Perfluoro(1-ethyl-1,2-dihydrocyclobutabenzene) reacts with pentafluorobenzene in SbF5 to give perfluoro(1-ethyl-2-phenyl-1,2-dihydrocyclobutabenzene). Analogous reaction of a mixture of perfluoro(1,1-diethyl-1,2-dihydrocyclobutabenzene) and perfluoro(1,2-diethyl-1,2-dihydrocyclobutabenzene) leads to the formation (after hydrolysis of the reaction mixture) of perfluorinated 7-phenyl-8,8-diethylbicyclo[4.2.0]octa-1,4,6-trien-3-one, 1,1-diethyl-2-(4-oxocyclohexa-2,5-dienylidene)-1,2-dihydrocyclobutabenzene, and 2-(pent-2-en-3-yl)benzophenone (from the 1,1-isomer) and perfluorinated (E)-1,2-diethyl-1-phenyl-1,2-dihydrocyclobutabenzene, 7,8-diethyl-8-phenylbicyclo[4.2.0]octa-1,4,6-trien-3-one, and 1-[2-(1-phenylprop-1-en-1-yl)-phenyl]propan-1-one (from the 1,2-isomer).

A practical synthesis for 9,10-bis(alkoxyphenyl)-2,7-diiodophenanthrenes is described. 9,10-Bis(4-hexyloxyphenyl)-2,7-diiodophenanthrene was selectively obtained by a one-pot reaction of 10,10-bis-(4-hexyloxy-phenyl)-2,7-diiodo-10H-phenanthren-9-one with 1 equiv of triethylsilane in trifluoroacetic acid. The target molecular architecture was demonstrated to be a useful precursor for obtaining the corresponding poly(phenanthrene) and poly(phenanthrylene-vinylene).

The base-catalyzed condensation of benzaldehyde with 1-methyl-4-piperidone (5) gave two isomeric products which were dimers of 3-benzylidene-1-methyl-4-piperidone (7). Reactions of the dimers and their mass spectral data are examined on the basis of the X-ray structural analysis of the dibromo derivative of the dimer which was identified as 4-p-bromobenzylidene-9-p-bromophenyl-10a-hydroxy-2,7-dimethyl-2,7-diaza-10-oxa-1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,8a,10a,-decahydroanthracene (10b).     

Synthesis of N-aryl- and <Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>,<Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-diethyl-9-methyl-11-sulfanylidene-8-oxa-10,12-diazatricyclo[7.3.1.0<Superscript>2,7</Superscript>]trideca-2,4,6-triene-13-carboxamides

Synthesis of conjugated 2,7-bis(trimethylsilylethynyl)-(phenylethynyl)nfluoren-9-one and 9-(p-methoxyphenyl)-9-methyl derivatives: optical properties

2,7-Substituted 9-fluorenones and 9,9-disubstituted fluorene have been synthesized and their fluorescence properties analyzed. The synthesis of conjugated 2,7-bis(trimethylsilylethynyl)-(phenylethynyl)_nfluoren-9-one (or the 9-(p-methoxyphenyl)-9-methyl) structures was carried out by the heterocoupling reaction between the 2,7-di(halo)fluoren-9-one (or 2,7-dibromo-9-(p-methoxyphenyl)-9-methylfluorene) and p-trimethylsilylethynyl(phenylethynyl)_n (n=1,2), catalyzed by the dichloro bis(triphenylphosphine)palladium and cuprous iodide system, in a divergent synthesis.The π-extended conjugated compounds exhibit fluorescence radiation emission (blue light-emitting), with important quantum yield for the 9-(p-methoxyphenyl)-9-methyl-2,7-bis(trimethylsilylethynyl)-(phenylethynyl)_nfluorenes which increases with the conjugation.     

New synthesis of (Z,E)-2,7-bis(4-cyanobenzylidene)cycloheptan-1-one under stereospecific constraints induced by host-guest interactions

A selective, efficient, and fast access to (Z,E)-2,7-bis(4-cyanobenzylidene)cycloheptan-1-one (BCBCH), precursor of the synthetic antagonist of tissue-plasminogen activator (t-PA), is reported using a solid/solid aldolisation-crotonisation reaction on a supramolecular complex under microwave irradiation. The underlying mechanism is investigated from the crystal structure of the intermediate host-guest complex formed between permethylated gamma-cyclodextrin and (Z)-2-(4-cyanobenzylidene)cycloheptan-1-one.     

Chemistry and stereochemistry of the interaction of the water-soluble phosphine [HO(CH2)3]3P with cinnamaldehyde in aqueous media

To learn more about the bleaching action of pulps by (hydroxymethyl)phosphines, cinnamaldehyde was reacted with tris(3-hydroxypropyl)phosphine, [HO(CH2)3]3P (THPP), in aqueous solution at room temperature under argon. Self-condensation of the aldehyde into two isomeric products, 2-benzyl-5-phenyl-pent-2,4-dienal and 5-phenyl-2-(phenylmethylene)-4-pentenal, is observed; this implies initial nucleophilic attack of the phosphine at the beta-carbon of the alpha,beta-unsaturated aldehyde. Reaction in D2O gives the same products in which all but the phenyl and CHO protons are replaced by deuterons. NMR studies are consistent with carbanion formation and subsequent condensation of two phosphonium-containing aldehyde moieties to generate the products with concomitant elimination of phosphine oxide. In D2O in the presence of HCl, THPP reversibly attacks the aldehyde-C atom to form the (alpha-hydroxy)phosphonium derivative [PhCH=C(H)CH(OD)PR3]Cl (where R=(CH2)3OD), which slowly converts into the deuterated bisphosphonium salt [R3PCH(Ph)CD(H)CH(OD)PR3]Cl2 via the deuterated monophosphonium salt [R3PCH(Ph)CD(H)CHO]Cl. The phosphonium intermediates and phosphonium products in this chemistry, although having up to three chiral carbon centers, are formed with high stereoselectivity just in enantiomeric forms. In acetone-H2O (1:1 v/v), a cross-condensation of cinnamaldehyde with acetone to give 6-phenyl-3,5-hexadien-2-one is promoted by THPP via generation of OH-.     

A 1,5-diaza-2,4-(λ4P+, λ6P−)-diphosphorinane

The oxidation of the 1,3-diaza-4,6-diphosphorine 1 with tetrachloroorthobenzoquinone 2 led, unexpectedly, to the formation of 1,5-dimethyl-2,2-bis(dimethyl-amino)-4,4,4,4-bis-(tetrachloro-o-phenylenedioxa)-1,5-diaza-2,4-λ⁴, λ⁶-diphosphorinane-6-one 4 , containing two phosphorus atoms of opposite formal charge and different coordination number. The X-ray crystal structure analysis of 4 revealed the presence of a six-membered ring with an unusual conformation.     

Synthesis of 2,7-dihydro-3,4-5,6-dibenzotellurepin—a new heterocyclic compound

The reaction of 2,2-bis(bromomethyl)biphenyl with tellurium powder and sodium iodide gave the orange compound 1,1-diiodo-2,7-dihydro-3,4-5,6-dibenzotellurepin (1), which is easily reduced with hydrazine hydrate to 2,7-dihydro-3,4-5,6-dibenzotellurepin (2). The latter compound readily forms a black-brown 1:1 complex with TCNQ. The former could be converted to its 1,1-bis(diethyldithiocarbamato)-2,7-dihydro-3,4-5,6- dibenzotellurepin (3) and 1-phenyl-2,7-dihydro-3,4-5,6-dibenzotellurepinium tetraphenylborate (4), respectively, by treatment with NaS₂CN(C₂H₅)₂ and NaB(C₆H₅)₄. The UV-vis, IR, ESR and ¹H NMR spectral data for the new compounds are presented and discussed.

This compound was synthesized by the reaction of 1,4-bis(bromomethyl)benzene with 2,7-dihydroxyfluoren-9-one in DMF in the presence of anhydrous potassium carbonate under strong dilution. Crystalline complexes of the title compound with DMF and nitrobenzene were isolated and studied by X-ray diffraction. In both complexes the substrate is located in the ligand cavity.

This paper discusses the synthesis of benzo[1,4]oxazin-3-one-based compounds from 1,5-difluoro-2,4-dinitrobenzene (1), including benzo[1,4]oxazin-3-ones (5-11) and five novel benzo[1,4]oxazin-3-one-based tricycles: 6-hydroxy-4H-1-oxa-4,5,8-triazaanthracen-3-one (14), 3,8-dihydro-5-oxa-1,3,8-triazacyclopenta-[b]-naphthalene-7-one (15, 17, 21), 3,8-dihydro-5-oxa-1,2,3,8-tetraazacylopenta[b]-naphthalene-7-one (16, 20), 3,8-dihydro-1H-5-oxa-1,3,8-triazacyclopenta[b]-naphthalene-2,7-dione (18, 22), and 5,8-dihydro-4H-1-oxa-4,5,8-triazaanthracene-3,6,7-trione (19). Finally, a chemical library based on 15 was synthesized in parallel solution-phase reactions.

On the other hand, reaction of 2-(4-diazo-3-oxobutyl)-2-methyldithiolane 9d in the presence of AcOH gave the four-carbon ring-expansion product 16d substituted by an acetoxyl group. In addition, the reaction of 2-(3-diazo-2-oxopropyl)-2-methyl-3-oxathiolane 9f in the absence of AcOH gave 4-oxa-7-thiocan-2-en-1-one 19 via a sulfonium ylide intermediate, whereas, in the presence of AcOH, an alternative regioisomer 20 was also formed competitively with 19 via an oxonium ylide intermediate.

Synthesis,characterization, and antioxidant activity of heterocyclic Schiff bases

Schiff base derivatives have gained great importance due to revealing a great number of biological properties. Schiff bases were synthesized by treatment of 4-amino-1,5-dimethyl-2-phenyl-1H-pyrazol-3(2H)-one ( 1 ) with various aldehydes in methanol at reflux. In addition, diamine was reacted with an aldehyde to yield the corresponding Schiff bases. The structures of synthesized Schiff bases were elucidated by spectroscopic methods such as microanalysis, ¹H-NMR, ¹³C-NMR, and FTIR. Antioxidant activities of synthesized Schiff bases were carried out using different antioxidant assays such as 1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl-hydrazyl free radical (DPPH^•) scavenging, 2,2′-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS) radical scavenging, and reducing power activity. (E)-4-((1H-indol-3-yl)methyleneamino)-1,5-dimethyl-2-phenyl-1H-pyrazol-3(2H)-one ( 3 ), (E)-1,5-dimethyl-4-((2-methyl-1H-indol-3-yl)methyleneamino)-2-phenyl-1H-pyrazol-3(2H)-one ( 5 ), (E)-1,5-dimethyl-2-phenyl-4-(thiophen-2-ylmethyleneamino)-1H-pyrazol-3(2H)-one ( 7 ), (E)-1,5-dimethyl-2-phenyl-4-(quinolin-2-ylmethyleneamino)-1H-pyrazol-3(2H)-one ( 9 ), (1S,2S,N1,N2)-N1,N2-bis((1H-indol-3-yl)methylene)cyclohexane-1,2-diamine ( 11 ), and (1S,2S,N1,N2)-N1,N2-bis((2-methyl-1H-indol-3-yl)methylene)cyclohexane-1,2-diamine ( 12 ) were synthesized in high yields. Compound 5 displayed a good ABTS^•+ activity. Compound 3 revealed the outstanding activity in all assays. Compound 7 has the best-reducing power ability in comparison to other synthesized compounds. Although compounds 5, 11, 12 are new, compounds 3, 7, 9 are known. Due to revealing a good antioxidant activity, the synthesized compounds ( 3, 5, 7 ) have the potential to be used as synthetic antioxidant agents.

9H-Fluorene-9-carbodithioic acids and dithioates. First isolation and characterization of a gem-enedithiol

[2,7-Bis(octyloxy)fluoren-9-yliden]methanedithiol (1a) and its tautomer 2,7-bis(octyloxy)-9H-fluorene-9-carbodithioic acid (2a) can be isolated in pure form from the reaction of monolithiated 2,7-bis(octyloxy)-9H-fluorene with CS₂ followed by protonolysis with aqueous HCl. Compound 1a is the first isolated and unambiguously characterized gem-enedithiol. When 9H-fluorene, 2,7-di-tert-butyl-9H-fluorene or 2,7-dimethoxy-9H-fluorene are used, the same synthetic procedure yields the unstable dithioic acids, which can be converted to the piperidinium salts.     

Bildung von 5,6-Dihydro-1,3(4H)-thiazin-4-carbonsäure-estern aus 4-Allyl-1,3-thiazol-5(4H)-onen

Formation of Methyl 5,6-Dihydro-l, 3(4H)-thiazine-4-carboxyiates from 4-Allyl-l, 3-thiazol-5(4H)-ones . The reaction of N-[1-(N, N-dimethylthiocarbamoyl)-1-methyl-3-butenyl]benzamid ( 1 ) with HCl or TsOH in MeCN or toluene yields a mixture of 4-allyl-4-methyl-2-phenyl-1,3-thiazol-5(4H)-one ( 5a ) and allyl 4-methyl-2-phenyl-1,3-thiazol-2-yl sulfide ( 11 ; Scheme 3). Most probably, the corresponding 1,3-oxazol-5(4H)-thiones B are intermediates in this reaction. With HCl in MeOH, 1 is transformed into methyl 5,6-dihydro-4,6-dimethyl-2-phenyl-1,3(4H)-thiazine-4-carboxylate ( 12a ). The same product 12a is formed on treatment of the 1,3-thiazol-5(4H)-one 5a with HCl in MeOH (Scheme 4). It is shown that the latter reaction type is common for 4-allyl-substituted 1,3-thiazol-5(4H)-ones.
