Synthesis of 3-arylsulfonylmethyl-1,2,4-oxadiazole-5-carboxylic acid derivatives

Several new 3-arylsulfonylmethyl-1,2,4-oxadiazole-5-carboxylic acid derivatives have been synthesized. A typical example, 3-[(4-chlorophenylsulfonyl)methyl]-1,2,4-oxadiazole-5-carboxylic acid ethyl ester ( 2c ), was prepared from the reaction of 2-(4-chlorophenylsulfonyl)acetamide oxime ( 1c ) with ethyl oxalyl chloride. The hydrazide derivative ( 3f ) showed antihypertensive activity in rats. Various structural modifications to improve activity are discussed.     

2-aryl-5-arylsulfanyl-1,3-oxazole-4-carboxylic acids and their derivatives

A convenient preparative procedure has been developed for the synthesis of previously unknown 2-aryl-5-arylsulfanyl-1,3-oxazole-4-carboxylic acids and their functional derivatives from accessible multicenter substrates of the general formula Cl₂C=C(NHCOR)C(O)OMe. The products turned out to be suitable for various subsequent transformations. Some oxazole-4-carboxylic acid hydrazide derivatives containing a substituted oxazol-5-yl fragment at the N² atom in the hydrazine moiety underwent recyclization on heating in acetic acid; as a result, one oxazole ring was converted into 1,3,4-oxadiazole.     

Synthesis of some bifunctional derivatives of 8-methylquinoline-5-carboxylic acid

Derivatives of 8-methylquinoline-5-carboxylic acid were synthesized. Alcoholysis of 8-methyl-5-cyanoquinoline gave methyl and ethyl 8-methylquinoline-5-carboxylates, which were converted to the corresponding 8-bromomethyl derivatives. The latter were used for the introduction of a methylamino group and the synthesis of N-acyl derivatives. The hydrazide, amide, and anilide of 8-methylquinoline-5-carboxylic acid were obtained as model compounds.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 6, pp. 785–788, June, 1982.

Polyfunctional imidazoles: VI. Synthesis of 2-amino-1-aryl-4-chloro-1H-imidazole-5-carboxylic acids derivatives

Aryl-2,4-dichloro-5-formylimidazoles by a successive treatment with hydroxylamine and thionyl chloride were converted into 1-aryl-2,4-dichloroimidazole-5-carbonitriles which by the action of sodium azide and tin(II) chloride were transformed into 2-amino-1-aryl-4-chloroimidazole-5-carbonitriles. The consecutive reactions of 2-azido-1-aryl-4-chloro-5-formylimidazoles with N-bromosuccinimide, methanol, or amides led to the formation of methyl esters and amides of 2-azido-1-aryl-4-chloroimidazole-5-carboxylic acids. The reduction of the latter with tin(II) chloride resulted in the corresponding derivatives of 2-amino-1-aryl-4-chloroimidazole-5-carboxylic acids, and the reduction of 2-azido-1-aryl-4-chloroimidazole-5-carboxylic acids was accompanied with decarboxylation and yielded 2-amino-1-aryl-4-chloroimidazoles.

Acylation of the ethyl ester and anilide of 2-amino-4-methylthiazole-5-carboxylic acid gave 2-acetyl(arylsulfonyl)amino derivatives. Methylation of acetylaminothiazole and subsequent deacetylation gave 2-methylamino-4-methylthiazole-5-carboxylic acid, which was then converted into esters. The ethyl ester and anilide of thiazole-2-carboxylic acid were used as starting compounds for the synthesis of 2-dimethylaminoformimino- and 2-chlorobenzenesulfonylureido derivatives.     

Oxidation of some derivatives of tetrahydropyrimidine-5-carboxylic acid with selenium dioxide

The oxidation of derivatives of 2-oxo-4-phenyl-6-methyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyrimidine-5-carboxylic acid with selenium dioxide was studied. It was observed that the 6-methyl group is oxidized to a hydroxymethyl, formyl, or carboxy group (in the latter case probably after dehydrogenation of the ring). The structure of the final product depends on the degree of substitution of the ring with respect to the nitrogen atom and on the substituent in the 5 position.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 4, pp. 535–538, April, 1982.     

Synthesis of 4-oxo-4H-quino[2,3,4-i,j][1,4]-benoxazine-5-carboxylic acid derivatives

Preparation of 2-arylindole-4-carboxylic amide derivatives

A practical, highly efficient protocol has been developed for the synthesis of functionalized 2-arylindole-4-carboxylic amide derivatives. Commercially available methyl 2-methyl-3-nitrobenzoate gave substituted nitrostyrene benzoic acids by reaction with aromatic aldehydes in the presence of DBU in DMSO. Conversion of these products to the desired amides was followed by Pd-catalyzed reductive cyclization employing carbon monoxide as the terminal reductant to provide the 2-arylindole-4-carboxylic amide derivatives in excellent overall yield for the simple three-step sequence.

Parallel iterative solution-phase synthesis of 5-amino-1-aryl-[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyridine-7-carboxylic acid amide derivatives

The parallel iterative solution-phase synthesis of 5-amino-1-aryl-[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyridine-7-carboxylic acid amide derivatives is described. The key intermediate 2,6-bis-aminopyridine-4-carboxylic acid methyl ester was synthesised in a two step procedure in 64% overall yield and elaborated to a variety of triazolopyridine-5-carboxylic acid methyl ester by selective pyridine-N-amination, condensation of the adduct with a wide selection of aldehydes and subsequent cyclisation and oxidation. The desired esters were obtained in yields up to 70%. The final transformation to the amide derivatives was accomplished by application of carefully optimised reaction conditions thus giving access to a library of total 500 triazolopyridine amide derivatives. Iterative synthetic cycles (12-48 library members each) allowing for maximal flexibility in chemistry and maximal efficiency in in vitro biological activity optimisation guided by molecular modelling efforts constitute a synergistic procedure for rapid lead optimisation.     

Synthesis and reaction of 5-amino-3-trifluoromethylisoxazole and -pyrazole-4-carboxylic acids

5-Amino-3-trifluoromethylisoxazole- and -pyrazole-4-carboxylic acids were prepared by the reactions ot trifluoroacetonitrile oxide or -imines with cyanoacetic acid derivatives, respectively. The behavior of thus obtained aminoazole-4-carboxylic acids toward some electrophiles was examined. In acylation with acyl chlorides, the aminoisoxazole-4-carboxylate 2a was diacylated to give the (diacylamino)isoxazole-4-carboxylate 7 , whereas the analogous aminopyrazole 5a produced the cyclized pyrazolooxazinone 13 . Moreover, carbamoylation of 2a with isocyanates gave the trifluoromethylisoxazolouracils 10 .

The latter were used for further transformations, in particular, for introducing the residues of highly basic aliphatic amines into the 5 position of oxazole, and the oxazol-2-yl moiety into the 4 position of the oxazole ring.

An efficient Pd(OAc)₂-catalyzed homocoupling of thiazole-4-carboxylic or oxazole-4-carboxylic derivatives is described. It represents a facile and practical methodology to prepare bis-5,5′-thiazole (oxazole)-4,4′-dicarboxylic derivatives in good to excellent yields. This protocol tolerates a series of substitutions on the thiazole (oxazole) rings, including alkyl, carbonyl, and electron-withdrawing/donating group substituted phenyl groups.

Photophysical properties and excitation polarization of fac/mer-ruthenium complexes with 5'-amino-2,2'-bipyridine-5-carboxylic acid derivatives

Novel ruthenium(II) complexes, fac/mer-[Ru(MeCO-5Bpy-R)3]2+ (H-5Bpy-OH = 5'-amino-2,2'-bipyridine-5-carboxylic acid; R = -NHtBu, -NH(cHex), -N(cHex)2), have been synthesized. The fac and mer isomers have been successfully separated using HPLC techniques, and their photophysical/electrochemical properties have been investigated. In the absorption and emission spectra of fac/mer-[Ru(MeCO-5Bpy-R)3]2+ with secondary amines (R = -N(cHex)2) in acetonitrile at room temperature, the maximum wavelengths based on the MLCT are longer than those for the amide derivatives with primary amines (R = -NHtBu, -NH(cHex)). A small solvent effect on the photophysical properties between fac- and mer-[Ru(MeCO-5Bpy-NHtBu)3]2+ has been observed. The excitation polarization spectra, giving P values reflecting the relation between the absorption and the emission oscillators, for the fac- and mer-ruthenium(II) complexes (C3 and C1 symmetry, respectively) have been measured for the first time. Almost no difference in the excitation polarization spectra between the fac and mer complexes is found, and these spectra are similar to that for [Ru(bpy)3]2+ with D3 symmetry. This finding suggests that the orientations of the absorption and emission oscillators, in the case of the ruthenium(II) tris(2,2'-bipyridine) derivatives, would not be affected by the symmetries of the complexes and that the P values for any derivatives would be similar to that for [Ru(bpy)3]2+.
