Selective synthesis of allylated oxime ethers and nitrones based on palladium-catalyzed allylic substitution of oximes

[reaction: see text] The viability of oximes as nucleophiles in transition-metal-catalyzed allylic substitution was examined. The oxygen atom of oxime acted as a reactive nucleophile in the reaction of a pi-allyl palladium complex. In the presence of Pd(PPh3)4, the allylic substitution of oximes with allylic carbonate afforded the linear O-allylated oxime ethers selectively without a base. In contrast, the palladium-catalyzed reaction with allylic acetate proceeded smoothly in the presence of K2CO3 or Et2Zn as a base. Selective formation of nitrones was achieved by using palladium(II) catalyst. In the presence of Pd(cod)Cl2, the allylic substitution of oximes with allylic acetate afforded the N-allylated nitrones under solvent-free conditions, as a result of the reaction with the nitrogen atom of oximes.     

Effect of the Structure of 1- and 3-Methylpyrimidin-4-ones on the Rate of Nucleophilic Substitution of the 2-Methylsylfanyl Group

Rate constants for substitution of the 2-methylsulfanyl group in 1- and 3-methyl-2-methylsulfanyl-pyrimidin-4-ones and their 5-fluoro analogs were measured in the reaction with butylamine, alkaline hydrolysis, and methanolysis. The rate of substitution in 1-methyl isomers having a zwitterionic structure is greater by a factor of ~2 than the rate of substitution in 3-methyl isomers with conjugated double bonds in the ring. The presence of a fluorine atom in position 5 accelerates nucleophilic substitution in 1-methyl isomers, while 5-fluoro-3-methyl-2-methylsulfanylpyrimidin-4-ones react at a lower rate than their 5-unsubstituted analogs. According to the NMR data, the reactions involve formation of a tetrahedral intermediate. Anchimeric effect of the methyl group on N¹ hampersattack by basic reagent on the C⁶atom.

Reaction of 2-methoxy-3H-azepine with NBS: efficient synthesis of 2-substituted 2H-azepines

[reaction: see text] The reaction of 2-methoxy-3H-azepines, in the presence or absence of a nucleophile, with N-bromosuccinimide (NBS) gave a regioselective 1,4-adduct from which the corresponding 2H-azepine derivatives were formed via base-promoted hydrogen bromide elimination, generally in moderate to quantitative yield. Competitive formation of 4-bromo-2-methoxy-3H-azepine by electrophilic substitutuion or 3H-azepin-2-yl 2H-azepin-2-yl ether by transetherification was minimized at lower reaction temperatures. Quantitative substitution of 2-(2',4',6'-trichlorophenoxy)-2H-azepine derivatives, formed in moderate yield from the respective 3H-azepine and NBS in the presence of 2,4,6-trichlorophenol (TCP), by various nucleophiles gave the corresponding 2-substituted 2H-azepine. Among these nucleophiles were alkanethiol and alkylamine that are not tolerated in the reaction of 3H-azepine and NBS.     

Theoretical study on the lithium-halogen exchange reaction of 1,1-dihaloalkenes with methyllithium and the nucleophilic substitution reaction of the resulting alpha-halo alkenyllithiums

Transition structures for the lithium-bromine exchange reaction of 1,1-dibromoalkenes with methyllithium have been located by both the B3LYP and the MP2 levels of theory with the 6-31+G basis set. The reaction with methyllithium dimer gave similar results with lower activation energies. These calculations predict both the kinetic and the thermodynamic stereoselectivity correctly. That is, the sterically more constrained bromine atom of 1,1-dibromoalkenes was predominantly reacted with alkyllithium (dimer) in the kinetic condition. The intramolecular substitution reaction of 4,4-dibromo-3-methyl-3-pentenol in the presence of methyllithium has been investigated. After deprotonation of the alcohol and the lithium-bromine exchange reaction, the intramolecular substitution reaction occurs to give dihydrofuran in a concerted manner. The intermolecular substitution of alpha-chloro alkenyllithium with methyllithium was also studied for comparison. The formation of the indene derivative from 3-(o-bromophenyl)-1,1-dibromo-1-propene in the presence of methyllithium occurs in a similar manner. The lithium-bromine exchange reaction of bromobenzene with methyllithium occurs in an S(N)2 mechanism and the solvent plays an important role.     

Microstructural order in the developing cotton fiber based on availabilities of hydroxyl groups

The relative availabilities of accessible O(2)H, O(3)H, and O(6)H in the cellulose of developing cotton fibers were measured by conducting a reaction to a low degree of substitution under mild conditions in an aqueous medium. Raw cotton fibers from unopened bolls and from mature, opened bolls were studied. Correction was made for the presence of a β-1,3-glucan that was detected by substitution at the abundant O(4)H of this polysaccharide. The order of decreasing availability of hydroxyl groups of cellulose was O(2)H > O(6)H > > O(3)H. Results indicate that cellulose in the secondary wall of the cotton fiber is laid down with a high degree of order and that this order decreases with opening of the boll.     

Syntheses of Polyethers from Pentafluorobenzonitrile or Pentafluorobenzophenone and Flexible Diphenols

Cyanopentafluorobenzene (CPFB, pentafluorobenzonitrile) or pentafluoro‐benzophenone (PFBP) were polycondensed with long flexible diphenols at a 1∶1 feed ratio in the presence of K₂CO₃. A rather selective substitution of two C‐F groups was achieved with the formation of cyclic polyethers as the main products. Polycondensations of CPFB with flexible diphenols at 3∶2 feed ratio (a₂/b₃) yielded soluble multi‐cyclic polyethers by highly selective substitution of three C‐F groups. Yet, polycondensation at a feed ratio of 5∶2 gave a complex reaction mixture and substitution of all five C‐F groups was not observed. In all experiments, cyclization played a key role for the avoidance of gelation.     

Thermodynamics of axial substitution and kinetics of reactions with amino acids for the paddlewheel complex tetrakis(acetato)chloridodiruthenium(II,III)

The known paddlewheel, tetrakis(acetato)chloridodiruthenium(II,III), offers a versatile synthetic route to a novel class of antitumor diruthenium(II,III) metallo drugs, where the equatorial ligands are nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory carboxylates. This complex was studied here as a soluble starting prototype model for antitumor analogues to elucidate the reactivity of the [Ru(2)(CH(3)COO)(4)](+) framework. Thermodynamic studies on equilibration reactions for axial substitution of water by chloride and kinetic studies on reactions of the diaqua complexes with the amino acids glycine, cysteine, histidine, and tryptophan were performed. The standard thermodynamic reaction parameters ΔH°, ΔS°, and ΔV° were determined and showed that both of the sequential axial substitution reactions are enthalpy driven. Kinetic rate laws and rate constants were determined for the axial substitution reactions of coordinated water by the amino acids that gave the corresponding aqua(amino acid)-Ru(2) substituted species. The results revealed that the [Ru(2)(CH(3)COO)(4)](+) paddlewheel framework remained stable during the axial ligand substitution reactions and was also mostly preserved in the presence of the amino acids.

Synthesis and properties of sym-triazine derivatives. 3. alkoxylation of 2-alkyl-4,6-bis(trichloromethyl)-sym-triazines containing higher alkyl radicals

Nucleophilic substitution reactions of trichloromethyl groups in 2-alkyl-4,6-bis-(trichloromethyl)-sym-triazines by alkoxy radicals were studied. It was shown that in the presence of sodium alcoholates, two CCl₃ groups are replaced, and the corresponding 2,4-dialkoxy-6-alkyl-sym-triazines are formed. The products of partial replacement, 2-alkoxy-4-trichloromethyl-6-alkyl-sym-triazines, were synthesized by heating the initial sym-triazines with alcohols in the presence of tertiary amines.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 12, pp. 1674–1677, December, 1984.     

Double perovskite oxides Sr_2Mg_(1-x)Fe_xMoO(6-δ) for catalytic oxidation of methane

The double perovskite oxides Sr2Mg1-xF exMoO6-δ were investigated as catalysts for the methane oxidation.The structural properties of catalysts were characterized in detail by X-ray diffraction,X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and X-ray absorption spectroscopy.The catalytic property was strongly influenced by the Fe substitution.The relation between catalytic performance and the degree of Fe substitution was examined with regard to the structure and surface characteristics of the mixed oxides.The Fe-containing catalysts exhibited higher activity attributable to the possible(Fe2+,Mo6+) and (Fe3+,Mo5+)valency pairs,and the highest activity was observed for Sr2Mg0.2Fe0.8MoO6-δ.The enhancement of the catalytic activity may be correlated with the Fe-relating surface lattice oxygen species and was discussed in view of the presence of oxygen vacancies.     

Enantioselective synthesis of alpha-ionone derivatives using an anti S(N)2' substitution of functionalized zinc organometallics

[reaction: see text] The allylic substitution of sterically hindered (2-iodocycloalkyl)phosphates proceeds with complete anti S(N)2' stereoselectivity with mixed diorganozincs of the type RZnCH(2)SiMe(3) in the presence of CuCN.2LiCl. Only the group R of the copper-zinc reagent is transferred in the allylic substitution. This method was used to prepare odoriferous substances such as (R)-alpha-ionone in 97% ee and (R)-dihydro-alpha-ionone in 98% ee.     

Synthesis and evaluation of potent, highly-selective, 3-aryl-piperazinone inhibitors of protein geranylgeranyltransferase-I

A series of compounds based on the carboxyl-terminal CAAL sequence of PGGTase-I substrates was designed and synthesized. Using piperazin-2-one as a semi-rigid scaffold, we have introduced critical pharmacophores in a well-defined arrangement to mimic the CAAL sequence. High potency and exceptional selectivity were obtained for inhibition of PGGTase-I with structures such as 45 and 70. Potency of this series of GGTIs was dependent on the presence of an L-leucine residue with a free carboxyl terminus, as well as an S configuration of the 3-aryl group. The selectivity was significantly enhanced by 5-methyl substitution on the imidazole ring and fluorine substitution on the 3-aryl group. Modification of the 6-position of the piperazinone scaffold was found to be unfavorable. Compounds 44 and 69, the corresponding methyl esters of 45 and 70, were found to selectively block processing of Rap1A by PGGTase-I in whole cells with IC(50) values of 0.4 microM and 0.7 microM respectively.     

Quantum yields of the initiation step and chain propagation turnovers in S(RN)1 reactions: photostimulated reaction of 1-iodo-2-methyl-2-phenyl propane with carbanions in DMSO

Neophyl radicals were generated by photoinduced electron transfer (PET) from a suitable donor to the neophyl iodide (1, 1-iodo-2-methyl-2-phenylpropane). The PET reaction of 1 with the enolate anion of cyclohexenone (2) afforded mainly the reduction products tert-butylbenzene (5) and the rearranged isobutylbenzene (6), arising from hydrogen abstraction of the neophyl radical (15) and the rearranged radical 16 intermediates, respectively. The photostimulated reaction of 1 with 2 in the presence of di-tert-butylnitroxide, as a radical trap, afforded adduct 10 in 57% yield. The photoinduced reaction of the enolate anion of acetophenone (3) with 1 gave the substitution products 11 (50%) and 12 (16%), which arise from the coupling of 3 with radicals 15 and 16, respectively. The rate constant obtained for the addition of anion 3 to radical 15 was 1.2 x 10(5) M(-)(1) s(-)(1), by the use of the rearrangement of this radical as a clock reaction. The anion of nitromethane (4) was almost unreactive at the initiation step, but in the presence of 2 under irradiation, it gave high yields (67%) of the substitution product 13 and only 2% of the rearranged product 14. When the ratio of 4 to 1 was diminished, it was possible to observe both substitution products 13 and 14 in 16% and 6.4% yields, respectively. These last results allowed us to estimate the coupling rate constant of neophyl radicals 15 with anion 4 to be at least of the order of 10(6) M(-)(1) s(-)(1). Although the overall quantum yield determined (lambda = 350 nm) for the studied reactions is below 1, the chain lengths (Phi(propagation)) for the reaction of 1 with anions 3 and 4 are 127 and 2, respectively.

Microwave assisted synthesis of novel functionalized hydantoin derivatives and their conversion to 5-(Z) arylidene-4H-imidazoles

2-(Alkyl-1-yl)-1H-imidazol-5(4H)-ones 5a-n were synthesized via nucleophilic substitution of the methylsulfanyl group of the corresponding 2-(methylthio)-1H-imidazol-5(4H)-ones 3a-c with suitably substituted secondary amines. The starting 2-thioxo- imidazolidin-4-ones 2a,2b were prepared by condensation of thiohydantoin and benzo[b]-thiophene-3-carbaldehyde or benzofuran-3-carbaldehyde under microwave irracdiation (MW) conditions. 2-Methylthio derivatives 3a-c were prepared by treatment of 2a-b with methyl iodide in the presence of aqueous sodium hydroxide.

Deoxydative thiation of 3-substituted pyridine N-oxides with 4-methoxytoluene-α-thiol: A divergent route to pyridinethiols

Synthesis of 3-substituted 2-pyridinethiols was achieved by thiation of pyridine N-oxides with 4-methoxytoluene-α-thiol in the presence of diethylcarbamoyl chloride followed by cleavage of the resulting sulfides. The ease of substitution was shown to be affected by nucleophilicity of the N-oxide oxygen. Addition of zinc bromide to the reaction, a need for triethylamine, decreased most of the yield for thiation products but the formation of 3-methoxy-2-methoxybenzylthiopyridine was only improved. A plausible mechanism of the substitution, particularly β-thiation to the N-oxide function, is discussed compared with the regiochemistry observed in the reaction with diethoxyphosphoryl chloride instead of diethylcarbamoyl chloride. The debenzylation to pyridinethiol was also found to be dependent on the electron-density in the pyridine ring.     

二苯并-18-冠-6的氯甲基化及其在交联聚乙烯醇微球表面的固载化
