Preparation of 2-pyridone-containing tricyclic alkaloid derivatives as potential inhibitors of tumor cell proliferation by regioselective intramolecular N- and C-acylation of 2-pyridone

A novel and practical preparation of 2-pyridone-containing tricyclic alkaloid derivatives was developed. By regioselective intramolecular N- and C-acylation of 2-(4-aryl-2-pyridon-6-yl)benzoic acid, a pair of structural isomers 2-aryl pyrido[2,1-a]isoindole-4,6-diones and 4-aryl 1-methyl-1H-indeno[1,2-b]-pyridine-2,5-diones, as potential inhibitors of tumor cell proliferation, were prepared respectively.     

Iodine catalyzed synthesis of the chromene derivatives in one-pot

Iodine catalyzed one-pot reactions of salicylaldehyde and dimolecular 1 H-indene-1,3(2H)-dione,barbituric acids,4-hydroxycoumarin, or 4-hydroxy-6-methylpyran-2-one were performed and provided a rapid,convenient and general approach to synthesize the chromene derivatives.2-(11-Oxo-10,11-dihydroindeno[l,2-b]chromen-10-yl)-1H-indene-1,3(2H)-diones P1-P4 and 10-(4-hydroxy-6-methyl-2-oxo-2H-pyran-3-yl)-3-methylpyrano[4,3-6]chromen-1(10H)-ones P8-P9 were unprecedentedly prepared and structurally identified by NMR and Mass.The confirmation of structure by single crystal X-ray crystallography is reported for P3.     

Synthesis and autoxidation of new tetracyclic 9H,10H-indolizino[1,2-b]indole-1-ones.

The new tetracyclic 9H,10H-indolizino[1,2-b]indole-1-one derivatives (7a-d, 7ea, 7eb) have been synthesized by modified Fischer indole synthesis from the enol ether of 2,5-dihydroxy-7-methyl-6-cyano-indolizine (3) and arylhydrazines (4a-g). Attempted N-methylation of 7a-d produced a series of autoxidized products including 10-hydroperoxy-1-methoxyindolizino[1,2-b]indole (9a-d) as the major product accompanied with methylperoxides (10a-d and 11a-d) and 2-formyl-3-(pyridine-2-yl)indole (12a, 12c) derivatives as the minor products. A plausible mechanism of the autoxidation is postulated based on the isolation of some intermediates. The reaction is thought to proceed through azaenolate/enamine intermediates following a novel type of autoxidation.

Condensed isoquinolines. 37.* Heterocyclization using 3-(arylamino)- and 3-(hetarylamino)isoquinolin-1(2H)-ones

The reaction of 3-NHR-isoquinolin-1(2H)-ones (R = Ar) with aromatic aldehydes in the presence of Me3SiCl or in acetic acid leads to the formation of derivatives of dibenzo[b,f][1, 8]naphthyridin-5(6H)- one and benzo[f]isoquino[3,4-b][1, 8]naphthyridine-5,9(6H,7H)-dione. The reaction for R = Het in the presence of Me3SiCl gives derivatives of 5H-pyrido[1',2':1,2]pyrimido[4,5-c]isoquinolin-5-one, benzo[f]isoquinoline[3,4-b][1,8]naphthyridine-5,9[6H,7H]-dione, and derivatives of new heterocyclic systems, 5H-pyrazino[1',2':1,2]pyrimido[4,5-c]isoquinolin-5-one, 5H-[1,3]thiazolo[3',2':1,2]pyrimido- [4,5-c]isoquinolin-5-one, 5-H-benzo[f]pyrazolo[3,4-b][1,8]naphthyridin-5-one, and isoquino[3,4-b]- [1,5]naphthyridin-5(6H)-one. The effect of the structure of substituent R and nature of the substituent in the benzaldehydes on the structure of the reaction products was studied.

Dy(OTf)3 as a versatile catalyst for the synthesis of 3-pyrrolyl-indolinones and pyrrolyl-indeno[1,2-b]quinoxalines

Dysprosium(III) triflate is found to catalyze efficiently the coupling of 4-hydroxyproline with indeno[1,2-b]quinoxalin-11-one and isatin derivatives under mild conditions to produce 11-(1H-pyrrol-1-yl)-11H-indeno[1,2-b]quinoxalin-11-one and 3-(1H-pyrrol-1-yl)indolin-2-one derivatives, respectively, in excellent yields in short reaction times.

Synthesis of N-substituted 1H-indeno[2,1-b]pyridines

It was established that N-phenacyl and p-nitrophenacyl bromides and N-methyl-1-azafluorenium iodide, as well as N-phenacyl-7-nitro-1-azafluorenium bromide, are converted to N-substituted 1H-indeno[2,1-b]pyridines rather than to the corresponding yilds or indenoindolizines upon treatment with bases under various conditions. All of the pseudoazulenes of this type were isolated in the form of crystalline black or dark-violet substances. In contrast to pseudoazulenes of the 1H-indeno[1,2-b]-and 2H-indeno[2,1-c]pyridine series, they are stable both in the solid state and in solutions. 1H-1-Methylindeno[2,1-b]pyridine forms a perchlorate and a picrate (retention of the pseudoazulene structure) but is converted to N-methyl-1-azafluorenium chloride by the action of hydrogen chloride. Spectral characteristics are presented for all of the compounds obtained.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 11, pp. 1511–1515, November, 1980.

s-Triazolo[3, 4-b]-1,3,4-thiadiazine derivatives constitute an important class of organic compounds with diverse biological activities. 2-Phenylquinoline and 1,2, 3-triazole derivatives are very attractive heterocyclic systems due to their wide use in medicine, agriculture and industry^[1]. Incorporation of 2-phenylquinoline and 1,2,3-triazole moiety into the 3-position of s-triazolo[3,4-b]-l, 3,4-thiadiazine ring system may enhance their biological activity. In light of the above findings, we synthesized some new s-triazolo[3, 4-b]-1, 3, 4-thiadiazine derivatives 2a-b~6a-b by the condensation of 4-amino-5-mercapto-3-(2-phenylquinolin-4-yl)/3-(1-p-chlorophenyl-5-methyl-1, 2,3-triazol-4-yl)-1, 2, 4-triazoles 1a-b with chloroacetalde-hyde, ω-bromo-ω-(1H-1, 2, 4-triazol-1-yl)acetophenone, chloranil, 2-bromocyclohexanone, 2, 4'-dibromoacetophenone, respectively.

Condensed imidazo-1,2,4-azines. 14. Synthesis and reactivity of 3-chlorine-substituted imidazo[1,2-b]-1,2,4-triazines

When boiled with phosphorus pentachloride in phosphorus oxychloride, 2-methyl-6-phenyl-imidazo[1,2-b]1,2,4-triazin-4H-3-one gives a mixture of mono- and dichloro derivatives, whereas the action of thionyl chloride in chloroform with a catalytic amount of DMFA gives only the monosubstituted product 2-methyl-3-chloro-6-phenylimidazo[1,2-b]-1,2,4-triazine. The reactivity of the 3-chloro derivatives of imidazo[1,2-b]-1,2,4-triazine in reactions with diethylamine, piperidine, morpholine, aniline, hydrazine hydrate and thiourea was investigated.For Communication 13, see [1].Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 7, pp. 981–985, July, 1986.

ABSORPTION AND EMISSION SPECTRAL PROPERTIES OF SOME 2-PHENYLQUINOLINES AND RELATED FUSED SYSTEMS

Abstract— A series of modified 2-phenylquinolines were synthesized and their absorption and emission spectral properties measured in order to determine the effect of structural modifications on excited states. It was hoped that modifications would sufficiently change excited-state properties so that similar structural modifications in 2-phenylquinolinemethanols would negate the phototoxicity of these compounds. The excited states of 2-( o -hydroxyphenyl)quinoline, 11 H-indeno[1,2-b]quinoline, and l,4-dimethyl-5,6-dihydrobenz[c]acridine proved to have properties different from those of normal 2-phenylquinolines, and this effect was shown to be reflected in simple photochemistry of the dihydrobenzacridine. Absorption spectra provided information on conformational preferences for several of the derivatives.     

Synthesis and cytotoxic activity of acronycine analogues in the benzo[c]pyrano[3,2-h]acridin-7-one and naphtho[1,2-b][1,7] and [1,10]-phenanthrolin-7(14H)-one series

Condensation of 1-bromo-2-naphthalenecarboxylic acid (9) with 7-methoxy-2,2-dimethyl-2H-1-benzopyran-5-ylamine (13) followed by acid-mediated cyclization afforded 6-methoxy-3,3-dimethyl-3,14-dihydro-7H-benzo[c]pyrano[3,2-h]acridin-7-one (15), which was further methylated into 6-methoxy-3,3,14-trimethyl-3,14-dihydro-7H-benzo[c]pyrano[3,2-h]acridin-7-one (benzo[c]acronycine) (3) and 6,7-dimethoxy-3,3-dimethyl-3H-benzo[c]pyrano[3,2-h]acridine (4). Osmium tetroxide oxidation of 15 gave the (+/-)-cis-diol 16, which afforded the benzopyranoacridine and benzopyranoacridone esters 17-22 upon acylation. Condensation of 9 with suitable aminoquinolines 23-25 afforded the carboxylic naphthylquinolylamines 26-28. Cyclization gave the corresponding naphtho[1,2-b][1,10]-phenanthrolin-7(14H)-ones 29 and 30, and naphtho[1,2-b][1,7]-phenanthrolin-7(14H)-one 31, which were subsequently N-methylated to the desired 14-methylnaphtho[1,2-b][1,10] and [1,7]-phenanthrolinones 6, 7, and 8. Benzo[c]pyrano[3,2-h]acridin-7-one derivatives 3, 16, and 22 displayed cytotoxic activities within the same range of magnitude as acronycine itself, whereas 7-alkoxybenzo[c]pyrano[3,2-h]acridine and 7-acyloxybenzo[c]pyrano[3,2-h]acridine derivatives 4 and 17-21 were less active when tested against L1210 murine leukemia cells in vitro. Naphthophenanthrolinones 6-8 were devoid of significant antiproliferative activity, but compounds 29-31 bearing no substituent on the nitrogen atom at position 14 were more potent.
