Quinazolines and 1,4-benzodiazepines. XLVI. Photochemistry of nitrones and oxaziridines

The cyclic nitrones 7-chloro-1,3-dihydro-5-phenyl-2H-1,4-benzodiazepin-2-one 4-oxide ( 5a ) and 1,3-dihydro-7-methylthio-5-phenyl-2H-1,4-benzodiazepin-2-one 4-oxide ( 5b ) are photoisomerized to readily isolable oxaziridines, 7-chloro-4,5-epoxy-5-phenyl-1,3,4–5-tetrahydro-2H-1,4-benzodiazepin-2-one ( 6a ) and 4,5-epoxy-5-phenyl-1,3,4,5-tetrahydro-7-methylthio-2H-1,4-benzo-diazepin-2-one ( 6b ). Oxaziridine 6b upon further irradiation gave ring expansion and ring contraction products, 4,6-dihydro-2-phenyl-9-methylthio-5H-1,3,6-benzoxadiazocin-5-one ( 7b ) and 4-benzoyl-3,4-dihydro-6-methylthioquinoxalin-2(1H)-one ( 8b ) respectively. The ring contraction product, 4-benzoyl-6-chloro-3,4-dihydroquinoxalin-2(1H)-one ( 8a ), was obtained from irradiation of oxaziridine 6a .     

Central nervous system depressants. 15. 1,4-benzodiazepines

A number of 5-phenyl-1,4-benzodiazepines and a few 2-phenyl-1,4-benzodiazepines were prepared and screened for central nervous system activity in mice. Some were highly active. An unusual substitution of 7-chloro-1,3-dihydro-5-phenyl-2H-1,4-benzodiazepin-2-one by trichloro-acetylisocyante is reported.     

Rearrangement of 1,4-benzodiazepin-2,4-diones to 3,l-benzoxazin-4-ones

Treatment of 7-chloro-3,4-dihydro-1H-1,4-benzodiazepin-2,5-dione (Ia) with refluxing acetic anhydride in the presence of pyridine afforded 6-chloro-2-methyl-4H-3,1-benzoxazin-4-one (IIa). A plausible reaction path for this novel rearrangement reaction is described: Ia → 4-acetyl-7-chloro-3,4-dihydro-lH-1,4-benzodiazepin-2,5-dione → 7-chloro-1,4-diacetyl-3,4-dihydro-lH-1,4-benzodiazepin-2,4-dione → IIa. When 7-chloro-3,4-dihydro-4-methyl-lH-1,4-benzodiazepin-2,5-dione (Ib), 3,4-dihydro-4-methyl-1H-1,4-benzodiazepin-2,5-dione (Id) and 3,4-dihydro-1-methyl-1H-1,4-benzodiazepin-2,5-dione (Ie) were allowed to react with acetic anhydride under conditions similar to those used for the rearrangement reaction, only acetylation occurred.     

1,4-Benzodiazepines III . Cyclization paths of hexaminium salts of 2-chioroacetamido-5-ehlorobenzophenone and its N-methyl derivative

This study reports the isolation and characterization of hexaminium salts of 2-chloroacetamido-5-chlorobenzophenone (I) and of 2-(N-methyl)chloroacetamido-5-chlorobenzophenone (II). The 7-chloro-1,3-dihydro-5-phenyl-2H-1,4-benzodiazepin-2-one (VI) and 7-chloro-1,3-dihydro-1-meth-yI-5-phenyl-2H-1,4-benzodiazepin-2-one (VII), respectively are of pharmacodynamic importance. Based on chromatographic separation of some intermediates, and on spectrophotometric monitoring of cyclizations I → VI and II → VII, respectively, two different pathways for these reactions have been proposed. Since the slowest step in the reaction sequence II → VII follows the quasi first order rate law, intramolecular nucleophilic attack of the benzophenone carbonyl group on the hexamine moiety proved to be decisive for the cyclization (scheme II). However, cyclization I → VI seems to incorporate quite different solvolytic pathways in addition to one corresponding to the sequence II → VII. Isolated 4-imidazolidinone intermediates N,N' -methylene-bis[3-{2 -benzoyl-4-chIoro)phenyI]-4-imidazolidinone(III), and 3-(2 -benzoyl-4′-chlorophenyI)-4-imidazolidinone hydrochloride (IV) recyclize into the 1,4-benzodiazepine VI. The optimal reaction conditions have been found to be between pH 6-7.     

Curtius rearrangement in the 5-phenyl-1,4-benzodiazepine series. Unprecedented participation by an imine nitrogen

The previously unknown 3-aminomethyl-1,3-dihydro-5-(2′-fluorophenyl)-2H,4-benzodiazepin-2-one, 3a, was synthesized in two steps as a racemate. In the chiral series, 3(S)-azidocarbonylmethyl-1,3-dihydro-5-phenyl-2H-1,4-benzodiazepin-2-one, 12b, was prepared from Nα-Cbz-β-methylaspartate in five synthetic operations and subjected to Curtius rearrangement. The intermediate isocyanate was trapped intramolecularly by the 5-imine nitrogen of the benzodiazepine ring in 12b. This unanticipated result runs counter to the generally held dictum that the isocyanate group has a strictly linear shape.     

Quinazolines and 1,4-benzodiazepines LVII. 1H-1,4-benzodiazepines

The preparation of the title compounds 3 and 4 using two different methods of synthesis is described. These compounds are readily reduced to 2,3-dihydro-1H-derivatives 5 . Oxidation of 2-alkylthio-1H-1,4-benzodiazepines leads to the corresponding sulfoxides and sulfones. The oxidative rearrangement of sulfones 9 to a 2H-1,4-benzodiazepin-2-one derivative 10 is also given. The “normal” addition of azodicarboxylate together with an unusual addition of two moles of acetylenedicarboxylate to the enamine double bond of 1H compounds is discussed.     

1,4-benzodiazepines and their cyclic homdlogs and analogs

The transformations (acylation, condensation with aldehydes, and diazotization) of 7- and 3-amino-5-phenyl-1,2-dihydro-3H-1,4-benzodiazepin-2-ones are examined. It is shown that the action of P₂S₅ on 3-acetamidobenzodiazepinone leads to replacement of the oxygen atom of the acetyl group by a sulfur atom. The polarographic reduction of 7-arylideneamino-5-phenyl-1,2-dihydro-3H-1,4-benzodiazepin-2-ones was studied.See [8] for communication 29.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No, 4, pp. 545–549, April, 1979.     

The m/z 91 rearrangement ion in the mass spectra of some 1,4-benzodiazepines

With the aid of isotope labeling and by substituent shifts, the relatively strong m/z 91 ion in the mass spectra of 7-chloro-2-methoxy-5-phenyl-3H-1,4-benzodiazepine and related compounds was shown to contain the 5-phenyl ring and the 3-CH₂ group. Mechanisms involving the opening of the 7-membered ring and the migration of the phenyl ring from C-5 to C-3 are postulated for the formation of this ion. This rearrangement ion was also observed in the mass spectra of some 1-alkyl-7-chloro-1,3-dhydro-5-phenyl-2H-1,4-benzodiazepin-2-ones.     

Synthesis of 3-alkoxycarbonylaminomethylcarbonylamino-4-benzoyl-1,2-dihydropyridines and their cyclization to 5-phenyl-1,3,8,9-tetrahydro-2H-pyrido[3,4-e]-1,4-diazepin-2-ones

The regiospecific reaction of 3-benzyloxycarbonylaminomethylcarbonylamino-4-benzoylpyridine (6a) , or 3-t-butoxycarbonylaminomethylcarbonylamino-4-benzoylpyridine (6b) , with either acetyl chloride or ethyl chloroformate, and either n-butylmagnesium chloride or phenylmagnesium bromide afforded the respective 1-acetyl (or ethoxycarbonyl)-2-n-butyl (or phenyl)-3-benzyloxy (or t-butoxy) carbonylaminomethylcarbonylami-no-4-benzoyl-1,2-dihydropyridines 7 in 60-75% yield. Reaction of 1-acetyl (or ethoxycarbonyl)-2-n-butyl (or phenyl)-3-t-butoxycarbonylaminomethylcarbonyl-4-benzoyl-1,2-dihydropyridines 7b, 7f, 7d, 7h with trifluoroacetic acid gave the corresponding 5-phenyl-8-acetyl (or ethoxycarbonyl)-9-n-butyl (or phenyl)-1,3,8,9-tetrahydro-2H-pyrido[3,4-e]-1,4-diazepin-2-ones 8a, 8b, 8c, 8d respectively in 45–63% yield. N¹-Methylation of 5-phenyl-8-acetyl-9-n-butyl (or phenyl)-1,3,8,9-tetrahydro-2H-pyrido[3,4-e]-1,4-diazepin-2-ones 8a, 8b using sodium hydride and iodomethane yielded the corresponding N¹-methyl derivatives 9a (48%) and 9b (54%). Oxidation of 5,9-diphenyl-8-ethoxycarbonyl-1,3,8,9-tetrahydro-2H-pyrido[3,4-e]-1,4-diazepin-2-one (8d) using p-chloranil afforded 1,3-dihydro-5,9-diphenyl-2H-pyrido[3,4-e]-1,4-diazepin-2-one (10) . 5-Phenyl-8-acetyl-9-n-butyl-1,3,8,9-tetrahydro-2H-pyrido[3,4-e]-1,4-diazepin-2-one (8a) and the corresponding 8-ethoxycarbonyl analog 8c exhibited weak anticonvulsant activity indicating that 8a and 8c may be acting at the same site as the 7-halo-1,4-benzodiazepin-2-one class of compounds.     

The synthesis of oxazolo- and oxazino[3,2-d] [1,4]benzodiazepinones

Cyclization of 2′-benzoyl-4′-chloro-2-[(2-hydroxypropyl)amino]acetanilide (8) and 2′-bcnzoyl-4-ehloro-2-[(3-hydroxypropyl)amino]acetanilide ( 7 ) led to the respective oxazolo (3) and oxazino (5) analogs of 7-chloro-1,3-dihydro-5-phenyl-2H-1,4-benzodiazepin-2-one. Cyclization of 2′-benzoyl-4′-chloro-2-[2,3-dihydroxypropyl)amino]acetanilide ( 9 ) could produce either the oxazolo ( 4 ) or oxazino ( 10 ) analog. Data is presented to show that cyclization occurred to give the oxazolo (4) analog.     

An anomalous reaction of 7-chloro-2-hydrazono-5-phenyl-1,2-dihydro-3H-1,4-benzodiazepine with sodium acetate and 1,1′-carbonyldiimidazole

The addition of 7-chloro-2-hydrazono-5-phenyl-1,2-dihydro-3H-1,4-benzodiazepine 3 to a mixture of sodium acetate and 1,1′-carbonyldiimidazole 1 at room temperature gave, in moderate yields, carbonyl-1,1′-bis[7-chloro-5-phenyl-1,2-dihydro-3H-1,4-benzodiazepin-2-ylidene hydrazone] 7 instead of the expected 2-acetylhydrazono-7-chloro-5-phenyl-1,2-dihydro-3H-1,4-benzodiazepine 4 .     

Syntheses and spectroscopic studies on group IIB metal 1,4-benzodiazepine complexes

Summary The preparation and characterization of some zinc(II) and cadmium(II) halide complexes with 1,3-dihydro-7-nitro-5-phenyl-2H-1,4-benzodiazepin-2-one and 7-chloro-l-methyl-5-phenyl-3H-1,4-benzodiazepin-2-one are reported. The complexes have been studied by means of magnetic susceptibility measurements, i.r. and far-i.r. spectra and conductivity measurements. Assignments for metalligand and metal-halide modes have been made. The evidence suggests that the complexes, which contain 1 : 1.5, 1 : 1, 1 : 2 and 1 : 4 metal : ligand stoichiometric ratios, have a pseudotetrahedral symmetry, with the exception of Zn(Mog)₄Br₂ ·₂H₂O which is octahedral.     

A NOVEL SERIES OF PALLADIUM(II) AND PLATINUM(II) COMPLEXES WITH 1,4-BENZODIAZEPINES AS LIGANDS

Abstract

The complexing behaviour towards palladium(II) and platinum(II) halides of some 1,4-benzodiazepines is reported. The ligands used in this study are 7-chloro-2-methylamino-5-phenyl-3H-1,4-benzodiazepin-4-oxide, 1,3-dihydro-7-nitro-5-phenyl-2H-1,4-benzodiazepin-2-one and 7-chloro-1-methyl-5-phenyl-3H-1,4-benzodiazepin-2-one. The complexes have been studied by means of magnetic susceptibility measurements, infrared and far infrared spectra, electronic spectra and conductivity measurements. The most convincing structural evidence for these complexes is a square planar stereochemistry with bridging ligands joining two metal ions and terminal halides in the 1:1 complexes and terminal ligands and terminal halides in the 1:2 derivatives. Assignments for the metal-ligand and metal-halide bands have also been made.     

Quinazolines and 1,4-benzodiazepines XXXVI . The formation of 1,3-dihydro and 1,5-dihydro-1,4-benzodiazepines from tosyl and Mesyl - substituted 1,3,4,5-tetrahydro-5-phenyl- 1,4-benzodiazepine derivatives

The treatment of 4-sulfonyl derivatives of 5-phenyl-1,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1,4-benzodiazepin-2-ones (I) with base was shown to result in the formation of 1,3-dihydro or 1,5-dihydro-1,4-benzodiazepin-2-ones (III and II respectively) depending upon the conditions used. The base treatment of 1-sulfonyl substituted 2,3-dihydro-1,4-benzodiazepines (V) was shown to give the vinylimines VI.     

Nitration products of substituted 1,3-dihydro-5-phenyl-2H-1,4-benzodiazepin-2-ones

Highly substituted, novel, 1,3-dihydro-5-phenyl-2H-1,4-benzodiazepin-2-ones were obtained by direct nitration of the corresponding mono- or di-substituted 5-phenyl-1,4-benzodiazepines. Substituent effects and the orientation of aromatic substituents in the nitration products are discussed. The single-crystal X-ray structural data for one of these products, 18 , is given.     

Regioselective A-Ring Chlorination of Benzodiazepine Analogues Using tert-Butyl Hypochlorite

Treatment of 2-phenyl-2,3-dihydro-1,4-benzodiazepin-5(4H)-one and a series of 1,4-benzoxazepinone analogues with tert-butyl hypochlorite affords products shown, by NMR and MS spectroscopy, to be chlorinated exclusively in the A-ring at positions 7 and/or 9.     

Chiral 1,4-benzodiazepines. XII. Conformation in a solution of 7-chloro-5-phenyl-3(S)methyl-1,3-dihydro-2H-1,4-benzodiazepine

Deuterium labeled congeners of 7-chloro-5-phenyl-3(S)-methyl-1,3-dihydro-2H-1,4-benzodiazepine ( 8 ), i.e., compounds 9 and 16-18 were prepared and their lis-nmr spectra run. For computational studies compounds 9 and 16 were chosen. The results of lis measurements revealed that 16 is present in more than 97% in the boat-like conformation I (Scheme 3).     

A Short and Efficient Synthesis of Novel N-(2,3-dihydro-2-oxo-5-phenyl-1 H -1,4-benzodiazepin-3-yl)-2-carboxamides

 Several novel N-(2,3-dihydro-2-oxo-5-phenyl-1H-1,4-benzodiazepin-3-yl)-2-carboxamides were prepared by acyl coupling of 2-aminobenzophenones with α-(benzotriazol-1-yl)-N-acylglycines followed by displacement of the benzotriazole ring with ammonia and cyclization of the resulting monoacyl aminals. In addition to high yields and shorter reaction sequences due to avoiding deprotection and acylation of the protected 3-amino-1,4-benzodiazepin-2-one intermediates, the present approach did not involve the use of toxic and odoriferous materials as is the case with other methods.     

1,4-Benzodiazepines and their derivatives

A series of compounds of the merocyanine dye type was obtained by the reaction of 1-acetyl-1,3-dihydro-2H-1,4-benzodiazepin-2-ones and 1,3-dihydro-2H-1,4-benzodiazepine-2-thiones with 2-methylmercapto-3-ethylbenzothiazolium tosylate, 2-methylmercapto-3,4,5-trimethylthiazolium bromide, 2-methylmercapto-3-methyl-5-phenyloxazolium methosulfate, and 1,3,3-trimethyl-2-formylmethyleneindoline. The hydrogen atoms of the methylene group of the 1-unsubstituted and 1-alkyl-substituted 1,3-dihydro-2H-1,4-benzodiazepin-2-ones are of low mobility, and the indicated compounds do not undergo condensation reactions with electrophilic agents.See [6] for communication VI.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 7, pp. 992–994, July, 1971.     

Synthesis of 3H-pyrazol-3-one derivatives containing a 9H-thioxanthene ring

2,4-Dihydro-5-methyl-2-phenyl-4-(9H-thioxanthen-9-yl)-3H-pyrazol-3-one ( 3 ) was prepared by condensing 9H-thioxanthen-9-ol ( 1 ) with 2,4-dihydro-5-methyl-2-phenyl-3H-pyrazol-3-one ( 2 ), or by cyclizing ethyl α-acetyl-9H-thioxanthene-9-acetate ( 4 ) with phenylhydrazine. 2,4-Dihydro-5-methyl-2-phenyl-4-(9H-thioxan- then-9-yl)-3H-pyrazol-3-one 10,10-dioxide ( 8 ) was prepared by cyclizing ethyl α-acetyl-9H-thioxanthene-9-acetate 10,10-dioxide ( 7 ) with phenylhydrazine. Compound 8 was also obtained by oxidizing 3 with hydrogen peroxide in acetic acid. 5-Amino-2,4-dihydro-2-phenyl-4(9H-thioxanthen-9-yl)-3H-pyrazol-3-one ( 10 ) was obtained by condensing 1 with 5-amino-2,4-dihydro-2-phenyl-3H-pyrazol-3-one ( 9 ).
