The sodium ethoxide catalyzed condensation of 4,5-diaminopyrimidine ( 3 ) with diethyl malonate afforded 6,7,8,9-tetrahydro-5H-pyrimido[4,5-b][1,4]diazepine-6,8-dione ( 4 ). Methylation of 6,7,8,9-tetrahydro-5H-pyrimido[4,5-b][1,4]diazepine-6,8-dione ( 4 ) using sodium hydride and two equivalents of iodomethane gave 5,9-dimethyl-6,7,8,9-tetrahydro-5H-pyrimido[4,5-b][1,4]diazepine-6,8-dione ( 5 ) which on further methylation using sodium hydride and one equivalent iodomethane yielded 6,7,8,9-tetrahydro-5,7,9-trimethyl-5H-pyrimido[4,5-b][1,4]diazepine-6,8-dione ( 6 ). Reaction of 6,7,8,9-tetrahydro-5H-pyrirnido[4,5-b][1,4]diazepine-6,8-dione ( 4 ) with 4.2 equivalents of sodium hydride and 4.1 equivalents of iodomethane afforded 6,7,8,9-tetrahydro-5,7,7, 9-tetramethyl-5H-pyrimido[4,5-b][1,4]diazepine-6,8-dione ( 7 ). 6,7,8,9-Tetrahydro-5,7,7,9-tetramethyl-5H-pyrimido[4,5-b][1,4]diazepine-6,8-dione ( 7 ) exhibited weak anticonvulsant activities in the subcutaneous pentylenetetrazole and maximal electroshock anticonvulsant screens indicating it is a partial bioisostere of the anticonvulsant drug clobazam ( 2 ).     

6,7,8,9-Tetrahydrodipyrimido[4,5-b][4′,5′-e][1,4]thiazine derivatives. Synthesis and structure

The reaction of 5-amino-6-mercaptopyrimidines with 1,3-dimethyl-5-nitro-6-chlorouiracil in the presence of bases results in derivatives of 6,7,8,9-tetrahydrodipyrimido[4,5-b][4,5-e][1,4]-thiazine. If the 5-amino-6-mercaptopyrimdine contains a free or alkyl-substituted amino group at the 4-position, the tetrahydrodipyramidothiazines formed exist in a free radical form. The structure of the compounds formed has been established by spectral methods.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 2, pp. 258–264, February, 1989.

The reaction of 2,3-diamino-1,4-naphthoquinone with acetoacetic ester in toluene (with water separation) gave 2,5-dihydro-1H-4-methylnaphtho[2,3-b]-1,4-diazepine-2,6,11-trione, which adds a molecule of methanol to the C=C bond of the diazepine ring to give 2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-4-methyl-4-methoxynaphtho-[2,3-b]-1,4-diazepine-2,6,11-trione.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 1, pp. 121–123, January, 1979.     

Acid-base properties of 2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-naphtho[2,3-b]-1,4-diazepine-2,4,6, 11-tetraone

It is shown that 2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-naphtho[2,3-b]-1,4-diazepine-2,4,6,11-tetraone, which has acid properties, undergoes methylation to give an N,N-di-methyl derivative, whereas it gives products of substitution of the hydrogen atoms of the methylene group in its reactions with bromine and salicylaldehyde. Treatment of 2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-naphtho[2,3-b]-1,4-diazepine-2,4,6,11-tetrone with aqueous alkali or secondary aliphatic amines with heating is accompanied by opening of the diazepine ring to give hydrolysis (2-carboxyacetamido-3-hydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinones) or aminolysis (N-alkylaminomalonyl-2,3-diamino-1,4-naphthoquinones) products.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 8, pp. 1132–1136, August, 1978.     

3-acyl-1,5-benzodiazepines in the reactions of 5,5-dimethyl-2-formylcyclohexane-1,3-dione with certain 1,2-diaminobenzenes

Reaction of 5,5-dimethyl-2-formylcyclohexane-1,3-dione with 4-methyl-, 4-benzoyl-, and 4-nitro-1,2-diaminobenzenes gave the corresponding 2-(2-amino-4-methylphenylaminomethylene)-, 2-(2-amino-5-benzoylphenylaminomethylene)-, and 2-(2-amino-5-nitrophenylaminomethylene)-5,5-dimethylcyclohexane-1,3-diones. When treated with hydrochloric acid, they cyclize to 7-methyl-, 8-benzoyl-, and 8-nitro-3,3-dimethyl-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-dibenzo[b,e][1,4]diazepinon hydrochlorides. Under hydrolytic conditions the salts of 3,3,7-trimethyl-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-dibenzo[b,e][1,4]diazepinone and 3,3-dimethyl-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-dibenzo[b,e][1,4]diazepinone undergo the C₁₁−N₁₀ bond cleavage to give N-(2-aminophenyl)- and N-(2-amino-5-methylphenyl)-substituted 3-amino-2-formyl-5,5-dimethylcyclohex-2-enones. Ring opening of the hydrochlorides of 8-benzoyl-, and 3,3-dimethyl-8-nitro-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-dibenzo[b,e][1,4]diazepinones occurs at the C−N₅ bond and gives the starting enamines.

Reactions of ring-expanded xanthines containing the imidazo[4,5-e][1,4]diazepine ring system

4,5,7,8-Tetrahydro-6H-imidazo[4,5-e][1,4]diazepine-5,8-dione underwent bromination at the 2-position with or without substituents at the 3-, 4- or 7-position, using bromine, N-bromosuccinimide, or acetyl hypobro-mite. The activation of position 6 with an ester functionality, as in 7 , did not alter the site of bromination. The base-catalyzed bromination of the ring-open precursor, diethyl 2-[N-(1-benzyl-5-nitroimidazolyl-4-carbon-yl)amino]malonate ( 5 ), resulted either in introduction of an alkoxy functionality in the above aminomalonate side-chain, yielding 17 when the reaction was quenched with an alcohol, or in degradation of the side-chain, yielding 1-benzyl-5-nitroimidazole-4-carboxamide ( 19 ) when the reaction was quenched with water. Both 17 and 19 are formed by oxidative bromination of 5 via the bromo intermediate 15 . An indirect evidence for the latter was obtained by base-catalyzed methylation of 5 which gave diethyl 2-methyl-2-[N-(1-benzyl-5-nitroimid-azolyl-4-carbonyl)amino]malonate ( 21 ). The base-catalyzed bromination of 5 with N-bromosuccinimide gave rise to two products, the dimer 24a and the monomer 24b that contained the substituted 2,2-diaminomalon-ate side-chain. The structure of 24b was confirmed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses. Reduction of the 5-nitro group of 17 to the corresponding amino derivative 25 , followed by ring-closure with sodium meth-oxide/methanol, yielded three products, a 5:6-fused system 26 and two 5:7 fused systems 27 and 28 . The structures of 26 and 27 were confirmed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses. A tentative reaction pathway for the formation of all three products has been proposed. Hydrolysis of 27 with aqueous hydrochloric acid resulted in ring-opening to form 5-amino-1-benzylimidazole-4-carboxamide ( 40 ). A mechanism for the hydrolysis reaction has been proposed. Catalytic hydrogenation of 5 in acetic acid yielded the aminoimidazo-lone derivative 11 which upon ring-closure with sodium methoxide in methanol produced imidazo[4,5-e][1,4]-diazepine-2,5,8-trione ( 12 ).

2,6-Dithiodecahydro-1H,5H-Diimidazo[4,5,-b:4′,5′-e]Pyrazine and related dioxo- and diimino-decahydrodiimidazopyrazines

Thiourea condensed with 1,4-diformyl-2,3,5,6-tetrahydroxypiperazine 2 in the presence of hydrochloric acid to give 2,6-dithiodecahydro-1 H,5H-diimidazo[4,5,-b:4′,5′-e]pyrazine 5 isolated as the dihydrochloride salt. The salt 5 . 2HCl was converted to the free base 5 by lithium hydroxide, to the dinitrate salt 5 . 2HNO₃ by silver nitrate, degraded to 2-thio-2,3,4,7-tetrahydro-1 H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyrazine 6 in a reaction with tert-butyl amine, and converted to 4,8-dihydro-4,8-dinitro-1H,5H-diimidazo[4,5-b:4′,5′-e]pyrazine-2,6- disulfonic acid 9 by nitric acid (100%) at −40°C. Denitration of the dinitramine 9 to give 4,8-dihydro-1H,5H-diimidazo[4,5-b:4′,5′-e]pyrazine 11 was brought about by methanolic hydrogen chloride in ether. In one run nitration without oxidation converted the salt 5 · 2HCl to the dinitrate salt of the 4,8-dinitro derivative 10 ; treatment with triethyl amine liberated the free base 10 from the salt. Degradation of 2,6-dioxo-1,3,4,5,7,8-hexanitrodecahydro-1H,5H-diimidazo[4,5-b:4′,5′-e]pyrazine 12 to 2-oxo-2,3-dihydro-1,3-dinitro-1H-imidazo[4,5-b] pyrazine 13 was brought about by hydrochloric acid. Treatment with lithium hydroxide also liberated 2,6-dioxodecahydro-1H,5H-diimidazo [4,5-b:4′,5′-e]pyrazine 3 from its dihydrochloride salt. Attempts to liberate 2,6-diiminodecahydro-1H, 5H-diimidazo[4,5-b:4′,5′-e]pyrazine 4 from its tetrahydrochloride salt led instead to intractable mixtures. The tetrahydrochloride salt 4 · 4HCl was converted to the dihydrochloride salt 4 · 2HCl in a reaction with tert-butyl amine.
