Enantioselective synthesis of furo[2,3-b]furans, a spongiane diterpenoid substructure

[structure: see text] A short and enantioselective synthesis of cis-fused 5-oxofuro[2,3-b]furans, being found in many spongiane diterpenoid natural products, is reported starting from inexpensive methyl 2-furoate. Moreover, the acid-catalyzed rearrangement of the furo[2,3-b]furan framework A to B is observed for some derivatives, suggesting a simple connection between natural products differing in the absolute configuration of the 3a,6a ring junction.     

Interaction of benzothieno[2,3-c]pyrylium salts with hydrazine. Derivatives of 5H-[2,3]benzothieno[2,3-e]diazepines

A study has been made of the reaction of 1,3-disubstituted bezothieno[2,3-c]pyrylium salts with hydrazine. It has been shown that 1,3-dialkyl-substituted benzothieno[2,3-c]pyrylium salts interact with hydrazine to give N-amino-1,3-dialkylbenzothieno[2,3-c]pyridines. The presence of a pyrylium ring on one of the positions of the phenyl group leads to a mixture of N-amino derivatives and 5H-[2,3]benzothieno[2,3-e]diazepines. In contrast, 1,3-diphenylbenzothieno[2,3-c]pyrylium perchlorate gives exclusively 5H-[2,3]benzothieno[2,3-e]diazepine.L. M.

Condensed imidazo-1,2,4-azines. 15. Reaction of 1,2-diaminobenzimidazole with 5-phenyl-2,3-dihydrofuran-2,3-dione

The reaction of 1,2-diaminobenzimidazole with 5-phenyl-2,3-dihydrofuran-2,3-dione in acetic acid gave a mixture of 2-benzoylmethyl-1,2,4-triazino [2,3-a]-benzimidazol-4H-3-one and 3-benzoylmethyl-1,2,4-triazino[2,3-a]benzimidazol-1H-2-one, the intramolecular cyclization of which gave isomeric 2-phenylfuro-[5,4-e]- and 2-phenylfuro[4,5-e]-1,2,4-triazino[2,3-a]benzimidazoles. Only the corresponding furo[4,5-e]-1,2,4-triazino[2,3-a]benzimidazole was isolated when the reaction was carried out in sulfuric acid.See [1] for Communication 14.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 4, pp. 533–535, April, 1987.     

A NOVEL SYNTHESIS OF 2-SUBSTITUTED-4H-THIENO [2,3-d][1,3] OXAZIN-4-ONE AND 2,3-DISUBSTITUTED THIENO [2,3-d]PYRIMIDIN-4(3H)-ONE DERIVATIVES

Abstract

The synthesis of acetic 2-{[1-methyl-2-(4-oxo-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-4H-benzo [4,5]-thieno [2,3-d] [1,3-oxazin-2-yl)ethylidene]amino}-4,5,6,7-tetrahydrohenzo[b]thiophene ?3-carboxylic acid anhydride 5 and 2-(oxopropyl)-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-4H-benzo-[4,5] thieno[2,3-d][1,3]oxazin-4-one 7, has been achieved in three steps from ethyl 2-amino-4,5,6,7-tetrahydrobenzo(b]thiophene-3-carboxlate 1 via the reaction with ethyl acetoacetate followed by hydrolysis and acetic anhydride-induced cyclization. The 2-substituent in compound 5 has two functional groups i.e. active methylene and acid anhydride which are suitably located for intramolecular transformation. Thermal and/or base catalyzed intramolecular cyclization of 5 afforded 2-(4-acetoxy-(hydroxyl)-2-methyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydrobenzo[4,5] thieno[2,3-b]pyridin-3-yl)-5,6,7,8- tetrahydro-4H-benzo[4,5]thieno[2,3-d] [1,3]oxazin-4-one 10 and 9 respectively. Treatment of 5 with hydrazine hydrate, aromatic and/or heterocyclic amines induced the same intramolecular cyclization with a concomitant oxazine-pyrimidine interconversion to give 3-amino(aryl or heteryl)-2-(4-hydroxy-5,6,7,8-tetrdhydrobenzo-[4,5]thieno[2,3-b]pyridin-3-yl)-3,4,5,6,7,8-hexahydrobenzo[4,5] thieno[2,3-d] pyrimid in-4-one 11–14 respectively.     

Polymethine dyes — Furo[2,3-g]benzothiazole derivatives

A new heterocyclic base- 2-methylfuro[2,3-g]benzothiazole — and cyanine dyes with residues of this base were synthesized. It is shown that introduction of a furo[2,3] group in the 6,7 positions of the benzothiazole residue in the cyanines leads to a smaller bathochromic effect than the introduction of a thieno[2,3] and, particularly, a benzo group in the same positions.     

Synthesis and Properties of 6-Amino-7-hetaryl-5-R-5H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyrazine-2,3-dicarbonitriles

We have established that when 5-chloro-6-[cyano(2,3-dihydro-1-R-benzo[d]azol-2-yl)methyl]-2,3-pyrazinedicarbonitriles are reacted with nucleophilic reagents (aliphatic and aromatic amines, hydrogen sulfide), annelation of the five-membered ring occurs on the [b] face of the pyrazine with formation of 6-amino-7-hetaryl-5-R-5H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyrazine-2,3-dicarbonitriles and 6-amino-7-(1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2-yl)thieno[2,3-b]pyrazine-2,3-dicarbonitrile respectively. Further heating with excess of acylating reagent leads to formation of a novel heterocyclic system 1H-benzo[4,5]imidazo[1,2-c]pyrazino[2',3':4,5]pyrrolo[3,2-e]pyrimidine. Reaction of vicinal dinitriles with hydrazine hydrate leads to the novel system 1H-pyrrolo[2',3':5,6]pyrazino[2,3-d]pyridazine.     

Structural Determination of the [4+2] Dimer of 2,3-Dimethylene-2,3-Dihydrothiophene from Deuterium Labeling Study

2,3-Dimethylene-2,3-dihydrothiophene (1a), prepared by the flash vacuum pyrolysis of 3-methyl-2-thienylmethyl benzoate (7a), rapidly dimerizes to form a [4 + 2] dimer 6. The structure of the [4+2] dimer 6 was confirmed by comparing its NMR spectrum with that of the [4 + 2] dimers from 2-dideuteriomethylene-3-methylene-2,3-dihydrothiophene (1b) and 2-methylene-3-dideuteriomethylene-2,3-dihydrothiophene (1c).     

Synthesis of 2,3-dihydrospiro[benzofuran-2,4′ -piperidines] and 2,3-dihydrospiro[benzofuran-2,3′-pyrrolidines]

The synthesis of 2,3-dihydrospiro[benzofuran-2,4′-piperidines] 3 and 2,3-dihydrospiro[benzofuran-2,3′]-pyrrolidine] 6 is described. The synthesis was achieved by a Grignard reaction of a 2-fluorobenzylhalide with an appropriate cycloazaalkyl ketone to yield the tertiary alcohols 1 and 4 . Subsequent intramolecular displacement of the aromatic fluoride by the derived alkoxides provided the novel system. Nitration of 1′-acetyl-2,3-dihydrospiro[benzofuran-2,4′-piperidine] 7 resulted in a 5-nitro derivative.     

Synthesis and Ring Transformation of Pyrrolo[2,3-d][1,3]oxazine to Pyrrolo[2,3-d]Pyrimidines

A convenient route is reported for the synthesis of fused pyrrolo[2,3-d][1,3]oxazine and pyrrolo[2,3-d]-pyrimidine derivatives from 2-amino-1-benzyl-3-t-butoxycarbonyl]-4,5-dimethylpyrrole.     

Synthesis of 2,3-dioxo-2,3-dihydro-4-methyl-6-chloro-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridine and its 1-α-L-arabinopyranoside

A new type of isatin analog-2,3-dioxo-2,3-dihydro-4-methyl-6-chloro-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridine — was obtained by oxidation of 4-methyl-6-chloro-1H-pyrrolo(2,3-b]pyridine. Condensation of L-arabinose with 4-methyl-6-chloro-2,3-dihydropyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridine and subsequent acetylation and dehydrogenation gave 1-(2,3,4-tri-O-acetyl--L-arabinopyranosyl)-4-methyl-6-chloropyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridine, which served as the starting compound for the synthesis of 1--L-arabinopyranosyl-4-methyl-6-chloropyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridine. Oxidation of 1-(2,3,4-tri-O-acetyl-L-arabinopyranosyl)-4-methyl-6-chloropyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridine gave 1-(2,3.4-tri-O-acetyl--L-arabinopyranosyl)-2,3-dioxo-2,3-dihydro-4-methyl-6-chloropyrrolo [2,3-b]pyridine.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 8, pp. 1083–1086, August, 1977.     

Polymethine dyes — Benzofuro[2,3-b]pyridine and selenonaphtheno[2,3-b]pyridine derivatives

Polymethine dyes — benzofuro[2,3-b]pyridine and selenonaphtheno[2,3-b]pyridine derivatives — were synthesized, and their spectral properties are discussed. Replacement of a vinylene group by an oxygen or selenium atom in one benzene ring of the 2-benzo[h]quinoline residue in the cyanines causes a large bathochromic shift of the absorption maxima of the dyes as compared with replacement by a sulfur atom. The dyes derived from benzofuro[2,3-b]pyridine derivatives are more deeply colored than the derivatives of both thionaphtheno[2,3-b]-pyridine and selenonaphtheno[2,3-b]pyridine.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 12, pp.1611–1614, December, 1972.     

One-Pot Synthesis of 2,3-Dihydro-2,3-disubstituted Benzo[g]-quinazolin-4(1H)-ones

Condensation of 2H-naphth[2,3-d][3,1] oxazin-2,4 (IH)-dione (1) with schiff bases (2) in acetic acid resulted in the formation of 2,3-dihydro-2,3-diarylbenzo[g]quinazolin-4(IH)-ones (3). Reaction of 1 with ketoanils generated in situ results in 2,3-dihydro-2,2-substituted-3-phenylbenzo[g]quinazolin-4 (IH)-ones (6) and the spiroalkanes (5). Dehydrogenation of 3 gave 2,3-diaryl benzo[g]quinazolin-4(3H)-ones (7).     

Reactions with benzo[b]thiophene-2,3-diones I: Synthesis of 2,3-dihydroxy-2,3-diaryl(aralkyl)benzo[b]thiophene derivatives

Benzo[b]thiophene-2,3-diones ( 1 ) react with Grignard reagents to yield 2,3-dihydroxy-2,3-diaryl(aralkyl)benzo[b]-thiophenes ( 2 ). The latter compounds yield 3,3-diaryl(aralkyl)-benzo[b]thiophene-2-ones ( 3 ) by pinacolone rearrangement. Treatment of 3 by hot ethanolic sodium hydroxide solution yields the corresponding carboxylic acids by hydrolytic heteroring opening.     

Synthesis of 3-amino derivatives of benzo[b]furo[2,3-c]pyridines

The reaction of 1,7-dimethyl-3(2H)-benzo[b]furo[2,3-c]pyridone with phosphoric acid amides gave 1,7-dimethyl-3-dimethylamino (morpholino)benzo[b]furo[2,3-c]pyridines. A method for the synthesis of 3-amino derivatives of 4-nitrobenzo[b]furo[2,3-c]pyridines, which consists in heating 1,7-dimethyl-4-nitro-3(2H)-benzo[b]furo[2,3-c]pyridone with hexamethyldisilazane and secondary or primary amines in pyridine, was developed.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 11, pp. 1552–1555, November, 1991.     

Synthesis of 2,3-dihydro-5H-oxazolo[2,3-B]quinazolin-5-ones

Iodide-catalyzed ring expansion of 2-[(1-aziridinylcarbonyl)amino]benzoic acid methyl ester (2) gave 2,3-dihydro-5H-oxazolo[2,3-b]quinazolin-5-one (3) in quantitative yield. Treatment of the dimethyl analog of 2 (9) with sodium iodide in acetone gave a mixture of the 2,3-dihydro-2,2-dimethyl- (10) and 2,3-dihydro-3,3-dimethyl-5H-oxazolo[2,3-b]quinazolin-5-ones (11). However, rearrangement of 9 with sulfuric acid produced only 10. Synthesis of 11 by another route for comparison is described, and the known syntheses of 2,3-dihydro-5H-oxazolo[2,3-b]quinazolin-5-ones are reviewed.     

A Useful Synthesis of 2-Methyl-2,3-dihydrofuro [2,3-b] Quinolines

A convenient, general synthesis of 2-methyl-2,3-dihydrofuro [2,3-b] quinolines is described from o-nitrobenzaldehydes. The benzaldehydes (la-c) on reaction with phosphorane 2 provide (E)-ethyl-α-allylcinnamates (3a-c) in high yields. These esters 3a-c on reduction followed by acid catalysed cyclisation give 2,3-dihydrofuro [2,3-b] quinolines (5a-c).     

The synthesis of [1]benzothieno[2,3-c]quinolines, [1]benzothieno[2,3-c][1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]quinoline,and [1]benzothieno[2,3-c]tetrazolo[1,5-a]quinoline

Photocyclization of 3-chloro-N-phenylbenzo[b]thiophene-2-carboxamide 10 afforded [1]benzothieno[2,3-c]-quinolin-6(5H)-one 11 which was chlorinated to 6-chloro[1]benzothieno[2,3-c]quinoline 12 followed by dechlorination to give [1]benzothieno[2,3-c]quinoline 5 . A series of 6-substituted alkoxy and thioalkoxy[1]benzothieno[2,3-c]quinoline derivatives were prepared along with the N-methyl quaternary salt 13 of 5 . 6-Chloro[1]-benzothieno[2,3-c]quinoline 12 was converted into 6-hydrazino[1]benzothieno[2,3-c]quinoline 23 which upon treatment with formic acid yielded [1]benzothieno[2,3-c][1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]quinoline 6 . Treatment of 23 with nitrous acid resulted in [1]benzothieno[2,3-c]tetrazolo[1,5-a]quinoline 7 . Compounds 6 and 7 are novel heterocyclic ring systems.     

Povarov reactions involving 3-aminocoumarins: synthesis of 1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyrido[2,3-c]coumarins and pyrido[2,3-c]coumarins

Condensation of 3-aminocoumarin (5) with 4-nitrobenzaldehyde (8) afforded a 2-azadiene (9), which reacted with various electron-rich alkenes (10 examples) in the presence of Yb(OTf)3 to afford 1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyrido[2,3-c]coumarins. Yields were generally good, but the diastereomeric ratios were highly variable. The products arose through a formal [4 + 2] cycloaddition (inverse electron demand Diels-Alder reaction) followed by tautomerization. As such, these are examples of the Povarov reaction. A range of 1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyrido[2,3-c]coumarins was then synthesized using a three-component version of this reaction, which involves in situ formation of the 2-azadiene component. Some of these products were converted into the corresponding pyrido[2,3-c]coumarins upon treatment with various oxidants, the most effective of which proved to be nitrous gases.     

Synthesis and antiplatelet activities of N-arylmethyl-3,4-dimethylpyrano[2,3-c]pyrazol-6-one derivatives.

A series of new 1- and 2-arylmethyl-3,4-dimethylpyrano[2,3-c]pyrazol-6-one derivatives were synthesized and examined for their antiplatelet activities. Some of these compounds showed significant inhibitory activities. Among them, 1-phenylmethyl-3,4-dimethylpyrano[2,3-c]pyrazol-6(1H)-one (4a), 2-(2'-methoxyphenyl)methyl-3,4-dimethylpyrano[2,3-c]pyrazol-6(2H)- one (3e) and 2-(3'-methoxyphenyl)methyl-3,4-dimethylpyrano[2,3-c]pyrazol-6-(2H) - one (3f) were the most effective. These inhibitors acted in a concentration-dependent manner. The antiplatelet effect of compound 3f is due to the inhibition of thromboxane A2 formation and the blockade of thromboxane A2/prostaglandin endoperoxide receptor in washed rabbit platelets.     

Condensed imidazo-1,2,4-azines. 21. Synthesis of 2-arylfuro(pyrrolo-, thieno-)[2,3-e]-1,2,4-triazino[2,3-a]benzimidazoles by cyclization of 2-aroyl-1,2,4-triazino[2,3-a]benzimidazol-4H-3-ones

2-[(-Ethyl-, arylimino)phenethyl]-1,2,4-triazino[2,3-a]benzimidazoles were obtained by reaction of 2-aroylmethyl-1,2,4-triazino[2,3-a]benzimidazol-4H-3-ones with ethyl(aryl)amines or urea. By the action of phosphorus oxychloride, these benzimidazoles cyclize into substituted pyrrolo[2,3-e]-1,2,4-triazino[2,3-a]benzimidazoles, heating of which in polyphosphoric acid leads to the formation of furo[2,3-e]-1,2,4-triazino[2,3-a]benzimidazoles, while by the action of P₄S₁₀, they are transformed into thieno[2,3-e]-1,2,4-triazino[2,3-a]benzimidazoles.For Communication 20, see [1].Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 8, pp. 1109–1113, August, 1989.
