Reactivity of N-(omega-haloalkyl)-beta-lactams with regard to lithium aluminium hydride: novel synthesis of 1-(1-aryl-3-hydroxypropyl)aziridines and 3-aryl-3-(N-propylamino)propan-1-ols

The reactivity of 4-aryl-1-(2-chloroethyl)azetidin-2-ones and 4-aryl-1-(3-bromopropyl)azetidin-2-ones with regard to lithium aluminium hydride has been evaluated for the first time. 4-Aryl-1-(2-chloroethyl)azetidin-2-ones were transformed into novel 1-(1-aryl-3-hydroxypropyl)aziridines through an unprecedented conversion of beta-lactams into 2,3-unsubstituted aziridine derivatives. Unexpectedly, 4-aryl-1-(3-bromopropyl)azetidin-2-ones underwent dehalogenation towards 3-aryl-3-(N-propylamino)propan-1-ols upon treatment with LiAlH(4). 1-(1-Aryl-3-hydroxypropyl)aziridines were further elaborated by means of ring opening reactions using benzyl bromide in acetonitrile towards 3-aryl-3-[N-benzyl-N-(2-bromoethyl)amino]propan-1-ols and using aluminium(iii) chloride in diethyl ether, affording 3-aryl-3-[N-(2-chloroethyl)amino]propan-1-ols.

Synthesis of substituted 1,2-dihydropyridines by reaction of ethyl <Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-arylmalonamates with ethyl 2-(ethoxymethylidene)-3-oxobutanoate

Michael addition of ethyl N-arylmalonamates to ethyl 2-(ethoxymethylidene)-3-oxobutanoate in ethanol in the presence of triethylamine at room temperature afforded the corresponding adducts which underwent cyclization to diethyl 1-aryl-6-methyl-2-oxo-1,2-dihydropyridine-3,5-dicarboxylates in 17–65% yield. N-Alkylmalonamic acid esters failed to react with ethyl 2-(ethoxymethylidene)-3-oxobutanoate under analogous conditions.     

Regioselective Synthesis of 5- and 3-Hydroxy-N-Aryl-1H-Pyrazole-4-Carboxylates and Their Evaluation as Inhibitors of Plasmodium falciparum Dihydroorotate Dehydrogenase

In silico evaluation of various regioisomeric 5- and 3-hydroxy-substituted alkyl 1-aryl-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxylates and their acyclic precursors yielded promising results with respect to their binding in the active site of dihydroorotate dehydrogenase of Plasmodium falciparum (PfDHODH). Consequently, four ethyl 1-aryl-5-hydroxy-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxylates and their 3-hydroxy regioisomers were prepared by two-step syntheses via enaminone-type reagents or key intermediates. The synthesis of 5-hydroxy-1H-pyrazoles was carried out using the literature protocol comprising acid-catalyzed transamination of diethyl [(dimethylamino)methylene]malonate with arylhydrazines followed by base-catalyzed cyclization of the intermediate hydrazones. For the synthesis of isomeric methyl 1-aryl-3-hydroxy-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxylates, a novel two-step synthesis was developed. It comprises acylation of hydrazines with methyl malonyl chloride followed by cyclization of the hydrazines with tert-butoxy-bis(dimethylamino)methane. Testing the pyrazole derivatives for the inhibition of PfDHODH showed that 1-(naphthalene-2-yl)-5-hydroxy-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxylate and 1-(naphthalene-2-yl)-, 1-(2,4,6-trichlorophenyl)-, and 1-[4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-3-hydroxy-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxylates (~30% inhibition) were slightly more potent than a known inhibitor, diethyl α-{[(1H-indazol-5-yl)amino]methylidene}malonate (19% inhibition).     

Optimization of the selective monohydrolysis of diethyl 4-aryl-4H-pyran-3,5-dicarboxylates

A simple, efficient and eco-friendly procedure for the selective monohydrolysis of diethyl 2,6-dimethyl-4-aryl-4H-pyran-3,5-dicarboxylates under quaternary ammonium salt catalysis conditions is presented. The catalytic activities of various quaternary ammonium salts were investigated using different molar ratios of NaOH and water-organic solvent mixtures. The results indicate that the combination of 1.0 equivalent of tetraethyl-ammonium bromide (TEAB) with 1.2 equivalents of NaOH in a 10% water-ethanol media at 40 °C displays remarkable selectivity for the monohydrolysis of diethyl 2,6-dimethyl-4-aryl-4H-pyran-3,5-dicarboxylates. The utility of this process is demonstrated by the monohydrolysis of a series of 4-aryl-4H-pyran-3,5-dicarboxylate esters to afford the corresponding monoesters in 20-80% yields under the optimized conditions.     

Synthesis of substituted dihydropyridines by reacting ethoxymethylidenemalonate with malonic acid <Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-arylamidoesters

In the presence of sodium ethoxide the formed adducts may be also involved into simultaneous retro-Michael reaction leading to the formation of ethyl 1-aryl-5-arylcarbamoyl-6-hydroxy-2-oxo-1,2-dihydropyridine-3-carboxylates. Direction of heterocyclization or retro-Michael reaction is determined by the acidity of the hydrogen atoms of adducts and basicity of catalyst.
