Pyrimido[5,4-b]quinolines. II. Reactions at the heterocyclic ring-carbon and nitrogen atoms

10-Chloro-7,8-dimethylpyrimido[5,4-b]quinolin-2,4(1H,3H)dione (I) was unreactive toward ammonia but it reacted with 2 molecules of n-butylamine, presumably via Dimroth-type ring-opening and closure, to give the N₃-butyl, N₁₀-butylamino derivative (IV). In similar reactions of 10-chloro-2,4-dimethoxy-7,8-dimethylpyrimido[5,4-b]quinoline (II) only the 4-meth-oxyl was displaced by either ammonia or n-butylamine. Alkyllithium reagents also displaced the 4-methoxyl as well as added to the 3,4 double bond of II to yield the corresponding gem-dialkyl substituted (C₄) derivatives; the C₁₀ chlorine remained unreactive. 2,4-Dimethoxy-7,8-di-methylpyrimido[5,4-b]quinoline-10-one (III) could be alkylated only in the form of the thallium salt. Treatment of the benzyl derivative of III with methylmagnesium bromide led only to the displacement of the 4-methoxyl by a methyl group.     

Pyrimidines. XXXIII. Synthesis and properties of new fervenulin derivatives

A series of new 3-substituted fervenulin (6,8-dimethylpyrimido[5,4-c]-1,2,4-triazine-5,7-dione) ( 1 ) derivatives have been synthesized by modifying the 3-alkyl- and aralkyl side-chains. Brominations of 3-methyl -15 , 3-ethyl -16- and 3-benzylfervenulin ( 17 ) led to mono- and dibromo derivatives 22, 23, 25–27 , which are prone to various nucleophilic displacement reactions 24, 28–35 . Periodate oxidation and ozonolysis, respectively, of 3-styrylfervenulin ( 20 ) afforded fervenulin-3-carboxaldehyde ( 36 ) which was transformed to a folic acid analog ( 39 ). Potassium permanganate oxidation of 3-alkylfervenulins 15–19 afforded only ring-contraction to 3-alkyl-5,7-dimethylimidazo[4,5-e]-1,2,4-triazin-6-ones 42–46 which are also formed as mixtures with its 2,4a-dihydro derivatives 47–50 on treatment with ethanolic sodium hydroxide. Fervenulin-3-carboxylic acid ( 55 ) can be converted to the corresponding acid chloride 58 which reacts with amines to fervenulin-3-carboxamides 59, 64–67 and/or 2,4a-dihydro-5, 7 -dimethylimidazo[4,5-e]-1,2,4-triazin-6-one-biscarboxamides 60–64 .     

Synthesis of 10-deazariboflavin and related 2,4-Dioxopyrimido[4,5-b]quinolines

Condensation of substituted anthranilaldehydes with barbituric acid results in the formation of 2,4-dioxopyrimido[4,5-b]quinolines. Using this general synthetic approach, 7,8-dimethyl-2,4-dioxo-10-ribityl-2,3,4,10-tetrahydropyrimido[4,5-b]quinoline (10-deazariboflavin) was prepared by the condensation of barbituric acid with 4,5-dimethyl-N-ribitylanthranilaldehyde. The latter was obtained in situ by the treatment of 1-[4,5-dimethyl-N-(ribityl)anthraniloyl]-2-(p-toluenesulfonyl)hydrazine, prepared from 4,5-dimethylanthranilic acid with anhydrous sodium carbonate.     

Benzodifurans. I. The synthesis of benzo[1,2-b:5,4-b]difuran and some methyl analogs

The first parent benzodifuran (XVI) and three di- and trimethylated derivatives have been synthesized and screened for erythemal activity (negative response). Two benzodifurans were prepared from resorcinol and 2-methylresorcinol by acetylation, Fries rearrangement, alkylation of the resulting 4,6-diacetylresorcinols with ethyl bromoacetate, saponification, and then cyclization of the (4,6-diacetyl-1,3-phenylenedioxy)diacetic acids. Another was prepared from the Claisen rearrangement product of 1,3-bis(allyloxy)-2-methylbenzene by acetylation, bromina-tion, and cyclization. Ozonolysis of the Claisen rearrangement product gave additional support to the formulation of o-hydroxyphenylaeetaldehydes as cyclic hemiacetals. The parent benzodifuran was synthesized from 5-formyI-6-hydroxybenzofuran, which was prepared in two steps from 5-bromo-6-methoxybenzofuran. Alkylation of the former with ethyl bromoacetate, saponification, and cyclization furnished benzo[1,2-b.5,4-b ]difuran. The ultraviolet and nuclear magnetic resonance spectra of the four benzodifurans are compared.     

Aminothiazole derivatives. I. A convenient synthesis of monocyclic and condensed 5-aminothiazole derivatives

Treatment of diamides derived from α-amino acids with phosphorus pentasulfide or Lawesson's reagent was shown to provide a convenient method to prepare 5-aminothiazoles. By this method, in addition to mono-cyclic 5-aminothiazoles 19 , novel bicyclic 5-aminothiazole derivatives such as 4,5,6,7-tetrahydrothiazolo[5,4-b]pyridines 11 , 5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-4H-thiazolo[5,4-b]azepines 7 , 4,5,6,7,8,9-hexahydrothiazolo[5,4-b]azocine 16 and related compounds were prepared in moderate to good yields from simple diamides, suggesting the wide versatility of the method.     

Synthesis and spectral properties of substituted 4-chlorooxazoloquinolines

Summary The treatment of a mixture of linearly and angularly annelated 2-substituted oxazolo[4,5-f]quinolones (5a–c) and oxazolo[5,4-g]quinolones (6a–c) and similarly the treatment of 2-substituted oxazolo[5,4-f]quinolones (7a–c) and oxazolo[4,5-g]quinolones (8b,c) with POCl₃ afforded substituted 4-chlorooxazolo[4,5-f]quinolines (9a–c) and 2-substituted 4-chlorooxazolo[5,4-f]quinolines (10b,c), respectively. Spectral characteristics of the synthesized derivatives (¹H and¹³C NMR, IR, UV, and MS) are discussed.Dedicated to Prof.Fritz Sauter on the occasion of his 65th birthday     

A facile synthesis of novel 2-amino-6-arylmethyl-7-carboxamido-7,8-dihydropyrimido[5,4-f][1,4]thiazepin-5-ones

A facile synthesis of novel 2-amino-6-arylmethyl-7-carboxamido-7,8-dihydropyrimido[5,4-f][1,4]thiazepin-5-ones is described. The synthesis was developed on solid phase and was applied to provide a series of analogs in good yield. The key reactions are acylation of a cysteine derivative with 2,4-dichloropyrimidine-5-carbonyl chloride followed by cyclization to generate a 6-arylmethyl-7-carboxamido-2-chloro-7,8-dihydropyrimido[5,4-f][1,4]thiazepin-5-one, which is further derivatized with an amine to give the desired 2-amino-6-arylmethyl-7-carboxamido-7,8-dihydropyrimido[5,4-f][1,4]thiazepin-5-one.     

Synthesis of some benzofuronaphthyridines and benzofuronaphthyridine derivatives

The new benzofuro[2,3-b]naphthyridine ring system was prepared. 2,4-Dichloro-3-(o-methoxyphenyl)naphthyridines 3a and 3b were obtained by chlorination of hydroxynaphthyridinones 2a and 2b . Demethylation followed by cyclization of 3a and 3b afforded 11-chlorobenzofuro[2,3-b]naphthyridines 4a and 4b . Hydrogenolysis of these 11-chlorobenzofuronaphthyridines gave the parent benzofuro[2,3-b]naphthyridines 5a and 5b . The analog 4b was also converted to 11-methoxybenzofuro[2,3-b][1,8]naphthyridine ( 6 ).     

Efficient synthesis and resolution of novel 2-(hydroxymethyl)-7,8-dihydro-1H-indeno[5,4-b] furan-6(2H)-one by lipase Pseudomonas cepacia

Lipase Pseudomonas cepacia catalyzed acylation of (±)-2-(hydroxymethyl)-7,8-dihydro-1H-indeno[5,4-b] furan-6(2H)-one using vinyl acetate as the acyl donor in acetone gave (−)-(R)-2-acetoxy-2-(methyl)-7,8-dihydro-1H-indeno[5,4-b] furan-6(2H)-one and (+)-(S)-2-(hydroxymethyl)-7,8-dihydro-1H-indeno[5,4-b] furan-6(2H)-one with high enantiomeric excess. Enantiomerically pure 2-(hydroxymethyl)-7,8-dihydro-1H-indeno[5,4-b] furan-6(2H)-one are useful intermediates for the preparation of Ramelteon, an FDA approved drug for the treatment of insomnia.     

2-Chloro-3-quinolinecarboxaldehyde in the Synthesis of Condensed Quinoline Systems. 1. Synthesis of Derivatives of 3,4-Dihydro-2H-[1,3]thiazino[6,5-b]quinolines

A method for the synthesis of derivatives of previously unknown heterocyclic systems - 3,4-dihydro-2H-[1,3]thiazino[6,5-b]quinolines - has been developed based on 7,8-dimethyl-2-chloro-3-quinolinecarboxaldehyde via the consecutive steps of conversion into its Schiff's base with a primary amine, reduction to the corresponding aminomethyl derivative, conversion to the thiourea with isothiocyanates, and heterocyclization by intramolecular substitution of the chlorine atom.     

The synthesis of lin-benzoreumycin,lin-benzo-1-methylxanthine,and lin-benzo-1,9-dimethylxanthine

Commencing with 7-chloro-3-methylquinazoline-2,4(1H,3H)-dione ( 9a ), a five step synthesis of 7-methylpyrimido[5,4-g]-1,2,4-benzotriazine-6,8(7H,9H)-dione (lin-benzoreumycin, 6 ) has been accomplished. A synthesis of 1,7-dimethylpyrimido[5,4-g]-1,2,4-benzotriazine-6,8(1H,7H)-dione (lin-benzotoxoflavin, 5 ) employing an intermediate from the preparation of 6 (i.e., 7-chloro-3-methyl-6-nitroquinazoline-2,4(1H,3H)-dione, 9b ) was attempted but could not be accomplished beyond the dihydro precursor of 5 (i.e., 12 ). Compound 9b did lead to successful preparations of 7-methylimidazo[4,5-g]quinazoline-6,8(5H,7H)-dione (lin-benzo-1-methylxanthine, 7 ) and 3,7-dimethylimidazo[4,5-g]quinazoline-6,8(5H,7H)-dione (lin-benzo-1,9-dimethylxanthine, 8 ) by first reacting 9b with ammonia (for 7) or methylamine (for 8 ) followed by reductive cyclization in formic acid.

The structures of products 8, 9, 14 and 15 and the intermediates leading to them were confirmed by desulfurization, unequivocal syntheses and nmr spectroscopy as well.     

Purines, Pyrimidines, and Condensed Systems Based on them. 18. Reaction of 6,8-Dimethylpyrimido[4,5-c]pyridazine-5,7(6H,8H)dione N(2)-oxide with Alkylamines

Heating 6,8-dimethylpyrimido[4,5-c]pyridazine-5,7(6H,8H)-dione N₍₂₎-oxide (2) with piperidine or morpholine gave a moderate yield of 3-piperidino- and 3-morpholino-6,8-dimethylpyrimido[4,5-c]pyridazine-5,7(6H,8H)-diones (3a,b). Reaction of N-oxide (2) with ammonia and alkylamines in the presence of an oxidant led to formation of the 3-amino derivatives of 2 and the corresponding desoxy products 3. The latter were also obtained by an independent method by heating 3-chloro-6,8-dimethylpyrimido[4,5-c]pyridazine-5,7(6H,8H)-dione with alkylamines in butanol.     

Reaction of ketenes with N,N-disubstituted α-aminomethyleneketones. XVII. Synthesis of 2H-[1]benzothiepino[5,4-b]pyran derivatives

1,4-Cycloaddition of dichloroketene to a number of N,N-disubstituted (E)-4-amino methylene-3,4-dihydro-[1]benzothiepin-5(2H)-ones gave in excellent yield N,N-disubstituted 4-amino-3,3-dichloro-3,4,5,6-tetrahydro-2H-[1]benzothiepino[5,4-b]pyran-2-ones III, which are derivatives of the 2H-[1]benzothiepino[5,4-b]pyran system. Dehydrochlorination of III with DBN afforded N,N-disubstituted 4-amino-3-chloro-5,6-dihydro-2H-[1]-benzothiepino[5,4-b]pyran-2-ones, generally in excellent yield.

A schematic study on the condensation of 2,4-dichloroquinolines ( 1 ) with 1-naphthyamine ( 2 ) in the presence of CuI as a catalyst to functionalized mono ( 3 ) and di ( 4 ) substituted naphthylamino quinolines was described. Consequently, these mono- and di-substituted amines on polyphosphoric acid-catalyzed cyclization reaction with p-toluic acid and acetic acid to yield the linear benzo[b]naphtho[2,1-g][1,8]naphthyridines ( 5 ) and angular benzo[b]naphtho[2,1-h] naphthyridines ( 6 ) in good yields. In addition to descried the similar synthesis of benzo[g]naphtho [2,1-b][1,8]naphthyridines ( 12 ) and benzo[h]naphtho[2,1-g][1,8]naphthyridines ( 13 ) from 2,4-dichlorobenzo[h]quinoline ( 8 ) with various anilines ( 9 ) through my intermediates ( 10 and 11 ).

The syntheses of 6-fluoro-7-piperazin-1-yl-9-cyclopropyl (or 9-p-fluorophenyl)-2,3,4,9-tetrahydroisothiazolo[5,4-b]quinoline-3,4-diones as well as novel synthesis of isothiazolo-3(2H)-one system are described. Key steps include the regiospecific displacement of a sulfinyl group and the amination of the resultant mercapto derivative followed by an intramolecular nucleophilic displacement cyclization reaction to generate the novel 2,3,4,9-tetrahydroisothiazolo[5,4-b]quinoline-3,4-dione nucleus.     

Synthese von Furo [2,3-b]chinolinen

A new route to furo[2,3-b]quinolines has been developed based on the use of N-arylaconamides as starting materials. These anilides when heated with polyphosphoric acid, readily underwent intramolecular cyclization to furnish the respective 1,2-dihydro-2-oxo-quinoline-3-acetic acids which were then transformed into the corresponding dihydrofuro[2,3-b]quinolines by literature procedures. Sequential treatment of the dihydro compound withNBS andDBU afforded the corresponding furo[2,3-b]quinoline. The NMR spectra of the furoquinolines are discussed.

This paper describes the synthesis of two 4-amino-5H-pyrimido[5,4-b]indoles 5 , 4-hydrazino-5H-pyrimido[5,4-b]indole 6 , two 1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-c]pyrimido[5,4-b]indoles 8 , and tetrazolo[4,5-c]pyrimido[5,4-b]indole 10 . Starting with ethyl 3-aminoindole-2-carboxylate 1 , 5H-pyrimido[5,4-b]indol-4-one 2 was obtained (80%) by condensing with formamide. Reactions of 2 with phosphorus oxychloride and phosphorus pentasulfide gave respectively, 4-chloro-5H-pyrimido[5,4-b]indole 3 (70%) and 5H-pyrimido[5,4-b]indole-4-thione 4 (80%). Compound 3 reacted with amines (morpholine, piperidine) to give the respective 4-amino-5H-pyrimido[5,4-b]-indoles 5 , and compound 4 reacted with hydrazine to give 4-hydrazino-5H-pyrimido[5,4-b]indole 6 (80%). Two hydrazones of 6 (benzylidene, isopropylidene) 7 were also prepared (90%). Compound 6 reacted with formic and acetic acids to give (65–75%) the respective 1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-c]pyrimido[5,4-b]indoles 8 and with nitrous acid to give tetrazolo[4,5-c]pyrimido[5,4-b]indole 9 (85%). All the new compounds 2 to 9 were characterized by elemental analysis and spectral data (ir, nmr).     

Synthesis of new condensed thieno[2,3-b]pyridines containing pyrimidine and imidazole rings

Two different convenient methods have been developed for the synthesis of condensed thieno[2,3-b]pyridines. The intramolecular cyclization of 3-amino-2-hydrazinocarbonyl-7,7-dimethyl-7,8-dihydo-5H-pyrano[3,4-e]-thieno[2,3-b]pyridine was carried out to give 7,7-dimethyl-2-oxo-1,2,6,7-tetrahydro-9H-pyrano[3′,4′-e]-imidazo[4″,5″∶2,3]thieno[5,4-b]pyridine, which is the first representative of a new heterocyclic system.     

Synthèse de 5H-isoquino[6, 7-b][1, 6]naphtyridones-12 substituées sur leur sommet 10

Starting from 4-chloronicotinic and derivatives and 6-amino-5-methyl-2H-isoquinolin-1-one, subsequent cyclization of intermediates by sulfuric acid or trifluoromethanesulfonic acid and chlorination by phosphorus oxychloride gave 10-chloro-6-methyl-5H-isoquino[6,6-b][1,6]naphthyridin-12-ones. Cytotoxicity of the corresponding 10-(diethylamino-3)propylamino-6-methyl-5H-isoquino[6,7-b][1,6]naphthyridinh12-ones, compared to that of related 9-azaellipticine derivatives, showed that replacement of pyrrole by a pyridin-4-one nucleus resulted in loss of biological activity.
