Synthesis of 3-phenyl-2H-1,4-benzoxazin-2-one. Revision of some structural assignments

The reported synthesis of 3-phcnyl-2H-1,4-benzoxazin-2-one (II) via brominution of o-acel-amidophenyl phcnaeyl ether (Scheme) leads in lael to the 7-bromo-3-phenyl-2H-1,4-benzoxazin-2-ol (VIII). The structure of the other synthetic intermediates is also revised and a one-step synthesis of the lactone II is reported hy condensation of methyl phenylglyoxalale and o-amino-phenol.     

A new synthesis of 3-hydroxy-2,3-dihydro-1,4-benzodioxin-2-carboxamides and 3-aminomethylene-1,4-benzodioxin-2(3H)-one derivatives

The 1,4-benzodioxin-2-carboxylic esters or carboxamides react with nucleophilic amines to give access to 3-hydroxy-2,3-dihydro-1,4-benzodioxin-2-carboxamides and 3-aminomethyn-1,4-benzodioxin-2(3H)-one precursors of potential therapeutical compounds. The basic environment (K₂CO₃ or amine) facilitates the process.     

Synthesis of 2H-1,4-thiazin-3(4H)-one 1-oxide and 2H-1,4-thiazin-3-(4H)-one 1,1-dioxide,structural analogs of uracil

The synthesis of 1,4-thiazine 1-oxide and 1,1-dioxide analogs of the antibiotic emimycin is described. Reaction of methylthioglycolate with 1-bromo-2,2-diethoxyethane gave methyl (2,2-diethoxyethylthio)acetate ( 2 ). Treatment of 2 with methanolic ammonia followed by cyclization furnished 2H-1,4-thiazin-3(4H)-one ( 5 ). Oxidation of 5 with m-chloroperoxybenzoic acid converted it to 2H-1,4-thiazin-3(4H)-one 1-oxide ( 6 ). Oxidation of 2 with potassium permanganate, followed by treatment with methanolic ammonia, and cyclization gave 2H-1,4-thiazin-3(4H)-one 1,1-dioxide.     

Syntheses for 2-amino and 2-mercapto-2H-1,4-benzoxazin-3(4H)-one and 2H-1,4-benzothiazin-3(4H)-one as aza and thio analogues of the natural product blepharigenin

2-Amino-2H-1,4-benzoxazin-3(4H)-one 3 , 2-amino-2H-1,4-benzothiazin-3(4H)-one 4 , 2-mercapto-2H-1,4-benzoxazin-3(4H)-one 7 , and 2-mercapto-2H-1,4-benzothiazin-3(4H)-one 8 representing aza and thio analogues of the natural product's aglucone Blepharigenin (2-hydroxy-2H-1,4-benzoxazin-3(4H)-one) from Gramineae and Acantnaceae species have been synthesized for the first time from their 2-bromo precursors 1 and 2 . Attempts to similarly prepare the 4-hydroxy derivatives of 7 and 8 , which would represent new thio analogues of the naturally occurring cyclic hydroxamic acid, 2,4-dihydroxy-2H-1,4-benzoxazin-3(4H)-one, have failed.     

A study of some quinolizone derivatives

The condensation of methyl 2-pyridylacetate and ethyl phenylpropiolate has been found to be a simple and convenient method for the preparation of 4-quinolizone derivatives. Upon hydrolysis and decarboxylation, the initial condensation product, l-carbethoxy-2-phenyl-4H-quinolizin-4-one (V) was converted to 2-phenyl-4H-quinolizin-4-one (VII). Nitration and bromination of these quinolizones were affected under mild conditions. Nitration of V displaced the carbethoxy group, while bromination did not and 1,3-dinitro-4H-quinolizin-4-one and 1-carbeth-oxy-2-phenyl-3-bromo-4H-quinolizin-4-one were obtained, respectively.     

Biomimetic synthesis of 4-acetylbenzoxazolin-2(3H)-one isolated from Zea mays

4-Acetylbenzoxazolin-2(3H)-one has been prepared biomimetically during attempts to synthesize the hemiacetalic hydroxamic acid 5-acetyl-2,4-dihydroxy-2H-1,4-benzoxazin-3(4H)-one by the immediate degradation of this unstable compound generated as an intermediate. Thus, 4-acetylbenzoxazolin-2(3H)-one recently isolated from Zea mays kernels, and similar to other benzoxazolin-2(3H)-ones known from plant sources, is assumed to have originated from the degradation of natural 5-acetyl-2,4-dihydroxy-2H-1,4-benzoxazin-3(4H)-one which in turn could have been enzymatically released by a β-glucosidase from the corresponding 2-β-D-glucoside.     

A new approach to the synthesis of pyridazino[4,5-c]pyridazinones

The reaction of 5-hydrazinopyridazin-3(2H)-ones 1 with α-keto diester 2 in acetic acid afforded the corresponding 4,6-dihydropyridazino[4,5-c]pyridazin-5(1H)-ones 3 and pyrrolo[2,3-d)pyridazin-4(5H)-ones 4 . Compounds 3 were also obtained from 4-bromo-5-hydrazinopyridazin-3(2H)-ones 8 and 2 under milder conditions. 5-Bromo-4-hydrazinopyridazin-3(2H)-one 9 , the regioisomer of 8b , also reacted readily with 2a to give 4,7-dihydropyridazino[4,5-c]pyridazin-8(1H)-one 10b , the regioisomer of 3b .

From a study of their NMR spectra the configurations of these compounds have been assigned and the conformation of the perhydro-1, 4-oxazinone moiety shown to be that with the ring oxygen atom and the angular hydrogen on the same side of the plane defined by C3? C(O)? N. The synthesis and NMR spectra of hexahydro-2H-pyrido [1,2-d][1,4]oxazepin-5(4H)-one, 1,6,11,11a-tetrahydro [1,4]-oxazino [4,3-b]isoquinolin-4(3H)-one and of hexahydropyrido [2,1-c][1,4]thiazin-4(3H)-one are also discussed. cis-6,9a-H-6-Methyl-hexahydropyrido[2,1-c][1,4]oxazin-4(3H)-one is shown to exist in a conformation containing a deformed perhydropyridine ring.     

[3 + 3] Cycloaddition of aza-oxyallyl cations with 1,4-dithiane-2,5-diols for the construction of 3-thiomorpholinones

Abstract

Base-mediated [3?+?3] cycloaddition reaction of in-situ formed aza-oxyallyl cations and 1,4-dithiane-2,5-diols has been achieved under mild reaction conditions. This strategy provides direct and efficient access to prepare desired thiomorpholin-3-one derivatives in moderate-to-high yields. The approach features broad substrates scope and short reaction time. Moreover, the resulting products can be readily converted into other useful heterocyclic compounds including 2H-1,4-thiazin-3(4H)-ones and thiomorpholine-3,5-diones.     

The reaction products of 2H-isoindole-4,7-dione derivatives with 2-aminobenzenethiol

From 2,3,4-Trisubstituted oxazolium-5-oxides and 2-methyl-, 2-phenyl- or 2-bromo-1,4-benzoquinone 1,2,3,5-tetrasubstituted 2H-isoindole-4,7-dione derivatives were prepared. These compounds were condensed with 2-aminobenzenethiol to produce 1,2,3-trisubstituted or 1,2,3,5-tetrasubstituted 4H-pyrrolo[3,4-a]phenothiazin-4-one derivatives. In the case of 1,2,3-trisubstituted 5-methyl-2H-isoindole-4,7-dione 1,2,3,5-tetrasubstituted 7-(2-mercaptophenyl)imino-2H-isoindole-4-one was obtained instead of the expected phenothiazinones.     

Syntheses for 2-hydroxy-2H-1,4-benzothiazin-3(4H)-one derivatives as thio analogues of natural hemiacetals

Reductive cyclizations of methyl 2-(2-nitrophenylthio)acetate 2 by means of electrochemistry or by catalytic hydrogenation have been used as key steps in the syntheses of the hemiacetals 2-hydroxy-2H-1,4-benzothiazin-3(4H)-one 10 and its 4-hydroxy derivative 9 representing thio analogues of allelo chemicals found in Gramineae and Acanthaceae. In contrast to its natural counterpart 2,4-dihydroxy-2H-1,4-benzoxa-zin-3(4H)-one hydroxamic acid 9 did not undergo degradation by extrusion of formic acid.     

First syntheses of natural products with the 2,7-dihydroxy-2H-1,4-benzoxazin-3(4H)-one skeleton

2,7-Dihydroxy-2H-1,4-benzoxazin-3(4H)-one 11 (DHBOA) and 2,4,7-trihydroxy-2H-1,4-benzoxazin-3(4H)-one 14 (TRIBOA) representing aglucones of naturally occurring acetal glucoside type allelo chemicals found in Gramineae have been for the first time synthesized by two pathways both involving selective reductive cyclizations of appropriate 7-benzyloxy-2-nitrophenol derivatives as precursors. TRIBOA 14 and its bioactive naturally occurring 7-methyl ether DIMBOA have been found to undergo a hitherto unknown transformation to the corresponding 2,6-dibromo substituted lactam forms 20 and 21 in the presence of hydrogen bromide in acetic acid, which is of value in a better understanding of the possible mode of bioactivity.     

A facile synthetic approach to novel spiro-oxindoles/acenaphthylen-1-ones containing benzo[1,4]thiazin-3-one ring via 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition

A series of spiro-oxindole derivatives containing spirobenzo[1,4]thiazin-3-one ring were synthesized regioselectively via a multicomponent 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of isatin, 2-(4-methyl-benzylidene)-4H-benzo[1,4]thiazin-3-one and sarcosine or l-proline in toluene under reflux condition. Also spiro-acenaphthylen-1-ones containing spirobenzo[1,4]thiazin-3-one ring have been synthesized using 2-(4-methyl-benzylidene)-4H-benzo[1,4]thiazin-3-one as dipolarophile. The methodology affords high yields of products in short reaction time.     

Reaction of 4,5-diaminopyrimidine and ethyl acetoacetate: Synthesis and chemistry of isomeric dihydropyrimido[4,5-b][1,4] diazepinones

Depending upon reaction conditions, 4,5-diaminopyrimidine and acetoacetic ester gave a variety of condensation products, including the two isomeric dihydropyrimido[4,5-b][1,4]-diazepinones. Under conditions leading to bicyclic products, the formation of 1,5-dihydro-4-methyl-2H-pyrimido[4,5-b][1,4]diazepin-2-one ( 2 ) was strongly favored. The isomeric 3,5-dihydro-2-methyl-4H-4-one compound ( 4 ) was best obtained by cyclization of ethyl 3-(4-amino-5-pyrimidylamino)crotonate ( 3 ) under base catalysis. Thermal rearrangement of 2 and 4 proceeded, in each instance, with loss of the isopropenyl moiety and gave 8-purinone. Compound 4 underwent ring contraction under the influence of alkoxide to yield a product which was shown to be the 7-isopropenyl-8-purinone ( 6 ).     

Microwave synthesis,characterization and antimicrobial study of new pyrazolyl-oxopropyl-quinazolin-4(3H)-one derivatives

Heterocyclic compounds containing pyrazolyl-oxopropyl-quinazolin-4(3H)-one are reported to possess significant biological activity. Syntheses of 6-bromo-2-(3-chloro-2-oxopropyl)-3-(4-fluorophenyl)quinazolin-4(3H)-one 2 6-bromo-3-(4-fluorophenyl)-2-(3-hydrazinyl-2-oxopropyl)quinazolin-4(3H)-one 3 and 6-bromo-2-(3-(3-(4-(1-(2-chlorophenyl)-3-methyl-1H-pyrazol-5(4H)-ylideneamino)phenyl)-5-(substituted phenyl)-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)-2-oxopropyl)-3-(4-fluorophenyl)quinazolin-4(3H)-one 5a–j using microwave irradiation have been described. These compounds have been characterized on the basis of the UV, IR, ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, Mass and elemental analysis. Compounds have been evaluated for their antimicrobial activity.     

Behaviour of 5,6-dihydrothieno[2,3-h]cinnolin-3(2H)-one and 5,6-dihydrothieno[3,2-h]cinnolin-3(2H)-one towards hydrazine. Synthesis of thienocinnolinones and of 4-aminothienocinnolinones

The isomeric compounds 5,6-dihydrothieno[2,3-h]cinnolin-3(2H)-one ( 7a ) and 5,6-dihydrothieno-[3,2-h]cinnolin-3(2H)-one ( 7b ) rapidly tautomerise to the corresponding 1,4-dihydrothienocinnolinones 8a,b when kept in refluxing hydrazine hydrate. With longer reaction times the initially formed 8a,b dehydrogenate to the thienocinnolinones 9a,b which eventually are aminated to 4-aminothienocinnolinones 10a,b . This behaviour recalls that reported for the related 5,6-dihydrobenzocinnolin-3(2H)-one ( 1 ) which under the same conditions undergoes dehydrogenation to benzo[h]cinnolin-3(2H)-one ( 2 ) followed by 4-amination to 3 , but differs for the stability of the intermediates, for the mechanism of the final amination, and for the higher reaction rate. All these differences can be rationalised in terms of the heats of formation of the intermediates and products of the two series of transformations.     

Structure of the bromination product of 2-ethyl-1,4-benzothiazin-3(4H)-one

2-Ethyl-1,4-benzothiazin-3(4H)-one and bromine react smoothly to give Z-2-(1-bromoethylidine)-2(H)-1,4-benzothiazin-3(4H)-one, which results from a complex bromination-oxidation sequence. The structure of this product was determined by an X-ray study.     

Quinazolines and 1,4-benzodiazepines. XLVI. Photochemistry of nitrones and oxaziridines

The cyclic nitrones 7-chloro-1,3-dihydro-5-phenyl-2H-1,4-benzodiazepin-2-one 4-oxide ( 5a ) and 1,3-dihydro-7-methylthio-5-phenyl-2H-1,4-benzodiazepin-2-one 4-oxide ( 5b ) are photoisomerized to readily isolable oxaziridines, 7-chloro-4,5-epoxy-5-phenyl-1,3,4–5-tetrahydro-2H-1,4-benzodiazepin-2-one ( 6a ) and 4,5-epoxy-5-phenyl-1,3,4,5-tetrahydro-7-methylthio-2H-1,4-benzo-diazepin-2-one ( 6b ). Oxaziridine 6b upon further irradiation gave ring expansion and ring contraction products, 4,6-dihydro-2-phenyl-9-methylthio-5H-1,3,6-benzoxadiazocin-5-one ( 7b ) and 4-benzoyl-3,4-dihydro-6-methylthioquinoxalin-2(1H)-one ( 8b ) respectively. The ring contraction product, 4-benzoyl-6-chloro-3,4-dihydroquinoxalin-2(1H)-one ( 8a ), was obtained from irradiation of oxaziridine 6a .     

1,4-Benzodiazepines III . Cyclization paths of hexaminium salts of 2-chioroacetamido-5-ehlorobenzophenone and its N-methyl derivative

This study reports the isolation and characterization of hexaminium salts of 2-chloroacetamido-5-chlorobenzophenone (I) and of 2-(N-methyl)chloroacetamido-5-chlorobenzophenone (II). The 7-chloro-1,3-dihydro-5-phenyl-2H-1,4-benzodiazepin-2-one (VI) and 7-chloro-1,3-dihydro-1-meth-yI-5-phenyl-2H-1,4-benzodiazepin-2-one (VII), respectively are of pharmacodynamic importance. Based on chromatographic separation of some intermediates, and on spectrophotometric monitoring of cyclizations I → VI and II → VII, respectively, two different pathways for these reactions have been proposed. Since the slowest step in the reaction sequence II → VII follows the quasi first order rate law, intramolecular nucleophilic attack of the benzophenone carbonyl group on the hexamine moiety proved to be decisive for the cyclization (scheme II). However, cyclization I → VI seems to incorporate quite different solvolytic pathways in addition to one corresponding to the sequence II → VII. Isolated 4-imidazolidinone intermediates N,N' -methylene-bis[3-{2 -benzoyl-4-chIoro)phenyI]-4-imidazolidinone(III), and 3-(2 -benzoyl-4′-chlorophenyI)-4-imidazolidinone hydrochloride (IV) recyclize into the 1,4-benzodiazepine VI. The optimal reaction conditions have been found to be between pH 6-7.     

The base-promoted dehydration of rac.-trans-tetrahydro-6-hydroxy-4-[(2-(dimethylamino)ethyl]-7-(4-methoxyphenyl)-1,4-thiazepin-5(2H)-one

The base-catalyzed alkylation of rac.-trans-tetrahydro-6-hydroxy-7-(4-methoxyphenyl)-1,4-thiazepin-5(2H)-one ( 1 ) with dimethylaminoethyl chloride in dimethyl sulfoxide provided predominantly rac.-trans-tetrahydro-6-hydroxy-4-[(2-dimethylamino)ethyl]-7-(4-methoxyphenyl)-1,4-thiazepin-5(2H)-one ( 2 ) and in addition, 2,3-dihydro-4-[2-(dimethylamino)-ethyl]-7-(4-methoxyphenyl)-1,4-thiazepin-5(4H)-one ( 3 ). A plausible mechanism is postulated for the dehydration of the rac.-trans-amide 2 .
