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.     

A Facile method to transform trans-4-carboxy-3,4-dihydro-3-phenyl- 1(2H)-isoquinolones to indeno[1,2-c]isoquinolines

The indeno[1,2-c]isoquinolines are an important class of topoisomerase I inhibitors with anticancer activity. The condensation of Schiff bases with homophthalic anhydrides provides a mixture of cis- and trans-4-carboxy-3,4-dihydro-3-phenyl-1(2H)isoquinolones. Although the cis products can be readily converted to indeno[1,2-c]isoquinolines with thionyl chloride, the trans products do not afford indeno[1,2-c]isoquinolines using this method. The present report describes a route for conversion of the trans diastereomers to indeno[1,2-c]isoquinolines using selenoxide elimination and Friedel-Crafts cyclization chemistry.

A sequential Pummerer-Diels-Alder route for the generation and trapping of furo[3,4-c]pyridines: synthesis of heterocyclic analogues of 1-arylnaphthalene lignans

The Pummerer reaction of an o-benzoyl-substituted pyridylmethyl sulfoxide generates an alpha-thiocarbocation, the interception of which by a neighboring keto functionality produces an alpha-thio-substituted furo[3,4-c]pyridine as transient intermediate; the latter undergoes a Diels-Alder cycloaddition with an added dienophile. Base-induced ring opening of the cycloadduct followed by aromatization gives an isoquinoline derivative that may be looked upon as a heterocyclic analogue of 1-arylnaphthalene lignans. This procedure occurs readily with electron-poor dienophiles and the entire sequence can be run in one pot. The facility of the sequential Pummerer-Diels-Alder reaction hinges on the experimental conditions, the best results being obtained with heptafluorobutyric anhydride as the triggering agent in toluene containing a catalytic amount of p-toluenesulfonic acid. In the absence of a dienophile it is possible to isolate and characterize a rather unstable furo[3,4-c]pyridine derivative. An intramolecular variant of this protocol is also feasible with use of unactivated alkenyl tethers of variable length; however, the bridged cycloadducts are unisolable in these cases as they undergo spontaneous ring opening and aromatization to yield cycloalka[h]isoquinolines. The usefulness of the sequential Pummerer-Diels-Alder reaction is further demonstrated through the synthesis of a heterolignan with a built-in lactone ring via oxidation of the initial [4+2]-cycloadduct followed by extrusion of phenyl sulfinate and elaboration of the resulting hydoxylated isoquinoline derivative.     

Synthesis of thiopyrano[4″,3″:4′,5′]pyrido[3′,2′:4,5]furo[3,2-d]pyrimidines

<正>Reactions of the 6-hydroxy-thiopyrano[3,4-c]pyridine-5-carbonitrile derivative 1 withα-halo-carbonyl compounds gave the ortho-substituted intermediates 2a-c which were converted into furo[2,3-b]thiopyrano[4,3-d]pyridines 3a-c by fusion of a furan moiety under basic conditions.Further cyclization of 3a-c led to a fusion of a pyrimidine ring,yielding the tetracyclic products 6,7 and 8.In addition,condensation of 6 with various aromatic aldehydes afforded the corresponding imines 9a,b.Mannich reaction of 7 gave products 10a,b.     

Three-component couplings for the synthesis of pyrroloquinoxalinones by azomethine ylide 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition chemistry

1-Methyl-3,4-dihydroquinoxalin-2(1H)-one was heated with a range of aldehydes to generate intermediate azomethine ylides which underwent [3 + 2] cycloaddition reactions with N-methyl or N-phenylmaleimide to give substituted tetrahydropyrroloquinoxalinones. Only one (racemic) stereoisomer was formed in each case and the stereochemical outcome was verified by single crystal X-ray analysis. The products from this multicomponent reaction could be oxidised with DDQ to the pyrroloquinoxalinones.     

Synthesis of azolo[5,4-c]isoquinolines

Two pathways are presented for the synthesis of pyrazolo[5,4-c]isoquinoline derivatives: recyclization of 1-methyl-3-phenyl-4-cyano-6,7-dimethoxybenzo[c]pyrylium perchlorate upon treatment with hydrazine, and Bischler-Napieralski cyclization of substituted 5-amino-4-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)pyrazoles. A derivative of a new heterocyclic system, isoxazolo[5,4-c]isoquinoline, has also been obtained upon heating 5-amino-3-phenyl-4-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)isoxazole in a mixture of acetic anhydride and perchloric acid.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 8, pp. 1092–1095, August, 1990.     

Synthesis of 1-hydroxy-substituted pyrazolo[3,4-c]- and pyrazolo[4, 3-c]quinolines and -isoquinolines from 4- and 5-aryl-substituted 1-benzyloxypyrazoles

1-Hydroxypyrazolo[3,4-c]quinoline (22), 1-hydroxypyrazolo[4, 3-c]quinoline (21), 1-hydroxypyrazolo[3,4-c]isoquinoline (20), and 1-hydroxypyrazolo[4,3-c]isoquinoline (19) were prepared from 1-benzyloxypyrazole (6), establishing the pyridine B-ring in the terminal step. The pyridine ring of pyrazoloquinolines 14 and 18 was formed via cyclization of a formyl group at C-4 or C-5 and an amino group of a 2-aminophenyl substituent at C-5 or C-4 in 1-benzyloxypyrazole. The pyridine ring of pyrazoloisoquinolines 5 and 9 was created via cyclization of a formyl group in a 2-formylphenyl substituent at C-4 or C-5 with an iminophosphorane group installed at C-5 or C-4 of 1-benzyloxypyrazole by lithiation followed by reaction with tosyl azide and then with tributylphoshine utilizing the Staudinger/aza-Wittig protocol. The 2-aminophenyl and the 2-formylphenyl substituent were introduced at C-5 or C-4 by regioselective metalation followed by transmetalation to the pyrazolylzinc halide and subsequent palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling with 2-iodoaniline or 2-bromobenzaldehyde. The order of reactions and use of protecting groups in the individual sequences have been optimized. The 1-benzyloxy-substituted pyrazoloquinolines and isoquinolines thus obtained were debenzylated by strong acid to the corresponding 1-hydroxy-substituted pyrazoloquinolines and isoquinolines 19-22.     

Synthesis of pyrazolone derivatives—XXI : On the reduction of 1-methyl-2-phenyl-1,2,3,10-tetrahydro-4H-pyrazolo[3,4-c][1] benzothiepin-3,4-dione with sodium borohydride

The selective reduction of α,β-unsaturated ketones and CC double bonds of pyrazolo[3,4-c][1]benzothiepins with sodium borohydride was studied. The reduction of 1-methyl-2-phenyl-1,2,3,10-tetrahydro-4H-pyrazolo[3,4-c][1]benzot (1) with sodium borohydride in refluxing methanol gave 1-methyl-2-phenyl-1,2,3,10-tetrahydro-4H-pyrazolo[3,4-c][1]benzothiepin-3-one (2). The mechanism of this unusual reaction in which the heterocyclic ketone was reduced to the corresponding methylene grouping with such a reagent was elucidated by the isolation of the following intermediates: 1-methyl-2-phenyl-1,2,3,3a, 10, 10a-hexahydro-4H-pyrazolo[3,4-c][1]benzothiepin-3,4-dione (6) and 1-methyl-2-phenyl-1,2,3,3a,10,10a-hexahydro-4H-pyrazolo[3,4-c][1]benzothiepin-3-one (4).     

Hydrogen-Bonding-Promoted Cascade Rearrangement Involving the Enlargement of Two Rings: Efficient Access to Polycyclic Quinoline Derivatives

An efficient cascade reaction of tryptamine-derived isocyanides with C,N-cyclic azomethine imines is described. The polycyclic pyrrolo[2,3-c]quinoline derivatives, which benefited from rearrangement process driven by hydrogen bonding, could be directly assembled in moderate to good yields (40–87 %) under metal-free and mild conditions. This transformation involved four new heterocyclic rings formations and uniquely, ring opening of indole as well as ring expansion of C,N-cyclic azomethine imine. Both experimental and DFT studies provided guidance on the in-depth insight into the reaction pathways and hydrogen bonding was identified to lower the free energy barrier in transition states. This work constitutes a rare example of tryptamine-derived isocyanide-based cascade reactions, and potentially could be a powerful synthetic strategy for accessing polycyclic analogues involved in natural products.

The reaction of difluorocarbene with azirines affords a new type of azomethine ylides, viz., strained aziriniodifluoromethanides. 1,3-Dipolar cycloadditions of ylides derived from 2-unsubstituted 3-arylazirines to dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate and aldehydes give derivatives of 2,2-difluoro-1-azabicyclo[3.1.0]hex-3-ene-3,4-dicarboxylic acids and 1,4-oxazin-3(4H)-ones, respectively. Ylides derived from 2-mono- and 2,2-disubstituted azirines undergo isomerization to 2-aza-1,3-diene derivatives. 2,2-Difluoro-1-azabicyclo[3.1.0]hex-3-enes are transformed into 2-fluoropyridine derivatives in high yields and react with amines to give 2,4-diamino-1-azabicyclo[3.1.0]hex-2-ene derivatives.

Synthesis of isoquinolines and heterocycle-fused pyridines via three-component cascade reaction of aryl ketones, hydroxylamine, and alkynes

An efficient one-pot synthesis of isoquinolines and heterocycle-fused pyridines by three-component reaction of aryl ketones, hydroxylamine, and alkynes is developed. The reaction involves condensation of aryl ketones and hydroxylamine, rhodium(III)-catalyzed C-H bond activation of the in situ generated aryl ketone oximes, and cyclization with internal alkynes.
