Unexpected reduction of ethyl 3-phenylquinoxaline-2- carboxylate 1,4-di-N-oxide derivatives by amines

The unexpected tendency of amines and functionalized hydrazines to reduce ethyl 3-phenylquinoxaline-2-carboxylate 1,4-di-N-oxide (1) to afford a quinoxaline 1c and mono-oxide quinoxalines 1a and 1b is described. The experimental conditions were standardized to the use of two equivalents of amine in ethanol under reflux for two hours,with the aim of studying the distinct reductive profiles of the amines and the chemoselectivity of the process. With the exception of hydrazine hydrate, which reduced compound 1 to a 3-phenyl-2-quinoxalinecarbohydrazide derivative, the amines only acted as reducing agents.     

Synthesis of quinoxaline 1,4-di-N-oxide analogues and crystal structure of 2-carbomethoxy-3-hydroxyquinoxaline-di-N-oxide

A series of quinoxaline 1,4-di-N-oxide analogues were prepared from benzofurazan N-oxide derivatives and β-diketone ester compounds by the improved Beirut reaction. The structures of the target products were characterized by NMR, MS, IR and elemental analysis measurements, and that of 2-carbomethoxy-3-hydroxyquinoxaline- di-N-oxide was further confirmed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Its crystal structure belongs to the monoclinic system, space group C2/c with a = 14.4320 (12) ?, b = 10.7514 (9) ?, c = 13.2728 (11) ?, V = 1958.5 (3) ? 3, Z = 8. The X-ray crystallographic analysis reveals that quinoxaline 1,4-di-N-oxide displays acyloin-endiol tautomerism.     

Synthesis and cytotoxicity studies of quinoline-3-carbonitrile derivatives

<正>A series of quinoline-3-carbonitrile derivatives were designed and synthesized.Their cytotoxicity in vitro against four cancer cell lines(A549,HT-29,MDA-MB-231 and SMMC-7721) were evaluated by standard MTT assay.The pharmacological results showed that most of the prepared compounds displayed excellent selective cytotoxicity toward SMMC-7721 cell line.Among them, compounds 7c,7e,11b,11f and 11g were more active than Gefitinb against SMMC-7721 cell line.     

Synthesis and cytotoxicity of phenyl-vinyl derivatives of 4,6,6-trimethyl-2-oxo-1,2,5,6-tetrahydropyridine-3-carbonitrile

A series of phenylvinyl derivatives of 4,6,6-trimethyl-2-oxo-1,2,5,6-tetrahydropyridine-3-carbonitriles has been synthesized and their cytotoxic activity towards HT-1080 (human fibrosarcoma) and MG 22A (mouse hepatoma) tumor cells studied. It was found that the 2-nitro-, 2- and 3-chloro, 2-fluoro, and 2-bromophenyl derivatives showed high cytotoxic activity towards both cell lines. The toxicity towards NIH 3T3 normal mouse embryonic fibroblasts depends on the nature and position of the substituent in the phenyl ring. The greatest selectivity of cytotoxic effect was seen in the 2-bromophenyl derivative.     

Synthesis of 5-acetyl derivatives of alkyl 2-furoates and 3-(2-furyl)acrylates

Methyl 5-acetyl-2-furoate has been prepared via oxidation of 5-(1-hydroxyethyl)-2-furoate with the Jones reagent. In turn, the starting compound has been synthesized via sequential chloroethylation of ethyl 2-furoate, substitution of chlorine with acetoxy group, and methanolysis of the acetate in presence of sodium methylate. The vinylog 2-furoate has been obtained as the major product via acetylation of ethyl 3-(2-furyl)-acrylate with acetic anhydride in the presence of magnesium perchlorate.

     

Substitutions of fluorine atoms and phenoxy groups in the synthesis of quinoxaline 1,4-di-N-oxide derivatives

The unexpected substitution of fluorine atoms and phenoxy groups attached to quinoxaline or benzofuroxan rings is described. The synthesis of 2-benzyl- and 2-phenoxy-3-methylquinoxaline 1,4-di-N-oxide derivatives was based on the classical Beirut reaction. The tendency of fluorine atoms linked to quinoxaline or benzofuroxan rings to be replaced by a methoxy group when dissolved in an ammonia saturated solution of methanol was clearly demonstrated. In addition, 2-phenoxyquinoxaline 1,4-di-N-oxide derivatives became 2-aminoquinoxaline 1,4-di-N-oxide derivatives in the presence of gaseous ammonia.     

Synthesis of 2-aminopentafluoro-1,4-naphthoquinone derivatives

Potential biologically active derivatives of 2-aminopentafluoro-1,4-naphthoquinone modified at the amino group were synthesized in 32–96% yield by reactions of hexafluoro-1,4-naphthoquinone with nitrogen-centered nucleophiles.

Summary Reaction of furan with 3,4-di-O-acetyl-L-rhamnal (1) afforded a mixture of epimeric 3-C-(2-furyl) glycals3 and4 and 1-C-(2-furyl)-hex-2-enopyranoses5 and6. Glycals3 and4 were transformed to 2-deoxy-glycosides9–13 and 3-deamino-3-C-(2-furyl)daunorubicines15 and16. Hex-2-enopyranosyl5 wascis hydroxylated with osmium tetroxide/N-methylmorpholine N-oxide to C-glycoside14.On leave from Pharmaceutical Research Institute, Warsaw, Poland     

Synthesis of chiral 2-furyl and 3-nitro-7-oxabicyclo[2.2.1]heptane derivatives from sugars

Asymmetric Diels–Alder reactions between 2-methylfuran and chiral (E)-1,2-dideoxy-1-nitroalkenes derived from d-mannose and d-galactose were carried out at room temperature, under 13 kbar pressure. The processes were completely regioselective, and only the four adducts with penta-O-acetyl-1′-C-(4-methyl-3-nitro-7-oxabicyclo[2.2.1]hept-5-en-2-yl)pentitols structures were formed in each case. These adducts, as well as those arising from cycloadditions of the same nitroalkenes and furan, have been converted into chiral derivatives, such as 2-furyl substituted 1-nitrosugars, 2-glyco-4-methyl-3-nitro-7-oxabicyclo[2.2.1]heptanes, and 5,6-exo-epoxy-2-glyco-3-nitro-7-oxabicyclo[2.2.1]hept-5-enes.

Synthesis, reactions, and biological activity of 1,4-benzothiazine derivatives

Abstract  

6,7-Dimethoxy-2H-1,4-benzothiazin-3(4H)-one reacts with dimethylformamide dimethylacetal (DMF-DMA) to give the novel enaminone 2-(dimethylaminomethylene)-6,7-dimethoxy-2H-1,4-benzothiazin-3(4H)-one. The reaction of the latter with various active methylene compounds afforded pyrido[3,2-b][1,4]benzothiazines. Also, coupling of the enaminone with diazotized aniline derivatives gave 2-(arylhydrazono)-6,7-dimethoxy-2H-1,4-benzothiazin-3(4H)-ones. Spectral data indicated that the latter compounds exist predominantly in the hydrazone tautomeric form. In addition, coupling of the enaminone with diazotized heterocyclic amines afforded tetra- and pentaheterocyclic ring systems. The antitumor and antimicrobial activity of some of the synthesized compounds was screened.

Abstract  

A series of new tetrazolo[1,5-a]quinoline-4-carbonitrile derivatives were synthesized for the first time via tetrazolo[1,5-a]quinoline derivatives. Elemental analysis, IR, ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, and mass spectral data were used to elucidate the structures of all newly synthesized compounds. In vitro antimicrobial activities of synthesized compounds were investigated against Gram-positive Bacillus subtilis, Gram-negative Escherichia coli, and two fungi, Candida albicans and Aspergillus niger, in comparison with standard drugs. Some of the tested compounds showed significant antimicrobial activity.
