The Effects of Ceric Ammonium Nitrate in the Oxidation of 2-Benzyl-1,4-dimethoxybenzene Derivatives
Molbank 2024, 2024(3), M1882; https://doi.org/10.3390/M1882 (registering DOI) - 16 Sep 2024

The one- or two-electron reduction in quinone compounds gives rise to semiquinones and hydroquinones, respectively, which, in turn, can be oxidized back to quinones, generating a cyclic redox system with the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). For these reasons, quinone derivatives participate in various biological processes in metabolic pathways, such as oxidative reactions and electron transport. In addition, natural quinone compounds as well as their semisynthetic and/or synthetically produced derivatives are of great pharmacological interest for the discovery and design of new drugs. As a result, their chemical reactivity as well as new methods for their synthesis are being investigated on an ongoing basis. Herein, a mild and efficient synthesis to obtain 2-(4-benzyl substituted)-1,4-dimethoxybenzene derivatives is reported. In addition, an evaluation of the effects on the quinone/diquinone ratio in the reaction product in relation to different ways of adding the oxidant CAN to the arene solution is discussed.

Molbank 2024, 2024(3), M1881; https://doi.org/10.3390/M1881 - 11 Sep 2024
Abstract
The reaction of 2-((diphenylmethylene)amino)acetonitrile with (E)-1-phenyl-3-(thiophen-2-yl)prop-2-en-1-one was performed by using 33% NaOH in CH3CN for 30 min at 0 °C. The main product—rel-(2R,3S)-2-((diphenylmethylene)amino)-5-oxo-5-phenyl-3-(thiophen-2-yl)pentanenitrile—was isolated and characterized by IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, 1H-1H COSY, and high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS).

Bromination of the 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) free radical with bromine or N-bromo-succinimide (NBS) affords a complex mixture of bromo- and nitro-derivatives of the starting material. In this study, by chromatographic separation, most of the reaction products were isolated. Suitable crystals for X-ray measurements were obtained and characterized for the compounds 2-p-bromophenyl-2-phenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl free radical (Br-DPPH), 2-p-bromophenyl-2-phenyl-1-picrylhydrazine (Br-DPPH-H), and 2,2-(p-bromophenyl)-1-(2-bromo-4,6-dinitrophenyl)hydrazine (Br2-DPPBr-H).

Abstract

The synthesis and characterization of two novel diastereomeric Mannich bases was carried out from the reaction of the cyclic aminal (2R,7R,11S,16S)-1,8,10,17-tetraazapentacyclo[8.8.1.1.8,170.2,70.11,16]icosane 1 and p-cresol 2a and 4-methoxyphenol 2b in a water/dioxane mixture. The title compounds (4a–b) are interesting because bearing two 3-(2-hydroxy-5-substitutedbenzyl)octahydro-1H-benzimidazol-1-yl]methyl} substituents joined to an arenol ring. The formation of these new Mannich bases in the reaction mixture can be explained by aminomethylation of previously reported di-Mannich base 2,2′-((hexahydro-1H-benzo[d]imidazole-1,3(2H)-diyl)bis(methylene))bis(4-substituentphenol) 3a–b. NMR analysis demonstrated that compounds 4a–b were formed as diastereomeric mixtures. Subsequent experiments revealed that at longer reaction times, the percentage yield of these new products increased considerably (yield percentages up to 22–27%), suggesting a nucleophilic competition between the p-substituted phenols and Mannich bases of type 3 for aminal 1.

The preferred regioselectivity for O-acylation of 3,4-dihydrocoumarin 5 in the presence of substituent in the 4th position in the chroman ring and accounting for the steric hindrance of the ester group in the 3rd place was confirmed.

A base catalyst is not necessary for synthesising thiazoles, but it can shorten the reaction time. The antimicrobial properties of all synthesized compounds were screened for multidrug-resistant microorganism strains. The minimum inhibitory concentration of the tested compounds against Gram-positive bacteria and fungi was higher than 256 μg/mL, but several compounds had activity against Gram-positive strains.

The analytical characterization of the product was performed via IR, 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, HRMS, and HPLC-UV. Due to the unsymmetrically disubstituted unsaturation, the obtained monoester of 1,4-benzodioxin-2,3-dicarboxylic acid is a building block of great potential in the synthesis of a variety of compounds containing the benzodioxin or benzodioxane scaffold.

A method for the simple preparation of 2-ethoxy-N-propylbenzo[e][1,2]oxaphosphinine-3-carboxamide 2-oxide via an ultrasound technique using catalytic amounts of CuI is reported. The formation of the amide could indicate the isomerization of the formed E-alkene intermediate to its Z-form, assisted by the sonication irradiation, and such transformation under the presented conditions has not been previously reported in the literature.

Bulk heterojunction solar cells are among the most promising organic solar cells (OSCs). One of the two important parts of OSCs are acceptors, and the development of the design and synthesis of non-fullerene acceptors involves an electron-deficient heterocyclic central core and anchor acceptor malonitrile derivatives of 3-methylene-2,3-dihydro-1H-inden-1-ones. In this communication, an intermediate for the synthesis of this compound, 1-(dicyanomethylene)-3-hydroxy-1H-indene-2-carboxylic acid, was prepared by the Perkin reaction of 2-(3-oxoisobenzofuran-1(3H)-ylidene)malononitrile with tert-butyl acetoacetate in the presence of acetic anhydride and triethylamine. The structure of the newly synthesized compound was established by means of elemental analysis, high-resolution mass spectrometry, 1H NMR, 13C NMR and IR spectroscopy, and mass spectrometry.

A new heterocyclic compound, 2-(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)-1-methylimidazo[1,5-a]quinolin-2-ium tetrafluoroborate 1 was obtained from its precursor, N-(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)-N-(quinolin-2-ylmethyl)acetamide 2, by POCl3-mediated cyclization. For the first time, tertiary acetamide 2, the precursor of 1, was synthesized by using commercially available starting materials. The structure of 1 was unquestionably confirmed by 1H, 13C, 2D-NMR, and IR spectroscopies and mass spectrometry. Its optical properties were also studied.

An organolithium reagent containing a 5,6-dihydro-1,4-dithiin moiety has been herein used as homologating agent to build up a fully protected divinylcarbinol by two different synthetic procedures, respectively, based on a step-by-step approach or a tandem process. The resulting molecule contains two double bonds masked by two dithiodimethylene bridges that can be stereoselectively removed to give a E,E- or Z,Z-configured divinylcarbinol. These products could then be conveniently functionalized, for example, with hydroxyl or amino functions, for the construction of the skeleton of more complex systems.

Synthesis of Tetrahydroberberine N,N-Derived O-Acetamides
by
Ivan Vasil’evich Nechepurenko, Nina Ivanovna Komarova and Nariman Faridovich Salakhutdinov
Molbank 2024, 2024(3), M1865; https://doi.org/10.3390/M1865 - 13 Aug 2024
Abstract
The reaction of berberine derivatives containing at the O-9 position N,N-disubstituted acetamide fragments with sodium borohydride in methanol at 0 °C leads to a mild reduction of the “C” cycle with the formation of corresponding tetrahydroberberine derivatives with moderate to good yields.

Molbank 2024, 2024(3), M1866; https://doi.org/10.3390/M1866 - 13 Aug 2024
Abstract
The title compound, (E)-5-(3-oxo-3-(3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl)prop-1-en-1-yl)benzo[d]oxazol-2(3H)-one, was synthesized by the acid- and base-catalyzed aldol condensation of 2-oxo-2,3-dihydrobenzo[d]oxazole-5-carbaldehyde and 3,4,5-trimethoxyacetophenone. The structure of the target compound was confirmed using 1H NMR, 13C NMR, HRMS, and elemental analysis.

The structure verification of 5′-oxospiro-(fluorene-9,4′-imidazolidine)-2′-thione by NMR is reported. Toward this aim, 2D NMR techniques including 1H-1H COSY, HMQC, and HMBC experiments were used to assist with the assignment of the 1H and 13C chemical shifts for the corresponding structure. The mutual interpretation of the 1D and 2D NMR spectra ensured a complete and accurate 1H and 13C NMR data assignment for 5′-oxospiro-(fluorene-9,4′-imidazolidine)-2′-thione.

In this study, we report the synthesis of 3-((2-(4-chloro-5-ethoxy-2-nitrophenoxy)acetamido)methyl)phenyl-dimethylcarbamate, designed on the basis of the structures of the commercial acetylcholinesterase inhibitor drug rivastigmine and a substituted aryloxyacetic acid, aiming at a multi-target approach to the therapy of Alzheimer’s disease. The hybrid was obtained thanks to a synthesized intermediate by-product. The compound was fully characterized by using 1H and 13C NMR, FT-IR and HRMS.
