Analogues of the potent adenosine antagonist 5-(3'-hydroxypropyl)-7-methoxy-2-(3'-methoxy-4'-hydroxyphenyl)benzo[b]furan-3-carbaldehyde (XH-14, 1) with alternate substituents in the 2-, 5- and 7-positions have been synthesised. The affinity of these compo

At 300-350 deg C in the presence of alumina, phenol (1) reacts with excess 2-propanol (37) to give mixed monopropyl-, dipropyl-, and 2,4,6-triisopropyl- (42) phenols. At 300 deg C the principal components of the product mixture are 2-isopropylphenol (26-30 mol percent yield) and 2,6-diisopropylphenol (44-52percent); at 350-400 deg C , they are the isomeric monoisopropylphenols (50-60percent). With 3-isopropylphenol as substrate (instead of 1), 2,5-diisopropylphenol is obtained (79percent), while 4-isopropylphenol gives 2,4-diisopropylphenol and 42 (70percent combined yield). In various runs, 0-20percent of the propyl groups introduced are n-propyl ones. It is proposed that the principal products result from an SN2-type reaction mechanism which involves nucleophilic attack (variously by C-2, C-4, and C-6) of an adsorbed ambident phenoxide ion onto C-2 of an adsorbed isopropoxide group. n-Propylation is ascribed to a side reaction of SN1 type.

At 250-350 deg C in the presence of alumina, phenol (1) reacts with excess 1-propanol to give mainly (>90percent) C-alkylation to form mono- to penta-n-propylphenols plus some O-alkylations to form n-propyl aryl ethers. The principal component of the product mixture from 1 is 2,6-di-n-propylphenol (26-50 mol percent yield). With 4-n-propylphenol as substrate (instead of 1), tri-, tetra-, and penta-n-propylphenols are formed in 48-79percent combined yield. On the average, only 3percent of the total C3H7 groups in the product mixture are isopropyl ones. Deoxygenation is not observed. It is proposed that the principal products result from an SN2-type reaction mechanism which involves nucleophilic attack (variously by C-2, C-4, C-6, or O) of an adsorbed ambident phenoxide ion onto C-1 of an adsorbed n-propoxide group. n-Propylation at C-3 and C-5 of the phenol ring results from surface-catalyzed dienone-phenol rearrangement.Isopropylation may occur via a side reaction of SN1 type.
