Cyclization of 3-[2-(1-bromoethyl)-4-oxo-3,4-dihydroquinazolin-3-yl)propionic acid 14 by the action of triethylamine provided the first representative of the tricyclic 7H-[1,4]oxazepino[3,4-b]quinazoline-3,7-dione system, compound 15.

Polycondensed heterocycles. II. A new preparative route to 11-Oxo-5H,11H-pyrrolo[2,1-c][1,4]benzothiazepine

6-Methylthio-10-oxo-5H,10H-pyrrolo[1,2-b]isoquinoline 11 was isolated in an attempted synthesis of 11-oxo-5H,11H-pyrrolo[2,1-c][1,4]benzothiazepine 1 from 1-(2-methylthiobenzyl)pyrrole-2-carboxylic acid chloride 9 , obtained using as starting material o-methylthiobenzyl bromide 3 and passing through 1-(2-methylthiobenzyl)pyrrole-2-carbonitrile 5 , by cyclization with aluminum chloride. However the successful demethylation with sodium in dimethylacetamide of 1-(2-methylthiobenzyl)pyrrole-2-carboxyamide 12 , formed by hydrolysis of nitrile 5 , allowed us to prepare by another way the corresponding thiol 13 and consequently the 1-(2-mercaptobenzyl)pyrrole-2-carboxylic acid 14 , which when subjected to intramolecular ring closure by CDI in place of DCC gave 1 in higher yield, 69% instead of 43%. Finally, the direct cyanation of 1-(2-ethoxycarbonylthiobenzyl)pyrrole 16 , prepared utilizing the 1-(2-mercaptobenzyl)pyrrole 15 obtained by demethylation of the corresponding thioanisol 4 which was carried out as above, afforded the unexpected 1-(2-ethylthio-benzyl)pyrrole-2-carbonitrile 17 .     

Etude de la décomposition thermique d'azido dithiényl-1,2 éthènes et éthanes

Thermal decomposition of azido-1,2-dithienylethenes 1 gave thienyl 4H-thieno[3,2-b]pyrroles 3 . For the 3,4-disubstituted thiophene derivatives 2 , the same reaction led to the amino-1,2-dithienylethenes 4 . In contrast, only azido-1,2-dithienylethanes 7 led to thienyl-5,6-dihydro-4H-thieno[3,4-b]pyrroles 8 . The structure of the obtained derivatives was established on the basis of ¹H nmr, ir, and mass spectral data.

The cyclisation of the N-carbethoxy hydrazone of the pyrrole-2-carboxaldehyde gave the 3,4-dihydro-4-oxopyrrolo[1,2-d]-1,2,4-triazine. Electrophilic substitution reactions of the 1- and 4-pyrrolotriazinones were made either on the lactam nitrogen with methyl sulphate, benzyl chloride and monochloroacetic acid or on the pyrrole ring with bromine and nitric acid. The structure of the derivatives was determined by ¹H nmr.     

The reaction of methyl pyrrole-2-carboxylate with epoxides

Potassium methyl pyrrole-2-carboxylate and styrene oxide are shown to yield trans-1-styrylpyrrole-2-carboxylic acid (dry conditions) and 1-(2-hydroxy-2-phenylethyl)pyrrole-2-carboxylic acid (moist conditions). The hydroxy acid yields 1H-3-phenyl-3,4-dihydropyrrolo[2.1-c]-[1.4]oxazin-1-one, on treatment with polyphosphoric acid. Vinyl acids were also obtained from the potassium pyrrole ester and ethylene oxide, propylene oxide, and cis- and trans-stilbene oxide; the latter two compounds yielded stereospecific products.

The nitration of dithieno[3,4-b:3′,2′-d]pyridine ( 2 ) and dithieno[2,3-b:3′,2′-d]pyridine ( 3 ) has been studied. Nitration of 2 occurred in both positions of the c-fused thiophene ring, while 3 was predominantly substituted in the 2-position. The structures of the nitro derivatives were proven by extensive use of ¹H and ¹³C nmr spectroscopy.     

Saturated heterocycles. 254 . synthesis and stereochemistry of saturated or partially saturated pyridazino-[6,1-b]- and phthalazino[1,2-b]quinazolinones

By the reaction of anthranilic hydrazide 1 with cis-2-(p-methylbenzoyl)-1-cyclohexanecarboxylic acid 2a or diendo-3-(p-methylbenzoyl)bicyclo[2.2.1]heptane-2-carboxylic acid 2b , fused tetra- and pentacyclic ring systems 3a, b were prepared, trans-2-Amino-1-cyclohexanecar-bohydrazide 4b was reacted with 3-(p-chlorobenzoyl)propionic acid 5 to yield the pyridazino[6,1-b]quinazolinone 6 . From the reaction of cis-2-amino-1-cyclohexanecarbohydrazide 4a with 2a , three isomeric partially saturated 8H-phthalazino[1,2-b]quinazolin-8-ones 7a-c were formed. The reaction of diexo-2-aminobicyclo[2.2.1]heptane-3-carbohydrazide 4c and 2a furnished the pentacyclic derivatives 8 and 9 containing a 3-aryl-4,5-dihydropyridazine or 3-arylhexahydropyridazine ring C with cis annelated C/D rings. The formation of 8 and 9 involving different ring systems can be rationalized by two reaction pathways: (i) in the bislactam 9 the carboxyl group acylates the hydrazide, while (ii) in 8 it forms a pyridazine ring with the cyclic amino group by cyclocondensation. The structures of the products were elucidated by ¹H and ¹³C nmr methods, including DEPT, DNOE and 2D-HSC measurements.

The structures of the 6-substituted octahydropyridoquinazolinones and hexahydroindo-lopyridoquinazolinones were characterized by uv, ¹H and ¹³C nmr data.     

Synthesis of a rotenone-like benzopyranobenzopyranone

The synthesis of a novel rotenone-like molecule, 9-methoxy-8-methyl-6,6a,12,12a-tetrahydro[1]benzopyrano-[3,4-b][1]benzopyran-12-one ( 2 ) is described. Efficient syntheses of 3,4-dihydro-2H-[1]benzopyran-3-one ( 9 ) from ethyl 3-hydroxy-2H-[1]benzopyran-4-carboxylate ( 6 ), an intermediate in the synthesis of 2 , were developed. Thermolysis of 6 and 9 in decalin yielded 6,8-dihydro-14H-bis[1]benzopyrano[3,4-b:4′,3′-e]pyran-14-one ( 8 ), which has previously been described. Also produced in the thermolysis was the isomeric 1H-bis[1]-benzopyrano[3,4-b:3′,4′-á]pyran-7-(9H)one ( 10 ), the first member of a novel, pentacyclic ring system.

The ability of these compounds to displace [3H]flunitrazepam from CNS binding sites was also observed.     

Autocorrelated 13c-13c double quantum coherence two-dimensional nmr spectroscopy: Utilization of a modified version of the technique as an adjunct in the total assignment of the 1h- and 13c-nmr spectra of the mutagen phenanthro[3,4-b]thiophene

Development of successively higher field nmr spectrometers has facilitated the study of increasingly more complex molecules, although smaller molecules such as phenanthro[3,4-b]thiophene still offer very substantial assignment problems because of the highly congested nature of their ¹H- and ¹³C-nmr spectra. Assignments of such spectra, if they are to be unequivocal, frequently require the utilization of two-dimensional nmr spectroscopic techniques. Total assignments of the ¹H- and ¹³C-nmr spectra of phenanthro[3,4-b]thiophene are reported. Assignments were based on a conventional high resolution 500 MHz ¹H-nmr spectrum, autocorrelated two-dimensional ¹H-nmr spectra (COSY), two-dimensional ¹H-¹³C chemical shift correlation spectra and a modified version of autocorrelated ¹³C-¹³C double quantum coherence two-dimensional nmr spectroscopy. From NOE measurements, a separation of 1.99 Å between H1 and H11 was computed, suggesting that phenanthro[3,4-b]thiophene has a pronounced helical conformation in solution.
