Design and synthesis of self-included pillar[5]arene-based bis-[1]rotaxanes

Two strategies for the design of new pillar[5]arene-based mechanically self-interlocked molecules (MSMs) are reported here. The first strategy is based on the construction of an intermediate pseudo[1]rotaxane followed by the desired bis-[1]rotaxane. The other one is based on the construction of the desired bis-[1]-rotaxane directly via a condensation reaction through host-guest interactions between a mono-functionalized pillar[5]arene and the axle. This compound has interesting self-assembly properties in methanol and some extended applications of this compound will be reported in the near future.     

Synthesis and NMR spectral assignments of novel 1,4-benzothiazepine-5-one derivatives

The one-pot reaction between 2-aminobenzo[d]isothiazol-3-one and alkyl propiolates in presence of triphenylphosphine leads to the corresponding alkyl 4-amino-5-oxobenzo[f][1,4]thiazepine-3-carboxylates. A plausible mechanism of the reaction is proposed and unambiguous evidence for the structures is obtained from a detailed magnetic resonance spectral analysis. 1D and 2D NMR spectra such as COSY, ¹H-¹³C and ¹H-¹⁵N HSQC and HMBC heteronuclear correlations and an INADEQUATE experiment are reported and discussed.     

Synthesis and 1H, 13C and 15N NMR characterisation of substituted Pyrazolo[4,3-c]quinolines and related compounds

A wide range of novel and known alkyl substituted pyrazolo[4,3-c]quinolines and related compounds were synthesized. Some of these compounds can undergo tautomerism and differences have been noted in the structural assignments already published. For each of these compounds, a complete assignment was made using ¹H, ¹³C and ¹⁵N one- and two-dimensional NMR measurements, including NOESY, COSY, ¹H-¹³C HSQC and ¹H-¹³C HMBC. ¹H-¹⁵N HMBC NMR has proved crucial in determining the relevant tautomeric and protonated state of the compounds.     

Facile one-pot synthesis of new [1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyridine derivatives by ultrasonic irradiation

Herein, we report an ultrasonic promoted facile and convenient “one-pot” procedure for the synthesis of new [1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyridine derivatives 3, 4 and 5, using Amberlite IRA-400, in short reaction times and high yields and its comparison with classical reaction conditions. The structures of new compounds were assigned with the help of analytical ¹H, ¹³C NMR, and mass spectral studies.     

Azines and azoles: CXXVII. 5-phenyl-7<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>-[1,2,4]triazolo[5,1-<Emphasis Type="Italic">b</Emphasis>][1,3]thiazin-7-ones: Synthesis and structure

Reactions of 1-acylthiosemicarbazides with methyl 3-phenylprop-2-ynoate provide a new one-step procedure for the synthesis of 2-substituted 5-phenyl-7H-[1,2,4]triazolo[5,1-b][1,3]thiazin-7-ones. The product structure was determined on the basis of scalar spin-spin coupling constants ² J(¹H-¹⁵N) and ³ J(¹H-¹⁵N) in the ¹H and ¹⁵N NMR spectra and was proved by X-ray analysis. Methyl 3-phenylprop-2-ynoate reacted with 1-acetylthiosemicarbazide in ethanol in the presence of H₂SO₄ to give 3-methyl-7-phenyl[1,2,4]triazolo[3,4-b]-[1,3]thiazin-5-one as the only product.     

Synthesis,Antibacterial, and Antifungal Activities of Imidazo[2,1-c][1,2,4]triazoles and 1,2,4-Triazolo[4,3-a]pyrimidinones

A straightforward method has been developed for the synthesis of 1-phenyl-imidazo [2,1-c][1,2,4]triazole derivatives 5a–j and 1-phenyl-[1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]pyrimidinones derivatives 6a–g starting from 5-amino-1-phenyl[1,2,4]triazole and p-toluenesulfonic acid (PTSA). This methodology affords a number of 1-phenyl-imidazo [2,1-c][1,2,4]triazoles 5a–j and 1-phenyl-[1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]pyrimidinones 6a–g in reasonable yields and short reaction times. The structures of all new compounds were elucidated using infrared, ¹H and ¹³C NMR, and high-resolution mass spectrometry. Some of the newly synthesized compounds were screened for their antimicrobial activity.

One‐Pot Synthesis of Hydroxy Pyrazolo[1,2‐a][1,2,4]triazoles and Their Dehydration Using Recyclable Ionic Liquids as Reaction Media

An eco‐friendly, simple, and efficient one‐pot new procedure has been developed for the synthesis of hydroxy phenylhexahydropyrazolo[1,2‐a][1,2,4]triazoles by condensation of 4‐phenylurazole, aldehydes, and ethyl/methyl acetoacetate using ionic liquid [bmim]BF₄ in presence of l ‐proline at 80°C. The hydroxy pyrazolo[1,2‐a][1,2,4]triazoles could be dehydrated in presence of [bmim]HSO₄ to give corresponding phenyltetrahydropyrazolo[1,2‐a][1,2,4]triazoles in high yields. High yields, less reaction time, operational simplicity, and recyclability of reaction media are the advantages of this protocol.     

A convenient,rapid microwave assisted synthesis of some novel 3-[(4-chloro-3-methylphenoxy)methyl]-6-aryl-5,6-dihydro-[1,2,4]triazolo[3,4-b][1,3,4]thiadiazoles using acidic alumina

A facile synthesis of 3-[(4-chloro-3-methylphenoxy)methyl]-6-aryl-5,6-dihydro-[1,2,4]triazolo[3,4-b][1,3,4]thiadiazoles 3a–n has been achieved by microwave promoted condensation of 3-mercapto-4-amino-5-[(4-chloro-3-methylphenoxy)methyl]-4H-1,2,4-triazole 1 with various aromatic aldehydes 2a–n in presence of catalytic amount of p-TsOH (para-toluenesulphonic acid). The structures of 3a–n are supported by IR and ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectral data.     

Synthesis, structure, and photoluminescence of 5-phenyl-2-pyridyl-5,6-dihydro[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-c]quinazolines

The reactions of salicylaldehyde and benzoic aldehyde with 5-(2-aminophenyl)-3-pyridyl-1H-1,2,4-triazoles were studied. The reaction products are 5-phenyl-2-pyridyl-5,6-dihydro[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-c]quinazolines.

Practical synthesis of d-[1-C]mannose, l-[1-C] and l-[6-C]fucose

The chemical synthesis of ¹³C-labeled mannose and fucose is important for the preparation of molecular probes used in the conformational study of the oligosaccharide portions of glycoproteins. A new method for the synthesis of the title [1-¹³C]-labeled compounds via the corresponding olefin compounds, which are in turn derived from d-mannitol or l-arabinose by efficient introduction of ¹³C, by the Wittig reaction using Ph₃P¹³CH₃I and n-BuLi, is described. The introduction of ¹³CH₃I to produce the [1-¹³C]- and [6-¹³C]-labeled compounds was accomplished in 62%, 56%, and 71% yields, respectively. All mannose and fucose protons, from H-1 to H-6, were observed by the HMQC-TOCSY technique using 1:1 mixtures of [1-¹³C]- and [6-¹³C]-labeled compounds.     

Condensed Isoquinolines. 15. Synthesis of 5,10-Dihydro[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-b]isoquinolines and Related Spiranes

Condensation of o-bromomethylphenylacetonitrile with arylcarbohydrazides gave, depending on the reaction conditions, 2-arylcarboxamido-1,4-dihydroisoquinoline-3(2H)-imine hydrobromides or 2-aryl-5,10-dihydro[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-b]isoquinolines. Analogous condensation of 4-(2-bromomethylphenyl)tetrahydro-2H-pyran-4-carbonitrile and 1-(2-bromomethylphenyl)-1-cyclopentanecarbonitrile with arylcarbohydrazides gave respectively 2-aryl-2,3,5,6-tetrahydrospiro[4H-pyran-4,10'(5'H)-[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-b]isoquinolines and 2-arylspiro[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5,b]isoquinoline-10(5'H)-1'-cyclopentanes, derivatives of new spirane heterocycles. The reaction with condensing agents of 3-imino-2,2',3,3'5',6'-hexahydrospiro[isoquinoline-4(1H),4'-4H-pyran]-2-amine and 3-imino-2,3-dihydrospiro[isoquinoline-4(1H),1'-cyclopentane]-2-amine hydrobromides, synthesized from the corresponding bromo nitriles and hydrazine, may serve as an alternative route for the synthesis of these compounds. The structure of obtained triazoloisoquinolines was established from IR, ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectra. An X-ray crystallographic study of 2-phenylspiro[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-b]isoquinoline-10(5H),1'-cyclopentane was carried out.     

Differentiation between [1,2,4]triazolo[1,5‐a] pyrimidine and [1,2,4]triazolo[4,3‐a]‐ pyrimidine regioisomers by 1H?15N HMBC experiments

The condensation of malonoaldehyde derivatives with either a 3‐amino‐[1,2,4]‐triazole or a 3,5‐diamino‐[1,2,4]‐triazole precursor was studied. In agreement with previous reports, two different bicycles, namely, bearing the regioisomeric [1,2,4]triazolo[1,5‐a]pyrimidine ( 1 ) or[1,2,4] triazolo [4,3‐a]pyrimidine ( 2 ) structural surrogates, could be obtained. We found that, depending on the triazole precursor, only one regioisomer resulted, either of the 1 or 2 series. We also observed that these two structural surrogates could be unambiguously differentiated by indirectly measuring their ¹⁵N chemical shifts by ¹H? ¹⁵N HMBC experiments. The occasional conversion of [1,2,4]triazolo[4,3‐a]pyrimidines to the [1,2,4]triazolo[1,5‐a]pyrimidine counterparts could be unequivocally determined by ¹⁵N NMR data.

Synthesis of New Functionally Substituted 9-Azabicyclo[4.2.1]nona-2,4,7-trienes by Cobalt(I)-Catalyzed [6π + 2π]-Cycloaddition of N-Carbocholesteroxyazepine to Alkynes

Catalytic [6π + 2π]-cycloaddition of N-carbocholesteroxyazepine with functionally substituted terminal alkynes and 1,4-butynediol was performed for the first time under the action of the Co(acac)₂(dppe)/Zn/ZnI₂ three-component catalytic system. The reaction gave previously undescribed but promising 9-azabicyclo[4.2.1]nona-2,4,7-trienes (in 79–95% yields), covalently bound to a natural metabolite, cholesterol. The structure of the synthesized azabicycles was confirmed by analysis of one- and two-dimensional (¹H, ¹³C, DEPT ¹³C, COSY, NOESY, HSQC, HMBC) NMR spectra.     

Synthesis and characterization of a new pillar[5]arene-based [1]rotaxane

In this study, we reported the synthesis of three kinds of mono-functional pillar[5]arene derivatives PRI, PRII and R and their structures were studied by 1D and 2D NMR spectra and mass spectra. The 2D NMR spectra including ¹H-¹³C HSQC, ¹H-¹H COSY and NOESY spectra indicated that PRI and PRII are both stable self-included pseudo[1]rotaxanes in CDCl₃. These original structures are promising compounds for the design of pillar[5]-based [1]rotaxane. And the results showed that R could exist stable in CDCl₃ and DMSO because of the coordination of N-H?O hydrogen bonding interaction and C-H?π interaction.     

Synthesis of nitrogen-containing heterocycles. 5. A new route to 5-amino-[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a][1,3,5]triazine derivatives

Treatment of certain diaminomethylenehydrazones 1 of aromatic carbonyl compounds with ethyl N-cyanoimidate ( 2 ) in acetonitrile in the presence of a tertiary amine at room temperature gives the corresponding amino(N-cyanoiminomethyl)aminomethylenehydrazones 3 in high yields. The intermediate 3 can readily be cyclized to the corresponding 5-amino-2,3-dihydro[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a][1,3,5]triazines 4 in moderate to good yields by brief heating in acetonitrile. When the reaction of diaminomethylenehydrazones 1 with ethyl N-cyanoimidate ( 2 ) is performed at reflux temperature in the presence of a tertiary amine, 5-amino-2,3-dihydro[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]1,3,5]triazines 4 can be directly obtained in moderate yields. The yields of triazolotriazine produced by the one-step synthesis are generally comparable or even higher than the overall yields from the two-step procedure.     

Synthesis of 8-alkylthio- and 8-selanyl-3-tert-butylpyrazolo[5,1-c][1,2,4]triazines

Abstract

Interaction of 8-lithio-3-tert-butyl-4-oxopyrazolo[5,1-c][1,2,4]triazin-1-ide with elemental sulfur or selenium in THF with further in situ alkylation at –97?°C followed by warming to room temperature furnished a series of 3-tert-butyl-8-X-pyrazolo[5,1-c][1,2,4]triazin-4(6H)-ones (X?=?n-BuS, n-BuSe, MeSe, PhCH₂S) in good yields. 8,8'-Diselanediylbis(3-tert-butylpyrazolo[5,1-c][1,2,4]triazin-4(1H)-one) was also isolated as a by-product in these reactions. One-pot interaction of the n-BuSe substituted derivative with diborane/boron trifluoride led to reduction of the 1,2,4-triazine core and partial elimination of the alkylselanyl moiety. The structures of the synthesized products were established on the basis of IR, ¹H, 13C, 2D HMBC ¹H–⁷⁷Se NMR and high resolution mass spectra, as well as X-ray single crystal diffraction analyses. Two of the prepared compounds were also tested for antimicrobial and antifungal activities.     

Synthesis of 6-hydrazino-3,4-dimethyl-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine and its application for the construction of a pyrazolo[4,3-e][1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]pyrimidine system

A new representative of heterocyclic hydrazines, viz., 6-hydrazino-3,4-dimethyl-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine (3) was synthesized from diacetyl ketene N,S-acetal. A condensation of hydrazine 3 with amide acetals or aldehydes and subsequent cyclization furnished pyrazolo[4,3-e][1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]pyrimidines, whose structure was confirmed by ¹H, ¹³C, and ¹H/¹⁵N HMBC NMR spectroscopy. Reactions of hydrazine 3 with acetylacetone, ethyl acetoacetate, diethyl malonate, and acetic anhydride were studied.     

Synthesis and structure of β-aryl-α-nitroacrylates

The method for preparation of ethyl α-nitrocinnamates by nitroacetic acid ester alkenylation with aromatic aldehydes in the presence of acetic acid and β-alanine has been modified. Structures of the prepared compounds have been proved by electronic, IR, ¹H, and ¹³C-{¹H} NMR spectroscopy (including heteronuclear correlation experiments ¹H-¹³C HMQC and ¹H-¹³C HMBC). In solution these compounds exist in the form of Z-isomer; the Z?E isomerization is observed in the case of the compound containing strong electron-donor group [N(CH₃)₂] at benzene ring.     

2-aryl(hetaryl)-4H-[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]benzimidazoles

2-(4-Methylphenyl)-4H-[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]benzimidazole and its previously unknown 2-(2-furyl)- and 2-(2-thienyl)-substituted analogs were synthesized by cyclization of benzimidazole-1,2-diamine with the corresponding carboxylic acid chlorides. The IR, ¹H, ¹³C, and ¹⁵N NMR, and mass spectra of the cyclization products in combination with the results of quantum-chemical calculations of NMR chemical shifts showed radical differences of [1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]benzimidazoles having no substituent on N⁴ from the recently reported low-melting products of oxidation of 2-amino-1-arylmethylideneaminobenzimidazoles with (diacetoxy-λ³-iodanyl)benzene, which, as we believe, were erroneously assigned analogous structure.     

Synthesis and structure elucidation of 25,26,27,28-tetramethylcalix[4]arene tetraketone using 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopies

The ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectra of the new calix[4]arene-based tetraketone were completely assigned by one- and two-dimensional homo- and heteronuclear experiments (¹H–¹H COSY, ¹H–¹³C HMQC, and HMBC) at 400 and 100 MHz, respectively, at 25 °C standard pulse sequence. ¹H and ¹³C spectra were measured at room temperature for 25,26,27,28-tetramethylcalix[4]arene tetraketone (1). ¹³C{¹H}, DEPT and NMR techniques were used to distinguish the methyl, methylene and methine carbon resonance signals of calix[4]arene 1. Correlation of 1D (¹H, ¹³C{¹H}, DEPT) and 2D (HMQC and HMBC) NMR data was used to completely assign various overlapping and broad signals of calix[4]arene 1. Heteronuclear multibond correlation (HMBC) studies were used to completely assign various carbon resonances. Our results show that the conformation of calix[4]arene 1 in the solution is very similar to the cone conformation reported in the literature.
