Condensed isoquinolines. 37.* Heterocyclization using 3-(arylamino)- and 3-(hetarylamino)isoquinolin-1(2H)-ones

The reaction of 3-NHR-isoquinolin-1(2H)-ones (R = Ar) with aromatic aldehydes in the presence of Me3SiCl or in acetic acid leads to the formation of derivatives of dibenzo[b,f][1, 8]naphthyridin-5(6H)- one and benzo[f]isoquino[3,4-b][1, 8]naphthyridine-5,9(6H,7H)-dione. The reaction for R = Het in the presence of Me3SiCl gives derivatives of 5H-pyrido[1',2':1,2]pyrimido[4,5-c]isoquinolin-5-one, benzo[f]isoquinoline[3,4-b][1,8]naphthyridine-5,9[6H,7H]-dione, and derivatives of new heterocyclic systems, 5H-pyrazino[1',2':1,2]pyrimido[4,5-c]isoquinolin-5-one, 5H-[1,3]thiazolo[3',2':1,2]pyrimido- [4,5-c]isoquinolin-5-one, 5-H-benzo[f]pyrazolo[3,4-b][1,8]naphthyridin-5-one, and isoquino[3,4-b]- [1,5]naphthyridin-5(6H)-one.

An efficient approach to isoindolo[2,1-b][2]benzazepines via intramolecular [4+2] cycloaddition of maleic anhydride to 4-α-furyl-4-N-benzylaminobut-1-enes

Acylation of 4-α-furyl-4-N-benzylaminobut-1-enes with maleic anhydride gave 4-oxo-3-aza-10-oxatricyclo[5.2.1.0^1,5]dec-8-ene-6-carboxylic acid via amide formation followed by intramolecular Diels-Alder reaction of furan (IMDAF). The cycloaddition proceeded under mild reaction conditions (25 °C) and provided only the exo-adduct in quantitative yield. Treatment of this compound with PPA gave isoindolo[2,1-b][2]benzazepine derivatives via ring opening, aromatization and intramolecular electrophilic alkylation. In order to extend the scope of the reaction sequence, 7-oxo-5,11b,12,13-tetrahydro-7H-isoindolo[2,1-b][2]benzazepine-8-carboxylic acids were further transformed into useful synthetic intermediates.

A one-pot sequential reaction for efficient synthesis of pyrrolo[2,1-a]isoquinoline and pyrrolo[1,2-a]-quinoline derivatives has been developed. The reaction included firstly the Cu-catalyzed three-component reaction of isoquinoline(quinoline), acetylenedicarboxylate and alkynylbenzene and then Cs₂CO₃-promoted intramolecular cyclization reaction of initially formed 1-alkenyl-2-alkynyl-1,2-dihydroisoquinoline(1,2-dihydroquinoline).     

Electron impact mass spectral fragmentation of 2a,4-disubstituted 2-chloro/2,2-dichloro-2,2a,3,4-tetrahydro-1H-azeto[2,1-d][1,5]benzothia zepin-1-ones

The mass spectrometric behaviour of nine 2a,4-disubstituted 2-chloro/2,2-dichloro-2,2a,3,4-tetrahydro-1H-azeto[2,1-d][1,5]b enzothiazepin-1-ones has been studied with the aid of mass-analysed ion kinetic energy spectrometry and accurate mass measurements under electron impact ionization. All compounds show a tendency to eliminate a neutral chlorine atom, or a chloroketene, or neutral propene, or styrene or substituted styrene molecule, plus Cl and/or H (or Cl) atom(s), to yield [M-Cl]+ ions, 2,3-dihydro-1,5-benzothiazepine derivative ions, 4,5-dihydro-5H-1,5-benzothiazepin-4-one ions which can further lose CO to give 1,4-benzothiazine ions. Both molecular ions and [M-Cl]+ ions show a tendency to eliminate an ethyl or benzyl/substituted benzyl radical to produce 2,2a-dihydro-1H-azeto[2,1-c][1,4]benzothiazin-1-one ions. The [M-Cl]+ ions could undergo rearrangement to yield 2,2a-dihydro-1H-azeto[2,1-d][1,5]benzothiazepin-1-one ions, 2,2a,3,4-tetrahydro-1H-azeto[1,2-a]quinoline ions or 1,1a,2,3-tetrahydro-azirino[2,1-d][1,5]benzothiazepine ions by loss of an ethane or a benzene/substituted benzene, a SH radical or a CO molecule. The molecular ions could also undergo rearrangement reactions to form other small fragment ions.

Synthesis and epimerization of 10-N-(6-deoxy-1,2:3,4-di-O-isopropylidene-α-d-galactopyranos-6-yl)-(11aS)-pyrrolo[2,1-c][1,4]benzodiazepin-5,11-dione

The reaction of the 1,2:3,4-di-O-isopropylidene-6-O-tosyl-α-d-galactopyranose 2 with (11aS)-pyrrolo[2,1-c][1,4]benzodiazepin-5,11-dione 1, prepared from l-proline and isatoic anhydride, gave two products which were previously reported as conformational isomers. In this work, an X-ray crystallographic study showed these to be the diastereomeric pair (11aS)- and (11aR)-10-N-(6-deoxy-1,2:3,4-di-O-isopropylidene-α-d-galactopyranos-6-yl)-pyrrolo[2,1-c][1,4]benzodiazepin-5,11-diones as a consequence of C(11a) epimerization in the benzodiazepine moiety during glycosylation under basic reaction conditions. The hydrosolubility of the deprotected products were compared with those of the analogous benzodiazepine derivatives.

The probes exhibited a longer absorption and emission wavelength and the emission wavelength of them in dichloromethane (DCM) was more than 600 nm, performed a red fluorescence. All of the probes could work on the extreme acidic and the extreme alkaline environments and showed a good liner response in the working pH range. Especially, 2 and 4 were soluble in water and manifested a good pH sensing in a water system. Also, ¹H NMR analysis illustrated how these dyes worked as the pH-sensitive fluorescence probes. In addition, they performed excellent reversibility, high selectivity and good photostability.

The reaction of 2,3-dibromo-1,4-naphthoquinone with 2-aminobenzothiazole under the above-mentioned conditions gave 2-(benzo[d]thiazol-2-ylamino)-3-bromonaphthalene-1,4-dione in 64% yield, which on treatment with Na/THF or NaN₃/acetone under reflux conditions gave naphtho[2',3':4,5]imidazo[2,1-b][1,3]- benzothiazole-7,12-dione in 69 and 56% yields, respectively.     

Blue emitting 3π-2spiro terfluorene-indenofluorene isomers: a structure-properties relationship study

Two novel terfluorenyl derivatives, 2,2',7,7'-tetrakis(9,9-dioctyl-9H-fluoren-2-yl)dispiro[fluorene-9,11'-indeno-(2,1-a)-fluorene-12',9'-fluorene] ((2,1-a)-DST-IF) and 2,2',7,7'-tetrakis(9,9-dioctyl-9H-fluoren-2-yl)dispiro- [fluorene-9,6'-indeno-(1,2-b)-fluorene-12',9'-fluorene] ((1,2-b)-DST-IF) have been synthesized by two different synthetic approaches. These terfluorenyl derivatives possess a different central indenofluorene core, namely (2,1-a)-indenofluorene or (1,2-b)-indenofluorene, which imposes two distinct geometry profiles, and different structural environments for the terfluorenyl fluorophores that translates into drastically different optical and electrochemical properties for (2,1-a)-DST-IF and (1,2-b)-DST-IF. These properties have been carefully studied through a combined experimental and theoretical approach. The (2,1-a)-DST-IF isomer has been successfully used as emitting layer in a blue single-layer small-molecule organic light-emitting diode (SMOLED) and appears as the first example of a blue emission arising from intramolecular terfluorenyl excimers. Regarding the importance of terfluorenyl derivatives in organic electronics, the present structure-properties relationship study, may open new avenues in the design of efficient blue fluorophores.     

Anthranilic acid hydrazide in the synthesis of fused polycyclic compounds with quinazoline moieties

A modified procedure was developed for the synthesis of 5,6,7,8,13,13a-hexahydrophthalazino[1,2-b]quinazoline-5,8-dione and 6-amino-5,6,6a,11-tetrahydroisoindolo[2,1-a]quinazoline-5,11-dione from o-formylbenzoic acid and anthranilic acid hydrazide.

Anthranilic acid hydrazide was used in the novel synthesis of 5-substituted phthalazino[1,2-b]quinazolin-8-one derivatives. The possible reaction mechanism is discussed. 5,6,7,8-Tetrahydrophthalazino[1,2-b]quinazoline-5,8-dione and 5-phenylphthalazino[2,1-b]quinazolin-8-one were studied by X-ray diffraction.     

Synthesis and properties of highly fluorescent indolizino[3,4,5-ab]isoindoles

We report here the synthesis, X-ray structures, optical and electrochemical properties, fabrication of light-emitting devices, and density functional calculations for indolizino[3,4,5-ab]isoindole (INI) derivatives. Strongly luminescent heterocycles based on the INI unit were synthesized by 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reactions between pyrido[2,1-a]isoindole (PIS) and acetylene or ethylene derivatives. They are indolizino[3,4,5-ab]isoindoles 2-9 and 14-15, benzo[1',2'-1,2]indolizino[3,4,5-ab]isoindoles 10, pyridazino[4',5':1,2]indolizino[3,4,5-ab]isoindoles 12-13, and 2,3-hydropyridazino[4',5':1,2]indolizino[3,4,5-ab]isoindole-1,4-dione 11. The relative luminescence quantum yield can be as high as 90%. Their reduction and oxidation potentials and high luminescence can make these heterocycles possible alternatives to tris(8-hydroxyquinolinato)aluminum (Alq(3)). The brightness of the light-emitting device reached as high as 10(4) cd/m(2) and indolizino[3,4,5-ab]isoindole 3 emits beautifully blue light. The X-ray crystal structures of INI derivatives were obtained for the first time. The geometries obtained from X-ray data and density functional theory calculations shed more light on an interesting formally antiaromatic 16pi system, which is divided into 10pi and 6pi aromatic systems. We also report a relatively easy protonation of INI, which occurs at a carbon, rather than nitrogen atom.
