A new approach to the synthesis of 2-aminomethyl-3-phenyl-5-nitroindole

Bromination of 2-methyl-3-phenyl-5-nitroindoles has given previously unknown 2-bromoethyl-3-phenyl-5-nitroindoles, which were converted by the Delepine reaction into 2-aminomethyl-3-phenyl-5-nitroindoles. One of these (1-methyl-2-aminomethyl-3-phenyl-5-nitroindole) was also obtained by reductive amination of 1-methyl-2-formyl-3-phenyl-5-nitroindole by the Leuckart-Wallach reaction.     

Heterocycles: 2—Regiospecific addition of methylhydrazine to acetylenic ketones

The reaction of 1-p-methoxyphenyl-3-phenyl-2-propen-1-one and 3-p-methoxyphenyl-1-phenyl-2-propen-1-one with methylhydrazine gave 1-methyl-3-p-methoxyphenyl-5-phenylpyrazoline and 1-methyl-3-phenyl-5-p-methoxyphenylpyrazoline, respectively. These compounds, on oxidation, gave 1-methyl-3-p-methoxyphenyl-5-phenylpyrazole(2) and 1-methyl-3-phenyl-5-p-methoxyphenylpyrazole, respectively. When methyl-hydrazine was made to react with 1-p-methoxyphenyl-3-phenyl-2-propyn-1-one, a pyrazole was obtained which proved to be identical with 2. Confirmatory evidence for this identity was obtained from their spectral data.     

Synthesis of the Derivatives of 4-(5-Aryl-3-methylfuran-3-yl)-1,2,3-thiadiazole and Functionalization of 5-Aryl-2- methylfuran via Reactions of Thiadiazole Ring

By arylation of 2-methyl-3-acetylfuran via the Gomberg–Bachmann reaction 5-(4-ethoxycarbonylphenyl)-, 5-(2-nitrophenyl), and 5-(4-nitrophenyl)-2-methyl-3-acetylfurans were synthesized. Carboethoxyhydrazones of 2-methyl-5-phenyl-3-acetylfuran and its phenyl-substituted analogs when treated with thionyl chloride form 4-(5-aryl-2-methylfuran-3-yl)-1,2,3-thiadiazoles by the Hurd–Mori reaction. Thermal stability of obtained compounds increases with the increase in electron-acceptor action of substituent in phenyl ring. Opening of thidiazole ring in the compounds synthesized under the action of potassium tert-butylate in THF in the presence of alkyl iodides leads to the corresponding alkylthioethynylfurans. Performing the reaction with potassium carbonate in DMF in the presence of excess morpholine permits the preparation of (2-methyl-5- arylfuran-3-yl)thioacetylmorpholides.

Design, synthesis and hypoglycemic activity of 3-methyl-1-phenyl-4-{4-[(5-methyl-2-phenyloxazol-4-yl)methoxy]benzylene(benzyl)}-2-pyrazol-5-one

Based on the SAR (structure activity relationship) of TZDs (thiazolidinediones), 3-methyl-1-phenyl-2-pyrazoline-5-one was selected as a substitute for TZD. Compounds of 3-methyl-1-phenyl-4-{4-[(5-methyl-2-phenyloxazol-4-yl)methoxy]benzylene(benzyl)}-2-pyrazol-5-one were designed and synthesized to find some more hypoglycemic active agents and further investigate the SAR of this class of compounds. Butanedione monoxime reacted with (substituted) benzaldehyde via cyclization and chlorination to give 4-(chloromethyl)-5-methyl-2-phenyloxazole derivatives, which condensed with 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde or vanillin, and was followed by the Knoevenagel reaction with 3-methyl-1-phenyl-2-pyrazol-5-one to give compounds Ia-Ih. Compounds Ia-Ih were hydrogenated with Pd-C to give IIa-IIh, and their hypoglycemic activity was evaluated with a glucose oxidase kit and insulin load test on normal mice. Sixteen new target compounds were synthesized. All the compounds were characterized by ¹H NMR, IR, MS and elemental analysis. The preliminary pharmacological tests show that the compounds have good hypoglycemic activity and can enhance the action of insulin, especially Ib, Id and If. __________ Translated from Chemical Journal of Chinese Universities, 2007, 28(4): 672–677 [译自: 高等学校化学学报]

Cycloaddition to aminomethylene derivatives of 1-phenyl-3-methylpyrazole-5-thione and 1-phenyl-3-methylpyrazole-5-selenone

Addition products — anhydrides of 1-phenyl-3-methyl-4-alkylamino-4,5,6-tetrahydrothio(seleno)pyrano-3, 2-pyrazole-5,6-dicarboxylic acids — were obtained by cycloaddition of maleic anhydride to aminomethylene derivatives of 1-phenyl-3-methylpyrazole-5-thione and 1-phenyl-3-methylpyrazole-5-selenone, while anhydrides of the corresponding dihydrothio(seleno)pyranopyrazoledicarboxylic acids were obtained by splitting out of an amine.
