Heterocyclic analogs of 5,12-naphthacenequinone 7*. Synthesis of naphtho-[2,3-f]isatin-5,10-dione derivatives

On chlorination of 4,11-dimethoxynaphtho[2,3-f]indole-5,10-dione with sulfuryl chloride in chloroform, its mono-, di-, and trichloro derivatives are formed depending on the conditions. Hydrolysis of the di- and trichloro derivatives gives a new polycondensed derivative of isatin, 4,11-dimethoxynaphtho-[2,3-f]isatin-5,10-dione. Its demethylation occurs effectively on extended heating with HBr in acetic acid and leads to 4,11-dihydroxynaphtho[2,3-f]isatin-5,10-dione (4,11-di-hydroxynaphtho[2,3-f]indole-2,3,5,10-tetraone). *For Communication 6 see [1].

Synthesis of thiopheno-quinizarine derivatives

4,11-Dihydroxyanthra[2,3-b]thiophene-5,10-dione (thiophenoquinizarine) and its 3-methyl derivative were obtained by the cyclization of quinizarin-2-yl derivatives of mercaptoacetaldehyde or mercaptoacetone in acid medium. 4,11-Dimethoxy-and 4,11-dibutoxyanthra[2,3-b]thiophene-5,10-dione were synthesized by the alkylation of the hydroxyl group in the synthesized anthrathiophenes with dimethylformamide dimethylacetal or butyl iodide respectively. Radical bromination of 4,11-dimethoxy-3-methylanthra[2,3-b]thiophene-5,10-dione, depending on the amount of N-bromo-succinimide taken, leads to the formation of 3-bromomethyl-or 3-dibromomethyl-4,11-dimethoxy-anthra[2,3-b]thiophene-5,10-diones. The action of sodium acetate on the obtained bromo derivatives with subsequent hydrolysis of the intermediate acetates led to the synthesis of 3-hydroxymethyl-or 3-formyl-4,11-dimethoxy-anthra[2,3-b]thiophene-5,10-diones. __________ Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 10, pp. 1478–1485, October, 2007.
