The reaction of 1,7-dimethyl-3(2H)-benzo[b]furo[2,3-c]pyridone with phosphoric acid amides gave 1,7-dimethyl-3-dimethylamino (morpholino)benzo[b]furo[2,3-c]pyridines. A method for the synthesis of 3-amino derivatives of 4-nitrobenzo[b]furo[2,3-c]pyridines, which consists in heating 1,7-dimethyl-4-nitro-3(2H)-benzo[b]furo[2,3-c]pyridone with hexamethyldisilazane and secondary or primary amines in pyridine, was developed.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 11, pp. 1552–1555, November, 1991.     

Furopyridines. XX. Wittig-horner reaction of a phosphonate of reissert analogues of furo[3,2-c]-, -[2,3-c]- and -[3,2-b]pyridines

Furo[3,2-c]-( 1a ), -[2,3-c]- ( 1b ) and -[3,2-b]pyridine ( 1c ) were reacted with isopropyl chloroformate and trimethyl phosphite to give dimethyl 5-isopropoxycarbonyl-4,5-dihydrofuro[3,2-c]pyridine-4-phosphonate ( 2a ), dimethyl 6-isopropoxycarbonyl-6,7-dihydrofuro[2,3-c]pyridine-7-phosphonate ( 2b ) and dimethyl 4-isopropoxycarbonyl-4,7-dihydrofuro[3,2-b]pyridine-7-phosphonate ( 2c ) as unstable syrups. Reaction of 2b and 2c with n-butyllithium and then with benzaldehyde, p-methoxybenzaldehyde, p-cyanobenzalde-hyde or propionaldehyde afforded the normal Wittig reaction products 5b-H, 5b-OMe, 5b-CN, 5b-Et, 5c-H, 5c-H, 5c-OMe and 5c-CN , except for 2b with propionaldehyde. While, the same reactions of compound 2a and the reaction of 2b with propionaldehyde afforded the unexpected products, 5-isopropoxycar-bonylfuro[3,2-c]pyridinio-4-aryl-(or ethyl)methoxides 3a-H, 3a-OMe, 3a-CN and 3a-Et , 4-(1′-aryl(or ethyl)-1′-hydroxymethyl)furo[3,2-c]pyridines 4a-H, 4a-OMe, 4a-CN and 4a-Et accompanying formation of the normal products. Treatment of the normal Wittig reaction products with lithium diisopropylamide and then with acetone gave the derivatives alkylated at the 2-or the benzylic positions.

New pyrrolo[3,4-c]isoxazole derivatives were synthesized from the key intermediates 4-cyanopyrrolidin-3-ones in two steps. Pyrrolo[2,3-d][1,2,3]triazoles and triazolo[4,5-c]pyridazine were obtained from 2-arylhydrazono-4-cyano-1-(4′-methoxyphenyl)-3-oxopyrrolidines by refluxing with phenylhydrazine in either ethanol or glacial acetic acid. Aldol self-condensation of 1-aryl-4-cyanopyrrolidin-3-ones afforded dipyrrolo-[3,2-b:3′, 4′-d]pyran derivatives. __________ Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 12, pp. 1841–1848, December, 2007.

Synthesis and nitration of NH- and N-vinyl-4,5,7-trimethyl-4,5,6,7-tetrahydropyrrolo[3,2-c]pyridines

It has been shown that the most efficient catalysts for the synthesis of 4,5,7-trimethyl-4,5,6,7-tetrahydropyrrolo[3,2-c]pyridine from 1,2,5-trimethylpyridin-4-one and acetylene under Trofimov conditions are rubidium and potassium hydroxides. Use of Triton B or a mixture of trimethylbenzylammonium chloride with rubidium hydroxide as catalyst gives O-alkylated oxime. Their configurations and conformations were established through separation of the individual isomers of 1-vinyl-4,5,7-trimethyl-4,5,6,7-tetrahydropyrrolo[3,2-c]pyridines. Acetyl nitrate nitration of the cis isomer of this compound gave the 2- and 3-nitro derivatives. Similar nitration of 4,5,7-trimethyl-4,5,6,7-tetrahydropyrrolo[3,2-c]pyridine gave the 2-nitro-7-hydroxy derivative.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 10, pp. 1375–1380, October, 1991.

Pi-extended o-quinoidal tropone derivatives: experimental and theoretical studies of naphtho[2,3-c]tropone and anthro[2,3-c]tropone

pi-Extended o-quinoidal tropone derivatives, naphtho[2,3-c]tropone (3) and anthro[2,3-c]tropone (4), have been investigated theoretically as well as experimentally. The geometrical optimization of 3,4 and related compounds at the B3LYP level employing 6-31G* basis set as well as the GIAO calculations at the RHF level employing the 6-31+G* basis set have been performed to evaluate the contributions of the polarized resonance forms to these molecules. The GIAO calculated NICS(1) values indicate that the aromaticities of the tropone rings of o-quinoidal 3 and 4 are significantly increased as compared with that of parent tropone (1) at the expense of the fused benzenoid rings, consistent with the significant electronic polarization of these molecules in the ground state. On the other hand, the fusion of a benzene or naphthalene ring to the 2,3- or 4,5-position of tropone leads to diminution of aromaticity in the resulting tropone moiety. Experimentally, irradiation of 6,7-(2',3'-naphtho)bicyclo[3.2.0]hepta-3,6-dien-2-one (10) in a rigid glass at -196 degrees C leads to the formation of, which exhibits a characteristic UV-Vis absorption extending to 700 nm and undergoes rapid [pi 12 + pi 14] dimerization upon thawing the glass. In contrast, 6,7-(2',3'-anthro)bicyclo[3.2.0]hepta-3,6-dien-2-one (11) showed no sign of isomerization to 4 under the same reaction conditions.     

Synthesis and reactions of 2,3-dimethylfuro[3,2-c]pyridines

Summary A number of substituted 2,3-dimethylfuro[3,2-c]pyridines was synthesized. 3-(4,5-Dimethyl-2-furyl)propenoic acid (1) was converted to the acid azide2, which in turn was cyclized to give 2,3-dimethyl-5H-furo[3,2-c]pyridine-4-one (3) by heating at 240°C in Dowtherm. The pyridone3 was chlorinated with phosphorus oxychloride to give4, which was reduced with zinc and acetic acid to 2,3-dimethylfuro[3,2-c]pyridine (5). Treatment of4 with several secondary heterocyclic amines led to compounds6a–6c. Reaction of pyridone3 with phosphorus pentasulfide rendered the thione7, which was methylated to8a. The 4-methoxy derivative8b was obtained from4 with sodium methoxide. 2,3,5-Trimethylfuro[3,2-c]pyridine-4-one (9) was obtained by reaction of3 with methyl iodide.Dedicated to Professor Dr.Fritz Sauter on the occasion of his 65th birthday     

A new synthesis of benzofuro[3,2-c]pyridines

Based on the reaction of 8-R-4,5-dihydro-4,4-dimethyl[1,2]dithiolo[3,4-c]quinoline-1-thiones with oxalyl chloride followed by the reactions of 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition and diene synthesis with participation of acetylenedicarboxylic acid dimethyl ester, we have developed approaches to synthesis of novel polycondensed heterocyclic systems: [1,2]dithiolo[3,4-c]pyrrolo[3,2,1-ij]quinoline-4,5-dione, 6-(1,3-dithiol-2-ylidene)-1,2-dioxo-5-thioxo-7H-pyrrolo[3,2,1-ij]quinoline and 4,5-dioxospiro(pyrrolo)-[3,2,1-ij]thiopyrano[2,3-c]quinoline-11,2′-[1,3]dithiole. __________ Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 4, pp. 610–615, April, 2006.     

A convenient approach to heterocyclic building blocks: synthesis of novel ring systems containing a [5,6]Pyrano[2,3-c]pyrazol-4(1H)-one moiety

Starting from commercially available educts, a straightforward synthetic route to new heterocyclic building blocks is exemplified with the one- or two-step synthesis of tri-, tetra-, or pentacyclic ring systems. Representatives of the following novel ring systems are prepared from 3-methyl-1-phenyl-2-pyrazolin-5-one and the corresponding o-halo-arenecarbonyl chloride using calcium hydroxide in refluxing 1,4-dioxane: pyrimidino[4',5':5,6]pyrano[2,3-c]pyrazol-4(1H)-one, thieno[3',2':5,6]pyrano[2,3c]pyrazol- 4-(1H)-one, thieno[3',4':5,6]pyrano[2,3-c]pyrazol-4(1H)-one, thieno[3',2':4',5']thieno[2',3':5,6]-pyrano[2,3-c]pyrazol-4(1H)-one, [1,3]dioxolo[5',6'][1]benzothieno[2',3':5,6]pyrano-[2,3-c]- pyrazol-4(1H)-one, pyridazino[4',3':5,6]pyrano[2,3-c]pyrazol-4(1H)-one and pyrazolo-[4',3':5',6']pyrido[3',4':5,6]pyrano[2,3-c]pyrazol-4(1H)-one. While the latter two ring systems are directly obtained due to a spontaneous intramolecular substitution reaction, in the other reactions uncyclised 4-aroylpyrazol-5-ols are produced, which are cyclised into the target heterocycles in a subsequent synthetic step (i.e. treatment with NaH in DMF). Detailed NMR spectroscopic investigations ((1)H-, (13)C-, (15)N-) with the obtained compounds were undertaken to unambiguously prove the new structures.     

Synthesis of polysubstituted 4,5,6,7-tetrahydrofuro[2,3-c]pyridines by a novel multicomponent reaction

[reaction: see text] A novel three-component synthesis of tetrahydrofuro[2,3-c]pyridines from readily accessible starting materials is described. Simply heating a toluene solution of an aminopentynoate, an aldehyde, and an alpha-isocyanoacetamide in the presence of ammonium chloride provided the 4,5,6,7-tetrahydrofuro[2,3-c]pyridines in good to excellent yield. The fused ring system is produced in this one-pot process by the concomitant formation of five chemical bonds.

Synthesis and antiplatelet activities of N-arylmethyl-3,4-dimethylpyrano[2,3-c]pyrazol-6-one derivatives.

A series of new 1- and 2-arylmethyl-3,4-dimethylpyrano[2,3-c]pyrazol-6-one derivatives were synthesized and examined for their antiplatelet activities. Some of these compounds showed significant inhibitory activities. Among them, 1-phenylmethyl-3,4-dimethylpyrano[2,3-c]pyrazol-6(1H)-one (4a), 2-(2'-methoxyphenyl)methyl-3,4-dimethylpyrano[2,3-c]pyrazol-6(2H)- one (3e) and 2-(3'-methoxyphenyl)methyl-3,4-dimethylpyrano[2,3-c]pyrazol-6-(2H) - one (3f) were the most effective. These inhibitors acted in a concentration-dependent manner. The antiplatelet effect of compound 3f is due to the inhibition of thromboxane A2 formation and the blockade of thromboxane A2/prostaglandin endoperoxide receptor in washed rabbit platelets.     

Synthesis,photochemical synthesis and antitumor evaluation of novel derivatives of thieno[3',2':4,5]thieno[2,3-c]quinolones

The novel derivatives of thieno[3',2':4,5]thieno[2,3-c]quinolones 6a, 6b, 7, 10a and 10b were synthesized in multistep synthesis starting from thiophene-3-carboxaldehyde and malonic acid reacting in aldol condensation or from 3-bromothiophenes or methyl 4-bromothiophene-2-carboxylate reacting in Heck reaction. They resulted in corresponding substituted thienylacrylic acids 3a-c, which were cyclized into thieno[2,3-c]thiophene-2-carbonyl chlorides 4a-c and converted into thieno[2,3-c]thiophene-2-carboxamides 5a-d. Prepared carboxamides were photochemically dehydrohalogenated into corresponding substituted thieno[3',2':4,5]thieno[2,3-c]quinolones 6a-d. Compound 7 was prepared from 6d by alkylation with N-[3-(dimethylamino)propyl]chloride hydrochloride in the presence of NaH. Compounds 10a and 10b were prepared from 6c in the multistep synthesis over acid 8 and acid chloride 9. Compounds 6a, 6b, 7, 10a and 10b were found to exert cytostatic activities against malignant cell lines: pancreatic carcinoma (MiaPaCa2), breast carcinoma (MCF7), cervical carcinoma (HeLa), laryngeal carcinoma (Hep2), colon carcinoma (CaCo-2), melanoma (HBL), and human fibroblast cell lines (WI-38). The compound 6b, which bears the 3-dimethylaminopropyl substituent on quinolone nitrogen and methoxycarbonyl substituent on position 9, exhibited marked antitumor activity. On the contrary, compound 7, which also bears the 3-dimethylaminopropyl substituent on the quinolone nitrogen but anilido substituent on position 9, exhibited less antitumor activity than the others.
