Reduction of (E)-3-aryl-2-(4-arylthiazol-2-yl)acrylonitriles with lithium aluminum hydride in dry ether afforded (Z)-1-amino-3-aryl-2-(thiazol-2-yl)prop-1-ene derivatives in 15 to 40% yields. The structure of (Z)-1-amino-3-(2-chlorophenyl)-2-[4-(4-methylphenyl)thiazol-2-yl]prop-1-ene was confirmed by X-ray diffraction analysis. Dedicated to Academician N. K.

Reaction of 2-(2-Azahetaryl)-4-chloro-3-oxobutyronitriles with Substituted Benzaldehyde Hydrazones. Unexpected Formation of 4-Arylideneamino-2-(1-R-benzimidazol-2-yl)-3-oxobutyronitriles

The reaction of 2-(2-azahetaryl)-3-oxo-4-chlorobutyronitriles with substituted benzaldehyde hydrazones gives 4-arylideneamino-2-(1-R-benzimidazol-2-yl)-3-oxobutyronitriles, the structures of which were proved using spectroscopic data, the results of elemental analysis, and through their chemical reactions. It was found that the reaction course depends on the basicity of the heterocyclic fragment in the starting nitrile. A likely mechanism for the process is proposed.     

Preparation of 3-Aryl-4-(5-ARYL-Δ2-1,2,4-Oxadiazolin-3-YL)Sydnones and their Conversion into 3-ARYL-4-(5-ARYL-1,2,4-Oxadiazol-3-YL)Sydnones

3-Aryl-4-(5-aryl-Δ²-1,2,4-oxadiazolin-3-yl)sydnones (5) were synthesized in high yields by the reaction of 3-arylsydnone-4-carboxamide oximes (prepared from the corresponding 3-arylsydnone-4-carbonitriles) with aromatic aldehydes in the presence of acid catalysts. No reaction occurred when aliphatic aldehydes were used. The oxadiazolin-3-ylsydnones (5) were easily converted into the corresponding 3-aryl-4-(5-aryl-1,2,4-oxadiazol-3-yl)sydnones by N-bromosuccinimide oxidation. The 3-arylsydnone-4-carbonitrile oxides were synthesized in good yields by N-bromosuccinimide oxidation of the corresponding 3-arylsydnone-4-carboxaldehyde oximes.     

Synthesis and Properties of 6,7,8-Substituted 2-(4-Oxo-3,4-dihydro-2-quinazolinyl)acetonitriles

2-(4-Oxo-3,4-dihydro-2-quinazolinyl)acetonitriles have been obtained by the interaction of -cyanoethylthioiminoacetate with substituted anthranilic acids. Prototropy became apparent in the series of synthesized compounds. Reactions of the 2-(4-oxo-3,4-dihydro-2-quinazolinyl)acetonitriles have been carried out with (hetero)aromatic aldehydes leading to the formation of 3-aryl-2-(4-oxo-3,4-dihydro-2-quinazolinyl)acrylonitriles.     

The Synthesis and Reactions of N-Hydroxy-3-Arylsydnone-4-Carboxamide Oximes

N-Hydroxy-3-arylsydnone-4-carboxamide oximes (7) were prepared from the corresponding 3-arylsydnone-4-carbohydroximic acid chlorides (6) and hydroxylamine in high yield. The chemical reactivity of compound (2) is somewhat different from 3-arylsydnone-4-carboxamide oximes (2) in that the former compounds reacted with both aromatic and aliphatic aldehydes in the presence of acid catalyst to give 3-aryl-4-(5-aryl-1,2,4-oxadiazol-3-yl)sydnones (5) and 3-aryl-4-(5-alkyl-1,2,4-oxadiazol-3-yl)sydnones (3).     

Efficient,Stereoselective Approach to the Synthesis of 3-(1-Phenyl-2-(Z-styrylsulfonyl)-1H-imidazol-4-yl)-2H-chromen-2-ones

Reaction of phenyl acetylene with 3-(1-aryl-2-mercapto-4-imidazolyl)-2H-1-benzopyran-2-ones (4) in the presence of sodium hydroxide in absolute ethanol led to the formation of 3-(1-phenyl-2-(Z-styrylthio)-1H-imidazol-4-yl)-2H-chromen-2-ones (6) in excellent yields. These, on further oxidation with H₂O₂/AcOH, gave the corresponding sulfones (7) with retention of stereochemistry.

Differences shown by the oxadiazoline and the oxadiazole rings and the substitution effects are discussed.     

Molecular Rectangle Formed by Head-to-tail Self-Assembly of 1-(Dipyrrin-2-yl)-1-(dipyrrin-3-yl)methane

Summary. 1-(Dipyrrin-2-yl)-1-(dipyrrin-3-yl)methane, the N-confused analog of biladiene-ac, is prepared by condensation of 2,3-dipyrromethane with two molecules of 2-formylpyrrole in dichloromethane in the presence of hydrogen bromide. Self-assembly of the ligand with Zn(II) in dichloromethane and methanol offers a dinuclear dimeric complex with a ligand:metal ratio of 2:2. X-Ray crystal structure analysis reveals two ligands bound through a head-to-tail pattern to two zinc centers to form a severely distorted helical conformation, which has the shape of a rectangle.

Synthesis of novel 3-(1,3-thiazol-2-yl)-7,8-dihydroquinoline-2,5(1H,6H)-diones

An efficient method for the synthesis of novel 3-(1,3-thiazol-2-yl)-7,8-dihydroquinoline-2,5(1H,6H)-diones from various 2-dimethylaminomethylidenecyclohexane-1,3-diones, (1,3-thiazol-2-yl)acetonitriles, and dimethylformamide dimethyl acetal was developed. These transformations proceeded through intermediate 2-[2-(4-aryl-1,3-thiazol-2-yl)-2-cyanoethenyl]-3-oxocyclohex-1-en-1-olates. They were isolated as piperidinium salts and used in further heterocyclization reactions with aromatic amines, giving novel 1-aryl-3-(1,3-thiazol-2-yl)-7,8-dihydroquinoline-2,5(1H,6H)-diones. These compounds were also obtained by preparative three-step “one pot” synthesis under controlled microwave irradiation. Published in Russian in Izvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Novel Aspects of the Reaction of 3-(Benzimidazol-2-yl)-2-iminocoumarins with Aromatic Aldehydes

The reaction of 3-(benzimidazol-2-yl)-2-iminocoumarins with aromatic aldehydes has been studied. The condensation products 7-aryl-7H-benzo[4,5]imidazo[1,2-c]benzopyrano[3,2-e]pyrimidines or 3-(benzimidazol-2-yl)coumarins are formed depending on the nature of the substituent in the starting 2-iminocoumarin and aldehyde. In DMF medium, 7-aryl-7H-benzo[4,5]imidazo[1,2-c]benzopyrano[3,2-e]pyrimidines isomerize to the corresponding 7-aryl-14H-benzo[4,5]imidazo[1,2-c]benzopyrano[3,2-e]pyrimidines. The effect of the substituent on the isomerization process has been studied and the reaction mechanisms are discussed.     

The 1,3-Dipolar Cycloadditions of 3-Arylsydnone-4-Carbonitrile Oxides with Nitriles

3-Arylsydnone-4-carbonitrile oxides (2), which are generated in situ by thermal dehydrochlorination of the corresponding hydroximic acid chlorides (1), undergo 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions with sydnone-4-carbonitriles (6) to give 3-aryl-4-[5-(3-arylsydnonyl)-1,2, 4-oxadiazol-3-yl] sydnones (9). These nitrile oxides (2) also react with alkyl- and arylnitriles to give 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition products.     

One-pot palladium-catalyzed C-I and C-H bond activation and subsequent Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling of 2-aryl-3-iodo-4-(phenylamino)quinolines with arylboronic acids

The 2-aryl-3-iodo-4-(phenylamino)quinolines undergo one-pot palladium-mediated C-I and C-H bond activation and subsequent Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling with arylboronic acids under anhydrous conditions to afford mixture of 2,3-diaryl-4-(phenylamino)quinolines (minor) and 2-aryl-4-([(1,1′-biaryl)-2-yl]amino)quinoline derivatives (major). The 2,3-diaryl-4-(phenylamino)quinolines were isolated as major products when 2 M K₂CO₃ was used as a base. A plausible mechanism, which implicates a six-membered palladacycle intermediate is proposed for the formation of the observed mixture of products. The prepared compounds were characterized using a combination of spectroscopic and X-ray crystallographic techniques.     

Formation of new 4-isocyanobut-2-enenitriles by thermal ring cleavage of 3-pyridyl azides

A new thermal ring cleavage of 3-pyridyl nitrenes for the formation of 4-isocyanobut-2-enenitrile products is reported. Thermolysis of 4-(thien-3-yl)-3-pyridyl azide 1 and 3-azido-4-(1-TIPS-1H-pyrrol-3-yl)pyridine 5 afforded two new isonitrile-nitrile products by ring cleavage; 4-isocyano-2-(thiophen-3-yl)but-2-enenitrile (3, 27%) and 4-isocyano-2-(1-TIPS-1H-pyrrol-3-yl)but-2-enenitrile (7, 20%), in addition to our previously reported pyrido[3,4-b]thienopyrrole (2, 29%) and pyrido[3,4-b]pyrrolo[3,2-d]pyrrole (6, 71%) products. Minor amounts of 2-(thien-3-yl)-1H-pyrrole-3-carbonitrile (4, 6%), formed by ring contraction, were also isolated after thermolysis of azide 1. Isonitriles 3 and 7 underwent degradation into amine 3b and formamide 7a by acidic hydrolysis. The nature and chemistry of compounds 3, 4 and 7 were investigated.

4-(3-Cyanopyridin-2-ylthio)acetoacetates in synthesis of heterocycles

Substituted 2-amino-4-aryl-3-cyano-5-oxo-5,6-dihydro-4H-pyrano[2,3-d]pyrido[3",2":4,5]thieno[3,2-b]pyridines were synthesized by the reactions of 4-hydroxy-1H-thieno[2,3-b;4,5-b]dipyridin-2-ones with arylidenemalononitriles or by the three-component reactions of hydroxythienodipyridinones with aldehydes and malononitrile in DMF in the presence of triethylamine. Methods for syntheses of substituted 3-alkoxycarbonyl-6-amino-4-aryl-2-(3-cyanopyridin-2-ylthiomethyl)-4H-pyrans were developed on the basis of the reactions of 4-(3-cyanopyridin-2-ylthio)acetoacetates and arylidenemalononitriles or aldehydes and malononitrile. Ethyl 4-(3-cyanopyridin-2-ylthio)acetoacetate and 4-methoxybenzylidenecyanothioacetamide were used for the synthesis of 6-(pyridin-2-ylthiomethyl)-3-cyanopyridine-2(1H)-thione.
