Design,synthesis, and anticancer activity evaluation of novel aziridine-1,2,3-triazole hybrid derivatives

Some new 1-aryl-4-[(aziridine-1-yl)diaryl-methyl]-5-methyl-1H-1,2,3-triazole derivatives 7j–s were synthesized by the one-pot reaction of diaryl-(1-aryl-5-methyl-1H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)methanol compounds 6j–s formed from 1-aryl-5-methyl-1H-1,2,3-triazole-4-carboxylic acid derivatives. The new compounds 7j–s and 6j–s are investigated by ¹H and ¹³C NMR, MS, and IR. The anticancer activity of the synthesis target compounds was evaluated against human leukemia (HL-60) cells and human hepatoma G2 cells. Some of the compounds were highly efficient. The ¹H-NMR signals of the aziridine-ring cis-H/trans-H protons were found to be two group peaks at 1.800–1.884 and 1.183–1.327?ppm.     

Synthesis of 1,2,4- and 1,3,4-oxadiazoles from 1-aryl-5-methyl-1<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>-1,2,3-triazole-4-carbonyl chlorides

5-Substituted 2-(1-aryl-5-methyl-1H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)-1,3,4-oxadiazoles were synthesized by reaction of 1-aryl-5-methyl-1H-1,2,3-triazole-4-carbonyl chlorides with the corresponding 5-substituted 1H-tetrazoles. 5-Methyl-1-phenyl-1H-1,2,3-triazole-4-carbonyl chloride reacted with N′-hydroxybenzimidamides to give 3-aryl-5-(5-methyl-1-phenyl-1H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)-1,2,4-oxadiazoles. Reactions of 4-(5-methyl-1H-1,2,3-triazol-1-yl)benzoic acid with N′-hydroxybenzimidamides resulted in the formation of 3-aryl-5-[4-(5-methyl-1H-1,2,3-triazol-1-yl)phenyl]-1,2,4-oxadiazoles.     

Syntheses of 3-[5-Methyl-1-(4-Methylphenyl)-1,2,3-Triazol-4-yl]-6-Substituted-s-Triazolo[3,4-b]-1,3,4-Thiadiazoles

1,2,3-Triazole derivatives have been reported as inhibiting tumor proliferation, invasion, and metastasis^[1]. The fused l,3,4-triazolo[3,4-b]-1,3,4-thiadiazoles derivatives show various biological effects such as antifungal^[2], antibacterial, hypotensive and CNS depressant activities^[3]. We have reported several 6-aryl-3-[5-methyl-1-(4-methylphenyl)-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl]-s-triazolo[3,4-b]-1,3,4-thiadiazoles in the previous paper^[4]. The novel 6-aryl-3-[5-methyl-1-(4-methylphenyl)-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl]-s-triazolo[2,4-b]-1,3,4-thiadiazoles 6a-j have been synthesized by the condensation of 4-amino-5-mercapto-3-[5-methyl-1-(4-methylphenyl)-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl]-s-triazole 5 with various aromatic carboxylic acids in the presence of phosphorus oxychloride. The mercaptotriazole 5 was prepared from 4,the latter being prepared from 1 throng 2 and 3. The title compounds 6 were depicted in scheme 1. The structures of these compounds were established by elemental analysis, NMR, MS and IR techniques.     

Mass spectral fragmentation pattern of 4-carboxy-and 4-methoxycarbonyl-5-methyl(or phenyl)-2-aryl-2H-1,2,3-triazoles

4-Carboxy-5-methyl-2-aryl-2H-1,2,3-triazoles undergo considerable fragmentation on electron impact including loss of OH and H₂O from the molecular ions and rupture of the triazole ring. 4-Carboxy-5-phenyl-2-aryl-2H-1,2,3-triazoles, on the other hand, show no loss of H₂O from the molecular ions.     

Synthesis of 1-(1-aryl-1H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)-β-carboline derivatives

Reaction of 5-methyl-1-aryl-1H-1,2,3-triazole-4-carbocylic acid chlorides with tryptamine derivatives afforded substituted 1-aryl-N-[2-(1H-indol-3-yl)ethyl]-5-methyl-1H-1,2,3-triazole-4-carboxamides. At heating these compounds in toluene in the presence of POCl₃ and P₂O₅ Bischler-Napieralski cyclization occurs giving 1-(1-aryl-5-methyl-1H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)-4,9-dihydro-3H-β-carbolines that can be transformed into β-carboline and tetrahydro-β-carboline derivatives.     

Synthesis of [5-(1<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-yl]pyridines

2-, 3-, and 4-[5-(1-Aryl-5-R-1H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-yl]pyridines were synthesized from the corresponding 1-aryl-5-R-1H-1,2,3-triazole-4-carbonyl chlorides and 2-, 3-, and 4-(1H-tetrazol-5-yl)-pyridines.     

Synthesis and selected transformations of 1-(5-methyl-1-aryl-1H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)ethanones and 1-[4-(4-R-5-methyl-1H-1,2,3-triazol-1-yl)phenyl]ethanones

By cycloaddition of arylazides to acetylacetone are obtained derivatives of 1,2,3-triazole. In the reaction of 1-[5-methyl-1-(R-phenyl)-1H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl] ethanones (IIa–IIe) and 1-[4-(4-R-5-methyl-1H-1,2,3-triazol-1-yl)phenyl] ethanones (VIIa-VIIe) with isatin are obtained 2-[1-(R-phenyl)-5-methyl-1H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl]-4-quinolinecarboxylic acids (IIIa–IIIe) and 2-[4-(4-R-5-methyl-1H-1,2,3-triazol-1-yl)phenyl] -4-quinolinecarboxylic acids (IXa, IXb), respectively. We found that 1-[5-methyl-1-(R-phenyl)-1H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl] ethanones (IIa–IIe) readily transform into [5-methyl-1-(R-phenyl)-1H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl] acetic acids (IVa–IVc) by the method of Wilgerodt-Kindler. The (5-methyl-1-phenyl-1H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)acetic acid reacts with 5-phenyl-4-amino-4H-1,2,4-triazol-3-thiol affording 6-[(5-methyl-1-phenyl-1H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl) methyl]-3-phenyl[1,2,4] triazolo[3,4-b] [1,3,4] thiadiazole (VI).

Synthesis of 2-Aryl-4-(R-sulfanylmethyl)-3-methyl-6,7-dihydro-2<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>-pyrazolo[3,4-<Emphasis Type="Italic">d</Emphasis>]pyridazin-7-ones

Bromination of ethyl 1-aryl-4-acetyl-5-methyl-1H-pyrazole-3-carboxylates gave ethyl 1-aryl-4-(bromoacetyl)-5-methyl-1H-pyrazol-3-carboxylates which were used to alkylate benzenethiol and heterocyclic thiones at the sulfur atom. Reactions of the resulting S-alkylation products with hydrazine or methylhydrazine involved closure of pyridazine ring to afford 2-aryl-3-methyl-4-[phenyl(or hetaryl)sulfanylmethyl]-6,7-dihydro-2H-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyridazin-7-ones.     

Furopyridines. XI. 13C NMR Spectra of 2- or 3-Substituted Furo[2,3-b]-, Furo[3,2-b]-, Furo[2,3-c]- and Furo[3,2-c]pyridine

The ¹³C nmr spectra of 2- or 3-monosubstituted furo[2,3-b]- 1a-1j , furo[3,2-b]- 2a-2j , furo[2,3-c]- 3a-3j and furo[3,2-c]pyridine derivatives 4a-4j are reported. Effects by change in annelation and substituent effects on ¹³C chemical shifts and carbon-proton coupling constants are discussed. The spectra of benzo[b]furan derivatives 5a-5j having the corresponding substituent are also reported for comparison.     

Synthesis of 6-aryl-1,3-dimethyl-6,7-dihydro-6-azalumazin-7-(6H)ones and their conversion into 2-aryl-1,2,4-triazine-3,5-(2H,4H)odiones. A new synthesis of 1-aryl-6-azauracils

Treatment of 6-amino-5-arylazo-1,3-dimethyluracils with urea or N,N′-carbonyldiimidazole gave the respective 6-aryl-1,3-dimethyl-6,7-dihydro-6-azalumazin-7-(6H)ones, which were hydrolyzed with alkali to afford 2-aryl-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-3,5-dioxo-1,2,4-triazine-6-carboxylic acids (1-aryl-6-azauracil-5-carboxylic acids). Thermal decomposition of these carboxylic acids gave the corresponding 2-aryl-1,2,4-triazine-3,5-(2H,4H)diones (1-aryl-6-azauracils). Methylation of the latter with methyl iodide gave the corresponding 2-aryl-4-methyl-1,2,4-triazine-3,5-(2H,4H)diones (1-aryl-3-methyl-6-azauracils).     

Studies on Reactions of 2-Amino-5-Heterocyclyl-1,3,4- -Thia/Oxadiazole with Acylisothiocyanates

It is well known that the addition of acyl isothiocyanate with amine formed 1,3-disubstituted thiourea which possess broad spectrum biological activities, Up till now, the addition of 5-heterocyclyl-2-amino-1,3,4-thia/oxadiazole with acylisothicyanate has not been reported. We wish to describe this reaction in this paper. When the new 2-amino-5-(l-p-chlorophenyl-5-methyl-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)-1,3,4-thiadiazole (Ⅰ) was reacted with acylisothio-cyanates (Ⅱ), not all the compounds were expected acylthiourea (Ⅲ)^[1,2], some of them were acid amide (Ⅳ). The formation of the products was determined by the substituents of the acylisothiocyanate. In order to investigate the reaction, we synthesized 2-amino-5-aryl-1,3,4-thio/oxadiazole (Ⅴa,b), and then reacted with 1-p-chlorophenyl-5-methyl-1,2,3-triazol-4-formyl-isothiocyanate (Ⅵ). As it was anticipated, the products only were N-(5-aryl-1,3,4-thia/oxadiazol-2-yl)-N'-(1-p-chlorophenyl-5-methyl-1,2,3-triazol-4-formyl) thiourea (Ⅶa,b) (Scheme).     

Reactions of 2-benzylidenemalononitrile and 2-nitro-3-phenylacrylonitrile with aryl azides

Reactions of 2-benzylidenemalononitrile and 2-nitro-3-phenylacrylonitrile with aryl azides in diethyl ether at room temperature gave mixtures of regioisomeric 1(3)-aryl-5-phenyl-4,5-dihydro-1(3)H-1,2,3-triazole-4,4-dicarbonitriles and 1-aryl-5(4)-phenyl-1H-1,2,3-triazole-5(4)-carbonitriles, respectively. 2-Benzylidenemalononitrile reacted with the same arylazides on heating in boiling chloroform to produce 1-aryl-2-phenylaziridine-2,2-dicarbonitriles.     

Syntheses Based on 4-Chloro-1-[3,5-di(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-, 4-Chloro-1-(2,4-difluorophenyl)-5-formyl-3-methyl-6,7-dihydroindazoles,and 4-Chloro-5-formyl-3-methyl-1-(2-pyridyl)-6,7-dihydroindazoles

Vilsmeier formylation of 1-[3,5-di(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]- and 1-(2,4-difluorophenyl)-3-methyl-4-oxo-4,5,6,7-tetrahydroindazoles gave the corresponding 1-aryl-4-chloro-5-formyl-3-methyl-6,7-dihydroindazoles. Reaction of the latter with amidines, o-phenylenediamine, hydrazine, or hydroxylamine gave a series of 1-aryl-3-methyl-6,6-dihydroindazoles annelated at positions 4 and 5. The reaction of 4-chloro-5-formyl-3-methyl-1-(2-pyridyl)-6,7-dihydroindazole with substituted anilines gave 5-arylaminomethylene-4-oxo- or 5-arylaminomethylene-4-arylimino-3-methyl-1-(2-pyridyl)-4,5,6,7-tetrahydroindazoles depending on the molar ratio of reagents and the nucleophilicity of the amines.__________Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 5, pp. 740–750, May, 2005.     

Synthesis of the Derivatives of 4-(5-Aryl-3-methylfuran-3-yl)-1,2,3-thiadiazole and Functionalization of 5-Aryl-2- methylfuran via Reactions of Thiadiazole Ring

By arylation of 2-methyl-3-acetylfuran via the Gomberg–Bachmann reaction 5-(4-ethoxycarbonylphenyl)-, 5-(2-nitrophenyl), and 5-(4-nitrophenyl)-2-methyl-3-acetylfurans were synthesized. Carboethoxyhydrazones of 2-methyl-5-phenyl-3-acetylfuran and its phenyl-substituted analogs when treated with thionyl chloride form 4-(5-aryl-2-methylfuran-3-yl)-1,2,3-thiadiazoles by the Hurd–Mori reaction. Thermal stability of obtained compounds increases with the increase in electron-acceptor action of substituent in phenyl ring. Opening of thidiazole ring in the compounds synthesized under the action of potassium tert-butylate in THF in the presence of alkyl iodides leads to the corresponding alkylthioethynylfurans. Performing the reaction with potassium carbonate in DMF in the presence of excess morpholine permits the preparation of (2-methyl-5- arylfuran-3-yl)thioacetylmorpholides.     

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. Cyclization of methyl 3-cyclopropyl-3-oxopropanoate with ethyl chloro(arylhydrazono)ethanoates and other halohydrazones led to the formation of 3-substituted 1-aryl-5-cyclopropyl-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxylic acids, and 5-cyclopropyl-1-(quinolin-5-yl)-1H-1,2,3-triazole-4-carboxylic acid was obtained by reaction of the title compound with 5-azidoquinolines.     

Transaminations of enaminones:A Synthesis of tricyclic,N-aryl, 1,2,3-triazole-fused pyridones

1-Phenylmethyl- and 1-(4-methoxyphenylmethyl)-5-chloro-1,2,3-triazole-4-carbonyl chlorides acylated the pyrrolidine enamines of cyclopentanone and cyclohexanone, and the resulting enaminones underwent transaminations with aryl amines under acidic conditions. The products then cyclized under basic conditions to linearly fused, tricyclic 3-phenylmethyl- and 3-(4-methoxyphenylmethyl)-4-aryl-8-oxo-4,5,6,7-tetrahydrocyclopenta[6]-1,2,3-triazolo[4,5-e]pyridines, and to 5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-4-aryl-3H-1,2,3-triazolo[4,5-b]quinolin-9(4H)-ones. Similar transaminations afforded the related 8-phenyl- and 8-(3-chlorophenyl)-1,5,7,8-tetrahydro-1-(phenylmethyl)-4H-thieno[3,4-e]-1,2,3-triazolo[4,5-b]pyridin-4-ones. Phase-transfer and catalytic hydrogenolyses of some of these intermediates furnished 4-aryl-8-oxo-4,5,6,7-tetrahydrocyclopenta[b]-1,2,3-triazolo[4,5-e]pyridines and 4-aryl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-3H,2,3-triazolo[4,5-b]quinoline-9-(4H)-ones. The 3-(4-methoxyphenylmethyl)-4-aryl intermediates were sterically crowded. Two protons from the methoxyphenylmethylphenylmethylgroups were dramatically shielded because of anisotropic effects exerted by the 4-aryl substituents.     

v-Triazolines. Part XIX. Thiocino[4,5-d]-1,2,3-triazole and thiocino[4,5-d]isoxazole derivatives

5-Amino-2,3,6,7-tetrahydrothiocines were reacted with arylazides yielding 1-aryl-9a-amino-1,3a,4,5,7,8,9,9a-octahydrothiocino[4,5-d]-1,2,3-triazoles which could be deaminated to 1-aryl-1,4,5,7,8,9-hexahydrothiocino-[4,5-d]-1,2,3-triazoles. Similarly, the above enamines yielded, with nitrile oxides, 3-aryl-9a-amino-3a,4,5,8,9,9a-hexahydrothiocino[4,5-d]isoxazoles which were transformed with acids into 3-aril-4,5,8,9-tetrahydrothiocino-[4,5-d]isoxazoles.     

Synthesis of a 1,2,3-triazolo[1,5-a]-1,3,5-triazine. A new heterocyclic system

The synthesis of 3-methyl-7-oxo-5-thioxo-4H,6H-1,2,3-triazolo[1,5-a]-1,3,5- triazine (a new bicyclic system) is described. The key step involves reaction of 4-amino-5-methyl-1,2,3-triazole with carbethoxyisothiocyanate followed by cyclization with alkali.     

Synthesis of 1-aryl-5-methyl-4-substituted-l,2,3-triazoles

As 1-aryl-5-methyl-4-substituted-1,2,3-triazoles often exhibit broad spectrum biological actions, we have synthesized many heterocyclic and condensed heterocyclic compounds which contained 1-aryl-5-methyl-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl functional groups and screened their antibacterical activities^[1,2]. Our further work testified that it was necessary to go on studying such kind of compounds. In order to improve the soluble of these compounds, we chose aniline and p-toluidime as starting materials to synthesize 1-aryl-5-methyl-4-substituted-1,2,3-triazoles 1a-b, 2a-b, 3a-b, 4a-b, 5a, These new compounds all have active reaction groups such as SH, NH₂ as well as OH. So they might react with ω-substituted-ω-bromo-acetophenone and 6a-b, 7a-b, 8a-b, 9a were obtained. They are all soluble in hot alcohol. Under similar conditions it is difficult to let 4a-b react completely with ω-substituted-ω-bromo-acetophenone. We only observed a little new compounds by TLC. By Mannich reaction, 1a-b also could react with formaldelyde and p-toluidime and l0a-b were isolated. The evaluation of the biological activity is in progress.     

One-potCuAAC synthesis of (1H-1,2,3-triazol-1-yl)methyl-1,3,4/1,2,4-oxadiazoles starting from available chloromethyl-1,3,4/1,2,4-oxadiazoles

The one-pot CuAAC synthesis of (1H-1,2,3-triazol-1-yl)methyl-1,3,4-oxadiazole and (1H-1,2,3-triazol-1-yl)methyl-1,2,4-oxadiazole derivatives via three-component reaction of consequent nucleophilic substitution of chlorine, with azide, and its further “click” reaction, with alkynes, in the presence of CuI was studied. The utility of newly synthesized 2-(azidomethyl)-1,3,4/1,2,4-oxadiazoles and chloromethyl-1,3,4/1,2,4-oxadiazole derivatives was explored, and their limitations were determined. Novel 5-([4-aryl-1H-1,2,3-triazol-1-yl]methyl)-3-(aryl)-1,2,4-oxadiazoles, 2-([4-aryl-1H-1,2,3-triazol-1-yl]methyl)-5-(aryl)-1,3,4-oxadiazoles were obtained in good yields.
