Reaction of ketenes with N,N-disubstituted à-aminomethyleneketones. IX. Synthesis of 2H,5H-pyrano[3,2-c][1]benzopyran derivatives

Cycloaddition of dichloroketene to N,N-disubstituted 3-aminomethylene-4-chromanones gave in good yield N,N-disubstituted 4-amino-3,3-dichloro-3,4-dihydro-5H-pyrano[3,2-c][1]benzopyran-2-ones only in the case of aromatic N-substitution. Dehydrochlorination with triethylamine of these adducts afforded N,N-disubstituted 4-amino-3-chloro-5H-pyrano[3,2-c][1]benzopyran-2-ones in good to moderate yield. The cycloaddition to 3-dimethylaminomethylene-4-chromanone led directly to 3-chloro-4-dimethylamino-5H-pyrano[3,2-c][1]benzopyran-2-one.     

Some transformations of 3-amino-4-alkoxycarbonyl-6-hydroxy-2H-1-benzopyran-2-ones. The synthesis of [1] benzopyrano[3,4-d]-[1,3]oxazine and [1] benzopyrano[3,4-d]pyrimidine derivatives

Acylation of 4-alkoxycarbonyl-3-amino-6-hydroxy-2H-1-benzopyran-2-one derivatives 3 and 4 gave under mild conditions the O-substituted derivatives 5–10, N,O -disubstituted derivative 11 and N,N-disubstituted derivative 12 . The compound 4 was transformed with benzoyl chloride under more drastic conditions into 13 , a derivative of a new heterocyclic system 2-benzopyrano[3,4-d][1,3]oxazine. The derivatives of 1-benzopyrano-[3,4-d]pyrimidine 19 and 20 were prepared either from 3 and 4 through the corresponding N-heteroarylformamidines 14 and 15 and N-heteroarylformamide oximes 17 and 18 or by cyclization of thiourea derivative 20 .     

Arene imine derivatives of nitrogen heterocycles: 1a,9b-dihydrobenz[h]-azirino[f]quinoline, 1a,9b-dihydrobenz[f]azirino[h]quinoline and 1a,9b-dihydroazirino[f][1,10]phenanthroline

The syntheses of the K-imine derivatives of benzo[h]quinoline ( 1 ), benzo[f]quinoline ( 2 ) and 1,10-phenanthroline ( 3 ) are described. The parent nitrogen heterocycles were oxidized with sodium hypochlorite to the corresponding K-oxides, 4, 6 and 8 , which in turn were reacted with sodium azide. The resulting azido alcohols were then cyclized with triethyl phosphite to the title compounds 5, 7 and 9 . The oxirane ring cleavage in benzo[h]quinoline 5,6-oxide ( 4 ) and in benzo[f]quinoline 5,6-oxide ( 6 ) by sodium azide proceeded by the predicted regioselectivity: 4 gave trans-5-azido-5,6-dihydro-6-benzo[h]quinolinol ( 11 ) and trans-6-azido-5,6-dihydro-5-benzo[h]quinolinol ( 10 ) as the major and minor products respectively, and 6 yielded solely trans-6-azido-5,6-dihydro-5-benzo[f]quinolinol ( 12 ). The latter compound proved by X-ray analysis to crystallize as a hydrogen bonded dimer.     

Derivatives of benzo[4,5]cyclohepta[1,2-b]thiophene 3. Synthesis of 2,3,6,7-tetrahydro-3-oxobenzo[1,2]cyclohepta[3,4,5-hi]thieno[3,4-c]pyridine and 2,3,7,8-tetrahydro-3-oxothieno[2,1-b]cyclohepta[5,6,7-de]isoquinoline

The title compounds 3 and 4 were synthesized by cyclization via isocyanate of the Z and E-9,10-dihydro-4H-benzo[4,5]cyclohepta[1,2-b]thiophene-4-ylidenacetic acids 8 and 9 , which in turn were prepared by the Wadsworth-Emmons reaction of ketone 5 with triethyl phosphonacetate followed by separation and independent hydrolysis of the corresponding esters 6 and 7 . The structures of these new compounds as well as the configurations of their isomeric precursors are described.     

Synthesis of Some New 3-Alkylthio Derivatives of 1-Phenyl-1H-[1, 3, 4]thiadiazino[5, 6-b]quinoxalines

The synthesis of some new 3-(alkylthio)-1-phenyl-1H-[1, 3, 4]thiadiazino[5, 6-b]quinoxalines 4 have been achieved by cyclocondensation reaction of the alkyl-2-phenylhydrazinecarbodithioates 1 with 2,3-dichloroquinoxaline 2 in basic N,N-dimethylformamide.     

Sur quelques analogues fluores des [1] benzothiopyrano[4,3-b]indoles et des 6H[1] benzothiopyrano[4,3-b] quinoleines

2-, 3-, and 4-Fluorinated analogs of the carcinogenic [1]-benzothiopyrano[4,3-b]indoles and of 6H[1]benzothiopyrano-[4,3-b]quinolines have been synthesized from the corresponding fluorothiochromanones. Nmr spectral data (at 60 Mc) of the six base molecules are reported. Biological tests for the possible carcinogenic activity of these new compounds, currently under way, have already shown one of them to be a powerful sarcomagen.     

The synthesis of monomethoxy[1]benzothieno[2,3-c]quinolines

A series of monomethoxy[1]benzothieno[2,3-c]quinolines 24-28 were prepared by photocylization of the appropriate 3-chloro-N-phenylbenzo[b]thiophene-2-carboxamides 9–13 to [1]benzothieno[2,3-c]quinolin-6(5H)-ones 14-18 followed by chlorination to 6-chloro[1]benzothieno[2,3-c]quinolines 19-23 then dechlorination resulting in the title compounds except for 25 which was achieved by direct reduction of 15 . Reaction of 24-28 with methyl iodide provided the corresponding N-methyl quaternary salts 29-33 . Also, conversion of 4-meth-oxy[1]benzothieno[2,3-c]quinolin-6(5H)-one 16 to 4-methoxy-6-methylthio[1]benzothieno[2,3-c]quinoline 35 and 4,6-dimethoxy[1]benzothieno[2,3-c]quinoline 36 is described.     

Synthesis of [1]benzothienonaphthyridines

3-Chlorobenzo[b]thiophene-2-carbonyl chloride reacted readily with 2-amino-, 3-amino-, or 4-aminopyridine to give the corresponding amides. Photocyclization of the amides afforded the following lactams: [1]ben-zothieno[2,3-c][1,5]naphthyridin-6(5H)-one ( 14 ), [1]benzothieno[2,3-c][1,6]naphthyridin-6(5H)-one ( 7 ), [1]benzo-thieno[2,3-c][1,7]naphthyridin-6(5H)-one ( 11 ), and [1]benzothieno[2,3-c][1,8]naphthyridin-6(5H)-one ( 3 ). These lactams have been converted to other derivatives including in two instances the unsubstituted ring system.     

Generation of oxodiazonium ions 1. Synthesis of [1,2,5]oxadiazolo[3,4-c]cinnoline 5-oxides

Methods for the synthesis of [1,2,5]oxadiazolo[3,4-c]cinnoline 5-oxides, which include the reaction of 3-nitramino-4-(R-phenyl)furazans or their O-methyl derivatives with electrophilic agents, have been developed. Unsubstituted [1,2,5]oxadiazolo[3,4-c]cinnoline 5-oxide was synthesized from 3-nitramino-4-phenylfurazan upon the action of phosphorus anhydride or oleum, as well as from O-methyl derivative of 3-nitramino-4-phenylfurazan upon the action of H₂SO₄, MeSO₃H, CF₃CO₂H and BF₃·Et₂O, while 6-, 7-, 8-, and 9-nitro-substituted [1,2,5]oxadiazolo[3,4-c]cinnoline 5-oxides — from the corresponding 3-nitramino-4-(nitrophenyl)furazans upon the action of the H₂SO₄-HNO₃ nitrating mixture. A suggestion has been made that an oxodiazonium ion is formed in these reactions from nitramines or their O-methyl derivatives upon the action of electrophilic agents, which is further involved into the intra-molecular reaction of electrophilic aromatic substitution (S _EAr) with the aryl group. The structure of [1,2,5]oxadiazolo[3,4-c]cinnoline 5-N-oxides was confirmed by ¹H, ¹³C, and ¹⁴N NMR spectra. Theoretical studies by the B3LYP/6-311G(d,p) method of combined molecular system (O-methylated 3-nitramino-4-phenylfurazan + [H₃SO₄]⁺) resulted in calculation of thermodynamic parameters of the sequence of cascade elementary reactions leading to the formation of [1,2,5]oxadiazolo[3,4-c]cinnoline 5-oxide.     

Formation of Heptaleno[1,2-c]furans and Heptaleno[1,2-c]furanones

The dehydrogenation reaction of the heptalene-4,5-dimethanols 4a and 4d , which do not undergo the double-bond-shift (DBS) process at ambient temperature, with basic MnO₂ in CH₂Cl₂ at room temperature, leads to the formation of the corresponding heptaleno[1,2-c]furans 6a and 6d , respectively, as well as to the corresponding heptaleno[1,2-c]furan-3-ones 7a and 7d , respectively (cf. Scheme 2 and 8). The formation of both product types necessarily involves a DBS process (cf. Scheme 7). The dehydrogenation reaction of the DBS isomer of 4a , i.e., 5a , with MnO₂ in CH₂Cl₂ at room temperature results, in addition to 6a and 7a , in the formation of the heptaleno[1,2-c]-furan-1-one 8a and, in small amounts, of the heptalene-4,5-dicarbaldehyde 9a (cf. Scheme 3). The benzo[a]heptalene-6,7-dimethanol 4c with a fixed position of the C?C bonds of the heptalene skeleton, on dehydrogenation with MnO₂ in CH₂Cl₂, gives only the corresponding furanone 11b (Scheme 4). By [²H₂]-labelling of the methanol function at C(7), it could be shown that the furanone formation takes place at the stage of the corresponding lactol [3-²H₂]- 15b (cf. Scheme 6). Heptalene-1,2-dimethanols 4c and 4e , which are, at room temperature, in thermal equilibrium with their corresponding DBS forms 5c and 5e , respectively, are dehydrogenated by MnO₂ in CH₂Cl₂ to give the corresponding heptaleno[1,2-c]furans 6c and 6e as well as the heptaleno[1,2-c]furan-3-ones 7c and 7e and, again, in small amounts, the heptaleno[1,2-c]furan-1-ones 8c and 8e , respectively (cf. Scheme 8). Therefore, it seems that the heptalene-1,2-dimethanols are responsible for the formation of the furan-1-ones (cf. Scheme 7). The methylenation of the furan-3-ones 7a and 7e with Tebbe's reagent leads to the formation of the 3-methyl-substituted heptaleno[1,2-c]furans 23a and 23e , respectively (cf. Scheme 9). The heptaleno[1,2-c]furans 6a, 6d , and 23a can be resolved into their antipodes on a Chiralcel OD column. The (P)-configuration is assigned to the heptaleno[1,2-c]furans showing a negative Cotton effect at ca. 320 nm in the CD spectrum in hexane (cf. Figs. 3–5 as well as Table 7). The (P)-configuration of (–)- 6a is correlated with the established (P)-configuration of the dimethanol (–)- 5a via dehydrogenation with MnO₂. The degree of twisting of the heptalene skeleton of 6 and 23 is determined by the Me-substitution pattern (cf. Table 9). The larger the heptalene gauche torsion angles are, the more hypsochromically shifted is the heptalene absorption band above 300 nm (cf. Table 7 and 8, as well as Figs. 6–9).     

The synthesis of [1]benzothieno[2,3-c]quinolines, [1]benzothieno[2,3-c][1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]quinoline,and [1]benzothieno[2,3-c]tetrazolo[1,5-a]quinoline

Photocyclization of 3-chloro-N-phenylbenzo[b]thiophene-2-carboxamide 10 afforded [1]benzothieno[2,3-c]-quinolin-6(5H)-one 11 which was chlorinated to 6-chloro[1]benzothieno[2,3-c]quinoline 12 followed by dechlorination to give [1]benzothieno[2,3-c]quinoline 5 . A series of 6-substituted alkoxy and thioalkoxy[1]benzothieno[2,3-c]quinoline derivatives were prepared along with the N-methyl quaternary salt 13 of 5 . 6-Chloro[1]-benzothieno[2,3-c]quinoline 12 was converted into 6-hydrazino[1]benzothieno[2,3-c]quinoline 23 which upon treatment with formic acid yielded [1]benzothieno[2,3-c][1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]quinoline 6 . Treatment of 23 with nitrous acid resulted in [1]benzothieno[2,3-c]tetrazolo[1,5-a]quinoline 7 . Compounds 6 and 7 are novel heterocyclic ring systems.     

A facile synthesis of novel pyrazolo[5′,1′:3, 4]-[1, 2, 4]triazino[6, 5-f][1, 3, 4]thiadiazepines

The reaction of the 3-substituted 4-aminopyrazolo[5, 1-c][1, 2, 4]triazines 1a-d with thiosemicarbazide hydrochloride in acetic acid gave new pyrazolo[5′,1′:3, 4][1, 2, 4]triazino[6, 5-f][1, 3, 4]thiadiazepines 3, 4 and 6 , which were converted into the 5-oxo derivatives 5 and 7 by hydrolysis in hydrochloric acid/acetic acid.     

[1]Benzothienopyrimidines. II. Study of the electrophilic substitutions of [1]benzothieno[3,2-d]pyrimidine and [1]benzothieno[3,2-d]pyrimidin-4-(3H)one

The nitration and bromination of both [1]benzothieno[3,2-d]pyrimidin-4(3H)one ( 1 ) and [1]benzothieno-[3,2-d]pyrimidine ( 2 ) has been studied. Nitration of 1 at ?30° afforded a mixture of 8-nitro[1]benzothieno-[3,2-d]pyrimidin-4(3H)one ( 7b ) (70%) and 6-nitro[1]benzothieno[3,2-d]pyrimidin-4(3H)one ( 7a ) (30%). However when the nitration was carried out at 60°, the 6,8-dinitro derivative 8 was the result. On the contrary, the nitration of 2 at ?30° gave a single nitration product, 8-nitro[1]benzothieno[3,2-d]pyrimidine ( 11 ). The bromination of both 1 and 2 gave the corresponding 8-bromo derivatives 10 and 13 . Assignment of structure of all the products was based on ir and nmr spectral studies and on unequivocal syntheses.     

Synthesis of novel 3-carboethoxy-6-methyl-4-oxo-4H-pyrimido[1′,2′:5,6]-[1,3,5]triazino[1,2-a]benzimidazoles

Reaction of 4-amino-2-methylbenzimidazo[1,2-a][1,3,5]triazines 2 with diethyl ethoxymethylenemalonate afforded 3-carboethoxy-6-methyl-4-oxo-4H-pyrimido[1′,2′:5,6][1,3,5]triazino[1,2-a]benzimidazoles 3 , a new ring system.     

[1]Benzothienopyrimidines. I. Etude de la 3H-benzothieno[3,2-d]pyrimidone-4

3H-benzothieno[3,2-d]pyrimidin-4-one (3) was synthesized by bimolecular cyclising the 3-amino-2-carbethoxybenzothiophene (1) with formamide. The electrophilic substituion of 3 afforded N-methylated lactam derivavtives, the structure of which was assigned by 'H nmr and unequivocal synthesis. The sysnthesis of benzothieno[3,2-d]pyrimidine (7) was achieved by desulphurization of the 3H-benzothieno[3,2-d]-[3,2-d]pyrimisine-4-thione (6) or by oxydation of the 4-hydrazinobenzothieno[3,2-d]primidine (5).     

Inhibitors of platelet aggregation. 4. [1,2,5]Thiadiazolo[3,4-c]acridines, 7,8,9,10-Tetrahydro[1,2,5] thiadiazolo[3,4-c]acridities,and 8,9-Dihydro-7H-cyclopenta[b][1,2,5] thiadiazolo[3,4-H]quinolines

The condensation of 4-amino-2,1,3-benzothiadiazole (IV) with diphenyliodonium-2-earboxylate gave N-(2,1,3-benzothiadiazoI-4-yl)anthranilic acid (V) (28%), which was cyclized with phosphorus oxychloride to 6-chloro[1,2,5]thiadiazolo[3,4-c]acridine (VI) (84%). Treatment of VI with 3-(dimethylamino)-1-propanethiol hydrochloride in phenol afforded 6-[ [3-(dimethylamino)-propyl]thio] [1,2,5]thiadiazolo[3,4-c]acridine (VII) (65%). The reaction of IV with a mixture of methyl and ethyl 2-oxocyclohexanecarboxylate gave the adduct, which was ring closed in Dowtherm to 7,9,10,1 1-tetrahydro[1,2,5] thiadiazolo[3,4-c]acridin-6(8H)one (VIII) (70%). Chlorination of VIII with phosphorus oxychloride gave 6-chloro-7,8,9,10-tetrahydro[1,2,5]thiadiazolo[3,4-c]acridine (IX) (84%), which was condensed with 3-(dimethylamino)-1-propanethiol hydrochloride in phenol yielding 6-[ [3-(dimethylamino)propyl]thio]-7,8,9,10-tetrahydrof 1,2,5]-thiadiazolo[3,4-c]acridine (X) (27%). 6-[ [3(1)imethylamino)propyl]thio]-8,9-dihydro-7H-cyclopenta[b] [1,2,5]thiadiazolo[3,4-h]quinoline (XIII) (25%) was prepared similarly from IV and a mixture of methyl and ethyl 2-oxocyclopentanecarboxylate via 7,8,9,10-tetrahydro-6H-cyclopenta[b][1,2,5]thiadiazolo[3,4-h]quinolin-6-one (XI) (85%) and 6-chloro-8,9-dihydro-7H-cyclopenta[b][1,2,5]thiadiazolof3,4-h]quinoline (XII) (56%). The effects of compounds VII-XIII as inhibitors of platelet aggregation are discussed.     

Molecular Recognition Properties of Biphen[4]arene

Biphen[n]arenes (n=3, 4) are a new family of macrocyclic hosts. Here, we describe the molecular recognition behavior of hydroxylated biphen[4]arene (OHBP4) for the first time. A series of cationic guests with different sizes and shapes, including quaternary ammonium salts ( 1? PF₆ and 2? PF₆), pyridinium‐based guests ( 3? 2 PF₆– 6? 2 PF₆), and cobaltocenium hexafluorophosphate ( 7? PF₆), were chosen as model guest molecules. OHBP4 exhibits good selectivity towards the 2,7‐dibutyldiazapyrenium bis(hexafluorophosphate) ( 4? 2 PF₆) axle to form a [2]pseudorotaxane‐type complex. In contrast, hydroxylated biphen[3]arene (OHBP3) cannot bind with this big guest. In addition, OHBP4 strongly interacts with adamantane derivative 2? PF₆ and cobaltocenium 7? PF₆, which have tridimensional shape and relatively large size. The association constant of the 7 ⁺?OHBP4 complex in 1:1 (v/v) [D₆]acetone/CD₂Cl₂ solution is up to 3100±300 m ^?1.     

The syntheses of 4b,5a-dihydro-5H-benzo[3,4]-phenanthro[1,2-b]azirine and 1a,11b-dihydro-6,11-dimethyl-1H-benz[3,4]anthra[1,2-b]azirine

The syntheses of the K-imine derivatives of carcinogenic benzo[c]phenanthrene and 7,12-dimethylbenz-[a]anthracene are described. Treatment of trans-5-azido-5,6-dihydrobenzo[c]phenanthren-6-ol ( 3 ) and trans-6-azido-5,6-dihydrobenzo[c]phenanthren-5-ol ( 5 ) with thionyl chloride yielded the corresponding β-chloro azides, which in turn, were reacted with lithium aluminium hydride to give 4b,5a-dihydro-5H-benzo[3,4]-phenanthro[1,2-b]azirine ( 2 ). In a similar manner trans-5-azido-5,6-dihydro-7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracen-6-ol ( 11 ) and trans-6-azido-5,6-dihydro-7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracen-5-ol ( 13 ) were transformed to the respective chloro azides and, converted into 1a,11b-dihydro-6,11-dimethyl-1H-benz[3,4]anthra[1,2-b]azirine ( 10 ).     

DABCO mediated one pot synthesis of 2-(3-benzyl-2, 6-dioxo-3, 6-dihydropyrimidin-1[2H]-yl)-N-(4-(1, 3-dioxo-1H-benzo [de]isoquinolin-2[3H]-yl) aryl) acetamides as antimicrobial agents

We report herein DABCO mediated one pot synthesis of 2-(3-benzyl-2, 6-dioxo-3,6-dihydropyrimidin-1[2H]-yl)-N-(4-(1,3-dioxo-1H-benzo[de]isoquinolin-2[3H]-yl) aryl) acetamides ( 4a-j ). The silent features of this new one pot synthesis include the shorter reaction time, high yields, simple workup, and simultaneous formation of N-Amide and N-benzyl bonds in the one pot. The newly synthesized compounds ( 4a-j ) were characterized by different spectral techniques such as IR, ¹H-NMR, ¹³C-NMR, HRMS. All the synthesized compounds were evaluated for their anti-bacterial and anti-fungal activities. The anti-bacterial activities results reveal that the compounds 4a , 4g , 4i , and 4j are most active against S. aureus. In the case of B. subtilis the compounds 4a , 4i , and 4j are found to be most active. The compounds 4c , 4e , 4i , and 4j are most active against E. coli. In the case of P. aeruginosa 4a , 4i & 4j are found to be more active. On the other hand, the anti-fungal activity result shows that the compounds 4d , 4f , 4i , and 4j are more active against A. niger. The compounds 4a , 4d , 4i , and 4j are found to be more active against C. albicans.     

The synthesis of some benzo[d1]furo[3,2-e] [1,4] diazepin-2-ones

Reaction of 3-amino-2-benzoylbenzo[b]furan with bromoacetyl bromide followed by cyclization in methanolic ammonia gave 5-phenyl-1,3-dihydrobenzo[d′] furo[3,2-e] [1,4]diazepin-2-one, a representative of a new ring-system. The corresponding chloro substituted diazepin-2-one was similarly prepared from 3-amino-2-(4-chlorobenzoyl) benzo[b] furan. Some alkylation and thionation reactions of these diazepines have been investigated.
