Improved Synthesis of 1-Bromo-3-buten-2-one

A convenient procedure for the synthesis of 1-bromo-3-buten-2-one, 4, from commercially available 2-ethyl-2-methyl-1,3-dioxolane, 1, is described. The procedure involves three reaction steps: (1) The acetal 1 is converted to 2-(1-bromoethyl)-2-bromomethyl-1,3-dioxolane, 2, by reacting 1 with elemental bromine in dichloromethane to yield 98% of 2. (2) Dehydrobromination of 2 with potassium tert-butoxide in tetrahydrofuran gives 2-bromomethyl-2-vinyl-1,3-dioxolane, 3, in 84–93% yield. (3) Removal of the acetal protection from 3 by formolysis for 6–10 h afforded 1-bromo-3-buten-2-one, 4, in 85–94% yield. A more rapid method is acid hydrolysis of 3 under microwave activation (100 °C, 8–10 min), by which 4 was obtained in 75% yield. Full experimental details are given.

Deprotection of Acetals from Unsaturated,Unstable Bromoketones

The unstable ketones 1-bromo-3-buten-2-one, 1-bromo-3-butyn-2-one, and 1,3-dibromo-3-buten-2-one can be obtained from the corresponding acetals in high yields by treating the acetals with anhydrous iron (III) chloride suspended on dry silica. A simplified procedure for preparing the reagent is also given.     

Interaction of (z)-4-bromo-1,3-di(2-thienyl)- 2-buten-1-one with amines,synthesis of di(2-thienyl)azolo[<Emphasis Type="Italic">a</Emphasis>]pyridines

(Z)-4-Bromo-1,3-di(2-thienyl)-2-buten-1-one was obtained by the bromination of 1,3-di(2-thienyl)-2-buten-1-one by NBS in anhydrous CCl₄. The starting butanone was obtained by the condensation of 1-(2-thienyl)-1-ethanone by the action of SOCl₂. The reaction of (Z)-4-bromo-1,3-di(2-thienyl)-2-buten-1-one with tertiary amines such as Et₃N, pyridine, 1-alkyl-1,3-diazole, 1-alkylbenzimidazole, and 1-alkyl-1,2,4-triazole leads to quaternary salts. The azolium salts cyclize by the action of base to give di(2-thienyl)azolo[a]pyridinium derivatives. 3-Methyl-6,8-di(2-thienyl)[1,3]thiazolo[3,2-a]pyridin-4-ium and 2,4-di(2-thienyl)pyrido[2,1-b]benzothiazol-10-ium bromides were obtained by the same procedure but without separating the intermediate quaternary salts.     

Synthesis and properties of z-1,3-bis-(aryl)-4-bromo-2-buten-1-ones

Bromination of 1,3-bis(aryl)-2-buten-1-ones by N-bromosuccinimide in anhydrous carbon tetrachloride gives Z-1,3-bis(aryl)-4-bromo-2-buten-1-ones. The effect of the nature of substituent in the benzene ring on the course of a reaction with nucleophiles has been studied. Heating an alcohol solution of these ketones (Ar = 4-MeOC₆H₄, 4-ClC₆H₄) in the presence of acid or in the presence of base (Ar = Ph) gave 2,4-bis(aryl)furans. Treatment of 1,3-bis(aryl)-4-bromo-2-buten-1-ones with thioacetamide gave 2,4-bis(aryl)thiophenes. The oxidation of the halo-substituted dypnones with H₂O₂/NaOH gave (3-bromomethyl-3-aryl-2-oxiranyl)(aryl)methanones. The reaction of halo-substituted dypnones with aryl hydrazines gave 1,3,5-triaryl-1,6-dihydropyridazines or 1,3,5-triarylpyridazinium bromides depending on the structure of the reagents.     

Heck reaction with 3-fluoro-3-buten-2-one

3-Fluoro-3-buten-2-one (2) is readily prepared from 1-fluoro-1-chloro-2-methoxy-2-methylcyclopropane (1) in 82% yield by heating the cyclopropane in aqueous quinoline solution. Ketone 2 reacts with aryl iodides (3) in a Heck reaction catalyzed by Pd(OAc)₂ to give Z-3-fluorobenzalacetones (4) in 36-86% yield.     

Condensation of γ-bromodypnone with thiocarbamides: Synthesis of 4,4-disubstituted 4,5-dihydro-1,3-thiazol-2-amines and thiazolidin-2-ones

The reaction of 4-bromo-1,3-diphenyl-2-buten-1-one with thiourea or N,N′-diphenylthiourea gives 2-(2-amino-4-phenyl-4,5-dihydro-1,3-thiazol-4-yl)-and 2-[3,4-diphenyl-2-(phenylimino)-1,3-thiazolidin-4-yl]-1-phenyl-1-ethanone — the products of nucleophilic substitution of the halogen atom and Michael addition at position 3 of the 2-buten-1-one system. A similar reaction with thiosemicarbazide and 1-phenylthiosemicarbazide gives the 4-(2-oxo-2-phenylethyl)-4-phenyl-and 4-(2-oxo-2-phenylethyl)-3,4-diphenyl-1,3-thiazolidin-2-one hydrobromides respectively. __________ Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 1, pp. 103–110, January, 2008.     

Transformations of 2-(3-Hydroxy-3-methyl-1-butynyl)adamantan-2-ol >Catalyzed by Acids

Reaction of 2-(3-hydroxy-3-methyl-1-butynyl)adamantan-2-ol with acetonitrile under Ritter reaction conditions is accompanied by isomerization and partial hydration where the water addition to the triple bond occurs nonselectively. As a result of reaction carried out in the presence of 8 equiv of sulfuric acid a mixture was obtained of N ²-[4-(1-acetylamino-2-adamantyl)-2-methyl-3-butyn-2-yl]acetamide, N ³-[1-(1-acetylamino-2-adamantyl)-3-methyl-2-oxo-3-butyl]-acetamide, and N ³-[1-(1-acetylamino-2-adamantyl)-3-methyl-1-oxo-3-butyl]acetamide in ~10:3:2 ratio. In the presence of 2 equiv of the acid the mixture obtained consisted of N ²-[4-(1-acetylamino-2-adamantyl)-2-methyl-3-butyn-2-yl]acetamide, N ³-[1-(1-acetylamino-2-adamantyl)-3-methyl-2-oxo-3-butyl]acetamide, and 1-(1-acetylamino-2-adamantyl)-3-methyl-2-buten-1-one in the same ratio. In Rupe reaction conditions we obtained instead of the expected ,-unsaturated ketones a mixture of 1-(1-hydroxy-2-adamantyl)-3-hydroxy-3-methylbutan-1-one and 1-(1-hydroxy-2-adamantyl)-3-hydroxy-3-methylbutan-2-one in a 5:3 ratio.     

Captodative Formyl- and Acyl(amino)alkenes Containing a Terminal Double Bond or a Weakly Basic Tertiary Amino Group

Piperidine reacts with 3-bromo-3-buten-2-one to give a mixture of 3,4-dipiperidinobutan-2-one and 3-piperidino-3-buten-2-one. The latter is also formed by the action of a strong base (Et₃N in THF or MeONa in MeOH) on the dipiperidino derivative. Analogous reaction of 2-bromo-3-phenylpropenal with N-methylaniline affords 2-[methyl(phenyl)amino]-3-phenylpropenal which is the first captodative formyl(amino)alkene having a weakly basic tertiary amino group.

Preparation of 4-bromo-1-hydroxypyrazole 2-oxides by nitrosation of α-bromo-α,β-unsaturated ketoximes

Nitrosation of the oximes of 3-bromo-3-penten-2-one, 3-bromo-4-phenyl-3-buten-2-one, and 2-bromo-1,3-diphenyl-2-propen-1-one using sodium nitrite in acetic acid gave low yields of 4-pyrazolone 1,2-dioxides. Nitrosation using butyl nitrite in the presence of copper(II) sulfate and pyridine in aqueous ethanol produced insoluble copper complexes from which 3,5-dimethyl-, 3-methyl-5-phenyl-, and 3,5-diphenyl-4-bromo-1-hydroxypyrazole 2-oxides could be liberated by treatment with dilute potassium hydroxide, filtration, and acidification of the filtrate. High yields were obtained with the first two oximes, but, presumably due to unfavorable stereochemistry of the oxime, the diphenyl derivative gave a lower yield of the complex, accompanied by 4-bromo- and 4-nitro-3,5-diphenylisoxazole and 4-oximino-3,5-diphenyl-4,5-dihydroisoxazole.     

Cationic polymerizations of substituted 2-methylene-1,3-dioxocyclic acetals, 2-methylene-1,3-dithiolane and copolymerization of 2-methylene-1,3-dithiolane with 4-(t-butyl)-2-methylene-1,3-dioxolane1

Carbon black-supported sulfuric acid or BF₃·Et₂O-initiated polymerizations of 2-methylene-4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3-dioxolane (1), 2-methylene-4-phenyl-1,3-dioxolane (2), and 2-methylene-4-isopropyl-5,5-dimethyl-1,3-dioxane (3) were performed. 1,2-Vinyl addition homopolymers of 1–3 were produced using carbon black-supported H₂SO₄ initiation at temperatures from 0°C to 60°C whereas both ring-opened and 1,2-vinyl structural units were present in the polymers using BF₃·Et₂O as an initiator. Cationic polymerizations of 2-methylene-1,3-dithiolane (4) and copolymerization of 4 with 2-methylene-4-(t-butyl)-1,3-dioxolane (5) were initiated with either carbon black-sulfuric acid or BF₃·Et₂O. Insoluble 1,2-vinyl addition homopolymers of 4 were obtained upon initiation with the supported acid or BF₃·Et₂O. A soluble copolymer of 2-methylene-1,3-dithiolane (4) and 4-(t-butyl)-2-methylene-1,3-dioxolane (5) was obtained upon BF₃·Et₂O initiation. This copolymer is composed of three structural units: a ring-opened dithioester unit, a 1,2-vinyl-polymerized 1,3-dithiolane unit, and a 1,2-vinyl polymerized 4-(t-butyl)-1,3-dioxolane unit. © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Synthese von bromosubstituierten Butenoliden II

Synthesis of Bromosubstituted Butenolides II . Methyl 4,4′-dibromosenecioate ( 2 ) was prepared by double N-bromosuccinimide bromination of methyl senecioate ( 1 ) and converted to methyl 4,4′-diiodo-senecioate ( 3 ) with sodium iodide and to 3-bromomethyl-2-buten-4-olide ( 4 ) with aqueous hydrobromic acid. A mixture of methyl (Z)- and (E)-4-bromosenecioate ( 8 and 9 ) yielded 3-methyl-2-butenolide ( 5 ) with aqueous hydrobromic acid and a mixture of (Z)-and (E)-4-methoxy-senecioic acid ( 10 and 11 ) with methanolic potassium hydroxide. N-Bromosuccinimide treatment of the butenolide 5 afforded 4-bromo-3-methyl-2-buten-4-olide ( 6 ) and 4,4-dibromo-3-methyl-2-buten-4-olide ( 7 ).     

The hydroxyacetylpiperidines and their N-benzyl derivatives. The 2-hydroxymethyl-2-piperidyl- and 2-hydroxymethyl-2-pyridyl-1,3-dioxolanes

The hydroxyacetylpiperidines, their ethylene ketals, and the N-benzyl derivatives of these new piperidines have been synthesized. Methylolation of 2-(2- and 4-pyridyl)-1,3-dioxolanes by heating with paraformaldehyde at 185° led to 2-hydroxymethyl-2-(2- and 4-pyridyl)-i,3-dioxolanes ( 7,8 , respectively). 2-Hydroxymethyl-2-(3-pyridyl)-1,3-dioxolane ( 13 ) was obtained by reaction of 2-bromomethyl-2-(3-pyridyl)-1,3-dioxolane with aqueous sodium hydroxide at 190°. Hydrogenation of these pyridine ketals with rhodium-charcoal catalyst produced the corresponding piperidine ketals (16,17,18). Acid hydrolysis of the piperidine ketals and their N-benzyl derivatives led to the hydroxyacetylpiperidines (1,2,3) and their N-benzyl derivatives (25,26,27). The N-benzylhydroxyacetylpiperidines undergo rapid hydrogenolysis with palladium-charcoal catalyst to produce the hydroxyacetylpiperidines. Further hydrogenation produces the piperidyl-1,2-ethanediols. The hydroxyacetylpiperidines are somewhat unstable, hygroscopic substances which polymerize with dehydration on standing; in solution they are relatively stable. Their N-benzyl, ketal, and hydrochloride salt derivatives, on the other hand, represent stable, synthetically useful intermediates from which the reactive trifunctional hydroxyacetylpiperidines may readily be prepared.     

2-Methyl-3-butyn-2-ol conversion on AlPO4-cesium oxide (20 wt.%) catalysts obtained by impregnation with cesium chloride

2-Methyl-3-butyn-2-ol underwent almost exclusively dehydration to 3-methyl-3-buten-1-yne (acid activity) on pure AlPO₄, whereas its modification with cesium oxide developed AlPO₄-based materials with increased basic properties and hence, high selectivities to the base-catalyzed cleavage of MBOH yielding acetone and acetylene. At the same conversion level, catalysts obtained from cesium chloride exhibit higher selectivities to the base-catalyzed process than those obtained from cesium acetate.     

Cyclisation of 4-[2-Cyclofentenyl]-3-Hydroxy [1] Benzopypan-2-One

4-[2-cyclopentenyl]-3-hydroxy [1] bonzopyran-2-one(3) was cyclised to the bicyclie coumar in-1,3-ethano-2-bromo-1,2-dihydro-3H-pyrano [2,3-c] [1] benzopyran-5-one (6) by a sequence of reactions viz. acetylation of 3, addition of bromine to cyclopenteny double bond and treating the resulting acetyldibromo compound (5) with 4% alcoholic KOH, Cyclisation of compound (3) with mercuric acetate in methanol gave condensed furan derivative 7 which on reductive demercuration with zinc borohydride in dimethoxyethane gave the 1,3-propano-1,2-dihydrofuro [2,3-c] [1] benzopyran-4-one, 8. Cyclisation of compound 2 with come. H₂SO₄ furnished a mixture of bicyclic derivative 9 ad furo coumarin derivative 8.     

Reaction of α,α-, α,α′-dihalothiones with 8-mercaptoquinolinium halides as a route to tetrahydro-1,4-thiazinoquinolinium halides

The reaction of 8-mercaptoquinolinium bromide with 1,3-dibromopropane-2-thione or 3,3-dibromobutane-2-thione in methanol gave the 2-bromomethyl-2-mercaptotetrahydro-1,4-thiazino[2,3,3,4-i,j]quinolinium and 3-bromo-2-mercapto-2,3-dimethyltetrahydro-1,4-thiazino[2,3,3,4-i,j]quinolinium bromides which readily exchanged the Br⁻ anion for ClO ₄ ⁻ upon treatment with sodium perchlorate in methanol. Oxidation of the 3-bromo-2-mercapto-2,3-dimethyltetrahydro-1,4-thiazino[2,3,3,4-i,j]-quinolinium bromide by selenium dioxide gave 2,2-dithiobis(3-bromo-2,3-dimethyltetrahydro-1,4-thiazino[2,3,3,4-i,j]quinolinium) bromide. __________ Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 11, pp. 1720–1723, November, 2006.     

Microwave synthesis,characterization and antimicrobial study of new pyrazolyl-oxopropyl-quinazolin-4(3H)-one derivatives

Heterocyclic compounds containing pyrazolyl-oxopropyl-quinazolin-4(3H)-one are reported to possess significant biological activity. Syntheses of 6-bromo-2-(3-chloro-2-oxopropyl)-3-(4-fluorophenyl)quinazolin-4(3H)-one 2 6-bromo-3-(4-fluorophenyl)-2-(3-hydrazinyl-2-oxopropyl)quinazolin-4(3H)-one 3 and 6-bromo-2-(3-(3-(4-(1-(2-chlorophenyl)-3-methyl-1H-pyrazol-5(4H)-ylideneamino)phenyl)-5-(substituted phenyl)-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)-2-oxopropyl)-3-(4-fluorophenyl)quinazolin-4(3H)-one 5a–j using microwave irradiation have been described. These compounds have been characterized on the basis of the UV, IR, ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, Mass and elemental analysis. Compounds have been evaluated for their antimicrobial activity.     

Synthesis of 2,4-diphenyl-1H-pyrrol-1-amine derivatives

The direction of the reaction of 4-bromo-1,3-diphenyl-2-buten-1-one (γ-bromodypnone) with hydrazines depends on the nature of the substituent they contain. Reaction with 1-methylhydrazinium hydrosulfate gives 1-methyl-3,5-diphenylpyridazin-1-ium bromide but carboxylic acid hydrazides give N-(2,4-diphenyl-1H-pyrrol-1-yl)carboxylic acid amides. γ-Bromodypnone and phenylhydrazine give both 1,3,5-triphenyl-1,4-dihydropyridazine and N,2,4-triphenyl-1H-pyrrol-1-amine (15%). 1-(2,4-Dinitrophenyl)hydrazine gives the 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazone of (Z)-4-bromo-1,3-diphenyl-2-buten-1-one. Condensation of 2,4-diphenyl-1H-pyrrol-1-amine with aromatic aldehydes readily leads to N-(arylmethylidene)-2,4-diphenyl-1H-pyrrol-1-amines and alkylation with methyl iodide gives N,N-dimethyl-2,4-diphenyl-1H-pyrrol-1-amine.

Reactions of zinc enolates derived from 1-aryl-2-bromo-alkanones and 1-aryl-2-bromo-2-phenylethanone with 3-aroyl-6-bromochromen-2-ones and 2-benzoylbenzo[f]chromen-3-one

3-Aroyl-6-bromochromen-2-ones and 2-benzoylbenzo[f]chromen-3-one reacted with zinc enolates derived from 1-aryl-2-bromoalkanones and 1-aryl-2-bromo-2-phenylethanone to give, respectively, 4-(1-alkyl-2-aryl-2-oxoethyl)-3-aroyl-6-bromochroman-2-ones and 1-(2-aroyl-1-methyl-2-oxoethyl)-2-benzoyl-1,2-dihydrobenzo[f]chromen-3-ones as a single stereoisomer. Treatment with acetic anhydride of the intermediate product obtained from 3-benzoyl-6-bromochromen-2-one and [1-(4-chlorophenyl)-2-phenylethen-1-yloxy]-zinc(II) bromide resulted in the formation of 3-(1-acetoxy-1-phenylmethylidene)-6-bromo-4-[2-(4-chlorophenyl)-2-oxo-1-phenylethyl]chroman-2-one.     

Kinetics of substitution reactions of transition metal complexes in 1,3-dioxolan-2-one + water and 4-methyl-1,3-dioxolan-2-one + water solvent mixtures

Summary Rate constants are reported and discussed for several substitutions of inorganic complexes in ethylene carbonate (1,3-dioxolan-2-one) + water and in propylene carbonate (4-methyl-1,3-dioxolan-2-one) + water solvent mixtures.
