Reactions of monothiooxamides with O-methylhydroxylamine

The reactions of monothiooxamides with O-methylhydroxylamine were studied. Depending on the substituents in monothiooxamides, the reactions result in the formation of hydroxamic acid derivatives or various N-methoxy derivatives of amidoximes.

Hetaryl- and heteroarylvinyl-substituted nitrofurans identified as non-cytotoxic selective antitubercular agents

New (E)-5-[2-(5-nitrofuran-2-yl)vinyl]-1,2,4-oxadiazoles and 5-(5-nitrofuran-2-yl)-1,2,4-oxadiazoles were synthesized via the base-promoted condensation of nitrofuran-containing acyl chlorides with amidoximes. Testing these compounds against Gram-negative E. coli, Gram-positive B. subtilis and S. aureus as well as M. tuberculosis HRv37 strain revealed three compounds being selectively antimycobacterial. None of these compounds displayed any cytotoxicity towards human pancreatic epithelioid carcinoma cell line, PANC-1.     

Synthesis of 3-carbamoyl-1,2,4-oxadiazoles

A convenient method for the synthesis of 3-carbamoyl-1,2,4-oxadiazoles from carbamoylamidoximes and chlorides or anhydrides of haloacetic acids was developed. The reactions of 3-carbamoyl-5-trichloromethyl-1,2,4-oxadiazoles with amines and N,N-dimethylhydrazine were studied.

A new synthetic method for the preparation of¹⁵N-labeled nitriles from nonlabeled nitriles is proposed.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk. Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 3, pp. 444–446, March, 1994.     

Synthesis of novel [1-aziridinyl-(hydroxyimino)methyl]arenes and their cytotoxic activity

The synthesis has been developed for novel potential anticancer agents whose structures contain an aziridine amidoxime group. The cytotoxic activity of all of the target compounds on different cell lines are given together with the in vitro IC₅₀ and LD₅₀ values found. The most promising anticancer agents were found to be the methyl 4-[1-aziridinyl(hydroxyimino)methyl]benzoate, 1-aziridinyl(2-naphthyl)-methanone oxime, and 1-aziridinyl(2-quinolyl)methanone oxime.

Synthesis of 2-amino-5-(5R-1,2,4-oxadiazolyl-3)-1,3,4-oxadiazoles

The interaction of 2-amino-1,3,4-oxadiazole-5-carboxamidoxime with nitriles in the presence of ZnCl₂ and HCl or with trichloroacetic anhydride affords 2-amino-5-(5R-1,2,4-oxadiazolyl-3)-1,3,4-oxadiazoles. Their reactions with N-nucleophiles have been studied.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk. Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 12, pp. 2100–2103, December, 1993.     

15N NMR study of the mechanism of the reaction of amidoximes with nitrites in the presence of ZnCl2 and HCl

The structures of complexes formed during the transformation of amidoximes into 1,2,4-oxadiazoles by the action of nitriles in the presence of zinc chloride and HCl were studied by¹⁵N NMR spectroscopy.Translated fromIzyestiya Akademii Nauk.

A convenient synthesis of 3-substituted 5-guanidino-1,2,4-oxadiazoles

The reaction of amidoximes with cyanoguanidine in the presence of Lewis acids affords 3-substituted 5-guanidino-1,2,4-oxadiazoles. A study of the reaction of¹⁵N-labeled chloroacetamidoxime with cyanoguanidine showed that the formation of the oxadiazole ring occursvia the elimination of the amino group from the amidoxime fragment. 1,2,4-Oxadiazoles bearing the imidazole or pyrimidine moiety were synthesized.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Unusual Formation of 1,2,4-Oxadiazine Core in Reaction of Amidoximes with Maleic or Fumaric Esters

We have developed a simple and convenient method for the synthesis of 3-aryl- and 3-hetaryl-1,2,4-oxadiazin-5-ones bearing an easily functionalizable (methoxycarbonyl)methyl group at position 6 via the reaction of aryl or hetaryl amidoximes with maleates or fumarates. The conditions for this reaction were optimized. Different products can be synthesized selectively in good yields depending on the base used and the ratio of reactants: substituted (1,2,4-oxadiazin-6-yl)acetic acids, corresponding methyl esters, or hybrid 3-(aryl)-6-((3-(aryl)-1,2,4-oxadiazol-5-yl)methyl)-4H-1,2,4-oxadiazin-5(6H)-ones. The reaction is tolerant to substituents’ electronic and steric effects in amidoximes. As a result, a series of 2-(5-oxo-3-(p-tolyl)-5,6-dihydro-4H-1,2,4-oxadiazin-6-yl)acetic acids, their methyl esters, and 1,2,4-oxadiazoles based on them were prepared and characterized by HRMS, ¹H, and ¹³C NMR spectroscopy. The structures of three of them were elucidated with X-ray diffraction.
