Five series of a novel class of 4-acyl-1-[2-aryl-1-diazenyl]piperazines have been synthesized and characterized: the 4-acetyl-1-[2-aryl-1-diazenyl]piperazines [series 1]; the 4-cyclohexylcarbonyl-1-[2-aryl-1-diazenyl]piperazines [series 2]; the 4-benzoyl-1-[2-aryl-1-diazenyl]piperazines [series 3]; the benzyl 4-[2-aryl-1-diazenyl]-1-piperazinecarboxylates [series 4]; and the t-butyl 4-[2-aryl-1-diazenyl]-1-piperazinecarboxylates [series 5]. The compounds were synthesized by diazotization of a primary aromatic amine and subsequent coupling to an appropriate secondary amine: 1-acetylpiperazine [series 1]; 1-(cyclohexylcarbonyl)-piperaizine [series 2]; 1-benzoylpiperazine [series 3]; benzyl 1-piperazinecarboxylate [series 4]; and t-butyl piperazine-1-carboxylate (1-BOC-piperazine) [series 5]. The compounds of series 1-5 were characterized by 1H NMR, 13C NMR, high-resolution MS and IR spectroscopy. The model compounds 1,4-di[2-aryl-1-diazenyl]piperazines, and ethyl 4-[2-aryl-1-diazenyl]-1-piperazinecarboxylates were used to facilitate the assignment of the chemical shifts specific to the piperazine ring carbons. HSQC spectra of select compounds established the correlation between proton and carbon resonance signals. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The crystal structure of methyl 1,4-di[( E)-2-( p-tolyl)-1-diazenyl]piperazine ( 4) has been determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The bis-triazene ( 4) adopts a normal chair conformation in the piperazine ring, with puckering parameters : φ = −29(5)°, Q = 0.534(2) Å and θ = 177.0(2)°. The crystal structure of 4 is compared with the structure of the triazene ( 2a) and the closely related bis-triazenes ( 3 and 5a). The piperazine ring of 2a and 4 adopt a typical chair conformation, whereas the piperazine ring of 3 adopts an unusual pseudo-boat conformation. Crystal data: 4 CHN, triclinic, space group $$ P\overline{1} $$, a = 6.8925(2) Å, b = 7.8574(3) Å, c = 16.8856(8) Å, α = 103.103(2)°, β = 90.528(2)°, γ = 101.776(2)° and V = 870.44 (6) Å, for Z = 2.

A series of 1,4-di-[2-aryl-1-diazenyl]-2,6-dimethylpiperazines (5a–5l), have been synthesized by the reaction of 2,6-dimethylpiperazine with 2 equiv. of the appropriate diazonium salt. The products have been characterized by IR and NMR spectroscopy, and the molecular composition has been verified by high-resolution EI mass spectrometry with accurate mass measurement of the molecular ion. The presence of stereocenters at C2 and C6 of the piperazine ring in the bis-triazene 5 creates two unique pairs of diastereotopic protons in the methylene groups at positions 3 and 5 of the piperazine ring, as evidenced by the complexity of the NMR spectra, which nevertheless can be fully assigned in most cases. The assignment of the proton and carbon signals in the 1,4-di-[2-aryl-1-diazenyl]-2,6-dimethylpiperazines has been aided by the use of 2D NMR HSQC spectroscopy. These results compare favorably with assignments of proton and carbon signals reported previously for triazenes of type 1 and bis-triazenes of type 3. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

1-Methylhomopiperazine was coupled with a series of diazonium salts to afford the 4-methyl-1-[2-aryl-1-diazenyl]-1,4-diazepanes (6), a new series of triazenes. These compounds are, in the main, stable crystalline solids (some of the series are stable oils), and they have been characterized by 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy, IR spectroscopy, and mass spectrometry. NMR assignments were determined by 2D NMR and variable-temperature NMR experiments and by comparison with model compounds. A second series of new compounds, namely, 1,4-di-[2-aryl-1-diazenyl]-1,4-diazepanes (5), were prepared by coupling unsubstituted homopiperazine (1,4-diazepane) with 2 molar equivalents of the diazonium salt and were similarly characterized. The crystal and molecular structure of the parent member of this bis-triazene series (5, X = H) has been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

1-Methylpiperazine was coupled with a series of diazonium salts to afford the 1-methyl-4-[2-aryl-1-diazenyl]piperazines (2), a new series of triazenes, which have been characterized by 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy, IR spectroscopy, and elemental analysis. Assignment of the chemical shifts to specific protons and carbons in the piperazine ring was facilitated by comparison with the chemical shifts in the model compounds piperazine and 1-methylpiperazine and by a HETCOR experiment with the p-tolyl derivative (2i). A DEPT experiment with 1-methylpiperazine (6) was necessary to distinguish the methyl and methylene groups in 6, and a HETCOR spectrum of 6 enabled the correlation of proton and carbon chemical shifts. Line broadening of the signals from the ring methylene protons is attributed to restricted rotation around the N2-N3 bond of the triazene moiety in 2. The second series of triazenes, the ethyl 4-[2-phenyl-1-diazenyl]-1-piperazinecarboxylates (3), have been prepared by similar diazonium coupling to ethyl 1-piperazinecarboxylate and were similarly characterized. The chemical shifts of the piperazine ring protons are much closer together in series 3 than in series 2, resulting in distortion of the multiplets for these methylenes. It was noticed that the difference between these chemical shifts in 3 exhibited a linear free energy relationship with the Hammett substituent constants for the substituents in the aryl ring.

A series of 1,4-di-[2-aryl-1-diazenyl]-2-methylpiperazines (4a–n) have been synthesized by the reaction of 2-methylpiperazine with 2 equiv. of the appropriate diazonium salt. The products have been characterized by IR and NMR spectroscopy, and the molecular composition has been verified by HR-EIMS, with accurate mass measurement of the molecular ion. The presence of a chiral centre at C2 of the piperazine ring in the bistriazene 4 creates a multitude of diastereotopic protons in the methylene groups of the piperazine ring, as evidenced by the complexity of the NMR spectra, which nevertheless can be fully assigned in some cases, such as the tolyl- (4h) and phenyl- (4j) derivatives. These two compounds also show a discrimination between the two N-arydiazenyl groups, as evidenced by the doubling of several aromatic-carbon signals in the 13C NMR spectra. The assignment of the proton and carbon signals in 4h and 4j has been aided by the use of 2D NMR spectroscopy. A DEPT spectrum of 4j clearly discriminates the methylene carbons and also indicates the methine carbons of the piperazine ring. COSY spectra provide clear information about the interactions between diastereotopic protons; when these results are combined with the results of HSQC spectroscopy, the proton and carbon signals can be fully correlated, leading to an unequivocal assignment of the proton and carbon atoms of the piperazine ring. The HSQC spectrum of 4j also gives a complete correlation of the aromatic-proton and -carbon signals. These results compare favorably with the previously reported assignments of proton and carbon signals for triazenes of type 1 and bistriazenes of type 3. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
