Facile synthesis of some new functionalized 2-selenoxopyrimidines

Abstract

Some new functionalized 2-selenoxodihydropyrimidines 1–6 were synthesized in good yields via a simple one-pot reaction. The simple method depended on the reaction of selenourea with some nitrile active methylene compounds under basic-catalyzed conditions. Also, treatment of selenourea with each of malononitrile and ethyl cyanoacetate in the presence of benzaldehyde under the same basic reaction conditions afforded the 2-selenoxopyrimidine-5-carbonitriles 7 and 8, respectively. Furthermore, selenourea reacted with benzaldehyde and different β-dicarbonyl compounds under Biginelli reaction conditions to afford the 2-selenoxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyrimidine-5-carboxylates 10, 11 and 13. Using acetylacetone as a substrate in Biginelli reaction yielded the unexpected 5-benzylidene-4,6-dimethyl-pyrimidine-2(5H)-selenone (14). The structures of the synthesized compounds were established on the basis of elemental analysis, IR, ¹H- and ¹³C-NMR and mass spectral data.     

Synthesis of Some Bicyclic Thiazolo- and Oxothiazolo-Pyrimidines

Abstract

Oxothiazolopyrimidine compounds 2(a–e) were synthesized under reflux condition by a simple one-pot condensation reaction of the pyrimidine derivative 1 and chloroacetylchloride in the presence of silver acetate as a catalyst. In a similar way the thiazolopyrimidine 3 and oxothiazolopyrimidine 4 were synthesized by reaction of pyrimidine derivative 1 with 1,2-dibromoethane and 2-bromopropanoic acid respectively. The yields of products following recrystallization from ethanol were of the order of 55–89%.      

Reaction of Dimethyl Acetylenedicarboxylate With 2-Mercaptoperimidine and 2-Mercaptobenzimidazole

A mixture of equimolar quantities of dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate ( 2 ) with either 2-mercaptoperimidine ( 1 ) or 2-mercaptobenzimidazole ( 5 ) was heated in absolute benzene in the presence of triphenylphosphine as a catalyst under reflux conditions for 1 h (the reaction was monitored by TLC until the consumption of the starting materials). The solvent was concentrated under vacuum and the residue was subjected to chromatographic plates using toluene-ethylacetate (2:1) as an eluent. The products in each reaction were separated as two migrating zones. Each zone was removed from the plate and recrystallized from the appropriate solvent. The products of the first reaction are 10-methoxy-11-oxo-11H-8-thia-7,11a-diaza-benzo[de]anthracene-9-carboxylic acid methyl ester ( 3 ) and 8-thia-7,10a-diaza-cyclopenta[a]phenalene-9,10-dicarboxylic acid dimethyl ester ( 4 ), while the products of the second reaction are 3-methoxy-4-oxo-4H-1-thia-4a,9-diaza-fluorene-2-carboxylic acid methyl ester ( 10 ) and benzo[4, 5]imidazo[2,1-b]thiazole-2,3-dicarboxylic acid dimethyl ester ( 11 ). The mechanisms of the observed reactions are suggested.

Green synthesis of diethyl((2-iodo-4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)amino)(aryl)methyl)phosphonates as potent α-glucosidase inhibitors

Abstract

Novel diethyl((2-iodo-4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)amino)(aryl)methyl)phosphonates (4a-j) were synthesized via a simple and efficient one pot by three-component condensation reaction (Kabachnik-Fields reaction) of 2-iodo-4-trifluoromethyl aniline, aromatic aldehydes and diethyl phosphite in presence of anatase TiO₂ nanoparticles as catalyst under solvent free conditions. The molecular docking studies of synthesized compounds with α-glucosidase enzyme revealed that these compounds have strong α-glucosidase inhibitory activity. The synthesized compounds (4a-j) are also screened for in vitro α-glucosidase inhibitory activity and the results showed compound 4i as the strongest inhibitor and compounds 4a, 4b, 4f and 4g as stronger inhibitors even better than the reference standard acarbose.     

Expedient Synthesis of 6-Aryl Derivatives of 3,4-Dihydro-1,4,4a,6a-tetraaza-benzo[a]fluoren-2-one: A New Heterocyclic Framework

Abstract

An efficient solvent-free access towards highly substituted pyrido[2′,3′:3,4]pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine-3-carbonitrile derivatives has been established through multi-component reaction of 1H‐pyrazolo[3,4‐b]pyridin‐3‐amine, aldehyde, 3-(1H-indol-3-yl)-3-oxopropanenitrile catalyzed by 1,1,3,3-tetramethylguanidine (TMG). The reaction allows the formation of one C?C and two C?N bonds with high yield. The significant features of this solvent-free reaction include mild reaction condition, readily accessible substrates, short reaction time, excellent yield, and broad substrate scopes as well as simple one-pot operation, no column chromatographic purification, which makes this strategy highly attractive.

Synthesis and structure of some substituted 2-amino-4-aryl-7-propargyloxy-4H-chromene-3-carbonitriles

A series of 2-amino-7-hydroxy-4H-chromene-3-carbonitriles 4a–l were synthesized through three-component reaction using sodium carbonate as a catalyst. The reaction was carried out in 96% ethanol-water medium (1:20 ratio in volume). Propargyl ether compounds 5a–l of these chromene-3-carbonitriles were successfully synthesized from corresponding hydroxyl chromene derivatives by reaction with propargyl bromide. Two different procedures were applied in this process: the procedure that used potassium carbonate in dried acetone and the procedure that used sodium hydride in dried DMF. The latter gave the ethers 5a–l in higher yields. The single-crystal X-ray structure of propargyl ether 5g has been recorded.

A New Procedure for Highly Regio‐ and Stereoselective Iodoacetoxylation of Protected Glycals and α‐1,2‐Cyclopropanated Sugars

Protected glycals and α‐1,2‐cyclopropanated sugars were converted in high yields and selectivities in less than 2 h at low temperatures to 2‐deoxy‐2‐iodoglycosyl acetates or novel 2‐deoxy‐2‐iodomethylglycosyl acetates using the simple, inexpensive reagent mixture of ammonium iodide, hydrogen peroxide, and acetic anhydride/acetic acid in acetonitrile. The protected glycals gave rise to 2‐deoxy‐2‐bromoglycosyl acetates when ammonium bromide was used instead of the iodide, although longer reaction times were required and selectivities were inferior. Other simple olefins such as styrene and indene were also converted to their corresponding 1,2‐trans‐iodoacetates.     

2-Aminoethanesulfonic acid: An efficient organocatalyst for green synthesis of spirooxindole dihydroquinazolinones and novel 1,2-(dihydroquinazolin-3(4H)isonicotinamides in water

Abstract

A facile and efficient one-pot procedure for the preparation of spirooxindole dihydroquinazolinone derivatives and new N-(4-oxo-2-phenyl-1,2-dihydroquinazolin-3(4H)-yl)isonicotinamides from reaction between isatoic anhydride, isoniazid and substituted aldehydes catalyzed by 2-aminoethanesulfonic acid (taurine) is describe. This new protocol has the advantages of environmental friendliness, good yields, and convenient operation. The reaction proceeds efficiently using water as green solvent and nontoxic catalysts that could be efficiently reused. Together with this simple workup procedure, use of the organocatalyst, and water as solvent without the need of column chromatographic purification, are the notable features of this methodology, which make this protocol a very efficient and green alternative to the traditional methods.

Condensation of 4-chloro-2H-chromene-3-carbaldehydes and ethyl-3-aminocrotonates with p-TsOH: a facile approach for the synthesis of chromenyldihydropyridines

The investigated reaction of 4-chloro-2H-chromene-3-carbaldehyde 1a with ethyl 3-oxobutanoate 2a in the presence of ammonium acetate provided two compounds, 2H-chromenyldihydropyridine dicarboxylate 3a and chromenopyridine carboxylate 4a. However, the reaction of 1a with ethyl-3-aminocrotonate 5a in the presence of p-TsOH provided selectively 2H-chromenyldihydropyridine dicarboxylate 3a with very good yield. The established method was applied for the preparation of series of 2H-chromenyldihydropyridine dicarboxylates 3a–q.
