Synthesis of Bisthiacalix[4]arene: Reaction of Piperazine with Monoacrylamide Derivative of <Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis>-<Emphasis Type="Italic">tert</Emphasis>-Butylthiacalix[4]arene

The reaction of acryloyl chloride with the monoamine derivative of p-tert-butylthiacalix[4]arene was used to synthesize p-tert-butylthiacalix[4]arene monoacrylamide in the 1,3-alternate conformation. The effect of the nature of the amine on the result of its Michael reaction with the synthesized p-tert-butylthiacalix[4]arene monoacrylamide was studied. The latter was reacted with piperazine to obtain bisthiacalix[4]arene with the macrocyclic fragments in the 1,3-alternate conformation.

Mono-, di-, and tetrasubstituted derivatives of p-tert-butylthiacalix[4]arene containing tert-butylcarbamate, tert-butylcarbonate, and tert-butyl fragments have been prepared for the first time.

Synthesis of Tetraazide Derivatives of <Emphasis Type="Italic">p-tert</Emphasis>-Butylcalix[4]arene Using Copper-Catalyzed Nucleophilic Aromatic Substitution

Aromatic azido derivatives of p-tert-butylcalix[4]arene have been obtained for the first time using copper-catalyzed nucleophilic aromatic substitution of azide anion for bromide in 5,11,17,23-tetrabromo- 25,26,27,28-tetrabuthoxycalix[4]arene in a dioxane–water (3: 1) solvent mixture with N,N-dimethylethylenediamine as a stabilizing ligand for copper(I).

Stereochemistry of dihydroxylation of <Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-arylbicyclo[2.2.1]-hept-5-ene-<Emphasis Type="Italic">endo</Emphasis>- and -<Emphasis Type="Italic">exo</Emphasis>-2,3-dicarboximides

Stereochemistry of the oxidation of N-arylbicyclo[2.2.1]hept-5-ene-endo-and-exo-2,3-dicarboximides at the double bond with peroxyacetic acid generated in situ in the presence of sulfuric acid and with an anhydrous dioxane solution of peroxyacetic acid was studied. In both cases, the reaction was stereospecific, regardless of the substituent in the N-aryl group and configuration of the imide ring, but the reaction direction depended on the presence of water in the system. In the first case, the corresponding trans-5,6-dihydroxy derivatives were formed, while in the second, exo-5,6-epoxy derivatives. The oxidation of N-arylbicyclo[2.2.1]-hept-5-ene-endo-and-exo-2,3-dicarboximides with a solution of potassium permanganate in aqueous acetone gave the corresponding N-aryl-cis-5,6-dihydroxybicyclo[2.2.1]heptane-endo-and-exo-2,3-dicarboximides. The exo,cis,exo and exo,cis,endo configurations of the synthesized compounds were determined by ¹H NMR spectroscopy.

6-Allylsulfanyl-1-arylpyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-4(5H)-ones react with iodine and sulfuric acid to give angular pyrazolothiazolopyrimidine derivatives.
