Microwave-assisted one-pot regioselective synthesis of 2-alkyl-3,4-dihydro-3-oxo-2H-1,4-benzoxazines

A protocol for regioselective one-pot synthesis of 2-alkyl-3,4-dihydro-3-oxo-2H-1,4-benzoxazines under controlled microwave heating has been developed. Starting from commercially available 2-aminophenols, a base-mediated regioselective O-alkylation took place with 2-bromoalkanoates to give the acyclic intermediates, which underwent spontaneously an intramolecular amidation reaction to furnish 2-alkyl-3,4-dihydro-3-oxo-2H-1,4-benzoxazines in 44-82% yields. For the acyclic intermediate possessing an electron-withdrawing group, microwave heating was necessary for the annulation reaction.

Synthesis and anticancer activity studies of novel 1-(2,3-dihydro-5H-1,4-benzodioxepin-3-yl)uracil and (6′-substituted)-7- or 9-(2,3-dihydro-5H-1,4-benzodioxepin-3-yl)-7H- or 9H-purines

On the basis of a molecular variation on an isosteric replacement (F→H) from the prototype (RS)-1-(2,3-dihydro-5H-1,4-benzodioxepin-3-yl)-5-fluorouracil, the derivative (RS)-1-(2,3-dihydro-5H-1,4-benzodioxepin-3-yl)uracil 4 was prepared. Later on, the pyrimidine base was substituted by the purine moiety with the objective of increasing both the lipophilicity and the structural diversity of the target molecules. The 6′-halogen substituent of the (RS)-9- or 7-(2,3-dihydro-5H-1,4-benzodioxepin-3-yl)-9H- or 7H-purines shows an interesting reactivity, which is presented and discussed. The anticarcinogenic potential of the target molecules is reported against the MCF-7 cancer cell line.     

Synthesis of substituted salicylamines and dihydro-2H-1,3-benzoxazines

Phenols were converted to their magnesium salts with the MgCl₂-Et₃N base system and subsequently reacted with Eschenmoser's salt, affording N,N-dimethyl substituted benzylamines in high to excellent yields. A series of mono N-substituted benzylamines were prepared in one-pot syntheses by ortho-formylation of phenols to corresponding salicylaldehydes, which in turn reacted with amines to imines. The imines were subsequently reduced to mono N-substituted benzylamines. Some of these benzylamines were further converted, without work-up, to mono N-substituted dihydro-2H-1,3-benzoxazines.

A palladium-catalyzed facile and general method for the stereoselective synthesis of (E)-3-arylidene-3,4-dihydro-2H-1,4-benzoxazines and their naphthoxazine analogues

Palladium-catalyzed cyclocondensation of an aryl iodide with N-tosyl-2-(prop-2′-ynyloxy)aniline at room temperature is shown to constitute a convenient general method for the synthesis of (E)-3-arylidene-3,4-dihydro-2H-1,4-benzoxazines in moderate to very good yields. The method could also be extended to the synthesis of (E)-3-arylidene-2H-naphth[1,2-b][1,4]oxazines. The regio- and stereo-selectivity of the process, short reaction time, operational simplicity, and use of inexpensive starting materials represent its attractive features.

Palladium-catalyzed heteroannulation leading to heterocyclic structures with two heteroatoms: a highly regio- and stereoselective synthesis of (Z)-4-alkyl-2-alkyl(aryl)idene-3,4-dihydro-2H-1,4-benzoxazines and (Z)-3-alkyl(aryl)idene-4-tosyl-3,4-dihydro-2H-1,4-benzoxazines.

A highly convenient method has been developed for the synthesis of (Z)-4-alkyl-2-alkyl(aryl)idene-3,4-dihydro-2H-1,4-benzoxazines 9 and (Z)-3-alkyl(aryl)idene-4-tosyl-3,4-dihydro-2H-1,4-benzoxazines 34-38 through palladium-copper-catalyzed reactions. Aryl halides 7 reacted with 2-[N-alkyl(benzyl)-N-prop-2'-ynyl]aminophenyl tosylate 6 in the presence of (PPh3)2PdCl2 (3 mol %), CuI(5 mol %) in triethylamine at room temperature to yield 2-[N-alkyl(benzyl)-N-(3-aryl-prop-2'-ynyl)]-aminophenyl tosylates 8 in extremely good yields (72-96%). The latter could then be cyclized with KOH in ethanol-water to Z-9 in a highly regio- and stereoselective manner. Similarly, palladium-copper-catalyzed reaction of 2-(prop-2'-ynyloxy)aniline (21) with aryl iodides 7 led to 22-26 which after tosylation and cyclization with cuprous iodide in CH3CN in the presence of K2CO3 and Bu4-NBr led to the (Z)-3-alkyl(aryl)idene-4-tosyl 3,4-dihydro-2H-1,4-benzoxazines 34-38 in good overall yields. The Z-stereochemistry of the products was established from 1H NMR spectra, 3JCH values (between vinylic proton and methylenic carbon of the heterocyclic ring), NOE experiments, and X-ray analysis. The method was also found to be suitable for the synthesis of bis(benzoxazinylated) derivatives 17, 39, and 2-alkyl-3,4-dihydro-2H-1,4-benzoxazines 18. Our method for the synthesis of 3,4-dihydro-2H-1,4-benzoxazines is highly efficacious, using easily available starting materials under very mild conditions. Also the synthesis of some novel 5-substituted uracil derivatives 40 and 41 containing the benzoxazinyl moiety and of potential biological interest is being reported.

Regioselective alkylation reactions of 2,4-diphenyl-3H-1-benzazepine give either 3-alkyl-3H-1-benzazepines or 1-alkyl-1H-1-benzazepines

2,4-Diphenyl-3H-1-benzazepine is deprotonated with either LDA or KHMDS. The resulting anion is alkylated with alkyl halides or MeOTs, giving either products of alkylation at C3, or at N, or a mixture of both. The regioselectivity depends on the base, presence of the complexing agent HMPA, and the leaving group of the alkylating agent. Using MeI as alkylating agent gives exclusively the C3-methylated product, while using MeOTs gives exclusively the N-methylated product. The N-alkylated products show evidence of stereodynamic behavior in their NMR spectra.

A convenient synthesis of 5-(1,2,4-oxadiazol-5-yl)pyrimidine-2,4(1H,3H)-diones

The synthesis of 5-heteroaryl-substituted uracil derivatives is presented. The 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction was applied for the construction of a heterocyclic ring. The nitrile oxides were obtained from the appropriate 4-substituted benzaldoximes using N-chlorosuccinimide (NCS) under basic conditions. [2+3] Cycloaddition of nitrile oxides with 5-cyanouracil as a dipolarophile gave the corresponding 5-(3-substituited-1,2,4-oxadiazol-5-yl)uracils in satisfactory yields under mild conditions. 5-Substituted uracils having an additional heterocyclic ring were obtained as a result of the [2+3] cycloaddition of 5-cyanouracil to nitrile oxides generated from thiophene-2-carbaldehyde and 5-formyluracil derivatives.
