First synthesis of 2-[alkylamino(diethoxyphosphoryl)methyl]acrylic ethyl esters

The ethyl α-bromomethyl-β-(diethoxyphosphoryl)acrylic acid ester 9 has been prepared by addition of bromine to allylphosphonate 7 then dehydrobromination with DBU in acetonitrile. Reaction of allylic bromide 9 with primary amines in a bimolecular S_N2′-type mecanism in methanol at low temperature, gives rise to the 2-[alkylamino(diethoxyphosphoryl)methyl]acrylic acid ethyl esters 6.     

Synthesis and antibacterial activity of N-[2-(2-naphthyl)ethyl]piperazinyl quinolones

A series of N-[2-(2-naphthyl)ethyl]piperazinyl quinolones containing a carbonyl related functional groups (oxo- or oxyimino-) on the ethyl spacer was synthesized and evaluated for antibacterial activity. The synthesis of N-[2-(2-naphthyl)ethyl]piperazinyl quinolones was achieved through the versatile and efficient synthetic route that involved reaction of piperazinyl quinolones with appropriate α-bromoketone or α-bromooxime derivatives. The structures of new compounds were confirmed by elemental analysis, IR and NMR spectra. Antibacterial data indicated that some of the new N-[2-(2-naphthyl)ethyl]piperazinyl quinolones showed good antibacterial activity and modification of the position 8 and N-1 substituent on quinolone ring, and ethyl spacer functionality produced significant changes in activity against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria.     

Synthesis of 3-(4-heteroaryl-phenyl)-8-oxabicyclo[3.2.1]octane-2-carboxylic acid methyl esters

Cross coupling protocols were applied for the synthesis of 3-(4-heteroaryl-phenyl)-8-oxabicyclo[3.2.1]oct-2-ene-2-carboxylic acid methyl esters. Stille conditions produced the corresponding products in reasonable yields. Samarium iodide reduction of the resulting coupling products produced the 2β-carbomethoxy-3α-aryl-8-oxabicyclo[3.2.1]octane diastereoisomers as the major, and the 2β-carbomethoxy-3β-aryl-8-oxabicyclo[3.2.1]octane diastereoisomer as the minor products. Both diastereomers manifested inhibition of the dopamine (DAT) and serotonin (SERT) transporters, with some selectivity for SERT inhibition.

Syntheses of spiro[cyclopropane-1,3′-oxindole]-2-carboxylic acid and cyclopropa[c]quinoline-7b-carboxylic acid and their derivatives

The synthesis of spiro[cyclopropane-1,3′-oxindole]-2-carboxylic acid, including novel 3-(2- and 3-pyridyl)-substituted analogues and the novel cyclopropa[c]quinoline-7b-carboxylic acid and their ester and amide derivatives is described. These syntheses involve diastereoselective cyclopropanation reactions of methyl 2-(2-nitrophenyl)acrylate and (3E)-(pyridin-2-ylmethylene)- and (3E)-(pyridin-3-ylmethylene)-1,3-dihydro-2H-indol-2-one with ethyl (dimethyl sulfuranylidene) acetate (EDSA). The synthesis of methyl cyclopropa[c]quinoline-7b-carboxylate involves a regioselective reductive cyclization of a nitro-diester precursor. The relative stereochemistry of key compounds has been determined by single-crystal X-ray structural analysis.

A regioselective coupling of ethyl 2-(bromomethyl)-3-cyanoacrylate and primary amines is described to give ethyl 2-[(alkylamino)(cyano)methyl] acrylates in good yields. Whereas the conversion of allyl bromide in the presence of TEAF leads to the first synthesis of ethyl 3-cyano-2-(hydroxymethyl) acrylate.     

Synthesis of N-[5-alkoxy-2(5H)-furanonyl] amino acid propargyl esters

Using K₂CO₃ as a base and CH₃CN as solvent, different kinds of N-[5-alkoxy-2(5H)-furanonyl] amino acids were reacted with propargyl bromide via substitution reaction at 40?°C to give 16 N-[5-alkoxy-2(5H)-furanonyl] amino acid propargyl esters with the yields of 44?C85% (mostly over 74%). The structures of all newly synthesized compounds were elucidated and confirmed by FTIR, UV, ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, MS, and elemental analysis. The rapid, efficient, and brief synthesis of the series propargyl esters with multiple bioactive units, will afford not only a basis for the activity test of potential drug molecules, but also an important synthetic strategy for 2(5H)-furanone derivatives with polyfunctional groups.     

Synthesis of [2-(vinyloxy)ethyl]uracil and [2-(allyloxy)ethyl]uracil

A synthesis is reported for N¹-mono- and N¹,N³-disubstituted uracil derivatives containing a terminal carbon-carbon double bond in the side-chain. Alkylation of vinyl 2-chloroethyl ether by uracil potassium salts leads to a mixture of 1-[2-(vinyloxy)ethyl] and 1,3-di[2-(vinyloxy)ethyl] derivatives while treatment of 2,4-bis(trimethylsilyloxy)pyrimidines by vinyl 2-chloroethyl ether leads exclusively to N¹-monosubstituted products. Alkylation of cytosine by this chloroether gave 1-[2-(vinyloxy)ethyl]cytosine. The synthesis of 1-[2-(allyloxy)ethyl]uracil derivatives was carried out by treatment of uracil potassium salts by 1-(allyloxy)-2-(p-toluenesulfonyloxy)ethane.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 3, pp. 393–397, March, 1993.     

A convenient route to N-[2-(Fmoc)aminoethyl]glycine esters and PNA oligomerization using a Bis-N-Boc nucleobase protecting group strategy

A simple and practical synthesis of the benzyl, allyl, and 4-nitrobenzyl esters of N-[2-(Fmoc)aminoethyl]glycine is described starting from the known N-(2-aminoethyl)glycine. These esters are stored as stable hydrochloride salts and were used in the synthesis of peptide nucleic acid monomers possessing bis-N-Boc-protected nucleobase moieties on the exocyclic amino groups of ethyl cytosin-1-ylacetate, ethyl adenin-9-ylacetate and ethyl (O(6)-benzylguanin-9-yl)acetate. Upon ester hydrolysis, the corresponding nucleobase acetic acids were coupled to N-[2-(Fmoc)aminoethyl]glycine benzyl ester or to N-[2-(Fmoc)aminoethyl]glycine allyl ester in order to retain the O(6) benzyl ether protecting group of guanine. The Fmoc/bis-N-Boc-protected monomers were successfully used in the Fmoc-mediated solid-phase peptide synthesis of mixed sequence 10-mer PNA oligomers and are shown to be a viable alternative to the currently most widely used Fmoc/Bhoc-protected peptide nucleic acid monomers.     

A tandem mass spectrometric investigation of N-(3-ferrocenyl-2-naphthoyl) dipeptide ethyl esters and N-(6-ferrocenyl-2-naphthoyl) dipeptide ethyl esters

N‐(3‐Ferrocenyl‐2‐naphthoyl) dipeptide ethyl esters 1–4 and N‐(6‐ferrocenyl‐2‐naphthoyl) dipeptide ethyl esters 5–8 were prepared by coupling either 3‐ferrocenylnaphthalene‐2‐carboxylic acid or 6‐ferrocenylnaphthalene‐2‐carboxylic acid to the dipeptide ethyl esters GlyGly(OEt) (1, 5), AlaGly(OEt) (2, 6), GlyPhe(OEt) (3, 7) and GlyLeu(OEt) (4, 8), using the standard N‐(3‐dimethylaminopropyl)‐N'‐ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride, 1‐hydroxybenzotriazole protocol. Electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI‐MS) and laser desorption ionization mass spectrometry (LDI‐MS) were employed in conjunction with tandem mass spectrometry in the analysis of N‐(3‐ferrocenyl‐2‐naphthoyl) dipeptide ethyl esters 1–4 and N‐(6‐ferrocenyl‐2‐naphthoyl) dipeptide ethyl esters 5–8. Radical cations, [M]^+? and [M + H]⁺ species were both observed in the mass spectra. Intense sodium [M + Na]⁺ and potassium [M + K]⁺ adducts were also present. An important diagnostic ion at m/z [M–65]⁺ was observed in both the MS and MS/MS spectra of the N‐(3‐ferrocenyl‐2‐naphthoyl) dipeptide derivatives. Sequence‐specific ions were generally not observed in the MS/MS spectra of the N‐(3‐ferrocenyl‐2‐naphthoyl) series due to formation of the diagnostic [M–65]⁺ ion. Sequence‐specific ions were observed in the MS/MS spectra of the N‐(6‐ferrocenyl‐2‐naphthoyl) dipeptide esters with charge retention on the derivatized N‐terminal of the dipeptide. Both series of compounds could be successfully analyzed by MALDI without the use of a matrix (LDI). Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Efficient synthesis of 2,6-disubstituted-5-hydroxy-3-oxo-2,3-dihydro-pyridazine-4-carboxylic acid ethyl esters

A general procedure is described for the preparation of 6-substituted-5-hydroxy-3-oxo-2,3-dihydro-pyridazine-4-carboxylic acid ethyl esters (6-substituted-5-hydroxy-3(2H)-pyridazinone-4-carboxylic acid ethyl esters). These compounds are shown to undergo selective alkylation at the 2-position in moderate to good yields (19-77%) to afford 2,6-disubstituted-5-hydroxy-3-oxo-2,3-dihydro-pyridazine-4-carboxylic acid ethyl esters (2,6-disubstituted-5-hydroxy-3(2H)-pyridazinone-4-carboxylic acid ethyl esters).     

Thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidines. I. A new method for the preparation of esters and amides of thieno[2,3-d] pyrimidine-6-carboxylic acids

A novel method for the preparation of esters and amides of thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidine-6-carb-oxylic acids was described. A typical example was the direct formation of ethyl 5-amino-2-methylthiothieno[2,3-d]pyrimidine-6-earboxylate(IIIa) from 4-chloro-2-methylthio-5-pyrimidine-carbonitrile (Ia) and ethyl mercaptoacetate in refluxing ethanol containing sodium carbonate. Displacement of the methylthio group in IIIa by various amines gave the corresponding amino derivatives. The reactions of IIIa and related compounds with acetylating agents such as acetic anhydride or chloroacetyl chloride gave various products. Treatment of 5-carbethoxy-4-chloro-2-phenylpyrimidine(IV) with methyl mercaptoacetate afforded the dechloro intermediate diester Va, which cyclized on reaction with sodium ethoxide to form methyl 5-hydroxy-2-phenylthieno-[2,3-d]pyrimidine-6-carboxylate (Vla). The synthesis was expanded to include the preparation of various new 2,4,5-trisubstituted thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidine-6-carboxylic acid esters and amides (Charts I-V).     

Preparation of methano[1,3]oxazolo[3,2-a]quinolin-2-ones from 2-(pent-3-en-2-yl)anilines

Acid-catalyzed Claisen aromatic rearrangement of ethyl N-(pent-3-en-2-yl)-N-phenylglycinate leads to the formation of ethyl N-[2-(pent-3-en-2-yl)phenyl]glycinate. The reaction of sodium salt of N-acetyl-2-(pent-3-en-2-yl)-4-methylaniline with methyl bromoacetate afforded ethyl N-acetyl-N-[4-methyl-2-(pent-3-en-2-yl)phenyl]glycinate. The hydrolysis of synthesized esters, the conversion of the obtained acids by treating with ethyl chloroformate into munchnones, and the subsequent [3+2]-cycloaddition provided methoxazoloquinoline structures.     

2-Benzoyl-2-ethoxycarbonylvinyl-1 and 2-benzoylamino-2-methoxy-carbonylvinyl-1 as N-protecting groups in peptide synthesis. Their application in the synthesis of dehydropeptide derivatives containing N-terminal 3-heteroarylamino-2,3-dehydroalanine

Ethyl 2-benzoyl-3-dimethylaminopropenoate ( 6 ) and methyl 2-benzoylamino-3-dimethylaminopropenoate ( 46 ) were used as reagents for the protection of the amino group with 2-benzoyl-2-ethoxycarbonylvinyl-1 and 2-benzoylamino-2-methoxycarbonylvinyl groups in the peptide synthesis. Reactions of ethyl 2-benzoyl-3-dimethylaminopropenoate (6) with α-amino acids gave N-(2-benzoyl-2-ethoxycarbonylvinyl-1)-α-amino acids 13–19. These were coupled with various amino acid esters to form N-(2-benzoyl-2-ethoxycar-bonylvinyl-1)-protected dipeptide esters 20–31. The removal of 2-benzoyl-2-ethoxycarbonylvinyl-1 group, which was achieved by hydrazine monohydrochloride or hydroxylamine hydrochloride, afforded hydrochlo-rides of dipeptide esters 32–41 in high yields. Similarly, the substitution of the dimethylamino group in methyl 2-benzoylamino-3-dimethylaminopropenoate ( 46 ) by glycine gave N-(2-benzoylamino-2-methoxycar-bonylvinyl-1)glycine ( 47 ), which was coupled with glycine ethyl ester to give N-[N-(2-benzoylamino-2-methoxycarbonylvinyl-1)glycyl]glycine ethyl ester ( 48 ). Treatment of 48 with 2-arnino-4,6-dirnethylpyrimi-dine afforded N-[glycyl]glycine ethyl ester hydrochloride (34) in high yield. Amino acid esters and dipeptide esters were employed in the preparation of tri- 58-70, tetra- 71–82, and pentapeptide esters 83–85 containing N-terminal 3-heteroarylamino-2,3-dehydroalanine. 2-Chloro-4,6-dimethoxy-1,3,5-triazine was employed as a coupling reagent for the preparation of peptides 58–85.     

Ecofriendly synthesis and biological evaluation of 4-(4-nitro-phenyl)-2-phenyl-1,4-dihydro-benzo[4,5]imidazo[1,2-a]pyrimidine-3-carboxylic acid ethyl ester derivatives as an antitubercular agents

An ecofriendly route has been investigated for the synthesis of 4-(4-nitro-phenyl)-2-phenyl-1,4-dihydro-benzo[4,5]imidazo[1,2-a]pyrimidine-3-carboxylic acid ethyl ester derivatives by one-pot, three-component condensation of ethyl benzoylacetate, aromatic aldehydes, and 2-amino benzimidazole using 260?mol% of citric acid as reaction mediator. Citric acid is an inexpensive, nontoxic, and green medium with smoothly activates the rate of reaction. The synthesized compounds were assessed for in vitro antimycobacterial activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis H₃₇RV strain using the microplate alamar blue assay (MABA). The results indicate that among all the synthesized compound series, P-4 and P-9 compounds illustrate effective activity with a minimum inhibitory concentration of 25?µg/ml.

The N-[2-(F-alkyl)ethyl] amines were condensed with acrylic acid to afford the 3-[N-[2-(F-alkyl)ethyl] N-alkylamino] propanoic acids which are double-chain intermediates. To introduce a third chain, these intermediates and n-alkyl amines or n-2-(F-alkyl)ethyl amines were reacted according to three different methods to form triple-chain compounds which are quaternized by reagents such methyl iodide, ethyl bromoacetate and 1,3-propane sultone to form cationic and amphoteric triple-chain perfluoroalkylated surfactants.     

Synthesis of pyrrolo[1,2-b]cinnolines

The synthesis of the pyrrolo[1,2-b]cinnoline analogs 2 and 4–13 is described. The key step of this synthesis involves an intramolecular aromatic halide displacement on [2-(2-halobenzoyl)pyrrol-1-yl]carbamic acid esters. Several reactions of these cinnoline analogs with electrophilic reagents have been investigated.     

Novel synthesis of the pyrrolo[2,1-c][1,4]benzodiazocine ring system via a Dieckmann condensation

A novel four-step synthesis to the pyrrolo[2,1-c][1,4]benzodiazocine ring system is described. 1H-Pyrrole-2-carbaldehyde was alkylated with ethyl or methyl bromoacetate and the resulting ethyl or methyl (2-formyl-1H-pyrrol-1-yl)acetates oxidised with potassium permanganate to the corresponding 1-[(2-ethoxy or methoxy)-2-oxoethyl]-1H-pyrrole-2-carboxylic acids. The latter was converted into their acid chlorides by reaction with thionyl chloride and without isolation transformed into the respective methyl 2-({[1-(2-ethoxy or methoxy-2-oxoethyl)-1H-pyrrol-2-yl]carbonyl}amino)benzoates by reaction with methyl anthranilate. Dieckmann condensation of methyl 2-({[1-(2-methoxy-2-oxoethyl)-1H-pyrrol-2-yl]carbonyl}amino)benzoate provided the pyrrolo[2,1-c][1,4]benzodiazocine.
