Substitued acids 2-hydroxy

The rearrangement of dimethyl 5-hydroxy-l-bcnzothiepin-3,4-dicarboxylate (9, R = OH), the first example of a thermal rearrangement of a thiepin derivative without loss of sulfur,12 is analogous to the oxepin-benzene oxide-phenol rearrangement (cf. Section D,l. Introduction and Section 1.2.5.1). This process is catalyzed by the acidic hydroxy substituent. In fact, if this functional group is modified by an in situ acetylation (R = OAc), the usual loss of sulfur occurs. 

Some studies directed at the synthesis of the b + c + d rings of gibberellic acid, and in particular the fragment (134), have been reported.The Diels-Alder addition of butadiene to the cyclopentenone (135) afforded (136), which was converted via its iodo-lactone (137) into the tricyclic compound (138). However, the synthesis broke down at the removal of the ring D substituents. l-Hydroxy-7-methylenebicyclo[3,2,l]octane (139) provides a model for the gibbane-steviol c/d ring system. A synthetic route involves the photoaddition of allene to 1-cyclopentene-l-aldehyde to give l-formyl-7-methylenebicyclo-... 

The exchange of chloro substituents for hydroxy groups, whilst usually performed in alkaline media, may also be achieved in aqueous acid. Thus, 6-chloropyrido[2,3-0]pyrazine (11) is converted into pyrido[2,3-6]pyrazin-6(5/7)-onc (12) in 50% yield by refluxing in 5 M hydrochloric acid.41...

Coumarin is usually prepared by heating salicylaldehyde with acetic anhydride and sodium acetate (i.e., the Perkin cinnamic acid synthesis, p. 23 6), whereby the 0" hydroxy-cinnamic acid (I) undergoes cyclisation to coumarin. Coumarins having substituents in the benzene ring can often be similarly prepared. 

Little is known quantitatively about substituent effects in the nitration of derivatives of azanaphthalenes. In preparative experiments 4-hydroxy-quinoline, -cinnoline, and -quinazoline give the 6- and 8-nitro compounds, but with nitric acid alone 4-hydroxyquinoline and 2,4-di-hydroxyquinoline react at With nitric acid, 4-hydroxycinnoline... 

A more eflicient and general synthetic procedure is the Masamune reaction of aldehydes with boron enolates of chiral a-silyloxy ketones. A double asymmetric induction generates two new chiral centres with enantioselectivities > 99%. It is again explained by a chair-like six-centre transition state. The repulsive interactions of the bulky cyclohexyl group with the vinylic hydrogen and the boron ligands dictate the approach of the enolate to the aldehyde (S. Masamune, 1981 A). The fi-hydroxy-x-methyl ketones obtained are pure threo products (threo = threose- or threonine-like Fischer formula also termed syn" = planar zig-zag chain with substituents on one side), and the reaction has successfully been applied to macrolide syntheses (S. Masamune, 1981 B). Optically pure threo (= syn") 8-hydroxy-a-methyl carboxylic acids are obtained by desilylation and periodate oxidation (S. Masamune, 1981 A). Chiral 0-((S)-trans-2,5-dimethyl-l-borolanyl) ketene thioketals giving pure erythro (= anti ) diastereomers have also been developed by S. Masamune (1986). 

Cyclopentene derivatives with carboxylic acid side-chains can be stereoselectively hydroxy-lated by the iodolactonization procedure (E.J. Corey, 1969, 1970). To the trisubstituted cyclopentene described on p. 210 a large iodine cation is added stereoselectively to the less hindered -side of the 9,10 double bond. Lactone formation occurs on the intermediate iod-onium ion specifically at C-9ot. Later the iodine is reductively removed with tri-n-butyltin hydride. The cyclopentane ring now bears all oxygen and carbon substituents in the right stereochemistry, and the carbon chains can be built starting from the C-8 and C-12 substit""" ... 

One of the virtues of the Fischer indole synthesis is that it can frequently be used to prepare indoles having functionalized substituents. This versatility extends beyond the range of very stable substituents such as alkoxy and halogens and includes esters, amides and hydroxy substituents. Table 7.3 gives some examples. These include cases of introduction of 3-acetic acid, 3-acetamide, 3-(2-aminoethyl)- and 3-(2-hydroxyethyl)- side-chains, all of which are of special importance in the preparation of biologically active indole derivatives. Entry 11 is an efficient synthesis of the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug indomethacin. A noteworthy feature of the reaction is the... 

Acyl derivatives, RCO—NH—OH and HjN—O—CO—R, are named as A-hydroxy derivatives of amides and as O-acylhydroxylamines, respectively. The former may also be named as hydroxamic acids. Examples are A-hydroxyacetamide for CH3CO—NH—OH and O-acetylhydrox-ylamine for HjN—O—CO—CH3. Further substituents are denoted by prefixes with O- and/or A-locants. For example, C5H5NH—O—C2H5 would be O-ethyl-A-phenylhydroxylamine or A-ethox-ylaniline. 

Most xanthene dyes are classified as basic dyes by their method of appHcation acid dyes can be produced by introduction of sulfonic acid groups. The fluoresceins, which contain carboxy and hydroxy substituents, are also acid dyes for coloration of silk. Some of the fluoresceins in which the carboxy group has been esterified, are soluble in alcohol or other organic solvents and can be classified as solvent dyes. Mordant dyes can be produced by introducing o-dihydroxy or sahcyhc acid groups (2), which when metallised can have very good lightfastness. 

Ring substituents show enhanced reactivity towards nucleophilic substitution, relative to the unoxidized systems, with substituents a to the fV-oxide showing greater reactivity than those in the /3-position. In the case of quinoxalines and phenazines the degree of labilization of a given substituent is dependent on whether the intermediate addition complex is stabilized by mesomeric interactions and this is easily predicted from valence bond considerations. 2-Chloropyrazine 1-oxide is readily converted into 2-hydroxypyrazine 1-oxide (l-hydroxy-2(l//)-pyrazinone) (55) on treatment with dilute aqueous sodium hydroxide (63G339), whereas both 2,3-dichloropyrazine and 3-chloropyrazine 1-oxide are stable under these conditions. This reaction is of particular importance in the preparation of pyrazine-based hydroxamic acids which have antibiotic properties. 

Isothiazoles with electron-releasing substituents such as amino, hydroxy, or alkoxy in the 3- or 5-position are brominated in high yield in the 4-position. Alkylisothiazoles give lower yields, but 3-methylisothiazole-5-carboxylic acid has been brominated in 76% yield (72AHC(14)1). Again, thiazoles with an electron-releasing substituent in the 2- or 4-position are brominated at the 5-position (79HC(34-1)5).
