Prostanoids: LXXVI. Synthesis and Specific Features of Reductive Dechlorination with the System Zn-NH4Cl-MeOH of Some 3-N-, O-, S-, Cl-, and Alkyl-substituted 2-Chloro-4,4-ethylenedioxycyclopent-2-en-1-ones Ozonolysis of 3-Caren-5-one

Reaction of a number of 3-N-, O-, S-, Cl-, and alkyl-substituted 2-chloro-4,4-ethylenedioxycyclopent-2-en-1-ones with Zn in NH₄Cl-MeOH medium were investigated.The expected or partially transformed dehydrochlorination products were isolated. An exclusive chemical stability of 3N-containing cyclopentenones was disclosed. This phenomenon was understood as originating from stabilizing n-d-p-interaction of electrons belonging to heteroatoms in the planar C¹(O)-C²(Cl)-C³ 3(N) fragment contained in the molecules of the compounds.     

5-Schwefelsubstituierte 1,2-Dithiol-3-one

1, 2-Dithioles with sulfur substitutents in position 5 are prepared by reaction of 4-chloro-1, 2-dithiol-3-ones with thiols, sulfinates, dithiocarbamates, or potassium ethylxanthate. Bis-(4-chloro-1, 2-dithiol-3-on-5-yl) sulfide is produced from 4, 5-dichloro-1, 2-dithiol-3-one with sodium thiosulfate and other thiol forming reagents. The 5-alkylthio- and 5-arylthio-1, 2-dithiol-3-ones can be oxidized with peracids to sulfoxides and, partly, to sulfones; the sulfones can also be obtained from sulfinates. 4-Chloro-5-(α-methyl-benzylthio)-1, 2-dithiol-3-one reacts differently with peracetic acid, giving bis-(4-chloro-1, 2-dithiol-3-on-5-yl) disulfide besides 4-chloro-1, 2-dithiol-3-one. With oxalyl chloride, 4-chloro-5-alkylthio-1, 2-dithiol-3-ones form 3, 4-dichloro-dithioliumchlorides, which react with anilines to give 3-phenylimino-4-chloro-5-alkylthio-1, 2-dithioles.     

3-Nitro-1,2,4-triazol-5-one derivatives

3-Nitro-1,2,4-triazol-5-one and its monomethyl derivatives react with methyl vinyl ketone to give products of addition to the ring N₁ and N₄ atoms. The reaction with formaldehyde and N-methylolacetamide proceeds only at the N₁ atom. The keto derivatives of 3-nitro-1,2,4-triazol-5-one undergo the Schmidt reaction to give the corresponding acetamides. A number of compounds that include functional groups in the N₁-alkyl substituent of the 3-nitro ring were obtained by treatment of the bases of N₁-substituted 3,5-dinitro-1,2,4-triazoles in aprotic media.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 4, pp. 552–558, April, 1981.

The Michael addition of 5-bromo-inden-1-one with ammonia followed by acylation with trifluoroacetic anhydride provides 5-bromo-3-trifluoroacetamidoindan-1-one in 51% yield in one-pot.     

Ozonolysis of geraniol-trans, 6-methyl-5-hepten-2-one, and 6-hydroxy-4-methyl-4-hexenal: kinetics and mechanisms

A combined density functional theory and transition-state theory study of the mechanisms and reaction coefficients of gas-phase ozonolysis of geraniol-trans, 6-methyl-5-hepten-2-one, and 6-hydroxy-4-methyl-4-hexenal is presented. The geometries, energies, and harmonic vibrational frequencies of each stationary point were determined by B3LYP/6-31(d,p), MPW1K/cc-pVDZ, and BH&HLYP/cc-pVDZ methods. According to the calculations, the ozone 6-methyl-5-hepten-2-one reaction is faster than the ozone 6-hydroxy-4-methyl-4-hexenal reaction, but both are slower than the ozone geraniol-trans reaction. By using the BH&HLYP/cc-pVDZ data, a global rate coefficient of 5.9 x 10(-16) cm(3) molecule(-1) s(-1) was calculated, corresponding to the sum of geraniol-trans, 6-methyl-5-hepten-2-one, and 6-hydroxy-4-methyl-4-hexenal reactions with the ozone. These results are in good agreement with the experimental studies.     

Ozonolysis of (1R,cis)-4,7,7-Trimethyl-3-oxabicyclo[4.1.0]hept-4-en-2-one

The structure of peroxides forming in ozonolysis of enololactone and their further transformations are determined by the structure of the initial substrate and by effect of solvent used for ozonolysis.     

A novel biomimetic route to the 3-acyl-5-hydroxy-3-pyrrolin-2-one and 3-acyl-3,4-epoxy-5-hydroxypyrrolidin-2-one ring systems

Modified Moffat oxidation of alcohols 17, 22, and 25 afforded aldehydes that underwent intramolecular aldol reactions on treatment with a NaOH solution to yield 4-pyrrolin-2-ones 16, 23, and 26. Oxidation with DMDO at -40 degrees C provided 3-acyl-5-hydroxy-3-pyrrolin-2-ones 18, 24, and 27 with the ring system of oteromycin (3), UCS1025A (5), and related natural products. Further oxidation of 18 yielded 3-acyl-3,4-epoxy-5-hydroxy-pyrrolidin-2-one 19 with the ring system of fusarin C (1) and epolactaene (2). Dehydration of 18 afforded 20 with the talaroconvolutin A (4) ring system.     

Alkyldithiocarboxylation of 3-hydroxy-1-phenyl-2-pyrazolin-5-one

4-Alkyldithiocarboxylate-3,5-dihydroxy-1-phenylpyrazoles 2, are prepared in good yield by the reaction of 3-hydroxy-1-phenyl-2-pyrazolin-5-one 1 with sodium acetate in dimethylformamide (DMF), carbon disulfide and alkyl halides.     

Acylation of 5-amino-3H-1,3,4-thiadiazolin-2-one

Acylation of 5-amino-3H-1,3,4-thiadiazolin-2-one (2) was undertaken selectively at either the 3-NH position or at 5-amino group depending on reaction conditions. The 3-NH is highly acidic and acylation takes place with acid anhydrides at this position in high yields in the presence of pyridine or triethylamine. The diacylation of both the 3-position and the 5-amino group was only possible via the 5-amino-3-acyl-1,3,4-thiadiazolin-2-one intermediates 4 . Under neutral conditions, acylation only occurs at the 5-amino group with acyl chlorides forming 5-acylamino-3H-1,3,4-thiadiazolin-2-ones 5 . 5-Acetylamino-3H-1,3,4-thiadiazolin-2-one can also be synthesized by the thermal transformation of 5-amino-3-acetyl-1,3,4-thiadi-azolin-2-one in acetic acid.     

O-Alkylation of 3-hydroxy-1-phenyl-2-pyrazolin-5-one

3-Hydroxy-1-phenyl-2-pyrazolin-5-one 1 reacts with primary, secondary and allylic alcohols under catalytic acidic conditions and in the presence of 3 Å molecular sieves, to afford 3-alkoxy-1-phenyl-2-pyrazolin-5-ones 3 .     

Aroylation of 5-amino-2H-1,2,4-thiadiazolin-3-one

2-Aroyl-5-aroylamino-1,2,4-thiadiazolin-3-ones 2 have been synthesized through aroylation of 5-amino-2H-1,2,4-thiadiazolin-3-one ( 1 ) as an analog of cytosine. The aroylation was carried out with a substituted aroyl chloride in pyridine at 56–58°. It has been established that the intermediates of the reactions are 2-aroyl-5-amino-1,2,4-thiadiazolin-3-ones 3 on the basis of the spectral data, additional experimental information and ab initio molecular orbital calculations.     

Synthesis of 11-aza-5H-benzophenoxazin-5-one and 11-Aza-5H-pyridophenoxazin-5-one derivatives

The 1,6-disubstituted- and 4,6-disubstituted-11-aza-5H-benzo[a]phenoxazin-5-one as well as 6-substituted-11-aza-5H-pyrido[a]phenoxazin-5-one derivatives were prepared by the condensation of 2-amino-3-hydroxypyridine with 5-substituted-2,3-dihalogeno-1,4-naphthoquinones and 6,7-dibromo-5,8-quinolinequinone respectively. The resulting compounds were subjected to reduction, acetylation, dehalogenation and reaction with aniline.
