N-N(+) Bond-Forming Intramolecular Cyclization of O-Tosyloxy β-Aminopropioamidoximes and Ion Exchange Reaction for the Synthesis of 2-Aminospiropyrazolilammonium Chlorides and Hexafluorophosphates.

Abstract

Our research area is related to the spiropyrazolinium-containingcompounds, which are insufficiently studied compared with pyrazoline-containing compounds. Nitrogen-containing azoniaspiromolecules have also been well studied. In drug design and other areas, they are a priori important structures, since rigid spirocyclic scaffolds with the reduced conformational entropy are able to organize a closely spaced area. Azoniaspirostructures are currently of wide practical interest as ionic liquids, current sources (membranes), structure-directing agents in organocatalysis, and in the synthesis of ordered ceramics. Our goal was the synthesis of 2-aminospiropyrazolilammonium chlorides and hexafluorophosphates. Our methodology is based on the tosylation of β-aminopropioamidoximes with six-membered N-heterocycles (piperidine, morpholine, thiomorpholine, and phenylpiperazine) at the β-position. 2-Aminospiropyrazolilammonium chlorides and hexafluorophosphates were obtained by the reaction of double ion substitution in the reaction of toluenesulfonates of 2-aminospiropyrazolinium compounds with an ethereal solution of HCl in ethanol and with ammonium hexafluorophosphate in ethanol in quantitative yields of 55-97%. The physicochemical characteristics of the synthesized compounds and their IR and NMR spectra are presented. The obtained salts were additionally characterized by the single-crystal XRD analysis. The presence of both axial and equatorial conformations of spirocations in solids was confirmed. 2-Aminospiropyrazolilammonium chlorides and hexafluorophosphates have weak in vitro antimicrobial activity on Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacterial lines.
