An efficient synthesis of 4-alkyl-2(1H)-quinazolinones and 4-alkyl-2-chloroquinazolines from 1-(2-alkynylphenyl)ureas

An efficient synthesis of 4-alkyl-2(1H)-quinazolinones has been achieved by cyclization of 1-(2-alkynylphenyl)ureas (2 R₂ = alkyl) in dichloroethane catalyzed by TfOH. In the case of aryl substitution (2 R₂ = aryl), a mixture of quinazolinone tautomers is obtained in dichloroethane with TFA as co-solvent. Chlorination of the resulting mixture affords 4-alkyl-2-chloro-quinazolines as sole products.

The dianion formed by reduction of (η⁶:η⁶-4,4′-dimethoxybiphenyl)[Cr(CO)₃]₂ reacts with electrophiles such as methyl or ethyl triflate or allyl tosylate at −78 °C followed by CF₃CO₂H and I₂ to form 4-alkyl-4-(4-methoxyphenyl)cyclohex-2-en-1-ones.     

Unconventional nucleotide analogues. 3. 4-(N1-pyrimidyl)-2-aminobutyric acids

Alkylation of 4-ethoxy-2-hydroxypyrimidines (10a, b), via their anions, provides a convenient procedure for preparing N₁-substituted derivatives. Reaction of 10a, b with t-butyl 4-bromo-2-benzyloxycarbamidobutyrate (17) gives good yields of the N₁-alkylated products 18a, b. The latter have been converted to uracil- (20a), thymine- (20b) and cytosine- (21) substituted -aminobutyric acids.

Synthesis and platelet aggregation-inhibitory activities of novel 3-(2-oxopropylidene)azetidin-2-one derivatives. I

Treatment of (E)-3-(2-hydroxypropylidene)-4-methyl-1-phenylazetidin-2-one (11) with 10% Pd/C gave (E)-(12), (Z)-3-(2-oxopropylidene)-4-methyl-1-phenylazetidin-2-one (13), 3,4-cis-(14a) and 3,4-trans-3-(2-oxopropyl)-4-methyl-1-phenylazetidin-2-one (14b). Among them, 12 and 13 were found to show potent inhibitory activities against rabbit platelet-rich plasma aggregation induced by adenosine diphosphate or collagen. Ring-expanded homologous derivatives and an acyclic analogue of 12 were also synthesized and tested for the biological activities. The azetidin-2-one skeleton bearing a 2-oxoalkylidene moiety at the 3 position was found to be essential for the platelet aggregation inhibitory activities of these compounds.     

Efficient synthesis of new 1-alkyl(aryl)-5-(3,3,3-trihalo-2-oxopropylidene)-1H-pyrrol-2(5H)-ones

The synthesis of 1-alkyl(aryl)-5-(3,3,3-trihalo-2-oxopropylidene)-1H-pyrrol-2(5H)-ones 5, 6a-d from 1-alkyl(aryl)-4-bromo-5-(3,3,3-trihalo-2-oxopropylidene)-1H-pyrrolidin-2-ones 3, 4a-d is reported. The 1-alkyl(aryl)-4-bromo-5-(3,3,3-trihalo-2-oxopropylidene)-1H-pyrrolidin-2-ones 3, 4a-d were obtained from regiospecific bromination of 1-alkyl(aryl)-5-(3,3,3-trihalo-2-oxopropylidene)-1H-pyrrolidin-2-ones 1, 2a-d with molecular bromine. The NMR and X-ray diffraction data showed that 1-alkyl(aryl)-5-(3,3,3-trihalo-2-oxopropylidene)-1H-pyrrolidin-2-ones were brominated at 4-position in the pyrrolidin-2-one ring.     

Reactions of 2-alkyl-, 2-phenyl- and 2-alkoxy-1,2-oxaborolanes with (dichloromethyl)lithium. A novel synthesis of 1,4-alkanediols.

N,1-(15)N2]-2'-deoxyadenosines

[reaction: see text] An efficient route to deoxyadenosine derivatives labeled on both the amino group and nitrogen 1 is uncovered. First, 3',5'-di-O-acetyl-2'-deoxy-1-(2-nitrobenzenesulfonyl)inosine (2a) and only 1.1 equiv of (15)NH4Cl are used for labeling position 1 (1a) through the isolation of the open intermediate and its cyclization with DBU in anhydrous CH3CN. Inosine 1a is then converted to [N,1-(15)N2]-3',5'-di-O-acetyl-N6-benzoyl-2'-deoxyadenosine (5a, the precursor of 6a) via a Pd/dppf-catalyzed chloride-to-benzamide replacement, by using again only 1.1 equiv of the labeling source.

A general practical asymmetric synthesis of (1S,2R)-(+)-5-methoxy-1-methyl-2-(di-n-propylamino)tetralin hydrochloride (UH-232) was developed in a short and efficient method in high optical purity starting from commercially available 5-methoxy-1-tetralone. Asymmetric hydroboration of 5-methoxy-1-methyl-3,4-dihydronaphthalene with monoisopinocampheylborane followed by treatment with NaOH/H₂O₂ afforded key intermediate tetrahydronaphthol 4. Compound 4 was converted to the target molecule 1 using straightforward reactions.
