3,5-Dimethoxyhomophthalic acid was synthesized in four steps from 3,5-dimethoxycinnamic acid via a series of reactions including cyclization of 3-(3',5'-dimethoxyphenyl)propionic acid to 5,7-dimethoxy-1-indanone and oxidative decomposition of methyl-2-hydroxy-2-[5,7-dimethyoxy-1-oxo-1H-inden-2(3H)-ylidene]acetate to 3,5-dimethoxyhomophthalic acid.The synthesized compounds were characterized by elemental analysis,IR,1H NMR,and MS.The biological evaluation experiments of 3,5-dimthoxyhomophthalic acid and the related synthesized compounds were also carried out.Naturally occurring biologically active isocoumarins were prepared in a single step by the condensation of the homophthalic acid with appropriate acid chlorides.
The compound 3,6-bis(4-methyl-1,2,3-thiadiazol-5-yl)-1,2,4-triazolo[3,4-b][1,3,4] thiadiazole(C9H6N8S3,Mr = 322.40) has been synthesized by the reaction of 4-amino-3-(4-methyl-1,2,3-thiadiazolyl)-5-mercapto-1,2,4-triazole with 4-methyl-1,2,3-thiadiazol-5-carboxylic acid and phosphorus oxychloride,and its structure was characterized by IR,1H NMR,EI-MS,elemental analysis and single-crystal X-ray diffraction.The crystal of the title compound belongs to monoclinic,space group C2/c with a = 2.0053(4),b = 1.3081(3),c = 1.0556(2) nm,β = 112.69(3)°,Z = 4,V = 2.5548(9) nm3,Dc = 1.676 g/cm3,μ = 0.582 mm-1,F(000) = 1312,R = 0.0546 and wR = 0.1523.X-ray analysis indicates that all rings are essentially planar in this molecule,and an intermolecular hydrogen bond C(9)-H(9)…N(2) and weak intramolecular interactions between S(1)…N(7),S(3)…N(1) and S(2)…N(4) are observed.
