Selected AbstractsSynthesis of Pyrazoles by Treatment of 3-Benzylchromones, 3-Benzylflavones and Their 4-Thio Analogues with Hydrazine,EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF ORGANIC CHEMISTRY, Issue 12 2006Albert Lévai Abstract The synthesis of pyrazoles 13,24 has been accomplished by treatment of 3-benzylchromones 1,5, 3-benzylflavones 6,12 and their 4-thio analogues 25,29 with hydrazine hydrate in hot pyridine. A plausible reaction mechanism for the formation of pyrazoles 13,24 is discussed. A 1H NMR study in [D6]DMSO allowed the presence of both pyrazole annular tautomers to be observed, due to the presence of intramolecular hydrogen bonds in each tautomer (OH--N and NH--O). GIAO/B3LYP/6-311++G** calculations were carried out on some model pyrazoles to provide a theoretical basis for the NMR experimental observations.(© Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

The four possible mono meso-formyl derivatives were isolated and characterized. Wadsworth,Emmons coupling with the anion of (diethylphosphono)acetonitrile converted these aldehydes into the four novel meso acrylonitriles. Brief treatment of these acrylonitrile systems in hot trichloroacetic acid resulted in the formation of four achiral porphyrin derivatives with unprecedented nickel complexes of quino-fused porphyrins. Subsequent removal of the nickel gave four quino-porphyrin free bases: quino[4,4a,5,6- efg]-annulated 7-demethyl-8-deethylmesoporphyrin dimethyl ester 6a, 2,-(methoxycarbonyl)quino[4,4a,5,6- jkl]-annulated 12-demethyl-13-de[2,-(methoxycarbonyl)ethyl]mesoporphyrin dimethyl ester 6b, 2,-(methoxycarbonyl)quino[4,4a,5,6- qrs]-annulated 18-demethyl-17-de(2,-methoxycarbonylethyl)mesoporphyrin dimethyl ester 6c and quino[4,5,6,7- abt]-annulated 2-demethyl-3-deethylmesoporphyrin dimethyl ester 6d. The structures of these systems were unambiguously determined via mass spectroscopy and a plethora of NMR techniques. In the same way, etioporphyrin and octaethylporphyrin were converted into the corresponding peri -condensed quinoporphyrins as products, which shows that the formation of novel pericondensed quino-porphyrins is a general reaction in the porphyrin series and will have a wide scope in this field. Also, a plausible reaction mechanism for the formation of the quinoporphyrin systems was derived. As a first test for the use of these systems as sensitizers in far-red phototherapy, the quantum yield of singlet oxygen generation by 6a in toluene was studied. This quantum yield is 0.77, which is even higher than the singlet oxygen generation by sensitized meso-tetraphenylporphyrin. Secondly, when Chinese Hamster ovary (CHO) cells were incubated in medium which contained up to 15 ,g/ml of 6a, the survival rate of the cells in the dark is complete within experimental error, showing that under these conditions, 6a is not toxic to CHO cells. When CHO cells incubated in medium containing 6a in concentrations of 1 ,g/ml and higher were treated with white light of intensity 30 mW/cm2 for 15 minutes, complete cell death was observed. Based on these facts, we expect that all four achiral systems will show very promising properties to form the basis of a photodynamic therapy in far-red light. The fact that these systems are achiral is an additional bonus for medical applications. (© Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

The synthetic protocol involves a simple one-pot coupling reaction under mild conditions, promoted by MgI2, which serves both as a Lewis acid and iodine source for a BaylisHillman -type reaction. All adducts were generated in good-to-excellent yields, the (Z)-isomers being formed in high selectivity (>98%). The conversion of methyl prop-2-ynoate into an active ,, -iodo allenolate' intermediate, which then nucleophilically attacks an aldehyde, is proposed as a plausible reaction mechanism.

A plausible reaction mechanism is discussed in the light of the results of an 18O-labeling experiment. In addition, in view of these findings, the catalytic function of DBU in reactions of this kind is reconsidered. [source] |
