Synthesis,crystal structure and activity evaluation of novel 3,4‐dihydro‐1‐benzoxepin‐5(2H)‐one derivatives as protein–tyrosine kinase (PTK) inhibitors

Four new 3,4‐dihydro‐1‐benzoxepin‐5(2H )‐one derivatives, namely (E )‐4‐(5‐bromo‐2‐hydroxybenzylidene)‐6,8‐dimethoxy‐3,4‐dihydrobenzo[b ]oxepin‐5(2H )‐one, ( 7 ), (E )‐4‐[(E )‐3‐(5‐bromo‐2‐hydroxyphenyl)allylidene]‐6,8‐dimethoxy‐3,4‐dihydrobenzo[b ]oxepin‐5(2H )‐one, ( 8 ), (E )‐4‐(5‐bromo‐2‐hydroxybenzylidene)‐6‐hydroxy‐8‐methoxy‐3,4‐dihydrobenzo[b ]oxepin‐5(2H )‐one, C₁₈H₁₅BrO₅, ( 9 ), and (E )‐4‐[(E )‐3‐(5‐bromo‐2‐hydroxyphenyl)allylidene]‐6‐hydroxy‐8‐methoxy‐3,4‐dihydrobenzo[b ]oxepin‐5(2H )‐one, ( 10 ), have been synthesized and characterized by FT–IR, NMR and MS. The structure of ( 9 ) was confirmed by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction. Crystal structure analysis shows that molecules of ( 9 ) are connected into a one‐dimensional chain in the [010] direction through classical hydrogen bonds and these chains are further extended into a three‐dimensional network via C—H…O interactions. The inhibitory activities of these compounds against protein–tyrosine kinases (PTKs) show that 6‐hydroxy‐substituted compounds ( 9 ) and ( 10 ) are more effective for inhibiting ErbB1 and ErbB2 than are 6‐methoxy‐substituted compounds ( 7 ) and ( 8 ). This may be because ( 9 ) and ( 10 ) could effectively bind to the active pockets of the protein through intermolecular interactions.     

Proton,carbon-13 and fluorine-19 NMR studies of 9,10,11,12-tetra-fluoro-5,6-dihydrobenzo[b]naphth[2,1-f]oxepin: ‘Through-space’ carbon-fluorine coupling was revealed

The ¹H, ¹³C and ¹⁹F nmr spectra of 9,10,11,12-tetrafluoro-5,6-dihydrobenzo[b]naphth[2,1-f]oxepin ( 1 ) were totally assigned using a combination of two-dimensional nmr techniques. Unequivocal interpretation of the spectral data allowed the complete assignments of the resonances. In addition, the spectra of compound 1 revealed an unusual through-space carbon-fluorine coupling which was further supported by NOE and modeling experiments.     

Polycyclic N‐Heterocyclic Compounds,Part 69: Synthesis of 5‐amino‐1,2‐dihydro[1]benzofuro[3,2‐d]furo[2,3‐b]pyridines and their transformations to related compounds

Reaction of 3‐(3‐cyanopropoxy)[1]benzofuran‐2‐carbonitriles with potassium tert‐butoxide gave 5‐amino‐1,2‐dihydro[1]benzofuro[3,2‐d]furo[2,3‐b]pyridines and 5‐amino‐2,3‐dihydro[1]benzofuro[3,2‐b]oxepin‐4‐carbonitriles as new ring systems. Reactions of the 5‐chloro derivative, obtained from 5‐amino‐1,2‐dihydro[1]benzofuro[3,2‐d]furo[2,3‐b]pyridine, produced a dihydrofuran ring‐opened compound and 5‐substituted compounds. J. Heterocyclic Chem.,(2011).     

Synthesis of Certain Benzoheterocyclic Compounds from 2‐Hydroxyacetophenone via Cyclization and Ring‐closing Metathesis

Synthesis of some benzoheterocyclic compounds like substituted benzofurans, 4‐methyl‐2H‐chromenes and 3,4‐dihydro‐2H‐benzo[b]oxepin‐5‐ones from 2‐hydroxyacetophenone via base induced cyclization and ring‐closing metathesis (RCM) is described.     

Unexpected formation of a 10H-Pyrido[2,3-h]pyrazolo[3,4-b]quinoline derivative,a new ring system

Treatment of N-(1,3-dimethylpyrazol-5-yl)-4-anthranilic acid with phosphorus oxychloride gave an intermediate which was condensed with 3-dimethylaminopropylamine to yield 10,8-dimethyl-7-(3-dimethylaminopropylamino)-10H-pyrido[2,3-h]pyrazolo[3,4-b]quinoline (IV). The structure of IV, which represents a previously undescribed ring system, was confirmed by an independent synthesis.     

Strategy to Construct Stair‐Shaped Partially Reduced Naphtho[1,2‐b]pyrano[2,3‐d]oxepines and Dinaphtho[1,2‐b,d]oxepines

A concise and efficient base‐induced synthesis of stair‐shaped, 4‐methylthio‐2‐oxo‐5,6‐dihydro‐2H‐naphtho[1,2‐b]pyran[2,3‐d]oxepine‐3‐carbonitriles ( 3 ) has been delineated by the reaction of 3,4‐dihydronaphtho[1,2‐b]oxepin‐5(2H)‐one ( 1 ) and methyl 2‐cyano‐3,3‐dimethylthioacrylate in DMSO using powdered KOH as a base at room temperature. Amination of 3 has been achieved by reaction with secondary amine in ethanol at reflux temperature to yield 4‐sec‐amino‐2‐oxo‐5,6‐dihydro‐2H‐naphtho[1,2‐b]pyran[2,3‐d]oxepine‐3‐carbonitriles ( 4 ). Reaction of 3 with aryl methyl ketone ( 5 ) in DMSO at room temperature using powdered KOH as a base produced stair‐shaped 5‐aryl‐7,8‐dihydro‐1,4‐dioxa‐2,3‐dioxodinaphtho[1,2‐b,d]oxepine ( 6 ) in good yields. However, reaction of 6‐aryl‐2H‐pyran‐2‐one‐3‐carbonitrile ( 8 ) with 3,4‐dihydronaphtho[1,2‐b]oxepin‐5(2H)‐one ( 1 ) did not give similar product, but in lieu 4‐aryl‐5,6‐dihydronaphtho[1,2‐b]oxepino[4,5‐b]pyran‐2‐ylidene)acetonitrile ( 9 ) was isolated and characterized.     

Synthesis of 5H-Tetrazolo[1,5-d] [1,4]benzodiazepin-6(7H)ones

Syntheses of 5H-tetrazolo [1,5-d] [1,4 ]benzodiazepin-6(7H)ones 2a-d from 5-(o-aminophenyl)-tetrazoles 1a-d and bromoacetyl bromide are described. Compounds 2a-d are representatives of a novel tricyclic ring system. Several alternate methods for the synthesis of 2a-d were attempted without success. Spectral evidence for structural assignments 2a-d is presented. Chemical evidence for these assignments includes the transformation of 2a to 6-(2,2-dimethylhydrazino)-5H-tetrazolo[1,5-d] [1,4]benzodiazepine ( 19 ) via the thione analog of 2a ( 18 ).     

Electrophilic substitution of dibenz[b,f]oxepin

Dibenz[b,f]oxepin undergoes nitration and acid-catalyzed deuteration at the 10-position and adds bromine across the 10,11 bond. These reactions contradict predictions made by the SCFMO method. Chemical reactions and NMR spectroscopy suggest that dibenz[b,f]oxepin is only weakly aromatic.     

Synthesis of a rotenone-like benzopyranobenzopyranone

The synthesis of a novel rotenone-like molecule, 9-methoxy-8-methyl-6,6a,12,12a-tetrahydro[1]benzopyrano-[3,4-b][1]benzopyran-12-one ( 2 ) is described. Efficient syntheses of 3,4-dihydro-2H-[1]benzopyran-3-one ( 9 ) from ethyl 3-hydroxy-2H-[1]benzopyran-4-carboxylate ( 6 ), an intermediate in the synthesis of 2 , were developed. Thermolysis of 6 and 9 in decalin yielded 6,8-dihydro-14H-bis[1]benzopyrano[3,4-b:4′,3′-e]pyran-14-one ( 8 ), which has previously been described. Also produced in the thermolysis was the isomeric 1H-bis[1]-benzopyrano[3,4-b:3′,4′-á]pyran-7-(9H)one ( 10 ), the first member of a novel, pentacyclic ring system.

The total assignment of ¹H and ¹³C nmr spectra of 2 was determined utilizing two-dimensional nmr methods, providing unequivocal structural proof of the two novel polycyclic ring systems.

The synthesis of two previously unknown unsubstituted heterocyclic ring systems namely, benzo[h][1]benzothieno[2,3-c]quinoline ( 6 ) and benzo[f][1]benzothieno[2,3-c]quinoline ( 12 ) is reported. These two novel ring systems have been assembled by photocyclization of the appropriate amides.     

Expansion of the pentafluorobenzene ring and other skeletal transformations in the reaction of perfluoro(1,2-diethyl-1-phenyl-1,2-dihydrocyclobutabenzene) with antimony pentafluoride

The reaction of perfluoro(1-phenyl-1,2-diethyl-1,2-dihydrocuclobutabenzene) with SbF5 at 20°C, followed by treatment of the reaction mixture with water gave perfluoro {4-[1-(2-propylphenyl)propylidene]-2,5-cyclohexadien-1-one} together with perfluoro[4b,10-diethylbenzo[a]azulen-7(4bH)-one] resulting from unusual expansion of the pentafluorobenzene ring to seven-membered ring. Analogous reaction at 90°C, apart from the above compounds, afforded perfluorinated 10-ethyl- and 3,10-diethylbenzo[a]azulen-6(10H)-ones via elimination of C₂F₅ group from the seven-membered ring or its migration to the benzene ring.     

Studies on the synthesis of heterocyclic compounds. Part IV. Further investigation of the pschorr reaction with some pyrazole derivatives

Thermal decomposition of the diazonium sulfate derived from N-methyl-(1-phenyl-3-methylpyrazol-5-yl)-2-aminobenzamide afforded products formulated as 1-phenyl-3-methyl[2]benzopyrano[4,3-c]pyrazol-5-one (yield 10%), 1,4-dimethyl-3-phenylpyrazolo[3,4-c]isoquinolin-5-one (yield 10%), N-methyl-(1-phenyl-3-methylpyrazol-5-yl)-2-hydroxybenzamide (yield 8%) and 4′-hydroxy-2,3′-dimethyl-1′-phenylspiro[isoindoline-1,5′-[2]-pyrazolin]-3-one (yield 20%). Decomposition of the diazonium sulfate derived from N-methyl-(1,3-diphenylpyrazol-5-yl)-2-aminobenzamide gave products formulated as 7,9-dimethyldibenzo[e,g]pyrazolo[1,5-a][1,3]-diazocin-10-(9H)one (yield 8%), 4-methyl-1,3-diphenylpyrazolo[3,4-c]isoquinolin-5-one (yield 7%) and 4′-hydroxy-2-methyl-1′,3′-diphenylspiro[isoindoline-1,5′-[2]pyrazolin]3-one (yield 10%). The spiro compounds 6a,b underwent thermal and acid-catalysed conversion into the hitherto unknown 2-benzopyrano[4,3-c]pyrazole ring system 7a,b in good yield. Analytical and spectral data are presented which supported the structures proposed.

Heterotricyclodecane XXVII. Ein weiterer Zugang zu 2,6-Dioxatricyclo [3.3.2.03,7]decan

A Further Approach to 2,6-Dioxatricyclo[3.3.2.0^3,7]decane A further synthesis of 2,6-dioxatricyclo[3.3.2.0^3,7]decane ( 10 ) is described by bridging the 9-oxabicyclo[4.2.1]non-7-en-3endo-ol ( 9 ).

Imidazo[2,1‐b]thiazoles,imidazo[2,1‐b]imidazoles and Pyrrolo[1,2‐c]imidazoles. synthesis,structure and evaluation of benzodiazepine receptor binding

As a continuation of our studies on bicyclic heterocycles with benzodiazepine receptor affinity, derivatives with a 5:5 bicyclic skeleton, namely imidazo[2,1‐b]thiazoles, imidazo[2,1‐b]imidazoles and pyrrolo[1,2‐c]imidazoles were prepared. The compounds possessed an aromatic substituent with different spatial arrangement and distance to the bicyclic skeleton. X‐ray structure analysis was performed for Z‐2‐(4‐chlorobenzylidene)‐5,5‐diphenyl‐2,3,5,6‐tetrahydroimidazo[2,1‐b]imidazoline‐3,6‐dione ( 6a ) and 5‐amino‐6‐cyano‐7‐phenyl‐1‐oxo‐3‐thioxo‐2,3‐dihydro‐1H‐pyrrolo[1,2‐c]imidazole ( 20a ). In contrast to the previously described arylideneimidazo[2,1‐b]thiazepinones the smaller heterocyclic ring systems investigated in this study were devoid of meaningful benzodiazepine receptor affinity as well as anti‐convulsant activity.     

Nuclear hydroxylated metabolite of fluradoline (2-fluoro-11-[(β-methylamino)ethylthio]dibenz[b,f]oxepin hydrochloride). Identification and synthesis

Fluradoline (2-fluoro-11-[β-(methylamino)ethylthio]dibenz[b,f]oxepin), a novel analgesic with an unique profile, was found to be extensively metabolized in man as well as in other species. One of the major metabolites of this drug appeared to be a nuclear hydroxylated derivative of the parent compound, and the site of enzymatic hydroxylation was established to be C(7) by using high-field proton nuclear magnetic spectroscopy. This structural assignment was subsequently confirmed by the synthesis of an authentic sample of 2-fluoro-7-hydroxy-11-[β-(methylamino)ethylthio]dibenz[b,f]oxepin ( 2a ).     

Fluorine-containing 3-arylhydrazono-2,4-dioxobutanoates in reactions with difunctional nucleophiles

3-Arylhydrazono-4-polyfluoroalkyl-2,4-dioxobutanoates reacted with hydrazines to give ethyl 4-aryldiazeno-3-polyfluoroalkyl-1H-pyrazole-5-carboxylates, while analogous reactions of ethyl 3-arylhydrazono-4-pentafluorophenyl-2,4-dioxobutanoates resulted in the formation of 4-aryldiazeno-3-pentafluorophenyl-1,2-dihydropyridazine-5,6-diones or 6-aryl-7,8,9,10-tetrafluoro-2-phenyl-2,4a,6,10b-tetradropyridazo[4,3-c]cinnoline-3,4-diones, depending on the conditions. Cyclocondensation of ethyl 3-arylhydrazono-4-polyfluoroalkyl(or pentafluorophenyl)-2,4-dioxobutanoates with ethylenediamine led to 3-[1-arylhydrazono-2-oxo-2-polyfluoroalkyl(or pentafluorophenyl)ethyl]-5,6-dihydropyrazin-2(1H)-ones, and 3-[1-arylhydrazono-2-oxo-2-polyfluoroalkyl(pentafluorophenyl)ethyl]benzoxazin-2-ones were formed in the condensation with o-aminophenol. Pentafluorophenyl-substituted heterocycles were found to undergo intramolecular ring closure to give 3-hetaryl-substituted 1-aryl-5,6,7,8-tetrafluoro-1,4-dihydrocinnolin-4-ones. The reactions of ethyl 3-arylhydrazono-4-pentafluorophenyl-2,4-dioxobutanoates with o-aminobenzenethiol gave 3-[7-(2-aminophenylsulfanyl)-1-aryl-5,6,8-trifluoro-4-oxo-1,4-dihydrocinnolin-3-yl]benzothiazin-2-ones; 8a-hydroxy-11,12,13,14-tetrafluoro-10-(4-methoxyphenyl)-2,3,4,5,6,7,8a,10-octahydropyrazino[1′,2′:4,5][1,4]diazepino[6,7-c]cinnolin-8-one was isolated in the condensation of ethyl 3-(4-methoxyphenylhydrazono)-4-pentafluorophenyl-2,4-dioxobutanoate with N-(2-aminoethyl)ethane-1,2-diamine.     

Synthesis and Properties of 6-Amino-7-hetaryl-5-R-5H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyrazine-2,3-dicarbonitriles

We have established that when 5-chloro-6-[cyano(2,3-dihydro-1-R-benzo[d]azol-2-yl)methyl]-2,3-pyrazinedicarbonitriles are reacted with nucleophilic reagents (aliphatic and aromatic amines, hydrogen sulfide), annelation of the five-membered ring occurs on the [b] face of the pyrazine with formation of 6-amino-7-hetaryl-5-R-5H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyrazine-2,3-dicarbonitriles and 6-amino-7-(1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2-yl)thieno[2,3-b]pyrazine-2,3-dicarbonitrile respectively. Further heating with excess of acylating reagent leads to formation of a novel heterocyclic system 1H-benzo[4,5]imidazo[1,2-c]pyrazino[2',3':4,5]pyrrolo[3,2-e]pyrimidine. Reaction of vicinal dinitriles with hydrazine hydrate leads to the novel system 1H-pyrrolo[2',3':5,6]pyrazino[2,3-d]pyridazine.     

Studies in the heterocyclic series. XXI. A novel tetraaza-analog of phenothiazine

As a continuation of our search for new pharmaco-active phenothiazine compounds, the synthesis of 1,4,6,8-tetraazabenzo[b]phenothiazine ring system is described. Derivatives of this new heterocycle were prepared by converting 4,5-diamino-6-hydroxypyrimidine to 4,5-diaminopyrimidine-6-(1H)thione followed by the action of 2,3-dichloroquinoxaline in refluxing DMF or DMAC. The reaction of mixed nitric and sulfuric acids with 9-amino-12-chloro-1,4,6,8-tetraazabenzo[b]phenothiazine gave 9-amino-12-chloro-13-nitro-1,4,6,8-tetraazabenzo[b]phenothiazine 5-oxide in satisfactory yields. Diazotization of 9-amino-1,4,6,8-tetraazabenzo-[b]phenothiazine led to 1,4,6,8-tetraazatriazolo[4,5,1-kl]benzo[b]phenothiazine which is a new heterocyclic compound and the parent compound of this ring system. The mechanistic pathways to these compounds are also proposed.
