Quinoxalines. IX. Reaction of 2-(Halogenomethyl)-quinoxalines and -quinoline with hydroxybenzoic acids and their esters

In the presence of a base the title compounds react to products with ether structure ( 4, 6 ), or with ester structure ( 3 ), or to structure 5 containing both functionalities in dependence on the mole ratio of the starting substances, on reaction conditions and on the substituent patterns in the hydroxybenzoic acid component. Under the influence of alkali hydroxide the m- and p-substituted compounds ( 6e–g ) are saponified to the alkali salts of the carboxylic acid ( 4b, c ). The o-substituted compounds ( 6a–d ), however, are cyclized to the benzo[b]furanylquinoxalines ( 8 ). 8a, d are also obtained by thermal water elimination of the carboxylic acids 4a, d . The red-coloured benzofuranols 8 react with acetic anhydride and benzoyl-chloride/pyridine, resp., to the weakly yellow esters 9 . The stucture of the products 8 and 9 is studied by UVVIS derivative spectroscopy, by theoretical calculation of the dihedral angles and by ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectroscopy. The ¹H and ¹³C chemical shifts are completely assigned. The quinoxalines 8a–c and the quinoline 8d only exist in the hydroxy form.     

Electrogenerated base-promoted synthesis and antimicrobial activity of 2-(1,3-dithian-2-ylidene)-2-arylacetonitrile and 2-(1,3-dithiolan-2-ylidene)-2-arylacetonitrile

The new preparation of 2-(1,3-dithian-2-ylidene)-2-arylacetonitrile and 2-(1,3-dithiol-2-ylidene)-2-arylacetonitrile is described. The electrogenerated cyanomethyl base/anion obtained from the electroreduction of acetonitrile promotes reactions between arylacetonitrile, carbon disulfide and 1-bromo-3-chloropropane or 1,2-dibromoethane. Obtained products have been identified according to their spectroscopic data (IR and ¹H NMR and ¹³C NMR) and elemental analysis. The possible antibacterial activities of some of these compounds were investigated. Promising results were found against few types of bacteria.     

Synthesis,structural and spectroscopic studies of 1-(2-FUROYL)-3-phenylthiourea: a theoretical and experimental approach

The thiourea derivative 1-(2-Furoyl)-3-phenylthiourea (FPT) was synthesized and characterized by using spectroscopic (IR, Raman, UV–VIS, ¹H and ¹³C NMR) and structural methods (powder X-ray diffraction data). The experimental measurements were complemented with quantum chemical calculations. FPT crystallizes in the monoclinic crystal system, space group P21/c, with cell parameters a?=?4.7679(5) Å, b?=?20.9704(2) Å, c?=?12.5109(5) Å and β?=?109.811(10)°, V?=?1176.87(3) ų. In the crystal structure, the thiourea group makes dihedral angle of 43.8(5)° with the furoyl group, whereas the benzene ring is inclined by 24.3(4)°. The anti-syn geometry of the thiourea unit is stabilized by intramolecular N–H^?…?O hydrogen bond between the H atom of the syn thioamide and the carbonyl O atom. In the crystal structure, molecules of FPT are packed through N–H···S, C–H···O and C–H···C hydrogen bonds, and a π–π interaction with offset arrangement. Hirshfeld surface analysis was performed in order to evaluate and quantify intermolecular interactions. The Hirshfeld surface analysis indicated that the H···H interactions comprise the majority of interactions. Shape index and curvedness clearly indicate π–π interactions in the compound FPT.     

Synthesis and characterization of diethyl-dithiocarbamic acid 2-[4-(2-diethylthiocarbamoylsulfanyl-2-phenyl-acetyl)-2,5-dioxo-piperazin-1-yl]-2-oxo-1-phenyl-ethyl ester as new reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer agent for polymerization of ethyl methacrylate

Diethyl-dithiocarbamic acid 2-[4-(2-diethylthiocarbamoylsulfanyl-2-phenyl-acetyl)-2,5-dioxo-piperazin-1-yl]-2-oxo-1-phenyl-ethyl ester as a novel di-functional reversible addition–fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) agent was synthesized based on 2,5-diketopiperazine. The RAFT agent was designed based on the propagating core (R group) approach and characterized by ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, FT-IR, elemental analysis, and melting point technique. Then, ethyl methacrylate was synthesized via free radical and RAFT polymerizations. To investigate the effect of the RAFT agent on the kinetic of polymerization, molecular weight, and polydispersity index (PDI) of polymers and also monomer conversion were monitored. Also, synthesized polymers were characterized by ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, FT-IR, and TGA. Characterization analyses of synthesized RAFT agent were consistent with the structure. NMR and FTIR analyses confirmed end group incorporation of RAFT agent into polymer structure. According to results, poly(ethyl methacrylate) with low PDI (1.14) was obtained. Kinetic study indicated well-controlled polymerization of ethyl methacrylate by synthesized RAFT agent. TGA results showed that RAFT agent could reduce termination reactions and so reduce head-to-head bonds and chain-end unsaturation by keeping the concentration of radicals low enough.     

Synthesis and Characterization of Some Triphenyltin(IV) Complexes from Sterically Crowded [((E)-1-{2-Hydroxy-5-[(E)-2-(aryl)-1-diazenyl]phenyl}methylidene)amino]acetate Ligands and Crystal Structure Analysis of a Tetrameric Triphenyltin(IV) Compound

Four new triphenyltin(IV) complexes containing [((E)-1-{2-hydroxy-5-[(E)-2-(aryl)-1-diazenyl]phenyl}methylidene)amino]acetate ligands (L) have been synthesized with formulations of Ph₃SnLH. They have been studied by multinuclear (¹H, ¹³C, ¹¹⁹Sn) NMR, ¹¹⁹Sn M?ssbauer and IR spectroscopy. A full characterization of one complex, Ph₃SnL¹H (1), was accomplished by single crystal X-ray crystallography, which revealed the compound to be a macrocyclic tetramer. In the tetramer, the five coordinate tin atoms have distorted trigonal bipyramidal geometries with the three phenyl groups occupying equatorial positions, while an oxygen atom of the carboxylate group of one L ligand and the oxide O-atom (formerly the hydroxy group) of a second L ligand in an apical positions. The carboxylate ligands bridge adjacent tin atoms and coordinate in the zwitterionic form with the phenolic proton moved to the nearby nitrogen atom. ¹¹⁹Sn NMR results indicate that the tetrameric structures of the complexes in the solid state, in which the tin atoms are five-coordinated, dissociate in solution to yield four coordinate monomeric species.     

Synthesis and antimicrobial evaluation of some pyrazolo-thiazolyl alkoxy-1H-isoindole-1, 3(2H)-dione derivatives

1,3-Thiazolidine-2,4-dione 2 has been synthesized by the cyclisation reaction of thiourea and chloroacetic acid in the presence of ethanol. The reaction of compound 2 with substituted aromatic aldehyde afforded the corresponding derivatives of substituted 5-benzylidene-1,3-thiazolidinone-2,4-dione 3a–d, which upon reflux with ω-bromoalkoxyphthalimide gave 2-{[-5-(substituted benzylidine)-2,4-dioxo-1,3-thiazolidine-3-yl]alkoxy} -1H-isoindole-1,3(2H)-dione 4a–i. Further, compounds 4a–i were treated with phenyl hydrazine and 2,4 dinitro phenyl hydrazine in the DMF to yield the title compound 2-[5-oxo-2,3-substituted diphenyl-2H-pyrazolo[3,4-d][1,3]thiazol-6(5H)-yl)alkoxy]-1H-isoindole-1,3(2H)-dione 5a–r. Structures of newly synthesized compounds were established based on elemental analysis, IR, ¹H NMR and mass spectral data. Synthesized compounds have been assayed for their antibacterial activities against B. subtilis, K. pneumoniae, P. aeruginosa and S. aureus and antifungal activities against A. fumigatus and C. albicans.     

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 .     

Synthesis, Spectroscopic Characterization and Structures of Tributyltin(IV) 4-[((E)-1-{2-hydroxy-5-[(E)-2-(aryl)-1-diazenyl]phenyl}methylidene)amino]benzoates. Toxicity Studies on the Second Larval Instar of the Anopheles stephensi Mosquito Larvae

A series of tributyltin(IV) complexes of 4-[((E)-1-{2-hydroxy-5-[(E)-2-(aryl)-1-diazenyl]phenyl}methylidene)amino]benzoates have been investigated by ¹H, ¹³C, ¹¹⁹Sn NMR, IR and ¹¹⁹Sn M?ssbauer spectroscopic techniques in combination with elemental analyses. Single crystal X-ray crystallography of Bu₃Sn[O₂CC₆H₄{N=C(H)C₆H₃-2-OH(N=NC₆H₄CH₃-4)}-p] reveals a distorted tetrahedral structure which is further supported by ¹¹⁹Sn M?ssbauer data. Toxicity studies of the tributyltin(IV) complexes along with their ligands 4-[((E)-1-{2-hydroxy-5-[(E)-2-(aryl)-1-diazenyl]phenyl}methylidene)amino]benzoic acids on the second larval instar of the Anopheles stephensi mosquito larvae are also reported.     

(S)-2-(Ethyl propionate)-(O-ethyl xanthate) and (S)-2-(Ethyl isobutyrate)-(O-ethyl xanthate)-mediated RAFT polymerization of N-vinylpyrrolidone

(S)-2-(Ethyl propionate)-(O-ethyl xanthate) (X1) and the newly synthesized (S)-2-(ethyl isobutyrate)-(O-ethyl xanthate) (X2) were used as the reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) agents for the radical polymerization of N-vinylpyrrolidone (NVP). The former showed the better chain transfer ability in the polymerization at 60 °C. Kinetics study with X1 shows the psuedo-first order kinetics upto 45% monomer conversion. Molecular weight (M _n) of the resulted polymer increases linearly with increase in the monomer conversion upto around 45%. Polydispersity of the corresponding poly(NVP)s increase gradually from 1.2 to 1.9 with increase in the monomer conversion. Chain-end analysis of the resulted polymer by ¹H NMR shows clearly that polymerization started with radical forming out of xanthate mediator. Living nature of the polymerization was confirmed from the successful homo chain extension experiment and also the hetero-chain extension experiment involving synthesis of poly(NVP)-b-polystyrene amphiphilic diblock copolymer.

1,2,3-Triazabutadiene. IX. 15N-NMR-spektroskopische Untersuchungen an cis-trans-isomeren 1-Aryl-3-[3-methylbenzthiazolinyliden-(2)]-triazenen und -triazeniumsalzen

1,2,3-Triazabutadienes. IX. ¹⁵N-NMR-spectroscopic Investigations of Cis-Trans-Isomeric 1-Aryl-3-[3-methylbenzthiazolinyliden-(2)]-triazenes and -triazenium-salts The ¹⁵N-chemical-shifts and coupling constants of systematically ¹⁵N-labeled cis-trans-isomeric 1,2,3-triazabutadienes 1a–c and triazenium-salts were determined and discussed with respect to the steric and electronic structure of the compounds. The chemical shifts correlate with the π-electron density calculated in PPP-approximation. The similarity of the chemical shifts and coupling constants of the respective alkylated and protonated compounds proves the preferred protonation of the trans triazabutadien chain in N₁-position.     

In-chain functionalization by alternating anionic copolymerization of styrene and 1-(4-dimethylaminophenyl)-1-phenylethylene

Anionic copolymerizations of styrene (M₁) with excess 1-(4-dimethyl-aminophenyl)-1-phenylethylene (M₂) were conducted in benzene at 25°C for 24h, using sec-butyllithium as initiator. Narrow molecular weight distribution copolymers with M?;_n = 16.1 × 10³ g/mol (M?_w/M?_n = 1.04) and 38.2 × 10³g/mol (M?_w/M?_n = 1.05), and 24 and 38 moles of M₂ per macromolecule, respectively, were characterized by size exclusion chromatography, ¹H NMR spectroscopy and DSC. The monomer reactivity ratio, r₁ = 5.6, was obtained from the copolymer composition at complete consumption of M₁, assuming that the rate constant k₂₂ =0,i.e. r₂ =0. The polymers exhibited T_g values of 128 and 119°C, respectively, which correspond to an estimated T_g = 217°C for the hypothetical homopolymer of M₂.

Summary (Star po1ystyrene)-block-(linear polydimethy1siloxane)-block-(Star polystyrene) triblock copolymers were synthesized by making living Star-shaped polystyrenes through a convergent living anionic polymerization procedure, followed by ring-opening polymerization of hexamethylcyclotrisiloxane (D₃) then difunctional coupling. The molecular weights of the resulting polymers were characterized by gel permeation chromatography (GPC), multi angle laser light scattering (MALLS) and ¹H NMR spectroscopy. Triblock copolymers with relatively narrow molecular weight distributions were obtained. Received: 22 April 2002/ Revised version: 15 August 2002/ Accepted: 16 August 2002 Correspondence to Daniel M.

Synthesis,characterization and antibacterial activity of Pd(II), Pt(II) and Ag(I) complexes of 4-ethyl and 4-(p-tolyl)-1-(pyridin-2-yl)thiosemicarbazides

Pd(II), Pt(II) and Ag(I) ions were found to form stable complexes with 4-(p-tolyl)- or 4-ethyl-1-(pyridin-2-yl)thiosemicarbazides (Hp-TPTS or HEPTS). The complex structure was elucidated by analysis (elemental and thermal), spectroscopy (electronic, IR and ¹H NMR spectra) and physical measurements (magnetic susceptibility and molar conductance). The ligands coordinate to the metal ions as monobasic bidentate through nitrogen and sulfur atoms. The electronic spectra of the Pt(II) complexes in DMF showed a metal to ligand charge transfer transition at 11,935–13,260 cm^?1. The structural, electronic and vibrational features of HEPTS and Hp?TPTS were discussed on the basis of semi-empirical quantum mechanic calculations [ZINDO/S and semi-empirical parameterization (PM3)]. The simulated IR and electronic spectra are found reasonable in accordance with the experimental data. Finally, the antibacterial activities of the ligands and their complexes were investigated and some were found promising.     

UV induced reversible chain extension of 1-(2-anthryl)-1-phenylethylene functionalized polyisobutylene

The synthesis of novel 1-(2-anthryl)-1-phenylethylene (APE) di-telechelic polyisobutylenes is described. Utilization of a difunctional cationic initiator and the in situ addition of the non-homopolymerizable APE lead to the formation of di-anthryl telechelic polyisobutylenes. Products were characterized by ¹H NMR spectroscopy and Size Exclusion Chromatography. The polymers were UV irradiated at 365 and 254 nm and the reversible photocycloaddition of anthryl moieties was investigated. The chain extension of di-anthryl telechelic PIBs through photocoupling at 365 nm produced higher molecular weight products from low molecular weight precursors. The effect of precursor polymer concentration on the degree of chain extension was investigated, and intermolecular interactions leading to the formation of tetramers was observed. The photocoupled products were UV irradiated at 254 nm to induce the reversal of photocycloaddition of anthryl groups and to follow the consequent photoscission of polymers.     

Synthesis and hydrophilic property of polypropylene-graft-poly(polyethylene glycol-methacrylate) (PP-g-P(PEGMA))

Polypropylene-graft-poly(polyethylene glycol-methacrylate) (PP-g-P(PEGMA)), which is a hydrophobic-hydrophilic graft copolymer, was synthesized by a combination of an atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) of PEGMA with brominated polypropylene (PP-Br), which was synthesized from PP-OH prepared by metallocene-catalyzed copolymerization. Its structure was confirmed by ¹H NMR and GPC analyses. Transmission electron microscope (TEM) micrographs of PP-g-P(PEGMA) revealed the nanometer level microphase-separation morphology between the PP segment and the P(PEGMA) segment. The obtained PP-g-P(PEGMA) showed water-absorbing property as well as thermostability.

1,2,3-Triazabutadienes. XII. Dependence of the ¹³C- ¹⁵N Coupling Constants on the Z/E-Isomerism of the 1-Phenyl-3-[3-ethylbenzthiazolinyden-(2)]-triazenes and 1-Phenyl-1-ethyl-3-[3-ethylbenzthiazolinyliden-(2)]-triazenium-tetrafluoroborates ¹³C- and ¹⁵N spectra have been measured for the ¹⁵N-labelled triazene 1 and triazenium salt 2 . The ¹³C-¹⁵N coupling constants are discussed in the light of the Z/E-isomerism of the compounds. A significant nitrogen lone pair effect of the Z/E isomers on the magnitude of the coupling constant ¹J(¹⁵N₁ ¹³C₁·) was observed and discussed.     

(S)-2-(ethyl propionate)-(O-ethyl xanthate)- and (S)-2-(Ethyl isobutyrate)-(O-ethyl xanthate)-mediated RAFT polymerization of vinyl acetate

(S)-2-(Ethyl propionate)-(O-ethyl xanthate) (X1) and (S)-2-(Ethyl isobutyrate)-(O-ethyl xanthate) (X2) were used as the reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) agents for the radical polymerization of vinyl acetate (VAc). The former showed the better chain transfer ability in the polymerization at 60°C. Kinetic study with both RAFT agents showed pseudo-first order kinetics up to around 85% monomer conversion. Molecular weight of the resulting polymer increased linearly with increase in the monomer conversion up to around 85%. The observed molecular weights calculated from ¹H-NMR spectrum [M_n(NMR)] are close to the corresponding theoretical molecular weights [M_n(theor)]. The corresponding polydispersity index (PDI) of the resulting polymers remained almost constant at around 1.2 up to ∼ 65% monomer conversion and then increased gradually with the further increase in the monomer conversion. Chain-end analysis of the resulting polymers by ¹H-NMR showed clearly that polymerization started with the radical forming out of the xanthate mediator. The negligible homo-chain extension and the hetero-chain extension involving synthesis of poly(VAc)-b-poly(NVP) diblock copolymer were occurred. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Synthesis of fluorescence poly(N-vinylpyrrolidone) via click chemistry using azide-terminated xanthate mediator (S)-2-(4-azidobutyl propionate)-(O-ethyl xanthate)

Azide-terminated xanthate RAFT agent (S)-2-(4-azidobutyl propionate)-(O-ethyl xanthate) has been synthesized and used for the controlled radical polymerization of N-vinylpyrrolidone (NVP). Kinetics study showed the pesudo first-order kinetics along with gradual increase in molecular weight (M_n) of the resulted polymer up to 69% conversion. Chain-end analysis of the resulted polymer by ¹H NMR showed the presence of the fragments of xanthate mediator at both chain ends. Successful chain extension has also been performed via the click reaction of alkyne-terminated PNVP with azide-terminated PNVP. Moreover, fluorescence pyrene-tagged PNVP has successfully been made via the click reaction of alkyne-functionalized pyrene with azide-terminated PNVP.
