Preparation of novel heterocyclic systems from isatoic anhydrides

Isatoic anhydride ( 1a ) and 5-chloroisatoic anhydride ( 1b ) were treated with 2-(1-methylhydrazino)ethanol ( 2 ) to produce 2-aminobenzoic acid 2-(2-hydroxyethyl)-2-methylhydrazide ( 3a ) and its 5-chloro analog 3b , respectively. Treatment of 3a and 3b with carbon disulfide gave, respectively, 2,3-dihydro-3-[(2-hydroxyethyl)methylamino]-2-thioxo-4-(1H)quinazolinone ( 4a ) and its 6-chloro analog 4b . Compounds 4a and 4b afforded 5,6-dihydro-5-methyl-2-thioxo-4H,8H-[1,3,5,6]oxathiadiazocino[4,5-b]quinazolin-8-one ( 5a ) and its 10-chloro analog 5b , respectively, upon treatment with thiophosgene. Compound 5a could be produced directly from 3a and thiophosgene. Treatment of 4a and 4b with trifluoroacetic anhydride followed by potassium carbonate gave 3,4-dihydro-4-methyl-2H,6H-[1,3,4]thiadiazino[2,3-b]quinazolin-6-one ( 7a ) and its 8-chloro analog 7b , respectively. Treatment of 4a with thionyl chloride also gave 7a , but 4b and thionyl chloride afforded a mixture of 7b and 8-chloro-3,4-dihydro-4-methyl-2H,6H-[1,3,4]oxadiazino[2,3-b]quinazolin-6-one ( 10 ). The dimethyl analogs of 4a and 4b ( 13a and 13b ) upon treatment with thiophosgene afforded 3,4-dihydro-2,2,4-trimethyl-2H,6H-[1,3,4]oxadiazino[2,3-b]quinazolin-6-one ( 14a ) and its 8-chloro analog 14b , respectively.     

Nitrogen bridgehead compounds. Part 55 Synthesis of substituted 7,8-dihydro-5H,13H-indolo[2′,3′:3,4]pyrido[2,1-b]quinazolin-5-ones

Fischer indolization of 6-arylhydrazono-6,7,8,9-tetahydro-11H-pyrido[2,1-b]quinazolin-11-ones 1 afforded substituted 7,8-dihydro-5H,13H-indolo[2′,3′:3,4]pyrido[2,1-b]quinazolin-5-ones 3-12 in high yields.     

Studies on quinazolinones. 2. Synthesis of 2-(4-benzylpiperazin-1-ylmethyl)-2,3-dihydro-5H-oxazolo[2,3–6]quinazolin-5-one and -2,3-dihydro-5H-thiazolo[2,3-b]quinazolin-5-one

To search for novel antihypertensive heterocycles in the condensed quinazoline series, two representative compounds were synthesized via a suitable reaction sequences. Treating anthranilonitrile with allyl isocyanate gave 2-(allylureido)benzonitrile ( 10 ) in a quantitative yield. Compound 10 was cyclized to 3-allylquinazoline-2(1H, 4(3H)-dione ( 11 ). Bromination of 11 in carbon tetrachloride converted it into the corresponding 3-(2,3-dibromopropyl) derivative ( 12 ) in 92% yield. Ring closure of 12 was effected by the action of alkali to afford 2-bromomethyl-2,3-dihydro-5H-oxazolo[2,3-b]quinazolin-5-one ( 13 ). The title compound, 2-(4-benzylpiperazin-1-ylmethyl)-2,3-dihydro-5H-oxazolo[2,3-b]quinazolin-5-one ( 7 ) could be obtained by a reaction of either 12 or 13 with 1-benzylpiperazine respectively. Starting from the readily available 3-allyl-2H-thioxoquinazolin-4(3H)-one ( 16 ) via the analogous reactions gave the 2-bromomethyl-2,3-dihydro-5H-thiazolo[2,3-b]-quinazolin-5-one ( 19 ) in good yield. However, the reaction of 19 with 1-benzylpiperazine provided another target compound, 2-(4-benzylpiperazin-1-ylmethyl)-2,3-dihydro-5H-thiazolo[2,3-b]quinazolin-5-one ( 8 ) only in poor yield (8%). As major product, the dehydrobrominated compound, 2-methylene-2,3-dihydro-5H-thiazolo[2,3-b]quinazolin-5-one ( 22 ) was isolated. A preliminary pharmacological evaluation revealed that both compounds 7 and 8 are devoid of the antihypertensive activity.

The reactions of 3-acetyl-4-ethoxycarbonyl- or 3,4-diethoxycarbonylpyrrolo[1,2-a]pyrimidine derivatives 7a,b , which were prepared by condensation of the 2-aminopyrrole ( 4 ) with ethyl 3-ethoxymethylene-2,4-dioxovalerate ( 5a ) or ethyl ethoxymethyleneoxaloacetate ( 5b ), with diazomethane are described. Thus, reaction of 7a , with diazomethane gave ethyl 2a-acetyl-7-cyano-2a,3a-dihydro-5,6-dimethyl-3H -cyclopropa[e]pyrrolo[1,2-a]pyrimidine-3a-carboxylate ( 11 ) in 74% yield, which was readily transformed into the 1-pyrrol-2-yl-pyrrole ( 18 ) by treatment with potassium hydroxide. On the other hand, reaction of 7b with diazomethane afforded three products whose structures were assigned as diethyl 7-cyano-2a,3a-dihydro-5,6-dimethyl-3H-cyclopropa[e]pyrrolo[1,2-a]pyrimidine-2a,3a-carboxylate ( 20 ), 6-cyano-7,8-dimethyl-3a,3b,5,9a-tetrahydro-4H -aziridino[c]-1H or 3H-pyrazolo[3,4-e]pyrrolo[1,2-a]pyrimidine-3a,9a-dicarboxylates ( 21,22 ). Ring Transformation of 20 to 25 was not observed.     

Pyrrolopyridazine nucleosides. The synthesis of certain 1-β-D-ribofuranosyl-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyridazin-4(5H)-ones

Nucleosides of pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyridazin-4(5H)-ones were prepared by the single-phase sodium salt glycosylation of appropriately functionalized pyrrole precursors. The glycosylation of the sodium salt of ethyl 4,5-dichloro-2-formyl-1H-pyrrole-3-carboxylate ( 4 ), or its azomethino derivative 7 , with 1-bromo-2,3,5-tri-O-benzoyl-D-ribofuranose in acetonitrile afforded the corresponding substituted pyrrole nucleosides ethyl 4,5-dichloro-2-formyl-1-(2,3,5-tri-O-benzoyl-β-D-ribofuranosyl)-1H-pyrrole-3-carboxylate ( 5 ) and ethyl 4,5-dichloro-2-phenylazomethino-1-(2,3,5-tri-O-benzoyl-β-D-ribofuranosyl)-1H-pyrrole-3-carboxylate ( 8 ), respectively. The latter, upon treatment with hydrazine, afforded the annulated product 2,3-dichloro-1-β-D-ribofuranosyl-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyridazin-4(5H)-one ( 6 ), in good yield. The unsubstituted analog 1-β-D-ribofuranosyl-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyridazin-4(5H)-one ( 9 ), was obtained upon catalytic dehalogenation of 6 . This report represents the first example of the synthesis of nucleosides of pyrrolopyridazines.     

Reactions of o-aminonitriles with isocyanates. 1. A two-step synthesis of 2,6-dihydroimidazo[1,2-c]quinazolin-5-(3H)one

The reaction of anthranilonitrile with 2-chloroethyl isocyanate yields 2-[3-(2-chloroethyl)ureido]benzo-nitrile ( 6 ) which, upon heating, or treatment with base, undergoes a double cyclization to form 2,6-dihydroimidazo[1,2-c]quinazolin-5-(3H) one ( 8 ) in excellent yield. When heated with hydrochloric acid, 6 is converted initially into 2-(2-chloroethylamino)-4H-[3,1]benzoxazin-4-one ( 18 ) and further into 3-(2-chloroethyl)-2,4-(1H,3H)quinazolinedione ( 15 ). The acid-catalyzed reaction of 2,3-dihydro-5H-oxazolo[2,3-b]quinazolin-5-one ( 14 ) with nucleophilic reagents yields 3-substituted 2,4-(1H,3H)quinazolinediones.

The synthesis of pyrazino[2,3-f]quinazolin-8,10-(7H,9H)dione(proximal-benzolumazine, 1 ), imidazo[4,5-f]-quinazolin-7,9-(6H,8H)-dione (proximal-benzoxanthine, 2 ), 6,8-dimethylimidazo[4,5-f]-quinazolin-7,9-(6H,8H) dione (proximal-benzotheophylline, 3 ), and 1,6,8-trimethylimidazo[4,5-f]quinazolin-7,9-(6H,8H)dione (proximal-benzocaffeine, 4 ) is reported by commencing with 2-amino-6-chlorobenzamide and proceeding via a variety of 5,6-disubstituted-2,4-(1H,3H)quinazolinediones. Methylation of 3 is shown to yield 3,6,8-trimethylimidazo[4,5-f]quinazolin-7,9-(6H,8H)dione ( 15 ) and 4 in a ratio of 4:1.

Starting from the readily available 2-aminobenzhydrols ( 7 ), 3-amino-1,2,4-benzotriazine ( 11 ) and 2-amino-3-pyridinol ( 12 ), novel derivatives of 5-phenyl-5H-imidazo[1,2-a][3,1]benzothiazine-2-carboxylic acid, ethyl ester ( 4 ), imidazo[2,1-c][1,2,4]benzotriazine-2-carboxylic acid, ethyl ester ( 5 ) and 4H-imidazo[2,3-c]pyrido-[2,3-e][1,4]oxazine ( 6 ) were prepared.     

Synthesis of 2,3-dihydro-5H-oxazolo[2,3-B]quinazolin-5-ones

Iodide-catalyzed ring expansion of 2-[(1-aziridinylcarbonyl)amino]benzoic acid methyl ester (2) gave 2,3-dihydro-5H-oxazolo[2,3-b]quinazolin-5-one (3) in quantitative yield. Treatment of the dimethyl analog of 2 (9) with sodium iodide in acetone gave a mixture of the 2,3-dihydro-2,2-dimethyl- (10) and 2,3-dihydro-3,3-dimethyl-5H-oxazolo[2,3-b]quinazolin-5-ones (11). However, rearrangement of 9 with sulfuric acid produced only 10. Synthesis of 11 by another route for comparison is described, and the known syntheses of 2,3-dihydro-5H-oxazolo[2,3-b]quinazolin-5-ones are reviewed.     

Syntheses of 6-Amino-1-(β-D-ribofuranosyl)-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-d]-1,3-oxazin-4-one,an isostere of oxanosine,and the guanosine analog 6-amino-1-(β-d-ribofuranosyl)-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-4(5H)-one via ring closure of pyrazole-5-thioureido intermediates

6-Amino-1-(β-D-ribofuranosyl)-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-d]-1,3-oxazin-4-one ( 4 ), an isostere of the nucleoside antibiotic oxanosine has been synthesized from ethyl 5-amino-1-(2,3-O-isopropylidene-β-D-ribofuranosyl)pyrazole-4-carboxylate ( 6 ). Treatment of 6 with ethoxycarbonyl isothiocyanate in acetone gave the 5-thioureido derivative 7 , which on methylation with methyl iodide afforded ethyl 1-(2,3-O-isopropylidene-β-D-ribofuranosyl)-5-[(N'-ethoxycarbonyl-S-methylisothiocarbamoyl)amino]pyrazole-4-carboxylate ( 8 ). Ring closure of 8 under alkaline media furnished 6-amino-1-(2,3-O-isopropylidene-β-D-ribofuranosyl)-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-d]-1,3-oxazin-4-one ( 10 ), which on deisopropylidenation afforded 4 in good yield. 6-Amino-1-(β-D-ribofuranosyl)-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-4(5H)-one ( 5 ) has also been synthesized from the AICA riboside congener 5-amino-1-(2,3-O-isopropylidene-β-D-ribofuranosyl)pyrazole-4-carboxamide ( 12 ). Treatment of 12 with benzoyl isothiocyanate, and subsequent methylation of the reaction product with methyl iodide gave 1-(2,3-O-isopropylidene-β-D-ribofuranosyl)-5-[(N'-benzoyl-S-methylisothiocarbamoyl)amino]pyrazole-4-carboxamide ( 15 ). Base mediated cyclization of 15 gave 6-amino-1-(2,3-O-isopropylidene-β-D-ribofuranosyl)-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-4(5H)-one ( 14 ). Deisopropylidenation of 14 with aqueous trifluoroacetic acid afforded 5 in good yield. Compound 4 was devoid of any significant antiviral or antitumor activity in culture.

The hydroxy group of the pyrrolo-[2,3-d]pyrimidines could be methylated, acetylated and tosylated. Hydrolysis of 5-methoxy-7-methyl-2-phenyl-7H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidine-6-carbonitrile (IX) afforded the corresponding amide (X).

Condensation of 4-amino-4H-1,2,4-triazole-3-thiol and 4-amino-6-methyl-3-sulfanyl-1,2,4-triazin-5(4H)-one with ethyl cyanoacetate gave ethyl [1,2,4]triazolo[3,4-b][1,3,4]thiadiazol-6-ylacetate and ethyl 3-methyl-4-oxo-4H-[1,3,4]thiadiazolo[2,3-c][1,2,4]triazin-7-ylacetate, respectively. Reactions of the condensation products with 1,3-diphenylprop-2-en-1-one, aromatic aldehydes, and carbon disulfide or N,N-dimethylformamide dimethyl acetal (followed by treatment with hydrazine hydrate) gave the corresponding 6-hetaryl-[1,2,4]triazolo[3,4-b][1,3,4]thiadiazoles and 7-hetaryl-3-methyl-4H-[1,3,4]thiadiazolo[2,3-c][1,2,4]triazin-4-ones.

Synthesis and reactions of “biginelli-compounds”. Part I

Various reactions of 2-oxo(or thioxo)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyrimidine-5-carboxylic acid derivatives (Biginelli-compounds) were investigated. The site of methylation and acylation on 6-methyl-4-phenyl-2-thioxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyrimidine-5-carboxylic acid ethyl ester 1a and its 2-oxo derivative 9a was studied. The synthesis of pyrimido[2,3-b]thiazines and thiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidines was accomplished by condensation of 1a with 1,3-and 1,2-dielectrophiles. A Dimroth-like rearrangement yielding 6H-1,3-thiazines can be observed when 1a was treated with dimethylformamide and phosphorus oxychloride. The formation of indeno[1,2-d]pyrimidines can be achieved by intramolecular Friedl-Crafts acylation of 9a and 13 , respectively. Finally a route for the preparation of 4,6-disubstituted-pyrimidine-5-carbonitriles is presented, starting with Biginelli-compound 25 .     

A new base-induced ring transformation of pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidines

8-Substituted 5,8-dihydro-5-oxopyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidine-6-carboxylates ( 3 ) rearranged to 8-substituted 7,8-dihydro-5-hydroxy-7-oxopyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidine-6-carboxaldehydes ( 5 ) when treated with sodium ethoxide in an aprotic polar solvent at room temperature. The 6-cyano analogue ( 18 ) also underwent ring transformation under the same mild conditions giving 7-amino-8-ethyl-5,8-dihydro-5-oxopyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidine-6-carboxaldehyde ( 21 ). However, the ring transformations of the pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidine bearing no N₈-substituent ( 12 ), ethyl 1-ethyl-1,4-dihydro-4-oxo-1,8-naphthyridine- ( 14 ) and -quinoline-3-carboxylates ( 16 ) failed to occur. A mechanism is discussed.     

Reactions of anthranilamide with isocyanates: A new facile synthesis of 2,3-dihydro-5H-oxazolo[2,3-b]quinazolin-5-one and 3,4-dihydro-2H,6H-[1,3]oxazino[2,3-b]quinazolin-6-one [1]

2,3-Dihydro-5H-oxazolo[2,3-b]quinazolin-5-one 5a was synthesized from anthranilamide 1 and 2-chloro-ethyl isocyanate either by a direct reflux in methanol, or by stirring at room temperature in acetonitrile leading to the intermediate, 2-(2-chloroethyl ureido)benzamide 6a which was subsequently cyclized on heating with an organic base. However, when compound 6a was refluxed with concentrated hydrochloric acid, it furnished 3-(2-chloroethyl)-2,4-dioxo-1H,3H-quinazoline 2a in good yields. 3,4-Dihydro-2H,6.H-[1,3]-oxazino[2,3-b]quinazolin-6-one 5b , 3-(3-chloropropyl)-2,4-dioxo-1H,3.H-quinazoline 2b and 2-(3-chloropropyl ureido)benzamide 6b were obtained similarly from 1 and 3-chloropropyl isocyanate.     

Reaction of ketenes with N,N-disubstituted α-aminomethyleneketones. XX. Synthesis of 2H-pyrano[2,3-f]quinazoline derivatives

The polar 1,4-cycloaddition of dichloroketene to N,N-disubstituted (E)-6-aminomethylene-7,8-dihydro-(2-methyl)(2-phenyl)quinazolin-5(6H)-ones III , prepared in good yields from 7,8-dihydro-(2-methyl)-(2-phenyl)quinazolin-5(6H)-ones via their 6-hydroxymethylene derivatives I and II , gave in satisfactory to excellent yields N-N-disubstituted 4-amino-3,3-dichloro-3,4,5,6-tetrahydro-(8-methyl)(8-phenyl)-2H-pyrano- [2,3,-f]quinazolin-2-ones IV , which are derivatives of the new heterocyclic system pyrano[2,3-f]quinazoline. This cycloaddition occurred both in the case of aliphatic and aromatic N-substitution only with 2-phenyl-enaminones III , whereas with 2-methyl derivatives III the reaction took place only in the case of aromatic N-monosubstitution. Dehydrochlorination of IV with DBN afforded, generally in excellent yields, N,N-disubstituted 4-amino-3-chloro-5,6-dihydro-(8-methyl)(8-phenyl)-2H-pyrano[2,3-y]quinazolin-2-ones, which were dehydrogenated with DDQ to give N,N-disubstituted 4-amino-3-chloro-(8-methyl)(8-phenyl)-2H-pyrano[2,3-f]quinazolin-2-ones in excellent yields.     

Reactions of derivatives of anthranilic acid with 3-chloropropyl isocyanate

The urea 1 obtained from anthranilonitrile and 3-chloropropyl isocyanate is converted into 3-(3-chloropropyl)-2,4(1H,3H)quinazolinedione ( 4 ) when heated with hydrochloric acid, whereas it undergoes a double cyclization to form 2,3,4,7-tetrahydro-6H-pyrimido[1,2-c]quinazolin-6-one ( 3 ) upon heating, or treatment with ammonia. On the other hand, the urea 5 formed from methyl anthranilate and 3-chloropropyl isocyanate cyclizes in three different ways, when treated with ammonia, potassium bicarbonate, or concentrated sulfuric acid, to yield compound 4 , 3,4-dihydro-2H,6H-[1,3]oxazino[2,3-b]quinazolin-6-one ( 9 ), or 2-[(3-chloropropyl)amino]-4H-3,1-benzoxazin-4-one ( 6 ), respectively. Acid-catalyzed reactions of compound 9 with nucleophilic reagents proceed with opening of the oxazine ring and readily yield various 3-substituted 2,4(1H,3H)-quinazolinediones.
