Ring Opening of 2‐(Benzylamino)‐2H‐1,4‐benzoxazin‐3(4H)‐ones and 2‐Bromo‐2H‐1,4‐benzoxazin‐3(4H)‐ones

Substituted 2‐(benzylamino)‐2H‐1,4‐benzoxazin‐3(4H)‐ones are unstable under alkaline and acidic conditions, undergoing opening of the benzoxazinone ring. 2‐Bromo‐2H‐1,4‐benzoxazin‐3(4H)‐ones show similar degradation under alkaline conditions, while replacement of Br at C(2) to give 2‐hydroxy‐2H‐1,4‐benzoxazin‐3(4H)‐ones was observed only under mild alkaline conditions. Mechanisms of ring opening and degradation to 2‐aminophenol derivatives are proposed.     

Ultrasound‐Promoted Catalyst‐Free Synthesis of 2,2′‐(1,4‐Phenylene)bis[1‐acetyl‐1,2‐dihydro‐4H‐3,1‐benzoxazin‐4‐one] Derivatives

A convenient approach to 2,2′‐(1,4‐phenylene)bis[1‐acetyl‐1,2‐dihydro‐4H‐3,1‐benzoxazin‐4‐one] derivatives 4 was explored employing the one‐pot condensation of anthranilic acids (=2‐aminobenzoic acids) 1 with terephthalaldehyde (=benzene‐1,4‐dicarboxaldehyde; 2 ) under ultrasound‐irradiation conditions (Scheme 1). The reactions proceeded smoothly in the presence of excess Ac₂O in the absence of any other catalyst and solvent to afford the respective products in high yields.

A series of novel quinazolin‐4(3H)‐one derivatives were efficiently synthesized starting from isatoic anhydride. First, reaction of isatoic anhydride and amines in H₂O at room temperature afforded 2‐aminobenzamides. Then, CuBr/Et₃N promoted reaction of 2‐aminobenzamides and different aryl isothiocyanates in DMF at 80° afforded the title compounds in good yield.

Different metal perchlorates were screened to catalyze the three‐component reaction of anthranilic acid, triethyl orthoformate and amines to afford quinazolin‐4(3H)‐ones in solvent‐free conditions. Ni(ClO₄)₂ or Zn(ClO₄)₂ was demonstrated to be efficient to catalyze the reaction.     

Tandem Hydroformylation/Reductive Amination of 3‐Allyl‐2‐methylquinazolin‐4(3H)‐one

The 3‐allyl‐2‐methylquinazolin‐4(3H)‐one ( 1 ), a model functionalized terminal olefin, was submitted to hydroformylation and reductive amination under optimized reaction conditions. The catalytic carbonylation of 1 in the presence of Rh catalysts complexed with phosphorus ligands under different reaction conditions afforded a mixture of 2‐methyl‐4‐oxoquinazoline‐3(4H)‐butanal ( 2 ) and α,2‐dimethyl‐4‐oxoquinazoline‐3(4H)‐propanal ( 3 ) as products of ‘linear’ and ‘branched’ hydroformylation, respectively (Scheme 2). The hydroaminomethylation of quinazolinone 1 with arylhydrazine derivatives gave the expected mixture of [(arylhydrazinyl)alkyl]quinazolinones 5 and 6 , besides a small amount of 2 and 3 (Scheme 3). The tandem hydroformylation/reductive amination reaction of 1 with different amines gave the quinazolinone derivatives 7 – 10 . Compound 10 was used to prepare the chalcones 11a and 11b and pyrazoloquinazolinones 12a and 12b (Scheme 4).

One‐Pot Synthesis of N,N‐Disubstituted (Z)‐4‐(Halomethylidene)‐4H‐3,1‐benzothiazin‐2‐amines from 2‐(2,2‐Dihaloethenyl)phenyl Isothiocyanates and Secondary Amines

We have developed a one‐pot procedure for the preparation of N,N‐disubstituted (Z)‐4‐(halomethylidene)‐4H‐3,1‐benzothiazin‐2‐amines 3 from 2‐(2,2‐dihaloethenyl)phenyl isothiocyanates 1 , easily accessible from known 2‐(2,2‐dihaloethenyl)benzenamines by a three‐step sequence, and secondary amines.

Two‐Step Synthesis of 1,3‐Disubstituted 3,4‐Dihydro‐4‐thioxoquinazolin‐2(1H)‐ones from 1‐Bromo‐2‐fluorobenzenes

An efficient synthesis of 3‐alkyl‐3,4‐dihydro‐4‐thioxobenzoquinazolin‐2(1H)‐ones 3 has been accomplished in two steps and in satisfactory yields from 1‐bromo‐2‐fluorobenzenes 1 . Thus, the reaction of 1‐fluoro‐2‐lithiobenzenes, generated by the Br/Li exchange between 1 and BuLi, with alkyl isothiocyanates, gives N‐alkyl‐2‐fluorobenzothioamides 2 , which, in turn, react with a series of isocyanates in the presence of NaH to give the desired products 3 .     

Silica‐bonded S‐sulfonic Acid as a Recyclable Catalyst for Synthesis of 2,3‐Dihydroquinazolin‐4(1H)‐ones

The reaction work‐up is simple and the catalyst is easily separated from the products by filtration. The heterogeneous catalyst was recycled for ten runs upon the condensation reaction of isatoic anhydride and 4‐chlorobenzaldehyde with ammonium acetate without losing its catalytic activity.     

A Novel One‐Pot Synthesis of Fully Substituted Thiophen‐2(3H)‐ones Using N,N‐Disubstituted Thioamides

Synthesis and characterization of copper(II) Schiff base complex supported on Fe3O4 magnetic nanoparticles: a recyclable catalyst for the one‐pot synthesis of 2,3‐dihydroquinazolin‐4(1H)‐ones

Fe₃O₄–Schiff base of Cu(II) is found to be a recyclable and heterogeneous catalyst for the rapid and efficient synthesis of various 2,3‐dihydroquinazolin‐4(1H)‐one derivatives from the two‐component condensation of 2‐aminobenzamide and an aldehyde. This reaction is simple, green and cost‐effective. Separation and recycling can also be easily done by magnetic decantation of the Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles with an external magnet. The prepared catalyst was characterized using thermogravimetry, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, vibrating sample magnetometry, inductively coupled plasma analysis, X‐ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy.

Photocyclodimerization of 5‐Methyl‐2H‐pyran‐3(6H)‐one

The structures of the main products resulting from photocyclodimerization of the title compound 2 and of other 3‐methyl‐substituted ‘oxacyclohex‐2‐en‐1‐ones’ (=dihydropyranones) were determined by X‐ray crystallography. In connection, the ¹³C‐NMR chemical shifts of the cyclobutane C‐atoms of these dimers allow a clear differentiation between head‐to‐head and head‐to‐tail regioisomers, all structurally related to those of isophorone ( 1 ).

Several quinazoline‐2(1H),4(3H)‐dione derivatives were synthesized from pyrimidine‐2(1H),4(3H)‐dione derivative.     

Synthesis of Macrocyclic Lactones via Ring Transformation of 4‐(ω‐Hydroxyalkyl)‐1,3‐oxazol‐5(4H)‐ones

The synthesis of α‐benzamido‐α‐benzyl lactones 23 of various ring size was achieved either via ‘direct amide cyclization’ by treatment of 2‐benzamido‐2‐benzyl‐ω‐hydroxy‐N,N‐dimethylalkanamides 21 in toluene at 90 – 110° with HCl gas or by ‘ring transformation’ of 4‐benzyl‐4‐(ω‐hydroxyalkyl)‐2‐phenyl‐1,3‐oxazol‐5(4H)‐ones under the same conditions. The precursors were obtained by C‐alkylations of 4‐benzyl‐2‐phenyl‐1,3‐oxazol‐5(4H)‐one ( 15 ) with THP‐ or TBDMS‐protected ω‐hydroxyalkyl iodides. Ring opening of the THP‐protected oxazolones by treatment with Me₂NH followed by deprotection of the OH group gave the diamides 21 , whereas deprotection of the TBDMS series of oxazolones 25 with TBAF followed by treatment with HCl gas led to the corresponding lactones 23 in a one‐pot reaction.

This new protocol has the advantages of high yields (Table), and convenient operation. The structures of these coumarin (=2H‐1‐benzopyran‐2‐one) derivatives, which are important compounds in organic chemistry, were confirmed spectroscopically (IR, ¹H‐ and ¹³C‐NMR, and EI‐MS) and by elemental analyses. A plausible mechanism for this reaction is proposed (Scheme 2).     

Synthesis,Characterization and Crystal Structure of Some Novel 1‐Aryl‐2‐Thioxo‐2,3‐Dihydro‐1H‐Quinazolin‐4‐Ones

The base catalyzed intramolecular nucleophilic cyclization of 1‐(2‐haloaroyl)‐3‐aryl thioureas ( 1a‐i ), in the presence of DMF afforded the 1‐aryl‐2‐thioxo‐2,3‐dihydro‐1H‐quinazolin‐4‐ones ( 2a‐i ). The structures were confirmed by spectroscopic data, elemental analyses and in case of the 2c by single crystal X‐ray diffraction data. The mechanistic studies support an intramolecular nucleophilic substitution (S_NAr mechanism) rather than intramolecular aromatic substitution (S_RN1 mechanism).
