Synthesis and reactions of 10,10‐dimethyl‐10H‐pyrido[1,2‐a]indol‐6‐ones

Cyclocondensation of 2,3,3‐trimefhyl‐3H‐indoles 2 with malonates 3 gives 8‐hydroxy‐10,10‐dimefhyl‐10H‐pyrido[1,2‐a]indol‐6‐ones 4 , which were halogenated in position 7, 8 and 9 with sulfuryl chloride, bromine or phosphoroxychloride to give the corresponding halo‐10,10‐dimethyl‐10H‐pyrido[1,2‐a]indoles 5, 6, 7 and 8 . Amination affords the 8‐amino‐10,10‐dimethyl‐10H‐pyrido[1,2‐a]indol‐6‐one 9 . Nitration gives either the 10,10‐dimethyl‐7‐nitro‐10H‐pyrido[1,2‐a]indoles 10 or 10,10‐dimethyl‐7‐hydroxy‐10H‐pyrido[1,2‐a]indoles 11 , depending on the conditions.     

A convenient route to pyridones,pyrazolo[2,3‐a]pyrimidines and pyrazolo[5,1‐c]triazines incorporating antipyrine moiety

Condensation of 4‐aminoantipyrine with ethyl acetoacetate, ethyl benzoylacetate, and ethyl cyanoacetate furnished the corresponding ethyl 3‐(1,2‐dihydro‐1,5‐dimethyl‐2‐phenyl‐3‐oxo‐3H‐pyrazol‐4‐yl)aminoacrylate and 2‐cyano‐N‐[(1,2‐dihydro‐1,5‐dimethyl‐2‐phenyl‐3‐oxo‐3H‐pyrazol‐4‐yl)]acetamide derivatives. The aminoacrylates derivatives react with acetonitrile and sodium hydride to give 2‐amino‐6‐methyl‐1‐(1,2‐dihydro‐1,5‐dimethyl‐2‐phenyl‐3‐oxo‐3H‐pyrazol‐4‐yl)‐4‐pyridone. Reaction of the cyanoacetamide derivative with dimethylformamide‐dimethylacetal (DMF‐DMA) afforded 2‐cyano‐N‐[1,2‐dihydro‐1,5‐dimethyl‐2‐phenyl‐3‐oxo‐pyrazol‐4‐yl]‐2‐(N,N‐dimethylamino)methylene acetamide in high yield. Treatment of the latter with 5‐aminopyrazole derivatives afforded the corresponding pyrazolo[2,3‐a]pyrimidines. 2‐cyano‐N‐[(1,2‐dihydro‐1,5‐dimethyl‐2‐phenyl‐3‐oxo‐3H‐pyrazol‐4‐yl)]acetamide also reacts with heterocyclic diazonium salts to give the corresponding pyrazolo[5,1‐c]‐1,2,4‐triazine derivatives. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

A variety of 3″,5″‐diaryl‐3″H,4′H‐dispiro[cyclohexane‐1,2′‐chromene‐3′,2″‐[1,3,4]thiadiazol]‐4′‐ones 3a‐c were synthesized regioselectively through the reaction of 4′H,5H‐trispiro[cyclohexane‐1,2′‐chromene‐3′,2″‐[1,3,4]oxadithiino[5,6‐c]chromene‐5″,1″′‐cyclohexan]‐4′‐one ( 1 ) with nitrilimines (generated in situ via triethylamine dehydrohalogenation of the corresponding hydrazonoyl chlorides 2a‐c ) in refluxing dry toluene. Single crystal X‐ray diffraction studies of 3a,b add support for the established structure. Similarly, 3′,5′‐diaryl‐2,2‐dimethyl‐3′H,4H‐spiro[chromene‐3,2′‐[1,3,4]thiadiazol]‐4‐ones 5a‐c were obtained in a regioselective manner through the reaction of 2,2,5′,5′‐tetramethyl‐4H,5′H‐spiro[chromene‐3,2′‐[1,3,4]oxadithiino[5,6‐c]chromen]‐4‐one ( 4a ) with nitrilimines under similar reaction conditions. On the other hand, reaction of 2,5′‐diethyl‐2,5′‐dimethyl‐4H,5′H‐spiro[chromene‐3,2′‐[1,3,4]oxadithiino‐[5,6‐c]chromen]‐4‐one ( 4b ) with nitrilimines in refluxing dry toluene afforded the corresponding 3′,5′‐diaryl‐2‐ethyl‐2‐methyl‐3′H,4H‐spiro[chromene‐3,2′‐[1,3,4]thiadiazol]‐4‐ones 5d‐f as two unisolable diastereoisomeric forms.     

Reaction of 2,3‐Dichloro‐1,4‐Naphthoquinone with 1‐Phenylbiguanide and 2‐Guanidinebenzimidazole

When 2,3‐dichloro‐1,4‐naphthoquinone (DCHNQ) ( 1 ) is allowed to react with 1‐phenylbiguanide (PBG) ( 2 ), 4‐chloro‐2,5‐dihydro‐2,5‐dioxonaphtho[1,2‐d]imidazole‐3‐carboxylic acid phenyl amide ( 4 ), 6‐chloro‐8‐phenylamino‐9H‐7,9,11‐triaza‐cyclohepta[a]naphthalene‐5,10‐dione ( 5 ) and 4‐dimethyl‐amino‐5,10‐dioxo‐2‐phenylimino‐5,10‐dihydro‐2H‐benzo[g]quinazoline‐1‐carboxylic acid amide ( 6 ) were obtained. While on reacting 1 with 2‐guanidinebenzimidazole (GBI) ( 3 ) the products are 3‐(1H‐benzoimidazol‐2‐yl)‐4‐chloro‐3H‐naphtho[1,2‐d]imidazole‐2,5‐dione ( 7 ) and 3‐[3‐(1H‐benzoimidazol‐2‐yl)‐ureido]‐1,4‐dioxo‐1,4‐dihydronaphthalene‐2‐carboxylic acid dimethylamide ( 8 ).     

Strategy to Construct Stair‐Shaped Partially Reduced Naphtho[1,2‐b]pyrano[2,3‐d]oxepines and Dinaphtho[1,2‐b,d]oxepines

A concise and efficient base‐induced synthesis of stair‐shaped, 4‐methylthio‐2‐oxo‐5,6‐dihydro‐2H‐naphtho[1,2‐b]pyran[2,3‐d]oxepine‐3‐carbonitriles ( 3 ) has been delineated by the reaction of 3,4‐dihydronaphtho[1,2‐b]oxepin‐5(2H)‐one ( 1 ) and methyl 2‐cyano‐3,3‐dimethylthioacrylate in DMSO using powdered KOH as a base at room temperature. Amination of 3 has been achieved by reaction with secondary amine in ethanol at reflux temperature to yield 4‐sec‐amino‐2‐oxo‐5,6‐dihydro‐2H‐naphtho[1,2‐b]pyran[2,3‐d]oxepine‐3‐carbonitriles ( 4 ). Reaction of 3 with aryl methyl ketone ( 5 ) in DMSO at room temperature using powdered KOH as a base produced stair‐shaped 5‐aryl‐7,8‐dihydro‐1,4‐dioxa‐2,3‐dioxodinaphtho[1,2‐b,d]oxepine ( 6 ) in good yields. However, reaction of 6‐aryl‐2H‐pyran‐2‐one‐3‐carbonitrile ( 8 ) with 3,4‐dihydronaphtho[1,2‐b]oxepin‐5(2H)‐one ( 1 ) did not give similar product, but in lieu 4‐aryl‐5,6‐dihydronaphtho[1,2‐b]oxepino[4,5‐b]pyran‐2‐ylidene)acetonitrile ( 9 ) was isolated and characterized.

Reaction of 3,5‐diaminothiophene‐2‐carbonitrile derivatives 3a‐c with ethoxycarbonylmethyl isothiocyanate and/or N‐[bis(methylthio)methylene]glycine ethyl ester led to formation of 7‐substituted‐8‐amino‐5‐thioxo‐6H‐imidazo[1,2:1′,6′]pyrimido[5,4‐b]thiophene‐2(3H)‐one derivatives 6a‐c and 7‐substituted‐8‐amino‐5‐(methylthio)imidazo[1,2:1′,6′]pyrimido[5,4‐b]thiophene‐2(3H)‐one 7a‐c , respectively. Also, the synthetic potential of the β‐enaminonitrile moiety in 3a‐c has been explored; it proved to be a promising candiate for the synthesis of 1,6‐disubstituted‐2,4‐diamino‐7,8‐dihydro‐8‐oxopyrrolo[1,2‐a]thieno[2,3‐e]pyrimidine derivatives 10a‐f and pyrido[2′,3′:6,5]pyrimido[3,4‐a]benzimidazole derivatives 12a,b .

By heating 2‐chloromethyl‐3,‐5‐dimethyl‐4‐methoxypyridine (1) either neat or in solution methoxy group cleavage was achieved, followed by dimerisation to poorly soluble 6,12‐dihydro‐1,3,7,9‐tetramethyl‐5H,11H‐dipyrido[1,2‐a:1′,2′‐d]pyrazine‐2,8‐dione (3) in almost quantitative yield with methyl chloride evolution. To our knowledge this is the first example of such Hilbert‐Johnson preparation of dipyridopyrazine‐diones. Recrystallization of 3 from the hydrochloric acid yielded 6,12‐dihydro‐2,8‐dihydroxy‐1,3,7,9‐tetramethyl‐dipyrido[1,2‐a:1′,2′‐d]pyrazinediylium dichloride (4) , neutralization of which gave back the pyrazine‐2,8‐dione 3. The molecular structures of both compounds 3 and 4 have been unambiguously confirmed by single crystal X‐ray structure analysis.

Compounds (1) reacted with triethylorthoformate yielding 1‐[N‐(ethoxymethylene)amino]‐3‐arylpyrido[1,2‐a]benzimidazole‐2,4‐dicarbonitrile (3). 3‐Amino‐4‐imino‐5‐aryl‐6‐cyanopyrimido[5′,4′:5,6]pyrido[1,2‐α] benzimidazole (4) was synthesized via condensation of either (2) or (3) with hydrazine hydrate. Reactions of (4) with acetic anhydride, ethyl chloroformate or aryl isothiocyanate yielded the respective derivative of the new ring system namely 1,2,4‐triazolo[2″,3″:6′,1′]pyrimido[4′,5′:2,3]pyrido[1,2‐a]benzimidazole (5–7).     

Synthesis and reactions of 11H‐benzo[b]pyrano[3,2‐f]indolizines an pyrrolo[3,2,1‐ij]pyrano[3,2‐c]quinolines

2‐Methyl‐3H‐indoles 1 cyclize with two equivalents of ethyl malonate 2 to form 4‐hydroxy‐11H‐benzo[b]pyrano[3,2‐f]indolizin‐2,5‐diones 3, whereas 2‐mefhyl‐2,3‐dihydro‐1H‐indoles 9 give under similar conditions regioisomer 8‐hydroxy‐5‐methyl‐4,5‐dihydro‐pyrrolo[3,2,1‐ij]pyrano[3,2‐c]quinolin‐7,10‐diones 10 .

Chlorination of 3 and 9 with sulfurylchloride gives under subsequent ring opening 7‐dichloroacetyl‐8‐hydroxy‐10H‐pyrido[1,2‐a]indol‐6‐ones 5 or 5‐dichloracetyl‐6‐hydroxy‐2‐methyl‐1,2‐dihydro‐4H‐pyrrolo[3,2,1‐ij]quinolin‐4‐ones 12 . The dichloroacetyl group of 5 can be reduced with zinc to 7‐acetyl‐8‐hydroxy‐10H‐pyrido[1,2‐a]indol‐6‐ones 7.

Reaction of 2 with phenyl isothiocyanate in refluxing ethanol yielded thiourea derivative 7. Ring closure of 7 subsequently cyclized on refluxing with phencyl bromide, oxalyl dichloride and chloroacetic acid afforded the corresponding thiazolidine derivatives 8, 9 and 10 , respectively. Reaction of 2‐mercapto‐3‐phenylamino‐3H‐quinazolin‐4‐one ( 11 ) with hydrazine hydrate afforded 2‐hydrazino‐3‐phenylamino‐3H‐quinazolin‐4‐one ( 12 ).
