Heterocyclic tautomerisms. II. An investigation of the 2-arylbenzothiazoline 2-(benzylideneamino)thiophenol tautomerism. Part 2

The reaction between 4-mercaptoaniline and various aromatic aldehydes was studied as a model system in order to determine which type of substitution on the aryl group in 2-arylbenzothiazolines (1) might give rise to the greatest possible stabilization of the hypothetical 2-(benzylideneamino)thiophenol tautomer (II). Regardless of electronic effect of substituents, most aldehydes reacted with 4-mercaptoaniline to form poly[4-(benzylideneamino)thiophenols] (III). Aromatic aldehydes substituted in the 2 position with the hydroxyl function reacted to form the stable, monomeric 4-(benzylideneamino)thiophenols (IV). This stabilization in the monomeric state is presumed to be due to the hydrogen-bonded nature of these compounds (V). Both monomeric and polymeric compounds reacted with benzalacetophenone in the presence of a basic catalyst in the manner to be expected of the 4-(benzylideneamino)thiophenol structure (IV) yielding correspondingly substituted 1,3-diphenyl-1-[4-(benzylideneamino)phenylthio]-3-propanones (VI).     

Mass-spectrometric study of the cyclization of diazo compounds. 9. 2-Diazo-2-cyanoacetamides

An analysis of the electron impact mass-spectra of 2-diazo-2-cyanoacetamides and the 4-cyano-5-hydroxy-1,2,3-triazoles isomeric to them, showed that the molecular ions of these compounds do not isomerize one into another. The diazo compounds decompose, undergoing a Wolff rearrangement. To study the fragmentation of the diazoamides, one can use the crystalline adducts of these diazo compounds with triphenylphosphine, and to study the fragmentation of the triazoles, their salts with aliphatic amines.See [1] for No. 8 in the series.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 10, pp. 1343–1349, October, 1986.     

2'-C-branched ribonucleosides. 2. Synthesis of 2'-C-beta-trifluoromethyl pyrimidine ribonucleosides

[structure: see text]. The first synthesis of 2'-C-beta-trifluoromethyl pyrimidine ribonucleosides is described. 1,2,3,5-Tetra-O-benzoyl-2-C-beta-trifluoromethyl-alpha-D-ribofuranose (3) is prepared from 1,3,5-tri-O-benzoyl-alpha-D-ribofuranose (1) in three steps and converted to 3,5-di-O-benzoyl-2-C-beta-trifluoromethyl-alpha-D-1-ribofuranosyl bromide (5). The 1-bromo derivative (5) is found to be a powerful reaction intermediate for the synthesis of ribonucleosides. The reaction of silylated pyrimidines with (5) in the presence of HgO/HgBr2 affords exclusively the beta-anomers (6-8). Deprotection of (6-8) with ammonia in methanol yields the 2'-C-beta-trifluoromethyl nucleosides (9-11).     

Modification of the Wiener Index. 2

A novel topological index based on the Wiener Index is proposed as W = 1/2, summation(n/ij)=S*(ij) the element S*(ij) of the distance matrix is defined either as S*(ij)= square root (E(i)E(j)/R(ij) (atoms i and j are adjacent) or as S*(ij)=(j-i+1)square root (E(i)...xE /R(ij) (atoms i and j are not adjacent), where E(i) and E(j) represent the total energy of the valence electrons of vertexes i and j, respectively, R(ij) is the sum of the distance between the vertexes i and j in a molecular graph. The distance and the energy of the vertexes in a molecule are taken into account in this definition. Hence the application of the index W to multiple bond and heteroatom-containing organic systems and inorganic systems is possible. Good correlation coefficients are achieved not only in the standard formation enthalpy of methyl halides, halogen-silicon, but also in the retention index of gas chromatography of the hydrocarbons.     

Polymerization of 2-Oxazolines. IV. The Structure and the Reactivity of 2-Substituted-2-oxazolines and Oxazolinium Perchlorates

Abstract

In order to elucidate the structure and the stability of the growing cationic end in the polymerization of 2-oxazolines, the reactions of 2-bromoethylbenzamide with silver salts such as silver perchlorate, tetrafluoroborate, nitrate, nitrite, cyanate, and acetate were investigated. The reactions with silver perchlorate and tetrafluoroborate gave the 2-phenyl-2-oxazolinium salt (intramolecular O-alkylation product) quantitatively, whereas the reaction with silver nitrate gave the corresponding alkyl nitrate (staight-chain product). For the reactions with silver nitrite, cyanate and acetate, both products were obtained. In order to elucidate the ring-opening reactivity of the oxazolinium cation, the ring-opening addition reaction of N-methyl-2-oxazolinium perchlorates with pyridine was investigated. It was found that N-methyl-2-phenyl-2-oxazolinium perchlorate was more reactive toward the nucleophilic ring-opening reaction than was N-methyl-2-methyl-2-oxazolinium perchlorate. The mutual copolymerization of 2-phenyl-2-oxazoline with the other 2-substituted-2-oxazoline such as 2-methyl-, 2-isopropyl-, and 2-benzyl-2-oxazoline indicated that the monomer reactivity ratio r₂ was much larger than unity, whereas r₁ was very much smaller. Based on these results, the influence of the structure and the reactivity of the monomer and the growing cationic end of the polymerizability of 2-oxazolines are discussed.     

Degradation of polypeptide-metal complexes. VI. Degradation of the Ni2+ -angiotensin complex by H2O2

After degradation of the Ni²⁺ complex of val⁵-angiotensin II-asp¹-β-amid by H₂O₂ the peptide fragments were separated by high voltage electrophoresis and by ion exchange. The fragments were hydrolyzed and the amino acids determined by the method of Stein & Moore.

Indole derivatives. 123. Effect of the substituent in the 2 position on the carbomethoxylation of 2-substituted 3-indolylacetonitriles

It is shown that the size rather than the electronegativity of the substituent in the 2 position of the indole ring has an effect on the Claisen condensation of 2-substituted 3-indolylacetonitriles with dimethyl carbonate. Carbomethoxylation of the side chain is generally accompanied by methylation of the nitrogen atom of the indole ring.See [1] for Communication 122.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 3, pp. 372–376, March, 1981.     

An Ab Initio Study of C2H2.H2, C2H2.N2, and C2H2.Ar Complexes

Ab initio calculations at the post Hartree–Fock level were performed on complexes of acetylene with hydrogen, nitrogen, and argon. Total energies, optimum geometries, and binding energies were calculated, using the 6-311G** and the 6-31+G(2df,2pd) basis sets. Calculations showed the complexes to be more stable than the separate entities, with the exception of the acetylene–hydrogen complex.     

Pyrimidones. 2. Synthesis and reactions of 2-chloropyrimidines

The treatment of 1-alkyl-5-aryl and 1-alkyl-4,5-diaryl-2-(1H)pyrimidones with phosphorus oxychloride and phosphorus pentachloride resulted in chlorination and dealkylation to furnish 2-chloro-5-aryl (or 4,5-diaryl)-pyrimidines. These chlorpyrimidines were reacted with a variety of nitrogen, oxygen, sulfur, and carbon nucleophiles to produce the corresponding 2-substituted pyrimidines. In the case of phenyllithium, attack occurred at the 4-position of the pyrimidine ring yielding 11 . Triazolopyrimidine 9 was synthesized via the treatment of 2d with hydrazine followed by reaction with triethyl orthoformate.     

Diazo compounds of the heterocyclic series. 6. Amination of methoxy-substituted 2-naphthyl- and 2-arylazobenzimidazoles

The amination of azo compounds inactivated by quaternization was carried out for the first time using 4-methoxyphenyl-, 2- and 4-methoxynaphthylazobenzimidazoles as examples. In contrast to the quaternary salts of 2-arylazobenzimidazoles, during the amination of the above bases of azo compounds, the substitution of the methoxy group rather than of the hydrogen atom was observed. The anomalous ease of substitution of the methoxy group, located in the naphthalene ring in a position adjacent to the azo bridge was attributed to the manifestation of an ortho-effect, discovered in the series of azo compounds for the first time.For Communication 5, see [1].Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 9, pp. 1209–1214, September, 1991.     

Reactivity of 2-halo-2H-azirines. 1. Reactions with nucleophiles.

Nucleophilic substitution reactions of 2-halo-2H-azirines 1a, 1b, 1d, and 1e with potassium phthalimide and aniline allowed the preparation of new substituted 2H-azirines 2-5. The reactions of 2-bromo-2H-azirine 1a with methylamine led to the synthesis of alpha-diimines 7 and 8. 2-Halo-2H-azirines were also established as building blocks for the synthesis of a range of heterocyclic compounds, namely, quinoxalines 10a-10d, 3-oxazoline 14, and 2H-[1,4]oxazines 18 and 20. X-ray crystal structures of alpha-diimine 7, 3-oxazoline 14, and 2H-[1,4]oxazine 18 are reported.     

Studies on the Syntheses of Multilayered [2. 2] Paracyclophanes

It is well-known that a number of double-layered compounds such as [2. 2]paracyclophane show anomalous physical and chemical properties due to the transannular π-electronic interaction between the stacked aromatic rings.²) Moreover, the interaction significantly increases with an increase of the layers as observed in a series of multilayered [2. 2]paracyclophanes³) and thereby it is of great interest to search a possibility of an organic semiconductor or its suitable model in them or their derivatives. However, such a study has been severely limited by great difficulty on the syntheses of the layered cyclophanes. While a number of synthetic methods have been developed for cyclophanes,²) only 1,6-Hofmann elimination method has so far been adopted to the preparation of multilayered [2.2]paracyclophanes.³) In practice, however, the yield is very low and becomes markedly poor with the increasing layers. Now we have studied some practical improvements on the preparation of multilayered [2.2]paracyclophanes.     

Nitrosation of 2-acetylcyclohexanone. 2. Reaction in water in the absence and presence of cyclodextrins

The kinetic study of the nitrosation of the enol of 2-acetylcyclohexanone (ACHE) has been performed in aqueous acid media in the absence and presence of alpha- and beta-cyclodextrin. The reaction is first-order with respect to both reactants concentration: [nitrite] and [ACHE]; but, unexpectly, the dependence of both [H(+)] or [X(-)] (X(-) = Cl(-), Br(-), or SCN(-)) is not simple first-order. The experimental findings have been explained on the basis of a reaction mechanism that considers the formation of a chelate-nitrosyl complex intermediate in steady-state. Addition of both alpha-cyclodextrin (alpha-CD) or beta-cyclodextrin (beta-CD) diminishs strongly the observed rate constant, k(o), measured either for enol-nitrosation or for enol-ketonization reactions. In the case of beta-CD, the inhibition effect is explained through the formation of nonproductive inclusion complexes between the enol (EH) and beta-CD of 1:1 stoichiometry. Nevertheless, the quantitative interpretation of k(o)-[alpha-CD] profiles requires the assumption that the inclusion complexes formation of both 1:1 (EH/alpha-CD) and 1:2 (EH/alpha-CD(2)) stoichiometries. In the case of enol-ketonization, the EH/alpha-CD complex is nearly as reactive as the uncomplexed enol.
