Some new 4-(2,6-diarylpyridin-4-yl)-2H-chromen-2-one derivatives 5a–l have been synthesized by reacting 4-(3-oxo-3-arylprop-1-enyl)-2H-chromen-2-ones 3a–c with appropriate 1-(2-oxo-2-arylethyl)pyridinium bromide salt 4a–d in the presence of ammonium acetate in refluxing glacial acetic acid. The newly synthesized compounds have been characterized by elemental and spectral analysis.

4-(1-Acetyl-4(1H)-pyridylidene)-2-oxazolin-5-ones were prepared by the reaction of acylglycines with pyridine and acetic anhydride under oxygen. Acidic and alkaline hydrolysis of 2-oxazolin-5-ones provided oxazole derivatives, pyridine derivatives, and carboxylic acids.     

Synthesis of pyrido[1,2-a]pyrimido[4,5-d]pyrimidin-5-ones. Cyclization reaction of 4-[(3-hydroxy-2-pyridyl)amino]-2-phenyl-5-pyrimidinecarboxylic acid with acetic anhydride

Treatment of 4-[(3-hydroxy-2-pyridyl)amino]-2-phenyl-5-pyrimidinecarboxylic acid (X) with acetic anhydride under refluxing conditions afforded 10-hydroxy-2-phenyl-5H-pyrido[1,2-a]-pyrimido[4,5-d]pyrimidin-5-one acetate (IX). The intermediate X was prepared from 4-chloro-2-phenyl-5-pyrimidinecarboxylic acid ethyl ester (V). The reaction of V with the sodium salt of 2-amino-3-hydroxypyridine at room temperature gave 4-(2-amino-3-pyridyloxy)-2-phenyl-5-pyrimidinecarboxylic acid ethyl ester (VI). Treatment of VI with a hot aqueous sodium hydroxide solution and subsequent acidification gave X. Involvement of 4-[(3-hydroxy-2-pyridyl)amino]-2-phenyl-5-pyrimidinecaroboxylic acid ethyl ester (VIII) (Smiles rearrangement product) as an intermediate in the above alkaline hydrolysis reaction of VI to X was demonstrated by the isolation of VIII and its subsequent conversion into X under alkaline hydrolysis conditions. Acetylation of VIII with acetic anhydride in pyridine solution gave 4-[(3-hydroxy-2-pyridyl)amino]-2-phenyl-5-pyrimidinecarboxylic acid ethyl ester acetate (XI), which afforded IX on fusion at 220°. This alternative synthesis of IX from XI supported the structural assignment of IX. Fusion of VI gave 10-hydroxy-2-phenyl-5H-pyrido[1,2-a]pyrimido]4,5-d]pyrimidin-5-one (VII). The latter was also obtained when VIII was fused at 210°. Acetylation of VII with acetic anhydride afforded IX.

The treatment of N-[2-(1H-indol-3-yl)ethyl]alkanamide, 1 (1), with phosphorus oxychloride under controlled conditions gave l-alkyl-2,3,4,9-tetrahydro-1H-pyrido[3,4-b]indol-1-ol, 2 . The reaction of 2 with acetic anhydride or with methyl isocyanate at room temperature resulted in the formation of amido carbinol 3 and urea carbinol 7, respectively. The former was transformed into amido ester 4 by boiling acetic anhydride. When the reaction of 3 with acetic anhydride was carried out in the presence of excess triethylamine at 105°, C-N bond cleavage of the tetrahydropyridine ring took place with concurrent bis(N-acetylation) to give the enol ester derivative 5 . The structures of all compounds are consistent with chemical and spectral evidence.     

Rearrangement in the series of 3-(2-aryl-2-oxoethyl)-3,4-dihydroquinoxalin-2(1H)-ones

4-Acetyl- and 4-succinyl-3-(2-aryl-2-oxoethyl)-3,4-dihydroquinoxalin-2(1H)-ones undergo the rearrangement into (Z)-2-(3-arylquinoxalin-2-ylidene)acetic acids accompanied by the elimination of the acyl groups. The nitration of 3-(2-oxo-2-phenylethyl)-3,4-dihydro-quinoxalin-2(1H)-one affords 5-nitro- and 7-nitro-2-carboxymethylidenequinoxalines. The bromination of quinoxalin-2-ones in AcOH gives 3-aryl-2-carboxymethylidenequinoxalines and the corresponding 7-bromo derivatives, with the former products predominating.     

Direct introduction of heterocyclic residues into 1,2,4-triazin-5(2H)ones

3-Aryl-1,2,4-triazin-5(2H)-ones 1a-c react with indoles 2a-c in trifluoroacetic acid/chloroform or in boiling butanol or acetic acid to give 3-aryl-6-(indolyl-3)-1,6-dihydro-1,2,4-triazin-5(2H)-ones 3a-g . Oxidation of the dihydro-1,2,4-triazin-5(2H)-ones 3a-e afforded 6-(indolyl-3)-1,2,4-triazin-5(2H)-ones 4a-e , products of nucleophilic substitution of hydrogen in 1a-c . Refluxing 1b with N-methylpyrrote 5b in butanol for an extended time resulted in the formation of 3-(4-chlorophenyl)-6-(1-meuiylpyrrolyl-2)-1,2,4-triazin-5(2H)-one 4h. The reaction of 1a-c with indoles 2a-c , pyrroles 5a,b , 1,3-dimethyl-2-phenylpyrazol-4-one (8) and aminothiazoles 9a,b in acetic anhydride affords the 1-acetyl-3-aryl-6-hetaryl-1,6-dihydro-1,2,4-triazin-5(2H)-ones 6a-s . Reaction of 1a-c with N-methyl-pyrrole 5b in acetic anhydride gives beside the 1:1 addition products 6h-k also the 2:1 addition products 7a-c .

Bis(oxazol-5(4H)-ones) were reacted with the appropriate aromatic or heterocyclic amines in glacial acetic acid in the presence of fused sodium acetate at 100°C for 24 hours to afford a novel series of bis(2-phenylimidazol-4-ones) and their related hybrids with benzo[d]thiazole and pyrimidine-2,4(1H,3H)-dione. Moreover, bis(oxazol-5(4H)-ones) reacted with (4-aminobenzoyl)glycine to afford bis[(4-(5-oxo-1H-imidazol-1-yl)benzoyl)glycine] derivatives followed by their reaction with anisaldehyde in acetic anhydride containing fused sodium acetate at 100°C for 12 hours to afford bis(5-oxo-1H-imidazol-1-yloxazol-5(4H)-one) hybrids. Furthermore, bis(3-(arylthiomethyl)benzaldehydes) were reacted with 2,2′-(terephthaloylbis(azanediyl))diacetic acid in acetic anhydride containing fused sodium acetate at 100°C for 12 hours to give benzo-fused macrocycles containing oxazolone subunits which reacted with appropriate aromatic amines in DMF and glacial acetic acid containing fused sodium acetate at 100°C for 24 hours to give benzo-fused macrocycles containing imidazolone subunits.

Reaction of 1-(3-bromo-2-oxopropyl)pyridazin-6-ones 1 and 2 with sodium azide at room temperature gave the corresponding 1-(3-azido-2-oxopropyl)pyridazin-6-ones 3 and 4 , whereas reaction of 1-(1-bromo-2-oxo-propyl)pyridazin-6-ones 5 and 6 with excess sodium azide afforded 4-azido-5-chloropyridazin-6-one 7 and 4,5-diazido-3-nitropyridazin-6-one 8 by dealkylation. Some 1-(2-hydroxypropyl)pyridazin-6-ones 9, 10, 11 were synthesized from the corresponding 1-(2-oxopropyl) derivatives 1, 2, 3 . 4,5-Dichloro-1-(2,3-dihydroxypropyl)-pyridazin-6-one 13 was also prepared from compound 9 via the corresponding 2,3-epoxypropyl derivative 12 .

Treatment of 3-amino-2-arylamino-3H-quinazolin-4-ones with aromatic carboxylic acids afforded 2,3-diaryl-3H-1,2,4-triazolo[5,1-b]quinazolin-9-ones which could also be synthesized by dehydrogenation of the corresponding dihydro derivatives. Reaction of 3-amino-2-arylamino-3H-quinazolin-4-ones with diethyl malonate and acetylacetone gave 3-aryl-3,9-dihydro-9-oxo-1,2,4-triazolo[5,1-b]quinazolin-2-yl-acetic acid ethyl ester and 3-aryl-2-methyl-3H-1,2,4-triazolo[5,1-b]quinazolin-9-ones, respectively. The latter compounds were also prepared via reaction with acetic anhydride, whereas acetylation with acetic anhydride in the presence of pyridine afforded the acetyl derivatives.

Treatment of N-(2-hydroxyphenyl)anthranilic acid with acetic anhydride, under refluxing conditions provided a simple method for the synthesis of 5H-henzoxazolo[3,2-a] quinolin-5-one (IVa), a heretofore unreported ring system. When propionic anhydride was used in the above reaction, 6-methyl-5H-benzoxazolo[3,2-a]quinolin-5-one (Va) was obtained. Other examples prepared in this fashion were IVb, IVc and Vb. Treatment of IVa with methoxyethylamine afforded 1,2-dihydro-1-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-2-(methoxyethylimino)-4-quinolinol (VII). A possible mechanism for the cyclization reaction is discussed.

When 7-chloro-3,4-dihydro-4-methyl-lH-1,4-benzodiazepin-2,5-dione (Ib), 3,4-dihydro-4-methyl-1H-1,4-benzodiazepin-2,5-dione (Id) and 3,4-dihydro-1-methyl-1H-1,4-benzodiazepin-2,5-dione (Ie) were allowed to react with acetic anhydride under conditions similar to those used for the rearrangement reaction, only acetylation occurred.     

Regioselective Synthesis of 2-Trimethylsilyl-4H-pyran-4-ones from 1-Ethoxy(hydroxy)-5-(trimethylsilyl)pentenynones

Exclusive formation of 5-aryl-2-trimethylsilyl-4H-pyran-4-ones is accomplished by a regioselective cyclization of 2-aryl-1-ethoxy(hydroxy)-5-(trimethylsilyl)pent-1-en-4-yn-3-ones. This cyclization occurs in a 6-endo-dig mode through addition to the β-atom of the TMS substituted triple bond. The reaction was found to be general for a range of ethoxyenynones upon heating in glacial acetic acid and for analogous hydroxyenynones in diphenyl ether. Plausible mechanistic explanation and possible post-modifications of resulting pyranones are offered.
