Studies on quinazolinones. 2. Synthesis of 2-(4-benzylpiperazin-1-ylmethyl)-2,3-dihydro-5H-oxazolo[2,3–6]quinazolin-5-one and -2,3-dihydro-5H-thiazolo[2,3-b]quinazolin-5-one

To search for novel antihypertensive heterocycles in the condensed quinazoline series, two representative compounds were synthesized via a suitable reaction sequences. Treating anthranilonitrile with allyl isocyanate gave 2-(allylureido)benzonitrile ( 10 ) in a quantitative yield. Compound 10 was cyclized to 3-allylquinazoline-2(1H, 4(3H)-dione ( 11 ). Bromination of 11 in carbon tetrachloride converted it into the corresponding 3-(2,3-dibromopropyl) derivative ( 12 ) in 92% yield. Ring closure of 12 was effected by the action of alkali to afford 2-bromomethyl-2,3-dihydro-5H-oxazolo[2,3-b]quinazolin-5-one ( 13 ). The title compound, 2-(4-benzylpiperazin-1-ylmethyl)-2,3-dihydro-5H-oxazolo[2,3-b]quinazolin-5-one ( 7 ) could be obtained by a reaction of either 12 or 13 with 1-benzylpiperazine respectively. Starting from the readily available 3-allyl-2H-thioxoquinazolin-4(3H)-one ( 16 ) via the analogous reactions gave the 2-bromomethyl-2,3-dihydro-5H-thiazolo[2,3-b]-quinazolin-5-one ( 19 ) in good yield. However, the reaction of 19 with 1-benzylpiperazine provided another target compound, 2-(4-benzylpiperazin-1-ylmethyl)-2,3-dihydro-5H-thiazolo[2,3-b]quinazolin-5-one ( 8 ) only in poor yield (8%). As major product, the dehydrobrominated compound, 2-methylene-2,3-dihydro-5H-thiazolo[2,3-b]quinazolin-5-one ( 22 ) was isolated. A preliminary pharmacological evaluation revealed that both compounds 7 and 8 are devoid of the antihypertensive activity.

To determine the structures of two isomeric products, 2-phenacylidene-1,2-dihydro-4H-pyrido[2,3-b]pyrazin-3-one (2) and 3-phenacylidene-3,4-dihydro-1H-pyrido[2,3-b]pyrazin-2-one (3) obtained by condensation of 2,3-diaminopyridine (1) with ethyl benzoylpyruvate [1–3], these compounds were hydrolyzed to give 2-methyl-4H-pyrido[2,3-b]pyrazin-3-one (4) and 3-methyl-1H-pyrido[2,3-b]pyrazin-2-one (5) , respectively [4,5]. Both hydrolysates 4 and 5 were hydrogenated to afford 2-methyl-1,2-dihydro-4H-pyrido[2,3-b]pyrazin-3-one (6) and 3-methyl-3,4-dihydro-1H-pyrido[2,3-b]pyrazin-2-one (7) . The latter compound was identical with an unequivocally synthesized compound providing proof for the structures of all these compounds.

The reaction of methyl 2-bromo-6-(trifluoromethyl)-3-pyridinecarboxylate ( 1 ) with methanesulfonamide gave methyl 2-[(methylsulfonyl)amino]-6-(trifluoromethyl)-3-pyridine-carboxylate ( 2 ). Alkylation of compound 2 with methyl iodide followed by cyclization of the resulting methyl 2-[methyl(methylsulfonyl)amino]-6-(trifluoromethyl)-3-pyridinecarboxylate ( 3 ) yielded 1-methyl-7-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-pyrido[2,3-c][1,2]thiazin-4(3H)-one 2,2-dioxide ( 4 ). The reaction of compound 4 with α,2,4-trichlorotoluene, methyl bromopropionate, methyl iodide, 3-trifluoromethylphenyl isocyanate, phenyl isocyanate and 2,4-dichloro-5-(2-propynyloxy)phenyl isothiocyanate gave, respectively, 4-[(2,4-dichlorophenyl)methoxy]-1-methyl-7-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-pyrido[2,3-c][1,2]thiazine 2,2-dioxide ( 5 ), methyl 2-[[1-methyl-2,2-dioxido-7-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-pyrido[2,3-c][1,2]thiazin-4-yl]oxy]propanoate ( 6 ), 1,3,3-trimethyl-7-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-pyrido[2,3-c][1,2]thiazin-4(3H)-one 2,2-dioxide ( 7 ), 4-hydroxy-1-methyl-7-(trifluoromethyl)-N-[3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-1H-pyrido[2,3-c][1,2]thiazine-3-carboxamide 2,2-dioxide ( 8 ), 4-hydroxy-1-methyl-7-(trifluoromethyl)-N-phenyl-1H-pyrido[2,3-c][1,2]thiazine-3-carboxamide 2,2-dioxide ( 9 ) and N-[2,4-dichloro-5-(2-propynyloxy)phenyl]-4-hydroxy-1-methyl-7-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-pyrido[2,3-c][1,2] thiazine-3-carboxamide 2,2-dioxide ( 10 ).

2,3-Dihydro-5H-oxazolo[2,3-b]quinazolin-5-one 5a was synthesized from anthranilamide 1 and 2-chloro-ethyl isocyanate either by a direct reflux in methanol, or by stirring at room temperature in acetonitrile leading to the intermediate, 2-(2-chloroethyl ureido)benzamide 6a which was subsequently cyclized on heating with an organic base. However, when compound 6a was refluxed with concentrated hydrochloric acid, it furnished 3-(2-chloroethyl)-2,4-dioxo-1H,3H-quinazoline 2a in good yields. 3,4-Dihydro-2H,6.H-[1,3]-oxazino[2,3-b]quinazolin-6-one 5b , 3-(3-chloropropyl)-2,4-dioxo-1H,3.H-quinazoline 2b and 2-(3-chloropropyl ureido)benzamide 6b were obtained similarly from 1 and 3-chloropropyl isocyanate.
