Investigations of Imidazoles. 101. Synthesis of 2,3-Dihydroimidazo[1,2-a]pyrimidine from 2-Aminopyrimidine

Two novel preparative methods have been developed for the synthesis of 2,3-dihydroimidazo[1,2-a]pyrimidine from 2-aminopyrimidine. These are the reaction with 1,2-dibromoethane and also the reaction with ethylene chloro(bromo)hydrin, subsequent treatment of 1--hydroxyethyl-2-imino-1,2-dihydropyrimidine with thionyl chloride, and cyclization of the intermediate 1--chloroethyl-2-imino-1,2-dihydropyrimidine in the presence of sodium hydroxide.     

Diastereoselective synthesis of the 19-epi-C18-C25 segment of (−)-lasonolide A and an unusual inversion at C19

Diastereoselective construction of the 19-epi-C₁₈-C₂₅ segment of (−)-lasonolide A was achieved using a 5-exo-trigonal mode of radical cyclization for the creation of the contiguous quaternary and tertiary stereogenic centers at C₂₂ and C₂₃ as the key reaction step. During the dehydration stage, it was found that an unusual inversion of configuration took place.     

Reaction of 3-Acetyl-4,6,6-trimethyl-5,6-dihydro-2-pyrone with Carboxylic Acid Hydrazides

The reaction of 3-acetyl-4,6,6-trimethyl-5,6-dihydro-2-pyrone with the hydrazides of a series of carboxylic acids led to the synthesis of 5-alkyl(cyanomethyl)carbonyl-3,5a,7,7-tetramethylpyrazolino-4,5-c]tetrahydro-2-pyrones, which are the products from cyclization of the intermediately formed alkyl(cyanomethyl)hydrazones of 3-acetyl-4,6,6-trimethyl-5,6-dihydro-2-pyran. __________ Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 7, pp. 998–1001, July, 2005.     

Synthesis and characteristics of the mass spectra of 2,5-dimercapto-2,5-dimethyltetrahydrothiophene

2,5-Dimercapto-2,5-dimethyltetrahyrothiophene was synthesized by the reaction of 1-iodopropan-2-one with hydrogen sulfide in an ether solution of hydrogen chloride at-70°C. Its structure was established by mass spectrometry, ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectroscopy. __________ Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 2, 216–219, February, 2007.     

Synthesis of novel silylated 1,2,4-triazin-5-ones

The reaction of various α-silyl-α-keto esters with thiosemicarbazide at 50 °C in ethyl acetate was found to give α-silyl-substituted thiosemicarbazone-acetic acid esters in good yield. These may then be converted to their corresponding silyl-substituted 1,2,4-triazin-5-ones by cyclization under basic conditions.

2-取代-4(5)-烷氧基咪唑的合成

我们曾报道了N-氰甲基苯甲亚氨酸乙酯(1a)的烷基化反应、Micheal加成和与芳醛的缩合反应。本文报道碱催化下N-氰甲基亚氨酸乙酯在醇中的成环反应结果。在固-液相转移催化条件下,N-氰甲基苯甲亚氨酸乙酯(1 a)与丙烯酸甲酯反应,生成Micheal加成产物。当用乙醇钠作碱、乙醇作溶剂时,1a与丙烯酸甲酯反应没有生成Micheal     

Synthesis of New Difurocoumarins

5,7-Dihydroxy-4-methyl- and 5,7-dihydroxy-4-trifluoromethylcoumarins are starting compounds in the synthesis of new 10-methyl-8H-difuro[2,3-f;2,3-h]-8-ones and 10-trifluoromethyl-8H-difuro-[2,3-f;2,3-h]chromen-8-ones with high yields.     

Synthesis of novel 5,6-substituted furo[2,3-d]pyrimidines via Pd-catalyzed cyclization of alkynylpyrimidinols with aryl iodides

A flexible method for the synthesis of 5,6-disubstituted furo[2,3-d]pyrimidine derivatives is described. The key step is a palladium-catalyzed arylative cyclization of alkynylpyrimidinols with various aryl iodides, which gave the title compounds in 36-75% yield.
