Synthesis of 6-substituted 1-alkoxy-5-alkyluracils

Synthesis of 6-substituted 1-alkoxy-5-alkyluracils 2a-c have been achieved from readily accessible 2-alkyl-3,3-di(methylthio)acryloyl chlorides 4a,b in high overall yields. Treatment of 4a,b with silver cyanate followed by reaction of the resulting isocyanates 5a,b with an appropriate alkoxyamine afforded N-alkoxy-N′-[2-alkyl-3,3-di(methylthio)acryloyl]ureas 6a,b in 85–88% yields. Cyclization of 6a,b in acetic acid containing methanesulfonic acid followed by oxidation with 3-chloroperoxybenzoic acid gave high yields of 1-alkoxy-5-alkyl-6-(methylsulfonyl)uracils 9a,b. Nucleophillic addition-elimination reaction of 9a,b with sodium azide, phenylthiol, or phenylselenol produced 6-azido-1-butoxythymine ( 2a , 98%), 5-ethyl-1-(2-phenoxyethoxy)-6-(phenylthio)uracil ( 2b , 95%), or 5-ethyl-1-(2-phenoxyethoxy)-6-(phenylselenenyl)uracil ( 2c , 91%).

Photochemical and thermal addition of alcohols to 2-cyanofuran : 1-alkoxy-2-cyanocyclopropane-3-carboxaldehydes; 2-alkoxy-3-cyano-2, 3-dihydrofuran; 1-alkoxy-1-(2-furan)-methylenimine; photochemical ring contraction; cis-trans-isomerization of dihydrofurans

The photolysis of 2-cyanofuran in alcohols yields 1-alkoxy-2-cyanocyclopropane-3-carboxaldehydes as the major products, which rearrange thermally to trans-2-alkoxy-3-cyano-2,3-dihydrofurans and small amounts of cis-isomers. Thermal mutual rearrangements between trans- and cis-2- alkoxy-3-cyano-2, 3-dihydrofurans were studied. Liquid phase thermal addition of alcohols in a temperature range between 100° and 200° yields 1-alkoxy-1-(2-furan)-methylenimines, which rearrange photochemically to 2-furyl-methylamino-ketone in case of the methoxy derivative. 3-Cyano-furan does not yield photoaddition or thermal addition products. The different behaviors of 2- and 3-substituted furans are discussed.

Potential nootropic agents, 4-alkoxy-2-(1-piperazinyl)quinazoline derivatives

A series of 4-alkoxy-2-(1-piperazinyl)quinazoline derivatives was synthesized and evaluated for its ability to reverse a scopolamine-induced learned impairment in a one-trial passive avoidance task (antiamnestic activity). 2-(4-Allyl-1-piperazinyl)-4-pentyloxyquinazoline (4) showed more potent antiamnestic activity than such reference compounds as aniracetam, idebenone and bifemelane at a wide dose range (1-30 mg/kg]. Compound 4 also exhibited potent anticonvulsive and antihypoxic activities, and was selected as the most promising nootropic candidate agent.     

Convenient synthesis of 1-alkoxy-1,2-dihydrophosphinine 1-oxides by ring enlargement

The addition of dichlorocarbene to the double bond of 1-alkoxy-dihydrophosphole oxides and subsequent thermolysis of the adduct so obtained affords mixtures of the two double bond isomers of alkoxy-dihydrophosphinine oxides, if the latter step is carried out in the presence of triethylamine. Experimental data support the involvement of a cationic intermediate during the opening of the cyclopropane ring. A simplified procedure for the preparation of the starting dihydrophospholes is also presented.
