Synthesis, 1H- and 13C-NMR spectra,crystal structure and ring openings of 1-methyl-6,9-epoxy-9-aryl-5,6,9,10-tetrahydro-1H-imidazo [3,2-e] [2H-1,5] oxazocinium methanesulfonate

The methanesulfonic acid catalyzed reaction of 1-(4-chloro- and 2,4-dichlorophenyl)-2-(1-methyl-2-imida-zolyl)ethanones 1a and 1b with glycerol produced cis- and trans-{2-haloaryl-2-[(1-methyl-2-imidazolyl)methyl]-4-hydroxymethyl}-1,3-dioxolanes 2a and 2b with a 2:1 cis/trans ratio. Besides these five-membered ketals, the reaction of 1a with glycerol afforded a small amount of trans-{2-(4-chlorophenyl)-2-[(1-methyl-2-imidazolyl)methyl]-5-hydroxy}-1,3-dioxane ( 3a , 7%). The reaction of methanesulfonyl chloride with cis-1 formed the corresponding methanesulfonates, cis- 4 , which rapidly cyclized to the title compounds 5 . Base-catalyzed ring opening of 5 furnished 1-methyl-5,6-dihydro-6-hydroxymethyl-8-(4-chloro- and 2,4-dichlorophenyl)-1H-imidazo[3,2-d][1,4]oxazepinium methanesulfonates 7 . Acid-catalyzed hydrolyses of 5 or 7 provided 1-methyl-2-[(4-chloro- and 2,4-dichloro)phenacyl]-3-[(2,3-dihydroxy)-1-propyl]imidazolium salts 12 . Structure proofs were based on extensive ¹H and ¹³C chemical shifts and coupling constants and structures of 3a and 5a were confirmed by single crystal X-ray crystallography.     

Molecular structures of methyl 4-[(1,3-dioxo-1,3-dihydro-2H-isoindol-2-yl)methyl]-1-methyl-1H-pyrazol-5-carboxylate and methyl 4-[(1,3-dioxo-1,3-dihydro-2H-isoindol-2-yl)methyl]-1-methyl-1H-pyrazol-3-carboxylate

The structure of methyl 4-[(1,3-dioxo-1,3-dihydro-2H-isoindol-2-yl)methyl]-1-methyl-1H-pyrazol-5-carboxylate is determined by X-ray crystallography and further used to elucidate the structure of methyl 4-[(1,3-dioxo-1,3-dihydro-2H-isoindol-2-yl)methyl]-1-methyl-1H-pyrazol-3-carboxylate, using the data of homo- and heteronuclear 2D NMR correlation spectroscopy.     

Efficient Synthesis of New Pyrimido[5′,4′:5,6]pyrano[2,3-d]pyrimidine-2,4,6(1H,3H)-triones via the Tandem Intramolecular Pinner–Dimroth Rearrangement,and Their Antibacterial Activity

Synthesis of new 8-alkyl-5-aryl-1,3-dimethyl-5,7-dihydro-2H-pyrimido[5′,4′:5,6]pyrano[2,3-d]- pyrimidine-2,4,6(1H,3H)-triones by the high yield reaction of 7-amino-5-aryl-1,3-dimethyl-2,4-dioxo-1,3,4,5- tetrahydro-2H-pyrano[2,3-d]pyrimidine-6-carbonitriles with aliphatic carboxylic acids in the presence of POCl3 is presented. It is probable that synthesis of these new products proceeds via the tandem intramolecular Pinner–Dimroth rearrangement. The products are characterized by FT-IR, ¹H, and ¹³C NMR spectra and evaluated for their antibacterial activity against gram +ve bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus epidermidis) and gram–ve bacteria (Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa) using the disc diffusion method.

     

A novel oxamide rearrangement

An efficient, base-induced rearrangement of 2-[(1,2-dioxo-2-(methylamino)ethyl)phenylamino]benzoic acid methyl ester ( 7a ) to the isomeric 2-[(1,2-dioxo-2-(phenylamino)ethyl)methylamino]benzoic acid methyl ester ( 27a ) is described. This novel rearrangement must proceed through a spiro intermediate wherein benzoate is acting as a Michael receptor. When 2-[(1,2-dioxo-2-(methylamino)ethyl)methylamino]benzoic acid methyl ester ( 28 )-an oxamide which would produce a degenerate spiro intermediate — was subjected to rearrangement conditions, the product obtained was 1,3-dimethyl-2,4-(1H,3H)quinazolinedione ( 29 ). This latter transformation may have proceeded via a benzodiazepinetrione intermediate.     

Design and synthesis of novel dinucleotide analogs

Syntheses of dinucleotide analogs, (S,R) cis-(4-((4-amino-2-oxopyrimidin-1(2H)-yl)methyl)-1,3-dioxolan-2-yl)methyl (2R,3R,5R)-2-(hydroxymethyl)-5-(5-methyl-2,4-dioxo-3,4-dihydropyrimidin-1(2H)-yl)-tetrahydrofuran-3-yl hydrogen phosphate (5a) and (S,R) cis-(5-((4-amino-2-oxopyrimidin-1(2H)-yl)methyl)-1,3-oxathiolan-2-yl)methyl (2R,3R,5R)-2-(hydroxymethyl)-5-(5-methyl-2,4-dioxo-3,4-dihydropyrimidin-1(2H)-yl)-tetrahydrofuran-3-yl hydrogen phosphate (5b), were accomplished by the use of a new strategy. The use of phenyldichlorophosphate (Method A) as the coupling reagent was shown to possess superiority relative to the reported use of di(1H-benzo[d][1,2,3]triazol-1-yl)phenyl phosphonate (Method B).     

Conformational and stereoelectronic control in ring-transformations of cis-4,5-dialkoxytetrahydropurine-2,6,8-triones

Divergent acid-catalysed ring-openings of 4,5-dimethoxytetrahydropurine-2,6,8-triones 2 at position 4, yielding 1-(5-methoxyhydantoin-5-carbonyl)ureas 4 (R⁷ = Me) or 5-methoxy-5-ureido-2,4,6-pyrimidinetriones 5 (R⁷ = H), can be rationalized by assuming a preference for one of two conformational isomers of the cis-fused system, associated with the N-substitution effects. Intramolecular transamidation 5 → 4 presumably occurs via a bicyclic acid aminal type intermediate 3 , heretofore misassigned as the reaction product. A curious base-catalysed rearrangement was encountered with the 5 (R¹ = R³ = Me, R⁷ = H) cases, which afforded 5-methoxy-1,5-bis(methylaminocarbonyl)hydantoins 7 . Remarkable stability of the conformationally rigid propellane type 4,5-ethylenedioxytetrahydropurine-2,6,8-triones 9 toward acids, shows that the mode of ring-opening at position 4 is controlled by powerful Stereoelectronic factors. However, an alternative ring-opening at the 1,6-bond has occurred on heating aqueous solutions of 9a (R⁷ = H); the ensuing decarboxylative rearrangement leads to 1,3-dimethylallantoin ( 12 ) and its precursor, 1-(2-hydroxyethoxy)-2,4-dimethyl-3,7-dioxo-2,4,6,8-tetraazabicyclo[3.3.0]octane( 11 ).     

Synthesis of some 1,3,8-trisubstituted pyrimido[4,5-c][2,7]-naphthyridin-6-ones as potential antitumor agents

Condensation of three 2,4-disubstituted 6-aminopyrimidines with methyl 1-benzyl-4-oxo-3-piperidinecarboxylate afforded, in each case, new tricyclic, angular 1,3,8-trisubstituted pyrimido[4,5-c][2,7]naphthyridin-6-ones. 2,4,6-Triaminopyrimidine gave the 7,8,9,10-tetrahydrocyclo condensed product 5 as anticipated. However, the use of 2-amino-4-oxo- or 2,4-dioxo-6-aminopyrimidine afforded the dehydrogenated, 9,10-dihydrotricyclic products 11 and 12 . The growth of leukemia L1210 cells in culture were inhibited 50% by the 1,3-diamino analog 5 at 2 × 10⁻⁶M and by the 1,3-dioxo analog 12 at 10⁻⁵M.     

[f]-Fused purine-2,6-diones: Synthesis of new [1,3,5]- and [1,3,6]-thiadiazepino-[3,2-f]-purine ring systems

Summary 6-Phenyl-1,3-dimethyl-2,4-dioxo-1,2,3,4,8,9-hexahydro-[1,3,5]-thiadiazepino-[3,2-f]-purine (5) was obtained by a three-step synthesis from 8-mercapto-1,3-dimethyl-3,7-dihydro-1H-purine-2,6-dione (1) and 2-(benzoylamino)-ethyl chloride (2)via 8-(benzoylaminoethylthio)-1,3-dimethyl-3,7-dihydro-1H-purine-2,6-dione (3) and its chloromido derivative4. The analogous 9-phenyl-1,3-dimethyl-2,4-dioxo-1,2,3,4,6,7-hexahydro-[1,3,6]-thiadiazepino-[3,2-f]-purine (7) was synthesized either from compound1 and N-(2-chloroethyl)-benzimido chloridevia N-(chloroethyl)-S-(1,3-dimethyl-2,4-dioxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-7H-purin-8-yl)-benzothioimide (6), or alternatively from 7-(2-benzoylaminoethyl)-8-bromo-1,3-dimethyl-3,7-dihydro-1H-purine-2,6-dione (9), its 8-mercapto derivative10 and the corresponding chloroimido compound11 being the intermediates.Part of this paper was presented as a preliminary report at the Congress of Czech and Slovak Chemical Societies, Olomouc, Czech Republic, September 13–16, 1993

 The reactive 1:1 intermediate produced in the reaction between 2,6-dimethylphenyl isocyanide and dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate was trapped by N,N′ -dimethylbarbituric acid to yield the isomeric products dimethyl 7-(2,6-dimethylphenylamino)-1,3-dimethyl-2,4-dioxo-4H-pyrano[3,2-d]pyrimidine-5,6-dicarboxylate and dimethyl (E)-2-((2,6-dimethylphenylamino)-(1,3-dimethyl-2,4,6-trioxo-pyrimidine-5-ylidene)-methyl)-but-2-enedioate in a nearly 1:1 ratio and an overall yield of 85%. Dynamic effects were observed in the ¹H NMR spectra of these compounds and were attributed to restricted rotation around the aryl-nitrogen single bonds and the polarized carbon-carbon double bond.

Novel tandem hydration/cyclodehydration of alpha-thiocyanatoketones to 2-oxo-3-thiazolines. Application to thiazolo[5,4-c]quinoline-2,4(3aH,5H)-dione synthesis

Novel tandem hydration of alpha-thiocyanatoketones to thiocarbamates followed by in situ cyclodehydration to fused 2-oxo-3-thiazolines is described. The reaction is applied to the synthesis of [1,3]thiazolo[5,4-c]quinoline-2,4(3aH,5H)-diones (4). Concentrated sulfuric acid was found to be critical for the reaction as both corresponding 2,3-dioxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinolin-3-yl thiocyanates (2) and S-(2,4-dioxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinolin-3-yl) thiocarbamates (3) rapidly hydrolyze in the presence of water to 4-hydroxyquinolin-2(1H)-ones (1).

Structures and Reactivities of Cocrystals Involving Diboronic Acids and Bipyridines: In Situ Linker Reaction and 1D-to-2D Dimensionality Change via Crystal-to-Crystal Photodimerization

Cocrystallizations of diboronic acids [1,3-benzenediboronic acid (1,3-bdba), 1,4-benzenediboronic acid (1,4-bdba) and 4,4’-biphenyldiboronic acid (4,4’-bphdba)] and bipyridines [1,2-bis(4-pyridyl)ethylene (bpe) and 1,2-bis(4-pyridyl)ethane (bpeta)] generated the hydrogen-bonded 1 : 2 cocrystals [(1,4-bdba)(bpe)₂] (1), [(1,4-bdba)(bpeta)₂] (2), [(1,3-bdba)(bpe)₂(H₂O)₂] (3) and [(1,3-bdba)(bpeta)₂(H₂O)] (4), wherein 1,3-bdba involved hydrated assemblies. The linear extended 4,4’-bphdba exhibited the formation of 1 : 1 cocrystals [(4,4'-bphdba)(bpe)] (5) and [(4,4'-bphdba-me)(bpeta)] (6). For 6, a hemiester was generated by an in-situ linker transformation. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction revealed all structures to be sustained by B(O)−H⋅⋅⋅N, B(O)−H⋅⋅⋅O, O_w−H⋅⋅⋅O, O_w−H⋅⋅⋅N, C−H⋅⋅⋅O, C−H⋅⋅⋅N, π⋅⋅⋅π, and C−H⋅⋅⋅π interactions. The cocrystals comprise 1D, 2D, and 3D hydrogen-bonded frameworks with components that display reactivities upon cocrystal formation and within the solids. In 1 and 3, the C=C bonds of the bpe molecules undergo a [2+2] photodimerization. UV radiation of each compound resulted in quantitative conversion of bpe into cyclobutane tpcb. The reactivity involving 1 occurred via 1D-to-2D single-crystal-to-single-crystal (SCSC) transformation. Our work supports the feasibility of the diboronic acids as formidable structural and reactivity building blocks for cocrystal construction.

PHOSPHONOMETHYLATION OF AMINOALKANOLS PREPARATION OF 4-(PHOSPHONOMETHYL)-2-HYDROXY-2-OXO-1,4,2-OXAZAPHOSPHORINANES1

Abstract

Treatment of aminoalkanols 1 with phosphorous acid and formaldehyde in presence of conc. hydrochloric acid gave mixtures of [(2-hydroxy alkyl)imino] dimethylene diphosphonic acids 3 and 4-(phosphonomethyl)-2-hydroxy-2-oxo-1,4,2-oxazaphosphorinanes 2 from which 2 were isolated as crystalline solids. Similar treatment of 2-amino-2-methyl-1,3-propanediol 8 gave a complex mixture from which dimethylene diphosphonic acid of 5-amino-5-methyl-1,3-dioxane 9 was isolated. 2-Aminoethanethiol, when subjected to phosphonomethylation. gave an unexpected novel quarternary nitrogen product 11. N-Alkylaminoalkanols 4 on phosphonomethylation gave 3:1 mixtures of [N-alkyl-N-(2-hydroxyalkyl)amino] methane phosphonic acid 6 and N-alkyl-2-hydroxy-2-oxo-1,4,2-oxazaphosphorinane 5. Treatment of the crude mixtures of 5 and 6 with aqueous sodium hydroxide gave disodium salts of [N-alkyl-N-(2-hydroxyalkyl)amino] methanephosphonic acid 7. The ratio of the cyclic to the open chain structures obtained as well as the formation of any unexpected novel products is dependent on the structure of the aminoalkanol that is phosphonomethylated. The ¹H, ¹³C and ³¹P spectra are reported for all new compounds.
