Intramolecular Ullmann-type C−N coupling for the synthesis of substituted benzo[4,5]imidazo[1,2-a]pyrrolo[3,4-c]pyridines

An efficient CuI catalyzed intramolecular Ullmann-type C−N coupling reaction is described here. Newly substituted 1H-benzo[4,5]imidazo[1,2-a]pyrrolo[3,4-c]pyridine-1,3,5(2H, 11H)-trione has been easily synthesized from ortho halogenated N-substituted pyrrolo[3,4-c]pyridine-1,3,6(5H)-triones in presence of CuI catalyst and K₂CO₃ base without any ligand. This procedure is based on intramolecular Ullmann-type reaction and provides a proficient method of making fused tetracyclic heterocycles.     

New Synthetic Method of Azuleno[1,2-c]thiophenes

On the viewpoints of physical and chemical properties and biological activities, syntheses of a variety of heterocycle-fused azulenes have been repoted.[1] Of them, thiophene-fused azulenes were prepared by using different types of stating materials as follows. Azuleno[2,1-b] thiophenes are readily obtained from the reactions of 2-chloroazulene derivatives with ethyl mercaptoacetate in a few steps in good yield by Matsui[2] and Yamane.[3] On the other hand, the first synthesis of azuleno[1,2-c]thiophenes was accomplished by the reaction of 3-methoxycarbonyl-2H-cyclohepta[b]furan2-one with morpholino enamine of 3-oxotetrahydro-thiophene followed by dehydrogenation in poor yield by Fujimori.     

Synthesis of N-substituted imidazo[4,5-e]benzo[1,2-c;3,4-c’]difuroxans

N-Substituted imidazo[4,5-e]benzo[1,2-c;3,4-c’]difuroxans were synthesized by phase-transfer catalyzed alkylation of imidazo[4,5-e]benzo[1,2-c;3,4-c’]difuroxan salts with various alkylating agents. Acid hydrolysis of N-(ethoxycarbonylmethyl)imidazo[4,5-e]benzo-[1,2-c;3,4-c’]difuroxans gives the corresponding carboxylic acids. Structures of the synthesized compounds were confirmed by NMR spectroscopy, high resolution mass spectrometry, IR spectroscopy, and elemental anslysis.

Dipyrrolo[1,2-a; 2′,1′-c]pyrazines. 4. Aminomethylation of alkyl substituted dipyrrolo[1,2-a; 2′,1′-c]pyrazines and 5,6-dihydrodipyrrolo[1,2-a; 2′,1′-c]pyrazines

We have studied the aminomethylation reaction of alkyl substituted dipyrrolo[1,2-a; 2,1-c]pyrazines and their 5,6-dihydro analogs using different aminomethylating agents. Use of alkoxydialkylaminomethanes (aminoacetals) as Mannich reagents leads to the highest yields of the aminomethylated dipyrrolopyrazines. The compounds prepared have been studied by mass spectrometry.For Communication 3, see [1].M. V. Lomonosov State University, Moscow 119899.

Lewis acid–catalyzed green synthesis and biological studies of pyrrolo[3,4-c]pyrazoles in aqueous medium

An environmentally benign approach in aqueous medium by means of Lewis acid catalyst affords a wide spectrum of pyrazoline derivatives in satisfactory yields. [3+2] cycloaddition reactions of substituted azomethine-N-imines to maleimide in aqueous medium at relatively high concentrations of Lewis acid catalyst have emerged as an environment friendly alternative to conventional solvents. Promising catalytic activity has been revealed by Lewis acid like Cu (NO₃)₂ in aqueous medium. The obvious features of this synthetic protocol were short reaction time, high efficiency, less hazardous synthesis by benign solvent, catalysis, modest workup, and a clean reaction methodology.     

Synthesis of novel [1,2,3]triazolo[4′,5′:3,4]pyrrolo[1,2-a]thieno[2,3-d] pyrimidines: Potent EGFR targeting anti-breast cancer agents

In this study, we designed and synthesized several novel fused [1,2,3]triazolo [4′,5′:3,4]pyrrolo[1,2-a]thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidine derivatives using in a single [3 + 2] reaction cycloaddition reaction of 3-(3-iodoprop-2-yn-1-yl)thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4(3H)-one ( 4 ) followed by C-C bond coupling with various aryl azides in a PEG-400 medium. All of the newly synthesized compounds were evaluated in vitro for EGFR kinase inhibitory action as well as anti-breast cancer activity against MDA-MB-231 and MCF-7 breast cancer cell lines. When compared to the reference molecule, erlotinib, the majority of the compounds demonstrated adequate efficacy. The most promising compounds, 5g and 5i , demonstrated excellent anticancer activity against both cancer cell lines, with IC₅₀ values ranging from 04.17 ± 0.55 to 8.65 ± 0.89 μM, respectively, as well as excellent kinase inhibitory activities (EGFR: IC₅₀ = 0.467 ± 0.063 and 0.412 ± 0.081 μM). The in silico studies of five potent compounds 5f , 5g , 5h , 5i , and 5k were also carried out to identify the interactions against the EGFR receptor and found that the energy calculations were covenant with the obtained IC₅₀ values.

Synthesis of two-dimensional π-conjugated polymers pendent with benzothiadiazole and naphtho[1,2-c:5,6-c]bis[1,2,5]thiadiazole moieties for polymer solar cells

Four new 2D donor–acceptor conjugated polymers were designed and synthesized.These new polymers comprised fluorenealt-triphenylamine or carbazole-alt-triphenylamine as the backbones,and pendants with 2,1,3-benzothiadiazole(BT)or naphtho[1,2-c:5,6-c]bis[1,2,5]thiadiazole(NT)in a triphenylamine unit as the side groups.By changing the acceptor BT for a stronger electron-withdrawing unit of NT moiety in the side chain,the energy levels,absorption spectra,band gaps,and charge-transport abilities of the resultant polymers could be effectively tuned.Bulk heterojunction solar cells with these polymers as the electron donors and(6,6)-phenyl-C71-butyric acid methyl ester as the electron acceptor exhibited high open-circuit voltage(more than 0.8 e V).The power conversion efficiency can be improved from 1.37%to 3.52%by replacing the BT with an NT moiety,which indicates that introducing NT as the side-chain building block can be an effective strategy to construct efficient 2D conjugated polymers for PSCs.

Catalytic asymmetric dipolar cycloadditions of indolyl delocalized metal-allyl species for the enantioselective synthesis of cyclopenta[b]indoles and pyrrolo[1,2-α]indoles

The development of novel synthons and efficient methods to synthesize chiral polycyclic indoles has been a hot topic in organic synthesis and medicinal chemistry owing to their broad applications in medicines,pesticides,and other functional molecules.Here,we disclosed novel indolyl substituted metal-allyl zwitterionic intermediates through the decarboxylation of conveniently available vinyl indoloxazolidones,which could be regarded as two types of dipolar species through the anionic delocalization.The palladium-π-allyl species tended to serve as an all-carbon 1,3-dipole in the asymmetric[3+2]cycloaddition with electrondeficient alkenes,which furnished polysubstituted cyclopenta[b]indoles with high regio-and stereoselectivities.Meanwhile,the iridium-π-allyl species was recognized as an aza-1,3-dipole in asymmetric[3+2]cycloaddition with in situ generated C1 ammonium enolates,affording pyrrolo[1,2-α]indoles with high diastereo-and enantioselectivities.In addition,the dipolar cycloadditions could be easily scaled-up and several synthetic transformations of the cycloadducts were demonstrated for the rapid synthesis of diverse chiral polycyclic indoles.

Selective synthesis and optical properties of diimidazo[1,2-a:5′,1′-c]quinoxaline derivatives

Novel diimidazo[1,2-a:5′,1′-c]quinoxaline derivatives were synthesized by a Pd-catalyzed intramolecular coupling reaction of 1,2-bis(2-iodo-1H-imidazol-1-yl)benzene. This method was applied to the selective introduction of an aryl substituent at the 10 position by the addition of a boronic ester. Moreover, a stepwise introduction of the aryl substituent could be achieved by the further coupling reaction at the 3 position. Focused on the optical properties, a more efficient substituent effect at the 10 position was obtained compared with the analogous structure, diimidazo[1,2-a:2′,1′-c]quinoxaline derivatives. In addition, we revealed that the diimidazo[1,2-a:5′,1′-c]quinoxaline skeleton potentially has an electron-donating character on the optical properties by introducing an electron-withdrawing substituent.
