Allosteric bindings of thiacalix[4]arene-based receptors with 1,3-alternate conformation having two different side arms

A novel ditopic receptor possessing two complexation sites such as crown ether and 2-pyridylmethyl groups bearing 1,3-alternate conformation based on thiacalix[4]arene was prepared. The binding behaviors with Li⁺ and Ag⁺ have been examined by ¹H NMR titration experiment. The exclusive formation of mononuclear complexes of 1,3-alternate-5 with Li⁺ and Ag⁺ was observed even though the formation of the heterogeneous dinuclear complexes was expected. The decomplexation of Li⁺ from the crown moiety of 1:1 complex 1,3-alternate-5?Li⁺ to form the Ag⁺?1,3-alternate-5 complex by addition of AgSO₃CF₃ clearly shows that pyridyl moiety works as an efficient switch-off of the recognition ability of the crown moiety. We have also developed the construction of hydrogen-bonding self-assembly heterodimeric systems based on bis(4-pyridyl) and dicarboxylic acid thiacalix[4]arene derivatives in 1,3-alternate conformation. Their supramolecular behaviors are studied by ¹H NMR titration experiments with K⁺ and Ag⁺ ions. Although the values of the dimerization constants are relatively small, the stability of the dimers is strong enough to overcome only small conformational changes upon complex formation.     

Synthesis of 7-iodo(arylsulfanyl)methyl-7,8-dihydro-[1,3]thiazolo[2,3-i]purinium pentaiodide (perchlorates) and their transformation into 4-amino-5-(1,3-thiazol-2-yl)imidazole derivatives

Intramolecular electrophilic cyclization of 6-allylsulfanylpurine by the action of iodine and arenesulfenyl chlorides gave 7-iodomethyl-7,8-dihydro[1,3]thiazolo[2,3-i]purin-6-ium pentaiodide and 7-arylsulfanylmethyl-7,8-dihydro[1,3]thiazolo[2,3-i]purin-6-ium perchlorates, respectively. 7-Iodomethyl-7,8-dihydro-[1,3]thiazolo[2,3-i]purin-6-ium iodide reacted with sodium and potassium alkoxides to produce alkyl N-[5-(4-methyl-1,3-thiazol-2-yl)-1H-imidazol-4-yl]formimidates, and its reaction with secondary cyclic amines afforded 5-(4-methyl-1,3-thiazol-2-yl)-N-[morpholin-4-yl(or piperidin-1-yl)methylidene]-1H-imidazol-4-amines. Successive treatment of 7-arylsulfanylmethyl-7,8-dihydro[1,3]thiazolo[2,3-i]purin-6-ium perchlorates with sodium acetate and morpholine led to the formation of 5-(4-arylsulfanylmethyl-4,5-dihydro-1,3-thiazol-2-yl)-N-(morpholin-4-ylmethylidene)-1H-imidazol-4-amines.

Synthesis of substituted [1,3]thiazolo[4,5-b]pyridines and [1,3]thiazolo[4,5-d][1,2,3]triazines

In this work, we described an easy preparation of substituted 4-amino-5-cyano-1,3-thiazoles. These compounds have been used as starting materials to obtain two classes of compounds. New substituted [1,3]thiazolo[4,5-e]pyridines were synthesized in one step via Friedländer reaction. Diazotation of 4-amino-5-cyano-1,3-thiazoles afforded 4-chloro[1,3]thiazolo[4,5-d][1,2,3]triazines in one step. The later was substituted by a secondary amine to obtain substituted 4-amino[1,3]thiazolo[4,5-d][1,2,3]triazines.     

Novel Triphenylamine Appended 1,3-Alternate-Calix[4]arenes: Synthesis and Characterization

In the present study, two novel calix[4]arene receptors containing triphenylamine units in 1,3-alternate conformation have been synthesized and characterized in detail. First, the 25,27-dipropoxy-26,28-bis[(3-aminopropyl)oxy]-calix[4]arene 4 and 25,26,27,28-tetra[(3-aminopropyl)oxy]-calix[4]arene 7 were prepared by using convenient reagents. Then, these amino derivatives of calix[4]arene were converted to Schiff base derivatives appended to triphenylamine of calix[4]arene (5 and 8) using 4-formyltriphenylamine via condensation. The 1,3-alternate conformation of the synthesized calix[4]arenes was determined by ¹H and ¹³C NMR analyses. Also, their structures have been characterized by using ¹H and ¹³C NMR, infrared, and elemental analyses.

Synthesis and electrochemical evaluation of substituted imidazo[4,5-d]pyrrolo[3,2-f][1,3] diazepine scaffolds

Substituted 4-(2,5-dihydro-1H-pyrrol-3-yl)-1H-imidazoles were prepared from 5-amino-1-aryl-4-cyanoformimidoylimidazoles and cyanoacetamide, under mild experimental conditions. The pyrrolyl-imidazoles were cyclized to the corresponding 7,8-dihydroimidazo[4,5-b]pyrrolo[3,4-d]pyridines by reflux in ethanol, with catalysis by DBU. The same pyrrolyl-imidazoles were reacted with orthoesters, at room temperature and in the presence of sulfuric acid, to generate 3,7-dihydro-8H-imidazo[4,5-d]pyrrolo[3,2-f]diazepines in very good yield. Electrochemical studies of the imidazo[4,5-d]pyrrolo[3,2-f][1,3] diazepine derivatives were carried out. The reduction potential of 7-ethyl-3-(4-methoxyphenyl)-8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-3H-imidazo[4,5-d]pyrrolo[3,2-f][1,3] diazepine-9-carbonitrile was in the adequate range for presenting bioreduction properties.     

Synthesis and Structure of a 1,3-alternate-Thiacalix[4]arene diamide Derivative

A novel receptor possessing two complexation sites and bearing 1,3-alternate conformation based on thiacalix[4]arene, confirmed by single crystal X-ray analysis, was prepared. The tetrathiacalix[4]arene diamide shows strong intramolecular hydrogen bonding. The binding behavior towards K⁺ and halides has been examined by ¹H NMR titration experiments.     

Synthesis and Pharmacological Evaluation of Novel 2,3,4,5-tetrahydro[1,3]diazepino[1,2-a]benzimidazole Derivatives as Promising Anxiolytic and Analgesic Agents

A number of novel 2,3,4,5-tetrahydro[1,3]diazepino[1,2-a]benzimidazole derivatives 2 were obtained by alkylation mainly in the 1H-tautomeric form of 2,3,4,5-tetrahydro[1,3]diazepino[1,2-a]benzimidazole or its 8,9-dimethyl-substituted analog 4-chlorobenzyl bromide, 4-chloroacetic acid fluoroanilide, and 4-tert-butylphenacyl bromide in neutral medium. Compounds 3 were cyclized and synthesized earlier with 11-phenacyl-substituted diazepino[1,2-a]benzimidazoles upon heating in conc. HBr. The chemical structures of the compounds were clarified by using the ¹H Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (¹H-NMR) technique. Anxiolytic properties were evaluated using the elevated plus maze (EPM) and open field (OF) tests. The analgesic effect of compounds was estimated with the tail flick (TF) and hot plate (HP) methods. Besides, possible the influence of the test compounds on motor activities of the animals was examined by the Grid, Wire, and Rotarod tests. Compounds 2d and 3b were the most active due to their prominent analgesic and anxiolytic potentials, respectively. The results of the performed in silico analysis showed that the high anxiolytic activity of compound 3b is explained by the combination of a pronounced interaction mainly with the benzodiazepine site of the GABA_A receptor with a prominent interaction with both the specific and allosteric sites of the 5-HT_2A receptor.     

Crystal and molecular structures of binuclear caesium complexes with 1,3-calix[4]-bis-crown-6 and 1,3-calix[4]-bis-benzo-crown-6

The crystal structures of two binuclear complexes between caesium and 1,3-calix[4]-bis-crowns have been determined. Cs₂ Bis-benzoC6(NO₃)₂. 3CHCl₃ (1) in whichBis-benzoC6 is 1,3-calix[4]-bis-benzo-crown-6, crystallizes in the orthorhombic system: space groupPca2 ₁ a=19.513(10),b=15.382(5),c=23.708(9) Å,V=7116(5) ų,Z=4. Refinement led to a final conventionalR value of 0.065 for 2321 reflections. The structure of (1) is analogous to those already reported withBis-C6, (in whichBis-C6 is, 1,3-calix[4]-bis-crown-6) and NO ₃ ^– as a counter-ion.

Synthesis and some properties of N-unsubstituted pyrrolo[2,1-c]-1,3-diazacycloalkano[1,2-a]pyrazinones

Reactions of methyl 2-(2-formyl-1H-pyrrol-1-yl)alkanoates with unsubstituted aliphatic 1,2-, 1,3-, and 1,4-diamines gave N-unsubstituted pyrrolo[2,1-c]-1,3-diazacycloalkano[1,2-a]-pyrazinones. Some of them show ring-chain tautomerism. Transformations of these compounds led to a number of novel heterocyclic systems: 2,10-dihydro-3H,5H-imidazo[1,2-a]-pyrrolo[1,2-d]pyrazines, 2,3,4,11-tetrahydro-6H-pyrrolo[1??,2??:4,5]pyrazino[1,2-a]pyrimidines, 1,2,3,5,6,10b-hexahydroimidazo[1,2-a]pyrrolo[2,1-c]pyrazines, 1,3,4,6,7,11b-hexahydro-2H-pyrrolo[2??,1??:3,4]pyrazino[1,2-a]pyrimidines, and 2,3,4,5,6,7-hexahydro-1H-pyrrolo[2,1-c]-[1,4,7]triazacycloundecin-8(9H)-one.     

On the importance of the pore inner cavity for the ionophoric activity of 1,3-alternate calix[4]arene/steroid conjugates

1,3-Alternate calix[4]arenes, decorated with four nonpolar ‘all-trans’ tetracyclic nuclei and cation-stabilizing β-methoxyethoxy appendages, were synthesized from commercially available starting materials and through straightforward functional groups transformations/couplings. Their Na⁺-transport activities, when compared with those exerted by the known conformationally-rigidified 1,3-alternate calix[4]arene AB/cis cholic acid conjugates, suggest that the cation conductance is related to the morphology of the pendant steroids.     

[1,3]Dioxolo[5,6][1]benzothieno[2,3-c]-quinolin-6(5H)-ones

Summary The reaction of 3,4-methylenedioxycinnamic acid (1) with thionyl chloride resulted in the formation of 7-chlorothieno[2,3-f]-1,3-benzodioxole-6-carbonyl chloride (2) and cinnamoyl chloride (3). Subsequent reaction of the former withp-substituted anilines led to the formation of 7-chloro-N-(p-substituted phenyl)-thieno[2,3-f]-1,3-benzodioxole-6-carboxamides (4a–c) which on photocyclization afforded 2-substituted [1,3]dioxolo[5,6][1]benzothieno[2,3-c]quinolin-6(5H)-ones (5a–c) in fairly good yields and high purity. The structures have been confirmed by IR,¹H NMR, and analytical methods.Accepted for presentation at the Hong Kong International Symposium on Heterocyclic Chemistry (August 13–16, 1995)     

New heterocyclic structures. [1,3]Thiazino[3,2-a]purine and [1,2,3]triazolo[4,5-d][1,3]thiazino[3,2-a]pyrimidine

Derivatives of two new molecular structures, namely, [1,3]thiazino[3,2-a]purine and [1,2,3]triazolo[4,5-d]-[1,3]thiazino[3,2-a]pyrimidine, were synthesized together with other heterocyclic compounds. Retrosynthetic analysis of their molecular skeletons suggested a simple way of obtaining 3,4-dihydro-7,8-diamino-2H,6H-pyrimido[2,1-b][1,3]thiazin-6-one, which is a useful intermediate for their synthesis. This intermediate and the thiazole homologue were obtained directly by reaction of 5,6-diamino-2,3-dihydro-2-thioxo-4(lH)-pyrimidi-none with 1,3- or 1,2-dibromoalkane, respectively.     

Access to functionalized 4-benzylidene-4H-benzo[d][1,3]thiazines via tandem addition-cyclization/cross-coupling reactions

Tandem addition-cyclization reactions of various 2-alkynylbenzenamines with CS₂ lead to the formation of 2-mercapto-4-benzylidene-4H-benzo[d][1,3]thiazines under mild conditions. The reactions showed moderate to excellent yields and were highly regiospecific, and only the six-membered ring was generated via 6-exo-dig S-cyclization. The reaction can be transferred to highly functionalized 4-benzylidene-4H-benzo[d][1,3]thiazines via CuI-catalyzed crossing-coupling and reductive coupling reactions.     

Synthesis and heteronuclear inclusion properties of a novel thiacalix[4]arene-based hard-soft receptor with 1,3-alternate conformation

A novel thiacalix[4]arene ditopic receptor with 1,3-alternate conformation and possessing two complexation sites for hard and soft cations, 5,11,17,23-tetra-tert-butyl-25,27-bis[(N,N-diethylaminocarbonyl)methoxy]-26,28-bis[(pyridylmethyl)oxy]-2,8,14,20-tetrathiacalix[4]arene is prepared. Regioselective synthesis of distal-bis[(N,N-diethylaminocarbonyl)methoxy]thiacalix[4]arene is accomplished by a protection-deprotection method using benzyl groups as a protecting group. The deprotection of benzyl group was succeeded in the presence of solid superacid (Nafion-H) under refluxing benzene. Its complexation behavior is examined by ¹H-NMR titration experiments. The formation of 1:2 homo- and heteronuclear complexes demonstrates that the preorganization, subtle conformational changes and affinity have a pronounced effect on the complexation of the receptor.     

Hard–Soft Receptors, Tetrakis[(N,N-diethylaminocarbonyl)methoxy] thiacalix[4]arene Derivatives with cone and 1,3-alternate Conformation

Direct O-alkylation of p-tert-butyltetrathiacalix[4]arene with N,N-diethylchloroacetamide afforded two conformational isomers (1,3-alternate and cone) of tetrakis[(N,N-diethylaminocarbonyl)methoxy]thiacalix[4]arene and 1,3-disubstituted bis[(N,N-diethylaminocarbonyl)methoxy]thiacalix[4]arene, depending on the base used. The complaxation behaviors of the tetrakis isomers were assessed by ¹H NMR titration experiments. Evidence of 1:2 (homo- and hetero-dinuclear) complexes formation of 1,3-alternate-tetrakis[(N,N-diethylaminocarbonyl)methoxy]thiacalix[4]arene with alkali (K⁺ and Na⁺) or transition (Ag⁺) metal ions was obtained. Interestingly, it was found that the cone-tetrakis[(N,N-diethylaminocarbonyl)methoxy]thiacalix[4]arene required a prior Ag⁺ complexation to form 1:2 heterodinuclear complex.

Synthesis and stereochemical studies of 1- and 2-phenyl-substituted 1,3-oxazino[4,3-a]isoquinoline derivatives

Starting from the 1′- or 2′-phenyl-substituted 1-(2′-hydroxyethyl)-6,7-dimethoxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline diastereomers 3 and 6, 4-unsubstituted and 4-(p-nitrophenyl)- and 4-oxo-substituted 1-phenyl- and 2-phenyl-9,10-dimethoxy-2H,4H-1,6,7,11b-tetrahydro-1,3-oxazino[4,3-a]isoquinolines (7-12) were prepared. The relative configurations and the predominant conformations of the products were determined by NMR spectroscopy, by quantum chemical calculations and, for (2R^∗,4S^∗,11bR^∗)-9,10-dimethoxy-4-(p-nitrophenyl)-2-phenyl-2H,4H-1,6,7,11b-tetrahydro-1,3-oxazino[4,3-a]isoquinoline (11), by X-ray diffraction.     

Protonation of 25,27-bis(1-octyloxy)calix[4]arene-crown-6 in the 1,3-alternate conformation

From extraction experiments in the two-phase water-nitrobenzene system and γ-activity measurements, the stability constant of protonated 1,3-alternate-25,27-bis(1-octyloxy)calix[4]arene-crown-6 in nitrobenzene saturated with water was determined. By using DFT calculations, the most probable structure of the 1,3-alternate-25,27-bis(1-octyloxy)calix[4]arene-crown-6 · H₃O⁺ complex species was derived.

A one-pot synthesis and 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of [1,2]dithiolo[4,3-b]indole-3(4H)-thiones

Treatment of N-substituted 2-methyl-1H-indoles 1 with S₂Cl₂ and DABCO in chloroform gave the corresponding [1,2]dithiolo[4,3-b]indole-3(4H)-thiones 5 by the addition of triethylamine in high yield. 1,2-Dithiole-3-thiones 5 underwent cycloaddition with one or two DMAD equivalents to afford either 2-(3-thioxo-1,3-dihydro-2H-indol-2-ylidene)-1,3-dithioles 10 or fused 4,5-dihydrothiopyrano[3,2-b]indoles 9.
