Strategy to Construct Stair‐Shaped Partially Reduced Naphtho[1,2‐b]pyrano[2,3‐d]oxepines and Dinaphtho[1,2‐b,d]oxepines

A concise and efficient base‐induced synthesis of stair‐shaped, 4‐methylthio‐2‐oxo‐5,6‐dihydro‐2H‐naphtho[1,2‐b]pyran[2,3‐d]oxepine‐3‐carbonitriles ( 3 ) has been delineated by the reaction of 3,4‐dihydronaphtho[1,2‐b]oxepin‐5(2H)‐one ( 1 ) and methyl 2‐cyano‐3,3‐dimethylthioacrylate in DMSO using powdered KOH as a base at room temperature. Amination of 3 has been achieved by reaction with secondary amine in ethanol at reflux temperature to yield 4‐sec‐amino‐2‐oxo‐5,6‐dihydro‐2H‐naphtho[1,2‐b]pyran[2,3‐d]oxepine‐3‐carbonitriles ( 4 ). Reaction of 3 with aryl methyl ketone ( 5 ) in DMSO at room temperature using powdered KOH as a base produced stair‐shaped 5‐aryl‐7,8‐dihydro‐1,4‐dioxa‐2,3‐dioxodinaphtho[1,2‐b,d]oxepine ( 6 ) in good yields. However, reaction of 6‐aryl‐2H‐pyran‐2‐one‐3‐carbonitrile ( 8 ) with 3,4‐dihydronaphtho[1,2‐b]oxepin‐5(2H)‐one ( 1 ) did not give similar product, but in lieu 4‐aryl‐5,6‐dihydronaphtho[1,2‐b]oxepino[4,5‐b]pyran‐2‐ylidene)acetonitrile ( 9 ) was isolated and characterized.     

Reaction of cyclic imidates with α,β‐unsaturated esters: Synthesis of new pyrrolo[2,1‐b]‐1,3‐oxazine and pyrido[2,1‐b]‐1,3‐oxazine derivatives

The cycloaddition reaction of cyclic imidates, 2‐benzyl‐5,6‐dihydro‐4H‐1,3‐oxazines 1a , 1b , 1c , 1d , 1e , 1f , with dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate 2 , trimethyl ethylenetricarboxylate 4 , or dimethyl 2‐(methoxymethylene)malonate 6 afforded new fused heterocyclic compounds, such as methyl (6‐oxo‐3,4‐dihydro‐2H‐pyrrolo[2,1‐b]‐1,3‐oxazin‐7‐ylidene)acetates 3a , 3b , 3c , 3d , 3e , 3f (71–79%), dimethyl 2‐(6‐oxo‐3,4,6,7‐tetrahydro‐2H‐pyrrolo[2,1‐b]‐1,3‐oxazin‐7‐yl)malonates 5b , 5c , 5d , 5e , 5f (43–71%), or methyl 6‐oxo‐3,4‐dihydro‐2H,6H‐pyrido[2,1‐b]‐1,3‐oxazine‐7‐carboxylates 7a , 7b , 7c , 7d , 7e , 7f (32–59%), respectively. In these reactions, 1a , 1b , 1c , 1d , 1e , 1f (cyclic imidates, iminoethers) functioned as their N,C‐tautomers (enaminoethers) 2 to α,β‐unsaturated esters 2 , 4, and 6 to give annulation products 3 , 5 , and 7 following to the elimination of methanol, respectively.

Syntheses of thiopyrone and pyrone derivatives by photocyclization reaction of 3‐aryl‐2‐( Benzothien‐3‐yl)propenoic acids

Naphtho[1,2‐b][1]benzothiophene‐6‐carboxylic acids, 6H‐benzo[b]naphtho[2,3‐d]thiopyran‐6‐ones and 6H‐benzo[b]naphtho[2,3‐d]pyran‐6‐ones were synthesized in one step by the photocyclization reaction of 3‐aryl‐2‐([1]benzothien‐3‐yl)propenoic acids. The photocyclization reaction did not occur when the 3‐aryl group contained the electron‐withdrawing nitro group. The assignment of the ¹H and ¹³C nmr spectra of 6H‐benzo[b]naphtho[2,3‐d]thiopyran‐6‐one and 6H‐benzo[b]naphtho[2,3‐d]pyran‐6‐one by two‐dimensional nmr methods is described. The difference between the chemical shift values of H12 for these two compounds is attributed to different molecular geometries.     

Diastereoselective Synthesis of (Z)‐6‐(2‐Oxo‐1,2‐dihydro‐3H‐indol‐3‐ylidene)‐3,3a,9,9a‐tetrahydroimidazo[4,5‐e]thiazolo[3,2‐b]‐1,2,4‐triazin‐2,7(1H,6H)‐diones

Two efficient and diastereoselective procedures for the synthesis of (Z)‐6‐(2‐oxo‐1,2‐dihydro‐3H‐indol‐3‐ylidene)‐3,3a,9,9a‐tetrahydroimidazo[4,5‐e]thiazolo[3,2‐b]‐1,2,4‐triazin‐2,7(1H,6H)‐diones by aldol‐crotonic condensation of 1,3‐dimethyl‐3a,9a‐diphenyl‐3,3a,9,9a‐tetrahydroimidazo[4,5‐e]thiazolo[3,2‐b]‐1,2,4‐triazin‐2,7(1H,6H)‐dione with isatins under acidic or basic catalysis are reported. Isomerization in (Z)‐7‐(1‐allyl‐2‐oxo‐1,2‐dihydro‐3H‐indol‐3‐ylidene)‐1,3‐dimethyl‐3a,9a‐diphenyl‐1,3a,4,9a‐tetrahydroimidazo[4,5‐e]thiazolo[2,3‐c]‐1,2,4‐triazin‐2,8(3H,7H)‐dione was observed under basic conditions.     

Investigation on the condensation of α and β ketoaldehydes with hydroxyaromatic compounds

Mechanism of the condensation reactions of methylglyoxal, phenylglyoxal and benzoylacetaldehyde with phenolic compounds have been discussed. It was observed that the reaction mechanisms changed depending on the type of the phenolic and also dicarbonyl compounds. While, methylglyoxal gave the angular methyl derivative of naphthofuraranonaphthofuran with 2‐naphthol, phenylglyoxal and its p‐chloro and p‐methoxy derivatives formed benzo[b]naphtho[2,1‐f]oxepine‐13‐ones. However, resorcinol behaved different and gave 2‐phenyl‐3‐(2,4‐dihydroxy)‐6‐hydroxy‐benzo[b]furans with phenylglyoxal derivatives. 2‐Phenyl‐4‐(2‐hydroxynaphmyl)‐4H‐naphtho[b]pyran was produced from the reaction of benzoylacetaldehyde and 2‐naphthol, but the reaction product was 3,9‐dihydroxy‐6‐phenyl‐6,12‐methano‐12H‐dibenzo[1,3]dioxocin when the same carbonyl compound reacted with resorcinol.

The newly synthesized compounds were elucidated by elemental analysis, spectral data, chemical transformation, and alternative synthetic route whenever possible. J. Heterocyclic Chem., (2012).     

Synthesiss of novel 3‐(2‐thienyl)‐1,2‐diazepino[3,4‐b]quinoxalines with algicidal activity

The reaction of the quinoxaline N‐oxide 1 with thiophene‐2‐carbaldehyde gave 6‐chloro‐2‐[1‐methyl‐2‐(2‐thienylmethylene)hydrazino]quinoxaline 4‐oxide 5 , whose reaction with 2‐chloroacrylonitrile afforded 8‐chloro‐2,3‐dihydro‐4‐hydroxy‐1‐methyl‐3‐(2‐thienyl)‐1H‐1,2‐diazepino[3,4‐b]quinoxaline‐5‐carbonitrile 6 . The reaction of compound 6 with various alcohols in the presence of a base effected alcoholysis to provide the 5‐alkoxy‐8‐chloro‐2,3,4,6‐tetrahydro‐1‐methyl‐4‐oxo‐3‐(2‐thienyl)‐1H‐1,2‐diazepino[3,4‐b]‐quinoxalines 7a‐d . The reaction of compounds 7a and 7b with diethyl azodicarboxylate effected dehydrogenation to give the 5‐alkoxy‐8‐chloro‐4,6‐dihydro‐1‐methyl‐4‐oxo‐3‐(2‐thienyl)‐1H‐1,2‐diazepino[3,4‐b]‐quinoxalines 8a and 8b , respectively. Compounds 8a and 8b were found to show good algicidal activities against Selenastrum capricornutum and Nitzchia closterium.     

New approach to the synthesis of substituted 7H‐furo[3,2‐b]pyran‐7‐ones based on 5‐hydroxy‐2‐methyl‐4H‐pyran‐4‐one derivatives

A convenient approach to the synthesis of the previously unknown 7H‐furo[3,2‐b]pyran‐7‐ones based on the intramolecular cyclization of carbonyl derivatives of 5‐hydroxy‐2‐methyl‐4H‐pyran‐4‐one has been elaborated. Key intermediates in the synthesis of the target 7H‐furo[3,2‐b]pyran‐7‐ones are 3‐hydroxy‐6‐methyl‐2‐(2‐oxo‐2‐arylethyl)‐4H‐pyran‐4‐ones. They are formed as a result of multicomponent condensation of 5‐hydroxy‐2‐methyl‐4H‐pyran‐4‐one with arylglyoxals and 4‐methoxyaniline.     

Dicyano(7‐methyl‐6‐oxo‐6H‐dibenzo[b,d]pyran‐9‐yl)methanide Salts via a Multicomponent Reaction

Dialkylammonium dicyano(7‐methyl‐6‐oxo‐6H‐dibenzo[b,d]pyran‐9‐yl)methanides 4a – 4j are obtained in good yields via a simple reaction between 3‐acetylcoumarins (=3‐acetyl‐2H‐1‐benzopyran‐2‐ones) 1 and malononitrile ( 2 ) in EtOH (Table 1). In this reaction, a charge‐separated zwitterionic salt is formed.     

Annulation of o‐Aminoquinoxaline‐1,4‐dioxidenitrile with Ketonic Compounds Under Friedländer‐type Cyclocondensation and its Biological Evaluation

The reaction of compound 2‐amino‐3‐cyano‐6‐methylquinoxaline‐1,4‐dioxide with cyclohexanone and dimedone in dimethylformamide in the presence of anhydrous ZnCl₂ under Friedländer‐type cyclocondensation gave compounds 12‐amino‐9‐methyl‐1,2,3,4,12,12a‐hexahydroquinolino[2,3‐b]quinoxaline‐6,11‐dioxide ( 4 ), 7‐methyl‐4‐oxo‐3,4‐dihydro‐1H‐spiro[benzo[g]pteridine‐2,1′‐cyclohexane]5,10‐dioxide ( 5 ), and 12‐amino‐3,3,9‐trimethyl‐1‐oxo‐1,2,3,4,12,12a‐hexahydroquinolino[2,3‐b]quinoxaline‐6,11‐dioxide ( 6 ); (R)‐3′,3′,7‐trimethyl‐4,5′‐dioxo‐3,4‐dihydro‐1H‐spiro[benzo[g]pteridine‐2,1′‐cyclohexane]5,10‐dioxide ( 7 ) were achieved and evaluated their biological activity as antibacterial and antifungal activities and antitumor evaluation, and also, the density functional theory calculations were evaluated.     

Some Reactions with Indane‐1,3‐dione: A Facile Synthesis of Pentacycline Heterocyclic Analogues

Indane‐1,3‐dione 1 reacts with salicylaldehyde 5 and malononitrile 3 to afford 6‐amino‐7‐imino‐7H‐indeno‐[2′,1′:5,6]‐pyrano‐[3,4 ‐ c]‐chromene 6 , which could be transformed into the corresponding 7‐oxo derivative 7 . 2‐(3‐Oxoindan‐1‐ylidene)‐malononitrile 10 couples with the diazonium salts 8 , 14 , and 15 to afford after cyclization the indeno‐[2,1‐c]‐pyridazine 13 and the indeno‐[2′,1′:3,4]‐pyridazino‐[1,6‐a]‐quinazoline derivatives 20 and 21 , respectively.     

Diels‐alder reactions of 2‐(2‐nitroethenyl)‐1H‐pyrroles and their oxygen and sulfur analogs with quinones

Diels‐Alder reaction of 2‐(E‐2‐nitroethenyl)‐1H‐pyrrole ( 2a ) with 1,4‐benzoquinone gave the desired benzo[e]indole‐6, 9(3H)‐dione ( 4a ) in 10% yield versus a 26% yield (lit. 86% [5]) of the known N‐methyl compound ( 4b ) from the N‐(or 1)‐methyl compound ( 2b ). Protection of the nitrogen of 2a with a phenylsul‐fonyl group ( 2c ) gave a 9% yield of the corresponding N‐(or 3)‐phenylsulfonyl compound ( 4c ). The reaction of 2b with 1,4‐naphthoquinone gave in 6% yield (lit. 64% [5]) the known 3‐methylnaphtho[2,3‐e]‐indole‐6, 9(3H)‐dione ( 6 ). The reaction of 2‐(E‐2‐nitroethenyl)furan ( 8a ) gave a small yield of the desired naphtho[2,1‐b]furan‐6, 9‐dione ( 9a ), recognized by comparing its NMR spectrum with that of 4b. The corresponding reaction of 2‐(E‐2‐nitroethenyl)thiophene ( 8b ) gave a 4% yield of naphtho[2,1‐ b ]thiophene‐6,9‐dione ( 9b ), previously prepared in 24% yield [12] in a three‐step procedure involving 2‐ethenylthiophene. Introducing an electron‐releasing 2‐methyl substituent into 8a and 8b gave 12a and 12b , which, upon reaction with 1,4‐benzoquinone, gave 2‐methylnaphtho[2,1‐b]furan‐6, 9‐dione ( 13a ) and its sulfur analog ( 13b ) in yields of 4 and 8%, respectively.     

The Pseudo‐Michael Reaction of 2‐Hydrazinylidene‐1‐Arylimidazolidines with Diethyl Ethoxymethylenemalonate

The pseudo‐Michael reaction of 2‐hydrazinylidene‐1‐arylimidazolidines with diethyl ethoxymethylenemalonate (DEEM) was investigated. The reaction yields the chain adduct, namely diethyl{[2‐(1‐arylimidazolidin‐2‐ylidene)hydrazinyl]methylidene}propanedioates. This is contrary to the pseudo‐Michael reaction of DEEM with 1‐aryl‐4,5‐dihydro‐1H‐imidazol‐2‐amines that does not allow isolation of chain derivatives and leads to cyclic imidazo[1,2‐a]pyrimidine derivatives while even at thermodynamic control. At first cyclization of diethyl{[2‐(1‐arylimidazolidin‐2‐ylidene)hydrazinyl]methylidene}propanedioates leads to ethyl 1‐aryl‐5(1H,8H)oxo‐2,3‐dihydro‐imidazo[2,1‐c][1,2,4]triazepine‐6‐carboxylates. 1,5‐Sigmatropic shift, following the cyclization, caused isomerization of 5(1H,8H)oxo‐2,3‐dihydro‐imidazo[2,1‐c][1,2,4]triazepine‐6‐carboxylates to ethyl 1‐aryl‐5(1H)hydroxy‐2,3‐dihydroimidazo[2,1‐c][1,2,4]triazepine‐6‐carboxylates. Presence of both isomers in the reaction product was detected in the NMR spectra. The structure of all the compounds was confirmed with spectroscopic studies (¹H NMR and MS). The structure of diethyl{[2‐(1‐phenylimidazolidin‐2‐ylidene)hydrazinyl]methylidene}propanedioate was also confirmed by X‐ray crystallography. In the addition reaction, thermodynamics and HOMO–LUMO orbitals of the reactants were studied by using quantum chemical calculations.     

Thieno[2,3‐d]pyrimidines in the Synthesis of New Fused Heterocyclic Compounds of Prospective Antitumor and Antioxidant Agents (Part II)

Diethyl azodicarboxylate and 3,4,5,6‐tetrachloro‐1,2‐benzoquinone react with cyclopentano‐ and cycloheptano‐fused thienopyrimidines to form the oxidative dimer of the starting material via S—S bond formation. Reaction of two equivalents of 2,2′‐(cyclohexa‐2′,5′‐diene‐1,4‐diylidene)dimalononitrile with thienopyrimidines afforded 3‐(4′,4′‐dicyanomethylene‐cycloalka[a]‐2,5‐dienyl)‐4‐oxo‐6,7,8,9‐tetrahydro‐5H‐cyclo‐hepta[4,5]‐[1,3]thiazolo[3,2‐a]‐thieno[2,3‐d]pyrimidin‐2‐ylidene‐2‐dicarbonitriles. The thioenopyrimidines react with 2‐[1,3‐dioxo‐1H‐inden‐2(3H)‐ylidene]malononitrile to produce 1,3,5′‐trioxo‐1,3,3′,5′‐tetrahydrospiro‐(indene‐2,2′‐thiazolo[2,3‐b]‐cycloalkyl[b]‐thieno[2,3‐d]pyrimidine)‐3′‐carbonitriles. However, the reaction of thienopyrimidines with 2,3‐dicyano‐1,4‐naphthoquinone proceeded to afford the fused cycloalkyl‐thieno form of naphtho[1,3]thiazolo[3,2‐a]thieno[2,3‐d]pyrimidine‐6.7,12‐triones. Reaction of 2‐hydrazino‐5,6,7,8‐tetrahydrobenzo[b]thieno[2,3‐d]pyrimidine‐4(1H)‐one with dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate and ethyl propiolate, respectively, afforded cyclohexano‐fused (Z)‐dimethyl 2[(E)‐4‐oxo‐3,4‐dihydrothieno[2,3‐d]pyrimidine‐2(1H)‐ylidene)hydrazono]succinate and thieno‐pyrimidinotriazine. Both oxidative dimers of thienopyrimidines showed high inhibition of Hep‐G2 cell growth compared with the growth of untreated control cells. Moreover, the cycloheptano‐fused thiazinothienopyrimidine indicates a promising specific antitumor agent against Hep‐G2 cells because its IC₅₀ is < 20 μM.     

An Efficient One‐Pot Synthesis of Substituted 1H‐Naphtho[2,1‐b]pyrans and 4H‐1‐Benzopyrans (=Chromenes) under Solvent‐Free Microwave‐Irradiation Conditions

A facile heterogeneous synthesis of 3‐amino‐1‐aryl‐1H‐naphtho[2,1‐b]pyran and 2‐amino‐4‐aryl‐4H‐1‐benzopyran derivatives 3 and 5 , respectively, was carried out efficiently by one‐pot three‐component coupling of an aromatic aldehyde 1 , an active methylene compound 2 , and naphthalen‐2‐ol or a phenol 4 in the presence of 5‐Å molecular sieves under solvent‐free microwave‐irradiation conditions (Scheme 1 and 2, Tables 1 and 2). The catalyst was recovered and recycled (Table 3).     

Imidazo[2,1‐b]thiazoles,imidazo[2,1‐b]imidazoles and Pyrrolo[1,2‐c]imidazoles. synthesis,structure and evaluation of benzodiazepine receptor binding

As a continuation of our studies on bicyclic heterocycles with benzodiazepine receptor affinity, derivatives with a 5:5 bicyclic skeleton, namely imidazo[2,1‐b]thiazoles, imidazo[2,1‐b]imidazoles and pyrrolo[1,2‐c]imidazoles were prepared. The compounds possessed an aromatic substituent with different spatial arrangement and distance to the bicyclic skeleton. X‐ray structure analysis was performed for Z‐2‐(4‐chlorobenzylidene)‐5,5‐diphenyl‐2,3,5,6‐tetrahydroimidazo[2,1‐b]imidazoline‐3,6‐dione ( 6a ) and 5‐amino‐6‐cyano‐7‐phenyl‐1‐oxo‐3‐thioxo‐2,3‐dihydro‐1H‐pyrrolo[1,2‐c]imidazole ( 20a ). In contrast to the previously described arylideneimidazo[2,1‐b]thiazepinones the smaller heterocyclic ring systems investigated in this study were devoid of meaningful benzodiazepine receptor affinity as well as anti‐convulsant activity.     

New synthesis and reactivity of 3‐bromoacetyl‐4‐hydroxy‐6‐methyl‐2H‐pyran‐2‐one with binucleophilic amines

3‐(Bromoacetyl)‐4‐hydroxy‐6‐methyl‐2H‐pyran‐2‐one was synthesized by the reaction of dehydroacetic acid (DHAA) with bromine in glacial acetic acid. Novel heterocyclic products were synthesized from the reaction of bromo‐DHAA with alkanediamines, phenylhydrazines, ortho‐phenylenediamines, and ortho‐aminobenzenethiol.

Synthesis of New Functionalized Heterocyclic [4,3,3] Propellanes via Three‐component Reaction Based on Ninhydrin–Phenol Adducts

Three‐component reaction between ninhydrin–phenol adducts, dialkyl acetylenedicarboxylates, and triphenylphosphine was investigated. Utilizing this protocol, dialkyl 10‐oxo‐10H‐4b,9b‐(epoxyethanooxy)indeno[1,2‐b]benzofuran‐12,13‐dicarboxylates as functionalized heterocyclic [4,3,3] propellanes was synthesized in 6‐endo‐trig cyclization mode. 8‐hydroxyquinoline showed serendipitous reactivity and produced para substituted adduct in the reaction with ninhydrin in acetic acid media and hence produced dialkyl 8a‐(4‐(alkoxycarbonyl)‐2‐oxo‐2H‐pyrano[3,2‐h]quinolin‐6‐yl)‐8‐oxo‐8,8a‐dihydro‐2H‐indeno[2,1‐b]furan‐2,3‐dicarboxylate in the reaction with dialkyl acetylenedicarboxylates and PPh₃.     

The reaction between 3,3-bis(methoxyphenyl)-3H-naphtho[2,1-b]pyran and 1,3-bis(methoxyphenyl)-1H-naphtho[2,1-b]pyran, 2,2-diphenyl-2H-chromen and 2,4-diphenyl-4H-chromen,and related compounds

The reaction between 3,3-bis(methoxyphenyl)-3H-naphtho[2,1-b]pyran and 1,3-bis(methoxyphenyl)-1H-naphtho[2,1-b]pyran under acid conditions gives a 7a,15a-dihydro-7a,15-bis(methoxyphenyl)-16-[2,2-bis(methoxyphenyl)-l-vinyl]dinaphtho-[2,1-b:2,1-g]-4H,5H-pyrano[2,3-b]-pyran.     

Synthesis and reactions of 3‐amino‐2‐methyl‐3H‐[1,2,4]triazolo[5,1‐b]‐quinazolin‐9‐one and 2‐hydrazino‐3‐phenylamino‐3H‐quinazolin‐4‐one

The reaction of 3‐N‐(2‐mercapto‐4‐oxo‐4H‐quinazolin‐3‐yl)acetamide ( 1 ) with hydrazine hydrate yielded 3‐amino‐2‐methyl‐3H‐[1,2,4]triazolo[5,1‐b]quinazolin‐9‐one ( 2 ). The reaction of 2 with o‐chlorobenzaldehyde and 2‐hydroxy‐naphthaldehyde gave the corresponding 3‐arylidene amino derivatives 3 and 4 , respectively. Condensation of 2 with 1‐nitroso‐2‐naphthol afforded the corresponding 3‐(2‐hydroxy‐naphthalen‐1‐yl‐diazenyl)‐2‐methyl‐3H‐[1,2,4]triazolo[5,1‐b]quinazolin‐9‐one ( 5 ), which on subsequent reduction by SnCl₂ and HCl gave the hydrazino derivative 6. Reaction of 2 with phenyl isothiocyanate in refluxing ethanol yielded thiourea derivative 7. Ring closure of 7 subsequently cyclized on refluxing with phencyl bromide, oxalyl dichloride and chloroacetic acid afforded the corresponding thiazolidine derivatives 8, 9 and 10 , respectively. Reaction of 2‐mercapto‐3‐phenylamino‐3H‐quinazolin‐4‐one ( 11 ) with hydrazine hydrate afforded 2‐hydrazino‐3‐phenylamino‐3H‐quinazolin‐4‐one ( 12 ). The reactivity 12 towards carbon disulphide, acetyl acetone and ethyl acetoacetate gave 13, 14 and 15 , respectively. Condensation of 12 with isatin afforded 2‐[N‐(2‐oxo‐1,2‐dihydroindol‐3‐ylidene)hydrazino]‐3‐phenylamino‐3H‐quinazolin‐4‐one ( 16 ). 2‐(4‐Oxo‐3‐phenylamino‐3,4‐dihydroquinazolin‐2‐ylamino)isoindole‐1,3‐dione ( 17 ) was synthesized by the reaction of 12 with phthalic anhydride. All isolated products were confirmed by their ir, ¹H nmr, ¹³C nmr and mass spectra.
