Synthesis of condensed quinoxalines

A novel efficient synthesis of fluorescent, fused quinoxalines was achieved. 6-Triazolylthiazolo[4,5-b]quinoxalines were synthesized by the diazotisation of 6-amino-2-methylthiazolo[4,5-b]quinoxaline and coupling with selected aromatic amines followed by air oxidation. Diazotised aryl amines were coupled with 6-amino-2-methylthiazolo[4,5-d]quinoxaline followed by subsequent air oxidation afforded 1,2,3-triazolo[5,4-f]quinoxalino[2,3-d]thiazoles. 6-Amino-2-methylthiazolo[4,5-b]quinoxaline was condensed with conjugated enol ethers followed by cyclization in dowtherm resulted in thiazolo[4,5-b]quinoxalino[6,5-b]pyridine.     

New process for the synthesis of imidazo[4,5-b]pyridine derivatives as potent orally active thromboxane a2 receptor antagonists

A new synthetic route to prepare the 4-[3-(4-chlorophenyl)methyl-6-chloroimidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-2-yl]-3,3-dimethylbutanoic acid (UP 116-77) is described. UP 116-77 is a potent orally active TXA₂/PGH₂ receptor antagonist currently under pharmacological investigation. Its development needed a suitable synthesis for industrial processing. The cyclization of 3-amino-5-chloro-2-(4-chlorophenyl)methylaminopyridine 4 with 3,3-dimethylglutaric anhydride in refluxing acetic acid affords a new efficient and simple way to UP 116-77 and subsequently to various 2-substituted imidazo[4,5-b]pyridine derivatives.

About the synthesis of [1,2]diazepinoindole derivatives from ethyl 2-(1-methylindole)acetate, 2-indole and 3-indoleacetohydrazones

The Vilsmeier-Haack reaction with ethyl 2-(1-methylindole)acetate and N,N-Dimethylamides/phosphorus oxychloride gave (65–85%) of ethyl 2-(3-acyl-1-methylindole)acetates 2 , which when boiled with hydrazine yielded about 90% of 4,5-dihydro-6-methyl-4-oxo-3H[1,2]diazepino[5,6-b]indoles 3. The attempted cyclization of 2-(1-methylindole)acetohydrazones 6 with acyl (acetyl and benzoyl) chlorides/triethylamine, to [1,2]diazepino[5,6-b]indole derivatives was fruitless and the bis(acyl)hydrazones 9 were obtained. Several transformations of 9 are reported. Similarly, the attempted cyclization of 3-indoleacetohydrazones 14 with acetyl chloride/triethylamine to [1,2]diazepino[4,5-b]indole derivatives was also fruitless and the bis(acyl)hydrazones 16 were again obtained.

Treating this last compound with phosphorus oxychloride or phosphorus pentasulfide, followed by hydrazine, gave 1-hydrazino-1,2,4-triazino-[4,5-a]indole (9) . Acylation of this last compound, followed of cyclization gave compounds 10 . All the compounds were characterized by elemental analysis and ir and ¹H-nmr spectra.

Cyclization of V with aqueous formaldehyde led to the pyrimido[3,4,5-lm]pyrido[3,4-b]indoles VI . Analogously, cyclization with formaldehyde, acetone or 1,1′-carbonyldiimidazole of the 3-aminomethyl- 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-β-carbolines VIII , obtained by reaction of 3-methoxycarbonyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-β-carboline VII with amines followed by lithium aluminium hydride reduction of the resulting amides, gave the imidazo[1′,5′-1,6]pyrido[3,4-b]indoles IX and X . Dieckmann cyclization of 3-methoxycarbonyl-2-[(3-ethoxycarbonyl)-1-propyl]-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-β-carboline XI led to a 1:1 mixture of the β-ketoesters XII and XIII , which underwent deethoxycarbonylation to 5,6,8,9,10,11,11a,12-octahydroindolo[3,2-b]quinolizin-11-one XIV . Finally, the polyphosphoric acid (or esters) catalyzed cyclization of the N-acyl derivatives XVI of 3-hydrazinocarbonyl-β-carboline XV led smoothly to the 3-(1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-yl)-β-carbolines XVII .

The newly synthesized 3-(3-amino-5-(phenylamino)-4-(phenylcarbamoyl)thiophen-2-yl)-3-oxopropanoate was utilized as a precursor for the synthesis of pyrazolyl-thiophene derivative, which undergoes cyclization upon treatment with benzaldehyde derivatives to provide pyrazolo[3,4-d]thieno[3,2-b]pyridines. Basic treatment of pyrazolyl-thiophene derivative with phenyl isothiocyanate followed by subsequent addition of chloroacetone and/or ethyl bromoacetate yielded the thiazolylidene-pyrazolyl thiophenes. In addition, the building block 3-(3-amino-5-(phenylamino)-4-(phenylcarbamoyl)thiophen-2-yl)-3-oxopropanoate was converted into the corresponding thieno[3,2-b]pyridine compounds through its reactions with (DMF-DMA) and/or heating in sodium ethoxide. Moreover, the reaction of 7-hydroxy-5-oxo-N-phenyl-2-(phenylamino)-4,5-dihydrothieno[3,2-b]pyridine-3-carboxamide with 2-arylidenemalononitrile produced the new annulated pyrano[2,3-d]thieno[3,2-b]pyridines. The prepared thiophene-based compounds were evaluated against HepG2, PC3, and MCF-7 cancer cells, and normal fibroblast cell (WI38).
