1,6-Remote stereocontrol using allylgermanes

Transmetallation of 5-hydroxy- and 5-methoxyhex-2-enyl(triethyl)germanes 8 and 9 with tin(IV) bromide is stereoselective and generates allyltin tribromides, which react with aldehydes to give (3Z)-homoallylic alcohols 3 with useful levels of 1,6-syn-stereocontrol.     

Reactions of Acylpyruvic Acids and 2,3-Dihydrofuran-2,3-diones with 2,3-Diaminopyridine

Acylpyruvic acids readily react with 2,3-diaminopyridine to form (Z)-3-acylmethylene-1H-3,4-di- hydropyrido[2,3-b]pyrazin-2-ones. 5-Aryl-2,3-dihydrofuran-2,3-diones which can be regarded as lactones derived from -enolized aroylpyruvic acids react with 2,3-diaminopyridine under mild conditions, yielding regioisomeric (Z)-2-aroylmethylene-4H-1,2-dihydropyrido[2,3-b]pyrazin-3-ones. The structure of the products and reaction chemoselectivity are discussed.     

Study of the reactions of 3-chloro-4-cyanobenzo[b][1,6]naphthyridine with nucleophilic reagents

The reactions of 3-chloro-4-cyanobenzo[b][1,6]naphthyridine (4) with S-, C-, and N-nucleophiles afford stable s-adducts at position 10. In the base-catalyzed reactions of compound 4 with thiols, the resulting -complexes are rearranged into sulfides 14a—c. Sulfides 14b,c undergo the Thorpe—Ziegler cyclization to give 1-aminobenzo[b]thieno[2,3-h][1,6]naphthyridine derivatives 15a,b. The reaction of naphthyridine 4 with aniline affords a mixture of -adducts of the C—N and C—C types, while those with aliphatic amines yield 3-amino derivatives 17a—c. In the presence of H₂O₂, benzonaphthyridine 4 adds peroxycarboxylic acids to give compounds 8a,b. In alkaline medium, adduct 8a is rearranged into 4-aminopyridine-3-carbaldehyde derivative 10.     

Functionalization of benzo[b][1,6]naphthyridine derivatives

Two routes to consecutive functionalization of 3-chloro-4-cyanobenzo[b][1,6]naphthyridine (1a) at positions 3 and 10 were developed. Oxidation of compound 1a with m-chloroperbenzoic acid in acetone leads to 3-chloro-4-cyano-10-oxobenzo[b][1,6]naphthyridine, while in acetic acid, the reaction gives 3-chloro-4-cyano-10-(3-chlorobenzoyloxy)-5-hydroxy-5,10-dihydrobenzo[b][1,6]naphthyridine. The reactions of 1a with some C-nucleophiles give -adducts at position 10. The reactions of N,N-dimethylamide acetals with chloride 1a leads to 4-cyano-3-dimethylaminobenzo[b][1,6]naphthyridine.     

Azines and azoles: CXXVI. First example of a novel heterocyclic system: Pyrimido[1,6-<Emphasis Type="Italic">a</Emphasis>][1,5]benzodiazepines

4-Hydroxy-5-(2-R-2,3-dihydro-1H-1,5-benzodiazepin-4-yl)-2H-1,3-thiazine-2,6-diones readily undergo acylation at the N¹ atom of the benzodiazepine system by the action of acetic anhydride. Heating of the acetylated products in boiling dimethylformamide leads to the formation of 75–93% of the corresponding 7-acetyl-6-R-6,7-dihydropyrimido[1,6-a][1,5]benzodiazepine-1,3-diones that are derivatives of hitherto unknown fused heterocyclic system, pyrimido[1,6-a][1,5]benzodiazepine. 4-Hydroxy-5-(2-R-2,3-dihydro-1H-1,5-benzodiazepin-4-yl)-2H-1,3-thiazine-2,6-diones are converted into 1-(2-aminophenyl)-6-(2-R-vinyl)uracils on heating in boiling DMF.     

Prostanoids: LXXXV. Synthesis 9-Oxo Derivatives of 9-LO Thromboxans

Starting from levoglucosan, 1,6-anhydro-2,4-dideoxy-4-C-(2Z-octenyl)--D-arabino-hexopyranose was synthesized and converted into 9-oxo-9-LO thromboxan -lactone.     

A new route to pyrimido[1,6‐a]benzimidazole derivatives

Cyclocondensation of orthophenylendiamines with 3‐bromopropionic acid in PPA afforded 2‐vinylbenzimidazoles which were subsequently converted to their corresponding 2‐(1,2‐dibromoethyl)‐1H‐benzimidazoles on treatment with bromine. Reaction of these compounds with aryl nitriles or aryl isocyanates in basic chloroform yielded 1‐arylpyrimido[1,6‐a]benzimidazoles and 2‐arylpyrimido[1,6‐a]‐benzimidazol‐3‐ones respectively.     

Synthesis,Structure, and Biological Activity of Products of Reactions of 3,4-Dioxohexane-1,6-dioic Acid Esters with 2-Aminophenol

Bioactive derivatives of 1,4-benzoxazine have been prepared via reactions of 3,4-dioxohexane-1,6- dioic (ketipic) acid esters with 2-aminophenol. (2'Z)-2,2'-(2-Hydroxy-2H-1,4-benzoxazin-2-yl-3-ilidene)diacetic acid esters or (2Z)-[2-oxo-2H-1,4-benzoxazin-3(4H)-ylidene]acetic acid esters can be formed depending on the conditions. The structures of the products of dialkyl ketipate esters reactions with 2-aminophenol were determined by means of X-ray diffraction. It has been demonstrated that the prepared compounds exhibit antimycotic activity against test cultures of plant pathogenic fungi (Fusauium sp., Alternarium sp., and Bipolaris soraciniana).     

Copolymerization of 1,6-anhydroglucose and 1,6-anhydromaltose derivatives

The copolymerization of 1,6-anhydro-2,3,4-tri-O-(p-methyl-benzyl)-β-D -glucopyrnose [TXGL, M₁] with 1,6-anhydro-2,3-di-O-benzyl-4-O-(2,3,4,6-tetra-O-benzyl-α-D -glucopyranosyl)-β-D -glucopyranose [HBMA, M₂] has been studied as a method of producing dextrans of controlled composition with a linear backbone and randomly distributed single glucose units as side chains. Copolymers of intrinsic viscosities ranging from 0.51 to 0.05 dl/g are produced. The copolymerization appears to follow classical copolymerization theory but is affected adversely by the low reactivity of the maltose derivative. Reactivity ratios have been calculated for runs catalyzed by 10 mole-% and 20 mole-% phosphorus pentafluoride (PF₅): r₁ = 1.91 ± 0.35, r₂ = 0.28 ± 0.25 and r₁ = 2.21 ± 0.15, r₂ = 0.21 ± 0.10, respectively.

The structural features of the synthesized compounds were discussed on the basis of IR, ¹H NMR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry and X-ray diffraction analysis data.     

Beiträge zur Chemie der Pyrrolpigmente, 75. Mitt. Phytochrom-Modell-Studien: Stereochemische Untersuchungen an einem zwischen den pyrrolischen Ringen A und C peptidartig überbrückten 2,3-Dihydrobilatrien-abc

The sterochemistry of a 2,3-dihydrobilatriene-abc bridged between the pyrrolic rings A and C by means of a (S)-lysine fragment was investigated in two solvent systems using 2D-¹H-NMR and absorption spectroscopic techniques. The molecule adopts a circular helical geometry designated as (3S,4Z,9Z,15Z,5sp,10sp,14sp) in chloroform solutions. ForHMPT solutions however, an extended geometry characterized by (3S,4E,9E,15Z,5sp,10ap,14sp) was observed. The chiroptical properties of these two systems which are stabilized by the bridging moiety are discussed.     

1,3,4,6-tetracarbonyl compounds. 3. synthesis, structural features, and antimicrobial activity of 1,6-diaryl-3,4-dihydroxy-2,4-hexadiene-1,6-diones

The Wittig reaction of 5-aryl-2,3-dihydro-2,3-furandiones with aroylmethylenetriphenylphosphoranes is regioselective and leads to the formation of 5-aryl-2-aroylmethylene-2,3-dihydro-3-furanones. In the presence of acid the products react with water, giving satisfactory yeilds of 1,6-diaryl-3,4-dihydroxy-2,4-hexadiene-1,6-diones. The latter were also obtained by the reaction of 2,3-furandiones with alkylnitroamines. The base-catalyzed condensation of 2,3-furandiones with acetophenones led to 1,6-diaryl-3,4-dihydroxy-2,4-hexadiene-1,6-diones, which exist in DMSO solution in equilibrium with the cyclic oxo tautomers —substituted 2-hydroxy-2,3-dihydro-3-furanones. Some of the synthesized compounds exhibit antimicrobial activity toward standard strains ofStaphylococcus aureus andEscherichia coli.For Communication 2, see [1].Perm Pharmaceutical Academy, Perm, Russia; e-mail: kvo@pi.ccl.ru.

The synthesis of novel polycyclic heterocyclic ring systems via photocyclization. 3 . 12-Methylbenzo[h][1]benzothieno[2,3-c][1,6]naphthyridine

The synthesis of the 12-methyl derivative of a novel heterocyclic ring system, namely benzo[h][1]benzothieno[2,3-c][1,6]naphthyridine ( 8 ) was prepared by photocyclization of 3-chloro-N-(2′-methyl-4′-quinolyl)benzo-[6]thiophene-2-carboxamide ( 5 ) to 12-methylbenzo[h][1]benzothieno[2,3-c][1,6]naphthyridin-6(5H)-one ( 6 ).

Reaction of 1,6‐Dioxo‐2,4‐Diene with Aziridine and Secondary Amine

The (2E,4E)‐ and (2E,4Z)‐1‐phenyl‐1,6‐dioxo‐hepta‐2,4‐diene reacts with aziridine to give aziridinecyclopentenol 3. This product arises from an intermolecular Michael addition of a nitrogen lone pair to the less reactive enone, followed by an intramolecular aldol reaction of the enol with ketone. Furthermore, the initially formed enol did not undergo nucleophilic attack onto the aziridine ring to form heterocycles. Interestingly, the reaction with secondary amine did not give the cyclopentenol adduct, and this only leads to the isomerization of (2E,4Z)‐1‐phenyl‐1,6‐dioxo‐hepta‐2,4‐diene to the more stable (2E,4E)‐1‐phenyl‐1,6‐dioxo‐hepta‐2,4‐diene by addition to the more reactive enone.
