Conversion of 6-phenylimino-2H-thiopyran-4-amines to 1-phenyl-2,3-dihydro-4(1H)-pyridinones

Summary 6-Phenylimino-3,6-dihydro-2H-thiopyran-4-amines (1) were converted to 1-phenyl-5,6-dihydropyridine-2(1H)-thiones (3). Those were akylated and hydrolyzed, thus yielding 6-methylthio-1-phenyl-2,3-dihydro-4(1H)-pyridinones (5). Finally, the methylthio group was removed withRaney nickel giving the title compounds6. The relative configurations of the formed diastereoisomeric dihydropyridinones have been investigated by NOE measurements.

Preparation of Resin-Bound Bismethylene Cyclic Malonic Acid Ester and Facile Solid-Phase Synthesis of 2-Alkylthio-4(1H)-quinolone and 2-Alkyl-4(1H)-quinolone

Abstract

The resin-bound bismethylthiomethylene cyclic malonic acid ester 3 was built up efficiently. Resin 3 can react with arylamines and subsequent thermal cyclizations give 2-alkylthio-4-(1H)-quinolones. Furthermore, conjugate addition of Grignard reagents to the resin 3 forms the resin 6 which was reacted with aryl amines and subsequent thermal-cyclization-cleavages afford the 2-alkyl-4-(1H)-quinolones.

The reactions of 2-(1-hydropolyfluoro-1-alkenyl)-4H-3,1-benzoxin-4-ones (2) with hydrazine hydrate and phenyl hydrazine were investigated.
