In the present study, a novel 8,9,10,11-tetrahydro-7H,14H-benzo[4′,5′] thieno[2′,3′:4,5]-1,3-oxazino[3,2-b]isoquinoline-7,14-dione 5 was prepared by condensation of 2-amino-3-carbethoxy-4,5,6,7-tetrahydrobenzothiophene with homophthalic anhydride under microwave irradiation, followed by alkaline hydrolysis and cyclization using acetyl chloride. Compound 5 was further allowed to react with different nitrogen nucleophiles to get new tetrahydrobenzothienopyrimido isoquinolinone derivatives. The structures of the prepared compounds were elucidated by IR, ¹H-NMR, ¹³C-NMR, and mass spectroscopy. The newly prepared compounds were tested in vitro against a panel of two human tumor cell lines, namely, hepatocellular carcinoma (liver) HepG2, and mammary gland breast MCF-7. Almost all the tested compounds showed satisfactory activity.

The chemical behavior of 4,9-dimethoxy-5-oxo-5H-furo[3,2-g]chromene-6-carbonitrile ( 1 ) was investigated toward some acyclic and cyclic active methylene ketones namely acetylacetone, ethyl acetoacetate, ethyl benzoylacetate, acetoacetanilide, dimedone, indanedione, pyrazolidine-3,5-dione and 5-methyl-2-phenyl-2,4-dihydro-3H-pyrazol-3-one, barbituric acid and 1-allylthiobarbituric acid, and hippuric acid. A variety of novel heteroannulated furochromenopyridines were efficiently synthesized through a cascade reactions between 4,9-dimethoxy-5-oxo-5H-furo[3,2-g]chromene-6-carbonitrile ( 1 ) and the carbon nucleophilic reagents.

Synthesis of derivatives of pyrido[3′,2′:4,5]furo[3,2-c]isoquinoline heterocyclic system

An approach to the synthesis of derivatives of new heterocyclic system, pyrido[3′,2′:4,5]-furo[3,2-c]isoquinoline, was suggested.

Similarly, a condensation reaction of substituted 3-cyanopyridin-2(1H)-ones with 2-(chloromethyl)benzonitrile and subsequent treatment of the condensation product with potassium tert-butoxide gives substituted 5-aminopyrido[3′,2′:4,5]furo[3,2-c]-isoquinolines.

The oxidation of 3-aminothieno[2,3-b]pyridine-2-carboxamides with commercially available bleach leads to the formation of dimeric pyrrolo[2′,3′:4,5]thieno[2,3-b]pyridines (7a,14a-diamino-7,14-bis(aryl)-7,7a,14,14a-tetrahydro-6H,13H-pyrido[3″″,2″″:4?,5?]thieno[2?,3?:4″,5″]pyrrolo-[3″,4″:3′,4′]pyrrolo[2′,3′:4,5]thieno[2,3-b]pyridine-6,13-diones) in moderate yields (37–52%).     

Synthesis and photophysical properties of azuleno[1′,2′:4,5]pyrrolo[2,1-b]quinazoline-6,14-diones: Azulene analogs of tryptanthrin

Azulene analog of tryptanthrin, azuleno[1′,2′:4,5]pyrrolo[2,1-b]quinazoline-6,14-dione, was successfully prepared by the condensation reaction of azuleno[2,1-b]pyrrole-2,3-dione with isatoic anhydride in the presence of sodium hydride or diisopropylethylamine (DIPEA). Its 2-halo derivatives were also obtained in high yields by the condensation reaction with 5-haloisatoic anhydrides in the presence of DIPEA. Reactivity toward electrophilic reagents was revealed by halogenation with N-bromosuccinimide (NBS) or N-iodosuccinimide (NIS) to afford 12-halo derivatives in high yields. Among the halo derivatives, 2-iodo and 12-iodo derivatives were reactive enough to afford phenylethynyl derivatives under Pd-catalyzed Sonogashira cross-coupling conditions. Within the phenylethynyl derivatives, only 12-phenylethynyl derivative was transformed into its 1,1,4,4-tetracyanobutadiene (TCBD) derivative by the reaction with TCNE. Amphoteric redox properties of the novel azulene analogs of tryptanthrin were characterized by spectroscopic and voltammetric analyses.
