C- and N-Amidotrichloroethylation of Azoles

1H-Pyrazoles, triazoles, and imidazoles in reaction with ethoxycarbonylimine and arylsulfonylimines of chloral yield addition products, corresponding 1-(1-amidotrichloroethyl)azoles. Derivatives of 1-alkylpyrazoles and pyrazolones react with chloral 4-chlorophenylsulfonylimine to furnish products of C-amidotrichloroethylation into position 4 of the azole ring.     

Solvatochromism of Heteroaromatic Compounds: XXVI. Solvent Effect on the Solvatochromic Parameters of IR Bands of <Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-Methylanilines and Related Hydrogen Bond Donors

Formation of a hydrogen bond between molecules of a proton donor (phenol, pyrrole, N-methylanilines) and a solvent decreases the sensitivity of the XH stretching frequency to the polarity/polarizability of solvents. A change in the bond configuration in the amine moiety of N-methylaniline and related compounds upon formation of a solvation H complex is manifested in that the absolute terms of the solvatochromic equations for inert and protophilic media are different. The spectroscopic effect from the geometric reorganization of molecules is determined by their structure and the capability to act as hydrogen bond donors. Multicentered hydrogen bond with π bases affects the geometry of the amine fragment of N-substituted anilines to a lesser extent than does two-centered H bond with onium bases.__________Translated from Zhurnal Obshchei Khimii, Vol. 75, No. 4, 2005, pp. 642–649.Original Russian Text Copyright © 2005 by Vokin, Oznobikhina, Shulunova, Ustinov, Bozhenkov, Levkovskaya, Turchaninov.For communication XXV, see [1].     

Synthesis of α,ω-bis(pyrazol-3-yl)alkanes: I. 1,4-bis(1-methyl- and 1-benzyl-5-chloro-1<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>-pyrazol-3-yl)-butanes from 1,1,10,10-Tetrachlorodeca-1,9-diene-3,8-dione and 1,1-dimethyl- or benzylhydrazine

First representatives of bis-2-chloro- and 2,2-dichlorovinyl ketones, 1,10-dichlorodeca-1,9-diene-3,8-dione and 1,1,10,10-tetrachlorodeca-1,9-diene-3,8-dione, were synthesized by reaction of hexanedioyl dichloride with acetylene and 1,1-dichloroethene, respectively, in the presence of AlCl₃. 1,1,10,10-Tetrachlorodeca-1,9-diene-3,8-dione reacted with benzylhydrazine and 1,1-dimethylhydrazine to give 1,4-bis(1-benzyl-5-chloro-1H-pyrazol-3-yl)butane and 1,4-bis(5-chloro-1-methyl-1H-pyrazol-3-yl)butane, respectively.     

Unusual reaction of chloroacetyl chloride with 1,2-dichloroethene. Synthesis and properties of 2-chlorovinyl dichloromethyl ketone

The reaction of chloroacetyl chloride with 1,2-dichloroethene in the presence of AlCl₃ unexpectedly led to the formation of (E)-1,1,4-trichlorobut-3-en-2-one whose structure was proved by ¹H and ¹³C NMR, IR, and mass spectra and independent synthesis. A probable reaction scheme was proposed, which involves transformation of initially formed 1,2,4-trichloro-3-oxobutan-2-yl cation by the action of AlCl₃. The high reactivity of the vinylic halogen atom in (E)-1,1,4-trichlorobut-3-en-2-one was demonstrated by its reactions with nitrogen-centered nucleophiles (triethylamine, aniline, 3,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrazole) and sodium sulfide. These reactions involved only the C-Cl bond in the vinyl fragment and afforded (4,4-dichloro-3-oxobut-2-en-1-yl)triethylammonium chloride, 1,1-dichloro-4-phenylaminobut-3-en-2-one, 1-(4,4-dichloro-3-oxobut-2-en-1-yl)-3,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrazole, and 4,4′-thiobis(1,1-dichlorobut-3-en-2-one), respectively. The reaction of 1,1,4-trichlorobut-3-en-2-one with benzylhydrazine gave a mixture of 1,3- and 1,5-disubstituted pyrazoles.     

Radical copolymerization of 1,2-dichlorovinyl propyl ketone and styrene

The possibility of synthesis of soluble copolymers by radical copolymerization of 1,2-dichlorovinyl propyl ketone with styrene in the presence of azobis(isobutyronitrile) was studied. The polymerization constants were determined and the probabilities of formation of various sequences of comonomer units were evaluated. The structure of the copolymers was studied by IR and ¹³C NMR spectroscopy, and some characteristics of the copolymers were determined.     

Chloro(bromo)vinyl ketones and 2,2-Dichloroacrolein in Reactions with Hydrazines

Reactions of 2,2-dichlorovinyl and 2,2-dibromovinyl ketones with alkylhydrazines afford respectively 1-R-3-alkyl(aryl)-5-chloro- or 5-bromopyrazoles in preparative yields. The dichloroacrolein forms with alkylhydrazines and dimethylhydrazine only the corresponding hydrazones. Quantum-chemical calculations were performed characterizing the structure of the obtained ketones and dichloroacrolein alkylhydrazones, of dichloroacrolein dimethylhydrazone, of 1-alkyl-5-chloropyrazolinium halides, and 1-alkyl-5-chloropyrazoles.     

Synthesis and properties of 5-chloro-4-nitropyrazoles

The nitration of 5-chloropyrazoles with a mixture of 100% nitric acid and 65% oleum or a mixture of 60% nitric acid and polyphosphoric acid gave substituted 5-chloro-4-nitropyrazoles in 45–91% yield. The nitration of 3-aryl-5-halopyrazoles was accompanied by introduction of a nitro group into the aromatic ring. 4-Chloropyrazoles failed to undergo nitration under these conditions. The reaction of 5-chloro-1,3-dimethyl-4-nitropyrazole with ethyl cyanoacetate in DMSO in the presence of K₂CO₃ led to the formation of ethyl 2-cyano-2-(1,3-dimethyl-4-nitro-1H-pyrazol-5-yl)acetate.     

Structure and Properties of 2,2-Dibromovinyl Trifluoromethyl Ketone

It was established by IR spectroscopy and quantum-chemical calculations along nonempirical DFT method in B3LYP version with the basis set 6-311 G(d,p) that 2,2-dibromovinyl trifluoromethyl ketone consisted of a mixture of s-cis planar conformer and s-trans-form deviating from a plane by 13°, whereas the s-cis-form is more energetically stable than the s-trans one (E -5.07 kcal mol^{- 1}). Also in 2,2-dibromovinyl methyl ketone the planar s-cis conformer is more stable. Chlorine-containing analogs, 2,2-dichlorovinyl trifluoromethyl ketone and 2,2-dichlorovinyl methyl ketone, are more stable in the planar s-trans-conformation. Charge distribution and polarization in the dibromovinyl ketones are analogous to those in dichlorovinyl ketones in agreement with the established reactivity of dibromovinyl trifluoromethyl ketone. By reaction of 2,2-dibromovinyl trifluoromethyl ketone with 2,4-dinitrophenyl-, alkylhydrazines, N,N-dimethylhydrazine, N,N-, N,O-, N,S-binucleophiles were respectively obtained hydrazone, derivatives of pyrazole, imidazole, oxazole, and 1,3-thiazine containing a trifluoromethyl group.     

Synthesis,structure, and characteristics of 1,2-dichlorovinyl alkyl ketones

A method of alkyl 1,2-dichlorovinyl ketones preparation from acyl halides and 1,2-dichloroethylene was developed. The configurational equilibrium and electronic structure of alkyl 1,2-dichlorovinyl ketones was investigated by IR, ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectroscopy, by measuring dipole moments, and by quantum-chemical calculations using methods RHF and B3LYP in the basis 6–311++G (d,p). Alkyl 1,2-dichlorovinyl ketones are stable in the Z, s-cis-configuration where the olefin proton is involved into an intramolecular hydrogen bond with the oxygen of the carbonyl group. Reaction of 1,2-dichlorovinyl ketones with alkylhydrazines afforded 1-alkyl-3-alkyl-4-chloropyrazoles. The reaction of alkyl 1,2-dichlorovinyl ketones with 1,1-dimethylhydrazine involved dehydrochlorination and afforded 1,1-dimethylhydrazinium hydrochloride and a mixture of compounds with uncertain structure.Translated from Zhurnal Organicheskoi Khimii, Vol. 40, No. 11, 2004, pp. 1632–1640.Original Russian Text Copyright © 2004 by Bozhenkov, Leckovskaya, Larina, Ushakov, Dolgushin, Mirskova.
