Carbazoledioxazines having long alkyl groups. 2. Synthesis of carbazoledioxazines with angular type structure

Carbazoledioxazines with an angular type structure (5,15-dialkyl-7,17-dialkyloxy-9,19-dichloro-5,15-dihydrodiindolo[2,3-c:2′,3′-n]triphenodioxazines) were selectively synthesized by electrochemical oxidative ring closure of precursors (2,5-bis(9-alkyl-2-alkyloxy-3-carbazolylamino)-3,6-dichloro-1,4-benzoquinones). The structure was confirmed by ¹H-nmr and other instrumental analyses. Their thermal properties and solubilities were investigated and were compared with those of carbazoledioxazines with a linear type structure.     

Carbazoledioxazines having long alkyl groups. 3. Syntheses and properties of halogen free carbazoledioxazines

Long chain derivatives of halogen free carbazoledioxazine which is a typical organic pigment with a linear type structure (5,15-dialkyl-5,15-dihydrodiindolo[3,2-b:3′,2′-m]triphenodioxazines) and an angular type structure (5,15-dialkyl-7,17-dialkoxy-5,15-dihydrodiindolo[2,3-c:2′,3′-n]triphenodioxazines) were newly synthesized. Their structures were confirmed by ¹H-nmr, ms and elemental analysis. The thermal, spectroscopical and electrochemical properties were investigated by means of DSC, uv-vis and cyclic voltammetry.     

Synthesis of New 3′-Deoxyribonucleosides Employing the Acid-Catalyzed Fusion Method

Coupling of 4,6-dichloro-1H-imidazo[4,5-c]pyridine (2,6-dichloro-3-deaza-9H-purine) ( 1 ) with 1,2-O-di-acetyl-5-O-benzoyl-3-deoxy-β-D -ribofuranose ( 2 ), employing the acid-catalyzed fusion method, is reported (Scheme 1). The condensation reaction was regioselective and gave the three N¹-glycosylation products 3 – 5 , whereas no N³-nucleosides were detected. Treatment of 3 – 5 with methanolic ammonia afforded the corresponding deprotected nucleosides 6 – 8 . Compounds 6 and 7 were assigned the structure of the β-D - and α-D -anomeric N¹-(3′-deoxyribo)nucleosides, respectively. The third derivative 8 proved to be the α-D -anomer of a 3′-deoxyarabinonucleoside deriving from epimerization at C(2) of the sugar. The 2-chloro- and N⁶-substituted derivatives 9 , 11 , and 13 of 3′-deoxy-3-deazaadenosine ( 10 ) and of its α-D -anomer 12 can be obtained from these versatile synthons (Schemes 2 and 3).     

Synthesis,purification and spectroscopic characterization of potential impurities of hexamethylmelamine

The syntheses and spectroscopic properties (ir, ¹H nmr, ¹³C nmr, uv and ms) of pure samples of 2-chloro-4,6-bis(dimethylamino)-s-triazine 1 , 4,6-dichloro-2-dimethylamino-s-triazine 2 , 4,6-bis(dimethylamino)-s-triazin-2(lH)-one 3 , 4-chloro-6-dimethylamino-s-triazin-2(1H)-one 4 , 6-dimethylamino-s-triazine-2,4(1H,3H)-dione 5 , and 2,4,6-tris(dimethylamino)-s-triazine (altretamine, HMM) are reported. Evidence for enol-keto equilibria are also presented for 3 , in which the enol form exhibits as an H-bonded dimer structure similar to the dimer of organic carboxylic acids.     

Synthesis of 6-Amino-5-R2-7-(6-R1-4-oxo-3,4-dihydro-2-quinazolyl)-5H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyrazine-2,3-dicarbonitriles

It has been found that malonodinitrile and 2-(6-R¹-oxo-3,4-dihydro-2-quinazolyl)acetonitrile in the presence of triethylamine undergo hetarylation by 5,6-dichloro-2,3-pyrazinedicarbonitrile at the active methylene group to give the triethylammonium salt of 2-(3-chloro-5,6-dicyano-2-pyrazinyl)malononitrile or 5-chloro-6-cyano(6-R¹-4-oxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-2-quinazolylidene)methyl-2,3-pyrazinedicarbonitriles. Reaction of these with primary amines leads to annelation of the pyrrole ring at the pyrazine [b] edge to give 6-amino-5-R-5H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyrazine-2,3,7-tricarbonitriles and 6-amino-5-R²-7-(6-R¹-4-oxo-3,4-dihydro-2-quinazolyl)-5H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyrazine-2,3-dicarbonitriles respectively.     

Pyrrolopyridazine nucleosides. The synthesis of certain 1-β-D-ribofuranosyl-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyridazin-4(5H)-ones

Nucleosides of pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyridazin-4(5H)-ones were prepared by the single-phase sodium salt glycosylation of appropriately functionalized pyrrole precursors. The glycosylation of the sodium salt of ethyl 4,5-dichloro-2-formyl-1H-pyrrole-3-carboxylate ( 4 ), or its azomethino derivative 7 , with 1-bromo-2,3,5-tri-O-benzoyl-D-ribofuranose in acetonitrile afforded the corresponding substituted pyrrole nucleosides ethyl 4,5-dichloro-2-formyl-1-(2,3,5-tri-O-benzoyl-β-D-ribofuranosyl)-1H-pyrrole-3-carboxylate ( 5 ) and ethyl 4,5-dichloro-2-phenylazomethino-1-(2,3,5-tri-O-benzoyl-β-D-ribofuranosyl)-1H-pyrrole-3-carboxylate ( 8 ), respectively. The latter, upon treatment with hydrazine, afforded the annulated product 2,3-dichloro-1-β-D-ribofuranosyl-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyridazin-4(5H)-one ( 6 ), in good yield. The unsubstituted analog 1-β-D-ribofuranosyl-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyridazin-4(5H)-one ( 9 ), was obtained upon catalytic dehalogenation of 6 . This report represents the first example of the synthesis of nucleosides of pyrrolopyridazines.     

Condensed Pyridazines. Part I. Synthesis of 2-Oxo-2H-pyrano[2,3-D]-pyridazine and 2-Oxo-2H-pyrano[2,3-c] pyridazine

The reaction of 4,7-diehlorofuro[2,3-d]pyridazine (1) with potassium cyanide in DMSO gave two products, (E)-3,6-diehloro-5-(2-cyanovinyl)-4-hydroxypyridazine (II) and 5,8-dichloro-2-oxo-2H-pyrano[2,3-d]pyridazine (III) as a result of ring opening or ring expansion. A new ring system, 2-oxo-2H-pyrano[2,3-c]pyridazines (IX, XII, XIII) was obtained from 5,8-dichloro-3-methyl-2-oxo-2H-pyrano[2,3-d]pyridazine (VI).     

Reaction of N1, N2-diarylamidines with chloranil and 2,3-dichloro-1,4-naphthoquinone

Nucleophilic attack by N² of N¹ N²-diarylformamides 1a-c on C-2 of chloranil (2) and subsequently by N¹ on C-1 of 2 initiates the formation of benzimidazolinones 8a-c. In contrast, when 1b-e is reacted with 2,3-dichloro-1,4-naphthoquinone (9) , both chlorine atoms are successively substituted by the two nitrogen atoms and 2-(arylamino)-3-(N-formylarylamino)-1,4-naphthoquinones 13b-e result, which (probably via their cyclic tautomers 12b-e ) may be cyclodehydrogenated to form N¹,N³-diarylnaphtho[2,3-d] imidazoline-2,4,9-triones (as 14b,c ). On the other hand, N¹,N²diarylacetamidines 15a-d attack 2 and 9 at C-2 with N² but subsequently exert nucleophilic character at the acetamidine α-carbon attacking C-1 of 2 and 9 , respectively, thus forming 1-aryl-2-(arylimino)-3a-hydroxy-2,3,3a,6-tetrahydro-1N-indol-6-ones 18a-d and 3-aryl-2-(arylimino)-9b-hydroxy-2,3,5,9b-tetrahydro-1-H-benz[e]indol-5-ones 19b,c , respectively. The latter may be thermally dehydrated to the fully conjugated 2,5-dihydro-3H-benz[e]indol-5-ones 20b,c. Unambiguous structural assignments for 18b and 20c are made on the basis of X-ray crystal structure analyses.     

Synthesis and Adenosine Deaminase Inhibitory Activity of 3′-Deoxy-1-deazaadenosines

New 1-deazapurine nucleosides were synthesized by coupling 2,6-dichloro-1-deaza-9H-purine (=5,7-dichloro-3H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridine) with a 3-deoxyribose derivative by the acid-catalyzed fusion method. The condensation reaction gave an anomeric mixture of the N⁹-β-D - and N⁹-α-D -3′-deoxynucleosides, which were treated with methanolic ammonia at room temperature to obtain the deprotected derivatives. Reaction of the β-D -anomer with different amines gave 2-chloro-N⁶-substituted nucleosides, which were dechlorinated to give the corresponding 3′-deoxy-1-deazaadenosines. Biological studies on adenosine deaminase from calf intestine showed that the new compounds are inhibitors of the enzyme, the 3′-deoxy-1-deazaadenosine being the most potent one with a K_i of 2.6 μM .     

X-ray crystallographic and NMR structural studies of trans-2,3-dichloro-5-ethyl-2,3-dihydrothieno[2 3-b]pyridine syn-1-oxide reactions of thiophene rings with hypochlorite reagents

X-ray analysis of a crystalline product obtained by treatment of 5-ethylthieno[2,3-b]pyridine with excess acidified hypochlorite establishes its stereochemistry as trans-2,3-dichloro-5-ethyl-2,3-dihydrothieno-[2,3-b]pyridine syn-1-oxide (5), wherein the pyridine ring is planar and the dihydrothiophene ring is non-planar with a C2-S-C7a angle of 86.6°. The trans geometry is corroborated by a proton-proton coupling constant J_2,3 of 6.8 Hz. Comparison of ¹H and ¹³C nmr data for 5 with analogous crystalline 2,3-dichloro-1-oxide addenda isolated in the isosteric benzo[b]thiophene and thieno[2,3-b]pyridine parent systems indicates that some proposed stereochemical assignments are questionable.     

POLYROTAXANE WITH π-CONJUGATED PORPHYRIN AND POLYAZOMETHINE SYSTEMS PREPARED FROM A TYPE OF PORPHYRIN-DIALDEHYDE AND COMPLEX OF β-CYCLODEXTRIN WITH 1,4-PHENYLENEDIAMINE

The synthesis of 5,15-bis[4-(methoxycarbonyl)phenyl]-10,20-diphenylporphyrin (2) and its reduction to 5,15-bis[4-(hydroxymethyl)phenyl]-10,20-diphenylporphyrin (3), and so its oxidation to provide 5,15-bis(4-formylphenyl)-10,20-diphenylporphyrin (4) are reported. The copolymer possessing β-cyclodextrin (β-CD), π-conjugated porphyrin and polyazomethine systems was synthesized by the polycondensation of porphyrin-dialdehyde monomer (4) and β-cyclodextrin/1,4-phenylenediamine complex (5). The monomers and the copolymer were characterized by UV-Vis, 1H-NMR and IR spectra. Furthermore, 1H-NMR and FT-IR spectra confirmed locating the aromatic ring of 1,4-phenylenediamine molecule in the center of β-cyclodextrin cavity.     

Directly Linked and Fused Oligoporphyrin Arrays from Oxidation of Metalloporphyrins

The Ag^I-promoted oxidative meso-meso coupling reaction of 5,15-diaryl Zn^II-porphyrins is advantageous in light of its high regioselectivity as well as its easy extension to large porphyrin arrays. Linear meso-meso linked porphyrin 128-mer and three-dimensionally arranged grid porphyrin 48-mer were isolated in a discrete form by repetitive oxidation reaction and subsequent gel-permeation chromatography (GPC)-HPLC. 5,15-Diaryl Cu^II-, Ni^II-, and Pd^II-porphyrins were converted to meso- doubly-linked diporphyrins by oxidation with(p-BrC₆H₄)₃NSbCl₆. End-aryl-capped meso-meso linked Cu^II-, Ni^II-, and Pd^II- diporphyrins were converted to completely fused meso-meso - -triply-linked diporphyrins through the oxidative ring closure (ODRC) reaction with (p-BrC₆H₄)₃NSbCl₆. Finally, we found that Sc^III-catalyzed oxidation with DDQ gave a very efficient ODRC reaction and hence allowed the synthesis of triply-linked oligoporphyrins up to 12-mer.     

Reaction of ketenes with N,N-disubstituted α-aminomethyleneketones. XIII. Synthesis of 2H-pyrano[3,2-d]-1-benzoxepin derivatives

Cycloaddition of dichloroketone to N,N-disubstituted (E)-4-aminomethylene-3,4-dihydro-1-benzoxepin-5(2H)-ones gave N,N-disubstituted 4-amino-3,3-dichloro-3,4,5,6-tetrahydro-2H-pyrano[3,2-d]-1-benzoxepin-2-ones II, which are derivatives of the new heterocyclic system 2H-pyrano[3,2-d]-1-benzoxepin. Dehydrochlorination with triethylamine of II afforded N,N-disubstituted 4-amino-3-chloro-5,6-dihydro-2H-pyrano-[3,2-d]-1-benzoxepin-2-ones III in good to moderate yields. In the triethylamine treatment of IIh (NR₂ = diphenylamino), 3-chloro-5,6-dihydro-2H-pyrano[3,2-d]-1-benzoxepin-2-one was isolated in low yield near to IIIh, whereas IIc (NR² = diisopropylamino) gave in low yield 4-diisopropylamino-5,6-dihydro-2H-pyrano(3,2-d)-1-benzoxepin-2-one.     

Synthesis of 1-methyl-7-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-pyrido[2,3-c][1,2]thiazin-4(3H)-one 2,2-dioxide

The reaction of methyl 2-bromo-6-(trifluoromethyl)-3-pyridinecarboxylate ( 1 ) with methanesulfonamide gave methyl 2-[(methylsulfonyl)amino]-6-(trifluoromethyl)-3-pyridine-carboxylate ( 2 ). Alkylation of compound 2 with methyl iodide followed by cyclization of the resulting methyl 2-[methyl(methylsulfonyl)amino]-6-(trifluoromethyl)-3-pyridinecarboxylate ( 3 ) yielded 1-methyl-7-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-pyrido[2,3-c][1,2]thiazin-4(3H)-one 2,2-dioxide ( 4 ). The reaction of compound 4 with α,2,4-trichlorotoluene, methyl bromopropionate, methyl iodide, 3-trifluoromethylphenyl isocyanate, phenyl isocyanate and 2,4-dichloro-5-(2-propynyloxy)phenyl isothiocyanate gave, respectively, 4-[(2,4-dichlorophenyl)methoxy]-1-methyl-7-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-pyrido[2,3-c][1,2]thiazine 2,2-dioxide ( 5 ), methyl 2-[[1-methyl-2,2-dioxido-7-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-pyrido[2,3-c][1,2]thiazin-4-yl]oxy]propanoate ( 6 ), 1,3,3-trimethyl-7-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-pyrido[2,3-c][1,2]thiazin-4(3H)-one 2,2-dioxide ( 7 ), 4-hydroxy-1-methyl-7-(trifluoromethyl)-N-[3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-1H-pyrido[2,3-c][1,2]thiazine-3-carboxamide 2,2-dioxide ( 8 ), 4-hydroxy-1-methyl-7-(trifluoromethyl)-N-phenyl-1H-pyrido[2,3-c][1,2]thiazine-3-carboxamide 2,2-dioxide ( 9 ) and N-[2,4-dichloro-5-(2-propynyloxy)phenyl]-4-hydroxy-1-methyl-7-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-pyrido[2,3-c][1,2] thiazine-3-carboxamide 2,2-dioxide ( 10 ).     

Reactions of 4-Chloro-3-formylcoumarin with Arylhydrazines

The interaction of 3-formyl-4-coumarin with arylhydrazine hydrochlorides in the presence of sodium acetate gave the corresponding 3-arylhydrazonomethyl-4-chlorocoumarin, and with phenylhydrazine, 4-bromo- and 4-chlorophenylhydrazine hydrochlorides in the presence of two equivalents of triethylamine gave either 1-aryl- or 2-aryl[1]benzopyrano[4,3-c]pyrazol-4-ones depending on the reaction conditions. In reactions of 4-chloro-3-formylcoumarin with 2,4-dichloro-, 2,4-difluoro-, 2-hydroycarbonyl-, 4-nitro- and 3,5-di(trifluoromethyl)phenylhydrazine, 2-pyridyl- and 2-quinoxalylhydrazine in the presence of excess of triethylamine the 2-aryl[1]benzopyrano[4,3-c]pyrazol-4(2H)-ones were obtained exclusively. The structures of 1-phenyl- and 2-(2-pyridyl)[1]benzopyrano[4,3-c]pyrazolo-4(1H)ones were confirmed by X-ray crystallography. A simple method is proposed to distinguish between 1- and 2-substituted [1]benzopyrano[4,3-c]pyrazolo-4-ones on the basis of the ¹H NMR chemical shifts of the C(3)-H proton in two solvents - DMSO-d₆ and CDCl₃.     

Synthesis and chemistry of some pyridazine nucleosides related to certain 5-substituted pyrimidine nucleosides

Condensation of 3,4-dichloro-6-[(trimethylsilyl)oxy] pyridazine ( 3 ) with 1-O-acetyl-2,3,5-tri-O-benzoyl-β- D -ribofuranose ( 4 ), by the stannic chloride catalyzed procedure, has furnished 3,4-dichloro-1-(2,3,5-tri-O-benzoyl-β- D -ribofuranosyl) pyridazin-6-one ( 5 ). Nucleophilic displacement of the chloro groups and removal of the benzoyl blocking groups from 5 has furnished 3-chloro-4-methoxy-, 3,4-dimethoxy-, 4-amino-3-chloro-, 3-chloro-4-methylamino-, 3-chloro-4-hydroxy-, and 4-hydroxy-3-methoxy-1-β- D -ribofuranosylpyridazin-6-one. An unusual reaction of 5 with dimethylamine is reported. Condensation of 4,5-dichloro-3-nitro-6-[(trimethylsilyl)oxy]pyridazine with 4 yielded 4,5-dichloro-3-nitro-1-(2,3,5-tri-O-benzoyl-β- D -ribofuranosyl)pyridazin-6-one ( 24 ). Nucleophilic displacement of the aromatic nitro groups from 24 is discussed. Condensation of 3 with 3,5-di-O-p-toluoyl 2-deoxy- D -erythro-pentofuranosyl chloride ( 28 ) afforded an α, β mixture of 2-deoxy nucleosides. The synthesis of certain 3-substituted pyridazine 2′-deoxy necleosides are reported.     

9-deazapurine nucleosides. The synthesis of certain N-5-2′-deoxy-β-D-erythropentofuranosyl and N-5-β-D-arabinofuranosylpyrrolo[3,2-d]pyrimidines

A number of 2,4-disubstituted pyrrolo[3,2-d]pyrimidine N-5 nucleosides were prepared by the direct glycosylation of the sodium salt of 2,4-dichloro-5H-pyrrolo[3,2-d]pyrimidine (3) using 1-chloro-2-deoxy-3,5-di-O-(p-toluoyl)-α-D -erythropentofuranose (1) and 1-chloro-2,3,5-tri-O-benzyl-α-D-arabinofuranose (11) . The resulting N-5 glycosides, 2,4-dichloro-5-(2-deoxy-3,5-di-O-(p-toluoyl) -β-D-erythropentofuranosyl)-5H-pyrrolo-[3,2-d]pyrimidine (4) and 2,4-dichloro-5-(2,3,5-tri-O-benzyl-β-D-arabinofuranosyl-5H -pyrrolo [3,2-d)pyrimidine (12) , served as versatile key intermediates from which the N-7 glycosyl analogs of the naturally occurring purine nucleosides adenosine, inosine and guanosine were synthesized. Thus, treatment of 4 with methanolic ammonia followed by dehalogenation provided the adenosine analog, 4-amino-5-(2-deoxyerythropentofuranosyl) -5H-pyrrolo[3,2-d]pyrimidine (6) . Reaction of 4 with sodium hydroxide followed by dehalogenation afforded the inosine analog, 5-(2-deoxy-β-D-erythropentofuranosyl) -5H-pyrrolo[3,2-d]pyrimidin-4(3H)-one (9) . Treatment of 4 with sodium hydroxide followed by methanolic ammonia gave the guanosine analog, 2-amino-5-(2-deoxy-β-D-erythropentofuranosyl) -5H-pyrrolo[3,2-d]pyrimidin-4(3H)-one (10) . The preparation of the same analogs in the β-D-arabinonucleoside series was achieved by the same general procedures as those employed for the corresponding 2′-deoxy-β-D-ribonucleoside analogs except that, in all but one case, debenzylation of the sugar protecting groups was accomplished with cyclohexene-palladium hydroxide on carbon, providing 4-amino-5-β-D-arabinofuranosyl-5H-pyrrolo [3,2-d]pyrimidin-4(3H)-one (18) . Structural characterization of the 2′-deoxyribonucleoside analogs was based on uv and proton nmr while that of the arabinonucleosides was confirmed by single-crystal X-ray analysis of 15a . The stereospecific attachment of the 2-deoxy-β-D-ribofuranosyl and β-D-arabinofuranosyl moieties appears to be due to a Walden inversion at the C₁ carbon by the anionic heterocyclic nitrogen (S_N2 mechanism).     

Reactions of 3,5-di(tert-butyl)-1,2-benzoquinone with terminal acetylenes in the presence of phosphorus trichloride. ipso-Substitution of the tert-butyl group

The reactions of 3,5-di(tert-butyl)-1,2-benzoquinone with aryl-and alkylacetylenes in the presence of phosphorus trichloride afford 4-aryl(alkyl)-8-tert-butyl-2,6-dichloro-2-oxo-2H-benzo[e][1,2]oxaphosphinines as the major ipso-substitution products of the tert-butyl group by the chlorine atom. 4-Aryl(alkyl)-6,8-di(tert-butyl)-2,5-dichloro-2-oxo-and 4-aryl(alkyl)-6-tert-butyl-2,8-dichloro-2-oxo-2H-benzo[e][1,2]oxaphosphinines were obtained as the minor products. The structures of the stable representatives of this series were confirmed by X-ray diffraction. Dedicated to Academician G. A. Abakumov on the occasion of his 70th birthday. Published in Russian in Izvestiya Akademii Nauk. Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 9, pp. 1836–1845, September, 2007.     

Carbene Complexes of Pnictogen Pentafluorides and Boron Trifluoride

 Synthesis, characterization, and solid state X-ray crystallographic structures for 12-Pn-6 complexes derived from carbene 4,5-dichloro-1,3-dimesitylimidazol-2-ylidene and phosphorus, arsenic, or antimony pentafluoride are reported. The adducts show octahedral geometries at the pnictogen centers with C-Pn bond distances of 189.8 (P), 199.9 (As), and 217.5 (Sb) pm. The structures are those of internal zwitterions with imidazolium ion character in the heterocyclic ring and a pentafluoropnictanide anion bonded to C². Adducts of BF₃ with 1,3-dimesitylimidazol-2-ylidene and 4,5-dichloro-1,3-dimesitylimidazol-2-ylidene are also reported for comparison. Although the reactivity of chlorinated and non-chlorinated carbenes varies considerably, the spectroscopic and structural properties of analogous adducts are remarkably similar.     

New Hyperforin Derivatives from Hypericum revolutum VAHL with Growth-Inhibitory Activity against a Human Colon Carcinoma Cell Line

The crude petroleum-ether extract of the root bark of Hypericum revolutum VAHL (Guttiferae) exhibited in vitro growth-inhibitory activity against the Co-115 human colon carcinoma cell line. Activity-guided fractionation of this extract resulted in the isolation of two new hyperforin derivatives 1 and 2 . The structure of 1 (hyperevolutin A) was established by X-ray analysis as the 4-hydroxy-8-exo-methyl-5,7-exo-bis(3-methylbut-2-enyl)-1-(2-methyl-1-oxopropyl)-8-endo-(4-methylpent-3-enyl)bicyclo[3.3.1]non-3-ene-2,9-dione. The structure of the homologue 2 was deduced by comparison of its UV and ¹H- and ¹³C-NMR spectra with those of 1 .
