Base induced cyclization of some quinolines. Formation of fused nitrogen heterocyclic ring system

Condensation of 3,5-dinitro-4-chloro-6-methoxy-2-methylquinoline (1) with benzylamine, ethanolamine and/or thioglycolic acid afforded the quinoline derivatives4 a-c. Cyclization of4 a and4 b with alkali and condensation of1 with glycine in sodium carbonate solution furnish 2H-imidazo[4,5-c]quinoline derivatives5 a-c, respectively. Treatment of5 b with benzaldehyde in presence of zinc chloride gave the styryl derivative6. 1 reacted with sodium azide to give the azido derivative4 d, which upon treatment with phenylhydrazine or sodium borohydride yielded the 4-amino derivative4 3. Moreover,1 was treated with phenylhydrazine to give4 f, which cyclized in 10% sodium hydroxide solution to the corresponding v-triazolo[4,5-c]quinoline 3-oxide derivative7. When however4 f was treated with dilute hydrochloric acid, the corresponding phenylpyrazolo[3,4,5-de]quinoline derivative8 was obtained.

Synthesis of 6,7-disubstituted-5H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyrazines via palladium-catalyzed heteroannulation

A concise and efficient method for the preparation of 6,7-disubstituted-5H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyrazines via a palladium-catalyzed heteroannulation is reported. Both conventional and microwave heating were used to perform the reactions, with the latter showing dramatically improved results.     

Captodative olefins: methyl 2-aryloxy-3-dimethyl-aminopropenoates and their application in a new synthesis of benzofurans

The β-substituted captodative olefins methyl 2-aryloxy-3-dimethylaminopropenoates 4a-h were synthesized, via aminomethylenation of the corresponding 2-phenoxyacetic esters 9a-h. Lewis acid promoted intramolecular cyclization of alkenes 4 led to benzofurans 7a-h, in an efficient synthetic approach to the benzofuran frame.     

Neighbouring group participation in formation of condensed azines. Formation of pyrazolo(3,4-b)pyrazines,isoxazolo(4,5-b)pyrazines and isothiazolo(5,4-b)pyridine

Pyrazine- and pyridinecarboxamidoximes with an amino, potentially tautomeric hydroxy or mercapto group inortho position could be transformed in the appropriate condensed azines. In this manner, representatives of pyrazolo(3,4-b)pyrazine, isoxazolo(4,5-b)pyrazine and isothiazolo(5,4-b)pyridine ring system were synthesized and some transformations investigated.Presented in part at the 8th International Congress of Heterocyclic Chemistry, Graz, 1981.     

Rhodium-catalyzed arylative cyclization of alkynones induced by addition of arylboronic acids

Alkynones react with arylboronic acids in the presence of a rhodium(I) catalyst to afford four- and five-membered-ring cyclic alcohols equipped with a tetrasubstituted exocyclic olefin. The cyclic allylic alcohol skeleton is constructed by the carbon-carbon bond formation between the carbonyl group and an alkenylrhodium(I) intermediate formed by the regioselective addition of an arylrhodium(I) species across the carbon-carbon triple bond.     

6-Substituted-5H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyrazines via palladium-catalyzed heteroannulation from N-(3-chloropyrazin-2-yl)-methanesulfonamide and alkynes

We herein report the efficient and convenient synthesis of 6-substituted-5H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyrazines. The reaction is a palladium-catalyzed heteroannulation process followed by deprotection to yield the desired pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyrazine substrates. The reaction starts with readily accessible N-(3-chloropyrazin-2-yl)-methanesulfonamide and commercially available terminal alkynes and works with aryl- and alkylalkynes.     

On the Synthesis of 2-Acetyl-4-aryl-6H-1,3,4-thiadiazin-5-ones by Reaction of Nitrilimines with α-Mercapto Alkanoic Acids

Summary.  N′-Arylacetonitrilimines were generated from acetohydrazonyl chlorides and reacted with mercaptoalkanoic acids forming 4-aryl-5-oxo-3-thiahexanoic acids. These were cyclized by reaction with dicyclohexyl carbodiimide yielding 2-acetyl-4-aryl-6H-1,3,4-thiadiazin-5-ones. Received November 13, 2001. Accepted January 9, 2002     

β-Bromodifluoromethyl β-enaminoketones: versatile synthetic intermediates for synthesis of CF2-containing compounds

A series of N-aryl β-bromodifluoromethyl β-enaminoketones were regioselectively synthesized in good yield by the reaction of N-aryl bromodifluoroacetimidoyl chlorides with methyl ketones. β-Bromodifluoromethyl β-enaminoketones smoothly cyclized to give a novel class of cyclic (2,2-difluoro-5-phenyl-furan-3-ylidene)-aryl-amines under basic condition. An intramolecular halophilic substitution mechanism was proposed.     

Base catalyzed cyclization of N-aryl and N-alkyl-O-propargyl carbamates to 4-alkylidene-2-oxazolidinones

The base catalyzed cyclization of N-aryl and N-alkyl-O-propargyl carbamates is studied in detail. The effect of various bases and solvents on the efficacy of this cyclization reaction is analyzed and a new base-solvent system (LiOH in DMF) for effective cyclization of these carbamates is reported. A number of differentially substituted O-propargyl carbamates were cyclized to the corresponding 2-oxazolidinones under these conditions. The reaction conditions reported here are mild and no side reactions were observed in any of the substrates studied. A propargyl carbonate group was unaffected during the course of the cyclization of the O-propargyl carbamate group. The propargyl carbamates were prepared from the corresponding alkyl or aryl amines and the corresponding propargyl chloroformate, resulting in oxazolidinones diversely substituted at the nitrogen atom. N-Aryl-O-propargyl carbamates cyclized readily to the corresponding oxazolidinones with LiOH in DMF, whereas N-alkyl-O-propargyl carbamates reacted slowly under the same conditions. O-Propargyl carbamates substituted at the 1-position tend to cyclize faster whereas those substituted at 3-position cyclize considerably slower than the unsubstituted carbamates.
