Novel route of the reaction of trifluoromethyl-containing N-methyl(4-ethoxyphenyl)imidazolidin-2-ones with urea

The reactions of perfluorobiacetyl with N-(4-ethoxyphenyl)- and N-methylurea afforded cis- and trans-isomers of 1-methyl-4,5-dihydroxy-4,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)imidazolidin-2-one and 1-(4-ethoxyphenyl)-4,5-dihydroxy-4,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)imidazolidin-2-one in a yield of ～60—75%. N-Alkyl(aryl)bis(trifluoromethyl)imidazooxazoles were obtained as unexpected products in the reaction of 1-alkyl(aryl)-4,5-dihydroxy-4,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)imidazolidin-2-ones with urea in dimethylacetamide. The reaction is accompanied by the rearrangement of imidazolidin-2-ones to N-alkyl(aryl)-5,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)hydantoins with CF₃ group migration from position 5 to position 4 of the starting heterocycle. A similar rearrangement is observed on boiling of the studied imidazolidin-2-ones in dimethylacetamide. The molecular structures of 3-(4-ethoxyphenyl)-5,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)imidazolidine-2,4-dione and 6-(4-ethoxyphenyl)-3a,6a-bis(trifluoromethyl)tetrahydroimidazo[4,5-d]oxazole-2,5-dione were studied by X-ray diffraction analysis.

The regiospecific synthesis of a novel series of nine 4-phenyl- and 3-alkyl(aryl)-5-hydroxy-5-trifluoromethyl-4,5-dihydro-1H-1-tosylpyrazoles (pyrazolinyl p-tolyl sulfones), as well as their antimicrobial activity against yeast, such as fungi, bacteria, and alga are reported. The 1-p-tosyl-2-pyrazolines were obtained from the cyclocondensation reaction of 3-phenyl- and 4-alkyl(aryl)-1,1,1-trifluoro-4-alkoxy-3-alken-2-ones, [where alkyl = H, Me and aryl are -C₆H₅, 4-CH₃C₆H₄, 4-OCH₃C₆H₄, 4-FC₆H₄, 4-ClC₆H₄, 4-BrC₆H₄,] with p-tosylhydrazine in a yield of 58-92% when toluene was employed as solvent. The best activity was obtained when the structure possessed a 4-fluorophenyl substituent linked at the carbon-3 of the pyrazoline ring. Subsequently, the dehydration reaction of 3-(4-fluorophenyl) substituted 2-pyrazoline with thionyl chloride/pyridine in benzene as solvent furnished the corresponding 1H-pyrazole in only a moderate yield (49%).     

A novel synthesis of aryl tethered imidazo[4,5-b]pyrazin-2-ones through in situ ring construction and contraction

An innovative synthesis of aryl tethered 1,3-dimethylimidazo[4,5-b]pyrazin-2-ones 4 and 6 has been delineated through base catalyzed ring transformation of 6-aryl-4-(piperidin-1-yl)-2H-pyran-2-one-3-carbonitriles 1 and methyl 6-aryl-4-methylsulfanyl-2H-pyran-2-one-3-carboxylates 5 with 7-acetyl-1,3-dimethyllumazine 2 with subsequent ring contraction of the fused pyrimidine to an imidazole ring. An additional product, methyl [6-(1,3-dimethyl-2-oxo-2,3-dihydro-1H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyrazin-5-yl)-4-thiophen-2-ylpyran-2-ylidene]acetate 8b, was also isolated from the reaction of 5 and 2, as a minor constituent.

The oxidation of 3-aminothieno[2,3-b]pyridine-2-carboxamides with commercially available bleach leads to the formation of dimeric pyrrolo[2′,3′:4,5]thieno[2,3-b]pyridines (7a,14a-diamino-7,14-bis(aryl)-7,7a,14,14a-tetrahydro-6H,13H-pyrido[3″″,2″″:4?,5?]thieno[2?,3?:4″,5″]pyrrolo-[3″,4″:3′,4′]pyrrolo[2′,3′:4,5]thieno[2,3-b]pyridine-6,13-diones) in moderate yields (37–52%).     

New Cycloadditon Reaction of 2-Chloroprop-2-enethioamides with Dialkyl Acetylenedicarboxylates: Synthesis of Dialkyl 2-[4,5-bis(alkoxycarbonyl)-2-(aryl{alkyl}imino)-3(2H)-thienylidene]-1,3-dithiole-4,5-dicarboxylates

The 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of 1,2-dithiole-3-thiones with alkynes to form 1,3-dithioles is one of the most studied reactions in this class of polysulfur-containing heterocycles. Nucleophilic substitution of chlorine atoms in dimethyl 2-(1,2-dichloro-2-thioxoethylidene)-1,3-dithiole-4,5-dicarboxylate, which was obtained by addition one molecules of DMAD to 4,5-dichloro-3H-1,2-dithiole-3-thione, led to a series of 2-chloro-2-(1,3-dithiol-2-ylidene)ethanethioamides. Cycloaddition reaction of 2-chloro-2-(1,3-dithiol-2-ylidene)ethanethioamides with activated alkynes led to the unexpected formation of 2-(thiophen-3(2H)-ylidene)-1,3-dithioles via new intermediate, 1-(1,3-dithiol-2-ylidene)-N-phenylethan-1-yliumimidothioate. Structure of dimethyl 2-(4,5-bis(methoxycarbonyl)-2-(phenylimino)thiophen-3(2H)-ylidene)-1,3-dithiole-4,5-dicarboxylate was finally proven by single crystal X-ray diffraction study. Optimized reaction conditions and a mechanistic rationale for the 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of novel intermediate are presented.

An efficient method for the preparation of 2‐substituted 4‐aryl‐4,5‐dihydro‐3,1‐benzoxazepine derivatives under mild conditions has been developed. The reaction of 2‐(2‐aminophenyl)ethanols 1 with acid chlorides in the presence of excess Et₃N in THF at room temperature gave the corresponding N‐acylated intermediates 2 , which were dehydrated by treatment with POCl₃ to give 2‐substituted 4‐aryl‐4,5‐dihydro‐3,1‐benzoxazepines 3 in a one‐pot reaction.

3-Alkyl(Aryl)-4-amino-4,5-dihydro-1H-1,2,4-triazol-5-ones (2) reacted with 2-furoyl chloride and thiophene-2-carbonyl chloride to afford the corresponding 3- alkyl(aryl)-4-(2-furoylamino)-4,5-dihydro-1H-1,2,4-triazol-5-ones (3) and 3-alkyl(aryl)- 4-(2-thienylcarbonylamino)-4,5-dihydro-1H-1,2,4-triazol-5-ones (4), respectively. The new compounds synthesized were characterized by using IR, 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR and UV spectral data together with elemental analysis. In addition, to investigate the effects of solvents and molecular structure upon acidity, compounds 3 and 4 were titrated potentiometrically with tetrabutylammonium hydroxide in four non-aqueous solvents (isopropyl alcohol, tert-butyl alcohol, N,N-dimethylformamide and acetonitrile). The half-neutralization potential values and the corresponding pKa values were determined for all cases.     

Preparation of aminotriazole-thione derivatives from n-aryl-n-carboxyethyl-β-alanines

Depending on the substituents in the aryl moiety, the fusion of N-aryl-N-ethoxycarbonyl-β-alanines with thiocarbohydrazide gives di- or monotriazole derivatives, namely, 4-amino-(2-{[2-(4-amino-5-thioxo-4,5-dihydro-1H-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)ethyl]anilino}ethyl)-4,5-dihydro-1H-1,2,4-triazole-5-thiones, 1-[2-(4-amino- 5-thioxo-4,5-dihydro-1H-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)ethyl]-2,3-dihydroquinolin-4(1H)-ones, 4-amino-3-[2-(4-methylanilino))ethyl]-4,5-dihydro-1H-1,2,4-triazole-5-thione and 4-amino-3-[2-(4-ethoxyanilino)-ethyl]-4,5-dihydro-1H-1,2,4-triazole-5-thione. A ditriazolethione derivative was also obtained from the diethyl ester of N-ethoxycarbonyl-N-(4-ethoxyphenyl)- β-alanine.     

A new Kdo derivative for the synthesis of an inner-core disaccharide of lipopolysaccharides and lopooligosaccharides

Methyl (7,8-di-O-benzoyl-4,5-O-isopropylidene-3-deoxy-d-manno-2-oct-ulopyranoside)onate was found to be a useful new intermediate in the synthesis of an inner-core oligosaccharide of lipooligosaccharides and lipopolysaccharides produced by gram-negative bacteria. This intermediate could be converted to the corresponding glycosyl fluoride and 4,5-diol acceptor with ease. Syntheses of dimeric Kdo, O-(sodium 3-deoxy-α-d-manno-2-octuropyranosylonate)-(2-4)-sodium (allyl 3-deoxy-α-d-manno-2-octuropyranoside)onate, and O-(sodium 3-deoxy-α-d-manno-2-octuropyranosylonate)-(2-8)-sodium (allyl 3-deoxy-α-d-manno-2-octuropyranoside)onate were successfully demonstrated.

A convenient synthesis of N,N-disubstituted 4H-3,1-benzothiazin-2-amines from aryl(2-isothiocyanatophenyl)methanones using a two-pot procedure has been developed.
