4-hydroxy-2-quinolones. 202*. Synthesis, chemical and biological properties of 4-hydroxy-6,7-dimethoxy-2-oxo-1,2-dihydroquinoline-3-carboxylic acid alkylamides

In continuation of the search for potential analgesics amongst 4-hydroxyquinol-2-one derivatives we have proposed and carried out a preparative method of synthesis of 4-hydroxy-6,7-dimethoxy-2-oxo-1,2-dihydroquinoline-3-carboxylic acid alkylamides. It has been shown that bromination of 4-hydroxy-6,7-dimethoxy-2-oxo-1,2-dihydroquinoline-3-carboxylic acid allylamide using an equivalent of molecular bromine occurs with a conventional addition of the halogen to the allyl double bond and not with halocyclization. The results of the study of the analgesic properties of the compounds prepared are presented.

Alkaline hydrolysis of the ethyl ester of 4-(cyanoethoxycarbonylmethyl)-2-oxo-1,2-dihydroquinoline-3-carboxylic acid is accompanied by decarboxylation with loss of two molecules of CO₂ and leads to 4-methyl-2-oxo-1,2-dihydroquinoline-3-carboxylic acid. __________ Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 6, pp. 887–893, June, 2006.     

Novel methods for the synthesis of 2-[(4<Emphasis Type="Italic">R</Emphasis>)-2-oxo-4-phenylpyrrolidin-1-yl]-acetamide ((<Emphasis Type="Italic">R</Emphasis>)-phenotropil)

Two novel methods have been developed for the preparation of 2-[(4R)-2-oxo-4-phenylpyrrolidin-1-yl]acetamide ((R)-Phenotropil). In the first, n-butyl (3R)-4-amino-3-phenylbutyrate is alkylated with haloacetamide in DMF in the presence of potassium phosphate monohydrate, and the intermediate 4-carbamoylmethylamino-3-phenylbutyrate is subsequently cyclized by refluxing in toluene in the presence of potassium phosphate monohydrate and tetrabutylammonium bromide. In the second, chloroacetonitrile is used under similar conditions in place of the haloacetamide. Both methods lead to (R)-Phenotropil in 40-60% yields calculated on the starting n-butyl (3R)-4-amino-3-phenylbutyrate.

4-Hydroxy-2-quinolones. 168*. Synthesis,chemical and antitubercular properties of 1-R-4-hydroxy-2-oxo-1,2-dihydroquinoline-3-carboxylic acid pyrazin-2-ylamides

1-R-4-Hydroxy-2-oxo-1,2-dihydroquinoline-3-carboxylic acid pyrazin-2-ylamides have been synthesized as potential antitubercular agents. In contrast to pyrimidin-2-ylamides the compounds prepared are brominated by molecular bromine in glacial acetic acid at position 6 of the quinolone ring rather than in the amide part of the molecule. The 1-N-allyl derivative behaves similarly but undergoes halocyclization to give 2-bromomethyl-5-oxo-1,2-dihydro-5H-oxazolo[3,2-a]quinoline-4-carboxylic acid pyrazin-2-ylamide. A comparative analysis of the antimycobacterial properties of the synthesized compounds and their isomeric pyrimidin-2-ylamides has been carried out.

Synthesis of azepino[1,2-<Emphasis Type="Italic">a</Emphasis>]benzimidazoles and imidazo[1,2-<Emphasis Type="Italic">a</Emphasis>]azepines

Fusion of 4-bromo-1,3-diphenyl-2-buten-1-ones (γ-bromodypnones) with 1,2-dimethyl-1H-benzimidazole and further treatment of the reaction product with a base (morpholine) gives 7,9-diaryl-5-methyl5,10-dihydroazepino[1,2-a]benzimidazol-11-ium bromides. The reaction of γ-bromodypnone with 1-alkyl-2-methyl-1H-imidazoles in benzene at 25 °C gives quaternary azolium salts. Upon heating their solutions in alcohol in the presence of K₂CO₃ the latter cyclize to 1-R-6,8-diaryl-1,5-dihydroimidazo[1,2-a]azepin-4-ium bromides or 1-R-6,8-diaryl-1H-imidazo[1,2-a]azepines depending on the nature of the substituent in the benzene rings and the substituent at the N(1) atom of the imidazole.

An improved method for the preparation of ethyl 1-hydroxy-3-oxo-6,7-dihydro-3H,5H-pyrido[3,2,1-ij]quinoline-2-carboxylate has been proposed and a series of hetarylamides has been synthesized from it. A comparative analysis has been carried out of the antitubercular activities of the synthesized compounds with the active structural analogs 4-hydroxy-2-oxo-1,2-dihydroquinoline-3 and 1-hydroxy-3-oxo-5,6-dihydro-3H-pyrrolo[3,2,1-ij]quinoline-2-carboxamides studied before. __________ Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 8, pp. 1189–1202, August, 2008.

Hydrogenation of (1R,2R,6S)-3-methyl-6-(1-methylethenyl)cyclohex-3-ene-1,2-diol was studied. Nickel chloride-sodium tetrahydridoborate system turned out to selectively reduce the double bond in the isopropenyl group. The results of conformational analysis of (1R,2R,6S)-3-methyl-6-(1-methylethenyl)cyclohex-3-ene-1,2-diol and its partly and completely hydrogenated derivatives were in a good agreement with the NMR data.
