A novel 2H-azirin-3-amine as a synthon for a sulfur-containing dipeptide segment

Starting with tetrahydro-2H-thiopyran-4-carboxylic acid and methyl prolinate, the novel 2H-azirin-3-amine [S]-N-(1-aza-6-thiaspiro[2.5]oct-1-en-2-yl)proline methyl ester was synthesized. In reactions with benzoic acid, thiobenzoic acid and Boc-valine, respectively, its usefulness as a synthon for the dipeptide [S]-N-[(4-aminotetrahydro-2H-thiopyran-4-yl)carbonyl]proline in peptide synthesis was demonstrated.     

Facile synthesis of some novel 4-{3-aryl-3, 4-dihydro-2H-benzo[b][1,4] thiazin-2-yl}-2H-chromen-2-one derivatives

A protocol for chemoselective one pot synthesis of 4-{3-aryl-3, 4-dihydro-2H-benzo[b][1,4]thiazin-2-yl}-2H-chromen-2-ones 4 and 4-{3-aryl-3, 4-dihydro-2H-benzo[b][1,4]thiazin-2-yl}-2H-chromen-2-ones 6 under refluxing conditions has been developed. Starting from 4-bromomethylcoumarin and Schiff base, which is derived from o-aminothiophenol and substituted aromatic aldehydes, the intermediate sulfide spontaneously underwent intramolecular carbanion addition across the azomethine carbon.     

Dehydration of 2-(2-Arylethyl)-2-hydroxy-4-oxopentanoic Acids and their hydrazones to form heterocycles

Dehydration of 2-(2-arylethyl)-2-hydroxy-4-oxopentanoic acids 1 with hydrochloric acid/acetic acid, affords 3-(2-arylethyl)-5-hydroxy-5-methyl-2(5H)-furanones 4 . Compounds of type 1 and 4 represent suitable precursors for the formation of pyridazin-3-ones 7 as they smoothly react with hydrazine. A new series of s-triazolo[4,3-b]pyridazin-3-ones 12 and tetrazolo[1,5-b]pyridazines 15 are obtained from the 3-chloropyridazines 11 upon treatment with semicarbazide and sodium azide, respectively. Reaction of 11 with phenyl- acetyl-hydrazine provides 3-benzyl-6-phenyl-8-(2-phenyl-ethyl)-s-triazolo[4,3-b]pyridazine 13 via dehydrative cyclization of the intermediate 14 which was clarified to exhibit tautomeric equilibria between enol–hydrazine form A and keto–hydrazine form B by means of ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectroscopy. Attempts to synthesize 3-alloxy-pyridazines 18 by reacting 11 with sodium alloxide afford N-allyl compounds 17 .     

An efficient synthesis of [1,3,4]thiadiazolo[2,3-c][1,2,4] triazin-4-ones

A three-component reaction between 4-amino-6-methyl-3-thioxo-3,4-dihydro-2H-[1,2,4]triazin-5-one, ammonium thiocyanate and aroyl chlorides in the presence of N-methylimidazole to afford the [1,3,4]thiadiazolo[2,3-c][1,2,4]triazin-4-ones in excellent yields is described.     

One pot solvent-free synthesis of 2H-pyrano, 2H-thiopyrano, 2H-selenopyrano[2,3-b]-1,8-naphthyridin-2-ones on solid phase catalyst under microwave irradiation

A simple and efficient procedure has been developed for the synthesis of the 2H-pyrano (3a–c), 2H-thiopyrano (5a–c), 2H-selenopyrano[2,3-b]-1,8-naphthyridin-2-ones (7a–c) by cyclisation of 2-chloro-3-formyl[1,8]naphthyridines (1a–c) with acetic anhydride under microwave irradiation using solid phase catalyst anhydrous sodium acetate. These new compounds were characterized by elemental analysis, IR, ¹H NMR and mass spectral studies.     

Electrogenerated N-heterocyclic carbene: N-acylation of chiral oxazolidin-2-ones in ionic liquids

An electrochemical procedure for the N-acylation of chiral oxazolidin-2-ones, in the absence of volatile molecular organic solvents, has been set up via electrolyses of ionic liquid [bmim]BF₄ containing oxazolidin-2-ones followed by addition of saturated or unsaturated anhydrides. N-acyloxazolidin-2-ones were isolated in good to elevated yields. The electrochemically induced N-acylation of chiral oxazolidin-2-ones occurs with total retention of the absolute configuration of all the chiral atoms. The electrogenerated carbene (1-butyl-3-methyl-1H-imidazol-2-ylidene) has been indicated as the base involved in the deprotonation of chiral oxazolidin-2-ones.     

A convenient one-pot synthesis of thiopyrano[4,3-b]pyran derivatives under LiOH·H2O/EtOH/ultrasonic conditions

Various derivatives of thiopyrano[4,3-b]pyran structure are synthesized via a multicomponent procedure starting from tetrahydro-4H-thiopyran-4-one, aromatic aldehydes, and malononitrile. Reactions take place by the use of catalytic quantities of LiOH·H₂O in one pot under ultrasonic conditions and in an ethanolic medium. Isolation of products occurs by spontaneous precipitation in reaction mixtures and no cumbersome and expensive chromatographic separations are needed.

New classes of 3N-substituted-2-[(3-methyl-1H-pyrazole-5-yl)-imino]-5,6-diphenyl-2H-1,3-thiazin-4(3H)-ones have been synthesized, via one pot reactions between pyrazolylthioureas, 2,3-diphenylcyclopropenone and 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano-1,4-benzoquinone. The structures of the products have been confirmed by different spectroscopic analyses. A rationale for the formation of the products is presented.     

EXTRACTION OF ALKALINE EARTH AND ACTINIDE CATIONS BY MIXTURES OF DI(2-ETHYLHEXYL) ALKYLENEDIPHOSPHONIC ACIDS AND NEUTRAL SYNERGISTS

ABSTRACT

The synergistic extraction of alkaline earth (Ca²⁺, Sr²⁺, Ba²⁺ and Ra²⁺) and actinide (Am³⁺, UO₂ ²⁺ and Th⁴⁺) cations from aqueous nitric acid solutions by mixtures of P,P^′-di(2-ethylhexyl) methylene-(H₂DEH[MDP]), ethylene-(H₂DEH[EDP]), and butylene-(H₂DEH[BuDP]) diphosphonic acids and neutral extractants in o-xylene has been investigated. The cis-syn-cis and cis-anti-cis stereoisomers of dicyclohexano-18-crown-6 (DCH18C6), the unsubstituted 21-crown-7 (21C7) and dicyclohexano-21-crown-7 (DCH21C7) were used as neutral synergists of the crown ether type. For Am(III) synergistic effects were also investigated using neutral organophosphorus esters, such as, tri-n-butylphosphate (TBP), diamyl amylphosphonate (DA[AP]) and tri-n-octylphosphine oxide (TOPO) as co-extractants. In all systems investigated, no synergistic extraction enhancement was observed for actinide ions. For the alkaline earth cations, synergistic effects were only observed when mixtures of H₂DEH[EDP] or H₂DEH-[BuDP] with DCH18C6 were used to extract Sr²⁺, Ba²⁺ and Ra²⁺. No synergistic effects were observed for the extraction of alkaline earth cations by H₂DEH[MDP] or for the extraction of Ca²⁺ by any of the diphosphonic acids studied. The synergistic effects obtained with DCH18C6 were significantly higher for the cis-syn-cis than for the cis-anti-cis stereoisomer.     

Design,synthesis, antibacterial and antifungal activity of novel spiro-isoxazolyl bis-[5,5′]thiazolidin-4-ones and spiro-isoxazolyl thiazolidin-4-one-[5,5′]-1,2-4 oxdiazolines

The synthesis of novel isoxazolyl 1,6-dithia-4,9-diazaspiro[4.4]nonane-3,8-diones (4a–h) and isoxazolyl 1-oxa-6-thia-2,4,9-triazaspiro[4.4]non-2-ene-8-ones (5a–h) analogs is described. Reaction of N-1-\{3-methyl-5-[(E)-2-aryl-1-ethenyl]-4-isoxazolyl}-2-chloroacetamide (2) with aryl isothiocyanates yielded 3,3-methyl-5-[(E)-2-aryl-1-ethenyl]-4-isoxazolyl-2-(arylimino)-1,3-thiazolan-4-ones (3). Cyclocondensation of 3 with mercaptoacetic acid furnished novel isoxazolyl-1,6-dithia-4,9-diazaspiro[4.4]nonane-3,8-diones (4a–h). Cycloaddition of 3 with benzonitrile oxides afforded novel isoxazolyl 1-oxa-6-thia-2,4,9-triazaspiro[4.4]non-2-ene-8-ones (5a–h). Compounds 4a–h and 5a–h showed significant biological activity against all the standard strains.     

Diastereo‐ and Enantioselective Synthesis of Chiral Pyrrolidine‐Fused Spirooxindoles via Organocatalytic [3+2] 1,3‐Dipolar Cycloaddition of Azomethine Ylides with Maleimides

In the presence of a Cinchona alkaloid‐based squaramide organocatalyst, the [3+2] cycloaddition of isatin‐derived azomethine ylides with maleimides proceeded readily, thus delivering the desired pyrrolidine‐fused spirooxindoles in 61–89% yields with >20:1 dr and 12 to >99 % ee. The absolute configuration of 5‐chloro‐1,5′‐dimethyl‐3′‐phenyl‐3′,3a′‐dihydro‐2′H‐spiro[indoline‐3,1′‐pyrrolo[3,4‐c]pyrrole]‐2,4′,6′(5′H,6a′H)‐trione was unambiguously determined by means of X‐ray single crystal structure analysis. The reaction mechanism was hypothesized to account for the enantioselective formation of 5‐chloro‐1,5′‐dimethyl‐3′‐phenyl‐3′,3a′‐dihydro‐2′H‐spiro[indoline‐3,1′‐pyrrolo[3,4‐c]pyrrole]‐2,4′,6′(5′H,6a′H)‐trione.

     

Reduction of n-C5H11N3 Catalyzed by [Mo2Fe6S8(OMe)3(SC6H4-p-n-C8H17)6]3– in an Aqueous Micellar Solution

Reduction of n-C₅H₁₁N₃ by Na₂S₂O₄ was performed in the presence of (n-Bu₄N)₃ [Mo₂Fe₆S₈(OMe)₃(SC₆H4-p-n-C₈H₁₇)₆] ((n-Bu₄N)₃ [Mo-Fe]) as a catalyst in aqueous Triton X-100 micellar solutions. The rate of the reduction is enhanced efficiently by the addition of methyl viologen (MV²⁺). The methyl viologen radical cation (MV⁺) produced by the reaction of MV²⁺ with Na₂S₂O₄ undergoes a disproportionation reaction to afford MV²⁺ and MV° in the micellar solution. The resultant MV° formed in the micelle transfers two electrons to [Mo-Fe]³⁻ effectively to give [Mo-Fe]⁵⁻, which reduces n-C₅H₁₁N₃ with two electrons to produce n-C₅H₁₁NH₂ and N₂.

These compounds showed significant antimicrobial activity against all the standard strains.

Nitration of ( 8 ) and ( 15 ) afforded the novel tetranitrodipyridotetraazapentalene derivatives, 2,4,8,10‐tetranitro‐5H‐pyrido[3″,4″:4′,5′][1,2,3]triazolo[1′,2′:1,2][1,2,3]‐triazolo[5,4‐b]‐pyridin‐6‐ium inner salt ( 3 ) and 2,4,8,10‐tetranitro‐5H‐pyrido[3″,2″:4′,5′][1,2,3]triazolo[1′,2′:1,2][1,2,3]‐triazolo[5,4‐b]‐pyridin‐6‐ium inner salt ( 4 ) in good yields. Both isomers, ( 3 ) and ( 4 ), exhibited high thermal stability (differential scanning calorimetric analysis and thermal gravimetric analysis) and were insensitive to impact (hammer/anvil test).     

Reactivity studies of 2,3,5,6-Tetra(2-pyridyl) pyrazine (tppz) with first-row transition metal ions

Reactions of 2,3,5,6-tetra(2-pyridyl) pyrazine (tppz) with [ML₆][X]₂ (L = CH₃CN, H₂O;X = [BF₄]⁻, [ClO₄]⁻, [NO₃]⁻ [BArF]⁻(BArF - B[3,5-C₆H₃(CF₃)₂]₄) lead to the high-yield formation of mononuclear [M(tppz)₂]²⁺, (M = Mn^II, Fe^II, Co^II, and Ni^II) and dinuclear [Ni₂(tppz)(CH₃CN)₆]⁴⁺ species. The new compounds were fully characterized by X-ray crystallographic, spectroscopic, and magnetic susceptibility measurements. Surprisingly, the 2:1 M:tppz reactions did not lead to isolation of the dinuclear species except in the case of Ni(II). It was further noted that even in the case of the Ni reactions, the nuclearity of the product depends on the choice of anions and the reaction conditions. Magnetic measurements of the mononuclear species [Co(tppz)₂]²⁺ revealed thermally induced spin-crossover behavior from a high-spin S = 3/2 at higher temperatures to a low-spin S = 1/2 complex at lower temperatures. The dinuclear compound [Ni₂(tppz)(CH₃CN)₆]⁴⁺ exhibits a weak anti-ferromagnetic interaction through the bridging tppz ligand.     

Pyryliumverbindungen. XXVII. Spezifisch deuterierte Carbo- und Heterocyclen via 2,4,6-Triaryl-[3,5-2H2]pyryliumsalze

Pyrylium Compounds. XXVIII. Specifically Deuterated Carbo- and heterocycles via 2,4,6-Triaryl[3,5-²H₂]pyrylium Salts On heating with catalytic amounts of bases(e.g. triethyl amine) in deuterated alcohols such as methan[²H]ol or ethan[²H]ol pseudobases of 2, 4, 6-triarylpyrylium salts 1 undergo fast¹H/²H isotopic exchange reaction affording 1, 3, 5-triaryl[2, 4, 4-²H₃]pent-2-ene-1,5-diones which with [²H] perchloric acid give highly deuterated 2, 4, 6-triaryl-[3, 5-²H] pyrylium perchlorates 8 . These salts are obtainable also directly from 1 through a one-pot procedure by ring opening of the latter with deuterium oxide under the above-mentioned¹H/²H isotopic exchange conditions followed by recyclization of the formed 1, 3, 5-triaryl[2, 4, 4-²H₃]pent-2-ene-1, 5-diones with [²H]ClO₄. Ring transformations of 2, 4, 6-triphenyl[3, 5-²H²]pyrylium perchlorate (8a) to 2, 4, 6-triphenyl[3, 5-²H₂]nitrobenzene (9) 2, 4, 6-triphenyl[3, 5-²H₂]pyridine (10) , 1, 2, 4, 6-tetraphenyl[3, 5-²H₂]pyrydinium perchlorate (11) , 2, 4, 6-triphencyl[3, 5-²H₂]thiopyrylium perchlorate (12) , 2-benzoyl-3, 5-diphenyl[4-²H]furan (13) , and 3, 5, 7-triphenyl-[4, 4, 6-²H₃]4H-1, 2-diazepin (14) demonstrate the usability of pyrylium salts of type 8 as starting materials for syntheses of specifically deuterated carbo- and hetrocycles.     

Efficient Asymmetric Synthesis of 2,6‐Disubstituted 2H‐Dihydropyrans via a Catalytic Hetero‐Diels–Alder/Allylboration Sequence

[4+2] Cycloaddition of (E)‐3‐borylacrolein 1 with ethyl vinyl ether, catalysed by chromium complex (1R,2S) or (1S,2R) 2 , led to the corresponding cycloadducts with high diastereo‐ and enantioselectivities. Further reaction with aldehydes offers an attractive asymmetric route to synthetically useful substituted 3,4‐dihydro‐2H‐pyrans.     

2-Arylamino-thiophen-3-carbonsäurederivate

2-Arylamino-thiophene-3-carboxylic Acid Derivatives The title compounds 3 are synthesized by reaction of 2-amino-thiophene-3-carboxylic acid derivatives 1 with anilines. The nucleophilic 5-position in 3 allowed the synthesis of 5-aryliden-Δ³-thiolen-2-one-imines 5 , 6 and the oxidative coupling to yield the azo compound 7 . 1-Aryl-thieno-[2,3-d]pyrimid-4-ones 9 , the thieno[2,3-b]chinolin-4-one 10 and the 4-chloro thieno[2,3-b]chinolines 10 , 11 can be obtained from 3 .     

Pyryliumverbindungen. 41. 7aH-Cyclopenta[b]pyran-7-one durch Ringtransformation von 2,4,6-Triaryl-pyryliumsalzen mit acyclischen 1,2-Diketonen

Pyrylium Compounds. 41. 7aH-Cyclopenta[b]pyran-7-ones by Ring Transformation of 2,4,6-Triarylpyrylium Salts with Acyclic 1,2-Diketones Reaction of 2,4,6-triarylpyrylium salts 1 with acyclic 1,2-diketones 2 (CH₃COCOR, R = Me, Ph) in the presence of an appropriate condensing agent (e.g. piperidine acetate, triethyl-amine/acetic acid, sodium acetate) yields the hitherto unknown 2,4,5,7a-substituted 7aH-cyclopenta[b]pyran-7-ones 3 as a result of a new type of ring transformation (2,5-[C₄O+C]/2,3-[C₂+C₃]). A characteristic feature of compounds 3 is their ability to undergo electrophilic substitutions. Thus, stepwise bromination of the 7a-methyl derivative 3a in acetic acid affords 6-bromo-7a-methyl-2,4,5-triphenyl-cyclopenta[b]pyran-7-one ( 4 ) and 3,6-dibromo-7a-methyl-2,4,5-triphenyl-cyclopenta[b]pyran-7-one ( 5 ); analogously, nitration of 3a leads to 7a-methyl-6-nitro-2,4,5-triphenyl-cyclopenta[b]pyran-7-one ( 6 ), indicating that position 6 is the favoured position for electrophilic substitutions. Contrary to the 3,5-unsubstituted pyrylium salts 1 , the 3,5-dimethyl-2,4,6-triphenyl-pyrylium perchlorate ( 13 ) reacts with 1,2-diketones 2 through a 2,6-[C₅+C] transformation to give arylsubstituted 1,2-diones 14 . The structure of the new compounds was determined by spectroscopic methods and by a single crystal X-ray analysis of the dibromo derivative 5 .
