Pinacol Rearrangement of 3,4‐Dihydro‐3,4‐dihydroxyquinolin‐2(1H)‐ones: An Alternative Pathway to Viridicatin Alkaloids and Their Analogs

3‐Alkyl/aryl‐3‐hydroxyquinoline‐2,4‐diones were reduced with NaBH₄ to give cis‐3‐alkyl/aryl‐3,4‐dihydro‐3,4‐dihydroxyquinolin‐2(1H)‐ones. These compounds were subjected to pinacol rearrangement by treatment with concentrated H₂SO₄, resulting in 4‐alkyl/aryl‐3‐hydroxyquinolin‐2(1H)‐ones. When a benzyl (Bn) group was present in position 3 of the starting compound, its elimination occurred during the rearrangement, and the corresponding 3‐hydroxyquinolin‐2(1H)‐one was formed. The reaction mechanisms are discussed for all transformations. All compounds were characterized by IR, ¹H‐ and ¹³C‐NMR spectroscopy, as well as mass spectrometry.     

Synthesis of Novel 2-(4-Oxo-3,4- Dihydroquinazolin-2-Ylsulfinylmethyl)-3H-Quinazolin-4-One

Abstract

Condensation of 2-mercapto-3H-quinazolin-4-one (1) with chloroacetic acid gave 4-oxo-3,4-dihydroquinazoline-2-yl-sulfanyl)-acetic acid (2) that with anthranilamide (3) gave 2-(4-oxo-3,4-dihydroquinazolin-2-ylsulfanylmethyl)-3H-quinazolin-4-one (4). Oxidation of 4 with sodium hypochlorite in alkaline medium gave the novel product, 2-(4-oxo-3,4- dihydroquinazolin-2-ylsulfinyl methyl)-3H -quinazolin-4-one) (5). The entire sequences of reactions in this work have been carried out using eco-friendly solvents and green conditions.

Expedient Synthesis of 6-Aryl Derivatives of 3,4-Dihydro-1,4,4a,6a-tetraaza-benzo[a]fluoren-2-one: A New Heterocyclic Framework

3,4-Dihydro-1,4,4a,6a-tetraaza-benzo[a]fluoren-2-one, a new tetracyclic heterocyclic framework, is designed through a simple and convenient synthetic sequence. Its 6-aryl derivatives are synthesized starting from 1H-indole-2-carboxylic acid. The reaction of differently substituted phenacyl bromides with 1H-indole-2-carboxylic acid and POCl₃-mediated cyclization of the resultant 1H-indole-2-carboxylic acid phenacyl ester provided 2-oxa-4a-aza-fluoren-1-one, and its sequential reaction with hydrazine and 2-chloro-acetamide furnished the desired new heterocyclic compounds 7a–f.

Two New 3,4‐Seco‐ent‐kaurenes and Other Constituents from the Costa Rican Endemic Species Croton megistocarpus

Following our phytochemical studies of Costa Rican plants, we report the isolation of two new 3,4‐seco‐ent‐kaurenes from the aerial parts of Croton megistocarpus (Euphorbiaceae). The structures of the two compounds were elucidated as 14‐[(2‐methylbutanoyl)oxy]‐3,4‐seco‐ent‐kaura‐4(19),16‐dien‐3‐oic acid ( 1 ) and 14‐{[(2Z)‐2‐methylbut‐2‐enoyl]oxy}‐3,4‐seco‐ent‐kaura‐4(19),16‐dien‐3‐oic acid ( 2 ). In addition, seven known diterpene clerodanes were also isolated and identified. The structures of the compounds were elucidated by spectroscopic methods, including HR‐MS, ¹H‐NMR, ¹³C‐NMR, COSY, HMQC, HMBC, and NOESY experiments.

α‐ZrP/Uracil/Cu2+ nanoparticles as an efficient catalyst in the Morita‐Baylis‐Hillman reaction

A facile synthesis of uracil‐Cu²⁺ nanoparticles immobilized on alpha‐zirconium hydrogen phosphate (α‐ZrP), abbreviated as α‐ZrP/Uracil/Cu²⁺, was presented. This compound was synthesized by the thermal method and used as a reusable catalyst for the Morita‐Baylis‐Hillman reaction without any additives. First, (3‐ iodopropyl) trimethoxysilane as a linker is reacted with α‐ZrP support to give the α‐ZrP/IPTMOS. Addition of uracil and then the addition of copper (II) acetate to α‐ZrP/IPTMOS results in the production of selected catalyst. The Morita‐Baylis‐Hillman reaction catalyzed by α‐ZrP/Uracil/Cu^{2 +} demonstrated high product yield, short reaction time and a straightforward work‐up. The catalyst with enough outside surface was easily recovered using centrifugation and reused five times without a significant reduction in its activity.     

Use of MEKC for the analysis of reactant and product of Baylis–Hillman reaction

A facile, fast and high efficiency micellar EKC has been explored for the analysis and UV detection of p‐nitrobenzaldehyde and 2‐[hydroxy(4‐nitrophenyl)methyl]‐2‐cyclopenten‐1‐one with a buffer electrolyte of 30.0 mM tetraborate and 50.0 mM sodium taurodeoxycholate at pH 9.3. Under the optimal conditions, a linear range from 7.8×10^–2 to 5.0×10² mM for those analytes (r² > 0.99) was achieved. The LOD was 3.9 μM for 2‐[hydroxy(4‐nitrophenyl)methyl]‐2‐cyclopenten‐1‐one and 7.8 μM for p‐nitrobenzaldehyde, respectively (S/N = 3). The applicability of this new method for the analysis of reactants (p‐nitrobenzaldehyde and cyclopent‐2‐enone), catalysts (imidazole or N‐methyl imidazole or 1‐benzyl‐imidazole) and product (2‐[hydroxy(4‐nitrophenyl)methyl]‐2‐cyclopenten‐1‐one) on offline Baylis–Hillman reaction was examined. The relationship between the reaction time and the amount of product has been studied. Meanwhile, three different kinds of catalysts were investigated for getting the desired moderate to good amount products. It was found that comparing with N‐methyl imidazole or 1‐benzyl‐imidazole catalyst, imidazole‐catalyzed reaction could produce more products within the same reaction time. Furthermore, the results indicated that the rate law for the investigated Baylis–Hillman reaction was second‐order reaction. The rate constant for the reaction is 1.34 (±0.01)×10^–3 mol^–1 m³/s.     

Intramolecularly hydrogen-bonded 3-phenacyl-lH-pyrido[3,4-b]-pyrazin-2-one and 2-Phenacyl-4H-pyrido[3,4-b]pyrazin-3-one

Twelve phenacyl derivatives of 1H-pyrido[3,4-b]pyrazin-2-ones and 4H-pyrido[3,4-b]pyrazin-3-ones have been synthesized. In these compounds, C = N double bonds at the 3 and 4 positions in the former compounds and those at the 1 and 2 positions in the latter compounds migrate onto the side chains to form phenacyli-dene structures. These migrations are facilitated by chelation between side chain carbonyl and the proton attached to the ring nitrogen atom which was generated by the migration. All the hydrogen-bonded structures appear to be stable as shown by their ir spectra in the crystalline state, and by their ¹H nmr spectra in solution.     

Liquid-Phase Synthesis of Methyl （2Z）-2-Arylsulfonylmethyl-2-alkenoates from PEG-Supported a-Phenylselenopropionate

Treatment of lithio derivativ e of novel PEG-supported a-phenylselenopropionate with aldehydes, followed by oxidation-elimination with 30% hydrogen peroxide, formed Baylis-Hillman products, which were then reacted with sodium arylsulfinate. The resulting sulfonylated products were cleaved from the PEG efficiently affording methyl （2Z）-2-arylsulfonylmethyl-2-alkenoates in good yields and high purities.     

Divergent Pathways and Competitive Mechanisms of Metathesis Reactions between 3‐Arylprop‐2‐ynyl Esters and Aldehydes: An Experimental and Theoretical Study

Mechanistic studies of the reaction between 3‐arylprop‐2‐ynyl esters and aldehydes catalyzed by BF₃ ? Et₂O were performed by isotopic labeling experiments and quantum chemical calculations. The reactions are shown to proceed by either a classical alkyne–carbonyl metathesis route or an unprecedented addition–rearrangement cascade. Depending on the structure of the starting materials and the reaction conditions, the products of these reactions can be Morita–Baylis–Hillman (MBH) adducts that are unavailable by traditional MBH reactions or E‐ and Z‐α,β‐unsaturated ketones. ¹⁸O‐Labeling studies suggested the existence of two different reaction pathways to the products. These pathways were further examined by quantum chemical calculations that employed the DFT(wB97XD)/6‐311+G(2d,p) method, together with the conductor‐like screening model for realistic solvation (COSMO‐RS). By using the wB97XD functional, the accuracy of the computed data is estimated to be 1–2 kcal mol^?1, shown by the careful benchmarking of various DFT functionals against coupled cluster calculations at the CCSD(T)/aug‐cc‐pVTZ level of theory. Indeed, most of the experimental data were reproduced and explained by theory and it was convincingly shown that the branching point between the two distinct mechanisms is the formation of the first intermediate on the reaction pathway: either the four‐membered oxete or the six‐membered zwitterion. The deep mechanistic understanding of these reactions opens new synthetic avenues to chemically and biologically important α,β‐unsaturated ketones.     

Effect of aniline derivatives on the extraction of cobalt with 1-phenyl-3-methyl-4-benzoylpyrazol-5-one in toluene

Summary The effect of aniline derivatives [4-methylaniline=4-toluidine, 3,4-dimethylaniline=3,4-xylidine, N,N-dimethylaniline and tribenzylamine (Am)] on the extraction of cobalt from sulphate, nitrate and perchlorate aqueous media of 1.0M ionic strength with 1-phenyl-3-methyl-4-benzoylpyrazol-5-one (HL) in toluene, has been quantitatively studied. With both primary amines a synergic effect was found owing to theAmH·CoL ₃ ion pair extraction. TheAmH·CoL ₃ average formation constant, from CoL ₂ andAmH·CoL, was logK _s =3.7 and 3.8 forAm=4-toluidine and 3,4-xylidine respectively. With N,N-dimethylaniline and tribenzylamine which are poorly protonated in the cobalt extractionpH range (4–6), no noticeable synergism was observed.On leave from: Department of Inorganic Chemistry, Chemical Faculty, Ignacy Lukasiewicz Technical University, PL-35-959 Rzeszow, Poland

2, 4‐Dimethylpenta‐1, 3‐dien‐ und 2, 4‐Dimethylpentadienyl‐Komplexe des Rhodiums und Iridiums

2, 4‐Dimethylpenta‐1, 3‐diene and 2, 4‐Dimethylpentadienyl Complexes of Rhodium and Iridium The complexes [(η⁴‐C₇H₁₂)RhCl]₂ ( 1 ) (C₇H₁₂ = 2, 4‐dimethylpenta‐1, 3‐diene) and [(η⁴‐C₇H₁₂)₂IrCl] ( 2 ) were obtained by interaction of C₇H₁₂ with [(η²‐C₂H₄)₂RhCl]₂ and [(η²‐cyclooctene)₂IrCl]₂, respectively. The reaction of 1 or 2 with CpTl (Cp = η⁵‐C₅H₅) yields the compounds [CpM(η⁴‐C₇H₁₂)] ( 3a : M = Rh; 3b : M = Ir). The hydride abstraction at the pentadiene ligand of 3a , b with Ph₃CBF₄ proceeds differently depending on the solvent. In acetone or THF the “half‐open” metallocenium complexes [CpM(η⁵‐C₇H₁₁)]BF₄ ( 4a : M = Rh; 4b : M = Ir) are obtained exclusively. In dichloromethane mixtures are produced which additionally contain the species [(η⁵‐C₇H₁₁)M(η⁵‐C₅H₄CPh₃)]BF₄ ( 5a : M = Rh; 5b : M = Ir) formed by electrophilic substitution at the Cp ring, as well as the η³‐2, 4‐dimethylpentenyl compound [(η³‐C₇H₁₃)Rh{η⁵‐C₅H₃(CPh₃)₂}]BF₄ ( 6 ). By interaction of 2, 4‐dimethylpentadienyl potassium with 1 or 2 the complexes [(η⁴‐C₇H₁₂)M(η⁵‐C₇H₁₁)] ( 7a : M = Rh; 7b : M = Ir) are generated which show dynamic behaviour in solution; however, attempts to synthesize the “open” metallocenium cations [(η⁵‐C₇H₁₁)₂M]⁺ by hydride abstraction from 7a , b failed. The new compounds were characterized by elemental analysis and spectroscopically, 4b and 5a also by X‐ray structure analysis.

Synthesis of some novel 5-substituted benzamido-6-arylamino-pyrazolo[3,4-D]pyrimidin-4-one derivatives for herbicidal activity

Abstract

Sixteen novel 3-methylthio-5-substituted benzamido-6-arylamino-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-4 (5H)-one derivatives (4a–p) were successfully synthesized from iminophosphoranes, aryl isocyanate, and substituted benzoylhydrazine. The structures of the title compounds were elucidated by FT-IR, ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, and HRMS. Herbicidal activity of the compounds 4a–p against Brassica napus (rape), Echinochloa crusgalli (barnyard grass), Cucumis sativus (cucumber), and Triticum aestivum (wheat) were determined. The results showed that 5-(2-chlorobenzamido)-6-phenylamino-3-methylthio-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-4 (5H)-one (4c) displayed remarkable inhibition activity against the stalk and root of rape with 100% inhibition rate at the dosages of 10?mg/L and 100?mg/L, and 5-(4-nitrobenzamido)-6-phenylamino-3-methylthio-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-4 (5H) -one (4d) exhibited excellent activity against the stalk and root of barnyard grass with 100% inhibition rate at the same dosages.
