Synthesis and Reactions of Some New Heterocyclic Compounds Containing Cycloalka[e]thieno[2,3‐b]pyridine Moiety

Hydrolysis of ethyl 3-amino-4-aryl-cycloalka[e]thieno[2,3-b]pyridine-2-carboxylates ( 3a-d) gave the corresponding o-aminocarboxylic acids 4a-d . Heating the latter compounds ( 4a-d) with acetic anhydride furnished the oxazinone derivatives 5a-d which, in turn, underwent recyclization reaction to give the corresponding pyrimidinones 6a-d upon treatment with ammonium acetate in acetic acid. Reaction of 3-amino-4-aryl-cycloalka[e]thieno[2,3-b]pyridine-2-carboxamides ( 3f,h ) with triethyl orthoformate gave pyrimidinone derivatives 7a,b . Reaction of 3-amino-4-phenyl-cycloalka[e]thieno[2,3-b]pyridine-2-carboxamides 3e,h with aromatic aldehydes furnished tetrahydropyridothienopyrimidinones 8a-d . Chlorination of 7a,b and 6a-d by using phosphorous oxychloride produced 4-chlorocycloalka[5′,6′]pyrido[3′,2′:4,5]thieno[3,2-d]pyrimidine derivatives 9a-f which were used as key intermediates in the synthesis of several new cycloalkapyrido-thienopyrimidines 10a-f ˜ 14a-f . Moreover, some cycloalkapyridothienotriazinones 15a,b-17a,b were synthesized.

The reaction of acyl derivatives of ethyl 3-aminothieno[2,3-b]pyridine-2-carboxylate with hydrazine hydrate gives a series of tricyclic 3-amino-3,4-dihydropyrido[3′,2′:4,5]thieno[3,2-d]pyrimidin-4-ones containing aliphatic, aromatic, or heteroaromatic fragments at C₍₂₎. The reactions of 3-aminopyridothieno[3,2-d]pyrimidin-4-ones with aldehydes, formamide, 2,5-dimethoxytetrahydrofuran, acetic anhydride, and Raney nickel were studied. __________ Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 11, pp. 1720–1732, November, 2007.     

Features of three-centered hydrogen bonding in di(vinylpyrrolyl)pyridine and di(vinylpyridyl)-pyrrole from the ab initio calculation data and QTAIM analysis

Within the calculation at the MP2/6-311++G(d,p) level and QTAIM analysis the structural investigation of 2,6-bis-[2-(1H-pyrrole-2-yl)-vinyl]-pyridine and 2,5-bis-[2-(pyridine-2-yl)-vinyl]-1H-pyrrole is performed. It is found that a symmetric three-centered hydrogen bond forms in the first molecule. The components of this bond are substantially weakened in comparison with the two-centered hydrogen bond in the Z-isomer of 2-[2-(1H-pyrrole-2-yl)-vinyl]-pyridine. This weakening is due to the steric interaction of two hydrogen bond donors. At the same time, more rigid steric conditions for the formation of a three-centered interaction in 2,5-bis-[2-(pyridine-2-yl)-vinyl]-1H-pyrrole results in actual dissociation of one of the components of the three-center hydrogen bond accompanied by the strengthening of the retained component. This provides the possibility of rocking vibrations of the hydrogen bond in the latter case due to the alternate entrance of hydrogen bond acceptors into the coordination sphere of the hydrogen atom.

[1]Benzofuro[3,2-<Emphasis Type="Italic">c</Emphasis>]pyridine synthesis and coordination reactions

(E)-3-(1-Benzofuran-2-yl)propenoic acid (1) was prepared from 1-benzofuran-2-carbaldehyde under the Doebner’s conditions. The obtained acid was converted to the corresponding azide 2, which was cyclized by heating in diphenyl ether to [1]benzofuro[3,2-c]pyridine-1(2H)-one (3). This compound was aromatized with phosphorus oxychloride to chloroderivative 4 which was reduced with zinc and acetic acid to the title compound 5. [1]Benzofuro[3,2-c]pyridine-2-oxide (6) was synthesized by reaction of 5 with 3-chloroperoxybenzoic acid in dichloromethane. Treatment of 6 with benzoyl chloride and potassium cyanide (Reissert-Henze reaction) was shown to produce the corresponding [1]benzofuro[3,2-c]pyridine-1-carbonitrile (7). The title compound was used for preparation of complexes Cu₂(ac)₄(bfp)₂ (8) and CoCl₂(bfp)₂ (9), where ac=CH₃CO₂⁻ and bfp=[1]benzofuro[3,2-c]pyridine. Both oxygen atom of carboxylate ions is used in the coordination to Cu(II). Thermal properties of the complexes 8 and 9 have been studied by TG and DTA and both complexes exhibited high thermal stability while complex 9 are thermally more stable than complex 8.

The reaction of N-acetylindoxyl hydrazone with ketones in alcohol gave N-acetylindoxyl alkylindenehydrazones, which were converted to pyrrolo[3,2-b]indole derivatives by treatment with glacial acetic acid. Pyrrolo[3,2-b]indole derivatives were also obtained in the reaction of N-acetylindoxyl hydrazone with ketones in glacial acetic acid. The structures of the synthesized products were confirmed by data from the IR, UV, PMR, and mass spectra.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 2, pp. 201–205, February, 1982.     

5α-androstano [3,2-b]pyridines, 5α-androstano[17,16-b]pyridines and androst-4 and 5-eno[17,16-b]pyridines

A new synthesis of 5α-androstano[3,2-b]pyridin-17β-ol acetate (VIa) and 17-methyl-5α-androstano[3,2-b]pyridin-17β-ol (VIb), first reported by Shimizu, Ohta, Ueno, and Takegoshi, was achieved. The analogous 5α - androstano[17,16-b]pyridin-3β-ol (XII), 5α-androstano[17,16-b]pyridin-3-one (XIVa), and androst-4-eno[17,16-b]pyridin-3-one (XIVb) were also prepared. An illustration of the method follows. Condensation of 3β-hydroxy-5α-androstan-17-one (VIIa) with 3-(2-furyl)acrolein afforded 16-[3-(2-furyl)-2-propenylidene]-3β-hydroxy-5α-androstan-17-one (VIIIa), the oxime (IXa) of which was thermally cyclized to 5α-androstano[17,16-b]-6′-(2-furyl)pyridin-3β-ol (Xa). 3β-Hydroxy-5α-androstano[17,16-b]pyridine-6′-carboxylic acid (XI) was obtained by ozonolysis of Xa. Thermal decarboxylation of XI gave XII. Cinnamaldehyde was used in place of 3-(2-furyl)acrolein to give the corresponding phenylpyridines.     

Experimental and theoretical IR and Raman spectra of picolinic, nicotinic and isonicotinic acids

The experimental and theoretical (B3PW91/6-311++G**) vibrational (IR and Raman) spectra of picolinic, nicotinic and isonicotinic acids (pyridine-2-, -3-, and -4-carboxylic acid, respectively) were studied. Three stable calculated structures were found for picolinic acid: the structure with intramolecular hydrogen COOH?N bond, and the two without hydrogen bond. For the nicotinic acid two stable theoretical structures differ in orientation of the COOH group with respect to the nitrogen atom, whereas for the isonicotinic acid only one form was stable. The theoretical vibrational spectra of the three acids were interpreted by means of potential energy distributions (PEDs) using VEDA 3 program. Next, selected experimental bands were assigned based on the scaled theoretical wavenumbers. Finally, the wavenumbers and intensities for the three isomeric acids were compared and discussed in terms of location of the carboxylic group.     

Condensed isoquinolines 26. Oxidation reactions of 6,11-dihydro-13H-isoquino-[3,2-<Emphasis Type="Italic">b</Emphasis>]quinazolin-13-one derivatives

Oxidation of the hydrobromide of 6,11-dihydro-13H-isoquino[3,2-b]quinazolin-13-one with dimethyl sulfoxide leads to 11-hydroxy-11H-isoquino[3,2-b]quinazoline-6,13-dione, and with hydrogen peroxide to the hydrobromide of 2-[(4-oxo-3,4-dihydro-2-quinazolinyl)carbonyl]benzoic acid. Salts of 5-and 6-alkyl-substituted isoquino[3,2-b]quinazolines are readily oxidized on boiling in nitrobenzene, which leads to aromatization of the isoquino[3,2-b]quinazoline system to 5-methyl-13-oxo-5H,13H-isoquino[ 3,2-b]quinazolinium perchlorate and 6-benzyl-13H-isoquino[3,2-b]quinazolin-13-one. The structures of the dehydrogenation products were established from ¹H NMR and UV spectra. The interaction of the obtained compounds with NaBH₄ has been studied. __________ Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 12, pp. 1833–1840, December, 2007.     

Reactivity of methyl (3,6-dichloropyridazin-4-yl)acetate towards nucleophiles

Methyl (3,6-dichloropyridazin-4-yl)acetate (II), prepared from methyl (3,6-dihydroxypyrid-azin-4-yl)aeetate (1) by chlurination with phosphorus oxychloride, was used for studies of nucleo-philic displacement reactions and it has been found that only the chlorine atom at position 6 was displaced with hydrazine. With diluted hydrochloric acid both chlorine atoms were displaced with the 6-oxo isomer predominating. By turning the aromatic ring of pyridazine into an o-quinoid system, the chlorine atom at position 3 became mobile. Cyelization of (6-hydrazino-s-triazolo-[4,3-b ]pyridazin-7-yl)acetic acid hydrazide (XIX) gave 6-aminopyrrolo[3,2-e ]s-triazlo[ 4,3-b ]-pyridazm-7(8H)one (XXI).     

Luminescent digold ethynyl thienothiophene and dithienothiophene complexes; their synthesis and structural characterisation

A series of protected and terminal dialkynes with extended pi-conjugation through the fused oligothienyl linker unit in the backbone, 2,5-bis(trimethylsilylethynyl)thieno[3,2-b]thiophene 1a, 5,5'-bis(trimethylsilylethynyl)dithieno[3,2-b:2',3'-d]thiophene 1b, 2,5-bis(ethynyl)thieno[3,2-b]thiophene 2a, 5,5'-bis(ethynyl)dithieno[3,2-b:2',3'-d]thiophene 2b, has been synthesized and characterised. The digold alkynyl complexes [(Ph3P)Au(C[triple bond]C)(C6H2S2)(C[triple bond]C)Au(PPh3)] 3a and [(Ph3P)Au(C[triple bond]C)(C8H2S3)(C[triple bond]C)Au(PPh3)] 3b have then been prepared by the reaction of two equivalents of Ph3PAuCl and a methanolic KOH solution of 1a and 1b, respectively. The complexes have been characterised spectroscopically. The crystal structures show that the gold centres adopt a linear two-coordinate geometry appropriate for Au(i) complexes. Within the crystals adjacent molecules are linked by Au...S intermolecular interactions in the range 3.48-3.89 A, but there are no short Au...Au contacts. The absence of Au...Au interactions in solution is confirmed by UV/visible absorption and emission spectroscopy, the spectra being dominated by ligand-centred pi-pi* interactions.     

Organometallic 3-(1H-benzimidazol-2-yl)-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridines as potential anticancer agents

Six organometallic complexes of the general formula [M(II)Cl(η(6)-p-cymene)(L)]Cl, where M = Ru (11a, 12a, 13a) or Os (11b, 12b, 13b) and L = 3-(1H-benzimidazol-2-yl)-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridines (L1-L3) have been synthesized. The latter are known as potential cyclin-dependent kinase (Cdk) inhibitors. All compounds have been comprehensively characterized by elemental analysis, one- and two-dimensional NMR spectroscopy, UV-vis spectroscopy, ESI mass spectrometry, and X-ray crystallography (11b and 12b). The multistep synthesis of 3-(1H-benzimidazol-2-yl)-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridines (L1-L3), which was reported by other researchers, has been modified by us essentially (e.g., the synthesis of 5-bromo-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridine-3-carboxylic acid (3) via 5-bromo-3-methyl-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridine (2); the synthesis of 1-methoxymethyl-2,3-diaminobenzene (5) by avoiding the use of unstable 2,3-diaminobenzyl alcohol; and the activation of 1H-pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridine-3-carboxylic acids (1, 3) through the use of an inexpensive coupling reagent, N,N'-carbonyldiimidazole (CDI)). Stabilization of the 7b tautomer of methoxymethyl-substituted L3 by coordination to a metal(II) center, as well as the NMR spectroscopic characterization of two tautomers 7b-L3 and 4b'-L3 in a metal-free state are described. Structure-activity relationships with regard to cytotoxicity and cell cycle effects in human cancer cells, as well as Cdk inhibitory activity, are also reported.
