Azo coupling of 5-substituted furan-2(3H)-ones and 1H-pyrrol-2(3H)-ones with arene(hetarene)diazonium salts

5-Substituted furan-2(3H)-ones and 1-phenyl-1H-pyrrol-2(3H)-ones reacted with diazonium salts derived from substituted anilines and 1H-1,2,4-triazol-5-amine to give azo coupling products at the methylene group in the heteroring. The products were found to exist as hydrazone tautomers.     

Ozonolysis of dipterocarpol and its derivatives

Oxidation of dipterocarpol and its derivatives with ozone gave compounds containing lactone, lactol, alkoxytetrahydrofuran, aldehyde, and methyl ketone fragments in the side chain, as well as 1,2,4-trioxolane fragment in the A ring. The molecular and crystalline structures of dipterocarpol were determined by X-ray analysis.     

Synthesis of amino-acid derivatives of formononetin and cladrin

Aminomethylation of natural isoflavones by amino acids was studied. Conditions for selective production of N-(4H-4-oxochromen-8-yl)methyl-substituted amino acids were found.
