rac‐5‐Diphenylacetyl‐2,2,4‐trimethyl‐2,3,4,5‐tetrahydro‐1,5‐benzothiazepine and rac‐5‐formyl‐2,2,4‐trimethyl‐2,3,4,5‐tetrahydro‐1,5‐benzothiazepine

rac‐5‐Diphenylacetyl‐2,2,4‐trimethyl‐2,3,4,5‐tetrahydro‐1,5‐benzothiazepine, C₂₆H₂₇NOS, (I), and rac‐5‐formyl‐2,2,4‐trimethyl‐2,3,4,5‐tetrahydro‐1,5‐benzothiazepine, C₁₃H₁₇NOS, (II), are both characterized by a planar configuration around the heterocyclic N atom. In contrast with the chair conformation of the parent benzothiazepine, which has no substituents at the heterocyclic N atom, the seven‐membered ring adopts a boat conformation in (I) and a conformation intermediate between boat and twist‐boat in (II). The molecules lack a symmetry plane, indicating distortions from the perfect boat or twist‐boat conformations. The supramolecular architectures are significantly different, depending in (I) on C—H...O interactions and intermolecular S...S contacts, and in (II) on a single aromatic π–π stacking interaction.     

New routes to 1‐functionally substituted arylbenzotriazoles: 3‐Benzotriazol‐1‐yl‐pyridazine‐4‐ones, 5‐benzotriazol‐1‐yl‐pyridazine‐6‐ones and 5‐benzotriazol‐1‐yl‐pyridazine‐6‐imines

The reaction of 1 with dibenzoylmethane, a dicarbonyl compound, provided ethyl 3‐benzoyl‐4‐oxo‐2,6‐diphenylpyran‐5‐carboxylate derivative 9 . Compound 9 was converted into the corresponding ethyl 3‐benzoyl‐4‐hydroxy‐2,6‐diphenylpyridine‐5‐carboxylate derivative 10 via its reaction with ammonium hydroxyde solution in 1 ‐butanol.     

Synthesis of 1‐Amino‐5,6‐diaryl‐3‐cyano‐1H‐pyridin‐2‐ones and 6,7‐Diaryl‐4‐cyano‐3‐hydroxy‐1H‐[1,2]diazepines from Isoflavones

The one‐step cyclocondensation of substituted isoflavones (=3‐phenyl‐4H‐1‐benzopyran‐4‐ones) with cyanoacetohydrazide in the presence of KOH afforded a mixture of 1‐amino‐5,6‐diaryl‐3‐cyano‐1H‐2‐pyridin‐2‐ones and 6,7‐diaryl‐4‐cyano‐3‐hydroxy‐1H‐[1,2]diazepines.

tert‐Butyl (6S)‐4‐hydroxy‐6‐isobutyl‐2‐oxo‐1,2,5,6‐tetra­hydropyridine‐1‐carboxyl­ate and tert‐butyl (4R,6S)‐4‐hydroxy‐6‐iso­butyl‐2‐oxopiperidine‐1‐carboxyl­ate

X‐ray studies reveal that tert‐butyl (6S)‐6‐iso­butyl‐2,4‐dioxo­piperidine‐1‐carboxyl­ate occurs in the 4‐enol form, viz. tert‐butyl (6S)‐4‐hydroxy‐6‐iso­butyl‐2‐oxo‐1,2,5,6‐tetra­hydropyri­dine‐1‐carboxyl­ate, C₁₄H₂₃NO₄, when crystals are grown from a mixture of di­chloro­methane and pentane, and has an axial orientation of the iso­butyl side chain at the 6‐position of the piperidine ring. Reduction of the keto functionality leads predominantly to the corresponding β‐hydroxy­lated δ‐lactam, tert‐butyl (4R,6S)‐4‐hydroxy‐6‐iso­butyl‐2‐oxo­piperidine‐1‐car­boxyl­ate, C₁₄H₂₅NO₄, with a cis configuration of the 4‐hydroxy and 6‐iso­butyl groups. The two compounds show similar molecular packing driven by strong O—H⋯O=C hydrogen bonds, leading to infinite chains in the crystal structure.

As part of the structure‐activity relationship of the dopamine D₂ and serotonin 5‐HT₃ receptors antagonist 1, which is a clinical candidate with a broad antiemetic activity, the synthesis and dopamine D₂ and serotonin 5‐HT₃ receptors binding affinity of (R)‐5‐bromo‐N‐(1‐ethyl‐3‐methylhexahydro‐1,3‐diazin‐5‐yl)‐ and (R)‐5‐bromo‐N‐(1‐ethyl‐5‐methyloctahydro‐1,5‐diazocin‐3‐yl)‐2‐methoxy‐6‐methylaminopyridine‐3‐carboxam‐ides ( 2 and 3 ) are described. Treatment of 1‐ethyl‐2‐(p‐toluenesulfonyl)amino‐3‐methylaminopropane dihy‐drochloride ( 4a ) with paraformaldehyde and successive deprotection gave the 5‐aminohexahydro‐1,3‐diazine 6 in excellent yield. 3‐Amino‐1‐ethyl‐5‐methyloctahydro‐1,5‐diazocine ( 15 ) was prepared from 2‐(benzyloxycarbonyl)amino‐3‐[[N‐(tert‐butoxycarbonyl)‐N‐methyl]amino]‐1‐ethylaminopropane ( 9 ) through the intramolecular amidation of (R)‐3‐[N‐[(2‐benzyloxycarbonylamino‐3‐methylamino)propyl]‐N‐ethyl]aminopropionic acid trifluoroacetate ( 12 ), followed by lithium aluminum hydride reduction of the resulting 6‐oxo‐1‐ethyl‐5‐methyloctahydrodiazocine ( 13 ) in 41% yield. Reaction of the amines 6 and 15 with 5‐bromo‐2‐methoxy‐6‐methylaminopyridine‐3‐carboxylic acid furnished the desired 2 and 3 , which showed much less potent affinity for dopamine D₂ receptors than 1 .

The proposed procedure allowed us to easily obtain 4 in two stages, using common reagents. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

An Innovative Protocol for the Synthesis of 3‐(Pyridin‐2‐yl)‐5‐sec‐aminobiphenyl‐4‐carbonitriles and 9,10‐Dihydro‐3‐(pyridine‐2‐yl)‐1‐sec‐aminophenanthrene‐2‐carbonitriles

Herein, we present an innovative, novel, and highly convenient protocol for the synthesis of 3‐(pyridin‐2‐yl)‐5‐sec‐aminobiphenyl‐4‐carbonitriles ( 6a , 6b , 6c , 6d , 6e , 6f , 6g ) and 9,10‐dihydro‐3‐(pyridine‐2‐yl)‐1‐sec‐aminophenanthrene‐2‐carbonitriles ( 10a , 10b , 10c , 10d , 10e ), which have been delineated from the reaction of 4‐sec‐amino‐2‐oxo‐6‐aryl‐2H‐pyran‐3‐carbonitrile ( 4a , 4b , 4c , 4d , 4e , 4f , 4g ) and 4‐sec‐amino‐2‐oxo‐5,6‐dihydro‐2H‐benzo[h]chromene‐3‐carbonitriles ( 9a , 9b , 9c , 9d , 9e ) with 2‐acetylpyridine ( 5 ) through the ring transformation reaction by using KOH/DMF system at RT. The salient feature of this procedure is to provide a transition metal‐free route for the synthesis of asymmetrical 1,3‐teraryls like 3‐(pyridin‐2‐yl)‐5‐sec‐aminobiphenyl‐4‐carbonitriles ( 6a , 6b , 6c , 6d , 6e , 6f , 6g ) and 9,10‐dihydro‐3‐(pyridine‐2‐yl)‐1‐sec‐aminophenanthrene‐2‐carbonitriles ( 10a , 10b , 10c , 10d , 10e ). The novelty of the reaction lies in the creation of an aromatic ring from 2H‐pyran‐2‐ones and 2H‐benzo[h]chromene‐3‐carbonitriles via two‐carbon insertion from 2‐acetylpyridine ( 5 ) used as a source of carbanion.     

Preparation of 2‐phenyl‐2‐hydroxymethyl‐4‐oxo‐1,2,3,4‐tetrahydroquinazoline and 2‐methyl‐4‐oxo‐3,4‐dihydroquinazoline derivatives formation

The cyclization of phenacyl anthranilate has been studied with the aim to develop the synthesis of 2‐(2′‐aminophenyl)‐4‐phenyloxazole. However, a different course of the reaction than expected was observed. 2‐Phenyl‐2‐hydroxymethyl‐4‐oxo‐1,2,3,4‐tetrahydroquinazoline ( 3a ) was formed by the reaction of phenacyl anthranilate ( 2 ) with ammonium acetate under various conditions. 3‐Hydroxy‐2‐phenyl‐4(1H)‐quinolinone ( 4 ) arose by heating compound 3a in acetic acid. The same compound was obtained by melting compound 3a , but the yield was lower. Different types of products resulted in the reaction of compound 3a with acetic anhydride. Under mild conditions acetylated products 2‐acetoxymethyl‐2‐phenyl‐4‐oxo‐1,2,3,4‐tetrahydroquinazoline ( 7a ) and 2‐acetoxymethyl‐3‐acetyl‐2‐phenyl‐4‐oxo‐1,2,3,4‐tetrahydroquinazoline ( 8 ) were prepared. If the reaction was carried out under reflux of the reaction mixture, molecular rearrangement took place to give cis and trans 2‐methyl‐4‐oxo‐3‐(1‐phenyl‐2‐acetoxy)vinyl‐3,4‐dihydroquinazolines ( 9a and 9b ). All prepared compounds have been characterised by their ¹H, ¹³C and ¹⁵N NMR spectra, IR spectra and MS.

Some new target products 5‐aryl‐4,5‐dihydro‐3‐(5‐methyl‐1‐p‐tolyl‐1H‐1,2,3‐triazol‐4‐yl)‐1‐(4‐phenylthiazol‐2‐yl)pyrazoles 5a , 5b , 5c , 5d , 5e , 5f , 5g , 5h , 5i , 5j have been synthesized by reaction of 2‐bromo‐1‐phenylethanone and compounds 4a , 4b , 4c , 4d , 4e , 4f , 4g , 4h , 4i , 4j which were prepared from the combination of thiosemicarbazide and (E)‐3‐aryl‐1‐(5‐methyl‐1‐p‐tolyl‐1H‐1,2,3‐triazol‐4‐yl)‐prop‐2‐en‐1‐ones 3a , 3b , 3c , 3d , 3e , 3f , 3g , 3h , 3i , 3j . All the structures were established by MS, IR, CHN, and ¹H NMR spectra data. Synthesis of structure diversity is applied. J. Heterocyclic Chem., (2011).

The molecules of N‐(3‐tert‐butyl‐1‐phenyl‐1H‐pyrazol‐5‐yl)‐2‐chloro‐N‐(4‐methoxybenzyl)acetamide, C₂₃H₂₆ClN₃O₂, are linked into a chain of edge‐fused centrosymmetric rings by a combination of one C—H...O hydrogen bond and one C—H...π(arene) hydrogen bond. In N‐(3‐tert‐butyl‐1‐phenyl‐1H‐pyrazol‐5‐yl)‐2‐chloro‐N‐(4‐chlorobenzyl)acetamide, C₂₂H₂₃Cl₂N₃O, a combination of one C—H...O hydrogen bond and two C—H...π(arene) hydrogen bonds, which utilize different aryl rings as the acceptors, link the molecules into sheets. The molecules of S‐[N‐(3‐tert‐butyl‐1‐phenyl‐1H‐pyrazol‐5‐yl)‐N‐(4‐methylbenzyl)carbamoyl]methyl O‐ethyl carbonodithioate, C₂₆H₃₁N₃O₂S₂, are also linked into sheets, now by a combination of two C—H...O hydrogen bonds, both of which utilize the amide O atom as the acceptor, and two C—H...π(arene) hydrogen bonds, which utilize different aryl groups as the acceptors.
