Condensed isoquinolines 26. Oxidation reactions of 6,11-dihydro-13H-isoquino-[3,2-<Emphasis Type="Italic">b</Emphasis>]quinazolin-13-one derivatives

Oxidation of the hydrobromide of 6,11-dihydro-13H-isoquino[3,2-b]quinazolin-13-one with dimethyl sulfoxide leads to 11-hydroxy-11H-isoquino[3,2-b]quinazoline-6,13-dione, and with hydrogen peroxide to the hydrobromide of 2-[(4-oxo-3,4-dihydro-2-quinazolinyl)carbonyl]benzoic acid. Salts of 5-and 6-alkyl-substituted isoquino[3,2-b]quinazolines are readily oxidized on boiling in nitrobenzene, which leads to aromatization of the isoquino[3,2-b]quinazoline system to 5-methyl-13-oxo-5H,13H-isoquino[ 3,2-b]quinazolinium perchlorate and 6-benzyl-13H-isoquino[3,2-b]quinazolin-13-one. The structures of the dehydrogenation products were established from ¹H NMR and UV spectra. The interaction of the obtained compounds with NaBH₄ has been studied. __________ Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 12, pp. 1833–1840, December, 2007.     

Condensed isoquinolines 25. Alkylation of 6,11-dihydro-13H-isoquino[3,2-<Emphasis Type="Italic">b</Emphasis>]quinazolin-13-one

Interaction of 6,11-dihydro-13H-isoquino[2,3-b]quinazolin-13-one with alkylating agents occurs at two positions depending on their nature and the reaction conditions-at C₍₆₎ or N₍₅₎. Fusion with methyl tosylate leads to 5-methyl-13-oxo-6,13-dihydro-11H-isoquino[3,2-b]quinazolin-5-ium salts, while interaction with benzyl halides in the presence of i-PrONa gave 6-benzyl-and 6,6-dibenzyl-6,11-dihydro-13H-isoquino[3,2-b]quinazolin-13-ones. Alkylation with olefins led to two types of products. In the case of maleinimides and maleic acid anhydride Michael adducts at C₍₆₎ were formed and in the case of cyanocinnamic acid esters the reaction was accompanied by intramolecular acylation at N₍₅₎ to give 1-aryl-3,9-dioxo-3H,9H,11H-benzo[5,6][1,8]naphthyridino[1,8-ab]quinazoline-2-carbonitrile. __________ Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No.11, 1698–1708, November 2007.     

Condensed isoquinolines 24. Reaction of 6,11-dihydro-13H-isoquino[3,2-<Emphasis Type="Italic">b</Emphasis>]quinazolin-13-one with carbonyl compounds

The reaction of 6,11-dihydro-13H-isoquino[3,2-b]quinazolin-13-one with carbonyl compounds occurs at the C₍₆₎ and/or N₍₅₎ atoms depending on the nature of the reagent and the conditions. Condensation with aldehydes gives 6-arylidene-6,11-dihydro-13H-isoquino[3,2-b]quinazolin-13-ones. Acylation using acid anhydrides or acid chlorides gave 5-acyl-, 6-acyl-, and 5,6-diacyl-5,11-dihydro-13H-isoquino[3,2-b]quinazolin-13-ones depending again on the reaction conditions. Acylation using chloroacetyl chloride is accompanied by an intramolecular alkylation to give 7H,8H-2a, 7a-diaza-cyclopenta[f,g]naphthacene-1,7(2H)-dione. Phenyl isocyanate gave the derivative containing a CONHPh group at position 6. __________ Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 10, pp. 1509–1520, October, 2007.

The reaction of 3-haloanthranilic acids with o-bromomethylphenylacetonitrile gave 2-(2-carboxy-6-halophenyl)-1,4-dihydro-3(2H)-isoquinolinium bromides. 2-Chlorophenylisoquinolinium bromides are readily converted into 4-R-6,11-dihydro-13H-isoquino[3,2-b]quinazolin-13-ones by heating >145°C, but 2,4-dibromophenylisoquinolinium bromide only on fusing with anthranilic acid. The effect of the nature and position of substituents in the quinazoline fragment of 7,12-dihydro-5H-isoquino[2,3-a]quinazolin-5-ones on the rate of the rearrangement into 6,11-dihydro-13H-isoquino[3,2-b]quinazol-13-ones has been studied. The oxidation and borohydride reduction of 6,11-dihydro-13H-isoquino[3,2-b]quinazol-13-ones has been studied. __________ Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 6, 899–909, June, 2007.     

Condensed isoquinolines 27*. Synthesis and oxidation reactions of 5,13-dihydro-11H-isoquino[3,2-<Emphasis Type="Italic">b</Emphasis>]quinazolin-11-one

Condensation of 2-(cyanomethyl)benzoic acid with 2-aminobenzylamine gave 6,11-dihydro-13H-isoquino[3,2-b]quinazolin-11-one. Its oxidation in nitrobenzene led to the formation of 5,13,5′,13′-hexahydro[6,6′]bi[isoquino[3,2-b]quinazoline]-11,11′-dione, but in dichlorobenzene in the presence of elemental sulfur and iodine it gave the rearrangement product 6H-dibenzo[b,f][1,8]naphthyridin-5-one. __________ Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No.2, 273–279, February, 2008.     

Condensed isoquinolines 30. Acylation and alkylation of 5,13-dihydro-11H-isoquino-[3,2-<Emphasis Type="Italic">b</Emphasis>]quinazolin-11-one

It was shown that 6-acyl-5,13-dihydro-11H-isoquino[3,2-b]quinazolin-11-ones are formed when 5,13-dihydro-11H-isoquino[3,2-b]quinazolin-11-one is heated with the chlorides and anhydrides of carboxylic acids in the presence of bases (pyridine, NaOAc) while 5-acyl-5,13-dihydro-11H-isoquino[3,2-b]quinazolin-11-ones are formed in the presence of NaH. In the presence of NaH 6-acyl-5,13-dihydro-11H-isoquino[3,2-b]quinazolin-11-ones form the products from acylation and alkylation at position 5. The action of heat on 5,13-dihydro-11H-isoquino[3,2-b]quinazolin-11-one in oxalyl chloride leads to 7H,8H-2a,7a-diazacyclopenta[fg]naphthacene-1,2,8-trione. __________ Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 5, pp. 741–750, May, 2008.     

Condensed isoquinolines 23. Reaction of <Emphasis Type="Italic">o</Emphasis>-bromomethylphenyl-acetonitrile with anthranilic acids: Synthesis of 6H, 12H,17H-dibenzo[3,4:6,7][1,8]-naphthyridino[1,8-<Emphasis Type="Italic">ab</Emphasis>]quinazoline-6,17-diones

The direction of the reaction of anthranilic acids with o-bromomethylphenylacetonitrile upon fusion depends on the temperature and nature of the substituent in the anthranilic acid. The reaction may lead to three types of products: Derivatives of 7,12-dihydro-5H-isoquino[2,3-a]quinazolin-5-ones below 150°C and to 6,11-dihydro-13H-isoquino[3,2-b]quinazolin-13-one or derivatives of 6H,12H,17H-dibenzo[3,4:6,7][1,8]naphthyridino[1,8-ab]quinazoline-6,17-diones above 150°C depending on the nature of the substituent in the anthranilic acid. A study was carried out on the mechanism for the formation of 6H,12H,17H-dibenzo[3,4:6,7][1,8]naphthyridino[1,8-ab]quinazoline-6,17-diones, which permitted the preparation of 6-(4-methylphenyl)-6,12-dihydro-5H-isoquino[2,3-a]quinazolin-5-one. __________ Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 7, pp. 1059–1067, July, 2007.     

Condensed isoquinolines 31. Reaction of 5-aryl-3-halo-12H-isoquino[2,3-a]quinazolines with electrophilic reagents

Treatment of 5-aryl-3-halo-12H-isoquino[2,3-a]quinazolines with electrophilic reagents readily forms their oxidation products. Acylation of the 3-chloro-5-phenyl-7,12-dihydroisoquino[2,3-a]quinazolinium perchlorate with Ac₂O in the presence of pyridine gave the product of electrophilic substitution at the C-7 atom 1-(3-chloro-5-phenyl-12H-isoquino[2,3-a]quinazolin-7-yl)-1-ethanone. By the same route phenacyl bromides react with the anhydro base 1 to give 5-aryl-7-(2-aryl-2-oxoethyl)-3-halo-isoquino[2,3-a]quinazolin-13-ium bromides. These salts readily react with nucleophilic reagents to form the products of addition at the C-12 atom. __________ Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 7, pp. 1044–1052, July, 2008.

Heating 5,13-dihydro-11H-isoquino[3,2-b]quinazolin-11-one with isonicotinoyl chloride in pyridine gives 6-isonicotinoyl-5,13-dihydro-11H-isoquino[3,2-b]quinazolin-11-one. The 1-alkyl-4[(11-oxo-5,13-dihydro-11H-isoquino[3,2-b]quinazolin-6-yl)carbonyl]pyridinium iodides obtained by alkylation of 6-isonicotinoyl-5,13-dihydro-11H-isoquino[3,2-b]quinazolin-11-one using alkyl iodides in the presence of NaH are converted to 1′-R-spiro[7H,8H-2a,7a-diazacyclopenta[fg]naphthacene-2,4′(1′H)-pyridine]-1,8(2H)-diones.

Condensed Isoquinolines. 10. Borohydride Reduction in the 5H-Isoquino[2,3-a]quinazolin-5-one Series

Borohydride reduction in a series of 7-benzyl- and newly synthesized 7-arylmethylene-7,12-dihydro-5H-isoquino[2,3-a]quinazolin-5-ones leads stereoselectively to erythro-7-benzyl-6,6a,7,12-tetrahydro-5H-isoquino[2,3-a]quinazolin-5-ones. 7,7-Disubstituted 7,12-dihydro-5H-isoquino[2,3-a]quinazolin-5-ones are inert to the action of sodium borohydride, but spiro[5H-isoquino[2,3-a]quinazolin-7(12H),2'-indane]-5-one is reduced under rigid conditions to 6,6a-dihydrospiro[5H-isoquino[2,3-a]quinazolin-7(12H),2'-indan]-5-one. 7-Acetyl- and 7-benzoyl-6,11-dihydro-5H-isoquino[2,3-a]quinazolin-5-ones are converted in an aqueous alcoholic solution of sodium borohydride to the previously described 6,6a,7,12-tetrahydro-5H-isoquino[2,3-a]quinazolin-5-one. The structure and special features of the conformational behavior of the reduction products obtained were demonstrated by ¹H NMR spectroscopy.!     

Condensed isoquinolines. 9. Alkylation of 7,12-dihydro-5H-isoquino[2,3-a]quinazolin-5-ones

The alkylation of 7,12-dihydro-5H-isoquino[2,3-a]quinazolin-5-one proceeds at N₍₆₎ or C_(–) depending on the type of alkylating agent and reaction conditions. C_(–)-Alkylation occurs in the presence of base. The secondary alkylation of the 7-alkyl derivatives occurs at the same position under these conditions. Depending on the conditions, the reaction with o-xylylene dibromide leads to spiro[5H-isoquino[2,3-a]quinazolin-7(12H).2-indane]-5-one or 11-oxo-4b,5,10,16-tetrahydro-11H-10a-azonia-15b-azadibenz[a,e]pleiadene bromide, which are derivatives of new heterocyclic systems.Communication 8, see ref.

The reaction of substituted anthranilic acids and esters with o-bromomethylphenylacetonitrile give 2,3-R,R¹-7,12-dihydro-5H-isoquino[2,3-a]quinazolin-5-one hydrobromides. It was found that 7,12-dihydro-5H-isoquino[2,3-a]quinazolin-5-ones can exist in the two tautomeric imine and enamine forms. The tautomeric equilibrium position depends on the nature and position of the substituent in the quinazoline fragment.

The reaction of 7,12-dihydro-5H-isoquino[2,3-a]quinazolin-5-ones with o-xylidene dibromide leads to 11-oxo-4bH,5H,10H,11H,16H-10a-aza-15b-azoniadibenzo[a,e]pleiadene bromides, which are converted to 11-oxo-10H,11H,16H-10a-aza-15b-azoniadibenzo[a,e]pleiadene salts upon oxidation using nitrobenzene. The reaction of these salts with benzylamine leads to 6-{2-[(benzylimino)methyl]phenyl}-7,12-dihydroisoquino[3,2-b][2]benzazepin-14(6H)-ones, which recyclize to 11-oxo-5H,10H,11H-10a-aza-15b-azoniadibenzo[a,e]pleiadene perchlorates upon the action of perchloric acid. The reactions of the 10a,15b-diazadibenzo[a,e]pleiadene salts obtained with NaBH₄ were studied and the structures of the reduction products were determined by spectral methods. __________ Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 2, pp. 280–292, February, 2008.

2,3-Dihydro-5H-thiazolo[2,3-b]quinazolin-5-one and 3,4-dihydro-2H,6H[1,3] thiazino[2,3-b]-quinazolin-6-one have been synthesized in one step by the reaction of methyl anthranilate with ehloroalkyl isothiocyanates.     

Studies on quinazolinones. 2. Synthesis of 2-(4-benzylpiperazin-1-ylmethyl)-2,3-dihydro-5H-oxazolo[2,3–6]quinazolin-5-one and -2,3-dihydro-5H-thiazolo[2,3-b]quinazolin-5-one

To search for novel antihypertensive heterocycles in the condensed quinazoline series, two representative compounds were synthesized via a suitable reaction sequences. Treating anthranilonitrile with allyl isocyanate gave 2-(allylureido)benzonitrile ( 10 ) in a quantitative yield. Compound 10 was cyclized to 3-allylquinazoline-2(1H, 4(3H)-dione ( 11 ). Bromination of 11 in carbon tetrachloride converted it into the corresponding 3-(2,3-dibromopropyl) derivative ( 12 ) in 92% yield. Ring closure of 12 was effected by the action of alkali to afford 2-bromomethyl-2,3-dihydro-5H-oxazolo[2,3-b]quinazolin-5-one ( 13 ). The title compound, 2-(4-benzylpiperazin-1-ylmethyl)-2,3-dihydro-5H-oxazolo[2,3-b]quinazolin-5-one ( 7 ) could be obtained by a reaction of either 12 or 13 with 1-benzylpiperazine respectively. Starting from the readily available 3-allyl-2H-thioxoquinazolin-4(3H)-one ( 16 ) via the analogous reactions gave the 2-bromomethyl-2,3-dihydro-5H-thiazolo[2,3-b]-quinazolin-5-one ( 19 ) in good yield. However, the reaction of 19 with 1-benzylpiperazine provided another target compound, 2-(4-benzylpiperazin-1-ylmethyl)-2,3-dihydro-5H-thiazolo[2,3-b]quinazolin-5-one ( 8 ) only in poor yield (8%). As major product, the dehydrobrominated compound, 2-methylene-2,3-dihydro-5H-thiazolo[2,3-b]quinazolin-5-one ( 22 ) was isolated. A preliminary pharmacological evaluation revealed that both compounds 7 and 8 are devoid of the antihypertensive activity.

We have shown that the presence of an aryl substituent at the 2 position of [1,3-thiazino[3,2-a]benzimidazol-4-ones has a substantial effect on the direction of the reactions. __________ Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 3, pp. 445–452, March, 2006.     

Condensed Isoquinolines. 17. Enamine Properties of Benzimidazo[1,2-b]isoquinolin-11(5H)-one in Alkylation Reactions

The alkylation of benzimidazo[1,2-b]isoquinolin-11(5H)-one has been studied. This occurs at N₍₅₎ or C₍₆₎ depending on the type of alkylating agent and the reaction conditions. It was shown that C₍₆₎ alkylation is effected in reactions with reactive alkyl halides. A repeat alkylation occurs preferentially at the same position. Interaction with o-xylylidene dibromide leads to spiro[benzimidazo[1,2-b]-isoquinolin-6,2'-indan]-11-one and 1,6-dihydro-11H-6a,11b-diazobenzo[b]benzo[5,6]cyclohepta[1,2,3-l,m]fluoren-11-one, which are derivatives of new heterocyclic systems.
