Expansion of the pentafluorobenzene ring and other skeletal transformations in the reaction of perfluoro(1,2-diethyl-1-phenyl-1,2-dihydrocyclobutabenzene) with antimony pentafluoride

The reaction of perfluoro(1-phenyl-1,2-diethyl-1,2-dihydrocuclobutabenzene) with SbF5 at 20°C, followed by treatment of the reaction mixture with water gave perfluoro {4-[1-(2-propylphenyl)propylidene]-2,5-cyclohexadien-1-one} together with perfluoro[4b,10-diethylbenzo[a]azulen-7(4bH)-one] resulting from unusual expansion of the pentafluorobenzene ring to seven-membered ring. Analogous reaction at 90°C, apart from the above compounds, afforded perfluorinated 10-ethyl- and 3,10-diethylbenzo[a]azulen-6(10H)-ones via elimination of C₂F₅ group from the seven-membered ring or its migration to the benzene ring.     

Synthesis of annelated [a]aza-anthracenones and thieno[3,2-g]aza-naphthalenones through ring transformation of 2H-pyran-2-one followed by photocyclization

A concise synthesis of some new classes of heterocycles (4-aryl-11-oxo-1,2,3,11-tetrahydro-1,3a-diaza-cyclopenta[a]anthracen-6-carbonitriles and 5-aryl-12-oxo-1,3,4,12-tetrahydro-2H-1,4a-diazabenzo[a]anthracene-7-carbonitriles) has been developed by the ring transformation of suitably functionalized 2H-pyran-2-one with α-oxoketene cyclic aminals to intermediates (8-aroyl-5-aryl-2,3-dihydro-1H-imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine-7-ylidene)-acetonitriles and (9-aroyl-6-aryl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyrido[1,2-a]pyrimidin-8-ylidene)-acetonitriles) followed by their photocyclization either in CHCl₃ or acetonitrile. This reaction was further explored for the synthesis of methyl 4-aryl-11-oxo-1,2,3,11-tetrahydro-1,3a,9-triaza-cyclopenta[a]anthracene-6-carboxylate, 4-aryl-11-oxo-1,2,3,11-tetrahydro-1,3a,9-triaza-cyclopenta[a]anthracene-6-carbonitriles, 5-aryl-12-oxo-1,3,4,12-tetrahydro-2H-1,4a,10-triazabenzo[a]anthracene-7-carbonitriles, 4-aryl-10-oxo-1,2,3,10-tetrahydro-9-thia-1,3a-diazadicyclopenta[a,g]naphthalene-6-carbonitriles and 5-aryl-11-oxo-1,3,4,11-tetrahydro-2H-10-thia-1,4a-diazacyclopenta[b]phenanthrene-7-carbonitriles from the similar reactions.     

New chiral block for cyclopentanoids synthesis

Hydroxymethylation of bicyclic allylsilane, (3aR,6R,6aS)-3,3a,6,6a-tetrahydro-6-(trimethylsilyl)-cyclopenta[c]furan-1-one with formaldehyde by Prins reaction proceeds via S_E2' mechanism with the formation of anti-addition product. Some reactions of obtained (3aS,4S,6aR)-4-(hydroxymethyl)-3,3a,4,6a-tetrahydro-1H-cyclopenta[c]furan-1-one were investigated.     

Synthesis and redox behavior of 1,2-dihydro-1-oxabenz[a]azulen-2-ones

Three new 1,2-dihydro-1-oxabenz[a]azulen-2-one derivatives, 1a (R¹=H, R²=Me), 1b (R¹=H, R²=Ph), and 1c (R¹=COOEt, R²=Me), have been synthesized by the reaction of 2-hydroxyazulene (2a) and its 1-ethoxycarbonyl derivative 2b with ethyl acetoacetate (3a) or ethyl benzoylacetate (3b) in the presence of aluminum chloride. To our knowledge, these are the first examples of this type of compound, although the yield of the products is low in some cases. Their electronic properties were studied in detail utilizing the analyses of 1,2-dihydro-1-oxabenz[a]azulen-2-one derivative 1a by the spectroscopic and voltammetric analyses. The analyses revealed that the fused α-pyrone system lowers both the HOMO and the LUMO energies, relative to those of parent azulene (10), but has much pronounced effect on the LUMO, consequently, leading to decrease in HOMO–LUMO gap, compared with those of 10. These results should be attracted to the development of amphoteric redox materials. Reactivity toward electrophilic reagents was also examined by bromination and Vilsmeier–Haack formylation reactions of 1a. To evaluate the scope of the reaction products we have examined Sonogashira cross-coupling reaction of the bromination products with trimethylsilylacetylene and conversion of the formylation product to dibromoolefin by the reaction with phosphorous ylide prepared with CBr₄ and Ph₃P. Effective extension of the π-electron system in the ethynyl products has been revealed by the spectroscopic analysis. These reaction products would be attracted to the application as a terminal group for electronic applications.     

Electrophilic heterocyclization of 6-alken(yn)ylsulfanyl-pyrazolo[3,4-<Emphasis Type="Italic">d</Emphasis>]pyrimidin-4(5<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>)-ones

6-Allylsulfanyl-1-arylpyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-4(5H)-ones react with iodine and sulfuric acid to give angular pyrazolothiazolopyrimidine derivatives. The reaction of 6-(prop-2-yn-1-ylsulfanyl)-1-(4-tolyl)-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-4(5H)-one with sulfuric acid gives angularly fused pyrazolo[4,3-e][1,3]thiazolo-[3,2-a]pyrimidin-4-one, whereas in the reaction with sodium methoxide linearly fused pyrazolo[3,4-d][1,3]-thiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidin-4-one was formed. Linearly fused pyrazolo[3′,4′:4,5]pyrimido[2,1-b][1,3]thiazole derivatives were also obtained by reaction of 1-aryl-6-(3-phenylprop-2-en-1-ylsulfanyl)pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-4(5H)-ones with sulfuric acid.     

Fused pyrimidine systems: XIII. Synthesis and some transformations of 1,3-thiazolo(thiazino)-fused pyrido[3,4-d]pyrimidines

2-[Allyl(propargyl)sulfanyl]pyrido[3,4-d]pyrimidin-4-ones at heating in polyphosphoric acid undergo an intramolecular cyclization with the formation of pyrido[4,3-e]thiazolo-[3,2-a]pyrimidin-5-ones of angular structure. Under similar conditions the cyclization of 2-(cinnamylsulfanyl)pyrido[3,4-d]-pyrimidin-4-one results in a linear pyrido[3′,4′:4,5]pyrimido-[2,1-b][1,3]thiazin-6-one. The iodocyclization of the same substrates affords the corresponding 9-(iodomethyl)(iodomethylidene)pyrido[4,3-e][1,3]thiazolo-[3,2-a]pyrimidin-5-ones and 3-iodopyrido[3′,4′:4,5]pyrimido[2,1-b][1,3]thiazin-6-one of angular structure. 9-(Iodomethyl)-8,9-dihydro-5H-pyrido[4,3-e][1,3]thiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidin-5-one treated with sodium azide gave 9-(azidomethyl) derivative whose cyclization with substituted alkynes in the presence of copper compounds provided pyrido [4,3-e][1,3]thiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidinylmethyltriazoles.     

Cyclisation of 2-(2-aminophenyl)quinazolin-4(3H)-one reexamined: formation of isomeric angular fused quinazolinoquinazolinones and their spectroscopic identification

Cyclisation of 2-(2-aminophenyl)quinazolin-4(3H)-ones on to N₃ and on to N₁ leading to 6-alkyl-(8H)-quinazolino[4,3-b]quinazolin-8-one and 6-alkyl-(13H)-quinazolino[3,4-a]quinazolin-13-one, respectively was described for the first time. The differences in the IR and carbon NMR data of these isomeric fused quinazolinoquinazolinones afford a useful method for distinguishing between the two series.     

Syntheses of 4-(benzo[b]furan-2 or 3-yl)- and 4-(benzo[b]-thiophen-3-yl)piperidines with 5-HT2 antagonist activity

The syntheses of 4-(benzo[b]furan-3-yl)piperidines, 4-(benzo[b]furan-2-yl)piperidines and 4-(benzo[b]thiophen-3-yl)piperidines with 5-HT₂ antagonist activity are described. Reaction of 1-acetyl-4-(2,4-difluorobenzo-yl)piperidine 2 with methyl glycolate gave methyl 6-fluoro-3-(1-acetylpiperidin-4-yl)benzo[b]furan-2-carboxylate 3 , which was converted to 2-[2-[4-(benzo[b]furan-3-yi)piperidin-1-yl]ethyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-1,2,4-triazolo-[4,3-a]pyridin-3(2H)-one hydrochloride 9 . Analogous benzo[b]furans 17a-d and benzo[b]thiophenes 10a,b and 18a were prepared by a similar method. Cyclization of 4-fluoro-2-(4-pyridinylmethoxy)acetophenones 20a,b afforded 4-(benzo[b]furan-2-yl)pyridines 21a,b , which were converted to 2-[2-[4-(benzo[b]furan-2-yl)-piperidin-1-yl]ethyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-a]pyridin-3(2H)-one hydrochlorides 24a,b. Among them, benzo[b]furans 9 and 17a,d and benzo[b]thiophenes 10 and 18a showed potent 5-HT₂ antagonist activity in vitro.

The reaction of the isoindole–isoindoline isomers of the thieno[3′,2′:5,6]pyrimido[2,1-a]isoindol-6(10H)-one with aldehydes gives new benzylidene thieno[3′,2′:5,6]pyrimido[2,1-a]isoindol-6(10H)-one derivatives. The structures were assessed with NMR, UV spectroscopy and mass spectra.     

Efficient syntheses of novel indeno[1,2-b]chromenone derivatives via hetero-Diels-Alder reactions of 2-(arylmethylene)-1H-indene-1,3(2H)-diones with enaminones

Efficient syntheses of novel 10-aryl-5a-(arylamino)-9-hydroxy-5a,6,7,8-tetrahydroindeno[1,2-b]chromen-11(10H)-one derivatives has been reported by [4+2] cycloaddition reactions of electron-deficient 2-(arylmethylene)-1H-indene-1,3(2H)-dione heterodienes with electron-rich enaminones in [bmim]BF₄ at 80?°C and in acetic acid at 80?°C. Dimedone/cyclohexane-1,3-dione enaminones have been used as dienophiles in Inverse Electron Demand hetero-Diels-Alder reactions. The products were obtained in high yields by a simple work up.     

Synthesis of 3- and 4-(β-D-ribofuranosyl)-s-triazolo[2,3-a] pyrimid-7-one,isomers of inosine containing a bridgehead nitrogen atom

The first synthesis of a purine nucleoside analog containing a bridgehead nitrogen atom is here reported. The direct glycosylation of the trimethylsilyl derivative of s-triazolo[2,3-a] pyrimid-7-one has been shown to give 3-(β-D-ribofuranosyl)-s-triazolo[2,3-a]pyrimid-7-one (V) and 4-(β-D-ribof'uranosyl)-s-lriazolo[2,3-α]pyrimid-7-one (VII). The nueleoside V may he considered a close analog of inosine in which the nitrogen N₁ and C₅ of inosine have been interchanged. Bro-minalion of the tri-O-acelyl derivative IV gave, after deblocking, 6-bromo-3-(β-D-ribofurnaosyl)-s-triazolo[2,3-a] pyrimid-7-one (IX). Structural assignments of the nucleosides were made on the basis of comparison of the ultraviolet absorption spectral characteristics with 3-methyl-s-triazolo-[2,3-a]pyrimid-7-one (XI) and 4-methyl-s-lriazolo[2,3-a Jpyrimid-7-one (XII) prepared by a standard procedure from 7-methoxy-s-triazolo(2,3-a] pyrimidine (X).     

Synthetic potential of 2-oxobenzo[h]chromene for the construction of polycyclic azaheteroaromatics with a steroid-like skeleton

An efficient and concise synthesis of 17-amino-6,15-dihydro-7H-11-oxa-15,16-diazacyclopenta[a]phenanthren-12-ones has been delineated from the reaction of 4-methylsulfanyl/sec-amino-2-oxo-5,6-dihydro-2H-benzo[h]chromene-3-carbonitriles and hydrazine hydrate (98%) at room temperature. Reaction at reflux produced different products, characterized as 1-amino-3b,4,5,11-tetrahydro-3H-2,3,10,11-tetraazanaphtho[2,1-e]azulen-12-ones in moderate yields.     

Novel annulated products from aminonaphthyridinones

2-(4-Methoxyphenyl)-1-oxo-1,2-dihydro-1,6-naphthyridine-4-carboxamide (4c) underwent Hofmann rearrangement with iodobenzene diacetate in methanol to give the corresponding 4-amino compound (6c). This, when reacted with 2,4-pentanedione and then hot phosphoryl chloride (attempted Combes synthesis) gave a new heterocyclic system, 6-(4-methoxyphenyl)-2-methylpyrido[3,2-c]pyrrolo[2,3-e]azocin-7(6H)-one (9c). This showed typical pyrrole-type reactivity at the 3-position. Alternatively, an attempt to convert the 4-NH₂ in 6c to 4-OH by diazotization gave, instead, a [1,2,3]triazolo[1,5-a]pyridine-3-carboxaldehyde (16c). The same series of reactions on a benzo analog, 2-methyl-1-oxo-1,2-dihydrobenzo[b][1,6]naphthyridine-4-carboxamide (4a), gave the same results.     

Near-infrared solid-state fluorescent naphthooxazine dyes attached with bulky dibutylamino and perfluoroalkenyloxy groups at 6- and 9-positions

No solid-state fluorescence is observed for 9-(diethylamino)benzo[a]phenoxazin-5-one (Nile Red). However, 9-dibutylamino-6-{perfluoro[4-methyl-3-(1-methylethyl)-2-penten]-2-oxy}benzo[a]phenoxazin-5-one showed fluorescence maximum at 717 nm in solid state with fluorescence quantum yield 0.024. X-ray crystallographic analysis suggests that prevention of network π−π interactions by the bulky fluorine-containing and dibutylamino groups is essential to show solid-state fluorescence.     

Facile synthesis of 6,12b-diaza-dibenzo[a,h]azulen-7-ones and benzo[f]pyrrolo[1,2-a][1,4]diazepin-4-ones via CuI/l-proline catalyzed intramolecular N-arylation

Facile intramolecular N-arylation catalyzed by CuI/l-proline has been developed to prepare 6,12b-diaza-dibenzo[a,h]azulen-7-ones and benzo[f]pyrrolo[1,2-a][1,4]diazepin-4-ones in good to excellent yields.     

Solvent-controlled dehydration and diastereoselective formation of indenone-fused thiazolo[3,2-a]pyridines via a one-pot four-component reaction

A solvent-controlled four-component reaction has been described for the preparation of either hydroxy-tetrahydro-thiaza-cyclopenta[c]fluoren-6-one or dihydro-thiaza-cyclopenta[c]fluoren-6-one from nitroketene dithioacetals, cysteamine hydrochloride, 1,3-indandione and aromatic aldehydes starting materials by changing solvent systems. These reactions proceed under catalyst-free conditions affording a range of two types of skeletally distinct thiazolo[3,2-a]pyridines-based heterocycles. Hydroxy-tetrahydro-thiaza-cyclopenta[c]fluoren-6-one was obtained in H₂O/EtOH (3:1, v/v) in high yield and diastereoselectivity but in contrast dihydro-thiaza-cyclopenta[c]fluoren-6-one was synthesised in EtOH in moderate to good yields and in the longer reaction time. The structural diversities have been confirmed spectroscopically, by IR ¹H and ¹³C NMR, and EI-MS spectra, which agree with the proposed structures.     

Synthesis of nitrogen-containing heterocycles on the basis of 3-(4-acetylphenyl)-1-methylquinolin-2(1<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>)-one

The Meerwein reaction of 1-methylquinolin-2(1H)-one with 4-acetylbenzenediazonium chloride gave 3-(4-acetylphenyl)-1-methylquinolin-2(1H)-one which was brominated to 3-[4-(2-bromoacetyl)phenyl]-1-methylquinolin-2(1H)-one. The latter reacted with pyridine, 4-methylpyridine, quinoline, benzo[f]quinoline, and triphenylphosphine to afford the corresponding quaternary salts, and its reactions with thioacetamide, thiourea, 2-aminopyridine, and 2-aminopyrimidine led to the corresponding thiazole, imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine, and imidazo[1,2-a]pyrimidine derivatives containing a 2-oxoquinoline fragment. 3-(4-{2-[2-(Arylmethylidene)-hydrazinyl]-1,3-thiazol-4-yl}phenyl)-1-methylquinolin-2(1H)-ones were obtained by condensation of 3-[4-(2-bromoacetyl)phenyl]-1-methylquinolin-2(1H)-one with thiosemicarbazide and aromatic aldehydes.
