Ring systems arylation

A Pd-cataly2ed reaction of amines with halides is expected, but actually little is known about the reaction. The CDE ring system of lavendamycin (805) has been constructed by the intramolecular reaction of aryl bromide with aniline derivative in 804, but 1.2 equiv, of Pd(Ph3P)4 is required[679]. 

Thiophene [110-02-1] and a number of its derivatives are significant in fine chemical industries as intermediates to many products for pharmaceutical, agrochemical, dyestuffs, and electronic appHcations. This article concentrates on the industrial, commercial, and economic aspects of the production and apphcations of thiophene and thiophene derivatives and details the main synthetic schemes to the parent ring system and simple alkyl and aryl derivatives. Functionalization of the ring and the synthesis of some functional derivatives that result, not from the parent ring system, but by direct ring cyclization reactions are also considered. Many good reviews on the chemistry of thiophene and thiophene derivatives are available (1 7). 

Dewar and Turchi carried out similar rearrangements of secondary and tertiary alkyl and aryl oxazole-4-carboxamides (5a-e) to the corresponding secondary and tertiary 5-aminooxazoles (6a-e). For example, they realized yields > 90% when the amide nitrogen is part of a heterocyclic ring system. 

Reactivity in this ring system is sufficient for facile hydrolysis (20°, 2 hr or 100°, 1 min) of the 2-, 4-, 6-, and 7-methoxypteridines in high yield and for easy substitution (75-90% yields) of the 7-methylthio group with methanolic hydrazine hydrate (65°, 15 min), dimethylamine (65°, 30 min), and ethanolic ammonia (125°, 6 hr). The 7-acyloxy intermediate in thionation of 7-oxopteridine with phosphorus pentasulfide is readily substituted (80°) to form pteridine-7-thione. The chloro group in 6-aryl-2,4-diamino-7-chloro-pteridine still reacts readily with hydrazine (100°, several minutes) in spite of the two deactivating amino substituents. 

The initial series of major tranquilizers consists of alkylated derivatives of 4-aryl-4-hydroxypiperidines. Construction of this ring system is accomplished by a set of rather unusual reactions. Condensation of methylstyrenes with formaldehyde and ammonium chloride afford the corresponding hexahydro-1,3-oxazines (119). Heating these oxazines in the presence of acid leads to rearrangement with loss of water to the tetrahydropyridines. Scheme 1 shows a possible reaction pathway for these transformations. Addition of hydrogen bromide affords the expected 4-bromo compound (121). This last is easily displaced by water to lead to the desired alcohol (122) The side chain (123) is obtained by Friedel-Crafts acylation of p-fluorobenzene with 4-chloro-butyryl chloride. Alkylation of the appropriate arylpiperidinol with 123 affords the desired butyrophenone derivative. Thus,... 

The selectivity for two-alkyne annulation can be increased by involving an intramolecular tethering of the carbene complex to both alkynes. This was accomplished by the synthesis of aryl-diynecarbene complexes 115 and 116 from the triynylcarbene complexes 113 and 114, respectively, and Danishefsky s diene in a Diels-Alder reaction [70a]. The diene adds chemoselectively to the triple bond next to the electrophilic carbene carbon. The thermally induced two-alkyne annulation of the complexes 115 and 116 was performed in benzene and yielded the steroid ring systems 117 and 118 (Scheme 51). This tandem Diels-Alder/two-alkyne annulation, which could also be applied in a one-pot procedure, offers new strategies for steroid synthesis in the class O—>ABCD. 

This reaction is most often carried out with R = aryl, so the net result is the same as in 14-17, though the reagent is different. It is used less often than 14-17, but the scope is similar. When R = alkyl, the scope is more limited. Only certain aromatic compounds, particularly benzene rings with two or more nitro groups, and fused ring systems, can be alkylated by this procedure. 1,4-Quinones can be alkylated with diacyl peroxides or with lead tetraacetate (methylation occurs with this reagent). 

The polyazapolysulfur ring system 1,3,2,4,6-dithiatriazine 15 is obtained by reacting 1-aryl-2,2,2-trifluoroethanone oximes with tetrasulfur tetranitride in refluxing toluene. However, the yield is only moderate <%JHC295>. 

The active component of a carrier formulation is generally a nonionic compound of Mr 150-200 containing a benzenoid ring system. A comprehensive review listed the classes of compounds used together with their general properties, ideal requirements and the mechanisms that have been proposed for carrier action [115]. Carrier compounds fall into four main classes phenols, primary arylamines, aryl hydrocarbons and aryl esters. Major...
