Catalytic synthesis of 1,4-dihydropyridine derivatives using scandium(III) triflate

Scandium(III) triflate smoothly catalyzed the reaction of imines with ethyl propiolate (2.5 equiv) to produce the corresponding N-substituted 1,4-dihydropyridines in good yields in toluene or BTF under reflux conditions. It also catalyzed the reaction of aniline and ethyl propiolate (3.2 equiv) to give another 1,4-dihydropyridine bearing three ester groups in moderate yield under the same conditions.

Reactions of some 4-methylene-4H-pyran derivatives with primary and secondary amines

4-Dicyanomethylene-4H-pyrans react with secondary amines to give 2-aminopyridine and 2-pyridone derivatives which, in turn, have been used to prepare copyrine derivatives. These pyrans and primary amines gave copyrine and iminopyridone derivatives in addition to the dicyanomethylene-1,4-dihydropyridines, which had been reported previously. Reaction of cyanocarbamoylmethylene-4H-pyrans with secondary amines gave 2-pyrones, and with primary amines, gave copyrines and 1,4-dihydropyridine derivatives.

Sequential three-component reactions: synthesis, regioselectivity and application of functionalized dihydropyridines (DHPs) for the creation of fused naphthyridines

Facile and efficient synthesis of tetrasubstituted 1,4- and 1,6-dihydropyridines (DHPs) has been achieved by employing three-component domino reaction using dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate (DMAD), aliphatic amines, and α,β-unsaturated aldehyde in the presence of 30 mol % trifluoroacetic acid. Interestingly, regioselectivity for the synthesis of 1,4-dihydropyridines can be increased by using 30 mol % triflic acid. In addition, the synthesis of fused-naphthyridine derivatives has been accomplished involving imino-Diels-Alder reaction by employing 1,4-dihydropyridines, aromatic aldehydes, and aromatic amines.

The reactions of some pyranylideneiminium salts with amines. Part 1

The iminium salt, N,N-dimethyl-N-[2-(2,6-diphenyl-4H-pyran-4-ylidene)ethylidene]iminium perolilorate ( 1 ), reacts with secondary amines, such as piperidine, by exchanging the dimethyl-amino function for a piperidine. Primary amines react with 1 to give 1-alkyl-2-phenyl-4-phenacylidene-1,4-dihydropyridines. The bisiminium salt, N,N,N',N' -tetramethyI-N,N'-[2-(2,6-diphenyl-4H-pyran-4-ylidene)-1,3-propanediylidene]bis(iminium perchlorate) ( 2 ), reacts with ammonia to give 3,6-diphenylcopyrine and with primary amines to give the corresponding N,N' -dialkyl quaternary copyrines. The salt 2 reacts with secondary amines with exchange of the dimethylamino groups of 2 by the secondary arnine and addition of the amine at the 2-position of the pyran ring.     

Syntheses and bioactivities of substituted 9,10-dihydro-9,10-[1,2]benzenoanthracene-1,4,5,8-tetrones. Unusual reactivities with amines

A number of substituted 9,10-dihydro-9,10-[1,2]benzenoanthracene-1,4,5,8-tetrones have been synthesized and their anticancer and antimalarial activities evaluated. A one-pot synthesis of 2,5,8-trimethoxy-9,10-dihydro-9,10-[1,2]benzenoanthracene-1,4-dione (4) was achieved by heating a mixture of 1,4-dimethoxyanthracene, methoxyhydroquinone, silver oxide, and zinc iodide in toluene. Regioselective bromination of 4 and 2-methoxy-9,10-dihydro-9,10-[1,2]benzenoanthracene-1,4,5,8-tetrone (7) with N-bromosuccinimide provided 2-bromo-3,5,8-trimethoxy-9,10-dihydro-9,10-[1,2]benzenoanthracene-1,4-dione and 2-bromo-3-methoxy-9,10-dihydro-9,10-[1,2]benzenoanthracene-1,4,5,8-tetrone (1), respectively. The reactions of 1 with aliphatic primary amines and secondary amines, respectively, produced different products, a result most likely attributed to the different basicities (or nucleophilicities) and steric effects of the two kinds of amines. The structure of the displacement product, 2-bromo-3-[2-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)ethylamino]-9,10-dihydro-9,10-[1,2]benzenoanthracene-1,4,5,8-tetrone, from the reaction of 1 with tert-butyl 3-aminopropanoate was unequivocally determined by a single-crystal X-ray analysis. IC(50) values of triptycene bisquinones for the inhibition of L1210 leukemia cell viability are in the 0.11-0.27 microM range and for the inhibition of Plasmodium falciparum 3D7 are in the 4.7-8.0 microM range.     

Synthesis and michael reaction of 3,4-dimethylpyrrole

A two step synthesis of 3,4-dimethylpyrrole via the reduction of 3-carboethoxy-4-methyl-pyrrole is described. Michael addition of methyl vinyl ketone and butyn-2-one to 3,4-dimethylpyrrole gives the bisadducts, 2,5-bis(3-oxobutyl)-3,4-dimethylpyrrole and 2,5-bis(3-oxobutenyl)-3,4-dimethylpyrrole, respectively, while ethyl propiolate affords only the monoadduct, ethyl 3-(3,4-dimethylpyrrol-2-yl)propenoate. Catalytic reduction of the latter ester gives ethyl 3-(3,4-dimethylpyrrol-2-yl)propanoate which with ethyl propiolate gives ethyl 3-(5-carbethoxyethyl-3,4-dimethyl-2-yl)propenoate.

Methods for the synthesis of 4-pyrazolyl- and 4pyridyl-5-oxo-1, 4,5,7-tetrahydrofuro[3,4-b]pyridines

The most suitable method for the synthesis of 4-pyrazolyl- or 4-pyridyl-5-oxo-1, 4, 5, 7-tetrahydrofuro[3, 4b]pyridines uses 4-chloro- or 4-acetoxyacetoacetic esters in various versions of the Hantsch synthesis with closure of a lactone ring during the reaction. Some of the intermediate products (2-chloromethyl- and 2acetoxymethyl-1,4-dihydropyridines) were isolated. Cyclization with the formation of lactones does not occur in N-substituted 1, 4-dihydropyridines.Latvian Institute of Organic Synthesis, Riga.

Synthesis, Cardiovascular Activity, and Electrochemical Oxidation of Nitriles of 5-Ethoxycarbonyl-2-methylthio-1,4-dihydropyridine-3-carboxylic Acid

Nitriles of 4-aryl-5-ethoxycarbonyl-2-methylthio-1,4-dihydropyridine-3-carboxylic acid have been obtained by the methylation of 1,4-dihydropyridine-2-thiolates; of 1,4-dihydropyridine-2(3H)-thiones in the presence of a stoichiometric amount of piperidine, and of a mixture of 1,4,5,6-tetrahydro- and 1,4-dihydropyridine-2-thiolates with methyl iodide. One-pot multicomponent synthesis has also been used in the condensation of ethyl 2-arylmethyleneacetoacetate, 2-cyanothioacetamide, piperidine, and methyl iodide; of ethyl acetoacetate, 3-aryl-2-cyanothioacrylamide, piperidine, and methyl iodide; and of ethyl acetoacetate, an aromatic aldehyde, 2-cyanothioacetamide, piperidine, and methyl iodide. The latter, a five-component method, takes place rapidly and under mild conditions, it is efficient (yields of 75-96%, economy of time, labour, and resources) and green (there is no need to synthesize lachrymators, such as 3-aryl-2-cyanothioacrylamides).The cardiovascular activity and the electrochemical oxidation of the synthesized 2-methylthio-1,4-dihydropyridines have been investigated. A comparative analysis has been carried out of the ability towards electrochemical oxidation as a function of the electronic properties of the substituent at position 4 of the heterocycle.

Synthesis of chiral nonracemic 1-(2-pyridinyl)ethylamines: stereospecific introduction of amino function onto the 2-pyridinylmethyl carbon center

Stereospecific substitutions of optically pure 1-(pyridinyl)ethyl methanesulfonates with various amines are described. The reaction of (R)- or (S)-1-(2-pyridinyl)ethyl methanesulfonate with primary amines, including amino acid esters, gives N-substituted (S)- or (R)-1-(2-pyridinyl)ethylamines (4) with inversion of the configuration. Secondary cyclic amines are also reacted with (R)-2 to give the corresponding substituted amines (5) in excellent yields. Optically pure and meso triamine ligands having two pyridine rings, (S,S)-4f and meso-4f, (S,S)-9e, (S,R)-9e, and (S,S)-9f, have been prepared in stereochemically pure form by this method. Not only the substitution reaction of optically active 2 but also that of 1-(4-pyridinyl)ethyl and 1-(3-pyridinyl)ethyl methanesulfonates 11 and 14 take place stereospecifcally with inversion of the chiral center.     

Reaction of N-phenylsulfonylbenzoxazolone with some amines

The reaction of N-phenylsulfonylbenzoxazolone with amines was investigated in order to study the mechanism of the reaction between aryloxazolones and amines. The sulfonyl group accelerates the reaction considerably. The structure of 2-(phenylsulfamido)phenyl esters of the corresponding N-substituted carbamic acids was assigned to the products on the basis of the IR spectra and alternative synthesis. The reaction with secondary aliphatic amines (dimethyl- and diethylamine)proceeds considerably more slowly and results in the formation of 2-(phenylsulfamido)phenol.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 10, pp. 1333–1336, October, 1971.
