THE PECULIAR α-AMIDOALKYLATION OF VINYLTRIMETHYLSILANE

Abstract

α-Amidoalkylation of allyttrimethylsilane with methyl-2-chloro-2-(p-chlorobenzoylamino)-ethanoate 1 gave in the presence of Lewis acid racemic methyl-2- (p-chlorobenzoylamino)-4-penteno ate 2. Under the same conditions, vinlytrimethylsilane afforded (±)-trans-2-(p-chlorophenyl)-5,6-dihydro-4-methoxycarbonyl-6-trimethylsilyl-4H-1, 3-oxazine 4 as the major, by n.m.r. data and x-ray crystallography established product.     

A Novel Synthesis of α-Tellanyl α,β-Unsaturated Aldehydes Using α-Tellanyl β-Alkoxyalkenyl Lithiums

Abstract

β-Ethoxy-α-phenyltellanylvinyl lithiums were successfully generated in situ from phenyltellanylacetaldehyde diethyl acetal with lithium 2,2,6,6-tetrame-thylpiperidide (LTMP) and underwent methylation or nucleophilic addition with aldehydes and ketones. The successive dehydration of the allylic alcohols with trimethylsilyl trifluoromethanesulfonate (TMSOTf) gave α-phenyltellanyl α,β-unsaturated aldehydes, which transformed to some useful compounds.     

New aspects of reactions of methyl (thio)ureas with benzil

New pathways of reaction between 1-methylthiourea or 1-methylurea and benzil bring about new derivatives of (2S*,3aR*,6aS*)-perhydro-3aH-[1,3]dioxolo[4,5-d]imidazole and racemic (4S*,5R*)-4-alkoxy-5-hydroxy-1-methyl-4,5-diphenylimidazolidine-2-thiones. Some of the obtained urea-and thiourea derivatives were characterized by X-ray diffraction, which showed their supramolecular organization governed by the directionality of hydrogen bonds at the acceptor side C=O or C=S groups.     

Chemoselective hydrogenation of α,β-unsaturated aldehydes with modified Pd/C catalyst

Selective hydrogenation of α, β-unsaturated aldehydes with modified Pd/C catalyst was developed.The reduction of C=O bond could be efficiently inhibited by the addition of carbonates,and high selectivity to the corresponding saturated aldehydes was achieved under mild conditions.This protocol provides an alternative for efficient preparation of saturated aldehydes.     

硅胶键合N-丙基二乙烯氨基磺酸作为可回收固体酸催化剂催化合成α-氨基腈(英文)

Silica-bonded N-propyl diethylenetriamine sulfamic acid (SBPDSA) is employed as a recyclable catalyst to synthesize α-aminonitriles. These syntheses involved one-pot condensation of an aldehyde, an amine, and trimethylsilyl cyanide under mild reaction conditions at room temperature. SBPDSA was recycled seven times in the condensation of benzaldehyde, aniline, and trimethylsilyl cyanide without reduction of its catalytic activity.     

Syntheses of 1,5-Benzothiazepines-Part XXXI: Syntheses and Antimicrobial Studies of 10-Substituted-7- (monochlorophenyl/dichlorophenyl)-6H-6a,7-dihydro-6-phenyl[1]benzopyrano[3,4-c]-[1,5]benzothiazepines

Abstract

Two flavindogenides, 3-(2-chlorobenzylidene)-flavanone and 3-(2,4-dichloro- benzylidene)-flavanone reacted with six 5-substituted-2-aminobenzenethiols, the substituents being fluoro, chloro, bromo, methyl, methoxyl, and ethoxyl, to give respective 12 new compounds, 10-substituted-7-(2-chlorophenyl/2,4-dichlorophenyl)- 6H-6a,7-dihydro-6-phenyl[1]benzopyrano[3,4?c][1,5]benzothiazepines (5a–l) in 60–70% yields. The products were characterized on the basis of microanalytical data for elements and IR, ¹ H, and ¹³ C NMR and mass spectral studies. All the synthesized compounds were evaluated for their antimicrobial activity against the bacteria,Escherichia coli and GFC,and the fungi,Aspergillus niger, Aspergillus flavus,and Curvularia lunata.     

THE REACTION OF O-SILYLATED α-KETOLS WITH TRIMETHYLSILYL CYANIDE

Abstract

The reactions of a series of O-silylated α-ketols with trimethylsilyl cyanide have been investigated. Formation of the expected 0-trimethylsilyl cyanohydrins as major products has been shown to be accompanied by the hitherto unsuspected formation of a disiloxane by a proposed intramolecular S_N2 displacement mechanism. The latter reaction is, surprisingly, independent of the substitution pattern in the silylated ketol. Formation of the side-product, however, increases in all cases with increasing dilution. The α,β-epoxynitrile 9, a second side-product expected, along with the observed disiloxane, by our proposed mechanism was synthesized by an unambiguous route. A control experiment showed the epoxynitrile to be completely destroyed under the usual conditions of reaction with trimethylsilyl cyanide. ¹³C NMR data have been obtained for most of the compounds in this study.     

Synthetic Utilization of α-Phosphonovinyl Anions

The α-phosphonovinyl anions, generated in situ from treatment of β-hetero-substituted vinyl-phosphonates 1a-c with LDA (or LTMP), were trapped with various electrophiles such as chlorotriorganosilanes, chlorotrimethylgermane, chlorotriorganotins, dimethyl disulfide, and halogen to afford the corresponding β-hetero-substituted α-functionalized vinylphosphonates 2–14 in good to excellent yields. The Friedel-Crafts reaction of α-(silyl) or α-(germyl)phosphonoketene dithioacetals 2, 9 or 4 with acid chlorides gave α-acylated phosphonoketene dithioacetals 15–19 in 53–91 % yields. The palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction of β-ethoxy-α-(tributylstannyl)vinylphosphonate 13 with a variety of organic halides (R = acyl, allyl, aryl etc.) provided β-ethoxy-α-substituted vinylphosphonates 20–25 in good to moderate yields. The palladium-mediated cross-coupling reaction of α-(iodo)-vinyl-phosphonates 7, 14 with terminal acetylenes afforded α-alkynylated vinylphosphonates 26–29 in 69–83 % yields.     

ON THE PHOSPHORUS-31 CHEMICAL SHIFTS OF SUBSTITUTED TRIARYLPHOSPHINES

Abstract

The ³¹P chemical shifts of eleven (4-ZC₆H₄)₃P compounds show a slight correlation with the Hammet [sgrave]para constant of Z. The unusually large upfield chemical shifts of (2-ZC₆H₄)₃P compounds are attributed to an extreme “gamma” effect caused by the restricted conformations due to the steric influence of the ortho substituents. Chemical shifts are given for about thirty triarylphosphines, and group contributions to phosphine chemical shifts are listed for twenty-one aryl groups.     

A Facile Route to Substituted Dimethoxy Phosphonothionates Using Dimethyl Thiophosphite

Dimethyl thiophosphite reacts with aliphatic aldehydes and ketones, Michael acceptors, and N-benzyl imines to afford excellent yields of f -hydroxy phosphonothionates, g -substituted phosphonothionates and f -amino phosphonothionates, respectively. Dealkylation of f -amino phosphonothionates affords N-benzyl f -amino phosphonothioic acids. Dimethyl thiophosphite reacts with electrophiles at a significantly greater rate than dimethyl phosphite.
