Synthesis of 1-methyl-7-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-pyrido[2,3-c][1,2]thiazin-4(3H)-one 2,2-dioxide

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 ).     

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.     

Reactions of 5-[3-(trifluoromethyl)-phenyl]furan-2-carbaldehyde

The Knoevenagel condensations of 5-[3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]furan-2-carbaldehyde with seven compounds containing an active methyl or methylene group have been studied. The compounds used were: methyl 2-cyanoacetate, malononitrile, 2-furylacetonitrile, acetophenone, 2-thioxo-1,3-thiazolidin-4-one (rhodanine), 5,5-dimethylcyclohexane-1,3-dione (dimedone), and methyl 2-azidoacetate. The effect of microwave irradiation on the condensation reactions was studied and compared with “’classical”’ conditions. Thermolysis of methyl 2-azido-3-{5-[3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-2-furyl}propenoate afforded methyl 2-[3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)]-4H-furo[3,2-b]pyrrole-5-carboxylate. (2E)-3-{ 5-[3-(Trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-2-furyl}propenoic acid was converted to the corresponding azide, which was cyclized on heating into 2-[3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)]-4,5-dihydrofuro[3,2-c]pyridin-4-one. The latter after successive action of POCl₃ and NH₂NH₂-Pd/C gave 2-[3-(trifluoromethyl)-phenyl]furo[3,2-c]pyridine.

Five-Membered 2,3-dioxoheterocycles: XCV. Recyclization of 4-benzoyl-5-phenylfuran-2,3-dione at the action of substituted 1,3,3-trimethyl-2-azaspiro[4.5]dec-1-enes. Crystal and molecular structure of substituted 5-(2-azaspiro[4.5]dec-1-ylidene)cyclopent-3-ene-1,2-dione

4-Benzoyl-5-phenylfuran-2,3-dione reacts with 2′,5′,5′-trimethyl-4′,5′-dihydro-4H-spiro[naphthalene-1,3′-pyrrol]-4-one and 8-(2-methoxy-5-methylphenyl)-1,3,3,9-tetramethyl-2-azaspiro[4.5]deca-1,7-dien-6-one with the formation of (Z)-3-benzoyl-5-(5′,5′-dimethyl-4-oxo-4H-spiro[naphthalene-1,3′-pyrrolidin]-2′-ylidene)-4-phenylcyclopent-3-ene-1,2-dione, whose structure was proved by XRD analysis, and of (Z)-3-benzoyl-5-{8-(2-methoxy-5-methylphenyl)-3,3,9-trimethyl-6-oxo-2-azaspiro[4.5]dec-7-en-1-ylidene}-4-phenylcyclopent-3-ene-1,2-dione.     

Synthesis of 4-[(1,3-diaminopyrrolo[3′,4′:4,5]pyrido[2,3-d]-pyrimidin-8-yl)benzoyl]-L-glutamic acid as a potential antifolate

This paper is dedicated to the memory of Professor Roland K. Robins The synthesis of 4-[(1,3-diaminopyrrolo[3′,4′:4,5]pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidin-8-yl)benzoyl]-L-glutamic acid ( 18 ), a potential antifolate and anticancer agent, has been achieved starting from 1,4-dibromobutan-2-ol with alkyl p-aminobenzoic acids. Condensation of these two agents gave 1-(4-alkoxycarbonylphenyl)pyrrolidin-3-ols 7a,b , which were oxidized to the corresponding pyrrolidin-3-one derivatives 8a,b . Compounds 8a,b were converted into 1,3-diamino-8-(4-alkoxycarbonylphenyl)-7,8-dihydro-9H-pyrrolo[3′,4′:4,5]pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidines 12a,b in 4 steps. Saponification of 12b the benzoate ester and coupling with di-tert-butyl glutamate afforded a mixture of 7,8-dihydro product 16 and its aromatized derivative 17 . Finally hydrolysis of esters 16 or 17 gave only the title compound 18 . The 7,8-dihydro tricyclic derivatives were easily air-oxidized to form their fully aromatized compounds. The title compound 18 was one tenth less active than MTX against HL-60 cells in culture.     

A convenient approach to heterocyclic building blocks: synthesis of novel ring systems containing a [5,6]Pyrano[2,3-c]pyrazol-4(1H)-one moiety

Starting from commercially available educts, a straightforward synthetic route to new heterocyclic building blocks is exemplified with the one- or two-step synthesis of tri-, tetra-, or pentacyclic ring systems. Representatives of the following novel ring systems are prepared from 3-methyl-1-phenyl-2-pyrazolin-5-one and the corresponding o-halo-arenecarbonyl chloride using calcium hydroxide in refluxing 1,4-dioxane: pyrimidino[4',5':5,6]pyrano[2,3-c]pyrazol-4(1H)-one, thieno[3',2':5,6]pyrano[2,3c]pyrazol- 4-(1H)-one, thieno[3',4':5,6]pyrano[2,3-c]pyrazol-4(1H)-one, thieno[3',2':4',5']thieno[2',3':5,6]-pyrano[2,3-c]pyrazol-4(1H)-one, [1,3]dioxolo[5',6'][1]benzothieno[2',3':5,6]pyrano-[2,3-c]- pyrazol-4(1H)-one, pyridazino[4',3':5,6]pyrano[2,3-c]pyrazol-4(1H)-one and pyrazolo-[4',3':5',6']pyrido[3',4':5,6]pyrano[2,3-c]pyrazol-4(1H)-one. While the latter two ring systems are directly obtained due to a spontaneous intramolecular substitution reaction, in the other reactions uncyclised 4-aroylpyrazol-5-ols are produced, which are cyclised into the target heterocycles in a subsequent synthetic step (i.e. treatment with NaH in DMF). Detailed NMR spectroscopic investigations ((1)H-, (13)C-, (15)N-) with the obtained compounds were undertaken to unambiguously prove the new structures.

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. Arylidene derivatives have been obtained by two routes. The structures of the cyclized compounds have been established on the basis of elemental analysis and spectroscopic data. The synthesized compounds were screened for antimicrobial activity. Some of the compounds showed promising antimicrobial activities.     

A Novel,Degraded Polyketidic Lactone,Leptosphaerolide, and Its Likely Diketone Precursor,Leptosphaerodione. Isolation from Cultures of the Marine Ascomycete Leptosphaeria oraemaris (LINDER)

Acetone extraction of cultures of the marine ascomycete Leptosphaeria oraemaris (LINDER) on cornmeal disk gave the novel polyketide derivative leptosphaerolide ( = (+)-7-[(1E)-l,3-dimethylpent-1-enyl]-10-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzo[1,2-b:5,4-c′]dipyran-2(9H)-one; (4+)-8) besides the o-dihydroquinone 3-[(1E)-1,3-dimethylpent-1-euyl]-8,10-dihydroxy-7-methoxy-8-(2-oxopropyl)-1H-naphtho[2,3-c]pyran-9(8H)-one ( 1 ) as a 10:9 mixture of epimers. retro-Aldol reaction of 1 gave leptosphaerodione ( = (?)-3-[(1E)-1,3-dimethylpent-1-enyl]-10-hydroxy-7-methoxy-1H-naphtho[2,3-c]pyran-8,9(8H)-dione; (?)-6) which was also present in small amounts in the extracts and which gave 1 on reaction with acetone. It is thus likely that 1 is an artefact of the extraction by acetone. Biogenetically (+)-8 might derive from (?)-6 via an unusual oxidation with loss of CO₂.

A NOVEL SYNTHESIS OF 2-SUBSTITUTED-4H-THIENO [2,3-d][1,3] OXAZIN-4-ONE AND 2,3-DISUBSTITUTED THIENO [2,3-d]PYRIMIDIN-4(3H)-ONE DERIVATIVES

Abstract

The synthesis of acetic 2-{[1-methyl-2-(4-oxo-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-4H-benzo [4,5]-thieno [2,3-d] [1,3-oxazin-2-yl)ethylidene]amino}-4,5,6,7-tetrahydrohenzo[b]thiophene ?3-carboxylic acid anhydride 5 and 2-(oxopropyl)-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-4H-benzo-[4,5] thieno[2,3-d][1,3]oxazin-4-one 7, has been achieved in three steps from ethyl 2-amino-4,5,6,7-tetrahydrobenzo(b]thiophene-3-carboxlate 1 via the reaction with ethyl acetoacetate followed by hydrolysis and acetic anhydride-induced cyclization. The 2-substituent in compound 5 has two functional groups i.e. active methylene and acid anhydride which are suitably located for intramolecular transformation. Thermal and/or base catalyzed intramolecular cyclization of 5 afforded 2-(4-acetoxy-(hydroxyl)-2-methyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydrobenzo[4,5] thieno[2,3-b]pyridin-3-yl)-5,6,7,8- tetrahydro-4H-benzo[4,5]thieno[2,3-d] [1,3]oxazin-4-one 10 and 9 respectively. Treatment of 5 with hydrazine hydrate, aromatic and/or heterocyclic amines induced the same intramolecular cyclization with a concomitant oxazine-pyrimidine interconversion to give 3-amino(aryl or heteryl)-2-(4-hydroxy-5,6,7,8-tetrdhydrobenzo-[4,5]thieno[2,3-b]pyridin-3-yl)-3,4,5,6,7,8-hexahydrobenzo[4,5] thieno[2,3-d] pyrimid in-4-one 11–14 respectively.     

Novel heterocyclic systems based on 8-R-4,5-dihydro-4,4-dimethyl-[1,2]dithiolo[3,4-c]quinoline-1-thiones

Based on the reaction of 8-R-4,5-dihydro-4,4-dimethyl[1,2]dithiolo[3,4-c]quinoline-1-thiones with oxalyl chloride followed by the reactions of 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition and diene synthesis with participation of acetylenedicarboxylic acid dimethyl ester, we have developed approaches to synthesis of novel polycondensed heterocyclic systems: [1,2]dithiolo[3,4-c]pyrrolo[3,2,1-ij]quinoline-4,5-dione, 6-(1,3-dithiol-2-ylidene)-1,2-dioxo-5-thioxo-7H-pyrrolo[3,2,1-ij]quinoline and 4,5-dioxospiro(pyrrolo)-[3,2,1-ij]thiopyrano[2,3-c]quinoline-11,2′-[1,3]dithiole. __________ Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 4, pp. 610–615, April, 2006.     

Synthesis and photoreactivity of aryl substituted 4,5-dithienyl[1,3]dithiol-2-ones

UV irradiation of hitherto unknown 4,5-bis-benzo[b]thiophen-3-yl-[1,3]dithiol-2-one gave 3-(3-benzo[b]thienyl)-thieno[3,4-c]benzo[e][1,2]dithiine by loss of carbon monoxide and rearrangement, whereas 4,5-bis-(2-bromo-phenyl)-[1,3]dithiol-2-one gave a polymeric material containing S-S bridges. The structures of both photoproducts were demonstrated on the basis of chemical behaviour and/or X-ray diffraction.     

Synthetic Approach to 6-Benzoyl-2H-[1,2,4]triazine-3,5-dione and 6-Benzyl-5-thioxo-3,4-dihydro-2H-[1,2,4]triazin-3-one and Studies on Their Transformation to Fused[1,2,4]triazine Systems

Reaction of phenylpyruvic acid with semicarbazide afforded 6-benzyl-2H-[1,2,4]triazine-3,5-dione ( 1 ) which upon oxidation with potassium dichromate furnished 6-benzoyl-2H-[1,2,4]triazine-3,5-dione ( 2 ) in good yield. Constructing pyrazolo[3,4-e][1,2,4]triazine system ( 4 ) was achieved by reacting 2 with arylhydrazines in ethanolic solution. However treatment of 2 with the less reactive heteroarylhydrazines gave only the corresponding hydrazones ( 3 ). Attempt for constructing 1,2,4,5,10-pentaaza-dibenzo[a,d]cyclohept-3-one ( 7 ) from 2 was failed and (benzoimidazol-2-yl) [1,2,4] triazine derivative ( 6 ) was the only product. Reaction of 1 with phosphorus pentasulphide afforded compounds 8 and 9 . Compound 8 was transformed to the hydrazino compound 14 , which led to the construction of triazolo[4,3-d] [1,2,4]triazine system. Thus compounds 15 and 16 were obtained by reacting 14 with carbon disulfide or acetic anhydride respectively. Attempt to couple 8 with chloroacetic acid failed, while it's known isomer 10 led to the formation of thiazolo [2,3-c] [1,2,4]triazine derivative ( 13 ). Simple theoretical calculation using AM1 and PM3 semiempirical Hamitonian provided rational ways to correlate the reactivity with structure proposed.     

Synthesis of the 7-deaza and 5-aza-7-deaza purine analogs of the antiherpes agent 9-[(1,3-dihydroxy-2-propoxy)methyl]guanine (DHPG)

Novel heterocycles. Synthesis of 2,3-dihydro-6-methyl-2-phenyl-4H,6H-pyrano[3,2-c][2,1]benzothiazin-4-one 5,5-dioxide and related compounds

The reaction of 2-chloro-4-(methylsulfonyl)benzoyl chloride ( 5 ) with 1-methyl-1H-2,1-benzothiazin-4-(3H)-one 2,2-dioxide ( 4 ) gave the O-benzoyl compound, 1-methyl-2,2-dioxido-1H-2,1-benzothiazin-4-yl 2-chloro-4-(methylsulfonyl)benzoate ( 6 ), which rearranged to give the C-benzoyl isomer, [2-chloro-4-(methylsulfonyl)phenyl] (4-hydroxy-1-mefhyl-2,2-dioxido-1H-2,1-benzothiazin-3-yl)methanone ( 7 ). The O-cinnamoyl compound 13 that resulted from the addition of 2,4-dichlorocinnamoyl chloride ( 11 ) to compound 4 rearranged to give the C-cinnamoyl compound, 3-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)-1-(4-hydroxy-1-methyl-2,2-dioxido-1H-2,1-benzothiazin-3yl)-2-propen-1-one ( 15 ). On the other hand, 1-methyl-2,2-dioxido-1H-2,1-benzothiazin-4-yl 3-phenyl-2-propenoate ( 19 ) (from cinnamoyl chloride ( 17 ) and compound 4 ) rearranged to give 2,3-dihydro-6-methyl-2-phenyl-4H,6H-pyrano[3,2-c][2,1]benzothiazin-4-one 5,5-dioxide ( 21 ), an example of a hitherto unknown ring system. Additional examples of this novel heterocycle were prepared from 1-methyl-7-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-pyrido[2,3-c][1,2]thiazin-4(3H)-one 2,2-dioxide ( 23 ) and 1-methyl-1H-thieno[3,2-c][1,2]thiazin-4(3H)-one 2,2-dioxide ( 8 ).     

Furopyridines. V. A simple synthesis of furo[2,3-c]pyridine and its 2-and 3-methyl derivatives

A simple synthesis of furo[2,3-c]pyridine and its 2- and 3-methyl derivatives from ethyl 3-hydroxyisonicotinate ( 2 ) is described. The hydroxy ester 2 was O-alkylated with ethyl bromoacetate or ethyl 2-bromopropionate to give the diester 3a or 3b . Cyclization of compound 3a afforded ethyl 3-hydroxyfuro [2,3-c]pyridine-2-carboxylate ( 4 ) which was hydrolyzed and decarboxylated to give furo[2,3-c]pyridin-3(2H)-one ( 5a ). Cyclization of 3b gave the 2-methyl derivative 5b . Reduction of 5a and 5b with sodium borohydride yielded the corresponding hydroxy derivative 6a and 6b , respectively, which were dehydrated with phosphoric acid to give furo[2,3-c]pyridine ( 7a ) and its 2-methyl derivative 7b . 4-Acetylpyridin-3-ol ( 8 ) was O-alkylated with ethyl bromoacetate to give ethyl 2-(4-acetyl-3-pyridyloxy) acetate ( 9 ). Saponification of compound 9 , and the subsequent intramolecular Perkin reaction gave 3-methylfuro[2,3-c]pyridine ( 10 ). Cyclization of 9 with sodium ethoxide gave 3-methylfuro[2,3-c]pyridine-2-carboxylic acid, which in turn was decarboxylated to give compound 10 .     

Studies on the Cyclisation of 4-[2′-Cyclohexenyl]-3-hydroxy[1]benzopyran-2-one

The bicyclic coumarin derivative-1, 3 propano-2-bromo-1,2-dihydro-3H-pyrano [2, 3-c] [1]benzo-pyran-5-one (8) was synthesised by a sequence of reaction viz. acetylation of 4-[2′-cyclohexenyl] -3-hydroxy [1] benzopyran-2-one (4), addition of bromine to cyclohexenyl double bond and treating the resulting acetyldi-bromo derivative (7) with 4% alcoholic KOH. Benzofuro [2, 3-c] [1] -benzopyran-6-one (10) was synthesised from 4 via oxymercuration with mercuric acetate in methanol followed by dehydrogenative damercuration with Pd-C in refluxing diphenyl ether.     

Unambiguously confirmed structure of 2-phenacylidene-1,2-dihydro-4H-pyrido[2,3-b]pyrazin-3-one and 3-phenacylidene-3,4-dihydro-1H-pyrido[2,3-b]pyrazin-2-one

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.     

Synthesis of 6-amino-2-aryl-1,2-dihydro-3H-pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4-one derivatives

This paper reports the synthesis of new pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4-one derivatives as diuretic agents. Starting with 1,2-dihydro-5-nitro-2-oxo-3-pyridinecarboxylic acid 1 , ethyl 2-ethoxy-5-nitro-3-pyridincarboxylate 4 was obtained. Compound 4 reacts with ammonia, methylamine or S-methylpseudothiourea to give the respective 2-amino-5-nitro-3-pyridinecarboxamide derivatives 5 and 6 or 2-methylthio-6-nitro-3H-pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4-one 8. Treating carboxamide 5 with arylaldehydes and zinc dichloride, new 2-aryl-1,2-dihydro-6-nitro-3H-pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4-ones 9 were synthetised. These compounds reduced with iron(II) hydroxide gave 6-amino-2-aryl-1,2-dihydro-3H-pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4-ones 10 as expected.
