6,11-Dihydro-12H-dibenzo[b,f][1,4]thiazocine, 4 , and its 2-chloro, 7 , and 2-(trifluoromethyl)-, 1 , derivatives, were prepared by the reaction of an o-aminobenzenethiol and α,α-dibromo-o-xylene. Acylation and alkylation at position-12 gave a series of ω-haloacyl-, ω-amino-acyl, and ω-aminoalkyl derivatives of these heterocycles. The conformations, proton magnetic resonance spectra, and x-ray crystallographic studies of these compounds are discussed.     

Microwave‐Assisted Synthesis of Substituted Dibenzo[b,f][1,4]thiazepines,Dibenzo[b,f][1,4]oxazepines,Benzothiazoles, and Benzimidazoles

A highly efficient synthesis for possessing 7‐membered rings with two heteroatoms is described, using efficient microwave‐assisted one‐pot method to synthesize (substituted) dibenzo[b,f][1,4]thiazepines [1] and dibenzo[b,f][1,4]oxazepines [2] in high yields (up to 99%) by cyclocondensations of o‐aminothiophenol or o‐aminophenol with o‐halobenzaldehydes, o‐fluoroacetophenone, and o‐fluorobenzophenone. In the absence of base, o‐aminothiophenol reacted with o‐halobenzaldehydes to afford benzothiazoles.     

Synthesis of tricyclic and tetracyclic thieno[3,2-f]-1,4-thiazepines

Treatment of 5-methylthio-2,3-dihydrothieno[3,2-f]-1,4-thiazepine ( 9 ) with acylhydrazines gave 5,6-dihydrothieno[3,2-f]-1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-d][1,4]thiazepines 10, 11 , and that of 9 with ethyl anthranilate gave 5,6-dihydrothieno[3′,2′:6,7][1,4]thiazepino[5,4-b]quinazolin-8-one ( 14 ). Reaction of 9 with hydrazine hydrate or 4-chlorophenylhydrazine afforded 5-hydrazino compounds 12, 15 , which were subsequently cyclized to ethyl 5,6-dihydrothieno[3,2-f]-1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-d][1,4]thiazepine-3-carboxylate ( 13 ), 2-(4-chlorophenyl)-5,6-dihydrothieno[3,2-f]-1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-d][1,4]thiazepin-3(2H)-one ( 16 ) and 2-(4-chlorophenyl)-6,7-dihydro-2H-thieno[3,2-f][1,2,4]triazino[4,3-d][1,4]thiazepine-3,4-dione ( 17 ).

Base-catalyzed intramolecular nucleophilic substitution for the 2-nitro group in 2-hydroxyanilides of 2-nitrobenzoic acids gave dibenzo[b,f][1,4]oxazepin-11(10H)-ones. In particular, 3-nitrodibenzo[b, f][1,4]oxazepin-11(10H)-one was obtained from N-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-2,4-dinitrobenzamide. The nitro group in the product could also be replaced under the action of O- and S-nucleophiles. Published in Russian in Izvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Treatment of thioxanthen-9-one 10,10-dioxides with sodium amide in liquid ammonia provided a novel one-step conversion to dibenzo[b,f][1,4]thiazepin-11(10H)one 5,5-dioxides. Some limitations and a possible mechanism for the reaction are discussed.     

CHEMICAL BEHAVIOR OF SOME BENZ[b] INDENO[1,2-e] [1,4] THIAZINE DERIVATIVES

Abstract

The study of the chemical behavior of some benz[b] indeno[1,2-e] [1,4] thiazine derivatives was accomplished. Different reactivities were observed for 4b,5-dihydrobenz[b]-indeno[1,2-e] [1,4] thiazine-10α(11H)-ol (3) and 5-ethyl-4b,5-dihydrobenz[b] indeno[1,2-e]-[1,4] thiazine-10α(11H)-ol (5); 3 is reoxidated to benz[b] indeno[1,2-e] [1,4] thiazine-10α(11H)-ol (2), while 5 undergoes transposition and oxidation to spiro[3-ethylbenzo-thiazol-2(3H), 1′-indan-2′-one] (6). Possible pathways for these transformations are discussed.     

Mass spectral fragmentation patterns of heterocycles. IX . Investigation of fundamental processes in 5H-dibenz[b,f]azepines and dihydro-5H-dibenz[b,f]azepines

Electron impact induced fragmentation patterns of 5H-dibenz[b,f]azepine ( 1a ), 10,11-dihydro-5H-dibenz-[b,f]azepine ( 2a ) and some 5-substituted derivatives were investigated using metastable ion studies, exact mass measurements and deuterated analogues. Studies employing 4,6-dideuterio derivatives indicate that the formations of ions of m/e 191, 180, 167, 166 and 152 are associated with a variety of skeletal reorganization processes accompanied by hydrogen (or deuterium) transfers involving peri (4- or 6-) hydrogen (or deuterium) atoms. The methyl radical expelled in the formation of the M-15 ion in the spectrum of 2a is derived from the benzylic carbon(s). A similar process is, in part, responsible for the expulsion of a methyl radical from the molecular ion of 5-methyl-10,1 1-dihydro-5H-dibenz[b,f]azepine ( 2c ) based on the fragmentation of the trideuteriomethyl derivative ( 2d ). Side chain α-cleavage processes dominate the spectra of (5H-dibenz[b,f]azepine-5-yl)acetaldehyde diethylacetal and its 10,11-dihydro analogue. Hydrogen atom transfer processes involving benzylic hydrogen atoms occur in the fragmentation of the 10,11-dihydro-5H-dibenz[b,f]azepines 2a, 2c and 2e .

The Synthesis of pyrimido[4,5-b][1,4]diazocines and pyrido[2,3-b][1,4]diazoeines

The reaction conditions for the preparation of 7H,8H-1,3-dimethyl-2,4,6,9-tetraoxopyrimidino[4,5-b][1,4]-diazocine ( 9 ), 1,3-dimethy 1–2,4,6,11-tetraoxobenzo[f]pyrimidino[4,5-b][1,4]diazocine ( 10 ), 7H,8H-1,3-dimethyl-2,4,6,10-tetraoxopyrimidino[4,5-b][1,4]diazonine ( 16 ), and 7H,8H-6,9-dioxopyridino[2,3-b][1,4]diazocine ( 19 ) were determined. The mechanism of the formation of these compounds was established. The scope of these reactions was found to be general for eight and nine ring formation from 2,3-diamino-N-heterocycles.     

Synthesis,Characterization, and Cytotoxicity Evaluation of Some New Benzo[f]coumarin Derivatives

Interaction of 2‐(bromoacetyl)‐3H‐benzo[f]coumarin ( 1 ) with salicylaldehyde afforded 2‐(2‐oxo‐2‐(3H‐benzo[f]coumarin‐2‐yl)ethoxy)benzaldehyde ( 2 ) which underwent self‐condensation in refluxing dimethylformamide (DMF) to afford 2‐(2‐benzofuroyl)‐3H‐benzo[f]coumarin (3). Treatment of 1 with o‐aminothiophenol ( 4 ) gave 2‐(2‐((2‐aminophenyl)thio)acetyl)‐3H‐benzo[f]coumarin (5) . Refluxing of 5 in DMF led to formation of 2‐(4H‐[1,4]‐benzothiazin‐3‐yl)‐3H‐benzo[f]coumarin (6). Treatment of 1 with aryl amines 7a–d in boiling DMF gave 1‐aryl‐3‐hydroxybenzo[5,6]chromeno[4,3‐b]pyrrol‐4(1H)‐one ( 10a–d ) . Condensation of 11 with o‐phenylenediamine gave 2‐(2‐methyl‐2,3‐dihydro‐1H‐benzimidazol‐2‐yl)‐3H‐benzo[f]coumarin ( 12 ). Interaction of 2‐acetyl‐3H‐benzo[f]coumarin ( 11 ) with arylidene malonononitrile gave 4‐hydroxy‐2‐(3H‐benzo[f]coumarin‐2‐yl)‐5H‐dibenzo[c,f]chromen‐5‐one ( 16) . All reaction products were characterized by analytical and spectral data. Novel compounds bioactivity as antitumor were examined for in vitro cytotoxicity against HepG‐2 and MCF‐7.     

Reaction of 5-acetyl-10,11-didehydro-5H-dibenz[b,f]azepine with pyrrole,N-methylpyrrole,imidazole and N-methylimidazole: Cycloaddition versus michael addition

Reaction of 5-acetyl-10-bromo-5H-dibenz[b, f]azepine 1 with potassium t-butoxide results in the reactive intermediate 5-acetyl-10,11-didehydro-5H-dibenz[b, f]azepine ( 2 ). The intermediate 2 reacts with N-methylpyrrole to give a mixture of the Michael addition adduct 10-(2-N-methylpyrrolyl)-5H-dibenz[b, f]azepine ( 9 ) and the Diels-Alder/retro Diels Alder adduct 8H-(N-methylpyrrolo[3,4-d]dibenz[b, f]azepine ( 8a ). Reaction of 2 with pyrrole gives a mixture of two Michael addition adducts 10-(1-pyrrolyl)-5H-dibenz[b, f]azepine ( 16 ) and 10-(2-pyrrolyl)-5H-dibenz[b, f]azepine ( 18 ). Reaction of 2 with imidazole results in the Michael addition adduct 10-(1-imidazolyl)-5H-dibenz[b, f]azepine ( 21 ).     

Synthesis of 11-aminodibenzo[b,f][1,4]thiazepines and fluoro derivatives

The reaction of balogenobenzonitriles with 2-aminobenzenethiol is a new route, in a “one-pot” or two-step approach, to 11-aminodibenzo[b,f][1,4]thiazepine and fluoro derivatives.

SYNTHESIS,REACTIVITY AND CONFORMATION OF 10,11-DIHYDRODIBENZO-[b,f]PHOSPHEPIN AND DIBENZO[b,f]PHOSPHEPIN DERIVATIVES. PHOSPHORUS ANALOGUES OF IMINOBIBENZYL ANTIDEPRESSANTS

Abstract

Derivatives of the novel dibenzo[b,f]phosphepin system are prepared from 10,11-dihydro-5-phenyl-5H-bibenzo[b,f]phosphepin 5-oxide (2). New members in the 10,11-dihydro-5H-dibenzo[b,f]phosphepin series, including phosphorus analogues (7, 10) of the andidepressant drug imipramine (30), are also reported. Products of nucleophilic substitution at tetrahedral phosphorus in 2 appear to be determined by the relative apicophilicity of the nucleophile. Conformational analysis based on ¹H NMR data suggests folded (“butterfly”) conformation for the tricyclic compounds. The twisted boat conformation of the central ring in the 10,11-dihydro compounds bears a pseudo-equatorial P[dbnd]O oxygen or a P[dbnd]S sulfur, in solution. Symmetric AA‘BB’ spin systems are found in 4,5 and 7, and their solution conformations appear to be similar to those of analogous 10,11-dihydrodibenzo[b,f]azepine derivatives. The interaction of some compounds with NMR shift reagents and their mass spectral fragmentations are discussed.     

Research on nitrogen heterocyclic compounds. XV. Synthesis of 1H,4H-pyrazolo[4,3f]pyrrolo[1,2-a][1,4]diazepine derivatives

The synthesis of derivatives of 1H,4H-pyrazolo[4,3-f]pyrrolo[1,2-a][1,4]diazepine, a new tricyclic nitrogen-containing nucleus is reported. Condensation of arylaldehydes with 4-aminomethyl-1-phenyl-5-(1-pyrryl)pyrazole afforded the title compounds. Bischler-Napieralski intramolecular cyclization of 4-acetamidomethyl-1-phenyl-5-(1-pyrryl)pyrazole was also studied. The reaction led to 6-methyl-1-phenyl-1H,4H-pyrazolo[4,3-f]pyrrolo[1,2-a][1,4]diazepine or alternatively to 4-chloromethyl-1-phenyl-5-(1-pyrryl)pyrazole depending on the solvent used.     

Photoinduced Molecular Transformations. Part 142. One-step syntheses of 1H-benz[f]indole-4,9-diones and 1H-indole-4,7-diones by a new regioselective photoaddition of 2-amino-1,4-naphthoquinones and 2-amino-1,4-benzoquinones with alkenes

The 2,3-dihydro-1H-benz[f]indole-4,9-diones 3a–d , h were formed in a one-step reaction in 13–82% yield by an unprecedented [3 + 2] regioselective photoaddition of 2-amino-1,4-naphthoquinone ( 1 ) with various electronrich alkenes 2 (Scheme 1, Table). The [3 + 2] photoadducts derived from 1 with vinyl ethers and vinyl acetate gave 1H-benz[f]indole-4,9-diones 4e , f , i , in 33–72% yield, by spontaneous loss of the corresponding alcohol or AcOH from the resulting adducts; 4i has a kinamycin skeleton. The [3 + 2] photoaddition also took place on irradiation of the differently substituted amino-1,4-benzoquinones 6 , 7 , and 12 and excess alkenes 2 in benzene, giving 1H-indole-4,7-dione derivatives 13 and 14 (Scheme 3), 15a and 16 (Scheme 4), and 18 (Scheme 4), respectively. The initial products in these photoadditions were proved to be hydroquinones, the air oxidation of which yielded the heterocyclic quinones; 2,3-dihydro-2-methoxy-2-methyl-5-phenyl-1H-indole-1,4,7-triyl triacetate ( 19 ) was isolated after treatment of the crude photoaddition mixture obtained from 2-amino-5-phenyl-1,4-benzoquinone ( 7 ) and 2-methoxyprop-1-ene ( 2f ) with Ac₂O and pyridine under N₂. A pathway leading to the annelated hydroquinones involving ionic intermediates arising from an electron transfer in these photoadditions is proposed (Scheme 5).     

Synthesis of Morpholinyl and Piperazinyl Derivatives of Polyfluorodibenz[b,f]-1,4-oxazepines

5,12-Diacylated-5,6,11,12-tetrahydrodibenzo[b,f][1,4]-diazocines and related compounds

Both N,N′ -(o-phenylene)diformamide (1) and N,N′ -(4-chloro-1,2-phenylene)diformamide (30) reacted with α,α-dibromo-o-xylene (2) in DMF at 95–100° to give 5,6,11,12-tetrahydrodibenzo-[b,f][1,4]diazocine-5,12-dicarboxaldehyde (3a) and the corresponding 2-chloro derivative (3b). With potassium hydroxide in ethylene glycol at 110°, 3a and 3b were selectively saponified to the 5-carboxaldehyde derivatives (4) and either 21a or 22a. Reacylation of the latter led to a series of 5,12-unsymmetrically diacylated derivatives, 5–18. Additionally, 4 was subjected (a) to a basecatalyzed addition to acrylonitrile to give the 12-cyanoethyl derivative (19) and (b) alkylation with α-bromotoluene to give the 12-benzyl compound (20). Saponification of both carboxaldehyde groups in 3a,b required potassium hydroxide in ethylene glycol at 135° and gave the N,N′ -unsubstituted heterocycles (23 and 24) ; these were subsequently reacted with several aldehydes to yield the 5,12-methano derivatives (25–29) .
