Unequivocal syntheses of 6-methyl- and 6-phenylisoxanthopterin

Although 6-methyl- ( 1 ) and 6-phenylisoxanthopterin ( 2 ) have previously been synthesized, the requirement of high purity necessary for immunological testing has necessitated our development of the first reported synthesis of these compounds by unequivocal methods. In the process of so doing four new pyrazines, ethyl 3-amino-5-chloro-6-methyl-2-pyrazinecarboxylate ( 11 ), N,N-dimethyl-N'-(6-chloro-3-cyano-5-phenylpyrazin-2-yl)methanimidamide ( 16 ), 2-amino-3-ethoxycarbonyl-5-phenylpyrazine 1-oxide ( 19 ), and ethyl 3-amino-5-chloro-6-phenyl-2-pyrazinecarboxylate ( 20 ) were synthesized. Four new pteridines, 7-methoxy-6-methyl-2,4-pteridinediamine ( 7 ), 7-methoxy-6-phenyl-2,4-pteridinediamine ( 17 ), 2-amino-7-ethoxy-6-methyl-4(3H)-pteridinone ( 12 ), and 2-amino-7-ethoxy-6-phenyl-4(3H)-pteridinone ( 21 ) have also been synthesized enroute to these isoxanthopterins.     

Synthesis of 2′-deoxyribofuranosyl indole nucleosides related to the antibiotics SF-2140 and neosidomycin

The 2′-deoxyribofuranose analog of the naturally occurring antibiotics SF-2140 and neosidomycin were prepared by the direct glycosylation of the sodium salts of the appropriate indole derivatives, with 1-chloro-2- deoxy-3,5-di-O-p-toluoyl-α-D-erythropentofuranose ( 5 ). Thus, treatment of the sodium salt of 4-methoxy-1H- indol-3-ylacetonitrile ( 4a ) with 5 provided the blocked nucleoside, 4-methoxy-1-(2-deoxy-3,5-di-O-p-toluoyl-β- D-erythropentofuranosyl)-1H-indol-3-ylacetonitrile ( 6a ), which was treated with sodium methoxide to yield the SF-2140 analog, 4-methoxy-1-(2-deoxy-β-D-erythropentofuranosyl)-1H-indol-3- ylacetonitrile ( 7a ). The neosidomycin analog ( 8 ) was prepared by treatment of the sodium salt of 1H-indol-3-ylacetonitrile ( 4b ) with 5 to obtain the blocked intermediate 1-(2-deoxy-3,5-di-O-p-toluoyl-β-D-erythropentofuranosyl) ?1H-indol-3-ylace-tonitrile ( 6b ) followed by sodium methoxide treatment to give 1-(2-deoxy-β-D-erythropentofuranosyl)-1H- indol-3-ylacetonitrile ( 7b ) and finally conversion of the nitrile function of 7b to provide 1-(2-deoxy-β-D- erythropentofuranosyl)-1H-indol-3-ylacetamide ( 8 ). In a similar manner, indole ( 9a ) and several other substituted indoles including 1H-indole-4-carbonitrile ( 9b ), 4-nitro-1H-indole ( 9c ), 4-chloro-1H-indole-2-carboxamide ( 9d ) and 4-chloro-1H-indole-2-carbonitrile ( 9e ) were each glycosylated and deprotected to provide 1-(2-deoxy-β-D-erythropentofuranosyl)-1H-indole ( 11a ), 1-(2-deoxy-β-D-erythropentofuranosyl)-1H-indole-4- carbonitrile ( 11b ), 4-nitro-1-(2-deoxy-β-D-erythropentofuranosyl)-1H-indole ( 11c ), 4-chloro-1-(2-deoxy-β-D- erythropentofuranosyl)-1H-indole-2-carboxamide ( 11d ) and 4-chloro-1-(2-deoxy-β-D-erythropentofuranosyl)- 1H-indole-2-carbonitrile ( 11e ), respectively. The 2′-deoxyadenosine analog in the indole ring system was prepared for the first time by reduction of the nitro group of 11c using palladium on carbon thus providing 4-amino-1-(2-deoxy-β-D-erythropentofuranosyl)- 1H-indole ( 16 , 1,3,7-trideaza-2′-deoxyadenosine).

The reactions of 4-methoxy-3′-alkylthio-3,4′-diquinolinyl sulfides 1 or 1,4-dihydro-4-oxo-3′-alkylthio-3,4′-diquinolinyl sulfides 3 with phosphoryl chloride in DMF afforded 4-chloro-3′-alkylthio-3,4′-diquinolinyl sulfides 5 . Treatment of the title compounds 1 or 3 with boiling phosphoryl chloride systems:leads to 4-chloro-3-(alkylthio)quinolines 6 and thioquinanthrene but those of alkoxy- or oxo-quinolines 2 or 4 lead to 4-chloro-3-(alkylthio)quinolines 6 . The reactions of N-methyl-4(1H)-quinolinones 3n and 4n with phosphoryl chloride directed to 4-chloro-3-(alkylthio)quinolines 6 were studied as well.

Nucleophilic displacement of the chloro groups and removal of the benzoyl blocking groups from 5 has furnished 3-chloro-4-methoxy-, 3,4-dimethoxy-, 4-amino-3-chloro-, 3-chloro-4-methylamino-, 3-chloro-4-hydroxy-, and 4-hydroxy-3-methoxy-1-β- D -ribofuranosylpyridazin-6-one. An unusual reaction of 5 with dimethylamine is reported. Condensation of 4,5-dichloro-3-nitro-6-[(trimethylsilyl)oxy]pyridazine with 4 yielded 4,5-dichloro-3-nitro-1-(2,3,5-tri-O-benzoyl-β- D -ribofuranosyl)pyridazin-6-one ( 24 ). Nucleophilic displacement of the aromatic nitro groups from 24 is discussed. Condensation of 3 with 3,5-di-O-p-toluoyl 2-deoxy- D -erythro-pentofuranosyl chloride ( 28 ) afforded an α, β mixture of 2-deoxy nucleosides. The synthesis of certain 3-substituted pyridazine 2′-deoxy necleosides are reported.

Cycloaddition of dichloroketene to N,N-disubstituted (E)-amino-5-methyl-1,4-hexadien-3-ones IV and (E,E)-1-amino-5-phenyl-1,4-pentadien-3-ones V occurred in moderate to good yield only in the case of aromatic N-substitution to give N,N-disubstituted 4-amino-3,3-dichloro-3,4-dihydro-6-(2-methyl-l-propenyl) (2-phenylethenyl)-2H-pyran-2-ones, which were dehydrochlorinated with DBN to afford in good yield N,N-disubstituted 4-amino-3-chloro-6-(2-methyl-propenyl)(2-phenylethenyl)-2H-pyran-2-ones. In the case of aliphatic N,N-disubstitution (dimethylamino group) of enaminones IV and V, the Cycloaddition led directly in low yield to 3-chloro-4-dimethylamino-6-(2-methyl-l-propenyl)(2-phenylethenyl)-2H-pyran-2-ones.

Nucleophilic substitution of 6β-chloro-7,8-didehydro-4,5α-epoxy-3-methoxy-17-methylmorphinan ( 1 ) and 8α-bromo-6,7-didehydro-4,5α-epoxy-3-methoxy-17-methylmorphinan ( 2 ) with lithium cyano(methyl)- and (aryl)cyanocuprates(I) ( 5a–c ) was accompanied by allylic rearrangement with both change and retention of orientation of the substituting group (Scheme 1, Table 1). Nucleophilic substitution in 7,8-didehydro-4,5α-epoxy-3-methoxy-17-methylmorphinan-6α-yl methanesulfonate ( 3 ) and 7,8-didehydro-4,5α-epoxy-3-methoxy-17-methylmorphinan-6β-yl methanesulfonate ( 4 ) proceeded without allylic rearrangement with both change and retention of the orientation of the substituting group (Scheme 2, Table 1). X-Ray diffraction studies of the products 6,7-didehydro-4,5α-epoxy-3-methoxy-17-methyl-8α-phenylmorphinan ( 6b ) and 7,8-didehydro-4,5α-epoxy-3-methoxy-17-methyl-6β-phenylmorphinan ( 7b ) were carried out (Figs. 1 and 2).     

An unexpected preparation of 4-oxo-2H-1,3-benzothiazines

Treatment of compound N,N-(dithiobis(3-chloro-2,1-phenylene)dicarbonylbis (N-cyclopentylglycine)diethyl ester (3) with methanolic sodium hydroxide does not produce the expected hydrolysis product N,N-(dithiobis-(3-chloro-2,1-phenylene)dicarbonylbis (N-cylcopentylglycine) (4) but yields a mixture of compounds 8-chloro-3-cyclopentyl-3,4-dihydro-4-oxo-2H-1,3-benzothiazine-2-carboxylic acid (6) and N-(3-chloro-2-mercaptobenzoyl)-N-cyclopentylglycine (7). This unexpected observation has the potential of a new heterocyclic synthesis method for the 4-oxo-2H-1,3-benzothiazine class of compounds.     

Potential DNA bis-intercalating agents. Bridged bis-(6-chloropurines) and related compounds

Two bis-(6-chloropurines) bridged by conformationally restricted tethers were synthesized as potential DNA bis-intercalating agents. Reduction of 4,6-dichloro-5-nitropyrimidine ( 1 ) afforded 5-amino-4,6-dichloropyrimidine ( 2 ) which was then used as the starting material. Reaction of 2 with 4,4′-diaminodiphenylmethane ( 3 ) and bis-(4-aminophenyl) ether ( 4 ) yielded bis-[4-(N-5-amino-4-chloro-6-pyrimidyl)aminophenyl]methane ( 5 ) and bis-[4-(N-5-amino-4-chloro-6-pyrimidyl)aminophenyl] ether ( 6 ), respectively. Acid-catalyzed condensation of the above pyrimidines, 5 and 6 , with triethyl orthoformate in N,N-dimethylacetamide gave bis-[4-(6-chloro-9-purinyl)phenyl]methane ( 7 ) and bis-[4-(6-chloro-9-purinyl)phenyl] ether ( 8 ). The spectral data on the new compounds will be discussed.

Treatment of 2,3-dichloroquinoxalines with 2-amino-6-picoline-3-thiol gave a mixture of 2,3-bis(2-amino-6-picolinyl-3-thio)quinoxalines ( 16 , R = H, CI) and 2,3-bis (N,N-dimethylamino)quinoxalines ( 15 , R = H, CI) separated by fractional crystallization. A similar reaction of 3-amino-6-methoxypyridine-2(1H)-thione ( 9 ) with 4,5-dichloropyridazin-3(2H)-one ( 21 ) gave 4-chloro-5-(3-amino-6-methoxypyridyl-2-thio)pyridazin-3(2H)-one ( 22 ). Concentrated hydrochloric acid-catalysed cyclization of 22 gave the non-rearranged 7-methoxy-2,3,6-triazaphenothiazin-1(2H)-one. The action of compound 22 in refluxing glacial acetic acid gave, on the other hand, 7-methoxy-2,3,6-triazaphenothiazin-4(3H)-one via a Smiles rearrangement. These cyclized compounds are the first known derivatives of the new 2,3,6-triazaphenothiazine ring system.     

Syntheses of 6,8-disubstituted-9-β-D-ribofuranosylpurine 3′,5′-cyclic phosphates

A series of 6,8-disubstituted-9-β-D-ribofuranosylpurine 3′,5′-cyclic phosphates were prepared employing preformed 9-β-D-ribofuranosylpurine 3′,5′-cyclic phosphate precursors. Three synthetic approaches were utilized to accomplish the syntheses. The first approach involved a study of the order of nucleophilic substitution, 6 vs 8, of the intermediate 6,8-dichloro-9-β-D-ribofuranosyipurine 3′,5′-cyclic phosphates ( 2 ) with various nucleophilic agents to yield 8-amino-6-chloro-, 8-chloro-6-(diethylamino)-, 6-chloro-8-(diethylamino)-, 6,8-bis-(diethylamino)- and 8-(benzylthio)-6-chloro-9-β-D-ribofuranosylpurine 3′,5′-cyclic phosphate (4, 9, 10, 11, 13) respectively and 6-chloro-9-β-D-ribofuranosylpurin-8-one 3′,5′-cyclic phosphate ( 5 ) and 8-amino-9-β-D-ribofuranosylpurine-6-thione 3′,5′-cyclic phosphate ( 6 ). The order of substitution was compared to similar substitutions on 6,8-dichloropurines and 6,8-dichloropurine nucleosides. The second scheme utilized nucleophilic substitution of 6-chloro-8-substituted-9-β-D-ribofuranosylpurine 3′,5′-cyclic, phosphates obtained from the corresponding 8-subslituted inosine 3′,5′-cyclic phosphates by phosphoryl chloride, 6,8-bis-(benzylthio)-, 6-(diethylamino)-8-(benzylthio),8-(p-chlorophenylthio(-6-(diethylamino)- and 6,8-bis-(methyl-thio)-9-β-D-ribofuranosylpurine 3′,5′-cyclic phosphates ( 14, 12, 20 , and 21 ) respectively, were prepared in this manner. The final scheme involved N¹-alkylation of an 8-substituted adenosine 3′,5′-cyclic phosphate followed by a Dimroth rearrangement to give 6-(benzylamino)-8-(methylthio)- and 6-(benzylamino)-8-bromo-9-β-D-ribofuranosylpurine 3′,5′-cyclic phosphate ( 24 and 25 ).     

Pyrrolopyrimidine nucleosides. IV. The synthesis of certain 4,5-disubstituted-7-(β-d-ribofuranosyl)pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidines related to the pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidine nucleoside antibiotics

The treatment of 4-chloro-7-(2′,3′,5′-tri-O-acetyl-β-D-ribofuranosyl)pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidine ( 4 ) with N-bromoacetamide in methylene chloride has furnished the 5-bromo derivative of 4 which on subsequent deacetylation provided a good yield of 5-bromo-4-chloro-7-(β-D-ribo-furanosyl)pyrrolo[2,3-d] pyrimidine ( 6 ). Assignment of the halogen substituent to position 5 was made on the basis of pmr studies. Treatment of 6 with methanolic ammonia afforded 4-amino-5-bromo-7-(β-D-ribofuranosyl)pyrrolo[2,3-d ]pyrimidine ( 8 , 5-bromotubercidin) and a subsequent study has revealed that the 4-chloro group of 6 was replaced preferentially in a series of nucleophilic displacement reactions. The analogous synthesis of 4,5-dichloro-7-(β-D-ribo-furanosyl)pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidine ( 13b ) and 4-chloro-5-iodo-7-(β-D-ribofuranosyl)pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidine ( 13a ) from 4 furnished 5-chlorotubercidin ( 15 ) and 5-iodotubercidin ( 14 ), respectively, on treatment of 13b and 13a with methanolic ammonia. The possible biochemical significance of these tubercidin derivatives is discussed.

Cycloaddition of dichloroketene to N,N-disubstituted 1-amino-4-methyl-1-penten-3-ones and 1-amino-4,4-dimethyl-1-penten-3-ones occurred in moderate to fair yield only in the case of aromatic N-substitution to give N,N-disubstituted 6-alkyl-4-amino-3,3-dichloro-3,4-dihydro-2H-pyran-2-ones, which were dehydrochlorinated with DBN to afford in good yield N,N-disubstituted 6-alkyl-4-amino-3-chloro-2H-pyran-2-ones. In the case of aliphatic N,N-disubstitution, cyclo-addition led directly to 6-alkyl-4-dialkylamino-3-chloro-2H-pyran-2-ones only for N,N-disubstituted 1-amino-4,4-dimethyl-1-penten-3-ones. The reaction between 1-dimethylamino-4-methyl-1-penten-3-one and dichloroketene gave 3-chloro-4-dimethylamino-3,6-dihydro-6-isopropylidene-2H-pyran-2-one in low yield.     

Oxidation of 3-hydroxykynurenine. A reexamination

The oxidation mixture of 3-hydroxykynurenine ( 1 ), treated with aqueous acetic anhydride and, subsequently, with acidic methanol, yields the 1-hydroxy-3-carbomethoxy-5-methoxy-11-(β-aspartoyl-N-acetyl-methyl ester)pyrido[3,2-a]phenoxazine ( 5 ), the 1-hydroxy-11-(β-aspartoyl-N-acetyl-methyl ester)-5.H-pyrido[3,2-a]-phenoxazin-5-one ( 6 ), the 1-methoxy-11-(β-aspartoyl-N-acetyl-methyl ester)-5H-pyrido[3,2-a]phenoxazin-5-one ( 6a ), the l,5-dimethoxy-11-(β-aspartoyl-N-acetyl-methyl ester)pyrido[3,2-a]phenoxazine ( 7 ) and the 1-methyl-1(1′-[11-(β-aspartoyl-methyl esterimino)]ethenyl)ketal-1H,5H-pyrido[3,2-a]phenoxazin-5-one ( 8 ). A probable scheme, for the compound formation, is reported.     

Reaction of ketenes with N,N-disubstituted α-aminomethyleneketones. XI. Synthesis of 2H-pyrano[3,2-g]benzothiazole derivatives

Cycloaddition of dichloroketene to N,N-disubstituted 6-aminomethylene-5,6-dihydro-2-phenylbenzothiazol-7-(4H)ones gave in good yield N,N-disubstituted 4-amino-3,3-dichloro-3,4,5,6-tetrahydro-8-phenyl-2H-pyrano[3,2-g]benzothiazol-2-ones II, which are derivatives of the new heterocyclic system 2H-pyrano[3,2-g]benzothiazole. Dehydrochlorination with triethylamine of II afforded N,N-disubstituted 4-amino-3-chloro-5,6-dihydro-8-phenyl-2H-pyrano[3,2-g]benzothiazol-2-ones III in good to moderate yield. The dimethylamino adduct was dehydrochlorinated in high yield by refluxing in toluene, whereas the diisopropylamino adduct gave in low yield 6-(2,2-dichloroethylidene)-5,6-dihydro-2-phenylbenzothiazol-7-(4H)one with the triethylamine treatment. The dehydrochlorinated product IIId (NR₂ = pyrrolidino) was obtained directly in low yield by cycloaddition of dichloroketene to the corresponding enaminone. Full aromatisation of IIIa,g [NR₂ = N(CH₃)₂ and N(CH₃)C₆H₅, respectively] to the corresponding N,N-disubstituted 4-amino-3-chloro-8-phenyl-2H-pyrano-[3,2-g]benzothiazol-2-ones was accomplished with DDQ in refluxing benzene.     

Derivatives Of ditraizinylamine and tritriazinylamine

2-Arylamino-4,6-dichloro-s-triazine reacts with cyanuric chloride in the presence of alkali to yield N,N-bis(4,6-dichloro-s-triazin-2-yl)-arylamine. In like manner, 2-substituted o-chloro-, p-chloro-, o-nitro- and p-carbomethoxyphenylamino-4,6-dimethoxy-s-triazines react with cyanuric chloride to yield the corresponding 4,6-dichloro-s-triazin-2-yl-4′,6′-dimethoxy-s-triazin-2′-ylaryl-amine, while anilino-, p-toluidino, o- and p-methoxyphenylamino and o-carbomethoxyphenylamino derivatives did not. The reaction of cyanuric chloride with 2,4-dichloro-6-ethylamino-s-triazine in the presence of alkali yields the condensation product of the ditriazinylamine type and the reaction of cyanuric chloride with ammonia yields N,N-bis(4,6-dichloro-s-triazin-2-yl)- or tris(4,6-dichloro-s-triazin-2-yl)amine.
