Heteroaryl‐substuted semicarbazones: Synthesis and anticonvulsant activity of N‐(3‐methylpyridin‐2‐yl)‐substituted semicarbazones

A series of substituted N‐(3‐methylpyridin‐2‐yl) semicarbazones was designed and synthesized to meet the structural requirements essential for anticonvulsant activity. The structures of all the synthesized compounds were confirmed by means of spectral and elemental analysis. All the compounds were evaluated for their anticonvulsant activity by maximal electroshock seizures (MES) test, subcutaneous pentylenetetrazole (scPTZ) screen, subcutaneous strychnine (scSTY) pattern test and subcutaneous picrotoxin (scPIC) seizure threshold test along with the behavioral, and neurotoxicity evaluation. A number of N‐(3‐methylpyridin‐2‐yl) semicarbazone derivatives exhibited significant protection after intraperitoneal administration at the dose of 100 and 300 mg/kg. Compound N¹‐(3‐methylpyridin‐2‐yl)‐N⁴‐(isatin) semicarbazone ( 19 ) emerged as the most active analogue of the series, being more effective in most of the test models than ethosuximide and sodium valporate.

The bioassay indicates that some of the prepared compounds have a good selective anticancer activity.     

Synthesis and alkylation of 5‐(3‐chlorobenzo[b]thien‐2‐yl)‐4H‐1,2,4‐triazole‐3‐thiol under classical and microwave conditions. AM1 semiemperical calculations for investigating the regioselectivity of alkylation

Under microwave irradiation (MWI), 5‐(3‐chlorobenzo[b]thien‐2‐yl)‐4H‐1,2,4‐triazole‐3‐thiol ( 3 ) was synthesized in a good yield by intramolecular cyclization of the carbonyl thiosemicarbazide 2. A regioselective S‐alkylation of 3 with benzyl chloride or allyl bromide has been achieved by using triethylamine as a base, while other different basic conditions led to a mixture of bis(alkylated) derivatives N⁴, S‐ and S, N²‐, under both of classical and MWI conditions. The relative stabilities, charge densities, dipole moments and electronic energies of reactants, transition states and intermediates were calculated by the AM1 method and used for investigating the regioselectivity.     

Hetarenium salts from pentafluoropyridine. Syntheses,spectroscopic properties,and applications

Reaction of pentafluoropyridine with nucleophilic heteroaromatics such as 4‐(dimethylamino)pyridine, 4‐(pyrrolidin‐1‐yl)pyridine, 4‐(morpholin‐4‐yl)pyridine, 4‐aminopyridine, and 3,4‐diaminopyridine resulted in the formation of 4‐hetarenium substituted tetrafluoropyridines. The 4‐(dimethylamino)‐pyridinium derivative underwent substitution reactions with isopropanolate, isopropanethiolate, and benzylthiolate to F²,F³,O⁴,F⁵,F⁶‐ and O²,F³,O⁴,F⁵,F⁶‐pentasubstituted pyridines as well as their sulfur analogs. N‐Propylamine, isopropylamine, and piperidine formed 4‐amino‐N²,F³,F⁵,F⁶‐pentasubstituted pyridines in the presence of sodium amide as base, whereas morpholine gave the 4‐amino‐2,6‐bis‐morpholino‐substituted 3,5‐difluoropyridine. ¹⁹F, ¹⁵N, ¹³C, and ¹H nmr spectrocopy was performed to elucidate the structures of the substitution products.     

Design,synthesis and biological evaluation of novel 6,7,8,9‐tetrahydro‐2‐(2‐aryloxypyrimidin‐4‐yl)‐2H‐[1,2,4]triazolo[4,3‐a]azepin‐3(5H)‐ones

A series of novel 6,7,8,9‐tetrahydro‐2‐(2‐aryloxypyrimidin‐4‐yl)‐2H‐[1,2,4]triazolo[4,3‐a]azepin‐3(5H)‐ones were designed and efficiently synthesized.

Synthesis of benzo[c][1,8]phenanthrolin‐6‐one through cyclization of N‐(isoquinol‐5‐yl)‐2‐bromo‐benzamide derivatives

In the course of our search for compounds with potential antitumor properties we have undertaken the synthesis of benzo[c][1,8]phenanthroline derivatives. Our project required the preparation of 8,9‐dimethoxy benzo[c][1,8]phenanthrolin‐6‐ones. This was first attempted by the lithiumdiisopropylamide cyclization of N‐(isoquinol‐5‐yl)‐2‐bromo‐4,5‐dimethoxybenzamide. The reaction led to 40% of the unexpected internal Diels‐Alder adduct 3,4‐dimethoxy‐6H‐pyrido[2,3‐i]6,8a‐ethenoindolo[cd]isoquinoline‐2(1H)‐one, which arose from a benzyne intermediate. In a second and more successful approach, the internal biaryl palladium diacetate‐assisted coupling reaction of properly N‐protected N‐(isoquinol‐5‐yl)‐2‐bromo‐4,5‐dimethoxybenzamide was studied. The optimisation of the protecting group necessary for this procedure led to a 64% yield of the target compound starting from N,N‐(isoquinol‐5‐yl)‐bis‐(2‐bromo‐4,5‐dimethoxybenzamide).

Compounds 2a,b by treatment with bases cyclised to the corresponding 2‐amino‐4‐chlorothieno‐ and pyrrolo[2,3‐d]pyrimidine‐6‐carboxylates ( 3a,b ). Heating 2,4‐diamino‐6‐chloropyrimidine‐5‐carbaldehyde ( 5 ) with ethyl mercaptoacetate or methyl N‐methylglycinate gave 2,4‐diaminothieno[2,3‐d]‐ and 2,4‐diaminopyrrolo[2,3‐d]‐pyrimidine‐6‐carboxylates ( 6a,b ), whereas compound 5 with ethyl glycinate under the same reaction conditions afforded ethyl N‐(2,4‐diamino‐5‐formylpyrimidin‐6‐yl)glycinate ( 7 ). Treatment of 2,4‐diaminothieno[2,3‐d]pyrimidine‐6‐carboxylic acid ( 8a ) with 4‐methoxy‐, 3,4,5‐trimethoxyanilines or ethyl N‐(4‐aminobenzoyl)‐L‐glutamate in the presence of dicyclohexylcarbodiimide and 1‐hydroxybenzotriazole furnished the corresponding N‐arylamides 9‐11.

N‐methyl‐N‐(5‐nitropyrimidin‐4‐yl)glycinates ( 4a,i,j ) bearing amino and arylamino groups in the position 6 of the pyrimidine ring gave corresponding 6‐substituted‐4‐methylamino‐5‐nitrosopyrimidines ( 5a,i,j ). In the reaction of N‐(6‐alkylamino‐5‐nitropyrimidin‐4‐yl)‐N‐methylglycinates ( 4b,f‐h ) with sodium alkoxides the corresponding 6‐alkylamino‐4‐methylamino‐5‐nitrosopyrimidines ( 5b,f‐h ) and 5‐hydroxy‐8‐methyl‐5,8‐dihydropteridine‐6,7‐diones ( 6b,f‐h ) were formed. The main products of the reaction of N‐(6‐dialkylamino‐5‐nitropyrimidin‐4‐yl)‐N‐methylglycinates ( 4c‐e,k,l ), after work‐up, were the corresponding 6‐dialkylamino‐9‐methylpurin‐8‐ones ( 7c‐e,k,l ) and 8‐alkoxy‐6‐dialkylamino‐9‐methylpurines ( 9c,1,10c,l ). Methyl N‐methyl‐N‐{[6‐(2‐methoxy‐oxoethyl)thio]‐5‐nitropyrimidin‐4‐yl}glycinate ( 4n ) under the same conditions gave methyl 7‐methylaminothiazolo[5,4‐d]pyrimidine‐2‐carboxylate ( 13 ). Mechanisms of the observed transformations are discussed.     

Investigation on RAFT Polymerization of a Y‐Shaped Amphiphilic Fluorinated Monomer and Anti‐Fog and Oil‐Repellent Properties of the Polymers

A Y‐shaped amphiphilic fluorinated monomer, 1‐(1H,1H,2H,2H‐perfluorodecyloxy)‐3‐(3,6,9‐trioxadecyloxy)‐propan‐2‐yl acrylate has been synthesized and its polymerization by reversible addition–fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) homopolymerization has been investigated.

Synthesis,anti‐bacterial,anti‐asthmatic and anti‐diabetic activities of novel N‐substituted‐2‐(benzo[d]isoxazol‐3‐ylmethyl)‐1H‐benzimidazoles

Synthesis of a series of novel class of N‐substituted‐2‐(benzo[d]isoxazol‐3‐ylmethyl)‐1H‐benzimidazoles ( 4 ) by the condensation of o‐phenylenediamine ( 1 ) with benzo[d]isoxazol‐3‐yl‐acetic acid ( 2 ) and subsequent reactions with different types of electrophiles have been reported. Some compounds exhibited promising anti‐bacterial activity against Salmonella typhimurium, however poor activity against Staphylococcus aureus. The compound 4t was found to have high activity even at 1 μg/ml compared to Cephalexin against S. aureus. The biological activity against PDE‐IV for potential anti‐asthmatic effect and against DP‐IV and PTP‐1B for potential anti‐diabetic effects was disappointing.     

Synthesis of Thermo‐Responsive Polymers With Both Tunable UCST and LCST

New water‐soluble block copolymers of 2‐(2‐methoxyethoxy)ethyl methacrylate (MEO₂MA), oligo(ethylene glycol) methacrylate (OEGMA), and N‐(3‐(dimethylamino) propyl) methacrylamide (DMAPMA) (poly(OEGMA‐co‐MEO₂MA)‐b‐poly(DMAPMA)) were prepared via sequential reversible addition‐fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization. Selective quaternization of poly(DMAPMA) block gives poly(OEGMA‐co‐MEO₂MA)‐b‐poly((3‐[N‐(3‐methacrylamidopropyl)‐N,N‐dimethyl]ammoniopropane sulfonate)‐co‐N‐(3‐(dimethylamino) propyl) methacrylamide), such block copolymer exhibits double thermo‐responsive behavior in water, poly(MEO₂MA‐co‐OEGMA) block shows a lower critical solution temperature (LCST), and poly((3‐[N‐(3‐methacrylamidopropyl)‐N,N‐dimethyl]ammoniopropane sulfonate)‐co‐N‐(3‐(dimethylamino) propyl) methacrylamide) block shows a upper critical solution temperature (UCST). Both of LCST and UCST can be controlled: LCST could be tuned by the fraction of OEGMA units in poly(OEGMA‐co‐MEO₂MA), and UCST was found to be dependent on the degree of quaternization (DQ).

     

Cyclization of dialkylpropyn‐1‐yl(allyl)(3‐isopropenylpropyn‐2‐yl)ammonium bromides and water‐base cleavage of 2,2‐dialkyl‐5‐methyl‐2,6,7,7a‐tetrahydro‐1h‐isoindolium and 2,2‐dialkyl‐5‐methylisoindolinium bromides

Dialkylpropyn‐1‐yl(or allyl)(3‐isopropenylpropyn‐2‐yl)ammonium bromides under base‐catalyzed condition instantly undergo intramolecular cyclization. The cyclization of dialkylpropyn‐1‐yl(3‐isopropenylpropyn‐2‐yl)ammonium bromides leads to the formation of 2,2‐dialkyl‐5‐methylisoindolinium salts. In case of allyl analogs, instead of the expected 2,2‐dialkyl‐6‐methyl‐3a,4‐dihydroisoindolinium salts their isomeric forms ‐ 2,2‐dialkyl‐5‐methyl‐2,6,7,7a‐tetrahydro‐1H‐isoindolium bromides are obtained. In alkaline medium they are transform into the dihydroisoindolinium salts, the cleavage of which in two directions ‐ 1,2 and 1,6 leads to the mixture of isomeric dialkyl‐1,4‐dimethyl‐ and 2,4‐dimethylbenzyl‐amines. Study of the behavior of 2,2‐dialkyl‐5‐methylisoindolinium salts under conditions of water‐base cleavage showed, that only spiro[5‐methylisoindolyn]morpholinium bromide undergoes 1,2‐elimination, forming 5‐methylisoindoline 2‐vinyl ethyl ester.
