1H-pyrrol-2,3-diones react with nitrones affording substituted pyrrolо[3,2-d]isoxazoles. The structures of ethyl (3R*,3aR*,6aR*)-6-benzyl-3-(4-bromophenyl)-4,5-dioxo-2,6a-diphenylhexahydro-3aHpyrrolo[ 3,2-d]isoxazole-3a-carboxylate and dimethyl (3R*,3aR*,6aS*)-3-(4-bromophenyl)-4,5-dioxo-2,6-diphenyltetrahydro-3aH-pyrrolo[3,2-d]isoxazole-3a,6a(4H)-dicarboxylate were proved by single-crystal X-ray analysis.     

Oxidative Addition of <Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-Aminophthalimide to Alkenyl-4,5-dihydropyrazoles and Alkenylpyrazoles. Synthesis of Aziridinylpyrazoles

Oxidation of N-aminophthalimide with lead tetraacetate in the presence of 1,5-diaryl-3-[(E)-2-arylethenyl]-1H-pyrazoles, as well as of 1,3-diphenyl-5-[(E)-2-phenylethenyl]-1H-pyrazole, gives adducts at the exocyclic C=C bond, the corresponding phthalimidoaziridinylpyrazoles. From 1,5-diphenyl-3-[(1E,3E)-4-phenyl-1,3-butadienyl]-1H-pyrazole, only product of addition at both exocyclic C=C bonds was obtained. In the reaction with 1-phenyl-3-[(1E, 3E)-4-phenyl-1,3-butadienyl]-5-[(E)-2-phenylethenyl]-1H-pyrazole, the adduct at the styryl C=C bond was isolated. Analogous 4,5-dihydropyrazoles, 1,5-diphenyl-3-[(1E, 3E)-4-phenyl-1,3-butadienyl]-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazole and 1-phenyl-3-[(1E, 3E)-4-phenyl-1,3-butadienyl]-5-[(E)-2-phenylethenyl]-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazole, turned out to be inert in oxidative addition of N-aminophthalimide.     

Chemistry of Acyl(imidoyl)ketenes: IX. Synthesis and Thermolysis of 3-Aroyl-8-chloro-1,2-dihydro-4<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>-pyrrolo[2,1-<Emphasis Type="Italic">c</Emphasis>][1,4]benzoxazine-1,2,4-triones

Reactions of 3-Z-aroylmethylene-6-chloro-3,4-dihydro-2H-1,4-benzoxazine-2-ones with oxalyl chloride afford 3-aroyl-8-chloro-1,2-dihydro-4H-pyrrolo[2,1-c][1,4]benzoxazine-1,2,4-triones and Z-3-(2-aryl-2-chlorovinyl)-6-chloro-2H-1,4-benzoxazine-2-ones. Aroyl(imidoyl)ketenes generated by decarbonylation of pyrrolobenzoxazinetriones undergo dimerization through [4+2]-cycloaddition to form 4-aroyl-3-aroyloxy-2-(2-oxo-2H-1,4-benzoxazin-3-yl)-1H, 5H-pyrido[2,1-c][1,4]benzoxazine-1,5-diones.     

Reaction 5-(Arylmethylidene)pyrimidine-2,4,6(1<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>,3<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>,5<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>)-triones with L-Proline and Aldehydes

Boiling in toluene of 5-(arylmethylidene)pyrimidine-2,4,6(1H,3H,5H)-triones with L-proline and aldehyde led to the formation of previously unknown substituted 1′-arylhexahydro-1H-spiro[pyrimidine-5,2′-pyrrolysine]-2,4,6(1H,3Н,5Н)-triones.     

Regioselectivity in the reactions of <Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-(polychloroethylidene)-sulfonamides with 1<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>-pyrrole and 1-methyl-1<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>-pyrrole

N-(2,2,2-Trichloroethylidene)arenesulfonamides react with 1H-pyrrole and 1-methyl-1H-pyrrole to give the corresponding N-[2,2,2-trichloro-1-(1H-pyrrol-2-yl)ethyl]arenesulfonamides. The reaction of N-(2,2,2-trichloroethylidene)trifluoromethanesulfonamide with pyrrole leads to a mixture of 2-mono-and 2,5-disubstituted pyrroles, whereas in the reaction with 1-methyl-1H-pyrrole only the 2-substituted compound is formed. N-(2,2-Dichloro-2-phenylethylidene)-4-methylbenzenesulfonamide reacts with 1H-pyrrole to form N-[2,2-dichloro-2-phenyl-1-(1H-pyrrol-2-yl)ethyl]-4-methylbenzenesulfonamide, and its reaction with 1-methyl-1H-pyrrole gives a mixture of 2-and 3-monosubstituted derivatives. The results of quantum-chemical calculations of the initial reactants and products indicate that the process is orbital-controlled. A good agreement is observed between the experimental data and theoretical conclusions concerning the dependence of the reaction regioselectivity on the nature of substituents in the electrophile molecule.     

Synthesis of 2-(halomethyl)-3,4-dihydro-2<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>-pyrido[2,1-<Emphasis Type="Italic">b</Emphasis>][1,3]oxazinium halides

Alkylation of pyridin-2(1H)-one and 5-nitropyridin-2(1H)-one with 4-bromobut-1-ene afforded a mixture of N- and O-butenyl derivatives. 1-(But-3-en-1yl)pyridin-2(1H)-one and 1-(but-3-en-1-yl)-5-nitropyridin- 2(1H)-one reacted with bromine and iodine to give 2-(halomethyl)-3,4-dihydro-2H-pyrido[2,1-b][1,3]-oxazinium halides.     

Synthesis of 1-(1,3-dialkyl-2-oxo-2,3-dihydro-1<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>-imidazo-[4,5-<Emphasis Type="Italic">b</Emphasis>]pyridin-5-yl)-5-oxopyrrolidine-3-carboxylic acids

Nitration of 2,3-dihydro-1H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-2-one gave its 5-nitro derivative which was subjected to alkylation with dimethyl sulfate, diethyl sulfate, and benzyl(dimethyl)phenylammonium chloride. The resulting 1,3-dimethyl-, 1,3-diethyl-, and 1,3-dibenzyl-5-nitro-2,3-dihydro-1H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-2-ones were reduced to the corresponding 1,3-dialkyl-5-amino-2,3-dihydro-1H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-2-ones, and the latter reacted with itaconic acid to produce 1-(1,3-dialkyl-2-oxo-2,3-dihydro-1H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-5-yl)-5-oxopyrrolidine-3-carboxylic acids. 1-(2-Oxo-2,3-dihydro-1H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-5-yl)-5-oxopyrrolidine-3-carboxylic acid was obtained by analogous reaction with 5-amino-2,3-dihydro-1H-imidazo[4,5-b]-pyridin-2-one.     

Reactions of <Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-(Polychloroethylidene)arene-and - trifluoromethanesulfonamides with indoles

N-(Polychloroethylidene)arene-and -trifluoromethanesulfonamides reacted with indole and N-substituted indoles to give the corresponding N-[2,2-dichloro(or 2,2,2-trichloro)-1-(1H-indol-3-yl)ethyl]-substituted sulfonamides. Unlike N-(2,2,2-trichloroethylidene)trifluoromethanesulfonamide, less electrophilic N-(poly-chloroethylidene)arenesulfonamides failed to react with 1-(4-nitrophenyl)-1H-indole. Previously unknown N,N’-bis(2,2-dichloroethylidene)biphenyl-4,4’-disulfonamide reacted with 1-benzyl-1H-indole at both azomethine fragments. Likewise, reactions of 1,6-bis(1H-indol-1-yl)hexane and 1,4-bis(1H-indol-1-ylmethyl)-benzene with N-sulfonyl trichloroacetaldehyde imines involved both indole rings in the former.     

Synthesis and reactions of 3-(3-ethoxycarbonyl-1-phenyl-1<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>-pyrazol-4-yl)propenic acid

The reaction of ethyl 4-formyl-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazole-3-carboxylate with the malonic acid led to the formation (2E)-3-(3-ethoxycarbonyl-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)propenic acid. In reactions of this acid chloride with 4-amino-5-aryl(hetaryl)-4H-1,2,4-triazole-3-thiols were obtained ethyl 4-[(E)-2-{3-aryl(hetaryl)[1,2,4]triazolo[3,4-b][1,3,4]thiadiazol-6-yl}ethenyl]-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazoe-3-carboxylates, with 5-aryltetrazoles, ethyl 4-[(E)-2-(5-aryl-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-yl)-ethenyl]-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazole-3-carboxylates, with 1-(2-hydroxy-3,5-dimethylphenyl) followed by the Baker-Venkataraman rearrangement and the cyclization, ethyl 4-[(E)-2-(6,8-dimethyl-4-oxo-4Hchromen-2-yl)ethenyl]-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazole-3-carboxylate.

1H-Indole and 2-methyl-1H-indole reacted with ethyl 3-bromopropynoate over aluminum oxide to give mixtures of the corresponding ethyl 3-(1H-indol-3-yl)propynoates and ethyl 3,3-bis(1H-indol-3-yl)-acrylates, the latter prevailing.     

Synthesis of 1,2,4- and 1,3,4-oxadiazoles from 1-aryl-5-methyl-1<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>-1,2,3-triazole-4-carbonyl chlorides

5-Substituted 2-(1-aryl-5-methyl-1H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)-1,3,4-oxadiazoles were synthesized by reaction of 1-aryl-5-methyl-1H-1,2,3-triazole-4-carbonyl chlorides with the corresponding 5-substituted 1H-tetrazoles. 5-Methyl-1-phenyl-1H-1,2,3-triazole-4-carbonyl chloride reacted with N′-hydroxybenzimidamides to give 3-aryl-5-(5-methyl-1-phenyl-1H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)-1,2,4-oxadiazoles. Reactions of 4-(5-methyl-1H-1,2,3-triazol-1-yl)benzoic acid with N′-hydroxybenzimidamides resulted in the formation of 3-aryl-5-[4-(5-methyl-1H-1,2,3-triazol-1-yl)phenyl]-1,2,4-oxadiazoles.

Treatment of 5-amino-1,3-dialkyl-2,3-dihydro-1H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-2-ones with sodium nitrite in aqueous HCl gave 1,3-dialkyl-1H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridine-2,5(3H,4H)-diones which were nitrated with potassium nitrate in sulfuric acid to 6-nitro derivatives, and the latter underwent recyclization into 4-amino-1,3-dialkyl-5-(1H-pyrazol-5-yl)-2,3-dihydro-1H-imidazol-2-ones by the action of hydrazine hydrate.     

Cyclizations of monocyclic 5-nitropyridin-2(1<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>)-ones

Reactions of 5-nitropyridin-2(1H)-one and its N-methyl derivative with hydrazine hydrate led to the formation of (1H-pyrazol-3-yl) acetohydrazide. Under analogous conditions, 1,3-dimethyl-5-nitropyridin2(1H)-one gave rise to 2-(1H-pyrazol-3-yl)propionohydrazide, while 6-methyl-5-nitropyridin-2(1H)-one was converted into (5-methyl-1H-pyrazol-3-yl)acetohydrazide. Hydrazinolysis of 4-methyl-5-nitropyridin-2(1H)-one resulted in the formation of 3-methyl-4-nitro-1H-pyrazole. The mechanism of recyclization of nitropyridine derivatives by the action of hydrazine hydrate was studied using 5-nitropyridin-2(1H)-one and 1-methyl-5-nitropyridin-2(1H)-one as examples.     

Reaction of 2-(2-oxo-2,3-dihydro-1<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>-indol-3-ylidene)acetic acid esters with benzene-1,2-diamine and 2-aminobenzenethiol

2-(2-Oxo-2,3-dihydro-1H-indol-3-ylidene)acetic acid esters reacted with benzene-1,2-diamine or 2-aminobenzenethiol to give (2-oxo-2,3-dihydro-1H-indol-3-yl)-substituted 3,4-dihydroquinoxalin-2(1H)-ones or 2H-1,4-benzothiazin-3(4H)-ones.     

Synthesis and antimicrobial activity of novel fused [1,2,4]triazino[5,6-<Emphasis Type="Italic">b</Emphasis>]indole derivatives

Synthesis of new fused systems of triazino[5,6-b]indole starting with preparation of 3-amino[1,2,4]-triazino[5,6-b]indole 1 by reaction of isatin with 2-aminoguanidinium carbonate in boiling acetic acid is presented [1]. Intermediate compound 1 reacted with aldehyde, ethyl chloroformate, triethyl orthoformate, and ninhydrine and gave new heterotetracyclic nitrogen systems, such as 3-(N ²-guanidinylimino)indole-2(1H)-one 2, 3-(N-ethoxycarbonylamino)-4H-[1,2,4]triazino[5,6-b]indole 3, 3-(N-ethoxymethyleneamino)-4H-[1,2,4]-triazino[5,6-b]indole 4, 3-(hydrazinothiocarbonylamino)-4H-[1,2,4]triazino[5,6-b]indole 5, respectively. N-(1,3-dioxoindene-2-ylidene)-4H-[1,2,4]triazino[5,6-b]indol-3-amine 6 was synthesized by reaction of compound 1 with aldehyde, ethyl chloroformate, triethyl orthoformate, and ninhydrine. New fused indole systems, pyrimido[2′,1′:3,4][1,2,4]triazino[5,6-b]indol-3(4H)-one 8, 9, 11, 12 and 1H-imidazo[2′,1′:3,4][1,2,4]triazino-[5,6-b]indol-2(3H)-one 10, were synthesized in the reaction of the intermediate 1 with bifunctional compounds. Structures of the products were elucidated from their elemental analysis and spectral data (IR, ¹H and ¹³C NMR and mass spectra). Antimicrobial activity of some synthesized compounds was tested.     

Reactions of 1,3-Dialkyl-5-amino-1,3-dihydro-2<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>-imidazo-[4,5-<Emphasis Type="Italic">b</Emphasis>]pyridin-2-ones with acetylacetone and ethyl acetoacetate

1,3-Dialkyl-5-amino-1,3-dihydro-2H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-2-ones reacted with acetylacetone to give the corresponding 4-(1,3-dialkyl-2-oxo-1,3-dihydro-2H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-5-ylamino)pent-3-en-2-ones which underwent intramolecular cyclization to 1,3-dialkyl-5,7-dimethyl-1,3-dihydro-2H-imidazo[4,5-b]-[1,8]naphthyridin-2-ones on heating in polyphosphoric acid or diphenyl ether. Analogous reaction of 1,3-dialkyl-5-amino-1,3-dihydro-2H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-2-ones with ethyl acetoacetate led to the formation of ethyl 3-(1,3-dialkyl-2-oxo-1,3-dihydro-2H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-5-ylamino)but-2-enoates whose cyclization afforded 1,3-dialkyl-8-hydroxy-7-methyl-1,3-dihydro-2H-imidazo[5,4-b][1,8]naphthyridin-2-ones.

1-Aryl-4-chloro-5-(2-nitroethenyl)-1H-imidazoles reacted with thiols and aromatic amines via Michael addition to give 5-[(1-arylsulfanyl)-2-nitroethyl)]-4-chloro-1H-imidazoles and N-[1-(1-aryl-4-chloro-1H-imidazol-5-yl)-2-nitroethyl]anilines, respectively. [2 + 3]-Cycloaddition of the title compounds to sodium azide afforded 4-(4-chloro-1H-imidazol-5-yl)-1H-1,2,3-triazoles.     

Alkylation of 2-(methylsulfanyl)-6-polyfluoroalkylpyrimidin-4(3<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>)-ones with haloalkanes

The alkylation of ambident anions of 2-(methylsulfanyl)-6-(polyfluoroalkyl)pyrimidin-4(3H)-ones with 4-bromobutyl acetate leads to concurrent formation of O- and N-(4-acetoxybutyl) derivatives. Polar aprotic solvents favor formation of the O-isomer, and weakly polar dioxane favors N-alkylation. The reaction of 2-(methylsulfanyl)-6-(trifluoromethyl)pyrimidin-4(3H)-one with an equimolar amount of 1,2-dibromoethane in polar acetonitrile gives a mixture of N,N-, O,O-, and N,O-bridged bis-pyrimidines, as well as N- and O-[2-(methylsulfanyl)ethyl] derivatives, whereas in the presence of 10 equiv of 1,2-dibromoethane the N,O-isomer is formed as the only product. The reaction in weakly polar tetrahydrofuran yields N,N- and N,O-bispyrimidines.     

<Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-(4-methoxy-3-nitrobenzyl) derivatives of some nitrogen-containing heterocycles

A number of nitrogen heterocycles reacted with 4-methoxy-3-nitrobenzyl chloride in dimethyl-formamide in the presence of potassium carbonate to give the corresponding N-(4-methoxy-3-nitrobenzyl) derivatives. The reaction of 5-fluoro-1,3-bis(4-methoxy-3-nitrobenzyl)pyrimidine-2,4(1H,3H)-dione with aqueous methylamine afforded N,N′-bis(4-methylamino-3-nitrobenzyl)urea, whereas analogous reaction with 1-(4-methoxy-3-nitrobenzyl)-2-(methylsulfanyl)-1H-benzimidazole resulted in substitution of the methoxy group by methylamino.
