Synthesis of 1-(2-polyfluoroacylaminophenyl)-3-polyfluoroalkylpropane-1,3-diones and 2-polyfluoroalkyl-4-quinolones

The condensation of 2-aminoacetophenone with R^FCO₂Et (R^F = CF₃, CF₂H, CF₂CF₂H) in the presence of LiH in THF or Bu^tOK in Bu^tOH affords either 2-polyfluoroalkyl-4-quinolones or 1-(2-polyfluoroacylaminophenyl)-3-polyfluoroalkylpropane-1,3-diones, depending on the ratio of the initial reactants. The latter are hydrolyzed in an acidic medium to produce 2-polyfluoroalkyl-4-quinolones. N-Methyl-2-trifluoromethyl-4-quinolone was synthesized from 2-aminoacetophenone, CF₃CO₂Et, and MeI in the presence of Bu^tOK.

Synthesis of novel 3-(1,3-thiazol-2-yl)-7,8-dihydroquinoline-2,5(1H,6H)-diones

An efficient method for the synthesis of novel 3-(1,3-thiazol-2-yl)-7,8-dihydroquinoline-2,5(1H,6H)-diones from various 2-dimethylaminomethylidenecyclohexane-1,3-diones, (1,3-thiazol-2-yl)acetonitriles, and dimethylformamide dimethyl acetal was developed. These transformations proceeded through intermediate 2-[2-(4-aryl-1,3-thiazol-2-yl)-2-cyanoethenyl]-3-oxocyclohex-1-en-1-olates. They were isolated as piperidinium salts and used in further heterocyclization reactions with aromatic amines, giving novel 1-aryl-3-(1,3-thiazol-2-yl)-7,8-dihydroquinoline-2,5(1H,6H)-diones. These compounds were also obtained by preparative three-step “one pot” synthesis under controlled microwave irradiation. Published in Russian in Izvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Anchored complexes of Ni,Pt, and Pd on Fe3O4 nanoparticles as new and eco-friendly nanocatalysts in Suzuki and Heck coupling reactions

Abstract

Three recoverable nanocatalysts were developed by immobilizing Ni, Pt, and Pd Schiff-base complexes on the magnetite nanoparticles. Successful preparation of the nanocatalysts was evidenced by Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) and energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) spectroscopy. Nano-sized spherical structure of the nanocatalysts was indicated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) determined that the crystalline cubic spinel structure of Fe₃O₄ remained constant through the synthesis of three complexes on Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles. Magnetic properties of the nanocatalysts were analyzed by the vibration sample magnetometer (VSM). Thermostability of the nanocatalysts was studied by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). Metal loading of these nanocatalysts was evidenced by inductively coupled plasma atomic emission (ICP-AES).

Investigating the catalytic activity of these nanocatalysts in Suzuki and Heck reactions implicated that in the presence of Pd nanocatalyst coupling reactions proceeded efficiently. For Pt nanocatalyst, Suzuki reaction took place in longer time with moderate to good yield. For the Heck reaction, the desired products were achieved only for aryl iodide and some aryl bromides. The Ni nanocatalyst could just catalyze the Suzuki reaction.

Relying on the magnetic characteristic, these nanocatalysts could be simply recovered and reused several cycles without significant loss in catalytic activity.     

Expanding the substitution pattern of 2(1H)-pyrazinones via Suzuki and Heck reactions

Various 3,5-dichloropyrazinones were substituted at the C-3 position with (hetero)aryl, alkyl and alkenyl groups by means of Suzuki and Heck reactions. The methodology could be extended to reactions on the far less reactive C-5 position by transhalogenation of the 5-Cl substituent to a 5-Br or a 5-I group prior to performing the cross-coupling.     

New routes for the synthesis of 3- and 5-substituted 2(1H)-pyrazinones

Various 3-(hetero)aryl, 3-alkyl and 3-alkenyl-2(1H)-pyrazinones were prepared by applying the Suzuki and Heck reaction methodology to 3,5-dichloro-2(1H)-pyrazinones. Furthermore, following hydrogenolysis of the 5-chloro substituent and regioselective 5-bromination, this palladium-catalysed cross-coupling approach could be extended to the synthesis of the analogous 5-substituted 2(1H)-pyrazinones.
