A convenient synthesis of 3-alkyl-2,3-dihydro-2,4-dioxo-6-phenyl-, 3-alkyl-2,3-dihydro-4-oxo-6-phenyl-2-thioxo-, and 3-alkyl-2-arylimino-2,3-dihydro-4-oxo-6-phenyl-4H-1,3-thiazines

The reactions of 1-alkylamino-1-alkylthio-3-phenylpropene-3-thiones 3 with thiophosgene and phosgene in toluene, followed by treatment of the reaction mixture with triethylamine gave 3-alkyl-2,3-dihydro-4-oxo-6-phenyl-2-thioxo- 4 , 3-alkyl-2,3-dihydro-2,4-dioxo-6-phenyl-4H-1,3-thiazines 5 , respectively in good to excellent yields. Similarly treatment of compounds 3 with N-arylimidoyl dichloride in benzene at room temperature gave 3-alkyl-2-arylimino-2,3-dihydro-4-oxo-6-phenyl-4H-1,3-thiazines 6 in excellent yields. The reactions of compounds 3 with oxalyl chloride in toluene gave also 5 in good yields.     

Heterocyclic compounds from 3,3-dimercapto-1-aryl-2-propen-1-ones. Note 3. Condensation with N-methyl-o-phenylenediamine and N-benzyl-o-phenylenediamine

Two seven-membered ring compounds and three five-membered ring compounds were obtained by reaction in hot xylene of 3,3-dimercapto-l-phenyl-2-propen-1-one (1) with N-alkyl-o-phenylenediamines (2) . Compounds isolated were the 4-phenyl-5-alkyl-1,5-dihydro-2H-1,5-benzodiazepine-2-thiones (3) the 1-alkyl-4-phenyl-1,3-dihydro-2H-1,5-benzodiazepine-2-thiones (4) , the 1-alkyl-2-phenacylbenzimidazoles (5) , the 1-alkyl-2-phenylbenzimidazoles (6) and the 1-alkyl-2-methylbenzimidazoles (7) . The structures of these compounds were elucidated from their chemical reactivity and their nmr and ir spectra.     

The reactions of 4-dicyanomethylene-2-phenyl-4H-1-benzopyran and some benzologs with nucleophiles

4-Dicyanomethylene-2-phenyl-4H-1-benzopyran (1) reacts with primary amines under mild conditions to give 4-imino-3-alkyl-5-alkylimino-2-phenyl-3,4-dihydro-5H-[1]benzopyrano[3,4-c]-pyridine derivatives which, in turn, are hydrolyzed with acid to 4-imino-3-alkyl-2-phenyl-3,4-dihydro-5H-[1]benzopyrano[3,4-c]pyridin-5-ones. When more vigorous conditions are employed for the reactions of 1 with primary amines, Dimroth rearrangements take place and the products are derivatives of 4-alkyl- (or aryl)amino-5-alkyl- (or aryl)imino-2-phenyl-5H-[1]benzopyrano-[3,4-c]pyridine. The latter compounds are hydrolyzed by acid to the corresponding 5-pyridone derivatives. The reaction of 1 with piperidine gives 2-phenyl-4-piperidyl-5H-[1]benzopyrano-[3,4-c]pyridin-5-one. Sodium methoxide reacts with 1 to give 3-cyano-2-methoxy-4-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-6-phenylpyridine. Two benzologs of 1 have been allowed to react with primary and secondary amines and the products are analogous to those obtained from 1 .

The synthesis of 3H-pyrazol-3-one derivatives containing a 9H-xanthene ring

2,4-Dihydro-5-methyl-2-phenyl-4-(9H-xanthen-9-yl)-3H-pyrazol-3-one ( 3 ) was prepared by the condensation of phenylhydrazine and ethyl α-acetyl-9H-xanthene-9-acetate ( 2 ), or 9H-xanthen-9-ol ( 1 ) and 2,4-dihydro-5-methyl-2-phenyl-3H-pyrazol-3-one ( 4 ). 5-Amino-2,4-dihydro-2-phenyl-4-(9H-xanthen-9-yl)-3H-pyrazol-3-one ( 6 ) was obtained by the condensation of 1 and 5-amino-2,4-dihydro-2-phenyl-3H-pyrazol-3-one ( 5 ).     

Synthesis of 3-alkyl-6-phenyl-4(3H)-pteridinones and their 8-oxides. Potential substrates of xanthine oxidase

Synthetic routes for the preparation of 3-alkyl-6-phenyl-4(3H)-pteridinones 6 and their corresponding 8-oxides 5 (R = CH₃, C₂H₅, (CH₂)₂CH₃, (CH₂)₃CH₃, CH(CH₃)C₂H₅, CH(CH₃)₂ and CH(C₂H₅)CH₂OCH(OC₂H₅)₂ are described and their reactivities towards xanthine oxidase from Arthrobacter M-4 are determined. Only the 3-methyl derivative of 6-phenyl-4(3H)-pteridinone and its 8-oxide i. e. 6a and 5a are found to be substrates although their reactivities are still very low. Oxidation takes place at C-2 of the pteridinone nucleus. All the 3-alkyl derivatives are less tightly bound to the enzyme than 6-phenyl-4(3H)-pteridinone. Introduction of the N-oxide at N-8 considerably lowers the binding of the substrates. Inhibition studies have revealed that 3-methyl-6-phenyl-4(3H)-pteridinone ( 6a ) is a non-competitive inhibitor with a Ki-value of 47 μM and the 3-ethyl derivative ( 6b ) an uncompetitive one with a Ki-value of 19.6 μM.     

Synthesis of 3H-pyrazol-3-one derivatives containing a 9H-thioxanthene ring

2,4-Dihydro-5-methyl-2-phenyl-4-(9H-thioxanthen-9-yl)-3H-pyrazol-3-one ( 3 ) was prepared by condensing 9H-thioxanthen-9-ol ( 1 ) with 2,4-dihydro-5-methyl-2-phenyl-3H-pyrazol-3-one ( 2 ), or by cyclizing ethyl α-acetyl-9H-thioxanthene-9-acetate ( 4 ) with phenylhydrazine. 2,4-Dihydro-5-methyl-2-phenyl-4-(9H-thioxan- then-9-yl)-3H-pyrazol-3-one 10,10-dioxide ( 8 ) was prepared by cyclizing ethyl α-acetyl-9H-thioxanthene-9-acetate 10,10-dioxide ( 7 ) with phenylhydrazine. Compound 8 was also obtained by oxidizing 3 with hydrogen peroxide in acetic acid. 5-Amino-2,4-dihydro-2-phenyl-4(9H-thioxanthen-9-yl)-3H-pyrazol-3-one ( 10 ) was obtained by condensing 1 with 5-amino-2,4-dihydro-2-phenyl-3H-pyrazol-3-one ( 9 ).     

The m/z 91 rearrangement ion in the mass spectra of some 1,4-benzodiazepines

With the aid of isotope labeling and by substituent shifts, the relatively strong m/z 91 ion in the mass spectra of 7-chloro-2-methoxy-5-phenyl-3H-1,4-benzodiazepine and related compounds was shown to contain the 5-phenyl ring and the 3-CH₂ group. Mechanisms involving the opening of the 7-membered ring and the migration of the phenyl ring from C-5 to C-3 are postulated for the formation of this ion. This rearrangement ion was also observed in the mass spectra of some 1-alkyl-7-chloro-1,3-dhydro-5-phenyl-2H-1,4-benzodiazepin-2-ones.

Reaction of ketenes with N,N-disubstituted α-aminomethyleneketones. X. Synthesis of N,N-disubstituted 6-alkyl-4-amino-3,3-dichloro-3,4-dihydro-2H-pyran-2-ones and of 6-alkyl-4-amino-3-chloro-2H-pyran-2-ones

Cycloaddition of dichloroketene to N,N-disubstituted 1-amino-4-methyl-1-penten-3-ones and 1-amino-4,4-dimethyl-1-penten-3-ones occurred in moderate to fair yield only in the case of aromatic N-substitution to give N,N-disubstituted 6-alkyl-4-amino-3,3-dichloro-3,4-dihydro-2H-pyran-2-ones, which were dehydrochlorinated with DBN to afford in good yield N,N-disubstituted 6-alkyl-4-amino-3-chloro-2H-pyran-2-ones. In the case of aliphatic N,N-disubstitution, cyclo-addition led directly to 6-alkyl-4-dialkylamino-3-chloro-2H-pyran-2-ones only for N,N-disubstituted 1-amino-4,4-dimethyl-1-penten-3-ones. The reaction between 1-dimethylamino-4-methyl-1-penten-3-one and dichloroketene gave 3-chloro-4-dimethylamino-3,6-dihydro-6-isopropylidene-2H-pyran-2-one in low yield.     

Synthesis of azolo[a]pyridines from 5-(bromomethyl)hept-4-en-3-one and 5-bromopent-3-en-2-one derivatives

The reactions of some pyraiiylideneiminium salts with amines. II

The iminium salt, N,N-dimethyl-N-[2-(2-phenyl-4H-l-benzopyran-4-ylidene)ethylidene] imin-ium perchlorate ( 3 ), reacts with secondary amines by exchanging the dimethylimino group for the added amine. Primary amines also reacted with 3 in the same manner. The bis iminium salts, N,N,N',N'-tetramethyl-N,N'-[2-(2-phenyl-4H-l-benzopyran-4-ylidene)-1,3-propanediylidene]-bis(immium perclilorate) ( 4 ) and the corresponding thiapyran derivative ( 5 ), react with ammonia to give 5-dimethylamino-2-phenyl-5H-1-benzopyrano[3,4-c]pyridine ( 10 ) and the thia analog 11 . The reactions of 4 and 5 with primary amines give 3-alkyl-5-dimethylamino-2-phenyl-5H-l-beiizopyrano[3,4-c]pyridinium perclilorate salts or the corresponding thiapyrano compounds. Compounds 4 and 5 react with secondary amines by exchanging the dimethylimino groups with the secondary amine and addition of the amine at the 2-position of the pyran or thiapyran ring.

Synthesis of 3-substituted 1-aryl-4,6-dinitro-1H-indazoles based on picrylacetaldehyde and their behavior in nucleophilic substitution reactions

A method for the synthesis of 1-aryl-3-formyl-4,6-dinitro-1H-indazoles by the reaction of picrylacetaldehyde with aryldiazonium salts followed by intramolecular cyclization of the resulting picrylglyoxal monoarylhydrazones was developed. Various 4,6-dinitro-1-phenyl-1H-indazoles substituted in position 3 were prepared via transformations involving the formyl group of 3-formyl-4,6-dinitro-1-phenyl-1H-indazole. 3-R-4,6-Dinitro-1-phenyl-1H-indazoles (R = CHO, CN, 1,3-dioxolan-2-yl) react regiospecifically with anionic O-, S-, and N-nucleophiles, in particular, with replacement of only the 4-NO₂ group. Thus previously unknown 3-R-4-Nu-6-nitro-1-phenyl-1H-indazoles were synthesized (Nu is a nucleophile residue).     

Synthesis of 3-Alkyl-6-aryl(arylamino)-7H-[1,2,4]triazolo- [3,4-b][1,3,4]thiadiazines

Starting from 5-alkyl-4-amino-4H-1,2,4-triazole-3-thiols and substituted chloroacetanilides, the corresponding (5-alkyl-4-amino-4H-1,2,4-triazol-3-ylsulfanyl)acetanilides were synthesized. The products underwent intramolecular cyclization in boiling phosphoryl chloride to afford 3-alkyl-6-arylamino-7H-[1,2,4]-triazolo[3,4-b][1,3,4]thiadiazines. 3-Alkyl-6-aryl-7H-[1,2,4]triazolo[3,4-b][1,3,4]thiadiazine hydrobromides were obtained by reaction of 5-alkyl-4-amino-4H-1,2,4-triazole-3-thiols with substituted phenacyl bromides.     

Tetracyclic phenothiazines. III. . Intermolecular hydride transfer in acid induced disproportionation of 1,2-dihydro-3-hydroxy-3H-pyrido[3,2,1-kl] phenothiazines

1,2-Dihydro-3-hydroxy-3H-pyrido[3,2,1-kl]phenothiazines and 1H-pyrido[3,2,1-kl]phenothiazines undergo acid catalyzed disproportionation with intermolecular hydride transfer to form pyrido[3,2,1-kl]phenothiazinium salts and 1,2-dihydro-3H-pyrido[3,2,1-kl]phenothiazines. Sodium borohydride reduction of 3-alkyl- or 3-arylpyrido[3,2,1-kl]phenothiazinium salts gives 3-alkyl- or 3-aryl-1H-pyrido[3,2,1-kl]phenothiazines. In the presence of a proton source, borohydride reduction of pyrido[3,2,1-kl]phenothiazinium fluoroborate or 3-chloropyrido-[3,2,1-kl]phenothiazinium perchlorate gives 1,2-dihydro-3H-pyrido[3,2,1-kl]phenothiazine, while 1H-pyrido[3,2,1-kl]phenothiazine is formed in aprotic solvents with pyridine present.
