Efficient Synthesis of 2‐Aminothiazole‐4‐phenyl‐5‐acetamides via the Open Chain Tautomers of γ‐Keto Amides

A simple and efficient method is described for the synthesis of new functionalized 2‐aminothiazoles, the 2‐aminothiazole‐4‐phenyl‐5‐acetamides 5, in 67–96% yields based on an application of the Hantzsch synthesis. The method involves the reaction of thiourea with 3‐benzoyl‐3‐bromo‐propionamides 4 prepared from the corresponding 3‐benzoylpropionamides 3. The tautomeric structure of the γ‐keto amides 3 and 6 is directly related to the present study, because 2‐aminothiazoles 5 are readily obtained from the corresponding open chain γ‐keto amides 3.     

New Approach to 4‐ and 5‐Aminopyrazole Derivatives

3‐Oxo‐3‐(pyrrol‐2‐yl)‐propanenitrile 1 coupled with aromatic diazonium salts to yield the corresponding 2‐arylhydrazones 2a–c. The latter products reacted with chloroacetonitrile and ethyl chloroacetate to yield 4‐aminopyrazole derivatives 5a–f. Reaction of 2 with hydrazine hydrate led to formation of 5‐amino‐4‐arylazopyrazole 6a–c. Compound 1 reacted also with trichloroacetonitrile to yield enamine 7, which in turn reacted with hydrazine hydrate to yield 5‐amino‐3‐(pyrrol‐2‐yl)‐pyrazole‐4‐carbonitrile 8.

2‐Phenyl‐1,1,3‐tricyano‐3‐bromopropene 1 reacts with the aromatic amines 2a–f and 6a–c to afford the N‐substituted pyrroles 4a–d, the pyrrolo[1,2‐a]quinazoline derivatives 5a, b, and the diaza‐as‐indacene derivatives 7a–c and 8a–c, presumably via elimination of hydrogen bromide followed by cyclization of the formed acyclic intermediates. All structures are confirmed by analytical and spectral data.     

Synthesis of 2,3‐Dihydro‐4H‐furo[3,2‐c] chromen‐4‐ones and 2,3‐Dihydronaphtho[2,3‐b]furan‐4,9‐diones by the Radical Cyclizations of Hydroxyenones with Electron-Rich Alkenes using Manganese(III) Acetate

We have obtained dihydrofurans 3a–j in the radical cyclization of 4‐hydroxycoumarin 1a and 2‐hydroxy‐1,4‐naphtoquinone 1b with electron rich alkenes 2a–i by manganese(III) acetate. Methods A and B, which have different molar ratios were studied comparatively in these reactions, and we observed that method B (molar ratio 2:1:3) gave the best results. Treatment of 4‐hydroxycoumarin 1a and electron rich alkenes 2a–e gave 2,3‐dihydro‐4H‐furo[3,2‐c]chromen‐4‐ones 3a–e in 36–86% yields by the method B. Under the same conditions, the reactions of 2‐hydroxy‐1,4‐naphtaquinone 1b with conjugated alkenes 2b and 2f–i afforded 2,3‐dihydronaphtho[2,3‐b]furan‐4,9‐diones 3f–j in an excellent yields.

Prenylation of coumarins that have hydroxyl or alkoxyl or halo substitution (1a–1i) using 2‐methyl‐3‐butene‐2‐ol in the presence of boron trifluoride formed 3‐prenylcoumarins (2a–2d).     

Glycosylation of 4‐Aryl‐1‐thioxo[1,2,4] triazolo[4,3‐a] quinazolin‐5(4H)‐one

Reaction of 4‐aryl‐1‐thioxo [1,2,4] triazolo [4,3‐a] quinazolin‐5 (4H)‐ones (2a,b) with acetylated glycosyl bromides 3a–c under alkaline conditions afforded the corresponding S‐glycoside derivatives 4, 5 and N‐glycoside derivatives 6, 7. Oxidation of S‐glycosyl derivatives 4, 5 with m‐chloroperbenzoic acid yielded the corresponding sulphones 8, 9, whereas the N‐glycosyl derivatives 6, 7 yielded 1‐oxo derivatives 10, 11. However their O‐deacetylation with sodium methoxide in methanol caused cleavage of the S‐glycosyl residue and gave N ²‐glycosylated analogues 12, 13, 14 and 15.

One‐Pot Synthesis of 2‐(1‐Alkyl/aralkyl‐1H‐benzimidazole‐2‐yl)‐quinoxaline Derivatives using Molecular Iodine

The title compound (5) has been prepared in one pot by refluxing 1‐(1‐alkyl/aralkyl‐1H‐benzimidazole‐2‐yl)‐ethanone (1) with substituted o‐phenylenediamine (2) in ethanol in the presence of iodine. Alternatively, 5 could also be prepared by treating 2‐bromo‐1‐(1‐ alkyl/aralkyl‐1H‐benzimidazole‐2‐yl)‐ethanone (3A) with 2 in refluxing ethanol. The formation of 5 from 1 and 2 probably occurs through the intermediacy of 3B (i.e., 3, X=I) and 4.

Ethyl α‐cyano‐β‐(1‐chloro‐3,4‐dihydronaphthalene‐2‐yl) acrylate (2) was prepared by the Knoevenagel condensation of 1 with ethyl cyanoacetate. Compound 2 was used as the key intermediate to prepare Schiff bases (3a, b), benzo[c]acridine (4), naphthyl thiopyrimidine (5), and pyrazolo[2,3‐a]‐benzo[h]quinazoline (6) derivatives through its reaction with hydrazines, p‐ansidine, thiourea, and 3,5‐diamino‐4‐phenylazopyrazole, respectively. Base‐catalyzed cyclocondensation of 1 with hippuric acid gives oxazolone derivative (7). Reaction of compound 7 with aniline gave imidazolone derivative (9). Treatment of compound 1 with different types of diaminopyrazoles gave 6,7‐dihydro‐pyrazolo[2,3‐a]‐benzo[h]quinazoline (10–13) derivatives. The multicomponent reaction of compound 1 with pyrazolone and malononitrile in the presence of ammonium acetate furnished pyrazolo[3,4‐b]‐benzo[h]quinoline (14) while in the presence of piperidine afforded benzo[h]chromeno[2,3‐c]pyrazole derivative 15.

Compound 5a is a new azaphenothiazine derivative and was obtained from hitherto unknown 2‐acetylamino‐3‐fluorophenyl‐3′‐nitro‐2′‐pyridylsulfide 4a via Smiles rearrangement. Compound 4a is required for the synthesis and has been prepared starting from 2‐amino‐3‐fluorobenzenethiol 1a in three steps.     

Synthesis of 1,1‐Dimethyl‐4‐indanol Derivatives

The synthesis of 1,1‐dimethyl‐4‐indanols (3a,b) has been achieved by intramolecular Friedel–Crafts cyclization of 2‐(3‐methyl‐2‐butenyl)phenols (5a,b) or 1‐methoxy‐2‐(3‐methyl‐2‐butenyl)benzenes (6a,b) followed by demethylation, respectively.It was found that the solvent was critical for the formation of different products in the intramolecular Friedel–Crafts reactions of 6. The unexpected product 4‐methoxy‐1,1,6,6‐tetramethyl‐as‐hydrindacene (11) was obtained from the Friedel–Crafts reactions of 6a, and its structure was confirmed by X‐ray diffraction analysis. The key intermediates 5a,b were prepared by ortho‐alkenylation of phenols with 1‐bromo‐3‐methyl‐2‐butene, and the reaction temperature exerted an obvious impact on the yield of 2‐(3‐methyl‐2‐butenyl)phenol (5a).

A convenient three‐step protocol preparation of the ortho‐alkylated (long‐chain substituent with terminal methylcarbonyl or acetoacetate moiety) aromatic carboxylic acids 15 or 16 from benzoic acids anilides 10 was developed, which exploited the reductive alkylation of phthalides 13 with dimethyl‐6‐methylene‐4‐(trimethoxysiloxy)‐1,3‐diox‐4‐ene (9) as a key step.     

Cycloaddition of Acyclic Nitrones with Phenyl Isocyanate: Synthesis and Ring‐Opening Reactions of 1,2,4‐Oxadiazolidin‐5‐ones

The cycloaddition of nitrones with unsubstituted or electron‐donating substituents on the C‐phenyl 1a,c,f with phenyl isocyanate proceeds smoothly for a short time with high yields to give the corresponding 1,2,4‐oxadiazolidinone 2, and 1b,d,e with electron‐withdrawing substituents gave the corresponding oxadiazolidinone in moderate yields after prolonged heating. Oxadiazolidinones 2a,c,f undergo diethylamine‐induced fragmentation for a short time to give the corresponding Schiff bases, and oxadiazolidinones 2b,d,e remain unchanged in these conditions. Prolonged heating of 2d,e in the presence of diethylamine led to complex mixtures. In the case of 2b the corresponding amidine was the main product of the reaction.
