The reaction of 2-methoxy-3-nitrothiophene with N-benzylmethylamine in methanol

1990

The kinetics of the title reaction has been studied in methanol as a function of amine and methoxide ion concentrations. The kinetic coefficients obtained point out that the reaction is catalysed by methoxide through a SB catalysis mechanism.

[reaction: see text] The kinetics of the rearrangement of the Z-phenylhydrazone of 3-benzoyl-5-phenyl-1,2,4-oxadiazole (1a) into the relevant 4-benzoylamino-2,5-diphenyl-1,2,3-triazole (2a) induced by amines have been studied in two room-temperature ionic liquids (IL-1, [BMIM][BF4] and IL-2, [BMIM][PF6]). The data collected show that the reaction occurs faster in ionic liquids than in other conventional solvents previously studied (both polar or apolar, protic or aprotic). Presumably, this could depend on their peculiar ability to minimize the strong substrate-solvent, amine-solvent and amine-amine interactions occurring in conventional solvents.

Mononuclear rearrangement of heterocycles in ionic liquids catalyzed by copper(II) salts

2008

Abstract The reactivity of E- and Z-phenylhydrazones of 3-benzoyl-5-phenyl-1,2,4-oxadiazole in the presence of CuCl2 and Cu(ClO4)2·6H2O has been studied in four imidazolium ionic liquids [bmim][X] (X=BF4−, PF6−, SbF6− and CF3SO3−). The reaction may follow different mechanistic patterns, depending on the nature of the ionic liquid anion, accounting for both qualitative and kinetic data. In the presence of CuCl2, two processes take place at the same time, i.e., the E⇆Z isomerization and the rearrangement of Z-isomer into the relevant 4-benzoylamino-2,5-diphenyl-1,2,3-triazole. In contrast, in the presence of Cu(ClO4)2·6H2O, the rearrangement occurs only in solution of [bmim][BF4] and [bmim][C…

On the Rearrangement in Dioxane/Water of (Z)-Arylhydrazones of 5-Amino-3-benzoyl-1,2,4-oxadiazole into (2-Aryl-5-phenyl-2H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)ureas: …

2006

We have recently evidenced an interesting differential behavior in the reactivity in dioxane/water between the (Z)-2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazone (1a) and the (Z)-phenylhydrazone (1b) of 5-amino-3-benzoyl-1,2,4- oxadiazole. The former rearranges into the relevant triazole 2a only at pS+ > 4.5 while undergoing hydrolysis at high proton concentration (pS+ < 3.5); on the contrary, the latter rearranges into 2b in the whole pS+ range examined (0.1 e pS+ e 14.9). Thus, for a deeper understanding of these differences we have now collected kinetic data on the rearrangement in dioxane/water of a series of 3- or 4-substituted (Z)-phenylhydrazones (1c-l) of 5-amino-3-benzoyl-1,2,4-oxadiazole in a wide ra…

Mononuclear Rearrangement of the Z-Phenylhydrazones of Some 3-Acyl-1,2,4-oxadiazoles: Effect of Substituents on the Nucleophilic Character of the &gt…

2019

The reaction rates for the mononuclear rearrangement of the Z-phenylhydrazones of 3-acyl-1,2,4-oxadiazoles 3a-c into the relevant 2-phenyl-2 H-1,2,3-triazoles (4a-c) have been measured in dioxane/water at different temperatures in a large range of proton concentrations. The occurrence of two different reaction pathways (one uncatalyzed, water assisted, and the other general base catalyzed) has- been observed. The obtained results have been able to furnish information about the effects of the nature of the 3-acyl structure and of the 5-substituents in the 1,2,4-oxadiazole ring on the reactivity of the examined rearrangements: they are well in line with the previsions carried out considering …

Electron Ionization Induced Fragmentation of some 3-Aroylamino-5-Methyl-1,2,4- Oxadiazoles and 3-Acetylamino-5-Aryl-1,2,4-Oxadiazoles

2017

: Background and objectives. 1,2,4-Oxadiazoles show a high reactivity and represent starting compounds for the synthesis of several other heterocycles. Some their derivatives can give the so called Boulton-Katritzky Reactions (BKR) which opens the way to the synthesis of several azoles. For this reason we have registered the mass spectra of several 3-aroylamino-5-methyl-1,2,4-oxadiazoles and 3-acetylamino-5-aryl-1,2,4-oxadiazoles. Methods and results. Thus, studying the mass spectra of the isomeric couple 3-benzoylamino-5-methyl-1,2,4-oxadiazole (1A) and 3-acetylamino-5-phenyl-1,2,4-oxadiazoles (1B) we have observed that MIKE and CID MIKE spectra of their molecular ions and of the [M – CH2C…

Acid- and Base-Catalysis in the Mononuclear Rearrangement of Some (Z)-arylhydrazones of 5-Amino-3-benzoyl-1,2,4-oxadiazole in Toluene: Effect of Subs…

2011

The reaction rates for the rearrangement of eleven (Z)-arylhydrazones of 5-amino-3-benzoyl-1,2,4-oxadiazole 3a-k into the relevant (2-aryl-5-phenyl-2H-1, 2,3-triazol-4-yl)ureas 4a-k in the presence of trichloroacetic acid or of piperidine have been determined in toluene at 313.1 K. The results have been related to the effect of the aryl substituent by using Hammett and/or Ingold-Yukawa-Tsuno correlations and have been compared with those previously collected in a protic polar solvent (dioxane/water) as well as with those on the analogous rearrangement of the corresponding (Z)-arylhydrazones of 3-benzoyl-5-phenyl-1,2,4-oxadiazole 1a-k in benzene. Some light can thus be shed on the general di…

Crystal structure and reactivity of 2-chloro-3,5-dinitrothiophene and of 2-phenylsulphonyl-3,5-dinitrothiophene with nucleophiles

1988

The geometry obtained by a crystal structure determination of the title compounds, as compared with that of the analogous benzene derivatives, along with results of ab initio calculations, is used to interpret the different SNAr reactivities in some thiophene and benzene compounds. The smaller rotation of the nitro groups with respect to the aromatic rings observed in thiophene derivatives should be considered a relevant factor in the higher reactivity in the thiophene series.

Ru(bpy)2Cl2: A catalyst able to shift the course of the photorearrangement in the Boulton-Katritzky reaction

2015

The Boulton-Katritzky reaction represents one of the most popular and efficient strategies used to realize azole-into-azole conversions. For example, under different experimental conditions, it allows the rearrangement of Z-arylhydrazones of 3-benzoyl-5-phenyl-1,2,4-oxadiazoles (1) into 2-aryl-4-benzoylamino-5-phenyl-2H-1,2,3-triazoles (2) in very high yields. Moreover, we have recently realized this conversion also by UV-photostimulation. Now we have enlarged the scope of the reaction irradiating with visible or UV light an acetonitrile solution of some Z-arylhydrazones (1a-e) in the presence of catalytic amounts of Ru(bpY)(2)Cl-2. We have observed the unexpected formation of the 1-aryl-5-…

2005

Abstract The rearrangement rates of several di-, tri-, tetra- or penta-substituted Z -arylhydrazones of 3-benzoyl-5-phenyl-1,2,4-oxadiazole ( 1a – 18a ) into the relevant 2-aryl-4-benzoylamino-5-phenyl-1,2,3-triazoles ( 1b – 18b ) have been determined in 1:1 (v:v) dioxane/water in a wide range of p S + (3.80–12.50) at different temperatures. The kinetic data obtained have been correlated with those previously collected for the rearrangement of ortho -, meta - and para -substituted Z -arylhydrazones ( 19a – 38a ) by means of an extension of the linear free-energy relationship (LFER) proposed by Fujita and Nishioka, thus considering steric ( E s ) and field ( F o ) proximity effects in additi…

On the Nucleophilic Reactivity of 4,6-Dichloro-5-nitrobenzofuroxan with Some Aliphatic and Aromatic Amines: Selective nucleophilic substitution

2020

The reaction rates for the nucleophilic aromatic substitution of 4,6-dichloro-5-nitrobenzofuroxan 1 with eight aliphatic amines (characterized by very different basicities/ nucleophilicities) and three anilines have been measured in both methanol and toluene. The obtained rates have been related to the basicity (pKaH in water and Kb in benzene) or nucleophilicity (N Mayr constants) of the tested amines. The whole of the obtained kinetic data has furnished useful information on the high nucleophilic reactivity of benzofuroxan derivatives, which has been related essentially to two factors: the high electron-drawing ability/power of the condensed furoxan ring and the low aromatic character of …

Substituent effect on the redox potential of substituted (aryl)(2-nitrobenzo[ b ]thiophen-3-yl)amines

2001

Abstract The electronic effect of some meta- or para-substituents on the reduction of the title compounds has been investigated. The reversible reduction potential values of these compounds have been evaluated by cyclic voltammetry at a mercury electrode in 0.1 M tetraethylammoniumtetrafluoroborate, dimethylsulfoxide solutions. The substituent effect depends on both its nature and its position. The reduction potential values of the derivatives studied have been correlated with the Hammett substituent constants.

Fluorinated Heterocyclic Compounds. An Effective Strategy for the Synthesis of Fluorinated Z-Oximes of 3-Perfluoroalkyl-6-phenyl-2H-1,2,4-triazin- 5-…

2005

The reaction of 3-benzoyl-5-perfluoroalkyl-1,2,4-oxadiazoles with hydrazine has been investigated, evidencing the possibility of competitive reaction paths. Nucleophilic addition of the hydrazine to the electrophilic C(5) of the 1,2,4-oxadiazole ring, followed by ring opening and ring closure with enlargement, leads with high yield and in very mild experimental conditions to the formation of Z-oximes of 3-perfluoroalkyl-6-phenyl-2H-1,2,4-triazin-5-ones (11a-c) as major products of the reaction. In turn, the hydrazine can attack the electrophilic carbonyl carbon giving 4-perfluoroacylamino-5-phenyl-2H-1,2,3-triazoles (13a-c) through the well-known Boulton-Katritzky rearrangement of the inter…

On the reactivity of 3-bromo-2-nitrobenzo[ b ]thiophene with nucleophiles: elucidation of the base-catalysed mechanism with rearrangement

2001

Abstract The reactivity of 3-bromo-2-nitrobenzo[b]thiophene (1) with several (anionic and neutral) nucleophiles has been examined. Only with neutral, weak nucleophiles (as anilines) 1 gives, in the presence of non-nucleophilic bases (triethylamine or potassium carbonate), together with the ‘expected’ 3-amino-2-nitrobenzo[b]thiophenes (3) also the ‘unexpected’ 2-amino-3-nitrobenzo[b]thiophenes (4). The composition of the final isomeric mixture depends on the base added (nature and quantity) and on the solvent used. The results demonstrate the relevance of base-catalysis and support a reaction pathway involving the formation of an anionic intermediate (B) which undergoes addition of a second …

1999

The 70 eV and mass-analysed ion kinetic energy (MIKE) spectra of some thiophenecarboxanilides and benzoylanilides (1–10) have been compared in order to investigate the role of the aroyl (or heteroaroyl) moiety on the abundance of the competitive fragmentation reactions occurring in their molecular ions (amide–bond cleavage and phenol radical ion formation). It has been shown that the electron ionisation induced decompositions with high (70 eV) and low (MIKE) internal energy excess are qualitatively similar, but remarkable quantitative differences have been observed that can be accounted for in terms of the different effectiveness in the transmission of electronic effects of substituents in …

Room temperature ionic liquids structure and its effect on the mononuclear rearrangement of heterocycles: an approach using thermodynamic parameters.

2006

The kinetics of the rearrangement of the Z-phenylhydrazone of 3-benzoyl-5-phenyl-1,2,4-oxadiazole (1) into the relevant 4-benzoylamino-2,5-diphenyl-1,2,3-triazole (2) induced by amines have been studied in five room-temperature ionic liquids (RTILs) at different temperatures. The kinetic data collected show that both cationic and anionic parts of RTILs significantly influence the reactivity of the title reaction. The calculated activation parameters allow us to advance hypotheses about the weak interactions operating in RTIL solutions.

Convergent results from experimental and theoretical DFT studies of the intramolecular rearrangement of Z-hydrazones of 3-acetyl-1,2,4-oxadiazoles

2004

A combined kinetic and theoretical study of the monocyclic rearrangements of heterocycles (MRH) has been carried out. The interconversion of the Z-hydrazone of 3-benzoyl-5-phenyl-1,2,4-oxadiazole into the corresponding triazole has been experimentally investigated in dioxane/water in the pS(+) range 5.5(5)-13.9. The uncatalyzed region has been examined at the DFT level using a model system formed by the Z-hydrazone of 3-formyl-1,2,4-oxadiazole and one or two water molecules. The environmental effect of the solvent has been emulated using a continuum model (COSMO) approach. The kinetic data suggest a concerted process where the magnitude of the activation barrier is determined by the interpl…

1996

The electron-ionisation-induced amide-bond cleavage of some 2′-methyl- and 2′-ethyl-substituted 2- and 3-thiophenecarboxanilides, which yields formally anilylium ions having relative intensities apparently in contrast with the Stevenson‐Audier rule, has been investigated by mass-analysed ion kinetic energy (MIKE) spectrometry and compared to that of the 3 ′- and 4′-isomers. It has been shown that, in the case of the 2 ′-methyl and 2′-ethyl derivatives, the amide-bond cleavage is anchimerically assisted through the hidden migration of a benzyl hydrogen to the nitrogen. Analysis of the MIKE and collision-induced decomposition (CID) MIKE spectra of model compounds indicates that this cryptic o…

1995

It has been shown by exact mass measurements and collision-induced dissociation mass-analysed ion kinetic energy spectra that the structure of the m/z 124 ion observed in the mass spectra of N-(4-methoxyphenyl)thiophene-2-carboxamide, N-(4-methoxyphenyl)thiophene-3-carboxamide, N-(4-methoxyphenyl)-5-nitrothiophene-3-carboxamide and N-(4-methoxyphenyl)benzamide is identical with that of the molecular ion of 4-methoxyphenol. This ion becomes abundant in metastable energy window reactions. A probable mechanism for its formation is discussed.

Apolar versus polar solvents: a comparison of the strength of some organic acids against different bases in toluene and in water

2010

The constants of ion-pair formation with 3-nitroaniline (3NO(2)A) for eight halogenoacetic acids (HAAs, 3a-h: TFA, TCA, TBA, DFA, DCA, DBA, MCA, and MBA), and five 2,2-dichloroalkanoic acids containing 3-8 carbon atoms (HAs, 5a-e: DCPA, DCBA, DCMBA, DCVA, and DCOA) have been determined in TOL at 298.1 K. The results obtained brought to evidence for HAAs the formation of ion-pairs with two different stoichiometries (base-acid, 1:1 or 1:2), while in contrast the HAs furnish only the 1:1 pairs. The different steric and electronic requirements of HAAs and HAs seem to be responsible for such an unlikely behavior. At the same time, the acid-catalyzed MRH of the (Z)-phenylhydrazone of 5-amino-3-be…

Protonation equilibria of some ortho-substituted and annelated aryl and thiophen-2-yl and -3-yl ketones

2001

For some phenyl- (1–8) and thiophen-2-yl (9–11) and thiophen-3-yl (12–14) ketones quantum-mechanical (PM3) calculations have been performed, and for compounds 2, 3, 5–8, 10–14 protonation equilibria have been determined. Phenyl ketones have similar values for the m* parameter and show good linear correlation between the proton affinities calculated in the gas phase and the measured pKBH+ values, which in turn parallel the trend for the calculated carbonyl–phenyl ring dihedral angle. It appears that the differences in basicity are governed essentially by “internal” factors (carbonyl–ring conjugation), while the base–conjugate acid differential solvation is not significantly affected by struc…

Analysis of metabolism and genotoxicity of 5-nitro-3-thiophenecarboxanilides in bacterial, mammalian and human cells

1995

5-nitro-3-thiophenecarboxanilide (NTCA3) was clearly mutagenic in Salmonella typhimurium strains TA98, YG1021 (the strain with elevated nitroreductase) and YG1024 (the strain with elevated O-acetyltransferase) and only slightly mutagenic at the gpt locus in AS52 cells. Clastogenic activity in human lymphocytes was dependent on the length of exposure : detectable chromosome aberrations were observed following a 24 h treatment period, but not after 3 h exposure. S9 increased genotoxicity in both mammalian cells and human lymphocytes. Metabolites formed by incubation of NTCA3 with the different cell systems were examined. A time-course study in cell whole extracts showed that bacterial and mam…

On the structure of 3-acetylamino-5-methyl-1,2,4-oxadiazole and on the fully degenerate rearrangements (FDR) of its anion: a stimulating comparison b…

2009

An accurate crystal structure determination has provided evidence for a planar conformation for 3-acetylamino-5-methyl-1,2,4-oxadiazole (5), in agreement with quantum-mechanical calculations in the gas phase. In the crystal, a series of strong intermolecular N7H7….O9 hydrogen bonds link the amido groups of different molecules, causing the formation of infinite parallel ordered chains. The effect of the DMSO solvent on the energy and charge distribution of compound 5 and on its relevant 5− anion, involved in a fully degenerate rearrangement (FDR), has been deepened by quantum-mechanical DFT calculations. The calculated energy barrier for the FDR increases in going from in vacuo to DMSO, in a…

Fluorinated Heterocyclic Compounds− The First Example of an Irreversible Ring-Degenerate Rearrangement on Five-Membered Heterocycles by Attack of an …

2004

The reactions of 5-perfluoroalkyl-1,2,4-oxadiazoles 3 with hydroxylamine in DMF give the regioisomeric 3-perfluoroalkyl-1,2,4-oxadiazoles 4 in excellent yields. This process is the first example of ring-degenerate rearrangement (RDR) occurring on five-membered heterocycles by attack of an external bidentate nucleophile, which replaces two heteroatoms of the ring. We suggest that an ANRORC-like mechanism occurs in which the addition of the nucleophilic nitrogen atom (NH2OH) on the C(5) atom of 3 is followed by ring opening and irreversible ring-degenerate closure by attack of the nucleophilic oxygen atom (=NOH) on the C(3) atom of the original ring, realizing an elegant and efficient synthes…

CuCl catalyzed radical cyclisation of N-alpha-perchloroacyl-ketene-N,S-acetals: a new way to prepare disubstituted maleic anhydrides

2012

The discovery that cycloalkanes can form thermomorphic systems with typical polar organic solvents has led to the development of less-polar electrolyte solutions. Their mixing and separation can be regulated reversibly at a moderate temperature range. The phase switching temperature can be controlled by changing the solvent compositions. While biphasic conditions are maintained below the phase switching temperature, conductive monophasic conditions as less-polar electrolyte solutions are obtained above the phase switching temperature. After the electrochemical transformations, biphasic conditions are reconstructed below the phase switching temperature, facilitating the separation of cycloal…

1980

The kinetic behaviour of the geometrical isomers I-E and I-Z of the title compound in the presence of piperidine in benzene has been investigated. The kinetic results suggest that I-Z rearranges directly into 2,5-diphenyl-4-benzoylamino-1,2,3-triazole (II), whereas I-E probably rearranges only through the intermediate I-Z formed by isomerization. All the reactions studied are piperidine-catalyzed.

Substituent effects on the mechanism changeover in a multipathway reaction: A model for the behavior of biological systems?

2009

By studying the rearrangement in dioxane/water of a series of (Z)-arylhydrazones of 5-amino-3- benzoyl-1,2,4-oxadiazole (1a-k) into the relevant (2-aryl-5-phenyl-2H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)ureas (2a-k) in a wide range of pS + (an operational scale of proton concentration in the mixed solvent used; dioxane/water, 1:1, v:v), the occurrence of three different reaction pathways (specific-acid- catalyzed, uncatalyzed, and general-base-catalyzed) for the relevant SNi process has been recently enlightened. The significantly different substituent effects on the three pathways cause some crossovers in the log kA,R versus pS + plots. Both the pS + value at which the crossover occurs and the width of the u…

ChemInform Abstract: Gas-Phase and Solution Basicities of Some Alkyl 2,6-Dialkylphenyl Ketones: A Comparative Analysis.

2000

Abstract The gas-phase basicity of a number of alkyl 2,6-dialkylphenyl ketones (2,6-R2C6H3COR′) has been found to be almost insensitive to structural variations, as a result of a compensation of steric and electronic effects associated with the bulkiness and to the polarizability, respectively, of R and/or R′. On the contrary, the basicity in concentrated sulfuric acid undergoes, along the same series of compounds, a variation of nearly 8 pK units, as a consequence of steric inhibition of solvation of the protonated carbonyl as the main effect played by R and/or R′. The results in the condensed phase agree very nicely with recent findings relevant to some 4-substituted 2,6-dimethylacetophen…

On the reaction of 3-bromo-2-nitrobenzo[b]thiophene with some ortho-substituted anilines: an analysis of the products of reaction and of their NMR an…

2003

Abstract The title reaction, carried out in DMF in the presence of triethylamine or potassium carbonate, has furnished the ‘expected’ 3-amino-2-nitrobenzo[ b ]thiophenes 2 o together with the ‘unexpected’ 2-amino-3-nitrobenzo[ b ]thiophenes 3 o , thus recalling the situation observed with other weak nucleophiles in the presence of non-nucleophilic bases. The effects (electronic as well as steric) of the ortho -substituent (OH, NH 2 , OMe, Me, Et, F, Cl and Br) on the course of the reaction have been investigated, determining their influence on yields and product ratios ( 2 o / 3 o ). An analysis of 13 C NMR and MS spectra of 2 o and 3 o has been carried out. Ab initio computations on 2 o f …

15N NMR: Substituent effect analysis inpara-andmeta-substituted phenylhydrazines

1994

15N NMR spectra of phenylhydrazine and of 14 para- and meta-substituted phenylhydrazines were measured at natural isotope abundance in DMSO-d6 solution. The substituent present exerts a larger influence on the chemical shift of the nitrogen atom directly bound to the aromatic ring (N-1) than on the second one (N-2), which shows an attenuated and inverted trend. The chemical shifts of N-1 and N-2 give a good cross correlation in both series of compounds if p-NO2 and m-F derivatives are excluded from the correlations of para- and meta-substituted phenylhydrazines, respectively. Moreover, N-1 SCS values show good linear correlations with Hammett substituent constants, with SCSs of directly bou…

Mononuclear rearrangement of heterocycles in zwitterionic micelles of amine oxide surfactants.

2012

Abstract Rate constants for the mononuclear rearrangement (MRH) of Z -phenylhydrazones of some 5-substituted-3-benzoyl-1,2,4-oxadiazoles in water have been measured in the presence of zwitterionic micelles. The use of micellized N -tetradecyl- N , N -dimethylamineoxide (C 14 DMAO) as the reaction medium allowed to solubilize the otherwise water-insoluble oxadiazoles. Micellar rate effects were analyzed by using a simple pseudo-phase model and compared with those obtained in non-ionic micelles (Triton X-100). Evidence that both the rate of the rearrangement reaction and the binding of the substrates to the micelles are mainly governed by substrate hydrophobicity is obtained. The disagreement…

2008

Abstract In order to study the intrinsic characteristics and to evaluate the structural variations determined by the addition of a co-solvent to 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ([bmim][BF 4 ]) we examined the behaviour of some probes in [bmim][BF 4 ]/co-solvent binary mixtures. The rate constants of the piperidino-catalyzed rearrangement of the Z -phenylhydrazone of the 3-benzoyl-5-phenyl-1,2,4-oxadiazole into the relevant 4-benzoylamino-2,5-diphenyl-1,2,3-triazole as well as the spectrometric properties of pyrene and Nile Red were evaluated. With the same purpose also 1 H NMR and conductivity measurements were carried out. By comparison the behaviour of 1-butyl-3-methylimidaz…

2010

Abstract By using a multi-parameter approach (a combination of Hammett/Ingold-Yukawa-Tsuno/Fujita-Nishioka free energy relationships) the mononuclear rearrangements of heterocycles (MRH) rates for five new ortho-substituted and ten new di-, tri-, or tetra-substituted (Z)-arylhydrazones of 5-amino-3-benzoyl-1,2,4-oxadiazole into the relevant (2-aryl-5-phenyl-2H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)ureas (in dioxane/water and in a large range of pS+ values) have been related to the electronic and proximity effects exerted by the present substituents, also considering previous results on some mono meta- and para-substituted (Z)-arylhydrazones. In every case, excellent correlation coefficients have been calculat…

2015

Abstract The rearrangement of eight new Z -arylhydrazones of 3-benzoyl-5-phenylisoxazoles ( 3d – k ) into the relevant 2-aryl-4-phenacyl-2 H -1,2,3-triazoles ( 4d – k ) in dioxane/water solution at different proton concentrations has been quantitatively studied in a wide temperature range (293–333 K). The data collected together with some our previous ones on compounds 3a – c have allowed a deep study of the substituent effects on the course of the rearrangement, thus increasing our knowledge on the Boulton–Katritzky reactions in isoxazole derivatives and on the temperature effects on free energy relationships.

Study of aromatic nucleophilic substitution with amines on nitrothiophenes in room-temperature ionic liquids: are the different effects on the behavi…

2006

The kinetics of the nucleophilic aromatic substitution of some 2-L-5-nitrothiophenes (para-like isomers) with three different amines (pyrrolidine, piperidine, and morpholine) were studied in three room-temperature ionic liquids ([bmim][BF4], [bmim][PF6], and [bm(2)im][BF4], where bmim = 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium and bm(2)im = 1-butyl-2,3-dimethylimidazolium). To calculate thermodynamic parameters, a useful instrument to gain information concerning reagent-solvent interactions, the reaction was carried out over the temperature range 293-313 K. The reaction occurs faster in ionic liquids than in conventional solvents (methanol, benzene), a dependence of rate constants on amine concentration…

Influence of nitroreductase and O-acetyltransferase on the mutagenicity of substituted nitrobenzothiophenamines in Salmonella typhimurium.

1999

The mutagenic activity of 17 substituted (aryl)(2-nitrobenzo[b]thiophen-3yl)amines has been evaluated in the Ames test with different isogenic strains of Salmonella typhimurium, that varied in their expression of nitroreductase and O-acetyltransferase. Active derivatives induced frameshift mutations in TA98 strain, and differences in the chemical structure resulted in up to 15-fold changes in mutagenic activity. The non-mutagenic compounds are the unsubstituted parent compound and derivatives with para-chloro, para-fluoro, para-diethylamino, meta-bromo and para-dimethylamino groups. They do not show any activity even in strains with higher level of nitroreductase or O-acetyltransferase. The…

Photochemical isomerization of aryl hydrazones of 1,2,4-oxadiazole derivatives into the corresponding triazoles

2012

The photochemical version of the Boulton-Katritzky reaction has been studied, examining the behaviour of the arylhydrazones of 3-benzoyl-5-X-1,2,4-oxadiazoles. The effect of several modifications of the substrates structure (the E and/or Z structures of arylhydrazones, the possible presence of substituents in the arylhydrazono moiety, and the nature of substituents at C-5 of the 1,2,4-oxadiazole ring) on the course of the photochemical rearrangement has been examined.

A green way to gamma-lactams through a copper catalyzed ARGET-ATRC in ethanol and in the presence of ascorbic acid

2011

Abstract A ‘green’ ARGET-ATRC, for the CuCl[PMDETA] catalysed cyclo -isomerization of N -allyl-α-polychloroamides to γ-lactams is described. The process works efficiently (yields 78–96%), uses a bio-solvent, as ethanol, and exploits the reducing feature of ascorbic acid to limit, at a low level (2–4%), the amount of catalyst. To preserve the efficacy of the catalytic cycle, addition of Na 2 CO 3 is essential, which quenches the HCl released during the CuCl[PMDETA] regeneration step. Profitable features of the process are: mild reaction temperatures (25–37 °C), relatively short reaction times (usually 5 h) and low solvent volumes (2 mmol of substrate/mL of ethanol). The method, upon stoichio…

Mononuclear rearrangements of heterocycles in water/β-CD: information on the real site of reaction from structural modifications of substrates and fr…

2007

Abstract The effect of β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) on the reactivity in the base-catalyzed pathway for the rearrangement in water of some ( Z )-hydrazones of 3-benzoyl-1,2,4-oxadiazoles ( 1b – f ) into the relevant triazoles ( 2b – f ) was investigated, finding different behavior as a function of the proton concentration. ESIMS and 1 H NMR data evidence the formation of host – guest complexes. The whole of the experimental and calculated (MM2) data enabled us to draw some intriguing conclusions concerning the influence of the structures of the substrates and the nature of the formed host – guest complexes on the real site of the reaction.

Five-to-Six Membered Ring-rearrangements in the Reaction of 5-Perfluoroalkyl-1,2,4-oxadiazoles with Hydrazine and Methylhydrazine

2006

The hydrazinolysis reaction of 5-perfluoroalkyl-1,2,4-oxadiazoles with hydrazine or methylhydrazine as bidentate nucleophiles has been investigated. The reaction occurred through the addition of the bidentate nucleophile to the C(5)-N(4) double bond of the 1,2,4-oxadiazole followed by ring-opening and ring-closure (ANRORC) involving the second nucleophilic site of the reagent. This ring-closure step could involve either the original C(3) of the 1,2,4-oxadiazole (giving a five-to-five membered ring rearrangement) or an additional electrophilic center linked to it (exploiting a five-to-six membered ring rearrangement). An alternative initial nucleophilic attack may involve the additional elec…

On the behaviour of the (Z)-Phenylhydrazones of some 5-alkyl-3-benzoyl-1,2,4-oxadiazoles in solution and in the gas phase: kinetic and spectrometric …

2008

Abstract Rate constants, k A,R , for the rearrangement of the ( Z )-phenylhydrazones ( 1a – e ) of a series of 5-alkyl-3-benzoyl-1,2,4-oxadiazoles substituted at C(5) with linear alkyl chains of different length (from C 4 up to C 12 ) into the relevant 4-acylamino-2,5-diphenyl-1,2,3-triazoles ( 2a – e ) have been measured in dioxan/water in the base-catalyzed region (pS + 10.5–12.6). For each substrate log  k A,R are linearly related to pS + . The significant decrease of the slopes of these straight lines (from 0.96 down to 0.78) upon increasing the length of the linear alkyl chain at C(5) and that of the reactivity (down to 14–26%) upon increasing the substrate concentration suggest a decr…

Isomerization and rearrangement of (E)- and (Z)-phenylhydrazones of 3-benzoyl-5-phenyl-1,2,4-oxadiazole: evidence for a “new” type of acid-catalysis …

2008

A kinetic investigation in methanol of the title reaction has evidenced the occurrence of two processes: the 1-E1-Z isomerization and the rearrangement of the (Z)-isomer into the relevant 4-benzoylamino-2,5-diphenyl-1,2,3-triazole (1-Z  T). The latter reaction is in line with the ability of the (Z)-phenylhydrazones of 3-benzoyl-1,2,4-oxadiazoles to undergo the so called mononuclear rearrangement of heterocycles (MRH). The occurrence of both the examined reactions is dependent on a Lewis-acid-catalysis. The obtained results have shown the possibility of a ‘new’ type of acid-catalysis (bifunctional catalysis by Lewis salts) in the MRH. This catalysis operates through a completely different me…

ChemInform Abstract: On the Reactivity of Nitrosoimidazoles with Acids (the Cusmano-Ruccia Reaction): A Continuous Source of New Ring-into-Ring Inter…

2014

Abstract An extension of the ‘Cusmano–Ruccia’ reaction is reported. 6-(4-chlorophenyl)-3-methyl-5-nitrosoimidazo[2,1- b ]oxazole by the action of hydrochloric acid gives 3-(4-chlorobenzoyl)-5-methyl-1,2,4-oxadiazole ( 13 ); presumably via ammonium ion, CO 2 and methanol elimination. The relevance of the nature of the atom of the B -ring linked to C-2 of the imidazole for the occurrence of the ring-into-ring interconversion has been once more confirmed.

Mononuclear heterocyclic rearrangements. Part III. Rearrangement of theP-methoxyphenylhydrazone and them-nitrophenylhydrazone of 3-benzoyl-5-phenyl-1…

1979

The rates of the mononuclear heterocyclic rearrangement of the p-methoxyphenylhydrazone (Ib) and the m-nitrophenylhydrazone (1c) of 3-benzoyl-5-phenyl-1,2,4-oxadiazole have been measured in the range of pS+ 3.8–11.5 (solvent: dioxane/water 1:1, v:v) and compared with those of the unsubstituted phenylhydrazone (Ia). The obtained results show that in the base-catalyzed range, electron-repelling as well as electron-withdrawing substituents accelerate the rearrangement rates.

Gas-phase and solution basicities of some alkyl 2,6-dialkylphenyl ketones: A comparative analysis

2000

Abstract The gas-phase basicity of a number of alkyl 2,6-dialkylphenyl ketones (2,6-R2C6H3COR′) has been found to be almost insensitive to structural variations, as a result of a compensation of steric and electronic effects associated with the bulkiness and to the polarizability, respectively, of R and/or R′. On the contrary, the basicity in concentrated sulfuric acid undergoes, along the same series of compounds, a variation of nearly 8 pK units, as a consequence of steric inhibition of solvation of the protonated carbonyl as the main effect played by R and/or R′. The results in the condensed phase agree very nicely with recent findings relevant to some 4-substituted 2,6-dimethylacetophen…

On the Dichotomic Behavior of the Z-2,4-Dinitrophenylhydrazone of 5-Amino-3-benzoyl-1,2,4-oxadiazole with Acids in Toluene and in Dioxane/Water:  Rea…

2004

The mononuclear rearrangement (MRH) of the Z-2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazone (4a) and of the Z-phenylhydrazone (4b) of 5-amino-3-benzoyl-1,2,4-oxadiazole into the relevant triazoles 5a and 5b in toluene has been quantitatively investigated in the presence of trichloroacetic acid (TCA) and of piperidine at 313.1 K. While the behavior in the presence of piperidine recalls the one previously evidenced for some Z-hydrazones of 3-benzoyl-5-phenyl-1,2,4-oxadiazole, the study of the reactivity in the presence of TCA has most interestingly evidenced a general-acid-catalyzed rearrangement for “both” 4a and 4b. Thus, 4a offers the first example of a solvent-dependent dichotomic behavior in MRH processes o…

Analysis of13C NMR substituent chemical shifts in some (aryl)(2-nitrobenzo [b]thiophen-3-yl)amines: A new class of compounds with analgesic, anti-exu…

1995

The 13C NMR chemical shift values of (aryl)(2-nitrobenzo[b]thiophen-3-yl)amines were measured in DMSO-d6 solutions, suggesting the occurrence of an alternate charge polarization at C-3, C-2, C-3a, C-7a, C-4 and C-5. A dual substituent parameter analysis of the experimental data indicates a large or a low resonance contribution for aryl para or meta substituents, respectively, while the inductive component remains constant throughout.

Thiophene series. Substituent effect on thiophenoxy debromination of various 2-nitro-3-bromo-5-X-thiophenes

1970

The kinetics of the reaction of a series of 2-nitro-3-bromo-5-X-thiophenes with sodium thiophenoxide in methanol were determined. The plot of log k against σ-values gave ρ-value + 4.51 at 20°. Good correlation was observed pointing out the validity of the Hammett relationship for reactions occurring directly on the thiophene ring at the β-position with respect to the heteroatom.

Mononuclear isoheterocyclic rearrangements. Note I. Interconversion of 3-benzoylamino-5-methyl-1,2,4-oxadiazole and 3-acetylamino-5-phenyl-1,2,4-oxad…

1975

The first example of mononuclear isoheterocyclic rearrangement is reported. The 3-benzoylamino-5-methyl-1,2,4-oxadiazole (5) furnishes through a reversible process (slowly at room temperature in methanol, acetone or dioxane, fast in DMSO or in methanol in the presence of strong bases) a mixture of 5 and 3-acethylamino-5-phenyl-1,2,4-oxadiazole (6). The equilibrium process can be achieved also by heating 5 at 181° and the same reaction mixture can be obtained using 6 as the starting material. 3-Trichloroacetylamino-5-methyl-1,2,4-oxadiazole (7) was unaffected by similar treatment. The results obtained are discussed.

Host−Guest Interactions between β-Cyclodextrin and the (Z)-Phenylhydrazone of 3-Benzoyl-5-phenyl-1,2,4-oxadiazole:  The First Kinetic Study of a Ring…

2002

The effect of beta-cyclodextrin (beta-CD) on the mononuclear heterocyclic rearrangement of the (Z)-phenylhydrazone of 3-benzoyl-5-phenyl-1,2,4-oxadiazole (1) in aqueous borate buffer at pH = 9.6 has been analyzed at temperatures ranging from 293.15 to 313.15 K. The trend of the absorption spectra of 1 as a function of time has been accounted for with the formation of two different 1:1 complexes between beta-CD and 1, the first, "unreactive" complex being formed faster than the "reactive" one. The occurrence of negative activation enthalpy values for the studied interconversion evidences the kinetic relevance of inclusion processes. Computational models elaborated using the MM2 molecular mec…

1993

Abstract The mutagenic activity of 23 5-nitro-3-thiophenecarboxanilides and of 5-nitro-3-thiophenecarboxamide, the prototype, (NTCAs) have been evaluated in the Ames test on Salmonella typhimurium strains TA100 ad TA98 with and without metabolic activation. Effects of different substituents (electron-donating and electron-withdrawing) were studied to evaluate structural features that affect the metabolism and the bacterial mutagenic potency. All the derivatives were direct-acting mutagens, the mutagenic potency ranging from 0.7 to 142 revertants (rev.)/nmol in TA100 and from 0.09 to 68 rev./nmol in TA98 strain. Results obtained with strains TA98NR and TA98/1,8-DNP 6 indicated that the mutag…

Breakthrough in the α-Perchlorination of Acyl Chlorides

2012

The preparation of -perchloroacyl chlorides, from reaction of the corresponding unfunctionalized acyl halides with chlorine, was efficiently achieved under base-catalysis, using a tetraalkylammonium chloride as catalyst. The process is solvent-free and the procedure is easy, inexpensive, and suitable for scale-up.

Unexpected Substituent Effects in the Iso-Heterocyclic Boulton-Katritzky Rearrangement of 3-Aroylamino-5-methyl-1,2,4-oxadiazoles: A Mechanistic Stud…

2019

The kinetics of the iso-heterocyclic mononuclear rearrangement of some 3-aroylamino-5-methyl-1,2,4-ozadiazoles was carefully examined under largely variable acidic or alkaline conditions. This reaction may proceed via two different mechanistic pathways (an uncatalyzed and a base-catalyzed one), as accounted for also by the evaluation of the relevant activation parameters. Substituent effects, as quantified by means of the Hammett’s equation, appear relatively modest; however, they reveal some interesting anomalies, which enabled us to draw a very precise picture of the intimate reaction course.

A deep insight into the mechanism of the acid-catalyzed rearrangement of the Z-phenylhydrazone of 5-amino-3-benzoyl-1,2,4-oxadiazole in a non-polar s…

2010

The conversion of the Z-phenylhydrazone of 5-amino-3-benzoyl-1,2,4-oxadiazole (1a) into the relevant 1,2,3-triazole (2a) has been quantitatively studied in toluene in the presence of several halogenoacetic acids (HAAs, 3a–h). Again, the occurrence of two reaction pathways has been pointed out: they require one or two moles of acid, respectively, thus repeating the situation previously observed in the presence of trichloroacetic acid. The observed rate constant ratios (kIII/kII) are only slightly affected by the nature of the acid used. To gain a deeper insight into the action of the acids used we have measured the association constants of the HAAs (3a–h) with 4-nitroaniline (4) in toluene. …

Mononuclear heterocyclic rearrangements—vi

1974

Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the mononuclear heterocyclic rearrangements. The chapter discusses the ring conversion of type 1→2 characterized by nucleophilic attack from a Z atom on a sp 2 -nitrogen atom with displacement of an atom. On this basis, the known ring conversions are tabulated. Taking into account the reactivities observed in the rearrangements, results are presented for 1,2,4-oxadiazole, isoxazole, and 1,2,5-oxadiazole. The sequence involving an oxime group in the side chain is discussed. The chapter presents several attempts for inducing rearrangements in which the reaction center of the starting ring is an atom other than nitrogen. Rearrangement of arylhydrazones …

An analysis of the 1H, 13C, and 15N NMR substituent chemical shifts (SCSs) of the title compounds in CDCl3 solution has been carried out by using the SCSs of other classes of compounds (arenes, methyl esters or amides), Hammett substituent constants or kinetic data. The results obtained provide information concerning the ground-state electronic distribution of the compounds examined. The results relevant to the carbon and nitrogen atoms of the 1,2,4-oxadiazole ring can be considered of special interest, as the effects of the substit- Introduction For several years our research group has been involved in the use of NMR spectroscopic data (1H, 13C, 15N, and 17O) to obtain information about th…

Nitrogen-15 NMR Studies on Hydrazines. 2— Substituent Effect Analysis inortho-Substituted Phenylhydrazines and Anilines

1996

15N and 13C NMR spectra of some ortho-substituted phenylhydrazines were measured at natural isotope abundance in DMSO-d6 solutions. The substituent present exerts a larger effect on the chemical shift of the nitrogen atom directly bound to the aromatic ring (N-1), the second one (N-2) showing an attenuated trend of similar sign. Contrary to what observed for para and meta isomers, the cross-correlation between N-1 and N-2 SCS values of ortho-substituted phenylhydrazines is not satisfactory; on the other hand, N-1 SCSs show a reasonably good linear regression with the σR− constants. As expected, no correlation was found between N-1 and C-1 or H-1 SCS values. Correlations between 13C and 15N …

Linear free energyortho-correlations in the thiophene series. Part IX . Kinetics of esterification with diazodiphenylmethane of some 3-, 4-, and 5-su…

1981

The rate constants for the esterification of some 3-, 4-, and 5-substituted thiophene-2-carboxylic acids with diazodiphenylmethane in methanol at 25° have been measured. The reactivity of some para- and ortho-substituted benzoic acids has also been determined. Logarithmic kinetic constants for ortho-, meta-, and para-like substituted thiophene-2-carboxylic acids furnish an excellent linear free energy relationship when plotted versus Δpka (β 0.89, r 0.989, C.L. > 99.9%, n 18, i 0.04), thus confirming the peculiar behaviour of five-membered ring derivatives. The correlation with σH values offers an additional proof of the hyper-ortho character of the 2,3-relation in thiophene derivatives. pa…

ChemInform Abstract: Ru(bpy)2Cl2: A Catalyst Able to Shift the Course of the Photorearrangement in the Boulton-Katritzky Reaction.

2016

Abstract The Boulton–Katritzky reaction represents one of the most popular and efficient strategies used to realize azole-into-azole conversions. For example, under different experimental conditions, it allows the rearrangement of Z-arylhydrazones of 3-benzoyl-5-phenyl-1,2,4-oxadiazoles (1) into 2-aryl-4-benzoylamino-5-phenyl-2H-1,2,3-triazoles (2) in very high yields. Moreover, we have recently realized this conversion also by UV-photostimulation. Now we have enlarged the scope of the reaction irradiating with visible or UV light an acetonitrile solution of some Z-arylhydrazones (1a–e) in the presence of catalytic amounts of Ru(bpy)2Cl2. We have observed the unexpected formation of the 1-a…

Substituent effects on the gas-phase basicities of4-x-acetophanes and 4-x-2,6-dimethylacetophenones: a comparison with solution basicities

1997

Abstract The behaviour towards gas-phase protonation of a series of 2,6-dimethyl-4-X-acetophenones DM1 exhibits strong similarities with that of the corresponding 4-X-acetophenones 1 . A comparison with previous basicity data in solution and AM1 semiempirical calculations suggest that the X-dependent rotation of the probe group out of the plane of the aromatic ring caused by the two ortho methyls is of minor importance in influencing the substituent effect on the gas-phase basicity of DM1 ; on the contrary, it could heavily affect the solvatability and thus be responsible for the observed behaviour of DM1 in strongly acidic media.

On the reactivity of nitrosoimidazoles with acids (the Cusmano–Ruccia reaction): a continuous source of new ring-into-ring interconversion

2014

Abstract An extension of the ‘Cusmano–Ruccia’ reaction is reported. 6-(4-chlorophenyl)-3-methyl-5-nitrosoimidazo[2,1- b ]oxazole by the action of hydrochloric acid gives 3-(4-chlorobenzoyl)-5-methyl-1,2,4-oxadiazole ( 13 ); presumably via ammonium ion, CO 2 and methanol elimination. The relevance of the nature of the atom of the B -ring linked to C-2 of the imidazole for the occurrence of the ring-into-ring interconversion has been once more confirmed.

Fluorinated Heterocyclic Compounds. An Expedient Route to 5-Perfluoroalkyl-1,2,4-triazoles via an Unusual Hydrazinolysis of 5-Perfluoroalkyl-1,2,4-ox…

2003

The hydrazinolysis reaction of 5-perfluoroalkyl-1,2,4-oxadiazoles has been investigated. Nucleophilic addition of the reagent to the C(5)-N(4) double bond of the oxadiazole ring, followed by ring-opening and then ring-closure involving the beta-nitrogen atom of the hydrazino moiety and the C(3) of the oxadiazole ring, explains the formation of 5-perfluoroalkyl-1,2,4-triazoles as final products. Useful applications in synthesis of this uncommon hydrazinolysis can be claimed.

2014

The kinetics of the ring-into-ring conversion of some new (Z)-phenylhydrazones of 3-benzoyl-1,2,4-oxadiazole containing different nitrogen-substituents at C-5 (3b–d; X = NHMe, NMe2, and NHCOMe) into the relevant triazoles 4b–d have been examined in a wide range of pS+ (0.1–11.9) in 1:1 (v/v) dioxane/water solution. The obtained results have been compared with previous data concerning the (Z)-phenylhydrazone of 5-amino-3-benzoyl-1,2,4-oxadiazole (3a; X = NH2). All of the studied (Z)-phenylhydrazones rearrange through three different pathways (specific acid-catalysed, uncatalysed and general base-catalysed). The different effects of the substituents on the course of the rearrangement in the t…

The azide/tetrazole equilibrium: an investigation in the series of furo- and thieno[2,3-e]tetrazolo[3,2-d]pyrimidine derivatives

2016

Abstract Starting from 7(8)-chlorofuro(thieno)[3,2- d ]pyrimidines 1 , the corresponding 7(8)-hydrazinofuro(thieno)[3,2- d ]pyrimidines 2 were obtained by reaction with hydrazine. By treatment with nitrous acid, compounds 2 gave fused furo- and thieno[2,3- e ]tetrazolo[1,5- c ]pyrimidines 3 T and 4 T in excellent yields, which in solution exist in equilibrium with 7(8)-azidofuro(thieno)[3,2- d ]pyrimidines 3 A and 4 A . Compounds 3 T / 3 A and 4 T / 4 A represent useful substrates for investigating the azide/tetrazole equilibrium: it has been examined as a function of solvent, temperature, and their structure. We have observed that, in solution, in both 3 and 4 the equilibrium was strongly …

The behaviour of 2-nitrothiophene and of 3-nitrothiophene with some nucleophiles

1975

The reactivity of 2-nitrothiophene (1) and of 3-nitrothiophene (II) with some nucleophiles has been studied. According to calculated electronic densities I can receive nucleophilic attack at C3 and C5 depending on the nucleophile used, but II only at C2. With N-lithium piperidine both I and II also give coupling products (VII and XI respectively) of the hithienyl type.
