2-(3-ethyl-2,2-dimethylcyclobutyl-methyl)-4(3H)-quinazolinones

Anthranilic acid and its 5-bromo and 4-chloro derivatives react with pinanoic and pinonoic acid chlorides to give the corresponding N-acyl derivatives. The pinanoyl derivatives give the corresponding 2-(3-ethyl-2,2-dimethyl-cyclobutylmethyl)-4-(3H)-quinazolinones when refluxed in formamide. Pinanoylanthranilic acid reacts with dicyclohexylcarbodiimide to give 2-(3-ethyl-2,2-dimethylcyclobutylmethyl)benz-3,1-oxazin-4(H)-one and subsequently with hydrazine hydrate to give 3-amino-2-(3-ethyl-2,2-dimethylcyclobutylmethyl)-4(3H)-quinazolinone. Refluxing of the pinanoyl- and pinonoylanthranilic acids with acetic anhydride gives acetylanthranilic acid, and pinonoylanthranilic acid gives 4(3H)-quinazolinone with formamide.Riga Technical University, Riga LV-1658, Latvia; e-mail: marina@osi.lanet.lv.

Synthesis and anticonvulsant activity of 3-amino-4(3H)-quinazolinones

Several 3-amino-4(3H)-quinazolinones were prepared from o-aminobenzoylhydrazines and triethyl orthoformate or from isatoic anhydrides, hydrazines and triethyl orthoformate. o-Aminobenzoylhydrazine intermediates were obtained by reaction of isatoic anhydrides with hydrazines. Some of the aminoquinazolinones displayed anticonvulsant activity in mice.     

Lithiation of 3-(Acylamino)-2-unsubstituted-, 3-(Acylamino)-2-ethyl-, and 3-(Acylamino)-2-propyl-4(3H)-quinazolinones: Convenient Syntheses of More Complex Quinazolinones(1)

3-(Pivaloylamino)- and 3-(acetylamino)-4(3H)-quinazolinones react with alkyllithium reagents to give 1,2-addition products in very good yields. Lithiation takes place with LDA and is regioselective at position 2. The lithium reagents thus obtained react with a variety of electrophiles to give the corresponding substituted derivatives in very good yields. Reactions of the lithium reagents with iodine give oxidatively dimerized cyclic structures. 3-(Pivaloylamino)- and 3-(acetylamino)-2-ethyl-4(3H)-quinazolinones and 3-(pivaloylamino)- and 3-(acetylamino)-2-propyl-4(3H)-quinazolinones are lithiated at the benzylic position with LDA. The lithium reagents so produced also react with a variety of electrophiles to give the corresponding 2-substituted-4(3H)-quinazolinone derivatives in very good yields. However, lithiation of 3-(acylamino)-2-(1-methylethyl)-4(3H)-quinazolinones was unsuccessful, as were lithiations of compounds having a diacetylamino group at position 3. The amide groups have been cleaved in good yield under basic or acidic conditions from some of the products to provide access to the free amino compounds.     

Synthesis of 3-amino-3,4-dihydro-2(1H)-quinazolinones as potential anticonvulsants

Thirteen 3-amino-3,4-dihydro-2(1H)-quinazolinones have been synthesized from ethyl chloroformate and o-aminobenzylhydrazines. The latter compounds were obtained from the metal hydride reduction of either o-aminobenzhydrazides or o-acylaniline hydrazones. All compounds were evaluated in mice in the maximal electroshock (MES) seizure and pentylenetetrazole (sc Met) seizure threshold tests for anticonvulsant activity and in the rotorod test to determine neurotoxicity. Five of the compounds showed activity in one or both tests at a dose of 300 mg/kg or lower. The most active compound is 3-dimethylamino-3,4-dihydro-2(1H)-quinazolinone.     

1-Alkyl-4-aryl-3,4-dihydro-2(1H)-quinazolinones and thiones. Synthesis and 1H-NMR spectra

A series of 1-alkyl-4-aryl-3,4-dihydro-2(1H)-quinazolinones and thiones were prepared by a modification of the Pictet-Spengler reaction that involves treatment of an N-alkyl-N-arylurea or thiourea with an aryl aldehyde in the presence of methanesulfonic acid. The ¹H-nmr spectra of several of these compounds gave rise to unusual OCH₂O and isopropyl signals.     

Concise synthesis of 2-amino-4(3H)-quinazolinones from simple (Hetero)aromatic amines

A novel and simple method of preparation of 2-alkylaminoquinazolin-4-ones with fused heteroaromatic rings from easily accessible (hetero)aromatic amines is described. The method is very efficient, and the 2-alkylaminoquinazolinone derivatives are obtained in three steps without chromatographic purification. The key step is the ring closure of the N-protected guanidine intermediates by intramolecular Friedel-Craft's type substitution.     

2-(3-Acetylamino-2,2-dimethylcyclobutyl)-methyl-4(3H)-quinazolinones

Beckmann rearrangement of N-[3-(1-hydroxyimino)ethyl-2,2-dimethylcyclobutyl]acetylanthranilic acid, and its 5-bromo and 4-chloro derivatives gives the corresponding N-(3-acetylamino-2,2-dimethylcyclobutyl)acetylanthranilic acids. Treatment of these acylanthranilic acids with formamide gives 2-(3-acetylamino-2,2-dimethylcyclobutyl)methyl-4(3H)-quinazoline and its 6-bromo and 7-chloro derivatives.     

Synthesis and structure of 3-amino-4-hetaryl-1-(2H)-isoquinolones

A one-step preparative method of synthesis of 3-amino-4-hetaryl-1(2H)-isoquinolones by reaction of 5-nitro-2-chlorobenzamides with -azahetarylacetonitriles in the presence of base has been developed. It has been shown that benzimidazo[1,2-b]isoquinolones may be obtained in this way.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 8, pp. 1104–1106, August, 1991.     

13C and 1H NMR analysis of the nitration products of 2-amino-4-oxo-(3H)-5-trifluoromethylquinazoline and 2-amino-4-oxo-(3H)-5-fluoroquinazoline

Nitration of 2-amino-4-oxo-(3H)-5-trifluoromethylquinazoline is shown to occur exclusively at C⁶ as determined from an analysis of long range ¹H and ¹⁹F scalar couplings to ring carbons. Nitration of 2-amino-4-oxo-(3H)-5-fluoroquinazoline is found to occur both at C⁶ and C⁸ as evident from an analysis of the ¹⁹F and ¹H couplings of the ring protons.     

2-Alkyl-4-amino-5-(tert-butyl-NNO-azoxy)-2H-1,2,3-triazole 1-oxides: synthesis and reduction

A new approach to the synthesis of 4-amino-5-(tert-butyl-NNO-azoxy)-2-R-2H-1,2,3-triazole 1-oxides 1 was developed. Compounds 1 were obtained by reactions of 3-amino-4-(tert-butyl-NNO-azoxy)furoxan with aliphatic amines RNH₂ (R = Me, Et, Prⁱ, Bu, and Bu^t). 4-Amino-5-(tert-butyl-NNO-azoxy)-2-tert-butyl-2H-1,2,3-triazole 1-oxide was transformed under the action of acids into 4-amino-5-(tert-butyl-NNO-azoxy)-1-hydroxy-1H-1,2,3-triazole. Methylation of the latter with diazomethane mainly involves the O atom of the triazole oxide ring. Reduction of compounds 1 gave 4-amino-5-(tert-butyl-NNO-azoxy)-2-R-2H-1,2,3-triazoles and 4-amino-5-(tert-butyldiazenyl)-2-R-2H-1,2,3-triazoles (R = Me, Prⁱ, and Bu^t). The structures of the compounds obtained were confirmed by ¹H, ¹³C, and ¹⁴N NMR spectroscopy.     

1-Phenyl-4(1H)-quinazolinones and 2,3-dihydro-1-phenyl-4(1H)-quinazolinones as potential cholecystokinin receptor ligands

A series of new l-phenyl-4(1H)-quinazolinones and 2,3-dihydro-1-phenyl-4(1H)-quinazolinones were synthesized and tested as cholecystokinin receptor ligands. All the compounds showed moderate affinity and 1-phenyl-4(1H)-quinazolinones resulted more effective towards the cholecystokinin-B receptor, meanwhile the dihydro derivatives were generally more effective towards the cholecystokinin-A receptor.     

NMR studies of 4(3H)-quinazolinones and 4(3H)-quinazolinethiones

Summary Unambiguous¹H and¹³C NMR assignments for 4(3H)-quinazolinones1–6 and their corresponding 4-thiones7–12 have been made. This resulted in the revision of the previous assignments for the two benzenoid carbons (C-5 and C-8) of quinazolinones1,2,4, and5. Thionation of the nucleophilic amides1–6 has been found to cause a distinct change in the¹³C chemical shift of particularly C-4, but also of those of C-4a, C-5, and C-8a. One-bond and several long range heteronuclear coupling constants for the compounds have also been measured.

Kernresonanzspektroskopie von 4(3H)-Chinazolinonen und 4(3H)-Chinazolinthionen

Zusammenfassung Die¹H- und¹³C-NMR-Spektren der 4(3H)-Chinazolinone1–6 und ihrer entsprechenden 4-Thione7–12 wurden zugeordnet. Dabei zeigte sich, daß eine frühere Zuordnung der beiden benzoiden Kohlenstoffe (C-5 und C-8) der Chinazolinone1,2,4 und5 falsch war. Ersatz des Sauerstoffs durch Schwefel in den nukleophilen Amiden1–6 führt insbesondere für C-4, aber auch für C-4a, C-5 und C-8a zu einer deutlichen Änderung der chemischen Verschiebung. Heteronukleare Kopplungskonstanten über eine und über mehrere Bindungen wurden bestimmt.

This is a convenient method for the synthesis of 2-amino-3-[2-(benz)azolyl]-4(5H)-ketopyrroles.Tarasa Shevchenko Kiev University, Kiev 252601, Ukraine; e-mail dov@fosfor.kiev.ua.

The synthesis of 2-amino-4(3H)-quinazolinones and related heterocycles via a mild electrocyclization of aryl guanidines

A new method for the preparation of 2-amino-4(3H)-quinazolinones and similar fused heterocycles is described. Simply warming a mixture of an aryl guanidine and carbonyl diimidazole in acetonitrile results in formation of a putative N-amidinoisocyanate intermediate which undergoes a 6π-electron electrocyclic reaction with the aryl ring to generate the quinazolinone ring system. The mild conditions are compatible with a variety of functional groups, and the reaction is shown to be successful on multigram scale.
