Treatment of (−)-ethylmethylsulfonium phenacylid, (−)-1, in THF at room temperature with 15 equiv. of benzoic anhydride, acetic anhydride or 1 equiv. phenyl isocyanate produces the corresponding (−)-ethylmethylsulfonium diacylmethylids, (−)-5, (−)-6, and (−)-8. Treatment of (−)-1 with dimethyl sulfate in acetone gives (Z)-(+)-ethylmethyl-α-methoxy-β-styrylsulfonium methyl sulfate, (+)-10. Resolution of (±)-10 via its DBT salt and conversion to perchlorate gives the corresponding vinyl perchlorates (+)- and (−)-13. Under the resolution conditions the ketal perchlorates, (−)- and (+)-ethylmethyl-2,2-dimethoxy-2-phenylethylsulfonium perchlorate, (−)- and (+)-14, are also obtained. The rates of racemization at 50° in benzene of 1, 5, 6, and 8 are 39.7, 55.5, 106, and 79.1 × 10−5 s−1 respectively. The rates of racemization at 50° in methanol of 10, 13, and 14 are 1.93, 2.08, and 5.64 × 10−5 s−1. Racemization is proposed to proceed via pyramidal inversion. The synthetic potential of chiral sulfonium ylids is discussed with respect to their ease of racemization.

At room temperature 1,4-diphenyl-1,2,3-triazolyllithium rapidly undergoes fragmentation to nitrogen and lithium (N-phenyl)phenylketenimine anion 8c, [Formula: see text]. Some of the reactions of this ambident anion have been studied. Reaction of 8c with methyl iodide results in C-methylation to a mixture of (N-phenyl)methylphenylketenimine and 3-methyl-1,3-diphenyl-4-(2′-phenylethylene)-2-phenyliminoazetidine. A six-membered heterocyclic compound, 6-anilino-1,3,5-triphenyluracil, results from the reaction between 8c and phenyl isocyanate. With dimethyl sulfate and methyl chloroformate N-alkylation and N-acylation takes place predominantly, forming N-methyl-N-phenyl-2-phenylethynylamine and N-carbomethoxy-N-phenyl-2-phenylethynylamine respectively. Reaction of 8c with methanol and ethanethiol gives an iminoester and an iminothioester respectively.1-Phenyl-1,2,3-triazolyllithium and 4-methyl-1-phenyl-1,2,3-triazolyllithium undergo fragmentation at somewhat higher temperatures.

Background: Urea, thiourea, and 1,2,4-oxadiazole compounds are of great interest due to their different activities such as anti-inflammatory, antiviral, analgesic, fungicidal, herbicidal, diuretic, antihelminthic and antitumor along with antimicrobial activities. Objective: In this work, we provide a new series of potential biologically active compounds containing both 1,2,4-oxadiazole and urea/thiouprea moiety. Materials and Methods: Firstly, 5-chloromethyl-3-aryl-1,2,4-oxadiazoles (3a-j) were synthesized from the reaction of different substituted amidoximes (2a-j) and chloroacetyl chloride in the presence of pyridine by conventional and microwave-assisted methods. In the conventional method, 1,2,4-oxadiazoles were obtained in two steps. O-acylamidoximes obtained in the first step at room temperature were heated in toluene for an average of one hour to obtain 1,2,4-oxadiazoles. The yields varied from 70 to 96 %. 1,2,4-oxadiazoles were obtained under microwave irradiation in a single step in a 90-98 % yield at 160 °C in five minutes. 5-aminomethyl-3-aryl-1,2,4- oxadiazoles (5a-j) were obtained by Gabriel amine synthesis in two steps from corresponding 5-chloromethyl-3- aryl-1,2,4-oxadiazoles. Finally, twenty new urea (6a-j) and thiourea (7a-j) compounds bearing oxadiazole ring were synthesized by reacting 5-aminomethyl-3-aryl-1,2,4-oxadiazoles with phenyl isocyanate and isothiocyanate in tetrahydrofuran (THF) at room temperature with average yields (40-70%). Results and Discussions: An efficient and rapid method for the synthesis of 1,2,4-oxadiazoles from the reaction of amidoximes and acyl halides without using any coupling reagent under microwave irradiation has been developed, and twenty new urea/thiourea compounds bearing 1,2,4-oxadiazole ring have been synthesized and characterized. Conclusion: We have synthesized a new series of urea/thiourea derivatives bearing 1,2,4-oxadiazole ring. Also facile synthesis of 3,5-disubstituted 1,2,4-oxadiazoles from amidoximes and acyl chlorides under microwave irradiation was reported. The compounds were characterized using FTIR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and elemental analysis techniques.

Abstract By 1H NMR spectroscopy the stereochemistry of the 1-methyl-1-benzothiepinium ring system was investigated both in thermodynamic and kinetic respects. It was shown that in solution a rapid mutual conversion of the boat shaped seven membered ring system with exo-respectively endo-S-methyl group occurs via a ring inversion and not by a pyramidal inversion at the sulfonium ion. At room temperature predominantly the conformation with the exo-S-methyl group is present.

An efficient route to acylated acyclic nucleosides containing a branched hemiaminal ether moiety is reported via three-component alkylation of N-heterocycle (purine nucleobase) with acetal (cyclic or acyclic, variously branched) and anhydride (preferentially acetic anhydride). The procedure employs cheap and easily available acetals, acetic anhydride, and trimethylsilyl trifluoromethanesulfonate (TMSOTf). The multi-component reaction is carried out in acetonitrile at room temperature for 15 min and provides moderate to high yields (up to 88%) of diverse acyclonucleosides branched at the aliphatic side chain. The procedure exhibits a broad substrate scope of N-heterocycles and acetals, and, in the case of purine derivatives, also excellent regioselectivity, giving almost exclusively N-9 isomers.

Among the five hydroxy (OH) groups of quercetin (3,5,7,3',4'-pentahydroxyflavone), the OH group at 5 position is the most resistant to methylation due to its strong intramolecular hydrogen bonding with the carbonyl group at 4 position. Thus, it is generally difficult to synthesize the pentamethyl ether efficiently by conventional methylation. Here, we describe a simple and effective per-O-methylation of quercetin with dimethyl sulfate in potassium (or sodium) hydroxide/dimethyl sulfoxide at room temperature for about 2 hours, affording quercetin pentamethyl ether (QPE) quantitatively as a single product. When methyl iodide was used in place of dimethyl sulfate, the C-methylation product 6-methylquercetin pentamethyl ether was also formed. A computational study provided a rationale for the experimental results.

The trimethylsilyl group on the 6-position of methyl 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-trimethylsilyl-α-D-glucopyranoside is preferentially removed by methanolysis, using basic or acidic catalysts, giving methyl 2,3,4-tri-O-trimethylsilyl-α-D-glucopyranoside in high yield (>80%). Reaction of the latter with acetic anhydride, benzoyl chloride, or phenyl isocyanate produces the corresponding 6-substituted derivatives in quantitative yield. The trimethylsilyl residues from the latter compounds are hydrolyzed by 50% aqueous methanol with the concomitant formation of 6-O-acetyl, 6-O-benzoyl, or 6-carbanilate derivatives of methyl α-D-glucopyranoside in excellent yield. Chemical and proton magnetic resonance (p.m.r.) studies established the structure of methyl 2,3,4-tri-O-trimethylsilyl-α-D-glucopyranoside, and of subsequent derivatives prepared from this compound. Infrared and p.m.r. evidence is offered to support conclusions regarding the conformation of the groups or atoms attached to C6 and C5 of the glucoside residue in some of these compounds.

2,4-Dichloroquinoline-3-carbonitrile (1) with phenylhydrazine in DMF at room temperature gave the 3-amino-4-chloro-1-phenylpyrazolo[4,3- c]quinoline (2). Reaction of 2 with phenyl isothiocyanate afforded the novel fused tetracyclic ring system 1,5-diphenyl-1,5-dihydro-1,2,3,5,6-pentaazaaceanthrylene-4(3 H)-thione (7). Refluxing 2 with excess of a primary amines 8a-d in boiling DMF yielded the corresponding aminopyrazolo[4,3- c]quinolines 9a-d which react with an excess of triethyl orthoformate to furnish 5-substituted 1-phenyl-1,2,3,5,6-pentaaza-aceanthrylenes 11a-d. Reacting 9a with acetic anhydride does not give the expected tetracyclic compound 12, but instead the acetamide 13 is obtained. With triethyl orthoacetate the corresponding iminoester 14 is formed. When compound 14 was refluxed in DMF containing NaH it cyclised to the 4-methyl analogue 12.

cis and trans isomers of 1,4-dimethyl-4-nitro-1,4-dihydro-1-naphthyl acetate (1) have been isolated from a mixture of 1,4-dimethylnaphthalene and nitric acid in acetic anhydride by quenching at −40°. At room temperature only 1-methyl-4-nitromethylnaphthalene (4) is obtained. The conversion of 1,4-dimethylnaphthalene to 4 and of the cis (1a) and trans (1b) adducts to 4, by nitric acid in acetic anhydride, has been followed by n.m.r. 1,4-Dimethyl-4-nitro-1,4-dihydro-1-naphthyl nitrate (5) appears to be the immediate product from nitration of 1,4-dimethylnaphthalene in acetic anhydride, methylene chloride, or nitromethane. In acetic anhydride 5 is converted into 1. Decomposition of 1 in acetic acid gives 1,4-dimethyl-2-naphthyl acetate and some 4. The formation of 4 in this reaction is suppressed by urea.
