Amide-based atropisomers in tachykinin NK1-receptor antagonists: synthesis and antagonistic activity of axially chiral N-benzylcarboxamide derivatives of 2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-6H-pyrido[2,3-b][1,5]oxazocin-6-one

A series of novel N-benzylcarboxamide derivatives of bicyclic compounds, 3,4-dihydropyrido[3,2-f][1,4]oxazepin-5(2H)-one and 2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-6H-pyrido[2,3-b][1,5]oxazocin-6-one, were synthesized by cyclization of N-benzyl-2-chloro-N-(2-hydroxyethyl)- [and -(3-hydroxypropyl)-] nicotinamides, respectively. Atropisomerism was observed in 5-[3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)benzyl]-7-phenyl-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-6H-pyrido[2,3-b][1,5]oxazocin-6-ones due to steric hindrance of the carboxamide moiety and restriction of its rotation. Cyclization of N-[3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)benzyl]-2-chloro-N-[(2S)-3-hydroxy-2-methylpropyl]-5-methyl-4-phenylnicotinamide gave (3S)-5-[3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)benzyl]-3,8-dimethyl-7-phenyl-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-6H-pyrido[2,3b][1,5]oxazocin-6-one, which exists predominantly in the thermodynamically stable aR-conformer in CDCl₃. This compound showed excellent NK₁-antagonistic activity with IC₅₀ value (in vitro inhibition of [¹²⁵I]-Bolton-Hunter-substance P binding in human IM-9 cells) of 0.47 nM, which is ca. 200-fold more potent than that of its enantiomer, indicating that the atropisomer chirality affects NK₁-receptor recognition.

Fused pyrimidine systems: XIII. Synthesis and some transformations of 1,3-thiazolo(thiazino)-fused pyrido[3,4-d]pyrimidines

2-[Allyl(propargyl)sulfanyl]pyrido[3,4-d]pyrimidin-4-ones at heating in polyphosphoric acid undergo an intramolecular cyclization with the formation of pyrido[4,3-e]thiazolo-[3,2-a]pyrimidin-5-ones of angular structure. Under similar conditions the cyclization of 2-(cinnamylsulfanyl)pyrido[3,4-d]-pyrimidin-4-one results in a linear pyrido[3′,4′:4,5]pyrimido-[2,1-b][1,3]thiazin-6-one. The iodocyclization of the same substrates affords the corresponding 9-(iodomethyl)(iodomethylidene)pyrido[4,3-e][1,3]thiazolo-[3,2-a]pyrimidin-5-ones and 3-iodopyrido[3′,4′:4,5]pyrimido[2,1-b][1,3]thiazin-6-one of angular structure. 9-(Iodomethyl)-8,9-dihydro-5H-pyrido[4,3-e][1,3]thiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidin-5-one treated with sodium azide gave 9-(azidomethyl) derivative whose cyclization with substituted alkynes in the presence of copper compounds provided pyrido [4,3-e][1,3]thiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidinylmethyltriazoles.     

Investigation of nitrogen- and sulfur-containing heterocyclic compounds

The halogenation of 2,3-dimethylpyrazino[2,3-b][1,4]thiazin-6-one with bromine or 1 mole of sulfuryl chloride gives 7-bromo-and 7-chloropyrazino[2,3-b][1,4]thiazin-6-ones, while 2 moles of sulfuryl chloride give 7,7-dichloropyrazino[2,3-b][1,4]thiazin-6-one. A number of 7-amino-and 7,7-diaminopyrazino[2,3-b][1,4]thiazin-6-ones were obtained by the reaction of the appropriate halo derivatives with amines. Some of the pyrazino[2,3-b][1,4]thiazin-6-one derivatives inhibit the growth of interweavable tumors in animals.See [3] for communication XX.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 11, pp. 1498–1501, November, 1971.

The regiospecific reaction of 3-benzyloxycarbonylaminomethylcarbonylamino-4-benzoylpyridine (6a) , or 3-t-butoxycarbonylaminomethylcarbonylamino-4-benzoylpyridine (6b) , with either acetyl chloride or ethyl chloroformate, and either n-butylmagnesium chloride or phenylmagnesium bromide afforded the respective 1-acetyl (or ethoxycarbonyl)-2-n-butyl (or phenyl)-3-benzyloxy (or t-butoxy) carbonylaminomethylcarbonylami-no-4-benzoyl-1,2-dihydropyridines 7 in 60-75% yield. Reaction of 1-acetyl (or ethoxycarbonyl)-2-n-butyl (or phenyl)-3-t-butoxycarbonylaminomethylcarbonyl-4-benzoyl-1,2-dihydropyridines 7b, 7f, 7d, 7h with trifluoroacetic acid gave the corresponding 5-phenyl-8-acetyl (or ethoxycarbonyl)-9-n-butyl (or phenyl)-1,3,8,9-tetrahydro-2H-pyrido[3,4-e]-1,4-diazepin-2-ones 8a, 8b, 8c, 8d respectively in 45–63% yield. N¹-Methylation of 5-phenyl-8-acetyl-9-n-butyl (or phenyl)-1,3,8,9-tetrahydro-2H-pyrido[3,4-e]-1,4-diazepin-2-ones 8a, 8b using sodium hydride and iodomethane yielded the corresponding N¹-methyl derivatives 9a (48%) and 9b (54%). Oxidation of 5,9-diphenyl-8-ethoxycarbonyl-1,3,8,9-tetrahydro-2H-pyrido[3,4-e]-1,4-diazepin-2-one (8d) using p-chloranil afforded 1,3-dihydro-5,9-diphenyl-2H-pyrido[3,4-e]-1,4-diazepin-2-one (10) . 5-Phenyl-8-acetyl-9-n-butyl-1,3,8,9-tetrahydro-2H-pyrido[3,4-e]-1,4-diazepin-2-one (8a) and the corresponding 8-ethoxycarbonyl analog 8c exhibited weak anticonvulsant activity indicating that 8a and 8c may be acting at the same site as the 7-halo-1,4-benzodiazepin-2-one class of compounds.     

Derivatives of condensed pyrimidine,pyrazine, and pyridine systems

Reaction of 2-mercapto-3-amino-5,6-dimethyl- and 2-mercapto-3-amino-5,6-diphenylpyrazines withα-halo acid esters gave 2-carbethoxy-3-aminopyrazines, which are converted by the action of sodium ethoxide to 5,6-dimethyl- and 5,6-diphenylpyrazino[2,3-b]-[1,4]thiazin-6-ones. The latter are more conveniently obtained from 2-chloro-3-amino-5,6-dimethyl- and 2-chloro-3-amino-5,6-diphenylpyrazines and thioglycolic acid. 5,6-Dihydropyrazinothiazine is formed by reduction of 5,6-dimethyl pyrazino[2,3-b][1,4]thiazin-6-one, whereas the 2,3-dimethyl-5-amino-6-sulfonic acid and its N-oxide are formed by oxidation.     

Fluorine-containing 3-arylhydrazono-2,4-dioxobutanoates in reactions with difunctional nucleophiles

3-Arylhydrazono-4-polyfluoroalkyl-2,4-dioxobutanoates reacted with hydrazines to give ethyl 4-aryldiazeno-3-polyfluoroalkyl-1H-pyrazole-5-carboxylates, while analogous reactions of ethyl 3-arylhydrazono-4-pentafluorophenyl-2,4-dioxobutanoates resulted in the formation of 4-aryldiazeno-3-pentafluorophenyl-1,2-dihydropyridazine-5,6-diones or 6-aryl-7,8,9,10-tetrafluoro-2-phenyl-2,4a,6,10b-tetradropyridazo[4,3-c]cinnoline-3,4-diones, depending on the conditions. Cyclocondensation of ethyl 3-arylhydrazono-4-polyfluoroalkyl(or pentafluorophenyl)-2,4-dioxobutanoates with ethylenediamine led to 3-[1-arylhydrazono-2-oxo-2-polyfluoroalkyl(or pentafluorophenyl)ethyl]-5,6-dihydropyrazin-2(1H)-ones, and 3-[1-arylhydrazono-2-oxo-2-polyfluoroalkyl(pentafluorophenyl)ethyl]benzoxazin-2-ones were formed in the condensation with o-aminophenol. Pentafluorophenyl-substituted heterocycles were found to undergo intramolecular ring closure to give 3-hetaryl-substituted 1-aryl-5,6,7,8-tetrafluoro-1,4-dihydrocinnolin-4-ones. The reactions of ethyl 3-arylhydrazono-4-pentafluorophenyl-2,4-dioxobutanoates with o-aminobenzenethiol gave 3-[7-(2-aminophenylsulfanyl)-1-aryl-5,6,8-trifluoro-4-oxo-1,4-dihydrocinnolin-3-yl]benzothiazin-2-ones; 8a-hydroxy-11,12,13,14-tetrafluoro-10-(4-methoxyphenyl)-2,3,4,5,6,7,8a,10-octahydropyrazino[1′,2′:4,5][1,4]diazepino[6,7-c]cinnolin-8-one was isolated in the condensation of ethyl 3-(4-methoxyphenylhydrazono)-4-pentafluorophenyl-2,4-dioxobutanoate with N-(2-aminoethyl)ethane-1,2-diamine.

A third strategy relies on the synthesis of the title compounds via an N-protected 2-(3-bromomethyl-1,4-dimethoxynaphth-2-yl)ethylamine. The synthesized 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-benz[g]isoquinoline-5,10-diones are a new class of quinones, which have not been reported yet.

The reaction of methyl 2-bromo-6-(trifluoromethyl)-3-pyridinecarboxylate ( 1 ) with methanesulfonamide gave methyl 2-[(methylsulfonyl)amino]-6-(trifluoromethyl)-3-pyridine-carboxylate ( 2 ). Alkylation of compound 2 with methyl iodide followed by cyclization of the resulting methyl 2-[methyl(methylsulfonyl)amino]-6-(trifluoromethyl)-3-pyridinecarboxylate ( 3 ) yielded 1-methyl-7-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-pyrido[2,3-c][1,2]thiazin-4(3H)-one 2,2-dioxide ( 4 ).

Novel synthesis of the pyrrolo[2,1-c][1,4]benzodiazocine ring system via a Dieckmann condensation

A novel four-step synthesis to the pyrrolo[2,1-c][1,4]benzodiazocine ring system is described. 1H-Pyrrole-2-carbaldehyde was alkylated with ethyl or methyl bromoacetate and the resulting ethyl or methyl (2-formyl-1H-pyrrol-1-yl)acetates oxidised with potassium permanganate to the corresponding 1-[(2-ethoxy or methoxy)-2-oxoethyl]-1H-pyrrole-2-carboxylic acids. The latter was converted into their acid chlorides by reaction with thionyl chloride and without isolation transformed into the respective methyl 2-({[1-(2-ethoxy or methoxy-2-oxoethyl)-1H-pyrrol-2-yl]carbonyl}amino)benzoates by reaction with methyl anthranilate. Dieckmann condensation of methyl 2-({[1-(2-methoxy-2-oxoethyl)-1H-pyrrol-2-yl]carbonyl}amino)benzoate provided the pyrrolo[2,1-c][1,4]benzodiazocine.
