Acylation of N-substituted exo-2-hydroxy-5-oxo-4-oxatricyclo[4.2.1.0^3,7]nonane-endo-9-carboxamides on heating in boiling glacial acetic acid gave the corresponding trans-diacetoxy imides of the norbornane series. The effect of the reaction time on the product composition was studied in the reaction with exo-2-hydroxy-N-(4-methylphenyl)-5-oxo-4-oxatricyclo[4.2.1.0^3,7]nonane-endo-9-carboxamide.

Selective method for the preparation of isomeric N-alkyl and N-aryl-3(5)-amino-5(3)-hydroxy-1H-pyrazole-1-carboxamides

As part of a program to develop novel mechanism based skeletal muscle relaxants we identified 5-amino-3-hydroxy-1H-pyrazole-1-carboxamide (1) as a potential structural lead. This highly functionalized pyrazole was prepared via a published procedure [1] (Scheme 1, R¹ = R¹ = H), which utilized 3,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrazole-1-carboxamide as an aminocarbonyl transfer reagent, to give with cyanoacethydrazide the semicarbazide intermediate 6 . Base catalyzed cyclization of 6 afforded the initial lead compound. This reaction scheme was extended to the synthesis of additional 4-alkyl- and 4-aryl-5-amino-3-hydroxy-1H-pyrazole-1-carboxamides (Table 1).     

Preparation of 3-Aryl-4-(5-ARYL-Δ2-1,2,4-Oxadiazolin-3-YL)Sydnones and their Conversion into 3-ARYL-4-(5-ARYL-1,2,4-Oxadiazol-3-YL)Sydnones

3-Aryl-4-(5-aryl-Δ²-1,2,4-oxadiazolin-3-yl)sydnones (5) were synthesized in high yields by the reaction of 3-arylsydnone-4-carboxamide oximes (prepared from the corresponding 3-arylsydnone-4-carbonitriles) with aromatic aldehydes in the presence of acid catalysts. No reaction occurred when aliphatic aldehydes were used. The oxadiazolin-3-ylsydnones (5) were easily converted into the corresponding 3-aryl-4-(5-aryl-1,2,4-oxadiazol-3-yl)sydnones by N-bromosuccinimide oxidation. The 3-arylsydnone-4-carbonitrile oxides were synthesized in good yields by N-bromosuccinimide oxidation of the corresponding 3-arylsydnone-4-carboxaldehyde oximes.

The total assignment of their ¹H and ¹³C nmr spectra was determined by the concerted use of two-dimensional nmr methods.     

Exceptional Products of the Desulfurization of N,2-Diaryl-5-(arylimino)- 2,5-dihydro-4-nitroisothiazol-3-amines

The desulfurization of several N,2-diaryl-5-(arylimino)-2,5-dihydro-4-nitroisothiazol-3-amines 5 with Ph₃P led to complex mixtures of products in low yields. For instance, quinoxaline-2-carboxamide 1-oxides of type 6 (Scheme 2) and, in some cases, also 3-nitroquinolines of type 7 (Scheme 5) were isolated. By the desulfurization of the substituted derivatives 5b – e , a rearrangement of the intermediates yielded 6 and 7 with a different substitution pattern from that expected from the starting materials (Scheme 3). The additional formation of two isomeric 1,2,5-oxadiazole-3-carboxamides 8 was observed only in the case of 5d (R¹=R²=F) (Scheme 6). Under the same reaction conditions, the major product of the desulfurization of 5c was the quinoxaline-2-carboxamide 1-oxide 9 (Scheme 7). Reaction mechanisms involving intermediate ketene imines and O transfer from the NO₂ group to the neighboring ketene imine are proposed. The structures of 6a , 6e , 6k , 7b , and 8d were established by X-ray crystallography, while the structure of 9 was elucidated by 2D-NMR spectroscopy and corroborated by X-ray crystallography.

Alkylation of compound 2 with methyl iodide followed by cyclization of the resulting methyl 2-[methyl(methylsulfonyl)amino]-6-(trifluoromethyl)-3-pyridinecarboxylate ( 3 ) yielded 1-methyl-7-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-pyrido[2,3-c][1,2]thiazin-4(3H)-one 2,2-dioxide ( 4 ). The reaction of compound 4 with α,2,4-trichlorotoluene, methyl bromopropionate, methyl iodide, 3-trifluoromethylphenyl isocyanate, phenyl isocyanate and 2,4-dichloro-5-(2-propynyloxy)phenyl isothiocyanate gave, respectively, 4-[(2,4-dichlorophenyl)methoxy]-1-methyl-7-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-pyrido[2,3-c][1,2]thiazine 2,2-dioxide ( 5 ), methyl 2-[[1-methyl-2,2-dioxido-7-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-pyrido[2,3-c][1,2]thiazin-4-yl]oxy]propanoate ( 6 ), 1,3,3-trimethyl-7-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-pyrido[2,3-c][1,2]thiazin-4(3H)-one 2,2-dioxide ( 7 ), 4-hydroxy-1-methyl-7-(trifluoromethyl)-N-[3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-1H-pyrido[2,3-c][1,2]thiazine-3-carboxamide 2,2-dioxide ( 8 ), 4-hydroxy-1-methyl-7-(trifluoromethyl)-N-phenyl-1H-pyrido[2,3-c][1,2]thiazine-3-carboxamide 2,2-dioxide ( 9 ) and N-[2,4-dichloro-5-(2-propynyloxy)phenyl]-4-hydroxy-1-methyl-7-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-pyrido[2,3-c][1,2] thiazine-3-carboxamide 2,2-dioxide ( 10 ).     

Reactions of 3,4-Dichloro-N-R-maleimides with Substituted 2-Thiouracils

Reactions of 3,4-dichloro-N-R-maleimides with substituted thiouracils at 40°C gave a 1:1 mixture of isomers of pyrrolothiazolopyrimidinetriones. Under conditions of thermodynamic control (100°C, 5 h) only pyrrolo[3',4':4,5]thiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidine-4,6,8-triones were formed, hydrolysis of which followed by decarboxylation gave 5-oxo-5H-thiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidine-2-carboxamide. The structure of N²-phenyl-6-methyl-5-oxo-5H-thiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidine-2-carboxamide was confirmed by X-ray crystallography. Analogous cyclization of 3,4-dichloro-N-R-maleimides with 2-thioxoquinazol-4-one also gave a mixture of two isomers which were successfully separated by fractional crystallization.

Cyclopropanation of N-Substituted 2-Oxochromene- and 6-Bromo-2-oxochromene-3-carboxamides with Zinc Enolates Derived from 1-Aryl-2,2-dibromoalkanones

Zinc enolates derived from 1-aryl-2,2-dibromoalkanones react with N-cyclohexyl-2-oxochromene-3-carboxamides to give N-cyclohexyl-1-alkyl-1-aroyl-2-oxo-1a,7b-dihydrocyclopropa[c]chromene-1a-carboxamides mainly as cis isomers with respect to the substituents in positions 1 and 1a. Reactions of the same zinc enolates with N-benzyl-2-oxochromene-3-carboxamide and N-benzyl-6-bromo-2-oxochromene-3-carboxamide lead to formation of 1-aryl-2-benzyl- and 1-aryl-2-benzyl-6-bromo-1-hydroxy-9c-alkyl-1,2,9b,9c-tetrahydro-5-oxa-2-azacyclopenta[2,3]cyclopropa[1,2-a]naphthalene-3,4-diones.

Triple-Helix Formation by Pyrimidine Oligonucleotides Containing Nonnatural Nucleosides with Extended Aromatic Nucleobases: Intercalation from the major groove as a method for recognizing C·G and T · A base pairs

The sequence-specific recognition of double-helical DNA by oligonucleotide-directed triple helix formation is limited primarily to purine tracts. To identify potential lead compounds which are able to extend the sequence repertoire of triple helical complexes, we designed two carbocyclic nucleosides with nucleobases attached via amide bonds. N⁵-[(1R, 2S, 3R, 4R)-3-hydroxy-4-(hydroxymethyl)-2-methoxycyclopentyl]-2-{[(1H-pyrrol-2-yl)carbonyl]-amino}thiazole-5-carboxamide ( L1 ) and 2-benzamido-N⁵-[(1R, 2S, 3R, 4R)-3-hydroxy-4-(hydroxymethyl)-2-methoxycyclopentyl]thiazole-5-carboxamide ( L2 ) were synthesized and incorporated into pyrimidine oligonucleotides. The 2-(trimethylsilyl)ethoxymethyl (SEM) protecting group for the 1H-pyrrole NH was found to be compatible with DNA solid-phase synthesis of pyrimidine Oligonucleotides. By quantitative DNase I footprinting analysis, both nonnatural nucleosides L1 and L2 showed preferential binding of pyrimidine over purine bases: L1 / 2 ·(C·G) ≈ L1 / 2 ·(T · A) > L1 / 2 ·(G·C) ≈ L1 / 2 ·(A · T). Comparison with the previously reported nonnatural nucleosides with extended aromatic nucleobases 1-(2-deoxy-β-D -ribofuranosyl)-4-(3-benzamidophenyl)-imidazole ( D3 ) and N⁴-[6-(benzamido)pyridin-2-yl]-2′-deoxycytidine (^bz M ) suggests that the observed binding selectivity C · G ≈ T · A > G · C ≈ A · T for the nucleoside analogs L1 , L2 , D3 , and ^bz M is derived from sequence-specific intercalation with preferential stacking of their nucleobases over pyrimidine · purine Watson-Crick base pairs.
