Synthesis of 1,4-benzodiazepine-3,5-diones

Even though benzodiazepines have a strong position in medicinal chemistry, very few synthetic routes to 1H-1,4-benzodiazepine-3,5(2H,4H)-diones have ever been published and the claimed products have often been poorly characterized. Through the present work several 1H-1,4-benzodiazepine-3,5(2H,4H)-diones have become available from N-carbamoylmethylanthranilic acids. The required ring closures were achieved only when the amino groups of the starting materials were substituted with electron withdrawing groups such as acetyl, alkyloxycarbonyl, or nitroso. During the synthetic work a novel ring contraction rearrangement from a 1-nitroso-1H-1,4-benzodiazepine-3,5(2H,4H)-dione to a 3H-quinazoline-4-one was observed. The proposed mechanism involves elimination of HNO followed by a proton-mediated loss of CO. The 1-nitrosated 1,4-benzodiazepinediones could be separately denitrosated to the corresponding amino compounds.     

Synthesis of novel 4-amino-1,4-benzodiazepine-2,5-diones for anticonvulsant testing

A series of novel 4-amino-1,4-benzodiazepine-2,5-diones was synthesized via two pathways. The first method involved reductive alkylation of unsymmetrical hydrazines with glyoxylic acid, followed by Fisher esterification. The resulting N-aminoglycinate ethyl ester was subsequently o-nitrobenzoylated, reduced, and thermally cyclized to obtain 4-dialkylaminobenzodiazepinones. In the second method methylhydrazine was acetylated at N_α then benzoylated at N_β to give 1,2-diacylhydrazines. Alkylation with ethyl bromoacetate and reduction of the nitro group, followed by thermal cyclization yielded 4-acetamidobenzodiazepinones. All title compounds were evaluated in mice in MES seizure and sc Met seizure threshold tests for anticonvulsant activity, and in the rotorod test for neurotoxicity. Activity and toxicity were both minimal.     

Solid-phase synthesis of 4-methylcarboxy-1,4-benzodiazepine-2,5-diones

A solid-phase synthesis of 1,4-benzodiazepinone-2,5-diones is described. This new route can afford benzodiazepinone bearing a N-urethane-protected amine and a carboxylic acid function. This kind of building block is valuable as a dipeptide mimic or beta-turn mimetic, and it can be introduced in place of any amino acid in peptide synthesis. Using an "analytical probe" strategy, we optimized the synthesis of a model compound on SynPhase Lanterns. Therefore, the efficiency of several linkers was investigated.     

Synthesis and Pyrolysis of Tetrahydro-1,4-oxazine-3,5-diones and Tetrahydro-1,4-thiazine-3,5-diones

The reaction conditions were mild and the overall yields of the products ranged from 45% to 71%.     

Solid-phase synthesis of 7-acylamino-1,4-benzodiazepine-2,5-diones

A method for the synthesis of polymer-bound 7-acylamino-benzodiazepine-2,5-diones is described. The amino group of an alpha-amino acid is linked to polystyrene or TentaGel resin via reductive amination of polymer-bound 4-alkoxy-2,6-dimethoxybenzaldehyde. Acylation with unprotected 5-nitroanthranilic acid is followed by base-catalyzed ring closure. Reduction of the nitro group yields enantiomerically pure 7-aminobenzodiazepin-2,5-dione attached via the N-4 atom to the resin. Acylation of the amino group on the aromatic ring with acid chlorides in N-methylpyrrolidone (no DMF, no base!) followed by cleavage from the resin using TFA/Me(2)S/water (90:5:5) provides the acylated benzodiazepinones in 52-69% (PS resin) and 41-48% (TG resin) yield (based on the theoretical loading) and >70% purity (HPLC, 210 nm). Using Fmoc-protected tyrosine fluoride in NMP gives the amino acid-coupled benzodiazepinones in 24% (PS resin) and 31% (TG resin) yield.     

Novel synthesis of N(4)-substituted 1,4-benzodiazepine-2,5-diones using poly(ethylene glycol) as soluble polymer support

An efficient method for the liquid-phase combinatorial synthesis of N4-substituted 1,4-benzodiazepine-2,5-diones has been developed. Poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) stepwise reacted with bromoacetyl bromide, a primary amine and 2-azidobenzoic acid to give a potential PEG-bound dipeptide, which was reduced by NaI / acetic acid, along with concurrent cyclization and cleavage of the seven-membered heterocycle from the PEG support.     

Enantioselective synthesis of diversely substituted quaternary 1,4-benzodiazepin-2-ones and 1,4-benzodiazepine-2,5-diones

Benzodiazepines are privileged scaffolds in medicinal chemistry, but enantiopure examples containing quaternary stereogenic centers are extremely rare. We demonstrate that installation of the di(p-anisyl)methyl (DAM) group at N1 of 1,4-benzodiazepin-2-ones and 1,4-benzodiazepine-2,5-diones derived from enantiopure proteinogenic amino acids allows retentive replacement of the C3-proton via a deprotonation/trapping protocol. A wide variety of carbon and nitrogen electrophiles function well in this reaction, providing the corresponding quaternary benzodiazepines with excellent enantioselectivity. Deprotonation/trapping experiments on a pair of diastereomeric 1,4-benzodiazepine-2,5-diones provide evidence for a key role of conformational chirality in these enantioselective reactions. Acidic removal of the DAM group is fast and high-yielding and can be performed selectively in the presence of a N-Boc indole. Thus the synthesis of quaternary benzodiazepines with diverse N1 functionality can now be accomplished.     

Synthesis of novel pyridazino[4,5-b][1,4]oxazine-3,5-diones

Highly enantioselective synthesis of rigid, quaternary 1,4-benzodiazepine-2,5-diones derived from proline

[reaction: see text] Proline-derived 1,4-benzodiazepine-2,5-diones are extremely useful scaffolds in medicinal chemistry. In this paper, we describe a protocol for retentive C3 alkylation of these materials, thus accomplishing the direct synthesis of enantiopure quaternary 1,4-benzodiazepine-2,5-diones. The high enantioselectivities (up to 99.5%) are attributed to memory of chirality.     

Liquid-phase combinatorial synthesis of 1,4-benzodiazepine-2,5-diones as the candidates of endothelin receptor antagonism

A library of 1,4-benzodiazepine-2,5-dione dicarboxylate derivatives containing aryl substituents at N(1)- and N(4)-positions to mimic the amino acid residues of Try-13, Phe-14, and Asp-18 in endothelin-1 is established by using the starting materials of alpha-amino esters, hydroxybenzaldehydes, nitrobenzoyl chlorides, and benzyl bromides in a polyethylene resin-bound liquid-phase synthesis. All of the six synthetic steps are conducted under mild conditions to give the desired products with reasonable yields and purity. The poly(ethylene glycol) support plays as a part of ester linkage that is released at the final step.
