Synthesis of Monooximes of 3,3-Dialkyl-3,4-dihydro-1-isoquinolyl Aryl Ketones and Diketones

1-Aroylmethyl-3,3-dialkyl-3,4-dihydroisoquinolines were synthesized by the Ritter reaction. The nitrosylation of these isoquinoline derivatives proceeds smoothly at the -enamine carbon atom to give monooximes of 3,3-dialkyl-3,4-dihydro-1-isoquinolyl aryl diketones. Loss of an acetyl group occurs in the nitrosylation of 1-(-acetylbenzyl)-3,3-dimethyl-3,4-dihydroisoquinoline.

Oxiranes in the Ritter Reaction. Synthesis of 6,7- and 5,8-Dimethoxy-3,3-dialkyl-3,4-dihydroisoquinolines by a Tandem Alkylation-Cyclization Reaction

The interaction of 1,2- or 1,4-dimethoxybenzene with isobutylene oxide and nitriles RCN leads to 1-R-6,7- or 1-R-5,8-dimethoxy-3,3-dimethyl-3,4-dihydroisoquinolines. In the case of 1,2-dimethoxybenzene and cyclohexene oxide the similar reaction is accompanied by rearrangement and 1-R-3,3-tetramethylene-3,4-dihydroisoquinolines are formed in low yield. On using cyanoacetic acid ester and any oxide derivatives of tetrahydroisoquinolylideneacetic acid are formed.     

Synthesis of 3,4-Dihydrobenzo[h]isoquinoline Derivatives

1-Substituted 3,3,4-trimethyl-3,4-dihydrobenzo[h]isoquinolines have been obtained by the reaction of 1,2-dimethyl-1-(2-naphthyl)-1-propanol with nitriles in conc. H₂SO₄. It was shown that the presence of a benzene ring annelated at positions 7 and 8 of the isoquinoline does not influence reaction of the 1-methyl derivative with isocyanate, however reactions of the 1-methylthio derivative with C and N nucleophiles are affected significantly.

Spirocyclohexadienones. 5. Synthesis of 2-R-7a-methyl-3-(spirocyclohexa-2,5-dien-4-one)perhydro-1-indolines

2-R-7a-Methyl-3-(spirocyclohexa-2,5-dien-4-one)perhydro-1-indolines were obtained by the reactions of 1-(4-ethoxyphenyl)-2-methylcyclohexanol with nitriles (RCN) in dichloromethane in the presence of concentrated sulfuric acid.     

Spirocyclohexadienones. 4. Synthesis and dienone-phenolic rearrangement of 1-R-3,3-dialkyl-2-azaspiro[4.5]deca-1,6,9-trien-8-ones

The reactions of 1-(p-methoxyphenyl)-2-methylpropan-1-ol or -cyclohexyl-p-methoxybenzyl alcohol with nitriles RCN in concentrated sulfuric acid afforded 1-R-3,3-dialkyl-2-azaspiro[4.5]deca-1,6,9-trien-8-ones. The stability of the latter toward the dienone-phenolic rearrangement depends on the nature of the substituent R. The reaction mechanism was studied by the semiempirical quantum-chemical AM1 method.

Reactions of 1,2,3- or 1,2,4-trimethylbenzene with isobutyraldehyde and ethyl cyanoacetate (ECA) or reactions of the corresponding 1-aryl-2-methylpropan-1-ols with ECA afforded isomeric 3,3,5,6,7-, 3,3,6,7,8-, 3,3,5,7,8-, and 3,3,5,6,8-pentamethyl-3,4-dihydroisoquinolines. Isomerization is explained as the ring opening of a spiran intermediate in two possible ways followed by the Jacobsen rearrangement.

Michael addition of malononitrile to indenones: Synthesis and characterization of 2-(1-oxo-2,3-dihydro-1H-inden-2-yl) (aryl)(methyl)malononitrile derivatives

Indanones 3 were prepared from the reaction of indanone (1) with corresponding benzaldehyde derivatives 2, as described in the literature. Then, indenones 3 were subjected to KOtBu-catalyzed Michael addition with malononitrile to give a mixture of diastereomers 5 with a low conversion and no diastereoselection. Utilization of phase-transfer catalyst such as benzyltriethylammonium chloride or N-benzylcinchonidinium chloride had a positive effect on both conversion and diastereoselection. The structure of diastereomers 5 was determined by spectroscopic methods (NMR, IR).     

Synthesis,antibacterial and anti-inflammatory activity of bis(indolyl)methanes

A series of bioactive bis(indolyl)methanes are synthesized by one-pot green reaction of indole with various substituted aldehydes by microwave irradiation under solvent free conditions. The antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus and anti-inflammatory activity of the synthesized bis(indolyl)-methanes are evaluated in vitro and compared to standard drugs tetracycline and diclofenac, respectively. The majority of the compounds showed good antibacterial and anti-inflammatory activity. Interestingly, compounds 3j, 3i, 3k and 3g exhibited much higher anti-inflammatory activity than the standard diclofenac drug and thus qualify for clinical trials to be used as an anti-inflammatory compound.
