Synthesis of Sulfur Heterocycles by Thio- Claisen Rearrangement

7-Chloro-4-hydroxydithiocoumarin was alkylated with allylic halides under phase transfer catalysis condition in the presence of TBAB or BTEAC in chloroform-aqueous NaOH (1%) at room temperature. 2,3-Dichloroprop-2-ene on similar treatment with 7-chloro-4-hydroxydithiocoumarin afforded 2-methylthieno[2,3-b]thiochromen-4-one in 65% yield. The S-alkylated thiochromen-4-ones were then refluxed in quinoline to give 7-chloro-2,3-dihydrothieno[2,3-b]thiochromen-4-ones or 7-chloro-2,3,4-trihydrothiopyrano[2,3-b]thiochromen-5-ones or 7-chloro-2,3-dihydro-3-vinylthieno[2,3-b]thiochromen-4-one.     

Halogenation of Imidazo[4,5-<Emphasis Type="Italic">b</Emphasis>]pyridin-2-one Derivatives

Chlorination and bromination of 2,3-dihydro-1H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-2-one and its N-methyl-substituted derivatives in acetic acid at 90–95°C leads to formation of the corresponding 5,6-dichloro(dibromo)-2,3-dihydro-1H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-2-ones. Iodination of the same substrates with ICl under analogous conditions yields 6-iodo derivatives. Chlorination of 6-iodo-1,3-dimethyl-2,3-dihydro-1H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-2-one is accompanied by replacement of the iodine atom by chlorine with formation of 5,6-dichloro-1,3-dimethyl-2,3-dihydro-1H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-2-one. Bromination of 6-bromo- and 6-chloro-2,3-dihydro-1H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-2-ones gives 5,6-dibromo- and 5-bromo-6-chloro-2,3-dihydro-1H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-2-ones, respectively.__________Translated from Zhurnal Organicheskoi Khimii, Vol. 41, No. 4, 2005, pp. 586–589.Original Russian Text Copyright © 2005 by Yutilov, Lopatinskaya, Smolyar, Gres’ko.     

Regioselective synthesis of pentacyclic heterocycles by sequential [3,3] sigmatropic rearrangement of 2-(4′-aryloxybut-2′-ynyl-mercapto)thiochromen-4-ones

A number of 4-aryloxymethyl-7-chlorothiopyrano[2,3-b]thiochromen-5(2H)-ones are regioselectively synthesized in 80-85% yield by the Claisen rearrangement of 2-(4′-aryloxybut-2′-ynylmercapto)thiochromen-4-ones in refluxing chlorobenzene for 3 h. These products are then subjected to a second Claisen rearrangement in refluxing N,N-diethylaniline for 6 h to give hitherto unreported pentacyclic heterocycles in 50-55% yield.

The dipolar 1,4-cycloaddition of dichloroketerie to N,N-disubslituled 3-aminomethylene-2,3-dihydro-4-thiochromanones and 3-aminomethylenetelrahydro-4-thiopyranones gave N,N-disubstituted 4-amino-3,3-diehloro-3,4-dihydro-2H,5H-[1]benzolhiopyrano[4,3-b]pyran-2-ones and 4-amino-3,3-dichloro-3,4,7,8-tetrahydro-2H,5H-thiopyrano[4,3-b]pyran-2-ones, respectively, only in the ease of aromatic or strong hindering aliphatic N-substitution. The adducts gave N,N′-disubstituted 4-amino-3-chloro-2H,5H-[1]benzothiopyrano[4,3-b]pyran-2-ones and 4-amino-3-chloro-7,8-dihydro-2H,5H-thiopyrano[4,3-b]pyran-2-ones, respectively, by dehydro-chlorination with DBN. By chromatography on neutral alumina, 3-(2,2-dichloroethylidene)-2,3-dihydro-4-thiochromanone was isolated as an unstable liquid from the reaction between dichloroketerie and 3-diethylaminornethylene-2,3-dihydro-4-thiochromanone.

The featured step in this synthetic sequence was an intramolecular Diels-Alder reaction of the in situ generated 3-(3-butynylthio)-6-carboethoxy-5-chloro-1,2,4-triazine ( 9 ) to provide the key intermediate 5-carboethoxy-6-chloro-2,3-dihydrothieno-[2,3-b]pyridine ( 6 ). In the course of studies directed toward the preparation of 1 , thermolysis of 3-(3-butynyl-thio)-6-carboethoxy-1,2,4-triazin-5(2H)-one ( 2 ) was found to involve competitive intramolecular Diels-Alder and intramolecular coplanar cycloamination processes, providing the 2,3-dihydrothieno[2,3-b]pyridin-6(7H)-one ( 4 ) and the 1,3-thiazino[3,2-b]-1,2,4-triazin-3-one (5) derivatives, respectively.

Similarly, the metiodide salt of the iso-gramine analog, 2-amino-6-dimethylaminomethylpyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4-one afforded 5′-deoxy-5′-[6-(2-aminopyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4-one)methylthio]adenosine.     

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.

Treatment of 3a and 3b with carbon disulfide gave, respectively, 2,3-dihydro-3-[(2-hydroxyethyl)methylamino]-2-thioxo-4-(1H)quinazolinone ( 4a ) and its 6-chloro analog 4b . Compounds 4a and 4b afforded 5,6-dihydro-5-methyl-2-thioxo-4H,8H-[1,3,5,6]oxathiadiazocino[4,5-b]quinazolin-8-one ( 5a ) and its 10-chloro analog 5b , respectively, upon treatment with thiophosgene. Compound 5a could be produced directly from 3a and thiophosgene. Treatment of 4a and 4b with trifluoroacetic anhydride followed by potassium carbonate gave 3,4-dihydro-4-methyl-2H,6H-[1,3,4]thiadiazino[2,3-b]quinazolin-6-one ( 7a ) and its 8-chloro analog 7b , respectively. Treatment of 4a with thionyl chloride also gave 7a , but 4b and thionyl chloride afforded a mixture of 7b and 8-chloro-3,4-dihydro-4-methyl-2H,6H-[1,3,4]oxadiazino[2,3-b]quinazolin-6-one ( 10 ).

Abstract  The reaction of 2-mercapto-6,7,8,9-tetrahydro-3H-benzo[4,5]thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4-one or its 2-methylthio derivative with hydrazonoyl halides, in the presence of triethylamine, yielded 6,7,8,9-tetrahydrobenzo[4,5]thieno[2,3-d]-1,2,4-triazolo[4,5-a]pyrimidin-5-ones. The structure of the latter compounds was further confirmed by reaction of 2-mercapto-6,7,8,9-tetrahydro-3H-benzo[4,5]thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4-one with the appropriate active chloromethylenes followed by coupling of the products with benzenediazonium chloride to afford the non-isolable azo-coupling products which converted, in situ, to 6,7,8,9-tetrahydrobenzo[4,5]thieno[2,3-d]-1,2,4-triazolo[4,5-a]pyrimidin-5-ones. The reaction mechanism was proposed and the products were screened for their biological activity. Some of the newly synthesized compounds had a moderate effect against some bacterial and fungal species. Graphical abstract

Nitration of 2,3-dihydro-1H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-2-one gave its 5-nitro derivative which was subjected to alkylation with dimethyl sulfate, diethyl sulfate, and benzyl(dimethyl)phenylammonium chloride. The resulting 1,3-dimethyl-, 1,3-diethyl-, and 1,3-dibenzyl-5-nitro-2,3-dihydro-1H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-2-ones were reduced to the corresponding 1,3-dialkyl-5-amino-2,3-dihydro-1H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-2-ones, and the latter reacted with itaconic acid to produce 1-(1,3-dialkyl-2-oxo-2,3-dihydro-1H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-5-yl)-5-oxopyrrolidine-3-carboxylic acids. 1-(2-Oxo-2,3-dihydro-1H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-5-yl)-5-oxopyrrolidine-3-carboxylic acid was obtained by analogous reaction with 5-amino-2,3-dihydro-1H-imidazo[4,5-b]-pyridin-2-one.

Dehydrochlorination of VI with DBN afforded N,N-disubstituted 4-amino-3-chloro-6,7-dihydro(7-methyl)(7-phenyl)pyrano[2,3-e]indazol-2(5H]-ones VII generally in satisfactory yield. Full aromatization with DDQ of VII was tried only in the case of dimethylamino derivatives, giving a moderate yield of 3-chloro-4-dimethylamino(7-methyl)(7-phenyl)pyrano[2,3-e]indazol-2(7H)-ones. Cycloaddition of sulfene to V occurred only in the case of aliphatic N-substitution to give in moderate yield 4-dialkylamino-4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-(7-methyl)(7-phenyl)-3H-1,2-oxathiino[6,5-e]indazole 2,2-dioxides, which are derivatives of the new heterocyclic system 1,2-oxathiino[6,5-e]indazole.     

Novel fluoro-substituted benzo- and benzothieno fused pyrano[2,3-c]pyrazol-4(1H)-ones

Treatment of 5-fluorochromeno[2,3-c]pyrazol-4(1H)-ones with methylhydrazine afforded novel tetracyclic ring systems such as 2-methyl-7-phenyl-2,7-dihydropyrazolo[4′,3′:5,6]pyrano[4,3,2-cd]indazole. Detailed NMR spectroscopic investigations (¹H, ¹³C, ¹⁵N, ¹⁹F) with the obtained compounds were undertaken.
