Fused pyrimidine systems: XVI. Electrophilic intramolecular cyclization of 2-(alkenylsulfanyl)pteridin-4(3<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>)-ones

2-[Allyl(but-3-en-1-yl, pent-4-en-1-yl)sulfanyl]pteridin-4(3Н)-ones at heating in polyphosphoric acid undergo an intramolecular cyclization affording respectively 9-methyl-8,9-dihydro-5H-[1,3]thiazolo[3,2-a] pteridin-5-one and 10-methyl(ethyl)-9,10-dihydro-5Н,8Н-[1,3]thiazino[3,2-a]pteridin-5-ones of angular structure. The cyclization of 2-(alkenylsulfanyl)pteridin-4(3Н)-ones under the action of iodine or arylsulfenyl chlorides afforded iodo(arylsulfanyl) derivatives of angularly fuzed thiazolo- and thiazinopteridines.

A series of 2-aryl-5-arylmethylidene-1,3-oxazol-5(4H)-ones and 2-aryl-5-arylmethylidene-N-methyl-3,5-dihydro-4H-imidazol-4-ones was synthesized as structural analogs of combret- astatin A-4 (a compound possessing antitumor activity). (5Z)-5-[(4-Methoxyphenyl)methyl-idene]-3-methyl-2-(4-methylphenyl)-3,5-dihydro-4H-imidazol-4-one was found to exhibit the highest cytotoxicity against cells of human A549 lung carcinoma line (EC₅₀ = 6±0.8 μmol L^?1).     

Reactions of 1,3-Dialkyl-5-amino-1,3-dihydro-2<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>-imidazo-[4,5-<Emphasis Type="Italic">b</Emphasis>]pyridin-2-ones with acetylacetone and ethyl acetoacetate

1,3-Dialkyl-5-amino-1,3-dihydro-2H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-2-ones reacted with acetylacetone to give the corresponding 4-(1,3-dialkyl-2-oxo-1,3-dihydro-2H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-5-ylamino)pent-3-en-2-ones which underwent intramolecular cyclization to 1,3-dialkyl-5,7-dimethyl-1,3-dihydro-2H-imidazo[4,5-b]-[1,8]naphthyridin-2-ones on heating in polyphosphoric acid or diphenyl ether. Analogous reaction of 1,3-dialkyl-5-amino-1,3-dihydro-2H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-2-ones with ethyl acetoacetate led to the formation of ethyl 3-(1,3-dialkyl-2-oxo-1,3-dihydro-2H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-5-ylamino)but-2-enoates whose cyclization afforded 1,3-dialkyl-8-hydroxy-7-methyl-1,3-dihydro-2H-imidazo[5,4-b][1,8]naphthyridin-2-ones.     

Nitration of 1,3-dihydro-2<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>-imidazo[4,5-<Emphasis Type="Italic">b</Emphasis>]pyridin-2-one derivatives

Nitration of 1,3-dihydro-2H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-2-one and its N-methyl derivatives at 0–5°C and 60°C gives 5-nitro-and 5,6-dinitro-1,3-dihydro-2H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-2-ones, respectively. The latter can also be obtained by nitration of 5-mononitro derivatives under similar conditions. The nitration of 6-chloro-and 6-bromo-1,3-dihydro-2H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-2-ones and their N-methyl-substituted analogs leads to the formation of the corresponding 6-chloro(bromo)-5-nitro compounds. The same products are formed in the nitration of 5,6-dichloro-and 5,6-dibromo-1,3-dihydro-2H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-2-ones. In this case, the process involves replacement of the halogen atom in position 5 of the pyridine fragment by nitro group. The nitration of 6-bromo-5-methyl-1,3-dihydro-2H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-2-one is accompanied by oxidation of the 5-methyl group to carboxy.     

Synthesis and intramolecular transformations of 8-substituted 11-nitro-2-phenyl-5,6-dihydro-2H-2,6-methanobenzo[g][1,3,5]oxadiazocin-4(3H)-one diastereomers

The Biginelli reaction between 5-R-salicylic aldehyde (R = H, Me, and Br), α-nitroacetophenone, and urea affords 8-R-11-nitro-2-phenyl-5,6-dihydro-2H-2,6-methanobenzo-[g][1,3,5]oxadiazocin-4(3Н)-ones as mixtures of two diastereomers. The ratio of diastereomers depends on the catalyst (HCl) concentration in the reaction medium. In DMSO and DMF, the resulting compounds undergo oxadiazocine ring opening with establishment of a three-component equilibrium between 4-(2-hydroxy-5-R-phenyl)-5-nitro-6-phenyl-3,4-dihydropyrimidin-2(1Н)-one as the major component and diastereomeric methanobenzoxadiazocines as two minor components. Dilution of these solutions with water favors the oxa-Michael reaction resulting in the reverse transformation of dihydropyrimidinones into the corresponding starting diastereomers.

Reactions of arylamines with 4-aryl-2-hydroxy-4-oxobut-2-enoic and 2-hydroxy-5,5-dimethyl-4-oxohex-2-enoic acids gave rise to 4-aryl-2-arylamino-4-oxobut-2-enoic and 2-aryl-amino-5,5-dimethyl-4-oxohex-2-enoic acids that existed in solutions as Z- and E-isomers or in a ring form as 3-arylamino-5-tert-butyl-5-hydroxyfuran-2(5H)-ones. The probable cyclization mechanism of these compounds into 5-R-3-arylimino-3H-furan-2-one derivatives was considered.

Nitration of 2,3-dihydro-1H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-2-one gave its 5-nitro derivative which was subjected to alkylation with dimethyl sulfate, diethyl sulfate, and benzyl(dimethyl)phenylammonium chloride. The resulting 1,3-dimethyl-, 1,3-diethyl-, and 1,3-dibenzyl-5-nitro-2,3-dihydro-1H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-2-ones were reduced to the corresponding 1,3-dialkyl-5-amino-2,3-dihydro-1H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-2-ones, and the latter reacted with itaconic acid to produce 1-(1,3-dialkyl-2-oxo-2,3-dihydro-1H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-5-yl)-5-oxopyrrolidine-3-carboxylic acids. 1-(2-Oxo-2,3-dihydro-1H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-5-yl)-5-oxopyrrolidine-3-carboxylic acid was obtained by analogous reaction with 5-amino-2,3-dihydro-1H-imidazo[4,5-b]-pyridin-2-one.

Their subsequent oxidation with hydrogen peroxide gave the corresponding 2-aryl-2-trifluoromethyl-1,3-thiazolidin-4-one 1-oxides and 2-aryl-2-trifluoromethyltetrahydro-4H-1,3-thiazin-4-one 1-oxides and 1,1-dioxides.

No indole derivatives were formed from the same hydrazones under the Fischer reaction conditions, but cyclization to 2-aryl-3,4-dimethyl-6-phenyl-2,6-dihydro-7H-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyridazin-7-ones was observed.

Analogous reactions of 5-benzylidene-, 5-{[4-(dimethylamino)phenyl]methylidene}-, and 5-[(2-hydroxyphenyl)-methylidene]-4-sulfanylidene-1,3-thiazolidin-2-ones led to the formation of the corresponding dimethyl 9-aryl-2-oxo-3,9-dihydro-2H-thiochromeno[2,3-d][1,3]thiazole-5,8-diyldicarbamates in 64–82% yield.

(E)-1-Aryl-3-(5-phenyl-1H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)prop-2-en-1-ones reacted with hydrazine hydrate and phenylhydrazine to give 72–93% of 4-(3-aryl-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazol-5-yl)-5-phenyl-1H-1,2,3-triazoles which underwent dehydrogenation on heating in boiling acetic acid with formation of the corresponding pyrazole derivatives. The molecular structures of (E)-3-phenyl-1-(5-phenyl-1H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)prop-2-en-1-one and 4-[3-(4-methylphenyl)-1-phenyl-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazol-5-yl]-5-phenyl-1H-1,2,3-triazole were studied by X-ray analysis. 4-(3-Aryl-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazol-5-yl)-5-phenyl-1H-1,2,3-triazoles showed toxicity against Daphnia magna.     

Azines and azoles: CXXVI. First example of a novel heterocyclic system: Pyrimido[1,6-<Emphasis Type="Italic">a</Emphasis>][1,5]benzodiazepines
