1,2,5-, 1,3,4- and 1,2,4-Oxadiazoles

Discrepancies found for some oxygen-containing compounds in a recent VESCF study of dipole moments have been further investigated by studying in detail furan, oxazole, isoxazole, and three isomeric oxadiazoles. In a preliminary geometrical study it was found that the method described previously for estimating ring angles and bond lengths satisfactorily accounted for observed geometries. However in those compounds where more than one ring atom carries lone pair -electrons, the electrostatic forces originating in these lone-pair dipoles have a considerable influence on ring geometry. When this is incorporated in the geometrical treatment, good agreement with known geometries is obtained.The effect of using Burns' rules for orbital exponents rather than Slater's rules to derive lone pair moments and the effect of including lone pair potentials in the hamiltonian have been studied. The best agreement between calculated and observed dipole moments (within 0.2 D) is obtained by using the BJ method that was used in the previous study but with revised values for some of the basic resonance integrals. The revised values are shown to be more in keeping with the relevant bond lengths and atomic numbers than the values previously used.

Zusammenfassung Die in einer VESCF- (PPP mit Elektronegativitäts-Variation) Untersuchung über Dipolmomente aufgetretenen Abweichungen bei einigen O-haltigen Ringen wurden untersucht. Bei Ringen, die mehrere einsame Elektronenpaare tragen, muß die kürzlich angegebene einfache Methode zur Bestimmung der Geometrie durch zusätzliche Berücksichtigung der elektrostatischen Kräfte zwischen diesen Elektronenpaaren erweitert werden. Die Burnsschen Orbitalexponenten führen bei den einsamen Elektronenpaaren zu besseren Ergebnissen, als die Slaterschen. Die besten Dipolmomente werden mit der sog. BJ-Methode erhalten (Fehler < 0,2 D); allerdings wurden einige Resonanzintegrale gegenüber früheren Rechnungen abgeändert. Diese Resonanzintegrale entsprechen auch besser den Bindungslängen und Kernladungen.

Résumé On a réétudié les contradictions trouvées pour certains composés oxygénés dans une étude récente des moments dipolaires par la méthode VESCF, en examinant en détail le furane, l'oxazole, l'isoxazole et trois oxadiazoles isomères. La méthode précédemment décrite pour l'estimation des angles du cycle et des longueurs de liaison rend compte de façon satisfaisante des géometries observées. Cependant dans les composés où plus d'un atome du cycle porte des paires libres d'électrons , les forces électrostatiques provenant de ces dipôles ont une influence considérable sur la géométrie du cycle. Lorsque l'on tient compte de cela dans le traitement de la géométrie, un bon accord est obtenu avec l'expérience.On a étudié l'effet provoqué par l'usage des règles de Burns plutôt que celles de Slater pour les exposants orbitaux pour l'obtention des moments des paires libres ainsi que l'effet de l'inclusion des potentiels des paires libres dans l'hamiltonien. Le meilleur accord entre moments dipolaires calculés et observés (á 0,2 D. près) est obtenu en utilisant la méthode BJ utilisée dans l'étude précédente mais avec des valeurs révisées pour certaines intégrales de résonance fondamentales. Ces nouvelles valeurs sont plus consistances avec les longueurs de liaison et les nombres atomiques que celles précédemment utilisées.

Efficient methods have been developed for obtaining precursors of stable carbenes, viz. 5-unsubstituted 3,4-diaryl-1,2,4-triazoles and 3,3′- or 4,4′-bridge linked bis-1,2,4-triazoles, by the recyclization of 5-unsubstituted 1,3,4-oxadiazoles or p-phenylenebis-1,3,4-oxadiazole with anilines or aromatic diamines in the presence of trifluoroacetic acid or with aniline hydrochlorides in pyridine. __________ Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 7, pp. 1026–1032, July, 2005.     

Reactions of 1,2,4-Oxadiazole[4,5-a]piridinium Salts with Alcohols: the Synthesis of Alkoxybutadienyl 1,2,4-Oxadiazoles

1,2,4-Oxadiazole[4,5-a]piridinium salts add alcohols and alkoxides to undergo electrocyclic ring opening affording alkoxybutadienyl 1,2,4-oxadiazole derivatives. The pyridinium salts represent a special class of Zincke salts that are prone to rearrange to give alkoxybutadienyl 1,2,4-oxadiazoles when treated with suitable nucleophiles or, alternatively, to give pyridones in the presence of bicarbonate. The pivotal tuning of the experimental conditions leads to a straightforward synthesis of valuable 1,2,4-oxadiazole derivatives. The mechanism is also discussed in the light of previous observations.     

1,2,4-Triazines X: Dimerizations of 1,2,4-triazmes

5,5′-Bi-1,2,4-triazinyl compounds are obtained by the treatment of 5-unsubstiluted 1,2,4-triazines with either sodium methoxide or with aqueous potassium cyanide. 5,5′-Bi-1,2,4-triazinyl is also obtained by the reaction of 1,2,4-triazine with potassium cyanide. It is proposed that the sodium methoxide catalyzed dimerizations occur via a carbanionic intermediate; the aqueous potassium cyanide catalyzed reactions via a cyanide addition product and the potassium in liquid ammonia reaction via a free radical dimerization process.     

1,2,4-Oxadiazoles from cycloreversions of oxadiazabicyclo[3.2.0]heptenes: 1-azetines as thiocyanate equivalents

1,3-Dipolar cycloaddition of nitrile oxides to 4-aryl-2-alkylthio-1-azetines gave a series of oxadiazabicyclo[3.2.0]heptenes as single diastereoisomers. Heating these cycloadducts in toluene resulted in an overall [2+2]-cycloreversion to give 5-alkylthio-3-aryl-1,2,4-oxadiazoles. In this process, the 1-azetine behaves as a thiocyanate equivalent. When the nitrile oxide substituent was 2-azidobenzene, the azide could be converted into a 1,2,3-triazole giving a (1,2,4-oxadiazolo)-(1,2,3-triazolo)-1,2-disubstituted benzene. 1,2,4-Oxadiazoles are sought after in medicinal chemistry and materials sciences.

Cyclic adrenaline derivatives. Aryl-2-Piperidyl-Carbinols

A synthetic route; to 3,4-dihydroxyphenyl-(2-piperidyl)earbinols is described. These novel catecholamines may be regarded as derivatives of adrenaline containing a cyclic side-chain moiety. Their biological action appears to be more selective than that of adrenaline or isoprenaline and the more active of these compounds show promise as powerful bronchodilators with minimum cardiac effect.

Aryl- and acetylene-nickel(I) complexes

Reduction of various pentafluorophenylnickel(II) complexes in the presence of phosphines gives unstable nickel(I) compounds but Ni(C₆F₅)(CO)₂(PPh₃)₂ is isolated in the presence of CO. Similar NiR(CO)₂(PPh₃)₂ (R = C₆F₅,C₆Cl₅, 2,3,5,6-C₆Cl₄H) are obtained by reaction of the halogenonickel(I) complex with MgRBr or LiR. Reduction of NiX₂L₂ in the presence of acetylenes gives [NiXL₂]₂(μ-PhCCR) (R = H, X = Cl and R = Ph, X = Cl, Br) when L = P-n-Bu₃ but only NiX(PPh₃)₃ are recovered when L = PPh₃. No reaction with the alkyne is observed for [NiX(PPh₃)₂]_n but [NiCl(PPh₃)]_n reacts with RCCR′ to give paramagnetic NiCl(PPh₃)(CRCR′) (R = Ph, R′= H, COOEt), diamagnetic [NiCl(PPh₃)]₂(μ-PhCCPh) and cyclotrimerization when R = R′ = COOMe. Chemical and structural behaviour of the new nickel(I) complexes is described.
