Reactions of <Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-and <Emphasis Type="Italic">C</Emphasis>-Alkenylanilines: VII. Synthesis of Indole Heterocycles from Products of Reaction between <Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-Mesyl-2-(1-alken-1-yl)anilines and Halogens

N-Mesyl-2-(1-methyl-1-butenyl)-6-methylaniline reacted with Br₂ to afford N-mesyl-2-(3-bromo-1-penten-2-yl)aniline that under treatment with NH₃ or amines underwent cyclization into N-mesyl-7-methyl-3-methylene-2-ethylindoline. The reaction of N-mesyl-2-(1-methyl-1-buten-1-yl)-4-methyl- and 2-(1-methyl-1-buten-1-yl)aniline with Br₂ gave rise to the corresponding N-mesyl-2-(2-bromo-1-methyl-1-buten-1-yl)anilines. Under the similar conditions N-tosyl-2-(1-cyclohexen-1-yl)aniline was converted into N-tosyl-2-(6-bromo-1-cyclohexen-1-yl)aniline that under treatment with NH₃ furnished N-tosyl-1,2,3,9a-tetrahydrocarbazole. The reaction of N-mesyl-1,2,3,9a-tetrahydrocarbazole with CuBr₂ in MeOH afforded N-mesyl-4-methoxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydrocarbazole. N-Mesyl-6-methyl-2-(1-cyclopenten-1-yl)aniline in reaction with Br₂ in the presence of NaHCO₃ was oxidized into the corresponding cyclopentenone, and with NBS it gave N-mesyl-2-(2-bromo-1-cyclopenten-1-yl)aniline.__________Translated from Zhurnal Organicheskoi Khimii, Vol. 41, No. 5, 2005, pp. 730–737.Original Russian Text Copyright © 2005 by Gataullin, Sotnikov, Spirikhin, Abdrakhmanov.     

Synthesis and Transformations of Two Types of 4-Phosphorylated Aldehydes of the Oxazole Series

Available N-(1,2,2,2-tetrachloroethyl)dichloroacetamide selectively reacts with trialkyl phosphites and triphenylphosphine, which was used for preparing polycentered electrophilic agents unusually reacting with piperidine and morpholine in the presence of water to give in high yields 4-dialkoxyphosphoryl- or 4-triphenylphosphonio-substituted oxazole-2-carbaldehydes containing piperidine or morpholine moiety in the 5-position. Their structure was determined by spectroscopy and also by chemical transformations into phenylhydrazones, thiosemicarbazones, aminals, and other functional derivatives of these two types of phosphorus-containing aldehydes of the oxazole series.

Acylation of 4-amino-3-hydroxy-1-naphthalenesulfonic acid ( 3 ) with benzoyl chloride in pyridine gave pyridinium 3-hydroxy-4-(N-benzoylamino)-1-naphthalenesulfonate ( 12 ) which was converted by thionyl chloride followed by diethylamine into N,N-diethyl-2-phenylnaphth[1,2-d]oxazole-5-sulfonamide ( 14 ). The naphthoxazole moiety was hydrolyzed with potassium hydroxide and the resulting N,N-diethyl-4-amino-3-hydroxy-1-naphthalenesulfonamide ( 11 ) coupled with 1-alkyl-3-methyl-5-pyrazolones. The 2-phenylnaphth[1,2-d]oxazole intermediates and various by-products were investigated.

New Chiral Diamines of the Dioxolane Series: (+)-(4S,5S)-2,2-Dimethyl-4,5-bis(diphenylaminomethyl)- 1,3-dioxolane and (+)-(4S,5S)-2,2-Dimethyl-4,5-bis(methyl- aminomethyl)-1,3-dioxolane

The reaction of sodium diphenylamide with 2,2-dimethyl-4,5-bis(tosyloxymethyl)-1,3-dioxolane gave (+)-(4S,5S)-2,2-dimethyl-4,5-bis(diphenylaminomethyl)-1,3-dioxolane, which was brought into complex formation with cobalt chloride. Treatment of 2,2-dimethyl-4,5-bis(tosyloxymethyl)-1,3-dioxolane with sodium N-methylanilide resulted in cleavage of the SÄO bond in the p-toluenesulfonate moiety with formation of N-methyl-N-phenyl-p-toluenesulfonamide and 4,5-bis(hydroxymethyl)-2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxolane disodium salt.

A highly enantioselective synthesis of optically active N-tosyl-4-alkyl-1,3-oxazolidin-2-ones based on the asymmetric hydrogenation of the trisubstituted exocyclic double bond of N-tosyl-4-alkylidene-1,3-oxazolidin-2-ones under the catalysis of neutral [Rh(COD)Cl]₂ (COD=1,5-cyclooctadiene) and (S)-(+)-DTBM-SEGPHOS was developed. The utility of this highly enantioselective reaction was exemplified by the synthesis of optically active amino acids, amino alcohols, and piperidine derivatives.     

Irreversible enzyme inhibitors. XCI. candidate active-site directed irreversible inhibitors of thymidylate synthetase. II. 2-amino-6-methyl-5-(p-tolylsulfonamidopropyl)-4-pyrimidinols with N-substituents on the sulfonamide moiety

Three derivatives of 2-amino-6-methyl-5-(p-tolylsulfonamidopropyl)-4-pyrimidinol (I) with N - substituents on the sulfonamide group, namely bromoacetamidopropyl (XVI), m-bromoacetamidobenzyl (XXIVa), and p-bromoacetamidobenzyl (XXIVb), were synthesized as candidate active-site-directed irreversible inhibitors of thymidylate synthetase. The bromoacetamidopropyl derivative, (XVI), the p-bromoacetamidobenzyl derivative (XXIVb), and iodoacetamide showed irreversible inhibition of thymidylate synthetase, but XXIVa did not. Since iodoacetamide did inactivate the enzyme, but XXIVa did not, it cannot be ascertained whether XXIVb and XVI inactivate the enzyme by a random bimolecular mechanism or by the active-site-directed mechanism without evaluation of additional candidate inhibitors. Two synthetic routes were employed. The key intermediates for the bromoacetamidobenzyl sulfonamides (XXIV) were the corresponding nitrobenzyl sulfonamides (XXI); the latter were best prepared by reductive alkylation of 2-amino-5-aminopropyl-6-methyl-4-pyrimidinol (XXV) with a nitrobenzaldehyde followed by tosylation. The key intermediate for XVI was a toluenesulfonamide with a carbobenzoxyaminopropyl substituent on the nitrogen (XIV); the latter was synthesized via N-carbobenzoxy-N'-tosyl-1,3-diaminopropane (XI).

Treatment of 2-aryl-2,3-dihydro-4H-[1,3]thiazino[3,2-a]benzimidazol-4-ones with alkalies leads to formation of 3-(benzimidazol-2-ylsulfanyl)-3-arylpropionic acids, their reaction with methyl p-toluenesulfonate yields 1-(3-methyl-2-thioxo-2,3-dihydro-1N-benzimidazol-1-yl)-3-phenyl-2-propen-1-one, and oxidation with hydrogen peroxide gives benzimidazole-2-sulfonic acid and 3-aryl-2-propenoic acids.__________Translated from Zhurnal Organicheskoi Khimii, Vol. 41, No. 1, 2005, pp. 109–114.Original Russian Text Copyright © 2005 by Britsun, Esipenko, Chernega, Lozinskii.

A five-step synthesis of 4-chloromethyl- and 4-mesyloxymethyl-5-tosyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyrimidin-2-ones has been developed. The reaction of N-[(2-benzoyloxy-1-tosyl)ethyl]urea with sodium enolates of α-tosylketones followed by cyclization-dehydration, and debenzoylation gave 4-hydroxymethyl-5-tosyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyrimidin-2-ones, which were transformed into the 4-chloromethyl- or 4-mesyloxymethyl-derivatives. Treatment of the latter with nucleophilic reagents, such as sodium cyanide, sodium diethyl malonate, sodium thiophenolate, or potassium phthalimide, afforded the corresponding 4,7-disubstituted 6-tosyl-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-1,3-diazepin-2-ones as a result of ring expansion. The effect of the leaving group and the substitution at the position C6 on the reactivity of the pyrimidines is discussed.

2-(Benzenesulfonyl)-4-tosyl-1,3-thiazole was synthesized starting from the available 2,2-dichloro-1-tosylethenyl isothiocyanate. The product is a pronounced electrophilic substrate feasible for investigation of the order of nucleophilic substitution at the C², C⁴, and C⁵ centers of the thiazole ring. Different nucleophilic agent first attack the C² atom. After that S-nucleophiles react with C⁵, while O-and N-nucleophiles, with C⁴.     

Reactions of 4-tosyl-2-phenyl-5-chloro-1,3-thiazole with N-, O-, and S-nucleophiles

The accessible two-center electrophilic substrate 4-tosyl-2-phenyl-5-chloro-1,3-thiazole reacts regioselectively with N-, O-, and S-nucleophiles to eliminate a chloride ion. The analog of this substrate, 4-tosyl-2-phenyl-5-p-chlorophenylsulphonyl-1,3-thiazole, reacts with “soft” and “hard” nucleophiles differently: with the participation of C⁵ or C⁴ center, respectively, that seems to be caused by the principle of “symbiosis” in the transition state.

By reaction of Z-3-(2-naphthyl)-3-chloro-2-propenal with semicarbazide hydrochloride and thiosemicarbazide the corresponding semicarbazone and thiosemicarbazone were obtained that underwent a heterocyclization into a pyrazole system with elimination of amide moieties and with migration of the naphthyl fragment into the position 4 of the pyrazole ring. The alkylation of 4-(2-naphthyl)pyrazole synthesized with 2-nitropentachloro-1,3-butadiene afforded 1,1-bis[4-(2-naphthyl)-pyrazol-1-yl]-2-nitrotrichloro-1,3-butadiene.__________Translated from Zhurnal Organicheskoi Khimii, Vol. 41, No. 5, 2005, pp. 753–755.Original Russian Text Copyright © 2005 by Vashkevich, Potkin, Kozlov.
