A synthesis of 4-N-oxides and of 3-hydroxy derivatives of 1,3-dihydro-2H-benzofuro[3,2-e][1,4]diazepin-2-ones and of 2,3-dihydro-1H-benzofuro[3,2-e][1,4]diazepines is described. Condensation of 2-acetyl- and 2-benzoyl-3-ethoxycarbonylaminobenzofurans with acrylonitrile gave derivatives of 1,2-dihydro- and of 1,2,3,4-tetrahydrobenzofuro[3,2-b]pyridine.     

Synthesis of new arylbenzofurodiazepin-6-ones

Two new tetracyclic structures, containing the diazepine ring, were synthesized: 5,6-dihydro-12H-benzofuro[3,2-b][1,5]benzodiazepin-6-one and 5,6-dihydro-12H-benzofuro[3,2-b]pyrido[3,2-f][1,5]diazepin-6-one. Thus N-(2-haloaryl)-2-[(2-cyanophenyl)oxy]acetamides were cyclized to the corresponding N-(2-haloaryl)-3-amino-2-benzofurancarboxamides and then, through the formation of the central diazepine ring, to the title compounds. Formation of the diazepine ring took place only when an electron-withdrawing group was present in the molecule to facilitate the nucleophilic attack of an amine in the benzofuran intermediate.     

New heterocyclic structures. [1,2,5]Thiadiazolo[3′,4′:4,5]pyrimido-[2,1-b][1,3]thiazine and thiazolo[3,2a][1,2,5]thiadiazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine

Derivatives of two new molecular structures, namely, 7,8-dihydro-6H,10H-[1,2,5]thiadiazolo[3′,4′:4,5]pyrimido[2,1-b][1,3]thiazin-10-one and 6,7-dihydro-9H-thiazolo[3,2-a][1,2,5]thiadiazolo[3,4-d][pyrimidin-9-one, and derivatives of N-substituted sulfamic acid, namely, (8-amino-3,4-dihydro-2H,6H-pyrimido[2,1-b][1,3]thiazin-6-on-7-yl)sulfamic acid and (7-amino-2,3-dihydro-5H-thiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidin-5-on-6-yl)sulfamic acid, were separated out as by-products in the reduction reaction of 8-amino-3,4-dihydro-7-nitroso-2H,6H-pyrimido[2,1- b][1,3]thiazin-6-one and 7-amino-2,3-dihydro-6-nitroso-5H-thiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidin-5-one derivatives, respectively, with sodium hydrosulfite. A mechanism of reaction, which hypothesizes the action of sodium hydrosulfite in an asymmetic form, is proposed. The results of single-crystal X-ray investigation on 7,8-dihydro-6H,10H-[1,2,5]thiadiazolo[3′,4′:4,5]pyrimido[2,1-b][1,3]thiazin-10-one (R = 0.032 for 863 reflections) and (8-amino-3,4-dihydro-2H,6H-pyrimido[2,1-b]- [1,3]thiazin-6-on-7-yl)sulfamic acid, sodium salt (R = 0.028 for 3507 reflections) are reported.     

Synthesis of a novel pyrrolo[1,2-c][1.3]benzodiazepine analogue of VPA-985

The seven-step synthesis of a novel structural isomer of VPA-985, N-[3-chloro-4-(5H-pyrrolo[1,2-c][1.3]benzodiazepin-6(11H)-ylcarbonyl)phenyl]-5-fluoro-2-methylbenzamide, is described. (2-Aminophenyl)(1H-pyrrol-2-yl)methanone was converted with thiophosgene into (2-isothiocyanatophenyl)(1H-pyrrol-2-yl)methanone which was cyclised in the presence of base to 5-thioxo-5,6-dihydro-11H-pyrrolo[1,2-c][1.3]benzodiazepin-11-one. The latter underwent desulfurisation with Raney nickel followed by reduction with lithium aluminium hydride in the presence of aluminium trichloride and the resulting 6,11-dihydro-5H-pyrrolo[1,2-c][1.3]-benzodiazepine acylated with 2-chloro-4-nitrobenzoyl chloride to afford 6-(2-chloro-4-nitrobenzoyl)-6,11-dihydro-5H-pyrrolo[1,2-c][1.3]benzodiazepine. The nitro group in the latter compound was reduced with zinc and ammonium chloride to give the corresponding aniline derivative which was then acylated with 2-methyl-5-fluorobenzoyl chloride to provide the final product.     

Unexpected Direction of Iodocyclization of 3-Allylthio-5-phenyl-4H-1,2,4-triazole

The reaction of 3-allylthio-5-phenyl-4H-1,2,4-triazole with iodine to give a mixture of 5,6-dihydro-5-iodomethyl-3-phenyl[1,3]thiazolo[2,3-c][1,2,4]triazole, 6,7-dihydro-6-iodo-3-phenyl-5H-[1,2,4]triazolo[3,4-b][1,3]thiazine, 5,6-dihydro-6-iodomethyl-2-phenyl[1,3]thiazolo[3,2-b][1,2,4]triazole, and 6,7-dihydro-6-iodo-2-phenyl-5H-[1,2,4]triazolo[5,1-b][1,3]thiazine has been studied. The structure of the products obtained was established using ¹H NMR spectroscopy of their dehydriodination products.     

The synthesis of benzofuroquinolines. X. Some benzofuro[3,2-c]isoquinoline derivatives

Condensation of salicylonitrile with ethyl α-bromo-α-(o-ethoxycarbonylphenyl)acetate (4) effectively gave 5 (6H)-benzofuro[3,2-c]isoquinolinone (2) , which was converted to some 5-substituted benzofuro-[3,2-c]isoquinoline derivatives 1a-g.     

Synthesis of tricyclic and tetracyclic thieno[3,2-f]-1,4-thiazepines

Treatment of 5-methylthio-2,3-dihydrothieno[3,2-f]-1,4-thiazepine ( 9 ) with acylhydrazines gave 5,6-dihydrothieno[3,2-f]-1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-d][1,4]thiazepines 10, 11 , and that of 9 with ethyl anthranilate gave 5,6-dihydrothieno[3′,2′:6,7][1,4]thiazepino[5,4-b]quinazolin-8-one ( 14 ). Reaction of 9 with hydrazine hydrate or 4-chlorophenylhydrazine afforded 5-hydrazino compounds 12, 15 , which were subsequently cyclized to ethyl 5,6-dihydrothieno[3,2-f]-1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-d][1,4]thiazepine-3-carboxylate ( 13 ), 2-(4-chlorophenyl)-5,6-dihydrothieno[3,2-f]-1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-d][1,4]thiazepin-3(2H)-one ( 16 ) and 2-(4-chlorophenyl)-6,7-dihydro-2H-thieno[3,2-f][1,2,4]triazino[4,3-d][1,4]thiazepine-3,4-dione ( 17 ). New thieno-anellated heterocycles were prepared with the aim of studying their affinity for the benzodiazepine receptors.     

Annelated piperazinyl-7,8-dihydro-6H-thiopyrano[3,2-d]pyrimidines

Tricyclic analogs of piperazinylthiopyrano[3,2-d]pyrimidine hypoglycemic agents were prepared. The angular tricyclic systems, 8,9-dihydro-7H-thiopyrano[2,3-e][1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]pyrimidine and 8,9-dihydro-7H-tetrazolo[1,5-a]thiopyrano[2,3-e]pyrimidine derivatives were synthesized from 2,4-dichloro-7,8-dihydro-6H-thiopyrano[3,2-d]pyrimidine in three step sequences. Derivatives of the linear tricyclic system, 5,6-dihydro-7H-thiopyrano[3,2-d][1,2,4]triazolo[2,3-a]pyrimidine, were prepared by condensation of 3-amino-1,2,4-triazole with ethyl 3-oxo-tetrahydropyran-2-carboxylate. The tricyclic heteroaryl-piperazines lacked significant hypoglycemic activity.     

Synthesis of some 3,7-disubstituted quino[3,2-c][1,8]naphthyridines

The preparation of some 3,7-disubstituted-5,6-dihydroquino[3,2-c][1,8]naphthyridines ( 6 ) by the condensation of 7-substituted-2,3-dihydro-1,8-naphthyridin-4-(1H)ones ( 5 ) with o-aminoacetophenone or o-aminobenzophenone is described. All the 5,6-dihydroderivatives 6 were transformed into the fully aromatic compounds 7 by heating with nitrobenzene. Only a few quino[3,2-c][1,8]naphthyridines were previously described.     

Cyclization reactions of 1,3-dibromopropan-2-ol, 2,3-dibromopropan-1-ol and 1-bromomethyloxirane with 6-amino-2,3-dihydro-2-thioxo-4(1H)-pyrimidinone

The cyclization reactions, carried out in strongly- or weakly-basic media, are described. Sometimes, 7-amino-2,3-dihydro-3-hydroxymethyl-5H-thiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidin-5-one is separated out, together with 8-amino-3,4-dihydro-3-hydroxy-2H,6H-pyrimido[2,1-b][1,3]thiazin-6-one, as the principal product. A mechanism of reaction, during which the cyclizating agents are changed into oxirane derivatives, is proposed. The results of single-crystal X-ray investigations on 8-amino-3,4-dihydro-3-hydroxy-7-nitroso-2H,6H-pyrimido[2,1-b][1,3]thiazin-6-one (R = 0.035 for 1013 reflections), and on 7-hydroxymethyl-6,7-dihydrothiazolo[3,2-a][1,2,3]triazolo[4,5-d]pyrimidin-9(1H)-one (R = 0.027 for 1607 reflections) are reported.     

Reaction of ketenes with N,N-disubstituted à-aminomethyleneketones. IX. Synthesis of 2H,5H-pyrano[3,2-c][1]benzopyran derivatives

Cycloaddition of dichloroketene to N,N-disubstituted 3-aminomethylene-4-chromanones gave in good yield N,N-disubstituted 4-amino-3,3-dichloro-3,4-dihydro-5H-pyrano[3,2-c][1]benzopyran-2-ones only in the case of aromatic N-substitution. Dehydrochlorination with triethylamine of these adducts afforded N,N-disubstituted 4-amino-3-chloro-5H-pyrano[3,2-c][1]benzopyran-2-ones in good to moderate yield. The cycloaddition to 3-dimethylaminomethylene-4-chromanone led directly to 3-chloro-4-dimethylamino-5H-pyrano[3,2-c][1]benzopyran-2-one.     

Molecular Engineering of Isomeric Benzofurocarbazole Donors for Photophysical Management of Thermally Activated Delayed Fluorescence Emitters

Benzofurocarbazole moieties are commonly used donor structures in the design of thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) emitters. However, only 5 H-benzofuro[3,2-c]carbazole (34BFCz) has been reported and, to the best of our knowledge, no other benzofurocarbazole derivatives have been covered in the literature. In the present study, two further benzofurocarbazole moieties, 12 H-benzofuro[3,2-a]carbazole (12BFCz) and 7 H-benzofuro[2,3-b]carbazole (23BFCz), have been synthesized to investigate the effect of the donor structure on the photophysics and device parameters of TADF emitters. Two benzofurocarbazole-derived TADF emitters, 12-(2-(4,6-diphenyl-1,3,5-triazin-2-yl)phenyl)-12 H-benzofuro[3,2-a]carbazole (o12BFCzTrz) and 7-(2-(4,6-diphenyl-1,3,5-triazin-2-yl)phenyl)-7 H-benzofuro[2,3-b]carbazole (o23BFCzTrz), have been compared with 5-(2-(4,6-diphenyl-1,3,5-triazin-2-yl)phenyl)-5 H-benzofuro[3,2-c]carbazole (oBFCzTrz). The benzofurocarbazole donor structure governs the TADF characteristics, such as charge-transfer property and emission color. The 12BFCz donor has proved to be effective in blue-shifting the emission color, and 34BFCz has proven useful for improving the external quantum efficiency (EQE). The 12BFCz-derived o12BFCzTrz showed blue-shifted color coordinates of (0.159, 0.288), compared to (0.178, 0388) for o23BFCzTrz and (0.169, 0.341) for oBFCzTrz. The 34BFCz-derived oBFCzTrz exhibited an EQE of 22.9 %, compared to 19.2 % for o12BFCzTrz and 21.1 % for o23BFCzTrz.     

Synthesis of 1H,3H-imidazo[1,5-c]thiazole-5,7-[6H,7aH]-dione and 7,8-dihydro-5-H-imidazo[1,5-c][1,3]thiazine-1,3-[2H,8aH]-dione and derivatives

1H,3H-Imidazo[1,5-c]thiazole-5,7-[6H,7aH]-dione and the corresponding 7-thione derivatives as well as 7,8-dihydro-5H-imidazo[1,5-c][1,3]thiazine-1,3-[2H,8aH]-dione and the corresponding 3-thione derivatives were synthesized starting from L -cysteine and DL -homocysteine thiolactone, respectively. The second group of bicyclic compounds represents a new heterocyclic ring system. The structures of the compounds were confirmed by spectroscopic studies and elemental analyses.     

Synthesis of some 3-substituted quino[3,2-c][1,8]naphtyridines. A new heterocyclic ring system

Isatoic acid reacts with 7-mcthyl-2,3-dihydro-1,8-naphthyridin-4(1H) one ( 8 ) to give 3-methyl-5,6-dihvdroquino[3,2-c][1,8]naphthyriclin-7-carboxylic acid ( 9a ), which was transformed into the 3-methylquino[3,2-c][1,8]naphthyridine ( 7a ) by refluxing with copper chromite in quinoline. The same product ( 7a ) was also obtained by aromatization of the 3-methyl-5,6-dihydroquino-[3,2-c][1.8]naphthvridine ( 10a ), prepared by condensation of the ketone ( 8 ) and o-aminobenzaldehyde. Other 3-substituted quino[3,2-c][1,8]naphthyridines ( 7b,c,d,e ), which contain a new heterocyclic, ring structure, have been prepared using o-aminobenzaldehyde and 7-sub-stituted-2,3-dihv dro-1,8-naphthyridin-4(1H) ones ( 12 and 13 ) as starting materials. Also, the preparation of the parent nucleus ( 7f ) is described.     

Reaction of N-Heterocycles with Acetylenedicarboxylates in the Presence of N-Alkylisatins or Ninhydrin. Efficient Synthesis of Spiro Compounds

Summary. The 1,3-dipolar intermediates generated by addition of isoquinoline, to dialkyl acetylenedicaboxylates are trapped by N-alkylisatins to produce dialkyl 1,2-dihydro-2-oxo-1-alkylspiro[3H-indol-3,2′-[2H,11bH][1,3]oxazino[2,3-a]isoquinoline]-3′,4′-dicarboxylates in excellent yields. The reaction of isoquinoline, quinoline, or pyridine with dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate in the presence of ninhydrin led to dimethyl 1,2-dihydro-1,3-dioxospiro[3H-indene-3,2′-[2H,11bH][1,3]oxazino[2,3-a]isoquinoline]-3′,4′-dicarboxylate, dimethyl 1,2-dihydro-1,3-dioxospiro[3H-indene-3,3′[3H,4aH][1,3]oxazino[3,2-a]quinoline]-1,2-dicarboxylate, or dimethyl 1,2-dihydro-1,3-dioxospiro[3H-indene-3,2′-[2H,9aH]pyrido[2,1-b][1,3]oxazino]-3,4-dicarboxylate.     

Galanthamine analogs: 6H-benzofuro[3a,3,2,-e,f][1]benzazepine and 6H-benzofuro[3a,3,2-e,f][3]benzazepine

The known cholinesterase inhibitory capability of the Amarylidaceae alkaloid galanthamine prompted preparation of analogs in which the position of the nitrogen within the azepine ring is altered. The analogs 6H-benzofuro[3a,3,2-e,f][1]benzazepine and 6H-benzofuro[3a,3,2-e,f][3]benzazepine were prepared in 19 and 2.5%, respectively, following Kametani and Shimizu approaches, respectively. The aniline derivative 6H-benzofuro[3a,3,2-e,f][1]benzazepine failed to undergo most of the reactions typical for galanthamine. Thus, it neither oxidized to the analogous narwedine, nor epimerized to the analogous epigalanthamine, nor reduced to the lycoramine analog, under the conditions used for galanthamine.     

The [4+2]-cycloaddition of ketene containing both acyl and imidoyl groups to aldehyde: Synthesis,crystal and molecular structure of 1-p-bromophenyl-4-p-toluoyl-1, 3-dihydro-5H-[1,3]oxazino[4,3-c][1,4]benzoxazine-3,5-dione

Thermal decarboxylation of 3-p-toluoyl-1,2-dihydro-4H-pyrrolo[5,1-c][1,4]benzoxazine-1, 2,4-trione resulted in 2-oxo-2H-1,4-benzoxazin-3-yl(p-toluoyl)ketene; the latter under-goes [4+2]-cycloaddition withp-bromobenzaldehyde to form 1-p-bromophenyl-4-p-toluoyl-1, 3-dihydro-5H-[1,3]oxazino[4,3-c][1,4] benzoxazine-3,5-dione. The crystal and molecular structure of the latter has been studied by X-ray analysis.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk. Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 9, pp. 1633–1636, September, 1993.

The new tricyclic heterocycles were prepared with the aim of studying their possible benzodiazepine receptors affinity.     

Synthesis of 4-methylfuro[3′,2′:5,6]benzofuro[3,2-c]pyridine

4-Methylfuro[3′,2′:5,6]benzofuro[3,2-c]pyridine ( 3 ) was synthetized from 2-acetylfuro[3,2-f]benzo[b]furan ( 4 ) or from 2-acetyl-5,6-dihydrofuro[3,2-f]benzo[b]furan ( 10 ). The key step involves a rearrangement-cyclization of azides 6 and 12 to form 4-methylfuro[3′,2′:5,6]benzofuro[3,2-c]pyridin-1(2H) one ( 7 ) and 8,9-dihydro-4-methylfuro[3′,2′:5,6]benzofuro[3,2c]pyridin-1(2H)-one ( 13 ). Introduction of an aminoalkyl chain on carbon 1 was effected by substitution of 1-chloro-4-methylfuro[3′,2′:5,6]benzofuro[3,2-c]pyridine ( 8 ).     

Condensation of 5-(4-methylphenyl)-2,4-dihydro-3H-1,2,4-triazole-3-thione with haloacetic acids

Reactions of triazolethiones with haloacetic acids were studied with 5-(4-methylphenyl)-2,4-dihydro-3H-1,2,4-triazole-3-thione as an example. It was proved for the first time by X-ray diffraction that the cyclocondensation of these compounds proceeds regiospecifically to give 2-(4-methylphenyl)[1,3]thiazolo[3,2-b][1,2,4]triazol-6(5H)-one rather than its isomer 3-(4-methylphenyl)[1,3]thiazolo[2,3-c][1,2,4]triazol-5(6H)-one.
