Synthesis of a novel class of 3‐(2′‐benzothiazolyl)‐2,3‐dihydroquinazolin‐4(1H)‐ones under solvent‐free and catalyst‐free conditions

A solvent‐ and catalyst‐free one‐pot three‐component condensation reaction approach was developed for the synthesis of a new class of 3‐(2′‐benzothiazolyl)‐2,3‐dihydroquinazolin‐4(1H)‐ones in relatively good yields.     

Synthetic and spectroscopic studies of some new 2‐[1‐aryl‐4{4‐methoxyphenyl}‐6‐thioxo‐1,6‐dihydro‐1,3,5‐triazinyl]amino/hydrazonothiazolidin‐4‐ones

A series of 4‐thiazolidinones having triazinethione moieties have been synthesized by the systematic chemical modification of S‐benzylmercapto‐1‐aryl‐4‐(4‐methoxyphenyl)‐1,6‐dihydro‐1,3,5‐triazine‐6‐thione.     

Synthesis of new spiro‐[isothiochromene‐3,5′‐isoxazolidin]‐4(1H)‐ones

A series of seven new 2′,3′,4′‐substituted spiro[isothiochromene‐3,5′‐isoxazolidin]‐4(1H)‐ones ( 7‐13 ) has been prepared in the reaction of benzylidene(phenyl)azane oxide ( 5 ) or benzylidene(methyl)azane oxide ( 6 ) with (3Z)‐3‐(4‐substituted‐benzylidene)‐1H‐isothio‐ chromen‐4(3H)‐one ( 1‐4 ). The reaction occurs by a 1,3‐dipolar cycloaddition mechanism that leads to the regiospecific formation of various spiroisoxazolidines ( 7‐13 ).     

Regioselective synthesis of pentacyclic polyheterocycles: Sequential [3,3] sigmatropic rearrangement of 4‐(4′‐aryloxybut‐2′‐ynyloxy)‐1‐phenyl‐1,8‐naphthyridin‐2(1H)‐ones

A number of 4‐aryloxymethyl‐6‐phenyl‐2H‐pyrano[3,2‐c][1,8]naphthyridin‐5(6H)‐ones ( 4a‐f ) are regioselectively synthesized in 72‐78% yield by the Claisen rearrangement of 4‐(4′‐aryloxybut‐2′‐ynyloxy)‐1‐phenyl‐1,8‐naphthyridin‐2(1H)‐ones ( 3a‐f ) in refluxing chlorobenzene for 4‐6 h. These products are then subjected to a second Claisen rearrangement catalyzed by anhydrous AlCl₃ at room temperature for 2 h to give hitherto unreported pentacyclic heterocycles ( 5a‐f ) in 78‐85% yield.     

Syntheses of acyclic C‐glycosidic derivatives of 1,2,4‐triazoles by cycloadditions of 1‐aza‐2‐azoniaallene salts to D‐glucononitrile‐2,3,4,5,6‐pentaacetate

Reported are preparations of acyclic derivatives of 1,2,4‐triazole‐5‐glycosidies 9 by cycloadditions of 1‐aza‐2‐azonia‐allene salts 3 to the nitrile group of D‐glucononitrile‐2,3,4,5,6‐pentaacetate 5 affording triazolium salts 8 , which with aqueous sodium hydogencarbonate are hydrolyzed to 9 . Deacetylation of compounds 9 produced the C‐glycosides 10 .     

Novel azaandrostane derivatives for the synthesis of 17β‐(N‐tert‐butyl carbamoyl)‐4‐aza‐5α‐androst‐1‐ene‐3‐one

A new industrially viable process for the preparation of 1β‐(N‐tert‐butyl carbamoyl)‐4‐aza‐5α‐androst‐1‐ene‐3‐one, also known by the generic name finasteride ( 6 ) from the new azaandrostane derivatives such as 1β‐(N‐tert‐butyl carbamoyl)‐4‐benzoyl‐4‐aza‐5α‐androstane‐3‐one ( 4 ), 1β‐(N‐tert‐butyl carbamoyl)‐4‐benzoyl‐4‐aza‐5α‐androst‐1‐ene‐3‐one ( 5 ) is reported. In this process, benzoyl group is demonstrated as a novel protecting group for lactamic NH group. The structures of newly prepared compounds were established on the basis of spectral data (IR, ¹H‐NMR, and MS).
