Features of reactions of polyfluorinated ethyl 4-oxo-2-pnenyl-4H-chromene-3-carboxylates with N-nucleophiles

Ethyl 5,6,7,8-tetrafluoro-4-oxo-2-phenyl-4H-chromene-3-carboxylate in reactions with primary amines is characterized by a chromone-coumarin rearrangement affording 3-[amino(phenyl)methylene]-6,7,8-trifluoro-2H-chromene-2,4(3H)-diones, and ethyl 4-oxo-2-phenyl-5,6,7,8-tetrafluoro-4H-chromene-3-carboxylate characteristically adds the amine at the C² site of the flavone furnishing 3-amino-3-phenyl-2-(2,3,4,5-tetrafluoro-6-hydroxybenzoyl)acrylates which depending on the substituent at the amino group are capable of intramolecular cyclization into 3-[(alkylamino)(phenyl)methylene]-5,6,7,8-tetrafluoro-2H-chromene-2,4(3H)-dione or in the case of benzylamine substituent, into ethyl 1-benzyl-5-hydroxy-4-oxo-2-phenyl-6,7,8-trifluoro-1,4-dihydroquinoline-3-carboxylate. The main process in the reaction of tri- and tetrafluoroflavones with secondary amine (1-methylpiperazine) is the nucleophilic substitution at the C⁷ of flavone. In the reaction with 1,2-phenylenediamine 3-[(2-aminophenyl)amino]-3-phenyl-2-(2,3,4,5-tetrafluoro-6-hydroxybenzoyl)acrylate was obtained from tetrafluoroflavone and 1H-benzimidazol-2-yl(3,4,5-trifluoro-2-hydroxyphenyl)methanone, from trifluoroflavone.     

5,6,7,8-Tetrafluoro-4-hydroxycoumarin derivatives in reactions with o-phenylenediamine

The reactions of 5,6,7,8-tetrafluoro-4-hydroxycoumarin derivatives with o-phenylenediamine occur with pyrone heterocycle cleavage and formation of substituted benzodiazepin-2-ones. 5,6,7,8-Tetrafluoro-4-hydroxycoumarin affords 4-(3,4,5,6-tetrafluoro-2-hydroxyphenyl)-2,3-dihydro-1H-1,5-benzodiazepin-2-one, 3-acetimidoyl-5,6,7,8-tetrafluoro-4-hydroxycoumarin produces 3-(3,4,5,6-tetrafluoro-2-hydroxybenzoyl)-4-methyl-1,2-dihydro-1H-1,5-benzodiazepin-2-one, and 3-acetyl-5,6,7,8-tetrafluoro-4-hydroxycoumarin yields both these heterocycles.

Chemoenzymatic synthesis of both enantiomers of 3-hydroxy-2,3-dihydro-4H-chromen-4-one

4-Oxo-3,4-dihydro-2-chromen-3-yl acetate is synthesized using manganese(III)acetate starting from 2,3-dihydro-4H-chromen-4-one. K₂CO₃ mediated hydrolysis of 4-oxo-3,4-dihdro-2-chromen-3-yl acetate furnished 3-hydroxy-2,3-dihydro-4H-chromen-4-one in high yield.The enantioselective hydrolysis of (±)-4-oxo-3,4-dihydro-2-chromen-3-yl acetate in various organic solvent-phosphate buffer (pH7) systems and enantioselective transesterification of (±)-3-hydroxy-2,3-dihydro-4H-chromen-4-one in organic solvents was investigated by screening a range of lipases. The lipase Amano PS, PPL, PLE and CCL-catalyzed asymmetric ester hydrolysis and transesterification afforded the enantiomers of 3-hydroxy-2,3-dihydro-4H-chromen-4-one and 4-oxo-3,4-dihydro-2-chromen-3-yl acetate with high enantiomeric excess (up to 97% ee) and in good yields.     

Highly regio- and diastereoselective three-component reaction of acyclic/cyclic donor–acceptor carbenoids for the synthesis of angularly fused furocoumarins and spirooxindolylfurocoumarins

A highly regio- and stereoselective method has been developed for the synthesis of spiro[furo[3,4-c]chromene-1,3′-indoline]-2′,4(9bH)-dione derivatives via a three component reaction of cyclic diazoamide and aldehyde with methyl 2-oxo-2H-chromene-3-carboxylate, 3-acetyl-2H-chromen-2-one and 3-benzoyl-2H-chromen-2-one using 3 mol % of Rh₂(OAc)₄. Similarly, acyclic diazoesters also undergo smooth coupling with carbonyl compounds and 3-substituted coumarin in the presence of 1 mol % of Rh₂(OAc)₄ to afford a novel series of tetrahydro-1H-furo[3,4-c]chromene-1-carboxylates in 78–88% yield with high regio- and stereo-selectivity for the first time.     

Multicomponent condensation of 6-acetyl-5,7-dihydroxy-4-methylchromen-2-one with aldehydes and Meldrum´s acid

A fundamen-tal possibility of interconversion of substituted 6-acetyl-10-aryl-5-hydroxy-4-methyl-9,10-dihydropyrano[2,3-f]chromene-2,8-diones and methyl 3-(6-acetyl-5,7-dihydroxy-4-meth-yl-2-oxo-2H-chromen-8-yl)-3-arylpropionates was demonstrated.     

Reactions of 2(3)-ethoxycarbonyl-5,6,7,8-tetrafluorochromones with methylamine

2-Ethoxycarbonyl-5,6,7,8-tetrafluorochromone reacts with methylamine differently, depending on the solvent nature and the amount of the amine: in DMSO and MeCN, the fluorine atom at the C(7) atom is initially replaced and then the C(2) and/or C(9) are attacked, while in ethanol, the reaction involves the C(2) atom with opening of the pyrone ring. The reaction of 3-ethoxycarbonyl-5,6,7,8-tetrafluoro-2-methylchromone with methylamine results, regardless of the solvent, in opening of the chromone ring and the formation of intermediate ethyl 3-(3,4,5,6-tetrafluoro-2-hydroxyphenyl)-2-(1-methylamino)ethylidene-3-oxopropionate, which undergoes intramolecular cyclization to give 5,6,7,8-tetrafluoro-3-(1-methyl-amino)ethylidene-3,4-dihydro-2H-benzopyran-2,4-dione.

Michael reactions of isopropylidenemalononitrile with cyanothioacetamide (in the presence of 4-methoxyphenacyl bromide), cyclohexane-1,3-dione, and 4-hydroxycoumarin, gave 6-amino-2-(4-methoxy-benzoylmethylsulfanyl)-4,4-dimethyl-1,4-dihydropyridine-3,5-dicarbonitrile, 2-amino-4,4-dimethyl-5-oxo-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-4H-chromene-3-carbonitrile, and 2-amino-4,4-dimethyl-5-oxo-4H,5H-pyrano[3,2-c]-chromene-3-carbonitrile, respectively. In the reaction of isopropylidenemalononitrile with cyanoacetamide, only dimerization product of the former, 2-amino-4,6,6-trimethylcyclohexa-2,4-diene-1,1,3-tricarbonitrile, was isolated. Its structure was proved by X-ray analysis.

The molecular and crystal structures of the ionic associate formed by 2-aminobenzimidazolium cation solvated by one dimethyl sulfoxide molecule and 3,3′-(phenylmethylene)bis(4-hydroxy-2H-chromen-2- one) anion were determined by X-ray analysis. This associate was isolated in the acid-catalyzed three-component reaction of 4-hydroxy-2H-chromen-2-one with benzimidazol-2-amine and benzaldehyde together with regioisomeric dihydrochromenopyrimidobenzimidazolones resulting from the classical Biginelli condensation. The steric and electronic structures of the cation and anion were calculated at the B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p) level of theory in combination with NBO analysis. Factors stabilizing the ion pair and crystal field effects on the stability of the associate and its constituents were considered.

3-Arylhydrazono-4-polyfluoroalkyl-2,4-dioxobutanoates reacted with hydrazines to give ethyl 4-aryldiazeno-3-polyfluoroalkyl-1H-pyrazole-5-carboxylates, while analogous reactions of ethyl 3-arylhydrazono-4-pentafluorophenyl-2,4-dioxobutanoates resulted in the formation of 4-aryldiazeno-3-pentafluorophenyl-1,2-dihydropyridazine-5,6-diones or 6-aryl-7,8,9,10-tetrafluoro-2-phenyl-2,4a,6,10b-tetradropyridazo[4,3-c]cinnoline-3,4-diones, depending on the conditions. Cyclocondensation of ethyl 3-arylhydrazono-4-polyfluoroalkyl(or pentafluorophenyl)-2,4-dioxobutanoates with ethylenediamine led to 3-[1-arylhydrazono-2-oxo-2-polyfluoroalkyl(or pentafluorophenyl)ethyl]-5,6-dihydropyrazin-2(1H)-ones, and 3-[1-arylhydrazono-2-oxo-2-polyfluoroalkyl(pentafluorophenyl)ethyl]benzoxazin-2-ones were formed in the condensation with o-aminophenol. Pentafluorophenyl-substituted heterocycles were found to undergo intramolecular ring closure to give 3-hetaryl-substituted 1-aryl-5,6,7,8-tetrafluoro-1,4-dihydrocinnolin-4-ones. The reactions of ethyl 3-arylhydrazono-4-pentafluorophenyl-2,4-dioxobutanoates with o-aminobenzenethiol gave 3-[7-(2-aminophenylsulfanyl)-1-aryl-5,6,8-trifluoro-4-oxo-1,4-dihydrocinnolin-3-yl]benzothiazin-2-ones; 8a-hydroxy-11,12,13,14-tetrafluoro-10-(4-methoxyphenyl)-2,3,4,5,6,7,8a,10-octahydropyrazino[1′,2′:4,5][1,4]diazepino[6,7-c]cinnolin-8-one was isolated in the condensation of ethyl 3-(4-methoxyphenylhydrazono)-4-pentafluorophenyl-2,4-dioxobutanoate with N-(2-aminoethyl)ethane-1,2-diamine.

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.

Azines and azoles: CXXV. New regioselective synthesis of 1-amino-6-methyluracils

Readily accessible 5-acetyl-4-hydroxy-3,6-dihydro-2H-1,3-thiazine-2,6-dione reacts with substituted hydrazines and carboxylic acid hydrazides under mild conditions to give the corresponding hydrazones. Under severe conditions (heating in boiling dimethylformamide) the reaction is accompanied by extrusion of COS with formation of substituted 1-amino-6-methyluracils. Reactions of 5-acetyl-4-hydroxy-3,6-dihydro-2H-1,3-thiazine-2,6-dione with monosubstituted alkyl-and arylhydrazines take different pathways, depending on the conditions. Heating of equimolar mixtures of the reactants in ethanol or propan-1-ol leads to the formation of 2-substituted 5-methyl-3-oxo-2,3-dihydro-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxamides rather than 1-amino-6-methyluracil derivatives.

The esterification of 2-{7-[(methoxycarbonyl)amino]-2-oxo-2H-chromen-4-yl}acetic acid with methanol in the presence of TsOH provided the corresponding ester. The oxidation of its α-methylene group with selenium dioxide led to the formation of methyl 2-{7-[(methoxycarbonyl)amino]-2-oxo-2H-chromen-4-yl}-2-oxo-acetate entering into a condensation with o-phenylenediamine resulting in a derivative with a dihydroquinoxaline fragment. The reaction of phenyl N-(4-formylphenyl)carbamate with 3-acetyl-2H-chromen-2-one in butanol in the presence of catalytic quantity of piperidine and acetic acid furnished 4-[(E)-3-oxo-2H-chromen-3-yl)-1-propenyl]phenyl N-phenylcarbamate.
