1,2,3,9a-Tetrahydro-9H-imidazo[1,2-a]indoles

When derivatives of 1,2,3,9a-tetrahydro-9H-imidazo[1,2-a]indol-2-one or 1-carbamoylmethyl-2-methylene-2,3-dihydroindole are reacted with lithium aluminum hydride, derivatives of 1,2,3,9a-tetrahydro-9H-imidazo[1,2-a]indole are formed. Under the same conditions 1-(N-phenylcarbamoylmethyl)-2-methylene-2,3-dihydroindole is not cyclized to an imidazo[1,2-a]indole. WHen treated with proton acids imidazo[1,2-a]indoles are converted to 3H-indolium salts. Opening of the imidazolidine ring is also found when imidazo[1,2-a]indole is acylated with benzoyl chloride.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 2, pp. 227–230, February, 1987.

Abstract

The study of the chemical behavior of some benz[b] indeno[1,2-e] [1,4] thiazine derivatives was accomplished. Different reactivities were observed for 4b,5-dihydrobenz[b]-indeno[1,2-e] [1,4] thiazine-10α(11H)-ol (3) and 5-ethyl-4b,5-dihydrobenz[b] indeno[1,2-e]-[1,4] thiazine-10α(11H)-ol (5); 3 is reoxidated to benz[b] indeno[1,2-e] [1,4] thiazine-10α(11H)-ol (2), while 5 undergoes transposition and oxidation to spiro[3-ethylbenzo-thiazol-2(3H), 1′-indan-2′-one] (6). Possible pathways for these transformations are discussed.

A convenient method for the synthesis of furo[2,3-e]pyrrolo[1,2-a][1,4]diazepin-9-one is described. It has been C-alkylated with amine (piperidine, morpholine, 4-methylpiperazine) and N-alkylated with alkyl halides (methyl iodide and benzyl chloride).     

Condensation of 1-Substituted 1,2,3,9a-Tetrahydro-9H-imidazo[1,2-a]indol-2-one Derivatives with Aromatic Aldehydes

Condensation of 1-alkyl-, 1-allyl-, and 1-benzyl-1,2,3,9a-tetrahydro-9H-imidazo[1,2-a]indol-2-ones with benzaldehydes in acetic acid and subsequent treatment of the reaction mixture with potassium hydroxide afforded 1-substituted 9a-(2-phenylethenyl)-1,2,3,9a-tetrahydro-9H-imidazo[1,2-a]indol-2-one derivatives. 1-Methyl- and 1-ethyl-9a-[2-(4-dimethylaminophenyl)ethenyl]-1,2,3,9a-tetrahydro-9H-imidazo[1,2-a]indol-2-ones were synthesized by alkylation of 9a-[2-(4-dimethylaminophenyl)ethenyl]-1,2,3,9a-tetrahydro-9H-imidazo[1,2-a]indol-2-one with methyl- and ethyl iodides in DMF in the presence of a strong base.

A reinvestigation of the synthesis of 3H-[1,2]diazepino[5,6-b]indoles. The synthesis of pyrido[4,3-b]indoles

Recently reported [1] syntheses of 6-methyl-1,2,4,5-tetrahydro-1,4-dioxo-3H[1,2]diazepino[5,6-b]indole ( 5 ) and 4-hydroxy-6-methyl-3H[1,2]diazepino[5,6-b]indole ( 12 ) were reinvestigated and shown to be in error. The correct assignments for these respective structures are 3-amino-1,9-dihydro-9-methyl-2H-pyrido[4,3-b]indol-2,4(3H)-dione ( 6 ) and 3-amino-3,9-dihydro-9-methyl-2H-pyrido[4,3-b]indol-2-one ( 13 ). Condensation of 6 and 13 with p-nitrobenzaldehyde produced benzylidene derivatives, which confirmed the presence of the amino groups.     

Synthesis and properties of some tetracyclic derivatives of 9H-carbazole, 10,11-dihydro-5H-dibenz[b,f]azepine,and 5,11-dihydrodibenz[b,e] [1,4]oxazepine

Synthesis of novel imidazo[1,2-a]pyrrolo[2,1-c][1,4]benzodiazepines and pyrimido[1,2-a]pyrrolo[2,1-c][1,4]benzodiazepines

Several 1 1-amino-5H-pyrrolo[2,1-c][1,4]benzodiazepines have been used as starting material to prepare a number of derivatives of 9H-imidazo[1,2-a]pyrrolo[2,1-c][1,4]benzodiazepines and 10H-pyrimido[1,2-a]pyrrolo[2,1-c][1,4]benzodiazepines. The imidazole nucleus was built by reaction of amidines with ethyl bromopyruvate or aminoacetaldehyde dimethylacetal. Several derivatives of imidazo[1,2-a]pyrrolo[2,1-c][1,4]benzodiazepine have been prepared by formylation of the pyrrole ring followed by formation of thioamides. Condensation of 11-amino-5H-pyrrolo[2,1-c][1,4]benzodiazepines with diethyl ethoxymethylenemalonate afforded intermediate diesters which were transformed into the corresponding 10H-pyrimido[1,2-a]pyrrolo[2,1-c]-benzodiazepines.     

[1] Benzofuro [2,3-d] pyridazines II. Etude des benzofuropyridazones

The synthesis of 1,2-dihydro[1]benzofuro[2,3-d]pyridazin-1-one and 3,4-dihydro [1]benzofuro[2,3-d]pyridazin-4-one was accomplished by the eyclization of appropriately carbonyl-substituted benzofuran derivatives. Another successful synthetic route was provided using 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro[1]benzofuro[2,3-d]pyridazine-1,4 dione and 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro[1]benzofuro[2,3-d]pyridazin-4-one. The structure of a nitrobenzofuropyridazin-4-one was established using nmr and the nuclear Overhauser effect.     

Research on imidazo[1,2-a]benzimidazole derivatives.

3-Alkoxycarbonyl-2-arylimidazo[1,2-a]benzimidazoles were synthesized by alkaline cleavage of 3-trichloromethyl ketones of the imidazo[1,2-a]benzimidazole series, which are formed by acylation of this three-ring system with trichloroacetyl chloride. The same compounds were also obtained by esterification of the corresponding 3-carboxylic acid. The haloform reaction with 3-acetyl-2-phenylimidazo[1,2-a]benzimidazole proceeds anomalously and leads to bis(9-methy1-2-phenylimidazo[1,2-a]benzimidazo1-3-yl)-2-buten-1,4-dione, the structure of which was confirmed by independent synthesis.See [1] for communication XV.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 4, pp. 522–525, April, 1978.     

Synthesis and deamination of 9-aminoimadazo[1,2-a]benzimidazoles

The reaction between 1,2-diaminobenzimidazole and -halocarbonyl compounds has given some novel 9-aminoimidazo [1,2-a]benzimidazoles. On treatment with nitrous acid or potassium hydroxide in DMSO, these compounds give, in addition to the deaminated compounds, 3-nitroso-derivatives of the deamination products. In the system DMSO-KOH, 9-benzylideneaminoimidazobenzimidazoles are converted smoothly into 1(9H)-imidazobenzimidazoles. It is shown that 3-nitroso-derivatives which are unsubstituted in the NH group exist predominantly in the hydroxyimino form.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 11, pp. 1517–1523, November, 1990.

Synthesis of new heterocyclic phenols: 9-Hydroxypyrido[1,2-a]pyrimidin-4-one and Derivatives

9-Hydroxypyrido[1,2-a]pyrimidin-4-one ( 5 ) was prepared by condensation of 2-amino-3-hydroxypyridine with isopropylidene aminomethylenemalonate. The reaction first led to an enaminoester intermediate which underwent cyclization by heating at 250° affording the new heterocyclic phenol 5 . A similar condensation performed on 2-amino-3-benzyloxypyridine yielded the corresponding benzylic ether which can be easily debenzylated to 5 by hydrogenolysis. Furthermore 2-amino-3-benzyloxypyridine condensed with diethyl ethoxymethylenemalonate gave 9-benzyloxy-3-ethoxycarbonylpyrido[1,2-a]pyrimidin-4-one which was also debenzylated to the corresponding free phenol.

1-R-9,9,9a-Trimethyl-1,2,3,9a-tetrahydro-9H-imidazo[1,2-a]indol-2-ones and the corresponding 2-methylene-2,3-dihydroindoles were obtained by the reaction of 2,3,3-trimethyl-3H-indole with a number of N-substituted chloroacetic acid amides and subsequent reaction of the resulting quaternary salts with bases. The kinetics of intramolecular cyclization of 1-(N-alkylcarbamoylethyl)-2-methylene-2,3-dihydroindoles under the influence of acetic acid were studied. Under the influence of strong protic acids 1-R-imidazo[1,2-a]indol-2-ones undergo decyclization and are converted to 3H-indolium salts.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 11, pp. 1485–1489, November, 1986.
