A new electrophilic 2-pyrone bearing a CF3- group,its preparation and its [4+2] cycloaddition reactions.

An efficient method for the synthesis of 4-methoxycarbonyl-6-trifluoromethyl-2H-pyran-2-one (4) starting from the 1:1-adduct of the CuCl-catalysed addition of 1,1,1-trichloro-2,2,2-trifluoroethane to dimethyl itaconate is presented. The new electrophilic 2-pyrone 4 affords [4+2] cycloadducts with a number of olefins and acetylenes. Their formation follows the reactivity patterns of a typical Diels-Alder reaction with inverse electron demand. The overall sequence represents a new methodology for the transfer of the CF₃- group from a simple freon into more complex organic compounds.     

Synthesis, structure and complexation of the fluorinated 1,3-enaminoketones containing at the nitrogen atom substituents with a terminal C≡C bond

The reaction of fluorinated lithium 1,3-diketonates with propargylamine hydrochloride and 1,1,1-trifluorpentane-2,4-dione or 1,1,1-trifluoro-4-methoxypent-3-en-2-one with propargylamine and 3-aminophenylacetylene were performed to obtain fluorinated 1,3-enaminones containing at a nitrogen atom substituents with terminal C≡C bonds: (Z)-1,1,1-trifluoro-4-(2-propynylamino)-3-pentene-2-one, (Z)-1,1,2,2-tetrafluoro-5-(2-propynylamino)-4-hexen-3-one, and 4-(3-ethynylphenylamino)-1,1,1-trifluoropentyl-3-en-2-one. Reactions of 4-(3-ethynyl-phenylamino)-1,1,1-trifluoro-pentyl-3-en-2-one with Cu(II) acetate or nanosized powder of copper or its oxides led to the respective chelate complex. The structure of (Z)-1,1,2,2-tetrafluoro-5-(2-propynylamino)-4-hexen-3-one and a copper complex of 4-(3-etinilphenylamino)-1,1,1-trifluoropenta-3-en-2-one was determined by XRD.     

Asymmetric synthesis of long chain α-methyl-β-thiotrifluoromethyl ketones employing the SAMP-/RAMP-hydrazone alkylation methodology

The enantioselective synthesis of both enantiomers of (Z)-1,1,1-trifluoro-3-methyl-4-thia-13-octadecen-2-one and (Z)-1,1,1-trifluoro-3-methyl-4-thia-13-hexadecen-2-one (ee ⩾90%), potential inhibitors of the pheromone action of two major maize pests Sesamia nonagrioides and Ostrinia nubilalis, is described. The key step is based upon a stereoselective alkylation with methyl iodide using the SAMP-/RAMP-chiral auxiliary methodology, followed by deprotection under non-racemization conditions.     

Synthesis of trifluoromethylthiazoles and their application to azo dyes

3-Bromo-1,1,1-trifluoropropan-2-one ( 2 ) reacted with thiourea and N-monosubstituted thioureas to give the corresponding 4-trifluoromethylthiazoles, respectively. In the reactions with N,N'-diphenylthiourea and thioamides, the considerably stable intermediates, 4-hydroxy-4-trifluoromethylthiazoline derivatives 7 and 8 , were isolated. The reaction of ethyl 2-bromo-4,4,4-trifluoro-3-oxobutanoate ( 4 ) with thiourea was carried out under the gentle conditions to give both thiazole-5-carboxylate 10 and 4-hydroxythiazoline 11 . The thiazole 10 was applied to the azo dye synthesis and the absorption maxima of thus obtained azo dyes were discussed.

Apart from the expected [2 + 2]-cycloaddition product, the reaction of N-chloro-N-(2-methoxy-2-oxoethyl)-β-alanine methyl ester with dichloroacetyl chloride in the presence of ethyl(diisopropyl)amine gave minor N-(1,2-dichloro-2-oxoethyl)-β-alanine methyl ester and (3E)-1,1,1-trichloro-4-(diisopropylamino)- but-3-en-2-one.     

Influence of the structures of α-halo ketones and thioamides on the Hantzsch synthesis of thiazoles and thiazolo[5,4-b]indoles. A new approach to 4-acetyl-2-methyl-4H-thiazolo[5,4-b]indole

In reactions with some α-halo ketones (3-bromo-1,1,1-trifluoropropan-2-one, 1-acetyl-2-bromoindolin-3-one, and α-bromoacetophenone), thioacetamide and a series of thioamides of aromatic and heteroaromatic acids are transformed into 4-hydroxy-Δ²-thiazolines rather than into thiazoles (the expected Hantzsch reaction products). To the contrary, thiazoles are produced in the reactions of the same α-halo ketones with thioamides of phenylacetic, diphenylacetic, 3-indolylacetic, or cyanoacetic acids. The abnormal course of the Hantzsch reaction in the former case results from the fact that 4-hydroxy-Δ²-thiazolines, which are intermediates in the thiazole synthesis, undergo virtually no dehydration under the Hantzsch reaction conditions. The ease of dehydration of hydroxythiazolines under the conditions of the thiazole synthesis and the possibility of the spontaneous thiazole synthesis depend on the nature of the substituent at position 2 and, consequently, on the structure of the starting thioamide. The Me, Ar, and Het substituents impede dehydration, whereas substituents containing the α-methylene (methine) unit at the C(2) atom of the thiazoline moiety substantially facilitate this reaction. The conditions for the dehydration of 4-acetyl-2-methyl-8b-hydroxy-3a,8b-dihydro-4H-thiazolo[5,4-b]indole under basic catalysis were found, and a new procedure was developed for the preparation of thiazoles and 2-R-thiazolo[5,4-b]indoles, whose synthesis presents difficulties or is impossible under standard conditions.     

Catalyst-free synthesis of 3-hydroxyimidazo[1,2-a]pyridine zwitterion derivatives via the three-component reaction of ethyl glyoxalate, 2‑aminopyridines and cyclic 1,3-dicarbonyls

The three-component reaction of ethyl glyoxalate, 2-aminopyridines, and cyclic 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds such as 4-hydroxycoumarin, N,N-dimethylbarbituric acid and 4-hydroxy-6-methyl-2H-pyran-2-one is described for the synthesis of 3-hydroxyimidazo[1,2-a]pyridine zwitterion derivatives.     

Carbonylative Sonogashira annulation sequence: One-pot synthesis of 4-quinolone and 4H-chromen-4-one derivatives

Carbonylative Sonogashira annulation sequence for one pot synthesis of 4-quinolone and 4H-chromen-4-one has been developed in presence of Pd-NHC catalyst. Substituted 2-iodoaniline and 2-iodophenol independently underwent in the carbonylative Sonogashira annulation reaction with a variety of acetylenes to result in 4-quinolone and flavone derivatives respectively in good to excellent yield. Moreover, this protocol does not require toxic CO gas, high catalyst loading and any expensive salt/additive. Herein we, for the first time, are using Mo(CO)₆, as solid CO source for the one pot synthesis of flavone derivatives via carbonylative Sonogashira annulation reaction.     

Peculiarities of three-component cyclization of ethyl 4,4,4-trifluoroacetoacetate and 1,2-ethanediamines with 3-methylbutan-2-one

The peculiarities of the three-component cyclization of ethyl 4,4,4-trifluoroacetoacetate and 1,2-ethanediamines with 3-methylbutan-2-one into hexahydroimidazo[1,2-a]pyridin-5-ones were studied. The reactions proceeded under mild conditions. The use of methyl ketone with a bulky isopropyl substituent increased the stereoselectivity of the transformations, but the reaction with 1,2-diaminopropane was accompanied by the formation 4-[(1-ammoniopropan-2-yl)amino]-1,1,1-trifluoro-4-oxobut-2-en-2-olate as a by-product.

A formal [3+3] cyclocondensation of 1,3-bis(silyl enol ethers) with the little-known 4,4-dimethylthio-1,1,1-trifluorobut-3-en-2-one was studied. In contrast to 4,4-dimethoxy-1,1,1-trifluorobut-3-en-2-one, this α-oxoketene dithioacetal reacts with 1,3-bis(trimethylsilyloxy)-1,3-butadienes in the presence of TiCl₄ to give mainly 6-methylthio-4-(trifluoromethyl)salicylates via 1,2-addition. The scope and limitations of the reaction are discussed.

The present paper describes unusual reactions of lithium enolate of ethyl 4,4,4-trifluoro-3-oxobutanoate with ammonium acetate and 1-aminonaphthalene. These reactions produce 4-amino-2,6-bis(trifluoromethyl)pyridine and 4-trifluoromethyl-2-[(Z)-1,1,1-trifluoroprop-1-en-2-ol-1-yl]benzo[h]quinoline, respectively. The reaction of 1,1,7,7,7-hexafluoroheptane-2,4,6-trione hydrate with 1-naphthylamine gives a mixture of 4-trifluoromethyl-2-[(Z)-1,1,1-trifluoroprop-1-en-2-ol-1-yl]benzo[h]quinoline and N,N??-bis(naphth-1-yl)-2,6-bis(trifluoromethyl)pyridine-4(1H)-imine, respectively.     

1,3-Dipolar cycloaddition of β-alkoxyvinyl trifluoromethylketones with aryl (or benzyl) azides: Synthesis of 4-trifluoroacetylated 1H-1,2,3-triazoles

The 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of aryl (or benzyl) azides with 1,1,1-trifluoro-4-ethoxy-3-butene-2-one proceeded smoothly by heating without solvent. 1-Aryl (or benzyl)-4-trifluoroacetyl-1H-1,2,3-triazoles were formed regiospecifically in good yield. These compounds were readily hydrated when exposed to air. In contrast, the reaction of benzyl azide with 4-trifluoroacetyl-2,3-dihydrofuran only gave minor amounts of 4-trifluoroacetyl-5-benzylamino-2,3-dihydrofuran in addition to an inseparable mixture of other products. 5-Trifluoroacetyl-3,4-dihydro-2H-pyran was inert towards benzyl azide under the same conditions.

The γ-alumina catalyzed synthesis of a new series of β-functionalized 5-methyl-1H-pyrazol-3-ol derivatives by the multi-component reaction of an aldehyde, ethylcyano acetate, and in situ generated 3-methyl-1H-pyrazol-5(4H)-one obtained from hydrazine monohyrade and ethyl acetoacetate in aqueous medium is described. The present reaction forms an important variant of the Yonemitsu-type multi-component reaction. The salient features of this present environmentally benign method are: recyclability of the catalysts, mild reaction condition, excellent yields of product, and the use of aqueous medium in the reaction.     

Amine-carbon disulfide promoted synthesis of novel benzo[e][1,3]thiazepin-5(1H)-one derivatives

In this paper, a simple method is introduced for the synthesis of novel 4-substituted-3-thioxo-3,4-dihydrobenzo[e][1,3]thiazepin-5(1H)-one derivatives. The synthesis is based on a two-step reaction of 2-methylbenzoic acid, an amine, and carbon disulfide. In the first step, 2-methylbenzoic acid reacts with sulfuric acid in ethanol, followed by the reaction with N-bromosuccinimide to produce ethyl 2-(bromomethyl)benzoate. Amine and carbon disulfide react in a separate flask in basic medium to give carbamodithioate salt. Carbamodithioate and ethyl 2-(bromomethyl)benzoate react together in dimethylformamide to produce the desired 4-substituted-3-thioxo-3,4-dihydrobenzo[e][1,3]thiazepin-5(1H)-one derivatives. The method is simple and fast and is applicable to a wide variety of substrates and gives the desired products in high isolated yields.     

Diels-alder reactions with ethyl 1-benzofuran-3-carboxylates

Substituted salicylaldehydes reacted with ethyl diazoacetate to give ethyl 1-benzofuran-3-carboxylates containing various substituents in the aromatic ring. The Diels-Alder reaction of these compounds with Danishefsky’s diene was regioselective, and it provided an effective method for the construction of the heterocyclic skeleton of hexahydrodibenzo[b,d]furan-7-one or tetrahydrodibenzo[b,d]furan-7-one. The adducts were found to undergo rearrangement to substituted 4′-hydroxybiphenyl-2-yl methyl carbonates during column chromatography on silica gel.     

Design and the synthesis of 1-heteroaryl-1,2,3-triazoles connected to coumarins via ether linker

In this paper, we report an efficient and versatile methodology for the synthesis of a series of novel heteroaryl-1,2,3-triazoles connected to 4-methylcoumarin (4-methyl-2H-chromen-2-one) via oxymethylene linker. The desired molecules were accessed by both two-step synthesis and the one-pot copper catalyzed cycloaddition reaction of heteroaromatic azides with coumarin containing acetylenes. The developed protocol was found to be facile and effective for preparing a series of novel heteroaryl-1,2,3-triazole-coumarin conjugates in excellent yields. Practical utility of one-pot protocol has been confirmed by the successful gram-scale synthesis of 1,3-Dimethyl-6-(4-[([4-methyl-2-oxo-2H-chromen-7-yl]oxy)methyl]-1H-1,2,3-triazol-1-yl)pyrimidine-2,4(1H,3H)-dione.

One-pot regioselective synthesis of dihydronaphthofurans and dibenzofurans

A regioselective approach for the synthesis of substituted naphthofurans and dibenzofurans has been demonstrated through a ring transformation reaction of suitably functionalized 2H-pyran-2-ones by reaction with 6,7-dihydro-5H-benzofuran-4-one and 7-methoxybenzofuran-3-one, respectively, in high yields. The novelty of the procedure lies in the creation of an aromatic ring transformed by 2H-pyran-2-one involving the -COCH₂- moiety of a cyclic ketone.
