Summary Condensation of cyano acid hydrazide1 with cyclopentanone in refluxing ethanolic piperidine yields hydrazone2. With mixtures of aliphatic aldehydes and different active methylene reagents,2 reacts to 1,2,4-triazolo[1,5-a]pyridines (8a–f). Compound2 also reacts with arylidenes9a–g to give triazolopyridines10a–g. Reaction of2 with aromatic aldehydes affords compounds13a–c. Diazotation of2 with aryldiazonium chloride in ethanol at 0 °C leads to the azo adducts15a–d. The thieno-1,2,4-triazolopyridine16 is obtained by reaction of8a with elementary sulfur.16 undergoes cycloaddition with -nitrostyrene, maleic anhydride, N-arylmalemide, and acrylonitrile yielding the isoquinolines21–24.

Untersuchungen über Chinone, 9. Mitt. Über Acetylderivate vonp-Indazolchinonen

Summary Acetylation of the indazolquinones1a (6-anilino-),b (6-p-toluidino-),c (6-N-methylanilino-),g (6- or 5-methylthio-), andk (benz[f]-) by heating with acetic anhydride yields the 2-acetylindazolquinones4a, b, c, g, andk. Reductive acetylation of the quinones1c, g, h/h ₁(6/5-methyl),k and — for structure elucidation — their 1-N- (2c) and 2-N- (3c, 3e)-methyl derivatives with acetic anhydride, zink powder, and sodium acetate gives the 1-acetyl-(7c, g, h/h ₁,k), resp. 1-methyl- (8c), and 2-methyl- (9c, e) diacetoxyindazoles. In case of1k, two diacetyl derivatives were isolated in addition to the already known triacetyl derivative7k, regardless of the conditions chosen. Acetylation of the intermediate product of the reaction from phenylthio-benzoquinone with diazomethane also yields a triacetyl-hydroquinone (7f). UV/Vis, IR, and¹H NMR spectroscopy were used for structure determination. Comparison of the UV/Vis spectra of the acetyl derivatives4 with those of1, 2, 3, and of compounds7 with those of analog substituted indazols shows that the acetyl group is located in position 2 with compounds4 and in position 1 with compounds7. By means of¹H NMR spectra the position of the acetyl group can be determined by the effect of the carbonyl group on the proton in position3.

Zur Kenntnis der Reaktionsfähigkeit des unsubstituierten Thiomorpholins und alkylsubstituierter Thiomorpholine, 5. Mitt.

The syntheses of 4-amino-thiomorpholine-1,1-dioxide (12) and 4-hydroxythiomorpholine-1,1-dioxide (11) from 1,4-thioxane-1,1-dioxide (1) by pressureless reaction of1 with hydrazine hydrate and hydroxylamine, resp. is described. In analogy various other N-substituted thiomorpholine-1,1-dioxides are obtained with prim. amines (2–8) and diamines (9, 10).12 condensates with aldehydes (14–24) and ketones (25–29); reaction of12 with1 gives N,N-dithiomorpholine-1,1-dioxide (13). Acylation of12 with monochlorides (30–35), dichlorides of dicarboxylic acids (36–40) and carboxylic acid anhydrides (41–43) proceeds smoothly. Compounds38–43 are cyclic imides. Isocyanates give with12 the expected compounds45–48.12 reacts with chlorinated 1,3,5-triazines to compounds which can be purified only with difficulty (49–51). Quaternization of the N-substituted thiomorpholine-1,1-dioxides with benzylbromide (52, 53) and methyliodide (54, 55) is possible. Ethylenbromide reacts with9 to give the bis quaternization product56. Further reactions of thiomorpholine-1,1-dioxide (57) with sulfuryl chloride (58), bromo cyanide (59), allylic chloride (60), chloro acetonitrile (61) and trityl chloride (62) are described.11 reacts with carboxylic acid chlorides (63–65) and iso-cyanates (66–70) to yield the expected compounds. Propylene oxide gives with12 the addition product71; sulfur dioxide is added to11 to thiomorpholine-1,1-dioxide sulfonic acid (72).

2-Cyclopropyliden-1,3-cycloalkandione als Zwischenstufen einer nukleophilen Substitution am Dreiring

Reaction of morpholinobicycloalkyl-dimedone4 C with various CH-acids3 leads to a substitution of theexo-dimedone unit as a consequence of a strong preference of theexo-leaving group in a bicyclic compound of type4 and5, respectively. Dimedone (3 C) as a nucleophile, however, makes theexo substitution unproductive in4 C and allows the displacement of the morpholino moiety leading to12 C. Thus compounds12 C–12 F could be obtained directly from the N,O-acetal1 and the CH-acids3 C–3 F by a twofold substitution, the isolation of the monoalkylated compounds4 not being necessary. Formation of12 C–12 F involves aMichael addition of3 C–3 F to the unstable 2-Cyclopropylidene-1,3-cycloalkanedione intermediates7 C–7 F. Cyclopentanedione3 F as a CH-acid and1 gave the enamine17 F besides12 F. The Hexahydroazepino-N,O-acetal19 in this special case was superior leading exclusively to12 F.

     

Reaktionen mit cyclischen Oxalylverbindungen,XXIV. Zur Reaktion von 4-Benzoyl-5-phenyl-furan-2,3-dion mit Phenylhydrazonen bzw. Phenylhydrazin

4-Benzoyl-5-phenyl-furan-2,3-dione (1) reacts with various phenylhydrazones2 at 60–80°C to the pyrazole carboxylic acid3 a, which then can be decarboxylated to 4-benzoyl-1,5-diphenyl-pyrazole (5).1 and phenylhydrazine combine again yielding3 a as the main product and the isomeric pyridazinone6 as by-product. At higher temperatures (120–140°C) the reaction of1 with2 a leads to the formation of dibenzoyl acetic acid hydrazide derivatives8.The structures of all products were confirmed by IR, MS,¹⁵N- and¹³C-NMR spectroscopic measurements, in the case of the pyridazinone6 also by an X-ray study.6 crystallizes with one moleDMSO monoclinically in space group P 2₁/n (Nr. 14) with 4 molecules6 andDMSO per cell.The reaction pathways leading to the compounds3, 6 and8 are discussed.

With hydroxylamine, compounds1 and3–5 were transformed to the cycloalkane- and norbornane-condensed 1,2-oxazin-6-ones11–14. Transformation of3–5 led to thetrans-hexahydroanthrone17a and its methylene-bridged analogue24. From the stereoisomeric hexahydro-1(3H)-isobenzofuranones20 and21, the partly saturated anthrones were also prepared; the products (16b and17b) contain the methyl substituent in position 6. On reduction,16b yield the 2-methyloctahydroanthracene22. The structures of the compounds were proved by¹H and¹³C NMR spectroscopy, making use of NOE, DEPT, and CH-COSY techniques.
