Synthesis of 8-substituted naphtho[2,1-b]thiophenes with cationic side chains at position 4

A series of five 8-substituted α-[bis(2-hydroxyethyi)aminoethyl]naphtho[2,1-b]thiophenes 7 and a series of seven N-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-8-substituted naphtho[2,1-b]thiophene-4-carboxamides 8 have been synthesized. The naphtho[2,1-b]thiophene-4-carboxylic acids 4 were prepared by photooxidative cyclization of α-(2-thienyi)-β-arylacrylic acids 3. The carboxylic acids 4 were converted by a conventional five step route involving α-bromoketone intermediates to the a-[bis(2-hydroxyethyl)aminomethyl]-8-substituted naphtho-[2,1-6]thiophene-4-methanols 7 and by a standard two-step amide preparation to the N-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-8-substituted naphtho[2,1-6]thiophene-4-carboxamides 8 .     

Synthesis of 6-aminobenzo[b]naphtho[2,1-d]thiophene

6-Aminobenzo[b]naphtho[2,1-d]thiophene has been prepared by two different routes, one, a one-pot synthesis.     

Synthesis of 4-arylcarbamoyl-5-(2-hydroxynaphthylazo)imidazoles and 1-substituted naphtho[2,1-e]imidazo[5,1-c][1,2,4]triazines

The reactions of β-naphthol with 5-diazoimidazoles and imidazolyl-5-diazonium salts containing chemically different carboxamide groups in position 4 were studied. Heterocyclization of 4-arylcarbamoyl-5-(2-hydroxynaphthylazo)imidazoles formed in these reactions was investigated. The presence of the NH fragment in the amide group prevents this process, the reaction giving instead 3-substituted 3,7-dihydroimidazo[4,5-d][1,2,3]triazin-4-ones, which is due to reversibility of C-azo coupling. Methods for modification of 1-ethoxycarbonyl group in the naphtho[2,1-e]imidazo[5,1-c][1,2,4]triazine system were developed and used to prepare substituted carboxamides inaccessible by other routes.

1,1-dioxonaphtho[1,2-b]thiophene-2-methyloxycarbonyl (alpha-Nsmoc) and 3,3-dioxonaphtho[2,1-b]thiophene-2-methyloxycarbonyl (beta-Nsmoc) amino-protecting groups

Of the three theoretically possible, Bsmoc-related, naphthothiophene sulfone-based amino-protecting groups, the two most readily available derivatives, the alpha- and beta-Nsmoc analogues, have been examined as substitutes for the Bsmoc residue in cases where the latter lead to oily protected amino acids or amino acid fluorides. All of the naphtho systems gave easily handled solid amino acid derivatives. The intermediate sulfone alcohol 11 used as the key reagent for introduction of the alpha-Nsmoc protecting group was readily made from alpha-tetralone (Scheme 1). The corresponding beta-analogue 17 was made similarly on a small scale, but due to the high cost of beta-tetralone, an alternate route involving reaction of rhodanine with alpha-naphthaldehyde was used for large-scale work (Scheme 2). All proteinogenic amino acids were converted to their alpha- and beta-Nsmoc derivatives. Deblocking studies showed that the reactivity toward deblocking by piperidine followed the order alpha-Nsmoc > Bsmoc > beta-Nsmoc. 1H NMR experiments showed that deblocking of the two new systems was mechanistically similar to that previously established for the Bsmoc derivative in that the reaction is initiated by Michael addition to the beta-carbon atom of the alpha,beta-unsaturated sulfone system. Application of alpha- and beta-Nsmoc amino acids to the solid-phase synthesis of two model peptides was examined. An advantage of the alpha-Nsmoc system over the long-known Bsmoc system proved to be the milder conditions needed for the deblocking step relative to the Bsmoc case, which is itself more readily deblocked than the classic Fmoc analogue.     

Synthesis of 4- and 5-(s-triazolo[4,3-b]pyridazinyl-3)-substituted cyclic polyols

4( R )-(6-Chloro-s-triazolo[4,3-b]pyridazinyl-3)-1,4-furanoses 10 and 11 , 5( R )-(6-chloro-s-triazolo[4,3-b]pyridazinyl-3)-1,5-pyranose 13 , and 2(S),3( R )-dihydro-5-(6-chloro-s-triazolo[4,3-b]pyridazinyl-3)-2,3-O-isopropylidenefuran ( 12 ) were prepared by cyclization of hydrazones 6–9 obtained from 6-chloro-3-hydrazinopyridazine ( 1 ) and aldofuranoses 2, 3 and 4 , and aldopyranose 5 .     

New 6-(4-Bromophenyl)-imidazo[2,1-b]thiazole Derivatives: Synthesis and Antimicrobial Activity

Summary.  New 4-alkyl/aryl-1-((6-(4-bromophenyl)-imidazo[2,1-b]thiazol-3-yl)-acetyl)-3-thiosemicarbazides and 3-alkyl/aryl-2-(((6-(4-bromophenyl)-imidazo[2,1-b]thiazol-3-yl)-acetyl)-hydrazono)-4-thiazolidinones were synthesized from 6-(4-bromophenyl)-imidazo[2,1-b]thiazole-3-acetic acid hydrazide. Their structures were elucidated by elemental analyses and spectroscopic data. All compounds were tested for antibacterial and antifungal activities. The antimicrobial activities of the compounds were assessed by the microbroth dilution technique. The compounds were also evaluated for antituberculosis activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis H₃₇Rv (ATCC 27294); they exhibited varying degrees of inhibition in the in vitro primary screening at 6.25 μg · cm⁻³. The most active compound was 3-(4-nitrophenyl)-2-(((6-(4-bromophenyl)-imidazo[2,1-b]thiazol-3-yl)-acetyl)-hydrazono)-4-thiazolidinone. Corresponding author.

Synthesis of all of the monomethyl isomers of naphtho[2,1-b]thiophene

All isomers of the monomethylnaphtho[2,1-b]thiophenes were synthesized by photocyclization of 2-styryl-thiophenes which were either prepared by the Wadsworth-Emmons reaction or by the condensation of 2-lithiothiophene with the corresponding carbonyl compounds.     

Synthesis of certain 5-substituted thieno[2,3-b]thiophene-2-sulfonamides and thieno[2,3-b]thiophene-2-sulfonamide 6,6-dioxides

A series of the title compounds were prepared for evaluation as inhibitors of carbonic anhydrase II. Oxidation of 5-substituted thieno[2,3-b]thiophene-2-sulfonamides provided the first examples of thiophene[2,3-b]thiophene-2-sulfonarnide 6,6-dioxides. These cyclic vinyl sulfones readily underwent addi tion to give predominately that 4,5-cis addition product.     

Synthesis of pyrido[2,1-b]- and thiazolo[2,3-b]purines

Some pyrido[2,1-b]- and thiazolo[2,3-b]purines, tricyclic compounds structurally related to [1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-c]quinazolines 1 have been synthesized with a view to study their possible adenosine and benzodiazepine receptors affinity.     

Synthesis and properties of 2-(2-thienyl)naphtho[2,1-d]oxazole

The condensation of 2-aminonaphthalen-1-ol with thiophene-2-carbonyl chloride in 1-methylpyrrolidin-2-one gave 2-(2-thienyl)naphtho[2,1-d]oxazole which was brought into electrophilic substitution reactions: nitration, bromination, sulfonation, formylation, and acylation. Depending on the conditions, the attack by electrophile was directed at both thiophene ring and naphthalene fragment in the thienylnaphthooxazole molecule.     

Synthesis of 2-substituted naphtho[1′,2′:4,5]thiazolo[3,2-b]-1,2,4-triazoles

N-Amination of 2-aminonaphtho[1,2-d]thiazole ( 1 ) with O-mesitylenesulfonylhydroxylamine ( 2 ) afforded the corresponding 2,3-diaminonaphthothiazolium salt 3a . Cyclocondensation of 3a or its free base 3b with appropriate carboxylic acid derivatives 4a-f gave the title compounds 5a-f in satisfactory yields (54–95%). Structures of the products were assigned on the bases of spectral and elemental analyses.     

Synthesis of 3a,6,6,9a-tetramethyl-trans-perhydronaphtho [2,1-b]furan and 4a,7,7,10a-tetramethyl-trans-perhydronaphtho [2,1-b]pyran

The compounds 3a,6,6,9a-tetramethyl-trans-perhydronaphtho[2,1-b]furan (ambrox or ambroxide) and 4a,7,7,10a-tetramethyl-trans-perhydronaphtho[2,1-b]pyran (homofixator) — substances important in the perfume industry — have been synthesized by superacid cyclization of E,E-homofarnesol and E,E-bishomofarnesol or mixtures of the isomeric bicyclohomofarnesenes or bicyclobishomofarnesenols. Superacid cyclization of these alcohols was shown to be an effective structurally selective and stereospecific method of obtaining ambroxide and homofixator.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 7, pp. 896–901, July, 1990.     

Reactions of some 5-substituted imidazo[2,1-b]-1,3,4-thiadiazoles

The conversion of the 5-bromoimidazo[2, 1-b]-1, 3, 4-thiadiazole Ib to the 5-cyano derivative Ic is firstly described. The 5-nitroimidazo[2, 1-b]-1, 3, 4-thiadiazole Id is smoothly reduced by aluminium amalgam to the 5-imino-5, 6-dihydroimidazo[2, 1-b]-1, 3, 4-thiadiazole II. However, reaction of Id with sodium dithionite unexpectedly gives 1, 3, 4-thiadiazoles III and V depending upon conditions.     

Synthesis of Substituted dihtydro-5H-pyrano[4,-3-b]pyridin-3-carboxamides and -3-carboxylic acids

Optimal conditions were established for the hydrolysis of 2-amino-3-cyanodihydropyranopyridines to give substituted dihydro-5H-pyrano-[4,3-b]pyridine-3-carboxylic acids. Two convenient routes also were developed for the synthesis of the 3-carboxamide derivatives of substi-tuted dihydro-5H-pyrano[4,3-b]pyridine from the corresponding 2-chlorocyano derivatives.A. L.
