Study of the Three-component Reaction of α-Nitrocarbonyl Compounds, Aromatic Aldehydes, and Cyanothioacetamide

The reaction of benzaldehyde, -nitro ketone, and cyanothioacetamide in the presence of morpholine has given the novel 3,4-trans-2-R-5-cyano-2-hydroxy-3-nitro-4-phenyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyridine-6-thiolates. It was found that the reaction occurs via the formation of 1-amino-2-cyano-4-nitro-5-oxo-3-phenyl-1,2-pentene-1-thiolate. In the case of -nitroacetophenone, 3,4-trans-4,5-trans-5-cyano-2-hydroxy-3-nitro-2,4-diphenylhexahydropyridine-6(1H)-thione was also obtained. The use of -nitroesters in place of the nitro ketones in the reaction leads to morpholinium 2-aryl-1-carbethoxy-3-cyano-1-nitro-3-thiocarbamoylpropyl-1-ates as the single product.     

Studies on reactive intermediates. Part I. An approach to the synthesis of 2-phenyl-7-carbethoxy-5H-1,3,4-thiadiazolo[2,3-a]pyrimidin-5-one

To assign the structure of compound 5 , 2-phenyl-5-carbethoxy-7H-1,3,4-thiadiazolo[2,3-a]pyrimidin-7-one ( 6 ) was prepared from the reaction of 2-amino-5-phenyl-1,3,4-thiadiazole ( 7 ) with diethylacetylene dicarboxylate. Physical properties and spectral data of compound 6 were different from compound 5 . Theoretical and experimental aspects are discussed.

This paper reports the synthesis of 10-phenyl-2H-pyridazino[4,5-b]quinoline-1-thione 10 and its further transformation into the hitherto unknown 12-phenyl-1,2,4-triazolo[4′,3′:1,6]pyridazino[4,5-b]quinoline 4 . 3-Carbethoxy-2-dichloromethyl-4-phenylquinoline 8 was reacted with hydrazine to give 9 which in turn was transformed by the Lawesson Reagent into the corresponding thione 10 . On treating 10 with anhydrous hydrazine, 11 was obtained and subsequently cyclized in the presence of formic or acetic acids to afford the tetracyclic derivatives 4a and 4b , respectively, in satisfactory yields. When 3-carbethoxy-2-chloromethyl-4-phenylquinoline 5 was reacted with hydrazine, compound 7 was the sole isolated product.

Synthesis of pyrido[1,2-a]pyrimido[4,5-d]pyrimidin-5-ones. Cyclization reaction of 4-[(3-hydroxy-2-pyridyl)amino]-2-phenyl-5-pyrimidinecarboxylic acid with acetic anhydride

Treatment of 4-[(3-hydroxy-2-pyridyl)amino]-2-phenyl-5-pyrimidinecarboxylic acid (X) with acetic anhydride under refluxing conditions afforded 10-hydroxy-2-phenyl-5H-pyrido[1,2-a]-pyrimido[4,5-d]pyrimidin-5-one acetate (IX). The intermediate X was prepared from 4-chloro-2-phenyl-5-pyrimidinecarboxylic acid ethyl ester (V). The reaction of V with the sodium salt of 2-amino-3-hydroxypyridine at room temperature gave 4-(2-amino-3-pyridyloxy)-2-phenyl-5-pyrimidinecarboxylic acid ethyl ester (VI). Treatment of VI with a hot aqueous sodium hydroxide solution and subsequent acidification gave X. Involvement of 4-[(3-hydroxy-2-pyridyl)amino]-2-phenyl-5-pyrimidinecaroboxylic acid ethyl ester (VIII) (Smiles rearrangement product) as an intermediate in the above alkaline hydrolysis reaction of VI to X was demonstrated by the isolation of VIII and its subsequent conversion into X under alkaline hydrolysis conditions. Acetylation of VIII with acetic anhydride in pyridine solution gave 4-[(3-hydroxy-2-pyridyl)amino]-2-phenyl-5-pyrimidinecarboxylic acid ethyl ester acetate (XI), which afforded IX on fusion at 220°. This alternative synthesis of IX from XI supported the structural assignment of IX. Fusion of VI gave 10-hydroxy-2-phenyl-5H-pyrido[1,2-a]pyrimido]4,5-d]pyrimidin-5-one (VII). The latter was also obtained when VIII was fused at 210°. Acetylation of VII with acetic anhydride afforded IX.

Synthesis and S-methylation of 2-thioxopyrido[3′,2′:4,5]thieno[3,2-d]-pyrimidin-4(3H)-ones with and without a phase transfer catalyst

A number of 2-thioxopyrido[3′,2′:4,5]thieno[3,2-H]pyrimdin-4(3H-ones (5) have been synthesized by cyclocondensation of 2-carbethoxy-3-amino-4-phenyl-6-substituted-thieno[2,3-b]pyridines (3) with various isothiocyanates. Compounds 5 were S-methylated routinely and the reactions compared under solid-liquid phase transfer conditions to obtain 2-methylthiopyrido[3′,2′:4,5]thieno[3,2-d]pyrimidin-4(3H)-^ones (6). The new triheterocyclic pyridothienopyrimidines were prepared with the objective to study their pharmacological properties.

It was demonstrated that although compounds I, III and IV with hydrazine gave 7H-1,2,3-thiadiazolo[4,5-d]-pyridazin-7-one (XXII), 7-phenyl-1,2,3-thiadiazolo[4,5-d]pyridazine (XXIII) and 4-phenyl-1,2,3-thiadiazolo[4,5-d]pyridazine (XXV), respectively; however, compound I gave its corresponding hydrazone (XXIV).     

Synthesis of 2-carbethoxy-3-methyl-4-hydroxybenzofuran derivatives

A number of 2-.carbethoxy-3-methylbenzofuran derivatives were synthesized. A 5,5-gem-dibromo derivative was obtained in the bromination of 2-carbethoxy-3-methyl-4-oxo-4, 5,6,7,tetrahydrobenzofuran. Dehydrobromination of this, dibromo derivative gave 2-carbethoxy-3-methyl-4-hydroxy-5-bromobenzofuran. Depending on the structure of the starting compound and the brominating agent, the bromine in the bromination of 2-carbethoxy-3-methyl-4-hydroxy- and 4-acetoxybenzofurans with bromine and N-bromosuccinimide is incorporated either in the methyl group or in 5 and 7 positions of the benzofuran ring. The nitration of 2-carbethoxy-3-methyl-4-hydroxybenzofuran and its bromo derivative leads to 5-nitro- and 5,7-dinitrobenzofuran derivatives. The structures of the synthesized benzofuran derivatives were established by means of the PMR spectra.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 1, pp. 27–29, January, 1980.

Photoinduzierte 1, 3-dipolare Cycloaddition von 3-Phenyl-2H-azirinen an Azodicarbonsäure-diäthylester. 32. Mitteilung über Photoreaktionen

Irradiation of 2, 2-dimethyl-3-phenyl- ( 1a ), 2, 3-diphenyl-2H-azirine ( 1b ) or the azirine-precursors 1-azido-1-phenyl-propene ( 2a ) and 1-azido-1-phenyl-ethylene ( 2b ), respectively, in benzene in the presence of azodicarboxylic acid diethylester, yields the corresponding 1, 2-carbethoxy-3-phenyl-Δ³-1, 2, 4-triazolines 4a–d (Scheme 1). Refluxing 4 ( a, c or d ) in 0, 2–0, 4M aqueous ethanolic potassium hydroxide leads to the formation of the 1-carbethoxy-3-phenyl-Δ²-1, 2, 4-triazolines 6 ( a, c or d ). Under the same conditions 4b is converted to 3, 5-diphenyl-1, 2, 4-triazole ( 7b , Scheme 2). In 10M aqueous potassium hydroxide solution heating of either 4 ( c or d ) or 6 ( c or d ) yields the 3-phenyl-1, 2, 4-triazoles 7 ( c or d ). Photolysis of 1-carbethoxy-5, 5-dimethyl-3-phenyl-Δ²-1, 2, 4-triazoline ( 6a ) in benzene in the presence of oxygen and trifluoroacetic acid methylester gives the 5-methoxy-2, 2-dimethyl-4-phenyl-5-trifluoromethyl-3-oxazoline ( 13 , Scheme 5). 5, 5-Dimethyl-3-phenyl-1, 2, 4-triazole seems to be the intermediate, which on losing nitrogen gives the benzonitrile-isopropylide ( 3a ).

Ethyl acetoacetate reacted with 3-bromo-1,1,1-trifluoro-2-propanone in the presence of base to give 3-carbethoxy-4,5-dihydro-4-hydroxy-2-methyl-4-trifluoromethylfuran (I). Acid catalyzed dehydration of I gave the corresponding furan (III). Saponification of III gave 2-methyl-4-trifluoromethyl-3-furoic acid which was decarboxylated to yield 2-methyl-4-trifluoromethylfuran (V) for which a structure proof is presented. Conversion of the methyl groups of III and V to formyl groups is described.

Reaction of these with tosylhydrazine gave 4-oxo-5-tosylhydrazino derivatives which were decomposed by alkali to give the corresponding 2,3-diaryl-5-diazo-6,6-dimethyl-4-oxo-4,5,6,7-tetrahydroindazoles. __________ Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 12, pp. 1829–1833, December, 2005
