Heterocycles containing nitrogen and sulfur. Part 49. Synthesis of derivatives of new heterocyclic systems: 1,2-Dioxocyclopenta(hexa)[g]oxazolidino-[3,2-f] pyrimido[4,5-b][1,4]thiazine, 1,2-dioxocyclopenta(hexa)-[g] imidazolidino[3,2-f]pyrimido[4,5-b][1,4]thiazine, and 1,2-oxazino[5,4-g]pyrimidino[4,5-b][1,4]thiazine

The reaction of 4-methoxy-5-amino-6-mercaptopyrimidine with 2-oxo-1-chlorocyclopentyl(hexyl)glyoxalate esters gave derivatives of the previously unknown tetracyclic systems 1,2-dioxocyclopenta (hexa)[g]oxazolidino[3,2-f]pyrimido[4,5-b][1,4]thiazines, which are transformed by ammonium acetate into derivatives of 1,2-dioxocyclopenta(hexa) [g]imidazolidino[3,2-f]pyrimido[4,5-b]-[1,4] thiazines. Derivatives of the new tricyclic 1-oxazino [5,4-g]pyrimido[4,5-b][1,4]thiazine system were obrtained by reaction of 6-carbethoxy-7-acetylpyrimido [4,5-b] [1,4] thiazines with hydroxylamine.     

Condensed isoquinolines 27*. Synthesis and oxidation reactions of 5,13-dihydro-11H-isoquino[3,2-<Emphasis Type="Italic">b</Emphasis>]quinazolin-11-one

Condensation of 2-(cyanomethyl)benzoic acid with 2-aminobenzylamine gave 6,11-dihydro-13H-isoquino[3,2-b]quinazolin-11-one. Its oxidation in nitrobenzene led to the formation of 5,13,5′,13′-hexahydro[6,6′]bi[isoquino[3,2-b]quinazoline]-11,11′-dione, but in dichlorobenzene in the presence of elemental sulfur and iodine it gave the rearrangement product 6H-dibenzo[b,f][1,8]naphthyridin-5-one. __________ Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No.2, 273–279, February, 2008.     

First nucleophilic aromatic substitution of annelated pyrazole.

3-Chloropyrazolo[3,4-c]quinoline 5, 3-chloropyrazolo[3,4-c]isoquinoline 6, 1,2-dihydro-1,2-dimethylpyrazolo[3,4-c]quinolin-3-one 8, and 1,2-dihydro-1,2-dimethylpyrazolo[3,4-c]isoquinolin-3-one 10 were obtained by acid-induced nucleophilic aromatic substitution (S(N)H) of H-3 in N-hydroxypyrazolo[3,4-c]quinoline 1b and in N-hydroxy pyrazolo[3,4-c]isoquinoline 3b. In the acid-induced chlorination, 3b was far more reactive than 1b, whereas the related N-hydroxypyrazolo[4,3-c]quinoline 2b and N-hydroxypyrazolo[4,3-c]isoquinoline 4b were completely unreactive toward S(N)H under identical conditions.     

An efficient synthesis of novel benzo[b]pyrido[3',2':4,5] thieno[2,3-e][1,6]naphthy-ridine-8-ones

An efficient method for the synthesis of novel benzo[b]pyrido[3',2':4,5] thieno[2,3-e][1,6] naphthyridine-8-one derivatives has been developed using a Pictet-Spengler reaction between 4-(3-aminothieno[2,3-b]pyridin-2-yl)quinoline-2-ones, which could be obtained from the alkylation of 4-bromomethylquinoline-2-ones with 3-cyanopyridine-2-thione followed by a Thorpe-Ziegler isomerization, and aromatic aldehydes under p-TsOH as catalysis in good yields.     

Concise synthesis and anti-HIV activity of pyrimido[1,2-c][1,3]benzothiazin-6-imines and related tricyclic heterocycles

3,4-Dihydro-2H,6H-pyrimido[1,2-c][1,3]benzothiazin-6-imine (PD 404182) is a virucidal heterocyclic compound active against various viruses, including HCV, HIV, and simian immunodeficiency virus. Using facile synthetic approaches that we developed for the synthesis of pyrimido[1,2-c][1,3]benzothiazin-6-imines and related tricyclic derivatives, the parallel structural optimizations of the central 1,3-thiazin-2-imine core, the benzene part, and the cyclic amidine part of PD 404182 were investigated. Replacement of the 6-6-6 pyrimido[1,2-c][1,3]benzothiazin-6-imine framework with 5-6-6 or 6-6-5 derivatives led to a significant loss of anti-HIV activity, and introduction of a hydrophobic group at the 9- or 10-positions improved the potency. In addition, we demonstrated that the PD 404182 derivative exerts anti-HIV effects at an early stage of viral infection.     

Thermolysis of benzannulated enyne-carbodiimides. Application in the synthesis of pyrido[1',2':1,2]pyrimido[4,5-b]indoles and related heteroaromatic compounds

Several derivatives of the pyrido[1',2':1,2]pyrimido[4,5-b]indoles 4 and the pyrazino[1',2':1,2]pyrimido[4,5-b]indoles 14 were synthesized by treatment of the benzannulated enyne-isocyanates 8 with the iminophosphoranes 9 and 13, respectively, for the aza-Wittig reaction followed by thermolysis. The reaction presumably proceeds through an initial formation of the corresponding benzannulated enyne-carbodiimides, such as 10, followed by a formal intramolecular hetero Diels-Alder reaction. Surprisingly, when the iminophosphorane 17 was used for condensation with 8, the expected pyrimido[1',6':1,2]pyrimido[4,5-b]indoles 16 were not obtained. Instead, the isomeric pyrimido[6',1':2,3]pyrimido[4,5-b]indoles 21 were isolated. Presumably, an alternative reaction pathway involving an initial [2 + 2] cycloaddition reaction to form 19 followed by ring opening could lead to 20 and, after an intramolecular radical-radical coupling, 21. Treatment of the urea derivatives 24 with dibromotriphenylphosphorane also produced in situ the benzannulated enyne-carbodiimides 25, which on thermolysis gave the isoquinolino[2',1':1,2]pyrimido[4,5-b]indoles 26. Methylation of 4a, 14a, and 26a with methyl iodide occurred exclusively at the site of the indolo nitrogen. The planar geometry of those novel heteroaromatic compounds, resembling many DNA-binding agents, makes them potential candidates as DNA intercalators.

The key synthetic step involves an intramolecular Friedel-Crafts reaction of acid chlorides such as isoindole-1-acetyl chlorides (4), the acids (3) of which were prepared starting with 2-arylisoindole-1,3(2H)-diones (2-arylphthalimides) (1). The protective effects of isoindolo[2,1-a]quinoline derivatives (19 and 20) against N2-induced hypoxia were examined. Among them, 6-(diethylaminomethyl)isoindolo[2,1-a]quinoline-5,11(5H)-dio ne (19b) showed the most potency.

Oxidation of the hydrobromide of 6,11-dihydro-13H-isoquino[3,2-b]quinazolin-13-one with dimethyl sulfoxide leads to 11-hydroxy-11H-isoquino[3,2-b]quinazoline-6,13-dione, and with hydrogen peroxide to the hydrobromide of 2-[(4-oxo-3,4-dihydro-2-quinazolinyl)carbonyl]benzoic acid.
