Novel heterocyclic systems. Part 26. The synthesis and 13C-NMR assignment of 1,8-diazaphenoxathiin

Although the syntheses of numerous diazaphenoxathiins have been reported, only two dipyrido[1,4]-oxathiin systems are thus far known, viz. the 1,7- and 1,9-diazaphenoxathiins. The synthesis of a third, 1,8-diazaphenoxathiin via the condensation of the dianion of 3-hydroxypyridine-2(1H)-thione with 4-nitro-3-chloropyridine 1-oxide is now described. A minor quantity of 1,7-diazaphenoxathiin was obtained as a byproduct of the reaction. Complete assignment of the ¹³C-nmr spectrum was achieved and this conclusively differentiates the 1,8-compound from the 1,7-isomer.     

Chemistry of the phenoxathiins and isosterically related heterocycles. XVII. First synthesis of a benzoxathiinopyridazine and the determination of structure by 13C-NMR: 1-Methoxy-3,4-diazaphenoxathiin

The reaction of 5-methoxy-3,4-dichloropyridazine with the disodium salt of o-mercaptophenol leads to the formation of 1-methoxy-3,4-diazaphenoxathiin as the sole product of the reaction. The structure of the isolated product was confirmed by ¹³C-nmr spectroscopy, with the development of arguments to discriminate the isolated compound from 4-methoxy-1,2-diazaphenoxathiin, the other product possible in this reaction. Mechanistic considerations in the formation of the isolated product are discussed.

1-Methylphenanthro[3,4-b]thiophene: Determination of the tertiary structure in solution and in the crystalline state by NMR spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction

1-Methylphenanthro[3,4-b]thiophene was prepared by the photocyclization of 1-(4′-methyl-2′-thienyl)-2-(2″-naphthyl)ethene. The ¹H and ¹³C-nmr spectra were assigned using two-dimensional ¹H/¹³C heteronuclear chemical shift correlation and relayed coherence transfer (RELAY) experiments. From nuclear Overhauser difference spectra, the H11-C1 methyl-H intramolecular distance was determined to be 2.10 Å. The molecule crystallized from chloroform in the monoclinic system, space group P2₁/c. A total of 3536 unique reflections were measured and the structure was solved by direct methods and refined to a final R = 0.049. The molecule is helical with both chiral forms observed in the crystal. The H11-C1 methyl-H distance in the crystal was 2.12(3)Å in excellent agreement with the distance measured in solution by NOE techniques.

Some sulfides were oxidized to the corresponding sulfoxides and sulfones or brominated with bromine. Among the synthesized compounds, the coumarin derivative, 4-methyl-7-(1,2,3,4,4-pentachlorobuta-1,3-dien-1-ylsulfanyl)-2H-chromen-2-one showed fluorescence properties. 1,1′,1″-[3,4-Dichlorobuta-1,3-diene-1,1,4-triyltris(sulfanediyl)]tris(2,4-dimethylbenzene) reacted with potassium tert-butoxide in petroleum ether to afford a mixture of isomeric 1,1′,1″-[4-chlorobuta-1,2,3-triene-1,1.4-triyltris(sulfanediyl)]tris(2,4-dimethylbenzene) and 1,1′,1″-[2-chlorobut-1-en-3-yne-1,1,4-triyltris(sulfanediyl)]-tris(2,4-dimethylbenzene).

Diastereoisomers of 4-hydroxy-2-methyl-3,4-dihydro-2H-pyrano[2,3-b]quinolines 8 and 9 were synthesized starting from the appropriate 2-chloroquinoline-3-carboxaldehydes 1. The relative configuration of the 1,3-diol intermediates 4 and 5 was determined on the basis of the ¹³C-nmr spectra of their acetonides. The relative stereochemistry of title compounds was confirmed by using homonuclear NOE and selective decoupling experiments, as well as by analysis of the coupling patterns observed in their ¹H-nmr spectra.

The synthesis of the 2-azaphenoxathiin ring system via the intermediary 2-azaphenoxathiin 2-oxide is described. Complete assignment of the ¹³C-nmr spectrum is reported, based on the observed heteronuclear ¹H-¹³C spin-couplings of the system and calculated chemical shifts as assignment criteria.

Chemistry of the phenoxathiins and isosterically related heterocycles. XV. Synthesis of 1-nitrophenoxathiin and the relation of the 13C-Nmr chemical shift of the alpha-carbon to the dihedral angle

The synthesis of the previously unreported 1-nitrophenoxathiin is described. The ¹³C-nmr spectrum of the title compound is assigned based on chemical shift additivities and ¹H-¹³C spin-coupling constants. From the observed ¹³C-nmr chemical shift of the alpha-carbon the title compound was predicted to have a molecular dihedral angle, Ø = 143.3°, based on a recently described interrelation between the alpha-carbon ¹³C-nmr chemical shift and the dihedral angle. Independent measurement of the dihedral angle in a crystallographic study has shown that there are two independent molecules contained in the assymetric unit which posess dihedral angles, Ø = 145.7 and 163.4°, the former in excellent agreement with the angle predicted by the assigned ¹³C-nmr data.     

Complete assignment of the 1h- and 13c-nmr spectra of [1]benzothieno[2,3-c]naphtho[1,2-h]quinoline and [1]benzothieno[2,3-c]naphtho[1,2-h][1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]quinoline. Concerted use of two-dimensional nmr techniques

The ¹H- and ¹³C-nmr spectra of [1]benzothieno[2,3-c]naphtho[1,2-h]quinoline and [1]benzothieno[2,3-c]-naphtho[1,2-h][1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]quinoline were totally assigned using a combination of two-dimensional nmr techniques. After correlation of the proton signals by a COSY spectrum and one-bond heteronuclear correlation, complete assignment of the ¹H- and ¹³C-nmr spectra of the novel heterocyclic compounds required the application of long-range CH coupling information particularly for quarternary resonance assignments and the orientations of individual spin systems relative to one another.     

Reaction between o-diamino-1,2,6-thiadiazine 1,1-dioxides and aldehydes to give fused imidazo and pyrazino derivatives

Reaction between 3,4,5-triamino-1,2,6-thiadiazine 1,1-dioxides and aldehydes, in acetic acid or DMF, under anhydrous conditions, leads to a mixture of imidazo[4,5-c]- and pyrazino[2,3-c]-1,2,6-thiadiazine derivatives. The ratio of both compounds depends on the nature of the aldehydes used. The same reaction, in the absence of solvent, affords, only pyrazinothiadiazine derivatives. The uv, ¹H- and ¹³C-nmr data of the new compounds are reported.     

Chemistry of the phenoxathiins and isosterically related heterocycles. XVI. The synthesis and molecular structure of 3-azaphenoxathiin: Evidence in support of factors responsible for control of the dihedral angle

The synthesis of the 3-azaphenoxathiin ring system and its molecular structure are reported. Based on ¹³C-nmr chemical shift additivities associated with the insertion of an annular nitrogen atom and the observed ¹³C-nmr shift of Cα, the title compound was predicted to have a dihedral angle θ = 160.2°. The observed dihedral angle from the crystal structure was found to be θ = 167.07° which is in reasonably good agreement with the predicted value. It is proposed that the position of the annular nitrogen atom is solely in-control of the observed dihedral angle.
