1 Introduction

Organic synthesis is an essential way to get chemical prod-ucts having practical applications such as pharmaceuti-cals plant protection agents dyes photographic sensitizersand monomers Transformations of starting materials intodesired final products usually require number of chemi-cal operations in which additional reagents catalysts andsolvents are employed Thus during any synthetic methodbesides the desired products many waste materials areproduced because transformations of reactants into productsare neither quantitative nor selective processes This wastecould be regenerated destroyed or disposed This will leadto consuming much energy and creating heavy burden onthe environment Therefore it is of a great importance todevelop and use synthetic methodologies that minimizeor eliminate such problems One of the most commonand efficient methodologies that fulfill this requirement isemploying phase-transfer catalyses techniques [1ndash4] Themost significant advantages of use of PTCs in industrialapplications are [5]

(1) elimination of organic solvents(2) elimination of dangerous inconvenient and expen-

sive reagents such as NaH and NaNH2

(3) increasing the reactivity and selectivity of the activespecies

(4) improving the yield and purity of products to theoptimum records

(5) simplifying the whole synthetic process and makingit safer and objective

(6) reducing industrial wastes and overall costs and sav-ing energy which gives a positive impact on economicand environmental interests

(7) accelerating and performing mimic reactions in anefficient mode

In addition numerous publications and patents [7ndash12]have been reported during the period of 1950ndash1965 PTCstechniques have been further developed byMakosza et al forthe purpose of obtaining more efficient and pure yield [13ndash16]

12 Mechanism of Phase-Transfer Catalysis All phase-transfer catalyzed reactions involve at least two steps

(1) transfer of one reagent from its ground phase into thesecond phase as an intermediate

(2) reaction of the transferred reagent with the non-transferred reagent for example the alkylation ofphenylacetonitrile with alkyl halide using aqueousNaOH as a base and tetrabutylammonium halide

The concept of phase-transfer catalysis is not limited toanion transfer but is muchmore general so that in principleone could also transfer cations free radicals or wholemolecule Phase transfer catalysis is classified as liquid-liquidliquid-solid liquid-gas solid-gas or solid-solid systems

2 Application of Phase Transfer Catalysisin Synthesis of Five-Membered Ring ofHeterocyclic Compounds

21 Synthesis of Five-Membered Ring Heterocycles Con-taining One Heteroatom Treatment of anilinomethylene-malononitrile 1 with ethyl chloroacetate chloroaceta-midephenacyl chloride or diethyl bromomalonate in 1 1 1molar ratio (dioxanK

(TBAB)) afforded the corresponding substituted pyrroles 2andashc and 3 respectively [17] (Figure 3)

The catalytic cycle which explains the reaction pathwaycan be simplified as in Scheme 1

A simple and convenient synthesis of 2-amino-1-aryl-5-oxo-45-dihydro-1H-pyrrole-3-carbonitriles 6 was achievedby reaction of N-aryl-2-chloroacetamide 4 andmalononitrile5 under solid-liquid PTC condition (CH

crown-6) at room temperature [18] (Figure 4)3-Amino-4-ethoxycarbonyl-1-phenyl-5-thioxo-25-dihy-

dro-2-pyrrolidene malononitrile 9a was prepared via reac-tion of malononitrile 5 phenyl isothiocyanate 7 and ethox-ymethylenemalononitrile 8a in 1 1 1 molar ratio under

the PTC mixture of dioxanK2CO3(TBAB) Replacing

of ethyl ethoxymethylenecyanoacetate 8b with 8a gaveethyl[3-amino-4-ethoxy-carbonyl-1-phenyl-5-thioxo-25-di-hydro-2-pyrrolidene]cyanoacetate 9b and 10 under the sameexperimental conditions [19] (Figure 5)

Moreover the reaction of ethyl cyanoacetate 11 withphenyl isothiocyante 7 and ethoxymethylenemalononitrile8a or ethyl ethoxymethylenecyanoacetate 8b in 1 1 1 molarratio under same PTC experimental conditions affordedthe corresponding pyrrole derivatives 12a b and 13 [19](Figure 6)

Reaction of methyl 25-dibromopentanoate 14 with tri-chloroacetamide 15 under solid-liquid technique (CH

K2CO3TEBACl) yielded methyl N-trichloroacetyl-2-pyr-

rolidine carboxylate 16 [20] (Figure 7)Substituted pyrrolidines 19 were synthesized via the

13-dipolar cycloaddition reaction between imino esters 17(derived from alanine and glycine with alkanes) and alkylacrylate 18 in a mixture of THF or toluene KOH and TBACl[21] (Figure 8)

14-Di(malononitrilemethyleneamino)benzene 20 wasallowed to react with ethyl chloroacetate chloroacetamidephenacyl chloride or diethyl bromomalonate in 1 2molar ratios under solid-liquid PTC technique to give thecorresponding 14-bi(1-pyrrolyl) benzene derivatives 21andashcand 22 [17] (Figure 9)

Pyrrolidine derivatives 24were obtained with thiophenes25 from the reaction of diethyl cyanomalonate 23with phenylisothiocyanate 7 and chloroacetonitrile or chloroacetamideusing the PTC of (DMFK

disulphide or phenyl isothiocyanate 7 along with differentactive halocompounds under solid-liquid phase condition(dioxanK

2CO3TBAB) have been reported byAbdAllah and

El-Sayed [22] (Figure 12)2-Thiophenylidenes 31ndash33 were obtained through the

reaction of either malononitrile 5 or ethyl cyanoacetate 11with carbon disulphide along with ethoxymethylenemal-ononitrile 8a or ethyl ethoxymethylenecyanoacetate 8busing liquid-solid technique (dioxanK

2CO3TBAB) [19]

(Figure 13)In this reaction the yield of products was found to be a

temperature dependent Thus at low temperature (40∘C) itaffords the aminothiophene derivative 32a in high yield whileat high temperature hydroxythiophene 32b or 33b was thesolely product but in low yield

The reaction of pyridosultam 34 with 3-chloropropylthiocyanate under the experimental condition (tolueneaqNaOHTBAB) yielded the corresponding dihydrothiophenederivative 35 [24] (Figure 14)

4-Amino-5-cyano-2-hydroxy-3-furancarboxylic acid 37and compound 38were synthesized by treating 1-phenyl-35-pyrazolinedione 36 with bromomalononitrile under solid-liquid condition (dioxanK

2CO3TBAB) (Figure 15) [25]

The reaction pathway for the formation of unexpectedcompound 37was assumed to proceed via catalytic hydrolysisof compound 38 into the furan derivative 37 and phenylhydrazine [25] (Figure 16)

Condensation of salicylaldehyde 39 and its derivativeswith various esters of chloroacetic acids 40 in the pres-ence of TBAB led to the synthesis of benzo[b]furans 41under solventless and microwave irradiation technique [26](Figure 17)

Liquid-liquid PTC reaction of 4-chlorobutyronitrile 42with nonenolizable aldehydes 43 via sequence of an addi-tion cyclization reaction gave tetrahydrofuran-3-carbonitrilederivative 44 [27] (Figure 18)

Fused bis-aroylbenzodifurans 46 have been synthesizedby condensing 24-diacetyl resorcinol 45 with various p-substituted phenacyl bromides [28] (Figure 19)

Methyl or ethyl 3-amino-4-arylthiophenes-2-carbox-ylates 48andashf were synthesized by Thorpe reaction throughthe treatment of 3-hydroxy-2-arylacrylonitriles 47andashf andmethyl or ethyl thioglycolates with hydrochloric acid byusing different PTC conditions (solid-liquid or liquid-liquid)The solid-liquid PTC conditions using 18-crown-6 alongwith potassium hydroxide as a catalyst are the method withexcellent yieldsThe reactions were carried out in acetonitrileat RT [29] (Figure 20)

In Japp-Klingemann reaction the indole derivatives 52have been prepared as indicated in Figure 21 The additionof a suitable PTC catalyst to the reaction could signifi-cantly improve the reaction process Firstly aryl amines49 were diazotized and reacted under alkaline conditionsethyl 2-[2-(13-dioxo-13-dihydro-2H-isoindol-2-yl)ethyl]-3-oxobutanoate 50 using PTC-promoted Japp-Klingemann

N-Alkylation of 3-phenyl-2-thiohydantoin-5-arylidenederivative 299 has been carried out by using monohalocom-pounds such as allyl bromide as an alkylating agentThe reac-tionwas proceeded through nucleophilic displacement underPTC conditions of solid-liquid phases such as a mixture ofanhydrous potassium carbonate dioxane and TBAB as aheterogeneous catalyst The corresponding alkylated product300 was obtained in a good yield [42] (Figure 107)

Alkylation reaction of pyrazoles 301ndash303 with 2-chloroethylamine under the condition of phase-transfercatalysis was carried out in a liquid-solid system usingbenzene as an organic solvent and BTEAC as a catalystReaction between equimolar amounts of reactants led topoor yields (20ndash40) of the alkylated products 304ndash306 due

to concurrent dehydrochlorination of 2-chloroethylamineThe yield was considerably decreased in going from pyrazole(301) to 35 dimethylpyrazole (303) whereas the maximalyield of alkylated products (70ndash80) was obtained byusing one of the following ratios pyrazole NaOH 2-chloroethylamine 1 2 2 3-(5)methylpyrazole NaOH 2chloroethylamine 1 3 3 or 35-dimethylpyrazole NaOH 2-chloroethylamine 1 5 5 [100] (Figure 108)

In the N-alkylation reaction of pyrazole 3-(5)-meth-ylpyrazole and 35-dimethylpyrazole 301ndash303 with dichlo-roethane (DCE) the dehydrochlorination of the obtained 1-(120573-chloroethyl)pyrazoles has been carried out to give the cor-responding productsN-vinylpyrazoles 307ndash309 (Figure 9) inlow yield Attempts to carry out the reaction under standardconditions (waterbenzeneNaOHTEBAC) did not lead tothe desired result The yield of all products was sharplyincreased when benzene was replaced with an excess ofdichloroethane The reaction investigation showed that theease of alkylation depends strongly on the basicity of the pyra-zole The introduction of an electron-donating substituent(eg Me) into the molecule of pyrazole 301 increases theelectron density at the ldquopyrazolerdquo nitrogen atoms As a resultdeprotonation was hindered and the base was consumed inelimination of dichloroethane It must also be mentionedthat a 5- to 7-folds excess of dichloroethane was necessary toobtain optimal yields on alkylation of compounds 301ndash303[101] (Figure 109)

In addition numerous publications and patents [7ndash12]have been reported during the period of 1950ndash1965 PTCstechniques have been further developed byMakosza et al forthe purpose of obtaining more efficient and pure yield [13ndash16]

12 Mechanism of Phase-Transfer Catalysis All phase-transfer catalyzed reactions involve at least two steps

(1) transfer of one reagent from its ground phase into thesecond phase as an intermediate

(2) reaction of the transferred reagent with the non-transferred reagent for example the alkylation ofphenylacetonitrile with alkyl halide using aqueousNaOH as a base and tetrabutylammonium halide

The concept of phase-transfer catalysis is not limited toanion transfer but is muchmore general so that in principleone could also transfer cations free radicals or wholemolecule Phase transfer catalysis is classified as liquid-liquidliquid-solid liquid-gas solid-gas or solid-solid systems

2 Application of Phase Transfer Catalysisin Synthesis of Five-Membered Ring ofHeterocyclic Compounds

21 Synthesis of Five-Membered Ring Heterocycles Con-taining One Heteroatom Treatment of anilinomethylene-malononitrile 1 with ethyl chloroacetate chloroaceta-midephenacyl chloride or diethyl bromomalonate in 1 1 1molar ratio (dioxanK

2CO3tetrabutylammonium bromide

(TBAB)) afforded the corresponding substituted pyrroles 2andashc and 3 respectively [17] (Figure 3)

The catalytic cycle which explains the reaction pathwaycan be simplified as in Scheme 1

A simple and convenient synthesis of 2-amino-1-aryl-5-oxo-45-dihydro-1H-pyrrole-3-carbonitriles 6 was achievedby reaction of N-aryl-2-chloroacetamide 4 andmalononitrile5 under solid-liquid PTC condition (CH

3CNK

2CO318-

crown-6) at room temperature [18] (Figure 4)3-Amino-4-ethoxycarbonyl-1-phenyl-5-thioxo-25-dihy-

dro-2-pyrrolidene malononitrile 9a was prepared via reac-tion of malononitrile 5 phenyl isothiocyanate 7 and ethox-ymethylenemalononitrile 8a in 1 1 1 molar ratio under

the PTC mixture of dioxanK2CO3(TBAB) Replacing

of ethyl ethoxymethylenecyanoacetate 8b with 8a gaveethyl[3-amino-4-ethoxy-carbonyl-1-phenyl-5-thioxo-25-di-hydro-2-pyrrolidene]cyanoacetate 9b and 10 under the sameexperimental conditions [19] (Figure 5)

Moreover the reaction of ethyl cyanoacetate 11 withphenyl isothiocyante 7 and ethoxymethylenemalononitrile8a or ethyl ethoxymethylenecyanoacetate 8b in 1 1 1 molarratio under same PTC experimental conditions affordedthe corresponding pyrrole derivatives 12a b and 13 [19](Figure 6)

Reaction of methyl 25-dibromopentanoate 14 with tri-chloroacetamide 15 under solid-liquid technique (CH

3CN

K2CO3TEBACl) yielded methyl N-trichloroacetyl-2-pyr-

rolidine carboxylate 16 [20] (Figure 7)Substituted pyrrolidines 19 were synthesized via the

13-dipolar cycloaddition reaction between imino esters 17(derived from alanine and glycine with alkanes) and alkylacrylate 18 in a mixture of THF or toluene KOH and TBACl[21] (Figure 8)

14-Di(malononitrilemethyleneamino)benzene 20 wasallowed to react with ethyl chloroacetate chloroacetamidephenacyl chloride or diethyl bromomalonate in 1 2molar ratios under solid-liquid PTC technique to give thecorresponding 14-bi(1-pyrrolyl) benzene derivatives 21andashcand 22 [17] (Figure 9)

Pyrrolidine derivatives 24were obtained with thiophenes25 from the reaction of diethyl cyanomalonate 23with phenylisothiocyanate 7 and chloroacetonitrile or chloroacetamideusing the PTC of (DMFK

disulphide or phenyl isothiocyanate 7 along with differentactive halocompounds under solid-liquid phase condition(dioxanK

2CO3TBAB) have been reported byAbdAllah and

El-Sayed [22] (Figure 12)2-Thiophenylidenes 31ndash33 were obtained through the

reaction of either malononitrile 5 or ethyl cyanoacetate 11with carbon disulphide along with ethoxymethylenemal-ononitrile 8a or ethyl ethoxymethylenecyanoacetate 8busing liquid-solid technique (dioxanK

2CO3TBAB) [19]

(Figure 13)In this reaction the yield of products was found to be a

temperature dependent Thus at low temperature (40∘C) itaffords the aminothiophene derivative 32a in high yield whileat high temperature hydroxythiophene 32b or 33b was thesolely product but in low yield

The reaction of pyridosultam 34 with 3-chloropropylthiocyanate under the experimental condition (tolueneaqNaOHTBAB) yielded the corresponding dihydrothiophenederivative 35 [24] (Figure 14)

4-Amino-5-cyano-2-hydroxy-3-furancarboxylic acid 37and compound 38were synthesized by treating 1-phenyl-35-pyrazolinedione 36 with bromomalononitrile under solid-liquid condition (dioxanK

2CO3TBAB) (Figure 15) [25]

The reaction pathway for the formation of unexpectedcompound 37was assumed to proceed via catalytic hydrolysisof compound 38 into the furan derivative 37 and phenylhydrazine [25] (Figure 16)

Condensation of salicylaldehyde 39 and its derivativeswith various esters of chloroacetic acids 40 in the pres-ence of TBAB led to the synthesis of benzo[b]furans 41under solventless and microwave irradiation technique [26](Figure 17)

Liquid-liquid PTC reaction of 4-chlorobutyronitrile 42with nonenolizable aldehydes 43 via sequence of an addi-tion cyclization reaction gave tetrahydrofuran-3-carbonitrilederivative 44 [27] (Figure 18)

Fused bis-aroylbenzodifurans 46 have been synthesizedby condensing 24-diacetyl resorcinol 45 with various p-substituted phenacyl bromides [28] (Figure 19)

Methyl or ethyl 3-amino-4-arylthiophenes-2-carbox-ylates 48andashf were synthesized by Thorpe reaction throughthe treatment of 3-hydroxy-2-arylacrylonitriles 47andashf andmethyl or ethyl thioglycolates with hydrochloric acid byusing different PTC conditions (solid-liquid or liquid-liquid)The solid-liquid PTC conditions using 18-crown-6 alongwith potassium hydroxide as a catalyst are the method withexcellent yieldsThe reactions were carried out in acetonitrileat RT [29] (Figure 20)

In Japp-Klingemann reaction the indole derivatives 52have been prepared as indicated in Figure 21 The additionof a suitable PTC catalyst to the reaction could signifi-cantly improve the reaction process Firstly aryl amines49 were diazotized and reacted under alkaline conditionsethyl 2-[2-(13-dioxo-13-dihydro-2H-isoindol-2-yl)ethyl]-3-oxobutanoate 50 using PTC-promoted Japp-Klingemann

N-Acetylated adenosine 292 was alkylated with ben-zyl bromide methyl iodide or allyl bromide in the pres-ence of tetrabutylammonium bromide as a PTC catalyst inCH2Cl2NaOH to give the correspondingN-alkyl-6-N-acetyl

adenosines 293a b [97] (Figure 104)N-alkylation reaction of adenine 294 took place with

different alkyl halides under the phase transfer conditionsusing microwave irradiation assistance [98] (Figure 105)

5-Aryloxymethyl-2-[(2-chlorophenyl)oxyacetylamido]-134-thiadiazoles 280 are synthesized from reaction of2-chlorophenyloxyacetyl chloride 297with 5-aryloxymethyl-2-amino-134-thiadiazoles 296under liquid-liquid conditionusing PEG-400 as a catalyst [99] (Figure 106)

N-Alkylation of 3-phenyl-2-thiohydantoin-5-arylidenederivative 299 has been carried out by using monohalocom-pounds such as allyl bromide as an alkylating agentThe reac-tionwas proceeded through nucleophilic displacement underPTC conditions of solid-liquid phases such as a mixture ofanhydrous potassium carbonate dioxane and TBAB as aheterogeneous catalyst The corresponding alkylated product300 was obtained in a good yield [42] (Figure 107)

Alkylation reaction of pyrazoles 301ndash303 with 2-chloroethylamine under the condition of phase-transfercatalysis was carried out in a liquid-solid system usingbenzene as an organic solvent and BTEAC as a catalystReaction between equimolar amounts of reactants led topoor yields (20ndash40) of the alkylated products 304ndash306 due

to concurrent dehydrochlorination of 2-chloroethylamineThe yield was considerably decreased in going from pyrazole(301) to 35 dimethylpyrazole (303) whereas the maximalyield of alkylated products (70ndash80) was obtained byusing one of the following ratios pyrazole NaOH 2-chloroethylamine 1 2 2 3-(5)methylpyrazole NaOH 2chloroethylamine 1 3 3 or 35-dimethylpyrazole NaOH 2-chloroethylamine 1 5 5 [100] (Figure 108)

In the N-alkylation reaction of pyrazole 3-(5)-meth-ylpyrazole and 35-dimethylpyrazole 301ndash303 with dichlo-roethane (DCE) the dehydrochlorination of the obtained 1-(120573-chloroethyl)pyrazoles has been carried out to give the cor-responding productsN-vinylpyrazoles 307ndash309 (Figure 9) inlow yield Attempts to carry out the reaction under standardconditions (waterbenzeneNaOHTEBAC) did not lead tothe desired result The yield of all products was sharplyincreased when benzene was replaced with an excess ofdichloroethane The reaction investigation showed that theease of alkylation depends strongly on the basicity of the pyra-zole The introduction of an electron-donating substituent(eg Me) into the molecule of pyrazole 301 increases theelectron density at the ldquopyrazolerdquo nitrogen atoms As a resultdeprotonation was hindered and the base was consumed inelimination of dichloroethane It must also be mentionedthat a 5- to 7-folds excess of dichloroethane was necessary toobtain optimal yields on alkylation of compounds 301ndash303[101] (Figure 109)

21 Synthesis of Five-Membered Ring Heterocycles Con-taining One Heteroatom Treatment of anilinomethylene-malononitrile 1 with ethyl chloroacetate chloroaceta-midephenacyl chloride or diethyl bromomalonate in 1 1 1molar ratio (dioxanK

2CO3tetrabutylammonium bromide

(TBAB)) afforded the corresponding substituted pyrroles 2andashc and 3 respectively [17] (Figure 3)

The catalytic cycle which explains the reaction pathwaycan be simplified as in Scheme 1

A simple and convenient synthesis of 2-amino-1-aryl-5-oxo-45-dihydro-1H-pyrrole-3-carbonitriles 6 was achievedby reaction of N-aryl-2-chloroacetamide 4 andmalononitrile5 under solid-liquid PTC condition (CH

dro-2-pyrrolidene malononitrile 9a was prepared via reac-tion of malononitrile 5 phenyl isothiocyanate 7 and ethox-ymethylenemalononitrile 8a in 1 1 1 molar ratio under

the PTC mixture of dioxanK2CO3(TBAB) Replacing

of ethyl ethoxymethylenecyanoacetate 8b with 8a gaveethyl[3-amino-4-ethoxy-carbonyl-1-phenyl-5-thioxo-25-di-hydro-2-pyrrolidene]cyanoacetate 9b and 10 under the sameexperimental conditions [19] (Figure 5)

Moreover the reaction of ethyl cyanoacetate 11 withphenyl isothiocyante 7 and ethoxymethylenemalononitrile8a or ethyl ethoxymethylenecyanoacetate 8b in 1 1 1 molarratio under same PTC experimental conditions affordedthe corresponding pyrrole derivatives 12a b and 13 [19](Figure 6)

Reaction of methyl 25-dibromopentanoate 14 with tri-chloroacetamide 15 under solid-liquid technique (CH

K2CO3TEBACl) yielded methyl N-trichloroacetyl-2-pyr-

rolidine carboxylate 16 [20] (Figure 7)Substituted pyrrolidines 19 were synthesized via the

13-dipolar cycloaddition reaction between imino esters 17(derived from alanine and glycine with alkanes) and alkylacrylate 18 in a mixture of THF or toluene KOH and TBACl[21] (Figure 8)

14-Di(malononitrilemethyleneamino)benzene 20 wasallowed to react with ethyl chloroacetate chloroacetamidephenacyl chloride or diethyl bromomalonate in 1 2molar ratios under solid-liquid PTC technique to give thecorresponding 14-bi(1-pyrrolyl) benzene derivatives 21andashcand 22 [17] (Figure 9)

Pyrrolidine derivatives 24were obtained with thiophenes25 from the reaction of diethyl cyanomalonate 23with phenylisothiocyanate 7 and chloroacetonitrile or chloroacetamideusing the PTC of (DMFK

disulphide or phenyl isothiocyanate 7 along with differentactive halocompounds under solid-liquid phase condition(dioxanK

2CO3TBAB) have been reported byAbdAllah and

El-Sayed [22] (Figure 12)2-Thiophenylidenes 31ndash33 were obtained through the

reaction of either malononitrile 5 or ethyl cyanoacetate 11with carbon disulphide along with ethoxymethylenemal-ononitrile 8a or ethyl ethoxymethylenecyanoacetate 8busing liquid-solid technique (dioxanK

2CO3TBAB) [19]

(Figure 13)In this reaction the yield of products was found to be a

temperature dependent Thus at low temperature (40∘C) itaffords the aminothiophene derivative 32a in high yield whileat high temperature hydroxythiophene 32b or 33b was thesolely product but in low yield

The reaction of pyridosultam 34 with 3-chloropropylthiocyanate under the experimental condition (tolueneaqNaOHTBAB) yielded the corresponding dihydrothiophenederivative 35 [24] (Figure 14)

4-Amino-5-cyano-2-hydroxy-3-furancarboxylic acid 37and compound 38were synthesized by treating 1-phenyl-35-pyrazolinedione 36 with bromomalononitrile under solid-liquid condition (dioxanK

2CO3TBAB) (Figure 15) [25]

The reaction pathway for the formation of unexpectedcompound 37was assumed to proceed via catalytic hydrolysisof compound 38 into the furan derivative 37 and phenylhydrazine [25] (Figure 16)

Condensation of salicylaldehyde 39 and its derivativeswith various esters of chloroacetic acids 40 in the pres-ence of TBAB led to the synthesis of benzo[b]furans 41under solventless and microwave irradiation technique [26](Figure 17)

Liquid-liquid PTC reaction of 4-chlorobutyronitrile 42with nonenolizable aldehydes 43 via sequence of an addi-tion cyclization reaction gave tetrahydrofuran-3-carbonitrilederivative 44 [27] (Figure 18)

Fused bis-aroylbenzodifurans 46 have been synthesizedby condensing 24-diacetyl resorcinol 45 with various p-substituted phenacyl bromides [28] (Figure 19)

Methyl or ethyl 3-amino-4-arylthiophenes-2-carbox-ylates 48andashf were synthesized by Thorpe reaction throughthe treatment of 3-hydroxy-2-arylacrylonitriles 47andashf andmethyl or ethyl thioglycolates with hydrochloric acid byusing different PTC conditions (solid-liquid or liquid-liquid)The solid-liquid PTC conditions using 18-crown-6 alongwith potassium hydroxide as a catalyst are the method withexcellent yieldsThe reactions were carried out in acetonitrileat RT [29] (Figure 20)

In Japp-Klingemann reaction the indole derivatives 52have been prepared as indicated in Figure 21 The additionof a suitable PTC catalyst to the reaction could signifi-cantly improve the reaction process Firstly aryl amines49 were diazotized and reacted under alkaline conditionsethyl 2-[2-(13-dioxo-13-dihydro-2H-isoindol-2-yl)ethyl]-3-oxobutanoate 50 using PTC-promoted Japp-Klingemann

disulphide or phenyl isothiocyanate 7 along with differentactive halocompounds under solid-liquid phase condition(dioxanK

2CO3TBAB) have been reported byAbdAllah and

El-Sayed [22] (Figure 12)2-Thiophenylidenes 31ndash33 were obtained through the

reaction of either malononitrile 5 or ethyl cyanoacetate 11with carbon disulphide along with ethoxymethylenemal-ononitrile 8a or ethyl ethoxymethylenecyanoacetate 8busing liquid-solid technique (dioxanK

2CO3TBAB) [19]

(Figure 13)In this reaction the yield of products was found to be a

temperature dependent Thus at low temperature (40∘C) itaffords the aminothiophene derivative 32a in high yield whileat high temperature hydroxythiophene 32b or 33b was thesolely product but in low yield

The reaction of pyridosultam 34 with 3-chloropropylthiocyanate under the experimental condition (tolueneaqNaOHTBAB) yielded the corresponding dihydrothiophenederivative 35 [24] (Figure 14)

4-Amino-5-cyano-2-hydroxy-3-furancarboxylic acid 37and compound 38were synthesized by treating 1-phenyl-35-pyrazolinedione 36 with bromomalononitrile under solid-liquid condition (dioxanK

2CO3TBAB) (Figure 15) [25]

The reaction pathway for the formation of unexpectedcompound 37was assumed to proceed via catalytic hydrolysisof compound 38 into the furan derivative 37 and phenylhydrazine [25] (Figure 16)

Condensation of salicylaldehyde 39 and its derivativeswith various esters of chloroacetic acids 40 in the pres-ence of TBAB led to the synthesis of benzo[b]furans 41under solventless and microwave irradiation technique [26](Figure 17)

Liquid-liquid PTC reaction of 4-chlorobutyronitrile 42with nonenolizable aldehydes 43 via sequence of an addi-tion cyclization reaction gave tetrahydrofuran-3-carbonitrilederivative 44 [27] (Figure 18)

Fused bis-aroylbenzodifurans 46 have been synthesizedby condensing 24-diacetyl resorcinol 45 with various p-substituted phenacyl bromides [28] (Figure 19)

Methyl or ethyl 3-amino-4-arylthiophenes-2-carbox-ylates 48andashf were synthesized by Thorpe reaction throughthe treatment of 3-hydroxy-2-arylacrylonitriles 47andashf andmethyl or ethyl thioglycolates with hydrochloric acid byusing different PTC conditions (solid-liquid or liquid-liquid)The solid-liquid PTC conditions using 18-crown-6 alongwith potassium hydroxide as a catalyst are the method withexcellent yieldsThe reactions were carried out in acetonitrileat RT [29] (Figure 20)

In Japp-Klingemann reaction the indole derivatives 52have been prepared as indicated in Figure 21 The additionof a suitable PTC catalyst to the reaction could signifi-cantly improve the reaction process Firstly aryl amines49 were diazotized and reacted under alkaline conditionsethyl 2-[2-(13-dioxo-13-dihydro-2H-isoindol-2-yl)ethyl]-3-oxobutanoate 50 using PTC-promoted Japp-Klingemann

N-Acetylated adenosine 292 was alkylated with ben-zyl bromide methyl iodide or allyl bromide in the pres-ence of tetrabutylammonium bromide as a PTC catalyst inCH2Cl2NaOH to give the correspondingN-alkyl-6-N-acetyl

adenosines 293a b [97] (Figure 104)N-alkylation reaction of adenine 294 took place with

different alkyl halides under the phase transfer conditionsusing microwave irradiation assistance [98] (Figure 105)

5-Aryloxymethyl-2-[(2-chlorophenyl)oxyacetylamido]-134-thiadiazoles 280 are synthesized from reaction of2-chlorophenyloxyacetyl chloride 297with 5-aryloxymethyl-2-amino-134-thiadiazoles 296under liquid-liquid conditionusing PEG-400 as a catalyst [99] (Figure 106)

N-Alkylation of 3-phenyl-2-thiohydantoin-5-arylidenederivative 299 has been carried out by using monohalocom-pounds such as allyl bromide as an alkylating agentThe reac-tionwas proceeded through nucleophilic displacement underPTC conditions of solid-liquid phases such as a mixture ofanhydrous potassium carbonate dioxane and TBAB as aheterogeneous catalyst The corresponding alkylated product300 was obtained in a good yield [42] (Figure 107)

Alkylation reaction of pyrazoles 301ndash303 with 2-chloroethylamine under the condition of phase-transfercatalysis was carried out in a liquid-solid system usingbenzene as an organic solvent and BTEAC as a catalystReaction between equimolar amounts of reactants led topoor yields (20ndash40) of the alkylated products 304ndash306 due

to concurrent dehydrochlorination of 2-chloroethylamineThe yield was considerably decreased in going from pyrazole(301) to 35 dimethylpyrazole (303) whereas the maximalyield of alkylated products (70ndash80) was obtained byusing one of the following ratios pyrazole NaOH 2-chloroethylamine 1 2 2 3-(5)methylpyrazole NaOH 2chloroethylamine 1 3 3 or 35-dimethylpyrazole NaOH 2-chloroethylamine 1 5 5 [100] (Figure 108)

In the N-alkylation reaction of pyrazole 3-(5)-meth-ylpyrazole and 35-dimethylpyrazole 301ndash303 with dichlo-roethane (DCE) the dehydrochlorination of the obtained 1-(120573-chloroethyl)pyrazoles has been carried out to give the cor-responding productsN-vinylpyrazoles 307ndash309 (Figure 9) inlow yield Attempts to carry out the reaction under standardconditions (waterbenzeneNaOHTEBAC) did not lead tothe desired result The yield of all products was sharplyincreased when benzene was replaced with an excess ofdichloroethane The reaction investigation showed that theease of alkylation depends strongly on the basicity of the pyra-zole The introduction of an electron-donating substituent(eg Me) into the molecule of pyrazole 301 increases theelectron density at the ldquopyrazolerdquo nitrogen atoms As a resultdeprotonation was hindered and the base was consumed inelimination of dichloroethane It must also be mentionedthat a 5- to 7-folds excess of dichloroethane was necessary toobtain optimal yields on alkylation of compounds 301ndash303[101] (Figure 109)

disulphide or phenyl isothiocyanate 7 along with differentactive halocompounds under solid-liquid phase condition(dioxanK

2CO3TBAB) have been reported byAbdAllah and

El-Sayed [22] (Figure 12)2-Thiophenylidenes 31ndash33 were obtained through the

reaction of either malononitrile 5 or ethyl cyanoacetate 11with carbon disulphide along with ethoxymethylenemal-ononitrile 8a or ethyl ethoxymethylenecyanoacetate 8busing liquid-solid technique (dioxanK

2CO3TBAB) [19]

(Figure 13)In this reaction the yield of products was found to be a

temperature dependent Thus at low temperature (40∘C) itaffords the aminothiophene derivative 32a in high yield whileat high temperature hydroxythiophene 32b or 33b was thesolely product but in low yield

The reaction of pyridosultam 34 with 3-chloropropylthiocyanate under the experimental condition (tolueneaqNaOHTBAB) yielded the corresponding dihydrothiophenederivative 35 [24] (Figure 14)

4-Amino-5-cyano-2-hydroxy-3-furancarboxylic acid 37and compound 38were synthesized by treating 1-phenyl-35-pyrazolinedione 36 with bromomalononitrile under solid-liquid condition (dioxanK

2CO3TBAB) (Figure 15) [25]

The reaction pathway for the formation of unexpectedcompound 37was assumed to proceed via catalytic hydrolysisof compound 38 into the furan derivative 37 and phenylhydrazine [25] (Figure 16)

Condensation of salicylaldehyde 39 and its derivativeswith various esters of chloroacetic acids 40 in the pres-ence of TBAB led to the synthesis of benzo[b]furans 41under solventless and microwave irradiation technique [26](Figure 17)

Liquid-liquid PTC reaction of 4-chlorobutyronitrile 42with nonenolizable aldehydes 43 via sequence of an addi-tion cyclization reaction gave tetrahydrofuran-3-carbonitrilederivative 44 [27] (Figure 18)

Fused bis-aroylbenzodifurans 46 have been synthesizedby condensing 24-diacetyl resorcinol 45 with various p-substituted phenacyl bromides [28] (Figure 19)

Methyl or ethyl 3-amino-4-arylthiophenes-2-carbox-ylates 48andashf were synthesized by Thorpe reaction throughthe treatment of 3-hydroxy-2-arylacrylonitriles 47andashf andmethyl or ethyl thioglycolates with hydrochloric acid byusing different PTC conditions (solid-liquid or liquid-liquid)The solid-liquid PTC conditions using 18-crown-6 alongwith potassium hydroxide as a catalyst are the method withexcellent yieldsThe reactions were carried out in acetonitrileat RT [29] (Figure 20)

In Japp-Klingemann reaction the indole derivatives 52have been prepared as indicated in Figure 21 The additionof a suitable PTC catalyst to the reaction could signifi-cantly improve the reaction process Firstly aryl amines49 were diazotized and reacted under alkaline conditionsethyl 2-[2-(13-dioxo-13-dihydro-2H-isoindol-2-yl)ethyl]-3-oxobutanoate 50 using PTC-promoted Japp-Klingemann

N-Acetylated adenosine 292 was alkylated with ben-zyl bromide methyl iodide or allyl bromide in the pres-ence of tetrabutylammonium bromide as a PTC catalyst inCH2Cl2NaOH to give the correspondingN-alkyl-6-N-acetyl

adenosines 293a b [97] (Figure 104)N-alkylation reaction of adenine 294 took place with

different alkyl halides under the phase transfer conditionsusing microwave irradiation assistance [98] (Figure 105)

5-Aryloxymethyl-2-[(2-chlorophenyl)oxyacetylamido]-134-thiadiazoles 280 are synthesized from reaction of2-chlorophenyloxyacetyl chloride 297with 5-aryloxymethyl-2-amino-134-thiadiazoles 296under liquid-liquid conditionusing PEG-400 as a catalyst [99] (Figure 106)

N-Alkylation of 3-phenyl-2-thiohydantoin-5-arylidenederivative 299 has been carried out by using monohalocom-pounds such as allyl bromide as an alkylating agentThe reac-tionwas proceeded through nucleophilic displacement underPTC conditions of solid-liquid phases such as a mixture ofanhydrous potassium carbonate dioxane and TBAB as aheterogeneous catalyst The corresponding alkylated product300 was obtained in a good yield [42] (Figure 107)

Alkylation reaction of pyrazoles 301ndash303 with 2-chloroethylamine under the condition of phase-transfercatalysis was carried out in a liquid-solid system usingbenzene as an organic solvent and BTEAC as a catalystReaction between equimolar amounts of reactants led topoor yields (20ndash40) of the alkylated products 304ndash306 due

to concurrent dehydrochlorination of 2-chloroethylamineThe yield was considerably decreased in going from pyrazole(301) to 35 dimethylpyrazole (303) whereas the maximalyield of alkylated products (70ndash80) was obtained byusing one of the following ratios pyrazole NaOH 2-chloroethylamine 1 2 2 3-(5)methylpyrazole NaOH 2chloroethylamine 1 3 3 or 35-dimethylpyrazole NaOH 2-chloroethylamine 1 5 5 [100] (Figure 108)

In the N-alkylation reaction of pyrazole 3-(5)-meth-ylpyrazole and 35-dimethylpyrazole 301ndash303 with dichlo-roethane (DCE) the dehydrochlorination of the obtained 1-(120573-chloroethyl)pyrazoles has been carried out to give the cor-responding productsN-vinylpyrazoles 307ndash309 (Figure 9) inlow yield Attempts to carry out the reaction under standardconditions (waterbenzeneNaOHTEBAC) did not lead tothe desired result The yield of all products was sharplyincreased when benzene was replaced with an excess ofdichloroethane The reaction investigation showed that theease of alkylation depends strongly on the basicity of the pyra-zole The introduction of an electron-donating substituent(eg Me) into the molecule of pyrazole 301 increases theelectron density at the ldquopyrazolerdquo nitrogen atoms As a resultdeprotonation was hindered and the base was consumed inelimination of dichloroethane It must also be mentionedthat a 5- to 7-folds excess of dichloroethane was necessary toobtain optimal yields on alkylation of compounds 301ndash303[101] (Figure 109)

disulphide or phenyl isothiocyanate 7 along with differentactive halocompounds under solid-liquid phase condition(dioxanK

2CO3TBAB) have been reported byAbdAllah and

El-Sayed [22] (Figure 12)2-Thiophenylidenes 31ndash33 were obtained through the

reaction of either malononitrile 5 or ethyl cyanoacetate 11with carbon disulphide along with ethoxymethylenemal-ononitrile 8a or ethyl ethoxymethylenecyanoacetate 8busing liquid-solid technique (dioxanK

2CO3TBAB) [19]

(Figure 13)In this reaction the yield of products was found to be a

temperature dependent Thus at low temperature (40∘C) itaffords the aminothiophene derivative 32a in high yield whileat high temperature hydroxythiophene 32b or 33b was thesolely product but in low yield

The reaction of pyridosultam 34 with 3-chloropropylthiocyanate under the experimental condition (tolueneaqNaOHTBAB) yielded the corresponding dihydrothiophenederivative 35 [24] (Figure 14)

4-Amino-5-cyano-2-hydroxy-3-furancarboxylic acid 37and compound 38were synthesized by treating 1-phenyl-35-pyrazolinedione 36 with bromomalononitrile under solid-liquid condition (dioxanK

2CO3TBAB) (Figure 15) [25]

The reaction pathway for the formation of unexpectedcompound 37was assumed to proceed via catalytic hydrolysisof compound 38 into the furan derivative 37 and phenylhydrazine [25] (Figure 16)

Condensation of salicylaldehyde 39 and its derivativeswith various esters of chloroacetic acids 40 in the pres-ence of TBAB led to the synthesis of benzo[b]furans 41under solventless and microwave irradiation technique [26](Figure 17)

N-Acetylated adenosine 292 was alkylated with ben-zyl bromide methyl iodide or allyl bromide in the pres-ence of tetrabutylammonium bromide as a PTC catalyst inCH2Cl2NaOH to give the correspondingN-alkyl-6-N-acetyl

adenosines 293a b [97] (Figure 104)N-alkylation reaction of adenine 294 took place with

different alkyl halides under the phase transfer conditionsusing microwave irradiation assistance [98] (Figure 105)

5-Aryloxymethyl-2-[(2-chlorophenyl)oxyacetylamido]-134-thiadiazoles 280 are synthesized from reaction of2-chlorophenyloxyacetyl chloride 297with 5-aryloxymethyl-2-amino-134-thiadiazoles 296under liquid-liquid conditionusing PEG-400 as a catalyst [99] (Figure 106)

N-Alkylation of 3-phenyl-2-thiohydantoin-5-arylidenederivative 299 has been carried out by using monohalocom-pounds such as allyl bromide as an alkylating agentThe reac-tionwas proceeded through nucleophilic displacement underPTC conditions of solid-liquid phases such as a mixture ofanhydrous potassium carbonate dioxane and TBAB as aheterogeneous catalyst The corresponding alkylated product300 was obtained in a good yield [42] (Figure 107)

Alkylation reaction of pyrazoles 301ndash303 with 2-chloroethylamine under the condition of phase-transfercatalysis was carried out in a liquid-solid system usingbenzene as an organic solvent and BTEAC as a catalystReaction between equimolar amounts of reactants led topoor yields (20ndash40) of the alkylated products 304ndash306 due

to concurrent dehydrochlorination of 2-chloroethylamineThe yield was considerably decreased in going from pyrazole(301) to 35 dimethylpyrazole (303) whereas the maximalyield of alkylated products (70ndash80) was obtained byusing one of the following ratios pyrazole NaOH 2-chloroethylamine 1 2 2 3-(5)methylpyrazole NaOH 2chloroethylamine 1 3 3 or 35-dimethylpyrazole NaOH 2-chloroethylamine 1 5 5 [100] (Figure 108)

In the N-alkylation reaction of pyrazole 3-(5)-meth-ylpyrazole and 35-dimethylpyrazole 301ndash303 with dichlo-roethane (DCE) the dehydrochlorination of the obtained 1-(120573-chloroethyl)pyrazoles has been carried out to give the cor-responding productsN-vinylpyrazoles 307ndash309 (Figure 9) inlow yield Attempts to carry out the reaction under standardconditions (waterbenzeneNaOHTEBAC) did not lead tothe desired result The yield of all products was sharplyincreased when benzene was replaced with an excess ofdichloroethane The reaction investigation showed that theease of alkylation depends strongly on the basicity of the pyra-zole The introduction of an electron-donating substituent(eg Me) into the molecule of pyrazole 301 increases theelectron density at the ldquopyrazolerdquo nitrogen atoms As a resultdeprotonation was hindered and the base was consumed inelimination of dichloroethane It must also be mentionedthat a 5- to 7-folds excess of dichloroethane was necessary toobtain optimal yields on alkylation of compounds 301ndash303[101] (Figure 109)

N-Acetylated adenosine 292 was alkylated with ben-zyl bromide methyl iodide or allyl bromide in the pres-ence of tetrabutylammonium bromide as a PTC catalyst inCH2Cl2NaOH to give the correspondingN-alkyl-6-N-acetyl

adenosines 293a b [97] (Figure 104)N-alkylation reaction of adenine 294 took place with

different alkyl halides under the phase transfer conditionsusing microwave irradiation assistance [98] (Figure 105)

5-Aryloxymethyl-2-[(2-chlorophenyl)oxyacetylamido]-134-thiadiazoles 280 are synthesized from reaction of2-chlorophenyloxyacetyl chloride 297with 5-aryloxymethyl-2-amino-134-thiadiazoles 296under liquid-liquid conditionusing PEG-400 as a catalyst [99] (Figure 106)

N-Alkylation of 3-phenyl-2-thiohydantoin-5-arylidenederivative 299 has been carried out by using monohalocom-pounds such as allyl bromide as an alkylating agentThe reac-tionwas proceeded through nucleophilic displacement underPTC conditions of solid-liquid phases such as a mixture ofanhydrous potassium carbonate dioxane and TBAB as aheterogeneous catalyst The corresponding alkylated product300 was obtained in a good yield [42] (Figure 107)

Alkylation reaction of pyrazoles 301ndash303 with 2-chloroethylamine under the condition of phase-transfercatalysis was carried out in a liquid-solid system usingbenzene as an organic solvent and BTEAC as a catalystReaction between equimolar amounts of reactants led topoor yields (20ndash40) of the alkylated products 304ndash306 due

to concurrent dehydrochlorination of 2-chloroethylamineThe yield was considerably decreased in going from pyrazole(301) to 35 dimethylpyrazole (303) whereas the maximalyield of alkylated products (70ndash80) was obtained byusing one of the following ratios pyrazole NaOH 2-chloroethylamine 1 2 2 3-(5)methylpyrazole NaOH 2chloroethylamine 1 3 3 or 35-dimethylpyrazole NaOH 2-chloroethylamine 1 5 5 [100] (Figure 108)

In the N-alkylation reaction of pyrazole 3-(5)-meth-ylpyrazole and 35-dimethylpyrazole 301ndash303 with dichlo-roethane (DCE) the dehydrochlorination of the obtained 1-(120573-chloroethyl)pyrazoles has been carried out to give the cor-responding productsN-vinylpyrazoles 307ndash309 (Figure 9) inlow yield Attempts to carry out the reaction under standardconditions (waterbenzeneNaOHTEBAC) did not lead tothe desired result The yield of all products was sharplyincreased when benzene was replaced with an excess ofdichloroethane The reaction investigation showed that theease of alkylation depends strongly on the basicity of the pyra-zole The introduction of an electron-donating substituent(eg Me) into the molecule of pyrazole 301 increases theelectron density at the ldquopyrazolerdquo nitrogen atoms As a resultdeprotonation was hindered and the base was consumed inelimination of dichloroethane It must also be mentionedthat a 5- to 7-folds excess of dichloroethane was necessary toobtain optimal yields on alkylation of compounds 301ndash303[101] (Figure 109)

N-Acetylated adenosine 292 was alkylated with ben-zyl bromide methyl iodide or allyl bromide in the pres-ence of tetrabutylammonium bromide as a PTC catalyst inCH2Cl2NaOH to give the correspondingN-alkyl-6-N-acetyl

adenosines 293a b [97] (Figure 104)N-alkylation reaction of adenine 294 took place with

different alkyl halides under the phase transfer conditionsusing microwave irradiation assistance [98] (Figure 105)

5-Aryloxymethyl-2-[(2-chlorophenyl)oxyacetylamido]-134-thiadiazoles 280 are synthesized from reaction of2-chlorophenyloxyacetyl chloride 297with 5-aryloxymethyl-2-amino-134-thiadiazoles 296under liquid-liquid conditionusing PEG-400 as a catalyst [99] (Figure 106)

N-Alkylation of 3-phenyl-2-thiohydantoin-5-arylidenederivative 299 has been carried out by using monohalocom-pounds such as allyl bromide as an alkylating agentThe reac-tionwas proceeded through nucleophilic displacement underPTC conditions of solid-liquid phases such as a mixture ofanhydrous potassium carbonate dioxane and TBAB as aheterogeneous catalyst The corresponding alkylated product300 was obtained in a good yield [42] (Figure 107)

Alkylation reaction of pyrazoles 301ndash303 with 2-chloroethylamine under the condition of phase-transfercatalysis was carried out in a liquid-solid system usingbenzene as an organic solvent and BTEAC as a catalystReaction between equimolar amounts of reactants led topoor yields (20ndash40) of the alkylated products 304ndash306 due

to concurrent dehydrochlorination of 2-chloroethylamineThe yield was considerably decreased in going from pyrazole(301) to 35 dimethylpyrazole (303) whereas the maximalyield of alkylated products (70ndash80) was obtained byusing one of the following ratios pyrazole NaOH 2-chloroethylamine 1 2 2 3-(5)methylpyrazole NaOH 2chloroethylamine 1 3 3 or 35-dimethylpyrazole NaOH 2-chloroethylamine 1 5 5 [100] (Figure 108)

In the N-alkylation reaction of pyrazole 3-(5)-meth-ylpyrazole and 35-dimethylpyrazole 301ndash303 with dichlo-roethane (DCE) the dehydrochlorination of the obtained 1-(120573-chloroethyl)pyrazoles has been carried out to give the cor-responding productsN-vinylpyrazoles 307ndash309 (Figure 9) inlow yield Attempts to carry out the reaction under standardconditions (waterbenzeneNaOHTEBAC) did not lead tothe desired result The yield of all products was sharplyincreased when benzene was replaced with an excess ofdichloroethane The reaction investigation showed that theease of alkylation depends strongly on the basicity of the pyra-zole The introduction of an electron-donating substituent(eg Me) into the molecule of pyrazole 301 increases theelectron density at the ldquopyrazolerdquo nitrogen atoms As a resultdeprotonation was hindered and the base was consumed inelimination of dichloroethane It must also be mentionedthat a 5- to 7-folds excess of dichloroethane was necessary toobtain optimal yields on alkylation of compounds 301ndash303[101] (Figure 109)

N-Acetylated adenosine 292 was alkylated with ben-zyl bromide methyl iodide or allyl bromide in the pres-ence of tetrabutylammonium bromide as a PTC catalyst inCH2Cl2NaOH to give the correspondingN-alkyl-6-N-acetyl

adenosines 293a b [97] (Figure 104)N-alkylation reaction of adenine 294 took place with

different alkyl halides under the phase transfer conditionsusing microwave irradiation assistance [98] (Figure 105)

5-Aryloxymethyl-2-[(2-chlorophenyl)oxyacetylamido]-134-thiadiazoles 280 are synthesized from reaction of2-chlorophenyloxyacetyl chloride 297with 5-aryloxymethyl-2-amino-134-thiadiazoles 296under liquid-liquid conditionusing PEG-400 as a catalyst [99] (Figure 106)

N-Alkylation of 3-phenyl-2-thiohydantoin-5-arylidenederivative 299 has been carried out by using monohalocom-pounds such as allyl bromide as an alkylating agentThe reac-tionwas proceeded through nucleophilic displacement underPTC conditions of solid-liquid phases such as a mixture ofanhydrous potassium carbonate dioxane and TBAB as aheterogeneous catalyst The corresponding alkylated product300 was obtained in a good yield [42] (Figure 107)

Alkylation reaction of pyrazoles 301ndash303 with 2-chloroethylamine under the condition of phase-transfercatalysis was carried out in a liquid-solid system usingbenzene as an organic solvent and BTEAC as a catalystReaction between equimolar amounts of reactants led topoor yields (20ndash40) of the alkylated products 304ndash306 due

to concurrent dehydrochlorination of 2-chloroethylamineThe yield was considerably decreased in going from pyrazole(301) to 35 dimethylpyrazole (303) whereas the maximalyield of alkylated products (70ndash80) was obtained byusing one of the following ratios pyrazole NaOH 2-chloroethylamine 1 2 2 3-(5)methylpyrazole NaOH 2chloroethylamine 1 3 3 or 35-dimethylpyrazole NaOH 2-chloroethylamine 1 5 5 [100] (Figure 108)

In the N-alkylation reaction of pyrazole 3-(5)-meth-ylpyrazole and 35-dimethylpyrazole 301ndash303 with dichlo-roethane (DCE) the dehydrochlorination of the obtained 1-(120573-chloroethyl)pyrazoles has been carried out to give the cor-responding productsN-vinylpyrazoles 307ndash309 (Figure 9) inlow yield Attempts to carry out the reaction under standardconditions (waterbenzeneNaOHTEBAC) did not lead tothe desired result The yield of all products was sharplyincreased when benzene was replaced with an excess ofdichloroethane The reaction investigation showed that theease of alkylation depends strongly on the basicity of the pyra-zole The introduction of an electron-donating substituent(eg Me) into the molecule of pyrazole 301 increases theelectron density at the ldquopyrazolerdquo nitrogen atoms As a resultdeprotonation was hindered and the base was consumed inelimination of dichloroethane It must also be mentionedthat a 5- to 7-folds excess of dichloroethane was necessary toobtain optimal yields on alkylation of compounds 301ndash303[101] (Figure 109)

N-Acetylated adenosine 292 was alkylated with ben-zyl bromide methyl iodide or allyl bromide in the pres-ence of tetrabutylammonium bromide as a PTC catalyst inCH2Cl2NaOH to give the correspondingN-alkyl-6-N-acetyl

adenosines 293a b [97] (Figure 104)N-alkylation reaction of adenine 294 took place with

different alkyl halides under the phase transfer conditionsusing microwave irradiation assistance [98] (Figure 105)

N-Alkylation of 3-phenyl-2-thiohydantoin-5-arylidenederivative 299 has been carried out by using monohalocom-pounds such as allyl bromide as an alkylating agentThe reac-tionwas proceeded through nucleophilic displacement underPTC conditions of solid-liquid phases such as a mixture ofanhydrous potassium carbonate dioxane and TBAB as aheterogeneous catalyst The corresponding alkylated product300 was obtained in a good yield [42] (Figure 107)

Alkylation reaction of pyrazoles 301ndash303 with 2-chloroethylamine under the condition of phase-transfercatalysis was carried out in a liquid-solid system usingbenzene as an organic solvent and BTEAC as a catalystReaction between equimolar amounts of reactants led topoor yields (20ndash40) of the alkylated products 304ndash306 due

to concurrent dehydrochlorination of 2-chloroethylamineThe yield was considerably decreased in going from pyrazole(301) to 35 dimethylpyrazole (303) whereas the maximalyield of alkylated products (70ndash80) was obtained byusing one of the following ratios pyrazole NaOH 2-chloroethylamine 1 2 2 3-(5)methylpyrazole NaOH 2chloroethylamine 1 3 3 or 35-dimethylpyrazole NaOH 2-chloroethylamine 1 5 5 [100] (Figure 108)

In the N-alkylation reaction of pyrazole 3-(5)-meth-ylpyrazole and 35-dimethylpyrazole 301ndash303 with dichlo-roethane (DCE) the dehydrochlorination of the obtained 1-(120573-chloroethyl)pyrazoles has been carried out to give the cor-responding productsN-vinylpyrazoles 307ndash309 (Figure 9) inlow yield Attempts to carry out the reaction under standardconditions (waterbenzeneNaOHTEBAC) did not lead tothe desired result The yield of all products was sharplyincreased when benzene was replaced with an excess ofdichloroethane The reaction investigation showed that theease of alkylation depends strongly on the basicity of the pyra-zole The introduction of an electron-donating substituent(eg Me) into the molecule of pyrazole 301 increases theelectron density at the ldquopyrazolerdquo nitrogen atoms As a resultdeprotonation was hindered and the base was consumed inelimination of dichloroethane It must also be mentionedthat a 5- to 7-folds excess of dichloroethane was necessary toobtain optimal yields on alkylation of compounds 301ndash303[101] (Figure 109)

N-Acetylated adenosine 292 was alkylated with ben-zyl bromide methyl iodide or allyl bromide in the pres-ence of tetrabutylammonium bromide as a PTC catalyst inCH2Cl2NaOH to give the correspondingN-alkyl-6-N-acetyl

adenosines 293a b [97] (Figure 104)N-alkylation reaction of adenine 294 took place with

different alkyl halides under the phase transfer conditionsusing microwave irradiation assistance [98] (Figure 105)

5-Aryloxymethyl-2-[(2-chlorophenyl)oxyacetylamido]-134-thiadiazoles 280 are synthesized from reaction of2-chlorophenyloxyacetyl chloride 297with 5-aryloxymethyl-2-amino-134-thiadiazoles 296under liquid-liquid conditionusing PEG-400 as a catalyst [99] (Figure 106)

N-Alkylation of 3-phenyl-2-thiohydantoin-5-arylidenederivative 299 has been carried out by using monohalocom-pounds such as allyl bromide as an alkylating agentThe reac-tionwas proceeded through nucleophilic displacement underPTC conditions of solid-liquid phases such as a mixture ofanhydrous potassium carbonate dioxane and TBAB as aheterogeneous catalyst The corresponding alkylated product300 was obtained in a good yield [42] (Figure 107)

Alkylation reaction of pyrazoles 301ndash303 with 2-chloroethylamine under the condition of phase-transfercatalysis was carried out in a liquid-solid system usingbenzene as an organic solvent and BTEAC as a catalystReaction between equimolar amounts of reactants led topoor yields (20ndash40) of the alkylated products 304ndash306 due

to concurrent dehydrochlorination of 2-chloroethylamineThe yield was considerably decreased in going from pyrazole(301) to 35 dimethylpyrazole (303) whereas the maximalyield of alkylated products (70ndash80) was obtained byusing one of the following ratios pyrazole NaOH 2-chloroethylamine 1 2 2 3-(5)methylpyrazole NaOH 2chloroethylamine 1 3 3 or 35-dimethylpyrazole NaOH 2-chloroethylamine 1 5 5 [100] (Figure 108)

In the N-alkylation reaction of pyrazole 3-(5)-meth-ylpyrazole and 35-dimethylpyrazole 301ndash303 with dichlo-roethane (DCE) the dehydrochlorination of the obtained 1-(120573-chloroethyl)pyrazoles has been carried out to give the cor-responding productsN-vinylpyrazoles 307ndash309 (Figure 9) inlow yield Attempts to carry out the reaction under standardconditions (waterbenzeneNaOHTEBAC) did not lead tothe desired result The yield of all products was sharplyincreased when benzene was replaced with an excess ofdichloroethane The reaction investigation showed that theease of alkylation depends strongly on the basicity of the pyra-zole The introduction of an electron-donating substituent(eg Me) into the molecule of pyrazole 301 increases theelectron density at the ldquopyrazolerdquo nitrogen atoms As a resultdeprotonation was hindered and the base was consumed inelimination of dichloroethane It must also be mentionedthat a 5- to 7-folds excess of dichloroethane was necessary toobtain optimal yields on alkylation of compounds 301ndash303[101] (Figure 109)

via the reaction of acetylacetone 108 with CS2and ethyl

chloroacetate in 1 1 2 molar ratio under the same experi-mental conditions [46] (Figure 43)

Thieno(23-b)pyrrole derivative 110 was obtained bytreating malononitrile 5 with phenyl isothiocyante 7 andethyl chloroacetate in 1 1 2 molar ratio using (benzeneK2CO3TBAB) as a phase transfer catalyst [23] (Figure 44)

Likewise under the same conditions 3-methyl-1-phenyl-2-pyrazoline-5-one 63 was subjected to react with CS

2and

chloroacetonitrile in 1 1 1 molar ratio where 6-cyano-46-dihydro-3-methyl-1-phenylthieno(34-c)pyrazol-4-thione 111was obtained in good yield [23] (Figure 45)

N-Acetylated adenosine 292 was alkylated with ben-zyl bromide methyl iodide or allyl bromide in the pres-ence of tetrabutylammonium bromide as a PTC catalyst inCH2Cl2NaOH to give the correspondingN-alkyl-6-N-acetyl

adenosines 293a b [97] (Figure 104)N-alkylation reaction of adenine 294 took place with

different alkyl halides under the phase transfer conditionsusing microwave irradiation assistance [98] (Figure 105)

5-Aryloxymethyl-2-[(2-chlorophenyl)oxyacetylamido]-134-thiadiazoles 280 are synthesized from reaction of2-chlorophenyloxyacetyl chloride 297with 5-aryloxymethyl-2-amino-134-thiadiazoles 296under liquid-liquid conditionusing PEG-400 as a catalyst [99] (Figure 106)

N-Alkylation of 3-phenyl-2-thiohydantoin-5-arylidenederivative 299 has been carried out by using monohalocom-pounds such as allyl bromide as an alkylating agentThe reac-tionwas proceeded through nucleophilic displacement underPTC conditions of solid-liquid phases such as a mixture ofanhydrous potassium carbonate dioxane and TBAB as aheterogeneous catalyst The corresponding alkylated product300 was obtained in a good yield [42] (Figure 107)

Alkylation reaction of pyrazoles 301ndash303 with 2-chloroethylamine under the condition of phase-transfercatalysis was carried out in a liquid-solid system usingbenzene as an organic solvent and BTEAC as a catalystReaction between equimolar amounts of reactants led topoor yields (20ndash40) of the alkylated products 304ndash306 due

to concurrent dehydrochlorination of 2-chloroethylamineThe yield was considerably decreased in going from pyrazole(301) to 35 dimethylpyrazole (303) whereas the maximalyield of alkylated products (70ndash80) was obtained byusing one of the following ratios pyrazole NaOH 2-chloroethylamine 1 2 2 3-(5)methylpyrazole NaOH 2chloroethylamine 1 3 3 or 35-dimethylpyrazole NaOH 2-chloroethylamine 1 5 5 [100] (Figure 108)

In the N-alkylation reaction of pyrazole 3-(5)-meth-ylpyrazole and 35-dimethylpyrazole 301ndash303 with dichlo-roethane (DCE) the dehydrochlorination of the obtained 1-(120573-chloroethyl)pyrazoles has been carried out to give the cor-responding productsN-vinylpyrazoles 307ndash309 (Figure 9) inlow yield Attempts to carry out the reaction under standardconditions (waterbenzeneNaOHTEBAC) did not lead tothe desired result The yield of all products was sharplyincreased when benzene was replaced with an excess ofdichloroethane The reaction investigation showed that theease of alkylation depends strongly on the basicity of the pyra-zole The introduction of an electron-donating substituent(eg Me) into the molecule of pyrazole 301 increases theelectron density at the ldquopyrazolerdquo nitrogen atoms As a resultdeprotonation was hindered and the base was consumed inelimination of dichloroethane It must also be mentionedthat a 5- to 7-folds excess of dichloroethane was necessary toobtain optimal yields on alkylation of compounds 301ndash303[101] (Figure 109)

N-Acetylated adenosine 292 was alkylated with ben-zyl bromide methyl iodide or allyl bromide in the pres-ence of tetrabutylammonium bromide as a PTC catalyst inCH2Cl2NaOH to give the correspondingN-alkyl-6-N-acetyl

adenosines 293a b [97] (Figure 104)N-alkylation reaction of adenine 294 took place with

different alkyl halides under the phase transfer conditionsusing microwave irradiation assistance [98] (Figure 105)

5-Aryloxymethyl-2-[(2-chlorophenyl)oxyacetylamido]-134-thiadiazoles 280 are synthesized from reaction of2-chlorophenyloxyacetyl chloride 297with 5-aryloxymethyl-2-amino-134-thiadiazoles 296under liquid-liquid conditionusing PEG-400 as a catalyst [99] (Figure 106)

N-Alkylation of 3-phenyl-2-thiohydantoin-5-arylidenederivative 299 has been carried out by using monohalocom-pounds such as allyl bromide as an alkylating agentThe reac-tionwas proceeded through nucleophilic displacement underPTC conditions of solid-liquid phases such as a mixture ofanhydrous potassium carbonate dioxane and TBAB as aheterogeneous catalyst The corresponding alkylated product300 was obtained in a good yield [42] (Figure 107)

Alkylation reaction of pyrazoles 301ndash303 with 2-chloroethylamine under the condition of phase-transfercatalysis was carried out in a liquid-solid system usingbenzene as an organic solvent and BTEAC as a catalystReaction between equimolar amounts of reactants led topoor yields (20ndash40) of the alkylated products 304ndash306 due

to concurrent dehydrochlorination of 2-chloroethylamineThe yield was considerably decreased in going from pyrazole(301) to 35 dimethylpyrazole (303) whereas the maximalyield of alkylated products (70ndash80) was obtained byusing one of the following ratios pyrazole NaOH 2-chloroethylamine 1 2 2 3-(5)methylpyrazole NaOH 2chloroethylamine 1 3 3 or 35-dimethylpyrazole NaOH 2-chloroethylamine 1 5 5 [100] (Figure 108)

In the N-alkylation reaction of pyrazole 3-(5)-meth-ylpyrazole and 35-dimethylpyrazole 301ndash303 with dichlo-roethane (DCE) the dehydrochlorination of the obtained 1-(120573-chloroethyl)pyrazoles has been carried out to give the cor-responding productsN-vinylpyrazoles 307ndash309 (Figure 9) inlow yield Attempts to carry out the reaction under standardconditions (waterbenzeneNaOHTEBAC) did not lead tothe desired result The yield of all products was sharplyincreased when benzene was replaced with an excess ofdichloroethane The reaction investigation showed that theease of alkylation depends strongly on the basicity of the pyra-zole The introduction of an electron-donating substituent(eg Me) into the molecule of pyrazole 301 increases theelectron density at the ldquopyrazolerdquo nitrogen atoms As a resultdeprotonation was hindered and the base was consumed inelimination of dichloroethane It must also be mentionedthat a 5- to 7-folds excess of dichloroethane was necessary toobtain optimal yields on alkylation of compounds 301ndash303[101] (Figure 109)

N-Acetylated adenosine 292 was alkylated with ben-zyl bromide methyl iodide or allyl bromide in the pres-ence of tetrabutylammonium bromide as a PTC catalyst inCH2Cl2NaOH to give the correspondingN-alkyl-6-N-acetyl

adenosines 293a b [97] (Figure 104)N-alkylation reaction of adenine 294 took place with

different alkyl halides under the phase transfer conditionsusing microwave irradiation assistance [98] (Figure 105)

5-Aryloxymethyl-2-[(2-chlorophenyl)oxyacetylamido]-134-thiadiazoles 280 are synthesized from reaction of2-chlorophenyloxyacetyl chloride 297with 5-aryloxymethyl-2-amino-134-thiadiazoles 296under liquid-liquid conditionusing PEG-400 as a catalyst [99] (Figure 106)

N-Alkylation of 3-phenyl-2-thiohydantoin-5-arylidenederivative 299 has been carried out by using monohalocom-pounds such as allyl bromide as an alkylating agentThe reac-tionwas proceeded through nucleophilic displacement underPTC conditions of solid-liquid phases such as a mixture ofanhydrous potassium carbonate dioxane and TBAB as aheterogeneous catalyst The corresponding alkylated product300 was obtained in a good yield [42] (Figure 107)

Alkylation reaction of pyrazoles 301ndash303 with 2-chloroethylamine under the condition of phase-transfercatalysis was carried out in a liquid-solid system usingbenzene as an organic solvent and BTEAC as a catalystReaction between equimolar amounts of reactants led topoor yields (20ndash40) of the alkylated products 304ndash306 due

to concurrent dehydrochlorination of 2-chloroethylamineThe yield was considerably decreased in going from pyrazole(301) to 35 dimethylpyrazole (303) whereas the maximalyield of alkylated products (70ndash80) was obtained byusing one of the following ratios pyrazole NaOH 2-chloroethylamine 1 2 2 3-(5)methylpyrazole NaOH 2chloroethylamine 1 3 3 or 35-dimethylpyrazole NaOH 2-chloroethylamine 1 5 5 [100] (Figure 108)

In the N-alkylation reaction of pyrazole 3-(5)-meth-ylpyrazole and 35-dimethylpyrazole 301ndash303 with dichlo-roethane (DCE) the dehydrochlorination of the obtained 1-(120573-chloroethyl)pyrazoles has been carried out to give the cor-responding productsN-vinylpyrazoles 307ndash309 (Figure 9) inlow yield Attempts to carry out the reaction under standardconditions (waterbenzeneNaOHTEBAC) did not lead tothe desired result The yield of all products was sharplyincreased when benzene was replaced with an excess ofdichloroethane The reaction investigation showed that theease of alkylation depends strongly on the basicity of the pyra-zole The introduction of an electron-donating substituent(eg Me) into the molecule of pyrazole 301 increases theelectron density at the ldquopyrazolerdquo nitrogen atoms As a resultdeprotonation was hindered and the base was consumed inelimination of dichloroethane It must also be mentionedthat a 5- to 7-folds excess of dichloroethane was necessary toobtain optimal yields on alkylation of compounds 301ndash303[101] (Figure 109)

Alkylation reaction of pyrazoles 301ndash303 with 2-chloroethylamine under the condition of phase-transfercatalysis was carried out in a liquid-solid system usingbenzene as an organic solvent and BTEAC as a catalystReaction between equimolar amounts of reactants led topoor yields (20ndash40) of the alkylated products 304ndash306 due

to concurrent dehydrochlorination of 2-chloroethylamineThe yield was considerably decreased in going from pyrazole(301) to 35 dimethylpyrazole (303) whereas the maximalyield of alkylated products (70ndash80) was obtained byusing one of the following ratios pyrazole NaOH 2-chloroethylamine 1 2 2 3-(5)methylpyrazole NaOH 2chloroethylamine 1 3 3 or 35-dimethylpyrazole NaOH 2-chloroethylamine 1 5 5 [100] (Figure 108)

In the N-alkylation reaction of pyrazole 3-(5)-meth-ylpyrazole and 35-dimethylpyrazole 301ndash303 with dichlo-roethane (DCE) the dehydrochlorination of the obtained 1-(120573-chloroethyl)pyrazoles has been carried out to give the cor-responding productsN-vinylpyrazoles 307ndash309 (Figure 9) inlow yield Attempts to carry out the reaction under standardconditions (waterbenzeneNaOHTEBAC) did not lead tothe desired result The yield of all products was sharplyincreased when benzene was replaced with an excess ofdichloroethane The reaction investigation showed that theease of alkylation depends strongly on the basicity of the pyra-zole The introduction of an electron-donating substituent(eg Me) into the molecule of pyrazole 301 increases theelectron density at the ldquopyrazolerdquo nitrogen atoms As a resultdeprotonation was hindered and the base was consumed inelimination of dichloroethane It must also be mentionedthat a 5- to 7-folds excess of dichloroethane was necessary toobtain optimal yields on alkylation of compounds 301ndash303[101] (Figure 109)

to concurrent dehydrochlorination of 2-chloroethylamineThe yield was considerably decreased in going from pyrazole(301) to 35 dimethylpyrazole (303) whereas the maximalyield of alkylated products (70ndash80) was obtained byusing one of the following ratios pyrazole NaOH 2-chloroethylamine 1 2 2 3-(5)methylpyrazole NaOH 2chloroethylamine 1 3 3 or 35-dimethylpyrazole NaOH 2-chloroethylamine 1 5 5 [100] (Figure 108)

to concurrent dehydrochlorination of 2-chloroethylamineThe yield was considerably decreased in going from pyrazole(301) to 35 dimethylpyrazole (303) whereas the maximalyield of alkylated products (70ndash80) was obtained byusing one of the following ratios pyrazole NaOH 2-chloroethylamine 1 2 2 3-(5)methylpyrazole NaOH 2chloroethylamine 1 3 3 or 35-dimethylpyrazole NaOH 2-chloroethylamine 1 5 5 [100] (Figure 108)

N-Acetylated adenosine 292 was alkylated with ben-zyl bromide methyl iodide or allyl bromide in the pres-ence of tetrabutylammonium bromide as a PTC catalyst inCH2Cl2NaOH to give the correspondingN-alkyl-6-N-acetyl

adenosines 293a b [97] (Figure 104)N-alkylation reaction of adenine 294 took place with

different alkyl halides under the phase transfer conditionsusing microwave irradiation assistance [98] (Figure 105)

5-Aryloxymethyl-2-[(2-chlorophenyl)oxyacetylamido]-134-thiadiazoles 280 are synthesized from reaction of2-chlorophenyloxyacetyl chloride 297with 5-aryloxymethyl-2-amino-134-thiadiazoles 296under liquid-liquid conditionusing PEG-400 as a catalyst [99] (Figure 106)

N-Alkylation of 3-phenyl-2-thiohydantoin-5-arylidenederivative 299 has been carried out by using monohalocom-pounds such as allyl bromide as an alkylating agentThe reac-tionwas proceeded through nucleophilic displacement underPTC conditions of solid-liquid phases such as a mixture ofanhydrous potassium carbonate dioxane and TBAB as aheterogeneous catalyst The corresponding alkylated product300 was obtained in a good yield [42] (Figure 107)

Alkylation reaction of pyrazoles 301ndash303 with 2-chloroethylamine under the condition of phase-transfercatalysis was carried out in a liquid-solid system usingbenzene as an organic solvent and BTEAC as a catalystReaction between equimolar amounts of reactants led topoor yields (20ndash40) of the alkylated products 304ndash306 due

to concurrent dehydrochlorination of 2-chloroethylamineThe yield was considerably decreased in going from pyrazole(301) to 35 dimethylpyrazole (303) whereas the maximalyield of alkylated products (70ndash80) was obtained byusing one of the following ratios pyrazole NaOH 2-chloroethylamine 1 2 2 3-(5)methylpyrazole NaOH 2chloroethylamine 1 3 3 or 35-dimethylpyrazole NaOH 2-chloroethylamine 1 5 5 [100] (Figure 108)

In the N-alkylation reaction of pyrazole 3-(5)-meth-ylpyrazole and 35-dimethylpyrazole 301ndash303 with dichlo-roethane (DCE) the dehydrochlorination of the obtained 1-(120573-chloroethyl)pyrazoles has been carried out to give the cor-responding productsN-vinylpyrazoles 307ndash309 (Figure 9) inlow yield Attempts to carry out the reaction under standardconditions (waterbenzeneNaOHTEBAC) did not lead tothe desired result The yield of all products was sharplyincreased when benzene was replaced with an excess ofdichloroethane The reaction investigation showed that theease of alkylation depends strongly on the basicity of the pyra-zole The introduction of an electron-donating substituent(eg Me) into the molecule of pyrazole 301 increases theelectron density at the ldquopyrazolerdquo nitrogen atoms As a resultdeprotonation was hindered and the base was consumed inelimination of dichloroethane It must also be mentionedthat a 5- to 7-folds excess of dichloroethane was necessary toobtain optimal yields on alkylation of compounds 301ndash303[101] (Figure 109)

N-Acetylated adenosine 292 was alkylated with ben-zyl bromide methyl iodide or allyl bromide in the pres-ence of tetrabutylammonium bromide as a PTC catalyst inCH2Cl2NaOH to give the correspondingN-alkyl-6-N-acetyl

adenosines 293a b [97] (Figure 104)N-alkylation reaction of adenine 294 took place with

different alkyl halides under the phase transfer conditionsusing microwave irradiation assistance [98] (Figure 105)

5-Aryloxymethyl-2-[(2-chlorophenyl)oxyacetylamido]-134-thiadiazoles 280 are synthesized from reaction of2-chlorophenyloxyacetyl chloride 297with 5-aryloxymethyl-2-amino-134-thiadiazoles 296under liquid-liquid conditionusing PEG-400 as a catalyst [99] (Figure 106)

N-Alkylation of 3-phenyl-2-thiohydantoin-5-arylidenederivative 299 has been carried out by using monohalocom-pounds such as allyl bromide as an alkylating agentThe reac-tionwas proceeded through nucleophilic displacement underPTC conditions of solid-liquid phases such as a mixture ofanhydrous potassium carbonate dioxane and TBAB as aheterogeneous catalyst The corresponding alkylated product300 was obtained in a good yield [42] (Figure 107)

Alkylation reaction of pyrazoles 301ndash303 with 2-chloroethylamine under the condition of phase-transfercatalysis was carried out in a liquid-solid system usingbenzene as an organic solvent and BTEAC as a catalystReaction between equimolar amounts of reactants led topoor yields (20ndash40) of the alkylated products 304ndash306 due

to concurrent dehydrochlorination of 2-chloroethylamineThe yield was considerably decreased in going from pyrazole(301) to 35 dimethylpyrazole (303) whereas the maximalyield of alkylated products (70ndash80) was obtained byusing one of the following ratios pyrazole NaOH 2-chloroethylamine 1 2 2 3-(5)methylpyrazole NaOH 2chloroethylamine 1 3 3 or 35-dimethylpyrazole NaOH 2-chloroethylamine 1 5 5 [100] (Figure 108)

In the N-alkylation reaction of pyrazole 3-(5)-meth-ylpyrazole and 35-dimethylpyrazole 301ndash303 with dichlo-roethane (DCE) the dehydrochlorination of the obtained 1-(120573-chloroethyl)pyrazoles has been carried out to give the cor-responding productsN-vinylpyrazoles 307ndash309 (Figure 9) inlow yield Attempts to carry out the reaction under standardconditions (waterbenzeneNaOHTEBAC) did not lead tothe desired result The yield of all products was sharplyincreased when benzene was replaced with an excess ofdichloroethane The reaction investigation showed that theease of alkylation depends strongly on the basicity of the pyra-zole The introduction of an electron-donating substituent(eg Me) into the molecule of pyrazole 301 increases theelectron density at the ldquopyrazolerdquo nitrogen atoms As a resultdeprotonation was hindered and the base was consumed inelimination of dichloroethane It must also be mentionedthat a 5- to 7-folds excess of dichloroethane was necessary toobtain optimal yields on alkylation of compounds 301ndash303[101] (Figure 109)

oxazolo-(15)benzodiazepin derivative 177 [57] (Figure 68)When 7-(methoxyimino)-4-methyl-2H-chromene-28-

(7H)-dione 178 was treated with crotyltriphenylphospho-nium chloride (CTPPCl) 179 (CH

2Cl2Li(OH)CTPPCl) the

corresponding chromeno-oxazolone 180 was obtained inwhich one of the reactants (CTPPCl) acts also as a catalyst[62] (Figure 69)

The triazepine 181 was treated with 12-dibromoethaneunder liquid-liquid technique (benzeneaq NaOHBTEACl)to afford the corresponding 6-methyl-8-phenyl-23-dihy-dro[13]thiazolo[32-d][124]triazepine-5(6H)-thione 182[33] (Figure 70)

etate 11 using solid-liquid technique (dioxanK2CO3TBAB)

yielded the corresponding spiro-13-dithiolane derivatives189 [25] (Figure 72)

1-Benzoyl-33-dibromo-4-phenyl-(15)benzodiazepin-2-one 190 was reacted with different dinucleophiles underPTC condition (dioxanK

2CO3TBAB) to furnish the corre-

sponding spiroheterocycles attached to benzodiazepine moi-ety 191ndash193 [64] (Figure 73)

N-Acetylated adenosine 292 was alkylated with ben-zyl bromide methyl iodide or allyl bromide in the pres-ence of tetrabutylammonium bromide as a PTC catalyst inCH2Cl2NaOH to give the correspondingN-alkyl-6-N-acetyl

adenosines 293a b [97] (Figure 104)N-alkylation reaction of adenine 294 took place with

different alkyl halides under the phase transfer conditionsusing microwave irradiation assistance [98] (Figure 105)

5-Aryloxymethyl-2-[(2-chlorophenyl)oxyacetylamido]-134-thiadiazoles 280 are synthesized from reaction of2-chlorophenyloxyacetyl chloride 297with 5-aryloxymethyl-2-amino-134-thiadiazoles 296under liquid-liquid conditionusing PEG-400 as a catalyst [99] (Figure 106)

N-Alkylation of 3-phenyl-2-thiohydantoin-5-arylidenederivative 299 has been carried out by using monohalocom-pounds such as allyl bromide as an alkylating agentThe reac-tionwas proceeded through nucleophilic displacement underPTC conditions of solid-liquid phases such as a mixture ofanhydrous potassium carbonate dioxane and TBAB as aheterogeneous catalyst The corresponding alkylated product300 was obtained in a good yield [42] (Figure 107)

Alkylation reaction of pyrazoles 301ndash303 with 2-chloroethylamine under the condition of phase-transfercatalysis was carried out in a liquid-solid system usingbenzene as an organic solvent and BTEAC as a catalystReaction between equimolar amounts of reactants led topoor yields (20ndash40) of the alkylated products 304ndash306 due

to concurrent dehydrochlorination of 2-chloroethylamineThe yield was considerably decreased in going from pyrazole(301) to 35 dimethylpyrazole (303) whereas the maximalyield of alkylated products (70ndash80) was obtained byusing one of the following ratios pyrazole NaOH 2-chloroethylamine 1 2 2 3-(5)methylpyrazole NaOH 2chloroethylamine 1 3 3 or 35-dimethylpyrazole NaOH 2-chloroethylamine 1 5 5 [100] (Figure 108)

In the N-alkylation reaction of pyrazole 3-(5)-meth-ylpyrazole and 35-dimethylpyrazole 301ndash303 with dichlo-roethane (DCE) the dehydrochlorination of the obtained 1-(120573-chloroethyl)pyrazoles has been carried out to give the cor-responding productsN-vinylpyrazoles 307ndash309 (Figure 9) inlow yield Attempts to carry out the reaction under standardconditions (waterbenzeneNaOHTEBAC) did not lead tothe desired result The yield of all products was sharplyincreased when benzene was replaced with an excess ofdichloroethane The reaction investigation showed that theease of alkylation depends strongly on the basicity of the pyra-zole The introduction of an electron-donating substituent(eg Me) into the molecule of pyrazole 301 increases theelectron density at the ldquopyrazolerdquo nitrogen atoms As a resultdeprotonation was hindered and the base was consumed inelimination of dichloroethane It must also be mentionedthat a 5- to 7-folds excess of dichloroethane was necessary toobtain optimal yields on alkylation of compounds 301ndash303[101] (Figure 109)

to concurrent dehydrochlorination of 2-chloroethylamineThe yield was considerably decreased in going from pyrazole(301) to 35 dimethylpyrazole (303) whereas the maximalyield of alkylated products (70ndash80) was obtained byusing one of the following ratios pyrazole NaOH 2-chloroethylamine 1 2 2 3-(5)methylpyrazole NaOH 2chloroethylamine 1 3 3 or 35-dimethylpyrazole NaOH 2-chloroethylamine 1 5 5 [100] (Figure 108)

In the N-alkylation reaction of pyrazole 3-(5)-meth-ylpyrazole and 35-dimethylpyrazole 301ndash303 with dichlo-roethane (DCE) the dehydrochlorination of the obtained 1-(120573-chloroethyl)pyrazoles has been carried out to give the cor-responding productsN-vinylpyrazoles 307ndash309 (Figure 9) inlow yield Attempts to carry out the reaction under standardconditions (waterbenzeneNaOHTEBAC) did not lead tothe desired result The yield of all products was sharplyincreased when benzene was replaced with an excess ofdichloroethane The reaction investigation showed that theease of alkylation depends strongly on the basicity of the pyra-zole The introduction of an electron-donating substituent(eg Me) into the molecule of pyrazole 301 increases theelectron density at the ldquopyrazolerdquo nitrogen atoms As a resultdeprotonation was hindered and the base was consumed inelimination of dichloroethane It must also be mentionedthat a 5- to 7-folds excess of dichloroethane was necessary toobtain optimal yields on alkylation of compounds 301ndash303[101] (Figure 109)

N-Acetylated adenosine 292 was alkylated with ben-zyl bromide methyl iodide or allyl bromide in the pres-ence of tetrabutylammonium bromide as a PTC catalyst inCH2Cl2NaOH to give the correspondingN-alkyl-6-N-acetyl

adenosines 293a b [97] (Figure 104)N-alkylation reaction of adenine 294 took place with

different alkyl halides under the phase transfer conditionsusing microwave irradiation assistance [98] (Figure 105)

5-Aryloxymethyl-2-[(2-chlorophenyl)oxyacetylamido]-134-thiadiazoles 280 are synthesized from reaction of2-chlorophenyloxyacetyl chloride 297with 5-aryloxymethyl-2-amino-134-thiadiazoles 296under liquid-liquid conditionusing PEG-400 as a catalyst [99] (Figure 106)

N-Alkylation of 3-phenyl-2-thiohydantoin-5-arylidenederivative 299 has been carried out by using monohalocom-pounds such as allyl bromide as an alkylating agentThe reac-tionwas proceeded through nucleophilic displacement underPTC conditions of solid-liquid phases such as a mixture ofanhydrous potassium carbonate dioxane and TBAB as aheterogeneous catalyst The corresponding alkylated product300 was obtained in a good yield [42] (Figure 107)

Alkylation reaction of pyrazoles 301ndash303 with 2-chloroethylamine under the condition of phase-transfercatalysis was carried out in a liquid-solid system usingbenzene as an organic solvent and BTEAC as a catalystReaction between equimolar amounts of reactants led topoor yields (20ndash40) of the alkylated products 304ndash306 due

to concurrent dehydrochlorination of 2-chloroethylamineThe yield was considerably decreased in going from pyrazole(301) to 35 dimethylpyrazole (303) whereas the maximalyield of alkylated products (70ndash80) was obtained byusing one of the following ratios pyrazole NaOH 2-chloroethylamine 1 2 2 3-(5)methylpyrazole NaOH 2chloroethylamine 1 3 3 or 35-dimethylpyrazole NaOH 2-chloroethylamine 1 5 5 [100] (Figure 108)

In the N-alkylation reaction of pyrazole 3-(5)-meth-ylpyrazole and 35-dimethylpyrazole 301ndash303 with dichlo-roethane (DCE) the dehydrochlorination of the obtained 1-(120573-chloroethyl)pyrazoles has been carried out to give the cor-responding productsN-vinylpyrazoles 307ndash309 (Figure 9) inlow yield Attempts to carry out the reaction under standardconditions (waterbenzeneNaOHTEBAC) did not lead tothe desired result The yield of all products was sharplyincreased when benzene was replaced with an excess ofdichloroethane The reaction investigation showed that theease of alkylation depends strongly on the basicity of the pyra-zole The introduction of an electron-donating substituent(eg Me) into the molecule of pyrazole 301 increases theelectron density at the ldquopyrazolerdquo nitrogen atoms As a resultdeprotonation was hindered and the base was consumed inelimination of dichloroethane It must also be mentionedthat a 5- to 7-folds excess of dichloroethane was necessary toobtain optimal yields on alkylation of compounds 301ndash303[101] (Figure 109)

N-Acetylated adenosine 292 was alkylated with ben-zyl bromide methyl iodide or allyl bromide in the pres-ence of tetrabutylammonium bromide as a PTC catalyst inCH2Cl2NaOH to give the correspondingN-alkyl-6-N-acetyl

adenosines 293a b [97] (Figure 104)N-alkylation reaction of adenine 294 took place with

different alkyl halides under the phase transfer conditionsusing microwave irradiation assistance [98] (Figure 105)

5-Aryloxymethyl-2-[(2-chlorophenyl)oxyacetylamido]-134-thiadiazoles 280 are synthesized from reaction of2-chlorophenyloxyacetyl chloride 297with 5-aryloxymethyl-2-amino-134-thiadiazoles 296under liquid-liquid conditionusing PEG-400 as a catalyst [99] (Figure 106)

N-Alkylation of 3-phenyl-2-thiohydantoin-5-arylidenederivative 299 has been carried out by using monohalocom-pounds such as allyl bromide as an alkylating agentThe reac-tionwas proceeded through nucleophilic displacement underPTC conditions of solid-liquid phases such as a mixture ofanhydrous potassium carbonate dioxane and TBAB as aheterogeneous catalyst The corresponding alkylated product300 was obtained in a good yield [42] (Figure 107)

Alkylation reaction of pyrazoles 301ndash303 with 2-chloroethylamine under the condition of phase-transfercatalysis was carried out in a liquid-solid system usingbenzene as an organic solvent and BTEAC as a catalystReaction between equimolar amounts of reactants led topoor yields (20ndash40) of the alkylated products 304ndash306 due

to concurrent dehydrochlorination of 2-chloroethylamineThe yield was considerably decreased in going from pyrazole(301) to 35 dimethylpyrazole (303) whereas the maximalyield of alkylated products (70ndash80) was obtained byusing one of the following ratios pyrazole NaOH 2-chloroethylamine 1 2 2 3-(5)methylpyrazole NaOH 2chloroethylamine 1 3 3 or 35-dimethylpyrazole NaOH 2-chloroethylamine 1 5 5 [100] (Figure 108)

In the N-alkylation reaction of pyrazole 3-(5)-meth-ylpyrazole and 35-dimethylpyrazole 301ndash303 with dichlo-roethane (DCE) the dehydrochlorination of the obtained 1-(120573-chloroethyl)pyrazoles has been carried out to give the cor-responding productsN-vinylpyrazoles 307ndash309 (Figure 9) inlow yield Attempts to carry out the reaction under standardconditions (waterbenzeneNaOHTEBAC) did not lead tothe desired result The yield of all products was sharplyincreased when benzene was replaced with an excess ofdichloroethane The reaction investigation showed that theease of alkylation depends strongly on the basicity of the pyra-zole The introduction of an electron-donating substituent(eg Me) into the molecule of pyrazole 301 increases theelectron density at the ldquopyrazolerdquo nitrogen atoms As a resultdeprotonation was hindered and the base was consumed inelimination of dichloroethane It must also be mentionedthat a 5- to 7-folds excess of dichloroethane was necessary toobtain optimal yields on alkylation of compounds 301ndash303[101] (Figure 109)

N-Acetylated adenosine 292 was alkylated with ben-zyl bromide methyl iodide or allyl bromide in the pres-ence of tetrabutylammonium bromide as a PTC catalyst inCH2Cl2NaOH to give the correspondingN-alkyl-6-N-acetyl

adenosines 293a b [97] (Figure 104)N-alkylation reaction of adenine 294 took place with

different alkyl halides under the phase transfer conditionsusing microwave irradiation assistance [98] (Figure 105)

5-Aryloxymethyl-2-[(2-chlorophenyl)oxyacetylamido]-134-thiadiazoles 280 are synthesized from reaction of2-chlorophenyloxyacetyl chloride 297with 5-aryloxymethyl-2-amino-134-thiadiazoles 296under liquid-liquid conditionusing PEG-400 as a catalyst [99] (Figure 106)

N-Alkylation of 3-phenyl-2-thiohydantoin-5-arylidenederivative 299 has been carried out by using monohalocom-pounds such as allyl bromide as an alkylating agentThe reac-tionwas proceeded through nucleophilic displacement underPTC conditions of solid-liquid phases such as a mixture ofanhydrous potassium carbonate dioxane and TBAB as aheterogeneous catalyst The corresponding alkylated product300 was obtained in a good yield [42] (Figure 107)

Alkylation reaction of pyrazoles 301ndash303 with 2-chloroethylamine under the condition of phase-transfercatalysis was carried out in a liquid-solid system usingbenzene as an organic solvent and BTEAC as a catalystReaction between equimolar amounts of reactants led topoor yields (20ndash40) of the alkylated products 304ndash306 due

to concurrent dehydrochlorination of 2-chloroethylamineThe yield was considerably decreased in going from pyrazole(301) to 35 dimethylpyrazole (303) whereas the maximalyield of alkylated products (70ndash80) was obtained byusing one of the following ratios pyrazole NaOH 2-chloroethylamine 1 2 2 3-(5)methylpyrazole NaOH 2chloroethylamine 1 3 3 or 35-dimethylpyrazole NaOH 2-chloroethylamine 1 5 5 [100] (Figure 108)

In the N-alkylation reaction of pyrazole 3-(5)-meth-ylpyrazole and 35-dimethylpyrazole 301ndash303 with dichlo-roethane (DCE) the dehydrochlorination of the obtained 1-(120573-chloroethyl)pyrazoles has been carried out to give the cor-responding productsN-vinylpyrazoles 307ndash309 (Figure 9) inlow yield Attempts to carry out the reaction under standardconditions (waterbenzeneNaOHTEBAC) did not lead tothe desired result The yield of all products was sharplyincreased when benzene was replaced with an excess ofdichloroethane The reaction investigation showed that theease of alkylation depends strongly on the basicity of the pyra-zole The introduction of an electron-donating substituent(eg Me) into the molecule of pyrazole 301 increases theelectron density at the ldquopyrazolerdquo nitrogen atoms As a resultdeprotonation was hindered and the base was consumed inelimination of dichloroethane It must also be mentionedthat a 5- to 7-folds excess of dichloroethane was necessary toobtain optimal yields on alkylation of compounds 301ndash303[101] (Figure 109)

ifluromethane under liquid-liquid condition (CH2Cl2aq

NaOHBzTEACl) to give 1-difluoromethyl-2-phenylbenz-imidazole 259 [75] (Figure 96)

The N-alkylated imidazole derivatives 262 were achievedby treating compounds 260 with different alkyl bromide

261 under PTC condition (TBABK2CO3CH3CN) [89]

(Figure 97)Competitive N versus O benzylation of 55-dimethyl-

3-isoxazolidinone 263 using (CH2Cl2NaOH) using dif-

ferent PTC catalysts was studied The ratio of N-O-alkylations 264a264bwas 23 formost cases of catalysts [90](Figure 98)

Alkylation of 124-triazole 265 and benzotriazole 267has been performed either in basic media under solventfree PTC conditions or in absence of base by conventionaland microwave heating Several parameters affecting theselectivity have been studied [91] Arylation of 1H-123-benzotriazole 267 with activated aryl halides in a medium ofaromatic hydrocarbons under PTC condition using inorganicbases and acetyltrimethylammonium bromide as a phasetransfer catalyst was studied Both N(1)- and N(2)-arylatedproducts 269a and 269b respectively have been isolatedTheir ratio has depended on the nature of the employed baseand the reactivity of arylating agent [92] (Figure 99)

systems provided a convenient route to prepare bis-tetrazolonderivatives 290 and 4-bromoalkyl derivatives 291 [96](Figure 103)

N-Acetylated adenosine 292 was alkylated with ben-zyl bromide methyl iodide or allyl bromide in the pres-ence of tetrabutylammonium bromide as a PTC catalyst inCH2Cl2NaOH to give the correspondingN-alkyl-6-N-acetyl

adenosines 293a b [97] (Figure 104)N-alkylation reaction of adenine 294 took place with

different alkyl halides under the phase transfer conditionsusing microwave irradiation assistance [98] (Figure 105)

5-Aryloxymethyl-2-[(2-chlorophenyl)oxyacetylamido]-134-thiadiazoles 280 are synthesized from reaction of2-chlorophenyloxyacetyl chloride 297with 5-aryloxymethyl-2-amino-134-thiadiazoles 296under liquid-liquid conditionusing PEG-400 as a catalyst [99] (Figure 106)

N-Alkylation of 3-phenyl-2-thiohydantoin-5-arylidenederivative 299 has been carried out by using monohalocom-pounds such as allyl bromide as an alkylating agentThe reac-tionwas proceeded through nucleophilic displacement underPTC conditions of solid-liquid phases such as a mixture ofanhydrous potassium carbonate dioxane and TBAB as aheterogeneous catalyst The corresponding alkylated product300 was obtained in a good yield [42] (Figure 107)

Alkylation reaction of pyrazoles 301ndash303 with 2-chloroethylamine under the condition of phase-transfercatalysis was carried out in a liquid-solid system usingbenzene as an organic solvent and BTEAC as a catalystReaction between equimolar amounts of reactants led topoor yields (20ndash40) of the alkylated products 304ndash306 due

to concurrent dehydrochlorination of 2-chloroethylamineThe yield was considerably decreased in going from pyrazole(301) to 35 dimethylpyrazole (303) whereas the maximalyield of alkylated products (70ndash80) was obtained byusing one of the following ratios pyrazole NaOH 2-chloroethylamine 1 2 2 3-(5)methylpyrazole NaOH 2chloroethylamine 1 3 3 or 35-dimethylpyrazole NaOH 2-chloroethylamine 1 5 5 [100] (Figure 108)

In the N-alkylation reaction of pyrazole 3-(5)-meth-ylpyrazole and 35-dimethylpyrazole 301ndash303 with dichlo-roethane (DCE) the dehydrochlorination of the obtained 1-(120573-chloroethyl)pyrazoles has been carried out to give the cor-responding productsN-vinylpyrazoles 307ndash309 (Figure 9) inlow yield Attempts to carry out the reaction under standardconditions (waterbenzeneNaOHTEBAC) did not lead tothe desired result The yield of all products was sharplyincreased when benzene was replaced with an excess ofdichloroethane The reaction investigation showed that theease of alkylation depends strongly on the basicity of the pyra-zole The introduction of an electron-donating substituent(eg Me) into the molecule of pyrazole 301 increases theelectron density at the ldquopyrazolerdquo nitrogen atoms As a resultdeprotonation was hindered and the base was consumed inelimination of dichloroethane It must also be mentionedthat a 5- to 7-folds excess of dichloroethane was necessary toobtain optimal yields on alkylation of compounds 301ndash303[101] (Figure 109)

methyl iodide or benzyl chloride respectively in a satisfac-tory yield [86] (Figure 93)

Different imidazole compounds such as 2-methylim-idazole 252a and 2-methyl-4-nitro imidazole 252b werereacted with different alkyl bromides 253 in an alkalinemedia at reflux temperature and in the presence of tetraethy-lammonium iodide (TEAI) or TBAB as PTC and afforded 1-alkyl imidazole derivatives 254 which exhibited a variety ofvaluable pharmacological properties [87] (Figure 94)

N-Alkyl-2-acetylbenzimidazoles 257 have been obtainedin over 90 yield by alkylating 2-acetylbenzimidazole 256using the PTCmixture of (CH

3CNK

2CO3TEBACl) at room

temperature [88] (Figure 95)2-Phenylbenzimidazole 258 was alkylated with chlorod-

ifluromethane under liquid-liquid condition (CH2Cl2aq

NaOHBzTEACl) to give 1-difluoromethyl-2-phenylbenz-imidazole 259 [75] (Figure 96)

The N-alkylated imidazole derivatives 262 were achievedby treating compounds 260 with different alkyl bromide

261 under PTC condition (TBABK2CO3CH3CN) [89]

(Figure 97)Competitive N versus O benzylation of 55-dimethyl-

3-isoxazolidinone 263 using (CH2Cl2NaOH) using dif-

ferent PTC catalysts was studied The ratio of N-O-alkylations 264a264bwas 23 formost cases of catalysts [90](Figure 98)

Alkylation of 124-triazole 265 and benzotriazole 267has been performed either in basic media under solventfree PTC conditions or in absence of base by conventionaland microwave heating Several parameters affecting theselectivity have been studied [91] Arylation of 1H-123-benzotriazole 267 with activated aryl halides in a medium ofaromatic hydrocarbons under PTC condition using inorganicbases and acetyltrimethylammonium bromide as a phasetransfer catalyst was studied Both N(1)- and N(2)-arylatedproducts 269a and 269b respectively have been isolatedTheir ratio has depended on the nature of the employed baseand the reactivity of arylating agent [92] (Figure 99)

N-Acetylated adenosine 292 was alkylated with ben-zyl bromide methyl iodide or allyl bromide in the pres-ence of tetrabutylammonium bromide as a PTC catalyst inCH2Cl2NaOH to give the correspondingN-alkyl-6-N-acetyl

adenosines 293a b [97] (Figure 104)N-alkylation reaction of adenine 294 took place with

different alkyl halides under the phase transfer conditionsusing microwave irradiation assistance [98] (Figure 105)

5-Aryloxymethyl-2-[(2-chlorophenyl)oxyacetylamido]-134-thiadiazoles 280 are synthesized from reaction of2-chlorophenyloxyacetyl chloride 297with 5-aryloxymethyl-2-amino-134-thiadiazoles 296under liquid-liquid conditionusing PEG-400 as a catalyst [99] (Figure 106)

N-Alkylation of 3-phenyl-2-thiohydantoin-5-arylidenederivative 299 has been carried out by using monohalocom-pounds such as allyl bromide as an alkylating agentThe reac-tionwas proceeded through nucleophilic displacement underPTC conditions of solid-liquid phases such as a mixture ofanhydrous potassium carbonate dioxane and TBAB as aheterogeneous catalyst The corresponding alkylated product300 was obtained in a good yield [42] (Figure 107)

Alkylation reaction of pyrazoles 301ndash303 with 2-chloroethylamine under the condition of phase-transfercatalysis was carried out in a liquid-solid system usingbenzene as an organic solvent and BTEAC as a catalystReaction between equimolar amounts of reactants led topoor yields (20ndash40) of the alkylated products 304ndash306 due

to concurrent dehydrochlorination of 2-chloroethylamineThe yield was considerably decreased in going from pyrazole(301) to 35 dimethylpyrazole (303) whereas the maximalyield of alkylated products (70ndash80) was obtained byusing one of the following ratios pyrazole NaOH 2-chloroethylamine 1 2 2 3-(5)methylpyrazole NaOH 2chloroethylamine 1 3 3 or 35-dimethylpyrazole NaOH 2-chloroethylamine 1 5 5 [100] (Figure 108)

In the N-alkylation reaction of pyrazole 3-(5)-meth-ylpyrazole and 35-dimethylpyrazole 301ndash303 with dichlo-roethane (DCE) the dehydrochlorination of the obtained 1-(120573-chloroethyl)pyrazoles has been carried out to give the cor-responding productsN-vinylpyrazoles 307ndash309 (Figure 9) inlow yield Attempts to carry out the reaction under standardconditions (waterbenzeneNaOHTEBAC) did not lead tothe desired result The yield of all products was sharplyincreased when benzene was replaced with an excess ofdichloroethane The reaction investigation showed that theease of alkylation depends strongly on the basicity of the pyra-zole The introduction of an electron-donating substituent(eg Me) into the molecule of pyrazole 301 increases theelectron density at the ldquopyrazolerdquo nitrogen atoms As a resultdeprotonation was hindered and the base was consumed inelimination of dichloroethane It must also be mentionedthat a 5- to 7-folds excess of dichloroethane was necessary toobtain optimal yields on alkylation of compounds 301ndash303[101] (Figure 109)

N-Acetylated adenosine 292 was alkylated with ben-zyl bromide methyl iodide or allyl bromide in the pres-ence of tetrabutylammonium bromide as a PTC catalyst inCH2Cl2NaOH to give the correspondingN-alkyl-6-N-acetyl

adenosines 293a b [97] (Figure 104)N-alkylation reaction of adenine 294 took place with

different alkyl halides under the phase transfer conditionsusing microwave irradiation assistance [98] (Figure 105)

5-Aryloxymethyl-2-[(2-chlorophenyl)oxyacetylamido]-134-thiadiazoles 280 are synthesized from reaction of2-chlorophenyloxyacetyl chloride 297with 5-aryloxymethyl-2-amino-134-thiadiazoles 296under liquid-liquid conditionusing PEG-400 as a catalyst [99] (Figure 106)

N-Alkylation of 3-phenyl-2-thiohydantoin-5-arylidenederivative 299 has been carried out by using monohalocom-pounds such as allyl bromide as an alkylating agentThe reac-tionwas proceeded through nucleophilic displacement underPTC conditions of solid-liquid phases such as a mixture ofanhydrous potassium carbonate dioxane and TBAB as aheterogeneous catalyst The corresponding alkylated product300 was obtained in a good yield [42] (Figure 107)

Alkylation reaction of pyrazoles 301ndash303 with 2-chloroethylamine under the condition of phase-transfercatalysis was carried out in a liquid-solid system usingbenzene as an organic solvent and BTEAC as a catalystReaction between equimolar amounts of reactants led topoor yields (20ndash40) of the alkylated products 304ndash306 due

to concurrent dehydrochlorination of 2-chloroethylamineThe yield was considerably decreased in going from pyrazole(301) to 35 dimethylpyrazole (303) whereas the maximalyield of alkylated products (70ndash80) was obtained byusing one of the following ratios pyrazole NaOH 2-chloroethylamine 1 2 2 3-(5)methylpyrazole NaOH 2chloroethylamine 1 3 3 or 35-dimethylpyrazole NaOH 2-chloroethylamine 1 5 5 [100] (Figure 108)

In the N-alkylation reaction of pyrazole 3-(5)-meth-ylpyrazole and 35-dimethylpyrazole 301ndash303 with dichlo-roethane (DCE) the dehydrochlorination of the obtained 1-(120573-chloroethyl)pyrazoles has been carried out to give the cor-responding productsN-vinylpyrazoles 307ndash309 (Figure 9) inlow yield Attempts to carry out the reaction under standardconditions (waterbenzeneNaOHTEBAC) did not lead tothe desired result The yield of all products was sharplyincreased when benzene was replaced with an excess ofdichloroethane The reaction investigation showed that theease of alkylation depends strongly on the basicity of the pyra-zole The introduction of an electron-donating substituent(eg Me) into the molecule of pyrazole 301 increases theelectron density at the ldquopyrazolerdquo nitrogen atoms As a resultdeprotonation was hindered and the base was consumed inelimination of dichloroethane It must also be mentionedthat a 5- to 7-folds excess of dichloroethane was necessary toobtain optimal yields on alkylation of compounds 301ndash303[101] (Figure 109)

N-Acetylated adenosine 292 was alkylated with ben-zyl bromide methyl iodide or allyl bromide in the pres-ence of tetrabutylammonium bromide as a PTC catalyst inCH2Cl2NaOH to give the correspondingN-alkyl-6-N-acetyl

adenosines 293a b [97] (Figure 104)N-alkylation reaction of adenine 294 took place with

different alkyl halides under the phase transfer conditionsusing microwave irradiation assistance [98] (Figure 105)

5-Aryloxymethyl-2-[(2-chlorophenyl)oxyacetylamido]-134-thiadiazoles 280 are synthesized from reaction of2-chlorophenyloxyacetyl chloride 297with 5-aryloxymethyl-2-amino-134-thiadiazoles 296under liquid-liquid conditionusing PEG-400 as a catalyst [99] (Figure 106)

N-Alkylation of 3-phenyl-2-thiohydantoin-5-arylidenederivative 299 has been carried out by using monohalocom-pounds such as allyl bromide as an alkylating agentThe reac-tionwas proceeded through nucleophilic displacement underPTC conditions of solid-liquid phases such as a mixture ofanhydrous potassium carbonate dioxane and TBAB as aheterogeneous catalyst The corresponding alkylated product300 was obtained in a good yield [42] (Figure 107)

Alkylation reaction of pyrazoles 301ndash303 with 2-chloroethylamine under the condition of phase-transfercatalysis was carried out in a liquid-solid system usingbenzene as an organic solvent and BTEAC as a catalystReaction between equimolar amounts of reactants led topoor yields (20ndash40) of the alkylated products 304ndash306 due

to concurrent dehydrochlorination of 2-chloroethylamineThe yield was considerably decreased in going from pyrazole(301) to 35 dimethylpyrazole (303) whereas the maximalyield of alkylated products (70ndash80) was obtained byusing one of the following ratios pyrazole NaOH 2-chloroethylamine 1 2 2 3-(5)methylpyrazole NaOH 2chloroethylamine 1 3 3 or 35-dimethylpyrazole NaOH 2-chloroethylamine 1 5 5 [100] (Figure 108)

In the N-alkylation reaction of pyrazole 3-(5)-meth-ylpyrazole and 35-dimethylpyrazole 301ndash303 with dichlo-roethane (DCE) the dehydrochlorination of the obtained 1-(120573-chloroethyl)pyrazoles has been carried out to give the cor-responding productsN-vinylpyrazoles 307ndash309 (Figure 9) inlow yield Attempts to carry out the reaction under standardconditions (waterbenzeneNaOHTEBAC) did not lead tothe desired result The yield of all products was sharplyincreased when benzene was replaced with an excess ofdichloroethane The reaction investigation showed that theease of alkylation depends strongly on the basicity of the pyra-zole The introduction of an electron-donating substituent(eg Me) into the molecule of pyrazole 301 increases theelectron density at the ldquopyrazolerdquo nitrogen atoms As a resultdeprotonation was hindered and the base was consumed inelimination of dichloroethane It must also be mentionedthat a 5- to 7-folds excess of dichloroethane was necessary toobtain optimal yields on alkylation of compounds 301ndash303[101] (Figure 109)

N-Acetylated adenosine 292 was alkylated with ben-zyl bromide methyl iodide or allyl bromide in the pres-ence of tetrabutylammonium bromide as a PTC catalyst inCH2Cl2NaOH to give the correspondingN-alkyl-6-N-acetyl

adenosines 293a b [97] (Figure 104)N-alkylation reaction of adenine 294 took place with

different alkyl halides under the phase transfer conditionsusing microwave irradiation assistance [98] (Figure 105)

5-Aryloxymethyl-2-[(2-chlorophenyl)oxyacetylamido]-134-thiadiazoles 280 are synthesized from reaction of2-chlorophenyloxyacetyl chloride 297with 5-aryloxymethyl-2-amino-134-thiadiazoles 296under liquid-liquid conditionusing PEG-400 as a catalyst [99] (Figure 106)

N-Alkylation of 3-phenyl-2-thiohydantoin-5-arylidenederivative 299 has been carried out by using monohalocom-pounds such as allyl bromide as an alkylating agentThe reac-tionwas proceeded through nucleophilic displacement underPTC conditions of solid-liquid phases such as a mixture ofanhydrous potassium carbonate dioxane and TBAB as aheterogeneous catalyst The corresponding alkylated product300 was obtained in a good yield [42] (Figure 107)

Alkylation reaction of pyrazoles 301ndash303 with 2-chloroethylamine under the condition of phase-transfercatalysis was carried out in a liquid-solid system usingbenzene as an organic solvent and BTEAC as a catalystReaction between equimolar amounts of reactants led topoor yields (20ndash40) of the alkylated products 304ndash306 due

to concurrent dehydrochlorination of 2-chloroethylamineThe yield was considerably decreased in going from pyrazole(301) to 35 dimethylpyrazole (303) whereas the maximalyield of alkylated products (70ndash80) was obtained byusing one of the following ratios pyrazole NaOH 2-chloroethylamine 1 2 2 3-(5)methylpyrazole NaOH 2chloroethylamine 1 3 3 or 35-dimethylpyrazole NaOH 2-chloroethylamine 1 5 5 [100] (Figure 108)

In the N-alkylation reaction of pyrazole 3-(5)-meth-ylpyrazole and 35-dimethylpyrazole 301ndash303 with dichlo-roethane (DCE) the dehydrochlorination of the obtained 1-(120573-chloroethyl)pyrazoles has been carried out to give the cor-responding productsN-vinylpyrazoles 307ndash309 (Figure 9) inlow yield Attempts to carry out the reaction under standardconditions (waterbenzeneNaOHTEBAC) did not lead tothe desired result The yield of all products was sharplyincreased when benzene was replaced with an excess ofdichloroethane The reaction investigation showed that theease of alkylation depends strongly on the basicity of the pyra-zole The introduction of an electron-donating substituent(eg Me) into the molecule of pyrazole 301 increases theelectron density at the ldquopyrazolerdquo nitrogen atoms As a resultdeprotonation was hindered and the base was consumed inelimination of dichloroethane It must also be mentionedthat a 5- to 7-folds excess of dichloroethane was necessary toobtain optimal yields on alkylation of compounds 301ndash303[101] (Figure 109)

N-Acetylated adenosine 292 was alkylated with ben-zyl bromide methyl iodide or allyl bromide in the pres-ence of tetrabutylammonium bromide as a PTC catalyst inCH2Cl2NaOH to give the correspondingN-alkyl-6-N-acetyl

adenosines 293a b [97] (Figure 104)N-alkylation reaction of adenine 294 took place with

different alkyl halides under the phase transfer conditionsusing microwave irradiation assistance [98] (Figure 105)

5-Aryloxymethyl-2-[(2-chlorophenyl)oxyacetylamido]-134-thiadiazoles 280 are synthesized from reaction of2-chlorophenyloxyacetyl chloride 297with 5-aryloxymethyl-2-amino-134-thiadiazoles 296under liquid-liquid conditionusing PEG-400 as a catalyst [99] (Figure 106)

N-Alkylation of 3-phenyl-2-thiohydantoin-5-arylidenederivative 299 has been carried out by using monohalocom-pounds such as allyl bromide as an alkylating agentThe reac-tionwas proceeded through nucleophilic displacement underPTC conditions of solid-liquid phases such as a mixture ofanhydrous potassium carbonate dioxane and TBAB as aheterogeneous catalyst The corresponding alkylated product300 was obtained in a good yield [42] (Figure 107)

Alkylation reaction of pyrazoles 301ndash303 with 2-chloroethylamine under the condition of phase-transfercatalysis was carried out in a liquid-solid system usingbenzene as an organic solvent and BTEAC as a catalystReaction between equimolar amounts of reactants led topoor yields (20ndash40) of the alkylated products 304ndash306 due

to concurrent dehydrochlorination of 2-chloroethylamineThe yield was considerably decreased in going from pyrazole(301) to 35 dimethylpyrazole (303) whereas the maximalyield of alkylated products (70ndash80) was obtained byusing one of the following ratios pyrazole NaOH 2-chloroethylamine 1 2 2 3-(5)methylpyrazole NaOH 2chloroethylamine 1 3 3 or 35-dimethylpyrazole NaOH 2-chloroethylamine 1 5 5 [100] (Figure 108)

In the N-alkylation reaction of pyrazole 3-(5)-meth-ylpyrazole and 35-dimethylpyrazole 301ndash303 with dichlo-roethane (DCE) the dehydrochlorination of the obtained 1-(120573-chloroethyl)pyrazoles has been carried out to give the cor-responding productsN-vinylpyrazoles 307ndash309 (Figure 9) inlow yield Attempts to carry out the reaction under standardconditions (waterbenzeneNaOHTEBAC) did not lead tothe desired result The yield of all products was sharplyincreased when benzene was replaced with an excess ofdichloroethane The reaction investigation showed that theease of alkylation depends strongly on the basicity of the pyra-zole The introduction of an electron-donating substituent(eg Me) into the molecule of pyrazole 301 increases theelectron density at the ldquopyrazolerdquo nitrogen atoms As a resultdeprotonation was hindered and the base was consumed inelimination of dichloroethane It must also be mentionedthat a 5- to 7-folds excess of dichloroethane was necessary toobtain optimal yields on alkylation of compounds 301ndash303[101] (Figure 109)

systems provided a convenient route to prepare bis-tetrazolonderivatives 290 and 4-bromoalkyl derivatives 291 [96](Figure 103)

N-Acetylated adenosine 292 was alkylated with ben-zyl bromide methyl iodide or allyl bromide in the pres-ence of tetrabutylammonium bromide as a PTC catalyst inCH2Cl2NaOH to give the correspondingN-alkyl-6-N-acetyl

adenosines 293a b [97] (Figure 104)N-alkylation reaction of adenine 294 took place with

different alkyl halides under the phase transfer conditionsusing microwave irradiation assistance [98] (Figure 105)

5-Aryloxymethyl-2-[(2-chlorophenyl)oxyacetylamido]-134-thiadiazoles 280 are synthesized from reaction of2-chlorophenyloxyacetyl chloride 297with 5-aryloxymethyl-2-amino-134-thiadiazoles 296under liquid-liquid conditionusing PEG-400 as a catalyst [99] (Figure 106)

N-Alkylation of 3-phenyl-2-thiohydantoin-5-arylidenederivative 299 has been carried out by using monohalocom-pounds such as allyl bromide as an alkylating agentThe reac-tionwas proceeded through nucleophilic displacement underPTC conditions of solid-liquid phases such as a mixture ofanhydrous potassium carbonate dioxane and TBAB as aheterogeneous catalyst The corresponding alkylated product300 was obtained in a good yield [42] (Figure 107)

Alkylation reaction of pyrazoles 301ndash303 with 2-chloroethylamine under the condition of phase-transfercatalysis was carried out in a liquid-solid system usingbenzene as an organic solvent and BTEAC as a catalystReaction between equimolar amounts of reactants led topoor yields (20ndash40) of the alkylated products 304ndash306 due

to concurrent dehydrochlorination of 2-chloroethylamineThe yield was considerably decreased in going from pyrazole(301) to 35 dimethylpyrazole (303) whereas the maximalyield of alkylated products (70ndash80) was obtained byusing one of the following ratios pyrazole NaOH 2-chloroethylamine 1 2 2 3-(5)methylpyrazole NaOH 2chloroethylamine 1 3 3 or 35-dimethylpyrazole NaOH 2-chloroethylamine 1 5 5 [100] (Figure 108)

In the N-alkylation reaction of pyrazole 3-(5)-meth-ylpyrazole and 35-dimethylpyrazole 301ndash303 with dichlo-roethane (DCE) the dehydrochlorination of the obtained 1-(120573-chloroethyl)pyrazoles has been carried out to give the cor-responding productsN-vinylpyrazoles 307ndash309 (Figure 9) inlow yield Attempts to carry out the reaction under standardconditions (waterbenzeneNaOHTEBAC) did not lead tothe desired result The yield of all products was sharplyincreased when benzene was replaced with an excess ofdichloroethane The reaction investigation showed that theease of alkylation depends strongly on the basicity of the pyra-zole The introduction of an electron-donating substituent(eg Me) into the molecule of pyrazole 301 increases theelectron density at the ldquopyrazolerdquo nitrogen atoms As a resultdeprotonation was hindered and the base was consumed inelimination of dichloroethane It must also be mentionedthat a 5- to 7-folds excess of dichloroethane was necessary toobtain optimal yields on alkylation of compounds 301ndash303[101] (Figure 109)

systems provided a convenient route to prepare bis-tetrazolonderivatives 290 and 4-bromoalkyl derivatives 291 [96](Figure 103)

N-Acetylated adenosine 292 was alkylated with ben-zyl bromide methyl iodide or allyl bromide in the pres-ence of tetrabutylammonium bromide as a PTC catalyst inCH2Cl2NaOH to give the correspondingN-alkyl-6-N-acetyl

adenosines 293a b [97] (Figure 104)N-alkylation reaction of adenine 294 took place with

different alkyl halides under the phase transfer conditionsusing microwave irradiation assistance [98] (Figure 105)

5-Aryloxymethyl-2-[(2-chlorophenyl)oxyacetylamido]-134-thiadiazoles 280 are synthesized from reaction of2-chlorophenyloxyacetyl chloride 297with 5-aryloxymethyl-2-amino-134-thiadiazoles 296under liquid-liquid conditionusing PEG-400 as a catalyst [99] (Figure 106)

N-Alkylation of 3-phenyl-2-thiohydantoin-5-arylidenederivative 299 has been carried out by using monohalocom-pounds such as allyl bromide as an alkylating agentThe reac-tionwas proceeded through nucleophilic displacement underPTC conditions of solid-liquid phases such as a mixture ofanhydrous potassium carbonate dioxane and TBAB as aheterogeneous catalyst The corresponding alkylated product300 was obtained in a good yield [42] (Figure 107)

Alkylation reaction of pyrazoles 301ndash303 with 2-chloroethylamine under the condition of phase-transfercatalysis was carried out in a liquid-solid system usingbenzene as an organic solvent and BTEAC as a catalystReaction between equimolar amounts of reactants led topoor yields (20ndash40) of the alkylated products 304ndash306 due

to concurrent dehydrochlorination of 2-chloroethylamineThe yield was considerably decreased in going from pyrazole(301) to 35 dimethylpyrazole (303) whereas the maximalyield of alkylated products (70ndash80) was obtained byusing one of the following ratios pyrazole NaOH 2-chloroethylamine 1 2 2 3-(5)methylpyrazole NaOH 2chloroethylamine 1 3 3 or 35-dimethylpyrazole NaOH 2-chloroethylamine 1 5 5 [100] (Figure 108)

In the N-alkylation reaction of pyrazole 3-(5)-meth-ylpyrazole and 35-dimethylpyrazole 301ndash303 with dichlo-roethane (DCE) the dehydrochlorination of the obtained 1-(120573-chloroethyl)pyrazoles has been carried out to give the cor-responding productsN-vinylpyrazoles 307ndash309 (Figure 9) inlow yield Attempts to carry out the reaction under standardconditions (waterbenzeneNaOHTEBAC) did not lead tothe desired result The yield of all products was sharplyincreased when benzene was replaced with an excess ofdichloroethane The reaction investigation showed that theease of alkylation depends strongly on the basicity of the pyra-zole The introduction of an electron-donating substituent(eg Me) into the molecule of pyrazole 301 increases theelectron density at the ldquopyrazolerdquo nitrogen atoms As a resultdeprotonation was hindered and the base was consumed inelimination of dichloroethane It must also be mentionedthat a 5- to 7-folds excess of dichloroethane was necessary toobtain optimal yields on alkylation of compounds 301ndash303[101] (Figure 109)
