Synthesis of novel unsymmetrical coumarinyl-1,4-dihydropyridines

The novel unsymmetrical 3,5-dialkoxycarbonyl-2,6-dimethyl-4-(7′,8′-dimethoxycoumarin-4′-yl)-1,4-dihydropyridines and 5-acetyl-3-alkoxycarbonyl-2,6-dimethyl-4-(7′,8′-dimethoxycoumarin-4′-yl)-1,4-dihydropyridines (coumarinyl-1,4-dihydropyridines) have been synthesized by Knoevenagel condensation of 4-formyl-7,8-dimethoxycoumarin with alkyl acetoacetates in the presence of AlCl₃ followed by cyclization of the resulted Knoevenagel product with other alkyl acetoacetate or acetyl acetone and ammonium acetate. The structure of the intermediate Knoevenagel product and the cyclized unsymmetrical coumarinyl-1,4-dihydropyridines has been established on the basis of their spectral data analysis and single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The observed conformation of the coumarinyl-1,4-dihydropyridines holds the key to promising calcium antagonistic activity of the synthesized coumarinyl-1,4-dihydropyridines.

Synthesis and Properties of 7-Acetyl-8-aryl-9-cyano-3-hydroxy-6-methyl-3,4-dihydro-2H,8H-pyrido[2,1-<Emphasis Type="Italic">b</Emphasis>][1,3]thiazines

7-Acetyl-8-aryl-2-(1-chloro-2-hydroxy-3-propyl)thio-9-cyano-6-methyl-1,4-dihydropyridines were obtained by treatment of 1,4-dihydropyridine-2(3H)-thiones with epichlorohydrin in the presence of sodium bicarbonate. When treated with NaOMe, these compounds are readily intramolecularly alkylated with formation of 7-acetyl-8-aryl-3-hydroxy-9-cyano-6-methyl-3,4-dihydro-2H,8H-pyrido[2,1-b]-[1,3]thiazines. We have studied amination of 2-(1-chloro-2-hydroxy-3-propyl)thio-1,4-dihydropyridines and acylation of 3-hydroxy-3,4-dihydro-2H,8H-pyrido[2,1-b][1,3]thiazines. __________ Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 9, pp. 1394–1399, September, 2005.     

Substitution reactions involving the 2,6-methyl groups of 1,4-dihydropyridines

4,4-Disubstituted 1,4-dihydropyridines (I) are brominated with bromine in chloroform to give 2,6-bis(bromomethyl)-4,4-disubstituted 1,4-dihydropyridines (II), whereas 2,6-bis(dibromomethyl)-4,4-disubstituted 1,4-dihydropyridines (III) are obtained in the case of bromination of I in acetic acid. The bromine atoms in II and III are labile and readily undergo nucleophilic substitution.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 11, pp. 1519–1524, November, 1978.     

Regioselective arylation of 3-bromopyridine

The addition of aryl Grignard reagents to the 1-phenoxycarbonyl salt of 3-bromopyridine affords 2-aryl-5-bromo-1-phenoxycarbonyl-1,2-dihydropyridines and 4-aryl-3-bromo-1-phenoxycarbonyl-1,4-dihydropyridines. The crude dihydropyridines were aromatized with o-chloranil in refluxing toluene to give 4- and 6-aryl-3-bromopyridines. The regioselectivity of this two-step process, 6- vs. 4-substitution, was examined and found to be dependent upon the structure of the Grignard reagent. Unhindered aryl Grignard reagents, e.g., phenyl and 2-naphthyl, gave mainly 6-aryl-3-bromopyridines (49-52%) along with 9% of the 4-substituted isomer and less than 4% of the 2-aryl-3-bromopyridine. Hindered aryl Grignard reagents, e.g., o-tolyl and 1-naphthyl, are less regioselective. When a catalytic amount of cuprous iodide is present during the Grignard reaction, nearly exclusive 1,4-addition results. The crude 4-aryl-3-bromo-1,4-dihydropyridines were aromatized with p-chloranil to provide 4-aryl-3-bromopyridines in good yield and high isomeric purity. The sequential use of the cuprous iodide-catalyzed Grignard reaction and the “normal” Grignard reaction provided a regiospeci-fic synthesis of 3-bromo-6-(p-methoxyphenyl)-4-phenylpyridine from 3-bromopyridine.     

Iron(III) phosphate catalyzed synthesis of 1,4-dihydropyridines

Synthesis of Ammonium 5-Arylcarbamoyl-4-heteryl-6-methyl-3-cyano-1,4-dihydropyridine-2-thiolates and 4-Heteryl-5-carbamoyl-6-methyl-3-cyano-1,4-dihydropyridine-2-selenolates

The condensation of enamines derived from acetoacetanilides, heterocyclic aldehydes, and cyanothioacetamide yielded ammonium 5-arylcarbamoyl-5-heteryl-6-methyl-3-cyano-1,4-dihydropyridine-2-thiolates, which were subsequently used for the synthesis of substituted 2-alkylthio-1,4-dihydropyridines, 2-alkylthiopyridines, and thieno[2,3-b]pyridines. The reaction of acetoacetamide with heteroaromatic aldehydes and cyanoselenoacetamide in the presence of N-ethylmorpholine yielded N-ethylmorpholinium 4-heteryl-5-carbamoyl-6-methyl-3-cyano-1,4-dihydrolyridine-2-selenolates, from which substituted 2-alkylseleno-1,4-dihydropyridines were prepared.__________Translated from Zhurnal Obshchei Khimii, Vol. 75, No. 3, 2005, pp. 483–492.Original Russian Text Copyright © 2005 by Dyachenko.     

Sequential three-component reactions: synthesis, regioselectivity and application of functionalized dihydropyridines (DHPs) for the creation of fused naphthyridines

Facile and efficient synthesis of tetrasubstituted 1,4- and 1,6-dihydropyridines (DHPs) has been achieved by employing three-component domino reaction using dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate (DMAD), aliphatic amines, and α,β-unsaturated aldehyde in the presence of 30 mol % trifluoroacetic acid. Interestingly, regioselectivity for the synthesis of 1,4-dihydropyridines can be increased by using 30 mol % triflic acid. In addition, the synthesis of fused-naphthyridine derivatives has been accomplished involving imino-Diels-Alder reaction by employing 1,4-dihydropyridines, aromatic aldehydes, and aromatic amines.

Bromination of 4-aryl-3,5-dialkoxycarbonyl-2,6-dimethyl-1,4-dihydropyridines

4-Aryl-3,5-dialkoxycarbonyl-2,6-dimethyl-1,4-dihydropyridines are brominated by N-bromosuccinimide in methanol at room temperature at the methyl groups at positions 2 and 6 to form mono-, di-, tri-, and tetrabromo derivatives. When the N-unsubstituted bromomethyl-1,4-dihydropyridines are heated they are easily converted to tetrahydrofuropyridines, but in the case of the analogous N-substituted-1,4-dihydropyridines cyclization does not occur. The 2,6-bis(bromomethyl)-substituted products easily replace bromine under the influence of nucleophilic reagents.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 9, pp. 1230–1235, September, 1991.     

Highly regioselective photodimerization of 1,4-dihydropyridines: An efficient synthesis of novel 3,6-diazatetraasteranes

Conventional photocycloaddition of 1,4-dihydropyridines does not afford novel head-to-head 3,6-diazatetraasteranes. Herein, we describe a highly regioselective method to synthesize 3,6-diazatetraasteranes via an intramolecular photodimerization of 1,4-dihydropyridines. First, the 1,4-dihydropyridines were tethered by phthaloyl to direct a proximate parallel arrangement in head-to-head orientation by the rotation of CC single bonds in solution. An intramolecular [2 + 2] photocycloaddition proceeded subsequently to give desired 3,6-diazatetraasteranes in high yield (92–97%) and excellent regioselectivity. Furthermore, two different 1,4-dihydropyridines can also be regiocontrolled by this strategy and produce polysubstituted 3,6-diazatetraasteranes via a cross-photodimerization in a concise and efficient way. In addition, this approach can provide direct access to other polysubstituted polyhedron scaffolds from 1,4-dihydropyridine analogues.     

Organocatalyzed regioselective and enantioselective synthesis of 1,4- and 1,2-dihydropyridines

Abstract

Herein, we introduce one of the first examples of asymmetric organocatalyzed synthesis of 1,2-dihydropyridines, affording enantioselective access to and partially solving regioselectivity challenges in the synthesis of dihydropyridines. We demonstrate that through modification of organocatalysts both 1,2- and 1,4-dihydropyridines (1,2- and 1,4-DHPs) can be obtained with high regioselectivity (ratio of 1,2-DHP/1,4-DHP from 95/5 to 0/100) and enantioselectivity (33% ee for 1,2-DHPs and up to 98% ee for 1,4-DHPs) in good yields (up to 87%).

Data on the bromination, chlorination, and bromolactonization of 4-aryl-1,4-dihydropyridines are correlated. The reactions of the products of bromination of 4-aryl-1,4-dihydropyridines with various nucleophilic agents (amines and iodide, azide, and thiocyanate ions) and reactions involving the heterocyclization of the products of substitution of the 2,6-methyl groups of 4-aryl-1,4-dihydropyridines, which lead to condensed furo-, difuro-, pyrrolo-, dipyrrolo-, furopyrrolo-, and furothiazolopyridines and thiazolopyridothiadiazines are examined.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 6, pp. 781–791, June, 1992.

Efficient and Rapid Synthesis of Highly Functionalized Novel Symmetric 1,4-Dihydropyridines Using Glacial Acetic Acid as Solvent

A new series of 1,4-dihydropyridines bearing a pyrazole moiety in the 4-position were synthesized by a variation of the classical Hantzsch synthesis. The reaction of 1,3-diphenyl-1H-pyrazole-4-carbaldehyde 4a–n with 3-amino crotononitrile in the presence of glacial acetic acid afforded novel 3,5-dicyano-2,6-dimethyl 1,4-dihydropyridines 5a–n. The procedure has short reaction time (15–20 min), easy workup, and good yield of product. The structures of all synthesized compounds were well characterized by mass, infrared, ¹H and ¹³C NMR, and elemental analysis.

Zum Reaktionsmechanismus von Glutaraldehyd mit Proteinen

The interaction of glutaraldehyde with model aliphatic amines was studied in order to understand the crosslinking reaction of glutaraldehyde with proteins. The reaction in organic solvents gave N-alkyl-1,4-dihydropyridines and N,N-dialkyl-1,5-diiminopentanes. The isolated products are new or were previously described by us for the first time¹. Hydration of the reaction products led to stable N-alkylpiperidines and N,N-dialkyl-1,5-diaminopentanes. In aqueous solution the reaction depends on thepH: at apH above 7, N-alkyl-1,4-dihydropyridines and at apH below 7, polymers were obtained. For the crosslinking reaction of proteins with glutaraldehyde the following mechanism is proposed: Monomeric glutaraldehyde reacts with the protein to give intermediate N-alkyl-2,6-dihydroxypiperidines. Intramolecular dehydration leads to the corresponding N-alkyl-1,4-dihydropyridines. Condensation of the cyclic monohydrate of glutaraldehyde and N-alkyl-2,6-dihydroxypiperidines gives linear polymeric crosslinks containing -oxo-N-alkylpiperidine units.

The oxidation of 1,4-dihydropyridines

The olefinic bond of methenylbisindan-1,3-dione, 2-benzylideneindan-1, 3-dione, and its derivatives is easily reduced by many 1, 4-dihydropyridines.
