This paper reports a facile and convenient access by a conventional thermal procedure in ethanol as solvent to a new examples of (E)‐6‐[2‐ferrocenylalkylidenehydrazino]nicotinic hydrazides ( 3 ) (53–72%) from the quimioselective reactions of 6‐hydrazinonicotinc hydrazide ( 1 ) with acylferrocenes ( 2 ), where acyl = formyl and acetyl. Subsequently, cyclocondensation reactions of ferrocenylalkylidene hydrazones ( 3 ) with 4‐R¹‐4‐alkoxy‐1,1,1‐trifluoroalk‐3‐en‐2‐ones ( 4 ), where R¹ = Me, Ph, 2‐Furyl, to obtain new six heterocyclic derivatives as (E)‐pyrazolyl‐pyridinohydrazones ( 5 ) (58–63%), are also presented. The structures of these new heterocyclic compounds 5 containing an organometallic unit were characterized and studied by NMR, ESI–MS/MS techniques. DFT calculations were also employed to assign the E configuration for compounds 3 and 5 .

Abstract  

This work describes the regioselective synthesis of two new series of 1,1′-oxalylbis[3-(alkyl/aryl/heteroaryl)-4,5-dihydro-5-hydroxy-5-(trihalomethyl)-1H-pyrazoles], where the 3-substituents are H, Me, C₆H₅, 4-FC₆H₄, 4-ClC₆H₄, 4-BrC₆H₄, 4-NO₂C₆H₄, 4,4′-BiPh, and 2-furyl, in a one-pot methodology with ethanol as solvent, from the reaction of 4-alkoxy-4-(alkyl/aryl/heteroaryl)-1,1,1-trihaloalk-3-en-2-ones with oxalyldihydrazide (51–89%). Complementarily, the dehydration reactions of five examples of the described oxalylbispyrazolines are also reported, which furnished the respective 1,1′-oxalylbis[3-(alkyl/aryl/heteroaryl)-5-(trihalomethyl)-1H-pyrazoles] in 53–78% yields without the two C(O)–N bond cleavages.     

The first application of 4-alkoxy-1,1,1-trifluoroalk-3-en-2-ones in a three-component condensation protocol for the synthesis of 3-acyl-4-aryl-2-(trifluoromethyl)-2-hydroxy-3,4,7,8-tetrahydro-2H-chromen-5(6H)-ones

The one-pot, simple and efficient three-component condensation protocol for the preparation of a series of twenty-five new 3-acyl-4-aryl-2-(trifluoromethyl)-2-hydroxy-3,4,7,8-tetrahydro-2H-chromen-5(6H)-ones, where aryl = Ph, 4-tolyl, 4-ClPh, 4-NO₂Ph and 4-CHOPh, and acyl = Ac, Bz, 4-FBz, furan-2-oyl, thien-2-oyl and naphth-1-oyl, employing 1,3-cyclohexanedione, five aryl aldehydes and for the first time, six 4-alkyl(aryl/heteroaryl)-4-methoxy-1,1,1-trifluoroalk-3-en-2-ones, is described. Yields in 15-75% were obtained when the MCRs were performed in the presence of a catalytic amount of triethylamine (25 mol%) and in ethanol as solvent under reflux for 16 h. A representative X-ray diffraction data for 3-acetyl-4-phenyl-2-(trifluoromethyl)-2-hydroxy-3,4,7,8-tetrahydro-2H-chromen-5(6H)-one is also showed.     

Haloacetylated enol ethers. 6 [5]. Synthesis of 4,5-trimethylene-4,5-dihydroisoxazoles

The investigation of the effect of the cyclopentane ring on the regiochemistry of the reactions of 2-acetylcyclopentanones 1a-d and β-methoxyvinyl trifluoromethyl ketone derivative 2a with hydroxylamine hydrochloride is reported.

A comparative study using conventional methods,ionic liquids,microwave irradiation and combinations thereof for the synthesis of 5-trifluoroacetyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyridines

This study reports a comparison between conventional methods, ionic liquids, microwave (MW) irradiation, and combinations thereof for the synthesis of a series of fourteen 1-aryl-2-arylamino-5-trifluoroacetyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyridines. In all of the reactions tested, the products were obtained at very good yields (87–97%), but the reaction times were very different, depending on the method used. Comparing to other methods, the time decreased to 1?min when [BMIM]BF₄ under MW irradiation was used, thus evidencing a synergic effect.     

Synthesis and characterization of new trifluoromethyl substituted 3‐ethoxycarbonyl‐ and 3‐pyrimidin‐2‐yl)‐(1,2,3)‐oxathiazinane‐S‐oxides

This paper describes the synthesis and characterization of a new series of 4‐substituted‐3‐ethoxycarbonyl‐6‐trifluoromethyl‐(1,2,3)‐oxathiazinane‐S‐oxides and 3‐(4,6‐diphenyl‐pyrimidin‐2‐yl)‐6‐trifluoromethyl‐(1,2,3)oxathiazinane‐S‐oxides from the cyclization reaction of 4,4,4‐trifluoro‐3‐hydroxybutylcarbamates and 4‐(4,6‐diphenyl‐pyrimidin‐2‐ylamino)‐1,1,1‐trifluoro‐butan‐2‐ols with thionyl chloride. The analysis of the NMR data allowed us to define important features of the molecular structure. Significant chemical and structural differences were observed between the trifluoromethylated oxathiazinanes obtained in this work from other analogue compounds reported in the literature.

A weight-function approach for determining watershed initial conditions for combustion waves

In many generic combustion models, one finds that a combustionwave will develop with a specific wave speed. However, thereare possible initial temperature profiles which do not evolveinto such waves, but rather die out to the ambient temperature.There can exist, in some models, a clear distinction betweenthose initial conditions that do evolve into combustion wavesand those that do not; this is sometimes referred to as thewatershed initial condition. When fuel consumption is consideredto be negligible, analytical methods can be used to obtain theexact watershed. In this paper, we consider the problem of determiningpseudo-watersheds and ascertaining the relationship betweenthese pseudo-watersheds and the exact watersheds. In the processa novel weight-function approach for infinite spatial domainsis developed.

The structures of the pyrroles and their synthetic intermediates were supported by NMR and HRMS analysis.     

Ultrasound promoted the synthesis of N-propargylic β-enaminones

The synthesis of 14 novel N-propargylic β-enaminones from the reaction of β-alkoxy vinyltrihalomethyl[carboxyethyl] ketones [R³C(O)CHC(R¹)OMe, where R³ = CF₃, CCl₃, CO₂Et and R¹ = Me, Et, Pr, Bu, i-Pent, CH₂CH₂CO₂Me] with propargyl amines [R²NHCH₂CCH, where R² = Pr, PhCH₂] is reported. Yields, solvents and reaction times needed for reaction completion, by microwave irradiation (MW), conventional thermal heating (TH) and under ultrasound irradiation (US) are compared. The best results were obtained under US irradiation in good to excellent yields (70-93%).
