2-Polyfluoroalkylchromones. 5. Nitration and chlorination of 2-trifluoromethylchromones

Electrophilic nitration of 2-trifluoromethylchromone and its 6- and 7-methoxy derivatives affords 6-, 5-, and 8-nitro derivatives, respectively, while 5,7-dimethyl-2-trifluoromethylchromone yields a 6,8-dinitro derivative. Radical chlorination results in 3-chloro derivatives.     

Saturated heterocycles. Part 209. Synthesis of 1-cyclohexyl-substituted isoquinoline derivatives

In contrast with earlier literature data [7], both acrylic esters and acrylonitrile underwent Michael addition to l-methyl-3,4-dihydroisoquinolines 1-4 to yield the diesters 5-9 or the dinitrile 10 , respectively. Compounds 5-10 were converted by Claisen condensation to 1-[(3′-methoxycarbonyl- or 1-[(3′-ethoxycarbonyl-4′-oxo)-l'-cyclohexyl]-3,4-dihydroisoquinoline derivatives 11-16 . Several derivatives of 12 were prepared. The new compounds possess various pharmacological actions.     

Studies on the syntheses of heterocyclic compounds. Part CCCXXIX. Syntheses of i-spiroisoquinoline derivatives by phenolic cyclization

Phenolic cyclization of 2-(3-hydroxyphenyl)-2-methylethylamine (XIIIa) and 2-(3-hydroxyphenyl)phenethylamine (XIIIb) with various carbonyl compounds afforded eight types of corresponding 1-spirocycloalkano- and 1-spiroheterocycloalkano-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline derivatives (1-VIII) and 1,1-disubstituted-1, 2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline derivative (IX). The acetyl derivatives of VI and IX and the benzoyl derivatives of III and V were also prepared. In addition, a synthetic method for obtaining the starting phenethylamines was examined.     

Pyrimidines. XXXIII. Synthesis and properties of new fervenulin derivatives

A series of new 3-substituted fervenulin (6,8-dimethylpyrimido[5,4-c]-1,2,4-triazine-5,7-dione) ( 1 ) derivatives have been synthesized by modifying the 3-alkyl- and aralkyl side-chains. Brominations of 3-methyl -15 , 3-ethyl -16- and 3-benzylfervenulin ( 17 ) led to mono- and dibromo derivatives 22, 23, 25–27 , which are prone to various nucleophilic displacement reactions 24, 28–35 . Periodate oxidation and ozonolysis, respectively, of 3-styrylfervenulin ( 20 ) afforded fervenulin-3-carboxaldehyde ( 36 ) which was transformed to a folic acid analog ( 39 ). Potassium permanganate oxidation of 3-alkylfervenulins 15–19 afforded only ring-contraction to 3-alkyl-5,7-dimethylimidazo[4,5-e]-1,2,4-triazin-6-ones 42–46 which are also formed as mixtures with its 2,4a-dihydro derivatives 47–50 on treatment with ethanolic sodium hydroxide. Fervenulin-3-carboxylic acid ( 55 ) can be converted to the corresponding acid chloride 58 which reacts with amines to fervenulin-3-carboxamides 59, 64–67 and/or 2,4a-dihydro-5, 7 -dimethylimidazo[4,5-e]-1,2,4-triazin-6-one-biscarboxamides 60–64 .

The following bromo-2,4(1H,3H)-pyrimidinediones possessing a bromo substituent at the 5-position and side chains at the 1- and 6-positions were prepared. The three types of mono-bromo derivatives are: 1-(bromoalkyl)-3,6-dimethyl- 3a-d , 5-bromo-3,6-dimethyl-1-(hydroxyalkyl)- 4a-d , and 1-(acetoxyalkyl)-5-bromo-3,6-dimethyl-2,4(1H,3H)-pyrimidinediones 11a-d . The three types of dibromo derivatives are: 5-bromo-1-(bromoalkyl)-3,6-dimethyl- Sa-d , 1-(acetoxyalkyl)-5-bromo-6-bromomethyl- 8a, 8c , and 8d , and 5-bromo-6-bromomethyl 1-(hydroxyalkyl)-2,4(1H,3H)-pyrimidinediones 9a, 9c , and 9d . Likewise one group of tribromo and one group of tetrabromo derivatives are: 5-bromo-1-(bromoalkyl)-6-bromomethyl -7a-d and 5-bromo-1-(bromoalkyl)-6-dibromomethyl-2,4(1H,3H)-pyrimidinediones 6a-d .

Two new phloroglucinol derivatives, isomallotolerin (1) and isomallotochromanol (2), were isolated from the cytotoxic fraction of the pericarps of Mallotus japonicus. The new derivatives were identified as 3-(3-methyl-2-hydroxybut-3-enyl)-5-(3-acetyl-2,4-dihydroxy-5-methy l-6- methoxybenzyl)-phlorisobutyrophenone (1) and 6-acetyl-5,7-dihydroxy-8-(3-acetyl-2,4-dihydroxy-5-methyl-6-methoxybenzy l)-2,2- dimethyl-3-hydroxychroman (2) from chemical and spectral data. Isomallotolerin and its acetate were found to be cytotoxic to KB cell line.     

Azasteroids. Synthesis by Diels-Alder Reaction between Maleimides, Citraconimide, and Triazolindiones and 1-(1-Trialkylsiloxyvinyl)-3,4-dihydronaphthalene Derivatives

Summary. 18-Nor-16-azaestrane derivatives with 8β, 13β, and 14β orientation were isolated from Diels-Alder reactions between maleimides or citraconimide and 1-(1-siloxyvinyl)naphthalene derivatives. (8RS)-13,14,16-Triazaestrane derivatives were synthesized from 1,2,4-triazolin-3,5-diones. The parent 11-oxo derivatives were obtained by desilylation, and they were transformed into 11-hydroxyimino derivatives. 3-Hydroxy derivatives, finally were synthesized by cleavage of the 3-methoxy group with BBr₃. During these transformations the stereochemistry of the steroidal skeleton was not changed. The stereochemistry of these “unnatural” steroids was elucidated by spectroscopic methods, and compared with results from calculations, and with the configuration of natural estrane derivatives. Finally, an improved method for the synthesis of the starting material, 6-methoxy-1-[(1-trialkylsiloxy)-vinyl]-3,4-dihydronaphthalene was developed.     

Studies on hypolipidemic agents. IV. 3-[4-(Phenylthio)benzoyl]propionic acid derivatives

2-Acetylthio-3-benzoylpropionic acid derivatives having two benzene rings or condensed-ring moieties were prepared, and tested for hypolipidemic activity in normal rats. Some of these compounds were active. 2-Acetylthio-3-[4-(phenylthio)benzoyl]propionic acid (10) and its derivatives seemed to have the most potent hypocholesterolemic activities. Compound 10 showed strong activity, especially in cholesterol-fed rats.     

Electrolytic partial fluorination of organic compounds. 54. Anodic mono- and trifluorination of thiochroman-4-one derivatives and the factors affecting product selectivity

Anodic fluorination of (E)-3-benzylidene-2,3-dihydrothiochroman-4-one and 3-benzyl-1-thiochromone derivatives under a variety of electrolytic conditions was found to provide selectively or exclusively the same fluorinated products: (E)-3-benzylidene-2,3-dihydro-2-fluorothiochroman-4-ones. In addition, di- and trifluorinated derivatives were also obtained depending on the starting heterocycles and electrolytic conditions. The factors affecting the product selectivity were also examined.

Syntheses are reported for derivatives of pyrimido[4,5-b]- and pyrido[2, 3-b]-1,4-benzoxazepines as well as of their 5,6-dihydro derivatives. The properties and structures of these compounds were studied.For Communication 41, see [1].Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 1, pp. 122–125, January, 1985.

Chemistry of heteroanalogs of isoflavones 14. Isoxazole analogs of isoflavones

Isoxazole analogs of isoflavones have been synthesized by the cyclization of -(3-isoxazolyl)-2-hydroxyacetophenones. Their alkylation, acylation, and electrophilic substitution reactions, and reactions with binucleophiles have been studied. 3-(3-Isoxazolyl)-7-methoxychromones are rearranged selectively into 2-aminochromone derivatives by the action of hydroxylamine as a result of a double recyclization and are recyclized into pyrazole derivatives by hydrazine. Preparations with hypolipidemic, anabolic, hypoglycemic, and antiarrhythmic action are found among the derivatives of 3-(3-isoxazolyl)chromones.For Communication 13, see [1].Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 1, pp. 29–39, January, 1993.     

On triazoles. XII. The carbamoylation and thiocarbamoylation of 5-amino-1,2,4-triazoles

The reaction of 5-amino-3-R-1H-1,2,4-triazoles 1 with isocyanates 2 (X = O) and isothiocyanates 2 (X = S) was studied. It was stated that with isocyanates 3a (X = O) type ring-carbamoylated products were formed which did not rearrange to the corresponding exo-carbamoylated derivatives 6a (X = O). On the other hand the thiocarbamoylation of derivatives 1 provided at mild conditions lead to derivatives 3a (X = S) which could be rearranged by heating to derivatives 6a (X = S). In one case the isomeric 4a (X = S) type derivative was also isolated. The comparison of the ir, uv, pmr and cmr spectra of the isomers isolated with the corresponding spectra of the carbamoylated and thiocarbamoylated 3,5-diamino-1,2,4-triazole derivatives helped to prove unequivocally the isomeric and tautomeric structure of compounds obtained giving a possibility to correct many confusions in the literature.     

Novel 1,4-dihydropyridine calcium antagonists. I. Synthesis and hypotensive activity of 4-(substituted pyridyl)-1,4-dihydropyridine derivatives

A series of 4-(substituted pyridyl)-1,4-dihydropyridine derivatives were synthesized and their hypotensive effects examined. Several compounds, 2-(N-benzyl-N-methylamino)ethyl methyl 1,4-dihydro-2,6-dimethyl-4-(3-nitro-2-pyridyl)-3,5-pyridinedicarboxylate (2b), its 4-(4-nitro-2-pyridyl) analogue (2g), 4-(3-trifluoromethyl-2-pyridyl) analogue (2c), 4-(2-trifluoromethyl-3-pyridyl) analogue (3e), 4-(4-cyano-2-pyridyl) analogue (2e), 4-(2-cyano-3-pyridyl) analogue (3d), and 4-(6-bromo-2-pyridyl) analogue (2i), were found to have a hypotensive activity parallel to that of nicardipine; 2c and 3e, in particular, had approximately twice the duration of nicardipine, and 2e had the most potent hypotensive activity of all the derivatives synthesized.

The 3-amino-3,5-didesoxy-1,2-O-isopropylidene-α-D -ribofuranose and -β-D -lyxo-furanose and several derivatives thereof have been prepared by hydride reduction of the corresponding oximes.     

Studies on anti-ulcer agents. II. Synthesis and anti-ulcer activities of 6-isopropylazulene-1-sodium sulfonate derivatives

A series of alkylazulene-1-sodium sulfonate derivatives which has an isopropyl group at 6-position were synthesized, and their anti-ulcer activities were examined in Shay pylorus-ligated rats. The values of lipophilicity (log P) as a parameter of these new azulene derivatives were also examined in reference to the structure-activity relationship. The optimum value of log P, which showed maximal anti-ulcer activity, was about -0.46. Among the derivatives of azulene examined, 3-ethyl-6-isopropylazulene-1-sodium sulfonate (compound IXb:XT1-785) exhibited the most potent inhibitory action against Shay ulcer, and its anti-peptic activity was similar to that of 3-ethyl-7-isopropylazulene-1-sodium sulfonate (KT1-32). It also had more activity than guaiazulene sodium sulfonate (GAS). Furthermore, KT1-785 was extremely stable under heating as compared to GAS.     

4-Substituted-3-alkyl-3,4-dihydro-2H-1,3-benzoxazin-2-ones. IV (2-4). Keto-Enol tautomerism of β-keto ester derivatives. Reaction of β-dicarbonyl compounds with diamines

A series of α-[3-alkyl-3,4-dihydro-2-oxo-2H-1,3-benzoxazin-4-yl]-β-keto ester derivatives 1 (Table I) were synthesized by the condensation of 3-alkyl-3,4-dihydro-4-hydroxy-2H-1,3-benzoxazine-2-ones 3 (2) with β-keto esters 4 in the presence of traces of mineral acids under azeotropic conditions. Condensation of 1 with hydrazines 5 gave pyrazolone derivatives 2 (Table II). Condensation of β-diketone derivatives 6 with hydrazines 5 and with 1,2-benzenediamine ( 8 ) resulted in the formation of pyrazoles ( 7a-c ) and diazepine derivatives 12 (Table III) and 13 , respectively.     

Chemistry of ecteinascidins. Part 2. Preparation of 6'-O-acyl derivatives of stable ecteinascidin and evaluation of cytotoxicity

A large amount of stable ecteinascidin 770 (1b) was isolated from the Thai tunicate, Ecteinascidia thurstoni, which was pretreated with potassium cyanide in buffer solution (pH 7), along with a minor metabolite, ecteinascidin 786 (1c). A number of 6'-O-acyl derivatives 3-19 and three diacetyl derivatives 2a-c of the stable 1b were prepared and evaluated for activity against human tumor cell lines HCT116, QG56, and DU145. Nitrogen-containing heterocyclic ester derivatives such as 12, 13, and 16-19 showed similar in vitro cytotoxicity to 1b, whereas the other derivatives were less cytotoxic than 1b. Furthermore, we discovered that the N-indole-3-carbonyl derivative of ecteinascidin 770 (22) has higher cytotoxicity than 1b.     

Synthesis and biological activities of new 1,4-benzothiazine derivatives.

New 2H-1,4-benzothiazin-3(4H)-one derivatives possessing (4-phenyl-1-piperazinyl)alkyl moieties at the 2-position were synthesized and tested for calcium antagonistic and calmodulin antagonistic activities. Antihypertensive effects in spontaneously hypertensive rats were also evaluated. In general, these compounds were rather weak calcium channel blockers, although, in contrast, many of them had moderate to potent calmodulin antagonistic activity, and 2-[3-(4-(4-fluorophenyl)-1-piperazinyl]propyl]-2H-1,4-benzothiazin -3 (4H)-one derivatives 45, 74 and 75 showed potent antihypertensive effects.
