Oxidative [3+2]Cycloaddition of Alkynylphosphonates with Heterocyclic N-Imines: Synthesis of Pyrazolo[1,5-a]Pyridine-3-phosphonates

Abstract
A series of pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyridine-3-ylphosphonates were prepared with moderate to good yields by the oxidative [3+2]cycloaddition of 2-subtituted ethynylphosphonates with in situ generated pyridinium-N-imines and their annulated analogs. 2-Aliphatic and 2-Ph acetylenes demonstrate low activity, and the corresponding pyrazolopyridines were achieved with [...] Read more.
A series of pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyridine-3-ylphosphonates were prepared with moderate to good yields by the oxidative [3+2]cycloaddition of 2-subtituted ethynylphosphonates with in situ generated pyridinium-N-imines and their annulated analogs. 2-Aliphatic and 2-Ph acetylenes demonstrate low activity, and the corresponding pyrazolopyridines were achieved with a moderate yield in the presence of 10 mol% Fe(NO3)3·9H2O. At the same time, tetraethyl ethynylbisphosphonate, diethyl 2-TMS- and 2-OPh-ethynylphosphonates possess much greater reactivity and the corresponding pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyridines, and their annulated derivatives were obtained with good to excellent yields without any catalyst. 2-Halogenated ethynylphosphonates also readily reacted with pyridinium-N-imines, forming complex mixtures containing poor amounts of 2-halogenated pyrazolopyridines.

A new effective method for the synthesis of imidazo[1,5-b]pyridazines derivatives (yields = 68–89%) by the interaction of 1,2-diamino-4-phenylimidazole with DMAD, in methanol and in the presence of a catalytic amount of acetic acid, is proposed. The course of reaction has been examined by classical organic methods, HPLC-MS analysis, and quantum-chemical calculations. Full article

Abstract
Although diaryl tellurides are parent organotellurium compounds, their synthesis methods, especially for unsymmetrical ones, are limited. This may be due to the instability of diaryl tellurides and their synthesis intermediates under reaction conditions.

Although diaryl tellurides are parent organotellurium compounds, their synthesis methods, especially for unsymmetrical ones, are limited. This may be due to the instability of diaryl tellurides and their synthesis intermediates under reaction conditions. Radical reactions are known to exhibit excellent functional group selectivity; therefore, we focused on a bimolecular homolytic substitution (SH2) reaction between the aryl radical and diaryl ditelluride. Aryl radicals are generated from arylhydrazines in air and captured by diaryl ditellurides, resulting in a selective formation of unsymmetrical diaryl tellurides with high yields. The electronic effects of the substituents on both arylhydrazines and diaryl ditellurides on the SH2 reaction of tellurium are also discussed in detail. Full article

We report herein the synthesis of siloxane-functionalized CBP molecules (4,4′-bis(carbazole)-1,1′-biphenyl) for liquid optoelectronic applications. The room-temperature liquid state is obtained through a convenient functionalization of the molecules with heptamethyltrisiloxane chains via hydrosilylation of alkenyl spacers. The synthesis comprises screening of metal-catalyzed methodologies to introduce alkenyl linkers into carbazoles (Stille and Suzuki Miyaura cross-couplings), incorporate the alkenylcarbazoles to dihalobiphenyls (Ullmann coupling), and finally introduce the siloxane chains. The used conditions allowed the synthesis of the target compounds, despite the high reactivity of the alkenyl moieties bound to π-conjugated systems toward undesired side reactions such as polymerization, isomerization, and hydrogenation. The features of these solvent-free liquid CBP derivatives make them potentially interesting for fluidic optoelectronic applications. Full article

The results of quantum chemical and experimental studies of the reaction of 2-bromomethyl-1,3-thiaselenole with 1,3-benzothiazole-2-thiol made it possible to discover the unprecedented pathway of this reaction, which proceeds stepwise at three different centers of seleniranium intermediates. The first stage includes an attack of thiolate anion at the selenium atom of the seleniranium cation accompanied by ring opening with the formation of (Z)-2-[(1,3-benzothiazol-2-ylsulfanyl)selanyl]ethenyl vinyl sulfide, which is converted to six-membered heterocycle, 2-(2,3-dihydro-1,4-thiaselenin-2-ylsulfanyl)-1,3-benzothiazole, in a 99% yield. The latter compound undergoes rearrangement with ring contraction producing five-membered heterocycle, 2-[(1,3-thiaselenol-2-ylmethyl)sulfanyl]-1,3-benzothiazole, in a 99% yield (the thermodynamic product). The formation of 1,2-bis[(Z)-2-(vinylsulfanyl)ethenyl] diselenide is the result of the disproportionation of (Z)-2-[(1,3-benzothiazol-2-ylsulfanyl)selanyl]ethenyl vinyl sulfide. Thus, based on the quantum chemical and experimental studies, a regioselective synthesis of the reaction products in high yields was developed. Full article
