Zur Kenntnis der Reaktionsfähigkeit von 4-Hydrazino-2,5-di-tert.-butyl-2-methyl-2H-imidazol

4-Hydrazino-2.5-di-tert.-Butyl-2-methyl-2H-imidazole (1) reacts with aldehydes and ketones to give condensation products (2 a-1). The reaction of1 with acyl chlorides and dicarboxylic acid chlorides gives rise to the corresponding 4-acylhydrazino-2H-imidazoles (3 a, b) and dicarboxylic-bis(imidazole-4-yl)-hydrazides (4 a-c) resp. Heating1 with acetyl bromide, ethyl orthoformate and 3-bromo-4-methyl-2-pentanone affords new condensedring systems5 a, b and7, resp.     

Zur Synthese der 4-Dialkylamino-5,6-dihydrothiopyran-2-thione

4-Dialkylamino-5,6-dihydrothiopyrane-2-thiones3, 9, 10 are synthesized in good yields by reaction of α,β-unsaturated methylketones with dialkylammonium-dialkyldithiocarbamates5 or carbon disulfide and secondary amines. The reaction takes place via the corresponding oxobutyl-N,N-dialkyldithiocarbamates13 and dialkylaminobutenyl-N,N-dialkyldithiocarbamates14. Cyclohexenylmethylketone11 reacts with5 to give 4-dialkylaminohexahydrothiochromane-2-thiones12. In dimethylformamide or diethyl-formamide as solvents aminolysis take place and 4-dimethylamino or 4-diethylaminothiopyrane-2-thiones are also formed. Instead of 3-alken-2-ones6 also 4-hydroxy-2-alkanones7 and methylketones8 (such as acetone), which readily undergo the aldol condensation can be used for the preparation of thiopyrane-2-thiones.     

Synthese von 1-substituierten 4-Amino-2(1H)-pyridinthionen durchDimroth-Umlagerung aus 2,4-Diaminothiopyranyliumhalogeniden

4-Amino-2-alkylimino-2H-thiopyranes (5) and 4-amino-2-alkylaminothiopyranylium halogenides (4) resp. on heating in refluxingDMFA are rearranged in the presence of Na-ethylate to 1-alkyl-4-aminodihydro-2(1H)-pyridinethiones (2). Also 2-methylthiothiopyranylidenammonium iodides (6) and 2-methylthio-4H-thiopyrane-4-one (7) can be transformed into 1-substituted 2(1 H)-pyridinethiones (2) by heating in prim. amines. On treatment with alkali. 4-dimethylaminothiopyranylium iodide (4 a) is transformed into its base5 a and hydrolyzed to8. 5a and8 are rearranged to the pyridinethiones2 a and the tautomers9 A,B. The structure of the rearranged pyridinethiones2 was proved by the1-phenylderivate2 a. Thus 4-methyl-3-penten-2-on reacts with phenylthiourea via the phenylimino-1,3-thiazine (14) to give 3-phenyl-2(1H)pyridinethione (15).15 is transformed by themethylpyrimidine-pyridine-rearrangement to the 1-phenylpyridinethione2 a. The mechanism of theDimroth-reaction of 2-alkylimino-2H-thiopyranes (5) and the stereochemistry of the1-benzyl-6-phenyl-2(1H)-pyridinethiones2 are discussed.     

Chemie des 5,7-Dihydroxy-2H-thiopyrano[2,3-b]pyridin-4(3H)-ons

Hydrolysis of the 4-alkyliminothiopyrano[2,3-b]pyridinedioles (5) and 4-alkylaminothiopyrano[2,3-b]pyridones (6) resp. with 10% NaOH gives 5,7-dihydroxy-2H-thiopyrano[2,3-b]pyridine-4(3H)-one (7).7 can be obtained in better yield by reaction of 4-dimethylamino-2(1H)-pyridinethione (8) with bistrichlorphenylethylamlonate (2). Aminolysis of7 affords the two isomeric products5 and6. On treatment with hydrazines,7 reacts only to 4-hydrazonoderivatives5. By heating in bromobenzene5d is cyclisized to 1H-5,1,2,6-thiatriaza-acenaphthylen-7-ol (11). On methylation with methyljodide5,6 and7 furnish the 7-methoxyproducts13,14 and12. By heating in 20% NaOH7 is transformed into the 2-thioxo-3-pyridylmethylketone16 A and its tautomer, 2-mercapto-3-pyridylmethylketone16 B. The structures of5,6 and7 are discussed.     

Acylgruppenwanderung in N-Acyl-2H-imidazol-4(3H)-thionen

On acylating 2H-imidazole-4(3H)-thiones the orange to violet crystalline N-1-acyl-2H-imidazole-4(3H)-thiones1 a–18 a are formed, the thermal stability of which depends on the acyl group and the substituents in the heterocyclic ring system. Thus the N-aroyl-2,2,5-trimethyl-2H-imidazole-4(3H)-thiones13 a–16 a are stable on being heated to the melting point, while1 a–12 a are converted quantitatively to the corresponding S-aroyl-2H-imidazole-4-thiols1–12. Rearrangement is faster when the heterocyclic ring bears bulky substituents. The aliphatic N-acyl compounds17 a and18 a are thermally unstable. This N S acyl group migration, described here for the first time, is shown to proceed by an intermolecular mechanism.

(2E,3Z)-2-(1-Methyl-2,5-dioxoimidazolidin-4-ylidene)-3-[(arylamino- or heteroarylamino)methylene]succinate 5 obtained by [2+2] cycloaddition of (5Z)-5-[(dimethylamino)methylene]-3-methylimidazolidine-2,4-dione (1) and dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate (2) followed by substitution of the dimethylamino group with aromatic or heteroaromatic amines, afforded by heating in ethanol in the presence of potassium hydroxide, potassium salts 6. Acidification of 6 with hydrochloric acid afforded mixtures of (E)- and (Z)-isomers of methyl 4-(2-hydroxy-1-methyl-5-oxo-1H-imidazol-4(5H)-ylidene)-5-oxo-1-phenyl-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrrole-3-carboxylates. On the other hand, alkylation of compounds 6 with methyl iodide or benzyl bromide produced the corresponding methyl (E)-4-(2-methoxy- or 2-benzyloxy-1-methyl-5-oxo-1H-imidazol-4(5H)-ylidene)-5-oxo-1-phenyl-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrrole-3-carboxylates 9, derivatives of a new triazafulvalene system.     

Chinolizine und Indolizine,XIII. Acyl-2-hydroxy-4-chinolizinone

The reaction of 2-picolylketones (1 a, b) with reactive trichlorophenyl malonates (2 a–f) leads to 1-acyl-2-hydroxy-4-quinoliziones (3 a–i) which can be easily deacylated by boiling hydrochloric acid yielding 4-quinolizinones4 a–f. The 3-acetyl-2-hydroxy-4-quinolizinones6 and8 are obtained byKlosa-Ziegler acylation of4 a and7, respectively. The reaction of the acetyl compound3 a with acetic anhydride yields the 2-pyrone derivative9, whereas the propionyl derivative3 g yields the 4-pyrone10 under the same conditions. Nitration of3 e does not give the 1-nitro derivative12 but rather the 1,3-dinitro compound11.     

Reactions of nitrosoarenes containing electron-withdrawing substituents with coordinated CO. Synthesis and structure of complexes Pd2(OAc)2(p-ClC6H4N[p-ClC6H3NO])2 and Pd2(OAc)2(o-ClC6H4N[o-ClC6H3NO])2

The reaction of tetranuclear Pd₄(μ-COOCH₃)₄(μ-CO)₄ cluster (1a) with p- and o-chloronitrosobenzenes was found to give dinuclear nitrosoamide complexes, Pd₂(OAc)₂(p-ClC₆H₄N[p-ClC₆H₃NO])₂ (4) and Pd₂(OAc)₂(o-ClC₆H₄N[o-ClC₆H₃NO])₂ (5), respectively. The formation of complexes 4 and 5 is accompanied by evolution of CO₂, resulting from oxidation of CO coordinated in cluster 1. Complexes 4 and 5 were characterized by elemental analysis and IR and ¹H NMR spectroscopy; their structures were studied by EXAFS. The reactions of dinuclear complex 4 with molecular hydrogen and CO were studied. The major products of reduction of 4 with hydrogen include metallic palladium, acetic acid, cyclohexanone, and molecular nitrogen. Treatment of complex 4 with CO under mild conditions (1 atm, 20 °C) affords p-chlorophenyl isocyanate.

3-(Naphthalen-1-ylmethylene)-5-phenylfuran-2(3H)-one 1 was prepared and converted into a variety of heterocyclic systems of synthetic and biological importance. Benzylamine was reacted with furanone 1 to afford compounds 2 and 3 according to the reaction conditions. Butanamide 2 was reacted with thionyl chloride or thiourea to give derivatives 4 and 5, respectively. Compound 3 was reacted with ethyl cyanoacetate to give the corresponding pyrrolopyridine derivative 6. Treatment of 1 with hydrazine hydrate afforded compounds 7 and 8 according to the reaction conditions. Also, compound 1 was reacted with phenyl hydrazine, hydroxyl amine, malononitrile or thiourea to give compounds 9–12, respectively. Cyclization of 7 with ethoxymethylene-malononitrile, ethyl-(ethoxymethylene)cyanoacetate, carbon disulphide or acetylacetone afforded the corresponding compounds 13–16, respectively. Condensation of 7 with p-nitrobenzaldehyde gave the corresponding hydrazone 17, which was treated with thioglycolic acid or chloroacetyl chloride to give compounds 18 and 19, respectively. Also, most of the prepared products were tested for anti-avian influenza virus and revealed promising antiviral activity against H5N1 virus [A/Chicken/Egypt/1/2006 (H5N1)] by determination of both TC ₅₀ and ED ₅₀ and confirmed by plaque reduction assay on MDCK cells. Compounds 7, 8, 11, 12 and 13 showed the highest effect compared with the other tested compounds.

(5Z,5′Z)-3,3′-(1,4-Phenylenebis(methylene)-bis-(5-arylidene-2-thioxothiazolidin-4-one) derivatives (5a-r) have been synthesized by the condensation reaction of 3,3′-(1,4- or 1,3-phenylenebis(methylene))bis(2-thioxothiazolidin-4-ones) (3a,b) with suitably substituted aldehydes (4a-f) or 2-(1H-indol-3-yl)2-oxoacetaldehydes (8a-c) under microwave conditions. The bis(2-thioxothiazolidin-4-ones) were prepared from the corresponding primary alkyl amines (1a,b) and di-(carboxymethyl)-trithiocarbonyl (2). The 2-(1H-indol-3-yl)-2-oxoacetaldehydes (8a-c) were synthesized from the corresponding acid chlorides (7a-c) using HSnBu₃.

4-Alkylaminopyridinethiones · HCl (1 · HCl) react with bis-trichlorethylmalonate (3) predominantly to 5-alkylamino-4H-thiopyrano [2,3-b]pyridine-4-ones (6). With alcohols in the presence of acids at 25°C6 undergoes an alcoholysis to the corresponding alkyl-3-(2-thioxo-3-pyridyl)propionates (9). On heating in dilute alkali6 is hydrolysed via 4-alkylamino-2-thioxopyridyl-propylketones (11) to the tautomers, 4-hydroxy-2-thioxopyridylpropylketone (12 A) and 2-thioxo-3-(1-hydroxybutenyl)-4-piperidon (12 B), resp. On refluxing with alkali the ethyl-pyridylpropionate9 a is cyclisized to the 1-alkyl-1,6-naphthyridine-2(1H)-one (4 a), but boiling in ethanolic acid hydrolyses9 a via the pyridylpropionic acid10 to 4-alkyl-aminopyridylpropylketone (11 a). The latter can be transformed via the tautomers12 A,B and 2-methylthio-3-pyridylpropylketone (13) to the 4-hydroxy-3-butyrylpyridone (14 A) and its tautomer, 3-(1-hydroxy-butenyl)-piperidine-2,4-diones (14 B) resp. The structure of14 A,B is established by reaction of 4-isopropylamino-2(1H)-pyridone (2) with butanoylchloride to the 4-isopropylamino-3-butyrypyridone (15) and hydrolysis of15 to the tautomers14 A,B.     

Reaktion der Tautomeren 4-Hydroxy-2H-thiopyran-2-thion und 2-Mercapto-4H-thiopyran-4-on mit aliphatischen Aldehyden

5,6-Dihydro-4-hydroxy-6,6-dimethyl-2H-thiopyrane-2-thione (1 I) and its tautomer 2-mercapto-4H-thiopyrane-4-one (1 II) react with aliphatic aldehydes under different reaction conditions to yield mainly 5R-7,8-dihydro-2H,5H,6H-thiopyrano[2,3—b:6,5—b′]-bisthiopyran-4,6(3H)-diones2 and 2′R,4′R-5,6,6′,7′-tetrahydro-2-thioxo-spiro(4H-thiopyran-3(2H), 3′(4′H)-2′H,5′H-thiopyrano-[2,3—b]-thiopyran)-4,5′-diones3.

An X-ray crystal structure analysis was carried out on3 b to establish its configuration and conformation.     

Über die Synthese von substituierten Thieno[3,4—b]chinolin-9(4H)-onen

The synthesis of in position 4 substituted thieno[3.4-b]quinoline-9(4H)-ones (6) by aromatization of 1.4-dihydrothieno[3.4-b]quinoline-9(3H)-ones (4) and attempts to cyclize 4-phenylamino-3-thiophenecarboxylic acid (3c), or derivatives thereof, to compounds of type6 are described.     

Cyclisierung von 3-Acylmethylthio-4-cyan-2H-isothiazol-5-thionen

The title compounds2 cyclize on mild conditions to the intermediate 7-cyano-thiazolo[3,2-b]isothiazole-6-thiones3 which are converted immediately into the 1,2,4-trithiolane-3,5-diylidene-(thiazole-2-yl)-acetonitriles4 accompanied by extrusion of sulphur. The cyclization of the 4-cyano-5-methylthio-3-phenacylthio-isothiazole (6) yields the 7-cyano-6-methylthio-thiazolo[3,2-b] isothiazoliumsalt7 which undergoes reductive ring opening by hydrazine hydrate to yield methyl (4-phenyl-thiazolin-2-ylidene)-cyanodithioacetate (8).     

Synthese von (5,10)-(7,8)-Bisepoxiden aus α- und β-4-Phenyl-1,2,4-triazolin-3,5-dion-Addukten von Vitamin D3 und Röntgenstrukturanalyse eines der Benzoylderivate

Oxidation of the α- and β-4-phenyl-1,2,4-triazolin-3,5-dione adducts of vitamin D₃ (2 and1) withMCPBA yields two diastereomeric mixtures of the (5,10)-(7,8)-dioxiranes3 a,3 b,3 c and4 a,4 b respectively. The corresponding benzoates5 a,5 b,6 a and6 b were prepared and the X-ray crystal structure of5 b was determined. This analysis proved5 b to be the (5R, 1 OS)-(7R, 8R)-dioxirane of the β-resp. (6S)-4-phenyl-1,2,4-triazolin-3,5-dione adduct1 of vitamin D₃.     

Synthesis and characterization of 2-alkyl -5-{4-[(3-nitrophenyl-5-isoxazolyl)methoxy]phenyl}-2H-tetrazoles

Heteroaryl substituted analogs of antirhnoviral (A), was prepared by a convergent approach. 3-Nitrophenyl-5- bromooromethylisoxazoles 5a–b were synthesized by [3+2] cycloaddition of 3-(benzoyloxy)-propyne 2 to in situ generated arylnitrile oxides followed by deprotection of cycloadducts 3a–b and bromination of the resulting alcohols 4a–b. Coupling of 3- nitrophenyl-5-bromooromethylisoxazoles (5a–b) with 4-[5-(2-alkyl-2H-tetrazolyl)]phenols (6a–d) in N-methylpyrrolidinone under mild conditions afforded a new series of 2-alkyl-5-{4-[1-(3-nitrophenyl-5-isoxazolyl)methyloxy]phenylr}-2H-tetrazoles (7a–h) in high yields. The structures of the synthesized compounds were confirmed by their ¹H NMR, Mass spectral, and Elemental Analysis data.     

Chinolizine und Indolizine,XIV Umlagerungen von Heterocyclen,X Ringumwandlungen von 1-Acyl-2-hydroxy-4-chinolizinonen

By heating with ammonia or aniline 1-acyl-2-hydroxy-4-quinolizinones (1 a–e) are transformed to 4-hydroxy-5-(2-pyridyl)-2-pyridones (3 a–f), with4 a–d as minor sideproducts. The structure of the rearranged compound3 f was established by an independent synthesis starting with6 and7. The reaction of1 a, d with ethyl β-aminocrotonate (β-ACE) yields pyrono-quinolizinones8 a, b and pyronopyridones9 a, b as byproducts; the latter are obtained in high yield by reaction of3 a, b with β-ACE. The ringtransformation reaction cannot be extended to 1-methoxycarbonyl-quinolizinones, such as10; in this case 2-amino-4-quinolizinone11 is the main product of the reaction with ammonia.     

Syntheses,structures, and luminescent properties of zinc(II) complexes based on imidazole derivative

Two new Zn(II) coordination complexes [ZnL₂(SCN)₂] (I) and [ZnL₂Cl₂] (II) have been pre-pared by self-assembly of corresponding metal salts with (E)-2-(3-(4-(1H-imidazole-1-yl)styryl)-5,5-dimethylcyclohexo-2-enylidene) malononitrile (L) and characterized by IR spectrum, elemental analysis and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Complexes I and II are two-dimensional (2D) networks with different topology structures. The luminescence properties were investigated.     

Synthesis and crystal structures of zirconium(IV) nitrate complexes (NO2)[Zr(NO3)3(H2O)3]2(NO3) 3, Cs[Zr(NO3)5], and (NH4)[Zr(NO3)5](HNO3)

The zirconium nitrate complexes (NO₂)[Zr(NO₃)₃(H₂O)₃]₂(NO₃)₃ (1), Cs[Zr(NO₃)₅] ((2), (NH₄)[Zr(NO₃)₅](HNO₃) (3), and (NO₂)_0.23(NO)_0.77[Zr(NO₃)₅] ((4) were prepared by crystallization from nitric acid solutions in the presence of H₂SO₄ or P₂O₅. The complexes were characterized by X-ray diffraction. The crystal structure of 1 consists of nitrate anions, nitronium cations, and [Zr(NO₃)₃(H₂O)₃]⁺ complex cations in which the Zr^IV atom is coordinated by three water molecules and three bidentate nitrate groups. The coordination polyhedron of the Zr^IV atom is a tricapped trigonal prism formed by nine oxygen atoms. The island structures of 2 and 3 contain [Zr(NO₃)₅]^? anions and Cs⁺ or NH₄ ⁺ cations, respectively. In addition, complex 3 contains HNO₃ molecules. Complex 4 differs from (NO₂)[Zr(NO₃)₅] in that three-fourth of the nitronium cations in 4 are replaced by nitrosonium cations NO⁺, resulting in a decrease in the unit cell parameters. In the [Zr(NO₃)₅]^? anion involved in complexes 2–4, the Zr^IV atom is coordinated by five bidentate nitrate groups and has an unusually high coordination number of 10. The coordination polyhedron is a bicapped square antiprism.     

Synthesis, reactions and antineoplastic activity of 3-(2-oxo-2H-chromen-3-yl)-2-oxo-2H,5H-pyrano[3,2-c]chromene derivatives

The key 3-(2-oxo-2H-chromen-3-yl)-2-oxo-2H,5H-pyrano[3,2-c]chromen-5-yl acetates 3 were synthesized in high yields by cyclocondensation of 4-oxo-4H-chromen-3-carbaldehydes 1 with coumarin-3-acetic acids 2 under mild conditions. The reaction pathway involves aldol condensation and subsequent intramolecular lactonization to afford 2-oxo-2H,5H-pyrano[3,2-c]chromene skeleton 3. Further treatment of acetates 3 with alcohols, water or nitrogen containing compounds led to 5-alkoxy-, 5-hydroxy- or 5-acylamino-2H,5H-pyrano[3,2-c]chromen-2-ones 4-6 via nucleophilic substitution of acetyloxy group at C-5. Acetates and hydroxyl derivatives 3 and 5 undergo facile rearrangement in an acid medium yielding 5-hydroxypyrano[2,3-b]chromen-2(10aH)-ones 7. Twelve prepared compounds were evaluated on their antineoplastic activities on 60 human tumour cell line panels in NCI USA. The obtained biological results confirmed that 3-(2-oxo-2H-chromen-3-yl)-2H,5H-pyrano[3,2-c]chromen-2-one represents a new leading skeleton suitable for further antitumour activity study.
