Stereoselective Synthesis of [5‐[4,4,4,4′,4′,4′‐Hexafluoro‐N‐(2‐hydroxyethoxy)‐D‐valine]]‐ and [5‐[4,4,4,4′,4′,4′‐Hexafluoro‐N‐(2‐hydroxyethoxy)‐L‐valine]cyclosporin A

Addition of various amines to the 3,3‐bis(trifluoromethyl)acrylamides 10a and 10b gave the tripeptides 11a – 11f , mostly as mixtures of epimers (Scheme 3). The crystalline tripeptide 11f ₂ was found to be the N‐terminal (2‐hydroxyethoxy)‐substituted (R,S,S)‐ester HOCH₂CH₂O‐D ‐Val(F₆)‐MeLeu‐Ala‐O^tBu by X‐ray crystallography. The C‐terminal‐protected tripeptide 11f ₂ was condensed with the N‐terminus octapeptide 2b to the depsipeptide 12a which was thermally rearranged to the undecapeptide 13a (Scheme 4). The condensation of the epimeric tripeptide 11f ₁ with the octapeptide 2b gave the undecapeptide 13b directly. The undecapeptides 13a and 13b were fully deprotected and cyclized to the [5‐[4,4,4,4′,4′,4′‐hexafluoro‐N‐(2‐hydroxyethoxy)‐D ‐valine]]‐ and [5‐[4,4,4,4′,4′,4′‐hexafluoro‐N‐(2‐hydroxyethoxy)‐L ‐valine]]cyclosporins 14a and 14b , respectively (Scheme 5). Rate differences observed for the thermal rearrangements of 12a to 13a and of 12b to 13b are discussed.

Reactions of O‐aryl dihydrazinothiophosphinates ( 4, 5 ) or O,O′‐diarylhydrazinothio‐phosphonates ( 2 ) with glycosyl isocyanates ( 6 ) gave corresponding N‐(glycosylthioureylene)‐aminothiophosphonic and ‐diaminothiophosphinic O‐aryl esters. Their structures were confirmed by IR, ¹H NMR, ³¹P NMR, MS and elemental analyses.     

Polycyclic N‐Heterocyclic Compounds. Part 84: Reaction of N‐(pyrido[3′,2′:4,5]thieno[3,2‐d]pyrimidin‐4‐yl)amidines or N‐(pyrido[2′,3′:4,5]furo[3,2‐d]pyrimidin‐4‐yl)amidines with Hydroxylamine Hydrochloride

The reactions of nine N‐(pyrido[3′,2′:4,5]thieno[3,2‐d]pyrimidin‐4‐yl)amidines ( 3 ) with hydroxylamine hydrochloride produced new cyclization products. These were formed via ring cleavage of the pyrimidine component followed by a 1,2,4‐oxadiazole‐forming ring closure to give N‐[2‐([1,2,4]oxadiazol‐5‐yl)thieno[2,3‐b]pyridin‐3‐yl]formamide oximes ( 11 ). Reaction of six N‐(pyrido[2′,3′:4,5]furo[3,2‐d]pyrimidin‐4‐yl)amidines ( 12 ) with hydroxylamine hydrochloride gave similar results. Effects of the newly synthesized compounds on pentosidine formation were also evaluated.

Multicomponent Reactions for Diverse Synthesis of N‐Substituted and NH 1,4‐Dihydropyridines

The multicomponent reactions of aldehydes, electron deficient alkynes and amines have been successfully performed to yield a number of symmetrical 2,6‐unsubstituted 1,4‐dihydropyridines (1,4‐DHPs). This method has been found generally applicable for the synthesis of both N‐substituted and N‐unsubstituted 1,4‐DHPs by employing secondary amine to activate the alkyne component via enaminoester intermediates. The present method runs through an enamine type activation, which is different from the known approach employing AcOH as solvent.     

A Facile and Efficient Synthesis of Arylsulfonamido‐Substituted 1,5‐Benzodiazepines and N‐[2‐(3‐Benzoylthioureido)aryl]‐3‐oxobutanamide Derivatives

A facile and efficient synthesis of 1,5‐benzodiazepines with an arylsulfonamido substituent at C(3) is described. 1,5‐Benzodiazepine, derived from the condensation of benzene‐1,2‐diamine and diketene, reacts with an arylsulfonyl isocyanate via an enamine intermediate to produce the title compounds of potential synthetic and pharmacological interest in good yields (Scheme 1). In addition, reaction of benzene‐1,2‐diamine and diketene in the presence of benzoyl isothiocyanate leads to N‐[2‐(3‐benzoylthioureido)aryl]‐3‐oxobutanamide derivatives (Scheme 2). This reaction proceeds via an imine intermediate and ring opening of diazepine. The structures were corroborated spectroscopically (IR, ¹H‐ and ¹³C‐NMR, and EI‐MS) and by elemental analyses. A plausible mechanism for this type of cyclization is proposed (Scheme 3).     

Design,Synthesis and Biological Evaluation of Novel N‐(4‐([2,2′:5′,2′′‐Terthiophen]‐5‐yl)‐2‐methylbut‐3‐yn‐2‐yl) Benzamide Derivatives

On the basis of the principle of combination of active groups, a series of novel N‐(4‐([2,2′:5′,2′′‐terthiophen]‐5‐yl)‐2‐methylbut‐3‐yn‐2‐yl) benzamide derivatives were designed, synthesized and systematically evaluated for their antiviral activity against tobacco mosaic virus (TMV). The bioassay results showed that most of these compounds displayed good anti‐TMV activity, and some of them exhibited higher antiviral activity than commercial Ningnanmycin. Especially, compound 8e with excellent anti‐TMV activity (inactivation activity, 92.3%/500 µg·mL^?1; curative activity, 85.7%/500 µg·mL^?1 and protection activity, 64.7%/500 µg·mL^?1) emerged as a potential inhibitor of plant virus TMV. Quantitative structure‐activity relationship studies proved that the van der Waals volume (V) and electronic parameter (∑(∑σ_o+σ_p) and ∑σ_m) for the substituent R¹ were very important for antiviral activities in this class of compounds.     

Thermal Behavior of N,N＇Bis[N-（2,2,2-trinitroethyl）-N-nitro]ethylenediamine

The thermal behavior and kinetic parameters of the exothermic decomposition reaction of N‐N‐bis[N‐(2,2,2‐tri‐nitroethyl)‐N‐nitro]ethylenediamine in a temperature‐programmed mode have been investigated by means of differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The results show that kinetic model function in differential form, apparent activation energy E_a and pre‐exponential factor A of this reaction are 3(1 ‐α)^2/3, 203.67 kJ·mol^?1 and 10^20.61s^?1, respectively. The critical temperature of thermal explosion of the compound is 182.2 °C. The values of ΔS^≠ ΔH^≠ and ΔG^≠ of this reaction are 143.3 J·mol^?1·K^?1, 199.5 kJ·mol^?1 and 135.5 kJ·mol^?1, respectively.

Bis[N‐(4‐nitrophenyl)thiobenzamidato]mercury(II)

The molecule of the title compound, [Hg(C₁₃H₉N₂O₂S)₂], has approximate twofold rotation symmetry, with the Hg atom in an essentially linear two‐coordinate HgS₂ environment supported by secondary π interactions with the nitrophenyl rings of both ligands. The ligands are in the imine–thiolate rather than the amine–thione tautomeric form.     

Highly stable electrochromic polyamides based on N,N‐bis(4‐aminophenyl)‐N′,N′‐bis(4‐tert‐butylphenyl)‐1,4‐phenylenediamine

A new triphenylamine‐containing aromatic diamine monomer, N,N‐bis(4‐aminophenyl)‐N′,N′‐bis(4‐tert‐butylphenyl)‐1,4‐phenylenediamine, was synthesized by an established synthetic procedure from readily available reagents. A novel family of electroactive polyamides with di‐tert‐butyl‐substituted N,N,N′,N′‐tetraphenyl‐1,4‐phenylenediamine units were prepared via the phosphorylation polyamidation reactions of the newly synthesized diamine monomer with various aromatic or aliphatic dicarboxylic acids. All the polymers were amorphous with good solubility in many organic solvents, such as N‐methyl‐2‐pyrrolidinone (NMP) and N,N‐dimethylacetamide, and could be solution‐cast into tough and flexible polymer films. The polyamides derived from aromatic dicarboxylic acids had useful levels of thermal stability, with glass‐transition temperatures of 269–296 °C, 10% weight‐loss temperatures in excess of 544 °C, and char yields at 800 °C in nitrogen higher than 62%. The dilute solutions of these polyamides in NMP exhibited strong absorption bands centered at 316–342 nm and photoluminescence maxima around 362–465 nm in the violet‐blue region. The polyamides derived from aliphatic dicarboxylic acids were optically transparent in the visible region and fluoresced with a higher quantum yield compared with those derived from aromatic dicarboxylic acids. The hole‐transporting and electrochromic properties were examined by electrochemical and spectro‐electrochemical methods. Cyclic voltammograms of the polyamide films cast onto an indium‐tin oxide‐coated glass substrate exhibited two reversible oxidation redox couples at 0.57–0.60 V and 0.95–0.98 V versus Ag/AgCl in acetonitrile solution. The polyamide films revealed excellent elcterochemical and electrochromic stability, with a color change from a colorless or pale yellowish neutral form to green and blue oxidized forms at applied potentials ranging from 0.0 to 1.2 V. These anodically coloring polymeric materials showed interesting electrochromic properties, such as high coloration efficiency (CE = 216 cm²/C for the green coloring) and high contrast ratio of optical transmittance change (ΔT%) up to 64% at 424 nm and 59% at 983 nm for the green coloration, and 90% at 778 nm for the blue coloration. The electroactivity of the polymer remains intact even after cycling 500 times between its neutral and fully oxidized states. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Synthesis and Cytotoxicity of 6‐Pyrrolidinyl‐2‐(2‐Substituted Phenyl)‐4‐Quinazolinones

In our continuing search for potential anticancer candidates, 2‐(3‐methoxyphenyl)‐6‐pyrrolidinyl‐4‐quinazolinone ( JJC‐1 ) was selected as the lead compound. Starting 5‐pyrrolidinyl‐2‐aminobenzamide was prepared using standard methodology from 5‐chloro‐2‐nitrobenzoic acid by reaction with SOCl₂, NH₃, pyrrolidine, and H₂. The starting benzamide then was reacted with 2‐substituted benzaldehyde or benzoyl chloride in N,N‐dimethylacetamide (DMAC) in the presence of NaHSO₃ at 150 °C. Thermal cyclodehydration/dehydrogenation gave the target 6‐pyrrolidinyl‐2‐(2‐substituted phenyl)‐4‐quinazolinones ( 15–22 ). These target compounds were assayed for their cytotoxicity in vitro against six cancer cell lines, including human monocytic leukemia cells (U937), mouse monocytic leukemia cells (WEHI‐3), human hepatoma cells (HepG2, Hep3B) and human lung carcinoma cells (A549, CH27). Most of them exhibited significant cytotoxic effect toward U937 and WEHI‐3 cells, with EC₅₀ values ranging from 0.30 to 10.10 μM. Compound 19 was investigated further for its action mechanisms. Preliminary findings indicated that compound 19 induced G2/M arrest and apoptosis on U937 cells.     

Synthesis of [3,3′(4H,4′H)‐Bi‐2H‐1,3‐oxazine]‐4,4′‐diones and Their Hydrolysis

The [3,3′(4H,4′H)‐bi‐2H‐1,3‐oxazine]‐4,4′‐diones 3a – 3i were obtained by [2+4] cycloaddition reactions of furan‐2,3‐diones 1a – 1c with aromatic aldazines 2a – 2d (Scheme 1). So, new derivatives of bi‐2H‐1,3‐oxazines and their hydrolysis products, 3,5‐diaryl‐1H‐pyrazoles 4a – 4c (Scheme 3), which are potential biologically active compounds, were synthesized for the first time.     

Synthesis and Structure of 2‐Substituted Thieno[3′,2′:5,6]pyrido[4,3‐d]pyrimidin‐4(3H)‐one Derivatives

A series of new 2‐substituted 3‐(4‐chlorophenyl)‐5,8,9‐trimethylthieno[3′,2′: 5,6]pyrido[4,3‐d]pyrimidin‐4(3H)‐ones 8 were synthesized via an aza‐Wittig reaction. Phosphoranylideneamino derivatives 6a or 6b reacted with 4‐chlorophenyl isocyanate to give carbodiimide derivatives 7a or 7b , respectively, which were further treated with amines or phenols to give compounds 8 in the presence of a catalytic amount of EtONa or K₂CO₃. The structure of 2‐(4‐chlorophenoxy)‐3‐(4‐chlorophenyl)‐5,8,9‐trimethylthieno[3′,2′: 5,6]pyrido[4,3‐d]pyrimidin‐4(3H)‐one ( 8j ) was comfirmed by X‐ray analysis.

The Synthesis of 2‐(Chromon‐2/3‐yl)‐3‐(5‐thione‐4‐hydro‐1,3,4‐thiadiazol‐2‐yl)‐4‐oxo‐thiazolidine

2‐Formylchromones and 3‐formylchromones as the first materials singly reacted with 2‐amino‐5‐mercapto‐1,3,4‐thiadiazole to give the corresponding Schiff bases, which on cyclocondensation with mercapto‐acetic acid in 1,4‐dioxane yielded target compounds named 4‐oxo‐thiazolidines. The structures of all the synthetic compounds were confirmed by elemental analysis and IR, ¹H NMR, LC‐MS (ESI) spectral data.     

Synthesis and characterization of organosoluble copolyimides based on 2,2‐Bis[4‐(4‐aminophenoxy)phenyl]propane, 2,2‐Bis[4‐(4‐aminophenoxy)phenyl]hexafluoropropane and a pair of commercial aromatic dianhydrides

Organosoluble homopolyimides (PIs) and copolyimides (CoPIs) were synthesized from 2,2‐bis[4‐(4‐aminophenoxy)phenyl]propane (BAPP) or 2,2‐bis[4‐(4‐aminophenoxy)phenyl]hexafluoropropane (6FBAPP) and six kinds of commercial aromatic dianhydrides (PMDA, II _a ; BTDA, II _b ; BPDA, II _c ; ODPA, II _d ; DSDA, II _e ; 6FDA, II _f ). Although BAPP and II _d∼f could prepare three kinds of soluble PIs ( III‐A _d∼f ), likewise 6FBAPP and II _c∼f could prepare four PIs ( III‐B _c∼f ), the insoluble PIs were synthesized from these two diamines and other dianhydrides. However, soluble CoPIs could be prepared by alternative copolycondensation from a pair of dianhydrides of soluble PIs and insoluble PIs in certain molar ratios (m₁/m₂). The ratios of m₁/m₂ of BAPP/PMDA series CoPIs ( IV _{m1(d–f)/m2a} ) ranged from 3–5, but ratios of 6FBAPP/PMDA series CoPIs ( V _{m1(c∼f)/m2a} ) decreased to 2–3. The m₁/m₂ of the BAPP/BTDA and 6FBAPP/BTDA series CoPIs were 2, while the BAPP/BPDA series were between 1–2. Composition, solubility, tensile properties and thermal properties of these CoPIs synthesized via a two‐stage thermal cyclodehydration were determined and were compared with their corresponding PIs. © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
