Alpha-(N-carbamoyl)alkylcuprate chemistry in the synthesis of nitrogen heterocycles

The conjugate adducts obtained via coupling of alpha-(N-carbamoyl)alkylcuprates with alpha,beta-ynoates, alpha-allenyl esters, or alpha.beta-enoates or enimides undergo N-Boc deprotection and cyclization onto the ester functionality upon treatment with PhOH/TMSCl, catecholboron bromide, or trimethylsilyl triflate. This two-pot sequence provides synthetic routes to 4-alkylidinepyrrolidine-2-ones, 4-alkylidinepyrrolizidin-2-ones, and 4-alkylidineindolizidin-2-ones via allenyl esters; pyrrolin-2-ones, tetrahydropyrrolizin-2-ones, and tetrahydroindolizin-2-ones via alpha/beta-ynoates; pyrrolidin-2-ones, pyrrolizidin-2-ones, and indolizidin-2-ones via alpha,beta-enoates or alpha.beta-enimides. The reluctance of gamma-carbamoyl-alpha,beta-enoates to undergo E/Z isomerization requires the use of (Z)-beta-iodo-alpha,beta-enoates readily prepared by the addition of HI to the alkynyl esters for the efficient preparation of pyrrolinones, tetrahydropyrrolizinones, and tetrahydroindolizinones. Utilization of omega-functionalized alpha,eta-ynoates or beta-iodo-alpha,beta-enoates allows for cyclization onto the omega-functionality providing for a synthetic route to quinolizidines.     

Synthesis and some transformations of 5-benzotriazolyl-3,4-dihydropyrid-2-ones

5-(Benzotriazolyl)-substituted 3,4-dihydropyrid-2-ones were obtained by condensation of 4-benzo-triazolyl-5-phenyl(methyl)-5-oxopentanoic acids with benzyl or aryl amines. Dehydrogenation of 3,4-dihydropyrid-2-ones resulted in 5-benzotriazolyl-substituted pyrid-2-ones and/or 5-(phenylamino)pyrid-2-ones, products of nitrogen elimination from the benzotriazolyl substituent. In turn, 5-benzotriazol-1-yl-substituted pyrid-2-ones eliminated nitrogen under Graebe-Ullmann conditions to give indolopyridones.     

One-pot synthesis of benzo[f]quinolin-3-ones and benzo[a]phenanthridein-5-ones by the photoanuulation of 6-chloropyridin-2-ones and 3-chloroisoquinolin-1-ones to phenylacetylene

The one-pot synthesis of benzo[f]quinolin-3-ones and benzo[a]phenanthridein-5-ones was achieved by the inter- and intramolecular photoannulation of 6-chloropyridin-2-ones and 3-chloroisoquinolin-1-ones with phenylacetylene or tethered phenylacetylene. The reactions were proceeded by photoaddition of 6-chloropyridin-2-ones and 3-chloroisoquinolin-1-ones to phenylacetylene to give the chlorine-substituted stilbenoids, and then 6π electrocyclization of the stilbenoids and oxidation aromatization to afford the polycyclic products.     

Base-catalyzed intramolecular heterocyclization of o-alkynylbenzhydrazides

The reaction of methyl o-(2-R-ethynyl)benzoates with hydrazine affords either fused 4-R-methylphthalazin-1-ones or 2-amino-3-R-methylideneisoindolin-1-ones. The latter are on treatment with KOH undergo recyclization into the corresponding 4-R-methylphthalazin-1-ones.     

(l)-Proline-catalysed novel tandem reactions of 1-substituted piperidin-4-ones with (E)-4-arylbut-3-en-2-ones: N-substituent mediated product selectivity and synthesis of novel nitrogen heterocycles

(l)-Proline-catalysed reaction of 1-alkyl/aralkylpiperidin-4-ones with (E)-4-arylbut-3-en-2-ones furnishes novel isoquinoline derivatives, with two or three rings, in good yields via tandem Robinson annulation-Michael addition(s) sequences, while the reaction of 1-arylpiperidin-4-ones with (E)-4-arylbut-3-en-2-ones affords 3-azabicyclo[3.3.1]nonan-9-ones via a tandem Michael addition-aldol reaction sequence.     

Reactions of 3-hydroxy-1,2-dihydroquinazolin-4-ones with aldehydes

The reactions of 3-hydroxy-2-(2-hydroxyalkyl)- [or (2-hydroxyaryl)]-1,2-dihydro-quinazolin-4-ones with formaldehyde or acetaldehyde afford 1,3-oxazino[3,4-a]quinazolin-4-one derivatives. The reactions with other aldehydes RCHO and 3-hydroxy-2-R′-1,2-dihydroquinazolin-4-ones can give 3-hydroxy-2-R-1,2-dihydroquinazolin-4-ones, 2-substituted quinazolin-4-ones, or dianthranilide.

The reaction of 3-(1-imidazolyl)-2-alken-1-ones with nucleophiles

Generally 3-hetero-substituted 2-alken-1-ones were prepared from 1,3-alkanediones, 3-chloro-2-alken-1-ones, or conjugated ynones. The preparation of 3-hetero-substituted 2-alken-1-ones was subjected to some limitations by these methods. By the reaction of 3-(1-imidazolyl)-2-alken-1-ones (I) and 3-(3-oxo-1-alkenyl)-1-methylimidazolium iodides (II) with nucleophiles, 3-hetero-substituted 2-alken-1-ones could be obtained regioselectively in good yield under mild conditions. These results suggested that compounds I and II were concluded to be useful intermediates for the organic synthesis.

A novel route to substituted 3-methylidenechroman-2-ones and 3-methylchromen-2-ones

3-Methylidenechroman-2-ones, or their rearrangement products 3-methylchromen-2-ones, were efficiently synthesized by Michael addition of various nucleophiles to 3-diethoxyphosphorylchromen-2-ones followed by Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons reaction of the adducts with formaldehyde. Relative configuration and conformation of the intermediate adducts were studied using NMR spectroscopy and semiempirical PM3 calculations.     

Novel diastereoselective synthesis of bicyclic beta-lactams through radical cyclization and their reduction toward 2-(1-alkoxy-2-hydroxyethyl)piperidines and 2-(1-alkoxy-2-hydroxyethyl)azepanes

1-Allyl- and 1-(3-phenylallyl)-substituted 4-(2-bromo-1,1-dimethylethyl)azetidin-2-ones were transformed into 3-substituted 7-alkoxy-5,5-dimethyl-1-azabicyclo[4.2.0]octane-8-ones through radical cyclization by means of n-tributyltin hydride and AIBN in toluene with excellent diastereocontrol (>or=99%). The radical cyclization of 4-(2-bromo-1,1-dimethylethyl)-1-(2-methylallyl)azetidin-2-ones afforded 8-alkoxy-3,6,6-trimethyl-1-azabicyclo[5.2.0]nonan-9-ones in good diastereomeric excess (75-78%). The reductive ring opening of 1-azabicyclo[4.2.0]octane-8-ones and 1-azabicyclo[5.2.0]nonan-9-ones with lithium aluminum hydride resulted in novel 2-(1-alkoxy-2-hydroxyethyl)piperidines and -azepanes, which were isolated as single isomers.     

Reactions of 1-(4-aminosulfonylphenyl)-5-aryl-4-aroyl-3-hydroxy-3-pyrrolin-2-ones with arylamines and hydrazine hydrate

Depending on the reaction condition, 1-(4-aminosulfonylphenyl)-5-aryl-4-aroyl-3-hydroxy-3-pyrrolin-2-ones reacted with aromatic amines to yield 3-arylamino-3-pyrrolin-2-ones or 4-[aryl (arylamino) methylene]tetrahydropyrrole-2,3-diones. Reactions of 1-(4-aminosulfonylphenyl)-5-aryl-4-aroyl-3-hydroxy-3-pyrrolin-2-ones with hydrazine hydrate afforded pyrrolo[3,4-c]pyrazol-6-ones.     

Recent development in the synthesis of pyrrolin-4-ones/pyrrolin-3-ones

Pyrrolin-4-ones/pyrrolin-3-ones and its derivatives are important heterocyclic systems which are observed in vast variety of natural products, pharmaceuticals, and biologically important compounds. Different researchers all across the world have developed different synthetic methodologies for the construction of functionalized pyrrolin-4-ones/pyrrolin-3-one scaffolds such as the transition-metal catalyzed/mediated cycloisomerizations of 1-aminoynones and dimerization of enaminones or α-diazo-β-oxoamides etc. The present review article summarizes various reports on the synthesis of various simple and functionalized pyrrolin-4-ones/pyrrolin-3-ones from 2000 onward.     

A convenient synthesis of 1,3-oxazolidin-4-ones and 1,3-oxazin-4-ones

1,3-Oxazolidin-4-ones and 1,3-oxazin-4-ones were synthesized by formal cyclocondensation of imines with α- or β-hydroxy acids.     

Synthesis of unsymmetrical 3,3'-biquinazoline-2,2'-diones by condensation of 3-aminoquinazolinones with benzoxazinones; fortuitous discovery, and further syntheses of 4-H-3-oxo-1,9a,10-triazaanthracen-9-ones

Condensation of 2-alkyl- or 2-aryl-3-aminoquinazolin-4-ones with benz[1,3]oxazin-4-ones gives the unsymmetrical 2,2' disubstituted 3,3' biquinazoline-4,4'-diones. The reaction is tolerant to a range of heteroatom and unsaturated functionality in the quinazolinone 2-position. However, treatment of 3-amino-2-hydroxymethyl-3H-quinazolin-4-ones with benz[1,3]oxazinone at high temperatures gave 4H-3-oxo-1,9a,10-triazaanthracen-9-ones, an unreported fused heterocyclic system, a more direct synthesis of which, replacing benzoxazinones with orthoesters is presented.     

A facile Lewis acid-promoted allylation of azetidin-2-ones

Exposure of 3α-chloro-3-phenylthioazetidin-2-ones and allyltrimethylsilane to a Lewis acid promotes a remarkably facile and stereoselective C-3 allylation to give 3α-allyl-3-phenylthioazetidin-2-ones 4 in excellent yield. These allylated azetidin-2-ones undergo smooth desulphurization with tri-n-butyltin hydride or Raney-nickel producing cis-3-allyl- and cis-3-propylazetidin-2-ones.     

An approach to substituted 4-hydroxypyran-2-ones

We examined a method for the preparation of 4-hydroxypyran-2-ones in two steps from aryl ketones and ethyl malonyl chloride (or ethyl 2-methylmalonyl chloride). These 4-hydroxypyran-2-ones are useful precursors as they may be transformed in two steps to the 2-methoxypyran-4-ones, which is found in phenoxan—a naturally occurring compound discovered to have anti-HIV activity.     

Acylation of 1-arylpyrazolidin-3-ones

Acylation of 1-arylpyrazolidin-3-ones using aromatic acid anhydrides and chlorides in the presence of base occurs principally at the oxygen atom to give 1-aryl-3-acyloxy-2-pyrazolines, subsequent heating or microwave irradiation of which leads to the corresponding N-acylpyrazolidin-3-ones. The action of aliphatic acid anhydrides and chlorides on 1-arylpyrazolidin-3-ones gives predominantly the N-acylpyrazolidin-3-ones.M. V. Lomonosov State University, Moscow 119899, Russia.

Practical synthesis of 3-bromo-5,6-dihydropyridin-2-ones via β,γ-unsaturated α-bromo-ketene/imine cycloaddition

An approach to 3-bromo-4-alkyl-6-aryl-5,6-dihydropyridin-2-ones and 3-bromo-5-ethyl-6-aryl-5,6-dihydropyridin-2-ones starting from β,γ-unsaturated α-bromoketenes and imines is reported. The presence of a bromine atom on the double bond allows performing aziridination or bromine displacement with an amine. The reaction gave fused bicyclic N-allyl-aziridines or 3-amino-substituted 5,6-dihydropyridin-2-ones, depending on the substituents on the six-membered ring.     

Isothiazoles I: 4-isothiazolin-3-ones. A general synthesis from 3,3′-dithiodipropionamides

The syntheses of 3-hydroxyisothiazole, 4-methyl-3-hydroxyisothiazole, and a eomprehensive series of the respective 2-substituted-4-isothiazoIin-3-ones have been achieved by the one-step chlorination-cyclization of the corresponding 3,3 -dithiodipropionamides. In several instances, 5-chloro-4-isothiazolin-3-ones were isolated as side products; however, no 4-chloro-4-isothiazo-lin-3-ones were evident in the reaction mixtures. These observations, coupled with the exclusive 4- or 4,5-halogenation of several preformed 4-isothiazoIin-3-ones, support a proposed reaction pathway involving introduction of chlorine α to the sulfur atom in intermediate reaction products.
