Synthesis and interconversion of 6-aroyl-4-oxohexanoie acids and 5-aryl-2-furanpropionic acids. Antiinflammatory agents

A series of 6-aroyl-4-oxohexanoic acids ( 2 ) was prepared for intermediate use by acid-catalyzed solvolysis of substituted 3-(2-furyl)acrylophenones ( 1 ). This reaction occasionally gave 5-aryl-2-furanpropionic acids ( 3 ) instead of, or in addition to, the desired diketones ( 2 ). Equilibrium between 2 and 3 was observed in the case where Ar is m-nitrophenyl. A rationalization for the formation of 3 is offered, and published reports with which our results differ are discussed. Diketones ( 2 ) were cyclized to furans ( 3 ) and antiinflammatory screening data are reported for the latter.     

Synthesis and structure of 5-oxo-1-phenylpyrazoline-3- and 4-alkanoic acids. Antiinflammatory agents

Condensation of appropriate β-keto esters with phenylhydrazine gave 5-oxo-1-phenyl-2-pyrazoline-3-and 4-alkanoic esters 1 and 3 which were saponified to the corresponding alkanoic acids 2 and 4 . Analogous condensation of the same β-keto esters with hydrazobenzene gave 5-oxo-1,2-diphenyl-3-pyrazoline-3-and 4-alkanoic esters 5 and 7 which were similarly converted to acids 6 and 8 . The structures of the oxopyrazolines as revealed by their infrared absorption are discussed, and results of their antiinflammatory screening are reported.     

Synthesis and reactions of 5-aryl-2-thiophenecarbaldehydes

The reaction of 2-thiophenecarbaldehyde with arene diazonium chlorides in the presence of CuCl₂ catalyst gave 5-aryl-2-thiophenecarbaldehydes. Use of 4-nitrobenzene diazonium chloride in the reaction also gave the isomeric 3-(4-nitrophenyl)-2-thiophenecarbaldehyde. Condensation products of the 5-aryl-2-thiophenecarbaldehydes with cyanoacetic acid esters, cyanoacetamide, and with barbituric and dimethylbarbituric acids were prepared.

Studies on antiplatelet agents. I. Synthesis and platelet inhibitory activity of 5-alkyl-2-aryl-4-pyridylimidazoles.

5-Alkyl-2-aryl-4-pyridylimidazoles were synthesized and tested in rat ex vivo platelet aggregation studies. Among these compounds, 2-(2-fluorophenyl)-5-methyl-4-(3-pyridyl)imidazole (25) was most potent, and showed 98% inhibition at a dose of 10 mg/kg (p.o.). 25 had inhibitory activity on cyclooxygenase, thromboxane A2 (TXA2) synthetase, and phosphodiesterase, and also showed inhibited KCl-induced contraction of rat aorta. All compounds have little acute toxicity and appear to be free of adverse effects on the stomach.

Synthesis of some 5-aryl-2,2′-dipyrromethenes as analogs of prodigiosin

Three new dipyrromethenes have been synthesized as analogs of prodigiosin: 3-methoxy-5-phenyl-2,2′-dipyrromethene (10a) , 3-methoxy-4 -pentyl-5-phenyl-5′-methyl-2,2′-dipyrromethene (10b) , and 3-methoxy-4′-pentyl-5′-methyl-5-(2″-thienyl)-2,2′-dipyrromethene (10c). The Michael addition of ethyl glycinate to an appropriate arylidenemalonate, quenched with ethyl chloroformate and followed by a Dieckmann cyclization gave diethyl 1-ethoxycarbonyl-3-oxo-5-phenyl and thienylpyrrolidine-2,4-dicarboxylate, 2a and 2b. Methylation of the highly enolic keto-esters, followed by oxidation to N-ethoxycarbonylpyrroles led, after appropriate elaboration of the pyrrole nucleus, to 2-phenyl- and 2-thienyl-4-methoxypyrroles. The acid catalyzed condensation of these arylmethoxypyrroles with either pyrrole-2-carboxaldehyde or 5-methyl-4-pentylpyrrole-2-carboxaldehyde led to 10a, 10b and 10c.

Summary 5-Aryl-1,1-diohloro-5-hydroxy- and 5-aryl-1,1,5-trichloro-1,3-pentadienes undergo rearrangement in an acid medium with formation of 5-aryl-2,4-pentadienoic acids.     

Polyfunctional imidazoles: VI. Synthesis of 2-amino-1-aryl-4-chloro-1H-imidazole-5-carboxylic acids derivatives

Aryl-2,4-dichloro-5-formylimidazoles by a successive treatment with hydroxylamine and thionyl chloride were converted into 1-aryl-2,4-dichloroimidazole-5-carbonitriles which by the action of sodium azide and tin(II) chloride were transformed into 2-amino-1-aryl-4-chloroimidazole-5-carbonitriles. The consecutive reactions of 2-azido-1-aryl-4-chloro-5-formylimidazoles with N-bromosuccinimide, methanol, or amides led to the formation of methyl esters and amides of 2-azido-1-aryl-4-chloroimidazole-5-carboxylic acids. The reduction of the latter with tin(II) chloride resulted in the corresponding derivatives of 2-amino-1-aryl-4-chloroimidazole-5-carboxylic acids, and the reduction of 2-azido-1-aryl-4-chloroimidazole-5-carboxylic acids was accompanied with decarboxylation and yielded 2-amino-1-aryl-4-chloroimidazoles.

Synthesis and proton-acceptor capacities of 5-aryl-2-acetylthiophenes and 1-(5-aryl-2-thienyl)-1propenones

A number of 5-aryl-2-acetylthiophenes and 1-(5-aryl-2-thienyl)-3-phenyl-1-propenones were synthesized, and it was shown by means of their IR spectra that the 1-propenones are trans isomers with respect to the orientation of the substituents attached to the double bond and have an s-cis conformation. According to the data from the IR spectra of the H complexes of the investigated compounds with phenol, 5-aryl-2-acetylthiophenes have higher proton-acceptor capacities than acetophenones, 2-acetylthiophenes, and 4-acetyldiphenyl; a similar picture is also noted in a number of 1-propenones and 3-propenones. The transmission factors () obtained by Hammett correlation of the _Oh values for 1,4-phenylene, 2,5-thienylene, and vinylene groupings are identical and are equal to 0.8. It is shown on the basis of a correlation with respect to an equation of the Yukawa-Zuno type that the thiophene ring transmits polar conjugation better than the benzene ring.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 9, pp. 1196–1202, September, 1976.     

Haloacetylated enol ethers. 7 . Synthesis of 3-aryl-5-trihalomethylisoxazoles and 3-aryl-5-hydroxy-5-trihalomethyl-4,5-dihydroisoxazoles

β-Aryl-β-methoxyvinyl trihalomethyl ketones 1a-g, 2a-g [aryl = p-YC₆H₄ where Y= H, Me, OMe, F, Cl, Br, NO₂] are cyclocondensed with hydroxylamine hydrochloride to afford the 3-aryl-5-hydroxy-5-trihalomethyl-4,5-dihydroisoxazoles 3a-g, 4a-f in good yield. The dehydratation of compounds 3a-g with concentrated sulfuric acid, led the corresponding 3-aryl-5-trichloromethylisoxazoles 5a-g . An alternative one-pot procedure yields 3-aryl-5-trihalomethylisoxazoles 5,6a-g directly by cyclocondesation of 1,2a-g with hydroxylamine hydrochloride in the presence of an excess of concentrated hydrochloric acid.     

2-aryl-5-arylsulfanyl-1,3-oxazole-4-carboxylic acids and their derivatives

A convenient preparative procedure has been developed for the synthesis of previously unknown 2-aryl-5-arylsulfanyl-1,3-oxazole-4-carboxylic acids and their functional derivatives from accessible multicenter substrates of the general formula Cl₂C=C(NHCOR)C(O)OMe. The products turned out to be suitable for various subsequent transformations. Some oxazole-4-carboxylic acid hydrazide derivatives containing a substituted oxazol-5-yl fragment at the N² atom in the hydrazine moiety underwent recyclization on heating in acetic acid; as a result, one oxazole ring was converted into 1,3,4-oxadiazole.     

Biological evaluation of 2-aryl-2-fluoropropionic acids as possible platforms for new medicinal agents

We investigated the cyclooxygenase (COX) inhibitory and anticancer activities of 2-aryl-2-fluoropropionic acids 1a-e. These fluorinated compounds showed lower inhibitory activity toward COX-1 than the corresponding non-fluorinated compounds 2a-e with retained inhibitory activity against COX-2 resulting in modification of the balance of COX-1/COX-2 inhibitions, and they showed little anticancer activity. Interesting differences of the activities between (S)- and (R)-enantiomers were observed in some cases.
