The synthesis of [1]benzothieno[2,3-c]quinolines, [1]benzothieno[2,3-c][1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]quinoline,and [1]benzothieno[2,3-c]tetrazolo[1,5-a]quinoline

Photocyclization of 3-chloro-N-phenylbenzo[b]thiophene-2-carboxamide 10 afforded [1]benzothieno[2,3-c]-quinolin-6(5H)-one 11 which was chlorinated to 6-chloro[1]benzothieno[2,3-c]quinoline 12 followed by dechlorination to give [1]benzothieno[2,3-c]quinoline 5 . A series of 6-substituted alkoxy and thioalkoxy[1]benzothieno[2,3-c]quinoline derivatives were prepared along with the N-methyl quaternary salt 13 of 5 . 6-Chloro[1]-benzothieno[2,3-c]quinoline 12 was converted into 6-hydrazino[1]benzothieno[2,3-c]quinoline 23 which upon treatment with formic acid yielded [1]benzothieno[2,3-c][1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]quinoline 6 . Treatment of 23 with nitrous acid resulted in [1]benzothieno[2,3-c]tetrazolo[1,5-a]quinoline 7 . Compounds 6 and 7 are novel heterocyclic ring systems.     

[1]Benzothienopyrimidines. II. Study of the electrophilic substitutions of [1]benzothieno[3,2-d]pyrimidine and [1]benzothieno[3,2-d]pyrimidin-4-(3H)one

The nitration and bromination of both [1]benzothieno[3,2-d]pyrimidin-4(3H)one ( 1 ) and [1]benzothieno-[3,2-d]pyrimidine ( 2 ) has been studied. Nitration of 1 at ?30° afforded a mixture of 8-nitro[1]benzothieno-[3,2-d]pyrimidin-4(3H)one ( 7b ) (70%) and 6-nitro[1]benzothieno[3,2-d]pyrimidin-4(3H)one ( 7a ) (30%). However when the nitration was carried out at 60°, the 6,8-dinitro derivative 8 was the result. On the contrary, the nitration of 2 at ?30° gave a single nitration product, 8-nitro[1]benzothieno[3,2-d]pyrimidine ( 11 ). The bromination of both 1 and 2 gave the corresponding 8-bromo derivatives 10 and 13 . Assignment of structure of all the products was based on ir and nmr spectral studies and on unequivocal syntheses.     

The synthesis of monomethoxy[1]benzothieno[2,3-c]quinolines

A series of monomethoxy[1]benzothieno[2,3-c]quinolines 24-28 were prepared by photocylization of the appropriate 3-chloro-N-phenylbenzo[b]thiophene-2-carboxamides 9–13 to [1]benzothieno[2,3-c]quinolin-6(5H)-ones 14-18 followed by chlorination to 6-chloro[1]benzothieno[2,3-c]quinolines 19-23 then dechlorination resulting in the title compounds except for 25 which was achieved by direct reduction of 15 . Reaction of 24-28 with methyl iodide provided the corresponding N-methyl quaternary salts 29-33 . Also, conversion of 4-meth-oxy[1]benzothieno[2,3-c]quinolin-6(5H)-one 16 to 4-methoxy-6-methylthio[1]benzothieno[2,3-c]quinoline 35 and 4,6-dimethoxy[1]benzothieno[2,3-c]quinoline 36 is described.     

[1,3]Dioxolo[5,6][1]benzothieno[2,3-c]-quinolin-6(5H)-ones

Summary The reaction of 3,4-methylenedioxycinnamic acid (1) with thionyl chloride resulted in the formation of 7-chlorothieno[2,3-f]-1,3-benzodioxole-6-carbonyl chloride (2) and cinnamoyl chloride (3). Subsequent reaction of the former withp-substituted anilines led to the formation of 7-chloro-N-(p-substituted phenyl)-thieno[2,3-f]-1,3-benzodioxole-6-carboxamides (4a–c) which on photocyclization afforded 2-substituted [1,3]dioxolo[5,6][1]benzothieno[2,3-c]quinolin-6(5H)-ones (5a–c) in fairly good yields and high purity. The structures have been confirmed by IR,¹H NMR, and analytical methods.Accepted for presentation at the Hong Kong International Symposium on Heterocyclic Chemistry (August 13–16, 1995)     

The synthesis of dimethoxy- and trimethoxy[1]benzothieno[2,3-c]quinolines

Three dimethoxy[1]benzothieno[2,3-c]quinolines 24–26 were prepared by photocyclization of the appropriate 3-chloro-N-phenylbenzo[b]thiophene-2-carboxamides 15–17 to [1]benzothieno[2,3-c]quinolin-6(5H)-ones 18–20 followed by chlorination to 6-chloro[1]benzothieno[2,3-c]quinolines 21–23 and then dechlorination resulting in the title compounds. Reaction of 24–26 with methyl iodide furnished the corresponding N-methyl quaternary salts 27–29 . Sodium methoxide readily converted 21–23 to trimethoxy[1]benzothieno[2,3-c]quinolines 30–32 .     

Synthesis of thiopyrano[2,3-d] pyrimidines and thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidines

The reaction of 4-chloro-5-cyano-2-methylthiopyrimidine (I) with ethyl mercaptosuccinate (II) in refluxing ethanol containing sodium carbonate has afforded diethyl 3-amino-2-(methyl-thio)-7H-thiopyrano[2,3-d]pyrimidine-6,7-dicarboxylate (IV). Displacement of the methylthio group in IV with hydrazine gave the corresponding hydrazino derivative which underwent Schiff base formation with benzaldehyde or 2,6-dichlorobenzaldehyde. Treatment of IV in refluxing acetic anhydride afforded the corresponding diacetylated amino derivative. Partial saponification of IV with sodium hydroxide gave 5-amino-2-(methylthio)-7H-thiopyrano-[2,3-d]pyrimidine 6,7-dicarboxylic acid 6 ethyl ester (VIII). The reaction of 4-amino-6-chloro-5-cyano-2-phenylpyrirnidine (XI) with II resulted in the formation of ethyl 4-amino-6-(ethoxy-carbonyl)-5,6-dihydro-5-amino-2-phenylthieno[2,3-d]pyrimidine-6-acetate (XIII) which when subjected to hydrolysis gave ethyl 4,5-diamino-2-phenylthieno[2,3-d]pyrimidine-6-acetate isolated as the hydrochloride (XIV). Diazotization of IV with sodium nitrite in acetic acid unexpectedly afforded diethyl 5-(acetyloxy)-6,7-dihydro-6-hydroxy-2-(methylthio)-5H-thio-pyrano[2,3-d]pyrimidine-6,7-diearboxylate (XV). Several structural ambiguities were resolved by ir and pmr spectra.

In addition, Mannich reactions of [I]benzothieno[3,2-d]pyrimidin-4(3H)-one (VIII) with formaldehyde and secondary amines gave the expected derivatives, IX. 3-Amino[I]benzothieno[3,2-d]-pyrimidin-4(3H)-one (VI) reacted with substituted aromatic aldehydes in the presence of boron trifluoride to yield the corresponding imines VII.

The synthesis of 1,2-dihydro[1]benzofuro[2,3-d]pyridazin-1-one and 3,4-dihydro [1]benzofuro[2,3-d]pyridazin-4-one was accomplished by the eyclization of appropriately carbonyl-substituted benzofuran derivatives. Another successful synthetic route was provided using 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro[1]benzofuro[2,3-d]pyridazine-1,4 dione and 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro[1]benzofuro[2,3-d]pyridazin-4-one. The structure of a nitrobenzofuropyridazin-4-one was established using nmr and the nuclear Overhauser effect.     

The synthesis of substituted [1]benzothieno[2,3-c]quinolines and their N-methyl quaternary salts

Four substituted [1]benzothieno[2,3-c]quinolines 14a-14d were prepared by photocyclization of the appropriate carboxamides 8a-8d to the corresponding [1]benzothieno[2,3-c]quinolin-6(5H)-ones 12a-12d followed by chlorination to 6-chloro[1]benzothieno[2,3-c]quinolines 13a-13d and dechlorination resulting in the title compounds. Treatment of 14a-14d with iodomethane furnished the corresponding N-methyl quaternary salts 5a-5d .     

Complete assignment of the 1h- and 13c-nmr spectra of [1]benzothieno[2,3-c]naphtho[1,2-h]quinoline and [1]benzothieno[2,3-c]naphtho[1,2-h][1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]quinoline. Concerted use of two-dimensional nmr techniques

The ¹H- and ¹³C-nmr spectra of [1]benzothieno[2,3-c]naphtho[1,2-h]quinoline and [1]benzothieno[2,3-c]-naphtho[1,2-h][1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]quinoline were totally assigned using a combination of two-dimensional nmr techniques. After correlation of the proton signals by a COSY spectrum and one-bond heteronuclear correlation, complete assignment of the ¹H- and ¹³C-nmr spectra of the novel heterocyclic compounds required the application of long-range CH coupling information particularly for quarternary resonance assignments and the orientations of individual spin systems relative to one another.     

Bridgehead nitrogen heterocycles derived from the potassium salt of 2,3,5,6,7,8-hexahydro-3-amino-2-thioxo benzothieno[2,3-d ]pyrimidin-4-(1H)-one

Derivatives of tetraheterocyclic linear system 2, 4 and 5 were prepared by reacting the potassium salt 1 with the appropriate alpha-halocarbonyl compounds. Moreover, through reaction of methyl mercapto 6 with hydrazine the new heterocyclic system 1,4,7,8,9,10-hexahydro-6H-[1]benzothieno[2′,3′:4,5]pyrimido[1,2-b]-[1,2,4,5]tetrazin-6-one ( 8 ) was also obtained.

Synthesis of [1]benzothieno[3,2-d]pyrimidines substituted with electron donating substituents on the benzene ring

Various 2-fluorobenzonitriles were converted to the corresponding 3-amino[1]benzothiophenecarboxylic acid esters, which in turn were annulated with formamidine or various equivalents to produce the desired tricyclic benzothienopyrimidines. Various methoxy and nitro/amino substituents were placed on the phenyl ring, requiring several different strategies to prepare the desired benzothiophenes. Several different pyrimidone annulations were also required. The use of an electron rich 2-bromobenzonitrile in a four-step one-pot low temperature lithiation sequence to produce highly electron-rich amino[1]benzothiophenecarboxylate esters is also described. The synthesis of 7-amino-8-fluoro[1]benzothieno[3,2-d]pyriinid-4(3H)-one was relatively straightforward, but synthesis of the corresponding 7-amino-8-protio analogue proved to be very difficult, and required several approaches before a successful one was found.
