Synthesis of Some New Benzo[b][1,4]diazepine Based Heterocycles

Preparation of 4‐chloro‐3H‐benzo[b][1,4]diazepine‐2‐carbaldehyde 5 , which is used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of chalcones derivatives, via its condensation with some aromatic acetophenone derivatives under ethanol piperidine condition was described. Also illustrated was the reaction of such chalcones with available nucleophilics and reagents of active methylene group to afford new series of fused and isolated pyrazoles, isoxazolines pyrimidines, pyridines, triazolo[1,5‐a]pyrimidines, benzo[1,4]oxa(thia)zepines, and pyrido[1,2‐a]benzimidazoles incorporating 4‐chloro‐3H‐benzo[b][1,4]diazepine moiety, which have a potential pharmaceutical interest. Furthermore, condensation reaction of 4‐chloro‐3H‐benzo[b][1,4]diazepine‐2‐carbaldehyde with aromatic amine derivatives to afford the Schiff's bases was described. The C═N double bond of the latter compounds has been reacted with chloroketene to give β‐lactams and with sulfanylacetic acid to give the 2‐(4‐oxo‐1,3‐thiazolidinyl)‐substituted derivative. The structures of the newly prepared compounds were established by elemental analysis, IR, MS, and ¹H NMR spectral analysis.     

Synthesis and Properties of Bis(naphthofuran)-Fused [7]Helicene Derivatives

Novel benzo[1,2-b:4,3-b′]dinaphthofuran (oxa[7]helicene) with various substituents in the central ring were designed and successfully synthesized based on the late stage central ring formation strategy from naphthofuranoneby using an efficient McMurry coupling or Friedel-Crafts acylation. The photochemical properties of helicenes were evaluated by UV-Visible absorption spectroscopy and fluorescence spectroscopy, while electrochemical behaviour including their energy profile were investigated by cyclic voltammetry and DFT calculations. According to the computational study, substituents on the central ring could influence both electron delocalization and MO distribution of oxa[7]helicenes resulting in the change in charge transporting ability. In comparison to the parent carbo[7]helicene, the furan unit in conjunction with substituents on helical system caused the bathochromic shift with different absorption pattern and exhibited higher fluorescence quantum yield (ϕ_f up to 0.63). These new materials showed promising characteristics in optoelectronic application.     

Synthesis,Characterization, and Preliminary In Vitro Cytotoxic Evaluation of a Series of 2-Substituted Benzo [d] [1,3] Azoles

A series of benzo [d] [1,3] azoles 2-substituted with benzyl- and allyl-sulfanyl groups were synthesized, and their cytotoxic activities were in vitro evaluated against a panel of six human cancer cell lines. The results showed that compounds BTA-1 and BMZ-2 have the best inhibitory effects, compound BMZ-2 being comparable in some cases with the reference drug tamoxifen and exhibiting a low cytotoxic effect against healthy cells. In silico molecular coupling studies at the tamoxifen binding site of ERα and GPER receptors revealed affinity and the possible mode of interaction of both compounds BTA-1 and BMZ-2.

Synthesis and Reactions of New Fused Heterocycles Derived from 5-Substituted-4-Amino-3-Mercapto-(4H)-1,2,4-Triazole with Biological Interest

The reaction of thiocarbohydrazide with carboxylic acids at the melting temperature allows an improved preparation of 5-substituted-4-amino-3-mercapto 1,2,4-triazoles 1 _{a ? g} . Compound 1 _a reacted with 2-bromopropionic acid to give acid derivative 2 . The latter was reacted with a mixture of acetic anhydride and triethylamine to afford the mesoionic compound 3 . Heating of compound 3 in ethanol gave the ester derivative 4 , which on alkaline hydrolysis in methanol gave ketone derivative 5 . Substituted 1,2,4-triazolo [3,4-b]-6H-1,3,4-thiadiazine 6 _h,i and 7 were synthesized by reaction of 1 _a with acetylacetone, ethyl acetoacetate and chloroacetamide. Heterocyclic systems 8 and 9 were prepared through the reaction of 1 _a with 2,3-dichloro-1,4-naphthoquinone and 2,3-dichloroquinoxaline. In addition, thenoyl isothiocyanate, thenoyl chloride, 2-thiophenecarbaldehyde, and p-chlorophenyl isocyanate reacted with compound 1 _a to afford 1,2,4-triazolo[3,4-b]-1,3,4-thiadiazole ring system 10 , 11 , and urea derivative 12 . 1,2,4-Triazolo[3,4-b]-5H-pyrazole derivatives 14 _j,k were prepared through the reaction of compound 1 _a with 3-chloro-2,4-pentandione and ethyl-2-chloroacetoacetate. Compound 14 _j was treated with hydrazine to afford products 15 , 16 , and 17 depending on the type of hydrazine derivative and reaction conditions. Compound 19 was synthesized by refluxing of compound 14 _j with hydroxylamine hydrochloride to afford the corresponding oxime derivative 18 followed by treatment with thenoyl chloride.
