Studies on antiulcer drugs. III. Synthesis and antiulcer activities of imidazo[1,2-a]pyridinylethylbenzoxazoles and related compounds. A novel class of histamine H2-receptor antagonists.

A series of imidazo[1,2-a]pyridinylalkylbenzoxazole derivatives was synthesized and tested for histamine H2-receptor antagonist, gastric antisecretory and antiulcer activities. Some of 2-amino-6-[2-(imidazo[1,2-a]pyridin-2-yl)ethyl]benzoxazole derivatives were found to have good pharmacological activities. Among them, 2-amino-6-[2-(7-methoxy-3-methylimidazo[1,2-a]pyridin-2-yl)ethyl] benzoxazole (II-11) and 2-acetamido-6-[2-(7-methylimidazo[1,2-a]pyridin-2-yl)ethyl] benzoxazole (II-38) showed potent antisecretory and cytoprotective activity. The structure-activity relationships of these compounds are discussed.     

Syntheses of optically active tetrahydro-1H-pyrrolo[1,2-a]imidazol-2-ones and hexahydroimidazo[1,2-a]pyridin-2(3H)-ones

The reactions of (2S)-2-amino-2-substituted-N-(4-nitrophenyl)acetamides 16a-c, succindialdehyde (13), and benzotriazole afforded enantiopure (3S,5R,7aR)-5-(1H-1,2,3-benzotriazol-1-yl)-3-substituted-1-(4-nitrophenyl)tetrahydro-1H-pyrrolo[1,2-a]imidazol-2-ones 17a-c, which were converted by sodium borohydride into (3S,7aR)-3-substituted-1-(4-nitrophenyl)tetrahydro-1H-pyrrolo[1,2-a]imidazol-2-ones 18a-c. Chiral (2S)-2-amino-2-substituted-N-(4-methylphenyl)acetamides 12a-d, easily prepared in two steps from N-Boc-alpha-amino acids 10a-d, similarly reacted with glutaraldehyde (20) and benzotriazole to generate 5-benzotriazolyl-3-substituted-hexahydroimidazo[1,2-a]pyridin-2(3H)-ones 21a-d, which were converted by sodium borohydride directly into optically active 3-substituted-hexahydroimidazo[1,2-a]pyridin-2(3H)-ones 22a-d.     

Novel Synthesis of 1,2,3,4-Tetrahydropyrazino[1,2-a]indoles

Condensation of 2-(3-methyl-1H-indol-1-yl)ethylamine (7) with benzotriazole and formaldehyde gave 2-(1H-1,2,3-benzotriazol-1-ylmethyl)-10-methyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyrazino[1,2-a]indole (8) in 96% yield. Nucleophilic substitutions of the benzotriazolyl group in 8 with NaBH(4), NaCN, triethyl phosphite, allylsilanes, silyl enol ether and Grignard reagents afforded novel 10-methyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyrazino[1,2-a]indoles 9a-i in 78-95% yields.     

Synthese von imidazo[1,5-a]- und pyrazino[1,2-a]benzimidazolen

1,2-Dihydro-3H-imidazo[1,5-a]benzimidazoles (6), 1-oxo-1,2-dihydro-3H-imidazo[ 1,5-a] benzimidazoles (8), 3H-imidazo[1,5-a]benzimidazoles (7), 3-oxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-pyrazino[1,2-a] benzimidazoles (12), and 3,4-dioxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-pyrazino[1,2-a]benzinudazoles (13) were synthesized from 2-α-aminobenzyl (benzhydryl)-benzimidazoles (2).     

Studies on antiulcer drugs. IV. Synthesis and antiulcer activities of imidazo[1,2-a]pyridinylethylbenzothiazoles and -benzimidazoles.

A series of 6-[2-(imidazo[1,2-a]pyridin-2-yl)ethyl]benzothiazoles (II) and benzimidazole analogues (III) was synthesized and tested for histamine H2-receptor antagonist, gastric antisecretory and anti-stress ulcer activity. A benzimidazole derivative (IIIa) exhibited strong antisecretory activity, whereas the corresponding benzothiazole derivative (IIb) lacked this potency in in vivo test. In contrast to compound IIIa, however, compound IIb demonstrated good inhibition against stress induced ulcer. The structure-activity relationships of these compounds are discussed.     

Procedure for the parallel preparation of 3-imidazo[1,2-a]pyridin-3-yl-propionic acid derivatives involving Meldrum's acid

We describe here an efficient and versatile method for the preparation of 3-imidazo[1,2-a]pyridin-3-yl-propionic acids involving, as a key step, a three-component Michael-type reaction. The extended and validated procedure allowed us to prepare various acids with three diversity points. The method was easily adaptable for parallel synthesis and an approximately 2000-membered 3-imidazo[1,2-a]pyridin-3-yl-propionic acid amide library was prepared in a semiautomated manner.     

2,3,5,8(1)-Tetrahydroimidazo[1,2-a]pyrimidine-2,5-dione derivatives

The corresponding ylidene, azomethine, and azo derivatives of 2,3,5,8(1)-tetrahydroimidazo [1,2-a]pyrimidine-2,5-dione were synthesized by reaction of 7-methyl-and 6-bromo-7-methyl-2,3,5,8(1)-tetrahydroimidazo[1,2-a]pyrimidine-2,5-diones with aldehydes, insatin, aromatic nitroso compounds, and arenediazonium salts. Ylidene derivatives of 7-methyl-2,3,5,8(1)-tetrahydroimidazo[1,2-a]pyrimidine-2,5-dione were also obtained by reaction of 2-amino-4-methyl-6-oxo-1,6-dihydro-1-pyrimidylacetic acid with carbonyl compounds.     

Research on imidazo[1,2-a]benzimidazole derivatives

The debenzylation of N-benzylimidazo[1,2-a]benzimidazoles with sodium in liquid ammonia was studied. The debenzylation of the 2-phenyl-substituted derivative is accompanied by hydrogenation of the outer imidazole ring to give 2-phenyl-2,3-dihydro-1H-imidazo[1,2-a]benzimidazole, the alkylation of which in alkaline media and neutral media, respectively, gives the 1-methyl derivative and the 9-methyl derivative. The 1-methyl derivative was subjected to quaternization and bromination; the latter proceeds in the condensed benzene ring. Debenzylation of the 2-methyl derivative of imidazo[1,2-a]benzimidazole is not accompanied by hydrogenation but gives 2-methyl-1(9)H-imidazo[1,2-a]benzimidazole.See [1] for communication VI.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 6, pp. 791–796, June, 1973.     

A novel synthesis of arylpyrrolo[1,2-a]pyrazinone derivatives

Some aryl-2-methyl-1-pyrrolo[1,2-a]pyrazinones were designed and prepared to study the Structure-Activity Relationships (SAR) of pyrrolo[1,2-a]pyrazinone derivatives. With methyl pyrrole-2-carboxylate as the starting material, the title compounds were prepared through N-alkylation and two novel cyclizations. Eleven aryl-2-methyl-1- pyrrolo[1,2-a]pyrazinone derivatives not previously reported in the literature are presented in this paper. Some of them show potent anti-inflammatory and analgesic activities.     

11. Anil-Synthese. 16. Mitteilung. Über die Herstellung von styryl-derivaten des 2-phenyl-imidazo [1,2-a]pyridins

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.     

Novel routes to 1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyrrolo[1,2-a]pyrazines and 5,6,9,10,11,11a-hexahydro-8H-pyrido[1,2-a]pyrrolo[2,1-c]pyrazines

Condensation reactions of benzotriazole and 2-(pyrrol-1-yl)-1-ethylamine (1) with formaldehyde and glutaric dialdehyde, respectively, afforded intermediates 2 and 6. Subsequent nucleophilic substitutions of the benzotriazole group in 2 and 6 with Grignard reagents, sodium cyanide, and sodium borohydride gave 1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyrrolo[1,2-a]pyrazines 3a-e, 4, 5 and 5,6,9,10,11,11a-hexahydro-8H-pyrido[1,2-a]pyrrolo[2,1-c]pyrazines 7a-c, 8, 9, respectively, in good yields.     

Research on imidazo[1,2-a]benzimidazole derivatives.

3-Alkoxycarbonyl-2-arylimidazo[1,2-a]benzimidazoles were synthesized by alkaline cleavage of 3-trichloromethyl ketones of the imidazo[1,2-a]benzimidazole series, which are formed by acylation of this three-ring system with trichloroacetyl chloride. The same compounds were also obtained by esterification of the corresponding 3-carboxylic acid. The haloform reaction with 3-acetyl-2-phenylimidazo[1,2-a]benzimidazole proceeds anomalously and leads to bis(9-methy1-2-phenylimidazo[1,2-a]benzimidazo1-3-yl)-2-buten-1,4-dione, the structure of which was confirmed by independent synthesis.See [1] for communication XV.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 4, pp. 522–525, April, 1978.     

NMR spectroscopic structure elucidation of the products of the reaction of 3-(3-aryl-3-oxopropenyl)- chromen-4-ones with 1,2-phenylenediamine

The reaction of 3-(3-aryl-3-oxopropenyl)chromen-4-ones with 1,2-phenylenediamine resulted in the unexpected formation of 10a-aryl-1,2,10,10a-tetrahydrobenzo-[4,5]-imidazo[1,2-a]pyridin-3-yl(2-hydroxyphenyl)-1-methanones. Their structure elucidation and complete 1H and 13C assignments have been performed by a combination of various one- and two-dimensional NMR experiments.

1-(2-(4,5-Dihydro-3-(4-methyl-2-phenylthiazol-5-yl)-5-phenylpyrazol-1-yl)-4-substituted thiazol-5-yl)-2-phenyldiazene were synthesized from hydrazonoyl halides and 3-(4-methyl-2-phenyl-1,3-thiazol-5-yl)-5-phenyl-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazole-1-carbothioamide in ethanolic triethylamine. Also, pyrazolo[5,1-a]pyrimidines, 2,3,6-trisubstituted pyridines, and pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyridazines were obtained from sodium salt of 3-hydroxy-1-(4-methyl-2-phenylthiazol-5-yl)prop-2-en-1-one and different heterocyclic amines. All structures of the newly synthesized compounds were elucidated by elemental analysis, spectral data, and alternative synthetic route whenever possible. The newly synthesized compounds were tested towards different microorganisms.

A new synthetic strategy for the synthesis of novel 3-(3-(3-methyl-4-nitroisoxazol-5-yl)-2-phenyl-1-(5,7-diaryl-7H-thiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidin-3-yl)propyl)-5,7-diaryl-7H-thiazolo[3,2-a] pyrimidines(7a-i) analogues is described.Reaction of 3-(2(3-methyl-4-nitroisoxazole-5-yl)-1-phenylethyl)pentane-2,4-dione(3) with two moles of thiourea in presence of iodine and CuO afforded 4-(1-(2-aminothiazol-4-yl)-3-(3-methyl-4-nitroisoxazol-5-yl)-2-aryl propyl-thiazol-2-amine(5).Compound 5 on reaction with two moles of chalcone(6) furnished novel 3-(3-(3-methyl-4-nitroisoxazol-5-yl)-2-phenyl-1-(5,7-diaryl-7H-thiazolo[3,2a]pyrimidin-3-yl)propyl)-5,7-diaryl-7H-thiazolo[3,2-a] pyrimidines(7a-i).     

Diazepines I. A new synthesis of 6-phenyl-4H-imidazo[1,2-a] [1,4] benzodiazepines

6-Phenyl-4H-imidazo[1,2-a][1,4]benzodiazepines are obtained on reaction of 2-amino-7-chloro-5-phenyl-3H-1,4-benzodiazepine with α-bromoketones. In the cases of 3-bromo-2-butan-one and of 3-bromo-2-pentanone, 2-alkylimidazobenzodiazepine but not 1,2-dialkyl compound is the major product. A mechanism for the imidazole ring formation is presented.     

Synthesis and some properties of N-unsubstituted pyrrolo[2,1-c]-1,3-diazacycloalkano[1,2-a]pyrazinones

Reactions of methyl 2-(2-formyl-1H-pyrrol-1-yl)alkanoates with unsubstituted aliphatic 1,2-, 1,3-, and 1,4-diamines gave N-unsubstituted pyrrolo[2,1-c]-1,3-diazacycloalkano[1,2-a]-pyrazinones. Some of them show ring-chain tautomerism. Transformations of these compounds led to a number of novel heterocyclic systems: 2,10-dihydro-3H,5H-imidazo[1,2-a]-pyrrolo[1,2-d]pyrazines, 2,3,4,11-tetrahydro-6H-pyrrolo[1??,2??:4,5]pyrazino[1,2-a]pyrimidines, 1,2,3,5,6,10b-hexahydroimidazo[1,2-a]pyrrolo[2,1-c]pyrazines, 1,3,4,6,7,11b-hexahydro-2H-pyrrolo[2??,1??:3,4]pyrazino[1,2-a]pyrimidines, and 2,3,4,5,6,7-hexahydro-1H-pyrrolo[2,1-c]-[1,4,7]triazacycloundecin-8(9H)-one.

Imino-bridged heterocycles. I. A derivative of benzo[5,6]cyclohepta[1,2-b]pyridin-5,11-imine

The current interest in structures that contain a tricyclic framework with a nitrogen bridged central ring has prompted us to examine the synthesis of imino-bridged benzocycloheptapyridines. Treatment of 5,6-trans-dibromobenzo[5,6]cyclohepta[1,2-b]pyridin-11-one with anhydrous methyl amine in THF produced 6-β-bromo-5,6-dihydro-11α-hydroxy-12-methyl-11H-benzo[5,6]cyclohepta[1,2-b]pyridin-5,11-imine, the first example of the desired bridged derivatives.     

Synthesis of 1-(1,3-dialkyl-2-oxo-2,3-dihydro-1<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>-imidazo-[4,5-<Emphasis Type="Italic">b</Emphasis>]pyridin-5-yl)-5-oxopyrrolidine-3-carboxylic acids

Nitration of 2,3-dihydro-1H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-2-one gave its 5-nitro derivative which was subjected to alkylation with dimethyl sulfate, diethyl sulfate, and benzyl(dimethyl)phenylammonium chloride. The resulting 1,3-dimethyl-, 1,3-diethyl-, and 1,3-dibenzyl-5-nitro-2,3-dihydro-1H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-2-ones were reduced to the corresponding 1,3-dialkyl-5-amino-2,3-dihydro-1H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-2-ones, and the latter reacted with itaconic acid to produce 1-(1,3-dialkyl-2-oxo-2,3-dihydro-1H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-5-yl)-5-oxopyrrolidine-3-carboxylic acids. 1-(2-Oxo-2,3-dihydro-1H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-5-yl)-5-oxopyrrolidine-3-carboxylic acid was obtained by analogous reaction with 5-amino-2,3-dihydro-1H-imidazo[4,5-b]-pyridin-2-one.
