    Ruthenium Catalysts for Controlled Mono- and Bis-Allylation of Active Methylene Compounds with Aliphatic Allylic Substrates

    ADVANCED SYNTHESIS & CATALYSIS (PREVIOUSLY: JOURNAL FUER PRAKTISCHE CHEMIE), Issue 16 2009
    Hui-Jun Zhang
    Abstract The allylation of 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds and malononitrile with aliphatic allylic substrates is achieved under mild conditions in the presence of new ruthenium catalysts. The ruthenium complex [Ru(C5Me5)(2-quinolinecarboxylato)(CH2CHCH- n -Pr)],[BF4] as a precatalyst, allows the synthesis of mono-allylated branched derivatives. On the other hand, the parent complex [Ru(C5Me5)(MeCN)3],[PF6] as a precatalyst, straightforwardly favours the bis-allylation of the procarbonucleophiles leading to bis-allylated bis-linear products. The involvement of the two precatalysts provides a sequential synthesis of unsymmetrical mixed linear-branched bis-allylated derivatives. [source]

    Facile and one pot synthetic routes for various novel, differently fused and promising heteropolycycles

    JOURNAL OF HETEROCYCLIC CHEMISTRY, Issue 2 2010
    Shallu Gupta
    Four-component one pot cyclocondensation of aromatic aldehydes 1, ethyl cyanoacetate 2, barbituric acid 3 and ammonium acetate in methanol gave substituted and functionalised pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidine derivatives 4 and 4, after initial Knoevenagel, subsequent Micheal and final heterocyclization reactions. Compounds 4 on reaction with different active methylene compounds resulted in the formation of again functionalized and diversly substituted pyrimidonaphthyridines 5-7, 9 and benzo[b] pyrimidonaphthyridines 8. The various compounds of systems 7 and 8 on further condensation with the reactive and mostly the bifunctional moieties like urea/thiourea, and 2-aminopyridine generated the novel and differently fused dipyrimidonaphthyridines 10/11 and pyrimidonaphthyridinoquinazolines 13/14, and pyridopyrimido- pyrimido[1,8]naphthyridines 15 and pyrimidonaphthyridino- pyridoquinazolines 16, respectively, hitherto unknown in literature. Compounds 7 on condensation with o -phenylenediamine produced novel pyrimidonaphthyridinobenzodiazepines 12. Other novel systems like pyrido[2,3-d;6,5-d,]dipyrimidines 17, dipyrimido[4,5-b:5,,4,-g][1,8]naphthyridines 18, 1,3,4,6,7,8,9,11-octazabenzo[de]naphthacenes 19, dipyrimido[4,5-b:5,,4,-g][1,8]naphthyridines 20, pyrimido[5,,4,:6,7][1,8]naphthyridino[4,3-b][1,5]benzodiazepines 21, dipyrimido[4,5-b:4,,5,-f][1,8]naphthyridines 22 and dipyrimido [4,5-b:5,,4,-g][1,8] naphthyridines 23 have also been generated in this study.

    Synthesis and application of novel styryl dyes derived from 1,4-diethyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-6-methoxyquinoxaline

    JOURNAL OF HETEROCYCLIC CHEMISTRY, Issue 2 2009
    Vijay Satam
    The novel 1,4-diethyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-7-methoxyquinoxalin-6-carboxaldehyde was synthesized, characterized, and condensed with suitably substituted active methylene compounds by classical Knoevenagel condensation reaction to obtain novel monostyryl dyes 8a-8e and a bis-styryl dye 8f. These novel styryl dyes have hue varying from orange to violet. The dyes were applied to polyester fibers. The spectral and thermal characteristics of the dyes and fastness properties of the dyed polyester fabric were investigated. J. Heterocyclic Chem., 46, 221 (2009). [source]


    Thioenols and thioamides substituted by two , -EWGs.

    JOURNAL OF PHYSICAL ORGANIC CHEMISTRY, Issue 6 2008
    Comparison with analogous amides, enols
    Abstract Condensation of organic isothiocyanates with active methylene compounds gave nine thioamides RNHCSCHYY, or their isomeric thioenols RNHC(SH),=,CYY, for substrates in which Y and Y, are electron-withdrawing groups (EWG). These included derivatives of Meldrum's acid (MA) which showed 100% thioenol in all solvents. For other compounds the percentages of thioenol in CDCl3 when R,=,Ph are 100% when Y,=,CN and Y,,=,CO2Me or Y,,=,CO2CH2CCl3, 6% when Y,=,Y,,=,CO2CH2CF3, and 0% when Y,=,Y,,=,CO2Me. The chemical shift of SH (highest values 12.0,16.0,ppm) served as a probe for the thioenol structures and also for the extent of hydrogen bonding to the SH group. In contrast to simple ketones and thioketones in which thioenolization is favored over enolization by factors as large as 106, for intramolecular competition KThioenol/KEnol ratios are much lower than for systems not substituted by , -EWGs. X-ray crystallography of the 5-anilido-MA derivative shows a hydrogen-bonded thioenol structure. ,(OH), ,(NH), KEnol, and crystallographic data for analogous thioenol and enol systems are compared.

    Organometallic dyes: Part 1.

    APPLIED ORGANOMETALLIC CHEMISTRY, Issue 11 2001
    Synthesis of orange to cyan dyes based on donor, acceptor chromogenes using ferrocene as the donor group, conjugated
    Abstract A novel series of organometallic donor,conjugated,acceptor dyes derived from ferrocene as the donor group have been synthesized via the Knoevenagel reaction of ferrocene carboxaldehyde and various active methylene compounds to give a range of dyes ranging from orange to blue,green in color. The most bathochromic dye is that derived from dialkyl thiobarbituric acid and the least is that derived from the tetralone. The dyes showed an unusual negative solvatochromism as the solvent polarity increased. All dyes synthesized are expected to have some non-linear optical properties, as evidenced from the pronounced solvatochromism. Copyright ©,2001 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. [source]

    Highly Efficient Non-Palladium-Catalyzed Controlled Synthesis and X-ray Analysis of Functionalized 1,2-Diaryl-, 1,2,3-Triaryl-, and 1,2,3,4-Tetraarylbenzenes,

    CHEMISTRY - AN ASIAN JOURNAL, Issue 2 2007
    Atul Goel Dr.
    Abstract A general, two-step, highly efficient synthesis of 1,2-diaryl-, 1,2,3-triaryl-, and 1,2,3,4-tetraarylbenzenes from simple stitching of ,-oxo-ketene- S,S -acetals and active methylene compounds via a lactone intermediate is described. This procedure offers easy access to highly functionalized arylated benzenes that contain sterically demanding groups in good to excellent yields. The novelty of the procedure lies in the construction of aromatic compounds with the desired conformational flexibility along the molecular axis in a transition-metal-free environment through easily accessible precursors. Crystal analysis of these arylated benzene scaffolds showed that the peripheral aryl rings are arranged in a propeller-like fashion with respect to the central benzene ring. Examination of the crystal packing in the structure of a 1,2,3,4-tetraarylbenzene revealed an N,,,, interaction between molecules related by a two-fold screw axis running in the direction of the a axis. Interestingly, the repeating array of N,,,, interactions around the axis of this 1,2,3,4-tetraarylbenzene forces the molecules into a helical pattern. [source]


    Direct Substitution of the Hydroxy Group at the Allylic/propargylic Position with Carbon- and Heteroatom- centered Nucleophiles Catalyzed by Yb(OTf)3

    CHINESE JOURNAL OF CHEMISTRY, Issue 4 2008
    Wen HUANG
    Abstract An efficient and highly selective Yb(OTf)3 -catalyzed direct substitution of the hydroxy group at the allylic and propargylic positions with a variety of heteroatom- and carbon-centered nucleophiles, such as alcohols, thiols, amines, amides and active methylene compounds has been developed. The advantages of the present catalytic system are wide availability of the starting materials, especially for tolerance to thiols, no need for dried solvents and additives, mild conditions, short time of reaction, simple manipulation and environmentally friendly catalyst that can be recovered and reused at least ten times without significant reduction of activity.
