The synthesis of new pyrido[3′,2′:5,6]thiopyrano[3,2‐b]indol‐5(6H)‐ones was accomplished by the Fischer‐indole cyclization of some 2,3‐dihydro‐3‐phenylhydrazonothiopyrano[2,3‐b]pyridin‐4(4H)‐ones, obtained from the 2,3‐dihydro‐3‐hydroxymethylenethiopyrano[2,3‐b]pyridin‐4(4H)‐one, by the Japp‐Klingemann reaction. 6H‐Pyrido[3′,2′:5,6]thiopyrano[4,3‐b]quinolines were obtained by reaction of 2,3‐dihydrothiopyrano‐[2,3‐b]pyridin‐4(4H)‐ones with o‐aminobenzaldehyde or 5‐substituted isatins. The preparation of some derivatives, functionalized with an alkylamino‐substituted side chain, is also described.

A series of new 2‐substituted 3‐(4‐chlorophenyl)‐5,8,9‐trimethylthieno[3′,2′: 5,6]pyrido[4,3‐d]pyrimidin‐4(3H)‐ones 8 were synthesized via an aza‐Wittig reaction. Phosphoranylideneamino derivatives 6a or 6b reacted with 4‐chlorophenyl isocyanate to give carbodiimide derivatives 7a or 7b , respectively, which were further treated with amines or phenols to give compounds 8 in the presence of a catalytic amount of EtONa or K₂CO₃. The structure of 2‐(4‐chlorophenoxy)‐3‐(4‐chlorophenyl)‐5,8,9‐trimethylthieno[3′,2′: 5,6]pyrido[4,3‐d]pyrimidin‐4(3H)‐one ( 8j ) was comfirmed by X‐ray analysis.     

Synthesis of novel 1,4‐dihydropyrido[3′,2′:5,6]thiopyrano[4,3‐c]‐pyrazoles and 5H‐pyrido[3′,2′:5,6]thiopyrano[4,3‐d]pyrimidines as potential antiproliferative agents

The synthesis of new planar derivatives characterized by the presence of a pyridothiopyranopyrazole or pyridothiopyranopyrimidine nucleus, carrying a substituted aryl group, is reported. The novel 1,4‐dihydropyrido[3′,2′:5,6]thiopyrano[4,3‐c]pyrazole derivatives were obtained by condensation of 2,3‐dihydro‐3‐hydroxymethylenethiopyrano[2,3‐b]pyridin‐4(4H)‐ones with appropriate hydrazines. The preparation of 2‐substituted pyrido[3′,2′:5,6]thiopyrano[4,3‐d]pyrimidines was accomplished from the intermediate 2,3‐dihy‐dro‐3‐dimethylaminomethylenethiopyrano[2,3‐b]pyridin‐4(4H)‐ones by reaction with the appropriate binucleophile amidines. The antiproliferative activity of some new products was tested by an in vitro assay on human tumour cell lines (HL‐60 and HeLa), but none of them showed any significant effects in the tests performed. Accordingly, linear flow dichroism measurements indicated their inability to form a molecular complex with DNA.

Single crystal X‐ray diffraction studies of 3a,b add support for the established structure. Similarly, 3′,5′‐diaryl‐2,2‐dimethyl‐3′H,4H‐spiro[chromene‐3,2′‐[1,3,4]thiadiazol]‐4‐ones 5a‐c were obtained in a regioselective manner through the reaction of 2,2,5′,5′‐tetramethyl‐4H,5′H‐spiro[chromene‐3,2′‐[1,3,4]oxadithiino[5,6‐c]chromen]‐4‐one ( 4a ) with nitrilimines under similar reaction conditions. On the other hand, reaction of 2,5′‐diethyl‐2,5′‐dimethyl‐4H,5′H‐spiro[chromene‐3,2′‐[1,3,4]oxadithiino‐[5,6‐c]chromen]‐4‐one ( 4b ) with nitrilimines in refluxing dry toluene afforded the corresponding 3′,5′‐diaryl‐2‐ethyl‐2‐methyl‐3′H,4H‐spiro[chromene‐3,2′‐[1,3,4]thiadiazol]‐4‐ones 5d‐f as two unisolable diastereoisomeric forms.

One pot green synthesis of 1‐(1,2,4‐triazol‐4‐yl)spiro[azetidine‐2,3′‐(3H)‐indole]‐2′,4′(1′H)‐diones was carried out by the reaction of indole‐2,3‐diones,4‐amino‐4H‐1,2,4‐triazole and acetyl chloride/chloroacetyl chloride in ionic liquid [bmim]PF₆ with/without using a catalyst. It was also prepared by conventional method via Schiff's bases, 3‐[4H‐1,2,4‐triazol‐4‐yl]imino‐indol‐2‐one. Further, the corresponding phenoxy derivatives were obtained by the reaction of chloro group attached to azetidine ring with phenols. The synthesized compounds were characterized by analytical and spectral (IR, ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, and FAB mass) data. Evaluation for insecticidal activity against Periplaneta americana exhibited promising results.

The advantages of this reaction are simple operation, mild‐reaction conditions, wide scope substrate, high yields, and friendly environment. The products were confirmed by IR, ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, and HRMS.     

A Novel,One‐Pot Four‐Component Route to 2′‐Thioxo‐2′,3′‐dihydrospiro[indole‐3,6′‐[1,3]thiazin]‐2‐one Derivatives

An efficient route to 2′,3′‐dihydro‐2′‐thioxospiro[indole‐3,6′‐[1,3]thiazin]‐2(1H)‐one derivatives is described. It involves the reaction of isatine, 1‐phenyl‐2‐(1,1,1‐triphenyl‐λ⁵‐phosphanylidene)ethan‐1‐one, and different amines in the presence of CS₂ in dry MeOH at reflux (Scheme 1). The alkyl carbamodithioate, which results from the addition of the amine to CS₂, is added to the α,β‐unsaturated ketone, resulting from the reaction between 1‐phenyl‐2‐(1,1,1‐triphenyl‐λ⁵‐phosphanylidene)ethan‐1‐one and isatine, to produce the 3′‐alkyl‐2′,3′‐dihydro‐4′‐phenyl‐2′‐thioxospiro[indole‐3,6′‐[1,3]thiazin]‐2(1H)‐one derivatives in excellent yields (Scheme 2). Their structures were corroborated spectroscopically (IR, ¹H‐ and ¹³C‐NMR, and EI‐MS) and by elemental analyses.

Previously unknown 3′‐R¹‐5‐R²‐spiro[indoline‐3,6′‐[1,2,4]triazino[2,3‐c]quinazoline]‐2,2′‐(7′H)‐diones and their N‐substituted analogues were obtained via reaction of 6‐R¹‐3‐(2‐aminophenyl)‐1,2,4‐triazin‐5‐ones with isatin and its substituted derivatives. It was shown that alkylation of 3′‐R¹‐5‐R²‐spiro[indoline‐3,6′‐[1,2,4]triazino[2,3‐c]quinazolin]‐2,2′‐(7′H)‐diones by N‐R³‐chloroacetamides or chloroacetonitrile in the presence of а base proceeds by N‐1 atom of isatin fragment. The spectral properties (¹H and ¹³C NMR spectra) of synthesized compounds were studied, and features of spectral patterns were discussed. The high‐effective anticonvulsant and radical scavenging agents among 3′‐R¹‐5‐R²‐spiro[indoline‐3,6′‐[1,2,4]triazino[2,3‐c]quinazolin]‐2,2′(7′H)‐diones and their N‐substituted derivatives were detected. It was shown that compounds 2.2 , 2.8 , and 3.1 exceed or compete the activity of the most widely used in modern neurology drug—lamotrigine on the pentylenetetrazole‐induced seizures model. The aforementioned fact may be considered as a reason for further profound study of synthesized compounds using other pathology models.     

Three‐Component Reaction for Construction of Spiro[indoline‐3,7′‐thiazolo[3,2‐a]pyridines] and Spiro[benzo[4,5]thiazolo[3,2‐a]pyridine‐3,3′‐indolines]

A series of 3,4‐dihydropyrido[2′,3′:3,4]pyrazolo[1,5‐a][1,3,5]triazin‐2‐amines was synthesized from 1H‐pyrazolo[3,4‐b]pyridin‐3‐ylguanidine using aldehydes or ketones as one‐carbon inserting reagents.

Oxidation of some derivatives of 4b,9b–dihydroxyindeno[1,2‐b]benzofuran‐10‐one have been investigated in detail using lead(IV) acetate in acetic acid under reflux conditions and periodic acid in aqueous ethanol at room temperature. We realized that during the first 5–15 minutes of the oxidation reactions in lead(IV) acetate/acetic acid system, 3H,3’H‐spiro[benzofuran‐2,1′‐isobenzofuran]‐3,3′‐dione derivatives have been synthesized chemo selectively, while, if the reaction mixtures stirred for additional 3 hours, the main products would be 2‐(2‐(Methoxycarbonyl)‐3‐oxo‐2,3‐dihydrobenzofuran‐2‐yl)benzoic acids. Moreover, room temperature oxidation of 4b,9b–dihydroxyindeno[1,2‐b]benzofuran‐10‐ones by periodic acid (H₅IO₆), leads to the formation of 3H,3’H‐spiro[benzofuran‐2,1′‐isobenzofuran]‐3,3′‐dione derivatives in good to excellent yields.

These pyrazole derivatives on diazotization followed by replacement with hydroxy, chloro, bromo, iodo and on reduction gave the corresponding 3‐substituted derivatives.
