Oxidation of 3,5-disubstituted 6-methyl-1,2,4-triazines

The corresponding substituted 1,2,4-triazine-6-carboxylic acids were obtained by oxidation of 3,5-disubstituted 6-methyl-1,2,4-triazines with hydrogen peroxide in an acidic medium. It is shown that the nature of the substituents does not affect the course of the process.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 9, pp. 1271–1273, September, 1982.     

New Tricyclic Amides. Synthesis,Structure, and Oxidation with Peroxyphthalic Acid

4-Azatricyclo[5.2.1.0^2,6]dec-8-ene was synthesized and brought into reactions with benzoyl, o-chlorobenzoyl, p-bromobenzoyl, p-, m-, and o-nitrobenzoyl, and bicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-ene-endo-5,endo-6-dicarboximidoacetyl chlorides in chloroform in the presence of pyridine. The tricyclic amides thus obtained were epoxidated with peroxyphthalic acid prepared in situ by reaction of phthalic anhydride with a 35% aqueous solution of hydrogen peroxide. The structure of newly synthesized compounds was confirmed by IR and ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry. Their NMR spectra were compared with those of previously synthesized N-arylsulfonyl-4-azatricyclo[5.2.1.0^2,6]dec-8-enes on the basis of conformational composition of the corresponding p-nitrophenyl-substituted derivatives, which was determined by PM3 semi-empirical quantum-chemical calculations.__________Translated from Zhurnal Organicheskoi Khimii, Vol. 41, No. 6, 2005, pp. 837–845.Original Russian Text Copyright © 2005 by L.

The mechanism of the alkylation of isoxazolidin-3-one

In solvents of different polarities, the lactam-lactim tautomeric equilibrium of isoxazoli-din-3-one is strongly displaced in the direction of the lactam. The lactim form cannot be detected. It has been concluded that there is no connection between the dual chemical behavior of isoxazolidin-3-one and its potassium salt in the alkylation reaction with the equilibrium isomerization of these compounds. It has been shown that the mechanism of alkylation is connected with the structure of the lactam anion. Evidence is given in favor of a mesomeric structure of the anion with the main charge on the nitrogen at which substitution chiefly takes place.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 7, pp. 898–901, July, 1973.     

Synthesis of 4- and 6-methyl derivatives of 5,7-dioxo(4h,6h)-1,3-dithiolo[4,5-d]pyrimidine based on methylbarbituric acids,spectroscopic characteristics and acidity constants

We have obtained previously unknown 1-methyl- and 1,3-dimethyl-5-diethylaminothiocarbonylthiobarbituric acids by reaction of sodium diethyldithiocarbamate with 5-phenyliodonium betaines of 1-methyl- and 1,3-dimethylbarbituric acids. Cyclization of these compounds upon heating in conc. H₂SO₄ gives methyl-substituted 5,7-dioxo(4H,6H)-1,3-dithiolo[4,5-d]pyrimidine-2-diethylimmonium hydrosulfates; the derivative of 1-methylbarbituric acid forms a mixture of 4-methyl- and 6-methyl-substituted compounds (21). We isolated perchlorates of 4-methyl- and 4,6-dimethyl-substituted derivatives in pure form. By treatment of the immonium salt with sodium sulfide or selenide, we obtained 4-methyl- and 4,6-dimethyl-5,7-dioxo(4H,6H)-1,3-dithiolo[4,5-d]pyrimidine-2-thiones and 4-methyl-, 6-methyl-, and 4,6-dimethyl-2-selenones. We characterized the isomeric 4- and 6-methyl-substituted selenones by electronic absorption spectra and ionization constants (7.65 and 4.0). The differences in the pK values and in the electronic absorption spectra makes it possible to distinguish the substitution site in N-mono-substituted derivatives of 5,7-dioxo(4H,6H)-1,3-dithiolo[4,5-d]pyrimidine.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 11, pp. 1526–1533, November, 1993.     

Researches on benzodiazines

2-R-Quinazolones have been synthesized (R=Me, Ph,-pyridyl,-furyl), and subsequently the 4-chlorides and the corresponding 2-R-4-hydrazinoquinazolines were obtained. By the reaction of orthoformic ester and nitric acid on the hydrazines, 5-R- [3, 4-c]-s-triazoloquinazolines and 5-R- [1, 5-c] tetrazoloquinazolines were prepared, respectively. The compounds in which R=Me differ considerably from compounds with other groups, both in color and stability of intermediate reaction products. 5-R- [1, 5-c] tetrazoloquinazolines are hydrolyzed by HCl into quinazol-4-ones.For Part IV see [1].     

Investigations in the 1,2,4-triazole series

To select a method for the synthesis of the previously difficulty accessible 5-bromo-1-phenyl-1,2,4-triazole (I) and 1-phenyl-1,2,4-triazoline-5-thione (II), a MO LCAO calculation has been carried out in Huckel's approximation of the energies of the radical, electrophilic, and nucleophilic localization on the various carbon atoms of 1-phenyl-1,2,4-triazole (III). In accordance with this calculation, the required compounds have been obtained in good yields by reactions taking place by a radical mechanism: I by bromination with bromosuccinimide and II by the direct thionation of III. The high reactivity of the bromine atom in position 5 has been noted.For part VIII, see [1].     

Synthesis ofS-(+)-hydroprene

A novel path toS-(+)-hydroprene (1) starting from the technical gradeS-(+)-dihydromyrcene (2, e.e. 50%) is proposed. The latter was selectively transformed intoS-3,7-dimethyloctanal (5) in three steps including hydroalumination. The reactions of5 with allyl- or methallylmagnesium chloride followed, respectively, either by oxygenation in the presence of PdCl₂/CuCl or by ozonolysis, affordS,E-6,10-dimethyl-3-undecen-2-one (7) which was treated with ethoxyethynylmagnesium bromide to give the title juvenile hormone analogue in 23% overall yield.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of the [Re2(CH3COO)2Cl4((CH3)2NCOCH3)2] Complex

Compound [Re₂(CH₃COO)₂Cl₄((CH₃)₂NCOCH₃)₂] is synthesized. The influence of parameters of the hydrothermal synthesis under elevated pressure on the yield of a target product and its molecular structure and physicochemical properties is studied. In the neutral complex with cis-arrangement of the bridging acetate and terminal chloride ligands with respect to the multiply bonded Re₂ ⁶⁺ complex-forming center, the Re–Re bond length is 2.2418(3) Å. Dimethylacetamide molecules are in the axial positions, the Re–O bond lengths being 2.304(3) and 2.321(4) Å. The influence of the donor ability of the axial substituents in analogous structures of the rhenium(III) binuclear clusters on the Re–Re and Re–L_ax bond lengths is analyzed.
