Abstract

A facile one-pot synthesis of ethyl 5-methyl-4,7-dihydrotetrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine, 5-tert-butyl-4,7-dihydrotetrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine, 6,6-dimethyl-5,6,7,9-tetrahydrotetrazolo[5,1-b]quinazolin-8(4H)-one and 5,6,7,9-tetrahydrotetrazolo[5,1-b]quinazolin-8(4H)-one derivatives were described via a three-component reaction of aldehyde, 5-aminotetrazole and diketones in PEG-400 under microwave irradiation at 110?°C for 30?min. A wide range of diketones such as ethylacetoacetate, tert-butyl acetoacetate, 5,5-dimethylcyclohexane-1,3-dione and 1,3-cyclohexanedione were utilized to carry out the synthesis of different dihydrotetrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidines and tetrahydrotetrazolo[1,5-a]quinazolinones. This method has the advantage of green protocol, operational simplicity, high yields, recyclability of the solvent and involves isolation of the final product without column purification. The scope of this reaction tolerates with aromatic, heteroaromatic and alicyclic aldehydes.     

Design and synthesis of novel tricycles based on 4H-benzo[1,4]thiazin-3-one and 1,1-dioxo-1,4-dihydro-2H-1lambda6-benzo[1,4]thiazin-3-one

This paper reports our recent efforts to develop novel tricycles based on 4H-benzo[1,4]thiazin-3-one ( 2) and 1,1-dioxo-1,4-dihydro-2H-1lambda(6)-benzo[1,4]thiazin-3-one (3) using 1,5-difluoro-2,4-dinitrobenzene (1). All of these tricycles integrate two privileged structures into one skeleton, including 3,8-dihydro-5-thia-1,3,8-triaza-cyclopenta[b]naphthalene-7-one (4, 10, 12), 5,5-dioxo-3,5,6,8-tetrahydro-5lambda(6)-thia-1,3,8-triaza-cyclopenta[b]naphthalene-7-one (5, 11), 3,8-dihydro-5-thia-1,2,3,8-tetraaza-cyclopenta[b]naphthalene-7-one (6), 5,5-dioxo-3,5,6,8-tetrahydro-5lambda(6)-thia-1,2,3,8-tetraaza-cyclopenta[b]naphthalene-7-one (7), 3,8-dihydro-1H-5-thia-1,3,8-triaza-cyclopenta[b]naphthalene-2,7-dione (8), and 5,5-dioxo-3,5,6,8-tetrahydro-1H-5lambda(6)-thia-1,3,8-triaza-cyclopenta[b]naphthalene-2,7-dione (9). A typical library of scaffold 5 was synthesized in a parallel solution-phase manner and analyzed by HPLC-UV-MS or HPLC-UV-ELSD method.     

Highly diastereoselective approach to novel phenylindolizidinols via benzothieno analogues of tylophorine based on reductive desulfurization of benzo[b]thiophene

Chiral tetra- and hexahydro[1]benzothieno[2,3-f]indolizines 3–5, 9, and 11 were synthesized easily from benzo[b]thiophene-2-carboxaldehyde (1) and (S)-glutamic acid (2) in good overall yields and both high enantio- and diastereomeric purities. Applying a diastereoselective reductive desulfurization of benzo[b]thiophene followed by lactam reduction, epimeric alcohols 4a and 4b were readily converted into (7R or S,8aS)-phenylindolizidinols 6a,c. During these studies, the reduction of benzothienoindolizines 3–5, 9, 11, and 12, was investigated and the results obtained are also discussed.
