Thermal rearrangement and fragmentation of 1a, 7b-dihydro-1H-cyclopropa[c]cinnolines

Heating of 1a, b in boiling xylene resulted in the rearranged products 2a, b , probably through concerted ring cleavage and 1,5-hydrogen shift. Under the same conditions, 1c reacted slowly to give a mixture from which the fragmentation products 4 and 5 were obtained.     

Syntheses of 4-(benzo[b]furan-2 or 3-yl)- and 4-(benzo[b]-thiophen-3-yl)piperidines with 5-HT2 antagonist activity

Reaction of 1-acetyl-4-(2,4-difluorobenzo-yl)piperidine 2 with methyl glycolate gave methyl 6-fluoro-3-(1-acetylpiperidin-4-yl)benzo[b]furan-2-carboxylate 3 , which was converted to 2-[2-[4-(benzo[b]furan-3-yi)piperidin-1-yl]ethyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-1,2,4-triazolo-[4,3-a]pyridin-3(2H)-one hydrochloride 9 . Analogous benzo[b]furans 17a-d and benzo[b]thiophenes 10a,b and 18a were prepared by a similar method. Cyclization of 4-fluoro-2-(4-pyridinylmethoxy)acetophenones 20a,b afforded 4-(benzo[b]furan-2-yl)pyridines 21a,b , which were converted to 2-[2-[4-(benzo[b]furan-2-yl)-piperidin-1-yl]ethyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-a]pyridin-3(2H)-one hydrochlorides 24a,b.

Upon reaction with MeOH/H⁺ it is converted to a 1:2 mixture of 1- and 2-methylnaphthoate ( 10 and 11 , respectively).     

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of Methyl(7,7-Dimethyl-2-amino-4-(4-chlorophenyl)-5-oxo-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-4H-benzo-[b]-pyran-3-yl)Carboxylate

<正>The title compound methyl (7,7-dimemyl-2-amino-4-(4-chlorophenyl)-5-oxo-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-4H-benzo-[b]-pyran-3-yl) carboxylate (C19H20ClNO4, Mr = 361.81) was synthesized and crystallized. The crystal belongs to triclinic, space group P 1 with a = 8.519(2), b = 10.346(2), c = 11.481(3) A, α = 108.16(1), β = 107.78(2), γ= 91.83(2)°, Z = 2, V = 906.5(3) A3, Dc = 1.326 g/cm3, μ(MoKα) = 0.234 mm-1, F(000) = 380, R = 0.0467 and wR = 0.1270 for 3142 observed reflections (I > 2σ(I)). X-ray analysis reveals that the C(7), C(8), C(9), O(1), C(10) and C(11) atoms form a six-membered ring which adopts a boat conformation. In the ring, the distances of C(8)-C(9) and C(10)-C(11) are 1.332(3) and 1.357(3) A, respectively, which indicates that they are C=C double bonds. Another six-membered ring (C(8)-C(9)-C(15)-C(14)-C(13)-C(12)) adopts the half-chair confonnation. In addition, there are intermolecular hydrogen bonds in the crystal structure.

The reaction of 5a-acetyl-6-ethoxycarbonyl-5a,6a-dihydro-6H-cyclopropa[e]pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine-3-carbonitrile ( 1a ) with benzylamine gave ethyl l-benzyl-5-cyano-8a,9-dihydro-2-methyl-1H-pyrrolo[3,4-e]-pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine-8a-carboxylate ( 2a ), in addition to 5-acetyl-3-benzylamino-1-(4-cyanopyrazol-3-yl)- 2-pyridone ( 3 ). Reaction of 1a with aniline gave ethyl 6-acetyl-8-anilino-3-cyano-7,8-dihydro-4H-pyrazolo-[1,5-a][1,3]diazepine-8-carboxylate ( 4 ), in addition to ethyl 3-cyano-7-methyl-6-pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine-acrylate ( 5 ). On the other hand, the same reactions of 1b with benzylamine or aniline gave 2b or 8b , respectively. Though catalytic hydrogenation of 1a over 5% palladium-carbon proceeded by ring fission of cyclopropane ring to give 9 , 1a (or 1b ) afforded 4,5-dihydro derivatives ( 13 or 15 ) by catalytic hydrogenation over platinum oxide. The reactivity of 5-methoxy-4,5,5a,6a-tetrahydro-6H-cyclopropa[e]pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine ( 16 ), which are related analogs of 1a,b , is also described.

The syntheses of the K-oxide and K-imine derivatives of dibenz[a,j]anthracene ( 1 ) are described. The parent hydrocarbon 1 that was obtained as a side product in the Elbs pyrolysis of (2-methyl-1-naphthyl)-1′-naphthylmethanone ( 10 ) was oxidized to 3-(2-formylphenyl)-3-phenanthrenecarboxaldehyde ( 3 ). Treatment of the dialdehyde with tris(dimethylamino)phosphine gave 4b,5a-dihydrodibenz[3,4:5,6]anthra[1,2-b]oxirene ( 4 ). Reaction of the oxirane with sodium azide followed by triethyl phosphite cyclization of the mixture of trans azido-alcohols so formed, yielded mainly 4b,5a-dihydrodibenz[3,4:5,6]anthra[1,2-b]azirine ( 5 ).     

5α-androstano [3,2-b]pyridines, 5α-androstano[17,16-b]pyridines and androst-4 and 5-eno[17,16-b]pyridines

A new synthesis of 5α-androstano[3,2-b]pyridin-17β-ol acetate (VIa) and 17-methyl-5α-androstano[3,2-b]pyridin-17β-ol (VIb), first reported by Shimizu, Ohta, Ueno, and Takegoshi, was achieved. The analogous 5α - androstano[17,16-b]pyridin-3β-ol (XII), 5α-androstano[17,16-b]pyridin-3-one (XIVa), and androst-4-eno[17,16-b]pyridin-3-one (XIVb) were also prepared. An illustration of the method follows. Condensation of 3β-hydroxy-5α-androstan-17-one (VIIa) with 3-(2-furyl)acrolein afforded 16-[3-(2-furyl)-2-propenylidene]-3β-hydroxy-5α-androstan-17-one (VIIIa), the oxime (IXa) of which was thermally cyclized to 5α-androstano[17,16-b]-6′-(2-furyl)pyridin-3β-ol (Xa). 3β-Hydroxy-5α-androstano[17,16-b]pyridine-6′-carboxylic acid (XI) was obtained by ozonolysis of Xa. Thermal decarboxylation of XI gave XII. Cinnamaldehyde was used in place of 3-(2-furyl)acrolein to give the corresponding phenylpyridines.
