Photochromic dihetarylethenes. 7. Synthesis of bis(thienylazoles), photochromic analogs of diarylethenes

Procedures for the synthesis of 4,5-bis[2,5-dimethyl(3-thienyl)]-1,3-azoles based on 1,2-bis[2,5-dimethyl(3-thienyl)]-2-hydroxyethan-1-one, 2-chloro-1,2-bis[2,5-dimethyl(3-thienyl)]ethan-1-one, and 1,2-bis[2,5-dimethyl(3-thienyl)]ethane-1,2-dione were developed. Dithienylethenic compounds in which the thienyl rings are linked through the azole rings exhibit photochromic properties.

New synthesis of 1,2,4-oxadiazoles

The interaction of amidoximes with nitriles in the presence of ZnCl 2 and HCl affords 1,2,4-oxadiazoles. The reaction of N-15-labeled amidoximes with nitriles was studied. Elimination of the amino group of the amidoxime fragment was observed in the oxadiazole formation and N-monoalkyl and N,N-dialkylamidoximes can be used in the synthesis of 1,2,4-oxadiazoles

A convenient synthesis of 3,4-diaryl(hetaryl)-substituted maleimides and maleic anhydrides

A convenient procedure has been developed for the synthesis of 3,4-diaryl(or hetaryl)maleimides by cross coupling of N-substituted 3,4-dibromomaleimides with aryl(hetaryl)boronic acids in the presence of Pd(Ph3P)4 and CsF. The reaction ensures high yields of the products and requires relatively small amount of the catalyst; it can be performed on an enlarged scale. The resulting maleimides are readily converted into the corresponding maleic anhydrides.

Photochromic Dihetarylethenes: XVII. * New Synthesis of Photochromic N-Alkyldithienylmaleimides **

A new convenient procedure for the synthesis of photochromic N-alkyldithienylmaleimides was developed on the basis of the reaction of 3,4-bis(2,5-dimethyl-3-thienyl)furan-2,5-dione with primary amines. Photochromic properties of the products were examined.

Synthesis of Oxamic Acids Thiohydrazides and Carbamoyl-1,3,4-thiadiazoles

A convenient preparation method was developed for oxamic acids thiohydrazides by reaction of α-chloroacetamides with a preliminary prepared solution of elemental sulfur and hydrazines. A series of carbamoyl-1,3,4-thiadiazole derivatives was obtained.

Synthesis of Photochromic Dihetarylethenes. (Review)

The main methods of synthesis of dihetarylethenes are given in the review. Approaches for obtaining photochromic compounds are discussed, in which both the traditional residues of perfluorocyclopentene, maleic anhydride, and maleimide, and little-studied fragments of partially saturated or aromatic heterocycles are used as the ethenic fragment. Significant attention is paid to the X-ray structural data of open and cyclized forms of the photochromes.

Regioselective acylation of methyl 2-methyl-4H-thieno[3,2-b]pyrrole-5-carboxylate

The influence of catalysts, acid chlorides, and solvents on the acylation of methyl 2-methyl-4H-thieno[3,2-b]pyrrole-5-carboxylate was studied. The use of AlCl3 allows the regioselective introduction of the acyl group into position 3 to be performed, whereas the acyl group is regioselectively introduced into position 6 of thienopyrrole when SnCl4 is used.

15N NMR study of the mechanism of the reaction of amidoximes with nitrites in the presence of ZnCl2 and HCl

The structures of complexes formed during the transformation of amidoximes into 1,2,4-oxadiazoles by the action of nitriles in the presence of zinc chloride and HCl were studied by15N NMR spectroscopy.

A convenient synthesis of 3-substituted 5-guanidino-1,2,4-oxadiazoles

The reaction of amidoximes with cyanoguanidine in the presence of Lewis acids affords 3-substituted 5-guanidino-1,2,4-oxadiazoles. A study of the reaction of15N-labeled chloroacetamidoxime with cyanoguanidine showed that the formation of the oxadiazole ring occursvia the elimination of the amino group from the amidoxime fragment. 1,2,4-Oxadiazoles bearing the imidazole or pyrimidine moiety were synthesized.

A New Approach to the Synthesis of Dithienylethanediones and Dithienylacetylenes

Abstract1,2-Dithienylethanediones were synthesized by modified acylation of thiophene and its homologs in the presence of aluminum chloride and pyridine. The bishydrazones of the products were converted into dithienylacetylenes by oxidation with atmospheric oxygen in pyridine in the presence of CuCl.
