Phthalazines nucleophilic substitution

Quinoxalinyl, 4-cinnolinyl, and 1-phthalazinyl derivatives, which are all activated by a combination of induction and resonance, have very similar kinetic characteristics (Table XV, p. 352) in ethoxylation and piperidination, but 2-chloroquinoxaline is stated (no data) to be more slowly phenoxylated. In nucleophilic substitution of methoxy groups with ethoxy or isopropoxy groups, the quinoxaline compound is less reactive than the cinnoline and phthalazine derivatives and more reactive than the quinoline and isoquinoline analogs. 2-Chloroquinoxaline is more reactive than its monocyclic analog, 2-chloropyrazine, with thiourea or with piperidine (Scheme VI, p. 350). 

In a synthesis of nucleoside analogs, the sodium salts of phthalazine-l,4-dione, phthalazin-l(2//)-one, and two pyridazin-3(2//)-ones, prepared with sodium hydride in DMF, were alkylated with ( )-2,3-0-isopropylidene-l-0-(4-toluenesulfonyl)glycerol by a nucleophilic substitution of the tosyloxy group <1999AP327>. 

Although the most commonly used reactive systems involve the halotriazine and sulfa-toethyl sulfone (vinyl sulfone) groups, halo-genated pyrimidines, phthalazines, and quinoxalines are also available (Fig. 13.14). For all of these systems, alkali is used to facilitate dye-fiber fixation, and fixation occurs either by nucleophilic substitution or addition (Figs. 13.15-13.16). 

As seen with pyridazines, palladium catalyzed coupling reactions were also frequently applied in the phthalazine field. For example, commercially available 1,4-dichlorophthalazine 185 was aminated to give 186 in good yield by aromatic nucleophilic substitution with A -methylpiperazine <01S699>. Then, 186 was coupled with various substituted arylboronic acids to obtain 187 by Suzuki-type cross-coupling reactions. Best results were obtained with electron-donating substituents on the arylboronic acid. 

Copoly(arylene ether nitrile ketone)s with a phtha-lazinone moiety can be synthesized by a nucleophilic substitution of 4-(4-hydroxylphenyl)-2,3-phthalazin-l(2H)-one and 2,6-dichlorobenzonitrile (DCBN) to 4,4 -difluoro benzophenone [54]. The materials are amorphous and soluble in dipolar aprotic solvents, such as A-methyl pyrrolidione, A,A-dimethylace-tamide, and chloroform at room temperature. It is possible to cast the materials into transparent, strong, and flexible films. 

The reactivity of pyridazines, cinnolines, and phthalazines toward substitution and coupling reactions was investigated in 2013. The Giomi group examined nucleophilic aromatic substitutions on 4,5-dicyanopyridazine...

Chlorophthalazine is quite reactive to many basic nucleophiles but reacts sluggishly with aqueous or alcoholic alkali. In contrast, it is very rapidly hydrolyzed by warm, concentrated hydrochloric acid as are its diazine isomers. In hydrolysis with very dilute acid or with water, it forms some phthalazinone but mostly the self-con-densation product which hydrolyses to give 2-(l -phthalazinyl)-phthalazin-l-one (70% yield). Such self-condensations in diazanaph-thalenes and in monocyclic azines are always acid-catalyzed (Sections II, C and III,B). With methanolic methoxide, 1-chlorophthalazine (65°, few mins), its 7-methoxy analog (20°), and 1,6- and 1,7-dichlorophthalazines (20°) readily undergo mono-substitution. 

Furthermore, pyrazole 366 reacts with phthalazine (Scheme 132) to afford pyrazolo[3, 4 4,5]pyrido[6,l-a]phthalazine (367). From a mechanistic viewpoint, no 1,6-dipolar cyclization occurs. Instead, an intramolecular nucleophilic aromatic substitution to the heteroarene is likely. Isoquinoline leads to zwitterionic 368 (94JOC3985). 

Aryl halides bearing strong electron-withdrawing groups and thus allowing nucleophilic aromatic substitution can be used for the arylation of azinone anions. 4-(4-Hydroxy-3-methylphenyl)phthalazin-l(2//)-one has been arylated simultaneously at N-2 and at the phenolic OH with 4-chlorobenzonitrile and potassium carbonate in dimethyl-acetamide (DMA) <2005CHJ200>. 

In principle, the interaction of a phosphorus(III) ester with an co-haloalkylamine should lead to an (co-aminoalkyl)phosphonic diester or a phosphinic acid analogue (Scheme 11). Such examples in the classical Michaelis-Arbuzov mould have been widely reported, but success in their outcome depends on the relative nucleophilicities of nitrogen and phos-phorus(III) centres towards the displacement of halogen. The interaction of triethyl phosphite and a halogen-substituted tertiary amine, such as 2-chloroethyldiethylamine, does not lead to a phosphonic diester, and in this particular case the product is a piperazinium diquaternary salt. However, successful Michaelis-Arbuzov reactions have been carried out between the bis(bromomethyl)phthalazines 130 (to both the mono- and di-phosphonic acid stages) and the series of [co-(2-cyano-4-pyridine)alkyl]phosphonic diesters 132 (n = 1-4) have been prepared from the 4-pyridinealkyl bromides 131 as precursors to the phosphonoalkylpiperidinecarboxylic acids 133 . ... 

Unequivocal evidence for the formation of o -adducts has been obtained by X-ray diffraction analysis of those adducts which are stable enough to obtain their single crystals [11]. Indeed, the X-ray crystallography data are available for the anionic trinitrobenzene-methoxide and the Janovsky trinitrobenzene-acetone complexes [11, 201, 202] and for the o -adducts of isoquinoline [203], phthalazine [160], and 4,7-phenanthroline [161, 162] with dialkyl phosphonates. Also the X-ray data have been obtained for the neutral o -adducts resulting from the reactions of iV-methylacridinium ion with N-nucleophiles [204, 205] and for the o -adducts of iV-alkyl-substituted 2,3-dicyanopyrazinium and quinoxalinium salts with 0-, C-and P-nucleophiles [163, 194].
