Quinazolines and 1,4-benzodiazepines LVII. 1H-1,4-benzodiazepines

The preparation of the title compounds 3 and 4 using two different methods of synthesis is described. These compounds are readily reduced to 2,3-dihydro-1H-derivatives 5 . Oxidation of 2-alkylthio-1H-1,4-benzodiazepines leads to the corresponding sulfoxides and sulfones. The oxidative rearrangement of sulfones 9 to a 2H-1,4-benzodiazepin-2-one derivative 10 is also given. The “normal” addition of azodicarboxylate together with an unusual addition of two moles of acetylenedicarboxylate to the enamine double bond of 1H compounds is discussed.     

Polycondensed heterocycles. IV. synthesis of 1,4-dioxo-2,3,3a,4-tetrahydro-1H-pyrrolo[2,1-c][1,4]benzothiazine

A method for the synthesis of the title compound 3 consisted of an intramolecular cyclization in a stannic chloride catalyzed Friedel-Crafts reaction of N-(2-methylthiophenyl)-5-oxoproline chloride 10 , prepared by chlorination of the corresponding acid 9 obtained by hydrolysis of its ethyl ester 8 . Condensation of 2-methylthioaniline 4 with diethyl bromomalonate 5 afforded diethyl 2-methylthioanilinomalonate 6 which gave 8 either directly by reaction with ethyl acrylate or by alkylation with ethyl β-bromopropionate or ethyl acrylate and cyclization of resulting triethyl 2-(2-methylthio)anilino-2-carboxyglutarate 7 . This method was not convenient because of the poor yield of 3 (14%). On the other hand, cyclization of N-(2-mercaptophenyl)-5-oxoproline 14 with DCC and DMAP provided 3 in 45% yield. Oxidation with m-CPBA of the esters 11 and 8 , demethylation via the Pummerer rearrangement of the respective sulphoxides 12 and 17 with TFAA and oxidation with iodine of resulting N-(2-mercap-tophenyl)-5-oxoproline esters 13 and 18 gave the corresponding disulphides 16 and 19 . Hydrolysis of these latter compounds and reduction of the resulting bis[2-[2-(hydroxycarbonyl)-5-oxo-1-pyrrolidinyl]phenyl] disulphide 15 with sodium dithionite afforded the required 14 . Deprotection of t-butyl ester 13 with TFA at 55° to obtain 14 led to 3 in 42% yield. Finally the Pummerer rearrangement of N-(2-methylsulphinylphenyl)-5-oxo-proline 20 yielded the mixture of 14 and 15 .     

Synthesis of tricyclic and tetracyclic thieno[3,2-f]-1,4-thiazepines

Treatment of 5-methylthio-2,3-dihydrothieno[3,2-f]-1,4-thiazepine ( 9 ) with acylhydrazines gave 5,6-dihydrothieno[3,2-f]-1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-d][1,4]thiazepines 10, 11 , and that of 9 with ethyl anthranilate gave 5,6-dihydrothieno[3′,2′:6,7][1,4]thiazepino[5,4-b]quinazolin-8-one ( 14 ). Reaction of 9 with hydrazine hydrate or 4-chlorophenylhydrazine afforded 5-hydrazino compounds 12, 15 , which were subsequently cyclized to ethyl 5,6-dihydrothieno[3,2-f]-1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-d][1,4]thiazepine-3-carboxylate ( 13 ), 2-(4-chlorophenyl)-5,6-dihydrothieno[3,2-f]-1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-d][1,4]thiazepin-3(2H)-one ( 16 ) and 2-(4-chlorophenyl)-6,7-dihydro-2H-thieno[3,2-f][1,2,4]triazino[4,3-d][1,4]thiazepine-3,4-dione ( 17 ). New thieno-anellated heterocycles were prepared with the aim of studying their affinity for the benzodiazepine receptors.     

Synthesis of nucleoside analogs of 1,4-oxathiane, 1,4-dithiane,and 1,4-dioxane

The two regioisomers 6-chloro-9-(1, 4-oxathian-3-yl)-9H-purine ( 5 ) and 6-chloro-9-(1,4-oxathian-2-yl)-9H-purine ( 6 ) were obtained when 3-acetoxy-1,4-oxathiane ( 3 ) was subjected to the acid-catalyzed fusion procedure; compound 3 was prepared by a Pummerer reaction with 1,4-oxathiane 4-oxide ( 2 ). The nucleoside analog 6 could he converted into the adenine derivative 7 and 9-(1,4-oxathian-2-yl)-9H-purine-6(1H)thione ( 8 ). The following nucleoside analogs have also been synthesized: 6-chloro-9-(1,4-dithian-2-yl)-9H-purine ( 13 ), 9-(1,4-dithian-2-yl)adenine ( 14 ), 9-(1,4-dithian-2-yl)-9H-purine-6(1H)thione ( 15 ), and 6-chloro-9-(1,4-dioxan-2-yl)-9H-purine ( 18 ).     

Quinazolines et benzodiazépines-1,4. LX Imidazo[5,1-c]benzodiazépines-1,4

Upon treatment with oxalyl chloride followed by reaction with the appropriate nucleophile, the 3-carbamoyl-benzodiazepines 6 , 7 and 8 were converted stereospecifically to the tricyclic compounds 12, 13, 14, 16 and 19 . Epimerization of 19 in presence of p-toluenesulfonic acid led to 21 . The stereochemistry of these tricyclic compounds and of some of their N(2)-alkyl derivatives ( 22-31 ) has been established by NMR. spectroscopy. Under proper reaction conditions, attack by bases on the tricyclic esters 13 and 26 was shown to cause an inversion of the chiral center C(11a) and to yield stereospecifically rearranged products, e.g. 23 from 26 and 33 from 13 .     

Quinazolines and 1,4-benzodiazepines. LXXI. Reactions of 2-(triazol-4-yl)benzophenones

Some new triazolylbenzophenones 3 were prepared by reaction of the corresponding quinazolines 2 with formic acid. Conversions of compounds 3 to known triazolobenzodiazepines are described. One of the processes proceeds via the double bond isomer 13 . The reaction of the aldehyde 9 with hydrazine interestingly yielded the triazoloquinolines 11 and 12 . The cyclization of the benzophenones 3 to the triazoloindoles 15 and the alkylation of the latter to derivatives with basic and acidic side chains are also reported. Quaternization of compound 16 with ethyl bromoacetate followed by treatment with hydroxide resulted in the formation of the triazinoindole 12 .     

Synthesis of 6-amino-1-benzyl-4-methylhexahydro-1H-1,4-diazepine

Five variants (methods A—E) of a synthetic route to 6-amino-1-benzyl-4-methylhexahydro-1H-1,4-diazepine (3b) using N-benzyl-N'-methylethylenediamine (8a) are described. The reaction of 8a with 1-benzenesulfonyl-2-bromomethylaziridine (7) , 2-phenyl-4-(p-toluenesulfonyloxymethyl)oxazoline (13) , and β, β-dibromoisobutyric acid (15) resulted in the direct cyclization to give the precursor of 3b , 6-substituted 1,4-diazepine derivatives 9, 14 , and 16 , respectively (methods A—C). These compounds were transformed into the desired 3b , The preparation of 1,4-diazepine ring from methyl 2-tert-butoxycarbonyl-aminopropenate (18) was alternatively achieved by the intramolecular amidation of the intermediate 19a (method D) or reductive cyclization of the aminoaldehyde 23a (method E). Method E was found to efficiently produce the 6-amino-1,4-diazepine 3b.     

The Synthesis of pyrimido[4,5-b][1,4]diazocines and pyrido[2,3-b][1,4]diazoeines

The reaction conditions for the preparation of 7H,8H-1,3-dimethyl-2,4,6,9-tetraoxopyrimidino[4,5-b][1,4]-diazocine ( 9 ), 1,3-dimethy 1–2,4,6,11-tetraoxobenzo[f]pyrimidino[4,5-b][1,4]diazocine ( 10 ), 7H,8H-1,3-dimethyl-2,4,6,10-tetraoxopyrimidino[4,5-b][1,4]diazonine ( 16 ), and 7H,8H-6,9-dioxopyridino[2,3-b][1,4]diazocine ( 19 ) were determined. The mechanism of the formation of these compounds was established. The scope of these reactions was found to be general for eight and nine ring formation from 2,3-diamino-N-heterocycles.     

Polycondensed nitrogen heterocycles. XXII. A new synthesis of 5,6-dihydro-7H-pyrazolo[1,5-d][1,4]benzodiazepin-6-ones

A new synthesis of 2-methyl-9-R'-10-R-5,6-dihydro-7H-pyrazolo[1,5-d][1,4]benzodiazepin-6-ones ( 4a-c ) is deserved. Reaction of ethyl hydrazinoacetate hydrochloride with 1,3-diketones 1a-c gave both 3-methyl-5-(4R'-5-R-2-nitrophenyl)pyrazol-1-yl-acetate acids ( 2a-c ) and the corresponding ethyl esters 3a-c . Reduction with the appropiate reducing agent of compounds 2a-c and 3a-c directly gave the title compounds. Compound 4a showed insecticidal properties against the house fly.     

Quinazolines and 1,4-benzodiazepines. XCIII. Synthesis of imidazo[1,5-a][1,4]benzodiazepines from nitrooximes

The displacement of the nitro group in nitrooximes by other nucleophiles was used to prepare various 2-(hydroxyimino)methyl- and 2-(methoxyimino)methyl-1,4-benzodiazepines. These compounds were converted to imidazo[1,5-a][1,4]benzodiazepines bearing a tertiary amine, methoxy or thiomethyl group in the 3-position.     

Synthesis of 2,3,8,9-Dibenzo-5,6-(substituted)benzo-1,4-dithio-7-oxacyclonona-2,5,8-trienes and some electrophilic substitution reactions

Treatment of 5-(2-hydroxyaryl)thianthreniumyl perchlorates 1 with sodium hydride in tetrahydrofuran at reflux gave the title compounds 5 in excellent yields. For the reactivities of the compounds 5 , the selected compounds 5 were subjected under the conditions of electrophilic substitution reactions. Bromination of 5,6-{3-(2-butyl)benzo}-2,3,8,9-dibenzo-1,4-dithio-7-oxacyclonona-2,5,8-triene ( 5f ) in acetic acid at 60° afforded two bromo compounds 9 (22%) and 10 (69%), which were oxidized by m-chloroperbenzoic acid to give tetraoxides 11 (95%) and 12 (97%), respectively. Treatment of 5f with acetyl chloride in the presence of aluminum chloride in carbon disulfide at 0° gave an acetylated compound 13 (58%). Nitration of 5f with nitric acid in acetic acid at 50° gave a nitro compound 17 (15%) together with 1,4-dioxide 7e (22%) and a 5-oxide 18 (3%) whose regiochemistry has not been established. On the other hand, 5,6-(3-methylbenzo)-2,3,8,9-dibenzo-1,4-dithio-7-oxacyclonona-2,5,8-triene ( 5a ) reacted with acetyl chloride under the same conditions to give two acetylated compounds 15 (33%) and 16 (18%). The mechanism for the formation of 5 and the structural elucidation of these compounds are discussed.     

Pyrimidine derivatives. VII. Nucleophilic reactions of 5-bromo-1-(bromoalkyl)-6-bromomethyl-2,4(1H,3H)-pyrimidinediones

The reactions of 1-(bromoalkyl)-5-bromo-6-bromomethyl-3-methyl-2,4(1H,3H)-pyrimidinedione (1) with several nucleophiles were examined as follows: by reaction with sodium methoxide, 6-(bismethoxy)methyl-5-debrominated derivatives 2, 3 , and 4 were prepared; the corresponding di-substituted compounds (side chains in 1-and 6-positions) 5, 6, 7 , and 9 were obtained by treatment with silver nitrate, silver acetate, potassium thiocyanate, and potassium thioacetate; the reaction with thioacetamide and iso-butylamine gave bicyclic compounds [1,4]thiazino[4,3-c]- 11 , pyrazino[1,2-c]- 12 , and [1,4]diazepino[1,2-c]pyrimidinedione 13 , respectively; pyrrolidine, morpholine, and sodium azide afforded the corresponding 6-substituted compounds 14, 15 , and 16 .     

Synthesis of new thiazolium betaines and the ring expansion reaction via 1,4-dipolar cycloaddition

The 1,4-dipolar cycloaddition of 3-phenyl-7-[N-pheny(carbamoyl)]-5,6-dihydroimidazo[2,1-b]thia-zolium betaine (7d) with a series of aliphatic alkylating agents such as ethyl bromoacetate, α-chloroacetone, and ethyl 4-chloroacetoacetate gave a variety of new ring-expanded cycloadducts 10a-c instead of ring transformation compounds 9 . This result was derived from the difference of reactivity between N- and S-alkylations of thiazolium betaines 7a,d. The advantage of our method is to prepare the triheterocyclic compounds 10a-c of complicated structure using reactive thiazolium betaine 7d in a one-pot without isolation of intermediates. Treatment of N-bridged thiazolo compounds 1a-c with benzoyl isothiocyanate led to new thiazolium betaines 2a-c , which were reacted with methyl iodide to afford the S-alkylated quarternary ammonium salts 3a-c. Synthesis of new 2-iminothiazolinium betaines 5a,b also was carried out.     

1,4-Dihydro-1λ5,4λ5-[1,4]diphosphinine und ein 1,4-Dihydro-1λ3,4λ3-[1,4]diphosphinin

1,4-Dihydro-1λ⁵,4λ⁵-[1,4]diphosphinines and a 1,4-Dihydro-1λ³,4λ³-[1,4]diphosphinine Reaction of thio- or dithiocarbonic acids with ethinyl amino phosphanes leads to 1,4-dihydro-1λ⁵,4λ⁵-[1,4]diphosphinine-1,4-disulfides. By this route compounds 4, 7 , and 8 have been prepared. Desulfurization of 4 with tri-n-butylphosphane results in 1,2,4,5-tetraphenyl-1,4-dihydro-1λ³,4λ³-[1,4]-diphosphinine 5 , which can be oxidized with tert-butyl-peroxide to the corresponding dioxide, 6 . From the reaction mixture of phenyl-phenylethinyl diethylamino phosphane and thioacetamide compound 4 and the unsymmetrical 1,4-dihydro-1λ⁵,4λ⁵-[1,4]diphosphinine 9 were isolated. Properties, nmr, ir and mass spectra of all new products are reported. A mechanism for the formation of 9 is suggested. The results of the X-ray structure determination of 8 and 9 are described.     

Glycosylidene Carbenes. Part 21. Synthesis of N-tosylglycono-1,4-lactone hydrazones as precursors of glycofuranosylidene carbenes

The N′-(glycofuranosylidene)toluene-4-sulfonohydrazides 5 and 10 (Scheme 1) were prepared in good yields by oxidation (1,3-dibromo-5,5-dimethylhydantoin/Et₃N) of the N′-glycosyltoluene-4-sulfonohydrazides 4 and 9 , which were obtained from 2,3,5-tri-O-benzyl-D -ribose ( 3 ) and 2,3,5-tri-O-benzyl-D -arabinose ( 8 ), respectively, and toluene-4-sulfonohydrazide. The analogous naphthalene-2-sulfonohydrazides 7 and 12 were similarly prepared from 3 and 8 via 6 and 11 . Photolysis in the presence of phenol of the sodium salt 15 (Scheme 2), best generated in situ, yielded the anomeric glycosides 16 , some 5 , and traces of the glycosides (1R)/(1S)- 17 . Photolysis of 15 in THF gave the sulfones α-D /β-D - 18 . Photolysis of 15 (quartz filter) and dimethyl fumarate led to a single cyclopropane 19 , the sulfones α-D /β-D - 18 , and the N-(ribofuranosyl)-N′-(ribofuranosylidene)toluene-4-sulfonohydrazide 20 . Similarly, N-phenylmaleimide afforded the cyclopropanes 21 and 22 . Photolysis of the sodium salt of 10 and phenol afforded the anomeric glycosides α-D /β-D - 23 , the C-glycoside 24 , and the sulfone 25 . Photolytic glycosidation of 15 with N⁶-benzyladenine gave the two nucleosides 26 and 27 (Scheme 3).     

Synthese von Plectranthonen,diterpenoiden Phenanthren-1,4-chinonen

Synthesis of Plectranthons, Diterpenoid Phenanthrene-1,4-diones The following phenanthrene-1,4-diones have been synthesized by using the photocyclization of the corresponding highly substituted stilbenes as the key step: 3-hydroxy-5,7,8-trimethyl-2-(prop-2-enyl)phenanthrene-1,4-dione ( 1 ), (RS)-, (R)-, and (S)-2-[3-hydroxy-5,7,8-trimethyl-1,4-dioxophenanthren-2-yl]-1-methylethyl acetate ( 2 , 31 , and 32 , resp.), 3-hydroxy-7,8-dimethyl-2-(prop-2-enyl)phenanthrene-1,4-dione ( 3 ), 3-hydroxy-7,8,10-tri-methyl-2-(prop-2-enyl)phenanthrene-1,4-dione ( 4 ), 5,7,8-trimethyl-2-(prop-2-enyl)phenanthrene-1,4-dione ( 17 ), and 3-hydroxy-2-methylphenanthrene-1,4-dione ( 42 ). The quinones 1 and 3 proved to be identical with the recently isolated plectranthons A and C. Compounds 2 , 31 , and 32 exhibited the same UV/VIS, IR, ¹H-NMR and mass spectra as natural plectranthon B , but had different melting points. This might be due either to crystal modifications or to diastereoisomerism caused by the helical structure of the phenanthrene-1,4-dione skeleton. The spectral data of synthetic 4 were not compatible with those of natural plectranthon D for which structure 4 had been proposed based mainly on ¹H-NMR arguments concerning the chemical shifts of H? C(9) and H? C(10) in 1–3. Extensive ¹H-NMR investigations have now revealed that the currently stated assignments of the H? C(9)/ H? C(10) AB system have to be reversed for highly substituted phenanthrene-1,4-diones: in the model compounds 2-methylphenanthrene-1,4-dione (41) and 2, H? C(10) resonates al lower field as expected (peri-position), whereas in the highly substituted congeners 1 , 2 , 3 , 31 , and 32 , H? C(9) is shifted paramagnetically, a fact which had lead to the erroneous assignment of structure 4 for natural plectranthon D .     

Saturated heterocycles. Part 216 . Synthesis,structure and ring opening of trans-perhydro-1,4-benzoxazepin-3-one derivatives

trans-Perhydro-1,4-benzoxazepin-3-ones 2a-c were synthesized and transformed to condensed-skeleton perhydro-trans-1,4-benzoxazepines 3a,b , the thiones 4a,b , the urea derivatives 5a,b , and N-acylated compounds 6a-e . Compounds 6b,d were ring-opened by hydrochloric acid in ethanol to yield trans-2-(1-carbethoxyethoxy)-1-acylaminomethylcyclohexane derivatives 7b,d . The ¹H- and ¹³C-nmr investigation and X-ray analysis of 5b and 6c,d proved that the expected N-acylated derivatives were formed and that both rings of the trans anellated compounds have a chair conformation.     

Novel polycyclic heterocycles. IX. Dibenz[b,f] [1,4]oxazocin-11 (12H)one, 6,11-dihydro-12H-dibenz[b,f] [1,4]oxazocine,and their derivatives

Dibenz[b,f][1,4]oxazocin-11 (12H)one, 14 , was synthesized by the dicyclohexylcarbodiimide induced cyclization of α-(o-aminophenoxy)-o-toluic acid ( 13 ). Reduction of 14 by lithium aluminum hydride gave 6,11-dihydro-12H-dibenz[b,f][1,4]oxazocine ( 16 ). Both 14 and 16 were converted to a series of 12-alkylated and -acylated derivatives. The pmr spectra of some of these compounds are discussed.     

Application of photoelectron spectroscopy to biologically active molecules and their constituent parts. II. 1,4-Benzodiazepines

The Hel photoelectron (PE) spectra of 5-phenyl-7-chloro-2H-1,4-benzodiazepin-2-one ( 1 ), its 1-methyl derivative ( 2 ), 3-hydroxy derivative ( 3 ), 1-methyl-3-hydroxy derivative ( 4 ), 3-(S)-methyl derivative ( 5 ), and 1-methyl-3-(S)-methyl derivative ( 6 ) have been recorded. The electronic structure of these compounds is discussed on the basis of the observed ionization energies, and of the semiempirical CNDO/2 calculations on model compounds 1a-6a , which have a hydrogen instead of the phenyl group in the 5-position. As a result the character of the seven highest occupied orbitals in 1–6 have been assigned.     

Substitution des 1,2-diazinsystems mit symm. trioxanylradikalen; ein zugang zu pyridazincarbaldehyden. 13. Mitteilung über pyridazine

Pyridazine ( 1 ) and 3-methylpyridazine ( 5 ) selectively are attacked by symm. trioxanyl radicals in positions 4 and/or 5 yielding 2, 3, 6, 7, 8 , while 4-methylpyridazine ( 10 ) under similar conditions reacts to give not only C-5 substitution product 11 , but also 3- and/or 6-trioxanylsubstituted methylpyridazines 12–15 . The structures of the isomeric compounds were confirmed on basis of pmr-data. By hydrolysis of 6, 11 and 12 the unknown formylmethylpyridazines 9, 16 and 17 were prepared. Compound 16 was found to undergo intermolecular aldol-type addition easily yielding lactol. 18 . Synthesis of pyridazinecarboxaldehyde ( 4 ) starting from 1 is presented.
