1,3-Dimethyl-1,2-dihydro-2-imino-4(3H)pyrimidinone (1,3-dimethylisocytosine) was prepared by methylation of 2-amino-3-methyl-4(3H)pyrimidinone and was degraded in alkaline solution to a mixture of 3-methyl-2-methylamino-4(3H)pyrimidinone, 1,3-dimethyl-2,4-(1H,3H)pyrimid-indione, 2-methylamino-l-methyl-4(1H)pyrimidinone, 1-methyl-2,4-(1H,3H)pyrimidindione and 3-methyl-2,4-(1H,3H)pyrimidindione. Thiation of the title compound gave both 1,2-dihydro-1,3-dimethyl-2-thio-4(3H)pyrimidinone and 1,3-dimethyl-2,4-(1H,3H)pyrimidinedithione. The title compound is a tautomerically fixed pyrimidine and its uv spectra were compared with related compounds, notably 3-methyl-2-dimethylarnino-4(3H)pyrimidinone which is also tautomerically fixed.

Alkyl 3-(2-aminoethyl)-1H-indole-2-acetates 6a and 6b are synthesized starting from methyl 1H-indole-2-acetate (2) via methyl 3-(2-nitroethenyl)-1H-indole-2-acetate (4) and the alkyl 3-(2-nitroethyl)-1H-indole-2-acetates 5a and (Scheme 1). Analogously, diisopropyl 3-(2-aminoethyl)-1H-indole-2-malonate 20b is obtained from diisopropyl 1H-indole-2-malonate 11c (Scheme 4). An alternative synthesis of 20a and 20b follows a route via 15–18 and the dialkyl 3-(2-azidoethyl)-1H-indole-2-malonates 19a and 19b , respectively (Scheme 3).

A tautomer 12 of 11a is isolated.     

Synthesis of 2′-deoxyribofuranosyl indole nucleosides related to the antibiotics SF-2140 and neosidomycin

The 2′-deoxyribofuranose analog of the naturally occurring antibiotics SF-2140 and neosidomycin were prepared by the direct glycosylation of the sodium salts of the appropriate indole derivatives, with 1-chloro-2- deoxy-3,5-di-O-p-toluoyl-α-D-erythropentofuranose ( 5 ). Thus, treatment of the sodium salt of 4-methoxy-1H- indol-3-ylacetonitrile ( 4a ) with 5 provided the blocked nucleoside, 4-methoxy-1-(2-deoxy-3,5-di-O-p-toluoyl-β- D-erythropentofuranosyl)-1H-indol-3-ylacetonitrile ( 6a ), which was treated with sodium methoxide to yield the SF-2140 analog, 4-methoxy-1-(2-deoxy-β-D-erythropentofuranosyl)-1H-indol-3- ylacetonitrile ( 7a ). The neosidomycin analog ( 8 ) was prepared by treatment of the sodium salt of 1H-indol-3-ylacetonitrile ( 4b ) with 5 to obtain the blocked intermediate 1-(2-deoxy-3,5-di-O-p-toluoyl-β-D-erythropentofuranosyl) ?1H-indol-3-ylace-tonitrile ( 6b ) followed by sodium methoxide treatment to give 1-(2-deoxy-β-D-erythropentofuranosyl)-1H- indol-3-ylacetonitrile ( 7b ) and finally conversion of the nitrile function of 7b to provide 1-(2-deoxy-β-D- erythropentofuranosyl)-1H-indol-3-ylacetamide ( 8 ). In a similar manner, indole ( 9a ) and several other substituted indoles including 1H-indole-4-carbonitrile ( 9b ), 4-nitro-1H-indole ( 9c ), 4-chloro-1H-indole-2-carboxamide ( 9d ) and 4-chloro-1H-indole-2-carbonitrile ( 9e ) were each glycosylated and deprotected to provide 1-(2-deoxy-β-D-erythropentofuranosyl)-1H-indole ( 11a ), 1-(2-deoxy-β-D-erythropentofuranosyl)-1H-indole-4- carbonitrile ( 11b ), 4-nitro-1-(2-deoxy-β-D-erythropentofuranosyl)-1H-indole ( 11c ), 4-chloro-1-(2-deoxy-β-D- erythropentofuranosyl)-1H-indole-2-carboxamide ( 11d ) and 4-chloro-1-(2-deoxy-β-D-erythropentofuranosyl)- 1H-indole-2-carbonitrile ( 11e ), respectively. The 2′-deoxyadenosine analog in the indole ring system was prepared for the first time by reduction of the nitro group of 11c using palladium on carbon thus providing 4-amino-1-(2-deoxy-β-D-erythropentofuranosyl)- 1H-indole ( 16 , 1,3,7-trideaza-2′-deoxyadenosine).

On the other hand, 1-methyl-2,2-dioxido-1H-2,1-benzothiazin-4-yl 3-phenyl-2-propenoate ( 19 ) (from cinnamoyl chloride ( 17 ) and compound 4 ) rearranged to give 2,3-dihydro-6-methyl-2-phenyl-4H,6H-pyrano[3,2-c][2,1]benzothiazin-4-one 5,5-dioxide ( 21 ), an example of a hitherto unknown ring system. Additional examples of this novel heterocycle were prepared from 1-methyl-7-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-pyrido[2,3-c][1,2]thiazin-4(3H)-one 2,2-dioxide ( 23 ) and 1-methyl-1H-thieno[3,2-c][1,2]thiazin-4(3H)-one 2,2-dioxide ( 8 ).

The synthesis of 2-methyl-3-(1-methyl-1H-imidazol-2-yl)-4H-1-benzopyran-4-ones 4 is described starting from 2-acetoxybenzoyl chlorides and 1,2-dimethylimidazole. Chromones 4 undergo alkaline ring opening to the corresponding 1-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-2-(1-methyl-1H-imidazol-2-yl)ethenols 5 which give ring closure to 2-substituted 3-(1-methyl-1H-imidazol-2-yl)-4H-1-benzopyran-4-ones or 2,3-dihydro-3-(1-methyl-1H-imidazol-2-yl)-4H-1-benzopyran-4-ones.

The following 5-nitro-2,4(1H,3H)-pyrimidinediones possessing bromo substituted side chains at the 1- and 6-positions were prepared by bromination of 3,6-dimethyl-1-(ω-hydroxyalkyl)-5-nitro-2,4(1H,3H)-pyrimidinediones 4a and 4b and its nitrates 2a and 2b . The three of mono-bromo derivatives are: 1-(ω-acetoxyalkyl and ω-hydroxyalkyl)-6-bromomethyl-3-methyl. 6a, 6b, 7a and 7b and 1-(ω-bromoalkyl)-3,6-dimethyl-2,4(1H,3H)- pyrimidinediones 8a and 8b .

Intramolecular Carbenoid Reactions of Pyrrole Derivatives Efficient Syntheses of Pyrrolizinone and Dihydroindolizinone

The copper-catalyzed pyrolysis of 1-diazo-3-(pyrrol-1-yl)-2-propanone (1a) and 1-diazo-4-(pyrrol-1-yl)-2-butanone (1b) in benzene solution gave 1 H-pyrrolizin-2-(3H)-one (4a) and 5,6-dihydroindolizin-7 (8H)-one (4b) , respectively, in quantitative yield. Similar pyrolysis of 1-diazo-4-(3-methylindol-1-yl)-2-butanone (9) was less efficient giving 1-methylbenzo[b]-5,6-dihydroindroindolizin-7 (8H)-one (10) and 4-(3-methylindol-1-yl)-but-l-en-3-one (11) in 7% and 24% yield, respectively.     

Synthesis,antiradical, and antimicrobial activities of new pteridine-2,4,7-trione derivatives

The synthesis of 6-(2-hydroxy-2-aryl (heteryl)ethyl)-1-methylpteridine-2,4,7(1H,3H,8H)-triones by the reduction of the corresponding ketones and the peculiarities of conversion of the synthesized alcohols to (E)-1-methyl-6-(2-aryl (heteryl)ethenyl)pteridine-2,4,7(1H,3H,8H)-triones was reported. The mechanism of monomolecular elimination that occurred in the presence of hydrogen halides was discussed, namely, the competitive formation of an energy-efficient conjugated system by deprotonation of a stable benzyl-type carbocation. Alternative synthesis methods of pteridine-2,4,7(1H,3H,8H)-triones were developed. Abovementioned approach involved [4+2]-cyclocondensation of 1-methyl-5,6-diaminouracil to 2-oxo-4-R-but-3-enoic acids and Knoevenagel condensation of 1,6-dimethylpteridine-2,4,7(1H,3H,8H)-trione with aromatic aldehydes. The antiradical, antimicrobial, and antifungal activities were studied for the synthesized compounds.     

The annular tautomerism of imidazoles and pyrazoles: The possible existence of nonaromatic forms

DFT (B3LYP/6-31G^*) and G3//B3LYP (usually referred as G3B3 in the literature) calculations have been carried out on annular tautomers of C- and/or N-functionalized imidazoles (both the aromatic 1H- and nonaromatic 2H-) and pyrazoles (the aromatic 1H- and 2H-, and nonaromatic 3H- and 4H-). The aromaticity of 1H-imidazole and 1H- and 2H-pyrazole results in these species being more stable than their nonaromatic tautomers. However, this stability is reversed when the hydrogen on the azole nitrogen or methylene carbon is substituted by OH or by F, e.g., in increasing order of stability we find 1-fluoro-1H-imidazole <2-fluoro-2H-imidazole (<2-fluoro-1H-imidazole). These results are related to a recent report of a highly substituted imidazole that exists in the “nonaromatic” 2H-tautomeric form, and discussed subsequently in a purely thermochemical context.

Novel 1-benzyl-3-(4-fluorophenyl)-1H-pyrazole-4-carbaldehydes 3a to 3e were synthesized via Vilsmeier-Haack reaction of the appropriate 1-benzyl-2-(1-(4-fluorophenyl)ethylidene)hydrazines, derived from 4-fluoroacetophenone 1 with substituted 2-benzylhydrazines 2a to 2e . The base catalyzed condensation of 1-benzyl-3-(4-fluorophenyl)-1H-pyrazole-4-carbaldehydes 3a to 3e with 1-(4-fluoro-2-hydroxyphenyl)ethanone 4 gave (E)-3-(1-benzyl-3-(4-fluorophenyl)-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)-1-(4-fluoro-2-hydroxyphenyl)prop-2-en-1-ones 5a to 5e . On cyclization with dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO)/I₂, compounds 5a to 5e gave 2-(1-benzyl-3-(4-fluorophenyl)-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)-7-fluoro-4H-chromen-4-ones 6a to 6e . Structures of all novel compounds were confirmed by infrared (IR), proton nuclear magnetic resonance (¹H NMR), carbon nuclear magnetic resonance (¹³C NMR), and mass spectral data. All the synthesized compounds were screened for their antibacterial activities.

2,3-Dihydro-5H-oxazolo[2,3-b]quinazolin-5-one 5a was synthesized from anthranilamide 1 and 2-chloro-ethyl isocyanate either by a direct reflux in methanol, or by stirring at room temperature in acetonitrile leading to the intermediate, 2-(2-chloroethyl ureido)benzamide 6a which was subsequently cyclized on heating with an organic base. However, when compound 6a was refluxed with concentrated hydrochloric acid, it furnished 3-(2-chloroethyl)-2,4-dioxo-1H,3H-quinazoline 2a in good yields. 3,4-Dihydro-2H,6.H-[1,3]-oxazino[2,3-b]quinazolin-6-one 5b , 3-(3-chloropropyl)-2,4-dioxo-1H,3.H-quinazoline 2b and 2-(3-chloropropyl ureido)benzamide 6b were obtained similarly from 1 and 3-chloropropyl isocyanate.

The structure of 2b has been unambiguously confirmed by an X-ray crystal structure analysis. A rationale for the conversions observed is presented. These involve dehydrogenation and oxidative couplings of 1a-c as well as transfer of N-aryl fragment from 1a-c to intermediate products.

Treatment of 3a,b at refluxing temperature of DMF afforded 2H-1,2,4-benzothiadiazin-3(4H)-one 1,1-dioxide ( 4 ) in good yield. However, when compounds 7a,b were refluxed in 2-propanol, 3-(2′-aminoethoxy)-2H-1,2,4-benzothiadiazine 1,1-dioxide ( 11a ) and 3-(3′-aminopropoxy)-2H-1,2,4-benzothiadiazine 1,1-dioxide ( 11b ) were obtained in a form of the hydrochloride salts 10a,b in 87% and 78% yields respectively.

By the phase transfer catalyzed reaction of 9(10H)-acridinone with 1-bromo-2-propyne, 10-(2-propynyl)-9(10H)-acridinone is synthesized. As prototropic rearrangement products of this 10-(1,2-propadienyl)-9(10H)-acridinone and 10-(1-propynyl)-9(10H)-acridinone are obtained, Under the given conditins 1-bromo-2butyne leads to 10-(2-butynyl)-9(10H)-acridinone and 2-chloro-3-butyne leads to 10-(1-methyl-1,2-propddienyl)-9(10H)-acridinone, 10-(1-methyl-2-propynyl)-9(10H)-acridinone, 9-(1-methyl-2-propynyloxy)acridine and 10-[1-methyl-3-(3,4-dimethylphenyl-2-propynyl)]-9(10H)-acridinone. The formation of the products is experimentally confirmed and with published work compared.     

Direct introduction of heterocyclic residues into 1,2,4-triazin-5(2H)ones

3-Aryl-1,2,4-triazin-5(2H)-ones 1a-c react with indoles 2a-c in trifluoroacetic acid/chloroform or in boiling butanol or acetic acid to give 3-aryl-6-(indolyl-3)-1,6-dihydro-1,2,4-triazin-5(2H)-ones 3a-g . Oxidation of the dihydro-1,2,4-triazin-5(2H)-ones 3a-e afforded 6-(indolyl-3)-1,2,4-triazin-5(2H)-ones 4a-e , products of nucleophilic substitution of hydrogen in 1a-c . Refluxing 1b with N-methylpyrrote 5b in butanol for an extended time resulted in the formation of 3-(4-chlorophenyl)-6-(1-meuiylpyrrolyl-2)-1,2,4-triazin-5(2H)-one 4h. The reaction of 1a-c with indoles 2a-c , pyrroles 5a,b , 1,3-dimethyl-2-phenylpyrazol-4-one (8) and aminothiazoles 9a,b in acetic anhydride affords the 1-acetyl-3-aryl-6-hetaryl-1,6-dihydro-1,2,4-triazin-5(2H)-ones 6a-s . Reaction of 1a-c with N-methyl-pyrrole 5b in acetic anhydride gives beside the 1:1 addition products 6h-k also the 2:1 addition products 7a-c .     

Tetrazole compounds. 9. A new approach to tetrazolyl-substituted quinoline derivatives

The acid-catalyzed reaction of 1-aryl-5-(2-dimethylaminovinyl)-1H-tetrazoles 2 with arylamines suitably functionalized in the ortho-position resulted in Z-configurated transamination products which were cyclized to novel 3-tetrazolylquinolines by the action of sodium ethoxide. Thus, on reacting 2 with 2-aminoacetophenone or 2-aminobenzophenone, respectively, the 2-[2-(1-aryl-1H-tetrazol-5-yl)vinyl-amino]aryl ketones 3a-g were obtained, the cyclization of which gave 4-substituted 3-(1-aryl-1H-tetrazol-5-yl)quinolines 4 .
