Azaindoles. V. Pyrido(4,3-b]indoles (γ-carbolines) fonctionnalisés sur leur sommet 4: Synthèse en une seule étape

In boiling diphenylether phenylhydrazine reacts with 1,2-dihydro-2-oxo-4-hydroxypyridines to give 3,4-dihydro-4-oxo(9H)-pyrido[4,3-b]indoles (γ-carbolines) in one step. Nucleophilic displacement of their 4-chloro derivatives by secondary amines affords both 3,4-disubstituted γ-carbolines and chlorination of 2,3-dimethyl-4-oxo(9H)pyrido[4,3-b]indoles, as well as methylation of 2-methyl-4-chloro-(9H)pyrido[4,3-b]indole leads to derivatives in the (3H)4-substituted pyrido[4,3-b] indole series.     

Nitrogen Bridgehead Compounds. Part 81. Synthesis of 9-(benzylidenehydrazono)-6-methyl-4-oxo-6,7,8,9-tetrahydro- and 9-(benzylidenehydrazine)-6-methyl-4-oxo-6,7-dihydro-4H-pyrido[1,2-a]-pyrimidine-3-carboxylates

Reaction of ethyl 9-hydrazono-6-methyl-4-oxo-6,7,8,9-tetrahydro-4H-pyrido[1,2-a]pyrimidine-3-carboxylate and benzaldehyde and its derivatives give a tautomeric mixture of 9-arylidenehydrazono-6,7,8,9-tetrahydro- and 9-arylidenehydrazine-6,7-dihydropyrido[1,2-a]pyrimidine derivatives. In the same case the enhydrazine and hydrazone tautomers were separated. The structure of the products were characterised by uv, ir, ¹H and ¹³C nmr. The equilibrium of the tautomers was affected by the substituent of the phenyl ring. A fair linear correlation exists between the logarithms of the equilibrium constants and Hammett σ_m and σ^? constants of the substituents present on the phenyl ring.

Studies on v-triazoles. Part II. Synthesis of 9-oxo-1H,9H-benzopyrano[2,3-d]-v-triazoles

Ethyl 1-benzyl-5-chloro-v-triazole-4-carboxylate ( 3 ) undergoes facile nucleophilic displacement of the halogen atom with phenoxide ion to yield aryloxytriazolecarboxylates 4 which debenzylate under hydrogenolytic conditions to N-H triazoles 7 . Saponification and cyclization with either polyphosphoric acid or phosphoric oxide in methanesulphonic acid leads to the novel 9-oxo-1H,9H-benzopyrano[2,3-d]-v-triazole system 9 , members of which have potential as antiasthmatic agents.     

Aromatic nucleophilic substitution. Part 2. Preparation of novel 3-substituted xanthone and thioxanthone derivatives

The novel 3-nitro-9-oxo-9H-xanthene- and 3-nitro-9-oxo-9H-thioxanthene-l-carboxylic acids 2a–d were prepared by intramolecular acylation of 3-aryloxy- and 3-arylthio-5-nitrophthalic anhydrides 1 (Scheme). The 3-nitro group was readily substituted by O- and S-nucleophiles and halide and azide ions to give a range of 3-substituted thioxanthone derivatives 3 with varied λ_max.     

Protonenresonanzspektren von Pteridinen V. 2-Amino-4-oxo-3,4-dihydropteridine

The proton magnetic resonance spectra of 20 pteridines, i.e. 2-amino-4-oxo-3,4-dihydropteridine and 19 derivatives, have been measured at 100 Mc/s and 60 Mc/s in CF₃COOH under standardized conditions as the mono-cations. The chemical shifts of the vinyl-, methyl- and NH₂-protons are tabulated, and some typical spectra are illustrated. The influence of the substrate concentration and of solvent effects upon the NH-signals have been studied. Protonation always takes place at N(1) or N(3), and an attempt is made to correlate δ(NH₂) and pK_a values.     

Synthesis of 3H-pyrazol-3-one derivatives containing a 9H-thioxanthene ring

2,4-Dihydro-5-methyl-2-phenyl-4-(9H-thioxanthen-9-yl)-3H-pyrazol-3-one ( 3 ) was prepared by condensing 9H-thioxanthen-9-ol ( 1 ) with 2,4-dihydro-5-methyl-2-phenyl-3H-pyrazol-3-one ( 2 ), or by cyclizing ethyl α-acetyl-9H-thioxanthene-9-acetate ( 4 ) with phenylhydrazine. 2,4-Dihydro-5-methyl-2-phenyl-4-(9H-thioxan- then-9-yl)-3H-pyrazol-3-one 10,10-dioxide ( 8 ) was prepared by cyclizing ethyl α-acetyl-9H-thioxanthene-9-acetate 10,10-dioxide ( 7 ) with phenylhydrazine. Compound 8 was also obtained by oxidizing 3 with hydrogen peroxide in acetic acid. 5-Amino-2,4-dihydro-2-phenyl-4(9H-thioxanthen-9-yl)-3H-pyrazol-3-one ( 10 ) was obtained by condensing 1 with 5-amino-2,4-dihydro-2-phenyl-3H-pyrazol-3-one ( 9 ).     

Studies on v-triazoles. Part III. On the nitration of 9-oxo-1H,9H-benzopyrano[2,3-d]-v-triazole

The nitration of 9-oxo-1H,9H-benzopyrano[2,3-d]-v-triazole ( 1 ) leads not to the expected benzenoid substitution product 2 but to initial attack on the triazole moiety resulting in fission to 3-diazo-2-nitrimino-2H-[1]benzopyran-4-yl oxide ( 3 ). Mild hydrolysis of 3 results in cleavage of the nitrimine to give 3-diazo-2-oxo-2H-[1]benzopyran-4-yl oxide ( 4 ). Further nitration of 3 under more forcing conditions leads to the 6-nitro derivative of 3 which also undergoes facile hydrolysis to a diazocoumarin.     

The synthesis of 3,4-dihydro-2-methyl-3-oxo-2H-benzo-1,4-thiazine-2-carboxylic acids

The synthesis of 3,4-dihydro-2-methyl-3-oxo-2H-benzo-1,4-thiazine-2-carboxylic acids 4a, b, 6a -e is presented. After the condensation of o-aminothiophenols with diethyl 2-bromo-2-methylmalonate in the presence of KF as a catalyst the nitrogen in the fused derivatives 3a, b , was alkylated to provide 5a-f , the corresponding esters 3a, b, 5a-f were hydrolysed.     

Nitrogen bridgehead compounds. Part 88. Synthesis of 3H, 7H-[1,4]diazepino[3,4-b]quinazoline-3,7-diones

3H,7H-[1,4]Diazepino[3,4-b]quinazolone-3,7-diones 9, 11 were synthesized starting from 2-(1-bromo-ethyl)quinazolin-4(3H)-ones 3 and 17 via 2-[1-(4-methoxyphenylamino)ethyl]quinazolin-4(3H)-ones 4 and 18. Cyclization of 3-[2-(1-bromoethyl)-4-oxo-3,4-dihydroquinazolin-3-yl)propionic acid 14 by the action of triethylamine provided the first representative of the tricyclic 7H-[1,4]oxazepino[3,4-b]quinazoline-3,7-dione system, compound 15. The new tricyclic derivatives 9, 11 and 15 are characterized by uv, ir and ¹H nmr spectroscopy.     

Synthesis of 5-oxo-5H-chromeno[3,4-c]pyridine-1-carbonitriles and features of their NMR spectra

Two different methods leading to 5-oxo-5H-chromeno[3,4-c]pyridine-1-carbonitriles were investigated. Reactions of 3-aminocrotonirile with substituted salicylaldehydes provided 5-oxo-5H-chromeno[3,4-c]pyridine-1-carbonitriles with the same substituent on positions 2 and 4 of the system. The reaction of 3-aminocrotonirile with variety of substituted 3-acetylcoumarins lead to 5-oxo-5H-chromeno[3,4-c]pyridine-1-carbonitriles with different substituents on positions 2 and 4. The structures of the products were confirmed by spectroscopic methods. The presence of nitrile moiety in the structures with fixed geometry caused the highly downfield shift of the aromatic proton at position 10 in ¹H NMR spectrum. The electronic factor of the substituents caused variation of this downfield shift.     

Nitrogen bridgehead compounds. Part 76 Synthesis and stereochemistry of ethyl 9-benzylidene-6,7,8,9-tetrahydro-2-oxo-2H- and 4-oxo-4H-pyrido[1,2-a]pyrimidine-3-carboxylates and their homologues

Ethyl 4-oxo-6,7,8,9-tetrahydro-4H-pyrido[1,2-a]pyrimidine-3-carboxylates 1–4 , their piperidine ring homologues 5–6 and their 2-oxo isomers 7–9 were reacted with benzaldehyde. At low temperature, kinetically stable addition products were formed. Thermodynamically stable condensation products were obtained at higher temperature, which were also formed when the addition products were refluxed in benzene. The 9-benzyl derivatives were prepared by the hydrogenation of the condensation products over Pd/C. The stereochemical features of the new compounds were determined via ¹H and ¹³C nmr chemical shift and coupling constant analysis and NOE measurements.     

Synthesis of 1-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-2,4-imidazolidinedione derivatives through cyclic transformations of ethyl 2-oxo-3(2H)-benzoxazoleacetate derivatives

A series of ethyl 2-oxo-3(2H)-benzoxazoleacetate derivatives 2 have been synthesized. By reaction with ammonia, primary amines or hydrazine, these compounds 2 were transformed into 1-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-2,4-imidazolidinedione derivatives 4, 5 and 6 , respectively. Some of these new hydantoins 4 , treated with phosphorus oxychloride, gave 3H-2-oxoimidazo[2,1-b]benzoxazole derivatives 9 . Ethyl 2-oxo-3(2H)-benzoxazolepropionate ( 10 ) was prepared by a Michaël reaction of ethyl acrylate with 2-benzoxazolone ( 1a ). With 10 , no cyclic transformation was observed in the presence of ammonia or alkylamine.

The reaction of the hydrazone 3a with hydrazine hydrate in DBU/ethanol conveniently gave 3-(4-amino-5-methyl-4H-1,2,4-triazol-3-ylmethylene)-2-oxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoxaline 6 . The reactions of 6 with an equimolar and 2-fold molar amount of nitrous acid afforded 3-(α-hydroxyimino-4-amino-5-methyl-4H-1,2,4-triazol-3-ylmethyl)-2-oxo-1,2-dihydroquinoxaline 9 and 3-(α-hydroxyimino-5-methyl-2H-1,2,4-triazol-3-ylmethyl)-2-oxo-1,2-dihydroquinoxaline 10 , respectively, which were converted into the 3-heteroarylisoxazolo[4,5-b]quin-oxalines 13a,b and 11 , respectively. Compound 9 was also cyclized into the 8-quinoxalinyl-1,2,4-triazolo-[3,4-f][1,2,4]triazines 14a,b .     

Syntheses of 10-Oxo-10H-pyrido[1,2-a]thieno[3,4-d]pyrimidines and 10-Oxo-10H-pyrido[1,2-a]thieno[3,2-d]pyrimidines from methyl tetrahydro-4-oxo-3-thiophenecarboxylate and methyl tetrahydro-3-oxo-2-thiophenecarboxylate,respectively

A general synthesis of 10-Oxo-10H-pyrido[1,2-a]thieno[3,4-d]pyrimidines and 10-Oxo-10H-pyrido[1,2-a]-thieno[3,2-d]pyrimidines is described. Methyl tetrahydro-4-oxo-3-thiophenecarboxylate ( 13 ) was condensed with 6-aminonicotinic acid ( 18 ) to give 3,10-dihydro-10-oxo-1H-pyrido[1,2-a]thieno[3,4-d]pyrimidine-7-carboxylic acid ( 19 ). Treatment of 19 successively with chlorotrimethylsilane, N-chlorosuccinimide and water gave 10-oxo-10H-pyrido[1,2-a]thieno[3,4-d]pyrimidine-7-carboxylic acid ( 17 ). Methyl tetrahydro-3-oxo-2-thiophenecarboxylate ( 21 ) was converted to 10-oxo-10H-pyrido[1,2-a]thieno[3,2-d]pyrimidine-7-carboxylic acid ( 25 ) by an analogous route.     

Novel sultones. II. 1,4-dialkyl-9-oxo-9H-indeno [1,2-d] [1,2] oxathiin 3,3-dioxides

A new type of sultone, 1,4-dialkyl-9-oxo-9H-indeno[1,2-d] [1,2]oxathiin 3,3-dioxides, can be readily synthesized by treating 3 hydroxy-3-phenylalkanoic acid with a mixture of acid anhydride and sulfuric acid. A mechanism for the formation of these sultones is proposed. A postulated intermediate in the preparation of the 1,4-dimethyl analog, 3-ethylideneindan-1-one, was prepared and subsequently converted to the same 1,4-dimethyl compound by the same reagents. Bromination of these sultones gave the I-bromalkyl derivatives while treatment with hydrazine yielded pyrazolium sulfonates. Under different reaction conditions, 3-ethylidene-indan-1-one formed a pyrylium salt, which, in turn, was converted to a fused tricyclic pyridine derivative with ammonia.
