Chlorimine formation and deamination of the model nucleobase 1-methylcytosine

Treatment of the model nucleobase 1-methylcytosine with chlorine in aqueous solution gives, depending on the reaction conditions, 5-chloro-1-methylcytosine ( 3 ) or its hemiprotonated form 2 , 5,5-dichloro-6-hyd-roxy-5,6-dihydro-4-chlorimino-1-methylpyrimidin-2-one ( 5 ), and 5,5-dichloro-6-hydroxy-5,6-dihydro-1-methyl-uracil ( 4 ). While substitution of H5 of 1-methylcytosine by chlorine giving 2 and 3 , and subsequent addition of hypochlorous acid to the 5,6-double bond is not unexpected, chlorination of the exocyclic amino group 5 and deamination to give 4 is novel. The X-ray structures of 4 and 5 are reported.     

On the Mechanism of Condensation between 5—Amino—4,6—dichloro—2—methylpyrimidine and 1—Acetyl—2—imidazolin—2—one

The condensation reaction between 5-amino-4,6-dichloro-2-methylprimidine and 1-acetyl-2-imidazolin-2-one using POCl3 as solvent gave 4,6-dichloro-2-methyl-5-(1-acetyl-tetra-hydro-imidazo-2-ylidene)-aminopyrimidine predominantly and 4,6-dichloro-2-methyl-5-{1-1-(2-oxo-tetrahydro-imidazolyl)]-acetene}-aminopyrimidine as by-product. No 4,6-dichloro-2-methyl-5-(1-acetyl-2-imidazolin-2-yl)-aminopyrimidine was found. The result indicated an esterifi-cation-addition-elimination mechanism.     

Syntheses of 2-amino-4,6-dichloro-5-nitropyrimidine and 2-amino-4,5,6-trichloropyrimidine: an unusual aromatic substitution

2-Amino-4,6-dichloro-5-nitropyrimidine is an intermediate required for the preparation of nitropyrimidines as inactivators of the DNA repairing protein MGMT. When attempting its synthesis, 2-amino-4,5,6-trichloropyrimidine is obtained instead, via unusual aromatic substitution of the nitro group in 2-amino-4-hydroxy-5-nitropyrimidin-6-one by chloride. The synthesis, the reactivity of 4,5,6-trichloropyrimidine and the efficient preparation of 2-amino-4,6-dichloro-5-nitropyrimidine are presented.     

Convergent synthesis of polyhalogenated quinoline C-nucleosides as potential antiviral agents

2,5,6-Trichloro-1-(beta-d-ribofuranosyl)benzimidazole (TCRB) and 2-bromo-5,6-dichloro-1-(beta-d-ribofuranosyl)benzimidazole (BDCRB) are benzimidazole nucleosides that exhibit strong and selective anti-HCMV activity. We proposed to synthesize 2-halo-6,7-dichloro-4-(beta-d-ribofuranosyl)quinolines as 6 + 6 bicyclic analogues of TCRB. The synthesis used Wittig reactions in two key steps. The first Wittig reaction coupled a fully functionalized benzene with a ribofuranose derivative to provide (Z)-6-O-(tert-butyldimethylsilyl)-1-(4,5-dichloro-2-nitrophenyl)-1,2-dideoxy-3,4-O-isopropylidene-d-allo-1-enitol (5) as the basic skeleton for the target compounds. The following electrophile-mediated intramolecular cyclization of the cis-alkene (5) was found to afford (1S,2S)-2,5-anhydro-1-bromo-6-O-(tert-butyldimethylsilyl)-1-deoxy-1-(4,5-dichloro-2-nitrophenyl)-3,4-O-isopropylidene-d-allitol (8) as the major product. This alpha-stereoselectivity was contrary to the literature precedence. A double-bond isomerization was established to be the cause of the unexpected stereochemistry. The bromo group of 8 was displaced by a hydroxyl group. Oxidation of the hydroxy group and the reduction of a phenylnitro group provided (2S)-1-(2-amino-4,5-dichlorophenyl)-2,5-anhydro-6-O-(tert-butyldimethylsilyl)-3,4-O-isopropylidene-d-allose (11), which was subjected to the second Wittig reaction with a phosphacumulene to construct 4-[5-O-(tert-butyldimethylsilyl)-2,3-O-isopropylidene-alpha-d-ribofuranosyl]-6,7-dichloroquinolin-2-one (13). Halogenation followed by deprotection of 13 and led to the synthesis of 4-(alpha-d-ribofuranosyl)-2,6,7-trichloroquinoline (17) as the major product. The 2-aminophenone alpha-nucleoside (11) was successfully anomerized to the beta-anomer (19), which led to the synthesis of the targeted 2-chloro- and 2-bromo-6,7-dichloro-4-(beta-d-ribofuranosyl)quinolines (18and 21, respectively).     

Sur le comportement photochimique des 19-nor Δ-steroides

The condensation of 3:5-dichloro-2hydroxy acetophenone with various aldehydes afforded chalcones, which were converted into the corresponding 6:8-dichloroflavanones by the action of dilute ethanolic hydrochloric acid. The oxidation of chalcones by means of selenium dioxide and by alkaline hydrogen peroxides gave 6:8-dichloro-flavones and -flavonols respectively. Incidentally, some chalcones from 3:5-dichloro-2-methoxyacetophenone were also prepared.     

A large scale synthesis of 3-chloro-5-methoxypyridazine

A large scale synthesis of 3-chloro-5-methoxypyridazine was developed (18 moles) that relies on the protection of the pyridazinone nitrogen of 4,5-dichloro-3(2H)-pyridazinone as the tetrahydropyranyl derivative 2 . The 5-chloro position of the protected pyridazinone was selectively displaced with methoxide to give 3 followed by catalytic hydrogenation of the 4-chloro group to give 4. Removal of the protecting group with acid followed by phosphorous oxychloride treatment gave the target compound 6 in good yield. This route is superior to the previously described synthesis of this compound.     

An approach to acyclo-1-deazathymidine c-nucleosides via 3,5-dichloro-6-methyl-2H-1,4-oxazin-2-one.

An approach to the synthesis of acyclo-1-deazathymidine nucleosides is described. Diels-Alder reaction of 3,5-dichloro-6-methyl-2H-1,4-oxazin-2-one with acetylenic compounds 4 and 5 yielded the 3-[(tetrahydropyran-2-yl)oxy]-methyl- and 3-bromomethyl-5-methyl-2,6-dichloropyridine intermediates 7 and 8. The bromomethyl group of compound 8 underwent easy substitution with the appropriate nucleophiles, permitting the introduction of acycLo sugar moieties. The resulting 3-substituted 2,6-dichloro-5-methyl pyridines 9a,b - precursors for some acyclo pyridine-C-nucleosides - were treated with sodium phenylmethoride to afford 2,6-dibenzyloxypyridines 10a,b. Debenzylation using a palladium-strontium carbonate catalyst gave the unstable C-nucleosides 2a,b of the 6-hydroxy-1H-pyridin-2-one type. A stable 6-hydroxy-1H-pyridin-2-one 2c, exempt from benzylic oxygen, was obtained via cycloaddition of THP-protected 6-hydroxy-1-hexyne.     

Synthesis and chemistry of some pyridazine nucleosides related to certain 5-substituted pyrimidine nucleosides

Condensation of 3,4-dichloro-6-[(trimethylsilyl)oxy] pyridazine ( 3 ) with 1-O-acetyl-2,3,5-tri-O-benzoyl-β- D -ribofuranose ( 4 ), by the stannic chloride catalyzed procedure, has furnished 3,4-dichloro-1-(2,3,5-tri-O-benzoyl-β- D -ribofuranosyl) pyridazin-6-one ( 5 ). Nucleophilic displacement of the chloro groups and removal of the benzoyl blocking groups from 5 has furnished 3-chloro-4-methoxy-, 3,4-dimethoxy-, 4-amino-3-chloro-, 3-chloro-4-methylamino-, 3-chloro-4-hydroxy-, and 4-hydroxy-3-methoxy-1-β- D -ribofuranosylpyridazin-6-one. An unusual reaction of 5 with dimethylamine is reported. Condensation of 4,5-dichloro-3-nitro-6-[(trimethylsilyl)oxy]pyridazine with 4 yielded 4,5-dichloro-3-nitro-1-(2,3,5-tri-O-benzoyl-β- D -ribofuranosyl)pyridazin-6-one ( 24 ). Nucleophilic displacement of the aromatic nitro groups from 24 is discussed. Condensation of 3 with 3,5-di-O-p-toluoyl 2-deoxy- D -erythro-pentofuranosyl chloride ( 28 ) afforded an α, β mixture of 2-deoxy nucleosides. The synthesis of certain 3-substituted pyridazine 2′-deoxy necleosides are reported.

7-azaindole derivatives

A new method for synthesizing 5- and 7-azaindoles is given, -Chlorobutyronitrile and malonyl chloride give 2, 4, 6-trichloro-3-(ß-chloroethyl) pyridine, which is cyclized with ammonia to 4, 6-dichloro-7-azaindoline and 4, 6-dichloro-5-azaindoline. 6-Chloro derivatives of 7-azaindolines are not dehydrogenated by chlorainil, but 2, 3-dichloro-S, 6-dicyanobenzoquinone converts them to 6-chloro-7-azaindoles. It is shown that sodium in liquid ammonia is an effective means of dehydrogenating the 5-azaindoline to 5-azaindole. In this case, dehydrogenation of 4, 6-dichloro-7-azaindoline is followed by dehalogenation.For Part IX see [1].     

A novel thermal rearrangement of the 2-thiabicyclo[3,1,0]hex-3-ene system. The crystal and molecular structure of ethyl-2,4-dichloro-5-hydroxy-6-methylbenzoate

Thermal rearrangement of 1,3-dichloro-6-ethoxycarbonyl-2-thiabicyclo[3, 1, 0]hex-3-ene does not follow the anticipated course, but leads instead to ethyl-2,4-dichloro-5-hydroxy-6-methylbenzoate, whose structure has been confirmed by an X-ray crystal structure determination.     

Intramolecular substitution of unactivated aryl groups by thioamide anion

The general reaction of intramolecular nucleophilic substitution of unactivated aryl groups by thioamide anion in dipolar aprotic amide solvent is extended by the syntheses of 6-chloro-5-methoxy-2-methylbenzothiazole from 2′,4′-dichloro-5′-methoxythioacetanilide and 6-methoxy-2-methylbenzothiazole from 4′-methoxy-2′-nitrothioacetanilide. The six-membered fused ring heterocycles, 2-methyl-4H,3-benzothiazine and 6,8-dichloro-3-rnethyl-1H-4,1,2-benzothiadi-azine are also prepared.     

Rerouting nucleophilic substitution from the 4-position to the 2- or 6-position of 2,4-dihalopyridines and 2,4,6-trihalopyridines: the solution to a long-standing problem

2,4-Difluoro-, 2,4,6-trifluoro-, and 2,3,4,6-tetrafluoropyridine undergo nucleophilic substitution preferentially if not exclusively at the 4-position. However, after the introduction of a trialkylsilyl group at C-3 or C-5, the halogen at the 6-(2-)position is displaced selectively. This synthetically valuable regiocontrol can also be realized with other halopyridines such as 2,4-dichloro- and 2,4,6-trichloropyridine.     

A practical preparation of methyl 2-methoxy-6-methylaminopyridine-3-carboxylate from 2,6-dichloro-3-trifluoromethylpyridine.

An effective and practical synthetic route to methyl 2-methoxy-6-methylaminopyridine-3-carboxylate (7), the key intermediate of 5-bromo-2-methoxy-6-methylaminopyridine-3-carboxylic acid (1), from 2,6-dichloro-3-trifluoromethylpyridine (12) was undertaken. Process improvements were highlighted by regioselectivity of 12 with a nitrogen nucleophile and conversion of the 3-trifluoromethyl group into the methoxycarbonyl group. The reaction of 12 with N-benzylmethylamine provided the 6-(N-benzyl-N-methyl)aminopyridine 26a and the regioisomer 26b in >98:<2 ratio in a quantitative yield. Treatment of 2-methoxy-6-methylamino-3-trifluoropyridine (14a) with a large excess of sodium methoxide followed by acid hydrolysis gave the pyridine-3-carboxylic ester 7 in an excellent yield. The potential application of this reaction is also described.

Vibrational analysis of substituted phenols: part II. Transferability of valence force constants

A zero-order normal coordinate analysis was made for the in-plane and out-of-plane vibrations of 2,6-dimethylphenol, 2,3-dimethylphenol, 3,5-dimethylphenol, 2,6-dichloro-4-nitrophenol, 2,4-dichloro-6-nitrophenol, 3-chloro-4-hydroxy-5-methoxybenzaldehyde, 3-bromo-4-hydroxy-5-methoxybenzaldehyde and 3-iodo-4-hydroxy-5-methoxybenzaldehyde and for the in-plane vibrations of 2-amino-4-nitrophenol by transferring the force constants obtained beforehand. The transferability of the force constants was demonstrated by the good agreement between the observed and calculated frequencies. On the basis of calculated potential energy distributions and eigenvectors, several assignments suggested by earlier workers have been revised.
