Acetylenchemie, 14. Mitt.: PTC-Umsetzung von 9(10H)-Acridinon mit 3-Chlor-3-phenyl-1-propin und 3-Brom-1-phenyl-1-propin

Summary Reaction of 9(10H)-acridinone (2) with 3-chloro-3-phenyl-1-propyne under PTC conditions affords 1-methyl-2-phenyl-6H-pyrrolo[3,2,1-de]acridin-6-one (1 b), 10-(2-chloro-1-methyl-2-phenyl-ethenyl)-9(10H)-acridinone (4), 10-(3-phenyl-1-propynyl)-9(10H)-acridinone (7), and 10-(4-methylene-2,3-diphenyl-2-cyclobuteneylidenemethyl)-9(10H)-acridinone (5). The structure of the last compound which crystallizes in the triclinic system with the space group , was confirmed by X-ray diffraction. Under the same conditions 10-(3-phenyl-2-propynyl)-9(10H)-acridinone (3) and 10-(3-phenyl-1-propynyl)-9(10H)-acridinone (6) were obtained from 9(10H)-acridinone (2) and 3-bromo-1-phenyl-1-propyne.

     

Synthesis of 6-(4-methyl-1-piperazinyl)-7H-indeno[2,1-c]-quinoline derivatives as potential 5-HT receptor ligands

Two synthetic pathways for the achievement of the title compounds are reported. The key intermediate, namely 3-carboxy-4-phenyl-2(1H)-quinolinone 9 , was directly cyclized into the corresponding 6-chloro-7H-indeno[2,1-c]quinolin-7-one 10 or alternatively it was esterified, reduced to the alcohol, chlorinated and cyclized into the 6-chloro-7H-indeno[2,1-c]quinoline 8 . Further reaction of the chloroindenoquinoline derivatives with N-methylpiperazine afforded the piperazinyl derivatives 4a-c .     

Expansion of the pentafluorobenzene ring and other skeletal transformations in the reaction of perfluoro(1,2-diethyl-1-phenyl-1,2-dihydrocyclobutabenzene) with antimony pentafluoride

The reaction of perfluoro(1-phenyl-1,2-diethyl-1,2-dihydrocuclobutabenzene) with SbF5 at 20°C, followed by treatment of the reaction mixture with water gave perfluoro {4-[1-(2-propylphenyl)propylidene]-2,5-cyclohexadien-1-one} together with perfluoro[4b,10-diethylbenzo[a]azulen-7(4bH)-one] resulting from unusual expansion of the pentafluorobenzene ring to seven-membered ring. Analogous reaction at 90°C, apart from the above compounds, afforded perfluorinated 10-ethyl- and 3,10-diethylbenzo[a]azulen-6(10H)-ones via elimination of C₂F₅ group from the seven-membered ring or its migration to the benzene ring.     

Cascade Transformations of (2,2-Diaryl-3,3-dichloroaziridin-1-yl)acetates

Esters of (2,2-diaryl-3,3-dichloroaziridin-1-yl)acetic acid prepared from glycine derivatives under alkylation conditions afford esters of 2-[N-alkyl-N-(2,2-diaryl-1-cyanovinyl)amino]-3,3-diarylacrylic acid in 20-40% yield. The reaction resulting in these compounds proceeds through a cascade of 3-chloro-2-azadiene and ylide intermediates. 3-Chloro-2-azadienes originating from (2,2-diaryl-3,3-dichloroaziridin-1-yl)acetates react with primary and secondary amines at the carbon atom of imine group providing ketenimines which undergo ketenimine-nitrile rearrangement or fragmentation. The other bases (KOH, MeONa, DBU) effect dehydrochlorination of the mentioned 3-chloro-2-azadienes giving nitrile-ylides which are trapped by nucleophilic reagents. The 3-chloro-2-azadiene obtained from methyl (2,2-diaryl-3,3-dichloroaziridin-1-yl)acetate and DBU was relatively stable and was isolated as an individual compound. (2,2-diaryl-3,3-dichloroaziridin-1-yl)propionates behave as nonfunctionalized dichloroaziridines.     

Synthesis of 1, 5- and 1, 7-dichloro-9H-thioxanthen-9-ones

1, 5-Dichloro-9H-thioxanthen-9-one ( 2 ) was prepared by cyclization of 2-chloro-6-[(2-chlorophenyl)thio]-benzoic acid ( 10 ) obtained from 2-chloro-6-iodobenzoic acid ( 9 ) and 2-chlorobenzenethiol. Similarly, 1, 7-di-chloro-9H-thioxanthen-9-one ( 6 ) was prepared from 9 via 2-chloro-6-[(4-chlorophenyl)thio]benzoic acid ( 11 ). Compound 6 was also obtained by condensation of 2-chloro-6-mercaptobenzoic acid ( 12 ) with chlorobenzene in the presence of sulfuric acid.     

Synthesis and structure determination of isomeric 7- and 8-chloro-1,5-benzodiazepine derivatives

Reaction of 4-chloro-1,2-benzenediamine with 3,3-dimercapto-1-phenyl-2-propen-1-one afforded, as expected, a mixture of 7-chloro and 8-chloro-1,3-dihydro-4-phenyl-2H-1,5-benzodiazepine-2-thione. After separation of the two components and further reaction, their structure was established by chemical degradation of 7-chloro-2-(2-diethylaminoethylthio)-4-phenyl-3H-1,5-benzodiazepine to 5-chloro-1,3-dihydro-1-methyl-2H-benzimidazol-2-one. The structure was also confirmed by single X-ray analysis of 7-chloro-2-(2-diethylaminoethylthio)-4-phenyl-3H-1,5-benzodiazepine.     

Heterocyclic compounds from 3,3-dimercapto-1-aryl-2-propen-1-ones. Note 3. Condensation with N-methyl-o-phenylenediamine and N-benzyl-o-phenylenediamine

Two seven-membered ring compounds and three five-membered ring compounds were obtained by reaction in hot xylene of 3,3-dimercapto-l-phenyl-2-propen-1-one (1) with N-alkyl-o-phenylenediamines (2) . Compounds isolated were the 4-phenyl-5-alkyl-1,5-dihydro-2H-1,5-benzodiazepine-2-thiones (3) the 1-alkyl-4-phenyl-1,3-dihydro-2H-1,5-benzodiazepine-2-thiones (4) , the 1-alkyl-2-phenacylbenzimidazoles (5) , the 1-alkyl-2-phenylbenzimidazoles (6) and the 1-alkyl-2-methylbenzimidazoles (7) . The structures of these compounds were elucidated from their chemical reactivity and their nmr and ir spectra.     

Improved Preparation of 5-Chloro-1-phenyl-1H-tetrazole and Other 5-Chlorotetrazoles.

Reaction of aryldichloroisocyanides 1a–e with sodium azide and a phase transfer agent has provided 5-chloro-1-aryl-1H-tetrazoles 2a–e in good yield. In particular, the widely-used intermediate, 5-chloro-1-phenyl-1H-tetrazole 2a, can be produced conveniently and safely in yields approaching 100%.     

Synthesis of 4-chloro-7-ethoxy-2(3H)-benzoxazolone-6-carboxylic acid

As a part of metabolic studies of mosapride ( 1 ), a potential gastroprokinetic agent, the synthesis of 4-chloro-7-ethoxy-2(3H)-benzoxazolone-6-carboxylic acid ( 7 ) as a derivative of 4-amino-5-chloro-2-ethoxy-3-hydroxybenzoic acid ( 6 ), which has served a benzoic acid part of the metabolites 4 and 5 , is described. Treatment of methyl 3-amino-4-substituted amino-5-chloro-2-ethoxybenzoate derivatives 11a-c with sodium nitrate in acidic medium gave the benzotriazole derivatives 13x,y instead of the objective 3-hydroxy counterpart. The synthesis of 7 started from o-vanillin acetate ( 15 ) and proceeded through the intermediates 2-hydroxy-3-methoxy-4-nitrobenzaldehyde ( 18 ), methyl 4-amino-2,3-dihydroxybenzoate ( 23 ), and methyl 7-hydroxy-2(3H)-benzoxazolone-6-carboxylate ( 30 ). Compound 30 was alternatively prepared from 23 via methyl 4-ethoxycarbonylamino-2-ethoxycarbonyloxy-3-hydroxybenzoate ( 29 ), which is the product resulting from the migration of the ethoxycarbonyl group of methyl 4-amino-2,3-diethoxycar-bonyloxybenzoate ( 27 ).     

Synthesis of 4,5-dihydro-4-methyl-1-phenyl-1,4,5-benzotriazocine-2,3,6(1H) triones

The title compounds, 7a and its 9-chloro analog 7b , were prepared in three steps from methyl N-phenylanthranilates. Thus, methyl N-phenylanthranilate ( 3a ) was treated with oxalyl chloride to yield 2-[(2-chloro-1, 2-dioxoethyl) phenylamino]benzoic acid methyl ester ( 4a ). Treatment of 4a with methylhydrazine gave 2-([2-(1-methylhydrazino)-1,2-dioxoethyl]phenylamino) benzoic acid methyl ester ( 6a ), which was cyclized with sodium hydride in dimethylformamide to produce 7a . Alkylation of 7a and 7b with iodomethane afforded the respective 5-methyl derivatives 8a and 8b . A survey of the known literature benzotriazocines is presented.     

1,3-Dipolar cycloadditions of diazoalkanes to pyridazine derivatives. Thermal 1,5-sigmatropic rearrangement of methyl groups in 3,3-dimethyl-3H-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyridazine derivatives

Thermal 1,5-sigmatropic rearrangements of one of the methyl group attached at position 3 of 3,3-dimethyl-3H-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyridazin-4(5H)-ones 1–3 taking place either in a clock-wise or anti-clockwise direction gave N₂-methylated products 4–6 and C_3a-methylated products 7– 9 . The -7(6)-one derivative 10 and -4,7(5H,6H)-dione derivative 12 gave only N₂-methylated products 11 and 13 respectively, and 1,2-dihydro derivative 14 produced after elimination of methane, 15 .     

Synthesis of 2-phenyl-3,4-dihydro-2H- and -3,4,5,6-tetrahydro-2H-1,6-benzothiazocine derivatives

The resynthesis of 2-phenyl-3,4-dihydro-2H-benzothiazocin-5(6H)-one (1) was investigated in order to prepare derivatives with potential CNS activity. Lactam 1 could be converted to amidine derivatives 6a-e via the intermediacy of the thioether 5a. Reduction of 1 with lithium aluminum hydride gave amine 8a . Reductive alkylation of 8a gave 9a and 9b while acylation of 8a gave derivatives 10a-d . No interesting biological properties were found for these compounds.     

Reaction of sulfene and dichloroketene with open-chain N,N-disubstituted α-aminomethyleneketones. Synthesis of 4-dialkylamino-3,4-dihydro-6-methyl-5-phenyl-1,2-oxathiin 2,2-dioxides and of N,N-disubstituted 4-amino-3-chloro-(6-methyl-5-phenyl)(6-benzyl)-2H-pyran-2-ones

Cycloaddition of sulfene to N,N-disubstituted 4-amino-3-phenyl-3-buten-2-ones (III) occurred in good yield only in the case of aliphatic N-substitution to give 4-dialkylamino-3,4-dihydro-6-methyl-5-phenyl-1,2-oxathiin 2,2-dioxides, whereas N,N-disubstituted 4-amino-1-phenyl-3-buten-2-ones (IV) did not react at all. Polar 1,4-cycloaddition of dichloroketene to III and IV occurred partly in the case of aromatic N-substitution, with the exception of the morpholino derivative IVd, giving in low yield N,N-disubstituted 4-amino-3,3-dichloro-3,4-dihydro-(6-methyl-5-phenyl)(6-benzyl)-2H-pyran-2-ones, which were dehydrochlorinated with DBN to the corresponding 4-amino-3-chloro-(6-methyl-5-phenyl)(6-benzyl)-2H-pyran-2-ones (VII) in good yield. In some cases of aliphatic N,N-disubstitution of III and IV, cycloaddition led directly to N,N-dialkyl derivatives VII in low yield.     

Reaction of ketenes with N,N-disubstituted α-aminomethyleneketones VIII. Synthesis of N,N-disubstituted 4-amino-3-chloro-6-phenyl-2H-pyran-2-ones

The dipolar 1,4-cycloaddition of dichloroketene to N,N-disubstituted 3-amino-1-phenyl-2-propene-1-onesled directly to N,N-disubstituted 4-amino-3-chloro-6-phenyl-2H-pyran-2-ones only in the case of an usual aliphatic N,N-disubstitution. In the case of partial or full aromatic N-substitution, N,N-disubstituted 4-amino-3,3-dichloro-3,4-dihydro-6-phenyl-2H-pyran-2-ones were instead obtained, which were dehydrochlorinated with DBN to the corresponding 4-amino-3-chloro-6-phenyl-2H-pyran-2-ones.     

An anomalous reaction of 7-chloro-2-hydrazono-5-phenyl-1,2-dihydro-3H-1,4-benzodiazepine with sodium acetate and 1,1′-carbonyldiimidazole

The addition of 7-chloro-2-hydrazono-5-phenyl-1,2-dihydro-3H-1,4-benzodiazepine 3 to a mixture of sodium acetate and 1,1′-carbonyldiimidazole 1 at room temperature gave, in moderate yields, carbonyl-1,1′-bis[7-chloro-5-phenyl-1,2-dihydro-3H-1,4-benzodiazepin-2-ylidene hydrazone] 7 instead of the expected 2-acetylhydrazono-7-chloro-5-phenyl-1,2-dihydro-3H-1,4-benzodiazepine 4 .     

The reaction of 2-acetoacetamidopyridines with phosgene. A route to novel 3-Acetyl-2-chloro-4H-pyrido[ 1,2-a] pyrimidin-4-ones

2-(Acetoacetamido)pyridine, 1 , and its 5-methyl derivative, 2 , with phosgene, gave 3-acetyl-2-chloro-4H-pyrido[1,2-a]pyrimidin- 4 -one, 5 , and 3-acetyl-2-chloro-7-methyl-4H-pyrido[1,2-a]-pyrimidin-4-one, 6 , respectively. The structures of these compounds followed from their elemental analyses, and interpretations of their uv, ir, pmr, and X-ray spectra. An alternative route to 5 and 6 , which sought first to react 1 and 2 with methyl - and benzyl chloroformates, was unsuccessful, and led, instead, to elimination of the acetoacetyl group with concomitant formation of the carbamate derivatives, 10 and 11 .     

Reactions with 2-mercaptopyrimidines. Synthesis of some new thiazolo[3,2-a]- and triazolo[4,3-a]pyrimidines

Alkylation of 5-cyano-4-oxo-6-phenyl-2-thioxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyrimidine I with methyl iodide, chloroacetic acid or 3-chloro-2,4-pentanedione, afforded the S-alkyl derivatives IIa-c. 2-Carboxymethylthio and 2-(2′,4′-dioxopentan-3-ylthio) derivatives IIb and IIc could be cyclised by acetic anhydride or polyphosphoric acid to give 6-cyano-3,5-dioxo-5H-7-phenylthiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidine III and 2-acetyl-6-carboxamido-5H-3-methyl-7-phenylthiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidine-5-one IX , respectively. Benzoylation of 2-hydrazinopyrimidine derivative XII , in anhydrous dioxan, afforded the N-benzoyl derivative XIII , which could be cyclised by heating in dimethylformamide to give 5-amino-6-cyano-3,7-diphenyl-s-triazolo[4,3-a]pyrimidine ( XIV ). The 2-hydrazinopyrimidine derivatives XII and XV reacted with benzoyl isothiocyanate in dioxane to yield 4-benzoylthiosemicarbazide derivatives XVI and XVII , which were converted into the 2-s-trizolopyrimidine derivatives XVIII and XIX , respectively. Also, XVI and XVII reacted with 2,4-pentanedione and 3-chloro-2,4-pentanedione to yield 2-pyrazolopyrimidine derivatives XX and XXI , respectively.     

New acid photogenerators based on thioxanthen-9-one sulfonium derivatives for detritylation in the oligonucleotide synthesis

Photochemical activity of a number of cationic thioxanthen-9-one derivatives for the formation of the trityl cation was studied, which resulted in the selection of compounds suitable for photodetritylation. 10-(4-Heptyloxyphenyl)-9-oxo-2-(N,N,N-triethylammonio)methyl-9H-thioxanthenium bis(hexafluorophosphate) and 2-methyl-, 2-(2-methyl-1-propanoyl-2-tosyl)-, 1-chloro-4-propoxy-, and 2,4-diethyl-10-(4-heptyloxyphenyl)-9-oxo-9H-thioxanthenium hexafluorophosphates were found to be photoactivators of detritylation of 5′-O-(4,4′-dimethoxytrityl)thymidine. The detritylation reaction is the most efficient in dichloromethane. 2,4-Diethyl-10-(4-heptyloxyphenyl)-9-oxo-9H-thioxanthenium hexafluorophosphate was used as a detritylation photoactivator in the oligonucleotide synthesis using an automated DNA synthesizer. The yield in the elongation step of the oligonucleotide chain was 98%.     

Photo- and thermal elimination of nitrogen from 4-phenyl- and 4,5-diphenyl-1,2,3-triazole

Phenylacetonitrile ( 2 ) (32%) and small amounts of benzyl methyl ether ( 3 ), benzonitrile ( 5 ) and methyl benzoate ( 6 ) were produced by irradiation of either 4-phenyl-1,2,3-triazole ( 1 ) or 4-phenyl-5-deutero-1,2,3-triazole ( 7 ) in methanol at 254 nm. In methylene chloride, irradiation of 1 produced 2 (15%) and small amounts of 3,6-diphenyl-1,2,4,5-tetrazine ( 8 ). Irradiation of 4,5-diphenyl-1,2,3-triazole ( 9 ) in methanol gave 2,4,5-triphenylimidazole ( 11 ) (4%) and trace amounts of diphenylacetonitrile ( 10 ), benzamide ( 12 ), and compounds 3 , 5 , and 6 . Irradiation of 2,3-diphenyl-2H-azirine ( 13 ) in methanol gave small amounts of 3 , benzaldehyde ( 4 ), and compounds 5 , 6 , 12 as well as 2,3,5,6-tetraphenylpyrazine ( 14 ) and in methylene chloride it gave 11 (16%) and small amounts of 4 , 5 , 14 , and acetophenone ( 15 ). On heating 4-phenyl-1,2,3-triazole ( 1 ) in n-hexadecane, elimination of nitrogen at 290° left phenylacetonitrile ( 2 ) as the only identified product. Similar pyrolysis of 4,5-diphenyl-1,2,3-triazole ( 9 ) produced 2,3,5,6-tetraphenylpyrazine ( 14 ) along with an intractable material. An efficient thermal isomerization of 2,3-diphenyl-2H-azirine ( 13 ) gave 2-phenylindole ( 17 ).     

Chiral 1,4-benzodiazepines. XII. Conformation in a solution of 7-chloro-5-phenyl-3(S)methyl-1,3-dihydro-2H-1,4-benzodiazepine

Deuterium labeled congeners of 7-chloro-5-phenyl-3(S)-methyl-1,3-dihydro-2H-1,4-benzodiazepine ( 8 ), i.e., compounds 9 and 16-18 were prepared and their lis-nmr spectra run. For computational studies compounds 9 and 16 were chosen. The results of lis measurements revealed that 16 is present in more than 97% in the boat-like conformation I (Scheme 3).
