A new and efficient approach to isoxazolines. First synthesis of 3-aryl-5-dichloromethyl-2-isoxazolines
摘要:
An efficient synthetic method for 3-aryl-5-dichloromethyl-2-isoxazolines has been established. Reactions between anhydrous chloral and acetophenones in hot acetic acid lead to 1-aryl-4,4,4-trichloro-3-hydroxybutan-1-ones (chloralacetophenones), which provided 1-aryl-4,4-dichlorobut-3-en-1-ones (2,2-dichlorovinylacetophenones) by dehydration and subsequent electrochemical reduction. These beta,gamma-unsaturated enones reacted with hydroxylamine yielding oxime intermediates whose treatment with aqueous sodium hydroxide gave novel 3-aryl-5-dichloromethyl-2-isoxazolines in fair to high yields. The molecular structure of a member of this family of compounds, 5-dichoromethyl-3-(4-methoxyphenyl)-2-isoxazoline, was determined by X-ray crystallography. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd.

A newsynthetic method in pyrimidine chemistry has been developed. 2,2,2-Trichloroethylideneacetophenones, easily available from chloral and acetophenones, reacted with benzamidines to provide novel 2,6-diaryl-6-hydroxy-4-trichloromethyl-1,4,5,6-tetrahydropyrimidines in near quantitative yields. Efficient dehydration of these compounds gave previously unknown 2,4-diaryl-6-trichloromethyl-1,6-dihydropyrimidines
An efficient synthetic method for dichloromethylated pyrazolines has been established. 1-Aryl-4,4-dichlorobut-3-en-1-ones 4 were efficiently prepared by treatment of acetophenones with anhydrous chloral, followed by dehydration and reductive dechlorination. Compounds 4 reacted with hydrazine hydrate and methylhydrazine to give the respective 5-dichloromethyl-2-pyrazolines in high to quantitative yields. The molecular structure of 5-dichoromethyl-1-methyl-3-(2-naphthyl)-2-pyrazoline has been determined by X-ray crystallography. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
