Access to 3-arylmethyl-5-(methylthio)isoxazoles via an initial ring-opening of 2-methylthio-4-nitrothiophene
摘要:
The reactions of 1, 1 -bis(methylthio)-3-nitro-4-pyrrolidino-1.3-butadiene (deriving from the initial ring-opening of 2-methylthio-4-nitrothiophene with pyrrolidine and silver nitrate in EtOH) with arylmagnesium bromides result in the chemoselective replacement of the pyrrolidino group with the aryl moiety of the Grignards. The 4-aryl-1,1-bis(methylthio)-3-nitro-1,3-butadienes thus obtained are the key intermediates for the effective synthesis, through the corresponding reduction products 4-aryl-3-hydroximino-1, 1-bis(methylthio)-1-butenes, of the previously unknown 3-arylmethyl-5-(methylthio)isoxazoles.

Ring opening of 2-substituted 4-nitrothiophenes with pyrrolidine. Access to new functionalized nitro-unsaturated building blocks
摘要:
The reaction conditions of the ring-opening processes of 3-nitrothiophene 7a and of 3-nitrobenzo[b]thiophene 7b with pyrrolidine and silver nitrate were optimized as well as those of the subsequent S-methylation of the ensuing silver enethiolates 8a and 8b to 4-methylthio-2-nitro-1-pyrrolidino-1,3-butadiene 9a and 1-(2-methylthiophenyl)-1-nitro-2-pyrrolidinoethylene 9b. Under such conditions 2-X-substituted 4-nitrothiophenes 7c-i consistently gave good yields of the corresponding 4-methylthio-2-nitro-1-pyrrolidino-4-X-1,3-butadienes 9c-i. The nitroenamine derivatives 9a-i were then reacted with p-tolylmagnesium bromide to furnish moderate to good yields of 4-methylthio-2-nitro-1-(p-tolyl)-4-X-1,3-butadienes 10a,c-i and 1-(2-methylthiophenyl)-1-nitro-2-(p-tolyl)ethylene 10b. Stereochemistry of the interesting building blocks 9a-i and 10a-i was assigned on the grounds of H-1 NMR data and NOE experiments. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
Nitroalkylation and nitroalkenylation reactions of γ-lactone enolates. A facile ring switch from polysubstituted γ-lactones to polysubstituted γ-lactams
Michael addition of lithium enolates of gamma-butyrolactone 1 and alpha-methyl-gamma-butyrolactone 1' to (E)-1-nitropropene 2, (E)-beta-nitrostyrene 3 and (E)-2-vitro-1-phenylpropene 4 is described. Reactions of the lithium enolate of 1' with 2 and 4 occurred with high diasteroselectivity (80 and 92% d.e., respectively). Reactions of the zinc enolate of 1' with two beta-nitroenamines and two methylthiosubstituted 1-amino-2-vitro-1,3-dienes were also examined. Catalytic reduction of the nitroalkylated and nitroalkenylated products allowed the achievement of functionalized gamma-lactams and/or cyclic hydroxamic acids. (C) 2004 Elsevier Ltd.
