Abstract:

Studies show that compounds such as 1,3-oxazine-6-ones are promising starting reagents that allow to obtain various acyclic and heteroaromatic systems. These substances demonstrate a wide range of biological activity. Meanwhile, it is known that depending on 1,3-oxazine cycles number in molecule, pharmacological activity may vary. Therefore, purpose of our work was to study reaction of benzene-1,4-dicarboxamide with methylmalonyl dichloride as the most rational way to obtain new compounds of given structure. This interaction can potentially lead to both mono- and bis(1,3-oxazine-6-one) derivatives. Reaction between terephthalamide and methylmalonyl dichloride was conducted at their equimolar ratio and with twofold excess of the latter. Syntheses were carried out in two media: absolute benzene and 1,2-dichloroethane. Reaction of equimolar amounts of reagents resulted in obtaining the only product 4-(4-hydroxy-5-methyl-6-oxo-6H-1,3-oxazine-2-yl)benzamide (1). In twofold excess of methylmalonyl dichloride, just product 1 was obtained after 24 hours of refluxing and after 58 hours only 2,2'-(benzene-1,4-diyl)bis(4-hydroxy-5-methyl-6H-1,3-oxazine-6-one) (2) formed. Determination of partial negative charge on nitrogen atoms of amido groups of terephthalamide and compound 1 allowed us to confirm sequential formation firstly of mono- (1) and then bis(1,3-oxazine-6-one) derivative (2) in reaction mass. Structure of obtained compounds was proved by NMR spectroscopy on 1H and 13C nuclei. When studying solvent influence on synthesis rate, no significant differences were noted between benzene and 1,2-dichloroethane. However, the yield of 2,2'-(benzene-1,4-diyl)bis(4-hydroxy-5-methyl-6H-1,3-oxazine-6-one) during synthesis in 1,2-dichloroethane was lower – 77% compared with 85% in benzene.
