Reactions of 1,2-diaza-1,3-dienes with thiol derivatives: a versatile construction of nitrogen/sulfur containing heterocycles

The synthesis of substituted 2,3-dihydro-1,4-thiazines, fused cycloalkyl-1,4-thiazines, 1,4-benzothiazines and fused cycloalkyl-1,4-benzothiazines by 1,4-addition of 1,2-aminothiols to 1,2-diaza-1,3-dienes bearing carboxylate, carboxamide, or phosphorylated groups and subsequent internal heterocyclization is described. The reaction of carboxylated 1,2-diaza-1,3-butadienes with 2-(butylamino)ethanethiol affords 1,4-thiazinan-3-ones. The solid-phase reaction of polymer-bound 1,2-diaza-1,3-butadienes with 1,2-aminothiols produces 2,3-dihydro-1,4-thiazines and 1,4-benzothiazines.

The oxadisilole fused benzotriazoles or naphthotriazole derivatives have been synthesized by 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of various azides with arynes generated in situ from benzobisoxadisilole or 2,3-naphthoxadisilole in good yields under mild conditions.     

Synthesis of carbocyclic and heterocyclic fused quinolines by cascade radical annulations of unsaturated N-aryl thiocarbamates,thioamides, and thioureas

[reaction: see text] Tandem radical cyclizations of suitably substituted N-aryl thiocarbamates, thioamides, and thioureas are induced by exposure to tris(trimethylsilyl)silane (TTMSH) and UV light and provide furoquinolines, isofuroquinolines, cyclopentaquinolines, indoloquinolines, and related ring systems. The intermediacy of an alpha-thioalkylamino radical, which is the synthetic equivalent of an imidoyl radical, is invoked.     

Effect of water addition on the coupling of homopolymers by click chemistry

Homopolymers bearing terminal azide and alkyne groups can be coupled via click chemistry to yield diblock copolymers. When performed in solvents that dissolved both homopolymers, the click reaction was found in this study to be inefficient, probably due to the embedding of the reactive end groups inside the random coils of the polymers. The efficiency was only slightly affected by the addition of a small amount of water into the reaction mixture. However, the reaction efficiency increased dramatically near the water volume fraction where one or both of the reacting polymers began to precipitate. Further increases in water content caused the polymer(s) to undergo macroscopic phase separation and the click reaction efficiency decreased once again. A possible explanation for the observed effect of water on the polymer coupling reaction is proposed. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Polym Sci Part A: Polym Chem, 2010     

Study on the antioxidant activity and quantification of thioamides based on nitrogen five-membered heterocycles by the kinetic technique

The antioxidant activity of heterocyclic thioamides based on imidazole, triazole, tetrazole, thiazole, thiazoline, and thiadiazole is estimated by spectrophotometry using the rate constant of reaction with the chromogenic radical 2,2′-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl. The rate constant of direct transfer of a hydrogen atom to the radical in carbon tetrachloride is maximal for 1-methylimidazoline-2-thione. The protective antioxidant effect of the preparations in ethanol falls down abruptly from 4-phenylthiazoline-2-thione (k = 1.06 × 10⁴ M⁻¹min⁻¹) to the thioamides based on triazole and thiazoline (k ∼ 20 M⁻¹min⁻¹). In acetonitrile, thiazole derivatives show the most substantial antioxidant activity, k = n ×10⁴ M⁻¹min⁻¹, which goes down to zero if the aromaticity of the heterocycle is broken. As established, for the pseudo first order reaction between thioamides and the chromogenic radical, the reaction rate linearly depends on the concentration of thioamides. A spectrophotometry kinetic method for the quantification of heteroaromatic thioamides is elaborated.     

Fused‐ring nitrogen and sulfur heterocycles by a tandem SN2‐michael addition reaction

A tandem S_N2‐Michael addition reaction has been developed for the synthesis of cis‐ and trans‐fused nitrogen and sulfur heterocycles from the cis and trans isomers of ethyl (±)‐(2E)‐3‐[2‐(iodomethyl)cyclo‐hexyl]‐2‐propenoate. Octahydro‐1H‐isoindole‐1‐acetic acid and octahydrobenzo[c]thiophene‐1‐acetic acid derivatives have been prepared and their stereochemistries elucidated using NMR and X‐ray crystallo‐graphic methods. Cyclization substrates for both the cis‐ and the trans‐fused rings are readily available in four steps from known compounds. Yields for the cyclization range from 80‐85% and stereochemical selec‐tivities with respect to the side chain vary from 12.5‐16:1 for the cis‐fused structures to 6‐7.5:1 for the trans‐fused structures. Steric interactions in the transition states for ring closure are proposed to rationalize the observed preferences.     

Kinetics and equilibrium constants of some pentacyanoferrate(II) complexes of nitrogen and sulfur containing heterocycles

The kinetics of the substitution reactions of Fe(CN)₅H₂O³⁻ ion with a series of nitrogen and sulfur containing heterocycles were studied in aqueous media. In the presence of excess ligand, varied over a large range of concentrations, second-order rate constants were calculated at μ = 0.100 M NaClO₄. Activation parameters for the formation reactions were found, ΔH*ast; and ΔS*, 28 ± 6 kJ/mol and 135±20 J/mol, respectively. The results are interpreted as being consistent with dissociative, SN₁ mechanism. The kinetics of formation and dissociation were studied by stopped-flow technique at several temperatures. An investigation of the kinetics of exchange of coordinated heterocycles for 1,3,5-triazine, yielded rate saturation that is typical of a limiting SN₁ mechanism. Activation parameters of the limiting first-order specific rate of dissociations were found with ΔH* and ΔS* 53±2 kJ/mol and 105±5 J/mol, respectively. From the specific rates of formation and dissociation reactions the equilibrium constants were calculated. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Int J Chem Kinet: 30: 415–418, 1998

A programmed polymer folding: click and clip construction of doubly fused tricyclic and triply fused tetracyclic polymer topologies

A tandem alkyne-azide addition, i.e., click, and an olefin metathesis condensation, i.e., clip, reactions in conjunction with an electrostatic self-assembly and covalent fixation (ESA-CF) process, have been demonstrated as effective means to produce constructions of programmed folding of polymers having doubly fused tricyclic and triply fused tetracyclic topologies. Thus, a series of cyclic poly(tetrahydrofuran), poly(THF), precursors having an allyloxy group and an alkyne group (Ia), an allyloxy group and an azide group (Ib), and two alkyne groups (Ic) at the opposite positions was prepared by means of the ESA-CF method. The subsequent click reactions of Ia with a linear telechelic poly(THF) precursor having azide end groups (Id) and of Ib with Ic afforded a bridged dicyclic polymer (IIa) and a tandem spiro tricyclic precursor (IIb), respectively, both having two allyloxy groups at the opposite positions of the ring units. Finally, the intramolecular metathesis condensation reaction of IIa and of IIb in the presence of a Grubbs catalyst was performed to construct effectively a doubly fused tricyclic and a triply fused tetracyclic polymer topologies (III and IV), respectively.     

Conversion of bis(o‐nitrophenyl)disulfides to heterocycles containing sulfur and nitrogen by the action of samarium diiodide

Treatment of bis(o‐nitrophenyl)disulfides 1 with SmI₂ led to simultaneous reduction of nitro groups and reductive cleavage of S–S bonds as well as the formation of the active intermediates 2 . The intermediates 2 reacted smoothly with aldehydes or ketones, acid chlorides or anhydrides, α‐bromoketones, and α,β‐unsaturated ketones at room temperature to afford the desired benzothiazolines 3 , benzothiazoles 4 , 2H‐1,4‐benzothiazines 5 , and 2,3‐dihydro‐1,5‐benzothiazepines 6 , respectively, in moderate to high yields under mild and neutral conditions. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Intramolecular carbonylation reactions with recyclable palladium-complexed dendrimers on silica: synthesis of oxygen, nitrogen, or sulfur-containing medium ring fused heterocycles

Palladium-complexed dendrimers supported on silica were evaluated as catalysts for intramolecular carbonylation reactions. The results showed that dendritic catalysts display high activity, affording oxygen, nitrogen, or sulfur-containing seven- or eight-membered ring fused heterocycles in excellent yields. Moreover, these catalysts have competitive advantages in that they can be easily recovered by simple filtration in air and reused for up to eight cycles with only a slight loss of activity.

The electrophilic additiob of sulfur dichloride and selenium tetrachloride to diallyldimethylsilane proceeds strictly according Markownikoff rule and results in the formation of previously unknown saturated siliconcontaining heterocycles, 5,5-dimethyl-3,7-dichloro-1,5-thiasilacyclooctane and 5,5-dimethyl-1,1,3,7-tetrachloro-1,5-selena(IV)silacyclooctane. The structure of heterocycles obtained was confi rmed by ¹H, ¹³C NMR spectra, in the case of selenium-containing heterocycle, by ⁷⁷Se NMR spectrum, among them the 2D HMBC spectrum.     

Selective chemical ionization of nitrogen and sulfur heterocycles in petroleum fractions by ion trap mass spectrometry

A procedure is reported for the selective ammonia chemical ionization of some nitrogen and sulfur heterocycles in petroleum fractions using ion trap mass spectrometry (ITMS). The ion trap scan routine is designed to optimize the population of ammonium reagent ions and eject from the trap (by radio frequency/direct current isolation) electron ionization products formed during reagent ion formation prior to ionization of the sample. The ITMS procedure is compared with standard ion trap detector and conventional quadrupole ammonia chemical ionization for the determination of nitrogen and sulfur heterocycles in gas oil and kerosine samples. Greatly enhanced selectivity is shown for the ITMS procedure by suppression of competing charge-exchange processes.     

Investigation of heterocycles containing nitrogen or sulfur. 48. Derivatives of 1-morpholinooxalyl-1,2-dihydrothiazolo-[5,4-b]pyridine,their structure,and reactions

The structures of the products of reactions of 1-N-morpholinooxahi-1,2-dihydrothiazolo-[5,4-b]pyridine have been studied by IR, NMR, UV, and mass spectroscopy.

Electrochemical functionalization of carbon surfaces by aromatic azide or alkyne molecules: a versatile platform for click chemistry

The electrochemical reduction of phenylazide or phenylacetylene diazonium salts leads to the grafting of azido or ethynyl groups onto the surface of carbon electrodes. In the presence of copper(I) catalyst, these azide- or alkyne-modified surfaces react efficiently and rapidly with compounds bearing an acetylene or azide function, thus forming a covalent 1,2,3-triazole linkage by means of click chemistry. This was illustrated with the surface coupling of ferrocenes functionalized with an ethynyl or azido group and the biomolecule biotin terminated by an acetylene group.
