The [3+2] cycloaddition of acrylonitrile to the N-oxide of 5-methyl-4,5-dihydro-3H-spiro[benz-2-azepine-3,1'-cyclohexane] under conditions of both kinetic and thermodynamic control proceeds without regioselectivity or stereoselectivity with the formation of eight isomeric 1-cyano- and 2-cyano-7-methyl-1,2,4,6,7,11b-hexahydro-5H-spiro[isoxazolidino[3,2-a]benz-2-azepine-5,1'-cyclohexanes], six of which were isolated in an individual state. Their structure and stereochemistry were established by ¹H NMR.     

Some Chemical Transformations of 4,5-Dihydro-5-methyl-3H-spiro[benz-2-azepine-3,1'-cyclohexane] N-Oxide

The oxidation and reduction of 4,5-dihydro-5-methyl-3H-spiro[benz-2-azepine-3,1'-cyclohexane] N-oxide, the reactions of this N-oxide with methylmagnesium iodide, the sodium salt of diethyl malonate, phenyl isocyanate, and its rearrangement by the action of acetic anhydride lead to N-hydroxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydrobenz-2-azepines, benz-2-azepine-1-one, and its N-acetoxy derivative as well as isoxazolidino- and oxadiazolidino[3,2-a]benz-2-azepines spirofused with a cyclohexane ring.     

Reactions of 4,5-Dihydro-5-methyl-3H-spiro[benz-2-azepine-3-cyclohexane] N-Oxide with Some Nucleophilic Reagents

4,5-Dihydro-5-methyl-3H-spiro[benz-2-azepine-3-cyclohexane] N-oxide reacted with cyanide ion and isopropyl magnesium bromide to give the corresponding 1-cyano- and 1-isopropyl-4,5-dihydro-5-methyl-3H-spiro[benz-2-azepine-3-cyclohexane], but reaction with phenyl magnesium bromide, benzyl magnesium chloride, and nitromethane gave cyclic hydroxylamines: 1-substituted N-hydroxy-1,2,4,5-tetrahydro-5-methyl-3H-spiro[benz-2-azepine-3-cyclohexanes] which were oxidized to the corresponding nitrones.     

[3+2] Cycloaddition of Dimethyl Acetylenedicarboxylate, Methyl Acrylate, and Ethyl Acrylate to 4,5-Dihydro-5-methyl-3H-spiro[benz-2-azepine-3,1'-cyclohexane] N-Oxide

The cycloaddition of methyl acrylate and ethyl acrylate to 4,5-dihydro-5-methyl-3H-spiro[benz-2-azepine-3,1'-cyclohexane] N-oxide proceeds without either regiospecificity or stereospecificity. Eight geometrical isomers of spiro[isoxazolidino[3,2-a]benz-2-azepine-5,1'-cyclohexane] were formed, of which several were isolated as pure samples. The cycloaddition of dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate proceeds stereoselectively, leading to spiro[isoxazolino[3,2-a]benz-2-azepine-5,1'-cyclohexane] with cis arrangement of the protons at C₍₇₎ and C_(11b).

Methods for the synthesis of substituted pyrimido [4,5-a]- and pyrido[4,3-a]carbazoles were proposed. Condensation of 2-(dimethylaminomethylene)-6-methyl-2,3,4,9-tetrahydro-1H-carbazol-1-one with guanidine and thiourea afforded 2-amino-8-methyl-6,11-dihydro-5H-pyrimido[4,5-a]carbazole and 8-methyl-3,5,6,11-tetrahydro-2H-pyrimido[4,5-a]carbazole-2-thione, respectively. The reaction of cyano(6-methyl-2,3,4,9-tetrahydro-1H-carbazol-1-ylidene)acetamide with dimethylformamide dimethyl acetal gave N-(dimethylamino-methylene)cyano(6-methyl-2,3,4,9-tetrahydro-1H-carbazol-1-ylidene)acetamide. Cyclization of the latter yielded 1-cyano-8-methyl-3,5,6,11-tetrahydro-2H-pyrido[4,3-a]carbazol-2-one.__________Published in Russian in Izvestiya Akademii Nauk.

The compounds 4 (R = phenyl, hydrogen) are converted into their corresponding 1-methylpyrrolo-[2,3-d]pyridazines 6 by reaction with potassium permanganate in butanone. Reaction of 3-phenyl-1,2,4,5-te-trazine with 2 and 3 leads to the exclusive formation of the 7-phenyl isomer 4d and 9-phenyl isomer 5d , respectively, indicating that the cycloaddition is regiospecific. The mechanism is discussed.     

A facile one-pot synthesis of 6,7,8,9-tetrahydrobenzo[4,5]thieno[2,3-d]-1,2,4-triazolo[4,5-a]pyrimidin-5-ones

Abstract  

The reaction of 2-mercapto-6,7,8,9-tetrahydro-3H-benzo[4,5]thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4-one or its 2-methylthio derivative with hydrazonoyl halides, in the presence of triethylamine, yielded 6,7,8,9-tetrahydrobenzo[4,5]thieno[2,3-d]-1,2,4-triazolo[4,5-a]pyrimidin-5-ones. The structure of the latter compounds was further confirmed by reaction of 2-mercapto-6,7,8,9-tetrahydro-3H-benzo[4,5]thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4-one with the appropriate active chloromethylenes followed by coupling of the products with benzenediazonium chloride to afford the non-isolable azo-coupling products which converted, in situ, to 6,7,8,9-tetrahydrobenzo[4,5]thieno[2,3-d]-1,2,4-triazolo[4,5-a]pyrimidin-5-ones. The reaction mechanism was proposed and the products were screened for their biological activity. Some of the newly synthesized compounds had a moderate effect against some bacterial and fungal species.

Antibacterial properties of 3 H-spiro[1-benzofuran-2,1'-cyclohexane] derivatives from Heliotropium filifolium

A re-examination of cuticular components of Heliotropium filifolium allowed the isolation of four new compounds: 3'-hydroxy-2',2',6'-trimethyl-3H-spiro[1-benzo-furan-2,1'-cyclohexane]-5-carboxylic acid(2), methyl 3'-acetyloxy-2',2',6'-trimethyl-3H-spiro[1-benzofuran-2,1'-cyclohexane]-5-carboxylate (3), methyl 3'-isopentanoyloxy-2',2',6'-trimethyl-3H-spiro[1-benzofuran-2,1'-cyclohexane]-5-carboxylate (4) and methyl 3'-benzoyloxy-2',2',6'-trimethyl-3H-spiro[1-benzofuran-2,1'-cyclohexane]-5-carboxylate (5).Compounds 2-5 were identified by their spectroscopic analogies with filifolinol (1), and their structures confirmed by chemical correlation with 1. The antimicrobial properties of the compounds were tested against Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria. Some of them proved to be active against Gram positive, but inactive against Gram negative bacteria. In searching for structure-activity relationships from the obtained MIC values, lipophilicity was shown to be an important variable.

Synthesis of some novel fused tetracyclic quinolonecarboxylic acids via 7-methyl-6,7,8,9-tetrahydro-3H-imidazo[4,5-f]quinoline and 6-methyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-1H-imidazo[4,5-g]quinoline

A series of fused tetracyclic quinolonecarboxylic acids was prepared for biological evaluation. These compounds were synthesized by a route involving a regiospecific functionalization of 5-fluoro-2-methyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoline to obtain a series of new substituted 7-methyl-6,7,8,9-tetrahydro-3H-imidazo[4,5-f]quinolines and 6-methyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-1H-imidazo[4,5-g]quinolines as convenient precursors of quinolones.     

Microwave assisted synthesis of some new thiazolopyrimidine, thiazolodipyrimidine and thiazolopyrimidothiazolopyrimidine derivatives with potential antioxidant and antimicrobial activity

Biginelli reaction of ethyl acetoacetate, thiourea and the appropriate aromatic aldehyde was used to produce ethyl 4-aryl-6-methyl-2-thioxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-pyrimidine-5-carboxylates, that reacted with bromomalononitrile to give ethyl 3-amino-5-aryl-2-cyano-7-methyl-5H-thiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidine-6-carboxylates rather than the isomeric 7H-thiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidines. Thiazolopyrimidine derivatives reacted with carbon disulphide to yield ethyl 9-aryl-7-methyl-2,4-dithioxo-2,3,4,9-tetrahydro-1H-thiazolo[3,2-a:4,5-d']dipyrimidine-8-carboxylates, that reacted with phenacyl bromide to produce ethyl 8-methyl-10-(4-methoxyphenyl)-3-substituted-5-thioxo-2(un)subatituted-10H-thiazolo[3',2':1',2']pyrimido[4',5':4,5]thiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidine-9-carboxylates. The aforementioned reactions were carried out using both conventional chemical methods and with the assistance of microwave irradaition. Comparison between both methods showed that the microwave assisted method is preferable because of the time reduction and yield improvements achieved. The new compounds were tested for their biological activity as antioxidants, antibacterial or antifungal agents. Some of the new compounds were found to have moderate to good antioxidant and antimicrobial activities.
