Stereoselective synthesis of (2E) 3‐amino‐2‐(1H‐benzimidazol‐2‐yl)acrylate and symmetric bisacrylates by transamination reactions

A range of various amines 2(a–i) was tested in transamination reactions using ethyl 2‐(1H‐benzimidazol‐2‐yl)‐3‐dimethylamino‐acrylate 1a. The (E)‐s‐cis/trans conformation of some representative products 4 was analyzed by ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectra. The C‐2/C‐3 bond of the compounds 3(a–i) is strongly polarized by a push‐pull effect. In the same manner, reactions of ethyl 2‐(benzoxazol‐2‐yl)‐3‐dimethylamino‐acrylate 1c with 1,4‐diaminobenzene 2i, ethylenediamine 2i, and 1,5‐diaminomaphthalene 2k have been investigated and gave directly the corresponding symmetric bis‐acrylates 4(a–c) in good yields. © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

NMR studies on 1,2‐dihydro‐2‐(4‐aminophenyl)‐4‐[4‐(4‐aminophenoxy)‐4‐phenyl]‐(2H)phthalazin‐1‐one

An unsymmetrical heterocyclic diamine, 1,2‐dihydro‐2‐(4‐aminophenyl)‐4‐[4‐(4‐aminophenoxy)‐4‐phenyl]‐(2H)phthalazin‐1‐one, was synthesized. Its ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectra were completely assigned by utilizing the two‐dimensional heteronuclear ¹³C–¹H multiple‐bond coherence (HMBC) spectroscopy, and heteronuclear ¹³C–¹H one‐bond correlation spectroscopy, homonuclear shift correlation spectroscopy (H,H‐COSY) and rotating frame Overhauser enhancement spectroscopy (ROESY). The structure of the compound was shown to be the phthalazinone rather than the phthalazine ether from cross peaks and chemical shifts of the protons. Copyright © 2002 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Condensation products of 1‐aryl‐4‐carboxy‐ 2‐ pyrrolidinones with o‐diaminoarenes,o‐aminophenol,and their structural studies

A series of 2‐substituted benzimidazoles, benzoxazoles were synthesized by the condensation reactions of 1‐aryl‐4‐carboxy‐2‐pyrrolidinones and aromatic ortho‐diamines or ortho‐aminophenol. Alkylation of benzimidazoles with iodoalkanes led to 1‐aryl‐4‐(1‐alkyl‐1H‐benzimidazol‐2‐yl)‐2‐pyrrolidin‐ ones or 1,3‐dialkylbenzimidazolium iodides. N‐Subs‐ tituted γ‐amino acids were prepared by the hydrolysis of 1‐aryl‐4‐(1H‐benzimidazol‐2‐yl)‐2‐pyrrolidinones in sodium hydroxide solution, followed by treatment with acetic acid. The structure of the synthesized pro‐ ducts was investigated using IR and ¹H, ¹³C NMR spectra, MM2 molecular mechanics, and AM1 semi‐ empirical quantum mechanical methods. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Pinacol Rearrangement of 3,4‐Dihydro‐3,4‐dihydroxyquinolin‐2(1H)‐ones: An Alternative Pathway to Viridicatin Alkaloids and Their Analogs

3‐Alkyl/aryl‐3‐hydroxyquinoline‐2,4‐diones were reduced with NaBH₄ to give cis‐3‐alkyl/aryl‐3,4‐dihydro‐3,4‐dihydroxyquinolin‐2(1H)‐ones. These compounds were subjected to pinacol rearrangement by treatment with concentrated H₂SO₄, resulting in 4‐alkyl/aryl‐3‐hydroxyquinolin‐2(1H)‐ones. When a benzyl (Bn) group was present in position 3 of the starting compound, its elimination occurred during the rearrangement, and the corresponding 3‐hydroxyquinolin‐2(1H)‐one was formed. The reaction mechanisms are discussed for all transformations. All compounds were characterized by IR, ¹H‐ and ¹³C‐NMR spectroscopy, as well as mass spectrometry.

One‐ and two‐dimensional NMR characterization of N‐vinyl‐2‐pyrrolidone/methyl acrylate copolymers

N‐vinyl‐2‐pyrrolidone/methyl acrylate (V/M) copolymers were prepared by free‐radical bulk polymerization using benzoyl peroxide as an initiator. The copolymer composition of these copolymers was calculated from ¹H NMR spectra. The radical reactivity ratios for N‐vinyl‐2‐pyrrolidone (V) and methyl acrylate (M) were r_V = 0.09, r_M = 0.44. These reactivity ratios for the copolymerization of V and M were determined using the Kelen–Tudos and nonlinear least‐squares error‐in‐variable methods. The ¹³C{¹H} and ¹H NMR spectra of these copolymers overlapped and were complex. The complete spectral assignment of the ¹³C and ¹H NMR spectra were done with distortionless enhancement by polarization transfer and two dimensional ¹³C‐¹H heteronuclear single quantum correlation spectroscopic experiments. The two‐dimensional ¹H‐¹H homonuclear total correlation spectroscopic NMR spectrum showed the various bond interactions, thus inferring the possible structure of the copolymers. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
