Ultrasound accelerated synthesis of 2,3-(substituted)benzo-1,4-thiazino[5,6-b]-4H-9H-7- methyl-10-oxoquinolines (4), 7-substituted-2,2-dimethyl-2,3-dihydro-1H,10H-phenothiazin- 4-one (5), 4-substituted-3,9, 10-trihydro-11-oxo-quinolino[2,3-b]-1,3,4-thiadiazino[2,3-d]- 1,2,4-triazole (6), and 7,7-dimethyl-7,8-dihydro-3H,5H,6H-1,2,4-triazolo[3,4-b][1,3,4] benzothiadiazin-9-one (7) from carbostyril and dimedone using sulfur powder and iodine as a catalyst in THF is reported. The structures of the compounds have been elucidated on the basis of spectral and elemental analysis.     

Microwave assisted green chemical synthesis of novel spiro[indole-pyrido thiazines]: a system reluctant to be formed under thermal conditions

Spiro [3H-indole-3,2′-[4H] pyrido [3,2-e]-1,3-thiazine]-2,4′ (1H) diones, a class of previously unknown compound which does not form under conventional conditions, can be prepared by treatment of ‘in situ’ generated 3-indolylimine derivatives with 2-mercaptonicotinic acid under microwave irradiation in absence of any solvent or solid support in 85-92% yields in 3-8 min. The facile one pot reaction is generalized for a variety of ketones and amines to give pure pyrido [3,2-e] thiazine derivatives, which do not require further purification processes.     

ZrCl4/TMSCl as an Efficient Catalyst for Synthesis of 4,6‐Substituted 2‐Alkylthio‐6H‐1,3‐thiazines

4,6‐Substituted‐2‐alkylthio‐6H‐1,3‐thiazines were synthesized by the reaction of S‐alkyl dithiocarbamates and α, β‐unsaturated ketones in the presence of ZrCl₄/TMSCl. The procedure is simple and efficient and gives good to high yields of products.     

One-electron oxidation of toluidine blue. A pulse radiolysis study

The one-electron oxidation of toluidine blue by specific oxidising radicals such as Cl ₂ ⁻ , Tl(II), N₃, Br ₂ ⁻ etc. has been studied by employing the pulse radiolysis technique. The Br ₂ ⁻ radical was found to be less efficient in oxidising toluidine blue as compared to Cl ₂ ⁻ ., Tl⁺² and N₃. The semioxidised species exhibited only onepK _a indicating the presence of two conjugate acid-base forms whose spectral and kinetic features were evaluated. Reaction of OH radicals with the dye gave rise to a transient species which exhibited spectral and kinetic features different from that of the semioxidised species indicating that the mode of reaction of OH is different.     

Synthesis and Transformations of 3-Ethoxycarbonyl-2-(N-R-thioureido)thiophenes

3-Ethoxycarbonyl-2-(N-R-thioureido)-4,5,6,7-tetrahydrobenzo[b]thiophenes were obtained by the reaction of 2-amino-3-ethoxycarbonyl-4,5,6,7-tetrahydrobenzo[b]thiophene with isothiocyanates and of 3-ethoxycarbonyl-2-isothiocyanato-4,5,6,7-tetrahydrobenzo[b]thiophene with primary and secondary amines. The cyclization paths of the products leading to derivatives of thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidine and thieno[2,3-d]-1,3-thiazine were studied. The corresponding S-substituted derivatives were obtained by the alkylation of 3-R-2-thioxo-3,4,5,6,7,8-hexahydrobenzo[b]thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4-ones.     

Synthesis and antimicrobial activity of new derivatives of pyrano[4',3':4',5']pyrido[3',2':4,5]thieno[3,2-d]pyrimidine and new heterocyclic systems

Taking into account previously obtained biological results on some polyheterocyclic compounds (containing different heteroatoms) and in particular on several 8-amino-5-isopropyl-2,2-dimethyl-10-(methylthio)-1,4-dihydro-2H-pyrano[4’’,3’’:4’,5’]pyrido[3’,2’:4,5]thieno[3,2-d]pyrimidines Ia-v we have carried out the synthesis of twentyone 8-amino-5-isobutyl-2,2-dimethyl-10-(methylthio)-1,4-dihydro-2H-pyrano[4’’,3’’:4’,5’]pyrido[3’,2’:4,5]thieno[3,2-d]pyrimidines 6. Therefore we have slightly modified the structure of the previously studied I introducing at C-5 an isobutyl group instead of the previously examined isopropyl ones in order to see if this variation (changing a little the lipophilicity) will affect the biological activity. Furthermore thieno[3,2-d]pyrimidine-8-thione 7 and their S-alkylated 8 were synthesized. Finally by alkylation of 5-isobutyl-2,2-dimethyl-10-thioxo-1,4,10,11-tetrahydro-2H-pyrano[4'',3'':4',5']pyrido[3',2':4,5]thieno[3,2-d]pyrimidin-8(9H)-one 3 with alkyl dichlorides (bifunctional reagents) we realized the cyclization of a thiazole or thiazine ring on the [b] side of the pyrimidine ring with formation of the new condensed pentaheterocyclic systems: pyrano[4'',3'':4',5']pyrido[3',2':4,5]thieno[3,2-d][1,3]thiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidin-8-one 11 and pyrano[4''',3''':4'',5'']pyrido[3'',2'':4',5']thieno[3',2':4,5]pyrimido[2,1-b][1,3]thiazin-8-one 12. It was found that some of the synthesized compounds showed interesting antimicrobial activity (by agar diffusion method) against some gram-positive and gram-negative bacilli strains.     

Utilization of 2‐Chloronicotinonitrile in the Syntheses of Novel Fused Bicyclic and Polynuclear Heterocycles of Anticipated Antitumor Activity

Some of synthetic bicyclic and polynuclear heterocyclic compounds based on pyridine scaffold were tested as in vitro antitumor agents, and these compounds found to exhibit interesting activities. Fused heterocycles containing sulfur such as thienopyridine, pyridothiazine, and some related fused heterocycles as new ring systems were achieved. Bicyclic thienopyridine 6 and pyrido[3,2‐e][1,3]thiazin‐4(3H)‐one 7 exhibited good antitumor activities compared with 5‐fluorouracil.     

Ring-contraction from benzo[b][1,4]thiazines to benzo[d]thiazolines induced by oxygen

An unexpected ring-contraction from benzo[b]pyrazino[1,2-d][1,4]thiazine-1,4-diones (6) to benzo[4,5]thiazolo[3,2-a]pyrazine-1,4-diones (7) has been developed. The preliminary mechanistic studies showed the transformation contained two independent steps: the first step is the formation of a Michael adduct upon the addition of the protic solvent, in the presence of base, to the C-2-C-3 double bond of compound 6, and the second step is a ring-contraction induced by oxygen via the migration of sulfur atom from C-2 to C-3 position. And its scope is also studied.     

One‐pot synthesis of highly functionalized benzo [1,3] thiazine from isocyanides,aniline, and heterocumulene via Cu‐catalyzed intramolecular C‐H activation reactions

A one‐pot synthesis of functionalized benzo thiazine derivatives via a Cu‐catalyzed, multicomponent reaction of isocyanides, aniline, and heterocumulenes in acetonitrile at room temperature was developed. Transition metal‐catalyzed activation of C‐H bonds under mild copper‐catalytic reaction conditions, using simple and available starting materials, also obtaining a pure product with high yield without applying column chromatography are the major advantages of the applied method among the other ones used for this purpose. The structures are confirmed spectroscopically (¹H‐ and ¹³C‐NMR, IR, and EI‐MS) and through elemental analyses.

In this article, we showed the synthesis of new polycyclic aromatic compounds, such as thienotriazolopyrimidinones, N-(thienotriazolopyrimidine) acetamide, 2-mercapto-thienotriazolo-pyrimidinones, 2-(((thieno-triazolopyrimidine) methyl) thio) thieno-triazolopyrimidines, thieno-pyrimidotriazolo-thiazines, pyrrolo-triazolo-thienopyrimidines, thienopyrimido-triazolopyrrolo-quinoxalines, thienopyrimido-triazolo-pyrrolo-oxathiino-quinoxalinones, 1,4-oxathiino-pyrrolo- triazolothienopyrimidinones, imidazopyrrolotriazolothienopyrimidines and 1,2,4-triazoloimidazo- pyrrolotriazolothienopyrimidindiones, based on the starting material 2,3-diamino-6-benzoyl-5- methylthieno[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4(3H)-one (3). The chemical structures were confirmed using many spectroscopic ways (IR, ¹H, ¹³C, −NMR and MS) and elemental analyses. A series of thiazine, imidazole, pyrrole, thienotriazolopyrimidine derivatives were synthesized and evaluated for their antiproliferative activity against four human cancer cell lines, i.e., CNE2 (nasopharyngeal), KB (oral), MCF-7 (breast) and MGC-803 (gastric) carcinoma cells. The compounds 20, 19, 17, 16 and 11 showed significant cytotoxicity against types of human cancer cell lines.     

Synthesis of 2,5‐Disubstituted Derivatives of Pyrano[2,3‐d][1,3]thiazines via the Interaction of 2‐Substituted 4‐Hydroxy‐6H‐1,3‐thiazine‐6‐ones with Aldehydes

A new and efficient route for the synthesis of derivatives of the poorly investigated pyrano[2,3‐d][1,3]thiazine heterocyclic system is disclosed. These compounds were prepared via annulation of 2‐aryl‐4‐hydroxy‐6H‐1,3‐thiazine‐6‐ones with aliphatic and aromatic aldehydes in the presence of pyridine. The method is general and versatile, and the interaction is independent on the nature of the aldehyde, the only exceptions being formaldehyde and salicylaldehydes.     

Synthetic routes to imidazothiazines

This review article presents the available synthetic routes for the preparation of different types of imidazothiazines. Imidazothiazines dealt with are classified into five types based on the position of linkage between imidazole and thiazine rings. The importance of the latter compounds in pharmacology is also discussed. The main purpose of this review is to present a survey of literature on imidazothiazines and provide useful and up-to-date data to organic and medicinal chemist, since such compounds have not been reviewed before.     

Transannular Anti-Michael Addition: Formation of 4H-Pyrazolo[5,1-c]thiazines

The reaction of 2-(diphenylmethylene)thietan-3-one (2) with 1,2,4,5-tetrazines (3a-c) in KOH/MeOH/THF gives 4H-pyrazolo[5,1-c]thiazines (7a-c). This novel condensation reaction proceeds via the intermediacy of an 8-(diphenylmethylene)-2H-1,4,5-thiadiazocin-7(8H)-one (5), which undergoes a multi-step rearrangement including a rare anti-Michael addition.     

Spectral and photophysical studies of thiazine dyes in triton X-100

The absorption spectra of several thiazine dyes such as thionine, azure A, azure B, azure C and methylene blue in aqueous solution of Triton X-100 show that dyes as electron acceptors form 11 charge-transfer (CT) or electron-donor-acceptor (EDA) complexes with Triton X-100, which acts as an electron donor. From the thermodynamic and spectrophotometric properties of these complexes, the abilities of dyes to accept an electron are in the order: azure C > thionine > azure A > azure B > methylene blue. The photogalvanic effect in the aqueous solution dye-surfactant has been studied. Generation of photovoltage supports a CT or EDA interaction between thiazine dyes and Triton X-100. There is a good correlation among the photophysical (photovoltage), spectral and thermodynamic properties of these complexes.     

Polymerizations of methyl methacrylate and rac-lactide by zinc(II) precatalyst containing N-substituted 2-iminomethylpyridine and 2-iminomethylquinoline

The reaction of [ZnCl₂] with N-cyclopentyl-1-(quinolin-2-yl)methanimine (L_A), N-cyclohexyl-1-(quinolin-2-yl)methanimine (L_B), N-cyclohexyl-1-(pyridin-2-yl)methanimine (L_C), 2,6-diethyl-N-(pyridin-2-ylmethylene)aniline (L_D), N-cyclopentyl-1-(pyridin-2-yl)methanimine (L_E), and N-phenyl-(pyridin-2-yl)methanimine (L_F) in ethanol produced the bidentate [(NN′)ZnCl₂] complexes, [L_AZnCl₂], [L_BZnCl₂], [L_CZnCl₂], [L_DZnCl₂], [L_EZnCl₂] and [L_FZnCl₂], respectively. The molecular structures revealed that the zinc in [L_nZnCl₂] (L_n = L_A ? L_D) showed a distorted tetrahedral geometry involving two nitrogens of N,N’-bidentate ligands and two chloride ligands. Most of these initiators were effective for polymerization of methyl methacrylate (MMA) and polymerization of rac-lactide (rac-LA). [L_CZnCl₂] (with N-cyclohexyl substituted at imine-pyridine moiety) exhibited the highest catalytic activity for MMA polymerization in the presence of modified methylaluminoxane (MMAO) with an activity of 3.33 × 10⁴ g PMMA/mol·Zn·h at 60 °C, giving moderate syndiotactic poly methyl methacrylate (PMMA) with high molecular weight (9.62 × 10⁵ g/mol). The dimethyl derivatives [L_nZnMe₂] (L_n = L_A ? L_F), generated in situ, polymerized rac-LA with moderate activity and yielded a polylactide (PLA) with good number-average molecular weights and narrower polydispersity indices (PDIs). [L_AZnMe₂] effectively initiates the ring-opening polymerization (ROP) of rac-LA to attain heterotactic PLA (P_r = 0.91).
