Synthesis,crystal structure and activity evaluation of novel 3,4‐dihydro‐1‐benzoxepin‐5(2H)‐one derivatives as protein–tyrosine kinase (PTK) inhibitors

Four new 3,4‐dihydro‐1‐benzoxepin‐5(2H )‐one derivatives, namely (E )‐4‐(5‐bromo‐2‐hydroxybenzylidene)‐6,8‐dimethoxy‐3,4‐dihydrobenzo[b ]oxepin‐5(2H )‐one, ( 7 ), (E )‐4‐[(E )‐3‐(5‐bromo‐2‐hydroxyphenyl)allylidene]‐6,8‐dimethoxy‐3,4‐dihydrobenzo[b ]oxepin‐5(2H )‐one, ( 8 ), (E )‐4‐(5‐bromo‐2‐hydroxybenzylidene)‐6‐hydroxy‐8‐methoxy‐3,4‐dihydrobenzo[b ]oxepin‐5(2H )‐one, C₁₈H₁₅BrO₅, ( 9 ), and (E )‐4‐[(E )‐3‐(5‐bromo‐2‐hydroxyphenyl)allylidene]‐6‐hydroxy‐8‐methoxy‐3,4‐dihydrobenzo[b ]oxepin‐5(2H )‐one, ( 10 ), have been synthesized and characterized by FT–IR, NMR and MS. The structure of ( 9 ) was confirmed by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction. Crystal structure analysis shows that molecules of ( 9 ) are connected into a one‐dimensional chain in the [010] direction through classical hydrogen bonds and these chains are further extended into a three‐dimensional network via C—H…O interactions. The inhibitory activities of these compounds against protein–tyrosine kinases (PTKs) show that 6‐hydroxy‐substituted compounds ( 9 ) and ( 10 ) are more effective for inhibiting ErbB1 and ErbB2 than are 6‐methoxy‐substituted compounds ( 7 ) and ( 8 ). This may be because ( 9 ) and ( 10 ) could effectively bind to the active pockets of the protein through intermolecular interactions.     

One‐Pot Synthesis of 4‐Substituted 3,4‐Dihydro‐3‐methoxyisocoumarins via Carboxylation of α‐Substituted 2‐Lithio‐β‐methoxystyrenes with Carbon Dioxide

A new type of isocoumarins (=1H‐isochromen‐1‐ones=1H‐2‐benzopyran‐1‐ones), 4‐substituted 3,4‐dihydro‐3‐methoxyisocoumarins 2 , can be obtained by a one‐pot process from α‐substituted 2‐bromo‐β‐methoxystyrenes 1 . Thus, lithium 2‐(1‐aryl(or methyl)‐2‐methoxyethenyl)benzoates are conveniently generated via the Br/Li exchange between 1 and BuLi, followed by the action of CO₂ on the resulting α‐substituted 2‐lithio‐β‐methoxystyrenes. Upon treating with concentrated HCl at room temperature, these lithium benzoates undergo lactonization to provide the desired 3,4‐dihydroisocoumarins 2 in relatively good yields.

4‐Methyl acetanilide ( 1 ) on treatment with bromine in acetic acid, followed by hydrolysis with dilute HCl/NaOH solution, yielded 2‐bromo‐4‐methyl aniline ( 2 ), which on treatment with sodium thiocyanate in acetic acid afforded 2‐amino‐4‐bromo‐6‐methyl benzothiazole ( 3 ). Compound 3 in ethylene glycol was heated at 150°C with 80% hydrazine hydrate to get 4‐bromo‐2‐hydrazino‐6‐methyl benzothiazole ( 4 ). This hydrazino compound 4 on heating with formic acid for 3 h yielded 4‐bromo‐2‐hydrazinoformyl‐6‐methyl benzothiazole ( 5 ). Same compound 4 when heated independently with formic acid for 6 h/urea for 3 h/carbon disulfide in alkali afforded 5‐bromo‐7‐methyl ( 6 )/5‐bromo‐3‐hydroxy‐7‐methyl ( 7 )/5‐bromo‐3‐mercapto‐7‐methyl ( 8 )‐1,2,4‐triazolo‐[3,4‐b]‐benzothiazoles, respectively. Compound 4 on heating with acetic acid/acetic anhydride gave acetyl benzothiazolyl derivative 9 , which on cyclization with orthophosphoric acid yielded 5‐bromo‐3,7‐dimethyl‐1,2,4‐triazolo‐[3,4‐b]‐benzothiazole ( 10 ). All these newly synthesized compounds were screened for antimicrobial activity against Escherichia coli (Gram ?ve), Bacillus subtilis (Gram +ve), Erwinia carotovora, and Xanthomonas citri using ampicillin, streptomycin, and penicillin as a standard for comparison.     

A Facile Synthesis of 1‐Substituted 3‐Alkoxy‐1H‐isoindoles Based on the Reaction of 2‐(Dialkoxymethyl)phenyllithiums with Nitriles,Followed by Acid‐Catalyzed Cyclization

A two‐step synthesis of 1‐substituted 3‐alkoxy‐1H‐isoindoles 4 has been developed. Thus, the reaction of 2‐(dialkoxymethyl)phenyllithium compounds, which are easily generated in situ by Br/Li exchange between 1‐bromo‐2‐(dialkoxymethyl)benzenes 1 and BuLi in THF at ?78°, with nitriles afforded [2‐(dialkoxymethyl)phenyl]methanimines 2 , which were treated with a catalytic amount of TsOH?H₂O in refluxing CHCl₃ to give the desired products in reasonable yields.

Some inimitable and therapeutic coumarin‐substituted fused[1,2,4]triazolo‐[3,4‐b][1,3,4]thiadizole derivatives were synthesized by the cyclocondensation reaction of 2‐oxo‐2H‐chromene‐3‐carboxylic acid ( 1 ) and 4‐amino‐5‐hydrazinyl‐4H‐[1,2,4]‐triazole‐3‐thiol ( 2 ) by using phosphorous oxychloride as a cyclizing agent. This cyclized intermediate 3‐(3‐hydrazino‐[1,2,4]triazolo[3,4‐b][1,3,4]thiadiazol‐6‐yl)‐chromen‐2‐one ( 3 ) later condensation with various ethyl 2‐(2‐arylhydrazono)‐3‐oxobutanoates ( 4 ) in NaOAc/MeOH under reflux conditions afforded the corresponding new series of aryl‐substituted hydrazono‐pyrazolyl‐[1,2,4]triazolo[3,4‐b][1,3,4][thiadiazol]‐coumarin derivatives ( 5 ) in good to excellent yields. The structures of newly synthesized compounds were established on the basis of elemental analysis, IR, ¹H NMR and mass spectroscopic studies.

The structures of the compounds synthesized were determined by elemental analyses, IR, ¹H NMR and MS spectra. Their spectral properties and the reaction mechanism were also discussed. The preliminary biological test showed that some of compounds bad moderate antibacterial activities.

A convenient synthis for 4‐substituted and 3,4‐disubstituted 1,7‐naphthyridine‐2(1H)‐thiones 7 has been developed. The method is based on the electrocyclic reaction of 4‐(1‐arylalk‐1‐enyl)‐3‐isothiocyanatopyridines 6 , generated in situ by the treatment of the respective isocyanides 5 with S₈ in the presence of a catalytic amount of selenium. The isocyanides 5 can be easily prepared from commercially available pyridin‐3‐amine by conventional organic reactions.     

A Simple Multistep Conversion of 1,2‐Dihydro‐1,1‐dimethoxynaphthalen‐2‐ones to (3,4‐Dihydro‐3,4‐dioxonaphthalen‐2‐yl)acetates

On irradiation (λ=350 nm) in the presence of 1,1‐dimethoxyethene, naphthalene‐1,2‐dionemonoacetals 1 regioselectively afford 1,1,4,4‐tetramethoxycyclobuta[a]naphthalen‐3‐ones 3 . Sequential deprotection of these bis‐acetals first lead to 1,1‐dimethoxycyclobuta[a]naphthalene‐3,4‐diones 4 and then to cyclobuta[a]naphthalene‐1,3,4‐triones 6 , which, in turn, are converted into (3,4‐dihydro‐3,4‐dioxonaphthalen‐2‐yl)acetates 7 by treatment with SiO₂/MeOH/air.

Regioselective grignard metathesis reaction of 2,5‐dibromo‐3‐(6′‐hexylpyridine‐2′‐yl)thiophene and kumada coupling polymerization

2,5‐Dibromo‐3‐(6′‐hexylpyridine‐2′‐yl)thiophene ( DBPyTh ) was synthesized by the Suzuki coupling reaction between two aromatic compounds followed by the bromination. The Grignard metathesis reaction of DBPyTh with isopropylmagnesium chloride proceeded in 85% conversion and the regioselective halogen–metal exchange at the 2‐position was confirmed. Namely, 5‐bromo‐2‐chloromagnesio‐3‐(6′‐hexylpyridine‐2′‐yl)thiophene and 2‐bromo‐5‐chloromagnesio‐3‐(6′‐hexylpyridine‐2′‐yl)thiophene were generated in 90:10 molar ratio. Subsequently, the Kumada coupling polymerization was carried out using 1,3‐bis(diphenylphosphinopropane)nickel(II) dichloride to obtain poly(3‐(6′‐hexylpyridine‐2′‐yl)thiophene) ( PolyPyTh ). The polymer molecular weight could be roughly controlled by the catalyst concentration and the molecular weight distribution ranged from 1.25 to 1.80. The gas chromatograph analysis indicated that 5‐bromo‐2‐chloromagnesio‐3‐(6′‐hexylpyridine‐2′‐yl)thiophene was preferentially polymerized in 90% conversion and the percentage of the head‐to‐tail content (regioregularity) was calculated to be 96%. The matrix‐assisted laser desorption/ionization time‐of‐fright mass spectrum indicated that both polymer chain ends were substituted with the hydrogen atom. The absorption maxima of polymer in CHCl₃ and thin film were observed at 447 and 457 nm, respectively, which were blue‐shifted compared with poly(3‐(4′‐octylphenyl)thiophene). From the CV measurement of the polymer thin film, highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) (?5.31 eV) and lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) (?3.76 eV) energy levels were calculated from the oxidation and reduction onset potentials, respectively, and the electrochemical band gap energy was determined to be 1.62 eV. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
