Synthesis of 3-[4-(1-Benzofuran-2-yl)-1,3-thiazol-2-yl]-2-(4-aryl)-1,3-thiazolidin-4-one Derivatives as Biological Agents

A protocol for the synthesis of 3-[4-(1-benzofuran-2-yl)-1,3-thiazol-2-yl]-2-(4-aryl)-1,3-thiazolidin-4-one derivatives (5a–e) has been developed from 1-(1-benzofuran-2-yl)-2-bromoethanone (2),which served as a key intermediate for the synthesis of the title compounds. The reaction of compound 2 with thiourea furnished 4-(1-benzofuran-2-yl)-1,3-thiazol-2-amine 3, which upon further reaction with various aromatic aldehydes, gave Schiff bases 4a–e. These Schiff bases, when treated with thioacetic acid in the presence of catalytic amount of anhydrous ZnCl₂, yielded thiazolidinone derivatives 5a–e. All the newly synthesized compounds have been characterized by analytical and spectral data and screened for their antimicrobial and analgesic activity.

Transformations of (1E,3E)-1-(benzoylamino)-4-(dimethylamino)buta-1,3-diene-1,2,3-tricarboxylates into pyridine and pyrrole derivatives

New, highly functionalised (1E,3E)-1-(benzoylamino)-4-(dimethylamino)buta-1,3-diene-1,2,3-tricarboxylates proved to be useful and versatile reagents in the formation of highly substituted pyridine, N-aminopyridine, pyrrole and pyrido[3,4-c]pyridazine derivatives. The formation of the particular type heterocyclic system is dependent on the starting (1E,3E)-1-(benzoylamino)-4-(dimethylamino)buta-1,3-diene-1,2,3-tricarboxylate. By an appropriate choice of different ester groups it is possible to drive the reactions towards the formation of either pyridine or pyrrole derivatives.     

Acetals and ethers,XVII. One- or two-step syntheses of 2-(2-alkoxyethyl)-1,3-dioxacyclanes

2-(2-Alkoxyethyl)-1,3-dioxanes (1) were prepared by ap-toluenesulfonic acid-catalyzed, one-step reaction of propenal with a mixture of aliphatic alcohol and trimethylene glycol in good yields. The transacetalization reaction of 1,1,3-trialkoxypropanes (3) with ethylene glycol or propylene-(1,2)glycol afforded good yields of pure 2-(2-alkoxyethyl)-1,3-dioxolanes (5 or6), respectively.

An efficient synthesis of 1,3-bis(1,4,7-triazacyclonon-1-yl)-2-hydroxypropane, [1,3-bis(TACN)-2-propanol]

Abstract

An efficient synthesis of 1,3-bis(1,4,7-triazacyclonon-1-yl)-2-hydroxypropane is described. In contrast to earlier procedures, an improved synthetic strategy led to the selection of suitable reagents and conditions that afforded the title compound in excellent overall yield with improved process efficiency and scalability. Moreover, the mildness and synthetic efficiency of the chosen conditions were particularly well-suited for the large-scale synthesis of the title compound, which is in increasing demand for a variety of applications, including the preparation of stationary phases for immobilized metal-ion affinity chromatography of recombinant proteins.

A Six-Coordinate Picrate Nickel(II) Complex Based on the V-Shaped Ligand 1,3-Bis (1-Benzylbenzimidazol-2-yl)-2-Thiapropane: Synthesis,Crystal Structure,Biological Activities

Abstract

A six-coordinate picrate nickel(II) complex based on the V-shaped ligand 1,3-bis(1-benzylbenzimidazol-2-yl)-2-thiapropane (L), with the composition [Ni(L)₂](pic)₂, has been synthesized and characterized systematically. The crystal structure of the Ni(II) complex is a six-coordinated octahedron, which is considerably close to ideal octahedral geometry with N₄S₂ donors of the two ligands. Biological activities of compounds were investigated using electronic absorption spectroscopy, fluorescence spectroscopy, and viscosity measurements. The results suggested that both ligand L and Ni(II) complex bind to DNA in an intercalative binding mode, and DNA-binding affinity of the Ni(II) complex is stronger than that of ligand L.

One-Pot Synthesis and Methylation of 3-[2-(1H-Benzimidazol-2-yl-Sulfanyl)-Acetyl]-Chromen-2-Ones

Abstract

3-(2-Bromoacetyl)coumarins (I), when treated with 2-mercatobenzimidazole (II) in acetone containing K₂CO₃ (mild base) and tetrabutylammonium bromide (TBAB) as a phase transfer catalyst, at room temperature yielded the title compound 3-[2-(1H-benzimidazole-2-yl-sufanyl)-acetyl]-chromen-2-one (III) in a one-pot synthesis. Alternatively, III could also be prepared by treating dithiocarbonic acid O-ethyl ester, S-[2-oxo-2-(2-oxo-2H-chromen3-yl)-ethyl] ester (V), with o-phenylenediamine (VI). The methylation of the title compound III was performed with dimethyl sulfate (DMS), in acetonitrile containing TBAB and K₂CO₃ at room temperature, resulting in 3-[2-(N-methyl-benzimidazol-2-yl-sulfanyl)]-acetyl-chromen-2-ones (VII). Alternatively, methylation of III could also be performed with DMS in acetonitrile containing K₂CO₃ as base and clay as surface catalyst. All the compounds were synthesized in good yields and their structures were confirmed by spectral and analytical data.

1-(2-Quinoxalyl)-, 1-[3,5-Di(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-, 1-(2-Carboxyphenyl)-, and 1-Ethoxycarbonyl-4-oxo-4,5,6,7-tetrahydroindazoles

The corresponding 1-(2-quinoxalyl)-, 1-[3,5-di(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-, and 1-ethoxycarbonyl-3-methyl-4-oxo-4,5,6,7-tetrahydroindazoles have been obtained from reactions of 2-acetyl-1,3-cyclohexanedione, its 5,5-dimethyl and 5-(2-furyl) derivatives, with 2-hydrazinoquinoxaline, 3,5-di(trifluoromethyl)phenylhydrazine, and ethoxycarbonylhydrazine. On interaction with ethoxycarbonylhydrazine the intermediate 2-[1-(-ethoxycarbonyl)hydrazino]ethylidene-1,3-cyclohexanediones were also isolated. From the potassium salt of 2-formyldimedone and 2-carboxyphenylhydrazine hydrochloride, 2-(2-carboxyphenyl)hydrazinomethylene-5,5-dimethyl-1,3-cyclohexanedione was obtained, the cyclization of which in ethanol in the presence of HCl led to 1-(2-carboxyphenyl)- and 1-(2-ethoxycarbonylphenyl)-6,6-dimethyl-4-oxo-4,5,6,7-tetrahydroindazole.     

Structure elucidation of acetylation products of 2-acyl-1,3-indanediones by correlation of infrared spectral data

Summary 2-(1-Acetoxyalkylidene)- and 2-(1-acetoxybenzylidene)-1,3-indanediones (1a–1e) were proven to be the products of acetylation of 2-acyl-1,3-indanediones (2a–2e) by ketene using a detailed investigation and correlation analysis of infrared spectral data as well as¹H-NMR and¹³C-NMR spectra. Study by means of CNDO/2 and MMPI methods also demonstrates that the structure1 is more stable as the alternative one of 2-acyl-3-acetoxy-2-indene-1-ones (5). It was shown that the recently proposed general correlations v(C=O)_s vs. v(C=O)_as and v(C=O) vs. X⁺(R) as well as the mechanical anharmonicities of asymmetric C=O stretching vibration can be successfully used as a tool of structural diagnostics of cyclic 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds.

Zusammenfassung 2-(1-Acetoxyalkyliden)- und 2-(1-Acetoxybenzyliden)-1,3-indandione (1a–1e) wurden mittels einer detaillierten infrarot-spektroskopischen Untersuchung (IR-Korrelation) und¹H-NMR und¹³C-NMR Spektroskopie als Acetylierungsprodukte von 2-Acyl-1,3-indandionen (2a–2e) mit Keten nachgewiesen. CNDO/2- und MMPI-Rechnungen zeigten auch, daß Struktur1 stabiler ist, als die der alternativen 2-Acyl-3-acetoxy-2-inden-1-one5. Es wird gezeigt, daß die kürzlich vorgeschlagenen allgemeinen Korrelationen v(C=O)_s gengen v(C=O)_as und v(C=O) gegen X ⁺(R) und auch die mechanischen Anharmonizitäten der asymmetrischen C=O Streckschwingung erfolgreich als Werkzeug zur Strukturaufklärung cyclischer 1,3-Dicarbonyl-Verbindungen eingesetzt werden können.

Syntheses,crystal structures,and DNA-binding properties of two nickel(II) complexes with 1,3-bis(benzimidazol-2-yl)-2-oxapropane derivatives

[Ni(obb)(DMF)₂(H₂O)]·(Pic)₂·0.5DMF (1) and [Ni(Etobb)₂]·(Pic)₂·2DMF (2) (obb = 1,3-bis(benzimidazol-2-yl)-2-oxapropane, Etobb = 1,3-bis(1-ethylbenzimidazol-2-yl)-2-oxapropane, Pic = picrate) have been synthesized and characterized by physicochemical and spectroscopic methods. The structures of both complexes have been determined by X-ray single-crystal diffraction. The coordination geometries of 1 and 2 can be described as distorted octahedra. The interaction of the nickel(II) complexes with calf thymus DNA was investigated by electronic absorption, fluorescence spectroscopy, and viscosity measurements. The experimental results suggest that 1 and 2 bind to DNA in an intercalation mode, and their binding affinity for DNA follows the order 1 > 2. DNA-binding behaviors can be attributed to the large coplanar aromatic rings in the V-shaped ligand and steric hindrance.

Efficient Synthesis of Novel 3-[5-(1H-Benzimidazol-2-Ylmethanesulfonyl)-4-Phenyl-4H-(1,2,4)Triazol-3-Yl]-1H-(1,8)Naphthyridin-4-One Derivatives

Abstract

of 1,4-dihydro-4-oxo-1,8-naphthyridine-3-carbohydrazide (4) with substituted phenyl isothiocyanates (5) in ethanol under reflux for 30 min gave thiosemicarbazide derivatives 6, which on cyclization in 2N NaOH under refluxing conditions for 1 h resulted in 3-(5-mercapto- 4-phenyl-4H-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)-1,8-naphthyridin-4(1H)-one (7). Alternatively, 7 could also be prepared from following sequence of reactions, i.e., 4 → 8 → 7. In another sequence of reactions, condensation of 7 with chloroacetic acid in dimethylformamide (DMF) and K₂CO₃ as a mild base at 120 °C for 2 h resulted in 2-((5-(1,4-dihydro-4-oxo-1,8-naphthyridin-3-yl)-4-phenyl-4H-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)sulfanyl)acetic acid (10). The latter, on reaction with substituted o-phenylenediamine (11) in 6N HCl for 4 h yielded 3-(5-((1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2-yl)methylthio)-4-phenyl-4H-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)-1,8-naphthyridin-4(1H)-one (12). Alternatively, 12 could also be prepared by reacting 7 with 13 in DMF and K₂CO₃ as a mild base at 120 °C for 2 h, followed by oxidation with H₂O₂ resulting in the corresponding sulfonyl derivatives 14.
