1-Alkyl(aryl)imidazolidine-2,4-diones reacted with Vilsmeier-Haack reagent affording 1-alkyl(aryl)-2,4-dichloro-1H-imidazole-5-carbaldehydes whose reactions with sodium azide, sodium alkoholates, with phenols, thiols, and secondary cycloalkylamines led to the substitution of chlorine in the position 2 of the imidazole ring. The reaction with primary amines resulted in the condensation products at the aldehyde group.     

A new method for the synthesis of 5-bromo(aryl)methylene-substituted hydantoins

It has been shown that bromination of 5-aryl-5-benzylidene-3,5-dihydro-4H-2-methylthioimidazol-4-one in methylene chloride at room temperature leads to the addition of bromine at the double bond, but the the reaction of 5-aryl-3,5-dihydro-4H-2-methylthio-5-(2-pyridylmethylene)imidazol-4-one gave complex compound of the starting materials. After boiling both of the compounds obtained in ethanol the corresponding 5-[bromo(aryl)methylene]imidazolidine-2,4-diones were obtained. Dedicated to Academician B. A. Trofimov on his 70^th jubilee.

Synthesis and cytotoxicity of oxindoles dispiro derivatives with thiohydantoin and adamantane fragments

Abstract

An effective and highly regio- and diastereoselective one-pot synthesis of two types of dispiro heterocyclic systems (2-thioxodispiro[imidazolidine-4,3′-pyrrolidine-2′,3″-indoline]-2″,5-diones and 2-thioxodispiro[imidazolidine-4,3′-pyrrolidine-4′,3″-indoline]-2″,5-diones) comprising pyrrolidinyl-oxindole, thiohydantoin and adamantane moieties has been developed based on a 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of azomethine ylides, generated from isatin and sarcosine or formaldehyde and sarcosine, to adamantane-containing electron-deficient alkenes. Several molecules have demonstrated a considerable cytotoxicity against A549, HEK293T, MCF7 and VA13 cancer cell lines. The possible mechanism of anticancer activity of the synthesized compounds based on literature data may be the inhibition of p53/MDM2 interaction; however, we did not observe significant p53 activation using a reporter construction in A549 cell line in the relevant concentration range.

Reaction of 3-chloroquinoline-2,4-diones with ethanolamine and rearrangement of the reaction products

The reaction of tertiary α-chloroketones with ethanolamine has not been hitherto described in the literature. Herein, we describe the reaction of tertiary 3-chloroquinoline-2,4-diones with ethanolamine to give novel 3-(2-hydroxyethylamino)quinoline-2,4-diones. These compounds provide 3-(2-oxooxazolidin-3-yl)quinoline-2,4(1H,3H)-diones and new compounds with dimeric character after reaction with triphosgene. Molecular rearrangement proceeds during the reaction of 3-(2-hydroxyethylamino)quinoline-2,4-diones with isocyanic acid. Three types of reaction products arise: 2-(2-hydroxyethyl)imidazo[1,5-c]quinazoline-3,5-diones, 3-(2-hydroxyethyl)-3,3a-dihydro-2H-imidazo[4,5-]quinoline-4(5H)diones and primarily 5-hydroxy-1-(hydroxyethyl)-1′H-spiro[imidazolidine-5,3′-indole]-2,2′-diones. The reaction mechanism and product stereochemistry are discussed. The ¹H, ¹³C and ¹⁵N NMR spectra of the prepared compounds were measured, and all resonances were assigned from appropriate two-dimensional experiments.

These compounds rearrange in boiling acetic acid or concentrated hydrochloric acid to give novel 5-phenyl-2-thioxospiro[4H-imidazol-4,3′-[3H]indol]-2′(1′H,3H)-ones, 5-hydroxy-5-phenyl-2-thioxospiro[imidazolidine-4,3′-[3H]indol]-2′-ones and (2-methylaminophenyl)-5-phenyl-1H-imidazole-2(3H)-thiones. All compounds were characterized by their ¹H, ¹³C, IR and MS data, and in some cases also by ¹⁵N NMR data. The structures and compositions of four compounds were confirmed by single crystal X-ray diffraction.

The latter compounds react with aryl isocyanates to produce the corresponding pyrimidinylureas, which undergo cyclization to 3-aryl-5-methyl-7-trichloromethylpyrimido[4,5- d]pyrimidine-2,4(1H,3H)-diones under the action of MeONa in MeOH.     

Interaction of beta-lactam carbenes with aryl isonitriles: an unprecedented rearrangement of 2-azetidinonylidene indoles to delta-carbolinones

The reaction of beta-lactam carbenes with aryl isonitriles proceeded in a novel [2 + 2] fashion to give high yields of 2-azetidinonylidene indoles 4, which underwent an unprecedented rearrangement to furnish 4-arylimino-delta-carbolin-2-ones 5 in almost quantitative yields. Acid catalyzed rearrangement and the subsequent hydrolysis of 2-azetidinonylidene indoles 4 produced two types of delta-carbolin-2,4-diones 10 and 11, respectively, in good to excellent yields. The photophysical study showed that both delta-carbolin-2,4-diones 10 and 11 are highly fluorescent with the fluorescent quantum yields being up to 0.43.     

Synthesis of derivatives of 4-alkylthiouracil,cytosine, pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidine,and pyrimido[4,5-d]pyrimidine from the N,S- and N,N-acetals of diacetylketene and isocyanates

The action of alkyl and aryl isocyanates on the N,S-acetals of diacetylketene leads to the formation of 4-alkylthio-5-acetyl-1-alkyl(aryl)-6-methyl-1H-pyrimidin-2-ones (derivatives of 4-alkylthiouracils). The reaction of the synthesized thiouracils with amines or the reaction of the N,N-acetals of diacetylketene (N,N-ADK) with an equi-molar amount of aryl isocyanates leads to the formation of substituted 4-amino-5-acetyl-1H-pyrimidin-2-ones (derivatives of cytosine). From the latter and isocyanates or directly from N,N-ADK and an excess of the isocyanate, derivatives of 4-methylene-1H,3H, 4H-pyrimido[4,5-d]pyrimidine-2,7-dione were obtained. The exception was the condensation of 3-[N-(4,6-dimethyl-2-pyrimidinyl)diaminomethylene]pentane-2,4-dione with aryl isocyanates, which led to 3H,8H-pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidine-2,5-diones.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 11, pp. 2593–2599, November, 1991.

In this synthesis, 1,2,4-thiadiazolidine-3,5-diones ( 5 ) have been shown to arise as low-level by-products, and experiments were conducted to elucidate the mechanism of the side reaction. N,N′-Dimethyl-1,2,4-thiadiazolidine-3,5-dione ( 5a ) was prepared in one step from N,N′-dimethylurea plus 3 , or from 4a plus one equivalent of sulfuryl chloride. A general route to 5 involved reaction of equimolar amounts of isocyanates ( 6 ), isothiocyanates ( 7 ) and sulfuryl chloride followed by hydrolysis of intermediate 9 . Heterocycles reported have been characterized by nmr, ir, uv, ms, and hplc.

The stereoselective properties of modified thiourea organocatalysts were tested in the Friedel–Crafts alkylation of indole with 5-arylidene-2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxane-4,6-diones, which produces chiral 5-((1H-indol-3-yl)(aryl)methyl)-2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxane-4,6-diones.
