Fluoroindenes. 12. Interaction of perfluorinated 3-methyl- and 3-ethylindenes, 1-methylene-, 1-ethylidene-, and 1-vinylindans with ammonia and aliphatic amines

In the reactions with ammonia and alkylamines, perfluoro-3-ethylindene is more reactive than perfluoro-1-ethylideneindan, whereby the last two compounds undergo mutual conversion in the presence of F^–. In the interaction of perfluoro-1-ethylideneindan with aqueous amines, products of the substitution of the vinyl F atom in the initial compound are obtained; in the case of dry amines in the presence of CsF, the products of the substitution of the F atom at the double bond of perfluoro-3-ethylindene are chiefly obtained. The monoamino derivatives, which contain an available atom of H, are converted to the disubstituted derivatives by the action of an excess of the amines. Both the amine and the hydroxy anion may thereby emerge as the nucleophile in the reaction of 2-aminoperfluoro-3-ethylindene, as well as perfluoro-1-ethylideneindan, with aqueous dialkylamines. The perfluoro-1-vinylindan and aqueous NH₃ yield 1-(aminocyanomethylene)octafluoroindan and 2-amino-3-(iminocyanomethyl)hexafluoroindene; and perfluoro-1-methyleneindan yields 2-amino-3-cyanohexafluoroindene. The last is formed together with 2-aminoperfluoro-3-methylindene in the reaction of perfluoro-3-methylindene with aqueous NH₃.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 8, pp. 1856–1865, August, 1990.     

Domino reaction of 3-(2-formylphenoxy)propenoates and amines: a novel synthesis of 1,4-dihydropyridines from salicaldehydes, ethyl propiolate, and amines

A novel synthesis of Hantzsch-type N-substituted 1,4-dihydropyridines from salicaldehydes, ethyl propiolate, and amines has been developed. Salicaldehydes were treated with ethyl propiolate in the presence of N-methylmorpholine to give ethyl 3-(2-formylphenoxy)propenoates. Three equivalents of ethyl 3-(2-formylphenoxy)propenoates reacted with 1 equiv of amines under trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) catalyst to furnish the corresponding N-substituted 1,4-dihydropyridines in good to excellent yields, recovering the starting material salicaldehydes. A possible mechanism for the domino process was proposed. Furthermore, the products can be easily derived via further transformations and three of them exhibited strong fluorescence (Phif = 0.36-0.63).     

Synthesis of 3-(aminooxoethyl)-6-methyl-1-(thiethan-3-yl)-pyrimidine-2,4-(1H,3H)-diones

A new approach to prepare 2-chloroacetamides has been developed, based on the reaction of chloroacetyl chloride with excess of secondary amines. Alkylation of 6-methyl-1-(thiethan-3-yl)pyrimidine-2,4(1H,3H)-dione with the synthesized 2-chloroacetamides in the presence of potassium carbonate has afforded N ³-acetamido-substituted 6-methyl-1-(thiethan-3-yl)pyrimidine-2,4(1H,3H)-diones.     

A convenient approach towards 2- and 3-aminobenzo[b]thiophenes

Reaction of 1-(2-chloro-5-nitrophenyl)ethanone via Willgerodt-Kindler route with primary or secondary amines and sulfur allows a simple, efficient one-pot synthesis of 3-aminobenzo[b]thiophenes. Base-catalyzed transformation of 4-(2-chloro-5-nitrophenyl)-1,2,3-thiadiazole in the presence of primary and secondary amines offers a convenient approach towards 2-aminobenzo[b]thiophenes.     

Synthesis of 1- and 2-(2-quinolyl)azulenes by the friedländer reaction of acetylazulenes

1-Acetylazulene and 3-methyl-, 3-ethyl-, and 3-propyl-substituted 1-acetylazulenes were prepared by the reaction of 3-acetyl-2H-cyclohepta[b]furan-2-one with in situ generated enamines from aldehydes and amines. These four 1-acetylazulenes reacted with 2-aminobenzaldehyde and its 4,5-dimethoxy- and 4,5-methylenedioxy-substituted derivatives in the presence of sodium ethoxide to afford twelve 1-(2-quinolyl)azulenes. In a similar manner, three 2-(2-quinolyl)azulenes were also prepared from 2-acetylazulene.     

Trisubstituted 1,3,5-Triazines. 5. Reaction of 2,4,6-Tris[di(tert-butoxycarbonyl)nitromethyl]-1,3,5-triazine with Nucleophiles

The reaction of 2,4,6-tris[di(tert-butoxycarbonyl)nitromethyl]-1,3,5-triazine with ammonia, amines, and hydrazine has been studied. It was possible to substitute one of the di(tert-butoxycarbonyl)nitromethyl groups in this compound in the presence of ammonia, primary aliphatic amines, dimethylamine, and morpholine. The reaction with hydrazine leads to both mono- and disubstituted products. A double dealkoxylation occurs in the presence of diethylamine to give the bis(dimethylammonium) salt of 2,4-bis(tert-butoxycarbonylnitromethyl)-6-[di(tert-butoxycarbonyl)nitromethyl]-1,3,5-triazine.     

Synthesis and antimalarial effects of N,N-dialkyl-6-(substituted phenyl)-1,2,4,5-tetrazin-3-amines

The synthesis of a series of N,N-dialkyl-6-(substituted phenyl)-1,2,4,5-tetrazin-3-amines (IV) by two routes is described. The first route (Scheme I) involved the oxidative cyclization of formazans (II) to 3-bromo-6-(substituted phenyl)-1,2,4,5-tetrazines (III), followed by treatment with amines. The second (Scheme II) utilized the treatment of 3-(methylthio)-6-(substituted phenyl)-1,2,4,5-tetrazines (VII) with amines to provide the desired products. The intermediate 3-(methylthio)-6-(substituted phenyl)-1,2,4,5-tetrazines (VII) were obtained by thiobenzoylation of hydrazinecarbohydrazonothioic acid methyl ester with [[(substituted phenyl)thioxomethyl]thio]-acetic acids (V) to afford the 1,2-dihydro-3-(methylthio)-6-(substituted phenyl)-1,2,4,5-tetrazines (VI). Oxidation with bromine in acetic acid provided the desired intermediates. The target 6-(substituted phenyl)-1,2,4,5-tetrazin-3-amines (IV) displayed modest antimalarial activity.     

Reduction of 5-(bromomethyl)-1-pyrrolinium bromides to 2-(bromomethyl)pyrrolidines and their transformation into piperidin-3-ones through an unprecedented ring expansion-oxidation protocol

3,3-Dialkyl-5-(bromomethyl)-1-pyrrolinium bromides, prepared via bromocyclization of N-(2,2-dialkyl-4-pentenylidene)amines by means of bromine in dichloromethane, were reduced to 4,4-dialkyl-2-(bromomethyl)pyrrolidines for the first time using borane dimethyl sulfide in dichloromethane. Furthermore, the latter 2-(bromomethyl)pyrrolidines were transformed into the corresponding piperidin-3-ones through an unprecedented ring expansion-oxidation protocol in dimethylsulfoxide in the presence of potassium carbonate. Reduction of 5,5-dialkylpiperidin-3-ones by means of sodium borohydride in methanol afforded 5,5-dialkyl-3-hydroxypiperidines in good yields.

Cyclopropanone derivative 1-(arylsulfonyl)cyclopropanol 4 simply prepared from the reaction of cyclopropanone ethyl hemiacetal 3 with sodium arylsufinate in the presence of formic acid is a new cyclopropanone equivalent to react with terminal acetylenes, and disubstituted amines in water catalyzed by AuCl₃, to provide an unprecedented synthesis of 1-alkynyl cyclopropylamines in moderate yields.     

Liquid-crystalline behaviour of 4-(ω-aminoalkyloxy)-4'-cyanobiphenyls and their side chain epoxy polymers

Liquid-crystalline side chain polymers were obtained from the ring-opening reaction of epoxy resin with mesogenic amines, 4-(ω-aminoalkyloxy)-4'-cyanobiphenyl. The amines with the alkyl group ranging from five to nine methylene units were synthesized, and were found to exhibit an enantiotropic nematic phase. Polymerization of these amines with ethylene glycol diglycidyl ether at 100°C yielded the polymers of low glass transition and melting temperatures. The mesomorphic properties of the amines and the resulting epoxy polymers are reported.

The opening of the two epoxide rings with a range of amines takes place with total regioselectivity and high yields, in the presence of LiClO4. A mechanism to explain this transformation is proposed.

Palladium-catalyzed synthesis of 2-(aminomethyl)indoles from ethyl 3-(o-trifluoroacetamidophenyl)-1-propargyl carbonate

[reaction: see text] The palladium-catalyzed reaction of ethyl 3-(o-trifluoroacetamidophenyl)-1-propargyl carbonate with piperazines in the presence of Pd(PPh(3))(4) in THF at 80 degrees C affords 2-(piperazin-1-ylmethyl)indoles in excellent yields. Good to excellent yields are also obtained with other secondary amines.     

Tele-substitution reactions in the naphthalene series : The behaviour of 1,4 - dimethyl - 2 - nitro - 3 - phenylsulphonyl - and 2,3 - bisphenylsulphonyl - 1,4 - dimethyl - naphthalene towards sodium arenethiolates and secondary aliphatic amines

1,4 - Dimethyl - 2 - nitro - 3 - phenylsulphonylnaphthalene (2) reacts with sodium benzenethiolate in DMSO at 120° to give 1 - methyl - 2 - nitro - 4 - phenylthiomethylnaphthalene (4) [tele-substitution product (TSP) of the phenylsulphonyl group] and 1,4 - dimethyl - 3 - phenylsulphonyl - 2 - phenylthionaphthalene (5) [normal substitution product (NSP) of the nitro group]. The analogous reactions of 2 with sodium 2,4,6- trimethylbenzenethiolate and of 2,3 - bisphenylsulphonyl -1,4 - dimethylnaphthalene (3) with sodium benzenethiolate or aliphatic amines give only TSPs of the phenylsulphonyl group. In the case of the reaction of 2 with aliphatic amines both the possible TSPs (tele-substitution of the phenylsulphonyl or of the nitro group) were isolated in 9:1 relative yield. All the data show that the phenylsulphonyl is a leaving group far better than the nitro in such tele-substitution processes. The mechanism previously proposed to account for the formation of TSPs from 1,4-dimethyl - 2,3 - dinitronaphthalene is strongly supported by the obtained results.

Lactam and amide acetals. 69. Synthesis and properties of 3-(aminomethylene)-2-indolinone derivatives

Oxindole derivatives reacted with the diethyl acetals of dimethylformamide and dimethylacetamide to give the corresponding derivatives of 3-(aminomethylene)-, (aminoethylidene)-, and (ethoxyethylidene)-2-indolinone. These products were then easily converted to N-aryl- and N-alkylaminomethyleneoxindoles upon treatment with aryl or alkyl amines. The alkylation of N,N-dimethylaminomethylene-2-indolinones by dimethyl sulfate and triethyloxonium tetrafluoroborate, and the reactions of the resulting methyl sulfates and tetrafluoroborates with nucleophilic reagents were studied. The configuration of the 3-(aminomethylene)-2-indolinone derivatives prepared at the enamine C=C double bond was investigated by NMR. The free energies of activation for the cis—trans isomerization were determined in a number of cases.For Communication 68, see [1].Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 9, pp. 1190–1198, September, 1991.
