Hydroxy-, derivatives reactions

The avermectins also possess a number of aUyflc positions that are susceptible to oxidative modification. In particular the 8a-methylene group, which is both aUyflc and alpha to an ether oxygen, is susceptible to radical oxidation. The primary product is the 8a-hydroperoxide, which has been isolated occasionally as an impurity of an avermectin B reaction (such as the catalytic hydrogenation of avermectin B with Wilkinson s rhodium chloride-triphenylphosphine catalyst to obtain ivermectin). An 8a-hydroxy derivative can also be detected occasionally as a metaboUte (42) or as an impurity arising presumably by air oxidation. An 8a-oxo-derivative can be obtained by oxidizing 5-0-protected avermectins with pyridinium dichromate (43). This also can arise by treating the 8a-hydroperoxide with base. 

Oxidation of thiophene with peracid under carefully controlled conditions gives a mixture of thiophene sulfoxide and 2-hydroxythiophene sulfoxide. These compounds are trapped by addition to benzoquinone to give ultimately naphthoquinone (225) and its 5-hydroxy derivative (226) (76ACS(B)353). The further oxidation of the sulfoxide yields the sulfone, which may function as a diene or dienophile in the Diels-Alder reaction (Scheme 88). An azulene synthesis involves the addition of 6-(A,A-dimethylamino)fulvene (227) to a thiophene sulfone (77TL639, 77JA4199). 

Acylation of 3-alkyl-6-hydroxy-l,2-benzisoxazole has also been reported (77JIC875) under Friedel-Crafts conditions to give the 7-acyl product. Fries rearrangement of 6-acetoxy-3-methyl-1,2-benzisoxazole in the presence of AICI3 at 140 °C also provides a route to the 7-acetyl-6-hydroxy derivatives (73UC541). Reactions of these kind are rare in this series. 

SnCl2 reduction produced the 4-hydrazinoisoxazole (243). In ethanol the diazonium salt reacted with the 4-aminoisoxazole to produce the linear triazine (244) (Scheme 85). Diazoisoxazoles can also be treated with KI or H20/urea to produce the 4-iodo or 4-hydroxy derivatives (63AHC(2)365). These Sandmeyer reactions have been extended to a variety of isoxazole systems (77JMC934, 63AHC(2)365). 

The procedure was largely ignored until the 1950s when interest in melanin-related substances and recognition of serotonin as a 5-hydroxy derivative stimulated exploration of the scope of the reaction. Nowadays, the Nenitzescu reaction is one of the most efficient processes for the preparation of 5-hydroxyindoles. 

The Bobbitt modification is the most widely used variation of the Pomeranz-Fritsch reaction. This modification involves cyclisation of benzylaminoacetal 10, usually prepared from the classical Pomeranz-Fritsch imine 9, to yield 4-hydroxy derivatives 11. The success of this method can be attributed to avoiding treatment and thus (partial) destruction of imine 10 under strongly acidic conditions. 

Direct bromination readily yields the 6-bromo derivative (111), just as with uracil. Analogous chlorination and iodination requires the presence of alkalies and even then proceeds in low yield. The 6-chloro derivative (113) was also obtained by partial hydrolysis of the postulated 3,5,6-trichloro-l,2,4-triazine (e.g.. Section II,B,6). The 6-bromo derivative (5-bromo-6-azauracil) served as the starting substance for several other derivatives. It was converted to the amino derivative (114) by ammonium acetate which, by means of sodium nitrite in hydrochloric acid, yielded a mixture of 6-chloro and 6-hydroxy derivatives. A modified Schiemann reaction was not suitable for preparing the 6-fluoro derivative. The 6-hydroxy derivative (115) (an isomer of cyanuric acid and the most acidic substance of this group, pKa — 2.95) was more conveniently prepared by alkaline hydrolysis of the 6-amino derivative. Further the bromo derivative was reacted with ethanolamine to prepare the 6-(2-hydroxyethyl) derivative however, this could not be converted to the corresponding 2-chloroethyl derivative. Similarly, the dimethylamino, morpholino, and hydrazino derivatives were prepared from the 6-bromo com-pound. ... 

The mechanism of cyclization of diaminopyrimidines by nitrous acid appears not to have been studied in detail. For the preparative procedure an aqueous solution of alkaline nitrite is treated with the diaminopyrimidine either in the form of a salt or with simultaneous addition of hydrochloric or acetic acid. The first phase of the reaction is usually carried out at 0°C, in some cases the reaction being terminated by heating to 50-60°C. With diaminopyrimidines which are sparingly soluble in water, the reaction was carried out in an organic solvent using amylnitrite. Excess nitrous acid can possibly attack the amino groups present. This was employed in some cases for the preparation of the hydroxy derivatives. ... 

Reversible covalent hydration across C=N bonds occurs in a number of nitrogen-containing heterocycles, including pteridine and its 2- and 6-hydroxy derivatives, quinazoline (as the cation), and 1,4,6-triazanaphthalene (as the cation). Among bases giving this reaction, the neutral molecule exists predominantly as the anhydrous form, whereas the cation contains an increased proportion of the... 

The reaction of nitrofurazans with bases yields hydroxy derivatives or difur-azanyl ethers, depending on the nature of the substrate, the base, and the solvent. Thus, hydroxyfurazans are readily obtained by the alkaline hydrolysis of monon-itro derivatives (Scheme 139). Treatment of dinitrofurazans with an excess of the reagent gave the corresponding dihydroxyfurazans in good yields (99ZOR1555). 

The intramolecular cyclization of 2-alkynylaryldiazonium salts (Richter reaction) leads not only to 4-hydroxy- but also to 4-bromo- and 4-chlorocinnolines. The behavior of alkynylpyrazolediazonium chlorides differs from that of their benzene analogs. The Richter reaction of the series of alkynylaminopyrazoles gives only 4-halo derivatives of l//-pyrazolo[3,4-c]pyridazines and l//-pyrazolo[4,3-c] pyridazines, and mainly hydroxy derivatives of 2//-pyrazolo[3,4-c]pyridazines. 

Latentiation of ampicillin can also be achieved by tying up the proximate amino and amide functions as an acetone aminal. Inclusion of acetone in the reaction mixture allows 6-APA to be condensed directly with the acid chloride from 24. There is thus obtained directly the prodrug hetacillin (34). Although this compound has little antibiotic activity in its own right, it hydrolyzes to ampicillin in the body. The p-hydroxy derivative amoxycillin (35) shows somewhat better oral activity. A similar sequence using formaldehyde gives metampicillin (36). °... 

Interposition of a methylene group between the phenyl ring and the heterocycle leads to the benzyldiami nopyrimidines, a class of compounds notable for their antibacterial activity. Condensation of hydrocinnamate 54 with ethyl formate leads to the hydroxymethylene derivative 55. In this case, too, the heterocyclic ring is formed by reaction with guanidine. This sequence probably involves initial addition-elimination to the forniyl carbon to form 56 cyclization in this case involves simple amide formation. Tautomerization then affords the hydroxy derivative 57. This is converted to tetroxoprim (58) by first... 

Thus, in contrast to benzothiepins, dibenzo compounds can be synthesized by direct acid-catalyzed elimination of water from hydroxy derivatives, or of amines from amino derivatives, at elevated temperatures due to their thermal stability. As in the case of benzothiepins, dibenzo derivatives can also be prepared by base-catalyzed elimination from the corresponding halo derivatives however, the yields are somewhat lower compared to the acid-catalyzed reactions. As a special case, an aziridine derivative was deaminated by palladium-catalyzed hydrogenation to afford the corresponding dibenzothiepin.69... 

The final transformation of 15 to 16 was found to exhibit a significant dependence on substituents. 2//-Thiopyran 16a arose spontaneously in 32% yield, while 53% of 16b was obtained together with 41% of its precursor 15b. No formation of thiopyrans 16c and 16d was observed in the case of less substituted hydroxy derivatives 15c and 15d (90BSF446). The preparation of 3-acyl-2//-thiopyrans 17 was reported to be stimulated by dicyclohexylamine (90ZC247). More extensive substituent patterns as well as the use of aqueous NaOH in similar reactions were described (86GEP234674 875456). 

Chloro-4//-l,2,4-benzothiadiazine 1,1-dioxides have been made from the oxo or hydroxy derivatives [90AHC(50)256 91CHE343]. Reaction of 27/-1,2,4-benzothiadiazine 1-oxides (106) with chlorine formed the S-chloro products [90AHC(50)256]. 

The 4-oxy derivatives of pyrimido[4,5-rf]pyrimidines (217) were readily chlorinated by the usual reagents (62JOC4211 74JMC451). Hydroxy derivatives of the [5,4-rf] isomer (218) reacted similarly. The 2,4,8-tri- and 2,4,6,8-tetra-chloro derivatives were accessible in this way, and subsequent reaction of these with iodide gave iodochloro derivatives exchange at the 4- and 8-positions was faster than at C-2 and C-6 [60LA(631)147 66JMC610]. 

The addition of the dianion of /j-sulfmylcarboxylic acids to carbonyl compounds leads to the formation of the corresponding hydroxy derivatives which undergo spontaneous eyclization to give y-lactones. It was found that when optically active ( + )-(/ )-3-(4-methylphenylsulfinyl)pro-panoic acid is used for the reaction, the corresponding diastereomeric /i-sulfinyl-y-lactones are formed in a ratio which is dependent on the substituents of the carbonyl component. However, the diastereoselectivity was always moderate. 

Ketones and carboxylic esters can be a hydroxylated by treatment of their enolate forms (prepared by adding the ketone or ester to LDA) with a molybdenum peroxide reagent (MoOs-pyridine-HMPA) in THF-hexane at -70°C. The enolate forms of amides and estersand the enamine derivatives of ketones can similarly be converted to their a hydroxy derivatives by reaction with molecular oxygen. The M0O5 method can also be applied to certain nitriles. Ketones have also been Qc hydroxylated by treating the corresponding silyl enol ethers with /n-chloroperoxy-... 

Keto dithioacetals were similarly transformed to non-racemic (3-hydroxy derivatives (e.g. Equation In general, the reaction rate and stereochemical... 

The results presented in Tables 3 and 4 deserve some comments. First, a variety of enzymes, including whole-cell preparations, proved suitable for the resolution of different hydroxyalkanephosphorus compounds, giving both unreacted substrates and the products of the enzymatic transformation in good yields and, in some cases, even with full stereoselectivity. Application of both methodologies, acylation of hydroxy substrates rac-41 and rac-43 or the reverse (hydrolysis of the acylated substrates rac-42 and rac-44), enables one to obtain each desired enantiomer of the product. This turned out to be particularly important in those cases when a chemical transformation OH OAc or reverse was difficult to perform. As an example, our work is shown in Scheme 3. In this case, chemical hydrolysis of the acetyl derivative 46 proved difficult due to some side reactions and therefore an enzymatic hydrolysis, using the same enzyme as that in the acylation reaction, was applied. Not only did this provide access to the desired hydroxy derivative 45 but it also allowed to improve its enantiomeric excess. In this way. 

Immobilized PLE was applied to promote stereoselective acetylation of prochiral bis(hydroxymethyl)methyl-phenylgermane 106 (R = Me) with vinyl acetate as a solvent and acyl donor. Later on, the same group reported that each enantiomer of hydridogermane monoacetates 107 (R = H) was obtained either via acetylation of the bis-hydroxy derivative 106 (R = H) or hydrolysis of the corresponding diacetate 108 (R = H). In both methods, porcine pancreatic lipase was used and, obviously, each reaction led to a different enantiomer of 107 (Equation 51). ...
