Regioselective synthesis of 2,4,6-triaminopyridines

A regioselective synthesis of 2,4,6-trisubstituted pyridine is described starting from 2,6-dibromo-4-nitropyridine. All three different regioisomers of the 2,4,6-triamino substituted pyridine have been synthesized in four to five steps. The method described is a general route to unsymmetrical 2,4,6-trisubstituted amino pyridines.     

Synthesis of 2,4,6-trisubstituted pyridines via an olefin cross-metathesis/Heck-cyclisation-elimination sequence

Heck reactions were performed on α,β-unsaturated-δ-sulfonamido intermediates, derived from cross metathesis, to allow the instalment of substituents at the β position. Subsequent one-pot cyclisation/elimination provides an operationally simple, catalytic and convergent synthesis of 2,4,6-trisubstituted pyridines.     

Studies on cycloimmonium ylids. Synthesis of some new 2,4,6-triaryl-substituted pyridines via pyridinium,picolinium and isoquinolinium ylids

Reaction of pyridinium phenacylids and their picolinium and isoquinolinium counterparts with substituted benzylideneacetophenones gave a wide variety of 2,4,6-triaryl-substituted pyridines which are expected to have some potential biological activities. Ammonium acetate in glacial acetic acid was used as the cyclization agent. The structures of resulting pyridines are supported by nmr and ir spectral data.     

Convenient synthesis of substituted 3-aminothiophene-2-carbonitriles from α-acetylenic nitriles and their conversion to thieno[3,2-d]pyrimidines

Several novel 2,4,6-trisubstituted thieno[3,2-d]pyrimidines were synthesized from the hitherto unknown 3-amino-5-methyl-(or 5-phenyl)thiophene-2-carbonitriles 7 and 8 . o-Aminonitriles 7 and 8 were obtained in a single step by conjugate addition of mercaptoacetonitrile (generated in situ) to substituted acetylenic nitriles 4 and 5 and annelation of the intermediate vinylic thioethers.     

Syntheses,Optical Properties,and Theoretical Investigation of Silafluorenes and Spirobisilafluorenes Bearing Electron‐Donating Aminostyryl Arms around a Silafluorene Core

π‐Extended silafluorenes and spirobisilafluorenes bearing electron‐donating aminostyryl substituents at the 2,7‐ or 3,6‐positions were synthesized by a Horner–Wadsworth–Emmons reaction. The electronic influence of spirocyclic structure and substitution mode of the aminostyryl substituents was investigated by UV/Vis spectroscopy, which indicated the existence of a spiroconjugation effect in the 3,6‐substituted spirobisilafluorene. They exhibited moderate to strong fluorescence emission, and the fluorescence properties were compatible with the UV/Vis absorption characteristics, except for the 3,6‐substituted spirobisilafluorene, which showed relatively large enhancement of fluorescence quantum yield and Stokes shift. The influence of the spirocyclic structure and substitution mode on the photophysical properties of the silicon compounds was investigated by DFT calculations.     

One-pot,three-component synthesis of 1-amidomethyl-imidazo[1,2-a]pyridines catalyzed by ytterbium triflate

A straightforward method has been developed for the synthesis of 1-amidomethyl-imidazo[1,2-a]pyridines by Yb(OTf)₃ catalyzed three-component reaction of aldehydes, acetamide, and imidazo[1,2-a]pyridines. A series of substituted 3-substituted imidazo[1,2-a]pyridines were synthesized in moderate to good yield (21–74%) under mild reaction condition and the catalyst was recycled for four cycles.     

Highly stereoselective prins cyclization of silylmethyl-substituted cyclopropyl carbinols to 2,4,6-trisubstituted tetrahydropyrans

The homoallyl cation formed from a cyclopropyl carbinol that was vicinally substituted by a silylmethyl function underwent smooth Prins cyclization with aldehydes and ketones to form 2,4,6-trisubstituted tetrahydropyrans with very high stereoselectivity.     

An Orthogonal Synthetic Approach to Nonsymmetrical Bisazolyl 2,4,6-Trisubstituted Pyridines

A three-step synthetic route giving access to nonsymmetrical bisazolyl 2,4,6-trisubstituted pyridines with different substituents on the pyrazole, indazole, and pyridine heterocycles is described. From the readily available 4-bromo-2,6-difluoropyridine, both fluorine atoms allow for easy selective stepwise substitution, and the bromine atom provides easy access to additional functionalities through both Suzuki and Sonogashira Pd(0) cross-coupling reactions. These synthons represent optimal structures as building blocks in complexation and metalloorganic structures for the tuning of their chelating and photophysical properties.     

5- And 6-exocyclic products, cis-2,3,5-trisubstituted tetrahydrofurans, and cis-2,3,6-trisubstituted tetrahydropyrans via Prins-type cyclization

Exocyclic products having cis-2,5 and cis-2,6 substitution were synthesized from terminally substituted alkynyl alcohols with various aldehydes via Prins-type cyclization in good yields. It is of interest that synthesized 5- and 6-exocyclic vinyl cations generated as a result of Prins-type cyclization could be trapped as a vinyl triflate in CH2Cl2 to give 3-furanylidenes and 3-pyranylidenes. Those 3-furanylidenes and 3-pyranylidenes underwent hydrolysis to give the corresponding 3-acyl-substituted products having all-cis-configured isomers, such as 2,3,5-trisubstituted tetrahydrofurans and 2,3,6-trisubstituted tetrahydropyrans.     

Cyclopropyl-substituted pyrylium salts

The previously unknown 2,4,6-trisubstituted pyrylium salts 1-4 , carrying cyclopropyl and methyl or phenyl substituents in the same molecule, and 5-8 , substituted with isopropyl groups instead of cyclopropyl, were synthesized as perchlorates. The electronic spectra and the C-13 nmr spectra of the two groups of compounds were compared. A cyclopropyl group has a batochromic effect on the electronic spectrum roughly half that exerted by a phenyl; replacement of an alkyl by a cyclopropyl shifts the highest wavelength absorption band by about 20 nm. Presence of phenyl substituents reduces the batochromic effects of cyclopropyl substituents. The effects of both cyclopropyl and phenyl substituents on the electronic spectra are smaller for pyrylium than for tropylium. The nmr signals for all the ring carbons are shifted upfield upon replacement of isopropyl by cyclopropyl; in particular, the effect of substituents in position 2 upon the chemical shift of C(4) indicates that the electron-releasing effect varies in the series alkyl < phenyl < cyclopropyl, in agreement with the findings for 2,6-disubstituted pyrylium salts. The difference between the chemical shifts for the methine and methylene carbons of the three-membered ring is a function of the electron demand of the cationic heterocycle.     

1-Alkynyl- and 1-alkenyl-3-arylimidazo[1,5-a]pyridines: synthesis, photophysical properties, and observation of a linear correlation between the fluorescent wavelength and Hammett substituent constants

1-Alkynyl- and 1-alkenyl-3-arylimidazo[1,5-a]pyridines were synthesized. The Sonogashira coupling of 3-aryl-1-iodoimidazo[1,5-a]pyridines and various terminal alkynes with Pd(PPh(3))(2)Cl(2) (10 mol %) and CuI (10 mol %) in triethylamine at 80 °C for 12 h afforded the corresponding 1-alkenyl-3-arylimidazo[1,5-a]pyridines in good to excellent yields. The Mizoroki-Heck reaction of 3-aryl-1-iodoimidazo[1,5-a]pyridines and various styrene derivatives proceeded smoothly with Pd(OAc)(2) (5 mol %), IMes·HCl (10 mol %), and Cs(2)CO(3) (2 equiv) in DMA at 130 °C for 20 h to give the alkenylated imidazo[1,5-a]pyridines in moderate to high yields. The fluorescence maxima and fluorescence quantum yields of the alkynylated products were 458-560 nm and Φ(F) = 0.08-0.26 in chloroform solution, and those of the alkenylated imidazopyridines were 479-537 nm and Φ(F) = 0.03-0.13. The absorption behaviors of the obtained alkynylated and alkenylated imidazo[1,5-a]pyridines showed a good fit to the values predicted by TDDFT calculations at the B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p) level. In addition, the alkynylated imidazo[1,5-a]pyridines obtained showed linear correlations between the Hammett substituent constants of the substituents on the arylalkynyl group and their fluorescence wavelengths.     

Syntheses and photophysical properties of fluorescent dibenzofurans,a dibenzothiophene,and carbazoles substituted with benzoxazole and hydroxyl groups to produce excited state intramolecular proton-transfer

Dibenzofurans, a dibenzothiophene, and carbazoles, each substituted with a 2-benzoxazolyl group as well as an ortho-hydroxyl group, were synthesized to produce fluors with fluorescence due to excited-state intramolecular proton-transfer. The orientations for Friedel-Crafts acylation of 3-methoxydibenzothio-phene and of the analogous carbazole were determined. The fluors displayed absorption peaks in the 330–385 nm region with molar extinction coefficients up to 57,000. Fluorescence quantum efficiencies of 0.17–0.44 were obtained at wavelengths that had peak values from 540–600 nm. The fluors are of potential use as wavelength shifters in scintillating polystyrene fibers.

Synthesis,characterization, and photophysical properties of paraben substituted cyclotriphosphazenes with hydrophilic side groups

Abstract

In this study, five new paraben substituted cyclotriphosphazene compounds containing hydrophilic glycol groups were successfully synthesized. All synthesized cyclotriphosphazene compounds 1-10 were fully characterized via general spectroscopic techniques such as ¹H, ³¹P NMR and MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry. In addition, the investigations of the UV-vis absorption and fluorescence emission properties of the 1-10 carried out via absorption and fluorescence spectroscopies in different solvents. The absorbance bands of the all synthesized compounds 1-10 were observed at about 230–300?nm in all solvents studied. Furthermore, the highest fluorescence emission intensity of the compounds 1-10 was observed in tetrahydrofuran at about 312?nm and the lowest emission intensity was observed in chloroform. The synthesized molecules can be used as custom designed molecules to investigate the DNA binding properties in automatic biosensor device in our laboratories, since they carry hydrophilic glycol units for water solubility and paraben derivatives for DNA effecting properties.     

Synthesis,characterization and antioxidant activity of bis (arylsulfonylmethyl/arylaminosulfonylmethylazolyl) pyridines

A new class of bis(arylsulfonylmethylazolyl)pyridines and bis(arylaminosulfonylmethyl-azolyl)pyridines were synthesized from the synthetic intermediates methyl arylsulfonylacetic acid hydrazide and methyl arylaminosulfonylacetic acid hydrazide adopting a green methodology-ultrasonication. All the synthesized compounds were resulted in higher yield and in shorter reaction times. The spectral parameters such as IR, ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, mass and microanalyzes were used to determine the structures of all the synthesized compounds and were assayed for antioxidant activity. The bis(arylaminosulfonylmethylazolyl)pyridines showed higher radical scavenging activity than the bis(arylsulfonylmethylazolyl)pyridines. Besides, unsubstituted, and methyl substituted compounds exhibited greater activity. Among all the tested compounds 8b and 11b were identified as potential antioxidants.     

Novel fluorescent pH sensor based on 5-(4-carboxy-phenyl)-10,15,20-tris(phenyl)-porphyrin

A novel fluorescent pH sensor based on 5-(4-carboxy-phenyl)-10,15,20-tris(phenyl)-porphyrin, as sensing agent, has been developed. The carboxyl functionalized asymmetric porphyrin has been synthesized and characterized by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), thin layer chromatography (TLC), proton nuclear magnetic resonance (¹H NMR), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), ultraviolet–visible (UV–vis), emission, excitation and mass spectrometry (MS) spectra. Optical and fluorescence behaviors were investigated in relationship with variation of acid concentration in the range of acid pH from 1.5 to 5.5. Upon increasing the acidity of the solution, the decrease of the fluorescence intensity was noticed, as a linear function of pH. Different metal ions were tested to put into evidence the changes regarding the fluorescence intensity, but the fluorescence obtained results revealed no significant interference on pH determination. The conclusion is that the proposed fluorescent sensor can measure pH in acid range in the presence of different metal ions making this sensor a proper one for pH determinations in leaching solutions of the recyclable processes of valuable metals.

Adsorption mechanism of substituted pyridines on silica suspensions: an NMR study

Adsorption isotherms of 2,5-dimethylpyridine (2,5-DMP) on Aerosil 200 silica from water-2,5-DMP binary mixtures are known to exhibit special features indicative of surface phase transitions in the adsorbed layer. We have made similar observations on another substituted pyridine, 2,4,6-trimethylpyridine (2,4,6-TMP). By using 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopy, we investigated adsorbed layers on silica in suspension in water/substituted-pyridine mixtures and demonstrated the existence of adsorbed species specific signals. Comparison of signals with those displayed on NMR spectra of liquid binary mixtures under various pH conditions rules out adsorption via interaction of the surface silanol group and the lone electron pair of the nitrogen atom. A mechanism of adsorption through the interaction of surface siloxane oxygen and the aromatic pi-system is proposed; it is consistent with both thermodynamic measurements and stacking of substituted pyridines within the adsorbed layer.     

Synthesis of 2,4,6-trisubstituted 5-(2-alkylsulfanylethyl)-pyrimidines and some their transformations

New 2,4,6-trisubstituted 5-(2-alkylsulfanylethyl)pyrimidines were synthesized by condensation of ethyl 2-(2-alkylsulfanylethyl)-3-oxobutanoates with various amidines and thiourea. Fusion of substituted 2,6-dimethylpyrimidin-4(3H)-ones with aromatic aldehydes gave the corresponding 6-styrylpyrimidines. Some 5-(2-alkylsulfanylethyl)pyrimidines were oxidized to sulfoxides, and amination of 5-[2-(butylsulfanyl)ethyl]-6-methyl-2-propylsulfanylpyrimidin-4(3H)-one with 4-aminobenzoic acid afforded 4-{5-[2-(butylsulfanyl)ethyl]-4-methyl-6-oxo-1,6-dihydropyrimidin-2-ylamino}benzoic acid.
