Synthesis of Benzofuro-and Benzothieno-Phenanthridones by Twofold Photochemical Dehydrocyclization Reaction

Four new N-(p-chlorophenyl) carboxamides 1–4 of 9-phenanthrene-, 5-naphtho[2, 1-b] furan-, and 5-naphtho-and 4-naphtho[2, 1-b] thiophenecarboxylic acids have been synthesized. All carboxanilides were exposed to UV oxidative irradiation in methanolic solution. In the case of 2 and 3 corresponding benzo[d]-furo[3, 2-f] phenanthridin-10 (9H)-one 5 and benzo [d]-thieno[3, 2-f] phenanthridin-10 (9H)-one 6 are isolated.     

Synthesis and cytotoxic activity of benzopyranoxanthone analogues of benz.

Condensation of 3-hydroxy-2-naphthalenecarboxylic acid with phloroglucinol afforded 1,3-dihydroxy-12H-benzo[b]xanthen-12-one. Construction of an additional dimethylpyran ring onto this skeleton, by alkylation with 3-chloro-3-methyl-1-butyne followed by Claisen rearrangement, gave access to a series of benzo[b]pyrano[2,3-i]xanthen-6-ones and benzo[b]pyrano[3,2-h]xanthen-7-ones related to psorospermine and benzo[b]acronycine. In contrast with what is observed in the pyridoacridone and benzopyridoacridone series, the linear benzo[b]-pyrano[2,3-i]xanthen-6-one derivatives were more potent than their angular benzo[b]pyrano[3,2-h]xanthen-7-one isomers. cis-3,4-Diacetoxy-5-methoxy-2,2-dimethyl-3,4-dihydro-2H,6H-benzo[b]pyrano[2,3-i]xanthen-6-one, the most active among the new compounds, was more potent than acronycine in inhibiting the proliferation of L1210 murine leukemia cells.     

Diazabicycloalkanes with nitrogen atoms in bridgehead positions. 24. Synthesis and reactions of benzo[f]-1,5-diazabicyclo[3.2.2]nonen-3-one

Benzo[f]-1,5-diazabicyclo[3.2.2]nonen-3-one was synthesized by the oxidation of benzo[f]-1,5-diazabicydo[3.2.2]nonen-3-ol by dimethyl sulfoxide in the presence of N,N-dicycohexylcarbodiimide and the reactions of this compound with 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine, phenylmagnesium bromide, and condensation with 4-nitro-benzaldehyde were carried out. It was shown that on heating with hydrobromic acid, benzo[f]-1,5-diazabicyclo[3.2.2]nonen-3-one undergoes dealkylation with the formation of 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoxaline.For Communication 23, see [1].Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 8, pp. 1117–1120, August, 1991.     

Benzenoid-quinoid tautomerism of azomethines and their structural analogs. 41. Photo- and thermochromic transformations of acylated N-alkylimines of 3-hydroxybenzo[b]thiophene-2-carbaldehyde and 3-hydroxy-1-methylindole-2-carbaldehyde

O- and N-Acylated alkylimines of 3-hydroxybenzo[b]thiophene-2-carbaldehyde and 3-hydroxy-1-methylindole-2-carbaldehyde were synthesized. Their Z E isomerizations and NO-acyl photo- and thermotransformations were investigated by means of electronic and IR spectroscopy. On irradiation N-acyl-N-methyl(or benzyl)amino-methylene derivatives of benzo[b]thiophen-3-one and 1-methylindol-3-one undergo only Z E isomerization. The introduction of bulkier alkyl substituants (isopropyl, cyclohexyl) relative to the amino nitrogen atom increases the stability of the O-acyl isomers and their conjugate acids and leads to irreversible photoinitiated or acid-catalyzed N O-acyl rearrangements. Exclusively the O-acyl isomer is realized for compounds with the most bulky N-tert-butyl substituent.See [1] for Communication 40.Translated from Khimika Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 4, pp. 466–471, April, 1988.     

Condensed pyridine bases synthesis of some benzo[b]furo[2,3-c]-, benzo[b]- thieno[2,3-c]-, and benzo[b]selenopheno[2,3-c]-quinolines

Summary Condensation of benzo[b]furan-3(2H-one, benzo[b]thiophen-3(2H)-one and benzo[b]selenophen-3(2H)-one with dimedone gives 2-(3-heteryl)dimedones. Acylation of the latter leads to the corresponding tetracyclic pyrylium salts, from which condensed quinolines are obtained. Some condensed quinoline derivatives are obtained by reaction of 1-oxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroheterene[2,3-c]quinolines with sodium borohydride, hydrazine, and hydroxylamine.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 3, pp. 321–326, March, 1994.     

Synthesis of nitrogen-containing heterocycles on the basis of 3-(4-acetylphenyl)-1-methylquinolin-2(1<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>)-one

The Meerwein reaction of 1-methylquinolin-2(1H)-one with 4-acetylbenzenediazonium chloride gave 3-(4-acetylphenyl)-1-methylquinolin-2(1H)-one which was brominated to 3-[4-(2-bromoacetyl)phenyl]-1-methylquinolin-2(1H)-one. The latter reacted with pyridine, 4-methylpyridine, quinoline, benzo[f]quinoline, and triphenylphosphine to afford the corresponding quaternary salts, and its reactions with thioacetamide, thiourea, 2-aminopyridine, and 2-aminopyrimidine led to the corresponding thiazole, imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine, and imidazo[1,2-a]pyrimidine derivatives containing a 2-oxoquinoline fragment. 3-(4-{2-[2-(Arylmethylidene)-hydrazinyl]-1,3-thiazol-4-yl}phenyl)-1-methylquinolin-2(1H)-ones were obtained by condensation of 3-[4-(2-bromoacetyl)phenyl]-1-methylquinolin-2(1H)-one with thiosemicarbazide and aromatic aldehydes.

Ethyl 4′-amino-5′,8′-dimethyl-1′H-spiro[cyclopentane-1,2′-naphthalene]-3′-carboxylate reacted with allyl isothiocyanate to give 3-allyl-7,10-dimethyl-2-sulfanylidene-2,3,5,6-tetrahydrospiro[benzo[h]quinazoline- 5,1′-cyclopentan]-4(1H)-one. Reactions of the latter with alkyl halides and hydrazine hydrate and subsequent transformations of the products afforded a series of new benzo[h]quinazoline derivatives containing an allyl group in the 3-position.     

Some Transformations of 2-(Chloromethyl)-5,5-dimethyl-5,6-dihydrobenzo[<Emphasis Type="Italic">h</Emphasis>]quinazolin-4(3<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>)-one

The condensation of 1-amino-3,3-dimethyl-3,4-dihydronaphthalene-2-carbonitrile with chloroacetyl chloride afforded chloro-N-(2-cyano-3,3-dimethyl-3,4-dihydronaphthalen-1-yl)acetamide which underwent cyclization to 2-(chloromethyl)-5,5-dimethyl-5,6-dihydrobenzo[h]quinazolin-4(3H)-one. The latter reacted with various nucleophiles (alkali metal alkoxides, piperazine, 2-sulfanylethanol) to give 2-(alkoxymethyl)-, 2-(piperazin-1-ylmethyl)-, and 2-{[(2-hydroxyethyl)sulfanyl]methyl}-5,5-dimethyl-5,6-dihydrobenzo[h]quinazolin- 4(3H)-ones. The condensation of 2-(chloromethyl)benzo[h]quinazoline with 2-thioxo derivatives of quinazoline and benzo[h]quinazolines led to the formation of bis-quinazolines in which 5,5-dimethyl-5,6- dihydrobenzo[h]quinazolin-4(3H)-one fragment is linked to quinazoline or benzo[h]quinazoline system through a CH₂S bridge.     

Synthesis of the precursors of bis(trichloro-1,4-benzoquinonyl)tetrathiafulvalenes

In reaction with potassium butylxanthate and sodium tert-butyltrithionate, 2,5-dihydroxy-3,4,6,7-tetrachloro-2,3-dihydrobenzo[b]furan forms the products from nucleophilic substitution of a chlorine atom, i.e., O-butyl S-(2,5-dihydroxy-4,6,7-trichloro-2,3-dihydrobenzo[b]furan-3-yl) xanthate and S-tert-butyl S-(2,5-dihydroxy-4,6,7-trichloro-2,3-dihydrobenzo[b]furan-3-yl) trithiocarbonate respectively. Recyclization of the xanthate in concentrated sulfuric acid gave 4-(2,5-dihydroxy-3,4,6-trichlorophenyl)-1,3-dithiol-2-one, which was oxidized by iron trichloride to the corresponding benzoquinone. Cyclization of the trithiocarbonate in the presence of trifluoroacetic and p-toluenesulfonic acid led to 7-hydroxy-5,6,8-trichloro-3a,8b-dithiolo[4,5-b]benzo[d]furan-2-thione.Dedicated to Prof. A.

Diazabicycloalkanes with nitrogen atoms in bridgehead positions. 25. Influence of 3′-substituents on the direction of hydroxyethylation of benzo[b]-1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octenes

Substituents in the 3 and 6-positions of benzo[b]-1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane are capable of influencing the reactivity of the nitrogen atoms in the hydroxyethylation reaction due to steric hindrances or anchimeric contribution. Depending on the reaction conditions and substituents in the aromatic ring of benzo[b]-1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2]octane, either mono- or bis-quaternary salts were obtained.For Communication 24, see [1].Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 2, pp. 215–218, February, 1992.

Chemical Modulation of the 1-(Piperidin-4-yl)-1,3-dihydro-2H-benzo[d]imidazole-2-one Scaffold as a Novel NLRP3 Inhibitor

In the search for new chemical scaffolds able to afford NLRP3 inflammasome inhibitors, we used a pharmacophore-hybridization strategy by combining the structure of the acrylic acid derivative INF39 with the 1-(piperidin-4-yl)1,3-dihydro-2H-benzo[d]imidazole-2-one substructure present in {"type":"entrez-nucleotide","attrs":{"text":"HS203873","term_id":"313347069"}}HS203873, a recently identified NLRP3 binder. A series of differently modulated benzo[d]imidazole-2-one derivatives were designed and synthesised. The obtained compounds were screened in vitro to test their ability to inhibit NLRP3-dependent pyroptosis and IL-1β release in PMA-differentiated THP-1 cells stimulated with LPS/ATP. The selected compounds were evaluated for their ability to reduce the ATPase activity of human recombinant NLRP3 using a newly developed assay. From this screening, compounds 9, 13 and 18, able to concentration-dependently inhibit IL-1β release in LPS/ATP-stimulated human macrophages, emerged as the most promising NLRP3 inhibitors of the series. Computational simulations were applied for building the first complete model of the NLRP3 inactive state and for identifying possible binding sites available to the tested compounds. The analyses led us to suggest a mechanism of protein–ligand binding that might explain the activity of the compounds.     

Synthesis of diverse benzo[1,4]oxazin-3-one-based compounds using 1,5-difluoro-2,4-dinitrobenzene

This paper discusses the synthesis of benzo[1,4]oxazin-3-one-based compounds from 1,5-difluoro-2,4-dinitrobenzene (1), including benzo[1,4]oxazin-3-ones (5-11) and five novel benzo[1,4]oxazin-3-one-based tricycles: 6-hydroxy-4H-1-oxa-4,5,8-triazaanthracen-3-one (14), 3,8-dihydro-5-oxa-1,3,8-triazacyclopenta-[b]-naphthalene-7-one (15, 17, 21), 3,8-dihydro-5-oxa-1,2,3,8-tetraazacylopenta[b]-naphthalene-7-one (16, 20), 3,8-dihydro-1H-5-oxa-1,3,8-triazacyclopenta[b]-naphthalene-2,7-dione (18, 22), and 5,8-dihydro-4H-1-oxa-4,5,8-triazaanthracene-3,6,7-trione (19). Finally, a chemical library based on 15 was synthesized in parallel solution-phase reactions.     

New example of the dimroth rearrangement. Intramolecular cyclization of acyl derivatives of anthranilic acid nitrile

A new example of the Dimroth rearrangement in which 4-amino-1H-quinazolin-2-one 3(N)-oxide undergoes isomerization to 4-oximino-1H, 3H-quinazolin-2-one was observed. It is shown that the thermal cyclization of N-(2-amidoximophenyl)ureas and carbamates leads to the production of 4-amino-1H-quinazolin-2-one 3(N)-oxides, while their O-carbamoyl derivatives give 4-oximino-1H, 3H-quinazolin-2-one and 5-oxo-²-1,2,4-oxadiazolino[c3,4]-1H,3H-quinazolin-2-one.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 9, pp. 1264–1266, September, 1981.     

Synthesis of novel coumarin and benzocoumarin derivatives and their biological and photophysical studies

Several derivatives of coumarin‐3N‐carboxamides ( 3‐21 ) have been prepared via the reaction of the coumarin‐3‐carbonyl chloride ( 1 ) with a number of nucleophiles. Novel double‐headed coumarin‐3N‐carboxamides ( 26‐33 ) were also produced using the same method. The Pechmann‐Duisberg reaction was applied to prepare new benzo[f]‐ benzo[h]coumarins and 4‐(chloromethyl)‐pyrano[3,2‐c]coumarin‐2‐one ( 36‐42 ). The reaction of 1‐chloromethylbenzo[f]coumarins ( 36 ) with cyanide anion under different reaction conditions was also investigated in order to assess its suitability for nucleophilic substitution reactions as well as ring transformation products ( 43‐49 ). Synthesis of 1‐((benzo[d]thiazol‐2‐yl)methyl)‐9‐hydroxybenzo[ f ]coumarin ( 50 ) represented the first example of methylene bridge‐head heterocyclecontaining benzo[f]coumarin. Some of the newly prepared coumarins exhibited anti‐bacterial activity against Gram Positive and Gram negative bacteria. Compound 36d was found to be active against all the screened bacteria. Photophysical studies were performed on selected fluorescent benzo[f]‐ and benzo[h]coumarin and the quantum yields were also calculated. All new compounds were characterized by IR, MS, ¹H and ¹³C NMR, as well as elemental analysis.     

Acylation and Cyclodehydration of Benzofuran-, Benzothiophene-, and Indolyl-3-acetic Acid Arylamides. Synthesis of Novel Benzofuro[2,3-c]-, Benzothieno[2,3-c], and Indolo[2,3-c]pyrilium and Pyridine Derivatives

The acylation of benzo[b]furan-, benzo[b]thiophene, and indolyl-3-acetic acid arylamides using acetic anhydride in the presence of 70% perchloric acid occurs at the -position of the heterocycle to give 2-acetylbenzo[b]furan-, 2-acetylbenzo[b]thiophene, and 2-acetylindolyl-3-acetic acid arylamides. Depending on the amount of perchloric used in the reaction they undergo cyclodehydration to 3-arylamino-1-methylhetero[2,3-c]pyrilium salts and to N-aryl-1-methyl-3(2H)hetero[2,3-c]pyridones.

Reaction of 1-acetyl-4-(2,4-difluorobenzo-yl)piperidine 2 with methyl glycolate gave methyl 6-fluoro-3-(1-acetylpiperidin-4-yl)benzo[b]furan-2-carboxylate 3 , which was converted to 2-[2-[4-(benzo[b]furan-3-yi)piperidin-1-yl]ethyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-1,2,4-triazolo-[4,3-a]pyridin-3(2H)-one hydrochloride 9 . Analogous benzo[b]furans 17a-d and benzo[b]thiophenes 10a,b and 18a were prepared by a similar method.

Reaction of benzo[b]quinuclidine with electrophilic reagents

Bromination of benzo[b]quinuclidine yields its perbromide and a molecular complex with bromine, while nitration and chlorosulfonation form 7-nitro- and 7-chlorosulfobenzo[b]-quinuclidines. The results of electrophilic substitution attest to the absence in benzo[b]-quinuclidine of a mesomeric interaction between the free electron pair of nitrogen and the electrons of the benzene ring.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 3, pp. 385–388, March, 1971.
