Copper‐Assisted/Copper‐Free Synthesis of Functionalized Dibenzo[b,f]oxepins and Their Analogs via a One‐Pot Tandem Reaction

A simple, convenient, and efficient method for the formation of functionalized dibenzo[b,f]oxepins and their analogs bearing both electron‐donating and electron‐withdrawing groups has been developed via a one‐pot cascade reaction. Most starting materials are commercially available 2‐(2‐hydroxyphenyl)acetonitriles and 2‐haloarylaldehydes. The procedure makes use of Cs₂CO₃ as the base, and DMF as solvent under copper‐assisted/copper‐free conditions. The reaction has a comprehensive group tolerance for substrates. Most of the reactions were complete within 1 h in good‐to‐excellent yields, and the reaction temperatures were relatively low. The protocol could be scaled up to grams without lowering the yield. A reaction mechanism was also proposed.

Facile Synthesis of Alkyl and Aryl Substituted Dibenzo[b,g][1,8]naphthyridin-5-ones

The reaction of 2,4-dichloroquinolines with o-aminoacetophenone and o-aminobenzophenone under neat conditions yielded 2′-acetyl and 2′-benzoyl substituted-4-chloro-2-(N-phenylamino)quinolines, respectively, which on treatment with sodium methoxide afforded the 2′-substituted-4-methoxy-2-(N-phenylamino)quinolines. These potential intermediates, on polyphosphoric acid–catalyzed cyclization at two different temperatures, gave the respective 6-methyl and 6-phenyl substituted dibenzo[b,g][1,8]naphthyridin-5-ones. These temperature differences for the formation of the final products were due to the in situ formation of the respective 2′-substituted-2-(N-phenylamino)quinolin-4-ones from the chloro and methoxy intermediates. The naphthyridin-5-ones were subjected to N-methylation, where the methyl group in the 1-position was found to hinder the reaction sterically, consequently increasing the reaction time to more than that of the other derivatives.

Synthesis and Study of Dibenzo[b,f]oxepine Combined with Fluoroazobenzenes—New Photoswitches for Application in Biological Systems

Dibenzo[b, f]oxepine derivatives are an important scaffold in natural, medicinal chemistry, and these derivatives occur in several medicinally relevant plants. Two dibenzo[b, f]oxepines were selected and connected with appropriate fluorine azobenzenes. In the next step, the geometry of E/Z isomers was analyzed using density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Then the energies of the HOMO and LUMO orbitals were calculated for the E/Z isomers to determine the HOMO-LUMO gap. Next, modeling of the interaction between the obtained isomers of the compounds and the colchicine α and β-tubulin binding site was performed. The investigated isomers interact with the colchicine binding site in tubulin with a part of the dibenzo[b, f]oxepine or in a part of the azo switch, or both at the same time. Based on the UV-VIS spectra, it was found that in the case of compounds with an azo bond in the meta position, the absorption bands n→π* for both geometric isomers and their separation from π→π* are visible. These derivatives therefore have the potential to be used in photopharmacology.
