Abstract

:

Cyclization of hydrazones derived from 2-acetyl-1-naphthol and 1-acetyl-2-naphthol with triphosgene gave naphtho[1,2-e]-1,3-oxazines, naphtho[2,1-e]-1,3-oxazines or their spiro dimers depending on the molar ratio of triphosgene used for the cyclization.

Keywords:

2-acetyl-1-naphthol; 1-acetyl-2-naphthol; triphosgene; naphthoxazine, spiro naphthoxazine

Introduction

Triphosgene (bis(trichloromethyl)carbonate) has been repeatedly used in the literature for the construction of a variety of heterocyclic systems. It holds an advantage over other similar reagents, such as phosgene and diphosgene, of being a safe and easy to handle solid. Examples of important heterocyclic systems prepared using this reagent include benzothiadiazepines [1], quinazolines [2], diazolidines [3], imidiazolidines [4] and azetidines [5]. We have recently reported the use of triphosgene in the cyclization of hydrazones and Schiff bases of 2-hydroxy- and 2-aminoacetophenones to give 1,3-benzoxazines [6,7], spiro 1,3-benzoxazine dimmers [8], quinazolines and spiro quinazoline dimers [9].

We would like to report here results obtained from the cyclization of hydrazones of 2-acetyl-1-naphthol and 1-acetyl-2-naphthol with triphosgene.

Results and Discussion

Hydrazones of 2-acetyl-1-naphthol and 1-acetyl-2-naphthol were obtained in very good yields from the reaction of these compounds with aromatic hydrazines (Scheme 1, Table 1).

The hydrazones 1-8 show in the their IR spectra absorbances for the C=N group in the 1,614-1,636 cm^-1 range and for the OH and NH groups at about 3,400 cm^-1 and 3,350 cm^-1, respectively. The ¹H-NMR spectra of compounds 1-8 show in each case two distinct doublets which have been assigned to the H₃ and H₄ positions. In the spectra of 1-4 these two doublets appear at δ 7.04-7.16 and δ 7.68-7.76. The lower field signal in this case was assigned to H₃ as it is deshielded by the hydrazone moiety. In contrast, for compounds 5-8, where the two doublets appear at δ 6.80-6.90 and δ 7.63-7.66 the signal at the higher field was assigned to H₃ as in this case this position is shielded by the OH group. It is also worth mentioning here that in the ¹³C-NMR spectra of the above compounds, the methyl group of the hydrazones of the 2-acetyl derivatives 1-4 absorbs at higher fields (δ 12.22-13.04) than those of the 1-acetyl derivatives 5-8 (δ 18.29-18.55). The rest of the spectral data is shown in the Experimental section. Treatment of the hydrazones 1-8 with triphosgene gave the 4-methylenenaphthoxazines 9-16 or the spiro naphthoxazine dimers 17-20, depending on the molar ratio of triphosgene used in the cyclizations (Scheme 2 and Scheme 3, Table 2).

These results are in agreement with our previous reports on the reaction of hydrazones of 2-hydroxyacetophenones with triphosgene. It was observed then that the use of 0.5 equivalents of triphosgene gave the 4-methylene-1,3-benzoxazines, while the spiro 1,3-benzoxazine dimers were obtained when 1.0 equivalent of triphosgene was used [8]. The structures of those compounds were established based on X-ray crystal structure and spectroscopic studies [8,9]. As a result, we are showing here partial spectroscopic data for compounds 9-16 (Table 3 and Table 4) and 17-20 (Table 5). In these tables, signals that can be easily attributed to structurally related positions, and with significance to the elucidation of the structures of the new compounds are shown for matter of comparison, while the complete data is given in the experimental section.

*(C_12'c).

It can be seen from Table 3 that there is a noticeable difference in the ¹³C-NMR spectra of 17-19 compared with 20. In the latter compound the CH₃ group and position C_1` absorb at higher fields than those in 17-19, while positions C_2` and C_12`c absorb at lower fields than positions C_2' and C_12'b in 17-19. This might be speculated as a result of the orientation of the aromatic rings in respect to these positions, which needs further studies. In addition, the above results for compounds 17-19 are in close resemblance to these reported for the spiro 1,3-benzoxazine dimmers which might suggest that they have similar steric environment for the 1,3-benzoxazines [8].

The EIMS spectra of the spiro compounds 17-20 did not show the expected molecular ions. They appear to fragment at the spiro junction to give fragments at m/z = M⁺ - ArN₂CO and m/z = M⁺ ‑ ArN₂CO₂. For example, compound 18 shows in its EIMS spectra fragment peaks at m/z 505 and 489, arising from the loss of ClC₆H₄N₂CO and ClC₆H₄N₂CO₂, respectively. This type of fragmentation was previously observed with analogous spiro compounds [8,9].

Finally, it is worth mentioning here that although the formation of the 4-methylene-naphthoxazines 9-16 would be expected to proceed via a similar reaction mechanism to that previously reported for the cyclization of hydrazones of 2-hydroxyacetophenone and acetophenone [6,10], the mechanism for formation of the spiro naphthoxazine dimmers is not clear to us with regards to at what stage does the dimerization occurs to form the final spiro naphthoxazines.

Scheme 4. Proposed mechanism for the formation of the spiro compounds 17-20.

The use of 1.0 equivalents of triphosgene is necessary to form the latter products because in its reactions it gives an equivalent of three moles of phosgene (COCl₂), so the formation of naphthoxazines (where one CO group is introduced) would require only 0.5 equivalent of triphosgene (1.5 equivalent of COCl₂, a slight excess is usually used in these kinds of cyclizations) while the spiro dimers (where two CO groups are introduced) would require double this amount. In Scheme 4, a speculative mechanism for the formation of the spiro products is shown with two pathways; in the first one the dimerization occurs after the formation of the two naphthoxazine nuclei, while in the second one the dimerization takes place before the formation of the second naphthoxazine ring.
