Microwave assisted synthesis of novel imidazo [2,1-b]thiazole derivative attached to quinoxalinones

3-(6-Phenylimidazo[2,1-b]thiazol-5-yl)quinoxalin-2(1H)-ones (qunoxalinone) (6a-q) have been synthesized by the reaction of ethyl 2-oxo-2-(6-phenylimidazo[2,1-b]thiazol-5-yl)acetates (4a-e) with suitably substituted o-phenylenediamines (5a-f) under microwave heating. The ethyl 2-oxo-2-(6-phenylimidazo[2,1-b]thiazol-5-yl)acetates (4a-e) were prepared by the reaction of 6-phenylimidazo[2,1-b]thiazoles (3a-e) with ethyl chlorooxoacetate in refluxing 1,4-dioxane whereas the thiazoles (3a-e) were synthesized by the reaction of 2-bromo-1-phenylethanones (2a-e) with thiazol-2-amine in refluxing acetone.     

Substituent-induced regioselective synthesis of 1,2-teraryls and pyrano[3,4-c]pyran-4,5-diones from 2H-pyran-2-ones

Substituent-controlled regioselective synthesis of highly functionalized 1,2-teraryls 3a-k has been achieved through ring transformation of 6-aryl-4-(pyrrolidin-1-yl/piperidin-1-yl)-2H-pyran-2-one-3-carbonitriles 1a-g by aryl acetones 2a-c in the presence of powdered KOH in DMF in very good yield. Under similar reaction conditions, 6-aryl-4-methylsulfanyl-2H-pyran-2-ones 5a-f afforded 1,7-diaryl-2-methyl-4H,5H-pyrano[3,4-c]pyran-4,5-diones 6a-j as major products and 3,4-diaryl-2-methyl-6-methylsulfanylbenzonitriles as minor constituents 7a-j.     

Synthesis of 9-arylamino- and (Z)-9-arylimino-9H-pyrrolo[1,2-a]indoles by reactions of 2-(pyrrol-1-yl)benzaldehydes with aryl amines

Heating mixtures of 2-(pyrrol-1-yl)benzaldehydes and aryl amines under argon afforded 9-arylamino-9H-pyrrolo[1,2-a]indoles, via cyclization of the resulting 2-(pyrrol-1-yl)benzaldimine intermediates. Heating in the presence of oxygen afforded (Z)-9-arylimino-9H-pyrrolo[1,2-a]indoles, which were successfully hydrolyzed with hydrochloric acid to give pyrrolo[1,2-a]indol-9-ones.     

One-pot synthesis of quinazolin-4(3H)-ones and fused quinazolinones by a palladium-catalyzed domino process

An efficient one-pot synthesis of quinazolin-4(3H)-ones, benzoimidazo[2,1-b]quinazolin-12(6H)-ones and imidazo[2,1-b]quinazolin-5(1H)-ones via a palladium-catalyzed domino process has been developed. The Pd-catalyzed reactions of 2-azidobenzamides 1 with isocyanides 2 produced quinazolin-4(3H)-ones 4 at room temperature by a domino Pd-catalyzed cross-coupling/carbodiimide-mediated cyclization. However, as 2-azido-N-(2-bromophenyl)benzamides 1 were used under heating condition in the presence of Cs₂CO₃, the benzoimidazo[2,1-b]quinazolin-12(6H)-ones 5 were directly obtained by twice Pd-catalyzed domino cyclization. A domino reogioselective 5-exo-dig intramolecular cyclization reaction of alkynyl-containing azides 6 with isocyanides 2 generated imidazo[2,1-b]quinazolin-5(1H)-ones 9 in 74–93% yields in the presence of catalyst Pd(PPh₃)₄ and K₂CO₃.     

Microwave-assisted Hantzsch thiazole synthesis of N-phenyl-4-(6-phenylimidazo[2,1-b]thiazol-5-yl)thiazol-2-amines from the reaction of 2-chloro-1-(6-phenylimidazo[2,1-b]thiazol-5-yl)ethanones and thioureas

N-Phenyl-4-(6-phenylimidazo[2,1-b]thiazol-5-yl)thiazol-2-amines (6a-q) have been synthesized by the Hantzsch thiazole reaction of 2-chloro-1-(6-phenylimidazo[2,1-b]thiazol-5-yl)ethanones (4a-e) with suitably substituted thioureas using microwave heating. The ethanones (4a-e) were prepared by the reaction of 6-phenylimidazo[2,1-b]thiazoles (3a-e) with chloroacetylchloride in refluxing 1,4-dioxane whereas the thiazoles (3a-e) were synthesized by the reaction of 2-bromo-1-phenylethanones (2a-e) with thiazol-2-amine in refluxing acetone.     

A simple synthesis of 4-(2-aminoethyl)-5-hydroxy-1H-pyrazoles

A simple four-step synthesis of 4-(2-aminoethyl)-5-hydroxy-1H-pyrazoles 8 (or their 1H-pyrazol-3(2H)-one tautomers 8′) as the pyrazole analogues of histamine was developed. First, enamino lactam 3 was prepared as the key intermediate in two steps from 2-pyrrolidinone (1). Next, acid-catalysed ‘ring switching’ transformations of 3 with monosubstituted hydrazines 4 gave N-[(1-substituted 5-hydroxy-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)ethyl]benzamides 7a-k and N-[2-(2-heteroaryl-3-oxo-2,3-dihydro-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)ethyl]benzamides 7′l-o. Benzamides 7a-k and 7′l-o were finally hydrolysed by heating in 6 M hydrochloric acid to furnish 1-substituted 4-(2-aminoethyl)-5-hydroxy-1H-pyrazoles 8a-k and 4-(2-aminoethyl)-2-heteroaryl-1H-pyrazol-3(2H)-ones 8′l-o in good overall yields.     

Synthesis of S,S-dialkyl-N-(9,10-dioxo-9,10-dihydroanthracen-1-yl)sulfoximides and specificities of their base-catalyzed intramolecular heterocyclizations into naphtho[1,2,3-cd]-indol-6(2H)-ones

Heating of 6H-anthra[1,9-cd][1,2]oxazol-6-ones with dialkyl sulfoxides in sulfolane gave S,S-dialkyl-N-(9,10-dioxo-9,10-dihydroanthracen-1-yl)sulfoximides which underwent cyclization to naphtho-[1,2,3-cd]indol-6(2H)-one derivatives on heating in boiling tetrahydrofuran in the presence of sodium methoxide. p-Toluenesulfinic acid was isolated as by-product in the cyclization of S-methyl-S-(4-methylphenyl)-N-(9,10-dioxo-9,10-dihydroanthracen-1-yl)sulfoximide. The heterocyclizations of S,S-dipropyl- and S,S-dibutyl-N-(9,10-dioxo-9,10-dihydroanthracen-1-yl)sulfoximides to 1-ethyl- and 1-propylnaphtho[1,2,3-cd]-indol-6(2H)-ones were accompanied by formation of the corresponding 1-[1-hydroxyethyl(propyl)]naphtho-[1,2,3-cd]indol-6(2H)-ones.     

Specificity of the cyclization of 1-alkyl(aryl)sulfonylamino-9,10-anthraquinones into naphtho[1,2,3-cd]indol-6(2H)-ones

Cyclization of N-(9,10-dioxo-9,10-dihydroanthracen-1-yl)methanesulfonamides to 2,6-dihydronaphtho[1,2,3-cd]indol-6-ones in DMSO-KOH involves intermediate formation of 2,3-dihydroanthra[1,9-cd]-[1λ⁶,2]thiazin-7-one 2,2-dioxides, whereas heterocyclization of N-(9,10-dioxo-9,10-dihydroanthracen-1-yl)-ethane- and -arenesulfonamides under analogous conditions occurs with participation of methylsulfonylmethanide.     

Synthesis and epimerization of 10-N-(6-deoxy-1,2:3,4-di-O-isopropylidene-α-d-galactopyranos-6-yl)-(11aS)-pyrrolo[2,1-c][1,4]benzodiazepin-5,11-dione

The reaction of the 1,2:3,4-di-O-isopropylidene-6-O-tosyl-α-d-galactopyranose 2 with (11aS)-pyrrolo[2,1-c][1,4]benzodiazepin-5,11-dione 1, prepared from l-proline and isatoic anhydride, gave two products which were previously reported as conformational isomers. In this work, an X-ray crystallographic study showed these to be the diastereomeric pair (11aS)- and (11aR)-10-N-(6-deoxy-1,2:3,4-di-O-isopropylidene-α-d-galactopyranos-6-yl)-pyrrolo[2,1-c][1,4]benzodiazepin-5,11-diones as a consequence of C(11a) epimerization in the benzodiazepine moiety during glycosylation under basic reaction conditions. The hydrosolubility of the deprotected products were compared with those of the analogous benzodiazepine derivatives.

A series of 9H-pyrrolo[1,2-a]indol-9-ones have been prepared via in-situ sequential oxidation of [2-(1H-pyrrol-1-yl)phenyl]methanols promoted by active manganese dioxide. The procedure led to title compounds in good yields under mild conditions, without the need to isolate the intermediate aldehydes.     

Divergent synthesis of 6H-isoindolo[2,1-a]indol-6-ones and indenoindolones: an investigation of Pd-catalyzed isocyanide insertion

A novel Pd-catalyzed intramolecular cyclization via tert-butyl isocyanide insertion from 2-(2-bromophenyl)-1H-indoles has been developed, which demonstrates the utility of isocyanides in C–N or C–C bond construction. Treatment of 2-(2-bromophenyl)-1H-indoles with tert-butyl isocyanide affords 6H-isoindolo[2,1-a]indol-6-ones with high efficiency. However, N-methyl or N-Boc protected 2-(2-bromophenyl)-1H-indoles gives indenoindolones in excellent yields under the same condition, which reveals that under the described situation, isocyanides insertion for the formation of C–N bonds is prior to that of C–C bonds.     

An efficient synthesis of (E)-(2-arylpyrazino[1,2-a]pyrimidine-4-ylidene)acetonitriles and cyanomethyl appended pyrimidines

A series of (E)-(2-arylpyrazino[1,2-a]pyrimidine-4-ylidene)acetonitriles 5a-j and aryl/heteroaryl tethered pyrimidin-4-yl acetonitriles 6a-e has been synthesized in excellent yields through base catalyzed ring transformation of suitably functionalized 2H-pyran-2-ones 3 using 2-aminopyrazine 4a and arylamidinium salts 4b, separately.     

Intramolecular N-acyliminium ion versus Friedel-Crafts cyclization onto 3-indoles: synthesis of the novel rings pyrrolizino[2,1-b]indole and homologues

Acid treatment of indole-2-carboxylic acid β- and γ-oxoamides causes Friedel-Crafts intramolecular cyclization to β-carbolinones and dihydro-2H-azepino[3,4-b]indol-1-ones, in contrast to secondary δ-,?-, and ζ-oxoamides, which cyclize to the novel heterocyclic rings pyrrolizino[2,1-b]indole, indolizino[2,1-b]indole, and 9a,11-diaza-indeno[1,2-a]azulene, via an intermediate N-acyliminium ion. Tertiary amides lead only the Friedel-Crafts ring closure, thus allowing the synthesis of larger fused rings.     

One-pot synthesis of 6H-2,2a1,3-triazaaceanthrylen-6-ones and 6H-2,2a1,4-triazaaceanthrylen-6-ones via tandem cyclization strategies

Two operationally simple one-pot protocols have been developed for the synthesis of 6H-2,2a¹,3-triazaaceanthrylen-6-ones and 6H-2,2a¹,4-triazaaceanthrylen-6-ones. The first Pd-catalyzed tandem cyclization of imidazo[1,2-a]pyrimidines/imidazo[1,2-a]pyrazines with 2-chlorobenzaldehydes could proceed in aqueous medium under air, affording the desired products in moderate to good yields. The molecular structures of products 3i and 5b were confirmed by X-ray crystallographic analysis.     

An efficient microwave assisted synthesis of novel class of Rhodanine derivatives as potential HIV-1 and JSP-1 inhibitors

(Z)-5-(2-(1H-Indol-3-yl)-2-oxoethylidene)-3-phenyl-2-thioxothiazolidin-4-one (7a-q) derivatives have been synthesized by the condensation reaction of 3-phenyl-2-thioxothiazolidin-4-ones (3a-h) with suitably substituted 2-(1H-indol-3-yl)-2-oxoacetaldehyde (6a-d) under microwave condition. The thioxothiazolidine-4-ones were prepared from the corresponding aromatic amines (1a-e) and di-(carboxymethyl)-trithiocarbonyl (2). The aldehydes (6a-h) were synthesized from the corresponding acid chlorides (5a-d) using HSnBu₃.

5,8a,11a,11b-Tetrahydroisoxazolo[5′,4′:3,4]pyrrolo[2,1-a]isoquinolin-8(6H)-ones were prepared by intramolecular cyclization of 5-(2-arylethyl)-6-hydroxytetrahydro-4H-pyrrolo[3,4-d]isoxazol-4-ones in the presence of boron trifluoride diethyl etherate.     

Synthesis of 6H-isoindolo[2,1-a]indol-6-ones through a sequential copper-catalyzed C-N coupling and palladium-catalyzed C–H activation reaction

A series of 6H-isoindolo[2,1-a]indol-6-ones were synthesized through one-pot sequential coupling reactions, which were comprised of a copper-catalyzed C–N coupling cyclization and a palladium-catalyzed C–H activation course. General chemicals benzoyl chlorides and o-gem-dibromovinyl anilines were employed as the starting substrates.     

Condensation of 1-Substituted 1,2,3,9a-Tetrahydro-9H-imidazo[1,2-a]indol-2-one Derivatives with Aromatic Aldehydes

Condensation of 1-alkyl-, 1-allyl-, and 1-benzyl-1,2,3,9a-tetrahydro-9H-imidazo[1,2-a]indol-2-ones with benzaldehydes in acetic acid and subsequent treatment of the reaction mixture with potassium hydroxide afforded 1-substituted 9a-(2-phenylethenyl)-1,2,3,9a-tetrahydro-9H-imidazo[1,2-a]indol-2-one derivatives. 1-Methyl- and 1-ethyl-9a-[2-(4-dimethylaminophenyl)ethenyl]-1,2,3,9a-tetrahydro-9H-imidazo[1,2-a]indol-2-ones were synthesized by alkylation of 9a-[2-(4-dimethylaminophenyl)ethenyl]-1,2,3,9a-tetrahydro-9H-imidazo[1,2-a]indol-2-one with methyl- and ethyl iodides in DMF in the presence of a strong base.     

Investigations in the field of benzoxa- zines. 15*. Tandem heterocyclizations with the participion of 2-formylbenzoic acid. The synthesis of isoindolo[1,2-<Emphasis Type="Italic">b</Emphasis>][1, 3]- and -[2,1-<Emphasis Type="Italic">a</Emphasis>][1, 3]benzoxazinones

Single stage reactions of 2-formylbenzoic acids with substituted 2-(1-aminoalkyl)phenols and 2-amino-phenylcarbinols give a novel series of isomeric isoindolobenzoxazinones. X-ray analysis was used to study the molecular structure of 9-bromo-5,5-diphenyl-5H-isoindolo[2,1-a][1, 3]benzoxazin-11(6aH)-one and 2-bromo-8,10-dimethyl-10H-isoindolo[1,2-b][1, 3]-benzoxazin-12(4bH)-one.
