Pyridine-substituted hydroxythiophenes. IV. Preparation of 3- and 4-(2-, 3- and 4-pyridyl)-2-hydroxythiophenes

3-(2-, 3- and 4-Pyridyl)-2-methoxythiophenes have been prepared in good yields through the Pd(0)-cat-alyzed coupling of the three isomeric bromopyridines with 3-trimethylstannyl-2-methoxythiophene. This compound was prepared through halogen-metal exchange of 3-bromo-2-methoxythiophene followed by stannylation. 3-Bromo-2-methoxythiophene was prepared by dibromination and α-debromination of 2-methoxythiophen. Most attempts to demethylate 2-methoxy-3-pyridylthiophenes using a large variety of reagents failed, probably due to the instability and high reactivity of the desired 3-pyridyl-2-hydroxythiophene systems. Only 2-methoxy-3-(3-pyridyl)thiophene reacted with boron tribromide to give 3-(3-pyridyl)-3-thiolene-2-one, which only was stable in ether solution at ?20°. The attempted demethylation of 2-methoxy-3-(2-pyridyl)thiophene with trimethylsilane chloride/sodium iodide in refluxing acetonitrile led to a dimer. Demethylation of the 2-methoxy-3-pyridylthiophenes with dibenzyl diselenide and sodium borohydride gave 3-pyridylthiophan-2-ones. A number of other routes to prepare 3-pyridyl-2-hydroxythiophenes were also explored, but none of them gave the desired compounds. On the other hand, the 4-(2-, 3-, and 4-pyridyl)-2-hydroxythiophene systems could easily be prepared by hydrogen peroxide oxidation of the corresponding 4-pyridyl-2-thiopheneboronic esters, which were obtained from 2-bromo-4-pyridylthiophenes by halogen-metal exchange followed by reaction with ethyl borate. The 2-bromo-4-pyridylthiophenes were prepared by dibromination of the known 3-pyridylthiophenes to the 2,5-dibromo derivatives, and removal of the 2-bromine by halogen-metal exchange at ?100°, followed by hydrolysis. The ¹H nmr and ir spectroscopic investigations show that these quite stable 2-hydroxythiophene systems exist exclusively in the 4-pyridyl-3-thiolen-2-one forms.     

Synthesis of Heterocycles from Arylation Products of Unsaturated Compounds: XIII. 5-R<Superscript>1</Superscript>-Benzyl-2-(R<Superscript>2</Superscript>-2-pyridylimino)thiazolidin-4-ones

Meerwein reactions of arenediazonium bromides with methyl and ethyl acrylates gave 3-aryl-2-bromopropionic acid esters which were subjected to cyclocondensation with N-(2-pyridyl)- and N-(6-methyl-2-pyridyl) thioureas to obtain 5-R¹-benzyl-2-(R²-2-pyridylimino)thiazolidin-4-ones. The latter were shown to exist in solution as E isomers of the imino form.__________Translated from Zhurnal Organicheskoi Khimii, Vol. 41, No. 7, 2005, pp. 1071–1075.Original Russian Text Copyright © 2005 by Matiichuk, Obushak, Tsyalkovskii.     

The synthesis of methyl 2-(benzyloxycarbonyl)amino-3-dimethylaminopropenoate. The synthesis of trisubstituted pyrroles, 3-amino-2H-pyran-2-ones,fused 2H-pyran-2-ones and 4H-pyridin-4-ones

Methyl 2-(benzyloxycarbonyl)aimno-3-dimemylaminopropenoate ( 2 ) was prepared from methyl N-(benzyloxycarbonyl)glycinate ( 1 ) and t-butoxybis(dimethylamino)methane, and used as a reagent for preparation of substituted 3-(benzyloxycarbonyl)amino-4H-quinolizin-4-ones 5 and 6 , ?2H-pyran-2-ones 17–19 , ?2H-1-benzopyran-2-ones 28–31 , and -naphthopyrans 32–35 , ?2H-pyrano[3,2-c]pyridine-2,5-dione 46 , -pyrano-[4,3-b]pyran-2,5-dione 47 , -pyrano[3,2-c]benzopyran-2,5-dione 48 , -pyrano[2,3-c]pyrazol-6-ones 49 and 50 , -pyrano[2,3-d]pyrirnidin-7-ones 51 and 52 derivatives. In the reaction of 2 with 1,3-diketones trisubsti tuted pyrroles 14–16 were formed. Selective removal of benzyloxycarbonyl group was achieved by cat alytic transfer hydrogenation with Pd/C in the presence of cyclohexene to afford free 3-amino compounds 7 , 8 , 20 , 36–38 and 53–57 in yields better than 80%.     

Metal Complexes with Macrocyclic Ligands. Part XXIX.. Structural and kinetic studies of two isomeric Cu2+ complexes with 1,4-dimethyl-8-[2-(2-pyridyl)ethyl]-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane

The synthesis and complexation properties of 1,4-dimethyl-8-[2-(2-pyridyl)ethyl]-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetra-decane ( 2 ) are described. This ligand forms with Cu²⁺ two complexes, one of which has been characterized by X-ray structure analysis. The structural, spectral, and kinetic studies indicate that the two Cu²⁺ complexes are isomers with the macrocycle in the trans-III and trans-I configuration. The rate of the interconversion of the trans-I isomer to the thermodynamically more stable trans-III species is proportional to [OH^?]. A mechanism for this reaction is proposed.     

Heterocyclic derivatives of naphthalene-1,8-dicarboxylic anhydride. Part I. Nitro-7H-benzimidazo[2,1-a]benz[de]isoquinolin-7-ones

Condensation of o-phenylenediamine with 2-, 3- and 4-nitronaphthalene-1,8-dicarboxylic anhydrides gives, in each case, an isomer mixture. Separation of the mixtures into the six isomeric mononitro-7H-benzimidazo[2,1-a]benz[de]isoquinolin-7-ones is described and the isomers characterised in respect of previously reported data on some isomers; ir and mass spectrum data are reported, the latter showing fragmentation ions which may be used in characterising dyes based on this chromophore. Other new derivatives of 7H-benzimidazo[2,1-a]benz[de]isoquinolin-7-one are also described.     

Methyl and Phenylmethyl 2-Acetyl-3-{[2-(dimethylamino)-1-(methoxycarbonyl)ethenyl]amino}prop-2-enoate in the Synthesis of heterocyclic systems: Preparation of 3-amino-4H-pyrido-[1,2-a]pyrimidin-4-ones

Methyl 2-acetyl-3-{[2-(dimethylamino)-1-(methoxycarbonyl)ethenyl]amino}prop-2-enoate ( 4 ) and phenyl-methyl 2-acetyl-3-{[2-(dimethylamino)-1(methoxycarbonyl)ethenyl]amino}prop-2-enoate ( 5 ) were prepared in three steps from the corresponding acetoacetic esters, and used as reagents for the preparation of N³-protected 3-amino-4H-pyrido[1,2-a]pyrimidin-4-ones 10 – 12 , 5H-thiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidin-5-one 13 , 4H-pyrido[1,2-a]-pyridin-4-one 19 and 2H-1-benzopyran-2-ones 20 – 23 . Free 3-amino-4H-pyrido[1,2-a]pyrimidin-4-ones 24 – 26 were prepared from 10 – 12 by removal of the 2-(methoxycarbonyl)-3-oxobut-1-enyl or 3-oxo-2-[(phenyl-methoxy)carbonyl]but-1-envl as N-protecting group by various methods.     

Pyridine-substituted hydroxythiophenes. I. Preparation of o-(2-, 3- and 4-pyridyl)-3-hydroxythiophenes.

2-(2-, 3- and 4-pyridyl)-3-hydroxythiophenes and 4-(2-, 3- and 4-pyridyl)- 3-hydroxythiophenes have been prepared by hydrogen peroxide oxidation of the corresponding boronic esters. In the former case the boronic esters were obtained in three steps from 2,3-dibromothiophene via the corresponding 3-bromo-2-pyridylthiophenes synthesized by Pd(0)-catalyzed coupling between 3-bromo-2-trimethylstannylthiophene and the corresponding bromopyridines. In the latter case the known isomeric pyridylthiophenes were converted into the corresponding boronic esters in three steps via tribromo- and 3-bromo-4-pyridylthiophenes successively. 4-(3- and 4-pyridyl) thiophen-2(5H)-ones were also obtained in the syntheses of 4-(3- and 4-pyridyl)-3-hydroxythiophene. They are suggested to arise from rearrangement during the halogen-metal exchange. Spectroscopic investigations by 1H NMR and IR show that these hydroxythiophene systems exist exclusively as enol forms.     

Crystal and Molecular Structure of 2H- and 2-(p-Tolylamino)-5,6-dimethylthieno[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4-ones

The crystal and molecular structure of 2H- and 2-(p-tolylamino)-5,6-dimethylthieno[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4-ones was investigated by X-ray diffraction. In crystals, the tautomeric form with a localized N(1)=C(2) bond is realized. A comparative analysis of the two structures using the literature data is given to examine the conjugation effect on the geometrical parameters of a pseudoaromatic pyrimidine system.     

Synthesis of 3-alkoxycarbonylaminomethylcarbonylamino-4-benzoyl-1,2-dihydropyridines and their cyclization to 5-phenyl-1,3,8,9-tetrahydro-2H-pyrido[3,4-e]-1,4-diazepin-2-ones

The regiospecific reaction of 3-benzyloxycarbonylaminomethylcarbonylamino-4-benzoylpyridine (6a) , or 3-t-butoxycarbonylaminomethylcarbonylamino-4-benzoylpyridine (6b) , with either acetyl chloride or ethyl chloroformate, and either n-butylmagnesium chloride or phenylmagnesium bromide afforded the respective 1-acetyl (or ethoxycarbonyl)-2-n-butyl (or phenyl)-3-benzyloxy (or t-butoxy) carbonylaminomethylcarbonylami-no-4-benzoyl-1,2-dihydropyridines 7 in 60-75% yield. Reaction of 1-acetyl (or ethoxycarbonyl)-2-n-butyl (or phenyl)-3-t-butoxycarbonylaminomethylcarbonyl-4-benzoyl-1,2-dihydropyridines 7b, 7f, 7d, 7h with trifluoroacetic acid gave the corresponding 5-phenyl-8-acetyl (or ethoxycarbonyl)-9-n-butyl (or phenyl)-1,3,8,9-tetrahydro-2H-pyrido[3,4-e]-1,4-diazepin-2-ones 8a, 8b, 8c, 8d respectively in 45–63% yield. N¹-Methylation of 5-phenyl-8-acetyl-9-n-butyl (or phenyl)-1,3,8,9-tetrahydro-2H-pyrido[3,4-e]-1,4-diazepin-2-ones 8a, 8b using sodium hydride and iodomethane yielded the corresponding N¹-methyl derivatives 9a (48%) and 9b (54%). Oxidation of 5,9-diphenyl-8-ethoxycarbonyl-1,3,8,9-tetrahydro-2H-pyrido[3,4-e]-1,4-diazepin-2-one (8d) using p-chloranil afforded 1,3-dihydro-5,9-diphenyl-2H-pyrido[3,4-e]-1,4-diazepin-2-one (10) . 5-Phenyl-8-acetyl-9-n-butyl-1,3,8,9-tetrahydro-2H-pyrido[3,4-e]-1,4-diazepin-2-one (8a) and the corresponding 8-ethoxycarbonyl analog 8c exhibited weak anticonvulsant activity indicating that 8a and 8c may be acting at the same site as the 7-halo-1,4-benzodiazepin-2-one class of compounds.     

Fused s-triazino heterocycles. XVI. 13H-1,3,7,8,12a, 13c-hexaazabenzo[de]naphthacene and 1,3,7,8,11b, 12,14,14d-octaazadibenzo[de,hi]naphthacene,two new ring systems

The reaction of 7,9-dibromo-5-tribromomethyl-2-t-butyl-4-cyano-1,3,6,9b-tetraazaphenalene ( 1a ) with 2-amino-5-picoline is shown to give 4,6-dibromo-2-t-butyl-13-imino-11-methyl-13H-1,3,7,8,12a,13c-hexaazabenzo[de]naphthacene ( 3 ) and the isomeric 7,9-dibromo-2-t-butyl-4-cyano-5N-(5-methyl-2-pyridyl)amino-1,3,-6,9b-tetraazaphenalene ( 2a ). A related annulation reaction of 7,9-dibromo-2-t-butyl-5-chloro-4-cyano-1,3,6,9b-tetraazaphenalene ( 1g ) with 2-amino-6-trimethylacetamidopyridine leads in two steps to 4,6-dibromo-2,13-di-t-butyl-1,3,7,8,11b,12,14,14d-octaazadibenzo[de,hi]naphthacene ( 4a ). The preparation of 1g , 5-azido-7,9-dibromo-2-t-butyl-4-cyano-1,3,6,9b-tetraazaphenalene ( 1c ) and the reaction of the latter with pyrrolidine leading to 7,9-dibromo-2-t-butyl-4-cyano-5-(1-pyrrolidino)-1,3,6,9b-tetraazaphenalene ( 1e ) are also reported. Attempted displacement of the azido-group on 1c by 2,6-diaminopyridine affords surprisingly 5-amino-7,9-dibromo-2-t-butyl-4-cyano-1,3,6,9b-tetraazaphenalene ( 1d ).     

Reactions of ethyl 4-chloro-5-pyrimidinecarboxylates with 2-aminopyridine. Synthesis of 5H-pyrido[1,2-A]pyrimido[5,4-e]pyrimidin-5-ones and 5H-pyrido[1,2-a]pyrimido[4,5-d]pyrimidin-5-ones and rearrangement of the former to the latter

5H-Pyrido[1,2-a]pyrimido[5,4-e]pyrimidin-5-ones IVa,b and 5H-pyrido[1,2-a]pyrimido[4,5-d]pyrimidin-5-ones Va,b were synthesized from ethyl 4-chloro-5-pyrimidinecarboxylate and 2-aminopyridine. The former compounds were obtained directly upon heating the reactants in ethanol, and the latter were prepared by the fusion of ethyl 4-(2-pyridylamino)-5-pyrimidinecarboxylates obtained as minor products from the above reaction. The angular fused cyclic compounds, IVa,b were rearranged to the linear tricycles, Vb-f upon heating with amines.     

Reaction of ketenes with N,N-disubstituted α-aminomethyleneketones. XII. Synthesis of N,N-disubstituted 4-amino-3-chloro-6-(2-methyl-l-propenyl) (2-phenylethenyl)-2H-pyran-2-ones

Cycloaddition of dichloroketene to N,N-disubstituted (E)-amino-5-methyl-1,4-hexadien-3-ones IV and (E,E)-1-amino-5-phenyl-1,4-pentadien-3-ones V occurred in moderate to good yield only in the case of aromatic N-substitution to give N,N-disubstituted 4-amino-3,3-dichloro-3,4-dihydro-6-(2-methyl-l-propenyl) (2-phenylethenyl)-2H-pyran-2-ones, which were dehydrochlorinated with DBN to afford in good yield N,N-disubstituted 4-amino-3-chloro-6-(2-methyl-propenyl)(2-phenylethenyl)-2H-pyran-2-ones. In the case of aliphatic N,N-disubstitution (dimethylamino group) of enaminones IV and V, the Cycloaddition led directly in low yield to 3-chloro-4-dimethylamino-6-(2-methyl-l-propenyl)(2-phenylethenyl)-2H-pyran-2-ones.     

Protonenresonanz- und Röntgenstrukturuntersuchungen an unsymmetrisch substituierten Aminoboranen. III—Substituentenabhängigkeit der Struktur

A number of unsymmetrically substituted N-methylaminoboranes, each with a phenyl ring at nitrogen and boron, were synthesized. The ratio of the cis-trans isomers has been investigated by means of ¹H NMR spectroscopy and its dependence on the size of the aromatic moieties and the second substituent on boron is discussed. The structures of the compounds were established from the position of the N-methyl signal and were based on X-ray structure determinations of (4-bromophenylmethylamino) chlorophenylborane and (4-bromo-2-methylphenylmethylamino)chloro(2-methylphenyl)borane. In the case of (methylphenylamino)chlorophenylborane, the isomer with the phenyl group in cis position is highly favoured (90%) in the thermal equilibrium. Substitution of one of the phenyl groups by a 2-methyl- or 2,6-dimethylphenyl group decreases the fraction of the cis isomer. The same occurs when the chlorine substituent at boron is replaced by bromine or the methyl group. In absolute terms, the trans isomers are energetically more stable than the cis isomers only if one of the substituents at boron is a methyl or a 2,6-dimethylphenyl group or if there is a 2-methylphenyl substituent both at the nitrogen and the boron atom. Steric hindrance and electronic repulsion are probably responsible for the observed substitution effects. In addition, these experiments show that the isomer favoured in the crystal also predominates in solution.     

Fused Polycyclic Nitrogen-Containing Heterocycles: IX. Oxidative Fusion of Imidazole Ring to 3-Benzoylquinoxalin-2-ones

3--Chlorobenzyl- and 3-benzoylquinoxalin-2-ones react with benzylamine in DMSO to give intermediate 3-(-benzyliminobenzylidene)quinoxalin-2-one which is capable of existing in several tautomeric forms. The subsequent oxidative cyclocondensation leads to imidazo[1,5-a]quinoxalin-4-one. This new procedure for building up imidazo[1,5-a]quinoxalin-4-one system has been applied to the synthesis of various bis(imidazo[1,5-a]quinoxalin-4-ones).     

Synthesis of pyrido[1,2-a]pyrimido[4,5-d]pyrimidin-5-ones. Cyclization reaction of 4-[(3-hydroxy-2-pyridyl)amino]-2-phenyl-5-pyrimidinecarboxylic acid with acetic anhydride

Treatment of 4-[(3-hydroxy-2-pyridyl)amino]-2-phenyl-5-pyrimidinecarboxylic acid (X) with acetic anhydride under refluxing conditions afforded 10-hydroxy-2-phenyl-5H-pyrido[1,2-a]-pyrimido[4,5-d]pyrimidin-5-one acetate (IX). The intermediate X was prepared from 4-chloro-2-phenyl-5-pyrimidinecarboxylic acid ethyl ester (V). The reaction of V with the sodium salt of 2-amino-3-hydroxypyridine at room temperature gave 4-(2-amino-3-pyridyloxy)-2-phenyl-5-pyrimidinecarboxylic acid ethyl ester (VI). Treatment of VI with a hot aqueous sodium hydroxide solution and subsequent acidification gave X. Involvement of 4-[(3-hydroxy-2-pyridyl)amino]-2-phenyl-5-pyrimidinecaroboxylic acid ethyl ester (VIII) (Smiles rearrangement product) as an intermediate in the above alkaline hydrolysis reaction of VI to X was demonstrated by the isolation of VIII and its subsequent conversion into X under alkaline hydrolysis conditions. Acetylation of VIII with acetic anhydride in pyridine solution gave 4-[(3-hydroxy-2-pyridyl)amino]-2-phenyl-5-pyrimidinecarboxylic acid ethyl ester acetate (XI), which afforded IX on fusion at 220°. This alternative synthesis of IX from XI supported the structural assignment of IX. Fusion of VI gave 10-hydroxy-2-phenyl-5H-pyrido[1,2-a]pyrimido]4,5-d]pyrimidin-5-one (VII). The latter was also obtained when VIII was fused at 210°. Acetylation of VII with acetic anhydride afforded IX.

The reaction of 2-amino-4-methyl-6-(2-pyridyl)-7,8-dihydroindazolo[4,5-d]thiazole, obtained by treating 3-methyl-4-oxo-1-(2-pyridyl)-4,5,6,7-tetrahydroindazole with pyridinium bromide perbromide and then with thiourea, and 2-amino-4-methyl-6-phenyl-7,8-dihydroindazolo[4,5-d]thiazole with 4-bromo-, 4-fluoro-, 4-dimethylamino-, 4-methoxy-, 3,4-dimethoxy-, and 3,4-methylenedioxybenzaldehydes, furfural, pyridinecarbaldehyde, and thiophenecarbaldehyde gave the corresponding Schiff bases. The products of the condensation of these aminothiazoles with cinnamaldehyde, 1-(2-pyridyl)- and 4-chloro-1-(2,4-difluorophenyl)-5-formyl-3-methyl-6,7-dihydroindazoles, 2-formyl-dimedone, and 2-formyl-1,3-indanedione were also obtained.

1,2,4-Triazines. 8. Reduction of 4-methyl-1,2,4-triazin-5(4H)-ones with sodium borohydride. Regioselective preparation of dihydro-1,2,4-triazin-5(4H)-ones

Reduction of 3-methylthio-1,2,4-triazin-5(4H)-one ( 1a ) with sodium borohydride afforded 3-methylthio-1,6-dihydrotriazin-5(4H)-one ( 2b ) selectively. 3-Methylthio-6-t-butyl-1,2,4-triazin-5(4H)-one ( 1d ) reacted with sodium borohydride to give mainly 6-t-butyl-2,3-dihydro-1,2,4-triazin-5(4H)-one ( 3d ). The reaction of various 4-methyl-1,2,4-triazin-5(4H)-ones with sodium borohydride and the influence of bulkiness and electronic effect of the substituents at the 3- and 6-positions upon the product ratio, are also discussed.     

Cycloaddition reactions of cyclic ketene-N,S-acetals with 1,2,4,5-tetrazines

Reaction of 3,6-diphenyl-, 3,6-bis(2-pyridyl)- and the unsubstituted 1,2,4,5-tetrazine with 4,5-dihydro-1-methyl-2-(methylthio)pyrrole ( 2 ) and 1-raethyl-2-(methylthio)-4.5,6,7-tetrahydroazepine ( 3 ) gives 4,7-di-R-2,3-dihydro-1-methylpyrrolo[2,3-d]pyridazine ( 4 , R = phenyl, 2-pyridyl, hydrogen) and 6,9-di-R-1-methyl-2,3,4,5-tetrahydropyridazino[4,5-6]azepine ( 5 ), R = phenyl, 2-pyridyl, hydrogen), respectively, in reasonable to good yields. The compounds 4 (R = phenyl, hydrogen) are converted into their corresponding 1-methylpyrrolo-[2,3-d]pyridazines 6 by reaction with potassium permanganate in butanone. Reaction of 3-phenyl-1,2,4,5-te-trazine with 2 and 3 leads to the exclusive formation of the 7-phenyl isomer 4d and 9-phenyl isomer 5d , respectively, indicating that the cycloaddition is regiospecific. The mechanism is discussed.
