Research report of the Hungarian researchers Kiss Kolos and Gyomore Adam

 They were proposed two research topics. A. Gyomore has to protect the formyl group of the 10-methyl-10H-phenothiazine-3-carbaldehyde with (±) 1,2,4 –butanetriol for lithiate this substance in the position number four. K. Kiss has to prepare ethnylferrocene via acethylferrocene and 3-chloro-3-ferrocenylacrylaldehyde. Ethynilferrocene can links with for example 4-iodo-3-(4-(methoxymethyl)-1,3-dioxan-2-yl)-10-methyl-10H-phenothiazine, to form the following compound after the acidic hydrolisis:
schema
A. Gyomore has synthesized 10-methyl-10H-phenothiazine-3-carbaldehyde from 10-methyl-10H-phenothiazine with Vielsmayer formylation according to a literature procedure1.

Procedure

The formylating agent was prepared from. 5 cm3 POCl3 (53.64 mmol) added to 10 cm3 (129.16 mmol) abs. DMF at 0 oC. It mixed until it cooled back 0oC. 10 g (46.90 mmol) 10-methyl-10H-phenothiazine suspended in 10 cm3 abs. DMF and the suspension added to the solution. The remained substance was washed into the solution with 10+5+5 cm3 abs. DMF. This solution was heated to 104 oC and mixed for 4 hours. After the heating the mixture quenched with icy water. Yellowish precipitate was observed. Than solid NaHCO3 added to this mixture until the pH was 7.5. Next day the solution extracted with the following amounts of toluene: 250-150-3 x 50 cm3. The extract was dried on anhydrous Na2SO4, was filtered and the solvent was removed. The material crystallized with small amount of ethanol and water. The crude product was a yellowish powder like solid. Next day it was chromatographed on silicagel used toluene as eluent. The first fraction was 10-methyl-10H-phenothiazine and the fourth one was 10-methyl-10H-phenothiazine-3-carbaldehyde. The product is yellow crystalline solid.

m(product) = 3.22 g (13.34 mmol)

The next step was the protecting of formyl group. The protecting group chosen was the 4-(methoxymethyl)-1,3-dioxane group
schema

In the second step A. Gyomore converted the formyl group of the 3-formyl-10-methyl-10H-phenothiazine to dimethoximethyl group.
schema
Procedure

Methanol was dried with sodium and distillated. 1.13 g (4.683 mmol) 10-methyl-10H-phenothiazine-3-carbaldehyde was added to a 50 ml flask. The compound was dissolved in 20 ml methanol. Yellowish suspension was observed. 20 ml trimethoxymethane was added to the suspension. One drop concentrated (96%) sulphuric acid was added to the suspension. The suspension immediately became a solution. The solution was stirred overnight at room temperature. Next day it was added to 200 ml saturated NaHCO3 solution and extracted with dichloromethane until the dichloromethane was colorless. The yellowish extract was dried on CaCl2 and the solvent was removed with vacuum evaporation. The material left crystallize overnight resulting a yellowish brown solid compound.

m(product) = 1.32 g (4.593 mmol)

In the third step the dimethoximethyl group was substituted by a 4-(hydroximethyl)-1,3-dioxane group.

schema
Procedure

A toluenic suspension of 0.54 g (±) 1,2,4-butanetriol was dried by azeotrop distillation (a suspension was made in toluene, than toluene evaporated). This procedure was repeated two more times. The triol was  put to an exicator and left it overnight over CaCl2. 4.42 g 3Å molecular sieves pellets werw activated in a drying tube at 143 oC for 10 h. A suspension of the triol with 6 ml chloroform was added the activated molecular sieves, than 0.05 g (S) – camphorsulfonic acid was added to the suspension. 1.32 g (4.593 mmol) acetal was washed with 10 ml chloroform to the mixture. The mixture left stirring overnight with CaCl2 charged tube. Next day the mixture was filtered and the molecular sieves pellets was washed with dichloromethane. The solution was filtered on cellite, dried over K2CO3 and
the solvent was evaporated resulting a light yellowish brown viscous oil, which crystallized with cyclohexane. It got a light yellow powder like material.

m(product) = 1,24 g (3.764 mmol)

The following steps will be performed at ELTE University.

K. Kiss work

The research topic proposed was the synthesis of ethyinilferrocene from ferrocene and ethynilferrocene linkable iodoaryl and bromoaryl compounds with palladium catalyst, like 4-iodo-3-(4-(methoxymethyl)-1,3-dioxan-2-yl)-10-methyl-10H-phenothiazine.
The following steps were performed:

Firstly K. Kolos prepared acetylferrocene from ferrocene according to a literature procedure5,6.

schema

Procedure

K. Kolos added 31 ml Ac2O and 6.50 g (34.94 mmol) to a 100 ml flask. K. Kolos got a suspension. After K. Kolos suspended the ferrocene in aceticacidanhydride, the suspension was heated to 60oC. Concentrated phosphoric acid was added to this mixture and in the case of addition the color of suspension was changed brownish. After 30 minutes stirring, the reaction mixture was quenched to ice. Orange color precipitate was eliminated from the solution. After the ice melted, Na2CO3 was added  to the mixture until the pH is 5. Than saturated Na2CO3 solution was added to the same mixture until the pH ~ 6-7. The precipitate filtered with Büchner – funnel and washed with cold water. After the drying in exicator he got 6.40 g (28.06 mmol) product.
In the next step K. Kolos prepared the 3-chloro-3-ferrocenylacrylaldehyde with Vielsmayer formylation from acetylferrocene according to a literature procedure2,3,4.

schema

Procedure

9 ml abs. DMF and 2.5 ml POCl3 was mixed in a two necked 250 ml flask at 0oC. At this temperature the DMF solution of acetylferrocene was added to the solution via dropwise for 20 minutes. After that the solution was stirred more 15 minutes at 0oC. After the quarter hour ticked away the solution was allowed to warm room temperature and stirred for 4 hours. The color of the solution became indigo blue. 120 ml 20 w% 0oC sodiumacetate solution was added and it was stirred overnight. Next day the mixture was extracted with chloroform and the organic layer washed with water three times. The solution dried over CaCl2. After drying the solution filtered and the solvent evaporated. The dark red oil was crystallized with ciklohexane. Finally he got dark red crystalline solid.

m(product) = 1.78 g (6.338 mmol).
The last step was the elimination of HCl and formyl group.

schema

Procedure

0.48 g (1.734 mmol) of 3-chloro-3-ferrocenylacrylaldehydewas added to 15 ml abs. 1,4 –dioxane in a 50 ml three necked flask under argon atmosphere. After that the mixture was heated to reflux, 10 ml 0.5 M NaOH solution was suddenly added to the mixture. After 5 min reflux, the mixture was added to 50 ml cold water. The crude product formed as yellowish precipitate from water. 0.1 M HCl solution was added to this system until pH=5. The precipitate was filtered on and washed with water. The crude pruduct was dried with vacuum pump for 2 hours and cromatographed on neutral aluminiumoxide with petrolether 40/60 eluent. The product is a bright yellow powder like material.
