Synthesis and photochromism of a series of new 2-unsubstituted 3-(2-benzylbenzoyl)quinolin-4(1H)-ones

Synthesis and characterization of a series of new 2-unsubstituted 3-(2-benzylbenzoyl)quinolin-4(1H)-ones is described. In addition to their potential biological activity, these compounds exhibit photoreversible photochromic properties in anaerobic conditions. Using the 1 and 2D NMR techniques we demonstrated that the coloration occurred owing to the formation of fluorescent 5a,6-dihydrobenzo[b]acridin-(5H)-ones. The photoreaction is stereoselective and the S,R-isomers are the major products (83%) whereas the S,S-isomers are the minor (6%). In addition, the irreversible formation of two oxidation products, 3-(2-benzoylbenzoyl)quinolin-4(1H)-ones, and acridin-12(5H)-one derivatives was observed in the presence of air.

Wittig reaction of 3-[4-(dimethylamino)phenyl]propanal (5) with (3-guaiazulenylmethyl)triphenylphosphonium bromide (4) in ethanol containing NaOEt at 25 °C for 24 h under argon gives the title (2E,4E)-1,3-butadiene derivative 6E in 19% isolated yield. Spectroscopic properties, crystal structure, and electrochemical behavior of the obtained new extended π-electron system 6E, compared with those of the previously reported (E)-2-[4-(dimethylamino)phenyl]-1-(3-guaiazulenyl)ethylene (12), are documented. Furthermore, reaction of 6E with 1,1,2,2-tetracyanoethylene (TCNE) in benzene at 25 °C for 24 h under argon affords a new Diels-Alder adduct 8 in 59% isolated yield. Along with spectroscopic properties of the [π4+π2] cycloaddition product 8, the crystal structure, possessing a cis-3,6-substituted 1,1,2,2-tetracyano-4-cyclohexene unit, is shown. Moreover, reaction of 6E with (E)-1,2-dicyanoethylene (DCNE) under the same reaction conditions as the above gives no product; however, this reaction in p-xylene at reflux temperature (138 °C) for four days under argon affords a new Diels-Alder adduct 9 in 54% isolated yield. Although reaction of 6E with DCNE in toluene at reflux temperature (110 °C) for four days under argon provides 9 very slightly, reaction of 6E with dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate (DMAD) in toluene at reflux temperature for two days under argon yields a new Diels-Alder adduct 10, in 58% isolated yield, which upon oxidation with MnO₂ in CH₂Cl₂ at 25 °C for 1 h gives 11, converting a (CH₃)₂N-4″ into CH₃NH-4″ group, in 37% isolated yield. The crystal structure of 11 supports the molecular structure 10 possessing a partial structure cis-3,6-substituted 1,2-dimethoxycarbonyl-1,4-cyclohexadiene. The title basic studies on the above are reported in detail.

Their structures were clearly verified by IR, ¹H NMR, EI-MS spectroscopy and elemental analysis, and in the case of compound 5a, analyzed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction further. The results of preliminary bioassay indicated that some compounds possess inhibition activities against Rhizoctonia solani and Botrytis cinereapers at a dosage of 50 mg/L.     

New 5-(2-ethenylsubstituted)-3(2H)-furanones with in vitro antiproliferative activity

The antiproliferative activity of title compounds were evaluated against leukemia-, carcinoma-, neuroblastoma-, and sarcoma-derived human cell lines in comparison to the natural compound geiparvarin. The structure activity relationship indicated that the maximum in vitro antiproliferative activity correlates with the presence of a heterocyclic ring on the ethenyl moiety.

Synthesis and properties of novel 5-(cyclohepta-2′,4′,6′-trienylidene)pyrimidine-2(1H),4(3H),6(5H)-triones: methodology for synthesizing cyclohepta[b]pyrimido[5,4-d]furan-8(7H),10(9H)-dionylium tetrafluoroborates

Novel condensation reaction of tropone with N-substituted and N,N′-disubstitued barbituric acids in Ac₂O afforded 5-(cyclohepta-2′,4′,6′-trienylidene)pyrimidine-2(1H),4(3H),6(5H)-trione derivatives (8a-f) in moderate to good yields. The ¹³C NMR spectral study of 8a-f revealed that the contribution of zwitterionic resonance structures is less important as compared with that of 8,8-dicyanoheptafulvene. The rotational barriers (ΔG^‡) around the exocyclic double bond of mono-substituted derivatives 8a-c were obtained to be 14.51-15.03 kcal mol⁻¹ by the variable temperature ¹H NMR measurements. The electrochemical properties of 8a-f were also studied by CV measurement. Upon treatment with DDQ, 8a-c underwent oxidative cyclization to give two products, 7 and 9-substituted cyclohepta[b]pyrimido[5,4-d]furan-8(7H),10(9H)-dionylium tetrafluoroborates (11a-c·BF₄⁻ and 12a-c·BF₄⁻) in various ratios, while that of disubstituted derivatives 8d-f afforded 7,9-disubstituted cyclohepta[b]pyrimido[5,4-d]furan-8(7H),10(9H)-dionylium tetrafluoroborate (11d-f·BF₄⁻) in good yields. Similarly, preparation of known 5-(1′-oxocycloheptatrien-2′-yl)-pyrimidine-2(1H),4(3H),6(5H)-trione derivatives (14a-d) and novel derivatives 14e,f was carried out. Treatment of 14a-c with aq. HBF₄/Ac₂O afforded two kinds of novel products 11a-c·BF₄⁻ and 12a,c·BF₄⁻ in various ratios, respectively, while that of 14d-f afforded 11d-f. The product ratios of 11a-c·BF₄⁻ and 12a-c·BF₄⁻ observed in two kinds of cyclization reactions were rationalized on the basis of MO calculations of model compounds 20a and 21a. The spectroscopic and electrochemical properties of 11a-f·BF₄⁻ and 12a-c·BF₄⁻ were studied, and structural characterization of 11c·BF₄⁻ based on the X-ray crystal analysis and MO calculation was also performed.

Antidepressive evaluation of these compounds was performed by antireserpine action and one compound exhibited the positive activity comparable to imipramine.     

Sodium bis(2-methoxyethoxy)aluminum hydride in reactions with 3-cyano-6-methylpyridine-2(1H)-thione and 3-cyano-6-methyl(4,6-dimethyl)-2-methylthiopyridines

The reactions of sodium bis(2-methoxyethoxy)aluminum hydride with 3-cyano-6-methylpyridine-2(1H)-thione and 3-cyano-6-methyl-2-methylthiopyridine afforded 3-aminomethyl-6-methylpyridine-2(1H)-thione and azomethine of the pyridine series, respectively. The corresponding reaction with 3-cyano-4,6-dimethyl-2-methylthiopyridine gave rise to azomethine, substituted 3-aminomethylpyridine, and substituted dipyridylmethane.
