Visible light-mediated photocatalytic bromination of 2-arylimidazo[1,2-a]pyridines using CBr4 as bromine source

Abstract

The photocatalytic bromination of 2-arylimidazo[1,2-a]pyridines is described in this paper. This reaction uses the readily accessible and shelf-stable CBr₄ as a bromine source. This photocatalytic system is shown to serve as a convenient and practical synthetic protocol for the preparation of 2-aryl-3-bromoimidazo[1,2-a]pyridines.     

Imidazo[1,2-<Emphasis Type="Italic">a</Emphasis>]benzimidazole derivatives: XXIX. 1-allyl-2-amino-3-acylmethylbenzimidazolium halides and syntheses on their base

Cyclization of 1-allyl-2-amino-3-acylmethylbenzimidazolium halides under alkaline conditions gave 9-allyl-substituted imidazo[1,2-a]benzimidazoles. Cyclization of the same compounds on heating in concentrated hydrobromic acid was accompanied by addition of hydrogen bromide at the exocyclic double bond. Competing cyclizations with participation of the 1-(2-bromopropyl) and 3-acylmethyl substituents in 2-imino-2,3-dihydro-1H-benzimidazole were studied. Functionalization of the imidazo[1,2-a]benzimidazole system was performed via introduction of substituents into the 3-position and replacement of bromine in the 2-bromopropyl group in the 9-position.

Preparation of styryl derivatives of 2-phenyl-imidazo [1, 2-a]pyridine 2-(p-Tolyl)-imidazo [1, 2-a]pyridines and 7-methyl-2-phenyl-imidazo [1,2-a]-pyridines can be converted, in dimethylformamide, on reaction with anils of aromatic aldehydes in the presence of potassium hydroxide or potassium t-butoxide, into the corresponding 2-(stilben-4-yl)- and 2-phenyl-7-styry1-imidazo [1, 2-a]-pyridines (‘Anil-Synthesis’). The 2-(p-tolyl)-imidazo [1,2-a]pyridines react far less readily than the 7-methyl-2-phenyl-imidazo[1,2-a]pyridines.

Esters, nitriles, and amides of dipyrrolo[1,2-a:2',1'-c]pyrazines have been synthesized by the acylation of dipyrrolo[1,2-a:2',1'-c]pyrazines and 5,6-dihydrodipyrrolo[1,2-a:2',1'-c]pyrazines with trichloroacetic acid chloride, p-tosyl isocyanate, and isocyanatophosphoric acid dichloride (Kirsanov isocyanate).     

Studies on ketene and its derivatives. Part 119. Reactions of haloketenes with 2-arylideneaminopyridines

Reactions of haloketenes with 2-arylideneaminopyridines were examined. Reaction of dichloroketene with 2-benzylideneaminopyridines gave 2,2-dichloro-3-phenyl-3-(2-pyridylamino)propanoic acids and 3-chloro-2-phenylpyrido[1,2-a]pyrimidin-4(4H)-ones. Similar reaction of dichloroketene with 2-(2-furfurylideneamino)-pyridines gave 3-chloro-2-(2-furyl)pyrido[1,2-a]pyrimidin-4-(4H)-ones. Chloroketene and chlorophenylketene also reacted with 2-arylideneaminopyridines to give pyrido[1,2-a]pyrimidin-4(4H)-ones. Ring transformations of pyrido[1,2-a]pyrimidin-4-(4H)-ones were carried out to give 1,8-naphthyridin-4(1H)-ones and imidazo[1,2-a]-pyridines.     

Acetylenchemie. 9. Mitt. Anellierte imidazole aus N-propinylamid-vorstufen

The Compound 2-(N-Formyl-N-prop-2′-inyl)aminopyridine was cyclised in boiling formic acid to 3-methylimidazo[1,2-a]pyridine, with 3-methylene-2H-imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine as the intermediate. Under similar conditions the 1,3-diprop-2-inylpyrimido[4,5-b]quinoline-2,4-dione resulted from 1-methylimidazo[1,2-a]quinoline-4-carbonic acid-N-2-prop-2′-inylamide and from the 1-prop-2′-inylbenzo[b][1,8]naphthyridin-2-one the 1-methylbenzo[b]imidazo[1,2,3-ij]naphthyridine-4,7-dione as a new ring system, was obtained.     

Methyl 2-benzoylamino-3-dimethylaminopropenoate in the synthesis of heterocyclic systems. An attempt to prepare benzoylamino substituted azolo- and azinopyrimidines with a bridgehead nitrogen atom

Methyl 2-benzoylamino-3-dimethylaminopropenoate ( 2 ) was introduced as a new reagent for the preparation of fused pyrimidinones 4 from heterocyclic α-amino compounds in acetic acid. In this manner, derivatives of pyrido[1,2-a]pyrimidine 4a,b,f , pyrimido[1,2-b]pyridazine 4g , pyrimido[1,2-c]pyrimidine 4j , pyrazino[1,2-a]pyrimidine 4k , thiazolo[2,3-b]pyrimidine 41 , pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine 4m , and 1,2,4-triazolo-[1,5-a]pyrimidine 4n were prepared.     

Transformations of the pyrido[1,2-a]pyrazine ring system into imidazo[1,2-a]pyridines,imidazo[1,2-a]pyrimidines and 2-oxa-6a, 10c-diazaaceanthrylenes

Transformations of methyl 3-dimethylamino-2-(1-methoxycarbonyl-4-oxo-4H-pyrido[1,2-a]pyrazin-3-yl)acrylate with some cyanomethylenecarbonyl group containing compounds or cyanamide into imidazo-[1,2-a]pyridines, irmdazo[1,2-a]pyrimidines and 2-oxa-6a, 10c-diazaaceanthrylenes are described.     

Photoelectron spectroscopy of heterocycles. Azaindenes and azaindolizines

The HeI photoelectron (PE) spectra of indole ( 1 ), benzimidazole ( 2 ), indazole ( 3 ), 3-chloro-indazole ( 4 ), imidazo[1,2-b]pyridazine ( 5 ), 6-chloroimidazo[1,2-b]pyridazine ( 6 ), 2-phenyl-imidazo[1,2-b]pyridazine ( 7 ), 2-phenyl-6-chloroimidazo[1,2-b]pyridazine ( 8 ), tetrazolo[1,2-a]-pyridine ( 9 ) and 8-cyanotetrazolo[1,5-a]pyridine ( 10 ) have been recorded. The spectra of 2–10 are of special interest for studying lone pair interactions. The assignment of the PE spectra submitted here, conjointly with the electronic structure of the studied compounds is discussed on the basis of molecular orbital calculations.     

Research on heterocyclic compounds. XXIII. Phenyl derivatives of fused imidazole systems

The reaction of various heteroarylamines with ethyl 2-benzoyl-2-bromoacetate was used to obtain some imidazo[1,2-a]pyridines, imidazo[1,2-a]pyrimidines, imidazo[2,1-b]thiazoles and imidazo[2,1-b]benzothiazoles characterized by the presence of a phenyl moiety on the imidazole ring. In the case of thiazole and benzothiazole derivatives, unexpected by-products were isolated and their structures elucidated.     

Bridgehead nitrogen heterocycles. VI. The reaction of 1-amino- and 1,2-diaminopyridinium salts with β-dicarbonyl compounds

1,2-Diaminopyridinium iodide underwent reaction with ethyl acetoacetate to form 1,4-dihydro-2-methyl-4-oxopyrido[1,2-a]pyrimidin-1-ium iodide, and with acetyl acetone it gave 2,4-dimethylpyrido[1,2-a]pyrimidin-5-ium iodide. Though 2-acetylcyclohexanone gave the corresponding 5-methyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyrido[1,2-a]quinazolin-11-ium iodide, no reaction was observed with 2,6-dimethyl-3,5-heptanedione, 1-benzoylacetone, 1,3-diphenyl-1,3-propanedione and its p-methoxyphenyl derivative. However, 1-aminopyridinium iodide and acetyl acetone in the presence of base gave 3-acetyl-2-methylpyrazolo[1,5-a]pyridine and 1-amino-2-methylpyridinium iodide yielded the corresponding 3-acetyl-2,7-dimethylpyrazolo[1,5-a]pyridine. With ethyl acetoacetate, the latter salt formed 3-ethoxycarbonyl-2,7-dimethylpyrazolo[1,5-a]pyridine but with 2,6-dimethyl substituents in the pyridine ring no condensation occurred. Reaction of 1-amino-2-methylpyridinium iodide with benzaldehyde gave N-benzalimino-2-methylpyridinium iodide which, on treatment with base, resulted in the formation of 2-picoline and benzonitrile, providing a convenient method of deamination.     

Aza-2-dienes-1,3. Partie 5. Préparation de N-aminoimidazoles, 3H-pyrroles,triazolo[1,2,4][1,5-a]pyrazines et imidazo[1,2-a]pyrazines

2-Aza-1,3-dienes. Access to N-Aminoimidazoles, 3H-Pyrroles, [1,2,4]Triazolo[1,5-a]pyrazines, or Imidazo[1,2-a]pyrazines Nucleophilic attack of 5-(dialkylamino)-2-aza-1,3-diene-1,1-dicarbonitriles (or their 1-methoxycarbonyl analogous) by hydrazines or hydrazdes gives substituted N-aminoimidazoles, [1,2,4]triazolo-[1,5-a]pyrazines, or α-dihydrazino derivatives. With α-amino esters (or analogous), imidazo[1,2-a]pyrazines are produced. Addtion of cyanide anions occurs also with formation of substituted 3H-pyrroles. Structures and rationalisation of this nucleophilic attack are discussed.     

One step synthesis of pyrimido[1,2-a][1,8]naphthyridinones,pyrido[1,2-a]pyrimidinones and 1,8-naphthyridinones. Antihypertensive agents. V

The condensation of 2,6-diaminopyridine and 2-acetamido-6-aminopyridine with β-keto esters in polyphosphophoric acid was studied. In this reaction some 1,8-naphthyridinones, pyrido[1,2-a]pyrimidinones and pyrimido[1,2-a][1,8]naphthyridinones variously substituted were obtained.     

Synthesis of pyrimido[1,2-a]benzimidazoles from ethyl 2-ethoxymethylidene-3-oxo-3-(polyfluoroalkyl)propionates

Cyclization of ethyl 2-ethoxymethylidene-3-oxo-3-polyfluoroalkylpropionates with benzimidazol-2-amine in boiling 1,4-dioxane followed two concurrent pathways with participation of fluoroacyl and ethoxycarbonyl fragments and formation of, respectively, ethyl 4-hydroxy-4-polyfluoroalkyl-1,4-dihydropyrimido-[1,2-a]benzimidazole-3-carboxylates and 3-polyfluoroacylpyrimido[1,2-a]benzimidazol-4-ols. Dihydropyrimido[1,2-a]benzimidazole derivatives undergo dehydration to give ethyl 4-(polyfluoroalkyl)pyrimido[1,2-a]benzimidazole-3-carboxylates, whereas the hydroxy group in 3-polyfluoroacylpyrimido[1,2-a]benzimidazol-4-ols is capable of being replaced by the amino group of the second benzimidazole molecule with formation of 4-(1H-benzimidazol-2-ylamino)-3-polyfluoroacylpyrimido[1,2-a]benzimidazoles.     

Nitrogen bridgehead compounds. Part 86. Synthesis and reactivity of 7,12-dihydropyrimido[1′,2′;1,2]pyrido[3,4-b]indol-4(6H)-ones. Debenzologues of rutaecarpine alkaloids

A series of 7,12-dihydropyrimido[1′2′:1,2]pyrido[3,4-b]mdole-4(6H)-ones was prepared by Fischer indolization of 9-arylhydrazono-6,7,8,9-tetrahydro-4H-pyrido[1,2-a]pyrirmdin-4-ones. Quantum chemical calculations (ab initio and AM1) indicate that position 3 of 7,12-dihydropyrimido[1′,2′:1,2]pyrido-[3,4-b]indole-4(6H)-one can be involved in electrophilic substitutions, while position 2 is sensitive towards nucleophilic attack. Bromination of 6-methyl-7,12-tetrahydropyrimido[1′,2′:1,2]pyrido-[3,4-b]indol-4(6H)-one 16 with bromine afforded 3-bromo derivative 25 , which was reacted with cyclic amines to give 2-ammo-7,12-dihydropyrirmdo[1′2′:1,2]pyrido[3,4-b]indol-4(6H)-ones 26–30 in an addition-elimination reaction. Vielsmeier-Haack formylation of compound 16 gave 12-formyl 31 and 3,12-diformyl 32 derivatives (an N-formyl-1-deaza derivative of nauclefidine alkaloid 34 ) at 60° and 100°, respectively. 3,12-Diformyl compound 32 was oxidized to 3-carboxyl derivative 33 with potassium permanganate. The quaternary salt 35 , obtained from compound 16 with dimethyl sulfate, suffered a ring opening on the action of aqueous sodium hydroxide. The new compounds have been characterized by elemental analyses uv, ¹H nmr and in some cases by ¹³C ruler, CD spectra and X-ray investigations.     

Heterocyclic systems. II. Synthesis of 4H,6H-pyrrolo[1,2-a][4,1]benzoxazepine

The reduction of 1-(2-methoxycarbonylphenyl)pyrrole-2-carboxaldehyde by lithium aluminum hydride led to 1-(2-hydroxymethylphenyl)-2-hydroxymethylpyrrole, which was in turn transformed into 4H,6H-pyrrolo-[1,2-a][4,1]benzoxazepine through intramolecular dehydration. The reductive action of sodium borohydride, instead, allowed the preparation of 6-oxo-4H-pyrrolo[1,2-a][4,1]benzoxazepine.     

Synthesis of pyrrolo[1,2-a]quinoxalines by 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction. An additional reaction mechanism via an aziridine intermediate

The reaction of the 2-substituted 6-chloroquinoxaline 4-oxides 1a or 1b with 2-fold molar amount of methyl propiolate resulted in the 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction to give 8-chloro-1,3-bismethoxycarbonyl-4-(piperidin-1-yl)pyrrolo[1,2-a]quinoxaline 4a or 8-chloro-1,3-bismethoxycarbonyl-4-(morpholin-4-yl)pyrrolo-[1,2-a]quinoxaline 4b , respectively. Compound 4a or 4b was transformed into 8-chloro-3-methoxycarbonyl-4-(piperidin-1-yl)pyrrolo[1,2-a]quinoxaline 5a or 8-chloro-3-methoxycarbonyl-4-(morpholin-4-yl)pyrrolo[1,2-a]-quinoxaline 5b , respectively. The structure of 4a,b was confirmed by the NOE measurement among the C₁ -H , C ₂-H and C ₉-H proton signals of 5a,b . An additional reaction mechanism was proposed for the ring transformation of isoxazolo[2,3-a]quinoxalines into pyrrolo[1,2-a]quinoxalines.     

4-Hydroxy-2-quinolones. 168*. Synthesis,chemical and antitubercular properties of 1-R-4-hydroxy-2-oxo-1,2-dihydroquinoline-3-carboxylic acid pyrazin-2-ylamides

1-R-4-Hydroxy-2-oxo-1,2-dihydroquinoline-3-carboxylic acid pyrazin-2-ylamides have been synthesized as potential antitubercular agents. In contrast to pyrimidin-2-ylamides the compounds prepared are brominated by molecular bromine in glacial acetic acid at position 6 of the quinolone ring rather than in the amide part of the molecule. The 1-N-allyl derivative behaves similarly but undergoes halocyclization to give 2-bromomethyl-5-oxo-1,2-dihydro-5H-oxazolo[3,2-a]quinoline-4-carboxylic acid pyrazin-2-ylamide. A comparative analysis of the antimycobacterial properties of the synthesized compounds and their isomeric pyrimidin-2-ylamides has been carried out.     

Nitrogen bridgehead compounds VIII . Ring transformations IV . Synthesis and reactions of 2,3-Cycloalkylene-4H-pyrido [1,2-a] pyrimidin-4-ones

By condensing alicyclic β-ketocarboxylates with substituted 2-aminopyridines in polyphosphoric acid or phosphoryl chloride-polyphosphoric acid, numerous 2,3-tri-, tetra-, penta- and hexamethylene-4H-pvrido[1,2-a]pyrimidin-4-ones were synthesized for pharmacological purposes. The stability and several reactions of the title compounds were studied. The 6-substituted-4H-pyrido[1,2-a]pyrimidin-4-ones were transformed into 1,8-naphthyridines in good yields independent of the ring size of ring C . The characteristic differences in the ir and uv spectra of the pyrido-pyrimidines and the corresponding naphthyridines are discussed. Catalytic hydrogenation of the pyrido[1,2-a]pyrimidin-4-ones furnished the corresponding 6,7,8,9-tetrahydropyrido-[1,2-a]pyrimidin-4-one derivatives. It was found that the A and C rings attached to the pyrirnidinone ring in solutions of unsubstituted tetrahydropyrido[1,2-a]pyrimidin-4-ones are flexible, whereas in the 6-methyl derivatives the conformer containing the 6-methyl group in axial position predominates.
