allylsilane, and triethyl phosphite gave N,N'-disubstituted 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinazolines 4a-f, 5, and 6 in good to excellent yields. Successive treatment of 3 with two different Grignard reagents in one-pot reaction led regiospecifically to N,N'-unsymmetrically substituted tetrahydroquinazoline derivatives 8a,b.

Functionalized Macroreticular Resins as Effective and Selective Traps for Gaseous Tobacco Smoke Components

Macroreticular polystyrene resins with polyamine functions and copper (n) ions in chelated form were synthesized and their abilities to selectively remove hydrogen cyanide and volatile aldehydes from tobacco smoke were determined. Up to 80 and 40% reduction was observed. The functionalized fixed-pore macroreticular resins were more efficient than their solvent-swellable “popcorn” counterparts in the removal of these gas-phase components of smoke.

Synthesis, spectral and electrochemical studies of Cu(II) and Ni(II) complexes with new N2O2 ligands: a new precursor capable of depositing copper nanoparticles using thermal reduction

Cu(II) and Ni(II) complexes of the general type [M(N2O2)] are described. The N2O2 ligands used are [N,N'-bis(2-hydroxy-6-methoxybenzylidene)propane-1,3-diamine] (HOMeSalpn) and [N,N'-bis(2-hydroxy-6-methoxybenzylidene)propane-1,2-diamine (HOMeSalpr). These complexes have been characterized by IR, UV-vis, CV, TG-DTA and 1H NMR spectroscopy. The electrochemical behavior of these complexes at a glassy carbon electrode in acetonitrile solution indicates that the first reduction process corresponding to Cu(II)-Cu(I) and Ni(II)-Ni(I) is electrochemically irreversible. The new copper complexes have been applied for the preparation of copper nanoparticles using non-ionic surfactant (Triton X-100) by thermal reduction. The copper nanoparticles with average size of 48nm were formed by thermal reduction of [N,N'-bis(2-hydroxy-6-methoxybenzylidene)propane-1,3-diamine]copper(II) in the presence of triphenylphosphine thus releasing the reduced copper and affording the high-purity copper nanoparticles.     

Highly Stereoselective Synthesis of New Aziridines via Baldwin Rearrangement and Their Potential Biological Activities

An atom‐economical conversion of N‐ substituted isoxazoline derivatives to new N‐ substituted aziridines has been described using microwave irradiation through Baldwin rearrangement. N‐ substituted isoxazoline derivatives have been synthesized using a variety of nitrones and alkynes via 1,3‐dipolar cycloaddition reactions in ionic liquid. Simple react\ion methodology, greener approaches, non involvent of catalysts, good to excellent yields, and cis diastereoselectivities are the important features noticed in this synthesis. Potential biological activity of the new aziridine derivatives made this protocol more attractive.     

Analysis of the effects of N-substituents on some aspects of the aromaticity of imidazoles and pyrazoles

The influence of the N-substituent on the aromaticity of azoles is a subject that has not yet been addressed in detail, in contrast to the good understanding of the corresponding C-substitution. In the present work, we analyze the aromaticities of a series of 1,2- and 1,3-azoles (pyrazoles and imidazoles, respectively) with the N-substituents NH(2), OH, Cl, SH, H, NO(2), CN, SO(2)F, SO(2)CF(3), and N(SO(2)CF(3))(2), which are also compared with the aromaticities of the corresponding substituted benzene series. The larger stabilitiy of the imidazole ring is due not to a higher aromaticity, but rather to the weakness of the N-N bond in the pyrazole series. The aromaticity of azoles was found to be significantly less robust to N-substitutions than that of their C-substituted benzene counterparts.

The novel spiro cycloadducts found to exhibit good synthetic potentiality as they could be converted into synthetically more important spiro 1,3‐amino alcohols. Simple reaction methodology, noninvolvent of catalysts, good to excellent yields, and greener approaches are the important features noticed in this syntheses.

Stereoselective Synthesis of Functionalized 1,3-Enynes through Recyclable Copper(I)-Catalyzed Three-Component Reaction of Terminal Alkynes,Diazoesters and Aldehydes

A highly efficient heterogeneous copper(I)-catalyzed three-component coupling of terminal alkynes, diazoesters and aldehydes has been achieved by using 10 mol% of copper(I) iodide complex [N,N-CuI-MCM-41] anchored on 2-aminoethylamino-modified mesoporous material MCM-41 as the catalyst under mild conditions, delivering a wide variety of 2-alkoxycarbonyl-substituted (E)-1,3-enynes in mostly good to high yields with excellent stereoselectivity. The heterogenized copper(I) complex can be facilely prepared from inexpensive reagents by using a simple procedure and exhibits a remarkably higher catalytic activity than CuI, and can be recycled more than ten times without a significant drop in its catalytic efficiency. This protocol represents the first example of heterogeneous copper-catalyzed stereoselective construction of functionalized 1,3-enynes from simple and commercially available starting materials.     

Tunable protic ionic liquids as solvent-catalysts for improved synthesis of multiply substituted 1,2,4-triazoles from oxadiazoles and organoamines

More than green alternatives to traditional volatile molecular organic solvents, protic ionic liquids as dual solvent-catalysts have been successfully used to promote reactions of organoamines with oxadiazoles to afford sterically hindered 1,2,4-triazoles. Among the tested protic ionic liquids, pyridinium trifluoroacetate and acetate showed the highest efficiency for the reactions of arylamines and alkylamines, respectively, indicating that tunable catalysis could be readily effected with protic ionic liquid solvent-catalysts by simply tuning their cation and anion counterparts. A general and efficient approach has been developed for synthesis of multiply substituted 1,2,4-triazoles based on the tunable protic ionic liquid solvent-catalyst systems.     

Ab initio study of sphere-like mesogen properties

Sphere-like compound C8H17Si(OPhC12H25)3N (1) forms mesophases. In order to investigate the relationship between molecular structure and liquid crystal properties, structural studies are carried out on the model molecules of compound 1 and its substituted derivatives using ah initio calculations. The results show that the cyano or chloro substituted tribenzosilatrane compounds R1Si(OPhR2 )3N (R1 R2 = CN or Cl) have much bigger dipole moments or anisotropy of polarizability and more like sphere than the corresponding alkyl substituted compounds. Cyano or chloro substituted tribenzosilatranes would be better candidates for sphere-like meso-gens.     

New metal chelates of 5-amino-4-azopyrazoles: The crystal and molecular structure of bis{1-phenyl-3-methyl-4-(<Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis>-tolyl)azo-5-(<Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis>-carboxymethoxyphenyl)pyrazolamidato}copper(II)

The reactions of 1,3-alkyl(aryl) derivatives of 5-amino-4-azopyrazoles (HL) with copper(2+) acetate afford metal chelates CuL₂. Complexes with the CuN₄ chromophore containing a substituted amino group (X = NR) as a donor, like their azomethine analogues, have a pseudotetrahedral structure. Copper chelates with X = NH are planar. The X-ray diffraction data and an additional hyperfine structure (ahfs) from ¹⁵N atoms of the azo group in the labeled complexes provide evidence for the formation of six-membered metallocycles. The coordination polyhedron in bis{1-phenyl-3-methyl-4-(p-tolyl)azo-5-(p-carboxymethoxyphenyl)pyrazolamidato}Cu(II) can be described as a pseudotetrahedron.     

Copper Catalyzed C−H Activation

Activation of C?H bonds and their application in cross coupling chemistry has received a wider interest in recent years. The conventional strategy in cross coupling reaction involves the pre‐functionalization step of coupling reactants such as organic halides, pseudo‐halides and organometallic reagents. The C?H activation facilitates a simple and straight forward approach devoid of pre‐functionalization step. This approach also addresses the environmental and economical issues involved in several chemical reactions. In this account, we have reported C?H bond activation of small organic molecules, for example, formamide C?H bond can be activated and coupled with β‐dicarbonyl or 2‐carbonyl substituted phenols under oxidative conditions to yield carbamates using inexpensive copper catalysts. Phenyl carbamates were successfully synthesized in moderate to good yields by cross dehydrogenative coupling (CDC) of phenols with formamides using copper catalysts in presence of a ligand. We have also prepared unsymmetrical urea derivatives by oxidative cross coupling of formamides with amines using copper catalysts. Synthesis of N,N‐dimethyl substituted amides, 5‐substituted‐γ‐lactams and α‐acyloxy ethers was carried out from carboxylic acids using recyclable CuO nanoparticles. Copper nanoparticles afforded N‐aryl‐γ‐amino‐γ‐lactams by oxidative coupling of aromatic amines with 2‐pyrrolidinone. Reusable transition metal HT‐derived oxide catalyst was used for the synthesis of N,N‐dimethyl substituted amides by the oxidative cross‐coupling of carboxylic acids and substituted benzaldehydes. Overview of our work in this area is summarized.     

Synthesis of Some Novel S- and N,S-Substituted Chlorobutadienes

Abstract

Mono(thio)substituted nitrodienes were synthesized by reactions of 2-nitro-pentachloro-1,3-butadiene with some thiols [(tert-butylbenzyl)thio- and 2,3,5,6-tetra-fluorophenylthio-] either directly or in ethanol in the presence of sodium hydroxide. N,S-Substituted 1,3-butadienes were obtained from the reaction of the mono(thio)substituted nitrodienes with morpholine and some piperazine derivatives in dichloromethane. Also mono- and di(thio)substituted perchlorobutadienes were synthesized from the reactions of hexachloro-1,3-butadiene with o-aminothiophenol in ethanol in the presence of sodium hydroxide. The structures of the new compounds were characterized by microanalysis and spectroscopic data.     

Synthesis of 2',4'-propylene-bridged (carba-ENA) thymidine and its analogues: the engineering of electrostatic and steric effects at the bottom of the minor groove for nuclease and thermodynamic stabilities and elicitation of RNase H

2',4'-Propylene-bridged thymidine (carba-ENA-T) and five 8'-Me/NH(2)/OH modified carba-ENA-T analogues have been prepared through intramolecular radical addition to C═N of the tethered oxime-ether. These carba-ENA nucleosides have been subsequently incorporated into 15mer oligodeoxynucleotides (AON), and their affinity toward cDNA and RNA, nuclease resistance, and RNase H recruitment capability have been investigated in comparison with those of the native and ENA counterparts. These carba-ENAs modified AONs are highly RNA-selective since all of them led to slight thermal stabilization effect for the AON:RNA duplex, but quite large destabilization effect for the AON:DNA duplex. It was found that different C8' substituents (at the bottom of the minor groove) on carba-ENA-T only led to rather small variation of thermal stability of the AON:RNA duplexes. We, however, observed that the parent carba-ENA-T modified AONs exhibited higher nucleolytic stability than those of the ENA-T modified counterparts. The nucleolytic stability of carba-ENA-T modified AONs can be further modulated by C8' substituent to variable extents depending on not only the chemical nature but also the stereochemical orientation of the C8' substituents: Thus, (1) 8'S-Me on carba-ENA increases the nucleolytic stability but 8'R-Me leads to a decreased effect; (2) 8'R-OH on carba-ENA had little, if any, effect on nuclease resistance but 8'S-OH resulted in significantly decreased nucleolytic stability; and (3) 8'-NH(2) substituted carba-ENA leads to obvious loss in the nuclease resistance. The RNA strand in all of the carba-ENA derivatives modified AON:RNA hybrid duplexes can be digested by RNase H1 with high efficiency, even at twice the rate of those of the native and ENA modified counterpart.     

Regioselective synthesis of 1,2,3-triazolyl derivatives of calix[4]arenes based on 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition

Regioselective synthesis of 1,2,3-triazolyl derivatives of calix[4]arenes based on the 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of substituted benzyl azides to tetra(propargyloxy)calix[4]arenes in the presence of copper iodide was carried out. The presence of the p-methoxybenzyl substituent in the triazole ring leads to a dramatic (more than tenfold) increase in the fluorescence of the corresponding macrocycle in a region of 290–310 nm.     

Lanthanide Compounds with SCHIFF Bases and with Copper(II) SCHIFF Base Complexes as Ligands

Lanthanide adducts with N,N′-bis(salicylidene)-1,3-propylendiamine and N,N′-bis(salicylidene)-1,3-propylendiamine-2-olo have been prepared. It is noted that the molecules, and not anions, of the SCHIFF bases are coordinated with the metal ion. Bi- and trinuclear lanthanide complexes with the “complex ligand”, N,N′-1,3-propylen-bis-(salicylideniminato)copper(II), coordinating as a bidentate ligand, have also been isolated. The compounds have been characterized by elemental analyses, molar conductance, electronic and infrared spectra. Possible structures for the complexes have been proposed.
