1,3-Dipolar cycloaddition of β-alkoxyvinyl trifluoromethylketones with aryl (or benzyl) azides: Synthesis of 4-trifluoroacetylated 1H-1,2,3-triazoles

The 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of aryl (or benzyl) azides with 1,1,1-trifluoro-4-ethoxy-3-butene-2-one proceeded smoothly by heating without solvent. 1-Aryl (or benzyl)-4-trifluoroacetyl-1H-1,2,3-triazoles were formed regiospecifically in good yield. These compounds were readily hydrated when exposed to air. In contrast, the reaction of benzyl azide with 4-trifluoroacetyl-2,3-dihydrofuran only gave minor amounts of 4-trifluoroacetyl-5-benzylamino-2,3-dihydrofuran in addition to an inseparable mixture of other products. 5-Trifluoroacetyl-3,4-dihydro-2H-pyran was inert towards benzyl azide under the same conditions.

4-Oxo-3,4-dihydro-2-chromen-3-yl acetate is synthesized using manganese(III)acetate starting from 2,3-dihydro-4H-chromen-4-one. K₂CO₃ mediated hydrolysis of 4-oxo-3,4-dihdro-2-chromen-3-yl acetate furnished 3-hydroxy-2,3-dihydro-4H-chromen-4-one in high yield.The enantioselective hydrolysis of (±)-4-oxo-3,4-dihydro-2-chromen-3-yl acetate in various organic solvent-phosphate buffer (pH7) systems and enantioselective transesterification of (±)-3-hydroxy-2,3-dihydro-4H-chromen-4-one in organic solvents was investigated by screening a range of lipases. The lipase Amano PS, PPL, PLE and CCL-catalyzed asymmetric ester hydrolysis and transesterification afforded the enantiomers of 3-hydroxy-2,3-dihydro-4H-chromen-4-one and 4-oxo-3,4-dihydro-2-chromen-3-yl acetate with high enantiomeric excess (up to 97% ee) and in good yields.

A plausible mechanism is postulated for the dehydration of the rac.-trans-amide 2 .

From the latter we synthesized 2-amino-5,5-dimethyl-3-cyano-4,5-dihydro-7H-furo[2,3-c]thiopyran; this is a starting material for the preparation of furo[2,3-d]pyrimidine condensed with tetrahydrothiopyran and triazole rings.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 10, pp. 1403–1405, October, 1990.     

Kondesationen mit hydrazin-N,N′-dicarbonsäurediamidin,XXIII [1] fluorierte β-diketone als reaktionspartner

Application of a 30% aqueous potassium carbonate solution for the condensation of 1,2-hydrazinedicaboxamidine with 1,1,1-trifluoro-2,4-pentanedione leads to the formation of 4,4′-dimethyl-6,6′-bis(trifluoromethyl)-2,2′-hydrazopyrimidine, with 1,1,1-trifluoro-2,4-hexanedione to 4,4′-diethyl-6,6′-bis-(trifluoromethyl)-2,2′-hydrazopyrimidine. 2-Guanidinoamino-4-methyl-6-trifluoromethylpyridine formed as an intermediate in this reacton may be isolated, while 4-ethyl-2-guanidinoamino-6-trifluoromethylpyrimidine undergoes cyclization to yield 2-amino-5-ethyl-7-trifluoromethyl-s-triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine.     

Synthesis and cytotoxic activity of benzo[a]pyrano[3,2-h] and [2,3-i]xanthone analogues of psorospermine, acronycine, and benzo[a]acronycine

Condensation of 2-hydroxy-1-naphthalenecarboxylic acid with phloroglucinol afforded 9,11-dihydroxy-12H-benzo[a]xanthen-12-one (6). Construction of an additional dimethylpyran ring onto this skeleton, by alkylation with 3-chloro-3-methyl-1-butyne followed by Claisen rearrangement, gave access to 6-hydroxy-3,3-dimethyl-3H,7H-benzo[a]pyrano[3,2-h]xanthen-7-one (12) and 5-hydroxy-2,2-dimethyl-2H,6H-benzo[a]pyrano[2,3-i]xanthen-6-one (13), which were methylated into 6-methoxy-3,3-dimethyl-3H,7H-benzo[a]pyrano[3,2-h]xanthen-7-one (14) and 5-methoxy-2,2-dimethyl-2H,6H-benzo[a]pyrano[2,3-i]xanthen-6-one (15), respectively. Osmium tetroxide oxidation of 14 and 15 gave the corresponding (+/-)-cis-diols 16 and 17, which afforded the corresponding esters 18-21 upon acylation. Similarly, condensation of 2-hydroxy-1-naphthalenecarboxylic acid with 3,5-dimethoxyaniline gave 11-amino-9-methoxy-12H-benzo[a]xanthen-12-one (23) which was converted into 11-amino-9-hydroxy-12H-benzo[a]xanthen-12-one (24) upon treatment with hydrogen bromide in acetic acid. Alkylation with 3-chloro-3-methyl-1-butyne followed by Claisen rearrangement afforded 6-amino-3,3-dimethyl-3H,7H-benzo[a]pyrano[3,2-h]xanthen-7-one (25) and 5-amino-2,2-dimethyl-2H,6H-benzo[a]pyrano[2,3-i]xanthen-6-one (26). The new benzopyranoxanthone derivatives only displayed marginal antiproliferative activity when tested against L1210 and KB-3-1 cell lines. The only compounds found significantly active against L1210 cell line, 16 and 20, belong to the benzo[a]pyrano[3,2-h]xanthen-7-one series, which possess a pyran ring fused angularly onto the xanthone basic core.
