Rearrangement reactions of aziridinylbenzaldoximes

Reactions of 2,2-dimethylaziridine with benzohydroximoyl chlorides [ArC(Cl)?NOH] give aziridinylbenzaldoximes 1 . It has been found that the aziridine ring in these compounds undergoes ring opening in hydrogen chloride-dioxane solution to give (Z)-N-hydroxy-N′-(2-chloro-2-methylpropyl)benzenecarboximidamides [ArC(NHCH₂CR¹R²Cl)?NOH, 4 ]. Treatment of 1 with hydrochloric acid followed by neutralization with aqueous sodium hydroxide gave 6,6-dimethyl-3-aryl-1,2,4-oxadiazines 2. Reaction of 4 with sodium hydride in dioxane gave 5-isopropyl-3-aryl-4,5-dihydro-1,2,4-oxadiazoles 5. Reaction of the 4,5-dihydro-1,2,4-oxadiazoles 5 with N-chlorosuccinimide gave the heteroaromatic 1,2,4-oxadiazoles 6 . It is suggested that reactions of 4 with sodium hydride in dioxane solution involve the conjugate base of 4 which undergoes a 1,2-hydride shift that is concerted with loss of chloride ion. In aqueous sodium hydroxide solution it is suggested that the conjugate base of 4 undergoes ionization of the chlorine atom followed by nucleophilic attack by the oximate anion.     

Synthesis of a New Series of Imidazo-[1,5-a]pyrido[2,3-e]pyrazines as Potential Ligands for the GABA Receptor Complex

Summary.  Starting from 2-chloro-3-nitropyridine, 2-isopropyl-1,4-dihydropyrido[2,3-b]pyrazin-2(3H),3-dione was synthesized. This compound was reacted with potassium tert-butoxide and diethyl chlorophosphate to afford an intermediate dihydropyrido[2,3-b]pyrazin-2-ylphosphate derivative which in turn furnished the desired 1,2,4-oxadiazolylimidazo[1,5-a]pyrido[2,3-e]pyrazine derivatives with 5-alkyl-3-isocyanomethyl-1,2,4-oxadiazoles in the presence of additional tert-butoxide. The title compounds are potential ligands for the γ-aminobutyric acid A/benzodiazepine receptor complex. Received November 26, 2001. Accepted December 3, 2001     

Reactions of 1,2,4-triazole derivatives with a “model” thiirane

Reactions of 3-mono- and 3,5-disubstituted 1,2,4-triazoles with a “model” thiirane, 8-bromo-1,3-dimethyl-7-(thiiran-2-ylmethyl)-3,7-dihydro-1H-purine-2,6-diones proceed at the positions N¹ and N² of the triazole ring and yield 7-(5-R-3-R′-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)methyl- and/or 7-(5-R′-3-R-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)methyl-1,3-dimethyl-6,7-dihydro[1,3]thiazolo[2,3-f]-purine-2,4-(1H,3H)-diones. 3-Methylsulfonyl-1,2,4-triazole reacted regiospecifically at the position N¹ forming 1,3-dimethyl-7-[(3-methyl-sulfonyl-1,2,4-triazole-1-yl)-methyl]-6,7-dihydro[1,3]thiazolo-[2,3-f]purine-2,4(1H,3H)-dione.     

The Behaviour of Nitrilimines Towards Ethyl Isocyanoacetate

 Interactions between nitrilimines and the title isocyanide afford, through two competing pathways, 2,3-dihydro-1,2,4-triazines and 1,3-oxazoles. In situ cycloaddition of unreacted nitrilimine with the triazines gives rise to a third class of products, the bicyclic 1,5,6,8a-tetrahydro[1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-d][1,2,4]triazines. Acceptor-free representatives of the latter are prone to triazine ring cleavage, yielding triazolyl ketone hydrazones which served as a structure proof. Substituent effects became apparent upon employment of N-(4-methoxyphenyl)- and N-(4-nitrophenyl)nitrilimines: whereas the former afforded a quinoxaline as the fourth product, triazine formation was totally blocked with the latter, the corresponding oxazole being the sole product. The constitution of acceptor-substituted bicyclic compounds (which failed to give the structure-revealing hydrazones) was established by an X-ray diffraction analysis.

The interaction of 4-allyl-5-phenyl-1,2,4-triazole-3-thione with iodine proceeds with the formation of a mixture of 6-iodomethyl-3-phenyl-5,6-dihydrothiazolo[2,3-c]-1,2,4-triazole and 6-iodo-3-phenyl-6,7-dihydro-5H-1,2,4-triazolo[3,4-b]-1,3-thiazine.

A Facile and Efficient Synthesis of Novel 1,2,4-Triazolo[5,1- b ]quinazolin-9-one Derivatives

 A facile and efficient synthesis of a series of novel 1,2,4-triazolo[5,1-b]quinazolines is described. 2,3-Diaryl-2,3-dihydro-1H-1,2,4-triazolo[5,1-b]quinazolin-9-ones were obtained by reaction of 3-amino-2-arylamino-3H-quinazolin-4-ones with aromatic aldehydes as well as by ring closure of the corresponding anils. Treatment of 3-amino-2-arylamino-3H-quinazolin-4-ones with aromatic carboxylic acids afforded 2,3-diaryl-3H-1,2,4-triazolo[5,1-b]quinazolin-9-ones which could also be synthesized by dehydrogenation of the corresponding dihydro derivatives. Reaction of 3-amino-2-arylamino-3H-quinazolin-4-ones with diethyl malonate and acetylacetone gave 3-aryl-3,9-dihydro-9-oxo-1,2,4-triazolo[5,1-b]quinazolin-2-yl-acetic acid ethyl ester and 3-aryl-2-methyl-3H-1,2,4-triazolo[5,1-b]quinazolin-9-ones, respectively.

Polysubstituted 2,3-dihydrofuro[2,3-b]pyridines and 3,4-dihydro-2H-pyrano[2,3-b]pyridines via microwave-activated inverse electron demand Diels-Alder reactions

Polysubstituted 2,3-dihydrofuro[2,3-b]pyridines and 3,4-dihydro-2H-pyrano[2,3-b]pyridines have been synthesized from 1,2,4-triazines using the inverse electron Diels-Alder reaction. For this purpose, 3-methylsulfanyl-1,2,4-triazines were reacted with several nucleophiles allowing the formation of appropriately substituted alkynes to undergo the intramolecular inverse electron demand Diels-Alder reaction. Sealed-tube microwave activation of the cycloaddition reaction has proved to be very efficient and allowed shorter reaction times. This strategy enabled an efficient synthesis of 3-hydroxy-2,3-dihydrofuro[2,3-b]pyridines and 4-hydroxy-3,4-dihydro-2H-pyrano[2,3-b]pyridines with several points of diversity on the bicyclic scaffold.     

Oxidative addition of <Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-aminophthalimide to styryl-1,2,4-oxadiazoles

In the reaction with 3,5-distyryl-1,2,4-oxadiazole a mixture was obtained of two regioisomeric monoadducts and a diadduct in the ratio 80 : 15: 5; at the use of 3 equiv of the aziridinating reagents only diadduct was isolated as a mixture of two diastereoisomers in the ∼3 : 2 ratio that were separated by recrystallization.     

Some condensations of methyl 4-acetylphenylcarbamate

Condensation of methyl 4-acetylphenylcarbamate with isatin in the presence of diethylamine afforded methyl 4-[(3-hydroxy-2-oxo-2,3-dihydro-1H-indol-3-yl)acetyl]phenylcarbamate which was converted into the corresponding chalcone on heating in glacial acetic acid in the presence of hydrochloric acid. 1,3-Dipolar cycloaddition to that chalcone of azomethine ylide generated from 2-phenacylisoquinolinium bromide by the action of triethylamine gave methyl 4-(3′-benzoyl-2-oxo-1′,2,2′,3,3′,10b′-hexahydro-1H-spiro-[indole-3,1′-pyrrolo[1,2-a]isoquinolin]-2′-ylcarbonyl)phenylcarbamate. Condensation of 2-hydroxy- and 2,4-dihydroxybenzaldehydes with methyl 4-acetylphenylcarbamate in the presence of gaseous hydrogen chloride resulted in the formation of chromenium salts with a methoxycarbonylaminophenyl fragment on the C² atom in the heteroring.

Design and synthesis of novel quinoline derivatives bearing oxadiazole,isoxazoline, triazolothiadiazole,triazolothiadiazine, and piperazine moieties

A new series of 2,3-disubstituted quinoline derivatives were synthesized from 2-chloroquinoline-3-carbaldehyde. In the reaction sequence, acetanilide was cyclized to give 2-chloroquinoline-3-carbaldehyde 1 , which was transformed to 2-(4-phenylpiperazin-1-yl)quinolin-3-carbaldehyde 2 by reaction with 4-phenylpiperazine in DMF-containing anhydrous K₂CO₃; then, compound 2 was oxidized by iodine in methanol, and methyl 2-(4-phenylpiperazin-1-yl)quinoline-3-carboxylate 3 was synthesized. The key intermediate 4 , 4-amino-5-[2-(4-phenylpiperazin-1-yl)quinolin-3-yl]-4H-1,2,4-triazole-3-thiol, was prepared using the ester 3 by a series of step. Reaction of 5 with various aromatic carboxylic acids or phenacyl bromides yielded 1,2,4-triazolo[3,4-b][1,3,4]thiadiazoles 5a-c and 1,2,4-triazolo[3,4-b][1,3,4]thiadiazines 6a-c , respectively. Moreover, compound 2 condensed with o-phenylenediamine to give 2-[2-(4-phenylpiperazin-1-yl)quinolin-3-yl]-1H-benzimidazole 7 . Interaction of 7 and 2-chloromethyl-5-aryl-1,3,4-oxadiazoles in the presence of K₂CO₃ led to the title compounds 8a-c . Furthermore, 4,5-dihydroisoxazoline derivatives 9a-c were obtained by the reaction of readily accessible starting materials including 2-(4-phenylpiperazin-1-yl)quinolin-3-carbaldehyde 2 , 1-phenyl-2-(triphenylphosphoranylidene)ethanone and hydroximoyl chlorides under mild conditions in the presence of Et₃N. The hydrazone intermediates 10a-c were obtained by the condensation of 2 with aroylhydrazides in ethanol, then, refluxing in acetic anhydride yielded 3-acetyl-5-aryl-2-[2-(4-phenylpiperazin-1-yl)quinolin-3-yl]-2,3-dihydro-1,3,4-oxadiazoles 11a-c . Structures of these compounds were established by their elemental analysis, IR, ¹H NMR, and mass spectral data.
