Tandem reactions of 1,2,4-oxadiazoles with allylamines

A reaction of 3-chloro-1,2,4-oxadiazoles with allylamine and diallylamine has been investigated. 3,3a,4,5-Tetrahydroisoxazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidines are produced through a tandem ANRORC/[3 + 2]cycloaddition pathway consisting of the addition of allylamine to the 1,2,4-oxadiazole, followed by ring opening, nitrone formation, and finally cycloaddition. 3-N-Allylamino-1,2,4-oxadiazoles were also obtained as minor products through a classical SNAr. Conversely, a reaction with diallylamine produces 3-N,N-diallylamino-1,2,4-oxadiazole and imidazoline through tandem SNAr/aziridination and nucleophilic ring opening.     

Five-to-six membered ring-rearrangements in the reaction of 5-perfluoroalkyl-1,2,4-oxadiazoles with hydrazine and methylhydrazine

The hydrazinolysis reaction of 5-perfluoroalkyl-1,2,4-oxadiazoles with hydrazine or methylhydrazine as bidentate nucleophiles has been investigated. The reaction occurred through the addition of the bidentate nucleophile to the C(5)-N(4) double bond of the 1,2,4-oxadiazole followed by ring-opening and ring-closure (ANRORC) involving the second nucleophilic site of the reagent. This ring-closure step could involve either the original C(3) of the 1,2,4-oxadiazole (giving a five-to-five membered ring rearrangement) or an additional electrophilic center linked to it (exploiting a five-to-six membered ring rearrangement). An alternative initial nucleophilic attack may involve the additional electrophilic center linked at C(3), that is the carbonyl group, leading to the formation of the hydrazones which undergo the Boulton-Katritzky rearrangement (BKR). The chosen reaction path is a function of the used nucleophile and of the nature of the substituent at C(3). At variance with previous hypotheses, when methylhydrazine was used, the observed regiochemistry always showed the preferred initial attack by the less hindered NH(2) end of the nucleophile on C(5). Moreover, new spectroscopic evidence allowed the assignment of correct structures to the products formed by reaction of 5-perfluoroalkyl-3-phenyl-1,2,4-oxadiazoles with methylhydrazine.     

Fluorinated heterocyclic compounds. An effective strategy for the synthesis of fluorinated Z-oximes of 3-perfluoroalkyl-6-phenyl-2h-1,2,4-triazin-5-ones via a ring-enlargement reaction of 3-benzoyl-5-perfluoroalkyl-1,2,4-oxadiazoles and hydrazine

The reaction of 3-benzoyl-5-perfluoroalkyl-1,2,4-oxadiazoles with hydrazine has been investigated, evidencing the possibility of competitive reaction paths. Nucleophilic addition of the hydrazine to the electrophilic C(5) of the 1,2,4-oxadiazole ring, followed by ring opening and ring closure with enlargement, leads with high yield and in very mild experimental conditions to the formation of Z-oximes of 3-perfluoroalkyl-6-phenyl-2H-1,2,4-triazin-5-ones (11a-c) as major products of the reaction. In turn, the hydrazine can attack the electrophilic carbonyl carbon giving 4-perfluoroacylamino-5-phenyl-2H-1,2,3-triazoles (13a-c) through the well-known Boulton-Katritzky rearrangement of the intermediate hydrazones.     

Synthesis of fluorinated indazoles through ANRORC-like rearrangement of 1,2,4-oxadiazoles with hydrazine

A series of 6-substituted fluorinated indazoles has been obtained through an ANRORC-like rearrangement (Addition of Nucleophile, Ring-Opening and Ring-Closure) of 5-tetrafluorophenyl-1,2,4-oxadiazoles with hydrazine. The initial addition of the bidentate nucleophile to the electrophilic C(5) of the 1,2,4-oxadiazole ring, followed by ring opening and ring closure, leads to the formation of fluorinated indazoles in high yield under mild experimental conditions. Functionalization of the C(6) in the final indazole nucleus was preliminarily achieved through a nucleophilic aromatic substitution on the starting 5-pentafluorophenyl-1,2,4-oxadiazole.     

Synthesis of 3-carbamoyl-1,2,4-oxadiazoles

A convenient method for the synthesis of 3-carbamoyl-1,2,4-oxadiazoles from carbamoylamidoximes and chlorides or anhydrides of haloacetic acids was developed. The reactions of 3-carbamoyl-5-trichloromethyl-1,2,4-oxadiazoles with amines and N,N-dimethylhydrazine were studied.     

3,3-Dinitrobutyl-1,2,4-oxadiazoles

The syntheses of 3,5-bis(3,3-dinitrobutyl)-1,2,4-oxadiazole and a series of 3-aryl-5-(3,3-dinitrobutyl)-1,2,4-oxadiazoles were accomplished by treating 4,4-dinitropentanoyl chloride with the appropriate amidoximes to yield the intermediate O-(4,4-dinitropentanoyl)amidoximes, which were dehydrated to the 1,2,4-oxadiazoles.

Synthesis and study of the structure of o-hydroxyaryl-1,2,4-oxadiazoles

The reaction of 4-oxo-1,3-benz- and -naphthoxazinium perchlorates with hydroxylamine leads to 5-(o-hydroxyaryl)-1,2,4-oxadiazoles rather than to 3-(o-hydroxyaryl)-1,2,4-oxadiazoles, as was previously assumed. The structure of the compounds obtained was proved by alternative synthesis, as well as by mass spectrometry and comparison of the experimentally found and calculated dipole moments and Kerr constants of the possible structures of the o-hydroxyaryl-1,2,4-oxadiazoles.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 4, pp. 540–549, April, 1992.     

Competing ring-photoisomerization pathways in the 1,2,4-oxadiazole series. An unprecedented ring-degenerate photoisomerization

The irradiation of some 5-alkyl-3-amino-1,2,4-oxadiazoles at lambda = 254 nm in methanol in the presence of triethylamine (TEA) gave ring-photoisomerization both into 2-alkyl-5-amino-1,3,4-oxadiazoles and, unprecedently, into the ring-degenerate 3-alkyl-5-amino-1,2,4-oxadiazoles. The competing ring contraction-ring expansion route and the internal cyclization-isomerization mechanism explain the results.     

Synthesis of triazoles and oxadiazoles from 2-aryl-3phenyl-4-amino-5-cyano-3,4-dihydropyrimidines

2-Aryl-3-phenyl-4-imino-5-cyano-3,4-dihydropyrimidines I were transformed to 1,2,4-triazoles II,IV and 1,2,4-oxadiazoles III by treatment with hydrazine, arylhydrazines or hydroxylamine in yields up to 90%.     

The Synthesis of 3,5-Diamino-1,2,4-oxadiazoles. 1st Communication

Reaction of the 1-substituted-3-cyano-isothioureas 6 with hydroxylamine gave mixtures of the 5-amino-3-substituted-amino-1,2,4-oxadiazoles 1 and the isomeric 3-amino-5-substituted-amino-1,2,4-oxadiazoles 8 in which 1 usually predominated. The structural assignment of these products is discussed. In a second method, the 2-hydroxy-1-methyl-1-phenyl-guanidine 15 was converted to the corresponding 3-disubstituted-amino-5-trichloromethyl-1,2,4-oxadiazole 16 , a precursor to the 5-amino derivatives 17 by nucleophilic displacement of the trichloromethyl group.

The synthesis of 3,5-substituted 1,2,4-oxadiazoles on solid support is described. Benzoic acids bound to the Wang linker on a polystyrene resin are activated and allowed to react with N-hydroxyamidines. The resulting acylated N-hydroxyamidines are converted into 1,2,4-oxadiazoles at 125°C.     

Neue acetonylsubstituierte Azole II. 3-Acetonyl-1,2,4-oxadiazole, 2-Acetonyl-1,3,4-oxadiazole und 5-Acetonyl-1,2,4-thiadiazole

3-Acetonyl-1,2,4-oxadiazoles and 2-acetonyl-1,3,4-oxadiazoles are accessible starting with the ketal of acetoacetamide oxime and the ketal of acetoacetic acid hydrazide, respectively. 5-Acetonyl-1,2,4-thiadiazoles are obtained from 5-chloro-1,2,4-thiadiazoles andtert.-butyl acetoacetate. These Acetonyl-azoles are starting materials for three series of azolylvinyl phosphates and phosphonates.

Synthesis and properties of azoles and their derivatives. 37. Synthesis of 3,5-disubstituted 1,2,4-oxadiazoles containing indole radicals

The 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of nitrile N-oxides to indole nitriles yields 3,5-di-substituted 1,2,4-oxadiazoles containing an indole radical at the 5 position. Condensation of amidoximes with indole iminoester hydrochlorides yields 1,2,4-oxadiazoles having an indole segment at the 3 and/or 5 position of the oxadiazole ring. Pyrolysis of O-acyl derivatives of indole amidoximes yields 1,2,4-oxadiazoles with an indole residue at the 3 position.For Communication 36, see [1].Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 12, pp. 1609–1615, December, 1984.     

One-potCuAAC synthesis of (1H-1,2,3-triazol-1-yl)methyl-1,3,4/1,2,4-oxadiazoles starting from available chloromethyl-1,3,4/1,2,4-oxadiazoles

The one-pot CuAAC synthesis of (1H-1,2,3-triazol-1-yl)methyl-1,3,4-oxadiazole and (1H-1,2,3-triazol-1-yl)methyl-1,2,4-oxadiazole derivatives via three-component reaction of consequent nucleophilic substitution of chlorine, with azide, and its further “click” reaction, with alkynes, in the presence of CuI was studied. The utility of newly synthesized 2-(azidomethyl)-1,3,4/1,2,4-oxadiazoles and chloromethyl-1,3,4/1,2,4-oxadiazole derivatives was explored, and their limitations were determined. Novel 5-([4-aryl-1H-1,2,3-triazol-1-yl]methyl)-3-(aryl)-1,2,4-oxadiazoles, 2-([4-aryl-1H-1,2,3-triazol-1-yl]methyl)-5-(aryl)-1,3,4-oxadiazoles were obtained in good yields.     

Mass spectra of some perfluoroalkyl and perfluoroalkylether substituted 1,2,4-oxadiazoles

Electron impact fragmentation patterns were obtained for 1,4-bis[(5-perfluoro-n-heptyl)-1,2,4-oxadiazolyl]-benzene, its perfluoroalkylether substituted analogue, 3,5-bis(perfluoroalkyl)-, 3,5-bis(perfluoroalkylether)- and 3-perfluoroalkylether-5-perfluoroalkyl-1,2,4-oxadiazoles. In the compounds containing the phenylene group the molecular ion constituted the base peak; the main process was the breakdown of the oxadiazole ring with concurrent liberation of the perfluoroalkyl or perfluoroalkylether nitrile molecule; cleavage of the fluorinated chain α to the oxadiazole ring was found to take place to a considerable degree. In the perfluorinated 1,2,4-oxadiazoles cleavage β to the oxadiazole ring occurred preferentially; fragmentation of the ring itself took place to a limited degree only. The 3-perfluoroalkylether-5-perfluoroalkyl-1,2,4-oxadiazole appeared to undergo the primary β-cleavage exclusively at the perfluoroalkylether sidechain.

Heterocyclic rearrangements in constrained media. A zeolite-directed photorearrangement of 1,2,4-oxadiazoles

[reaction: see text] The first intrazeolite-photoinduced rearrangement of a five-membered heterocycle is reported. A completely different behavior compared to solution irradiations has been observed. The zeolite's role in directing the photoreaction of 3-phenyl-1,2,4-oxadiazoles toward the formation of the corresponding 1,3,4-oxadiazoles in a ring contraction-ringexpansion route is discussed.     

A novel synthesis of 1,2,4-oxadiazoles and isoxazoles

A novel synthesis of 1,2,4-oxadiazoles and isoxazoles is described by utilizing the reactions between amidoximes and α,β-alkynic aldehydes and/or ketones. Conjugate addition products, obtained from amidoximes and α,β-alkynic aldehydes and/or ketones, afford 1,2,4-oxadiazoles and isoxazoles when treated with bases and acids, respectively. 1,2,4-Oxadiazoles can also be synthesized directly from amidoximes and α,β-alkynic aldehydes in a one-pot manner under basic conditions. The reactions are general for a variety of starting compounds and tolerate the presence of aryl, heteroaryl and alkyl groups.     

Rapid multistep synthesis of 1,2,4-oxadiazoles in a single continuous microreactor sequence

A general method for the synthesis of bis-substituted 1,2,4-oxadiazoles from readily available arylnitriles and activated carbonyls in a single continuous microreactor sequence is described. The synthesis incorporates three sequential microreactors to produce 1,2,4-oxadiazoles in approximately 30 min in quantities (40-80 mg) sufficient for full characterization and rapid library supply.
