Synthesis of 2-(4H-1,2,6-thiadiazin-4-ylidene)malononitriles

The base-free TiCl₄-mediated condensation of 3,5-disubstituted-4H-1,2,6-thiadiazin-4-ones 8 with malononitrile affords 20 difficult to access (3,5-disubstituted-4H-1,2,6-thiadiazin-4-ylidene)malononitriles 7. The reaction tolerates 3,5-diaryl, diphenoxy, dimethoxy and diphenylthio substituted thiadiazinones, but not diamino, monohydroxy or dihalo substituents. Nevertheless, asymmetrically substituted 3-halo-5-phenyl- and 3-chloro-5-methoxy-4H-1,2,6-thiadiazin-4-ones convert into the corresponding ylidenemalononitriles in good yield. Furthermore, the condensation works well with ethyl cyanoacetate and diethyl malonate, but not with Meldrum's acid, dimedone or nitromethane. Finally, 2-(3-chloro-5-phenyl-4H-1,2,6-thiadiazin-4-ylidene)malononitrile (7q) reacts with aniline to give 4,7-diphenyl-6-(phenylimino)-6,7-dihydropyrrolo[2,3-c][1,2,6]thiadiazine-5-carbonitrile (12) in moderate yield demonstrating the potential use of these ylidenes to prepare novel 6–5 fused 4H-1,2,6-thiadiazines.     

Synthesis of asymmetric 3,5-diaryl-4H-1,2,6-thiadiazin-4-ones via Suzuki–Miyaura and Stille coupling reactions

Asymmetric 3,5-diaryl substituted 4H-1,2,6-thiadiazin-4-ones can be prepared from 3,5-dichloro-4H-1,2,6-thiadiazin-4-one (1) via a multi-step protocol: selective nucleophilic mono-chloro substitution gives either the mono-methoxy or benzyloxy substituted mono-chlorothiadiazinones that can be phenylated via Suzuki–Miyaura coupling. Subsequent BBr₃ mediated dealkylation gives 3-hydroxy-5-phenyl-4H-1,2,6-thiadiazin-4-one (9) that can be activated by a modified Finkelstein halodehydroxylation via the triflate, enabling further arylation reactions using Suzuki–Miyaura or Stille coupling chemistry.     

The synthesis of pyrrolo[2,3-c][1,2,6]thiadiazine-5-carbonitriles from (4H-1,2,6-thiadiazin-4-ylidene)malononitriles

[3,5-Bis(dialkylamino)-4H-1,2,6-thiadiazin-4-ylidene]propanedinitriles 6a-c, react with sodium methoxide or ethoxide to give the corresponding 6-alkoxy-4-dialkylamino substituted pyrrolo[2,3-c][1,2,6]thiadiazine-5-carbonitriles 7a-f in variable yields. These new compounds are fully characterised and two rational mechanisms are proposed for their formation.     

Pd-catalyzed C-N coupling of primary (het)arylamines with 5-substituted 3-chloro-4H-1,2,6-thiadiazin-4-ones

The Buchwald-Hartwig Pd-catalyzed C-N coupling reaction of 5-substituted 3-chloro-4H-1,2,6-thiadiazin-4-ones with primary (het)arylamines is described, affording twenty new 3,5-disubstituted 4H-1,2,6-thiadiazin-4-ones in 56–99% yield. The protocol enables the mild preparation of difficult to access 3,5-dianilino-1,2,6-4H-thiadiazin-4-ones. The reaction scope and limitations are discussed.     

Selective Stille coupling reactions of 3-chloro-5-halo(pseudohalo)-4H-1,2,6-thiadiazin-4-ones

A series of 3-chloro-5-halo(pseudohalo)-4H-1,2,6-thiadiazin-4-ones (halo/pseudohalo = Br, I, OTf) are prepared from 3,5-dichloro-4H-1,2,6-thiadiazin-4-one (3) in good yields. Of these the triflate reacts with tributyltin arenes (Stille couplings) chemoselectively to give only the 5-aryl-3-chloro-4H-1,2,6-thiadiazin-4-ones in high yields. This allowed the preparation of a series of unsymmetrical biaryl thiadiazines and ultimately a series of oligomers. Furthermore, treatment of 3-chloro-5-iodo-4H-1,2,6-thiadiazin-4-one (10) with Bu(3)SnH and Pd(OAc)(2) gave the bithiadiazinone which can also be further arylated via the Stille reaction to give bisthien-2-yl and bis(N-methylpyrrol-2-yl) analogs.     

Reactions of 1,1-diaryl-2-isopropylidene-3-methylenecyclopropanes with C,N-diarylnitrones and nitrile oxides

The reactions of unactivated bis(methylene)cyclopropanes with nitrones and nitrile oxides have been investigated. The 1,1-diaryl-2-isopropylidene-3-methylenecyclopropanes react with the C,N-diarylnitrones to give a mixture of 2,2-dimethyl-1,6-diaryl-3-(diarylmethylene)piperidin-4-ones and 5-methyl-1-aryl-1-(arylamino)-4-(diarylmethylene)hex-5-en-3-ones. 2,3-Dihydro-3-methylenepyridin-4(1H)-ones are obtained by reaction of 1,1-diaryl-2-isopropylidene-3-methylenecyclopropanes with nitrile oxides.     

Palladium catalyzed C-C coupling reactions of 3,5-dichloro-4H-1,2,6-thiadiazin-4-one

Palladium catalyzed Suzuki-Miyaura, Stille, and Sonogashira coupling reactions are reported for the electron-deficient heterocyclic scaffold 3,5-dichloro-4H-1,2,6-thiadiazin-4-one (1). Furthermore, 3,5-di(thien-2-yl)-4H-1,2,6-thiadiazin-4-one (7m) is further elaborated to afford the tetrathienyl 3,5-bis[(2,2'-bithien)-5-yl]-4H-1,2,6-thiadiazin-4-one (9). All compounds are fully characterized.     

Synthesis and Evaluation of Novel 1,2,6-Thiadiazinone Kinase Inhibitors as Potent Inhibitors of Solid Tumors

A focused series of substituted 4H-1,2,6-thiadiazin-4-ones was designed and synthesized to probe the anti-cancer properties of this scaffold. Insights from previous kinase inhibitor programs were used to carefully select several different substitution patterns. Compounds were tested on bladder, prostate, pancreatic, breast, chordoma, and lung cancer cell lines with an additional skin fibroblast cell line as a toxicity control. This resulted in the identification of several low single digit micro molar compounds with promising therapeutic windows, particularly for bladder and prostate cancer. A number of key structural features of the 4H-1,2,6-thiadiazin-4-one scaffold are discussed that show promising scope for future improvement.     

Synthesis of 4-substituted 3-hydroxy-and 3-amino-6H-1,2,6-thiadiazine 1,1-dioxides

Reaction of sulfamide with ethoxymethylene derivatives yielded 4-ethoxycarbonyl-, 4-cyano-, and 4-nitro-2H,6H-1,2,6-thiadiazine 1,1-dioxide. In some cases, the corresponding open chain sulfamidomethylene derivatives were isolated. Preparation of 4-amino- and 4-amino-5-methyl-2H,6H-1,2,6-thiadiazin-3-one 1,1-dioxide is also described. Reaction of sulfamide with ethyl 3,3-ethoxypropionate afforded 3,7-bis(etlioxycarbonylmethyl)perhydro-1,5,2,4,6,8-dithiatetra-zocine 1,1,5,5-tetroxide.     

Five-membered 2,3-dioxoheterocycles: LXXXVI. Spiro-heterocyclization of 1-aryl-4-aroyl-5-methoxycarbonyl-1H-pyrrole-2,3-diones under the action of 3-arylamino-1H-inden-1-ones. Crystal and molecular structure of 4′-hydroxy-3′-(2,4-dimethylbenzoyl)-1,1′-diphenyl-1H-spiro[indeno[1,2-b]pyrrole-3,2′-pyrrole]-2,4,5′(1′H)-trione

1-Aryl-4-aroyl-5-methoxycarbonyl-1H-pyrrole-2,3-diones react with 3-arylamino-1H-inden-1-ones affording 1,1??-diaryl-3??-aroyl-4??-hydroxy-1H-spiro[indeno[1,2-b]pyrrole-3,2??-pyrrole]-2,4,5??(1??H)-triones. The crystal and molecular structure of 4??-hydroxy-3??-(2,4-dimethylbenzoyl)-1,1??-diphenyl-1H-spiro[indeno[1,2-b] pyrrole-3,2??-pyrrole]-2,4,5??(1??H)-trione.     

Reaction of 3,4,4,5-tetrachloro-4H-1,2,6-thiadiazine with benzyltriethylammonium chloride

3,4,4,5-Tetrachloro-4H-1,2,6-thiadiazine was reacted with BnEt₃NCl (10?mol%) to give perchloro-9-thia-1,5,8,10-tetraazaspiro[5.5]undeca-1,4,7,10-tetraene (up to 18% yield), 4,5,6-trichloropyrimidine-2-carbonitrile (up to 44% yield) and four minor side products: 2,7-dichlorothiazolo[5,4-d]pyrimidine-5-carbonitrile, 2-(4-chloro-6H-thiazolo[5,4-c][1,2,6]thia-diazin-6-ylidene)malononitrile, 4,8-dichloropyrrolo[2′,1′:2,3]imidazo[4,5-c][1,2,6]thiadiazine-6,7-dicarbonitrile and 4,7-dichloro-[1,2,6]thiadiazino[3,4-b]thiazolo[5,4-e][1,4]diazepin-9(10H)-one. Single crystal X-ray studies support the structures of the minor products. Tentative rationale for the formation of these minor products and the synthesis of 8-bromo-4-chloropyrrolo[2′,1′:2,3]imidazo[4,5-c][1,2,6]thiadiazine-6,7-dicarbonitrile are presented.     

A tandem multi-component synthesis of 5,7-diaryl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-1H-pyrido[3,4-b][1,4]thiazin-2(3H)-ones

The five-component reaction of ethyl 2-[(2-oxopropyl)sulfanyl]acetate, aromatic aldehydes, and ammonium acetate affords two diastereomers of 5,7-diaryl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-1H-pyrido[3,4-b][1,4]thiazin-2(3H)-ones via a novel tandem Mannich-enamine-substitution sequence. Presumably, they are generated from ethyl 2-[(4-oxo-2,6-diaryl-3-piperidinyl)sulfanyl]acetates. During the formation of the trans-5,7-diaryl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-1H-pyrido[3,4-b][1,4]-thiazin-2(3H)-ones from ethyl 2-[(4-oxo-2,6-diaryl-3-piperidinyl)sulfanyl]acetates, the configuration at the carbon bearing an aryl group adjacent to the enamide CC double bond is inverted via ring opening and closure. When o-substituted benzaldehydes were employed in this reaction, 5,7-diaryl-5,6-dihydro-1H-pyrido[3,4-b][1,4]thiazin-2(3H)-ones were obtained via air oxidation, along with trans-5,7-diaryl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-1H-pyrido[3,4-b][1,4]-thiazin-2(3H)-ones.     

Efficient synthesis of 6-aryl-4-trifluoromethyl/ethoxycarbonyl-2H-pyran-2-ones through self-condensation of penta-2,4-dienenitriles

An efficient synthesis of two new series of 6-aryl-4-trifluoromethyl-2H-pyran-2-ones and 6-aryl-4-carboxyethyl-2H-pyran-2-ones, obtained through the self-condensation reaction of 5-aryl-5-methoxy-3-(trifluoromethyl)penta-2,4-dienenitriles 3 and ethyl 4-aryl-2-(cyanomethylene)-4-methoxybut-3-enoates 4 respectively, is reported. The self-condensation reaction of the enoates 4 was performed in water in the presence of hydrochloric acid whereas the self-condensation reaction of the penta-2,4-dienenitriles 3 required the use of zinc bromide and hydrochloric acid in order to give the respective 2H-pyran-2-ones. Products were obtained up to 97% yield.     

Synthesis 5-(pyrazolin-3-ylmethylidene)-2-thiohydantoins and 2-alkylsulfanyl-5-(pyrazolin-3-ylmethylidene)-3,5-dihydro-4<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>-imidazol-4-ones

A reaction of 3-allyl- and 3-phenylthiohydantoins with 1,5-diphenyl- and 1-phenyl-substituted 3-formyl-2-pyrazolines was used to obtain a series of 5-(pyrazolin-3-ylmethylidene)-2-thioxotetrahydro-4H-imidazol-4-ones, the subsequent alkylation of which with methyl iodide or ethyl chloroacetate gave the corresponding 2-alkylthio-5-(pyrazolin-3-ylmethylidene)-3,5-dihydro-4H-imidazol-4-ones in the yields from 30 to 77%. The oxidation of (5Z)-3-phenyl-5-[(1,5-diphenylpyrazolin-3-yl)methylidene]-2-methylsulfanyl-4,5-dihydroimidazol-4-one with lead tetraacetate led to the corresponding pyrazole in 48% yield.     

Zur Kenntnis der Substitutionsprodukte der (2H)-Imidazol-4(3H)-thione und 2H-Imidazol-4(3H)-one

2H-Imidazole-4(3H)-thiones (a), available from methyl alkyl and methyl aryl ketones with sulfur and ammonia, react via their corresponding N-sodium compounds or in presence of tert. amines with alkyl and aryl carboxylic acid chlorides to give the corresponding intensely coloured (orange to violett) cryst. 3-acyl-2H-imidazole-4(3H)-thiones4 a-q and6–26. With dicarboxylic acid dichlorides the colourless cryst. N,N′-diacyl-bis-3-imidazoline-5-thiones5 a-d and27–32 are obtained. With carbamic acid chlorides and chloroformic acid esters the corresponding urea (33–35) and urethane derivatives36, 37 are formed. In an analogous way 2H-imidazol-4(3H)-ones react with acid chlorides to 3-acyl-2-imidazol-4(3H)-ones (44–50), which can also be obtained by treating the corresponding 3-acyl-2H-imidazole-4(3H)-thione with KMnO₄.     

Synthesis of New 1H-indazole derivatives

Reactions of 3-aryl-1-phenyl-2-propen-1-ones IIa-d with ethyl phenylacetate (I) in the presence of sodium ethoxide under reflux for one hour gave only the corresponding 3,5-diaryl-2,4-dibenzoyl-6-phenyl-cyclo-hexanones IIIa-d. The reaction of these compounds with hydrazine hydrate afforded the corresponding 5-benzoyl-4,6-diaryl-3,7-diphenyl-1,4,5,6,7-pentahydro-1H-indazole IVa-d. The structures of the products were established by spectroscopic (ir, uv, nmr and mass spectra), single-crystal X-ray analysis and chemical evidence.     

Conformational and configurational studies on 3-azabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane (3-abn) derivatives and related systems employing carbon-13 NMR spectroscopy

The ¹³C nmr spectra of 4 cis-2,4-diphenyl-3-azabicyclo[3.3.1]nonanes, 11 cis-2,4-diaryl-3-azabicyclo[3.3.1]-nonan-9-ones, 26 cis-2,4-diaryl-3-azabicyclo[3.3.1]-nonan-9-ols or acetates thereof, 5 cis-2,4-diaryl-3-azabi-cyclo[4.3.1]decan-10-ones or -10-ols and 5 cis-2,4-diphenyl-3-aza-7-thiabicyclo[3.3.1]nonan-9-ones, -9-ols or 9-yl acetates have been recorded. Except for the 7-thia compounds, which appear to exist mainly in the configuration and conformation with the nitrogen-containing ring in the boat form, these compounds seem to exist overwhelmingly in chair-chair conformations. The configuration of the 9-ols and their acetates (syn or anti to the nitrogen-containing ring) has been deduced from the spectra. In a number of cases, the structures assigned differ from those earlier postulated. Broadening of one set of aryl signals (probably those due to the ortho carbons) in the case of N-methyl (but not N-H) compounds without ortho substituents is ascribed to restricted phenyl rotation.     

Intramolecular electrophilic cyclization of functional derivatives of unsaturated compounds: III. Reaction of N,4-Diarylbut-3-enamides with arenesulfenyl chlorides. Synthesis of 5-aryl-4-arylsulfanyl-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-1-benzazepin-2-ones

N-Aryl-4-phenylbut-3-enamides reacted with arenesulfenyl chlorides in chloroform to give N,4-diaryl-3-arylsulfanyl-4-chlorobutanamides, whereas in acetic acid in the presence of lithium perchlorate N-[4-arylsulfanyl-5-phenyltetrahydrofuran-2-ylidene]arenaminium perchlorates were obtained. Reactions of arenesulfenyl chlorides with N,4-diarylbut-3-enamides having strong electron-donating groups in positions 3 and 4 of the N-aryl substituent afforded 5-aryl-4-arylsulfanyl-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-1-benzazepin-2-ones.     

Five-membered 2,3-dioxo heterocycles: XCIII. Spiro heterocyclization of 4,5-diaroyl-1H-pyrrole-2,3-diones with acyclic enamine. Crystalline and molecular structure of substituted 1,7-diazaspiro[4.4]nonane

4,5-Diaroyl-1-aryl-1H-pyrrole-2,3-diones reacted with ethyl 3-amino-3-phenylprop-2-enoate to give ethyl 4-aroyl-1,6-diaryl-3-hydroxy-2-oxo-8-phenyl-1,7-diazaspiro[4.4]nona-3,6,8-triene-9-carboxylates. The crystalline and molecular structures of ethyl 4-benzoyl-3-hydroxy-1-(4-methylphenyl)-2-oxo-6,8-diphenyl-1,7-diazaspiro[4.4]nona-3,6,8-triene-9-carboxylate were determined by X-ray analysis.     

A simple and convenient synthesis of 3-[5-(trifluoromethyl)-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl]cinnamic acids from 4-aryl-6-(trifluoromethyl)-2H-pyran-2-ones and sodium azide

4-Aryl-6-(trifluoromethyl)-2H-pyran-2-ones and ethyl 4-aryl-6-(trifluoromethyl)-2-oxo-2H-pyran-3-carboxylates react with sodium azide to produce highly functionalized CF₃-1,2,3-triazoles: 3-[5-(trifluoromethyl)-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl]cinnamic acids and monoethyl esters of [5-(trifluoromethyl)-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl]arylmethylidene malonic acids.
