Tautomerism of 2-acylamino-3-dialkylaminomethylchromones

The determination of the ionization constants and UV, IR, and PMR spectroscopy established that 2-acylamino-3-dialkylaminomethylchromones can, depending on the character of the acyl group, the aggregate state, and the nature of the solvents, exist in the chromone form with an intramolecular hydrogen bond or as a zwitterion.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 11, pp. 1453–1456, November, 1971.     

Synthesis of 3-acylamino-2-oxazolidinone derivatives through cyclic transformations of 5-aryl (or benzyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2(3H)-one derivatives

New 3-acylamino-2-oxazolidinone derivatives 3 were obtained in good yields by reaction of 5-aryl (or benzyl)3-(2-hydroxyethyl)1,3,4-oxadiazol-2(3H)ones 1 with sodium ethylate. Treatment of ethyl 5-aryl-2-oxo-1,3,4-oxadiazole-3(2H)-acetates 7 with aromatic aldehydes in the presence of sodium ethylate or sodium hydride afforded 3-acylamino-5-aryl-4-ethoxycarbonyl-2-oxazolidinone derivatives as two trans- 5 and cis- 6 racemics. Only RS,SR-racemates were obtained with acetophenone under the same conditions.     

Synthesis of 3-acylamino- and 3-carbethoxy-2-benzopyrylium salts

High yields of 3-acylamino-2-benzopyrylium salts are formed in the acylation of 3,4-dimethoxy- and 3,4-methylenedioxyphenylacetonitrile. The salts are converted to 4-isoquinolones on treatment with ammonia. The acylation of ethyl 3,4-dimethoxyphenylglycidate ester also results in heterocyclization to 3-carbethoxy-2-benzopyrylium salts, which are converted to high yields of the corresponding 3-carbethoxyisoquinolines by treatment with ammonium hydroxide. The mechanisms of these transformations are discussed.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 6, pp. 730–732, June, 1971.     

Study of the reaction of cis- and trans-4-acylamino-3-hydroxythiophans with thionyl chloride

The reaction of cis- and trans-4-acylamino-3-hydroxythiophans with thionyl chloride was studied. It was found that chlorosulfites are initially formed with retention of the configuration of the starting compound. 2-Substituted 3a,4,6,6a-tetrahydrothieno[3,4-d]oxazoline is formed from trans-4-acylamino-3-chlorosulfitothiophans by thermal reaction or in the presence of pyridine, whereas trans-4-acylamino-3-chlorothiophans are obtained from cis-4-acylamino-3-chlorosulfitothiophans; both reactions proceed with inversion of configuration.     

Reaction of 2-acylamino-3,3-dichloroacrylonitriles with 2-aminothiophenol

Reactions of 2-acylamino-3,3-dichloroacrylonitriles with 2-aminothiophenol in the presence of triethylamine was shown to lead to 2-aryl-3,3-bis(2-aminophenylsulfanyl)acrylonitrile, which suffered a transformation into 5-amino-4-(benzothiazol-2-yl)oxazole derivatives at heating without solvent. The formation of the same compounds from these reagents proceeded in one step in the presence of N,N-dimethylaniline. The presence of primary amino groups in the derivatives of 5-aminooxazole was confirmed by acylation and further transformation, which was used also for indroduction of various biophoric sites in 5 position of the oxazole ring.     

Stereoselective iodocyclisation of 3-acylamino-2-methylene alkanoates: a computational insight

In order to explain the high stereocontrol occurring in the iodocyclisation of 3-acylamino-2-methylenealkanoates, either the conformational space of the starting products or the cyclisation reaction potential energy surface (PES) was explored at DFT level of theory, the polarised continuum formalism (PCM) for chloroform being used in order to consider the solvent effect. The observed stereoselection was ascribed to both the near attack conformations (NACs) distribution and the energy differences between the two possible and competitive cyclisation pathways leading to cis- and trans-diastereomers.     

Synthesis of derivatives of 2-acylamino-7-oxybenzo[b]thiophene. Bromination and nitration

Bromination of 2-acylamino-3-ethoxycarbonyl-7-oxo-4,5,6,7-tetrahydrobenzo[b]-thiophenes has been studied. This reaction affords 2-acylamino-6,6-dibromo-3-ethoxycarbonyl-7-oxo-4,5,6,7-tetrahydrobenzo[b]thiophene, which on dehydrobro-mination gives 6-bromo-7-oxybenzo[b]thiophene derivatives. The 4,6-dibromo- and 4,6-dinitro-7-oxybenzo[b]thiophenes were also obtained.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 4, pp. 460–462, April, 1987.     

Synthesis of a stable triformylmethane synthon and its scalable application to 7-acylamino-3-formylquinoline syntheses

Novel 2-iminiomethylvinamidinium trihalides were isolated as stable crystals and found to be useful triformylmethane synthons with non-deliquescent nature in air. They were easier to manufacture, handle, and store than the known 2-iminiomethylvinamidinium dichloride. By virtue of in situ aminal protection, a combination of the vinamidinium salt with a secondary amine achieved an efficient and scalable synthesis of 7-acylamino-3-formylquinoline, a versatile synthetic intermediate for potent anti-obesity drugs 7-acylamino-3-aminomethyl-8-methylquinolines.     

Triazole antifungals. IV. Synthesis and antifungal activities of 3-acylamino-2-aryl-2-butanol derivatives.

New triazole compounds were designed and synthesized as potential inhibitors of the fungal cytochrome P-450 14 alpha-demethylase. In testing for antifungal activity against a mouse systemic Candida albicans infection, (2R,3R)-3-acylamino-2-aryl-2-butanol derivatives III exhibited remarkably high efficacy after oral or parenteral administration. The structure-activity relationships of these amidoalcohols were evaluated.     

Triazole antifungals. V. Synthesis and antifungal activities of some amides related to 3-acylamino-2-aryl-1-triazolyl-2-butanol.

Amides, 2 and 3 related to the potent antifungal triazole-amide 3-acylamino-2-aryl-1-triazolyl-butanol(1) were synthesized starting from the triazole-alcohol 6. The antifungal activity of 2 and 3 against a mouse systemic Candida albicans infection was found to be less potent than that of 1.     

Reactions of 1-acylamino- and 1-methylsulfonylamino-2-aryloxy-4-hydroxy-9,10-anthraquinones with secondary amines

Reactions of 1-acylamino-4-hydroxy-2-phenoxy-9,10-anthraquinones with piperidine resulted in replacement of the phenoxy group by piperidino, while 1-methylsulfonyl-2-aryloxy-4-hydroxy-9,10-anthraquinones reacted with secondary amines to give products of nucleophilic substitution of hydrogen in position 3.     

Interaction of 1-acylamino-2,2-dichloroethenyl(triphenyl)phosphonium chlorides with alkanolamines

Abstract

It is shown that the interaction of 1-acylamino-2,2-dichloroethenyl(triphenyl)-phosphonium chlorides with alkanolamines having a primary amino group results in the formation of 4-oxazolylphosphonium salts containing hydroxyalkylamine substituents at position 5 of the oxazole cycle. Under similar conditions the reaction of N-substituted alkanolamines with 1-acylamino-2,2-dichloroethenyl-(triphenyl)phosphonium chlorides leads to the formation of 1,3-oxazolidin-2-ylidene derivatives, in which the triphenylphosphonium group is located in the side chain. The structure of the new synthesized compounds has been reliably proven by elemental analysis, IR, ¹Н, ¹³С, ³¹Р NMR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry and single crystal X-ray diffraction.     

Fragmentation studies of synthetic 2-acylamino-1,4-naphthoquinones by electrospray ionization mass spectrometry

We report here the fragmentation mechanism for five 2-acylamino-1,4-naphthoquinone derivatives using electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry (ESI-MS/MS). Analyses were performed on a low-resolution, triple-quadrupole mass spectrometer. Fragmentation pathways for protonated molecular derivatives 2-acylamino-1,4-naphthoquinone [M+H]+ are proposed on the basis of theoretical calculations. There is evidence that the nitrogen atom is the protonation site, based on the nucleophilic atomic indices.     

Combinatorial solution-phase synthesis of (2S,4S)-4-acylamino-5-oxopyrrolidine-2-carboxamides

Solution-phase combinatorial synthesis of (2S,4S)-4-acylamino-5-oxopyrrolidine-2-carboxamides was studied. First, di-tert-butyl (2S,4S)-4-amino-5-oxopyrrolidine-1,2-dicarboxylate hydrochloride was prepared as the key intermediate in five steps from (S)-pyroglutamic acid. Acylation of the amino group followed by acidolytic deprotection gave (2S,4S)-4-acylamino-5-oxopyrrolidine-2-carboxylic acids, which were then coupled with amines to furnish a library of (2S,4S)-4-acylamino-5-oxopyrrolidine-2-carboxamides. Four coupling reagents, BPC, EEDQ, TBTU, and PFTU, were tested for the amidation reactions in the final step. Amidations with EEDQ and TBTU led to the desired carboxamides. On the other hand, BPC and PFTU were not suited, since diketopiperazines were sometimes obtained instead of the desired carboxamides.     

Reaction of 3-acylamino- and 3-alkoxybenzo[<Emphasis Type="Italic">c</Emphasis>]pyrilium salts with hydrazine

The reaction of 3-acylamino- and 3-alkoxybenzo[c]pyrilium perchlorates with hydrazine has been studied. It was discovered that the direction of the recyclization of the pyran ring depends on the type of substituent in position 3 and on the ratio of reactants. Derivatives of isoquinoline and benzo-2,3-diazepine were obtained.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No.10, pp. 1507–1511, October, 2004.     

Mass spectra of 4-acylamino-3-hydroxy(or acyloxy) thiophans

The mass spectra of cis- and trans-4-acylamino-3-hydroxy(or acyloxy)thiophans were investigated. The general principles of fragmentation under the influence of electron impact were established. A difference in the intensities of the peaks of the fragments formed at an ionizing-electron energy of 14 eV was observed for some of the cis and trans isomers of 3,4-substituted thiophans.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 4, pp. 466–471, April, 1976.     

Experimental and DFT studies on competitive heterocyclic rearrangements. Part 2: a one-atom side-chain versus the classic three-atom side-chain (Boulton-Katritzky) ring rearrangement of 3-acylamino-1,2,4-oxadiazoles

The experimental investigation of the base-catalyzed rearrangements of 3-acylamino-1,2,4-oxadiazoles evidenced a new reaction pathway which competes with the well-known ring-degenerate Boulton-Katritzky rearrangement (BKR). The new reaction consists of a one-atom side-chain rearrangement that is base-activated, occurs at a higher temperature than the BKR, and irreversibly leads to the corresponding 2-acylamino-1,3,4-oxadiazoles. An extensive DFT study is reported to elucidate the proposed reaction mechanism and to compare the three possible inherent routes: (i) the reversible three-atom side-chain ring-degenerate BKR, (ii) the ring contraction-ring expansion route (RCRE), and (iii) the one-atom side-chain rearrangement. The results of the computational investigation point out that the latter route is kinetically preferred over the RCRE and can be considered as the ground-state analogue of a previously proposed C(3)-N(2) migration-nucleophilic attack-cyclization (MNAC) photochemically activated pathway. The MNAC consists of the formation of a diazirine intermediate, involving the exocyclic nitrogen, that eventually evolves into a carbodiimide intermediate (migration); the latter undergoes a single intramolecular nucleophilic attack-cyclization step leading to the final 2-acylamino-1,3,4-oxadiazole.     

1,4-Diacyl-3-acylamino-5-aryl-4,5-dihydro-1H-1,2,4-triazoles: Ring closure products of aromatic carbaldehyde (diaminomethylene) hydrazones with acylating agents

Summary Treatment of aromatic carbaldehyde (diaminomethylene)hydrazones1 with hot acetic anhydride or benzoyl chloride affords 1,4-diacyl-3-acylamino-5-aryl-4,5-dihydro-1H-1,2,4-triazoles2. In contrast, a new type of 0,N-acetal with an 1,2,4-triazole substructure (3) is obtained from 4-pyridine-carbaldehyde (diaminomethylene)hydrazone (li) by using a similar reaction procedure. The structures of all novel compounds were confirmed by spectroscopic data (¹H and¹³C NMR, MS, IR); some representative compounds were also studied by X-ray analysis.Dedicated to Professor Dr.S. Makleit on the occasion of his 65^th birthday.     

Cyclic transformations of 5-aryl(or benzyl)-3-(2-bromoethyl- 1,3,4-oxadiazol-2(3H)-ones into 1-aminoimidazolidin-2-one and 5,6-dihydro-4H-1,3,4-oxadiazine derivatives

5-Aryl(or benzyl)-3-(2-bromoethyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2(3H)-ones 3 have been prepared. They were reacted with secondary alkylamines without any change of the heterocycle to give amino derivatives 6 , but with primary alkylamines, cyclic transformation occurred to give 1-acylamino-3-alkylimidazolidin-2-ones 7 . In the presence of sodium alcoholate, bromo compounds 3 were transformed into 2-aryl(or benzyl)-4-alkoxycarbonyl-5,6-dihydro-4H-1,3,4-oxadiazines 9 .     

Synthesis of 1H-naphth[2,3-d]imidazole-4,9-diones by acid catalyzed cyclization of 2-Acylamino-3-amino-1,4-naphthoquinones

The conversion of 2-acylamino-3-amino-1,4-naphthoquinones (II) to the corresponding 2-substituted 1H-naphth[2,3-d]imidazole-4,9-diones (I) under both alkaline and acid catalyzed conditions has been effected and the results compared. Treatment of 3-(4′-chlorobutanonyl-amino)-3-amino-1,4-naphthoquinone (He) with aqueous ethanolic sodium hydroxide solution gives 1,2-butanonaphth[2,3-d]imidazole-4,9-dione (V); whereas, treatment of lie with refluxing formic acid gave 2-(4′-chlorobutyl)-1H-naphth[2,3-d]imidazole-4,9-dione. Treatment of 2-substi-tuted 1H-naphth[2,3-d]imidazole-4,5-diones in DMF with alkyl halides in the presence of potassium carbonate affords the expected 1,2-disubstituted naphth[2,3-d]imidazole-4,9-diones (VI). The spectral properties of I, II, V and VI as well as those of some 2-acylamino-3-chloro-1,4-naphthoquinones IV are discussed.
