Cycloaddition of 2(1H)-pyridones having a methoxycarbonyl group to 1,3-butadiene derivatives

The cycloaddition of 4-methoxycarbonyl-2(1H)-pyridones to silyloxydienes gave isoquinolone derivatives in reasonable yields. Furthermore, the cycloaddition of 6-methoxycarbonyl-2(1H)-pyridones to 2,3-dimethyl-1,3-butadiene produced cycloadducts (isoquinolone and quinolone derivatives) and double cycloadducts (phenanthridone derivatives). The activation energies using Gaussian 98 with RHF/3-21G level of 4- and 6-methoxycarbonyl-2(1H)-pyridones coincided with the experimental facts.     

2-pyridones from cyanoacetamides and enecarbonyl compounds: application to the synthesis of nothapodytine B

The condensation of an enone or enal with cyanoacetamide derivatives and t-BuOK furnishes either 3-cyano-2-pyridones or 3-unsubstituted-2-pyridones, depending on whether the reaction is carried out in the presence or in the absence of O(2). In the first case, in situ oxidation of Michael-type intermediates takes place; in the second case, the products result from "decyanidative aromatization" of such intermediates. A one-step synthesis of 3-alkyl-2-pyridones has been devised on the basis of decyanative union of an enone/enal and a 2-alkylcyanoacetamide. The new reaction forms the centerpiece of an unusually concise synthesis of nothapodytine B (mappicine ketone).     

Intramolecular rearrangement of two-ring 2,2-disubstituted 4-oxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyrimidines under the influence of polyphosphoric acid

Intramolecular rearrangement of two-ring 2,3-disubstituted 4-oxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyrimidines to pyridine derivatives, which takes place under the influence of polyphosphoric acid, was observed. It is shown that cycloalkanopyrimidones are converted primarily to two- or three-ring 2-pyridones and to small amounts of the corresponding 4-pyridones and 4-aminopyridines. A possible mechanism that enables one to explain the difference in the occurrence of the rearrangements primarily to 2- or 4-pyridones as a function of the absence or presence of aromatic character of the ring condensed with the pyrimidine ring is proposed.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 11, pp. 1549–1553, November, 1977.     

Synthesis and evaluation of dihydroimidazolo and dihydrooxazolo ring-fused 2-pyridones—targeting pilus biogenesis in uropathogenic bacteria

Dihydrothiazolo ring-fused 2-pyridones have previously been shown to inhibit pilus assembly in uropathogenic Escherichia coli. Methods have now been developed to synthesize both dihydroimidazolo and dihydrooxazolo ring-fused 2-pyridones. To obtain the nitrogen analogs, Cbz-protected imidazolines were reacted with an acyl-Meldrum's acid derivative under acidic conditions. To prepare the oxygen analogs, a one-pot procedure was developed that allowed synthesis of dihydrooxazolo ring-fused 2-pyridones starting from acylated serine derivatives. After hydrolysis to their corresponding carboxylic acids and lithium carboxylates, biological evaluation revealed that the sulfur could be replaced by an oxygen atom and still maintains the ability to inhibit pilus assembly in uropathogenic E. coli. However, introducing a secondary amine instead of oxygen resulted in a substantial decrease in biological activity.     

Heterocycles. Part V. Reaction of α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds with arylacetamides. A synthesis of 2-pyridone derivatives

The reaction of 1,3-diaryl-2-propene-1-ones I with arylacetamides II, in the presence of sodium ethoxide under reflux, for two hours, gave the corresponding 3,4,6-triaryl-3,4-dihydro-2(1H)-pyridones IV. However, when the reaction of these ketones was carried out in the presence of sodium hydride, they gave the corresponding 3,4,6-triaryl-2(1H)-pyridones VI or a mixture of IV and VI. When 1,3-diaryl-2-propyne-1-ones V were reacted with arylacetamides, in the presence of sodium hydride, they yielded the corresponding 2-pyridones VI. Treatment of compounds IV with selenium produced the corresponding 2-pyridones VI. Acetylation of the latter compounds gave the corresponding 2-acetyl derivatives VIII. The structure of all products was confirmed by chemical and spectroscopic evidence, and the mechanism of the reactions was discussed.     

Preparation and reactions of 3,4-dihydro-2H-pyran-2-ones

The Michael reaction of ethyl cinnamates with deoxybenzoin gave ethyl 3,4,5-triaryl-5-oxopentanoates which were hydrolysed to the corresponding acids. The latter could be cyclized to the respective 3,4-dihydro-2H-pyran-2-ones which underwent ring opening with several nucleophiles to the corresponding acid derivatives. However, their reaction with ammonium acetate led to the formation of 3,4-dihydro-2-pyridones. The 3,4-dihydro-2-pyrones and pyridones were dehydrogenated to the corresponding 2-pyrones and 2-pyridones by fusion with sulfur.     

RhIII-Catalyzed C6-Selective Oxidative C−H/C−H Crosscoupling of 2-Pyridones with Thiophenes

A rhodium(III)-catalyzed C6-selective dehydrogenative cross-coupling of 2-pyridones with thiophenes was developed for the synthesis of 6-thiophenyl pyridin-2(1H)-one derivatives. In this reaction, the excellent site selectivity was controlled by the 2-pyridyl directing group on the nitrogen of the pyridone ring. Control experiments indicated that the N-pyridyl was essential for the transformation. To the best of our knowledge, this procedure is the first successful example of the direct C6 heteroarylation of 2-pyridones with electron-rich thiophene derivatives. 4-Pyridone was also used as substrate to generate the corresponding C2 heteroarylated product. Moreover, this pyridyl directing group was readily removable to generate the biheteroaryl structures with a free N−H group.     

Synthesis of multi ring-fused 2-pyridones via an acyl-ketene imine cyclocondensation

[STRUCTURE: SEE TEXT] Polycyclic ring-fused 2-pyridones (5a-e and 9a-e) have been prepared via a microwave-assisted acyl-ketene imine cyclocondensation. Starting from 3,4-dihydroisoquinolines (4a-b) or 3,4-dihydroharman (8), fused 2-pyridones could be prepared in a one-step procedure. By using either Meldrum's acid derivatives (1a-d) or 1,3-dioxine-4-ones (7a-b) as acyl-ketene sources, mono- or disubstitution of the fused 2-pyridone ring could be accomplished. As an application of the method, a formal synthesis of the indole alkaloid sempervilam was performed.     

General synthetic methods for the preparation of 1-substituted-vinyl-2-pyridones

General methods for the preparation of a variety of 1-substituted vinyl-2-pyridones are described. Synthetic routes followed involve (1) nucleophilic substitution reaction of the 2-hydroxy-pyridyl anion of haloolefins containing β-activating groups, such as carbonyl and phenyl, (2) elimination reactions of ester derivatives of 1-pyridonyl-2-ethanols and (3) base catalyzed isomerizations of 1-allyl-2-pyridones. The details involved with each of the synthetic methods and purification of the derived 1-vinyl-2-pyridones are described. Additionally important spectroscopic properties of compounds in this series are discussed in terms of preferred conformations about the nitrogen-exocyclic vinyl carbon bond.     

Synthesis of 3-methyl-4-cyano-3-butenoic acid amides and their cyclization into 6-amino-2-pyridones

Two groups of amides, derivatives of 3-methyl-4-cyano- and 3-methyl-4-cyano-4-carbethoxy-3 acids were obtained from acetoacetamides in the form of mixtures of Z, E-isomers and the pure E-isomers were isolated. It was shown that amides from the first group are cyclized by bases into the corresponding 6-amino-4-methyl-2-pyridones and amides from the second group are cyclized into 6-hydroxy-5-cyano-4-methyl-2-pyridones.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 12, pp. 1636–1640, December 1992.     

Synthesis and DABCO-induced demethylation of 3-cyano-4-methoxy-2-pyridone derivatives

An efficient method for synthesis and demethylation of 3-cyano-4-methoxy-2-pyridone derivatives has been developed. DABCO-induced demethylation can lead to 3-cyano-4-hydroxy-2-pyridones in DMF at 90°C with high yield. The protocol is applicable for the synthesis of 3-cyano-4-hydroxy-2-pyridone derivatives. The method is simple, efficient, and practical.     

Electrochemical oxidation of substituted 3,4-dihydro-2-pyridones at a rotating graphite electrode with a ring

Using the method of a rotating disk (graphite) electrode with a ring, UV spectroscopy, and prolonged electrolysis, it has been shown that the first stage of the electrochemical oxidation of substituted 3,4-dihydro-2-pyridones in anhydrous acetonitrile corresponds to a two-electron process taking place by an ECE mechanism and leads to the formation of the corresponding substituted 2-pyridones. The potentials of the electrochemical oxidation of the 3-cyano and 3-carbamoyl derivatives of the reduced forms and the potentials of the electroreduction of the corresponding oxidized compounds have been determined.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 1, pp. 87–91, January, 1984.     

New synthesis of pyridone derivative from 1-azadiene

The reaction of 1-azabutadienes with enolates of substituted acetates gave 3,4-dihydro-2-pyridones which rearrange or dehydrogenate to other isomeric dihydropyridones or pyridones. Thus 1-azabutadienes were found to be good building blocks for pyridone derivatives.     

Synthesis of new potentially bioactive bicyclic 2-pyridones

Three convenient methods of reduction of the nitro group of 5-nitroimidazoles and 5-nitrothiazole that bear a diethylmethylene malonate group in an ortho-like position with respect to the nitro group and cyclization of the resulting amino derivatives are reported. These reactions afforded the target bicyclic 2-pyridones in good to excellent yields.     

A micellar alignment effect in the photodimerizations of N-ω-carboxyalkyl-2-pyridones and their 4-alkyl derivatives in micelle or reversed micelle

The photoreaction of N-ω-carboxyalkyl-2-pyridones at 7.2–22.4mM concentrations in micellar and reversed micellar systems gave the ratio of cis to trans dimer increasing with decreasing length of the alkyl chain and in their 4-alkyl derivatives, only cis dimer was obtained.     

Three-step synthesis of 4-(2′-hydroxyethyl) azetidin-2-one and its substituted derivatives from 4-acetoxy-2-pyridones

4-(2'-Hydroxyethyl)azetidin-2-one, an important synthetic intermediate for carbapenem, and its substituted derivatives have been synthesized from 4-acetoxy-2-pyridones by photolysis, catalytic hydrogenation, followed by basic hydrolysis in the presence of sodium borohydride.     

Diels-alder reaction of 2(1H)-pyridones acting as dienes

Diels-Alder reactions between N-phenylmaleimide, acting as the dienophile, and 2(1H)-pyridones having a methoxy or a chloro substituent, were carried out, under atmospheric and high pressure conditions, to give the corresponding isoquinuclidine derivatives. Stereoselectivity of the Diels-Alder reactions was studied using molecular orbital calculations.     

A ring transformation of 1-substituted 3,5-dinitro-2-pyidones

Reaction of 1-substituted 3,5-dinitro-2-pyridones with sodium salts of β-keto esters gave the ring transformation products, phenol derivatives and $\text{N}$-substituted nitroacetamides. Nonionic bicyclic intermediates could be isolated.     

Synthesis of isoquinoline derivatives by Diels-Alder reactions of 2(1H)-pyridones having an electron-withdrawing group with methoxy-1,3-butadienes

Diels-Alder (DA) reactions of 2(1H)-pyridones having an electron-withdrawing group at the 4-position with 2,3-dimethoxy- and 2-methoxy-1,3-butadienes gave isoquinoline derivatives. Furthermore, an isoquinoline alkaloid (6,7-dimethoxy-2-methyl-1(2H)-isoquinolone) was synthesized by elimination of hydrogen cyanide and dehydrogenation of the DA-adduct having a cyano group at the 4a-position.     

Diels-Alder reactions of nitro-2(1H)-pyridones with 2,3-dimethyl-1,3-butadiene

Diels-Alder (DA) reactions of 3- or 5-nitro-2(1H)-pyridones and nitro-2(1H)-pyridones containing a methoxycarbonyl group with 2,3-dimethyl-1,3-butadiene were examined. The DA reactions of 3-nitro-2(1H)-pyridones in this paper represent, to the best of our knowledge, the first report of DA reactions of 3-substituted 2(1H)-pyridones and consequent production of isoquinolones. Performing the same reactions with 5-nitro-2(1H)-pyridones yielded quinolones. DA reactions of 2(1H)-pyridones with nitro and methoxycarbonyl groups produced isoquinolones, quinolones and phenanthridones (the double DA adducts), aromatized or hydrogenated. The substituent effect was evaluated by calculating the activation energy, using the ab initio MO method.
