Synthesis of a new compound family, 1-aryl-3H-pyrrolo[2,1-d][1,2,5]triazepin-4(5H)-ones

Representatives of a new family, 1-aryl-3H-pyrrolo[2,1-d][1,2,5]triazepin-4(5H)-ones have been synthesized at our laboratory as bioisosters of biologically active 1-aryl-2,3-benzodiazepine-4-ones. The efficient synthetic route described applies the synthesis of 2-(2-aroylpyrrol-1-yl)acyl hydrazides followed by ring closure under acidic conditions. The N(3)-unsubstituted title compounds thus obtained can optionally be N-alkylated rendering the preparation of variously substituted derivatives possible. Scope and limitations of the new protocol and some interesting side reactions are also discussed in detail.     

Solid-phase synthesis of 3-alkyl-8-arylamino-1H-imidazo[4,5-g]quinazolin-2(3H)-thiones and 3-alkyl-8-arylamino-1H-imidazo[4,5-g]quinazolin-2(3H)-ones

New synthetic methods for 2,3-diarylacridin-9(10H)-one and (E)-2-aryl-4-styrylfuro[3,2-c]quinoline derivatives

Two new synthetic methodologies for 2,3-diarylacridin-9(10H)-ones were developed. The first one involves the Heck reaction of (E)-3-iodo-2-styrylquinolin-4(1H)-ones with styrenes, leading to (E,E)-2,3-distyrylquinolin-4(1H)-ones, which when heated at high temperatures cyclize in two different ways. Electrocyclization and further in situ oxidation leads to 2,3-diarylacridin-9(10H)-ones, while tautomerization, cyclization by nucleophilic addition and further in situ oxidation produces (E)-2-aryl-4-styrylfuro[3,2-c]quinolines as the main compound. The second method gives only 2,3-diaryl-10-methylacridin-9(10H)-ones and involves the Heck reaction of (E)-3-iodo-1-methyl-2-styrylquinolin-4(1H)-ones and styrenes, leading to (E,E)-1-methyl-2,3-distyrylquinolin-4(1H)-ones, which when heated at high temperatures cyclize through electrocyclization and oxidation processes affording the expected compounds. The structures of all new compounds were established by extensive NMR studies.     

Synthesis and reactions of 1-hydroxy-9,9a-dihydro-1H-imidazo[1,2-a]indol-2-(3H)-ones

1-Hydroxy-9,9a-dihydro-1H-imidazo[1,2-a]indol-2(3H)-ones, as a new type of azaheterocyclic hydroxamic acids, have been synthesized regioselectively from 1-carbamoylmethyl- or 1-(methoxycarbonyl)methyl-2,3,3-trimethyl-3H-indolium salts by reaction with hydroxylamine in the presence of a strong base. The alkylation and reduction with sodium borohydride of these novel heterocycles have been investigated. When treated with protic acids 1-hydroxy- or 1-alkoxy-9,9a-dihydro-1H-imidazo[1,2-a]indol-2(3H)-ones underwent ring opening of the imidazolidine to afford 1-[2-(hydroxyamino)-2-oxoethyl]-2,3,3-trimethyl-3H-indolium salts. The structural assignments are based on extensive ¹H, ¹³C and ¹⁵N NMR spectroscopic studies and single crystal X-ray analyses.     

Flash vacuum pyrolysis of 2,2-dioxo-1H,3H-pyrrolo[1,2-c]thiazoles and 2-vinyl-1H-pyrroles

The flash vacuum pyrolysis of new 1,1-dimethyl- and 1-methyl-1H,3H-pyrrolo[1,2-c]thiazole-2,2-dioxides gave penta-substituted 2-vinyl-1H-pyrroles via sigmatropic [1,8]-H shift of the corresponding azafulvenium methide intermediates. In some cases these 1H-pyrroles underwent rearrangement to 2-allyl-1H-pyrroles. Di-substituted 2-vinylpyrroles have also been prepared and their reactivity studied. Under FVP N-benzyl-pyrrol-2-ylpropenoates were converted into 3H-pyrrolizin-3-ones. On the other hand, microwave-assisted reaction of 1-benzyl-2-vinyl-1H-pyrrole gave a 4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-1H-indole derivative.

(E)-3-Halo-2-styryl-4H-chromen-4-ones: synthesis and transformation to novel pyrazoles

New methods for the synthesis of (E)-3-halo-2-styryl-4H-chromen-4-ones were established. The reaction of these compounds with hydrazine hydrate afforded new and unexpected 3(5)-aryl-5(3)-[2-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-2-hydrazonoethyl]-1H-pyrazoles, which upon acid hydrolysis gave 3(5)-aryl-5(3)-[2-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-2-oxoethyl]-1H-pyrazoles. The reaction mechanisms for these transformations, involving 1,6- followed by 1,4-conjugate additions, are discussed and the structures of all new compounds were established by NMR studies.     

Reactions of zinc enolates derived from 1-aryl-2,2-di-bromoalkanones with 2-acyl-3H-benzo[f]chromen-3-ones, 6-bromo-2-oxochromene-3-carboxamides, and 3-oxo-3H-benzo-[f]chromene-2-carboxamides

Zinc enolates derived from substituted 1-aryl-2,2-dibromoalkanones reacted with 2-acyl-3H-benzo-[f]chromen-3-ones to give 1-alkyl-1-aroyl-1a-acyl-1a, 9c-dihydro-1H-3-oxacyclopropa[c]phenanthren-2-ones which were formed as a single stereoisomer. Reactions of the same zinc enolates with 6-bromo-2-oxo-chromene-3-carboxamides (piperidides and morpholides) afforded 1-aroyl-6-bromo-1-alkyl-1a-piperidino-(morpholino)carbonyl-1a,7b-dihydrocyclopropa[c]chromen-2-ones with high stereoselectivity. Likewise, 1-benzoyl-1-methyl-1a-morpholinocarbonyl-1a, 9c-dihydro-1H-3-oxacyclopropa[c]phenanthren-2-one was obtained by reac-tion with 3-oxo-3H-benzo[f]chromene-2-carboxylic acid morpholide.Translated from Zhurnal Organicheskoi Khimii, Vol. 40, No. 9, 2004, pp. 1399–1404.Original Russian Text Copyright © 2004 by V.

A convenient access to furo[3,2-c]pyridin-6(5H)-ones by the reaction of 5-iodo-4-methoxy-2-pyridones with terminal alkynes under microwave-enhanced Sonogashira conditions

N-Alkyl-3-aryl-5-iodo-4-methoxypyridin-2(1H)-ones readily undergo sequential acetylide cross-coupling, demethylation, and furan annulation under classical Sonogashira reaction conditions to furnish 7-arylfuro[3,2-c]pyridin-4(5H)-ones, a class of hitherto unknown compounds, in a one-pot operation. Microwave irradiation was found to significantly reduce reaction times and to allow lower catalysts and reagent loadings.     

Preparation of 2-aminosubstituted 3H-imidazo[4,5-c]quinolin-4(5H)-ones by palladium-assisted internal biaryl coupling reaction

Representatives of the 3H-imidazo[4,5-c]quinolin-4(5H)-ones have shown interesting biological activity. We have found 2-aminosubstituted 3H-imidazo[4,5-c]quinolin-4(5H)-one as a potent dipeptidyl peptidase 4 inhibitor. However effective synthesis of this nucleus with various substituents at the 6-9-positions has not been reported. We report herein the development of a novel and efficient synthesis of 2-aminosubstituted 3H-imidazo[4,5-c]quinolin-4(5H)-ones by palladium-assisted internal biaryl coupling reaction. Our optimization of the reaction conditions revealed that the most important factors for this reaction are use of silver carbonate as a base and high reaction temperature.

A concise synthesis of some new classes of heterocycles (4-aryl-11-oxo-1,2,3,11-tetrahydro-1,3a-diaza-cyclopenta[a]anthracen-6-carbonitriles and 5-aryl-12-oxo-1,3,4,12-tetrahydro-2H-1,4a-diazabenzo[a]anthracene-7-carbonitriles) has been developed by the ring transformation of suitably functionalized 2H-pyran-2-one with α-oxoketene cyclic aminals to intermediates (8-aroyl-5-aryl-2,3-dihydro-1H-imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine-7-ylidene)-acetonitriles and (9-aroyl-6-aryl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyrido[1,2-a]pyrimidin-8-ylidene)-acetonitriles) followed by their photocyclization either in CHCl₃ or acetonitrile. This reaction was further explored for the synthesis of methyl 4-aryl-11-oxo-1,2,3,11-tetrahydro-1,3a,9-triaza-cyclopenta[a]anthracene-6-carboxylate, 4-aryl-11-oxo-1,2,3,11-tetrahydro-1,3a,9-triaza-cyclopenta[a]anthracene-6-carbonitriles, 5-aryl-12-oxo-1,3,4,12-tetrahydro-2H-1,4a,10-triazabenzo[a]anthracene-7-carbonitriles, 4-aryl-10-oxo-1,2,3,10-tetrahydro-9-thia-1,3a-diazadicyclopenta[a,g]naphthalene-6-carbonitriles and 5-aryl-11-oxo-1,3,4,11-tetrahydro-2H-10-thia-1,4a-diazacyclopenta[b]phenanthrene-7-carbonitriles from the similar reactions.     

One-pot synthesis of quinazolin-4(3H)-ones and fused quinazolinones by a palladium-catalyzed domino process

An efficient one-pot synthesis of quinazolin-4(3H)-ones, benzoimidazo[2,1-b]quinazolin-12(6H)-ones and imidazo[2,1-b]quinazolin-5(1H)-ones via a palladium-catalyzed domino process has been developed. The Pd-catalyzed reactions of 2-azidobenzamides 1 with isocyanides 2 produced quinazolin-4(3H)-ones 4 at room temperature by a domino Pd-catalyzed cross-coupling/carbodiimide-mediated cyclization. However, as 2-azido-N-(2-bromophenyl)benzamides 1 were used under heating condition in the presence of Cs₂CO₃, the benzoimidazo[2,1-b]quinazolin-12(6H)-ones 5 were directly obtained by twice Pd-catalyzed domino cyclization. A domino reogioselective 5-exo-dig intramolecular cyclization reaction of alkynyl-containing azides 6 with isocyanides 2 generated imidazo[2,1-b]quinazolin-5(1H)-ones 9 in 74–93% yields in the presence of catalyst Pd(PPh₃)₄ and K₂CO₃.     

Synthesis of 2-(trifluoromethyl)-1,2-dihydro-4H-thieno[2,3-c]chromen-4-ones and 2-(trifluoromethyl)-4H-thieno[2,3-c]chromen-4-ones from 2-trifluoromethylchromones and ethyl mercaptoacetate

The redox reaction of 2-trifluoromethylchromones with ethyl mercaptoacetate in the presence of triethylamine results in the formation of 1,2-dihydrothieno[2,3-c]chromen-4-ones and diethyl 3,4-dithiadipate in high yields. Oxidation of the first compounds with nitrogen dioxide gave 1,2-dihydrothieno[2,3-c]chromen-3,4-diones which were converted into thieno[2,3-c]chromen-4-ones.     

The Thorpe-Ziegler-type reaction of 3-cyanopyridine-2(1H)-thiones with Biginelli 6-bromomethyl-3,4-dihydropyrimidin-2(1H)-ones: cascade assembling of tetra- and pentacyclic heterocyclic scaffolds

3-Cyanopyridine-2(1H)-thiones have been shown to react with Biginelli-type ethyl 4-aryl-6-(bromomethyl)-2-oxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyrimidine-5-carboxylates upon heating in DMF giving rise to ethyl 4-aryl-6-{[(3-cyanopyridin-2-yl)thio]methyl}-2-oxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyrimidine-5-carboxylates. The latter upon treatment with an excess of NaH or t-BuOK in boiling DMF undergo a tandem Thorpe-Ziegler-type heterocyclization to give pyrido[3″,2″:4′,5′]thieno[2′,3′:5,6]pyrido[4,3-d]pyrimidine derivatives in good yields. Selected compounds were tested for antibacterial and antifungal activity.

A straightforward, two-step synthesis of fluoro substituted chromeno[2,3-c]pyrazol- and [1]benzothieno[2′,3′:5,6]pyrano[2,3-c]pyrazol-4(1H)-ones, respectively, is presented. Hence, treatment of 1-substituted or 1,3-disubstituted 2-pyrazolin-5-ones with fluoro substituted 2-fluorobenzoyl chlorides or 3-chloro-6-fluoro-1-benzothiophene-2-carbonyl chloride using calcium hydroxide in refluxing 1,4-dioxane gave the corresponding 4-aroylpyrazol-5-ols, which were cyclized into the fused ring systems. 5-Fluorochromeno[2,3-c]pyrazol-4(1H)-one was obtained upon treatment of the 1-(4-methoxybenzyl) protected congener with trifluoroacetic acid. Treatment of 5-fluorochromeno[2,3-c]pyrazol-4(1H)-ones with methylhydrazine afforded novel tetracyclic ring systems such as 2-methyl-7-phenyl-2,7-dihydropyrazolo[4′,3′:5,6]pyrano[4,3,2-cd]indazole. Detailed NMR spectroscopic investigations (¹H, ¹³C, ¹⁵N, ¹⁹F) with the obtained compounds were undertaken.

5-Hydroxy uracils or 4-hydroxy[1]benzopyran-2-ones were refluxed with 2-bromobenzyl bromides in acetone in the presence of anhydrous potassium carbonate to afford a number of 5-(2′-bromobenzyloxy) pyrimidine-2,4-dione (80-92%) or 4-(2′-bromobenzyloxy) benzopyran-7-ones (70-82%) respectively. These were then refluxed with tri-n-butyltin chloride and sodium cyanoborohydride in the presence of a catalytic amount of azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN) for 3-4 h to give 1H,3H,6H [2]benzopyrano[4,3-d]pyrimidine-2,4-diones (75-85%) or 12H-benzopyrano[3,2-c][1]benzopyran-5-ones (70-85%) respectively.
