The synthesis of novel dipyridazinothiazine ring systems

The synthesis of several dipyridazinothiazines have been accomplished by: (a) cyclization in concentrated hydrochloric acid solution of the appropriate intermediates; and (b) via the Smiles rearrangement in either basic or glacial acetic acid solution of the appropriate intermediates. The following ring systems have been prepared and characterized: 10H-dipyridazino-[4,3-b:4′,5′-e]-1,4-thiazine, 5H-dipyridazino[3,4-b:4′,5′-e]-1,4-thiazine, 10H-dipyridazino[4,5-b:-4′,5′-e]-1,4-thiazine, 5Hdipyridazino[5,4-b:4′,3′-e]-1,4-thiazine, and 10H-dipyridazino[3,4-b:-3′,4′-e]-1,4-thiazine.     

Beitrag zur massenspektrometrischen retro-Diels-Alder-Reaktion: 1,2,3,4-Tetrahydrophenanthren. 35. Mitteilung über massenspektrometrische Untersuchungen

Contribution to the Mass Spectral retro-Diels-Alder Reaction: 1,2,3,4-Tetrahydrophenanthrene [1,4-¹³C]-1,2,3,4-Tetrahydrophenanthrene (1) was synthesized starting from [1,4-¹³C]-succinic acid. The mass spectral behavior (EI./MS., 70eV) of 1 is very similar to that of tetraline [2] concerning its loss of ethylene from the molecular ion. Similarly the fragmentation reaction of the synthetic precursors, ketones 7 and 8 , seems to partly undergo a carbon rearrangement reaction prior to the elimination of ethylene which is unlike to the behavior of α-tetralone.     

Synthesis of tricyclic and tetracyclic thieno[3,2-f]-1,4-thiazepines

Treatment of 5-methylthio-2,3-dihydrothieno[3,2-f]-1,4-thiazepine ( 9 ) with acylhydrazines gave 5,6-dihydrothieno[3,2-f]-1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-d][1,4]thiazepines 10, 11 , and that of 9 with ethyl anthranilate gave 5,6-dihydrothieno[3′,2′:6,7][1,4]thiazepino[5,4-b]quinazolin-8-one ( 14 ). Reaction of 9 with hydrazine hydrate or 4-chlorophenylhydrazine afforded 5-hydrazino compounds 12, 15 , which were subsequently cyclized to ethyl 5,6-dihydrothieno[3,2-f]-1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-d][1,4]thiazepine-3-carboxylate ( 13 ), 2-(4-chlorophenyl)-5,6-dihydrothieno[3,2-f]-1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-d][1,4]thiazepin-3(2H)-one ( 16 ) and 2-(4-chlorophenyl)-6,7-dihydro-2H-thieno[3,2-f][1,2,4]triazino[4,3-d][1,4]thiazepine-3,4-dione ( 17 ). New thieno-anellated heterocycles were prepared with the aim of studying their affinity for the benzodiazepine receptors.

Synthesis and anticonvulsant activities of 5-(2-Chlorophenyl)-7H-pyrido[4,3-f][1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a][1,4]diazepines

A group of 5-(2-chlorophenyl)-10-(substituted)-7H-pyrido[4,3-f][1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a][1,4]diazepines 7a-c were synthesized by the acid catalyzed reaction of 5-(2-chlorophenyl)-2-hydrazino-3H-pyrido[3,4-e]-[1,4]diazepine ( 6 ) with either trimethyl orthoformate, triethyl orthoacetate or triethyl orthobenzoate, respectively. 5-(2-Chlorophenyl)-7H-pyrido[4,3-f][1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a][1,4]diazepine ( 7a ) and 5-(2-chlo-rophenyl)-10-methyl-7H-pyrido[4,3-f][1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a][1,4]diazepine ( 7b ) exhibited good anticonvulsant activity in the subcutaneous metrazol anticonvulsant screen which serves as a model for absence (petit mal) epilepsy.     

Conversion of Campholene- to Necrodane-Type Monoterpenes. A short stereoselective synthesis of (−)-(R,R)-β-necrodol and its three stereoisomers

Application of a stereoselective Prins/retro-Prins rearrangement sequence from (?)-(R)-campholenyl acetate((?)- 4 ) opens a new access to the naturally occurring (?)-(R, R)-β-necrodol ((?)- 1 ) and its three stereoisomers with high optical purity.     

A new method for the synthesis of [1,4]diazepino[6,5-b]indole derivatives

Reactions of 3-[(N-aryl-N-chloroacetyl)amino]-2-formylindoles with substituted anilines gave 1,4-diaryl-2-oxo-1,2,3,6-tetrahydro[1,4]diazepino[6,5-b]indol-4-ium chlorides and those with 4-aminopyridine yielded 4-amino-1-(1-aryl-2-oxo-2,5-dihydro-1H-pyrido[3,2-b]indol-3-yl)pyridinium chlorides. Reduction of 1,2,3,6-tetrahydrodiazepinoindol-4-ium chlorides afforded the corresponding hexahydro derivatives. An alternative synthesis of 1-(4-nitrophenyl)-3-oxo-4-phenyl-1,2,3,4,5,6-hexahydro[1,4]diazepino[6,5-b]indole from 3-[N-(4-nitrophenyl)amino]-2-[(phenylimino)methyl]indole was developed. The method involves the following sequence of transformations: reduction, chloroacetylation, and intramolecular alkylation. Published in Russian in Izvestiya Akademii Nauk.

New heterotricyclic systems, 6,10a,11,11a-tetrahydro-5H-bis[1,2,4]oxadiazolo[4,5-d:5′,4′-g][1,4]diazepines 6,7,9-11 and 5,6,10,10a,11,11a-hexahydro-1H-bis[1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-d:3′,4′-g][1,4]diazepines 8,12 have been obtained by double site- and regie-specific 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of mesitylnitrile oxide ( 1 ) or diphenylnitrile imine ( 2 ) to 5,7-disubstituted 2,3-dihydro-1H-1,4-diazepines 3-5. The structure of the synthesized bis-adducts 6-12 shows that the hetero double bonds are much more reactive than the olefinic ones in the dipolarophiles under study. No evidence for the formation of mono-adducts was obtained.     

Synthesis and selected properties of N-substituted pyrrolo[2,1-c]-1,3-diazacycloalkano[1,2-a]pyrazinones

The reactions of methyl α-(2-formyl-1H-pyrrol-1-yl)carboxylates with N-substituted aliphatic 1,2-, 1,3-, and 1,4-diamines afford new pyrrole-containing heterocyclic systems: 1,2,3,10b-tetrahydroimidazo[1,2-a]pyrrolo[2,1-c]pyrazin-5(6H)-ones, 1,3,4,11b-tetrahydro-2H-pyrrolo[2′,1′:3,4]pyrazino[1,2-a]pyrimidin-6(7H)-ones, and 1,2,3,4,5,12b-hexahydro-pyrrolo[2′,1′:3,4]pyrazino[1,2-a][1,3]diazepin-7(8H)-ones. The reduction of these compounds with different reagents was studied.

The thieno[3,2-e][1,4]diazepin-2-one ( 1a ), the thieno[2,3-e] [ 1,4] diazepin-2-one ( 1b ), the pyrazolo[3,4-e][1,4]diazepin-2-one ( 1c ) and a chloro analog of 1b , compound 1d , were each converted to derivatives of the novel tricyclic ring systems 4H-imidazo[1,5-a]thieno[2,3-f] [1,4]-diazepine, 4Himidazo[1,5a]thieno[2,3f][1,4]diazepine and 4H-imidazo[ 1,5-a]pyrazolo[4,3-f]-[1,4]diazepine. Depending on the substituents desired on the imidazo ring, two different synthetic pathways were employed.     

Ein neuer synthetischer Zugang zu Ubichinonen

A New Synthetic Route to Ubiquinones Ubiquinones 11 have been prepared employing a new strategy: as key step, the Diels-Alder reaction of 1,1,2-trichloroethene 3 with 2,5-bis[(trimethylsilyl)oxy]-3-methylfuran ( 2 ) has been used for the construction of the quinone part. After methanolysis of the [4 + 2] adducts 4a/4b , further reaction with cyclopentadiene and substitution of the Cl-atoms by MeO groups, the intermediate 7 is obtained. Diketone 7 can easily be alkylated with the desired polyprenyl side chain 9 (X = Br) using a strong base to yield, after a retro-Diels-Alder reaction, the corresponding ubiquinones 11 in high yields.     

Tetracyclic systems: Synthesis of isoindolo[1,2-b]thieno-[2,3(3,2 or 3,4)-e][1,3]thiazocines and Isoindolo[2,1-a]thieno-[2,3(3,2 or 3,4)-f][1,4] and [1,5]diazocines

Cyclization of thioglycolic acids derivatives 3a-d gave isoindolo[1,2-b]thieno[2,3(3,2 or 3,4)-e][1,3]-thiazocines 4a-d . Isoindolo[2,1-a]thieno[2,3(3,2 or 3,4)-f][1,4] or [1,5]diazocines 10b or 11a-c were synthesized from Beckmann or Schmidt rearrangement of the ketones 7a-c .     

Reaction of 4,5-diaminopyrimidine and ethyl acetoacetate: Synthesis and chemistry of isomeric dihydropyrimido[4,5-b][1,4] diazepinones

Depending upon reaction conditions, 4,5-diaminopyrimidine and acetoacetic ester gave a variety of condensation products, including the two isomeric dihydropyrimido[4,5-b][1,4]-diazepinones. Under conditions leading to bicyclic products, the formation of 1,5-dihydro-4-methyl-2H-pyrimido[4,5-b][1,4]diazepin-2-one ( 2 ) was strongly favored. The isomeric 3,5-dihydro-2-methyl-4H-4-one compound ( 4 ) was best obtained by cyclization of ethyl 3-(4-amino-5-pyrimidylamino)crotonate ( 3 ) under base catalysis. Thermal rearrangement of 2 and 4 proceeded, in each instance, with loss of the isopropenyl moiety and gave 8-purinone. Compound 4 underwent ring contraction under the influence of alkoxide to yield a product which was shown to be the 7-isopropenyl-8-purinone ( 6 ).

Upon pyrolytic sublimation of these complexes the free heterocycles were obtained and characterized. (η⁶-1,4-Benzoxathiino[3,2-b]pyridine)(η⁵-cyclopentadienyl)iron hexafluorophosphate crystalizes in the orthothombic system, space group Pbca; the dihedral angle between the planes of outer rings was found to be 176.8 (1).     

The [4+2]-cycloaddition of ketene containing both acyl and imidoyl groups to aldehyde: Synthesis,crystal and molecular structure of 1-p-bromophenyl-4-p-toluoyl-1, 3-dihydro-5H-[1,3]oxazino[4,3-c][1,4]benzoxazine-3,5-dione

Thermal decarboxylation of 3-p-toluoyl-1,2-dihydro-4H-pyrrolo[5,1-c][1,4]benzoxazine-1, 2,4-trione resulted in 2-oxo-2H-1,4-benzoxazin-3-yl(p-toluoyl)ketene; the latter under-goes [4+2]-cycloaddition withp-bromobenzaldehyde to form 1-p-bromophenyl-4-p-toluoyl-1, 3-dihydro-5H-[1,3]oxazino[4,3-c][1,4] benzoxazine-3,5-dione. The crystal and molecular structure of the latter has been studied by X-ray analysis.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk. Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 9, pp. 1633–1636, September, 1993.

Novel synthesis modes and properties of [1,4]benzodioxinopyridazines

A simple synthesis involving fusion of catechol and derivatives with 3,4,5-trichloropyridazine has furnished 4-chloro[1,4]benzodioxino[2,3-c]pyridazines 5 for the first time. This new method complements the previously reported base promoted procedure for preparing 4-chloro[1,4]benzodioxino-[2,3-d]pyridazines 3 . Employing both methods, 4-(trifluoromethyl)catechol was converted to the four regio isomers 3b,c and 5c,d . Structure assignment of these four was aided by the remarkably consistent influence of the pyridazine 4-chlorine substituent and diazo-linkage in inducing ¹H nmr downfield shifts of their nearest neighbor phenyl ring protons. Finally, contrary to what might be expected from previously reported results, reaction of methoxide with either 3 or 5 , gave chlorine substitution with formation of methoxybenzodioxinopyridazines 6 and 7 respectively. However, these reactions both give what appears to be an unprecedented rearrangement, with conversion of [2,3-c]-pyridazine to [2,3-d]pyridazine, and vice versa.     

Chemistry of acyl(imidoyl)ketenes

2-Oxo-2H-1,4-benzoxazin-3-yl-(2,4,6-trimethylbenzoyl)ketene, which is generated upon thermal decarbonylation of 3-(2,4,6-trimethylbenzoyl)pyrrolo[2,1-c][1,4]benzoxazine-1,2,4-trione, undergoes dimerization through [4+2] cycloaddition to give 2-(2-oxo-2H-1,4-benzoxazin-3-yl)-4-(2,4,6-trimethylbenzoyl)-3-(2,4,6-trimethylbenzoyloxy)pyrido[2,1-c]-[1,4]benzoxazine-1,5-dione. The resulting compounds formed a crystal solvate withp-xylene, whose crystal and molecular structure was established by X-ray diffraction analysis.     

New approaches to synthesis of tris[1,2,4]triazolo[1,3,5]triazines

Thermal cyclization of 3-R-5-chloro-1,2,4-triazoles (R = Cl, Ph) afforded 2,6,10-tri-R- tris[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a:1′,5′c:1″,5″-e][1,3,5]triazines 5 (R = Ph) and 7 (R = Cl). These compounds are first representatives of this class of heterocycles, whose structures were unambiguously established. Treatment of these compounds with nucleophiles (H₂O/NaOH, NH₃) results in the triazine ring opening to give compounds consisting of three 1,2,4-triazole rings linked in a chain. For example, treatment of cyclic compound 5 with aqueous alkali affords 3-phenyl-1-3-phenyl-1-(3-phenyl-1H-1,2,4-triazol-5-yl)-1,2,4-triazol-5-yl-1H-1,2,4-triazol-5-one. Treatment of 3,7,11-triphenyltris[1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a:4′,3′c:4″,3″-e][1,3,5]triazine (2) with HCl/SbCl₅ leads to the triazine ring opening giving rise to 5-(3-chloro-5-phenyl-1,2,4-triazol-4-yl)-3-phenyl-4-(5-phenyl-1H-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)-1,2,4-triazole. Thermal cyclization of the latter produces 3,7,10-triphenyltris[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a:4′,3′c:4″,3″-e][1,3,5]triazine (13). Thermolysis of both cyclic compound 2 and cyclic compound 13 is accompanied by the Dimroth rearrangement to yield 3,6,10-triphenyl-tris[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a:1′, 5′-c:4″,3″-e][1,3,5]triazine (14). Compounds 13 and 14 are the first representatives of cyclic compounds with this skeleton. ¹³C NMR spectroscopy allows the determination of the isomer type in a series of tris[1,2,4]triazolo[1,3,5]triazines.__________Published in Russian in Izvestiya Akademii Nauk.
