Synthesis of 8,9-difluoro-2-methyl-6-oxo-1,2-dihydropyrrolo[3,2,1-ij]quinoline-5-carboxylic acid

A new and efficient seven-step synthesis of 8,9-difluoro-2-methyl-6-oxo-1,2-dihydropyrrolo[3,2,1-ij]-quinoline-5-carboxylic acid ( 9 ), an important intermediate used in the synthesis of quinolone antibacterials, has been developed beginning with commercially available 2,3,4-trifluoronitrobenzene. Selective displacement of the 2-fluorine of the starting material with the anion of ethyl acetoacetate and subsequent hydrolysis and decarboxylation affords the arylacetone derivative 11 . Reduction of the ketone and nitro groups of 11 followed by condensation with diethyl ethoxymethylenemalonate gives 14 , which is cyclized to the indole derivative 15 by the Mitsunobu procedure. Friedel-Crafts cyclization of 15 and acid hydrolysis gives the title compound 9 .

Quinolizines and indolizines. Part 16 . Synthesis of pyrrolo[3,2,1-ij]quinolin-4-ones with potential fungicidal activity

The synthesis of some derivatives of 1,2,5,6-tetrahydro-4H-pyrrolo[3,2,1-ij]quinolin-4-one (pyroquilon) having potential fungicidal activity has been accomplished starting with readily available 6-hydroxy-1,2-dihydro-4-pyrrolo[3,2,1-ij]quinolin-4-ones 3, 7. Functionalization in 6- or 5-position gave rise to the corresponding 6-and 5-substituted derivatives 8-12, 17 and 13-16, 20, 21 respectively. The formation of pyrrolo[3,2,1-ij]-pyrano[3,2-c]quinolines ( 5, 22, 23 ) and their degradation to acyl-substituted derivatives of 7 was studied.

Studies on antibacterial agents. II. Synthesis and antibacterial activities of substituted 1,2-dihydro-6-oxo-6H-pyrrolo[3,2,1-ij]quinoline-5-carboxylic acids

A series of substituted 1,2-dihydro-6-oxo-pyrrolo[3,2,1-ij]quinoline-5-carboxylic acids for the treatment of systemic infections was synthesized via 7-bromo-3-ethylthio-4,5-difluoro-2-methylindole (3), which was prepared by Gassman's indole synthesis in excellent yield. The synthesized pyrroloquinolines were tested for their antibacterial activities. 8-Fluoro-1,2-dihydro-2-methyl-9-(4-methyl-1-piperazinyl)-6-oxo-6H- pyrrolo[3,2,1-ij]quinoline-5-carboxylic acid showed a potent antibacterial activity against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria.     

A facile,catalyst-free synthesis of new polycyclic pyrrolo[1,2-b]pyrazolone derivatives

A convenient and efficient procedure has been developed for the synthesis of a new ring system, pyrrolo[1,2-b]pyrazolone, via two-component coupling reaction followed by base mediated intramolecular cyclization. Single-pot synthesis replacing the two step process has also been successfully carried out. A series of polycyclic pyrrolo[1,2-b]pyrazolone derivatives have been obtained by employing the procedure along with some fused pyrrol-1-ylamine system. The products were formed very rapidly in catalyst free condition in a good yield (up to 75%) and also it had tolerance to a wide scope of substrates.     

Protonation of pyrrolo[1,2-a] imidazole derivatives

The protonation of a number of pyrrolo[1,2-a]imidazole derivatives in trifluoroacetic acid was studied by PMR spectroscopy. The 5,7-unsubstituted compounds form a mixture of two forms of cations, the structures of which correspond to the addition of a proton to the C₅ and C₇ atoms of the two-ring system with predominance (60–90%) of the 5-C cation. The introduction of a CH₃ group into the 5 position changes the direction of protonation to favor predominant (95%) formation of the 7-C cation. The 7-methyl derivatives of pyrroloimidazole are protonated exclusively at the C₅ atom. It is demonstrated that the basicity of the pyrroloimidazoles considerably surpasses the basicity of indolicine derivatives. The comparative proton-acceptor capacity of these systems is compared with the energy indexes and the reactivity indexes calculated by the simple MO LCAO method.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 4, pp. 492–497, April, 1972.     

Synthesis of pyrrolo[1,2-b]cinnolines

The synthesis of the pyrrolo[1,2-b]cinnoline analogs 2 and 4–13 is described. The key step of this synthesis involves an intramolecular aromatic halide displacement on [2-(2-halobenzoyl)pyrrol-1-yl]carbamic acid esters. Several reactions of these cinnoline analogs with electrophilic reagents have been investigated.     

Protonation of pyrrolo[1,2-a]benzimidazole derivatives

The protonation of a number of pyrrolo[1,2-a]benzimidazole derivatives in trifluoroacetic acid was studied by PMR spectroscopy. 1,3-Unsubstituted compounds are protonated exclusively at the C₁ atom. Under similar conditions, pyrrolobenzimidazoles that have a methyl group in the 1 position form a mixture of two protonated forms, which correspond to the addition of a proton to C₁ and C₃, respectively. The relative percentage of the C₃-protonated form decreases successively (from 81 to 18%) on passing from the 3-unsubstituted compound to the corresponding 3-phenyl and 3-methyl derivatives. The basicity constants of the pyrrolobenzimidazoles decrease symbatically with an increase in the relative percentage of this form. The relative proton-acceptor capacity of indolicine, pyrrolo[1,2-a]-imidazole, and pyrrolo[1,2-a]benzimidazole were examined on the basis of the protonation data and the reactivity indexes, calculated by the simple Hückel MO method.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskih Soedinenii, No. 8, pp. 1132–1137, August, 1972.
