The reaction of benzo[b]thieno[2,3-b]benzo[b]thiophene S,S,S′,S′-tetroxide with primary and secondary amines and with alcohols gave 10 b-amino- and 10 b-alkoxy-5a, 10b-dihydro-benzo[b]thieno[2,3-b]benzo[b]thiophene S,S,S′,S′-tetroxides. These nucleophilic reagents do not add to benzo[b]thieno[2,3-b]benzo[b]thiophene S,S-dioxide.     

Multistep, microwave assisted, solvent free synthesis and antibacterial activity of 6-substituted-2,3,4-trihydropyrimido[1,2-c]9,10,11,12-tetrahydrobenzo[b]thieno[3,2-e]pyrimidines

A novel, efficient, microwave assisted route for the synthesis of 6-substituted-2,3,4-trihydropyrimido[1,2-c]-9,10,11,12-tetrahydrobenzo[b]thieno[3,2-e]pyrimidines in good yields has been developed. The intermediates, 2-substituted-4-[3-hydroxy(propyl-1-amino)]5,6,7,8-tetrahydrobenzo[b]thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidines were obtained by irradiating 2-substituted-4-chloro-5,6,7,8-tetrahydrobenzo[b]thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidines with 1-amino-propanol under basic conditions in a microwave oven. 4-Chlorothieno[2,3-d]pyrimidines were synthesized by microwave irradiation of equimolar mixture of 4-hydroxythieno[2,3-d]pyrimidines and phosphorus oxychloride. The final compounds were screened for antibacterial activity by Kirby Bauer's method using amicacin as the standard against various gram positive and gram negative bacteria. All the compounds showed antibacterial activity comparable with the standard.     

Ein Beitrag zur Chemie des 2,3-Dihydro-3-oxo-benzo[b]thiophen-1,1-dioxids Synthesen mit Nitrilen, 86. Mitt.

Summary 2,3-Dihydro-3-oxo-benzo[b]thiophen-1,1-dioxide (1) reacts as CH-acidic component with amidines of orthoesters and anilines resp. to give the anilinomethylene derivates3, 4, and5. With triethyl orthoformiate the hydroxymethylene-compound7 is obtained. Anilino- and phenylhydrazino derivates8 and9 prove the carbonyl activity of1, azo-coupling leads to10, whereas treatment of1 with sulfur and malononitrile yields the benzo[b]thieno[2,3-d]thiophenes11. Introduction of substituents with active NH-functions in position 2 of the dicyanomethylene-product2, such as azocoupling, reaction with phenyl isocyanate and formation of enamines, leads to ring closure reactions between a nitrile and the NH-group. Thereby the phenyl-benzo[4,5]thieno[2,3-c]pyridazines12, the phenyl-1H-benzo[4,5]thieno[2,3-c]pyridines13 and the phenylamino-benzo[4,5]thieno[2,3-c]pyridines14 are obtained.¹³C and¹⁵N-NMR spectroscopy was used as proof of the ring closure reactions.

     

Synthesis,photochemical synthesis and antitumor evaluation of novel derivatives of thieno[3',2':4,5]thieno[2,3-c]quinolones

The novel derivatives of thieno[3',2':4,5]thieno[2,3-c]quinolones 6a, 6b, 7, 10a and 10b were synthesized in multistep synthesis starting from thiophene-3-carboxaldehyde and malonic acid reacting in aldol condensation or from 3-bromothiophenes or methyl 4-bromothiophene-2-carboxylate reacting in Heck reaction. They resulted in corresponding substituted thienylacrylic acids 3a-c, which were cyclized into thieno[2,3-c]thiophene-2-carbonyl chlorides 4a-c and converted into thieno[2,3-c]thiophene-2-carboxamides 5a-d. Prepared carboxamides were photochemically dehydrohalogenated into corresponding substituted thieno[3',2':4,5]thieno[2,3-c]quinolones 6a-d. Compound 7 was prepared from 6d by alkylation with N-[3-(dimethylamino)propyl]chloride hydrochloride in the presence of NaH. Compounds 10a and 10b were prepared from 6c in the multistep synthesis over acid 8 and acid chloride 9. Compounds 6a, 6b, 7, 10a and 10b were found to exert cytostatic activities against malignant cell lines: pancreatic carcinoma (MiaPaCa2), breast carcinoma (MCF7), cervical carcinoma (HeLa), laryngeal carcinoma (Hep2), colon carcinoma (CaCo-2), melanoma (HBL), and human fibroblast cell lines (WI-38). The compound 6b, which bears the 3-dimethylaminopropyl substituent on quinolone nitrogen and methoxycarbonyl substituent on position 9, exhibited marked antitumor activity. On the contrary, compound 7, which also bears the 3-dimethylaminopropyl substituent on the quinolone nitrogen but anilido substituent on position 9, exhibited less antitumor activity than the others.

An efficient method for the synthesis of novel benzo[b]pyrido[3',2':4,5] thieno[2,3-e][1,6] naphthyridine-8-one derivatives has been developed using a Pictet-Spengler reaction between 4-(3-aminothieno[2,3-b]pyridin-2-yl)quinoline-2-ones, which could be obtained from the alkylation of 4-bromomethylquinoline-2-ones with 3-cyanopyridine-2-thione followed by a Thorpe-Ziegler isomerization, and aromatic aldehydes under p-TsOH as catalysis in good yields.     

Condensed pyridine bases. A new approach to the synthesis of 3-phenacylbenzo[b]thiophenes and 3-phenacyl-5-ethylthieno[2,3-b]thiophene. Synthesis of new derivatives of benzothieno[2,3-c]pyrylium and thieno[2′,3′:5,4]thieno-[2,3-c]pyrylium and pyridine bases

A new method is proposed for the production of substituted 3-phenacylbenzo[b]thiophenes by the intramolecular cyclization of 1-phenyl-4-phenylthio-1,3-butanediones in polyphosphoric acid. The analogous cyclization of 1-phenyl-4-(5-ethyl-2-thienylthio)-1,3-butanedione leads to 3-phenacyl-5-ethylthieno[2,3-b]thiophene. The acylation of substituted 3-phenacylbenzo[b]thiophenes and 3-phenacyl-5-ethylthieno[2,3-b]thiophene by the anhydrides of aliphatic acids in the presence of perchloric acid leads to 1-alkyl-3-phenylbenzothieno[2,3-c]pyrylium perchlorates and 2-ethyl-5-phenyl-7-methylthieno[2′,3′:5,4]thieno[2,3-c]pyrylium perchlorate. The action of ammonium acetate on the obtained salts gives the corresponding pyridine bases. L. M.

Condensed pyridine bases synthesis of some benzo[b]furo[2,3-c]-, benzo[b]- thieno[2,3-c]-, and benzo[b]selenopheno[2,3-c]-quinolines

Summary Condensation of benzo[b]furan-3(2H-one, benzo[b]thiophen-3(2H)-one and benzo[b]selenophen-3(2H)-one with dimedone gives 2-(3-heteryl)dimedones. Acylation of the latter leads to the corresponding tetracyclic pyrylium salts, from which condensed quinolines are obtained. Some condensed quinoline derivatives are obtained by reaction of 1-oxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroheterene[2,3-c]quinolines with sodium borohydride, hydrazine, and hydroxylamine.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 3, pp. 321–326, March, 1994.

A new reaction of benzo[b]thieno[3,2-b]benzo[b]thiophene disulfone with amines that takes place with opening of one of the thiophene rings and nucleophilic substitution in the heteroaromatic ring at the site of cleavage of the S-C bond was observed.

In this paper the reaction of 2‐(2′‐thienylmethylene)‐3,4‐dihydronaphthalen‐2(1H)‐one ( 1 ) with cyanothioacetamide gave a mixture of 3‐cyano‐5,6‐dihydro‐4‐(2′‐thienyl)‐benzo[h]quinolin‐2(1H)‐thione ( 2 ) and the related disulfide 3 . Compound 2 was reacted with some halo compounds namely; ethyl chloroacetate, chloroacetamide, chloro(N‐(p‐chlorophenyl))acetamide, N¹‐chloroacetylsulfanilamide, and 2‐chloromethyl‐1H‐benzimidazole to produce a series of 2‐(substituted)methylthio‐3‐cyano‐5,6‐dihydro‐4‐(2′‐thienyl)benzo[h]quinolines 4a , 4b , 4c , 4d , 4e and 11 .

A convenient approach to heterocyclic building blocks: synthesis of novel ring systems containing a [5,6]Pyrano[2,3-c]pyrazol-4(1H)-one moiety

Starting from commercially available educts, a straightforward synthetic route to new heterocyclic building blocks is exemplified with the one- or two-step synthesis of tri-, tetra-, or pentacyclic ring systems. Representatives of the following novel ring systems are prepared from 3-methyl-1-phenyl-2-pyrazolin-5-one and the corresponding o-halo-arenecarbonyl chloride using calcium hydroxide in refluxing 1,4-dioxane: pyrimidino[4',5':5,6]pyrano[2,3-c]pyrazol-4(1H)-one, thieno[3',2':5,6]pyrano[2,3c]pyrazol- 4-(1H)-one, thieno[3',4':5,6]pyrano[2,3-c]pyrazol-4(1H)-one, thieno[3',2':4',5']thieno[2',3':5,6]-pyrano[2,3-c]pyrazol-4(1H)-one, [1,3]dioxolo[5',6'][1]benzothieno[2',3':5,6]pyrano-[2,3-c]- pyrazol-4(1H)-one, pyridazino[4',3':5,6]pyrano[2,3-c]pyrazol-4(1H)-one and pyrazolo-[4',3':5',6']pyrido[3',4':5,6]pyrano[2,3-c]pyrazol-4(1H)-one. While the latter two ring systems are directly obtained due to a spontaneous intramolecular substitution reaction, in the other reactions uncyclised 4-aroylpyrazol-5-ols are produced, which are cyclised into the target heterocycles in a subsequent synthetic step (i.e. treatment with NaH in DMF). Detailed NMR spectroscopic investigations ((1)H-, (13)C-, (15)N-) with the obtained compounds were undertaken to unambiguously prove the new structures.
