Synthesis of 2-[3′-(trifluoromethyl)anilino] -5-hydroxynicotinic acid

2-[3′-(Trifluoromethyl)anilino]-5-hydroxynicotinic acid (2) was synthesized by two routes: a) by direct hydroxylation of 2-[3′-(trifluoromethyl)anilino]nicotinie acid (1) ; and b) by the following sequence starting from 2-chloro-3-methyl-5-nitropyridine (3) via 5-amino-2-chloro-3-methylpyridine (4) , 2-ehloro-5-hydroxy-3-methylpyridine (6) , 5-acetoxy-2-chloro-3-methylpyridine (7) , 5-acetoxy-2-chloronicotinie acid (8) , and 2-chloro-5-hydroxynicotinic acid (9). The correlation of 2 with one of the metabolites of 1 has been accomplished, and the identities of both compounds have been proven.     

Improved method for synthesis of 7-amino-4-methylcoumarin

A new variant of the synthesis of 7-amino-4-methyl-coumarin from m-aminophenol via a three-step scheme is proposed. Acylation of m-aminophenyl with methoxycarbonyl chloride gave m-(N-methoxycarbonylamino)phenol, which was converted to 7-(N-methoxycarbonyl-amino)-4-methylcoumarin by condensation with acetoacetic ester in sulfuric acid. Heating of the coumarin with concentrated alkali leads to an intermediate, which, after acidification, is converted to 7-amino-4-methylcoumarin in high yield.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 3, pp. 312–314, March, 1990.     

Improved and rapid synthesis of new coumarinyl chalcone derivatives and their antiviral activity

Two closely structurally related coumarins, 4-hydroxy-8-isopropyl-5-methylcoumarin and 4-hydroxy-6-chloro-7-methylcoumarin were acylated at C-3 and further converted to the respective chalcones and two series of eighteen new compounds, which were evaluated for possible antiviral activity.     

Endo entry to the nortricyclyl-norbornenyl cation system: stereochemistry in the fragmentation of endo-5-norbornenyl-2-oxychlorocarbene

Fragmentation of (S)-endo-5-norbornenyl-2-oxychlorocarbene [(S)-8] in cyclohexane-d12 gives approximately 20% (S)-endo-2-chloro-5-norbornene [(S)-7] with approximately 50% ee, 65-70% (R)-exo-2-chloro-5-norbornene [(R)-4] with >95% ee, and approximately 12% (R)-3-nortricyclyl chloride [(R)-5] with approximately 22% ee. (Analogous stereochemical results were also obtained starting with the enantiomeric carbene (R)-8.) The (S)-8 to (S)-7 and (S)-8 to (R)-4 conversions are ascribed mainly to retention and inversion S(N)i transition states, respectively. These have been located by computational methods and are nearly isoenergetic. In more polar solvents (CDCl3 and CD3CN), the fragmentation of (S)-8 increasingly occurs via competitive ion pair pathways in which steroselectivity is diminished, and escape to the norbornenyl-nortricyclyl cation directs the products away from endo-2-chloro-5-norbornene toward exo-chloride 4 and nortricyclyl chloride 5.

Synthesis, and antitumor activity of some N1-(coumarin-7-yl) amidrazones and related congeners

A series of new N1-(coumarin-7-yl)amidrazones incorporating N-piperazines and related congeners were synthesized by reacting the hydrazonoyl chloride derived from 7-amino-4-methylcoumarin with the appropriate piperazines. The chemical structures of the newly prepared compounds were supported by elemental analyses, 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, and ESI-HRMS spectral data. The antitumor activity of the newly synthesized compounds was evaluated. Among all the compounds tested, 7-{2-[1-(4-(1-benzyl-2-ethyl-4-nitro-1H-imidazol-5-yl)piperazin-1-yl)-2-oxopropylidene]hydrazinyl}-4-methyl-2H-chromen-2-one (3n) was the most potent against MCF-7 and K562 cells, with IC?? values of 20.2 and 9.3 μM, respectively.     

Synthesis of some 7-substituted 3-chloro-3,4-dihydro-1-hydroxycarbostyrils by the reduction cyclization of α-chloro-β-(4-substituted-2-nitrophenyl)propionic acids

A new method was developed for the synthesis of some 7-substituted 3-chloro-3,4-dihydro-l-hydroxycarbostyrils 3c-g in which α-chloro-β-(4-substituted-2-nitrophenyl)propionic acids 2c-g were reductively cyclized by catalytic hydrogenation over platinum-on-carbon sulfided catalyst. In particular, this method was applied to α-chloro-β-(2-nitrophenyl)propionic acids bearing 4-methyl 2c , 4-ethyl 2d , 4-ethoxy 2e , 4-(n-butyl 2f and 4-phenyl 2g substituents to afford good yields of the corresponding 7-methyl 3c , 7-ethyl 3d , 7-ethoxy 3e , 7-(n-butyl) 3f , and 7-phenyl 3g substituted 3-chloro-3,4-dihydro-l-hydroxycarbostyrils. The various 4-substituted α-chloro-β-(2-nitrophenyl)propionic acids 2c-q were synthesized by reacting the in situ diazotized salts of the appropriate 4-substituted-2-nitroanilines in aqueous acetone with acrylic acid in the presence of cuprous chloride and hydrochloric acid. All compounds prepared in this study were characterized by microanalytical and ir and nmr spectral data.     

A synthesis of hydrothiopyran-3-ones. The intramolecular cyclization of allylthiopropionyl and propargylthioacetyl chlorides

Intramolecular cyclization of 2-(allylthio)propionyl chloride ( 3a ) effected by aluminum chloride gave two dihydrothiopyran-3-ones ( 5a,6a ) and 5-chloro-2-methyltetrahydrothiopyran-3-one ( 7a ). Treatment of propargylthioacetyl chloride ( 4a ) with aluminum chloride afforded 5-chloro-3,6-dihydro-2H-thiopyran-3-one ( 10a ). The cyclization reactions of related compounds were also studied.     

4-Chloro-3-(trifluoroacetyl)- and 4-chloro-3-(methoxalyl)coumarins as novel and efficient building blocks for the regioselective synthesis of 3,4-fused coumarins

4-Chloro-3-(trifluoroacetyl)- and 4-chloro-3-(methoxalyl)coumarins react with electron-rich aminoheterocycles, dimethyl 1,3-acetonedicarboxylate, hydrazines, alkyl thioglycolates, and methyl sarcosinate to give a variety of 3,4-heteroannulated coumarins. The starting materials were prepared by the reaction of 4-hydroxycoumarin with trifluoroacetic anhydride and methyl 2-chloro-2-oxoacetate in the presence of trimethylsilylchloride. An NMR study and X-ray crystallographic analysis are reported.     

Synthesis of NSC-341,964: An unexpected study on the stability of 2-aryl-4H-3,1-benzoxazin-4-ones

Resynthesis of NSC 341,964, which had been assigned structure 1 (1-[[3-(7-chloro-4-oxo-4H-3,1-benzoxazin-2-yl)phenyl]methyl]pyridinium chloride) was approached via 7-chloro-2-(3-methylphenyl)-4H-3,1-benzoxazin-4-one ( 5 ) obtained from 3-methylbenzoyl chloride ( 2 ) and 2-amino-4-chlorobenzoic acid ( 3 ) followed by dehydration in acetic anhydride. Radical bromination provided 6 which with pyridine afforded the bromide analog 7 of 1 . Ion exchange, however, gave ring-opened benzoic acid 8 rather than 1 . The original sample of NSC 341,964 also proved to be ring-opened material. However, 7 upon standing exhibited slow hydrolysis to 8 so that the structure of the original NSC 341,964 remains uncertain. A more direct route to compound 8 is also described.     

The preparation of 4- and 6-chloro-2-chloromethylpyridine

6-Chloro-2-chloromethylpyridine is prepared from 6-chloro-2-methylpyridine by a route in which the 2-Me substituent was successively converted to 2-acetoxymethyl, 2-hydroxymethyl and finally to the required 2-chloromethyl substituent. Attempts to simultaneously monochlorinate the Me group and reduce the N-oxide function of 6-chloro-2-methylpyridine-N-oxide with methanesulphonyl chloride and p-toluenesulphonyl chloride gave only very small yields of 6-chloro-2-chloromethyl-pyridine. 4-Chloro-2-chloromethylpyridine is prepared from 2-methylpyridine-N-oxide by nitration, followed by substitution of the 4-nitro group by chloro using conc HCl; side chain chlorination of the 2-Me group using p-toluenesulphonyl chloride yields 4-chloro-2-chloromethylpyridine. Phosphoryl chloride reacts with 2-chloromethylpyridine-N-oxide hydrochloride to yield only 14.4% of 4-chloro-2- chloromethylpyridine, together with 2-chloromethylpyridine (2.2%), 2-dichloromethylpyridine (41.6%) and 6-chloro-2- chloromethylpyridine (41.8%). Attempts to N-oxidise 2-chloromethylpyridine with peracids led to either 2-hydroxymethylpyridine (peracetic, m-chloroperbenzoic and performic acid) or no reaction (pertrifluoroacetic acid); none of the peracids led to any detectable N-oxidation.     

Synthesis of 1,8-, 1,6- and 3,6-dichloro-9H-thioxanthen-9-ones

Cyclization of 2-chloro-6-[(3-chlorophenyl)thio]benzoic acid ( 2 ) gave a mixture of 1,8-, 3 , and 1,6-dichloro-9H-thioxanthen-9-ones 4 . The mixture was converted to 1,8-diamino- 7 , and 1-amino-6-chloro-9H-thioxanthen-9-ones 8 , from which 3 and 4 were prepared separately, respectively. From a mixture of 4 and 3,6-dichloro-9H-thioxanthen-9-one ( 11 ) obtained by cyclizing 4-chloro-2-[(3-chlorophenyl)thio]benzoic acid ( 10 ) was separated 11 by conversion of 4 to 8 .     

Synthesis of 4H-1,3,4-oxadiazino[5,6-b]quinoxalines from 2-substituted quinoxaline 4-oxides

The reaction of 6-chloro-2-(1-methylhydrazino)quinoxaline 4-oxide 8 with acetic anhydride resulted in the intramolecular cyclization to give 8-chloro-2,4-dimethyl-4H-1,3,4-oxadiazino[5,6-b]quinoxaline 7a , while the reaction of compound 8 with acetic anhydride/pyridine or acetic anhydride/acetic acid afforded 3-(2,2-diacetyl-1-memymydrazmo)-7-chloro-2-oxo-1,2-dihydroquinoxaline 9 , effecting no intramolecular cyclization. The reaction of 2-(2-acetyl-1-methylhydrazino)-6-chloroquinoxaline 4-oxide 10a or 6-chloro-2-(1-methyl-2-trifluoroacetylhydrazino)quinoxaline 4-oxide 10b with phosphoryl chloride provided compound 7a or 8-chloro-4-memyl-2-trifluoromethyl-4H-1,3,4-oxadiazino[5,6-b]quinoxaline 7b , respectively. The reaction of compound 7b with phosphorus pentasulfide gave 7-chloro-3-(1-methyl-2-trifluoroacetylhydrazino)-2-thioxo-1,2-dihydroquinoxaline 11 , whose dehydration with sulfuric acid in acetic acid afforded 8-chloro-4-methyl-2-trifluoromemyl-4H-1,3,4-thiadiazino[5,6-b]quinoxaline 12 .     

Reaction of 2-(4-Arylthiazol-2-yl)-4-chloro-3-oxobutyronitriles with Secondary Aliphatic Amines

We have obtained 2-(4-arylthiazol-2-yl)-4-chloro-3-oxobutyronitriles by acylation of 4-aryl-2-cyanomethylthiazoles with -chloroacetyl chloride. We have studied their reaction with secondary aliphatic amines, leading to formation of 4-dialkylamino-2-(4-arylthiazol-2-yl)-3-oxobutyronitriles, and also intramolecular alkylation with formation of 3-aryl-7-cyano-6(5H)-oxopyrrolo[2,1-b]thiazoles. We have determined some aspects of the tautomerism of the synthesized compounds.     

An unusual reaction of 2-(2-pyridylcarbonyl)- and 2-(2-quinolylcarbonyl)benzoyl chlorides with p-nitroaniline

In the reaction of 2-(2-pyridylcarbonyl)benzoyl chloride, which exists in the form of 6,11-dioxo-6,11dihydrobenzo[b]quinolizinium chloride, with p-nitroaniline, 2-(4-nitrophenylimino)-6, 11-dihydro-2H-benzo-[b]quinolizine-6, I I -dione is unexpectedly formed. When it reacts with water or methanol there is an opening of the quinolizine ring and aromatization of the quinoid fragment with the formation of 2-[4-(4nitrophenylamino)-2-pyridylcarbonyl]benzoic acid or its methyl ester. Under the action of antimony pentachloride, 2- 2-quinolylcarbonyl)benzoylchloride-3 (2-quinolyl)-3-chloro- 1, 3-dihydrobenzo[c]furan-1 -one -is converted to 3-(2-quinolyl)-1,3-dihydrobenzo[c]furan-1-on-3-ylium hexachlorantimonate, which undergoes isomerizing recyclization upon heating to 7,12-dioxo-7,12-dihydrobenzo[b/ hexachloroantimonate. The latter enters into an analogous reaction with p-nitroaniline, thereby forming 5-(4-nitrophenylimino)-7,12-dihydro-5H-dibenzo[b,f]quinolizine-7,2-dione.Riga Technical University, Riga LV-1048.

Synthesis and Chemical Behaviour of 4, 5-Dideoxy-4, 5-Epithio-2, 3-DI-0-Methanesulfonyl-L-Xylose Dimethyl Acetal

ABSTRACT

Selective substitution of the primary sulfonate group in 2, 3, 4, 5-tetra-0-methanesulfonyl-D-arabinose dimethyl acetal (1) gives 5-S-acetyl-2, 3, 4-tri-0-methanesulfonyl--5-thio-D-arabinose dimethyl acetal (2) which is further converted into the title compound (3). Reductive desul-furization of 3 afforded deoxy dimethyl acetal derivatives 5 and 6 in a low yield. Unsaturated monosaccharide derivative 7 was obtained as the only reaction product from 3 with triphenylphosphine. Catalytic hydrogenation of 7 gave dideoxy-sugar 6 in a satisfactory yield. Finally, epi-sulfide 3 with acetyl chloride afforded 4-chloro-4-deoxy derivative 4, which can be recycled into the starting 3.

Researches on 2,1,3-thia-and selenadiazoles

Chloromethylation of 4- and 5-chlorobenzo-2,1,3-thiadiazoles with dichlorodimethyl ether in the presence of anhydrous aluminum chloride gives 4-chloro-7-chloromethyl- and 5-chloro-4-chloromethylbenzo-2, 1,3-thiadiazoles respectively. Reductive scission followed by treatment with thionyl chloride converts them to 4-chloro-7-methyl- and 5-chloro-4-methylbenzo-2,1,3-thiadiazoles; Chlorination of the latter gives 4-methyl-5,7-dichlorobenzo-2,1,3-thiadiazole. Replacement of the chlorine in the chloromethyl groups gives 4-chloro-7-hydrosymethyl-,5-chloro-4-hydroxymethyl-, 4-chloro-7-cyanomethyl-,4-chloro-7-carboxymethyl-,5-chloro-4-carboxymethylbenzo-2,1,3-thiadiazoles. Reductive scission of 4-chlorobenzo-2,1,3-thidiazole followed by treatment with sodium selenite gives 4-chlorobenzo-2,1,3-selenadiazole.Part XLIII see [1].

Functionally substituted sulfur-containing compounds. 9. Reactions of 2-[(organylthio)methyl]oxiranes with acetic anhydride and acetyl chloride

Reaction of 2-[(organylthio)methyl]oxiranes with acetic anhydride gives a mixture of 3-(organylthio)-1,2-diacetoxypropane and 2-(organylthio)-1,3-diacetoxypropane, and with acetyl chloride a mixture of 2-chloro-3-(organylthio)-1-acetoxypropane and 3-chloro-2-(organylthio)-1-acetoxypropane. In both cases, the ratio of the isomers depends on the nature of the organylthio group and on the nature of the electrophile.For previous communication, see [1].Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 7, pp. 1574–1378, July, 1991.
