Synthesis of Lapatinib via direct regioselective arylation of furfural

A new synthesis of Lapatinib, an orally active drug for breast cancer, is described. The synthesis involves a palladium catalyzed regioselective arylation of furfural with 6-bromo-N-(3-chloro-4-((3-fluorobenzyl)oxy)phenyl)quinazolin-4-amine. This key step replaces an atom inefficient Suzuki cross coupling reaction used in a previously disclosed route and significantly shortens the synthesis.     

Synthesis of 1,4,5-trisubstituted-1,2,3-triazoles via coupling reaction of diaminomaleonitrile with aromatic diazonium salts

A mild procedure for the preparation of 2-(5-amino-1-aryl-1H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)-2-iminoacetonitriles and 2-(5-amino-1-aryl-1H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)-2-oxoacetonitriles was achieved by the reaction of diaminomaleonitrile and phenyl/substituted phenyl diazonium chlorides. 4-Nitrophenyl diazonium chloride afforded 2-amino-3-(3-(4-nitrophenyl)triaz-1-en-1-yl)maleonitrile. Triazole iminoacetonitrile and maleonitrile derivatives were reacted further with excess acetone and benzaldehyde with a catalytic amount of 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene to yield 5-(5-imino-2,2-dimethyl-2,5-dihydrooxazol-4-yl)-3-aryl-3H-1,2,3-triazol-4-amine and (E)-N-benzylidene-5-(5-imino-2-aryl-2,5-dihydrooxazol-4-yl)-3-aryl-3H-1,2,3-triazol-4-amine, respectively. Two competitive reactions, i.e., nucleophilic substitution and nucleophilic addition, were observed when triazole oxoacetonitrile and maleonitrile derivatives were reacted with hydroxylamine hydrochloride in the presence of sodium acetate.     

Cyclisation of 2-(2-aminophenyl)quinazolin-4(3H)-one reexamined: formation of isomeric angular fused quinazolinoquinazolinones and their spectroscopic identification

Cyclisation of 2-(2-aminophenyl)quinazolin-4(3H)-ones on to N₃ and on to N₁ leading to 6-alkyl-(8H)-quinazolino[4,3-b]quinazolin-8-one and 6-alkyl-(13H)-quinazolino[3,4-a]quinazolin-13-one, respectively was described for the first time. The differences in the IR and carbon NMR data of these isomeric fused quinazolinoquinazolinones afford a useful method for distinguishing between the two series.     

One-pot synthesis of quinazolin-4(3H)-ones and fused quinazolinones by a palladium-catalyzed domino process

An efficient one-pot synthesis of quinazolin-4(3H)-ones, benzoimidazo[2,1-b]quinazolin-12(6H)-ones and imidazo[2,1-b]quinazolin-5(1H)-ones via a palladium-catalyzed domino process has been developed. The Pd-catalyzed reactions of 2-azidobenzamides 1 with isocyanides 2 produced quinazolin-4(3H)-ones 4 at room temperature by a domino Pd-catalyzed cross-coupling/carbodiimide-mediated cyclization. However, as 2-azido-N-(2-bromophenyl)benzamides 1 were used under heating condition in the presence of Cs₂CO₃, the benzoimidazo[2,1-b]quinazolin-12(6H)-ones 5 were directly obtained by twice Pd-catalyzed domino cyclization. A domino reogioselective 5-exo-dig intramolecular cyclization reaction of alkynyl-containing azides 6 with isocyanides 2 generated imidazo[2,1-b]quinazolin-5(1H)-ones 9 in 74–93% yields in the presence of catalyst Pd(PPh₃)₄ and K₂CO₃.     

Tandem addition–cyclization of o-ethynylphenyl isothiocyanates with N nucleophiles; difference of cyclization mode between primary and secondary amines

Silver triflate promotes the 6-exo-dig mode cyclization of the N-(2-ethynylphenyl)thioureas, which were easily obtained from the o-ethynylphenyl isothiocyanates and the primary amines, to provide the 2-imino-4-methylidene-1H-benzo[d][1,3]thiazines as the sole product in excellent yields. The secondary amines reacted with the o-ethynylphenyl isothiocyanates to give both the 6-exo and 5-endo-dig mode cyclization products under the same conditions.     

Study of plant coumarins: XIV. Catalytic amination of 7-hydroxycoumarin derivatives

Catalytic amination of 7-hydroxy-6-cyanocoumarin or 7-hydroxy-6-methoxycarbonylcoumarin triflates with substituted anilines, isoquinolin-5-amine, 1H-pyrazol-3-amine, or amino acids of penicillin series affords the corresponding 7-(N-substituted) aminocoumarins. In the amination of the mentioned triflates and also of peuruthenicine tosilate with 2-(piperidin-1-yl)aniline the catalytic system Pd(OAc)₂-BINAP has been efficient.

Irradiation of 2-chloro-N-(pyridin-2-yl)pyridin-3-amine and N-(2-chloropyridin-3-yl)-4,6-dimethyl-pyrimidin-2-amine in aqueous-alcoholic solution gave new azinoazole derivatives, 6-chlorodipyrido-[1,2-a:5′,4′-d]imidazole and 1,3-dimethylpyrido[3′,2′:4,5]imidazo[1,2-a]pyrimidine, respectively.     

Synthesis of novel pyrimidine derivatives with (pyridin-3-ylmethyl)thio and phenylamino moieties and evaluation of their antifungal activity

A series of novel pyrimidine derivatives with (pyridin-3-ylmethyl)thio and phenylamino moieties were synthesized from ethyl acetoacetate, thiourea, 3-pyridinylmethyl chloride hydrochloride, and substituted anilines by multi-step reactions. The structures of the target compounds were characterized by IR, ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR and elemental analysis. The in vitro antifungal activities against Botrytis cinerea and Sclerotinia sclerotiorum were evaluated. The result showed that N-phenyl-6-methyl-2- ((pyridin-3-ylmethyl)thio) pyrimidin-4-amine (4a) displayed high inhibition activity against Botrytis cinerea with 87.5%inhibition at 100 µg/mL; 4a, and N-(4-isopropylphenyl)-6-methyl-2-((pyridin-3-ylmethyl)thio)pyrimidin-4-amine (4c), N-(4-methoxyphenyl)-6-methyl-2-((pyridin-3-ylmethyl)thio)pyrimidin-4-amine (4d) and N-(2-hydroxy-5-chloro)-6-methyl-2-((pyridin-3-ylmethyl)thio)pyrimidin- 4-amine (4h) exhibited sufficient activities against Sclerotinia sclerotiorum with 86.6% –93.7% inhibitions at the same concentration.     

Studies on the Base-Pairing Properties of N7-(2-Deoxy-β-D-erythro-pentofuranosyl)guanine (N7Gd)

The base-pairing properties of N⁷-(2-deoxy-β-D -erythro-pentofuranosyl)guanine (N⁷G_d; 1 ) are investigated. The nucleoside 1 was obtained by nucleobase-anion glycosylation. The glycosylation reaction of various 6-alkoxy-purin-2-amines 3a - i with 2-deoxy-3,5-di-O-(4-toluoyl)-α-D -erythro-pentofuranosyl chloride ( 8 ) was studied. The N⁹/N⁷-glycosylation ratio was found to be 1:1 when 6-isopropoxypurin-2-amine ( 3d ) was used, whereas 6-(2-methoxyethoxy)purin-2-arnine ( 3i ) gave mainly the N⁹-nucleoside (2:1). Oligonucleotides containing compound 1 were prepared by solid-phase synthesis and hybridized with complementary strands having the four conventional nucleosides located opposite to N⁷G_d. According to T_m values and enthalpy data of duplex formation, a base pair between N⁷G_d and dG is suggested. From the possible N⁷G_d dG base pair motives, Hoogsteen pairing can be excluded as 7-deaza-2′-deoxyguanosine forms the same stable base pair with N⁷G_d as dG.     

Hydrolysis study: Synthesis of novel styrenic Schiff bases derived from benzothiazole

Novel styrenic Schiff base derivatives of benzothiazole are synthesized. The condensation of 4-vinylbenzaldehyde 1 with either benzothiazol-2-amine or 4-methoxy-benzothiazol-2-amine leads to a mixture of two isomers. From 4-methyl-benzothiazol-2-amine and 6-fluoro-benzothiazol-2-amine, the N-(4-vinylbenzylidene)-4-methyl-benzothiazol-2-amine 8 and N-(4-vinylbenzylidene)-6-fluoro-benzothiazol-2-amine 9 are isolated, respectively. The structures of the synthesized Schiff bases are confirmed through a combination of various spectroscopic techniques including IR, UV, ¹H and ¹³C NMR. A kinetic study of the hydrolysis process of derivatives 6 and 9 in buffered aqueous medium at pH 4.4, 7.4 and 8.5 is conducted by UV spectroscopy. It is shown that the hydrolysis of these compounds is a first order reaction showing an increasing rate as the medium acidity is enhanced.

Compound 5 was reacted with m-chloroperbenzoic acid to give 4-methylsulfinyl-6-(β-D-ribofuranosyl)[1,3,5]triazin-2-amine ( 6 ). Displacement of the methyl sulfinyl with the appropriate nucleophile gave 6-(β-D-ribofuranosyl)[1,3,5]triazine-2,4-diamine ( 7 ), 4-amino-6-(β-D-ribofuranosyl)[1,3,5]triazin-2(1H)-one ( 8 ), and 4-amino-6-(β-D-ribofuranosyl)[1,3,5]triazine-2(1H)-thione ( 9 ). Dethiation of compound 5 with Raney nickel gave 4-(β-D-ribofuranosyl)[1,3,5]triazin-2-amine ( 10 ). The crystal structure of 7 was determined by single crystal X-ray.

A simple method for the synthesis of N-alkyl-2-arylquinazolin-4-amines, methyl 4-((2-arylquinazolin-4-yl)amino) butanoates, 6-aryl-2,3-dihydro-4H-pyrimido[1,2-c]quinazolin-4-ones, and 5-arylimidazo[1,2-c]quinazolin-3(2H)-ones has been described. It involves a simple reaction of N-(2-cyanophenyl)-substitutedbenzimidoyl chlorides with alkylamine, γ-aminobutyric acid, β-alanine, l -alanine, and glycine methyl esters hydrochloride in acetonitrile to afford the desired compounds after a series of instantaneous reactions that include Dimroth rearrangement. The reaction involves reflux for 12 hours, simple addition of reagents to an in situ generated benzimidoyl chloride, and simple workup, to form 21 examples of pure compounds in high yields. The active intermediate N-(2-cyanophenyl)-substitutedbenzimidoyl chlorides were formed by the reaction of N-(2-cyanophenyl)-substitutedbenzamides with thionyl chloride in a one-pot strategy. The alternative method described for this preparation deals with an exhausting multistep reactions starting from anthranilic acid.
