Heterocyclic and Carbocyclic 12-π-and 14-π-Systems, 47th Commnunication¹. Synthesis of 7,9-Dimethyl-4,5-dihydro-3H-benz[cd]azualene-3-one and 7,9-Dimethyl-3H-benz[cd]azulene-3-one. A Simple Synthesis of Azulenopseudophenalenons 4, 6, 8-Trimethylazulene ( 3 ) reacts after metalation with lithiumdiisopropyl-amide in ether with bromoacetic acid to the 6, 8-dimethylaltulene-4-propionic acid ( 4 ), which undergoes cyclization to the 7, 9-dimethyl-4, 5-dihydro-3H-benz [cd]-azulene-3-one ( 5 ) in the presence of p-toluenesulfonic acid; oxidation of 5 with 2, 3-dichloro-5, 6-dicyanobenzoquinone yields 7, 9-dimethyl-3H-benz [cd]azulene-3--one ( 1b ). Alkylation of 1b with triethyloxonium tetrafluoroborate in CH₂C1₂ gives the 3-ethoxy [cd]benzazulenium tetrafluoroborate ( 6 ).     

Scalable synthesis of substituted 2,7-dimethyl-9-phenylxanthen-9-ol (DMPx-OH): useful for the preparation of crystalline 5′-O-DMPx-protected nucleosides

A convenient single-step synthesis of several 2,7-dimethyl-9-phenylxanthen-9-ol (DMPx-OH) analogs has been accomplished using a Friedel-Crafts reaction. Treatment of various DMPx-OH with unprotected 2′-O-methoxyethyl-ribonucleosides (MOE) in the presence of B(C₆F₅)_3, as a Lewis Acid catalyst, furnished 5′-O-protected derivatives of 2′-MOE-ribonucleosides in good yields. The deprotection of the DMPx groups was accomplished by acid hydrolysis under very mild conditions. Among the five DMPx analogs synthesized, the 2,7-dimethyl-9-(4-nitrophenyl)xanthene-9-yl group furnished crystalline products enabling non-chromatographic isolation of 5′-O-protetced nucleosides.     

Metal‐Promoted Nucleophilic Addition and Cyclization of Diamines with Dicyanonitrosomethanide, [C(CN)2(NO)]−

Additional cyclization : Dicyanonitrosomethanide, [C(CN)₂(NO)]^? undergoes nucleophilic addition and cyclization of 1,2‐diaminoethane and 1,3‐diaminopropane on the nitrile groups to form imidazolinyl and 1,4,5,6‐tetrahydropyrimidinyl groups, respectively. Ethanolamine has lower reactivity and fails to cyclize.

     

Behavior of 9-cyclopropyl-10,10-dimethyl-9,10-dihydrophenanthren-9-ol in acid medium: Opening of the cyclopropane ring

According to the NMR data, opening of the cyclopropane ring in carbocations derived from 9-cyclopropyl-10,10-dimethyl-9,10-dihydrophenanthren-9-ol in acid medium follows two pathways, depending on the acidity. The first pathway is protonation of the cyclopropyl group; it occurs in strongly acidic medium (HSO₃F-SbF₅-SO₂ClF-CD₂Cl₂). The second pathway involves cyclopropyl-carbinyl rearrangement; it is typical of less acidic medium.     

The synthesis and transformations of 9H-imidazo[1,2-b]pyrazolo[4,3-d]-pyridazine and 9H-pyrazolo[4,3-d]-s-triazolo[4,3-b]pyridazine derivatives

The nucleophilic and electrophilic substitutions of 6-substituted 9,9-dimethyl-9H-imidazo[1,2-b]pyrazolo- [4,3-d]pyridazines 2 , nucleophilic substitutions of 6-substituted 9,9-dimethyl-9H-pyrazolo[4,3-d]-s-triazolo- [4,3-b]pyridazines 7 and some other transformations to give compounds 3 and 8 , respectively, were studied. It was shown that both heterocyclic systems are stable under the conditions employed in these transformations.     

Trapping of a Thiocarbonyl Ylide with Imidazolethiones,Pyrimidinethione, and Thioamides

The reactions of 1,1,3,3-tetramethyl-8-thia-5,6-diazaspirol[3.4]oct-5-en-2-one ( 1a ) with imidazole-2-thiones 3 and pyrimidine-2(1H)-thione ( 6 ) in CHCl₃ at 40 – 50° yield 2,2,4,4-tetramethylcyclobutanone dithioacetals of type 4 and 7 , respectively, by interception of the intermediate thiocarbonyl ylide 2a (Scheme 2). Thiirane 5 is formed as a minor product by 1,3-dipolar electrocyclization of 2a . When thioacetamide ( 8a ) and thiobenzamide ( 8b ) are used as trapping reagents, the primary adduct 10 undergoes a spontaneous cyclization by intramolecular nucleophilic addition of the imino group at the carbonyl group to yield bicyclic products of type 9 . The structure of 9a has been established by X-ray crystallography.     

Structural Studies of 1,8-Disubstituted Naphthalenes as Probes for nucleophile-electrophile interactions

Results of crystal structure analyses of seven 1, 8-disubstituted naphthalenes ( 2a , 8-(N,N-dimethylamino)-1-naphthyl methyl ketone; 2b , 8-(N, N-dimethylamino)naphthalene-1-carboxylic acid; 2c , methyl 8-(N, N-dimethylamino)naphthalene-1-carboxylate; 2d , 8-methoxy-1-naphthyl methyl ketone; 2e , 8-methoxynaphthalene-1-carboxylic acid; 2f , N, N-dimethyl-8-methoxynaphthalene 1-carboxamide; 2g , N, N-dimethyl-8-hydroxynaphthalene-1-carboxamide) with a nucleophilic centre (N(CH₃)₂, OCH₃, OH) at one of the peri positions and an electrophilic centre (carbonyl C) at the other are described. All seven molecules show a characteristic distortion pattern: the exocyclic bond to the electrophilic centre is splayed outward, and the one to the nucleophilic centre is splayed inward; the carbonyl C is displaced from the plane of its three bonded atoms towards the nucleophile. This distortion pattern differs from that found in other 1,8-disubstituted naphthalenes and is interpreted as an expression of incipient nucleophilic addition to a carbonyl group. The crystal structure of 2b contains an ordered arrangement of equal numbers of amino acid and zwitterionic molecules.     

Intramolecular cyclization of cycloalkene carboxylic acid chlorides

Thermal cyclization of cyclooctene-4-yl-carboxylic acid chloride (5) and cycloheptene-4-yl-carboxylic acid chloride (10) yielded mixtures of mainly endo and exo 2-chlorobicyclo[3.3.1]nonane-9-one (7 and 8), and mixtures of endo and exo 2-chlorobicyclo[3.2.1]octane-8-one (12 and 13), respectively. AlCl₃-catalyzed cyclization of 10 gave the same product composition as the uncatalyzed reaction. In the AlCl₃-catalyzed cyclization of 5 considerable amounts of bicyclo[3.3.1]non-2-en-9-one (6) and exo 3-chlorobicyclo[3.3.1]nonane-9-one (9) were obtained in addition to 7 and 8.     

Nucleophilic substitution approach towards 1,3-dimethylbarbituric acid derivatives—new synthetic routes and crystal structures

We describe simple, convenient and high-yielding nucleophilic substitution reactions to synthesize new derivatives of 1,3-dimethylbarbituric acid (1a). Based on its active C5 position, condensing 1a with sulfuryl chloride gives the corresponding 5,5-dichloro-1,3-dimethylbarbituric acid (13). The latter was reacted with silver nitrite and potassium cyanide to afford 5-chloro-5-nitro-1,3-dimethylbarbituric acid (14) and 5-cyano-1,3-dimethylbarbiturate (17), respectively. Furthermore, by employing the nucleophilic character of 2,3-dihydro-1,3-diisopropyl-4,5-dimethylimidazol-2-ylidene (8) the obtained compounds 13 and 14 have been converted to 2-chloro-1,3-diisopropyl-4,5-dimethyl-1H-imidazol-3-ium-1,3-dimethyl-5-nitro-1,3-dimethylbarbiturate (18) and 1,3-dimethylbarbituric acid trimer (21), respectively. X-ray structures for compounds 13, 14, 17, 18 and 21 were determined.     

Synthesis of aza-aromatic hydroxylamine-O-sulfonates and their application to tandem nucleophilic addition-electrophilic 5-endo-trig cyclization

Hydroxylamine-O-sulfonic acid (HOSA) was used as an efficient nucleophilic amination reagent for 2-chloropyrimidines, 2-chloroquinolines, and 1-chloroisoquinoline. The newly obtained heteroaromatic hydroxylamine-O-sulfonates subjected to the reaction with acyl isothiocyanates underwent tandem nucleophilic addition-electrophilic 5-endo-trig cyclization. The mechanism of the cyclization was investigated with use of the long-range corrected hybrid density functional ωB97X-D/6-31+G^∗ and SM8 (DMF) solvation model. The structures of the heteroaromatic hydroxylamine-O-sulfonates and N-(5-methoxy-2H-[1,2,4]thiadiazolo[2,3-a]pyrimidin-2-ylidene)benzamide were confirmed by single crystal X-ray analysis. N-(2H-[1,2,4]thiadiazolo[3,2-a]isoquinolin-2-ylidene)benzamide exhibited a pronounced in vitro cytostatic activity against human tumor cell lines SISO, LCLC, A-427, DAN-G, and RT-4 (IC₅₀ in the range 1.47-2.97 μM).     

Recherches sur la formation et la transformation des esters LXVII. Note sur la scission des acides ω-(N-phénylthiocarbamylamino)-alcoyl-sulfuriques à divers pH

In aqueous solutions at 100°C varying from HCl 2N to NaOH 2N , N-phenylthiocarbamoyl derivatives of aminoalkylsulfuric monoesters C₆H₅NH? CS? R? OSO₃H are split in the following ways:

• (a) With R = ? CH₂? CH(CH₃)? or ? (CH₂)₃? the scission of the monoester group is very rapid in the hole pH-range studied, especially in alkaline medium; the resulting cyclic products, 5-methyl-2-phenylamino-thiazoline and 2-phenylimino-tetrahydrothiazine respectively, formed by nucleophilic attack of an unshared pair of the S atom on the C bearing the monoester group, have been isolated and identified.
• (b) With R = ? (CH₂)₄? , the rate of the scission in alkaline or neutral medium is very much higher than that of an alkylsulfuric monoester; in these media a cyclic product is also formed (this time by nucleophilic attack of the unshared pair of the thiocarbamoylated N atom on the C bearing the monoester function) which has been isolated after alcaline scission, and identified as N-phenylcarbomoyl-pyrrolidine. In acid medium, no special influence of the phenylthiocarbamoyl group is observed.
• (c) With R = ? (CH₂)₅? or ? (CH₂)₆? , the rate of the scission in alkaline medium is 30 to 1000 times lower than in the previous cases; no pure organic scission products have been isolated. In acid or neutral medium, these two esters behave like usual alkylsulfuric acids.

     

2-Stannyl-1, 3-dithiane Herstellung,Sn/Li-Transmetallierung und Verwendung für Cyclisierungen

2-Stannyl-1,3-dithianes. Preparation, Sn/Li-Transmetallation, and Use for Cyclizations In order to test the possibility of generating nucleophilic 2-lithio-1, 3-dithiane centers in the presence of electrophilic groups in the same molecule, the stannylated dithianes 1 - 3 were prepared or generated. Solutions of the lithio derivatives 2a and 2b could either be obtained by metallation of 1 with lithiumdiisopropylamide (LDA) or by transmetallation of 3 with alkyllithium reagents. Alkylations of 2 led to the alkyl-stannyl-dithianes 4 - 7 . Additions of the trimethylstannylated lithiodithiane 2a to aldehydes and ketones at low temperature led - after hydrolysis - to the adduct alcohols 8 ; warming up to room temperature before hydrolysis furnished keten thioacetals 9 only with acetone (→ 9b ) and cyclohexanone (→ 9c ) as carbonyl component, while still the simple adducts 8a and 8d were isolated with benzaldehyde and cyclohexenone, respectively. Methyl benzoate and benzoic acid anhydride reacted with 2a to produce the tin-free derivatives 12 and 14 , respectively. It is shown that the Sn/Li-exchange at the 2-position of dithianes 4 - 7 , 15 and 16 takes place within minutes at ?78°, whereas H/Li-metallation does not occur at all at this temperature. In situ preparation of the cyclization products 17 - 19 from halo-epoxides is described. The overall yields of Sn/Li-exchange ( 3 → 2 ), epoxyalkylation ( 2 → 15 and 16 , repectively), Sn/Li-exchange in 15 and 16 , cyclization (→ 17 – 19 ) are twice as high (up to 80%) with the tributylin than with the trimethyltin derivatives. The intramolecular 1, 3 nucleophilic reaction 20a → 17 is complete within 5 min at ?78°. The total yields of cyclization products by the tin route ( 3b → 16 → 20b → 18 + 19 ) and by direct metallation (1, 3-dithiane → 21b → 20b → 18 + 19 ) are 63 and 30%, respectively.     

Synthesis of 4H-1,3,4-oxadiazino[5,6-b]quinoxalines from 2-substituted quinoxaline 4-oxides

The reaction of 6-chloro-2-(1-methylhydrazino)quinoxaline 4-oxide 8 with acetic anhydride resulted in the intramolecular cyclization to give 8-chloro-2,4-dimethyl-4H-1,3,4-oxadiazino[5,6-b]quinoxaline 7a , while the reaction of compound 8 with acetic anhydride/pyridine or acetic anhydride/acetic acid afforded 3-(2,2-diacetyl-1-memymydrazmo)-7-chloro-2-oxo-1,2-dihydroquinoxaline 9 , effecting no intramolecular cyclization. The reaction of 2-(2-acetyl-1-methylhydrazino)-6-chloroquinoxaline 4-oxide 10a or 6-chloro-2-(1-methyl-2-trifluoroacetylhydrazino)quinoxaline 4-oxide 10b with phosphoryl chloride provided compound 7a or 8-chloro-4-memyl-2-trifluoromethyl-4H-1,3,4-oxadiazino[5,6-b]quinoxaline 7b , respectively. The reaction of compound 7b with phosphorus pentasulfide gave 7-chloro-3-(1-methyl-2-trifluoroacetylhydrazino)-2-thioxo-1,2-dihydroquinoxaline 11 , whose dehydration with sulfuric acid in acetic acid afforded 8-chloro-4-methyl-2-trifluoromemyl-4H-1,3,4-thiadiazino[5,6-b]quinoxaline 12 .     

Synthesis and hydrazinolysis of β-(1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-yl)pyridines

Cyclization of the hydrazide of 5-ethoxycarbonyl-2,6-dimethylpyridine-3-carboxylic acid by acylation with aromatic or aliphatic acid chlorides with subsequent boiling in POCl₃ or heating in orthoformic acid gave the corresponding ethyl 2,6-dimethyl-5-(5-R-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-yl)pyridine-3-carboxylate. The cyclization of the reaction products with hydrazine hydrate has been studied. Cyclization of the dihydrazide of 2,6-dimethyl-3,5-pyridinedicarboxylic acid under analogous conditions gave only 3,5-bis-(5-R-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-yl)-2,6-dimethylpyridines, containing R = 2-FC₆H₄, H.     

Short syntheses of 1,2,3,5-tetrahydro-5-oxopyrrolo-[1,2-a]quinoline-4-carboxylic acid and 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-6H-6-oxopyrido[1,2-a]quinoline-5-carboxylic acid derivatives

Short and efficient syntheses of 7-fluoro-8-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)-1,2,3,5-tetrahydro-5-oxopyrrolo[1,2-a]-quinoline-4-carboxylic acid and 8-fluoro-9-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-6H-6-oxopyrido[1,2-a]-quinoline-5-carboxylic acid are described. Both basic heterocycles were synthesized in two steps by the condensation of a benzoylacetate with an imino ether followed by an intramolecular nucleophilic displacement cyclization reaction.     

Theoretical study on structural and mechanistic aspects of synthesis of a 3-aminopyrazole derivative

The structure of 5-hydroxy-3,5-dimethyl-1-S-methylisothiocarbamoyl-2-pyrazolinium iodide (HDMCPI), a cyclic intermediate for a 3-aminopyrazole derivative, was determined by means of X-ray analysis and spectroscopic techniques. In a treatment of HDMCPI in alkaline aqueous solution, 4-acetyl-3(5)-amino-5(3)-methylpyrazole (AAMP) was unexpectedly yielded. The reaction of HDMCPI was monitored by ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectroscopy. It was shown that keto-imine tautomer appears as the only tautomeric form. Density functional theory explained the spontaneous formation of keto-imine tautomer, whose existence is the main condition for generating a carbanion in alkaline medium. The carbanion further undergoes cyclization and elimination of MeSH, thus yielding AAMP. In the reaction of acetylacetone with thiosemicarbazide instead of S-methylisothiosemicarbazide, there were no traces of AAMP. This result can be attributed to the absence of keto-imine form in the tautomeric equilibrium, which would provide the formation of a carbanion for a nucleophilic attack and further cyclization.     

Dérivés C-Glycosyliques XXXII. Synthèse de dérivés spiro-C-glycosylidéniques par cyclisation nucléophile. Communication préliminaire

C -Glycosylic derivatives XXXII. Synthesis of spiro-C -glycosylidenic derivatives via nucleophilic cyclization. On treatment with compounds bearing two nucleophilic groups as ethylenediamine, o-phenylenediamine or their monooxa or monothia analogues, 1,2:5, 6-di-O-isopropylidene-α-D -ribo-hexofuranos-3-ulose gave with excellent yields the corresponding spiro-C-glycosylidenic derivative; for example, when using o-phenylenediamine, a spirobenzimidazoline ( 5 ) was obtained. The latter compound underwent, on oxidation, a ring expansion to a morpholinobenzimidazole ( 8 ). Spirobenzodiazepines, spirobenzooxazepines and spirobenzothiazepines were formed when applying the same type of cyclization reaction to 3-C-acetylmethylene-3-deoxy-1,2:5,6-di-O-isopropylidene-α-D -ribo- and α-D -xylo-hexofuranoses.     

Secondary Metabolites from Hericium erinaceus and Their Anti-Inflammatory Activities

Hericium erinaceus, a culinary and medicinal mushroom, is widely consumed in Asian countries. Chemical investigation on the fruiting bodies of Hericium erinaceus led to the isolation of one new ergostane-type sterol fatty acid ester, erinarol K (1); and eleven known compounds: 5α,8α -epidioxyergosta-6,22-dien-3β-yl linoleate (2); ethyl linoleate (3); linoleic acid (4); hericene A (5); hericene D (6); hericene E (7); ergosta-4,6,8(14),22-tetraen-3-one (8); hericenone F (9); ergosterol (10); ergosterol peroxide (11); 3β,5α,6α,22E-ergosta-7,22-diene-3,5,6-triol 6-oleate (12). The chemical structures of the compounds were determined by 1D and 2D NMR (nuclear magnetic resonance) spectroscopy, mass spectra, etc. Anti-inflammatory effects of the isolated aromatic compounds (5–7, 9) were evaluated in terms of inhibition of pro-inflammatory mediator (TNF-α, IL-6 and NO) production in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated murine RAW 264.7 macrophage cells. The results showed that compounds 5 and 9 exhibited moderate activity against TNF-α (IC₅₀: 78.50 μM and 62.46 μM), IL-6 (IC₅₀: 56.33 μM and 48.50 μM) and NO (IC₅₀: 87.31 μM and 76.16 μM) secretion. These results supply new information about the secondary metabolites of Hericium erinaceus and their anti-inflammatory effects.     

Direct introduction of heterocyclic residues into 1,2,4-triazin-5(2H)ones

3-Aryl-1,2,4-triazin-5(2H)-ones 1a-c react with indoles 2a-c in trifluoroacetic acid/chloroform or in boiling butanol or acetic acid to give 3-aryl-6-(indolyl-3)-1,6-dihydro-1,2,4-triazin-5(2H)-ones 3a-g . Oxidation of the dihydro-1,2,4-triazin-5(2H)-ones 3a-e afforded 6-(indolyl-3)-1,2,4-triazin-5(2H)-ones 4a-e , products of nucleophilic substitution of hydrogen in 1a-c . Refluxing 1b with N-methylpyrrote 5b in butanol for an extended time resulted in the formation of 3-(4-chlorophenyl)-6-(1-meuiylpyrrolyl-2)-1,2,4-triazin-5(2H)-one 4h. The reaction of 1a-c with indoles 2a-c , pyrroles 5a,b , 1,3-dimethyl-2-phenylpyrazol-4-one (8) and aminothiazoles 9a,b in acetic anhydride affords the 1-acetyl-3-aryl-6-hetaryl-1,6-dihydro-1,2,4-triazin-5(2H)-ones 6a-s . Reaction of 1a-c with N-methyl-pyrrole 5b in acetic anhydride gives beside the 1:1 addition products 6h-k also the 2:1 addition products 7a-c .     

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.
