Nitro acylation

The scope of this reaction appeared to be limited to dialkylamides and electron-neutral aryl halides. For example, nitro-, acyl-, methoxy-, and dimethylamino-substituted aryl halides gave poor yields upon palladium-catalyzed reaction with tributyltin diethylamide. Further, aryl bromides were the only aryl halides to give any reaction product. Vinyl bromides gave modest yields of enamines in some cases. Only unhindered dialkyl tin amides gave substantial amounts of amination product. The mechanism did not appear to involve radicals or benzyne intermediates.

Cydopentane reagents used in synthesis are usually derived from cyclopentanone (R.A. Ellison, 1973). Classically they are made by base-catalyzed intramolecular aldol or ester condensations (see also p. 55). An important example is 2-methylcydopentane-l,3-dione. It is synthesized by intramolecular acylation of diethyl propionylsucdnate dianion followed by saponification and decarboxylation. This cyclization only worked with potassium t-butoxide in boiling xylene (R. Bucourt, 1965). Faster routes to this diketone start with succinic acid or its anhydride. A Friedel-Crafts acylation with 2-acetoxy-2-butene in nitrobenzene or with pro-pionyl chloride in nitromethane leads to acylated adducts, which are deacylated in aqueous acids (V.J. Grenda, 1967 L.E. Schick, 1969). A new promising route to substituted cyclopent-2-enones makes use of intermediate 5-nitro-l,3-diones (D. Seebach, 1977). 

These acylating agents are the most commonly used (246). Acid chlorides react with 5-nitro-2-aminothiazoIe (88) despite the deactivating effect of the nitro group (Scheme 61) (247), but more vigorous conditions are required (248).

Neither Friedel-Crafts acylation nor alkylation reactions can be earned out on mtroben zene The presence of a strongly deactivating substituent such as a nitro group on an aromatic ring so depresses its reactivity that Friedel-Crafts reactions do not take place Nitrobenzene is so unreactive that it is sometimes used as a solvent m Friedel-Crafts reactions The practical limit for Friedel-Crafts alkylation and acylation reactions is effectively a monohalobenzene An aromatic ring more deactivated than a mono halobenzene cannot be alkylated or acylated under Friedel-Crafts conditions... 

Important analogs of aniline include the toluidines, xyUdines, anisidines, phenetidines, and its chloro-, nitro-. A/-acetyl. A/-alkyl. A/-aryl. A/-acyl, and sulfonic acid derivatives. 

The resulting acetyl compound is usually hydrolyzed with aqueous alkaU to give the free amine. Other A/-acyl derivatives may be used, particularly for the less soluble succinyl and phthaloyl products. The use of -nitrobenzenesulfonyl chloride, followed by reduction of the nitro to an amino function, is much more expensive and is rarely used. A/-Acetylsulfanilyl chloride [121 -60-8] is obtained by the chlorosulfonation of acetanilide [103-84-4] which is the basic material for most of the sulfonamides. 

When large groups, such as phenyl, bromo, ethoxycarbonyl or nitro are attached at position 3, the principal products are l-alkylcinnolin-4(l/f)-ones. Cyanoethylation and acetylation of cinnolin-4(l/f)-one takes place exclusively at N-1. Phthalazin-l(2/f)-ones give 2-substituted derivatives on alkylation and acylation. Alkylation of 4-hydroxyphthala2in-l(2/f)-one with an equimolar amount of primary halide in the presence of a base leads to 2-alkyl-4-hydroxyphthalazin-l(2/f)-one and further alkylation results in the formation of 4-alkoxy-2-alkylphthalazinone. Methylation of 4-hydroxy-2-methyl-phthalazinone with dimethyl sulfate in aqueous alkali gives a mixture of 4-methoxy-2-methylphthalazin-l(2/f)-one and 2,3-dimethylphthalazine-l,4(2//,3//)-dione, whereas methylation of 4-methoxyphthalazin-l(2/f)-one under similar conditions affords only 4-methoxy-2-methylphthalazinone. 

Acylindazoles are good acylating agents, particularly the 2-acetyl-7-nitro derivative (131). The acetylation of pyrazole by this compound proceeds quickly in chloroform and more slowly (about 15 min) in DMSO (66BSF3041).
