Alkylation of Imidazole-4(5)-carboxylic Acid Derivatives with Methyl Bromoacetate

The alkylation of imidazole-4(5)-carboxylic acid anilide and methyl ester with bromoacetic acid and its methyl ester in neutral and alkaline media yields, along with monoalkylation products, 1,3-bis(2-methoxycarbonylmethyl)-4-R-imidazolium bromide. The monoalkylation of methyl imidazole-4(5)-carboxylate yields a 1:1 mixture of the 1,4- and 1,5-isomers, and the monoalkylation of imidazole-4(5)-carboxylic anilide selectively provides the 1,4-isomer.     

Effect of Different Substituents on Amine-imine Tautomerism of 2-Amino-4-methylthiazole Derivatives

We have used ¹H NMR to study the amine-imine tautomerism of some esters and amides of 2-N-labeled 4-methylthiazole-5-carboxylic acids and 5-carbamic acids. We have shown that the nature of the substituents of the 2-NHR¹, 5-COR², or 5-NHCOR² groups affects that position of the tautomeric equilibrium. __________ Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 8, pp. 1240–1243, August, 2005.     

Synthesis and Antimicrobial Activity of Substituted 5-Cyano-6-oxo-2-styrylnicotinic Acids

Derivatives of the anilide or ethyl ester of 5-cyano-6-oxo-2-styrylnicotinic acid are formed in the reaction of the anilide or ethyl ester of 5-cyano-2-methyl-6-oxonicotinic acid with aromatic aldehydes. On interaction with hydrazine hydrate the products are converted into hydrazides of 5-cyano-6-oxo-2-styrylnicotinic acid derivatives.     

Synthesis of some bifunctional derivatives of 8-methylquinoline-5-carboxylic acid

Derivatives of 8-methylquinoline-5-carboxylic acid were synthesized. Alcoholysis of 8-methyl-5-cyanoquinoline gave methyl and ethyl 8-methylquinoline-5-carboxylates, which were converted to the corresponding 8-bromomethyl derivatives. The latter were used for the introduction of a methylamino group and the synthesis of N-acyl derivatives. The hydrazide, amide, and anilide of 8-methylquinoline-5-carboxylic acid were obtained as model compounds.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 6, pp. 785–788, June, 1982.     

Some Conversions of Thiazoline Carboxylic Acid Esters

We have carried out solvolysis of the previously described ethyl esters of 3-methyl(aryl)-4-methyl-2-thioxothiazoline-5-carboxylic acids, leading to the corresponding acids without breaking down the heterocycle. We synthesized a series of novel esters from the latter by treatment with dimethyl sulfate or reactive halides. Of these, only in the case of the ethyl ester of 3,4-dimethyl-2-thioxothiazoline-5-carboxylic acid did we obtain the hydrazinolysis product (the hydrazide), from which we synthesized novel hydrazones by treatment with aldehydes and ketones.     

1,6- and 1,7-naphthyridines. II. Synthesis from acyclic precursors

A number of 8-hydroxy-6-methyl-1,6-naphthyridin-5(6H)-one-7-carboxylic acid alkyl esters 3 and the isomeric 5-hydroxy-7-methyl-1,7-naphthyridin-8(7H)-one-6-carboxylic acid alkyl esters 4 were synthesized from acyclic precursors obtained starting from quinolinic anhydride 5. Thus, methanolysis of 5 afforded the hemiester 6 which treated with oxalyl chloride and sarcosine ethyl ester gave 3-(N-ethoxycarbonylmethyl-N-methylcarbamoyl)pyridine-2-carboxylic acid methyl ester 8. Compound 8 was cyclized to naphthyridines 3a-e with sodium alkoxides. The isomeric naphthyridines 4a-c were obtained by cyclization of the open intermediary 2-(N-ethoxycarbonylmethyl-N-methylcarbamoyl)pyridine-3-carboxylic acid methyl ester 9 obtained by a route that involves treatment of 5 with sarcosine ethyl ester and esterification with diazomethane. Spectroscopic properties (¹H nmr, uv, ir) of compounds 3 and 4 are discussed and confirmed the proposed structures.     

2-Azido-1,3,4-thiadiazoles, 2-Azido-1,3-thiazoles,and Aryl Azides in the Synthesis of 1,2,3-Triazole-4-carboxylic Acids and Their Derivatives

Diazotization of 2-amino-1,3,4-thiadiazoles gave 1,3,4-thiadiazole-2-diazonium sulfates which were converted to 2-azido-1,3,4-thiadiazoles. The latter reacted with ethyl acetoacetate in the presence of sodium methoxide in methanol to produce 1-(5-R¹-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-yl)-5-R²-1H-1,2,3-triazole-4-carboxylic acid derivatives. The reactions of 2-azido-5-methyl-1,3,4-thiadiazole and 2-azido-1,3-thiazole with ethyl 3-(1,3-benzodioxol-5-yl)-3-oxopropanoate led to the formation of 1,2,3-triazole ring under milder conditions (K₂CO₃, DMSO). Various 1,2,3-triazole-4-carboxylic acid derivatives were synthesized.     

Synthesis of azinylthioureas and their heterocyclization using α-chloroacetoacetic ester

Treatment of aminopyrimidines with a mixture of PhCOCl and NH₄SCN and subsequent debenzoylation of the N-benzoyl-N′-(4,6-substituted pyrimidin-2-yl)thioureas obtained gave pyrimidinyl-2-thioureas. The heterocyclization of the azinyl-2-thioureas with α-chloroacetoacetic ester gave ethyl 2-(4,6-substituted azin-2-yl)aminothiazole-5-carboxylates. __________ Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 3, pp. 437–440, March, 2006.     

Conversion of 3-Carbethoxy-4-methyl Coumarin Derivatives into Several New Annelated Coumarin Derivatives

The reaction of ethyl esters of 4-methyl-2-oxo-2H-l-benzo(naphtho) pyran.3-carboxylic acids (1) with aromatic aldehy-des in the presence of piperidine yielded 4-styryl-3-carboxami-dopiperidyl connmrin derivatives 4. The reaction of hydrazlne hydrate with 1 gave acetophenone hydrozone derivatives 5 and acetophenone azine derivatives 6. The reaction of 1 with prima-ry amines afforded compomlds 7—9. And the treatment of la with Grignard reagents afforded 3-aroyl-4-methyl coumarin derivatives 10.     

Facile Synthesis of Nicotinic Acid Derivatives with Unsymmetrical Substitution Patterns

Abstract

Two novel methods for synthesis of nicotinic acid derivatives with unsymmetrical substitution patterns were presented via ketene dithioacetals. The ketene N,S-acetals 2 reacted with β-ketoesters or β-cyanoesters to give 4-amino-5-cyano-2-alkyl-6-methylthio-nicotinic acid derivatives 3 or 2,4-diamino-5-cyano-6-methylthio-nicotinic acid ethyl ester 4. However, 6-amino-5-cyano-2-alkyl-4-methylthio-nicotinic acid esters 6 were obtained by the reaction of the ketene dithioacetals 1 and β-amino-crotonates.     

Design,Synthesis,and Biological Evaluation of 5H-Thiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidine-6-carboxylic Acid Ethyl Ester Derivatives as a Novel Series of Acetylcholinesterase Inhibitors

Acetylcholinesterase inhibitors are the most frequently prescribed anti-Alzheimer's drugs. A series of 5H-thiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidine-6-carboxylic acid ethyl ester derivatives as the novel acetylcholinesterase inhibitors was designed based on virtual screening methods.

Several new 3-arylsulfonylmethyl-1,2,4-oxadiazole-5-carboxylic acid derivatives have been synthesized. A typical example, 3-[(4-chlorophenylsulfonyl)methyl]-1,2,4-oxadiazole-5-carboxylic acid ethyl ester ( 2c ), was prepared from the reaction of 2-(4-chlorophenylsulfonyl)acetamide oxime ( 1c ) with ethyl oxalyl chloride. The hydrazide derivative ( 3f ) showed antihypertensive activity in rats. Various structural modifications to improve activity are discussed.     

Cyclocondensation of Thioamides and Haloacetic Acid Derivatives Provides Only 4-Thiazolidinones; Isomeric 5-Thiazolidinones Were Not observed

Cycloaddition of intermediates formed from the nucleophilic addition of aryl isothiocyanate to acidic cyanomethylenes and α-halocarbonyl compounds gave only 4-thiazolidinones. 5-Thiazolidinones were not observed. Cyano-(4-oxo-3-phenylthiazolidin-2-ylidene)-acetic acid ethyl ester (1) and cyano-[5-(4-methoxybenzylidene)-4-oxo-3-phenylthiazolidin-2-ylidene]-acetic acid ethyl ester (2a) also were shown to exhibit moderate antiviral activity.

Furopyridines. V. A simple synthesis of furo[2,3-c]pyridine and its 2-and 3-methyl derivatives

A simple synthesis of furo[2,3-c]pyridine and its 2- and 3-methyl derivatives from ethyl 3-hydroxyisonicotinate ( 2 ) is described. The hydroxy ester 2 was O-alkylated with ethyl bromoacetate or ethyl 2-bromopropionate to give the diester 3a or 3b . Cyclization of compound 3a afforded ethyl 3-hydroxyfuro [2,3-c]pyridine-2-carboxylate ( 4 ) which was hydrolyzed and decarboxylated to give furo[2,3-c]pyridin-3(2H)-one ( 5a ). Cyclization of 3b gave the 2-methyl derivative 5b . Reduction of 5a and 5b with sodium borohydride yielded the corresponding hydroxy derivative 6a and 6b , respectively, which were dehydrated with phosphoric acid to give furo[2,3-c]pyridine ( 7a ) and its 2-methyl derivative 7b . 4-Acetylpyridin-3-ol ( 8 ) was O-alkylated with ethyl bromoacetate to give ethyl 2-(4-acetyl-3-pyridyloxy) acetate ( 9 ). Saponification of compound 9 , and the subsequent intramolecular Perkin reaction gave 3-methylfuro[2,3-c]pyridine ( 10 ). Cyclization of 9 with sodium ethoxide gave 3-methylfuro[2,3-c]pyridine-2-carboxylic acid, which in turn was decarboxylated to give compound 10 .

Synthesis,Structure, and Electrochemical Characteristics of 4-Aryl-2-carbamoylmethylthio-5-ethoxycarbonyl-1,4-dihydropyridine-3-carboxylic Acid Nitriles

We have obtained 4-aryl-2-carbamoylmethylthio-5-ethoxycarbonyl-1,4-dihydropyridine-3-carboxylic acid nitriles by S-alkylation of the corresponding 2-thioxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyridine-3-carboxylic acid nitrile by iodoacetamide or one-pot multicomponent synthesis methods: condensation of 2-arylidene-acetoacetic acid ethyl ester, 2-cyanothioacetamide, piperidine, and iodoacetamide; acetoacetic acid ethyl ester, 3-aryl-2-cyanothioacrylamide, piperidine, and iodoacetamide; acetoacetic acid ethyl ester, an aromatic aldehyde, 2-cyanothioacetamide, piperidine, and iodoacetamide. We have carried out a comparative analysis of the capability of 2-alkylthio-4-aryl-5-ethoxycarbonyl-1,4-dihydropyridine-3-carboxylic acid nitriles for electrochemical oxidation as a function of the electronic properties of the aryl substituent in the 4 position of the heterocycle and the 2-alkylthio substituent. X-ray diffraction data indicate the existence of a hydrogen bond between the C=O of the 2-carbamoylmethylthio substituent and the NH of the hydrogenated heterocycle, which explains the more facile oxidation of the studied compounds compared with 2-methylthio-substituted 1,4-dihydropyridines.Dedicated to Academician V. Minkin to show our appreciation for his contribution to organic chemistry and his wonderful humanity, remembering his collaboration with his colleagues from Riga.__________Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 3, pp. 416–428, March, 2005.
