Substituted 3-and 5-formylpyridin-2-ones in the synthesis of 1-aryl-1, 6-naphthyridinone derivatives

New 1-aryl-6-[2-(dimethylamino)vinyl]4-oxo-1,4-dihydropyrimidine-5-carbonitriles and 4-arylamino-2-oxo-1,2-dihydropyridine-3-carbonitriles containing electron-withdrawing substituents in the benzene ring were synthesized from enamino amides and dimethylformamide dialkylacetals. The influence of various dimethylformamide acetals on the yield of 3-(4-chloro-anilino)-2-cyano-5-(dimethylamino)penta-2,4-dienoic acid N-(dimethylamino)methyl-ideneamide was investigated in the reaction of these acetals with 3-(4-chloroanilino)-2-cyanocrotonamide. New 4-arylamino-5-formyl-2-oxo-1,2-dihydropyridine-3-carbonitriles and 4-arylamino-2-oxo-1,2-dihydropyridine-3-carbaldehydes containing electron-withdrawing substituents in the benzene ring were synthesized. The latter compounds were converted into new substituted l,6-naphthyridinones by the action of various CH acids. A new approach to the synthesis of 4-(4-fluoroanilino)-5-formyl-2-oxo-1,2-dihydropyridine-3-carbonitrile using dimethylformamide diisopropylacetal under mild conditions was developed. The comparative reactivity of the formyl group in the reactions of 4-arylamino-5-formyl-2-oxo-1,2-dihydropyridine-3-carbonitriles and in 4-arylamino-2-oxo-1,2-dihydropyridine-3-carb-aldehydes with malononitrile was determined using HPLC.     

Methyl 3-cyclopropyl-3-oxopropanoate in the synthesis of heterocycles having a cyclopropyl substituent

Reactions of methyl 3-cyclopropyl-3-oxopropanoate with chloroacetone and ammonia, benzaldehyde and ammonia, and benzoquinone gave, respectively, methyl 2-cyclopropyl-5-methyl-1H-pyrrole-3-carboxylate, dimethyl 2,6-dicyclopropyl-4-phenyl-1,4-dihydropyridine-3,5-dicarboxylate, and methyl 2-cyclopropyl-5-hydroxy-1-benzofuran-3-carboxylate.

Synthesis and properties of 3-cyano-4-(4-cyanophenyl)-1,4-dihydropyridine-2(3H)-thiones

Piperidinium 3-cyano-4-(4-cyanophenyl)-1,4-dihydropyridine-2(3H)-thiolates were obtained by the condensation of 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds, 4-cyanobenzaldehyde, and cyanothioacetamide in the presence of an equimolar amount of piperidine. The acidification of these thiolates gave the corresponding 1,4-dihydropyridine-2(3H)-thiones and pyridine-2(1H)-thione. Alkylation of 1,4-dihydropyridine-2-thiolates or the reaction mixture of the three-carbon condensation using iodacetamide gave 2-carbamoylmethylthio-1,4,5,6-tetrahydro- or 1,4-dihydropyridines, which were characterized by their conversion to 4,7-dihydrothieno[2,3-b]pyridines.Latvian Institute of Organic Synthesis, LV-1006, Riga, LatviaTranslated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 6, pp. 794–798, June, 2000.

Nitriles of 4-aryl-5-ethoxycarbonyl-2-methylthio-1,4-dihydropyridine-3-carboxylic acid have been obtained by the methylation of 1,4-dihydropyridine-2-thiolates; of 1,4-dihydropyridine-2(3H)-thiones in the presence of a stoichiometric amount of piperidine, and of a mixture of 1,4,5,6-tetrahydro- and 1,4-dihydropyridine-2-thiolates with methyl iodide. One-pot multicomponent synthesis has also been used in the condensation of ethyl 2-arylmethyleneacetoacetate, 2-cyanothioacetamide, piperidine, and methyl iodide; of ethyl acetoacetate, 3-aryl-2-cyanothioacrylamide, piperidine, and methyl iodide; and of ethyl acetoacetate, an aromatic aldehyde, 2-cyanothioacetamide, piperidine, and methyl iodide. The latter, a five-component method, takes place rapidly and under mild conditions, it is efficient (yields of 75-96%, economy of time, labour, and resources) and green (there is no need to synthesize lachrymators, such as 3-aryl-2-cyanothioacrylamides).The cardiovascular activity and the electrochemical oxidation of the synthesized 2-methylthio-1,4-dihydropyridines have been investigated. A comparative analysis has been carried out of the ability towards electrochemical oxidation as a function of the electronic properties of the substituent at position 4 of the heterocycle.

Effect of acyl chain length and branching on the enantioselectivity of Candida rugosa lipase in the kinetic resolution of 4-(2-difluoromethoxyphenyl)-substituted 1,4-dihydropyridine 3,5-diesters.

Since 2,6-dimethyl-4-aryl-1,4-dihydropyridine 3,5-diesters themselves are not hydrolyzed by commercially available hydrolases, derivatives with spacers containing a hydrolyzable group were prepared. Seven acyloxymethyl esters of 5-methyl- and 5-(2-propoxyethyl) 4-[2-(difluoromethoxy)phenyl]-2,6-dimethyl-1,4-dihydro-3,5-pyridinedicarboxylate were synthesized and subjected to Candida rugosa lipase (CRL) catalyzed hydrolysis in wet diisopropyl ether. A methyl ester at the 5-position and a long or branched acyl chain at C3 gave the highest enantiomeric ratio (E values). The most stereoselective reaction (E = 21) was obtained with 3-[(isobutyryloxy)methyl] 5-methyl 4-(2-difluoromethoxyphenyl)-2,6-dimethyl-1,4-dihydropyridine-3,5-dicarboxylate, and this compound was used to prepare both enantiomers of 3-methyl 5-(2-propoxyethyl) 4-[2-(difluoromethoxy)phenyl]-2,6-dimethyl-1,4-dihydro-3,5-pyridinedicarboxylate. The absolute configuration of the enzymatically produced carboxylic acid was established to be 4R by X-ray crystallographic analysis of its 1-(R)-phenylethyl amide.

The Diels-Alder reaction of 5-amino-1-(p-toluenesulfonyl)pyrazole-4-carbonitrile with dimethyl acetylenedi-carboxylate was carried out in the presence of potassium carbonate in dimethyl sulfoxide. The reaction gave dimethyl 2-(p-toluenesulfonylamino)-3-cyano-4-imino-1,4-dihydropyridine-5,6-dicarboxylate. The product was formed by transformation of the original Diels-Alder adduct followed by rearrangement of the p-toluenesul-fonylamino group into the 2-position of the pyridine ring. The structure of the product was irrefutably established by X-ray crystallography. This reaction is the first example of a pyrazole ring serving as the diene in a [4 + 2] cycloaddition reaction.
