14H-Naphtho[1′,2′:5,6] pyrano[2,3-b]quinoline derivatives

Reaction of (N-alkyl-N-phenyl)ethoxycarbonylacetamides with β-naphthol in the presence of phosphorus oxychloride afforded 1-oxo-3-(N-alkyl-N-phenyl)amino-1H-naphtho[2,1-b]pyrans. These compounds underwent reaction with N,N-dimethylformamide-phosphorus oxychloride at 95° yielding a mixture of 14H-naphtho[1′,2′:5,6]pyrano[2,3-b]quinoline derivatives and 1-oxo-2-formyl-3-(N-alkyl-N-phenyl)amino-9-oxy-1H-phenalene. When the same reaction was performed at 140°, only 14-oxo-14H-naphtho[1′,2′:5,6]pyrano[2,3-b]quinoline was obtained in a very good yield. The structures of such compounds were demonstrated by spectral data and by chemical transformations. On the other hand, the expected formylation in the 2 position was achieved when 1-oxo-3-(N-alkyl-N-benzyl)amino-1H-naphtho[2,1-b]pyrans reacted with N,N-dimethylformamide-phosphorus oxychloride.

In addition, the preparation of a series of 2-t-butylimidazo[1,2-b]-pyridazine-6-carboxylic acid derivatives is described. Electrophilic bromination and iodination substitutions of 2-t-butyl-6-methylimidazo[1,2-b]pyridazine afforded 3-halo derivatives. Methyl 6-(4-fluorobenzoyl)pyridazine-3-carbamate was also prepared for antifilarial evaluation.

Treatment of 2-(4,9-dihydro-3H-pyrido[3,4-b]indol-1-yl)-1-methylcyclohexanol ( 2a ) with acetic anhydride or methyl isocyanate gave 2-acetyl-2,3,4,9-tetrahydro-1-(6-oxoheptylidene)-1H-pyrido[3,4-b]indole ( 3 ) or 1,3,4,9-tetrahydro-N-methyl-1-(6-oxoheptylidene)-2H-pyrido[3,4-b]indole-2-carboxamide ( 4 ), respectively. Simpler analogues, 1-alkyl-4,9-dihydro-3H-pyrido[3,4-b]indoles, 7 , subjected to identical reaction conditions, gave 2-acetyl-1-alkylidene-2,3,4,9-tetrahydro-1H-pyrido[3,4-b]indoles 8 and 1,3,4,9-tetrahydro-N-methyl-1-alkyli-dene-2H-pyrido[3,4-b]indole-2-carboxamides 9 , respectively. A limited lanthanide shift reagent study to determine stereochemical assignments was also performed.

Reduction of 1,2,3,6-tetrahydrodiazepinoindol-4-ium chlorides afforded the corresponding hexahydro derivatives. An alternative synthesis of 1-(4-nitrophenyl)-3-oxo-4-phenyl-1,2,3,4,5,6-hexahydro[1,4]diazepino[6,5-b]indole from 3-[N-(4-nitrophenyl)amino]-2-[(phenylimino)methyl]indole was developed.

The structures of the 6-arylhydrazonopyridoquinazolines were characterized by uv and ¹H nmr spectroscopy. The 6-arylhydrazono derivatives show a solvent-dependent E-Z isomerism.     

Convenient synthesis and anticancer evaluation of novel pyrazolyl-thiophene,thieno[3,2-b]pyridine,pyrazolo[3,4-d]thieno[3,2-b]pyridine and pyrano[2,3-d]thieno[3,2-b]pyridine derivatives

The newly synthesized 3-(3-amino-5-(phenylamino)-4-(phenylcarbamoyl)thiophen-2-yl)-3-oxopropanoate was utilized as a precursor for the synthesis of pyrazolyl-thiophene derivative, which undergoes cyclization upon treatment with benzaldehyde derivatives to provide pyrazolo[3,4-d]thieno[3,2-b]pyridines. Basic treatment of pyrazolyl-thiophene derivative with phenyl isothiocyanate followed by subsequent addition of chloroacetone and/or ethyl bromoacetate yielded the thiazolylidene-pyrazolyl thiophenes. In addition, the building block 3-(3-amino-5-(phenylamino)-4-(phenylcarbamoyl)thiophen-2-yl)-3-oxopropanoate was converted into the corresponding thieno[3,2-b]pyridine compounds through its reactions with (DMF-DMA) and/or heating in sodium ethoxide. Moreover, the reaction of 7-hydroxy-5-oxo-N-phenyl-2-(phenylamino)-4,5-dihydrothieno[3,2-b]pyridine-3-carboxamide with 2-arylidenemalononitrile produced the new annulated pyrano[2,3-d]thieno[3,2-b]pyridines. The prepared thiophene-based compounds were evaluated against HepG2, PC3, and MCF-7 cancer cells, and normal fibroblast cell (WI38). The pyrazolo[3,4-d]thieno[3,2-b]pyridine and pyrano[2,3-d]thieno[3,2-b]pyridine compounds substituted with chlorophenyl group presented promising cytotoxic activities against HepG2 cancer cell line without any human toxicity. Docking study for the synthesized thiophene compounds delivered valuable insights about the binding interactions with the crystal structure of NS5B enzyme with PDB ID (4TLR).

Pyridine N-sulfides. Benzisothiazolo[2,3-a]pyridinium tetrafluoroborates and benzothiopheno[3,2-b]pyridines. Novel heterocyclic systems

2-(2-Mercaptophenyl)pyridines are prepared from the corresponding phenols and oxidized with N-chloro-succinimide and silver tetrafluoroborate to benzisothiazolo[2,3-a]pyridine salts ( 4 ). The latter do not rearrange thermally or photochemically to benzothiopheno[3,2-b)pyridines ( 19 ) and are attacked by nucleophiles at sulfur rather than in the pyridine ring, to give the original 2-(2-mercaptophenyl)pyridine back in a reaction involving a dismutation. 19 is prepared by rearranging O-[2-(3-bromo-2-pyridyl)-4-nitrophenyl]dimethylthio-carbamate to the S-aryl compound and heating the latter with strong base.
