1,2-fused pyrimidines. V. Synthesis of 1-alkyl or phenyl-2H-dipyrido-[1,2-a:2′,3′-d]pyrimidine-2,5(1H)-diones

The reaction of 2-[(N-acyl, N-alkyl or phenyl)amino]-4H-pyrido[1,2-a]pyrimidin-4-ones 8a-g with the N,N-dimethylformamide/phosphorus oxychloride Vilsmeier reagent 1 (95°, 90 minutes) afforded 1-alkyl or phenyl-2H-dipyrido[1,2-a:2′,3′-d]pyrimidine-2,5(1H)^?diones, 3-alkyl substituted or not, 10a-g . The starting compounds 8 were prepared by treating 2-amino-4H-pyrido[1,2-a]pyrimidin-4-ones N-alkyl substituted 7a,b or N-phenyl substituted 4 with excess anhydrides (130°, 7 hours) when the 2-(alkylamino) derivatives 7 were used in the reaction, compounds 8 were obtained along with very small amounts of 3-acyl-2-(alkylamino)-4H-pyrido[1,2-a]pyrimidin-4-ones 9 .     

Furopyridines. VII. Preparation and hydrolysis of 2-cyano and 3-cyano derivatives of furo[3,2-b]-, furo[2,3-c]- and furo[3,2-c]pyridine

This paper describes the preparation and hydrolysis of 2-cyano and 3-cyano derivatives of furo[3,2-b]-, furo[2,3-c]- and furo[3,2-c]pyridine. Treatment of furopyridines 1a , 1b and 1c with n-butyllithium in hexane-tetrahydrofuran at -70° and subsequent addition of N,N-dimethylformamide yielded 2-formyl derivatives 2a , 2b and 2c. Dehydration of the oximes 4a , 4b and 4c of 2a , 2b and 2c gave 2-cyano compounds 5a , 5b and 5c , which were hydrolyzed to give 2-carboxylic acids, 6a, 6b and 6c , respectively. Reaction of 3-bromo compounds 7a , 7b and 7c with copper(I) cyanide in N,N-dimethylformamide afforded 3-cyano derivatives 8a , 8b and 8c. Alkaline hydrolysis of 8a , 8b and 8c gave compounds formed by fission of the 1-2 bond of furopyridines 9a , 9b and 9c , while acidic hydrolysis gave the corresponding carboxamides, 10a , 10b and 10c.     

Synthesis and autoxidation of new tetracyclic 9H,10H-indolizino[1,2-b]indole-1-ones.

The new tetracyclic 9H,10H-indolizino[1,2-b]indole-1-one derivatives (7a-d, 7ea, 7eb) have been synthesized by modified Fischer indole synthesis from the enol ether of 2,5-dihydroxy-7-methyl-6-cyano-indolizine (3) and arylhydrazines (4a-g). Attempted N-methylation of 7a-d produced a series of autoxidized products including 10-hydroperoxy-1-methoxyindolizino[1,2-b]indole (9a-d) as the major product accompanied with methylperoxides (10a-d and 11a-d) and 2-formyl-3-(pyridine-2-yl)indole (12a, 12c) derivatives as the minor products. A plausible mechanism of the autoxidation is postulated based on the isolation of some intermediates. The reaction is thought to proceed through azaenolate/enamine intermediates following a novel type of autoxidation.     

Photocyclization reactions. Part 3 . Synthesis of naphtho[1,8-bc]-furans and Cyclohepta[cd]benzofurans using photocyclization of 8-alkoxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-1-naphthalenones and 4-alkoxy-6,7,8,9-tetrahydro-5H-benzocyclohepten-5-ones

Photocyclization reactions were carried out on 8-alkoxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-1-naphthalenones (six-membered ring ketones) 4a-g and 4-alkoxy-6,7,8,9-tetrahydro-5H-benzocyclohepten-5-ones (seven-membered ring ketones) 5a -e in acetonitrile. Irradiation of 4a-f gave rearranged naphthyl alcohols 8a-f as major products. In the case of 4g , 2a,3,4,5-tetrahydronaphtho[1,8-bc]furan-2a-ol 6g was obtained. In contrast, irradiation of 5a-e afforded 2,2a,3,4,5,6-hexahydrocyclohepta[cd]benzofuran-2a-ols 9a-e in good yields. The difference in reactivities between 4a-g and 5a-e is attributed to the conformation of six- and seven-membered rings. Conformational and substituent effects in cyclization step of 1,5-biradicals are discussed along with reaction pathways.     

Synthesis of 1H-pyrazino[1,2-a]pyrido[2,3-e]pyrazine and 2H-Pyrano[2,3-b]pyrido[2,3-e]pyrazine Derivatives

With a continuing interest on heteropolycyclic structures which may show biological activities, we synthesized new tricyclic derivatives in which the pyridopyrazine skeleton is fused with pyrazine 7 and 8, B , n = 1. However, the initial design of obtaining also the cyclohomologous structure B (n = 2) produced instead a pyranopyridopyrazine derivative 11 . Thus during the attempt to prepare a pyridodiazepine intermediate, beside a very small amount of the desired product 10 , the pyridopyrazine 9 was obtained. The latter compound reacted with chloroacetyl chloride/chloroketene to give 4-carbethoxy-10-(chloroacetyl)-5,10-dihydro-5-methyl-2H-pyrano[2,3-b]pyrido[2,3-e]pyrazin-2-one ( 11 ). In studying the behavior of this derivative, compounds 12–14 were obtained. Compounds 4b,c, 5a,b, 7, 8, 9 and 14 have been submitted to preliminary pharmacological screening as CNS depressant agents.     

Synthesis,reactions, and antimicrobial activity of some novel pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine,pyrazolo[4,3-e][1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-c]pyrimidine,and pyrazolo[4,3-e][1,2,4]triazolo[3,4-c]pyrimidine derivatives

Treatment of N-phenyl-substituted benzenecarbo-hydrazonoyl chlorides 1a - d with malononitrile in sodium ethoxide solution gave 5-amino-4-cyanopyrazole derivatives 2 - 5 . Compounds 2 - 5 were converted to formidate derivatives 6 - 9 upon treatment with TEOF in acetic anhydride. The reaction of the latter products 6 - 9 with hydrazine hydrate gave imino-amino derivatives 10 - 13 , which was converted to hydrazino derivatives 14 - 17 by refluxing with hydrazine hydrate. Hydrazino as well as imino-amino derivatives undergo condensation, cyclization, and cycloaddition reactions to give pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine 18 - 21 , pyrazolo[4,3-e][1,2,4]triazolo-[3,4-c]pyrimidine 22 - 27 , and pyrazolo[3′,4′:4,5]pyrimido[1,6-b][1,2,4]triazine 42 - 44 derivatives. Antimicrobial studies are performed using two Gram-positive bacteria and two Gram-negative bacteria. Data indicated that compounds 5 , 28D , 29B , and 31D are exploring elevated antibacterial effects against all strains tested. Compound 28D is the most promising antibacterial agent against the delicate bacterial strain Bacillus subtilis and Pseudomonas aeruginosa with high effectiveness (low minimum inhibitory concentration [MIC] value) 40 and 60 μg/mL, respectively.     

Furopyridines. XXVIII. Reactions of 3-bromo derivatives of furo[2,3-b]-, -[3,2-b]-, -[2,3-c]- and -[3,2-c]pyridine and their N-oxides

Bromination of 3-bromofuro[2,3-b]- 1a , -[3,2-b]- 1b and - [3,2-c]pyridine 1d afforded the 2,3-dibromo derivatives 2a, 2b and 2d , while the -[2,3-c]- compound 1c did not give the dibromo derivative. Nitration of 1a-d gave the 2-nitro-3-bromo compounds 3a-d . The N-oxides 4a-d of 1a-d were submitted to the cyanation with trimethylsilyl cyanide to yield the corresponding α-cyanopyridine compound 6a-d . Chlorination of 4a and 4d with phosphorus oxychloride gave mainly the chloropyridine derivatives 7a, 7′a and 7d , while 4b and 4c gave mainly the chlorofuran derivatives 7′b and 7′c accompanying formation of the chloropyridine derivatives 7b, 7′b and 7c . Acetoxylation of 4a and 4b with acetic anhydride yielded the acetoxypyridine compounds 8a, 8′a and 8b , while 4c and 4d gave the acetoxypyridine 8′c, 8′d and 8′d , pyridone 8c and 8d , acetoxyfuran 8′c and dibromo compound 9c and 9′c.     

New heterocyclic structures. [1,2,5]Thiadiazolo[3′,4′:4,5]pyrimido-[2,1-b][1,3]thiazine and thiazolo[3,2a][1,2,5]thiadiazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine

Derivatives of two new molecular structures, namely, 7,8-dihydro-6H,10H-[1,2,5]thiadiazolo[3′,4′:4,5]pyrimido[2,1-b][1,3]thiazin-10-one and 6,7-dihydro-9H-thiazolo[3,2-a][1,2,5]thiadiazolo[3,4-d][pyrimidin-9-one, and derivatives of N-substituted sulfamic acid, namely, (8-amino-3,4-dihydro-2H,6H-pyrimido[2,1-b][1,3]thiazin-6-on-7-yl)sulfamic acid and (7-amino-2,3-dihydro-5H-thiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidin-5-on-6-yl)sulfamic acid, were separated out as by-products in the reduction reaction of 8-amino-3,4-dihydro-7-nitroso-2H,6H-pyrimido[2,1- b][1,3]thiazin-6-one and 7-amino-2,3-dihydro-6-nitroso-5H-thiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidin-5-one derivatives, respectively, with sodium hydrosulfite. A mechanism of reaction, which hypothesizes the action of sodium hydrosulfite in an asymmetic form, is proposed. The results of single-crystal X-ray investigation on 7,8-dihydro-6H,10H-[1,2,5]thiadiazolo[3′,4′:4,5]pyrimido[2,1-b][1,3]thiazin-10-one (R = 0.032 for 863 reflections) and (8-amino-3,4-dihydro-2H,6H-pyrimido[2,1-b]- [1,3]thiazin-6-on-7-yl)sulfamic acid, sodium salt (R = 0.028 for 3507 reflections) are reported.     

Highly selective addition of chiral,sulfonimidoyl substituted bis(allyl)titanium complexes to N-sulfonyl alpha-imino esters: asymmetric synthesis of gamma,delta-unsaturated alpha-amino acids bearing a chiral,electron-withdrawing nucleofuge at the delta-position

Selective addition of the chiral, sulfonimidoyl substituted bis(allyl)titanium complexes 5a-d, which are configurationally labile in regard to the Calpha-atoms, to N-toluenesulfonyl (Ts)-, N-2-trimethylsilylethanesulfonyl (SES)-, and N-tert-butylsulfonyl (Bus) alpha-imino ester (9a-c) in the presence of Ti(OiPr)(4) and ClTi(OiPr)(3) afforded with high regio- and diastereoselectivities in good yields the (syn, E)-configured beta-alkyl-gamma,delta-unsaturated alpha-amino acid derivatives 2a-g, which carry a chiral, electron-withdrawing nucleofuge at the delta-position and a cyclohexyl, an isopropyl, a phenyl, and a methyl group at the beta-position. Addition of the cyclic bis(allyl)titanium complex 14 to N-Bus alpha-imino ester 9c afforded with similar high regio- and diastereoselectivities the (E)- and (Z)-configured amino acid derivatives (E)-8 and (Z)-8. Reaction of complexes 5a-d with alpha-imino esters 9a-c in the presence of Ti(OiPr)(4) occurs stepwise to give first the mono(allyl)titanium complexes containing 2a-g as ligands, which react in the presence of ClTi(OiPr)(3) with a second molecule of 9a-c with formation of two molecules of 2a-g. Formation of (S,R,E)-configured homoallylic amines 2a-g entails Si,Re,E processes of alpha-imino esters 9a-c with the (R,R)-configured bis(allyl)titanium complexes (R,R)-5a-d and (R)-configured mono(allyl)titanium complexes (R)-17a-d, both of which are most likely in rapid equilibrium with their (S,S)-diastereomers and (S)-diastereomers, respectively. Interestingly, in the reaction of 5a-d with aldehydes, the (S,S)-configured complexes (S,S)-5a-d are the ones which react faster. Reaction of the N-titanated amino acid derivatives Ti-2a and Ti-2b with N-Ts alpha-imino ester 9a led to the highly diastereoselective formation of imidazolidinones 15a and 15b, respectively. Cleavage of the sulfonamide group of the N-Bus amino acid derivative 2d with CF(3)SO(3)H gave quantitatively the sulfonimidoyl functionalized amino acid H-2d. A Ni-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction of the amino acid derivative 2e with ZnPh(2) led to a substitution of the sulfonimidoyl group by a phenyl group and furnished the enantiomerically pure protected alpha-amino acid Bus-1. Two new N-sulfonyl alpha-imino esters, the SES and the Bus alpha-imino esters 9b and 9c, respectively, have been synthesized from the corresponding sulfonamides by the Kresze method in medium to good yields. The N-SES alpha-imino ester 9b and the N-Bus alpha-imino ester 9c should find many synthetic applications, in particular, in cases where the N-Ts alpha-imino ester 9a had been used before.     

Dibenzo[b,e][1,4]diazepin-1-Ones,Synthesis and Derivatization

Several linearly fused tricyclic 6,7,6-systems were prepared. Reaction of 1,2-diamino-4-nitrobenzene with 5,5-dimethylcyclohexan-1,3-dione gave 3-(2-amino-5-nitroaniIino)-5,5-dimethylcyclohex-2-en-1-one (8) . Reaction of 8 and its analogue 6 with various aldehydes gave 2,3,4₎5,10,11-hexahydro-3,3-dimethyl-11-substituted-1H-dibenzo[b,e][1,4]diazepin-1-ones 9 and 10 . Acetylation of 9 and 10 gave the corresponding N-acetyl derivatives. Spectral data of the products are discussed.     

Amino acids in the synthesis of heterocyclic systems. The synthesis of 4-oxo-4H-pyrido[1,2-a]pyridines and 4-oxo-4H-pyrido[1,2-a]pyrimidines

The pyridine and quinoline derivatives 2, 3 , and 6 with an activated methylene group atα-position in respect to the ring nitrogen atom were converted with 1, 8 , or 9 into fused pyrido[1,2-a]pyridine derivatives 4, 5, 7 , and 10 . In an analogous manner were the aminopyridines 16 and 17 transformed with thiazolone 9 into pyrido[1,2-a]pyrimidine derivatives 20, 21, 25 , and 26 .     

A new method for the synthesis of 4H-1,3,4-thiadiazino[5,6-b]quinoxalines

The reaction of 6-chloro-2-[1-methyl-2-(Mmemylthiocarbamoyl)hydrazino]quinoxaline 4-oxide 5 with acetic anhydride or trifluoroacetic anhydride resulted in dehydrative cyclization to give 2-(N-acetyl)-memylamino-8-chloro-4-methyl-4H-1,3,4-thiadiazino[5,6-b]quinoxaline 6 or 8-chloro-2-(N-trifluoroacetyl)methylamino-4-methyl-4H-1,3,4-thiadiazino[5,6-b]quinoxaline 9 , respectively. The oxidation of compound 6 or 9 with 2-fold molar amount of m-chloroperbenzoic acid afforded the 4H-1,3,4-thiadiazino-[5,6-b]quinoxaline 1,1-dioxide 8 or 13 , respectively. The acetyl group of compound 6 was hardly hydrolyzed, but the trifluoroacetyl group of compound 9 was easily hydrolyzed to change into 8-chloro-4-methyl-2-memylamino-4H-1,3,4-thiadiazino[5,6-b]quinoxaline 10 . The acylation of compound 10 with acetic anhydride, trifluoroacetic anhydride, phenyl isocyanate, and chloroacetyl chloride furnished the 2-(N-acetyl)methylamino 6 , 2-(N-trifluoroacetyl)methylamino 9 , 2-(1-methyl-3-phenylureido) 11 , and 2-(N-chloroacetyl)methylamino 12 derivatives, respectively.

Synthese und Konfiguration einiger Spiro [indan-2,2′-pyrrolidin]- und Spiro [pyrrolidin-2,2′-tetralin]-Derivate,

Synthesis and configuration of some spiro [indan-2,2′-pyrrolidine] and spiro [pyrrolidine-2,2′-tetraline] derivatives Catalytic hydrogenation of the nitrosoindan and nitrosotetralin derivatives 8 yielded trans-1-hydroxy-spiro [indan-2,2′-pyrrolidin]-5′-one ( 9 ) and trans-1′-hydroxy-spiro [pyrrolidine-2,2′-tetralin]-5-one ( 10 ) respectively, whilst the corresponding cis compounds 12 and 15 were prepared via the chlorides 11 and 14 . The configurations of 10 and 13 were determined by X-Ray analysis.     

Synthesis of new imidazo[4,5-d][1,3]diazepine derivatives from 5-amino-4-(cyanoformimidoyl)imidazoles

N¹-[(Z) -2- Amino-1,2-dicyanovinyl]formamidines 1a-d react readily with tosyl isocyanate to form novel 8-amino-3-substituted-5-oxo-7-tosylaminoimidazo[4,5-d][1,3]diazepines 6a-d rather than the 6-cyano-2-oxopurine derivatives 5a-d expected. Compound 5a has been synthesized from 1a by reaction with ethyl chloroformate and base-catalyzed cyclization of the resultant 5-ethoxycarbonylamino-4-(cyanoformimidoyl)imidazole. Treatment of the 5-amino-4-cyanoimidazoles 7a and b with tosyl isocyanate under similar conditions gives the 4-cyano-5-(3′-tosylureido)imidazoles 8a and b , which on treatment with ethanolic ammonia cyclizes to the corresponding isoguanines 10a and b .     

Arene imine derivatives of chrysene and of benzo[g]chrysene: 1a,11c-dihydrochryseno[5,6-b]azirine and 1a,13c-dihydrobenzo[11,12]chryseno[5,6-b]azirine

The syntheses of the K-iraines (which are also benzo-bay-region derivatives) of chrysene ( 1 ) and benzo[g]-chrysene ( 2 ) are described. The preparation of 1a,11c-dihydrochryseno[5,6-b]azirine ( 5 ) was accomplished by treatment of 1a,11c-dihydrochryseno[5,6-b]oxirene ( 4 ) with sodium azide, and the mixture of trans-azido-alcohols 6 and 7 , so formed, was either cyclized with triethyl phosphite, or converted into E-6-azido-5-chloro-5,6-dihydrochrysene ( 8 ) followed by lithium aluminium hydride reduction. The synthesis of 1a,13c-dihydrobenzo-[11,12]chryseno[5,6-b]azirine ( 12 ) included the transformation of the corresponding oxide 11 into a mixture of E-9-azido-9,10-dihydrobenzo[g]chrysen-10-ol ( 13 ) and E-10-azido-9,10-dihydrobenzo[g]chrysen-9-ol ( 14 ), and reaction with tri-n-butylphosphine to give a mixture of Staudinger adducts 15 and 16 that underwent thermal decomposition into 12 upon heating in boiling dichloromethane.     

On triazoles. XXVII . The acylation,carbamoylation and thiocarbamoylation of tetrahydropyrido[4,3-d][1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidinones

Isomeric 6,7,8,9-tetrahydropyrido[4,3-d][1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine-5(10H)-ones 3 , and -6(10H)-ones 4 were synthesised. Isomers 3 were converted to their 7-acyl 7 , 7-carbamoyl 8 and 7-thiocarbamoyl 9 derivatives.     

Synthesis of carbazoles via an intramolecular cyclization of 2-(6-substituted 3(Z)-hexen-1,5-diynyl)anilines and their related molecules

Various 2-(6-substituted 3(Z)-hexen-1,5-diynyl)anilines 1a-g were treated with potassium tert-butoxide or potassium 3-ethylpentanoxide in NMP at 60 degrees C for 2 h to give the corresponding 5-substituted carbazoles 2a-g in 36-65% yields together with indoles 9a-g in 21-40% yields, respectively. Exposing the trifluoroacetamide analogues 10h-k under the same reaction conditions gave the carbazoles 2b-e in 37-57% yields and indoles 9b-e in 15-27% yields. Subsequent cyclizations of acetamide analogues 10a-g gave carbazoles 2a-g in 53-86% yields.     

On the reaction between 3H-1,2-dithiolo[3,4-b]pyridine-3-thione and primary alkyl and arylalkylamines

3H-1,2-Dithiolo[3,4-b]pyridine-3-thione ( 10 ) reacts with primary alkylamines to give 1,2-dihydro-2-thioxo-3-pyridinecarbothioamides 11a-g and two minor products. Isothiazolo[5,4-b]pyridine-3(2H)-thiones 12a-g and 3-imino-3H-1,2-dithiolo[3,4-b]pyridines 13a-g were isolated and characterized. Further investigations allowed the synthesis of 12 and 13 in good yield.     

Synthesis of 4H-benzo[a]phenoselenazin-4-ones as near-ir dyes

The condensation of 2-bromo- or 2, 6-dibromo-4, 8-bis(alkylamino)-1, 5-naphthoquinones with zinc 2-amino-benzeneselenolates gave 1, 5-bis(alkylamino)-4H-benzo[a]phenoselenazin-4-one and the 3- and/or 10-substituted compounds. These phenoselenazone derivatives absorb nearly infrared light and can be used as optical recording media for a laser beam.
