Synthesis and regioselectivity of the [3,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement of substituted 2-allylthio- and 2-allylseleno-1,4-dihydropyridines

The reaction of 3-cyano-1,4-dihydropyridine-2-thiolates and the corresponding selenolates with allyl bromide gave 2-allylthio- and 2-allylseleno-3-cyano-1,4-dihydropyridines, which, upon heating in various solvents or in the solid state, undergo [3,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement to give 3-cyano-3-allyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyridine-2-thiones and the corresponding selenones. The resultant pyridinethiones are alkylated by alkyl halides at the sulfur atom and are oxidized by iodine to give disulfides.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 8, pp. 1888–1895, August, 1991.     

Aliphatic aldehydes in the synthesis of carbo- and heterocycles: Part II. Synthesis of six- and seven-membered rings, bicyclic compounds, and macrocycles

The review summarizes and systematizes data published over the past decade on the use of aliphatic aldehydes in the synthesis of six- and seven-membered carbo- and heterocycles, bicyclic compounds, and macrocycles. Biological activity and synthetic potential of the resulting compounds were also considered. The data are classed according to the ring type formed.     

4-alkyl-6-amino-4-N 3,N 5-diaryl-2-thioxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyridine-3,5-dicarboxamides: I. Tandem synthesis and alkylation. Molecular and crystal structure of 6-allylsulfanyl-2-amino-4-isobutyl-N 3,N 5-di-m-tolyl-3,4-dihydropyridine-3,5-dicarboxamide

4-Alkyl-6-amino-4-N ³,N ⁵-diaryl-2-thioxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyridine-3,5-dicarboxamides were obtained via tandem synthesis involving the Knoevenagel reaction, Michael reaction and intramolecular condensation. Alkylation of the obtained dicarboxamides proceeds regioselectively at the S atom to form the corresponding thioethers. Structure of 6-allylsulfanyl-2-amino-4-isobutyl-N ³,N ⁵-di-m-tolyl-3,4-dihydropyridine-3,5-dicarboxamide was uniquely determined by XRD analysis.     

4-Alkyl-6-amino-N 3,N 5-diaryl-2-thioxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyridine-3,5-dicarboxamides: II. Synthesis and selected reactions

New 4-alkyl-6-amino-N ³,N ⁵-diaryl-2-thioxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyridine-3,5-dicarboxamides have been prepared via enantioselective reaction of 3-amino-N-aryl-3-thioxopropanamides with N-aryl-2-cyanoacetamide and aliphatic aldehydes. The prepared products can be regioselectively alkylated at sulfur atom.

Fused pyrimidine systems: XIII. Synthesis and some transformations of 1,3-thiazolo(thiazino)-fused pyrido[3,4-d]pyrimidines

2-[Allyl(propargyl)sulfanyl]pyrido[3,4-d]pyrimidin-4-ones at heating in polyphosphoric acid undergo an intramolecular cyclization with the formation of pyrido[4,3-e]thiazolo-[3,2-a]pyrimidin-5-ones of angular structure. Under similar conditions the cyclization of 2-(cinnamylsulfanyl)pyrido[3,4-d]-pyrimidin-4-one results in a linear pyrido[3′,4′:4,5]pyrimido-[2,1-b][1,3]thiazin-6-one. The iodocyclization of the same substrates affords the corresponding 9-(iodomethyl)(iodomethylidene)pyrido[4,3-e][1,3]thiazolo-[3,2-a]pyrimidin-5-ones and 3-iodopyrido[3′,4′:4,5]pyrimido[2,1-b][1,3]thiazin-6-one of angular structure. 9-(Iodomethyl)-8,9-dihydro-5H-pyrido[4,3-e][1,3]thiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidin-5-one treated with sodium azide gave 9-(azidomethyl) derivative whose cyclization with substituted alkynes in the presence of copper compounds provided pyrido [4,3-e][1,3]thiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidinylmethyltriazoles.     

New Multicomponent Synthesis of Functionalized Nitriles and Esters of 6-Alkylsulfanyl-1,4-dihydronicotinic Acids

The multicomponent condensation of malononitrile, hydrogen sulfide, aryl or hetaryl aldehydes, 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds and alkylating reagents afforded functionalized nitriles and esters of 6-alkylsulfanyl-1,4-dihydronicotinic acids, their aromatic analogues and 1,4-dihydrothieno[2,3-b]pyridines.

Reactions of polyfluorocarbonyl compounds and their trifluoroacetylimines with fused heterocycles

C-Hydroxy- andC-aminoalkylation of iminodibenzyl, iminostilbene, phenoxazine, and phenothiazine with hexafluoroacetone, methyl trifluoropyruvate, and their trifluoroacetylimines were investigated. The substitution occurred at one or severalpara- andortho-positions to the N atom of the heterocycles. In the case of methyl trifluoropyruvate and its derivative the substitution in theortho-position was accompanied by the formation of lactams.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.
