Synthesis and cytotoxic properties of derivatives of the tert-butyl ester of 7-alkylidene-3-methyl-3-cepheme-4-carboxylic acid

Sulfones of the tert-butyl esters of 7-arylmethylene-and 7-(2-furyl)methylene-3-methyl-3-cepheme-4-carboxylic acid were obtained by the condensation of the tert-butyl ester of 3-methyl-7-oxo-3-cepheme-4-carboxylic acid with arylmethylene-and 2-furylidenetriphenylphosphoranes and subsequent oxidation of the intermediate products by meta-chloroperbenzoic acid. The combination of the tert-butyl esters of 7E-bromomethylene-and 7,7-dibromomethylene-3-methyl-1,1-dioxo-3-cepheme-4-carboxylic acids with trimethylsilylacetylene under conditions of the Sonogashira reaction gave the tert-butyl esters of 3-methyl-1,1-dioxo-7E-(3-trimethylsilyl-2-propynylidene)-3-cepheme-4-carboxylic acid and 3-methyl-1,1-dioxo-7-[1,5-bis(trimethylsilyl)-1,4-pentadiyn-3-ylidene]-3-cepheme-4-carboxylic acid. The Vilsmeier reagent was used to incorporate the dimethylaminomethylene group at C-2 of the 7Z-and 7E-isomers of the tert-butyl ester of 7-(4-chlorophenyl)methylene-3-methyl-1,1-dioxo-3-cepheme-4-carboxylic acid. The cytotoxic properties of the derivatives of the tert-butyl ester of 7-alkylidene-3-methyl-3-cepheme-4-carboxylic acid in regard to cancer and normal cells in vitro depends on the structure and 7Z-or 7E-isomerism of the substituent in the 7-alkylidene group as well as the presence of a dimethylaminomethylene group at C-2 of the 3-cepheme system.

The reaction of 1 with diazomethane gave ethyl 1-methyl-4-nitropyrrole-2-carboxylate ( 2 ). Reaction of compound 2 with hydrazine hydrate afforded the corresponding hydrazide 3 . The reaction of 3 with formic acid yielded 1-(1-methyl-4-nitropyrrole-2-carboxyl)-2-(formyl)hydrazine ( 7 ). Refluxing of the latter with phosphorus pentasulfide in xylene yielded compound 6 in 40% yield. Reaction of compound 7 with phosphorus pentoxide afforded compound 9 . Reaction of compound 3 with 1,1′-carboxyldiimidazole in the presence of triethylamine yielded 2-(1-methyl-4-nitro-2-pyrrolyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazoline-4(H)-5-one ( 11 ). Refluxing compound 3 with cyanogen bromide in methanol gave compound 12 . Compound 13 could be obtained through the reaction of compound 3 with carbon disulfide in basic medium. Alkylation of compound 13 afforded the correspanding alkylthio derivative 14 . Reaction of 1-methyl-4-nitropyrrole-2-carboxylic acid ( 15 ) with thiosemicarbazide and phosphorus oxychloride gave 2-amino-5-(1-methyl-4-nitro-2-pyrrolyl)-1,3,4-thiadiazole ( 16 ). Sandmeyer reaction of compound 16 yielded 2-chloro-5-(1-methyl-4-nitro-2-pyrrolyl)-1,3,4-thiadiazole ( 17 ). Refluxing of the latter with thiourea afforded 2-(1-methyl-4-nitro-2-pyrrolyl)-1,3,4-thiadiazoline-4(H)-5-thione ( 18 ). Alkylation of compound 18 gave the corresponding alkylthio derivative 19 . Oxidation of the latter with hydrogen peroxide in acetic acid yielded 2-(1-methyl-4-nitro-2-pyrrolyl)-5-methylsulfonyl-1,3,4-thiadiazole ( 20 ).     

Sur l'orientation et les anomalies de l'acetylation des Bz-méthoxy nitro-2 benzofurannes

4-Methoxy-, 5-methoxy- and 7-methoxy-2-nitrobenzofurans have been acetylated via the Friedel-Crafts reaction under the same reaction conditions. 2-Nitrobenzofuran does not undergo acetylation while 6-methoxy-2-nitrobenzofuran only produces decomposition products. As a result of the positive acetylation reactions, 7-acetyl-4-methoxy-, 4-acetyl-5-methoxy- and 4-acetyl-7-methoxy-2-nitrobenzofuran have been prepared. As side products in the acetylation reactions, 4-methoxy-3-(4′-methoxy-2′-nitro-7′-benzofuranyl)-2,3-dihydrobenzofuran-2-one was isolated when 4-methoxy-2-nitrobenzofuran was the starting material and, likewise, when 5-methoxy-2-nitrobenzofuran was the starting material, 3-chloro-5-methoxy-2,3-dihydrobenzofuran-2-one was obtained. Furthermore, 5-methoxy-2-nitrobenzofuran participated in an unexpected chlorination leading to 4-chloro-5-methoxy-2-nitrobenzofuran.

The thermolysis of (Z)-methyl 3-(6-azido-3-chloro-1-methyl-4-oxo-1,4-dihydropyridazin-5-yl)-2-methylacrylate ( II ) provides a new synthetic route to pyrrolo[2,3-c-]pyridazines, specifically, methyl 3-chloro-1,6-dimethyl-4-oxo-1,4-dihydro-7H-pyrrolo[2,3-c]pyridazine-5-carboxylate ( III ) in 91% yield. Treatment of III with ozone provides an entry into the novel pyridazino[3,4-d][1,3]oxazine ring system, specifically, 3-chloro-1,7-dimethylpyridazino[3,4-d][1,3]oxazine-4,5-dione ( IV ) in 73% yield. Compound IV is smoothly hydrolyzed into 6-acetylamino-3-chloro-1-methyl-4-oxo-1,4-dihydropyridazine-5-carboxylic acid ( V ) which is readily recyclized into IV by dehydration with acetic anhydride. Furthermore, IV undergoes a facile reductive ring opening reaction with sodium borohydride to give 3-chloro-6-ethylamino-1-methyl-4-oxo-1,4-dihydropyridazine-5-carboxylic acid ( VI ) in 95% yield.     

Isolation of three new naturally occurring compounds from the culture of Micromonospora sp. P1068

Bioassay guided isolation of an antibacterial extract prepared from the fermentation broth of a Micromonospora sp. P1068 led to the isolation of eight compounds identified as (3R) 3,4',7-trihydroxy-isoflavanone (1), 3-hydroxydehydrodaidzein, daidzein (2), 3-methyl-1H-indole-2-carboxylic acid (3), 1H-indole-3-carboxaldehyde (4), 3-(p-hydroxyphenyl)-N-methylpropionamide, N-methylphloretamide (5), phenyl acetic acid (6), 2-hydroxy phenyl acetic acid (7) and 4-hydroxy-5-methoxy-benzoic acid (8). Compounds 1 and 5 were found to be novel chemical entities while 3 was isolated from a natural source for the first time. All compounds were evaluated for their antimicrobial activities against a panel of clinically significant microorganisms. Compound 4 was active against Staphylococcus aureus (MIC, 32 microg/ml), Enterococcus faecium (MIC, 32 microg/ml) and Escherichia coli (MIC, 64 microg/ml).     

4-Acetyl-1-(R-benzylidene)-3-(5-nitro-2-furfuryl)thiosemicarbazides — Carriers of synthones for obtaining thiazole and triazole rings

The corresponding thiosemicarbazonium salts, which form 4-acetyl- and 2,4-di-acetyl-1-benzylidene-3-(5-nitro-2-furfuryl)thiosemicarbazides with acetic anhydride, were obtained by the reaction of 5-nitrofurfuryl bromide with 1-benzyl-idenethiosemicarbazides. Under the influence of bases the monoacetylated derivatives undergo cyclization to the corresponding 2-benzylidenehydrazino-5-(5-nitro-2-furyl)thiazoles. Intramolecular cyclization of the monoacetylated products to 3-methyl-5-[(5-nitro-2-furfuryl)thio]-1,2,4-triazole, which is accompanied by the elimination of the corresponding benzaldehyde, occurs in the presence of hydrochloric acid.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 5, pp. 699–704, May, 1988.

Different specificities in the bromination of 6-(2-furyl)imidazo[2,1-b]thiazole and its derivatives with 1 mole of bromine

The action of 1 mole of bromine on 6-(2′-furyl)imidazo[2,1-b]thiazole, its 2-methyl-, 3-methyl-, and 2,3-dimethyl-substituted derivatives, and their hydrobromides in chloroform and glacial acetic acid was studied. The bromination of bases containing a methyl group in the 3 position leads primarily to the 5′-derivatives with respect to the furan ring in chloroform, whereas in the remaining cases 5-bromo derivatives with respect to the imidazothiazole system are formed. Compounds of the latter type are formed by the action of bromine in glacial acetic acid or of sodium hypobromite in alkaline media on the bases. The hydrobromides are brominated in both acetic acid and chloroform, regardless of the substituents in the thiazole ring, primarily in the 5′ position of the furan ring. The structures of the bromination products were proved by means of alternative syntheses, thin-layer chromatography, and the PMR spectra.
