New syntheses of 7-substituted-2-aminothieno- and furo[3,2-d]pyrimidines

In a recent publication, we have the described the synthesis of 7-substituted-2-amino-1,5-dihydro-4H-pyrrolo[3,2-d]pyrimidin-4-ones which are potent inhibitors of the enzyme Purine Nucleoside Phosphorylase from the corresponding 3-aminopyrroIe-2-carboxylate esters. A key step in the synthesis is condensation of the amino group with the highly reactive guanylating reagents 3 or 4 followed by annulation. The furo[3,2-d]pyrimidin-4-one and thieno[3,2-d]pyridin-4-one are closely related rings systems. However, these rings have not been reported in the literature with a 2-amino, substituent which would arise from such guanylation reactions. In this report, the syntheses of the novel furans 5 are described based on our improved pyrrole synthesis (Scheme 1). The syntheses of the novel thiophenes 6 are described. The guanylation of 5 and 6 were studied and compared to 2. The 3-amino group of 5 and 6 failed to react with 3 or 4 under mild acid catalysis; conditions under which 2 easily condensed. Guanylation was finally achieved by generating the carbodiimide intermediate of 3 under mercury catalysis affording the guanylated adducts which were converted to the novel 2-aminothieno- and furo[3,2-d]pyrimidin-4-ones 16.     

Synthesis of 2-substituted-7-azaindoles from 2-amino-3-picolin

An easy route to the synthesis of 2-substituted-7-azaindole derivatives has been developed. The carbinol intermediate dissolved in DMF undergoes cyclization upon treatment with sodium hydride, trifluoroacetic anhydride, and trifluoroacetic acid at 120 °C in a straightforward and one-pot step. An alternative methodology using (CF₃SO₂)₂O in acetonitrile in basic media followed by the addition of CF₃COOH affords the expected 2-substituted azaindole in best yields.     

Synthesis of some 7-substituted 3-chloro-3,4-dihydro-1-hydroxycarbostyrils by the reduction cyclization of α-chloro-β-(4-substituted-2-nitrophenyl)propionic acids

A new method was developed for the synthesis of some 7-substituted 3-chloro-3,4-dihydro-l-hydroxycarbostyrils 3c-g in which α-chloro-β-(4-substituted-2-nitrophenyl)propionic acids 2c-g were reductively cyclized by catalytic hydrogenation over platinum-on-carbon sulfided catalyst. In particular, this method was applied to α-chloro-β-(2-nitrophenyl)propionic acids bearing 4-methyl 2c , 4-ethyl 2d , 4-ethoxy 2e , 4-(n-butyl 2f and 4-phenyl 2g substituents to afford good yields of the corresponding 7-methyl 3c , 7-ethyl 3d , 7-ethoxy 3e , 7-(n-butyl) 3f , and 7-phenyl 3g substituted 3-chloro-3,4-dihydro-l-hydroxycarbostyrils. The various 4-substituted α-chloro-β-(2-nitrophenyl)propionic acids 2c-q were synthesized by reacting the in situ diazotized salts of the appropriate 4-substituted-2-nitroanilines in aqueous acetone with acrylic acid in the presence of cuprous chloride and hydrochloric acid. All compounds prepared in this study were characterized by microanalytical and ir and nmr spectral data.

Quinolone antibacterials. 1. 7-(2-substituted-4-thiazolyl and thiazolidinyl)quinolones

A series of 7-(2-substituted-4-thiazolyl and thiazolidinyl)-1-ethyl-1,4-dihydro-4-oxoquinoline-3-carboxylic acids and their 6-fluoro analogues were synthesized. The Hantzsch method was used for the preparation of the thiazolylquinolones. The thiazolidinylquinolones were synthesized by quaternization of the corresponding thiazolyl analogues, followed by reduction of the obtained thiazolium salts with sodium borohydride in aqueous solution. Antibacterial activity was tested in vitro. Most of the compounds were inactive against Gram-negative bacteria but some of them showed however good activity against Gram-positive bacteria and mycobacteria. This activity pattern is rarely found among the quinolone antibacterials.     

Improved syntheses of 5-substituted-4-amino-3-mercapto-(4H)-1,2,4-triazoles

Two improved methods have been developed for the synthesis of 5-substiluted-4-amino-3-mercapto-(4H)-1,2,4-triazoles. One of these involves the direct hydrazinolysis of potassium 3-aroyldithiocarbazates and the other involves ring-opening and reclosure of 5-substituted-2-mereapto-1,3,4-oxadiazoles to the aminomercaptotriazoles. Both of these methods offer advantages over the classic Hoggarth synthesis.
