Synthesis of novel 1-phenyl-1H-indole-2-carboxylic acids. II. Preparation of 3-dialkylamino, 3-alkylthio, 3-alkylsulfinyl,and 3-alkylsulfonyl derivatives

The synthesis of novel indole-2-carboxylic acids with amino- and sulfur-containing substituents in the indole 3-position is described. An Ullmann reaction with bromobenzene converted 1H-indoles with 3-(acetylamino)- and 3-(diethylamino)-substituents into 1-phenyl-1H-indoles. Reaction of 3-unsubstituted indoles with thionyl chloride provided indole 3-sulfinyl chlorides, which reacted with alkyl and aryl Grignard reagents to form the corresponding sulfoxides. The indole sulfoxides thus obtained were reduced to sulfides or oxidized to sulfones.     

Aqueous Synthesis of N-Phenyl/alkyl-2-quinolinone-3-carboxylic Acids from Coumarin-3-carboxylic Acids

An efficient, ecofriendly aqueous synthesis of aromatic/aliphatic amines with coumarin-3-carboxylic acid in a one pot reaction in a sealed tube or InCl₃/ H₂O in open vessel to afford N-phenyl/alkyl-2-quinolinones is achieved. This method provides high yield of products in shorter time, making it a useful process for the synthesis of structurally diversified 2-quinolinones from corresponding coumarins.     

The Enantioselective Synthesis of β-Amino Acids,their α-hydroxy derivatives,and the N-terminal components of bestatin and microginin

L -Aspartic acid by tosylation, anhydride formation, and reduction with NaBH₄ was converted into (3S)-3-(tosylamino)butan-4-olide ( 8 ; Scheme 1). Tretment of 8 with ethanolic trimethylsilyl iodide gave the N-protected deoxy-iodo-β-homoserine ethyl ester 9 . The latter, on successive nucleophilic displacement with lithium dialkyl-cuprates ( → 10a–e ), alkaline hydrolysis ( → 11a–e ), and reductive removal of the tosyl group, produced the corresponding 4-substituted (3R)-3-aminobutanoic acids 12a–e (ee > 99%). Electrophilic hydroxylation of 8 ( → 19 ; Scheme 3), subsequent iodo-esterification ( → 21 ; Scheme 4), and nucleophilic alkylation and phenylation afforded, after saponification and deprotection, a series of 4-substituted (2S, 3R)-3-amino-2-hydroxybutanoic acids 24 including the N-terminal acids 24e ( = 3 ) and 24f ( = 4 ) of bestatin and microginin (de > 95%), respectively.

The latter was used in the synthesis of 3-alkylthio-1-phenyl-5,6,7,8-hexahydroisoquinoline-4-carboxamides and 3,3-dimethyl-1-oxo-6-phenyl-1,2,7,8,9,10-hexahydro-3H-[1,3]thiazino[6,5-c]isoquinoline.

Research on aminomethylene derivatives of azoles. 23. Synthesis and structure of formyl derivatives of 1-phenyl-5-hydroxy(mercapto)-imidazoles

1-Phenyl-4-formyl-5-hydroxy(mercapto)imidazoles were obtained by replacement of the chlorine atom in 1-phenyl-4-formyl-5-chloroimidazole by hydroxy and mercapto groups, and their physicochemical properties and structures were studied. It was shown by a comparison of the electronic and IR spectra (and the PMR spectra in the case of the sulfur-containing compound) with the spectral characteristics of compounds that model the various possible tautomeric forms that 1-phenyl-4-formyl-5-hydroxy (mercapto)imidazoles exist primarily in the mesoionic form; this is associated with their high acidities and the presence of a sufficiently basic ring nitrogen atom.See [1] for Communication 22.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 5, pp. 670–674, May, 1979.
