Acetylenchemie, 33. Mitt.: Synthese von 2-substituierten Dihydrofuro[2,3-b]chinolinen

Summary The reaction of 3-iodo-4-methoxy-2(1H)-quinolinone (1) and 3-iodo-4,6,8-trimethoxy-2(1H)-quinolinone (2) with 2-methyl-3-butyn-2-ol under modified Heck-conditions gave the 2-substituted derivatives 2-(1-hydroxy-1-methylethyl)-4-methoxyfuro[2,3-b]-quinoline (3) and 2-(1-hydroxy-1-methylethyl-4,6,8-trimethoxyfuro[2,3-b]-quinoline (4). By a subsequent hydrogenation-reaction with a homogeneous catalyst (PtO₂/Rh₂O₃), the furoquinoline-derivatives yielded the dihydrofuro-[2,3-b]quinolines, identified as 2-(1-hydroxy-1-methylethyl-4-methoxy-2,3-dihydrofuro[2,3-b]quinoline (5) (racemic platydesmine) and 2-(1-hydroxy-1-methylethyl)-4,6,8-trimethoxy-2,3-dihydrofuro-[2,3-b]quinoline (6) (racemic precursor of O⁴-methylptelefolonium salt).

     

Conformational isomers in the photocyclodimerization of N-acylated dibenz[b,f]azepine derivatives

The benzophenone-sensitised photodimerizations of N-acetyl- and N-propionyldibenz[e,f]azepine were investigated in acetone as the solvent. In both the systems, the ¹H NMR analysis of the products revealed two isomeric photodimers differing in the chemical shifts and coupling constants of the cyclobutane protons, aromatic protons and the protons of the acetyl or propionyl group. Upon raising the temperature to ca. 70 °C the signals merge. The findings can be ascribed to a single thermally restricted conformational process such as the rotation about the C–N amide bond. The process exhibits free activation energies: ΔG^#=(74±2) kJ mol⁻¹ (N-acetyl) and ΔG^#=(70±2) kJ mol⁻¹ (N-propionyl).     

N,C10-Überbrückte Morphinalkaloide, 5H-10,13-Iminoethano-phenanthro[4,5-bcd]furan, 3. Mitt.

New synthesis of benzo[b][1,6]naphthyridines and pyrido[4,3-b]benz[f]azepines from lactim ethers of 3,4-dihydrocarbostyril and 1H-2,3,4,5-tetrahydrobenz[b]azepin-2-one

Condensation of lactim ethers of 3,4-dihydrocarbostyril and 1H-2,3,4,5-tetrahydrobenz[b]azepin-2-one with malonodinitrile, cyanoacetamide, and ethyl cyanoacetate gave the corresponding 2-methylidene derivatives. Their reactions with dimethylformamide diethyl acetal followed by cyclization into benzo[b][1,6]naphthyridines and pyrido[4,3-b]benz[f ]azepines were studied.

Synthesis of dibenzo[b,f][1,4]oxazepin-11(10H)-ones from 2-nitrobenzoic acids

Base-catalyzed intramolecular nucleophilic substitution for the 2-nitro group in 2-hydroxyanilides of 2-nitrobenzoic acids gave dibenzo[b,f][1,4]oxazepin-11(10H)-ones. In particular, 3-nitrodibenzo[b, f][1,4]oxazepin-11(10H)-one was obtained from N-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-2,4-dinitrobenzamide. The nitro group in the product could also be replaced under the action of O- and S-nucleophiles. Published in Russian in Izvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Studien zur Chemie von thienoanellierten O,N- und S,N-haltigen Heterocyclen, 10. Mitt.: Synthese von 2- substituierten Thieno-Diltiazemderivaten

Summary The syntheses of 2-acetyl-, 2-benzyl-, and 2-ethyl-thieno-diltiazem derivatives are described starting from the corresponding 5-substituted 3-nitro-2-thiophenthiolvia reaction with racemic methyltrans-3-(4-methoxyphenyl)-glycidate under different conditions (solvent, catalyst, temperature) to obtain purethreo orerythro products. The nitro groups of these products were reduced and the resulting amino esters cyclized. The thieno[2,3-b][1,4]thiazepin-5(4H)-ones were N-alkylated and acetylated in position 3. The desired 2-substituted 4-(2-dimethylaminoethyl)-4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-7-(4-methoxyphenyl)-5-oxothieno[2,3-b][1,4]thiazepin-6-yl acetates were isolated in good yields.

Synthese von benzanellierten Carbacephamen, 1. Mitt.

Summary The direct intramolecular acylation and alkylation of the phenylsulfonylmethyl-group in the -lactames5a and7 are not successful. The postulated intermediate8 of the acylating reaction could be quenched with trimethylchlorosilane as the stable silylketale10. Desulfonation and desilylation of10 leads to the title compound12. The reaction of7 with base does not result in a carbacephame. Instead, the benzo[b]-azepinones15c,d have been obtained.

     

Electron transfer from dibenzo[b,f]-1-azapentalene dianion: Attempted synthesis of dibenzo[b,f]-1-azapentalene

When dibenzo[b,f]-1-azapentalene dianion (3) was allowed to react with either iron (III) chloride or ethylene bromide, a one-electron transfer from3 took place readily to give the radical anion11. Further electron transfer from11 did not occur presumably due to the antiaromatic character of dibenzo[b,f]-1-azapentalene (1) that would have resulted. The radical anion11 underwent further transformation by hydrogen abstraction from the solvent to give 5,10-dihydroindeno[1,2-b]indole (2) and by dimerization to themeso and (R,S) isomers of 5,5,10,10-tetrahydro-10,10-biindeno[1,2-b]indole (4 a and4 b) respectively.

Elektronentransfer von Dibenzo[b,f]-1-azapentalen-Dianion: Ein Versuch zur Synthese von Dibenzo[b,f]-1-azapentalen

Zusammenfassung Die Reaktion von Dibenzo[b,f]-1-azapentalen-Dianion (3) mit Eisen (III) oder Ethylenbromid ergab einen Ein-Elektronentransfer zum Radikalanion11. Ein weiterer Elektronentransfer fand nicht statt, vermutlich wegen des antiaromatischen Charakters von Dibenzo[b,f]-1-azapentalen (1), das dabei entstehen müßte. Das Radikalanion11 ergab unter Wasserstoffentzug aus dem Lösungsmittel 5,10-Dihydroindeno[1,2-b]indol (2), das weiter zummeso- bzw. (R,S)-5,5,10,10-tetrahydro-10,10-biindeno[1,2-b]indol (4 a bzw.4 b) dimerisierte.

     

Ein Beitrag zur Chemie des 2,3-Dihydro-3-oxo-benzo[b]thiophen-1,1-dioxids Synthesen mit Nitrilen, 86. Mitt.

Summary 2,3-Dihydro-3-oxo-benzo[b]thiophen-1,1-dioxide (1) reacts as CH-acidic component with amidines of orthoesters and anilines resp. to give the anilinomethylene derivates3, 4, and5. With triethyl orthoformiate the hydroxymethylene-compound7 is obtained. Anilino- and phenylhydrazino derivates8 and9 prove the carbonyl activity of1, azo-coupling leads to10, whereas treatment of1 with sulfur and malononitrile yields the benzo[b]thieno[2,3-d]thiophenes11. Introduction of substituents with active NH-functions in position 2 of the dicyanomethylene-product2, such as azocoupling, reaction with phenyl isocyanate and formation of enamines, leads to ring closure reactions between a nitrile and the NH-group. Thereby the phenyl-benzo[4,5]thieno[2,3-c]pyridazines12, the phenyl-1H-benzo[4,5]thieno[2,3-c]pyridines13 and the phenylamino-benzo[4,5]thieno[2,3-c]pyridines14 are obtained.¹³C and¹⁵N-NMR spectroscopy was used as proof of the ring closure reactions.

The structure of 12-(3-methoxyphenyl)-8-methyl-1-oxo-1,2,3,4,5,12-hexahydroindolo[2,1-b]quinazoline-6-carbonitrile was studied by X-ray diffraction analysis.

Zur Synthese des 6,7-Dihydro-15-hydroxy-7,7-dimethylbenzo[2,3] (1,6)-naphthyridino[5,6-b]chinazolin-9-ons

The reaction of1,1-dimethyl-3-oxobutylisothiocyanate1 with methyl anthranilate takes place via the 2-(2-thioxopyrimidine-1)-benzoic methylester2 a, which is rearranged to the methyl thioxopyridineanthranilate3 a. 3 a is alkylated by methyl anthranilate to the corresponding methylthio-product4 a, which reacts with anthranilic acid via5a to the benzo [1,6]naphthyridino[5,6-b]-chinazoline6. 6 can also be synthesized by condensation of 2-methylthiopyridines9 a, b with anthranilic acid and 4-dimethylaminpyridine-2-thione8a with methyl anthranilate resp.
