Convenient Synthesis of 7-Bromo-tetrahydro-1,5-benzodiazepin-2-ones

Treatment of 5-acyl-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-1,5-benzodiazepin-2-ones with bromine in the presence of the sulfuric acid afforded products to be brominated exclusively in the aromatic ring at position 7.     

Oxidation of nitrogen-containing heterocycles using biocatalysts

A method for stereospecific hydroxylation of 1,2-dihydro-3H-1,4-benzodiazepin-2-ones using free and immobilized cells of actinomycetes as biocatalysts was developed. The hydroxylation under the action of yeast results in the formation of racemates. Actinomyces do not hydroxylate quinazolinones, quinoxalinones, and tetrahydro-1,5-benzodiazepin-2-ones; derivatives of 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-1,5-benzodiazocin-2-ones are transformed into 2-[N-(3-acetylaminopropionyl)amino]benzophenones.

Syntheses of New 2.3.4.5-tetrahydro-1H-1-3-benzodiazepinones

Heating (2-aminophenyl)acetamides with formaldehyde in ethanol or diethylene glycol dimethylether yields 2.3.4.5-tetrahydro-1H-1,3-benzodiazepine-4-ones; 2.3.4.5-tetrahydro-1H-1.3-benzodiazepine-2-ones are formed by reaction of phosgene with -(2-aminophenyl)ethylamines. The (2-nitrophenyl)acetamides needed as intermediate compounds were synthesized from the corresponding nitrobenzoic acids byArndt—Eistert reaction.

When 4-methyl-7-nitro-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-1,5-benzodiazepin-2-one were reacted with phosphorus pentasulfide, the corresponding benzodiazepine-2-thione and its thiol tautomer were formed, which via the 2-methylmercapto derivative were converted to 4-(2-acetylhydrazino)-2-methyl-8-nitro-2,3-dihydro-1H-1,5-benzodiazepine.     

Synthesis of 1h-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro- 1,5 -benzodiazepin-2-ones by reductive cyclization of 3- (o-nitrophenylamino)propionic acids

A new synthesis of 1H-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1,5-benzodiazepin-2-ones (I) by the reductive cyclization of o-nitro derivatives of N-phenyl--alanine is described. It is more convenient to use the amide of acrylic acid rather than acrylic acid itself, its nitrile, or ester for the synthesis of I from the appropriate o-phenylenediamines.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 7, pp. 987–991, July, 1971.

Synthesis of 8-Aryl[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-d][1,2,4]triazin-5(6H)-ones by S HN Reactions

A new procedure has been proposed for the synthesis of 8-aryl[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-d][1,2,4]-triazin-5(6H)-ones by reaction of 6-aryl-1,2,4-triazin-3(2H)-ones with hydrazides derived from aliphatic, aromatic, and heterocyclic carboxylic acids. The process invloves nucleophilic substitution of hydrogen (S_N ^H)in aryltriazinones, oxidative closure of azole ring, and Dimroth rearrangement.     

5,6,7,8-Tetrafluoro-4-hydroxycoumarin derivatives in reactions with o-phenylenediamine

The reactions of 5,6,7,8-tetrafluoro-4-hydroxycoumarin derivatives with o-phenylenediamine occur with pyrone heterocycle cleavage and formation of substituted benzodiazepin-2-ones. 5,6,7,8-Tetrafluoro-4-hydroxycoumarin affords 4-(3,4,5,6-tetrafluoro-2-hydroxyphenyl)-2,3-dihydro-1H-1,5-benzodiazepin-2-one, 3-acetimidoyl-5,6,7,8-tetrafluoro-4-hydroxycoumarin produces 3-(3,4,5,6-tetrafluoro-2-hydroxybenzoyl)-4-methyl-1,2-dihydro-1H-1,5-benzodiazepin-2-one, and 3-acetyl-5,6,7,8-tetrafluoro-4-hydroxycoumarin yields both these heterocycles.     

Amide-based atropisomers in tachykinin NK1-receptor antagonists: synthesis and antagonistic activity of axially chiral N-benzylcarboxamide derivatives of 2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-6H-pyrido[2,3-b][1,5]oxazocin-6-one

A series of novel N-benzylcarboxamide derivatives of bicyclic compounds, 3,4-dihydropyrido[3,2-f][1,4]oxazepin-5(2H)-one and 2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-6H-pyrido[2,3-b][1,5]oxazocin-6-one, were synthesized by cyclization of N-benzyl-2-chloro-N-(2-hydroxyethyl)- [and -(3-hydroxypropyl)-] nicotinamides, respectively. Atropisomerism was observed in 5-[3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)benzyl]-7-phenyl-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-6H-pyrido[2,3-b][1,5]oxazocin-6-ones due to steric hindrance of the carboxamide moiety and restriction of its rotation. Cyclization of N-[3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)benzyl]-2-chloro-N-[(2S)-3-hydroxy-2-methylpropyl]-5-methyl-4-phenylnicotinamide gave (3S)-5-[3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)benzyl]-3,8-dimethyl-7-phenyl-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-6H-pyrido[2,3b][1,5]oxazocin-6-one, which exists predominantly in the thermodynamically stable aR-conformer in CDCl₃. This compound showed excellent NK₁-antagonistic activity with IC₅₀ value (in vitro inhibition of [¹²⁵I]-Bolton-Hunter-substance P binding in human IM-9 cells) of 0.47 nM, which is ca. 200-fold more potent than that of its enantiomer, indicating that the atropisomer chirality affects NK₁-receptor recognition.     

Tetrahydropyridoazepines and tetrahydropyridoazepinones from the corresponding dihydroquinolones

The p-toluenesulfonate of 7,8-dihydro-5(6H)quinoloneoxime( 3 ) was subjected of a Beckmann rearràngement. The resulting 2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-pyrido[3,2-b]azepin-2-one ( 4 ) was reduced with lithium aluminum hydride affording 2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-pyrido[3,2-b] azepine ( 5 ). 5,6-l)ihydro-8(7H)quinolone ( 7 ), obtained by oxidation of 5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-8-quinolinol ( 6 ), was converted into the p-toluenesulfonate of 5,6-dihydro-8(7H)quinolone oxitne ( 9 ). Similarly the latter compound could be rearranged into 2,3,4,5-letrahydro-1H-pyrido [2,3-b] azepin-2-one ( 10 ) which on reduction produced 2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-pyrido [2,3-b] azepine ( 11 ).     

Tetrahydro‐1,5‐benzoxazepines and tetrahydro‐1H‐1,5‐benzodiazepines by a tandem reduction‐reductive amination reaction

A tandem reduction‐reductive amination reaction has been applied to the synthesis of (±)‐4‐alkyl‐2,3,4,5‐tetrahydro‐1,5‐benzoxazepines and (±)‐4‐alkyl‐1‐benzoyl‐2,3,4,5‐tetrahydro‐1H‐1,5‐benzodiazepines. The nitro aldehydes and ketones required for 1,5‐benzoxazepine ring closures were prepared by nucleophilic aromatic substitution of the alkoxides from several 3‐buten‐1‐ol derivatives with 2‐fluoro‐1‐nitrobenzene followed by ozonolysis. Precursors for the 1,5‐benzodiazepines were prepared by similar addition of N‐(3‐butenyl)benzamide anions to 2‐fluoro‐1‐nitrobenzene followed by ozonolysis. Catalytic hydrogenation of the nitro carbonyl compounds using 5% palladium‐on‐carbon in methanol then gave the target heterocycles by a tandem reduction‐reductive amination sequence. The 1,5‐benzoxazepines were isolated in high yield following chromatographic purification; the 1,5‐benzodiazepines were isolated as solids directly from the hydrogenation mixture and possessed differentiated functionality on the two nitrogen atoms.

Electrophilic intramolecular cyclization of functional derivatives of unsaturated compounds: V. Cyclization of anilides of styrylacetic acids in polyphosphoric acid

Anilides of styrylacetic acids at heating in polyphosphoric acid undergo an intramolecular cyclization giving 1,5-diarylpyrrolidin-2-ones, 5-aryl-1,3,4,5-tetrahydro-2H-benzazepin-2-ones, and 5-(3-fluorophenyl) dihydrofuran-2(3H)-one, where the ratio of the products depends on the character of the aromatic substituents in the amide and styrene fragments of the substrate.     

Reaction of dichloroketene and sulfene with N,N-disubstituted 6-amino-methylene-b,7,8,9 -tetrahydro-5H-benzocyclohepten-5-ones. Synthesis of 6-(2,2-Dichloroethylidene)-b,7,8,9-tetrahydro-5H-benzocyclohepten-5-one and of 5H-benzo[3,4]cyclohepta[2,l-b]pyran and 5H-Benzo[3,4]cyclo-hepta[1,2-e]-1,2-oxathiin derivatives

The 1,4-cycloaddition of dichloroketene to N,N-disubstituted 6-aminomethylene-b,7,8,9-tetra-hydro-5H-benzocyclohepten-5-ones afforded N,N-disubstituted 4-amino-3,3-dichloro-3,4,6,7-tetrahydro-5H-benzo[3,4]cyclohepta[2,l-b]pyran-2-ones only in the case of aromatic or strong hindering aliphatic N-substitution. The adducts gave N,N-disubstituted 4-amino-3-chloro-b,7-dihydro-5H-benzo[3,4]cyclohepta[2,l-b]pyran-2-ones by dehydrochlorination with collidine. Upon chromatography on neutral alumina, two products were instead isolated in the case of usual aliphatic N-substitution (diethylamine, piperidine), namely 6-(2,2-dichloroethylidene)-6,7,8,9-tetrahydro-5H-benzocyclohepten-5-one and the dehydrochlorinated 2-pyrone; this latter was the sole product in the case of pyrrolidine substitution. The 1,4-cycloaddition of sulfene occurred readily to give N,N-disubstituted 4-amino-3,4,6,7-tetrahydro-5H-benzo[3,4]cyclohepta-[1,2-e]-1,2-oxathiin 2,2-dioxidesin the case of both aliphatic and partially aromatic N-substitution.     

Nuclear magnetic resonance spectra of psychotherapeutic agents. V*—conformational analysis of 1,3,4,5-tetrahydro-2H-1,5-benzodiazepin-2-ones

The conformational analysis of biologically active lofendazam (7-chloro-5-phenyl-1,3,4,5-tetrahydro-2H-1,5-benzodiazepin-2-one) is carried out by means of lanthanide shift reagent assisted ¹H NMR spectroscopy: the lanthanide induced shift computer simulation suggests that in deuteriochloroform the heterocyclic ring of lofendazam assumes a cycloheptene-like chair conformation, where 1-N moves away from trigonal stereochemistry to a very flattened pyramidal structure. At room temperature the conformational equilibrium is markedly shifted (85%) towards the conformer showing pseudoaxial H-1 and 5-Ph. The remarkable influence of steric requirements in controlling conformation, and the importance of 3- and/or 4-methyl groups in hindering the ring inversion at room temperature, have been verified by conformational analysis of suitable analogous 1,3,4,5-tetraydro-2H-1,5-benzodiazepin-2-ones.
