Synthesis,crystal structure and activity evaluation of novel 3,4‐dihydro‐1‐benzoxepin‐5(2H)‐one derivatives as protein–tyrosine kinase (PTK) inhibitors

Four new 3,4‐dihydro‐1‐benzoxepin‐5(2H )‐one derivatives, namely (E )‐4‐(5‐bromo‐2‐hydroxybenzylidene)‐6,8‐dimethoxy‐3,4‐dihydrobenzo[b ]oxepin‐5(2H )‐one, ( 7 ), (E )‐4‐[(E )‐3‐(5‐bromo‐2‐hydroxyphenyl)allylidene]‐6,8‐dimethoxy‐3,4‐dihydrobenzo[b ]oxepin‐5(2H )‐one, ( 8 ), (E )‐4‐(5‐bromo‐2‐hydroxybenzylidene)‐6‐hydroxy‐8‐methoxy‐3,4‐dihydrobenzo[b ]oxepin‐5(2H )‐one, C₁₈H₁₅BrO₅, ( 9 ), and (E )‐4‐[(E )‐3‐(5‐bromo‐2‐hydroxyphenyl)allylidene]‐6‐hydroxy‐8‐methoxy‐3,4‐dihydrobenzo[b ]oxepin‐5(2H )‐one, ( 10 ), have been synthesized and characterized by FT–IR, NMR and MS. The structure of ( 9 ) was confirmed by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction. Crystal structure analysis shows that molecules of ( 9 ) are connected into a one‐dimensional chain in the [010] direction through classical hydrogen bonds and these chains are further extended into a three‐dimensional network via C—H…O interactions. The inhibitory activities of these compounds against protein–tyrosine kinases (PTKs) show that 6‐hydroxy‐substituted compounds ( 9 ) and ( 10 ) are more effective for inhibiting ErbB1 and ErbB2 than are 6‐methoxy‐substituted compounds ( 7 ) and ( 8 ). This may be because ( 9 ) and ( 10 ) could effectively bind to the active pockets of the protein through intermolecular interactions.

The structures of these compounds were deduced from one‐ and two‐dimensional ¹H, ¹³C and natural abundance ¹⁵N NMR experiments (¹H,¹H‐COSY, gs‐HSQC, gs‐HMBC, ¹⁵N gs‐HMBC), and corroborated by comparison of their NMR data with the respective data for structurally similar compounds.

Synthesis of 1,3‐Dihydro‐3‐oxo‐2‐benzofuran‐1‐carboxylates via Intramolecular Cyclization of 2‐[2‐(Dimethoxymethyl)phenyl]‐ 2‐hydroxyalkanoates Followed by Oxidation

A novel and efficient method for the preparation of 1,3‐dihydro‐3‐oxo‐2‐benzofuran‐1‐carboxylates 4 under mild conditions has been developed. Thus, the reaction of [2‐(dimethoxymethyl)phenyl]lithiums, generated easily from 1‐bromo‐2‐(dimethoxymethyl)benzenes 1 , with α‐keto esters gives the corresponding 2‐[2‐(dimethoxymethyl)phenyl]‐2‐hydroxyalkanoates 2 . The TsOH‐catalyzed cyclization of these hydroxy acetals is followed by the oxidation of the resulting cyclic acetals 3 with PCC to give the desired products in satisfactory yields. The reaction of [2‐(dimethoxymethyl)‐4,5‐dimethoxyphenyl]lithium with (MeOC?O)₂, followed by treatment with NaBH₄ or organolithiums, affords 2‐[2‐(dimethoxymethyl)‐4,5‐dimethoxyphenyl]‐2‐hydroxyalkanoates 6 , which can similarly be transformed into the corresponding 1,3‐dihydro‐3‐oxo‐2‐benzofuran‐1‐carboxylates 7 in reasonable yields.

Syntheses,Structures, Electrochemistry,and Electrocatalysis of Three Copper(II) Coordination Polymers constructed from 5‐[4‐(1H‐Imidazol‐1‐yl)phenyl]‐1H‐tetrazole

Three coordination polymers (CPs) based on the 5‐[4‐(1H‐imidazol‐1‐yl)phenyl]‐1H‐tetrazole ( HL ) ligand, namely, [Cu(μ₂‐ L )(μ₄‐pbda)(H₂O)] ( 1 ), [Cu₂(μ‐Hbtc)(H₂btc)(μ₃‐OH)(μ₄‐ HL )] ( 2 ) and [Cu₅(μ₃‐ L )(μ₄‐ L )(μ₃‐ip)(μ₃‐OH)(H₂O)₂] · 2H₂O ( 3 ) (H₂pbda = 1,4‐benzenedicarboxylic acid, H₃btc = 1,3,5‐benzenetricarboxylic acid, H₂ip = isophthalic acid) were hydrothermally synthesized and structurally characterized. Complex 1 represents “weave”‐type 2D layers consisting of wave‐like 1D chains and 1D straight chains, which are further connected by hydrogen bonds to form a 3D supramolecular structure. Complex 2 exhibits a uninodal (4)‐connected 2D layer with a point symbol of {4⁴ · 6²}, in which the L ligand can be described as μ₅‐bridging and the H₂btc^– ions display multiple kinds of coordination modes to connect Cu^II ions into 1D “H”‐type Cu‐H₂btc chains. In complex 3 , 2D Cu‐ L layers with two kinds of grids and 1D “stair”‐type Cu‐ip chains link each other to construct a 3D {4¹² · 6³} framework, which contains the pentanuclear subunits. Deprotonated degree and coordination modes of carboxylate ligands may consequentially influence the coordination patterns of main ligands and the final structures of complexes 1 – 3 . Furthermore, electrochemical behaviors and electrocatalytic activities of the title complexes were analyzed at room temperature, suggesting practical applications in areas of electrocatalytic reduction toward nitrite and hydrogen dioxide in aqueous solutions, respectively.
