The palladium-catalysed copper-free Sonogashira coupling of isoindoline nitroxides: a convenient route to robust profluorescent carbon-carbon frameworks

A series of novel acetylene-substituted isoindoline nitroxides were synthesised via palladium-catalysed copper-free Sonogashira coupling. These results demonstrate that the Sonogashira reaction is suitable for the generation of a wide range of aryl nitroxides of expanded structural variety. The novel aryl-iodide containing nitroxide, 5-iodo-1,1,3,3-tetramethylisoindolin-2-yloxyl, 3, was a key intermediate for this coupling, giving acetylene-substituted isoindoline nitroxides in high yield. Subsequent reaction of the deprotected ethynyl nitroxide 12 with iodinated polyaromatics furnished novel aromatic nitroxides with extended-conjugation. Such nitroxides have been described as profluorescent, as their quantum yields are significantly lower than those of the corresponding diamagnetic derivatives. The quantum yields of the naphthyl- and phenanthryl-acetylene isoindoline nitroxides (13 and 14) were found to be 200-fold and 65-fold less than the non-radical methoxyamine derivatives (23 and 24). Ethyne- and butadiyne-linked nitroxide dimers could also be synthesised by this cross coupling methodology.     

A Convenient and Facile Hantzsch Synthesis of Aryl Imidazo[1,2‐b]Isoxazolyl‐N‐aryl Thiazol Amines

The Hantzsch synthesis of novel aryl imidazo[1,2‐b]isoxazolyl‐N‐aryl thiazol amines 5 analogues were described. Reaction of 3‐aminoisoxazole 1 with substituted phenacyl bromides 2 in dry ethanol afforded the corresponding 6‐methyl‐3‐arylimidazo[1,2‐b]isoxazoles 3 in good yields. Compounds 3 on reaction with chloroacetyl chloride in 1,4‐dioxane furnished the corresponding 2‐chloro‐1‐(6‐methyl‐3‐arylimidazo[1,2‐b]isoxazol‐2‐yl)ethanones 4 . Compounds 4 on heating with N‐aryl thioureas in an oil bath underwent cyclization to afford the title compounds viz., imidazo[1,2‐b]isoxazolyl‐N‐aryl thiazol amines 5 in moderate to good yields by Hantzsch synthesis.

Ring closures from eneearbamoyl azides. Syntheses of tetrahydro-3-indazolinones and 4-imidazolin-2-ones

Reaction of phosgene with cyclohexylidene amines gives good yields of (1-eyclohexen-l-yl)-carbamoyl chlorides ( 1 ). Compound 1 can be converted to the corresponding eneearbamoyl azide ( 2 ), which on pyrolysis gives an improved synthesis of 1-substituted-4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-3-indazolinones ( 7 ). When 1 is substituted by an allylic rather than alkyl or aryl group, the major products are 4-imidazolin-2-ones ( 8 ) accompanied by only minor amounts of 7 . The thermolysis reaction has been extended to N-allylcarbamoyl azides in general, thus providing a new and facile synthesis for 1,4-disubstituted 4-imidazolin-2-ones (9). A tentative mechanism is advanced, involving intermediate azide addition to the allylic double bond.     

Synthesis of substituted 4-oxo-2-thioxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinazolines and 4-oxo-3,4-dihydroquinazoline-2-thioles

We have developed a liquid-phase synthesis of combinatorial libraries of new disubstituted 4-oxo-2-thioxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinazolines and trisubstituted 4-oxo-3,4-dihydroquinazoline-2-thioles. The former were prepared using two general procedures: (i) cyclization of substituted methyl anthranilates with isothiocyanates, or (ii) cyclization of substituted 2-(methylcarboxy)benzeneisothiocyanates with primary amines or hydrazines. 4-Oxo-3,4-dihydroquinazoline-2-thioles were prepared by S-alkylation of disubstituted 4-oxo-2-thioxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinazolines with alkyl or aryl halides. The hydrolysis of methyl benzimidazo[1,2-c]quinazoline-6(5H)-thione-3-carboxylate led to the corresponding acid. This acid was utilized in the synthesis of new benzimidazo[1,2-c]quinazoline-6(5H)-thione-3-carboxamide and S-substituted 6-mecaptobenzimidazo[1,2-c]quinazoline-3-carboxamide libraries.     

Homolytic substitutions in indolinone nitroxide radicals—III: Reactions with terbutoxy and methyl radicals

Nitroxide radicals 1a–c react with terbutoxy radical to form terbutoxy substituted radicals 2, 3 and 4. The reaction mechanism is interpreted in terms of homolytic substitution. The terbutoxy substituted nitroxides can be easily oxidized to quinoneimine N-oxides 6, 7, 8 and 9. The interpretation of the evolution of radicals 2, 3 and 4 in the reaction mixture is confirmed by experimental evidence. The reaction of nitroxide 1a–c with the methyl radical is also described.     

The reactions of 4-dicyanomethylene-2-phenyl-4H-1-benzopyran and some benzologs with nucleophiles

4-Dicyanomethylene-2-phenyl-4H-1-benzopyran (1) reacts with primary amines under mild conditions to give 4-imino-3-alkyl-5-alkylimino-2-phenyl-3,4-dihydro-5H-[1]benzopyrano[3,4-c]-pyridine derivatives which, in turn, are hydrolyzed with acid to 4-imino-3-alkyl-2-phenyl-3,4-dihydro-5H-[1]benzopyrano[3,4-c]pyridin-5-ones. When more vigorous conditions are employed for the reactions of 1 with primary amines, Dimroth rearrangements take place and the products are derivatives of 4-alkyl- (or aryl)amino-5-alkyl- (or aryl)imino-2-phenyl-5H-[1]benzopyrano-[3,4-c]pyridine. The latter compounds are hydrolyzed by acid to the corresponding 5-pyridone derivatives. The reaction of 1 with piperidine gives 2-phenyl-4-piperidyl-5H-[1]benzopyrano-[3,4-c]pyridin-5-one. Sodium methoxide reacts with 1 to give 3-cyano-2-methoxy-4-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-6-phenylpyridine. Two benzologs of 1 have been allowed to react with primary and secondary amines and the products are analogous to those obtained from 1 .     

Synthesis of quinoline derivatives using ketene dithioacetals

Methyl 3-(N-arylamino)-2-cyano-3-methylthioacrylates 3a-h , which are readily prepared by the reaction of the ketene dithioacetal, methyl 2-cyano-3,3-bis(methylthio)acrylate ( 1 ) with arylamines, was heated at reflux in diphenyl ether to give the corresponding 2-methylthio-4-hydroxyquinoline-3-carbonitriles 4a-h in 14–77% yields. The reaction of 1 with excess aryl amines in diphenyl ether at reflux gave also the corresponding 2-arylamino-4-hydroxyquinoline-3-carbonitriles 6a-d . The 2-methylthioquinoline-3-carbonitriles 4a-h , thus obtained, are useful intermediates for the synthesis of various quinoline derivatives.     

Synthesis of methyl esters of 5-amino-4-(substituted amino)-2-methylthio-7H-pyrrolo[2,3d]-pyrimidine-6-carboxylic acids

The optimum route for the synthesis of methyl esters of N-[(4-substituted amino)-5-cyano-2-methylthiopyrimidin-6-yl]amino acids (which are starting materials for preparing the methyl esters of the corresponding 5-amino-4-(substituted amino)pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidine-6-carboxylic acids) is via subsequent reactions of 4,6-dichloro-2-methylthiopyrimidine-5-carbonitrile with amines and methyl glycinate. In some examples, the reaction of methyl N-(4-chloro-2-methylthio-6-pyrimidinyl)aminoacetate with amines occurs to give the corresponding acid amides. The previously unknown synthesized derivatives of pyrimidin-6-yl amino acids and 4,5-diaminopyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidine- 6-carboxylic acids possess fungicidal properties.Vilnius University, Vilnius 2006, Lithuania.

In this study, methyl 2‐(quinolin‐8‐yloxy) acetate ( 2 ) obtained by reaction of 8‐hydroxyquinoline ( 1 ) with methyl chloroacetate was condensed with hydrazine hydrate to afford the carbohydrazide ( 3 ). Thio/semicarbazide derivatives ( 4a , 4b , 4c , 4d , 4e , 4f , 4g ) were obtained by treatment of the 3 with substituted phenyl iso/thioisocyanates. The 4a , 4b , 4c , 4d , 4e , 4f , 4g on acidic and basic intramolecular cyclization led to N‐(aryl)‐5‐((quinolin‐8‐yloxy)methyl)‐1,3,4‐oxa/thiadiazol‐2‐amines ( 5a , 5b , 5c , 5d , 5e , 5f , 5g ) and 4‐aryl‐5‐((quinolin‐8‐yloxy)methyl)‐2H‐1,2,4‐triazole‐3(4H)‐thiones ( 6a , 6b , 6c , 6d , 6e , 6f , 6g ), respectively. All the synthesized compounds were characterized by spectroscopic techniques and elemental analyses. The thiosemicarbazide ( 4c ) was also confirmed by X‐ray crystallography.

Reactions of isocyanates with methyl N‐(cyanothioformyl)anthranilate

The triethylamine‐catalyzed reactions of methyl N‐(cyanothioformyl)anthranilate ( 1 ) with isocyanates result in cyclization involving the cyano group to form methyl 2‐(4‐imino‐2‐oxo‐3‐substituted‐5‐thioxoimi‐dazolidin‐1‐yl)benzoates ( 4 ). Ring closure at the ester carbonyl to form 3‐aryl‐3,4‐dihydro‐4‐oxoquinazo‐line‐2‐carbonitriles ( 8 ) is observed when the S‐methyl derivative of 1 is allowed to react with aromatic amines.     

A recyclable perfluoroalkylated PCP pincer palladium complex

A new fluorous PCP pincer ligand has been coordinated to Ni(II), Pd(II) and Pt(II). The air stable palladium complex, which promotes Heck reactions between methyl acrylate and either aryl bromides or iodides, can be recovered intact by fluorous solid-phase extraction and was reused four times in the Heck reaction between methyl acrylate and 4-bromoacetophenone without loss in catalytic activity.     

Palladium catalysed 3-component cascade synthesis of bis(2-arylallyl) tertiary amines from aryl iodides,allene and primary amines

A 3-component cascade synthesis of bis(2-arylallyl) tertiary amines from aryl iodide, allene and primary aliphatic amines is described; chiral amines give analogous products with no detectable racemisation; mixtures of two different aryl iodides can be utilised to give the mixed tertiary amines as the sole, or major, product; the reaction is sensitive to stereoelectronic effects which lead to mono(2-arylallyl) secondary amines.

Factors affecting the rates of addition of free radicals to alkenes-determination of absolute rate coefficients using the persistent aminoxyl method

The rate of coupling of alkyl radicals with the persistent aminoxyl radical 1,1,3,3-tetramethylisoindolin-N-oxyl (1) has been used as a kinetic probe to determine absolute rate coefficients for the addition of alkyl radicals to methyl acrylate. The results are discussed in terms of the role of the structure and functionalization of the attacking radical on the rates of addition, particularly as they affect steric, polar, and enthalpic factors. The aminoxyl method is assessed against other methods for determining free radical addition rate coefficients.     

Multi‐step synthesis of benzopyranones via a key step involving reaction of the intermediate compound with phenyltrimethylammonium tribromide

Base catalysed condensation of a substituted 2‐hydroxyacetophenone with acetic anhydride and sodium acetate followed by cyclization of the intermediate with acid gave substituted 3‐acetyl‐2‐methyl‐4H‐1‐benzopyran‐4‐ones. These were then brominated with phenyltrimethylammonium tribromide (PTT) to yield the desired 3‐(2‐bromoacetyl)benzopyran‐4‐ones. The latter compound on treatment with primary and secondary aryl or alkyl amines, gave the corresponding benzopyran‐4‐one derivatives.     

Synthesis of derivatives of 4-alkylthiouracil,cytosine, pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidine,and pyrimido[4,5-d]pyrimidine from the N,S- and N,N-acetals of diacetylketene and isocyanates

The action of alkyl and aryl isocyanates on the N,S-acetals of diacetylketene leads to the formation of 4-alkylthio-5-acetyl-1-alkyl(aryl)-6-methyl-1H-pyrimidin-2-ones (derivatives of 4-alkylthiouracils). The reaction of the synthesized thiouracils with amines or the reaction of the N,N-acetals of diacetylketene (N,N-ADK) with an equi-molar amount of aryl isocyanates leads to the formation of substituted 4-amino-5-acetyl-1H-pyrimidin-2-ones (derivatives of cytosine). From the latter and isocyanates or directly from N,N-ADK and an excess of the isocyanate, derivatives of 4-methylene-1H,3H, 4H-pyrimido[4,5-d]pyrimidine-2,7-dione were obtained. The exception was the condensation of 3-[N-(4,6-dimethyl-2-pyrimidinyl)diaminomethylene]pentane-2,4-dione with aryl isocyanates, which led to 3H,8H-pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidine-2,5-diones.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 11, pp. 2593–2599, November, 1991.     

Preparation and Regioselective Metalation of Bis(trimethylsilyl)methyl‐Substituted Aryl Derivatives

A range of bis(trimethylsilyl)methyl‐substituted aryl derivatives was prepared by using a Kumada–Corriu cross‐coupling reaction. The regioselective metalation of the resulting bis(trimethylsilyl)methyl‐substituted aryl derivatives bearing this bulky silyl group allowed the generation of functionalized aromatics. A regioselective switch in the presence or in the absence of the bis(trimethylsilyl)methyl group has been demonstrated. Furthermore, this silyl group was converted into a formyl group or a styryl group, enhancing the scope of application of such bis(trimethylsilyl)methyl‐substituted arenes.
