Solid solution of triptycenequinone and triptycenehydroquinone as a non-stoichiometric quinhydrone. Bathochromic changes in color caused by local intermolecular interaction between p-benzoquinone and hydroquinone moieties

Binary crystal formed by 9,10-dihydro-9,10-[o]benzenoanthracene-1,4-dione (triptycenequinone, TPQ, yellow) and 9,10-dihydro-9,10-[o]benzenoanthracene-1,4-diol (triptycenehydroquinone, TPHQ, colorless) was found to be a substitutional solid solution of TPQ doped by TPHQ with concentration of TPHQ<ca. 0.2. The characteristic color (brown) of the solid solution may be ascribed to local intermolecular CT interaction between the p-benzoquinone and hydroquinone moieties of TPQ and TPHQ, respectively, enabled by a disorder in the binary crystal. It seemed appropriate to regard the solid solution as non-stoichiometric quinhydrone. Crystal structure of pure TPHQ is also reported. A common molecular arrangement in the crystals of pure TPQ and pure TPHQ, as well as the resemblance in the molecular structure, seems to be favorable for the formation of the solid solution.     

Reaction of 1-Nitro-9,10-anthraquinone-2-carboxylic Acid with 2-Aminoethanol

1-Nitro-9,10-anthraquinone-2-carboxylic acid reacts with 2-aminoethanol to give 1-(2-hydroxy- ethylamino)-9,10-anthraquinone-2-carboxylic acid which undergoes intramolecular cyclization to 1,2,3,5,8,13- hexahydroanthra[1,2-e][1,4]oxazepine-5,8,13-trione on heating in acetic acid. Reactions of the cyclization product with amines result in cleavage of the seven-membered heteroring.     

Five-Membered 2,3-dioxoheterocycles: XCV. Recyclization of 4-benzoyl-5-phenylfuran-2,3-dione at the action of substituted 1,3,3-trimethyl-2-azaspiro[4.5]dec-1-enes. Crystal and molecular structure of substituted 5-(2-azaspiro[4.5]dec-1-ylidene)cyclopent-3-ene-1,2-dione

4-Benzoyl-5-phenylfuran-2,3-dione reacts with 2′,5′,5′-trimethyl-4′,5′-dihydro-4H-spiro[naphthalene-1,3′-pyrrol]-4-one and 8-(2-methoxy-5-methylphenyl)-1,3,3,9-tetramethyl-2-azaspiro[4.5]deca-1,7-dien-6-one with the formation of (Z)-3-benzoyl-5-(5′,5′-dimethyl-4-oxo-4H-spiro[naphthalene-1,3′-pyrrolidin]-2′-ylidene)-4-phenylcyclopent-3-ene-1,2-dione, whose structure was proved by XRD analysis, and of (Z)-3-benzoyl-5-{8-(2-methoxy-5-methylphenyl)-3,3,9-trimethyl-6-oxo-2-azaspiro[4.5]dec-7-en-1-ylidene}-4-phenylcyclopent-3-ene-1,2-dione.     

Synthesis and calculated properties of some 1,4-bis(amino)anthracene-9,10-diones

The synthesis of a number of 1,4-bis(amino)anthracene-9,10-diones containing chlorine or sulfur which are related to the anti-cancer drugs Ametantrone and Mitoxantrone are reported. 1,4-Dichloro-2,3-dihydro-5,8-dihydroxyanthracene-9,10-dione reacts readily with a series of alkylamines to yield the corresponding 1,4-bis(alkylamino)-5,8-dichloroanthracene-9,10-dione after oxidation. The subsequent reaction of the products with ethanethiol or thiophenol gives the corresponding 1,4-bis(alkylamino)-5,8-bis(sulfanyl)anthracene-9,10-dione in good yield. Theoretical calculations at the RHF 6-31G** level indicate that the introduction of either chlorine or the phenylsulfanyl group into the 5- and 8-positions of 1,4-bis(alkylamino)anthracene-9,10-diones results in a lowering of the LUMO energies suggesting that related functionalised derivatives might have lower cardiotoxicities than Mitoxantrone.     

Thermal and electron-impact transformations of cis-1,2-dibbnzoylalkenes

Several cis-1,2-dibenzoylalkene derivatives have been prepared in yields ranging between 60–80%, through the Diels-Alder addition of the appropriate dienes to dibenzoylacetylene. These include, 2,3-dibenzoyl-bicyclo [2.2.1]hepta-2,5-diene (10), 2,3-dibenzoylbicyclo[2.2.2]octa-2,5-diene (11), 7-oxa-2,3-dibenzoyl-bicyclo [2.2.1]hepta-2,5-diene (12), 1,4-diphenyl-2,3-dibenzoyl-1,4-epoxynaphthalene (13) and 9,10-dihydro-11,12-dibenzoy1-9, 10-ethenoanthracene (15), formed from cyclopentadiene, cyclohexa-1,3-diene, furan, 1,3-diphenylisobenzofuran and anthracene, respectively.

Thermolysis of 2,3-dibenzoylbicyclo[2.2.1]hepta-2,5-diene gave chiefly cyclopentadiene, arising through a retro-Diels-Alder mode of fragmentation. Similar retro-Diels-Alder fragmentations have been observed in the cases of 7-oxa-2,3-dibenzoylbicyclo[2.2.1]hepta-2,5-diene and 9,10-dihydro-11,12-dibenzoyl-9,10-ethenoanthracene. The thermoylsis of 1,4-diphenyl-2,3-dibenzoyl-1,4-epoxynaphthalene, however, gave a mixture of 1,3-diphenylisobenzofuran and 1,2-dibenzoylbenzene. The formation of 1,2-dibenzoylbenzene in this case has been shown to be through the air-oxidation of 1,3-diphenylisobenzofuran. Thermolysis of 2,3-dibenzoylbicyclo[2.2.2]octa-2,5-diene, on the other hand, gave a nearly quantitative yield of 1,2-dibenzoylbenzene, which did not undergo further transformation even on heating around 260° for several hours. In none of these cases, the expected pericyclic transformation, analogous to the conversion of cis-1,2-dibenzoylstilbene (6) to the isomeric 2,2,3,4-tetraphenylbut-3-enolide (9), has been observed under thermal conditions. Treatment of 9,10-dihydro-11,12-dibenzoyl-9,10-ethenoanthracene (15) with phosphorous pentasulphide resulted in the formation of a mixture of 12,14-diphenyl-9, 10(3', 4')furanoanthracene (28) and 12,14-diphenyl-9,10(3',4')thiophenoanthracene (31), arising through the postulated intermediates, 9,10-dihydro-11-benzoyl-12-thiobenzoyl-9,10-ethenoanthracene (26) and 9,10-dihydro-11,12-dithiobenzoyl-9, 10-ethenoanthracene (29), respectively.

The electron-impact induced transformations of the cis-1,2-dibenzoylalkenes, 6, 10, 11, 12, 13 and 15 on the other hand, can be rationalized in terms of both retro-Diels-Alder type fragmentations and pericyclic transformations of the dibenzoylalkene components.     

A study of the catalytic reductive products of 2,3-dihydro-6-methoxy-3-(6-nitroveratrylidene)-4H-benzopyran-4-one. Part II

Although the previously reported (1,2) chemical reduction of 2,3-dihydro-3-(6-nitroveratry-lidene)-4H-benzopyran-4-one with stannous chloride occurred with cyclization to the 6H-[1]-benzopyrano [4,3-b]quinoline ring system, the present study of the catalytic (palladium/carbon) reduction of 2,3-dihydro-6-methoxy-3-(6-nitroveratrylidene)-4H-benzopyran-4-one ( 1 ) (3) has indicated that other products in addition to the expected benzopyranoquinoline ( 3 ) may be isolated, depending upon the conditions of the reduction. The products of the reduction of 1 , isolated and structurally determined, include 2,9,10-trimethoxy-6H-[1]benzopyrano-[4,3-b]quinoline(3),2,9,10-trimethoxy-6a,7,12,12a-tetrahydro-6H-[1]benzopyrano[4,3-b]-quinoline (2), the N-oxide of 3 (6 ), and 6-hydroxy-2,9,10-trimethoxy-6H-[l]benzopyrano-[4,3-b Jquinoline ( 8 ).     

Mechanism of an unusual decarboxylative cyclization

The mechanism of an unusual decarboxylative cyclization from 5-methoxy-1-(2-carboxyphenyl)-1,4-dihydro-4-oxopyridine-2-carboxylic acid (diacid) to 3-methoxypyrido[1,2-a]indole-2,10-dione (ketone) has been investigated. ¹³C-labeling has demonstrated that the carbonyl carbon of the ketone arises exclusively from the anthranilic acid carboxyl of the diacid. A zwitterionic mechanism has been proposed.     

Preparation and biological properties of inclusion compounds of calix[4]arene and 1,4-benzodiazepinone derivatives

The possibility of enhancing the oral bioavailability of certain 1,4-benzodiazepinones by using them as complexes with a series of calix[4]arene derivatives was examined. All the inclusion compounds prepared exhibit anticonvulsant activity by antagonism with Corazol spasmodic agent. Complexes with 25,27-bis[(hydrazinocarbonyl)methoxy]-26,28-dihydroxy-p-tert-butylcalix[4]arene exhibit higher pharmacological activity compared to the starting 7-bromo-5-(o-chloro)phenyl-and 1-hydrazinocarbonylmethyl-7-bromo-5-phenyl-1,2-dihydro-3H-1,4-benzodiazepin-2-ones.     

2,3,5,8(1)-Tetrahydroimidazo[1,2-a]pyrimidine-2,5-dione derivatives

The corresponding ylidene, azomethine, and azo derivatives of 2,3,5,8(1)-tetrahydroimidazo [1,2-a]pyrimidine-2,5-dione were synthesized by reaction of 7-methyl-and 6-bromo-7-methyl-2,3,5,8(1)-tetrahydroimidazo[1,2-a]pyrimidine-2,5-diones with aldehydes, insatin, aromatic nitroso compounds, and arenediazonium salts. Ylidene derivatives of 7-methyl-2,3,5,8(1)-tetrahydroimidazo[1,2-a]pyrimidine-2,5-dione were also obtained by reaction of 2-amino-4-methyl-6-oxo-1,6-dihydro-1-pyrimidylacetic acid with carbonyl compounds.     

Derivatives of benzo[4,5]cyclohepta[1,2-b]thiophene. 4. Synthesis of 1-(9,10-dihydro-4H-benzo[4,5]cyclohepta[1,2-b]thiophen-4-yl)-3-alkylaminoazetidines

Thirteen 1-(9,10-dihydro-4H-benzo[4,5]cyclohepta[1,2-b]thiophen-4-yl)-3-alkylaminoazetidines 11 have been synthesized in three steps from 4-amino-9,10-dihydro-4H-benzo[4,5]cyclohepta[1,2-b]thiophene ( 6 ), which was obtained from the reduction of either 4-azido 4 or 4-hydroxyimino 5 derivatives. All the compounds have been evaluated as potential antidepressive agents.     

Microbiological synthesis of 7-bromo-5-(o-chlorophenyl)-3-hydroxy-1,2-dihydro-3H-1,4-benzodiazepin-2-one by immobilized actinomycetes

It has been shown that the highest yields (15%) of 7-bromo-5-(o-chlorophenyl)-3-hydroxy-1,2-dihydro-3H-1,4-benzodiazepin-2-one are obtained by the use of the cells of actinomycetes immobilized in poly(vinyl alcohol) in the presence of the cosubstrate 7-bromo-5-(o-chlorophenyl)-3-methyl-1,2-dihydro-3H-1,4-benzodiazepin-2-one.     

Synthesis and structure of 3-arylidene and 3-hetarylidene-1,2-dihydro-3H-1,4-benzodiazepin-2-ones and their affinity toward CNS benzodiazepine receptors

The condensation of 5-aryl-7-bromo-1,2-dihydro-3H-1,4-benzodiazepin-2-ones with aromatic aldehydes gives 5-aryl-3-arylidene-and 5-aryl-7-bromo-3-hetarylidene-1,2-dihydro-3H-1,4-benzodiazepin-2-ones. X-ray diffraction structural analysis yielded the molecular and crystal structures of 7-bromo-3-(4′-methoxybenzylidene)-5-phenyl-1,2-dihydro-3H-1,4-diazepin-2-one and showed that this compound has cis configuration. Radioligand analysis was used to study the affinity of these products toward central nervous system and peripheral benzodiazepine receptors. __________ Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 8, pp. 1213–1225, August, 2007.     

Synthesis and cytotoxic activity of acronycine analogues in the benzo[c]pyrano[3,2-h]acridin-7-one and naphtho[1,2-b][1,7] and [1,10]-phenanthrolin-7(14H)-one series

Condensation of 1-bromo-2-naphthalenecarboxylic acid (9) with 7-methoxy-2,2-dimethyl-2H-1-benzopyran-5-ylamine (13) followed by acid-mediated cyclization afforded 6-methoxy-3,3-dimethyl-3,14-dihydro-7H-benzo[c]pyrano[3,2-h]acridin-7-one (15), which was further methylated into 6-methoxy-3,3,14-trimethyl-3,14-dihydro-7H-benzo[c]pyrano[3,2-h]acridin-7-one (benzo[c]acronycine) (3) and 6,7-dimethoxy-3,3-dimethyl-3H-benzo[c]pyrano[3,2-h]acridine (4). Osmium tetroxide oxidation of 15 gave the (+/-)-cis-diol 16, which afforded the benzopyranoacridine and benzopyranoacridone esters 17-22 upon acylation. Condensation of 9 with suitable aminoquinolines 23-25 afforded the carboxylic naphthylquinolylamines 26-28. Cyclization gave the corresponding naphtho[1,2-b][1,10]-phenanthrolin-7(14H)-ones 29 and 30, and naphtho[1,2-b][1,7]-phenanthrolin-7(14H)-one 31, which were subsequently N-methylated to the desired 14-methylnaphtho[1,2-b][1,10] and [1,7]-phenanthrolinones 6, 7, and 8. Benzo[c]pyrano[3,2-h]acridin-7-one derivatives 3, 16, and 22 displayed cytotoxic activities within the same range of magnitude as acronycine itself, whereas 7-alkoxybenzo[c]pyrano[3,2-h]acridine and 7-acyloxybenzo[c]pyrano[3,2-h]acridine derivatives 4 and 17-21 were less active when tested against L1210 murine leukemia cells in vitro. Naphthophenanthrolinones 6-8 were devoid of significant antiproliferative activity, but compounds 29-31 bearing no substituent on the nitrogen atom at position 14 were more potent.     

Condensation of 1,2-dihydro-7-methoxy-4-vinylnaphthalene with 3,5-dimethyl-3-cyclopentene-1,2-dione

Summary Unlike 2-(3,4-dihydro-6-methoxy-1-naphthyl)ethenol acetate (I) [4-(2-acetoxyvinyl)-1,2-dihydro-7-methoxy-naphthalene], the diene of analogous structure -1,2-dihydro-7-methoxy-4-vinylnaphthalene (III)-in condensation with 3,5-dimethyl-3-cyclopentene-1,2-dione (II) forms an adduct (IV) which contains a 15- and not a 17-keto group. The orientation in the diene condensation is determined by the presence, or absence, of an electronegative substituent in the 1-position of the diene of type (III).Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 6, pp. 1058–1061, June, 1965     

Some novel heterocyclic systems derived from 7-amino-2,3-dihydro-8-nitro-1H-pyrrolo[1,2-α]benzimidazole and the corresponding diamine

The preparation of 7-amino-2,3-dihydro-8-nitro-1H-pyrrolo[1,2-a]benzimidazole from 1,4-diacetamido-2,3-dinitrobenzene is described. Reaction of this compound with 2,5-dimethoxytetrahydrofuran produces 2,3-dihydro-8-nitro-7-N-pyrrolo-1H-pyrrolo[1,2-a]benzimidazole, which can be cyclised to produce two new heterocyclic ring systems, 9,10-dihydro-8H-pyrrolo[1,2-a]pyrrolo(1′,2′:1,2]imidazo[5,4-f]quinoxaline and 9,10-dihydro-8H-pyrrolo[2,1-c]pyrrolo[1′,2′:1,2]imidazo[4,5-h][1,2,4]benzotriazine. The corresponding diamine, 7,8-diamino-2,3-dihydro-1H-pyrrolo[1,2-a]benzimidazole undergoes a variety of condensation reactions to produce several new heterocyclic systems, for example, with formic acid, 1,7,8,9-tetrahydroimidazo-[4,5-e]pyrrolo[2,1-6]benzimidazole is formed and with diacetyl, 9,10-dihydro-2,3-dimethyl-8H-pyrrolo-[1′,2′:1,2]imidazo[5,4-y]quinoxaline is obtained.     

Reactions of some pyranylidene esters with amines

The reactions of 4-(2,2-dimethyl-4,6-dioxo-1,3-dioxan-5-ylidene)-2,6-diphenyl-4H-pyran ( 1 ) with primary amines gave the corresponding 1-substituted 1,4-dihydropyridine derivatives. The related benzo derivative of 1 (12) and primary amines gave 3-substituted 3,4-dihydro-2-phenyl-5H-[1]benzopyrano[3,4-c] pyridine-4,5-dione derivatives. With secondary amines, 12 gave 2-phenyl-4H,5H-pyrano[3,4-c] [1]benzopyrane-4,5-dione, and with isopropylamine, N,N-dimethylhydra-zine, and methanolic potassium hydroxide, 12 gave 4-phenacylcoumarin. Some reaction intermediates were isolated which indicate probable reaction paths. The reactions with amines were extended to a naphtho derivative of 1 (19) and to a thia homolog of 12 (24).     

Synthesis of Novel Dispiro 1,4-Benzothiazine Hybrid Heterocycles Through 1,3-Dipolar Cycloaddition

The 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of azomethine ylides generated in situ from the reaction of acenaphthylene-1,2-dione or isatins and α-amino acids to (E)-methyl/ethyl 2-(3-oxo-3,4-dihydro-2H-benzo[b][1,4]thiazin-2-ylidene)acetate led to the stereoselective formation of novel dispiro 1,4-benzothiazine hybrid heterocycles in good yields.     

Synthesis and structural assignment of 5,6-dihydro-8-hydroxy-9-methoxy-1H,7H-benzo[ij] quinolizine-1,7-dione

The compound 5,6-dihydro-8-hydroxy-9-methoxy-1H,7H-benzo[ij]quinolizine-1,7-dione ( 4a ) was synthesized from 3-(1,4-dihydro-6,7-dimethoxy-4-oxo-1-quinolyl)propionic acid ( 3a , free base), involving spontaneous demethylation with ring closure. The structural assignment of 4a was based on an analogous, unequivocal synthesis of 5,6-dihydro-9-ethoxy-8-hydroxy-1H,7H-benzo[ij]quinolizine-1,7-dione hydrochloride ( 4b ).     

Special features of the alkylation of 7-bromo-5-(2-chlorophenyl)- 3-hydroxy-1,2-dihydro-3h-1,4-benzo- diazepin-2-one with alkyl tosylates

On interacting 7-bromo-5-(2-chlorophenyl)-3-hydroxy-1,2-dihydro-3H-1,4-benzodiazepin-2-one with methyl, hexyl, dodecyl, and cetyl tosylates, 1-alkyl-7-bromo-5-(2-chlorophenyl)-1,2,4,5-tetrahydro-3H-1,4-benzodiazepin-2,3-diones, and 1-alkyl-7-bromo-5-(2-chlorophenyl)-3-hydroxy-1,2-dihydro-3H-1,4-benzodiazepin- 2-ones were obtained. Only the dione was formed in the case of hexyl tosylate. On alkylating with methyl tosylate only the 3-hydroxy derivative was formed. It was shown that at pH 14 the 1-cetyl and 1-dodecyl-3-hydroxy derivatives were completely converted into the corresponding diones. The molecular and crystal structures of the compounds were established by X-ray structural analysis.     

New NH-substituted 1,4-naphtho- and 1,4-benzo- quinones: Synthesis,characterization and potential antiproliferative effect against MDA-MB-231 cells

Abstract

Eleven new alkyl and aryl amino quinones were synthesized from quinones (2,3-dibromo-1,4-naphthoquinone 1, 2-bromo-1,4-naphthoquinone 2, p-benzoquinone 3 or 2,6-dichloro-1,4-benzoquinone 8) with primary amines. The structures of all compounds were characterized by spectroscopic technics and elemental analysis. The structure of 2-((6,6-Dimethylbicyclo[3.1.1]heptan-2-yl)methylamino)-3-bromonaphthalene-1,4-dione (5a) was established by single crystal diffraction. 2-(2-(Ethylthio)ethylamino)naphthalene-1,4-dione (6b) was found to have noteworthy antiproliferative effect against MDA-MB-231 cells.
