3-Hydroxyphenalenones 3, synthesized from 1,8-naphthalic anhydride 1 and malonates 2, react by electrophilic halogenation to 2-chlorophenalenediones 4 or 2-iodophenalenone 5. The chloro group of 4 was exchanged against azide by reaction with sodium azide to give 2-azidophenalenediones 6. Nucleophilic chlorination of 3 furnishes 3-chlorophenalenones 7, which were converted to 3-azidophenalenones 8. Staudinger reaction of 8 with triphenylphosphane gave phosphazenes 9 which hydrolyzed to 3-aminophenalenones 10. Amines 10 can also be obtained directly from 3-hydroxyphenalenones 3 and ammonium acetate, or by catalytic hydrogenolysis of azides 8. Nitration of 3-hydroxyphenalenone 3a with nitric acid forms 2-nitrophenalenone 11, which was converted to 3-chloro-2-nitrophenalenone 12. Attempts to introduce the 3-azido group in 12, however, resulted in an exchange of both, the nitro group and the chloro group, to form 2,3-diazidophenalenone 13.2-Amino-3-hydroxyphenalenone 14 cyclizes with carboxylic acid derivatives to oxazolo-phenalenones 15, which were also obtained from 3-azidophenalenone 8a and a carboxylic acid involving an azirine intermediate 16. This allows to move the position of the N-atom. Another cyclization reaction leads via the intermediate oxime 22 of 2-acetylphenalenone 21, which gives an isomer mixture of isoxazolophenalenone 23 as main product and oxazolophenalenone 15 as by-product, because of a parallel reaction via a Beckmann rearrangement.cyclization reactions [8][9][10][11]. In this paper we investigate the synthesis of aminophenalenones and azidophenalenones, their reactivity against electrophilic and nucleophilic reactions and their ability for ring closure reactions to phenaleno-oxazoles and isoxazoles. Synthesis of 3-hydroxyphenalenones 3.Electrophilic halogenation to 4 and 5.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
