1-Oxa-3-azapentalen-2-ones as Precursors of cis-2-Amino Alcohols: Synthesis from Propargyl Alcohols, CO2, and Amines Using an Intramolecular Amidoalkylation Reaction of Oxazolidin-2-ones

The reaction of 5-methyl-5-(4-methyl-3-pentenyl)-4-methylene-1,3-dioxolan-2-one with primary amines gives the corresponding 4-hydroxy-4-methyloxazolidin-2-ones. These undergo an intramolecular amidoalkylation reaction to form 1-oxa-3-azapentalen-2-ones which are potential precursors of cyclopentanyl cis-2-amino alcohols.     

Theoretical study on H2 elimination pathways of silylenoid H2SiLiF with CH4, NH3, H2O, HF, SiH4, PH3, H2S, and HCl

Ab initio molecular orbital calculations have been performed to explore the reaction potential energy surfaces of silylenoid H₂SiLiF with XH _n hydrides, where XH _n = CH₄, NH₃, H₂O, HF, SiH₄, PH₃, H₂S, and HCl. We have identified a previously unreported reaction pathway on each reaction surface, H₂SiLiF + H-XH _{n − 1} → H _n XSiLiF + H₂, which involves H₂ elimination following the initial formation of an association complex via a four-membered ring transition state to form the substituted three-membered ring silylenoid H _n XSiLiF and a H₂ molecule. This theoretical calculations suggest that (i) for H₂ eliminations there is a very clear trend toward lower activation barriers and more exothermic interactions on going from left to right along a given row in periodic table, and (ii) for the second-row hydrides, the H₂ elimination reactions are less exothermic than for the first-row hydrides and the reaction barriers are lower for X–S and Cl. Compared to the insertions of H₂SiLiF into XH _n , the H₂ elimination pathways should be unfavorable with higher barrier and lower exothermic.     

Facile Synthesis of Alkyl and Aryl Substituted Dibenzo[b,g][1,8]naphthyridin-5-ones

The reaction of 2,4-dichloroquinolines with o-aminoacetophenone and o-aminobenzophenone under neat conditions yielded 2′-acetyl and 2′-benzoyl substituted-4-chloro-2-(N-phenylamino)quinolines, respectively, which on treatment with sodium methoxide afforded the 2′-substituted-4-methoxy-2-(N-phenylamino)quinolines. These potential intermediates, on polyphosphoric acid–catalyzed cyclization at two different temperatures, gave the respective 6-methyl and 6-phenyl substituted dibenzo[b,g][1,8]naphthyridin-5-ones. These temperature differences for the formation of the final products were due to the in situ formation of the respective 2′-substituted-2-(N-phenylamino)quinolin-4-ones from the chloro and methoxy intermediates. The naphthyridin-5-ones were subjected to N-methylation, where the methyl group in the 1-position was found to hinder the reaction sterically, consequently increasing the reaction time to more than that of the other derivatives.     

Application of N,N'-Diiodo-N,N'-1,2-ethandiylbis(p-toluene sulfonamide)as a New Reagent for Synthesis of2-Arylbenzimidazoles and 2-Arylbenzothiazoles under Solvent-free Conditions

Absence of solvent, short reaction times, non‐corrosive, operational simplicity and environmentally friendliness are the main advantages of this procedure.     

Expedient Synthesis of 6-Aryl Derivatives of 3,4-Dihydro-1,4,4a,6a-tetraaza-benzo[a]fluoren-2-one: A New Heterocyclic Framework

3,4-Dihydro-1,4,4a,6a-tetraaza-benzo[a]fluoren-2-one, a new tetracyclic heterocyclic framework, is designed through a simple and convenient synthetic sequence. Its 6-aryl derivatives are synthesized starting from 1H-indole-2-carboxylic acid. The reaction of differently substituted phenacyl bromides with 1H-indole-2-carboxylic acid and POCl₃-mediated cyclization of the resultant 1H-indole-2-carboxylic acid phenacyl ester provided 2-oxa-4a-aza-fluoren-1-one, and its sequential reaction with hydrazine and 2-chloro-acetamide furnished the desired new heterocyclic compounds 7a–f.

OLEFIN SYNTHESIS USING LITHIUM DERIVATIVES OF N,N,N',N'-TETRAMETHYLDIAMIDES OF ARYLMETHANEPHOSPHONIC ACIDS

Abstract

The reaction of lithium derivatives of N,N,N',N'-tetramethyldiamides of arylmethanephosphonic acids (1-Li) with aldehydes 2 is studied. It is found that under certain reaction conditions (THF, 5 hrs at -70°C and then allowing to warm to room temperature) the aldol stage of the reaction is highly stereoselective, only erythro adducts (2-hydroxyphosphonamides) 3, 4 being formed in 47–75% yields. By heating of 3 and 4 in neutral medium the corresponding (Z)-olefins 5, 6 are obtained (yields 64–74%). It is established that an acid catalyzed olefination of 2-hydroxyphosphonamides is also possible, but the reaction is not stereospecific.     

Three-component condensation of α-nitroacetophenone,aromatic aldehydes,and methylurea

The three-component condensation of aromatic aldehydes, methylurea, and α-nitroacetophenone affords both N(1)-and N(3)-methyl-substituted 4,6-diaryl-5-nitro-3,4-dihydropyrimidin-2(1H)-ones depending on the structure of aldehyde. Intermediate 4,6-diaryl-4-hydroxy-3-methyl-5-nitrohexahydropyrimidin-2-ones and trisubstituted urea, which is the transformation product of the 4-hydroxy-3-methyl derivative in an acidic medium (retro-Henry reaction), were identified in the reaction mixtures. Dedicated to the memory of Academician N. N. Vorozhtsov on the 100th anniversary of his birth. Published in Russian in Izvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Theoretical study on the reaction of the phenoxy radical with O2, OH,and NO2

Unlike the chemistry underlying the self‐coupling of phenoxy (C₆H₅O) radicals, there are very limited kinetics data at elevated temperatures for the reaction of the phenoxy radical with other species. In this study, we investigate the addition reactions of O_2, OH, and NO₂ to the phenoxy radical. The formation of a phenoxy‐peroxy is found to be very slow with a rate constant fitted to k = 1.31 × 10^?20T^2.49 exp (?9300/T) cm³/mol/s in the temperature range of (298–2,000 K) where the addition occurs predominantly at the ortho site. Our rate constant is in line with the consensus of opinions in the literature pointing to the observation of no discernible reaction between the oxygen molecule and the resonance‐stabilized phenoxy radical. Addition of OH at the ortho and para sites of the phenoxy radical is found to afford adducts with sizable well depths of 59.8 and 56.0 kcal/mol, respectively. The phenoxy‐NO₂ bonds are found to be among the weakest known phenoxy‐radical bonds (1.7–8.7 kcal/mol). OH‐ and O₂‐initiated mechanisms for the degradation of atmospheric phenoxy appear to be negligible and the fate of atmospheric phenoxy is found to be controlled by its reaction with NO₂. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Radical Cyclization of 1,n-Enynes and 1,n-Dienes for the Synthesis of 2-Pyrrolidone

2-Pyrrolidones have aroused enormous interest as a useful structural moiety in drug discovery; however, not only does their syntheses suffer from low selectivity and yield, but also it requires high catalyst loadings. The radical cyclization of 1,n-enynes and 1,n-dienes has demonstrated to be an attractive method for the synthesis of 2-pyrrolidones due to its mild reaction conditions, fewer steps, higher atom economy, excellent functional group compatibility, and high regioselectivity. Furthermore, radical receptors with unsaturated bonds (i. e. 1,n-enynes and 1,n-dienes) play a crucial role in realizing radical cyclization because of the ability to selectively introduce one or more radical sources. In this review, we discuss representative examples of methods involving the radical cyclization of 1,n-enynes and 1,n-dienes published in the last five years and discuss each prominent reaction design and mechanism, providing favorable tools for the synthesis of valuable 2-pyrrolidone for a variety of applications.

Reaction of 2-chloro-3-(4-N,N-dimethylaminoanilino)-1,4-naphthoquinone with cyclic amines (piperidine,morpholine, and pyrrolidine)

It was shown that the reaction of 2-chloro-3-(4-N,N-dimethylaminoanilino)-1,4-naphthoquinone with piperidine in the absence of a solvent gives not only a product of replacement of the chlorine atom by a piperidino group, 3-(4-N,N-dimethylaminoanilino)-2-piperidino-1,4-naphthoquinone, but also 2-(4-N,N-dimethylaminoanilino)-1,4-naphthoquinone and 2-(4-N,N-dimethylaminoanilino-2-piperidino)-1,4-naphthoquinone. The latter compounds are the only reaction products formed in dimethyl sulfoxide. The reaction with morpholine occurs in a similar way, whereas that with pyrrolidine gives only a product of replacement of the chlorine atom by hydrogen.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.
