Synthesis of oxazirino[2,3‐a][1,5]benzodiazepines by oxidation of 1H‐1,5‐benzodiazepines with m‐chloroperbenzoic acid (MCPBA)

2,4‐Disubstituted 1‐benzoyl‐2,3‐dihydro‐1H‐1,5‐benzodiazepines were oxidized by m‐chloroperbenzoic acid (MCPBA) to produce 1a,3‐disubstituted 4‐benzoyl‐1a,2,3,4‐tetrahydro‐oxazirino[2,3‐a][1,5]benzodiazepines, a novel tricyclic heterocyclic system. However, 2,4‐disubstituted 2,3‐dihydro‐1H‐1,5‐benzodiazepines were oxidized by MCPBA under the same conditions to give a 2,4‐disubstituted 2,3‐dihydro‐2‐hydroxy‐1H‐1,5‐benzodiazepine or a 2,4‐disubstituted 3H‐1,5‐benzodiazepine, respectively. We propose a hydroxylation mechanism of peracid oxidation. © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Heteroatom Chem 11:158–162, 2000

The 2,3‐dihydro‐7‐methyl‐1H,5H‐pyrido[3,2,1‐ij]quinoline‐1,5‐dione derivatives 9 and 10 were prepared from 3‐(5,7‐dimethoxy‐4‐methyl‐2‐oxo‐2H‐quinolin‐1‐yl)propionitrile ( 6 ). Cyclodehydration of the amide 8 gave 1,2‐dihydro‐7,9‐dimethoxy‐6‐methylpyimido[1,2‐a]quinolin‐3‐one ( 11 ).     

Synthesis of 1‐H‐1,5‐benzodiazepines derivatives using SiO2/ZnCl2

A general and easy method for the synthesis of several 1‐H‐1,5‐benzodiazepines using SiO₂/ZnCl₂ under solvent‐free conditions is described. This efficient and improved method furnishes selectively and in good yields the corresponding 1‐H‐1,5‐benzodiazepines derivatives starting from o‐phenylenediamine and cyclic or acyclic ketones. The catalytic system was reused up four times, and the use of focused microwaves accelerates the reaction. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Synthesis of Indane‐Based 1,5‐Benzothiazepines Derived from 3‐Phenyl‐2,3‐dihydro‐1H‐inden‐1‐one and Antimicrobial Studies Thereof

In the present study, a series of 20 indane‐based 1,5‐benzothiazepines ( 5a – t ) has been prepared derived from 3‐phenyl‐2,3‐dihydro‐1H ‐inden‐1‐one ( 1 ). All the synthesized 1,5‐benzothiazepines ( 5a – t ) were screened for their in vitro antimicrobial activities against four bacteria [Bacillus subtilis (MTCC 441), Staphylococcus epidermidis (MTCC 6880), Escherichia coli (MTCC 1652), and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (MTCC 424)] and two fungi [Candida albicans (MTCC 227) and Aspergillus niger (MTCC 8189)]. Among all the tested derivatives, 5n and 5o against E. coli displayed more inhibitory activity than that of the reference drug, ciprofloxacin, while the derivatives 5c , 5m – o , 5s , and 5t against C. albicans , and 5d , 5e , 5n , 5o , 5s , and 5t against A. niger were found to be more potent than the standard drug, that is, fluconazole.     

Tetrahydro‐1,5‐benzoxazepines and tetrahydro‐1H‐1,5‐benzodiazepines by a tandem reduction‐reductive amination reaction

A tandem reduction‐reductive amination reaction has been applied to the synthesis of (±)‐4‐alkyl‐2,3,4,5‐tetrahydro‐1,5‐benzoxazepines and (±)‐4‐alkyl‐1‐benzoyl‐2,3,4,5‐tetrahydro‐1H‐1,5‐benzodiazepines. The nitro aldehydes and ketones required for 1,5‐benzoxazepine ring closures were prepared by nucleophilic aromatic substitution of the alkoxides from several 3‐buten‐1‐ol derivatives with 2‐fluoro‐1‐nitrobenzene followed by ozonolysis. Precursors for the 1,5‐benzodiazepines were prepared by similar addition of N‐(3‐butenyl)benzamide anions to 2‐fluoro‐1‐nitrobenzene followed by ozonolysis. Catalytic hydrogenation of the nitro carbonyl compounds using 5% palladium‐on‐carbon in methanol then gave the target heterocycles by a tandem reduction‐reductive amination sequence. The 1,5‐benzoxazepines were isolated in high yield following chromatographic purification; the 1,5‐benzodiazepines were isolated as solids directly from the hydrogenation mixture and possessed differentiated functionality on the two nitrogen atoms.     

A Novel Conversion of 2, 4‐Diaryl‐2, 3‐dihydro‐1 H‐1, 5‐benzodiazepines into 2, 4‐Diaryl‐3 H‐1, 5‐benzodiazepines

A novel conversion of 2, 4‐diaryl‐2, 3‐dihydro‐1 H‐1, 5‐benzodiazepins into 2, 4‐diaryl‐3 H‐1, 5‐benzodiazepines by the reaction with m‐chloroperbenzoic acid (MCPBA) was reported.     

Synthesis of 2,3‐dihydro‐1,3‐thiazin‐4(1H)‐ ones and their remarkably facile recyclization to 2,3‐dihydropyrimidin‐4(1H)‐ones

Functionalized 2,3‐dihydro‐1,3‐thiazin‐4(1H)‐one derivatives have been synthesized by cyclocondensation of 3‐alkyl(aryl)amino‐2‐cyano‐3‐mercaptoacrylamides with aldehydes and ketones under acidic catalysis. 6‐Alkyl(aryl)amino‐5‐cyano‐2,3‐dihy‐ dro‐1,3‐thiazin‐4(1H)‐ones, when treated with a dilute solution of potassium hydroxide, are converted into the potassium salts of isomeric compounds, 1‐alkyl‐ (aryl)‐5‐cyano‐6‐mercapto‐2,3‐dihydropyrimidin‐ 4(1H)‐ones. Alkylation of the latter with dimethyl sulfate in situ furnishes 1‐alkyl(aryl)‐6‐alkylthio‐5‐ cyano‐2,3‐dihydropyrimidin‐4(1H)‐ones, whereas boiling them in ethanol with an excess of hydrochloric acid leads to starting 2,3‐dihydro‐1,3‐thiazin‐4(1H)‐ones. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

由邻苯二胺合成苯并咪唑、喹喔啉以及1-H-2,3－二氢1,5-苯并氮杂卓

A series of benzo-fused heteroaromatic compounds with 5-, 6- and 7-membered tings, such as benzimidazole,quinoxaline and 1H-1,5-benzodiazepine derivatives, were synthesized through condensation reaction of o-pheny1-enediamine with ary1 aldehydes or ketones. The experimental conditions were carefully examined, and the products were characterized by ^1H NMR, ^13C NMR, MS, IR and elemental analyses. In addition, the structure of a benzodiazaepine derivative with 7-membered ring was confirmed by single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis.     

Sodium 2‐oxo‐3‐semicarbazono‐2,3‐dihydro‐1H‐indole‐5‐sulfonate dihydrate

The title compound, Na⁺·C₉H₇N₄O₅S⁻·2H₂O, presents a Z configuration around the imine C=N bond and an E configuration around the C(O)NH₂ group, stabilized by two intra­molecular hydrogen bonds. The packing is governed by ionic inter­actions between the Na⁺ cation and the surrounding O atoms. The ionic unit, Na⁺ and 2‐oxo‐3‐semicarbazono‐2,3‐dihydro‐1H‐indole‐5‐sulfonate, forms layers extending in the bc plane. The layers are connected by hydrogen bonds involving the water mol­ecules.     

A study of the planarity of the pyrrolone fragment in 2‐isopropyl‐2,3‐dihydro‐1H‐isoindol‐1‐one

Orthophthalaldehyde (o‐phthalaldehyde, OPA) is an aromatic dialdehyde bearing two electron‐withdrawing carbonyl groups. The reactions of OPA with primary amines are broadly applied for the synthesis of important heterocyclic compounds with biological relevance. A number of such reactions have been investigated recently and several structures of condensation products have been reported, however, the complex reaction mechanism is still not fully understood and comprises concurrent as well as consecutive reactions. The reaction products depend on the primary amine which reacts with OPA, the reaction environment (solvent) and the proportion of the reactants. The title molecule, C₁₁H₁₃NO, the product of the reaction of OPA with isopropylamine, contains a five‐membered pyrrole C₄N ring with a carbonyl substituent, which forms part of the isoindolinone unit. Though this pyrrole ring contains one C atom in the sp³‐hybridized state, it is fairly planar. The title molecule has been compared with similar structures retrieved from the Cambridge Structural Database in order to study this phenomenon. The planarity of this fragment has been explained by the presence of partially delocalized C—C, C—N and C—O bonds, and by an inner angle in the planar pentagonal ring (∼108°), which is close to the ideal tetrahedral value for the sp³‐hybridized state of the constituent C atom. Due to this propitious angle, this C atom can be present in states intermediate between sp³‐ and sp²‐hybridized in different structures, while still maintaining the planarity of the ring. There are only weak intermolecular C—H…O hydrogen bonds and C—H…π‐electron ring interactions in the structure. In particular, it is the pyrrole ring which is involved in these interactions.     

Synthesis and antimicrobialactivity of 2‐alkylcarbamato‐2,3‐dihydro‐5‐propylthio‐1H‐1,3,2‐benzodiazaphosphole 2‐oxides

Novel 2‐alkylcarbamato/thiocarbama‐to‐2,3‐dihydro‐5‐propylthio‐1H‐1,3,2‐benzodiazaphos‐phole 2‐oxides ( 4a–J ) were synthesized by cyclization of 4‐propylthio‐1,2‐phenylenediamine ( 3 ) with the corresponding dichlorophosphoryl carbamates/thiocarbamates ( 2a–J ) that were obtained by the addition of alcohols/thiols to isocyanatophosphoryl dichloride ( 1 ). The structures of the title compounds were confirmed by the ¹H, ¹³C, ³¹P NMR, and mass spectral studies. Some of these products were found to possess significant antimicrobial activity. © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Heteroatom Chem 11:336–340, 2000
