Synthesis,anticancer and antiviral activities of novel thiopyrano[2,3-d]thiazole-6-carbaldehydes

Novel rel-(6R,7R)-2-oxo-7-phenyl-3,5,6,7-tetrahydro-2H-thiopyrano[2,3-d]thiazole-6-carbaldehydes were synthesized via regio- and diastereoselective hetero-Diels-Alder reaction of 5-arylidene-4-thioxo-2-thiazolidinones with acrolein. The synthesized compounds were evaluated for anticancer and antiviral activities by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) following US NCI and AACF protocols.

On the other hand, we found that TMSOTf-mediated reactions of 1-cyclopropyl-2-arylethanones 1 with ethyl 2-oxoacetate 4 could also provide the corresponding spiro-γ-lactone derivatives 5 in moderate yields along with another spiro-γ-lactone derivatives 6 derived from the reaction of 1 with two molecules of ethyl 2-oxoacetate. The plausible reaction mechanisms have also been provided on the basis of control experiments.

Catalytic enantioselective intermolecular reductive aldol reaction to ketones

We describe the first example of a catalytic enantioselective intermolecular reductive aldol reaction. Three types of reactions were studied: (1) reactions between acetophenone and methyl acrylate; (2) reactions between symmetric ketones and β-substituted α,β-unsaturated esters; and (3) reactions between acetophenone derivatives and an allenic ester. Although only moderate enantioselectivity was obtained in the first reaction type, high to excellent enantioselectivity was realized in the enantio-induction at the α-position in the second reaction type and at the δ-position in the third reaction type. Specifically, the third reaction type afforded the corresponding tertiary alcohols with up to 99% ee. Pre-activation of the nucleophile by silyl enolate formation is not necessary in these one-pot catalytic enantioselective reductive aldol reactions.

Abstract

8-Methoxy-4-phenyl-3,4,5,6-tetrahydrobenzo[h]quinazoline-2(1H)-thione, obtained by the condensation of 2-benzylidene-6-methoxy-3,4-dihydronapthalene-1(2H)-one with thiourea, on reaction with chloroacetic acid and 3-chloropropanoic acid in the presence of the ionic liquid N-methylpyridinium tosylate furnishes 3-methoxy-7-phenyl-7,10-dihydro-5H- benzo[h]thiazolo[2,3-b]quinazoline-9(6H)-one and 3-methoxy-7-phenyl-5,6,10,11-tetrahydro- benzo[h][1,3]thiazino[2,3-b]quinazoline-9(7H)-one. Further, condensation of the thione with 1,2-dibromoethane and 1,3-dibromopropane yields 3-methoxy-7-phenyl-6,7,9,10-tetrahydro-5 H-benzo[h]thiazolo[2,3-b]quinazoline and 3-methoxy-7-phenyl-5,6,7,9,10,11-hexahydrobenzo [h][1,3]thiazino[2,3-b]quinazoline respectively.

Synthesis and Transformations of 5-Substituted 2-Aryl-7H-[1,2,4]triazolo[3,2-b][1,3]thiazin-7-ones and 2-Aryl-2,3-dihydro-4H-[1,3]thiazino[3,2-a]benzimidazol-4-ones

3-Aryl-1,2,4-triazole-5-thiones react with dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate and methyl 3-phenyl-propynoate to afford the corresponding 5-substituted 2-aryl-7H-[1,2,4]triazolo[3,2-b][1,3]thiazin-7-ones.

Carbanion-induced base-catalyzed synthesis of 1H-isothiochromenes, benzo[c]thiochromenes through ring-transformation reactions of 6-aryl-2H-pyran-2-ones

An innovative approach to the one-pot synthesis of highly functionalized 3,4-dihydro-1H-isothiochromenes (3), 6H-benzo[c]thiochromenes (5, 6), 6H-benzo[c]chromenes (8), and 2,3-dihydro-1-benzothiophenes (10, 11) is delineated from the reaction of a suitably functionalized 6-aryl-3-carbomethoxy-4-methylthio-2H-pyran-2-one (1) and a carbanion generated from tetrahydrothiopyran-4-one, 4-thiochromanone, 4-chromanone, and tetrahydrothiophene-3-one through ring-transformation reactions.     

NaOH-catalyzed thiolysis of alpha,beta-epoxyketones in water. A key step in the synthesis of target molecules starting from alpha,beta-unsaturated ketones

NaOH (0.02-0.3 molar equiv) is an efficient catalyst for the thiolysis reactions of alpha,beta-epoxy ketones with alkyl and aryl thiols in water. Thiolysis of 3,4-epoxyheptan-2-one (1) with thiols 2a-d has been accomplished in mild conditions (30 degrees C and pH 6 or 9) with complete C-alpha-regioselectivity and anti-stereoselectivity, and the corresponding anti-beta-carbonyl-beta-hydroxysulfides 3a-d have been prepared in excellent yields (95-98%). Compounds 3a-d, depending on their nature and pH conditions, have undergone dehydration, C-3 epimerization reaction, and retroaldol condensation. Dehydration of anti-3a-d has been chemoselectively carried out by in situ acidic treatment at 70 degrees C, giving stereoselectively the related (Z)-vinyl sulfides 4 in 89-94% overall yields. Under NaOH-catalyzed thiolysis conditions, cyclic alpha,beta-epoxyketones 6-9 have shown C-alpha attack only and spontaneously dehydrated to furnish the corresponding vinyl sulfides in high yields (90-96%). The reactions of calchone oxide (10) with thiols 2b-d have exclusively resulted in the formation of beta-carbonylsulfides 10b-d (82-93% yield), coming from the nucleophilic attack at the alpha-position and retroaldol condensation. To highlight the synthetic utility of this procedure, one-pot multisteps preparation of vinyl sulfides 7b and 7c, vinyl sulfoxides 12 and 13, and 1,5,6,7-tetrahydro-4H-1,2,3-benzotriazol-4-one (14) starting from 2-cyclohexen-1-one (11) have also been reported.     

Reaction of sulfene and dichloroketene with N,N-disubstituted 5-aminomethylene-1,5,6,7-tetrahydro-2-methyl-1-phenylindol-4-ones. Synthesis of 1,2-oxathiino[6,5-E] indole and of pyrano[2,3-e] indole derivatives

The 1,4-cycloaddition of sulfene to N,N-disubstituted 5-aminomethylene-1,5,6,7-tetrahydro-2-methyl-1-phenylindol-4-ones afforded N,N-disubstituted 3,4,5,6-tetrahydro-8-methyl-7-phenyl-7H-1,2-oxathiino[6,5-e]indol-4-amine 2,2-dioxides only in the case of aliphatic N-substitution. The 1,4-cycloaddition of dichloroketene occurred normally only in the case of 1,5,6,7-tetrahydro-2-methyl-1-phenyl-5-piperidinomethyleneindol-4-one to give 3,3-dichloro-3,4,5,6-tetrahydro-8-methyl-7-phenyl-4-piperidino-7H-pyrano[2,3-e]indol-4-one. Attempted recrystallisation, dehydro-chlorination or treatment with palladium on carbon of this adduct, as well as reaction of similar enaminoketones with dichloroketene, gave instead the same product, namely 3-chloro-8-methyl-7-phenyl-7H-pyrano[2,3-e]indol-4-one, as a result of dehydrochlorination, dehydrogenation and subsequent hydrogenolysis of the C-NR₂ bond in the primary adduct.     

CAN-promoted, diastereoselective synthesis of fused 2,3-dihydrofurans and their transformation into tetrahydroindoles

The reaction between 1,3-cyclohexanediones and chalcones (or their vinilogs) in the presence of 2.5 equiv of cerium(IV) ammonium nitrate afforded trans-2-arylcarbonyl-3-aryl (or styryl)-2,3,6,7-tetrahydrobenzofuran-4(5H)-ones in good to excellent yields and in high diastereoselectivities. The method was also extended to the preparation of derivatives of the 5,6-dihydro-2H-cyclopenta[b]furan-4(3H)-one system. The fused 2,3-dihydrofuran derivatives were transformed into 1-alkyl-2-acyl-3-aryl-6,7-dihydroindole-4(5H)-ones by 2,3-dehydrogenation followed by reaction with primary amines. The direct reaction of the tetrahydrobenzofuran-4(5H)-one compounds derived from dimedone with amines gave 1-alkyl-2-alkylimino-3-aryl-6,7-dihydroindole-4(5H)-ones, while starting materials derived from 1,3-cyclohexanedione underwent an unprecedented 2-deacylation reaction and gave 1-alkyl-3-aryl-6,7-dihydroindole-4(5H)-ones.
