Conventional and Microwave‐Assisted Synthesis and Biological Activity Study of Novel Heterocycles Containing Pyran Moiety

Under both conventional and microwave methods, 2‐amino‐4H‐pyran‐3‐carbonitrile derivative 1 was synthesized and reacted with different reagents. Thus, 2‐amino‐4H‐pyran‐3‐carbonitrile derivative was treated with chloroacetyl chloride, phenyl isocyanate, cyanoacetic acid, benzoyl chloride, triethyl orthoformate, acetic anhydride/H₂SO₄, arylidene malononitrile, urea, and/or p‐aminosulphaguanidine producing chloroacetamide, 3‐phenylurea, cyanoacetamide, N‐benzoylpyran, ethylformimidate, pyranopyrimidin‐4‐one, pyranopyridine, pyranopyrimidin‐2‐one, and pyranopyrimidin‐2‐imine derivatives, respectively. Meanwhile, compound 1 was reacted with ethyl bromoacetate, phenacyl bromide, phthalic anhydride, different aromatic amines, and/or acetic acid/H₂SO₄ to produce 5‐aminopyrano[2,3‐b]pyrrole‐6‐carboxylate, dihydropyrano[2,3‐b]pyrrole‐6‐yl‐(phenyl)methanone, 1,3‐dioxoisoindolinyl pyran, 1,4‐dihydropyridine, and 2‐hydroxy‐1,4‐dihydropyridine derivatives, respectively. On the other hand, when compound 1 was allowed to react with maleic anhydride and/or hydrazine hydrate, pyran‐4‐oxobut‐2‐enoic acid and 3‐aminopyranopyrazole derivatives were obtained, respectively. Reaction of pyran‐4‐oxobut‐2‐enoic acid with malononitrile under different conditions gave 2‐(furan‐2‐yl)‐4H‐pyran and 2‐(4H‐pyran‐2‐yl)‐1H‐pyrrole derivatives, while condensation of 3‐aminopyranopyrazole with benzaldehyde gave 1,4‐dihydropyrano[2,3‐c]pyrazol‐3‐yl‐1‐phenylmethanimine derivative. The newly synthesized compounds were characterized by the spectroscopic tools IR, ¹H‐NMR, ¹³C‐NMR, MS, and elemental analysis. Some of these compounds have been screened in vitro for antimicrobial activity against different strains of bacteria and fungi and also were tested against two cancer cell lines: mammary gland breast cancer (MCF‐7) and colon cancer (HCT‐118).

Alkylation of 1 with benzoylchloride and 4‐chlorobenzyl chloride afforded thiazolo[4,3‐b][1,3,4]thiadiazole derivatives 5 and 6 , respectively. Similarly, transformation of 1 with chloroacetyl chloride yielded chloroacetamide derivative 7 . The later compound was subjected to react with potassium thiocyanate or piperazine whereby, the binary thiazolidinone derivative 8 and N ¹ ,N⁴‐disubstituted piperazine 9 were produced, respectively. Also, the reactivity of 1 toward various active methylene reagents was investigated.

In this paper the reaction of 2‐(2′‐thienylmethylene)‐3,4‐dihydronaphthalen‐2(1H)‐one ( 1 ) with cyanothioacetamide gave a mixture of 3‐cyano‐5,6‐dihydro‐4‐(2′‐thienyl)‐benzo[h]quinolin‐2(1H)‐thione ( 2 ) and the related disulfide 3 . Compound 2 was reacted with some halo compounds namely; ethyl chloroacetate, chloroacetamide, chloro(N‐(p‐chlorophenyl))acetamide, N¹‐chloroacetylsulfanilamide, and 2‐chloromethyl‐1H‐benzimidazole to produce a series of 2‐(substituted)methylthio‐3‐cyano‐5,6‐dihydro‐4‐(2′‐thienyl)benzo[h]quinolines 4a , 4b , 4c , 4d , 4e and 11 .

Synthesis and Anticancer Activity Study of Some Novel Substituted and Fused Pyridotriazepine Derivatives

Various new substituted and fused pyridotriazepine analogues have been synthesized via different synthetic pathways. Among which are different heterocyclic compounds consisting of the pyridotriazepine backbone fused to different heterocyclic systems comprising either substituted pyrimidine nucleus such as compounds 3 – 9 or substituted 4‐aminopyridine nucleus such as compounds 10 – 16 .

Synthesis,crystal structure and activity evaluation of novel 3,4‐dihydro‐1‐benzoxepin‐5(2H)‐one derivatives as protein–tyrosine kinase (PTK) inhibitors

Four new 3,4‐dihydro‐1‐benzoxepin‐5(2H )‐one derivatives, namely (E )‐4‐(5‐bromo‐2‐hydroxybenzylidene)‐6,8‐dimethoxy‐3,4‐dihydrobenzo[b ]oxepin‐5(2H )‐one, ( 7 ), (E )‐4‐[(E )‐3‐(5‐bromo‐2‐hydroxyphenyl)allylidene]‐6,8‐dimethoxy‐3,4‐dihydrobenzo[b ]oxepin‐5(2H )‐one, ( 8 ), (E )‐4‐(5‐bromo‐2‐hydroxybenzylidene)‐6‐hydroxy‐8‐methoxy‐3,4‐dihydrobenzo[b ]oxepin‐5(2H )‐one, C₁₈H₁₅BrO₅, ( 9 ), and (E )‐4‐[(E )‐3‐(5‐bromo‐2‐hydroxyphenyl)allylidene]‐6‐hydroxy‐8‐methoxy‐3,4‐dihydrobenzo[b ]oxepin‐5(2H )‐one, ( 10 ), have been synthesized and characterized by FT–IR, NMR and MS. The structure of ( 9 ) was confirmed by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction. Crystal structure analysis shows that molecules of ( 9 ) are connected into a one‐dimensional chain in the [010] direction through classical hydrogen bonds and these chains are further extended into a three‐dimensional network via C—H…O interactions. The inhibitory activities of these compounds against protein–tyrosine kinases (PTKs) show that 6‐hydroxy‐substituted compounds ( 9 ) and ( 10 ) are more effective for inhibiting ErbB1 and ErbB2 than are 6‐methoxy‐substituted compounds ( 7 ) and ( 8 ). This may be because ( 9 ) and ( 10 ) could effectively bind to the active pockets of the protein through intermolecular interactions.     

Structural,spectroscopic and first‐principles studies of new aminocoumarin derivatives

The new aminocoumarin derivatives 3‐[1‐(3‐hydroxyanilino)ethylidene]‐3H‐chromene‐2,4‐dione, ( 1 ), 3‐[1‐(4‐hydroxyanilino)ethylidene]‐3H‐chromene‐2,4‐dione, ( 2 ), and 3‐[1‐(2‐hydroxyanilino)ethylidene]‐3H‐chromene‐2,4‐dione, ( 3 ), all C₁₇H₁₃NO₄, were synthesized by reacting an equimolar amount of 3‐acetyl‐4‐hydroxycoumarin and the corresponding aminophenol in absolute ethanol. Structural and spectroscopic analysis of these phases revealed that derivatives ( 1 ) and ( 2 ) are isomers of previously reported ( 3 ) [Brahmia et al. (2013). Acta Cryst. E 69 , o1296]. The crystal structures of meta derivative ( 1 ) and para derivative ( 2 ) were ab initio determined from powder X‐ray diffraction data using the direct‐space approach. Both ( 1 ) and ( 2 ) adopt the orthorhombic space group P2₁2₁2₁. These isomers show hydrogen bonds and rich π–π stacking, together with π…H interactions, which are built by conjugated systems of coumarin and phenol rings. In the crystalline lattice, the packing of ( 1 ) and ( 3 ) are mainly stabilized through O—H…O hydrogen bonding between neighbouring coumarin molecules, while hydrogen bonds between coumarin and water molecules build the stable crystal structure of derivative ( 2 ). A big similarity in the skeletons of the IR spectra of these isomers was noticed. Derivative ( 2 ) exhibits two weak bands which were not present in the spectra of the other two derivatives, at 2370 and 2948 cm^?1, which can be assigned to the O—H vibrations of the solvent (H₂O) trapped in the structure of ( 2 ). These aminocoumarin derivatives display absorption maxima in the visible region, attributed to π–π delocalization involving the whole electronic system of the compounds with a considerable charge‐transfer character originating from the aminophenyl ring and pointing towards the coumarin system which is characterized by a high electron‐accepting character. Additionally, the isolated molecular ground‐state geometries were optimized at the PBE0/TZP level and the electronic properties, molecular electrostatic potential and Hirshfeld charges were determined.     

A Facile Synthesis of Aryl‐Substituted Hydrazono‐Pyrazolyl[1,2,4]triazolo[3,4‐b][1,3,4][thiadiazol]‐coumarin Derivatives

Some inimitable and therapeutic coumarin‐substituted fused[1,2,4]triazolo‐[3,4‐b][1,3,4]thiadizole derivatives were synthesized by the cyclocondensation reaction of 2‐oxo‐2H‐chromene‐3‐carboxylic acid ( 1 ) and 4‐amino‐5‐hydrazinyl‐4H‐[1,2,4]‐triazole‐3‐thiol ( 2 ) by using phosphorous oxychloride as a cyclizing agent. This cyclized intermediate 3‐(3‐hydrazino‐[1,2,4]triazolo[3,4‐b][1,3,4]thiadiazol‐6‐yl)‐chromen‐2‐one ( 3 ) later condensation with various ethyl 2‐(2‐arylhydrazono)‐3‐oxobutanoates ( 4 ) in NaOAc/MeOH under reflux conditions afforded the corresponding new series of aryl‐substituted hydrazono‐pyrazolyl‐[1,2,4]triazolo[3,4‐b][1,3,4][thiadiazol]‐coumarin derivatives ( 5 ) in good to excellent yields. The structures of newly synthesized compounds were established on the basis of elemental analysis, IR, ¹H NMR and mass spectroscopic studies.     

Synthesis of Some New Fused and Binary 1,3,4‐Thiadiazoles as Potential Antitumor and Antioxidant Agents

Annulations of 2‐amino‐1,3,4‐thiadiazole ( 1 ) with α,β‐unsaturated carbonyl compounds 2 , 5 , and 9 afforded thiadiazolo[3,2‐a]pyrimidin 3 , benzamide 7 , and bis‐pyrazole derivative 11 . Cyclization of benzamide 7 with POCl₃ gave binary imidazole derivative 8 . Moreover, alkylation of 1 with 2‐bromo‐1‐(2H‐chromen‐3‐yl) ethanone ( 9 ) followed by cyclization gave imidazo[2,1‐b]‐1,3,4‐thiadiazole derivative 15 . Multicomponent reaction of 1 with heterocyclic and/or aromatic aldehyde and thioglycolic acid afforded the corresponding thiazolidinones 17 and 19 . Finally, a one‐pot synthesis of 1 with isatin and thiosemicarbazide furnished the spirotriazole 20 . The newly synthesized compounds were evaluated as antitumor agents.     

Novel glycosylated carboranylquinazolines for boron neutron capture therapy of tumors: synthesis,characterization, and in vitro toxicity studies

The synthesis of a series of N‐glycosyl caboranylquinazolines is described. The condensation reaction of nitro‐acetylanthranilic acid with aminophenylcarborane gave 3‐[(o‐carboran‐1‐yl)phenyl]‐2‐methyl‐6‐nitroquinazolin‐4(3H)‐one 1 followed by reduction with Na₂S to the corresponding 6‐amino‐3‐[(o‐carboran‐1‐yl)phenyl]‐2‐methylquinazolin‐4(3H)‐one 2 . Reaction of compound 2 with D‐glucose or D‐ribose in methanol in the presence of a catalytic amount of acetic acid affords boronated N‐glycosylaminoquinazolines namely: 2‐methyl‐3‐[4‐(o‐carboran‐1‐yl)phenyl]‐6‐[N‐β‐D‐glucopyranosyl)]aminoquinazolin‐4(3H)‐one 3 or 2‐methyl‐3‐[4‐(o‐carboran‐1‐yl)phenyl]‐6‐[N‐β‐D‐ribofuranosyl)]aminoquinazolin‐4(3H)‐one 4 , respectively. Degradation of the o‐caborane cage of compounds 3 and 4 yielded highly water‐soluble compounds of sodium 2‐methyl‐3‐[4‐( nido ‐undecarborate‐1‐yl)phenyl]‐6‐[N‐β‐D‐glucopyranosyl]aminoquinazolin‐4(3H)‐one 5 and sodium 2‐methyl‐3‐[4‐( nido ‐undecarborate‐1‐yl)phenyl]‐6‐[N‐β‐D‐ribofuranosyl)]aminoquinazolin‐4(3H)‐one 6 , respectively. The structures were established on the basis of elemental analysis, NMR, IR and mass spectrometry. The in vitro toxicity test using B16 melanoma cells showed that N‐glycosyl of nido ‐undecaboranylquinazolines ( 5 and 6 ), with higher water solubility, is not toxic at boron concentration of 3000 µg boron ml⁻¹, whereas, N‐glycosyl of closo ‐carboranylquinazolines ( 3 and 4 ) has LD₅₀ > 200 µg boron ml⁻¹.

The compounds 6 and 7 were treated with trichlorosilane (SiCl₃H) in dry tetrahydrofuran (THF) to form the trivalent P(III) intermediates 8 and 9 , which were further treated with various alkyl azides in dry THF in 55–60°C to afford the title compounds 8a – 8e and 9a – 9e .

Organotin(IV) complexes derived from proteinogenic amino acid: synthesis,structure and evaluation of larvicidal efficacy on Anopheles stephensi mosquito larvae

Five new organotin(IV) complexes of composition [Bz₂SnL¹]_n ( 1 ), [Bz₃SnL¹H⋅H₂O] ( 2 ), [Me₂SnL²⋅H₂O] ( 3 ), [Me₂SnL³] ( 4 ) and [Bz₃SnL³H]_n ( 5 ) (where L¹ = (2S )‐2‐{[(E )‐(4‐hydroxypentan‐2‐ylidene)]amino}‐4‐methylpentanoate, L² = (rac )‐2‐{[(E )‐1‐(2‐hydroxyphenyl)methylidene]amino}‐4‐methylpentanoate and L³ = (2S )‐ or (rac )‐2‐{[(E )‐1‐(2‐hydroxyphenyl)ethylidene]amino}‐4‐methylpentanoate) were synthesized and characterized using ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, ¹¹⁹Sn NMR and infrared spectroscopic techniques. The crystal structure of 2 reveals a distorted trigonal‐bipyramidal geometry around the tin atom where the oxygen atoms of the carboxylate ligand and a water ligand occupy the axial positions, while the three benzyl ligands are located at the equatorial positions. On the other hand, the analogous derivative of enantiopure L³H ( 5 ) consists of polymeric chains, in which the ligand‐bridged tin atoms adopt the same trans ‐Bz₃SnO₂ trigonal‐bipyramidal configuration and are now coordinated to a phenolic oxygen atom instead of H₂O. In 2 , the OH hydrogen of the ketoimine substituent has moved to the nearby nitrogen atom while in the salicylidene derivative 5 , the OH is located almost midway between the phenolic oxygen atom and the nitrogen atom of the CN group. For the dibenzyltin derivative 1 , a polymeric chain structure is observed as a result of a long intermolecular Sn⋅⋅⋅O bond involving the exocyclic carbonyl oxygen atom from the tridentate ligand of a neighbouring tin‐complex unit. The tin atom in this complex has distorted octahedral coordination geometry. In contrast, the racemic dimethyltin(IV) complexes 3 and 4 display discrete monomeric structures with a distorted octahedral‐ and trigonal‐bipyramidal geometry, respectively. The structures show that the coordination mode of the Schiff base ligand depends primarily on the number of bulky benzyl ligands (R) at the tin atom, as indeed found in the structures of related complexes where R = phenyl. With three bulky R groups, the tridentate chelating O,N,O coordination mode is preferred, whereas with fewer or less bulky R ligands, only the carboxylate and hydroxy groups are involved, which leads to polymers. Larvicidal efficacies of two of the new tribenzyltin(IV) complexes ( 2 and 5 ) were assessed on the second larval instar of Anopheles stephensi mosquito larvae and compared with two triphenyltin(IV) analogues, [Ph₃SnL¹H]_n and [Ph₃SnL³H]_n . The results demonstrate that the compounds containing Sn–Ph ligands are more effective than those with Sn–Bz ligands. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

The cyano acrylamide derivative 4 was hydrazinolysis to furnish 5‐aminopyrazole 5 ; many pyrazolo[1,5‐a ]pyrimidines 10a,b, 14, 15, 16, 18, and 20 have been synthesized via treatment of 5 with some electrophilic reagents. Also, ternary condensation of cyanoacetamide derivative 2 , terephthalaldehyde, and active methylene derivatives afforded bispyridone derivatives 21a,b . The structures of the new compounds were confirmed on the basis of elemental analysis and spectral data. Representative compounds of the synthesized products were tested and evaluated as antimicrobial. In general, the novel‐synthesized compounds showed a good antimicrobial activity against Gram‐positive bacteria, Gram‐negative bacteria, and antifungal activity against Azithromycin and Ketoconazole . The molecular modeling of the 21a and 21b as representative examples of the synthesized compounds has been drawn, and their molecular parameters were calculated.     

Polycyclic N‐Heterocyclic Compounds. Part 81: Synthesis and Evaluation of Pentacyclic 1,2,4,5‐Tetrahydro[1]benzothieno[2′,3′:6,7]thiepino[4,5‐e]imidazo[1,2‐c]pyrimidine and Related Compounds as Potential Antiplatelet Aggregators

Dehydrative ring closure reactions were carried out on fused 4‐(2‐hydroxyethylamino) (or 2‐hydroxyethoxy or 2‐hydroxyethylthio)pyrimidines ( 2a , 2b , 2c ) to give fused 2,3‐dihydroimidazo[1,2‐c] (or 2,3‐dihydrooxazolo[3,2‐c] or 2,3‐dihydrothiazolo[3,2‐c])pyrimidines. This reaction produced the pentacyclic 1,2,4,5‐tetrahydro[1]benzothieno[2′,3′:6,7]thiepino[4,5‐e]imidazo[1,2‐c]pyrimidine ( 3a ) and 1,2,4,5‐tetrahydro[1]benzothieno[2′,3′:6,7]thiepino[4,5‐e]thiazolo[3,2‐c]pyrimidinium chloride ( 3c ) from the 2‐hydroxyethylamino‐derivative and 2‐hydroxyethylthio‐derivative, respectively. In contrast, 2‐hydroxyethoxy‐derivative ( 2b ) gave the rearrangement product, 3‐(2‐chloroethyl)‐5,6‐dihydro[1]benzothieno[3′,2′:2,3]thiepino[4,5‐d]pyrimidin‐4(3H)‐one ( 4 ). Effects of the synthesized compounds on collagen‐induced platelet aggregation were also evaluated.
