STUDIES IN SIGMATROPIC REARRANGEMENT: THERMAL REARRANGEMENT OF 3-PROP-2′-YNYLOXYBENZOTHIAPYRAN-4-ONES

ABSTRACT

3-Prop-2′-ynyloxybenzothiapyran-4-one derivatives (3a–d) were prepared from 3-hydroxy benzothiapyran-4-one (1) and prop-2-ynylic halides (2) in 70–90% yield. The ethers (3a–d) were then heated in refluxing chlorobenzene to give furo[3,2-b]benzothiapyran-9-one derivatives (4a–d) in 87–95% yields. 2-Chloro-2-methylbut-3-yne (2e) on reaction with 3-hydroxybenzothiapyran-4-one (1a) directly afforded 2-isopropyl furo[3,2-b]benzothiapyran-9-one (4e) in 70% yield.     

A simple and efficient approach for the synthesis of a novel class aliphatic 1,3,4-thiadiazol-2(3H)-one derivatives via intramolecular nucleophilic substitution reaction

In this study, we synthesized a new series of substituted aliphatic 1,3,4-thiadiazol-2(3H)-one derivatives (6-24) in yields ranging from 42 to 70% with an interesting mechanism that involves internal nucleophilic substitution followed by an S_N2-type nucleophilic substitution. First, 1-(4-chlorophenyl)-2-((5-methyl-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-yl)thio)ethanone (3) was synthesized from the reaction of 5-methyl-1,3,4-thiadiazole-2-thiol (1) with 2-bromo-1-(4-chlorophenyl)ethanone (2) in the presence of potassium hydroxide. Then, 1-(4-chlorophenyl)-2-((5-methyl-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-yl)thio)ethanol (4) was synthesized by a reduction reaction of this compound using NaBH₄. Finally, 5-methyl-3-alkyl-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2(3H)-one derivatives (6-24), which are the target compounds, were synthesized from the reaction of this compound (4), which is a secondary alcohol with various alkyl halides (5a-n) in the presence of sodium hydride (NaH). This study presents an interesting reaction mechanism related to the synthesis of aliphatic 1,3,4-thiadiazol-2(3H)-one derivatives that is not recorded in the literature.     

Synthesis and calming activity of helicid derivatives containing the 3,4-dihydropyrimidin-2(<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>)-one and 3,4-dihydropyrimidine-2(<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>)-thione moiety

A series of novel helicid derivatives containing 3,4-dihydropyrimidin-2(1H)-one and 3,4-dihydropyrimidine2(1H)-thione moiety (3a–3f and 4a–4f) were synthesized starting from helicid. The structure of the new compounds were characterized by ¹H NMR, IR and HR-MS spectra. The sedative-hypnotic activities of the target compounds were evaluated using the test of spontaneous locomotor activity in mice. All of the derivatives produced moderate to high activities; in particular, compound 4a presented the most potent sedative-hypnotic effect in comparison to the other derivatives, and derivatives 3a, 3c, 3d, 3e and 3f also showed potent activities.     

Syntheses,spectroscopic and crystallographic characterizations of 4-nitrobenzyloxy derivatives and benzofurans from <Emphasis Type="Italic">ortho</Emphasis>-substituted benzaldehydes and 4-nitrobenzyl bromide

A series of benzyloxybenzaldehyde derivatives (1–3) were prepared by the reactions of 4-nitrobenzyl bromide with 4-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzaldehyde (vanillin), 2-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzaldehyde (o-vanillin) and 2-hydroxy-4-methoxybenzaldehyde. When the reaction time is quite long, benzofuran derivatives (4 and 5) were obtained by the reactions of ortho-hydroxyaldehydes with the 4-nitrobenzyl bromide. Condensation reactions among the three benzyloxybenzaldehyde derivatives (1–3) with 2-aminomethylfuran (furfurylamine) yielded the new imine compounds (6–8). The structures of these aldehydes (1–3), benzofuran derivatives (4 and 5) and imine compounds (6–8) were confirmed on the basis of elemental analyses, IR, ¹H NMR and ¹³C NMR and mass spectroscopy. The solid-state structures of compounds 4–6 were determined by single-crystal X-ray crystallography.     

Synthesis of Some Novel 5-(Arylidene)-2-imino-3(pyridin-2-yl)thiazolidin-4-one Derivatives

Treatment of 2-aminopyridine ( 1 ) with chloroacetyl chloride in dry benzene gave 2-chloro-N-(pyridin-2-yl)acetamide ( 3 ), which on further reaction with potassium thiocyanate gave 2-imino-3-(pyridin-2-yl)thiazolidin-4-one ( 4 ) as an intermediate compound for the synthesis of pyridin-2-yl substituted 2-imino-thiazolidine-4-one derivatives. Cyclocondensation reaction of ( 4 ) with a series of aromatic aldehydes gave 5-arylidene derivatives of pyridin-2-yl substituted 2-imino-thiazolidine-4-ones 5a–j . ¹ H and ¹³C NMR spectroscopy, as well as elemental analyses, were used for the identification of these new compounds.

Regioselective benzoylations of 2-deoxy-2-[(2, 2-diethoxycarbonylvinyl) amino] -α-D-glucopyranose (1) yielded 6-mono-O- (2) 3, 6-di-O- (3), 4, 6-di-O- (4) and 1, 3, 6-tri-O-benzoyl- (5) derivatives. The fully benzoylated compound 6 was the major product when excess of benzoyl chloride was used. The di-O-acetyl derivatives (7 and 8) of 3 and 4 respectively were also prepared. The structures of 2-8 are based on analytical and/or spectroscopic data. Some data on MS fragmentation pathways of the partially protected compounds 2 and 4 are also reported.     

Synthesis of fused 1,2,4-triazines as potential antimicrobial and antitumor agents

5-Benzylidene-3-(p-chlorophenyl)-2-aminothiocarbonyl-1,2,4-triazine (2) was prepared via condensation of oxazolinone (1) with thiosemicarbazide. Fused 1,2,4-triazine derivatives (3, 4 and 9) were synthesized from the reaction of compound 2 with ω-bromomethyl aryl ketones, ethyl chloroacetate, and acetic anhydride. Treatment of 4 with acetic anhydride and aromatic aldehydes yielded the corresponding acetyl, diacetyl derivatives (6 and 7) and 7-benzylidene-5-(p-chlorophenyl)-4-thioxo-3-arylidene-1,2,4-triazino [2,1-a]-1,2,4-triazine-1,8-diones (8). The electron impact mass spectra of both the above series of compounds have also been recorded and their fragmentation pattern is discussed. All synthesized fused 1,2,4-triazine derivatives were primary in vitro screened for their antimicrobial and antitumor activity.

     

Antimicrobial and antiquorum-sensing activity of Ricinus communis extracts and ricinine derivatives

Ricinine (1), a known major alkaloid in Ricinus communis plant, was used as a starting compound for the synthesis of six ricinine derivatives; two new and four known compounds. The new derivatives; 3-amino-5-methyl-1H-pyrazolo[4,3-c]pyridin-4(5H)-one (2), and 3-amino-5-methyl-1-(phenylsulfonyl)-1H-pyrazolo[4,3-c]pyridin-4(5H)-one (3), as well as the previously prepared derivatives (4–7) were subjected for antimicrobial and antiquorum-sensing evaluation in comparison to different R. communis extracts. Acetyl ricininic acid derivative (5) showed the highest antimicrobial activity among all tested derivatives against Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeuroginosa and Candida albicans. However, compound 7 (4-methoxy-1-methyl-2-oxo-1,2-dihydropyridine-3-carboxamide) showed the highest antiquorum-sensing activity among all tested compounds and extracts. These findings proved the usefulness of ricinine as a good scaffold for the synthesis of new antimicrobial and antiquorum-sensing derivatives in spite of its poor contribution to the antimicrobial activity of the plant extracts.

In addition, their antibacterial activities were screened against some human pathogenic microorganisms.     

Synthesis and amino acid extraction abilities of chiral calix[4]arene triamides containing amino alcohol units

Herein the synthesis and extraction abilities of new d-/l-phenylalaninol substituted p-tert-butylcalix[4]arene triamide derivatives (3 and 4) towards amino acids are reported. These compounds (3 and 4) have been easily synthesized via aminolysis of p-tert-butylcalix[4]arene trimethylester (2) with d-/l-phenylalaninol in methanol-toluen solvent system at one step. The extraction properties of the prepared chiral calix[4]arene triamide derivatives (3 and 4) towards some selected amino acid methylesters are studied by liquid–liquid extraction. Results show that these chiral calix[4]arene triamide derivatives (3 and 4) exhibited a good affinity towards all amino acid species without any remarkably discrimination.

Hydrogen bonding or deprotonation: on fluoride ion fluorescence sensing with 1,1′-bi-2-naphthol derivatives

The isolation and structural characterisation of two ionic complexes (S)-3 and(S)-4 based on fluoride ion-mediated deprotonation of 1,1′-bi-2-naphthol (BINOL) derivatives (S)-1 and (S)-2 have been carried out for the first time. X-ray crystallographic study showed that the deprotonated forms (S)-3 and (S)-4 adopt remarkably different molecular geometries, bond parameters as well as molecular packing modes from their neutral analogs, in agreement with their significant fluorescence changes upon the addition of fluoride ion, giving insights into the actual mechanism of fluoride ion fluorescence sensing. The deprotonation–protonation processes in two BINOL derivatives were also investigated by both fluorescence measurements and X-ray structural analyses. Such chiral basic compounds can be promising organocatalysts for asymmetric reactions.     

Synthesis and Antibacterial Activity of Substituted Thiosemicarbazides and of 1,3,4-Thiadiazole or 1,2,4-Triazole Derivatives

The synthesized series of new thiosemicarbazide derivatives ( 1 , 6–10 ) in reactions with carbon disulphide produced, according to the reaction conditions, the dithioacids ( 4 , 30 ) or the 5-substituted 1,3,4-thiadiazolo-2-thiol derivatives ( 2 , 27 ). The dithioacids were cyclized, in the reaction with hydrazine, into the 4-ami-no-1,2,4-triazolo-2-thiol derivatives ( 5 , 31 ). One of these compounds ( 31 ) was transformed into the 1,2,4-triazolo-1,3,4-thiadiazine derivative ( 33 ). The compo-unds 6–9 were also exposed to the condensation with aldehydes. 4-phenylpipera-zinocarbothiohydrazide ( 6 ) was exposed to the action of isothiocyanates, which gave the compounds 16–20 , and these cyclized to the 1,3,4-thiadiazoloamino derivatives ( 21–23 ).

The susceptibility of aerobic and anaerobic bacteria to some of the new derivatives were tested. The anaerobes were the most susceptible at concentrations in ranges less than 6.2 to 100 μg/mL to derivative: 9 (64% were susceptible), 1 , 13 (for 60%), and 7 (for 56%).
