Synthesis of α-(aminomethylene)-9H-purine-6-acetic acid derivatives

α-(Aminornethylene)-9H-purine-6-acetamide ( 3a ) and the corresponding ethyl acetate 9 have been synthesized by catalytic hydrogenation of 6-cyanomethylenepurine derivatives 2 and 7 which were obtained by the substitution of 6-chloropurine derivatives with α-cyanoacetamide and ethyl cyanoacetate, respectively. Substitution of α-(aminomethylene)-9-(tetrahydrofuran)-9H-purine-6-acetamide ( 3b ) with amines gave the corresponding N-alkyl- and N-arylamines 5 , which were treated with acid to give N-substituted α-(aminomethylene)-9H-purine-6-acetamides 6 . Substitution of 9 with amines gave the corresponding N-alkyl- and N-aryl substituted amines 10 .     

Synthesis and investigation of the chemical and physicochemical properties of 6-(1,4,5,6-tetrahydro-6-oxo-3-pyridazinyl)-2,3-dihydro-2-indolinones

Acylation of 1-ethyl-3-(N,N-dimethyl)aminomethylene-1,2-dihydro-2-indolinone by succinic anhydride in the presence of aluminum chloride has been studied. PMR spectroscopy shows that this acylation leads to formation of a mixture of the 5- and 6-succinoyl derivatives with predominance of the latter (cis and trans isomers of both these products were found). The reaction of the latter with hydrazine hydrate gives hydrazinomethylene derivative of 2-indolinone, in reaction of which with various carbonyl compounds a series of oxindol hydrazones has been obtained. The reaction of these products with primary amines smoothly leads to transamination and the formation of enamines of 1,6-disubstituted 2-indolinone.

Synthesis of α-(aminomethylene)-9-(methoxymethyl)-9H-purine-6-acetic acid derivatives

α-(Aminomethylene)-9-(methoxymethyl)-9H-purine-6-acetamide and the ethyl acetate, 3 and 8 , have been synthesized by catalytic hydrogenation of 6-cyanomethylene-9-methoxymethylpurine derivatives 2 and 7 which were obtained by the substitution of 6-chloro-9-(methoxymethyl)purine ( 1 ) with α-cyanoacetamide and ethyl cyanoacetate, respectively. Substitution of 3 and 8 with amines gave the corresponding N-substituted α-(aminomethylene)-9-(methoxymethyl)-9H-purine-6-acetamide and the ethyl acetate 4 and 10 . Reaction of 3 with piperidine gave 9-(methoxymethyl)-9H-purine-6-acetamide ( 5 ).

Lactam and acid amide acetals. 64. Acylation of enamino ketones of the indolin-3-one and 2-pyrrolin-4-one series and synthesis of 2-indolyl- and 5-pyrrolylacrylic acid derivatives

The reaction of 2-(N,N-dimethylaminomethylene)indolin-3-one and 2-methyl-3-ethoxycarbonyl-5-(N,N-dimethyl aminomethylene)-2-pyrrolin-4-one with acyl halides was used to synthesize immonium salts, the aqueous hydrolysis of which leads to 2-formyl-3-hydroxyindole and 4-hydroxy-5 formylpyrrole derivatives. -Cyano--(2-indolyl)- and -cyano--(5-pyrrolyl)acrylic acid derivatives were synthesized by reaction of immonium salts of the pyrrole series, 4 acyloxy-5-formylpyrrole and 2-formyl-3-acyloxyindole derivatives, with compounds that contain an active methylene group.See [1] for Communication 63.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 3, pp. 343–348, March, 1991.     

Cycloaddition to aminomethylene derivatives of 1-phenyl-3-methylpyrazole-5-thione and 1-phenyl-3-methylpyrazole-5-selenone

Addition products — anhydrides of 1-phenyl-3-methyl-4-alkylamino-4,5,6-tetrahydrothio(seleno)pyrano-3, 2-pyrazole-5,6-dicarboxylic acids — were obtained by cycloaddition of maleic anhydride to aminomethylene derivatives of 1-phenyl-3-methylpyrazole-5-thione and 1-phenyl-3-methylpyrazole-5-selenone, while anhydrides of the corresponding dihydrothio(seleno)pyranopyrazoledicarboxylic acids were obtained by splitting out of an amine. The oxygen-containing analog does not undergo cycloaddition. An oxanol dye is formed from 1-phenyl-3-methyl-4-dimethylaminomethylene-5-pyrazolone, whereas the corresponding acyl derivative was isolated from the monomethyl derivatives.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 4, pp. 527–529, April, 1979.     

Azasteroids. Synthesis by Diels-Alder Reaction between Maleimides, Citraconimide, and Triazolindiones and 1-(1-Trialkylsiloxyvinyl)-3,4-dihydronaphthalene Derivatives

Summary. 18-Nor-16-azaestrane derivatives with 8β, 13β, and 14β orientation were isolated from Diels-Alder reactions between maleimides or citraconimide and 1-(1-siloxyvinyl)naphthalene derivatives. (8RS)-13,14,16-Triazaestrane derivatives were synthesized from 1,2,4-triazolin-3,5-diones. The parent 11-oxo derivatives were obtained by desilylation, and they were transformed into 11-hydroxyimino derivatives. 3-Hydroxy derivatives, finally were synthesized by cleavage of the 3-methoxy group with BBr₃. During these transformations the stereochemistry of the steroidal skeleton was not changed. The stereochemistry of these “unnatural” steroids was elucidated by spectroscopic methods, and compared with results from calculations, and with the configuration of natural estrane derivatives. Finally, an improved method for the synthesis of the starting material, 6-methoxy-1-[(1-trialkylsiloxy)-vinyl]-3,4-dihydronaphthalene was developed.

In the presence of Pd(dba)(2), xantphos (L8), AgOAc and Na(2)CO(3), a variety of 3-chloro-2-iodo-N-arylacrylamides underwent the reaction with amides or amines to afford the corresponding 3-(aminomethylene)-2-oxoindolines in moderate to good yields.     

Phenylmercury derivatives of aminomethylene- and hydroxymethylene-substituted 1-methyloxindoles, 1-indanones,and 1,3-indanediones

A number of phenylmercury derivatives of 3-hydroxymethylene- and 3-aminomethylene-substituted 1-methyloxindoles, 1-indanones, and 1,3-indanediones were synthesized. It is shown that the preferred tautomeric structures of the potentially metallotropic and prototropic hydroxymethylene keto (hydroxy vinyl aldehyde) derivatives of the indicated compounds and 3-hydroxybenzo[b]-2-formylthiophene coincide precisely. An aminomethylene structure with an N-H bond is realized for the phenylmercury derivatives of the corresponding azomethines in all cases.Communication 28 from the series Benzenoid-Quinoid Tautomerism of Azomethines and Their Structural Analogs.

New scaffolds for combinatorial synthesis. 1. 5-sulfamoylisatins and their reactions with 1,2-diamines

3,3-Dichloro-5-(4-methylpiperidinosulfonyl)-2-indolinone (3) and 5-sulfamoylisatins 4 have been synthesized from 5-chlorosulfonyl-3,3-dichloro-2-indolinone (1). Compounds 4 are promising scaffolds for the solid- and liquid-phase syntheses of new combinatorial libraries of various heterocycles. Thus, the reactions of 4 with 1,2-diamines, such as o-phenylenediamine (5) and aminoguanidine hydrochloride (6), 1,2-diaminoimidazoles (9), and thiosemicarbazide led, respectively, to new heterocycles 7 and 8 and new combinatorial libraries of triazinoindoles 10 and 15. Chemsets 4, 10, and 15 were isolated as crystalline solids that were purified by recrystallization from a suitable solvent and characterized by spectroscopic methods.     

Synthesis of 2-hydroxy-3-indolinones and 3-hydroxy-2-indolinones by anionic cyclization, in situ oxidation and rearrangement

Lithiation with butyllithium of 2-(benzylamino)benzamides (N-benzyl anthranilamides) occurs at the benzylic position to give an α-amino-organolithium that cyclizes to the 3-indolinone (indoxyl) ring (similar to a Parham cyclization). Autoxidation in air gives 2-hydroxy-3-indolinones. In the absence of a proton source, rearrangement of the aryl group from C-2 to C-3 occurs to give the 3-hydroxy-2-indolinone (oxindole) ring.
