Alkylation of 2-(hydroxyimino)-5<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>-[1,3]thiazolo[3,2-<Emphasis Type="Italic">a</Emphasis>]-pyrimidin-3(2<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>)-ones

Alkylation products were obtained from ethyl 2-(hydroxyimino)-7-methyl-3-oxo-5-aryl-2,3- dihydro-5H-[1,3]thiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidin-6-carboxylates at the treatment with alkyl halides, dimethyl sulfate, and diazomethane. Diazomethane alkylated the initial substrate at the oxygen atom of the carbonyl group of the thiazolidine fragment, the other reagents, at the oxygen atom of the hydroxyimino group.     

Synthesis and reactivity of 4-hydroxy-5-methyl-2-(2-oxo-2<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>-chromen-3-yl)-6<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>-1,3-oxazin-6-ones

4-Hydroxy-6H-1,3-oxazin-6-ones with a coumarin fragment in position 2 of the oxazine ring were synthesized. Their hydrolysis, alcoholysis, and hydrazinolysis afforded a number of new coumarin derivatives containing malonamic acid and 1,2,4-triazole residues. The low stability of the title compounds toward oxygencentered nucleophiles was interpreted by quantum chemical calculations.     

Regioselective synthesis of polyfluoroalkyl-substituted 7-(1<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>-1,2,3-triazol-1-yl)-6,7-dihydro-1<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>-indazol-4(5<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>)-ones

3-Polyfluoroalkyl-6,6-dimethyl-7-(1H-1,2,3-triazol-1-yl)-6,7-dihydro-1H-indazol-4(5H)-ones were synthesized with high regioselectivity by 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of terminal alkynes (phenylacetylene, hex- 1-yne, hept-1-yne, and but-3-yn-1-ol) to 7-azido-6,6-dimethyl-3-polyfluoroalkyl-6,7-dihydro-1H-indazol-4(5H)-ones which were prepared by bromination of 6,6-dimethyl-3-polyfluoroalkyl-6,7-dihydro-1H-indazol- 4(5H)-ones with N-bromosuccinimide in anhydrous carbon tetrachloride, followed by treatment of the corresponding 7-bromo derivatives with sodium azide.     

Synthesis of 4-hydroxy-5-methyl-2-[2-(4-oxo-4<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>-chromen-3-yl)ethenyl]-6<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>-1,3-oxazin-6-ones and their reaction with hydrazine

4-Hydroxy-6H-1,3-oxazin-6-ones containing a 3-vinylchromone fragment in the 2-position were synthesized. The direction of their reactions with hydrazine hydrate was found to depend on the solvent nature. The reaction in protic solvents (methanol, acetic acid) resulted in recyclization of both oxazine ring to 1,2,4-triazole and pyranone ring to pyrazole. Aprotic acetonitrile favored attack of hydrazine exclusively on the oxazine ring, while the 3-vinylchromone fragment remained intact.     

Synthesis of (<Emphasis Type="Italic">S</Emphasis>)-(+)-6-aryl-3-acetyl-6-trifluoromethyl-5,6-dihydropyridin-2(1<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>)-ones

(S)-(+)-4-Amino-4-aryl-5,5,5-trifluoropentan-2-ones reacted with ethyl acetoacetate and ethyl trifluoroacetoacetate to give (S)-(+)-6-aryl-3-acetyl(or trifluoroacetyl)-6-trifluoromethyl-5,6-dihydropyridin-2(1H)-ones.     

Reaction 5-(Arylmethylidene)pyrimidine-2,4,6(1<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>,3<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>,5<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>)-triones with L-Proline and Aldehydes

Boiling in toluene of 5-(arylmethylidene)pyrimidine-2,4,6(1H,3H,5H)-triones with L-proline and aldehyde led to the formation of previously unknown substituted 1′-arylhexahydro-1H-spiro[pyrimidine-5,2′-pyrrolysine]-2,4,6(1H,3Н,5Н)-triones.     

Reaction of 2-(alkenylsulfanyl)pyrimidin-4(3<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>)-ones with hydrochloric acid

Hydrochloric acid reacts with 5-ethyl-2-methallylsulfanyl-6-methylpyrimidin-4(3H)-ones to protonate the nitrogen atom; it adds to the double bond of 2-prenylsulfanyl-6-(trifluoromethyl)pyrimidin-4(3H)-one and gives the addition and heterocyclization products in the case of 2-prenylsulfanyl-6-methylpyrimidin-4(3H)-one.     

Complexes of cobalt(II) halides with 2-(1<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>-pyrazol-1-yl)-4(3<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>)-pyrimidinone

The electronic structures of complexes of cobalt(II) halides with 2-(1H-pyrazol-1-yl)-4(3H)-pyrimidinone have been studied by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The Co2p _3/2 lines of cobalt atoms, N1s lines of nitrogen atoms, and O1s lines of oxygen atoms in the X-ray photoelectron spectra have been analyzed. Based on these data for the free and coordinated ligands, the atoms of the ligand coordinated to the central metal atom are determined. The coordinated organic compound serves as an electron-donating ligand. The results obtained are consistent with IR and UV-Vis spectroscopic data.     

Synthesis of substituted 3,4-dihydropyrimidin-2(1<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>)-ones and pyrimidin-2(1<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>)-ones by the Biginelli reaction with 3,5-Di-<Emphasis Type="Italic">tert</Emphasis>-butyl-4-hydroxybenzaldehyde

Three-component acid-catalyzed cyclocondensation of 3,5-di-tret-butyl-4-hydroxybenzaldehyde with urea and ethyl acetoacetate or α-nitroacetophenone (Biginelli reaction) under homogeneous conditions gave the corresponding 5-substituted 3,4-dihydropyrimidin-2(1H)-ones having in position 4 of the heteroring an aryl substituent with sterically shielded hydroxy group. The condensation catalyzed by inorganic salts (Fe³⁺, Co²⁺, Zn²⁺, Li⁺) was successful only with ethyl acetoacetate as initial methylene-active component. Under analogous conditions, acetophenone and 4-fluoroacetophenone gave rise to 4,6-diarylpyrimidin-2(1H)-ones which are capable of undergoing phenol-quinonemethide tautomerism.

Reaction of 5-arylfuran-2(3<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>)-ones with amines

5-(4-Chlorophenyl)- and 5-phenylfuran-2(3H)-ones reacted with guanidine carbonate at the methylene group in the unsaturated lactone molecule, leading to the formation of 4-(2-aryl-5-oxo-2,5-dihydrofuran-2-yl)-5-aryltetrahydrofuran-2-ones, while 5-(4-methylphenyl)furan-2(3H)-one under analogous conditions gave rise to N,N′-bis[4-(4-methylphenyl)-4-oxobutanoyl]guanidine. The reactions of 5-arylfuran-2(3H)- ones with thioacetamide afforded 4-aryl-N-{1-[5-aryl-2-oxo-2,3-dihydrofuran-3-ylidene]ethyl}-4-oxobutanamides. The corresponding N-(4-aryl-4-oxobutanoyl)thioureas were obtained by heating 5-arylfuran-2(3H)-ones with thiourea.     

Substituted Butanolides and Butenolides: XVII. Substituted 3-(Furan-2-ylmethylidene)furan-2(3<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>)-ones and 3-(Furan-2-ylmethylidene)dihydrofuran-2(3<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>)-ones

A number of furan-2-ylmethylidene-substituted lactones were synthesized by condensation of 5-alkylfuran-2(3H)-ones and 4-alkyldihydrofuran-2(3H)-ones with 5-substituted furan-2-carbaldehydes. The reactivity of furan-2(3H)-ones was higher than that of furan-2(5H)-ones due to formation of intermediate conjugated anion. The condensation of 4-alkyldihydrofuran-2(3H)-ones with furan-2-carbaldehydes required more severe conditions than the condensation with furan-2(3H)-ones. The substituent in the furan ring affects the reaction time and yield.

2-[2-(4-Chlorophenyl)-2-oxoethylidene]-5-phenylfuran-3(2H)-one and methyl (5-aryl-3-oxo-2,3-dihydrofuran-2-ylidene)acetates react with carboxylic acid hydrazides to give the corresponding 3-substituted 2-acyl-6-aryl-3-hydroxy-2,3-dihydropyridazin-4(1H)-ones. Specificities of the product structure are discussed.

Methods of synthesis were developed for 7-(furan-2-yl)-substituted 7,8,10,10a-tetrahydrobenzo[c] chromen-6,9-diones by regioselective [4+2]-cycloaddition of coumarin-3-carboxylic acids to 2-(3-trimethylsiloxybuta- 1,3-dien-1-yl)furans. The [4+2]-cycloaddition was efficiently catalyzed with L-proline.

A series of 2-aryl-5-arylmethylidene-1,3-oxazol-5(4H)-ones and 2-aryl-5-arylmethylidene-N-methyl-3,5-dihydro-4H-imidazol-4-ones was synthesized as structural analogs of combret- astatin A-4 (a compound possessing antitumor activity). (5Z)-5-[(4-Methoxyphenyl)methyl-idene]-3-methyl-2-(4-methylphenyl)-3,5-dihydro-4H-imidazol-4-one was found to exhibit the highest cytotoxicity against cells of human A549 lung carcinoma line (EC₅₀ = 6±0.8 μmol L^?1).

Treatment of 5-amino-1,3-dialkyl-2,3-dihydro-1H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-2-ones with sodium nitrite in aqueous HCl gave 1,3-dialkyl-1H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridine-2,5(3H,4H)-diones which were nitrated with potassium nitrate in sulfuric acid to 6-nitro derivatives, and the latter underwent recyclization into 4-amino-1,3-dialkyl-5-(1H-pyrazol-5-yl)-2,3-dihydro-1H-imidazol-2-ones by the action of hydrazine hydrate.     

Features of Reaction of 2-(5-Methyl-2-phenyl-2<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>-1,2,3-diazaphosphol-4-yl)-4<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>-benzo[<Emphasis Type="Italic">e</Emphasis>]-1,3,2-dioxaphosphorin-4-one with 1,2-Dicarbonyl Compounds

2-(5-Methyl-2-phenyl-2H-1,2,3-diazaphosphol-4-yl)-4H-benzo[e]-1,3,2-dioxaphosphorin-4-one reacts with perfluorodiacetyl, 3,6-di(tert-butyl)-1,2-benzoquinone and phenanthrenequinone only with the participation of a three-coordinated phosphorus atom to form spirophosphoranes containing acyclic 5-methyl-2- phenyl-2H-1,2,3-diazaphosphol-4-yl substituent, whereas the interaction with tetrachloro-1,2-benzoquinone proceeds via expanding the six-membered heterocycle to the nine-membered one to form 2-(2-phenyl-2H-1,2,3-diazaphosphol-4-yl)-2,9-dioxo-4,5,6,7-tetrachlorodibenzo[d,h]-1,3,8-trioxaphosphonine.
