Flash vacuum pyrolysis of 1-(alkyn-2′-oyl)-3-methylpyrazoles at 650°/0.03 mm forms pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyridin-5-ols, often in high yield, which may bear substituents at C2, C3 or C7. In the absence of a 3-methyl group in the precursor, N-ethynylpyrazoles are formed in low yield. The formation of both types of product is interpreted as involving 3-(N-pyrazolyl)propadienones formed by N1 → N2 migration of the N-alkynoyl group with inversion of the three-carbon chain. The fused-ring structure of 2-methylpyrazolo[1,5-a]pyridin-5-ol (25) was established by X-ray crystallography of the O-benzoyl derivative (27).

Reaction of 2-methyl-2-(prop-2′-enyl)cyclopentane-1,3-dione (2) with 2,2-dimethylpropane-1,3-diol gave 1,8,8-trimethyl-1-(prop-2′-enyl)-6,10-dioxaspiro[4.5]decan-2-one (3), hydride reduction of which afforded a 1:1 epimeric mixture of the corresponding alcohols (4a) and (4b). They were separated, and the derived benzoates (5a) and (5b) were each subjected to a three-step sequence of oxidative cleavage, borohydride reduction and silylation to give the pure epimers (8a) and (8b) of 1,8,8-trimethyl-1-(2′-t-butyldimethylsilyloxyethyl)-6,10-dioxaspiro[4.5]dec-2-yl benzoate. Flash vacuum pyrolysis of a mixture of these epimeric benzoates (8a,b) gave an almost quantitative yield of 1,8,8-trimethyl-1-(2′-t-butyldimethylsilyloxyethyl)-6,10-dioxaspiro[4.5]dec-2-ene (9a), treatment of which with tetrabutylammonium fluoride afforded the corresponding alcohol (9b). The relative stereochemistry of (1RS,2SR)-1,8,8-trimethyl-1-(prop-2′-enyl)-6,10-dioxaspiro [4.5]dec-2-yl benzoate (5b) was established by X-ray crystallography.

Thirty-six new stabilised phosphonium ylides designed to undergo thermal loss of Ph3PO and radical domino cyclisation have been prepared and are generally found to undergo the desired reaction under flash vacuum pyrolysis conditions at 850 °C. A wide range of ­tetra- and pentacyclic fused-ring heterocycles, many previously unknown, are thus formed in moderate to high yield in a single step. By using suitably substituted starting materials, substituents such as CH3 and Cl can be installed at various positions in the products. The method has also been demonstrated in a combinatorial mode to generate a small library of twelve fused-ring heterocycles in a single pyrolysis.

AbstractTreatment of THF solutions containing the rhodium(II) complex trans-[RhCl2(PtBu2Ph)2] (1) with [Fe2(CO)9] in the same solvent resulted in the formation of the Vaska-type complex trans-[RhCl(CO)(PtBu2Ph)2] (2) in high yield. The title complex 2 was obtained as pale yellow crystals, characterized by NMR and IR spectroscopy, as well as by microanalyses. Additionally, the molecular structure of 2 has been established by X-ray crystallography. As often reported for similar constituted compounds, the chlorido and carbonyl ligands in crystals of 2 are strongly disordered.

Several N-alkyl and N,N-dialkylaminomethanesulfonic acids were synthesized (as zwitterions and/or sodium salts) to be tested for utility as biological buffers at lower pH levels than existing Good buffer compounds (aminoalkanesulfonates with a minimum of two carbons between amine and sulfonic acid groups as originally described by Norman Good, and in common use as biological buffers). Our hypothesis was that a shorter carbon chain (one carbon) between the amino and sulfonic acid groups should lower the ammonium ion pK a values. The alkylaminomethanesulfonate compounds were synthesized in aqueous solution by reaction of primary or secondary amines with formaldehyde/sodium hydrogensulfite addition compound. The pK a values of the ammonium ions of this series of compounds (compared to existing Good buffers) was found to correlate well with the length of the carbon chain between the amino and sulfonate moeties, with a significant decrease in amine basicity in the aminomethanesulfonate compounds (pK a decrease of 2 units or more compared to existing Good buffers). An exception was found for the 2-hydroxypiperazine series which shows only a small pK a decrease, probably due to the site of protonation in this compound (as confirmed by X-ray crystal structure). X-ray crystallographic structures of two members of the series are reported. Several of these compounds have pK a values that would indicate potential utility for buffering at pH levels below the normal physiological range (pK a values in the range of 3 to 6 without aqueous solubility problems) – a range that is problematic for currently available Good buffers. Unfortunately, the alkylaminomethanesulfonates were found to degrade (with loss of their buffering ability) at pH levels below the pK a value and were unstable at elevated temperature (as when autoclaving) – thus limiting their utility.

Flash vacuum pyrolysis (FVP) of benzo[c]thiopyran S,S-dioxide (1) results in formation of indene and 2-vinylbenzaldehyde as previously described. A range of eight analogues with various substitution patterns are found to behave differently. In general, there is no extrusion of SO2 to give products analogous to indene, but unsaturated carbonyl products analogous to 2-vinylbenzaldehyde are formed in most cases by way of ring expansion to a 7-membered ring sultine, extrusion of SO, and intramolecular hydrogen atom transfer. Other processes observed include formation of anthracene via an isomeric 7-membered sultine with loss of SO, CO and methane or butane, and formation of 4-ethylidene-4,5-dihydrocyclobuta[b]thiophenes by way of SO loss, a radical rearrangement, and extrusion of acetone. The analogues with a halogen substituent at position 8 on the benzene ring require a higher temperature to react and give naphthalene resulting from net elimination of HX and SO2. The X-ray crystal structure of 1 is also reported.

The compound, diethyl 1-((4-methyl-2-phenyl-4,5-dihydrooxazol-4-yl)methyl)-1H-1,2,3-triazole-4,5-dicarboxylate 2, was synthesized in high yield, through 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction of 4-(azidomethyl)-4-methyl-2-phenyl-4,5-dihydrooxazole and diethyl but-2-ynedioate in the absence of a solvent. The structure of the synthesized compound was established on the basis of NMR spectroscopy (1H, 13C), X-ray crystallography, and MS data. The prepared compound was also tested in vitro for its antibacterial activity against Gram-positive bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus) and Gram-negative bacteria (Escherichia coli). The calculation of MBC/MIC ratio showed that this triazole derivative 2 had a bactericidal effect on the two strains tested.

The ultraviolet and 1H n.m.r. spectra of some 1-polymethyleneimino-2,4-dinitrobenzenes and related compounds are discussed. The effect of trifluoroacetic acid on these spectra was also investigated; with 1-azetidinyl-2,4-dinitrobenzene, acid-catalysed ring opening was observed. The solid-state conformation of 1-(cis-2′,6′-dimethylpiperidin-1′-yl)-2,4-dinitrobenzene has been defined by single-crystal X-ray crystallography. Triclinic crystals belong to the space group P–1 with a 8.165(1), b 7.865(1), c 11.148(1) Å, α 95.23(1), β 106.00(1), γ 92.63(1)˚ and Z 2. The structure was refined to a final R of 0.048 for the 2222 observed data. In the crystal, the phenyl ring adopts a slight boat conformation, while the amino and o-nitro groups are significantly twisted from the mean plane of the ring.

A series of novel bistriazenes, the 1,2-bis(1-aryl-3-methyltriazen-3-yl)ethanes, Ar-N T N-NMe-CH2CH2-NMe-N T N-Ar, have been synthesized by diazonium coupling with N,N'-dimethylethylenediamine. These bistriazenes are stable crystalline compounds and have been unequivocally characterized by IR and NMR spectroscopy (1H and 13C), and elemental analysis. The structures of two compounds in the series have been confirmed by X-ray crystallography. The 1H NMR spectra show significant line broadening of the N-methyl resonances arising from the restricted rotation around the N2-N3 bond of the triazene units. The presence of strongly electron-withdrawing groups on the aryl ring restricts the rotation to the point where the N-methyl signals of the rotamers are distinct even at room temperature; four resonances of the N-methyl signal are clearly evident and these can be assigned to the anti-anti, syn-syn, and syn-anti conformations of the bistriazene. Diazonium coupling with N,N'-diethylethylenediamine affords the N,N'-diethyl homologues of the bistriazenes, which have been similarly characterized. As model compounds to assist in spectroscopic analysis, a series of related triazenes, the 1-(1-aryl-3-methyltriazen-3-yl)-N,N-dimethyl-2-ethanamines, were prepared by diazonium coupling with N,N,N'-trimethylethylenediamine. These dialkyltriazenes exist mainly as oils, but characterization was achieved by IR, 1H NMR, and 13C NMR spectroscopy, also showing the presence of two rotamers in solution when strongly electron-withdrawing substituents are bonded to the aryl moiety.Key words: triazene, bistriazene, diazonium, ethylenediamine, molecular dynamics, NMR.
