On the application of the extended Fujita-Nishioka equation to polysubstitued system. A kinetic study of the rearrangement of several poly-substitued Z-arylhydrazones of 3-benzoyl-5-phenyl-1,2,4-oxadiazole into 2-aryl-4-benzoylamino-5-phenyl-1,2,3-triazoles in dioxane/water
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…
Convergent results from experimental and theoretical DFT studies of the intramolecular rearrangement of Z-hydrazones of 3-acetyl-1,2,4-oxadiazoles
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…
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 between the results of ‘in-silicon chemistry’ and ‘laboratory chemistry’
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 External Bidentate Nucleophile
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…
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 and MS properties
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 …
On the use of multi-parameter free energy relationships: the rearrangement of (Z)-arylhydrazones of 5-amino-3-benzoyl-1,2,4-oxadiazole into (2-aryl-5-phenyl-2H-1,2,3-tryazol-4-yl)ureas
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…
