Fused 1,2,4-triazole heterocycles. IV. Synthesis of four new heterocyclic ring systems of [1,2,4]triazolo[1,3]thiazinoquinolines

Syntheses of 5H-[1,2,4]triazolo[5′,1′:2,3][1,3]thiazino[5,4-c]quinolines 8, 5H-[1,2,4]triazolo[3′,4′:2)3][1,3]thiazino[5,4-c]quinolines 9, 5H-[1,2,4]triazolo[5′,1′:2,3][1,3]thiazino[5,6-c]quinolines 14 and 5H-[1,2,4]triazolo[3′,4′:2,3][1,3]thiazino[5,6-c]quinolines 15 are described starting from 4-chloro-3-chloromethylquinaldine (4) and 1,2,4-triazole-5-thiols 5 taking advantage of different reactivity of the chlorine atoms of 4 under different reaction conditions. The structures of products 8, 9, 14 and 15 and the intermediates leading to them were confirmed by desulfurization, unequivocal syntheses and nmr spectroscopy as well.     

Synthesis of 1H,3H-imidazo[1,5-c]thiazole-5,7-[6H,7aH]-dione and 7,8-dihydro-5-H-imidazo[1,5-c][1,3]thiazine-1,3-[2H,8aH]-dione and derivatives

1H,3H-Imidazo[1,5-c]thiazole-5,7-[6H,7aH]-dione and the corresponding 7-thione derivatives as well as 7,8-dihydro-5H-imidazo[1,5-c][1,3]thiazine-1,3-[2H,8aH]-dione and the corresponding 3-thione derivatives were synthesized starting from L -cysteine and DL -homocysteine thiolactone, respectively. The second group of bicyclic compounds represents a new heterocyclic ring system. The structures of the compounds were confirmed by spectroscopic studies and elemental analyses.     

Synthèse et propriétés photochromiques de 1, 3-dihydrospiro[2H-indole-2,3′-[3H]pyrimido[5,4-f][1,4]benzoxazines] et de 1,3-dihydrospiro[2H-indole-2,7′-[7H]thiazolo[5,4-f][1,4]benzoxazines]

Synthesis and Photochrmic Characteristics of 1,3-Dihydrospiro[2H-indole-2,3′-[3H-]pyrimido[5,4-f][1,4]benzoxazines] and 1,3-Dihydrospiro[2H-indole-2,7′[7H]thiazolo[5,4-f][1,4]benzoxazines] Two new series of 1,3-dihydrospiro[2H-indole-ozazine] derivatives were synthesized, the 1,3-dihydrospiro[2H-indole-2,3′-[3H]pyrimido[5,4]pyrimido[5,4-f][1,4]benzoxaines] 4-10 and the 1,3-dihydrospiro[2H-indole2,7′-[7H]thiazolo-[5,4-f][1,4]benzoxaines] 11–17 . These series extend the available range of photochromic properties (rate constant of thermal bleaching, UV/VIS spectrum of the opened coloured form, and photocoloration yield), an interesting feature of variable-transmission materials. The synthesis of these compounds (Scheme 1) required the preliminary synthesis of intermediate β-hydroxy-α-nitrosotherocycles 18 and 19 (Scheme 2). Important amounts of a coloured, non-photochromic, stable secondary product (See 20 ) were found in the condensation in the spiro[indole-thiazolobenzoxazine] series. The photochromic characteristics of the new derivatives were determined using a flash-photolysis apparatus coupled to a fast-scanning spectrometer. The role of the heteroatoms in the oxazine moiety and the role of substitutents in the indole moiety were investigated quantitatively through the study of the photochromic properties and the solvent effects. The presence of an S-atom gives rise to interesting properties which open up new prospects for synthesis and application.     

(8,9-Dihydro-7H-imidazo[1,2-c][1,3]diazepin-5-yl)-cyanamide und homologe imidazo-bizyklen

The reaction of the 2-(ω-aminoalkyl)imidazoles 4a-f with N-cyanodi-phenylimidocarbonate ( 7 ) leads to appropriately hydrogenated imidazo-[1,5-a]imidazoles, imidazo[1,2-c][1,3]diazepines and imidazo[1,2-c][1,3]diazocines ( 9a-f ), which are similar to (7,8-dihydroimidazo)[1,2-c]pyrimidin-5-yl)cyanamides ( 3 )[1] in respect to their chemical and spectroscopic properties.     

Preparation of pyrazolo[5,1-c][1,4]benzoxazines by intramolecular [3+ + 2] cycloaddition reaction of hydrazonium chlorides with alkenes

Pyrazolo[5,1-c][1,4]benzoxazines were prepared by the reaction of 2-(allyloxy)phenylhydrazine with arylaldehydes in the presence of hydrochloric acid. The formation of the fused heterocycles can be explained by intramolecular 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction of cationic dipole, i.e‥, hydrazonium chlorides.     

A convenient synthesis of 1,2,4-triazolo[4,3,2-o,p]-[1,3]diazocino[4,5-b]quinoxalines via a 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction and a ring transformation

The reaction of 6-chloro-2-hydrazinoquinoxaline 4-oxide 5 with triethyl orthoformate gave 7-chloro-1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-a]quinoxaline 5-oxide 6. The reaction of compound 6 with phenyl isocyanate afforded 7-chloro-4-phenylamino-1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-a]quinoxaline 7 , while the reaction of compound 6 with phenyl isothiocyanate resulted in deoxygenation to provide 7-chloro-1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-a]quinoxaline 8. However, the reaction of compound 6 with allyl isothiocyanate effected the 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction, but not deoxygenation, to furnish 9-chloro-4,5-dihydroisoxazolo[2,3-a][1,2,4]triazolo[3,4-c]quinoxalin-5-ylmethylisothiocyanate 9. Moreover, the reduction of compound 9 with iron/acetic acid resulted in ring transformation to give 11 -chloro-7-hydroxy-4-thioxo-4,5,6,7,8,9-hexahydro-1,2,4-triazolo[4,3,2- o,p][1,3]diazocino[4,5-b]quinoxaline 10 , whose acetylation afforded 5-acetyl-11-chloro-7-hydroxy-4-thioxo-4,5,6,7,8,9-hexahydro-1,2,4-triazolo[4,3,2-o,p][1,3]diazocino[4,5-b]quinoxaline 11.     

Synthesis of tricyclic isoindoles and thiazolo[3,2-c][1,3]benzoxazines

The thermolysis of (3R,9bS)-5-oxo-2,3,5,9b-tetrahydrothiazolo[2,3-a]isoindole-3-carboxylic acids in Ac₂O led to novel 3-methylene-2,5-dioxo-3H,9bH-oxazolo[2,3-a]isoindoles and chiral (9bS)-5-oxo-2,3,5,9b-tetrahydrothiazolo[2,3-a]isoindoles were obtained on FVP. Starting from l-cysteine methyl ester (3R,10bR)-5-oxo-2,3-dihydro-10bH-[1.3]thiazolo[3,2-c][1,3]benzoxazines were obtained as single stereoisomers. The thermolysis of (3R,10bR)-5-oxo-2,3-dihydro-10bH-[1.3]thiazolo[3,2-c][1,3]benzoxazine-3-carboxylic acid in Ac₂O gave 5-acetyl-2-phenyl-2,3-dihydrothiazole. The structures of methyl (3R,9bS)-5-oxo-2,3,5,9b-tetrahydrothiazolo[2,3-a]isoindole-3-carboxylate 1a and methyl (2R,4R)-N-chlorocarbonyl-2-(2-hydroxyphenyl)thiazolidine-4-carboxylate 9 were determined by X-ray crystallography.     

Recyclization of 1,3-dimethylbenzo[b]furo[2,3-c]- and 1,3-dimethylbenzo[b]thieno[2,3-c]pyrylium when treated with secondary amines. Synthesis of 3-dialkylamino derivatives of dibenzofuran and dibenzothiophene

We have established that 2,4-dimethylbenzo[b]furo[3,2-c]pyrylium and 2,4-dimethylbenzo[b]thieno[3,2-c]pyrylium salts can undergo recyclization to 3-dialkylamino derivatives of dibenzofuran and dibenzothiophene when treated with secondary amines. We compare the physicochemical and spectral characteristics of the compounds obtained with the recyclization products of 1,3-dimethylbenzo[b]furo[2,3-c]- and 1,3-dimethylbenzo[b]thieno[2,3-c]pyrylium salts.

Synthesis and selected properties of N-substituted pyrrolo[2,1-c]-1,3-diazacycloalkano[1,2-a]pyrazinones

The reactions of methyl α-(2-formyl-1H-pyrrol-1-yl)carboxylates with N-substituted aliphatic 1,2-, 1,3-, and 1,4-diamines afford new pyrrole-containing heterocyclic systems: 1,2,3,10b-tetrahydroimidazo[1,2-a]pyrrolo[2,1-c]pyrazin-5(6H)-ones, 1,3,4,11b-tetrahydro-2H-pyrrolo[2′,1′:3,4]pyrazino[1,2-a]pyrimidin-6(7H)-ones, and 1,2,3,4,5,12b-hexahydro-pyrrolo[2′,1′:3,4]pyrazino[1,2-a][1,3]diazepin-7(8H)-ones. The reduction of these compounds with different reagents was studied.     

Quino[1,2-c]quinazolines. I. Synthesis of quino[1,2-c]quinazolinium derivatives and the related indazolo[2,3-a]quinoline derivatives as analogs of the antitumor benzo[c]phenanthridine alkaloids

9,10-Dimethoxy-1,2,3,4,12,13-hexahydro-1-oxoquino[1,2-c]quinazolinium perchlorate, 1,2,3,4,13,24-hexahydro-1-oxo[1,3]dioxolo[4,5-g]quino[1,2-c]quinazolinium perchlorate, 6-methyl-2,3,9,10-tetramethoxyquino-[1,2-c]quinazolinium perchlorate and 2,3-dimethoxy-13-methyl[1,3]dioxolo[4′,5′:6,7]quino[1,2-c]quinazolinium perchlorate were synthesized as analogs of the potent antitumor benzo[c]phenanthridine alkaloids nitidine and fagaronine. The related 2,3,8,9-tetramethoxyindazolo[2,3-a]quinoline and 2,3-dimethoxy[1,3]dioxolo-[4,5-g]indazolo[2,3-a]quinoline were also synthesized. Further, the novel formation of 6,7-dimethoxy-2-(2-ethylamino-4,5-dimethoxyphenyl)quinoline via reductive alkylation with Raney nickel in refluxing ethanol is also reported.     

Structural analogues of quinoline alkaloids: Straightforward route to [1,3]dioxolo[4,5-c]quinolines with antibacterial properties

Compounds bearing [1,3]dioxolo-quinoline scaffolds have been found in quinoline-based natural products; the only exception is the [1,3]dioxolo[4,5-c]quinoline moiety with a rare occurrence in both natural and synthetic derivatives. In this article, we report the preparation of diversely substituted and functionalized [1,3]dioxolo[4,5-c]quinolines using [1,3]dioxolo[4,5-c]quinoline-4-carbaldehyde (DQC) as the common intermediate. DQC was synthesized on a large scale from anthranilic acid and chloroacetone as the starting materials, with the rearrangement of acetonyl-anthranilate as the key step. The developed method allows for the simple preparation of [1,3]dioxolo[4,5-c]quinolines with various C2 substituents on the quinoline scaffold. Additionally, the synthetic route was successfully applied to the preparation of 3-hydroxyquinoline-4(1H)-ones. The target compounds were tested against representative Gram-positive/negative bacteria, and two derivatives exhibited submicromolar minimum inhibitory concentrations against Micrococcus luteus.     

Thermisch und photochemisch induzierte intramolekulare, 1,3-dipolare Cycloadditionen von 5-(2-Allyloxyphenyl)-2-phenyltetrazol. Vorläufige Mitteilung. 54 Mitteilung über Photoreaktionen

Thermal and Photochemically Induced Interamolecular 1,3-Dipolar Cycloaddition Reactions of 5-(2-Allyloxyphenyl)-2-phenyltetrazole The title compound 5 is easily obtained by a recently described procedure (Scheme 2). The tetrazole 5 reacts at 165–170° or on irradiation at room temperature to yield 2-phenyl-3,3a-dihydrochromano[4,3-c]pyrazole ( 7 , Scheme 3), which probably arises by intramolecular [3+2]-cycloaddition of the intermediate nitrilimine. Dehydrogenation of 7 with chloranil leads to 2-phenylchromano[4,3-c]pyrazole ( 8 , Scheme 3).     

Manganese dioxide oxidation of 3,4,4a,5-tetrahydro[1,2,4]triazino[6,1-c][1,4]benzoxazines

Since we developed [1] a synthetic entry to 3,4,4a,5-tetrahydro[1,2,4]triazino[6,1-c][1,4]benzoxazines 1 , we decided to explore the chemistry of this novel ring system. Its behaviour towards manganese dioxide is here described.     

Synthesis and some properties of N-unsubstituted pyrrolo[2,1-c]-1,3-diazacycloalkano[1,2-a]pyrazinones

Reactions of methyl 2-(2-formyl-1H-pyrrol-1-yl)alkanoates with unsubstituted aliphatic 1,2-, 1,3-, and 1,4-diamines gave N-unsubstituted pyrrolo[2,1-c]-1,3-diazacycloalkano[1,2-a]-pyrazinones. Some of them show ring-chain tautomerism. Transformations of these compounds led to a number of novel heterocyclic systems: 2,10-dihydro-3H,5H-imidazo[1,2-a]-pyrrolo[1,2-d]pyrazines, 2,3,4,11-tetrahydro-6H-pyrrolo[1??,2??:4,5]pyrazino[1,2-a]pyrimidines, 1,2,3,5,6,10b-hexahydroimidazo[1,2-a]pyrrolo[2,1-c]pyrazines, 1,3,4,6,7,11b-hexahydro-2H-pyrrolo[2??,1??:3,4]pyrazino[1,2-a]pyrimidines, and 2,3,4,5,6,7-hexahydro-1H-pyrrolo[2,1-c]-[1,4,7]triazacycloundecin-8(9H)-one.     

[1,3]Dioxolo[5,6][1]benzothieno[2,3-c]-quinolin-6(5H)-ones

Summary The reaction of 3,4-methylenedioxycinnamic acid (1) with thionyl chloride resulted in the formation of 7-chlorothieno[2,3-f]-1,3-benzodioxole-6-carbonyl chloride (2) and cinnamoyl chloride (3). Subsequent reaction of the former withp-substituted anilines led to the formation of 7-chloro-N-(p-substituted phenyl)-thieno[2,3-f]-1,3-benzodioxole-6-carboxamides (4a–c) which on photocyclization afforded 2-substituted [1,3]dioxolo[5,6][1]benzothieno[2,3-c]quinolin-6(5H)-ones (5a–c) in fairly good yields and high purity. The structures have been confirmed by IR,¹H NMR, and analytical methods.Accepted for presentation at the Hong Kong International Symposium on Heterocyclic Chemistry (August 13–16, 1995)     

Synthesis of 1,3-dialkylpyrazolo [1,5-a]-1,3,5-triazine-2,4-diones isomers of 1,3-dialkylxanthines

The synthesis of a new series of alkylxanthine analogs containing a bridgehead nitrogen atom is reported. 1,3-Dialkylpyrazolo[1,5-a]-1,3,5-triazine-2,4-diones, were prepared by the treatment of 3-methylpyrazolo[1,5-a]-1,3,5-triazine-2,4-dione (3) with the corresponding alkyl iodide. Similarly, the reaction of 3-methyl-7-phenylpyrazolo[1,5-a]-1,3,5-dialkyl-7-phenylpyrazolo[1,5-a]-1,3,5-triazine-2,4-diones. The starting materials, 3 and 17 , were prepared via the reaction of an appropriate 3-aminopyrazole with ethoxycarbonyl isothiocyanate. Several 8-bromo derivatives were prepared by direct bromination of the 1,3-dialkylpyrazolo[1,5-a]-1,3,5-triazine-2,4-diones.     

Stereoselective 1,3-Dipolar Cycloadditions to (S)-1-Benzoyl-3-(cyanomethylidene)-5-(methoxycarbonyl)pyrrolidin-2-one

(5S)-1-Benzoyl-3-[(E)-cyanomethylidene]-5-(methoxycarbonyl)pyrrolidin-2-one ( 5 ) was prepared in four steps from L -pyroglutamic acid ( 1 ). 1,3-Dipolar cycloadditions of diazomethane ( 6 ) and 2,4,6-trimethoxybenzonitrile oxide ( 7 ) gave substituted 1,2,7-triazaspiro[4.4]non-1-en-6-one 12 and 1-oxa-2,7-diazaspiro[4,4]non-1-en-6-one 13 in 38 and 20% de, respectively. On the other hand, reaction of 5 with N-phenylbenzonitrile imines 8 and 9 , generated in situ from the corresponding hydrazonoyl chlorides 10 and 11 , respectively, and Et₃N, furnished racemic pyrrolo[3,4-c]pyrazoles 14 and 15 in 61 and 56% de, respectively. Cycloaddition of nitrile oxide 7 , when performed in the presence of Et₃N, led to pyrrolo[3,4-d]isoxazole 16 in 85% de.     

Room temperature cyclization of arylpropiolic acid anhydride: Synthesis of naphtho[2,3-c]furan-1,3-dione derivatives

Cyclic anhydrides such as naphtho[2,3-c]furan-1,3-dione derivatives were synthesized from the reaction of arylpropiolic acids and 2-chloro-4,6-dimethoxy-1,3,5-triazine in the presence of N-methylmorpholine at room temperature. This mild condition provided the naphtho[2,3-c]furan-1,3-dione derivatives in good yields. Spectroscopic analysis suggested that the formation of arylpropiolate is the rate-determining step.     

Synthesis of 2-Aryl-2,3-dihydro-4H-[1,3]thiazino[3,2-a]benzimidazol-4-ones and 7-Aryl-2,3,6,7-tetrahydro-5H-imidazo[2,1-b]-1,3-thiazin-5-ones

The reaction of 2-mercaptobenzimidazole, 5-ethoxy-2-mercaptobenzimidazole, and 2-mercaptoimidazoline with cinnamoyl chloride, its derivatives, and heteroanalogs was studied. Convenient methods were found for the synthesis of 2-aryl-2,3-dihydro-4H-[1,3]thiazino[3,2-a]benzimidazol-4-ones and 7-aryl-2,3,6,7-tetrahydro-5H-imidazo[2,1-b]-1,3-thiazin-5-ones.     

Synthesis of pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyridines and pyrazolo[1,5-c]pyrimidines by reaction of heterocyclic amidrazones with 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds

1,3-Dicarbonyl compounds 2 react with 1-amino-2(1H)-pyridin-2-imines or 1-amino-2(1H)-pyrimidin-2-imines 1 giving new pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyridines or pyrazolo[1,5-c]pyrimidines 5 respectively by addition, oxidation and condensation. Isolation of an intermediate 3 shows that surprisingly the addition of the CH acidic 1,3 -dicarbonyl compound to position 6 of the pyrimidine 1 is the initial step.
