Synthesis of Some Novel 5-(Arylidene)-2-imino-3(pyridin-2-yl)thiazolidin-4-one Derivatives

Treatment of 2-aminopyridine ( 1 ) with chloroacetyl chloride in dry benzene gave 2-chloro-N-(pyridin-2-yl)acetamide ( 3 ), which on further reaction with potassium thiocyanate gave 2-imino-3-(pyridin-2-yl)thiazolidin-4-one ( 4 ) as an intermediate compound for the synthesis of pyridin-2-yl substituted 2-imino-thiazolidine-4-one derivatives. Cyclocondensation reaction of ( 4 ) with a series of aromatic aldehydes gave 5-arylidene derivatives of pyridin-2-yl substituted 2-imino-thiazolidine-4-ones 5a–j . ¹ H and ¹³C NMR spectroscopy, as well as elemental analyses, were used for the identification of these new compounds.     

20, 21-Azirdin-Steroide: Reaktion von Derivaten der Oxime von 5-Pregnen-20-on,9β,10α-5-Pregnen-20-on und 9β,10α-5,7-Pregnadien-20-on mit Lithiumaluminiumhydrid und von 3β-Hydroxy-5-pregnen-20-on-oxim mit Grignard-Verbindungen

20, 21-Aziridine Steroids: Reaction of Derivatives of the Oximes of 5-Pregnen-20-one, 9β, 10α-5-Pregnen-20-one and 9β, 10α-5,7-Pregnadiene-20-one with Lithium Aluminium Hydride, and of 3β-Hydroxy-5-pregnen-20-one Oxime with Grignard Reagents. Reduction of 3β-hydroxy-5-pregnen-20-one oxime ( 2 ) with LiAlH₄ in tetrahydrofuran yielded 20α-amino-5-pregnen-3β-ol ( 1 ), 20β-amino-5-pregnen-3β-ol ( 3 ), 20β, 21-imino-5-pregnen-3β-ol ( 6 ) and 20β, 21-imino-5-pregnen-3β-ol ( 9 ). The aziridines 6 and 9 were separated via the acetyl derivatives 7 and 10 . The reaction of 6 and 9 with CS₂ gave 5-(3β-hydroxy-5-androsten-17β-yl)-thiazolidine-2-thione ( 8 ). Treatment of the 20-oximes 12 and 15 of the corresponding 9β,10α(retro)-pregnane derivatives with LiAlH₄ gave the aziridines 13 and 16 , respectively. Their deamination led to the diene 14 and triene 17 , respectively. Reduction of isobutyl methyl ketone-oxime with LiAlH₄ in tetrahydrofuran yielded 2-amino-4-methyl-pentane ( 19 ) as main product, 1, 2-imino-4-methyl-pentane ( 22 ) as second product and the epimeric 2,3-imino-4-methyl-pentanes 20 and 21 as minor products. – 3β-Hydroxy-5-pregnen-20-one oxime ( 2 ) was transformed by methylmagnesium iodide in toluene to 20α, 21-imino-20-methyl-5-pregnen-3β-ol ( 23 ) and 20β, 21-imino-20-methyl-5-pregnen-3β-ol ( 26 ). Acetylation of these aziridines was accompanied by elimination reactions leading to 3β-acetoxy-20-methylidene-21-N-acetylamino-5-pregnene ( 30 ) and 3β-acetoxy-20-methyl-21-N-acetylamino-5,17-pregnadiene ( 32 ). The reaction of oxime 2 with ethylmagnesium bromide in toluene gave 20α, 21-imino-20-ethyl-5-pregnen-3β-ol ( 24 ) and 20α,21-imino-20-ethyl-5-pregnen-3β-ol ( 27 ). Acetylation of 24 and 27 led to 3β-acetoxy-20-ethylidene-21-N-acetylamino-5-pregnene ( 31 ), 3β-acetoxy-20-ethyl-21-N-acetylamino-5,17-pregnadiene 33 and 3β, 20-diacetoxy-20-ethyl-21-N-acetylamino-5-pregnene ( 37 ). With phenylmagnesium bromide in toluene the oxime 2 was transformed to 20β, 21-imino-20-phenyl-5-pregnen-3β-ol ( 25 ) and 20β,21-imino-20-phenyl-5-pregnen-3β-ol ( 28 ). Acetylation of 25 and 28 yielded 3β-acetoxy-20-phenyl-21-N-acetylamino-5, 17-pregnadiene ( 34 ) and 3β,20-diacetoxy-20-phenyl-21-N-acetylamino-5-pregnene ( 39 ). LiAlH₄-reduction of 39 gave 3β, 20-dihydroxy-20-phenyl-21-N-ethylamino-5-pregnene ( 41 ). – The 20, 21-aziridines are stable to LiAlH₄. Consequently they are no intermediates in the formation of the 20-amino derivatives obtained from the oxime 2 .     

Unexpected synthesis of 3-imino-2-(pyrrol-2-yl) isatogen derivatives affords facile access to a 2-pyrrolyl isatogen

2-Aryl isatogens and their 3-imino derivatives have been extensively studied but to date there have been no reported variants carrying pyrrolyl substituents at the 2-position. This study describes the unexpected synthesis of two novel 3-imino-2-(pyrrol-2-yl) isatogen derivatives upon attempted amide couplings with (E)- or (Z)-3-(3,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrrol-2-yl)-2-(2-nitrophenyl)acrylic acids and p-phenylenediamines in the presence of uronium-based coupling reagents. Imine hydrolysis of one derivative under mild acid conditions afforded a 2-pyrrolyl isatogen in high yield. The compound showed potent in vitro antiplasmodial activity against Plasmodium falciparum.     

Synthesis,Structure and Cytotoxic Properties of Copper(II) Complexes of 2-Iminocoumarins Bearing a 1,3,5-Triazine or Benzoxazole/Benzothiazole Moiety

A series of copper(II) complexes of 2-imino-2H-chromen-3-yl-1,3,5-triazines 2a-h, 3-(benzoxazol-2-yl)-2H-chromen-2-imines 4a-b, and 3-(benzothiazol-2-yl)-2H-chromen-2-imines 6a-c were obtained by reacting of appropriate 2-iminocoumarin ligands L1a-h, L3a-b, and L5a-c with 3-fold molar excess of copper(II) chloride. The structure of these compounds was confirmed by IR spectroscopy, elemental analysis, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction data (2f, 2g, 2h, and 6c). All the synthesized complexes were screened for their activity against five human cancer cell lines: DAN-G, A-427, LCLC-103H, SISO, and RT-4 by using a crystal violet microtiter plate assay and relationships between structure and in vitro cytotoxic activity are discussed. The coordination of 2-iminocoumarins with copper(II) ions resulted in complexes 2a-h, 4a-b, and 6a-c with significant inhibitory properties toward tested tumor cell lines with IC₅₀ values ranging from 0.04 μM to 15.66 μM. In comparison to the free ligands L1a-h, L3a-b, and L5a-c, the newly prepared Cu(II) complexes often displayed increased activity. In the series of copper(II) complexes of 2-imino-2H-chromen-3-yl-1,3,5-triazines 2a-h the most potent compound 2g contained a 4-phenylpiperazine moiety at position 6 of the 1,3,5-triazine ring and an electron-donating diethylamino group at position 7′ of the 2-iminocoumarin scaffold. Among the Cu(II) complexes of 3-(benzoxazol-2-yl)-2H-chromen-2-imines 4a-b and 3-(benzothiazol-2-yl)-2H-chromen-2-imines 6a-c the most active was benzoxazole-2-iminocoumarin 4b that also possessed a diethylamino group at position 7′ of the 2-iminocoumarin moiety. Moreover, compound 4b was found to be the most prominent agent and displayed the higher potency than cisplatin against tested cell lines.

Proteus vulgaris(ATCC 3851).Salmonella typhimurium(ATCC 14028) and Escherichia coli(ATCC 25922).Among the screened compounds,5d,5e,5f,5g,and 5j exhibited potent inhibitory activity compared to standard drug,and emerged as potential molecules for further development.     

Synthesis of 1,4,5-trisubstituted-1,2,3-triazoles via coupling reaction of diaminomaleonitrile with aromatic diazonium salts

A mild procedure for the preparation of 2-(5-amino-1-aryl-1H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)-2-iminoacetonitriles and 2-(5-amino-1-aryl-1H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)-2-oxoacetonitriles was achieved by the reaction of diaminomaleonitrile and phenyl/substituted phenyl diazonium chlorides. 4-Nitrophenyl diazonium chloride afforded 2-amino-3-(3-(4-nitrophenyl)triaz-1-en-1-yl)maleonitrile. Triazole iminoacetonitrile and maleonitrile derivatives were reacted further with excess acetone and benzaldehyde with a catalytic amount of 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene to yield 5-(5-imino-2,2-dimethyl-2,5-dihydrooxazol-4-yl)-3-aryl-3H-1,2,3-triazol-4-amine and (E)-N-benzylidene-5-(5-imino-2-aryl-2,5-dihydrooxazol-4-yl)-3-aryl-3H-1,2,3-triazol-4-amine, respectively. Two competitive reactions, i.e., nucleophilic substitution and nucleophilic addition, were observed when triazole oxoacetonitrile and maleonitrile derivatives were reacted with hydroxylamine hydrochloride in the presence of sodium acetate.     

Synthese und Reaktionen von 2-Arylhydrazono-2-cyan-N,N-dialkyl-acetamidinen

Summary The title compounds3 were synthesized by reaction of arlyhydrazono-malononitriles1 with secondary amines and used for subsequent cyclization reactions. Thus,3 undergoes cyclooxidation by treatment with CuSO₄/pyridine to form the 5-dialkylamino-2-aryl-1,2,3-triazolo-4-carbonitriles4. From4 a and hydrazine hydrate/DMF the 4-(1,3,4-triazolyl-5)-1,2,3-triazole5 c is obtainable. The chloroacetylation of3 is accompanied by hydrolysis of the amino group to yield the arylhydrazono-N-chloracetyl cyanoacetamides6. The quaternisation of6 with pyridins is followed by the Thorpe cyclization to form the 4-amino-5-arylazo-6-hydroxy-3-pyridinio-pyrid-2-on-chlorides8, useful as cationic dyes. The reaction of3 with trichloroacetonitriles yields the 5-arylazo-4-imino-2-trichlormethyl-1,4-dihydropyrimidines10 a–c which can be converted into the 5-arylazo-2-hydrazino-pyrimidine derivatives10 d–f.From10 d the 6-phenylazo-triazolo[4,3-a]pyrimidine derivative11 is obtainable. From3 and phenylisothiocyanate the 5-arylazo-4-imino-1,4-dihydropyrimidin-2-thiones12 arise. The structures were investigated by¹³C-NMR-spectroscopy.
