Polymethine dyes — Benzofuro[2,3-b]pyridine and selenonaphtheno[2,3-b]pyridine derivatives

Polymethine dyes — benzofuro[2,3-b]pyridine and selenonaphtheno[2,3-b]pyridine derivatives — were synthesized, and their spectral properties are discussed. Replacement of a vinylene group by an oxygen or selenium atom in one benzene ring of the 2-benzo[h]quinoline residue in the cyanines causes a large bathochromic shift of the absorption maxima of the dyes as compared with replacement by a sulfur atom. The dyes derived from benzofuro[2,3-b]pyridine derivatives are more deeply colored than the derivatives of both thionaphtheno[2,3-b]-pyridine and selenonaphtheno[2,3-b]pyridine.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 12, pp.1611–1614, December, 1972.     

Synthesis of 2-substituted-2,3- dihydro-1,4-dioxino[2,3-b]pyridine derivatives

[reaction--see text] A variety of 2-substituted-2,3-dihydro-1,4-dioxino[2,3-b]pyridines B have been synthesized from the readily available 2-nitro-3-oxiranylmethoxypyridine 1 via a Smiles rearrangement. We demonstrate how variations of reaction conditions affect the product distribution of A and B.     

Synthesis and properties of chromono[2,3-b]pyridines

Chromono[2,3-b]pyridines were synthesized by cyclization of 2-phenoxynicotinic acids. Their UV spectra are due to - ^* transitions and, in contrast to the spectrum of xanthone, are of high intensity. In concentrated sulfuric acid the chromono[2,3-b]pyridines form a doubly charged pyridinium-pyrylium ion, and the reaction is accompanied by an increase in the intensity of the long-wave bands (330–340 nm) in the UV spectrum. The spectrophotometrically determined pK_a values of 8-R-chromono[2,3-b]pyridines range from –8.62 to –9.81, depending on the substituent in the 8 position, and correlate with Hammett _p constants.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii No. 9, pp. 1235–1238, September, 1976.     

Polymethine dyes — 4-methylbenzofuro- and 4-methylbenzoselenopheno[2,3-b]pyridine derivatives

Polymethine dyes of various types were obtained from quaternary salts of 4-methylbenzofuro- and 4-methylbenzoselenopheno[2,3-b]pyridines. It is shown that replacement of the vinylene group in the benzene ring of the benzo[h]-4-quinoline residue by an oxygen or selenium atom gives rise to a larger hypsochromic shift of the absorption maxima of the corresponding cyanine dyes than replacement by a sulfur atom. Dyes with benzofuro[2,3-b]-4-pyridine residues absorb in the shorter-wave region of the spectrum than benzothieno- and benzoselenopheno[2,3-b]pyridine derivatives.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 10, pp. 1357–1360, October, 1976.

Chemistry of Thienopyridines. XXIV. Two Transformations of Thieno[ 2,3-b] pyridine 7-Oxide

Refluxing thieno[2,3-b ]pyridine 7-oxide ( 1 ) with aeetic anhydride plus subsequent hydrolysis produced a mixture of thieno[2,3-b]pyrid-6(7H)one ( 2 ) (13%) and 5-hydroxythieno[2,3-b]-pyridine ( 4 ) (4%). Refluxing 1 with phosphorus oxychloride yielded a mixture of 4- and 6-chloro-thieno[2,3-b]pyridines, ( 5 ) (54%) and ( 6 ) (31%), respectively. Compound 6 was also obtained directly from 2 (31%). A mechanistic rationalization for the isomerization of 1 to form 2 and 4 is presented. Marked differences in the mass spectral fragmentations of these three isomeric compounds are noted.

A two-step selenocyclisation-oxidative deselenaton sequence was used to establish the 3a-hydroxy-pyrrolo[2,3-b]indole core; these tricycles were used as effective precursors to 10b-hydroxy-pyrazino[1',2':1,5]pyrrolo[2,3-b]indole-1,4-diones.     

Synthèse et étude de modèles de NADH à noyaux accolés en série pyrrolo[2,3-b] et [3,2-b]pyridines

Abstract

8-Methoxy-4-phenyl-3,4,5,6-tetrahydrobenzo[h]quinazoline-2(1H)-thione, obtained by the condensation of 2-benzylidene-6-methoxy-3,4-dihydronapthalene-1(2H)-one with thiourea, on reaction with chloroacetic acid and 3-chloropropanoic acid in the presence of the ionic liquid N-methylpyridinium tosylate furnishes 3-methoxy-7-phenyl-7,10-dihydro-5H- benzo[h]thiazolo[2,3-b]quinazoline-9(6H)-one and 3-methoxy-7-phenyl-5,6,10,11-tetrahydro- benzo[h][1,3]thiazino[2,3-b]quinazoline-9(7H)-one. Further, condensation of the thione with 1,2-dibromoethane and 1,3-dibromopropane yields 3-methoxy-7-phenyl-6,7,9,10-tetrahydro-5 H-benzo[h]thiazolo[2,3-b]quinazoline and 3-methoxy-7-phenyl-5,6,7,9,10,11-hexahydrobenzo [h][1,3]thiazino[2,3-b]quinazoline respectively. Arylidene derivatives have been obtained by two routes. The structures of the cyclized compounds have been established on the basis of elemental analysis and spectroscopic data. The synthesized compounds were screened for antimicrobial activity. Some of the compounds showed promising antimicrobial activities.

A method for the synthesis of 3-amino derivatives of 4-nitrobenzo[b]furo[2,3-c]pyridines, which consists in heating 1,7-dimethyl-4-nitro-3(2H)-benzo[b]furo[2,3-c]pyridone with hexamethyldisilazane and secondary or primary amines in pyridine, was developed.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 11, pp. 1552–1555, November, 1991.     

Synthesis of 6-methylfuro[2,3-b]pyridine

The Claisen condensation of ethyl 2-ethoxy-6-methylpyridine-3-carboxylate with ethyl acetate gave ethyl 2-ethoxy-6-methylnicotinoylacetate, which was converted to 3-bromo-acetyl-6-niethyl-2-pyridone by heating with bromine in 48% hydrobromic acid. The cyclization of the bromoacetylpyridone by the action of silver oxide in methanol gave 3-oxo-6-methyl-2,3-dihydrofuro[2,3-b]pyridine, which was reduced to 3-hydroxy-6-methyl-2,3-dihydrofuro[2,3-b]pyridine with lithium aluminum hydride in dimethoxyethane. Acetylation of the latter gave its acetate, the pyrolysis of which in vacuo gave 6-methylfuro[2,3-b]-pyridine.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 11, pp. 1544–1546, November, 1972.     

From thiourea to bicyclic structures: an original route to imidazo[2,1-b]thiazoles, 5H-thiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidines, 7H-imidazo[2,1-b][1,3]thiazines,and 2H,6H-pyrimido[2,1-b][1,3]thiazines

We report an example of an efficient regioselective synthesis of biheterocyclic compounds using thiourea as starting material. In fact, N,N'-bis(dimethylaminomethylene)thiourea (1), easily prepared by double condensation of N,N-dimethylformamide dimethyl acetal with thiourea, can be reacted with haloketones or acrylic dienophiles to give thiazolic (2) and thiazinic (3) diazadienes, respectively, themselves undergoing cyclization reactions to yield imidazo[2,1-b]thiazoles, 5H-thiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidines, 7H-imidazo[2,1-b][1,3]thiazines, and 2H,6H-pyrimido[2,1-b][1,3]thiazines without any regioisomeric ambiguity. This straightforward route represents an original and unambiguously regioselective pathway to these valuable heterocycles.

An efficient synthesis of 4-(phenylsulfonyl)-4H-furo[3,4-b]indoles

The fused heterocycle 4-(phenylsulfonyl)-4H-furo[3,4-b]indole, which is an indole-2,3-quinodimethane synthetic analogue, is prepared in five steps from indole in 46% yield. A similar sequence is used to synthesize C-3 derivatives (3-methyl, 3-phenyl, and 3-heptyl). Thus, indole-3-carbaldehyde (1) is protected as the N-phenylsulfonyl derivative 2 and converted to the ethylene acetal 6. Lithiation at C-2 followed by treatment with an aldehyde affords the expected hydroxy acetals 7 and 8. Exposure to acid effects cyclization to the furoindoles 5 and 9. Furthermore, C-1 lithiation of furo[3,4-b]indole 9c followed by treatment with methyl iodide affords disubstituted furo[3,4-b]indole 10.
