Reactions of N-aryl-3-oxobutanethioamides with 1H-1,2,4-triazole-5-amine give mixtures of 7-arylamino-5-methyl[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidines, 5-methyl-4,7-dihydro[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine-7-thione, 7-methyl-4,5-dihydro[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine-5-thione, and 5-arylamino-7-methyl[1,2,4]triazolo[ 1,5-a]pyrimidines whose ratio depends on the substituent in the aryl group of initial N-aryl-3-oxobutanethioamide and solvent nature (the presence of a proton-donor solvent).     

Reactions of 3-Aroylpyrrolo[1,2-<Emphasis Type="Italic">a</Emphasis>]quinoxaline-1,2,4(5<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>)-triones with 2,3-Dihydrofuran and 3,4-Dihydro-2<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>-pyran

3-Aroylpyrrolo[1,2-a]quinoxaline-1,2,4(5H)-triones reacted with 2,3-dihydrofuran and 3,4-dihydro-2H-pyran to give mixtures of the corresponding hetero-Diels–Alder (furo- and pyrano[3″,2″: 5′,6′]pyrano- [4′,3′: 2,3]pyrrolo[1,2-a]quinoxalines) and Michael adducts (furyl- and pyranylpyrrolo[1,2-a]quinoxalines).     

Reaction 5-(Arylmethylidene)pyrimidine-2,4,6(1<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>,3<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>,5<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>)-triones with L-Proline and Aldehydes

Boiling in toluene of 5-(arylmethylidene)pyrimidine-2,4,6(1H,3H,5H)-triones with L-proline and aldehyde led to the formation of previously unknown substituted 1′-arylhexahydro-1H-spiro[pyrimidine-5,2′-pyrrolysine]-2,4,6(1H,3Н,5Н)-triones.     

Tautomerism of aza cycles: II. Synthesis and structure of 5-substituted 3-(2-hydroxyethylsulfanyl)-1<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>-1,2,4-triazoles and their salts. Preference of the 1H,4<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>-1,2,4-triazolium tautomers

New complexing agents, potentially tautomeric 3-(2-hydroxyethylsulfanyl)-1H-1,2,4-triazole, its 5-methyl-and 5-phenyl-substituted analogs, and some their salts, were synthesized, and their structure was discussed on the basis of the ¹H and ¹³C NMR, IR, and mass spectra, X-ray diffraction data, and published data. In keeping with the rule formulated previously for N-unsubstituted 1,2,4-triazoles having dissimilar substituents, the synthesized compounds were found to exist as 3-(2-hydroxyethylsulfanyl)-5-R-1H-1,2,4-triazole tautomers (3-R_A-5-R_D-1H-1,2,4-triazoly). They are protonated at the nitrogen atom in position 4 of the triazole ring. The ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectra of these compounds in trifluoroacetic acid suggest the presence of two forms due to equilibrium between the neutral and protonated species. Analysis of the crystallographic data for the triazolium salts and published data showed preference of the 1H,4H-1,2,4-triazolium tautomer.     

<Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-acylimino-substituted 2-oxa-7-azaspiro[4.4]nona-3,6,8-trienes in the synthesis of 3-(1<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)-3<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>-pyrrole-4-carbonitriles

Reaction with phenylhydrazine of 3Н-pyrroles spirobound to a furan ring, N-acylimino-substituted 2-oxa-7-azaspiro[4.4]nona-3,6,8-trienes, occurs with a diasteroselective formation of previously unknown derivatives of 1,2,4-triazole: 5-amino-3-(5-alkyl-1-phenyl-1H-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)-2-morpholin-4-yl-3H-pyrrole-4-carbonitriles.     

Regioselectivity in the reactions of <Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-(polychloroethylidene)-sulfonamides with 1<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>-pyrrole and 1-methyl-1<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>-pyrrole

N-(2,2,2-Trichloroethylidene)arenesulfonamides react with 1H-pyrrole and 1-methyl-1H-pyrrole to give the corresponding N-[2,2,2-trichloro-1-(1H-pyrrol-2-yl)ethyl]arenesulfonamides. The reaction of N-(2,2,2-trichloroethylidene)trifluoromethanesulfonamide with pyrrole leads to a mixture of 2-mono-and 2,5-disubstituted pyrroles, whereas in the reaction with 1-methyl-1H-pyrrole only the 2-substituted compound is formed. N-(2,2-Dichloro-2-phenylethylidene)-4-methylbenzenesulfonamide reacts with 1H-pyrrole to form N-[2,2-dichloro-2-phenyl-1-(1H-pyrrol-2-yl)ethyl]-4-methylbenzenesulfonamide, and its reaction with 1-methyl-1H-pyrrole gives a mixture of 2-and 3-monosubstituted derivatives. The results of quantum-chemical calculations of the initial reactants and products indicate that the process is orbital-controlled. A good agreement is observed between the experimental data and theoretical conclusions concerning the dependence of the reaction regioselectivity on the nature of substituents in the electrophile molecule.

2-Dimethylamino methylenechromanone 1 reacted with 4H-1,2,4-triazol-3-amine in acetic acid to give only one isolated product which was identified by X-ray study as 6H-chromeno[3,4-e][1,3,4]triazolo[2,3-a]-pyrimidine. The molecular structure of 3, C₁₂H₈N₄O, was determined to be monoclinic, P2₁/c, a = 16.3875(5), b = 8.8378(3), c = 13.8392(5) Å, β = 101.190(1)°, V = 1966.22(11) ų, Z = 8.

The intermolecular interaction energies were calculated by the atom-atomic approach for the crystal structure. The character of the crystal structure and the structural subclass were established.     

Alkylation,amino(hydroxy)methylation,and cyanoethylation of 5-substituted 4-phenyl-4<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>-1,2,4-triazole-3-thiols

Reactions of 1,2,4-triazole-3-thiols with 2-bromopropionic acid, 2-bromocaproic acid, ethylene chlorohydrine, chloroacetamide, 3-bromo-4-methoxybenzyl chloride, 2-methoxy-5-acetylbenzyl chloride, and 2-(2-chlorophenoxy)ethyl chloride in the presence of KOH have afforded new 3-sulfanyl-1,2,4-triazoles in high yields. Aminomethylation of 1,2,4-triazole-3-thiols in the presence of formaldehyde has given the corresponding 2-aminomethyl-2H-1,2,4-triazole-3(4H)-thiones. Interaction of triazole-3-thiols with formalin and acrylonitrile has resulted in the formation of N²-hydroxymethyl- and 3-(2-cyanoethyl)sulfanyl derivatives.

Denitration of 5-R-substituted 3-nitro-1-trinitromethyl-1H-1,2,4-triazoles (R = CH₃, Cl, Br, N₃, NH₂) by the action of potassium iodide or hydroxylamine, followed by treatment with sulfuric acid, gave the corresponding 1-dinitromethyl derivatives which were shown to be very strong CH acids (pK _a ?0.55 to ?1.62).     

<Emphasis Type="Italic">S</Emphasis>-functional derivatives of 3,4-dihydro-2<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>-1,4-thiasilines

The first cyclic unsaturated S-functional derivatives of 4,4-diphenyl-3,4-dihydro-2H-1,4-thiasiline, S-oxide, S,S-dioxide, and S-sulfonimide, were prepared. Oxidation of the hydrolytically less stable 4,4-dimethyl-3,4-dihydro-2H-1,4-thiasiline leads to the corresponding sulfoxide and sulfone along with the ring opening products, siloxanes containing the sulfoxide or sulfonyl group.     

Synthesis of oxo derivatives of <Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-(<Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis>-tolysulfonyl)hexahydrocycloalka[<Emphasis Type="Italic">b</Emphasis>]indoles

Hydroxymercuration-demercuration of N-p-tolysulfonyl-4,4a,9,9a-tetrahydro-3H-carbazoles and N-p-tolyl(or methyl)sulfonyl-1,3a,4,8b-tetrahydrocyclopenta[b]indoles leads to the formation of the corresponding N-p-tolylsulfonyl-2,3,4,4a,9,9a-hexahydro-1H-carbazol-2-ols and N-p-tolyl(or methyl)sulfonyl-1,2,3,3a,4,8b-hexahydrocyclopenta[b]indol-2-ols. The latter are oxidized to 2-oxo derivatives with potassium dichromate. The oxidation of 2-methoxy-8-methyl-N-p-tolylsulfonyl-2,3,4,4a,9,9a-hexahydro-1H-carbazol-1-ol under analogous conditions gives 2-methoxy-8-methyl-N-p-tolysulfonyl-2,3,4,4a,9,9a-hexahydro-1H-carbazol-1-one.

It was found that the condensation of two equivalents of 4-hydroxy-6-methyl-2H-pyran-2-one or 4-hydroxycoumarin with arylglyoxals in boiling formic acid leads to 4H-furo[3,2-c]-pyran-4-ones or 4H-furo[3,2-c]chromen-4-ones, respectively.

Thermal Rearrangements of 3<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>- and 4<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>-Pyrazoles Prepared by Reactions of 9-Diazofluoren with Methyl Tetrolate and Methyl 3-Phenylpropiolate

9-Diazofluoren adds in Et₂O at 20°C to methyltetrolate in keeping with Auwers rule and nonregioselectively adds to methyl-3-phenylpropiolate with the formation of spirocyclic 3H-pyrazoles. The methyltetrolate adduct at boiling in toluene converts into methyl 3a-methyl-3aH-dibenzo[e,g]indazole-3-carboxylate, at 190°C in benzene, into methyl 3-methyl-2H-dibenzo[e,g]indazole-2-carboxylate, and at 160°C in methanol, into 3-methyl-2H-dibenzo[e,g]indazole. Auwers adduct of methyl 3-phenylpropiolate at boiling in benzene gives cyclopropene derivative and at boiling in methanol isomerizes into methyl 3a-phenyl-3aHdibenzo[e,g]indazole-3-carboxylate. Anti-Auwers adduct at boiling in benzene isomerizes into methyl 2-phenylpyrazolo[1,5-f]phenanthridine-3-carboxylate.
