Synthesis of polycyclic pyridazinediones as chemiluminescent compounds

Reactions of 1,3-disubstituted 5-aminopyrazole-4-carbonitrile derivatives 3a-o with dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate in the presence of potassium carbonate in dimethyl sulfoxide gave the corresponding dimethyl 1,3-disubstituted pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridine-5,6-dicarboxylates 4a-o which were allowed to react with excess hydrazine hydrate under ethanol refluxing conditions followed by heating at 250-300° to give 1,3-disubstituted 4-amino-1H-pyrazolo[4′,3′:5,6]pyrido[2,3-d]pyridazine-5,8(6H,7H)-diones 7a-s in good yields. Similarly, 1,3-disubstituted 4-hydroxy-1H-pyrazolo[4′3′:5,6]pyrido[2,3-d]pyridazine-5,8(6H,7H)-diones 10a-c were obtained from alkyl 1,3-disubstituted 5-aminopyrazole-4-carboxylates 8a-c . These tricyclic pyridazine derivatives were alternatively synthesized from 4-hydroxypyrrolo[3,4-e]pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridine-5,7-diones 13a-c prepared by reactions of 5-aminopyrazoles (8e-g) with methyl 1-methyl-4-methylthio-2,5-dioxo-1H-pyrrole-3-carboxylate (11a) followed by the Gould/Jacobs reaction. 1-Methyl-4-methylthio-2,5-dioxo-1H-pyrrole-3-carbonitrile smoothly reacted with 2-aminobenzimidazoles to give the corresponding 5-amino-3-methyl-1H-pyrrolo[3′4′:4,5]pyrimido[1,2-a]benzimidazole-1,3(2H)-diones 16a-e , which were readily converted to the desired 12-aminopyridazino[4′,5′:4,5]pyrimido-[1,2-a]benzimidazole-1,4(2H,3H)-diones 17a-e in good yields. Other pyridazinopyrimidine derivatives were also obtained by the reaction of the corresponding 2-aminoheterocycles with the maleimide in good yields. Substituted anilines reacted 11b in refluxing methanol to give the corresponding methyl 4-phenylamino-1-methyl-2,5-dioxo-1H-pyrrole-3-carboxylates 25a-e which were converted in good yields to 2-methylpyrrolo[3,4-b]quinoline derivatives 26a-e by heating in diphenyl ether. Reaction of 26a-c with hydrazine hydrate gave 10-hydroxypyridazino[4,5-b]quinoline-1,4(2H,3H)-diones 27a-e in good yields. The desired 10-aminopyridazino[4,5-b]pyridazine-1,4(2H,3H)-diones 30a-e were obtained in good yields by the chlorination of 4a-e with phosphorus oxychloride followed by aminolysis with 28% ammonium hydroxide. Some pyridazino[4,5-a][2.2.3]cyclazine-1,4(2H,3H)-diones 37a,b as luminescent compounds were synthesized via several steps from indolizine derivatives. The key intermediates, dimethyl 6-dimethylamino[2.2.3]cyclazine-1,2-dicarboxylates 34, 36 , were synthesized by the [8 + 2] cycloaddition reaction of the corresponding 7-dimethylaminoindolizines 33, 35 with dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate in the presence of Pd-C in refluxing toluene. Some were found to be more efficient than luminol in light production. 4-Amino-3-methylsufonyl-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazolo[4′,3′:5,6]pyrido[2,3-d]pyridazine-5,8(6H,7H)-dione (7r) , 10-hydroxypyridazino[4,5-b]-quinoline-1,4(2H,3H)-diones 27a-e , and 10-aminopyridazino[4,5-b]quinoline-1,4(2H,3H)-diones 30a-e showed the greatest chemiluminescence intensity in the presence of hydrogen peroxide peroxidase in a solution of phosphate buffer at pH 8.0.     

The syntheses of pyridazino[1,2-a] pyridazine derivatives of furan,pyridazine and pyrrole by diels-alder reactions

Diels-Alder adducts were formed in the lead tetraacetate oxidations of substituted cyclic hydrazides of furan, pyridazine and pyrrole dicarboxylic acids in the presence of 1,3-cyclo-hexadiene or 1,3-cyclopentadiene. The products resulting were furo[3,4-g]pyridazino[1,2-a]-pyridazine-6,10-diones, pyridazino[4,5-g]pyridazino[1,2-a]pyridazine-6,11-diones, and pyrrolo-[3,4-g]pyridazino[1,2-a]pyridazine-6,10-diones, respectively. Some hydrogenations and ring opening reactions were studied.

Lead tetraacetate oxidations of 2,3,3a,4,6,7,7a,8-octahydrobenzo[1,2-c:4,5-c']dipyrazolo-3,7-dione and 2,3,3a,4,5,5a,6,7-octahydrobenzo[2,1-c:3,4-c']dipyrazolo-3,6-dione in the presence of 1,3-cyclopentadiene, 1,3-cyclohexadiene, 2,3-dimethyl-1,3-butadiene or 1,4-diphenyl-1,3-butadiene have yielded octahydrodipyridazino[1,2-a:1,2-a']benzo[1,2-c:4,5-c']dipyrazolo-6,14-diones and octahydrodipyridazino[1,2-a:1,2-a']benzo[2,1-c:3,4-c']dipyrazolo-6,9-diones. In one of the eight Diels-Alder reactions two isomeric products were isolated.     

Pyrrolopyrimidines. 5. Reaction of 6-Amino-1,3-dimethylpyrrolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine-2,4(1H,3H)-diones with 1,3-Diketones

The reaction of 6-amino-1,3-dimethylpyrrolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine-2,4-dione with 1,3-diketones leads to formation of predominantly pyrimido[4',5':3,4]pyrrolo[1,2-b]pyridazine-2,4(1H,3H)-diones and, to a lesser extent, pyrimido[5',4':3,4]pyrrolo[1,2-b]pyridazine-1,3(2H,4H)-diones. The ease and direction of the cyclization reaction suggests a very -electron rich pyrrole ring in the initial state, especially in the position 7.

Libraries of skeletally diverse potential bioactive polycyclic/spirocyclic heterocyclic compounds; 2-amino-7,9-dimethyl-5-oxo-4-aryl-4,5,6,7-tetrahydropyrano[2,3-d]pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridine-3-carbonitrile, 2′-amino-7′,9′-dimethyl-2,5′-dioxo-6′,7′-dihydro-5′H-spiro[indoline-3,4′-pyrano[2,3-d]pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridine]-3′-carbonitrile, and 5,5′-(arylmethylene)bis(4-hydroxy-1,3-dimethyl-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridin-6(7H)-one) have been synthesized through a multi-component reaction using novel heterocyclic active methylene compound 4-hydroxy-1,3-dimethyl-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridine-6(7H)-one as one of the building blocks. This protocol can be considered to be an efficient and eco-friendly strategy for diversity oriented synthesis.

Tricyclic cyclopenta[b]pyrrolo[3,4-c]pyridine-3,5-dione and pyrrolo[3,4-d]quinoline-3,5-diones with stable hemiaminal function or bicyclic azaspiro[4.4]nonanes and azaspiro[4.5]decanes were obtained in a domino reaction of cycloalkenecarbothioamides with maleimides. The proposed mechanism involves Michael addition, ring transformation, aqueous hydrolysis of the imine, and additional ring closure which is observed exclusively for one diastereoisomer.     

Synthesis of 1H-thieno[3,4-c]pyrazoles,thieno[3,4-b]furans,selenolo[3,4-b]furans and pyrrolo[3,4-d]thiazoles

Starting from the readily available aryl 2-methyl-5-phenyl-3-furyl ketones, 5-methyl-1H-1-phenylpyrazole-4-yl ketones and 4-methyl-2-phenyl-5-thiazolylcarboxaldehyde, a series of 2-phenyl-4-arylthieno[3,4-b]-furan, 2-phenyl-4-(p-methoxyphenyl)selenolo[3,4-b]furan, 4-aryl-1H-1-phenylthieno[3,4-c]pyrazole and 5-benzyl-2-phenylpyrrolo[3,4-d]thiazole were prepared in high yield.     

Structural Identification between Phthalazine-1,4-Diones and N-Aminophthalimides via Vilsmeier Reaction: Nitrogen Cyclization and Tautomerization Study

N-Aminophthalimides and phthalazine 1,4-diones were synthesized from isobenzofuran-1,3-dione, isoindoline-1,3-dione, furo [3,4-b] pyrazine-5,7-dione, or 1H-pyrrolo [3,4-c] pyridine-1,3-dione with monohydrate hydrazine to carry out the 5-exo or 6-endo nitrogen cyclization under the different reaction conditions. Based on the control experimental results, 6-endo thermodynamic hydrohydrazination and kinetical 5-exo cyclization reactions were individually selective formation. Subsequently, Vilsmeier amidination derivatization was successfully developed to probe the structural divergence between N-aminophthalimide 2 and phthalazine 1,4-dione 3. On the other hand, the best tautomerization of N-aminophthalimide to diazinone was also determined under acetic acid mediated solution.     

Synthesis of 5-oxo-5H-chromeno[3,4-c]pyridine-1-carbonitriles and features of their NMR spectra

Two different methods leading to 5-oxo-5H-chromeno[3,4-c]pyridine-1-carbonitriles were investigated. Reactions of 3-aminocrotonirile with substituted salicylaldehydes provided 5-oxo-5H-chromeno[3,4-c]pyridine-1-carbonitriles with the same substituent on positions 2 and 4 of the system. The reaction of 3-aminocrotonirile with variety of substituted 3-acetylcoumarins lead to 5-oxo-5H-chromeno[3,4-c]pyridine-1-carbonitriles with different substituents on positions 2 and 4. The structures of the products were confirmed by spectroscopic methods. The presence of nitrile moiety in the structures with fixed geometry caused the highly downfield shift of the aromatic proton at position 10 in ¹H NMR spectrum. The electronic factor of the substituents caused variation of this downfield shift.

The reaction of alkyl 5,6-dialkyl-2-amino-3-cyano-4-pyridinecarboxylates with certain O-nucleophiles was investigated, as a result of which 6,7-dialkyl-4-amino-2,3-dihydro-1H-pyrrolo[3,4-c]pyridine-1,3-diones were synthesized.     

Chemical behavior of 4,9-dimethoxy-5-oxo-5H-furo[3,2-g]chromene-6-carboxaldehyde towards carbon nucleophilic reagents

The chemical behavior of 6-formylkhellin ( 1 ) was investigated toward a variety of carbon nucleophiles. Treatment of aldehyde 1 with cyanoacetamide, N-benzylcyanoacetamide produced pyridine-3-carboxamides 3 and 4 . Treatment of carboxaldehyde 1 with malononitrile dimer and 1H-benzimidazol-2-ylacetonitrile gave 1,6-naphthyridine 5 and pyrido[1,2-a]benzimidazole 6 , respectively. Some novel pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridine 7 , pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidines 8 and 9 were synthesized from the ring opening ring closure reactions of carboxaldehyde 1 with certain heterocyclic enamines. In addition, reaction of carboxaldehyde 1 with certain cyclic enols produced a variety of products. Treatment of carboxaldehyde 1 with 1,3-cyclohexanediones gave xanthene-1,8-diones 19 and 20 . Reaction of carboxaldehyde 1 with 5-methyl-2,4-dihydro-3H-pyrazol-3-one proceeds in 1:2 M ratio producing pyrazolo [4′,3′:5,6]pyrano[2,3-c]pyrazole derivative 22 . Carboxaldehyde 1 reacted with certain heterocyclic compounds containing active methylene groups to give the corresponding condensation products 22 - 27 . The synthesized compounds were screened in vitro for their antimicrobial activity and showed high to moderate activities against the tested microorganisms.

Abstract

The poly-Diels-Alder addition between the new bisdiene 1,4-bis(5-methoxy-2-oxazolyl)benzene (4) and N,N′-hexamethylene-bis[2-(2,5-dihydro-2,5-dioxo-pyrrole-1-yl) acetamide] (7) is described. The structure of the resulting polyadduct 12 was proved by ¹H NMR spectroscopy with the aid of the low-molecular-weight model compounds 1,4-bis(1,3-dihydro-7-hydroxy-1,3-dioxo-2-phenyl-pyrrolo[3,4-c] pyridine-4-yl)benzene (9) and N,N'-hexamethylene-bis[2-(1, 3-dihydro-7-hydroxy-6-methyl-1,3-dioxo-4-phenyl-pyrrolo [3,4-c]pyridine-2-yl)acetamide] (11). The reaction proceeds via the aromatization of the primarily formed cycloadducts. Polyadduct 12 shows a number average degree of polymerization P_n of about 11 – 12 (M_n = 8500 ? 9200 g/mol), calculated from ¹H NMR endgroup signals.     

Intramolecular 6-endo-dig-Cyclization of Ethyl 5-Aminomethyl-4-(1,2,3-thiadiazol-4-yl)furan-2-carboxylate

The reaction of 5-aminomethyl-4-(1,2,3-thiadiazol-4-yl)furan-2-carboxylic acid ethyl ester with bases has given ethyl 5-sulfanylidene-4,5,6,7-tetrahydrofuro[2,3-c]pyridine-2-carboxylate as a result of intramolecular 6-endo-dig-cyclization of thioketene generated in situ with an internal CH₂NH₂ nucleophile. The obtained ester has been alkylated with iodomethane at the sulfur atom to form ethyl 5-methylsulfanyl-4,7-dihydrofuro[2,3-c] pyridine-2-carboxylate. The Hantzsch reaction with ω-bromoacetophenone has resulted in the formation of 7-ethoxycarbonyl-3-phenylfuro[3,2-d[1,3]thiazolo[3,2-a]pyridin-4-ium bromide.

     

Furopyridines. V. A simple synthesis of furo[2,3-c]pyridine and its 2-and 3-methyl derivatives

A simple synthesis of furo[2,3-c]pyridine and its 2- and 3-methyl derivatives from ethyl 3-hydroxyisonicotinate ( 2 ) is described. The hydroxy ester 2 was O-alkylated with ethyl bromoacetate or ethyl 2-bromopropionate to give the diester 3a or 3b . Cyclization of compound 3a afforded ethyl 3-hydroxyfuro [2,3-c]pyridine-2-carboxylate ( 4 ) which was hydrolyzed and decarboxylated to give furo[2,3-c]pyridin-3(2H)-one ( 5a ). Cyclization of 3b gave the 2-methyl derivative 5b . Reduction of 5a and 5b with sodium borohydride yielded the corresponding hydroxy derivative 6a and 6b , respectively, which were dehydrated with phosphoric acid to give furo[2,3-c]pyridine ( 7a ) and its 2-methyl derivative 7b . 4-Acetylpyridin-3-ol ( 8 ) was O-alkylated with ethyl bromoacetate to give ethyl 2-(4-acetyl-3-pyridyloxy) acetate ( 9 ). Saponification of compound 9 , and the subsequent intramolecular Perkin reaction gave 3-methylfuro[2,3-c]pyridine ( 10 ). Cyclization of 9 with sodium ethoxide gave 3-methylfuro[2,3-c]pyridine-2-carboxylic acid, which in turn was decarboxylated to give compound 10 .     

A convenient synthesis of 1,2,4-triazolo[4,3,2-o,p]-[1,3]diazocino[4,5-b]quinoxalines via a 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction and a ring transformation

The reaction of 6-chloro-2-hydrazinoquinoxaline 4-oxide 5 with triethyl orthoformate gave 7-chloro-1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-a]quinoxaline 5-oxide 6. The reaction of compound 6 with phenyl isocyanate afforded 7-chloro-4-phenylamino-1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-a]quinoxaline 7 , while the reaction of compound 6 with phenyl isothiocyanate resulted in deoxygenation to provide 7-chloro-1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-a]quinoxaline 8. However, the reaction of compound 6 with allyl isothiocyanate effected the 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction, but not deoxygenation, to furnish 9-chloro-4,5-dihydroisoxazolo[2,3-a][1,2,4]triazolo[3,4-c]quinoxalin-5-ylmethylisothiocyanate 9. Moreover, the reduction of compound 9 with iron/acetic acid resulted in ring transformation to give 11 -chloro-7-hydroxy-4-thioxo-4,5,6,7,8,9-hexahydro-1,2,4-triazolo[4,3,2- o,p][1,3]diazocino[4,5-b]quinoxaline 10 , whose acetylation afforded 5-acetyl-11-chloro-7-hydroxy-4-thioxo-4,5,6,7,8,9-hexahydro-1,2,4-triazolo[4,3,2-o,p][1,3]diazocino[4,5-b]quinoxaline 11.

The interaction of 4-allyl-5-phenyl-1,2,4-triazole-3-thione with iodine proceeds with the formation of a mixture of 6-iodomethyl-3-phenyl-5,6-dihydrothiazolo[2,3-c]-1,2,4-triazole and 6-iodo-3-phenyl-6,7-dihydro-5H-1,2,4-triazolo[3,4-b]-1,3-thiazine. The structures of the cyclization products obtained were established on the basis of the ¹H NMR spectra of their dehydroiodinated derivatives. 6-Methyl-3-phenylthiazolo[2,3-c]-1,2,4-triazole, 3-phenyl-5H-1,2,4-triazolo[3,4-b]-1,3-thiazine, and 3-phenyl-7H-1,2,4-triazolo[3,4-b]-1,3-thiazine are formed on eliminating HI from the cyclization products.
