Condensed Isoquinolines. 16. Enamine Properties of Benzo[4,5]imidazo[1,2-b]isoquinolin-11(5H)-one in Terms of Its Acylation Reactions

A study has shown that the acylation of benzo[4,5]imidazol[1,2-b]isoquinolin-11(5H)-one occurs at N₍₅₎ or at C₍₆₎ depending on the nature of the acylating reagent and the reaction conditions. It was found that principally C-acylation takes place in the absence of base. The reaction with -halo-substituted carboxylic acid chlorides leads to the formation of C-acylated products which are converted to derivatives of the novel heterocyclic system 7H-2a,6b-diazabenzo[b]cyclopenta[l,m]fluorene-1,7(2H)-dione in the presence of base.     

Formylation of 3,4-Dihydropyrrolo[1,2-a]pyrazines

Formylation of 3,4-dihydropyrrolo[1,2-a]pyrazines containing alkyl or aryl substituents at position 1 has been studied under the conditions of the Vilsmeier reaction. The direction of the reaction depends on the structure of 3,4-dihydropyrrolo[1,2-a]pyrazine starting materials. Formylation of 1-methyl-substituted 3,4-dihydropyrrolo[1,2-a]pyrazines occurs at the methyl group.     

Synthesis and reactions of 2-[3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]furo[3,2-<Emphasis Type="Italic">c</Emphasis>]pyridine

(E)-3-{5-[3-(Trifluoromethyl)phenyl]furan-2-yl}propenoic acid (I) was prepared from 5-[3-(tri-fluoromethyl)phenyl]furan-2-carbaldehyde under the Doebner’s conditions. The obtained acid was converted to the corresponding azide II, which was cyclized by heating in diphenyl ether to 2-[3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-4,5-dihydrofuro[3,2-c]pyridin-4-one (III). This compound was aromatized with phosphorus oxychloride to chloroderivative IV which was reduced with H₂NNH₂-Pd/C to the title compound V. 2-[3-(Trifluoromethyl)phenyl]furo[3,2-c]pyridin-5-oxide (VI) was synthesized by reaction of V with 3-chloroperoxybenzoic acid in dichloromethane. On treatment of VI with benzoyl chloride and potassium cyanide (Reissert-Henze reaction), corresponding 2-[3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]furo[3,2-c]pyridine-1-carbonitrile (VII) resulted. 5-Amino-2-[3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]furo[3,2-c]pyridin-5-ium-4-methylbenzene sulfonate (VIII) was prepared by direct N-amination of the title compound V with 1-[(aminooxy)sulfonyl]-4-methylbenzene in dichloromethane. Then, VIII was transformed to a non-isolated zwitterionic N-imid IX which afforded the corresponding furo[3,2-c]pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyridine carboxylic acid esters X, XI by 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reactions with dimethyl but-2-ynedionate (DBD) or ethyl propiolate. The structures of all compounds were confirmed by their IR and NMR spectra.

Condensed Isoquinolines. 17. Enamine Properties of Benzimidazo[1,2-b]isoquinolin-11(5H)-one in Alkylation Reactions

The alkylation of benzimidazo[1,2-b]isoquinolin-11(5H)-one has been studied. This occurs at N₍₅₎ or C₍₆₎ depending on the type of alkylating agent and the reaction conditions. It was shown that C₍₆₎ alkylation is effected in reactions with reactive alkyl halides. A repeat alkylation occurs preferentially at the same position. Interaction with o-xylylidene dibromide leads to spiro[benzimidazo[1,2-b]-isoquinolin-6,2'-indan]-11-one and 1,6-dihydro-11H-6a,11b-diazobenzo[b]benzo[5,6]cyclohepta[1,2,3-l,m]fluoren-11-one, which are derivatives of new heterocyclic systems.

Syntheses based on 2-ethoxycarbonylmethyl-7-methyl-1,3,4-thiadiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidin-5(5H)-one

2-Ethoxycarbonylmethyl-7-methyl-1,3,4-thiadiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidin-5(5H)-one containing the active methylene group reacts easily with carbon disulfide and phenyl isothiocyanate in the presence of sodium hydride. Further alkylation of the reaction product by alkyl halides results in the formation of the corresponding 1,3,4-thiadiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidine derivatives containing a ketene dithioacetal fragment.

Acylation of 3,4-Dihydropyrrolo[1,2-a]pyrazines

The direction of trifluoroacetylation with trifluoroacetic anhydride of 3,4-dihydropyrrolo[1,2-a]pyrazines containing an alkyl or aralkyl substituent in position 1 depends on both the structure of the 3,4-dihydropyrrolo[1,2-a]pyrazine starting materials and on the ratio of reagent:substrate. It may lead to both mono- and disubstituted products. Trifluoroacetylation of 1-methyl-3,4-dihydropyrrolo[1,2-a]pyrazines occurs at the methyl group. Acetylation of 3,4-dihydropyrrolo[1,2-a]pyrazines leads only to N-acetyl-substituted reaction products.     

Synthesis of 5-Phenyl-7-trifluoromethyl-2,3-dihydroimidazo[1,2-a]pyridines

Syntheses are reported for a series of 2-alkylamino-6-phenyl-4-trifluoromethylpyridines. The reaction of 3-cyano-2-(hydroxyalkylamino)-6-phenyl-4-trifluoromethylpyridines with thionyl chloride gave the corresponding 2-(chloroalkylamino)pyridines, 8-cyano-5-phenyl-7-trifluoromethyl-2,3-dihydro-imidazo[1,2-a]pyridines, and 9-cyano-6-phenyl-8-trifluoromethyl-2,3,4-trihydropyrido[1,2-a]-pyrimidines. X-ray diffraction structural analysis was used to study 8-cyano-5-phenyl-7-trifluoromethyl-2,3-dihydroimidazo[1,2-a]pyridine.

The three-component reaction of 4-hydroxy-6-methylpyran-2(2H)-one with cyanoacetic acid derivatives and carbonyl compounds in EtOH or in the ionic liquid, viz., 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolinium hexafluorophosphate ([bmim][PF₆]), affords substituted 2-amino-7-methyl-5-oxo-4,5-dihydropyrano[4,3-b]pyrans. The yield of substituted pyrano[4,3-b]pyrans in [bmim][PF₆] is by 10—14% higher than that in EtOH.     

Pyrrolopyrimidines. 5. Reaction of 6-Amino-1,3-dimethylpyrrolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine-2,4(1H,3H)-diones with 1,3-Diketones

The reaction of 6-amino-1,3-dimethylpyrrolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine-2,4-dione with 1,3-diketones leads to formation of predominantly pyrimido[4',5':3,4]pyrrolo[1,2-b]pyridazine-2,4(1H,3H)-diones and, to a lesser extent, pyrimido[5',4':3,4]pyrrolo[1,2-b]pyridazine-1,3(2H,4H)-diones. The ease and direction of the cyclization reaction suggests a very -electron rich pyrrole ring in the initial state, especially in the position 7.     

Synthesis and Properties of 6-Amino-7-hetaryl-5-R-5H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyrazine-2,3-dicarbonitriles

We have established that when 5-chloro-6-[cyano(2,3-dihydro-1-R-benzo[d]azol-2-yl)methyl]-2,3-pyrazinedicarbonitriles are reacted with nucleophilic reagents (aliphatic and aromatic amines, hydrogen sulfide), annelation of the five-membered ring occurs on the [b] face of the pyrazine with formation of 6-amino-7-hetaryl-5-R-5H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyrazine-2,3-dicarbonitriles and 6-amino-7-(1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2-yl)thieno[2,3-b]pyrazine-2,3-dicarbonitrile respectively. Further heating with excess of acylating reagent leads to formation of a novel heterocyclic system 1H-benzo[4,5]imidazo[1,2-c]pyrazino[2',3':4,5]pyrrolo[3,2-e]pyrimidine. Reaction of vicinal dinitriles with hydrazine hydrate leads to the novel system 1H-pyrrolo[2',3':5,6]pyrazino[2,3-d]pyridazine.     

A synthesis of 6-functionalized 7-unsubstituted- and 7-methyl[1,2,4]azolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine derivatives

6-Functionalized 7-R-4,7-dihydro[1,2,4]azolo[1,5-a]pyrimidines (R?=?H or Me) were synthesized by Biginelli-like reaction of formaldehyde or acetaldehyde, aminoazoles, and corresponding β-dicarbonyl precursor. Alkylation of the obtained compounds proceeds smoothly at position 4, while oxidation leads to 7-R-[1,2,4]azolo[1,5-a]pyrimidines formation. 6-Ethoxycarbonyl derivatives could be reduced to the corresponding alcohols by LiAlH₄ and hydrolyzed to the acids.     

The reaction of 2-amino-7-methyl-5-oxo-5H-1,3,4-thiadiazolo[3,2-a]-pyrimidine with carbon disulfide and alkylation of its products

In the reaction with carbon disulfide, 2-amino-7-methyl-5-oxo-5H-1,3,4-thiadiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidine (1) forms the alkaline salts of substituted dithiocarbamic or iminodithiocarbonic acids depending on the molar ratio between1, CS₂, and the alkali. The alkylation of these salts leads to the esters ofN-(7-methyl-5-oxo-5H-1,3,4-thiadiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidine-2-yl)dithiocarbamic (2) and diesters of (7-methyl-5-oxo-5H-1,3,4-thiadiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidine-2-yl)iminodithiocarbonic acids (3). The synthesis of asymmetric diesters3 may be fulfilled based on monoesters2.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk. Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 8, pp. 14–14, August, 1994.

Synthesis of functionalized pyrimidine-4-thiones and derivatives of pyrido[2,3-d]pirimidine-5-one from monoacylketene aminals

Monoacylketene aminals containing an unsubstituted NH₂ group react as C-nucleophiles with benzoyl isothiocyanate to give the corresponding thioamides which undergo cyclization by sodium methoxide in methanol to afford 6-R-amino-5-acetyl-2-phenyl-3H-pyrimidine-4-thiones. A scheme for constructing the pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidine system from keteneaminals is offered. The reaction of 6-R-amino-5-acetyl-2-phenyl-3H-pyrimidine-4-thiones with dimethylformamide dimethylacetal leads to 8-R-N-4-methylthio-8H-pyrido-[2,3-d]pyrimidine-5-ones. Cyclization of 5-acetyl-6-benzoylamino-4-methylthio-2-phenylpyrimidine by sodium methoxide yields N-unsubstituted 4-methylthio-8H-pyrido-[2,3-d]pyrimidine-5-one.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Syntheses of 7H-pyrido-and 7H-pyrano[2,3,4-kl]acridin-2(3H)-ones from 9-chloroacridines

A method for peri-annulation of the pyridine or pyran ring to acridine was developed and used to obtain 7H-pyrido-and 7H-pyrano[2,3,4-kl]acridin-2(3H)-ones. The peri-groups were formed by a reaction of 9-chloro-1-nitroacridine with a CH-acid (malononitrile, ethyl cyanoacetate, and ethyl malonate) followed by reduction of the nitro group, or by a reaction of 1-amino-10-methylacridone with PCl₅ and then with a CH-acid. Replacement of the chlorine atom in 9-chloro-1-methoxyacridines by the residue of the CH-acid with subsequent heating in an acidic medium afforded 7H-pyrano[2,3,4-kl]acridin-2(3H)-ones, which belong to a novel heterocyclic system.
