Synthesis of Substituted 4‐Aroyl‐1‐indanone and 5‐Aroyl‐1‐tetralone

Several substituted 4‐aroyl‐1‐indanones 2 and 5‐aroyl‐1‐tetralones 3 were prepared in good yields from 1‐indanones 1 via a series of reasonable transformations.     

Synthesis of substituted α-tetralones and substituted 1-naphthols via regioselective ring expansion of 1-acyl-1-indanol skeleton

Substituted 1-acyl-1-indanols were prepared using the corresponding readily commercially available substituted indanones as starting materials. Treatment of each 1-acyl-1-indanol derivative with sodium methoxide in hot methanol furnished a regiospecific 2-hydroxy-α-tetralone derivative, which was an α-keto rearrangement product. Each substituted 2-hydroxy-α-tetralone then underwent dehydration to afford the corresponding 1-naphthol derivative.     

5-germaspiro[4.4]nona-2,7-dienes

A novel series of bicyclic organogermanium derivatives: 5-germaspiro[4.4]nona-2,7-dienes have been prepared by reaction of 1,1-dihalogermacyclopent-3-enes with the appropriate conjugated diene and an alkali metal in a suitable organic solvent. The best results were obtained by using 1,1-dichlorogermacyclopentenes with isoprene or 2,3-dimethylbutadiene and lithium in 5/1 ether/tetrahydrofuran. Except for 2,3,7,8-tetramethyl-5-germaspiro[4.4]nona-2,7-diene, which is crystalline, the 5-germaspirononadienes are colourless liquids, which distil without decomposition under reduced pressure but which slowly polymerize on standing. In the mass spectra of all the spiradienes, the main peak corresponds to the loss of one ring, the less substituted in the case of unsymmetrical molecules. Attempts to obtain 5-germaspiro[4.4]nona-2,7-diene were unsuccessful.

A Systematic Investigation of Long-Range Couplings in the 1H NMR Spectra of Dimeric Indanones

 During the synthesis of methyl substituted indanones by intramolecular cyclization of 3-phenyl-propionic acids, dimerization led to by-products which can be considered as dimeric indanones. The proton NMR spectra of these compounds exhibit pronounced scalar couplings over up to seven bonds. A series of structures of the above type were investigated, and their NMR spectroscopic behaviour is discussed.

Transition metal catalyzed carboannulation of diazabicyclic alkenes with ambiphilic bifunctional reagents: a facile route towards functionalized indanones and indanols

Functionalized indanones are readily prepared in good to excellent yields by the Pd/Rh catalyzed carboannulation of bicyclic and tricyclic hydrazines with 2-iodobenzonitrile, 2-cyanophenylboronic acid and 2-formylphenylboronic acid. The reaction with 2-formylphenylboronic acid afforded 3,4-disubstituted cyclopentenes as minor product along with indanones under Rh catalyzed conditions, whereas indanols were obtained as the major product under Pd catalyzed conditions. The products obtained can be synthetically manipulated easily to pharmaceutically important molecules.     

Synthesis of a substituted tetrahydropyrimido[4,5-c][2,7]naphthyridine as a tricyclic 5-deaza nonclassical folate

Condensation of 2,6-diamino-4-hydroxypyrimidine with 1-benzoyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyrimidine-5-carboxal-dehyde (4) afforded a mixture of angular and linear tricyclic tetrahydropyrimidonaphthyridines. Separation of the mixture was affected by fractional precipitation. Condensation of 2,4,6-triaminopyrimidine with 1-benzoyl-4-chloro-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (5) was regiospecific and afforded only the substituted angular tetra-hydropyrimido[4,5-c][2,7]naphthyridine (2). The vinyl aldehyde 4 and the chlorovinyl aldehyde 5 were prepared by modifications of literature procedures.     

Synthesis of furo[2,3-c]-2,7-naphthyridine derivatives via domino heterocyclization reaction

2-Amino-4-cyanomethyl-6-dialkylamino-3,5-pyridinedicarbonitriles were found to react with substituted oxiranes yielding 5,6-diamino-8-dialkylamino-1,2-dihydrofuro[2,3-c]-2,7-naphthyridine-9-carbonitriles. The oxirane ring was shown to be opened selectively from the unsubstituted side and further cyclization occurred with participation of 3-CN, but not 5-CN of the starting pyridines. The furonaphthyridines obtained were converted into 2-dialkylamino-5-methyl-9,10-dihydro-4H-furo[2,3-c]pyrimido[4,5,6-ij]-2,7-naphthyridine-1-carbonitriles and 2-dialkylamino-5,6,9,10-tetrahydro-4H-spiro{furo[2,3-c]pyrimido[4,5,6-ij]-2,7-naphthyridine-5,1′-cyclohexane}-1-carbonitriles by treatment with acetic anhydride and cyclohexanone, respectively. The structure of prepared compounds was confirmed unambiguously by X-ray crystallographic study.     

Substituierte 9-Oxabicyclo[4.2.1]- und 9-Oxabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane III. neue ergiebige synthese von 2, 7-dioxatwistan und endo-2-hydroxy-9-oxabicyclo[3.3.1]nonen-(6)

Iodine cleavage of the [3.3.1]-iodomercuri compound 4 , easily prepared from cis, cis-cyclooctadiene-(1,5) by oxymercuration of the monoepoxide 1 (→ 3 ) followed by treatment with potassium iodide, leads to three isomeric iodides 6, 7 , and 8 , the [3.3.1]-exo-iodo isomer 8 being the predominant product. Intramolecular substitution in 8 opens an attractive new route to unsubstituted 2,7-dioxatwistane ( 19 ) [2], whereas dehydrohalogenation of 7 and 8 yields the unsaturated alcohol 17 [2], a suitable starting material for the preparation of substituted 2,7-dioxatwistanes [2], 2,7-dioxaisotwistanes ( e ) [2], and 2,8-dioxa-homotwistbrendanes ( f ).     

Synthesis of 2‐[4‐(Imidazolin‐2‐Ylideneamino)Benzyl]‐Indan‐1‐Ones as Novel Potent Prostacyclin Antagonists

Prostacyclin is involved in many pathological conditions, such as sensitization of inflammation induced pain and isovolumetic distention. Therefore, antagonism of prostacyclin action may be useful in the alleviation of these conditions. In this study, novel potent prostacyclin antagonists, 2‐[4‐(imidazolin‐2‐ylideneamino)benzyl]‐indan‐1‐ones were synthesized from their respective substituted indanones in three steps. The construction of the amino‐imidazole moiety of these derivatives is achieved by using in situ generation of chloro‐imidazole and reaction with their respective anilines. Thus, these N‐substituted 2‐imidazolines can be prepared safely and efficiently. Moreover, these compounds show potent prostacyclin antagonistic activity by inhibition of prostacyclin agonist induced ERK_1/2 phosphorylation in human erythroleukemia cells. Moreover, we observed an increase in activity with the increase in electro‐donating property of the substitution on the indanone aromatic ring. Prostacyclin antagonists with increased potency may be designed based on these findings. These compounds may also be invaluable tools for the study of the physiological functions of prostacyclin.

The resulting compounds showed strong photoluminescence in the blue region. The spectral parameters of unsymmetrically substituted 9-ethylcarbazoles with a donor-donor-acceptor conjugation type are determined by intramolecular interaction in the donor-acceptor fragment.
