Synthese und Reaktionen von 2-Amino-1-aryl-5-oxo-Δ2-pyrrolin-3-carbonitrilen

Summary The reaction of malononitrile with -chloro acetanilides1 in presence of potassium carbonate yields the 1-aryl-5-oxo-²-pyrrolin-3-carbonitriles2, in presence of triethylamine the 4,6-diamino-1-aryl-2-oxo-2,3-dihydropyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridin-5-carbonitriles3 are formed. From 2-chloroacetylamino-benzencarbonitrile and malononitrile the 5-amino-1-oxo-1,2-dihydropyrrolo[1,2-a]chinazolin-3-carbonitrile (4) arise. Analogously from the 2-chloroacetylamino-thiophen-3-carbonitries5 the 7,8-dihydro-thieno[3,2-e]pyrrolo[1,2-a]pyrimidine derivatives6 are obtainable. Hydrolysis of2 a by treatment with hydroxide or acid, respectively, yields the 1,1,2-ethanetricarboxylic acid and derivatives9 a,b. Phenyldiazonium salt reacts with2 to form the triazene 7 only.

     

Synthesen von 4-Amino-thieno[2,3—b]pyridinen

The Cyclization of 2-(1,1-dicyanovinylamino)-thiophenes2 by treatment with AlCl₃ yield 4-amino-5-cyano-thieno[2,3-b]pyridines3. 2-(1-acylvinyl-amino)-3-cyano-thiophenes7, obtainable from 2-amino-3-cyano-thiophenes and -diketones, react in the presence of AlCl₃ to form 4-acylamino-thieno[2,3-b] pyridines8. This reaction is connected with the transfer of the acyl group from C- to the N-atom. 4-Amino-5-cyano-thieno[2,3-b]pyridones-(6)11 are synthesized from 2-amino-3-cyano-thiophenes and ethyl cyano acetate in the presence of sodium ethoxide.

     

Ein Beitrag zur Chemie des 2,3-Dihydro-3-oxo-benzo[b]thiophen-1,1-dioxids Synthesen mit Nitrilen, 86. Mitt.

Summary 2,3-Dihydro-3-oxo-benzo[b]thiophen-1,1-dioxide (1) reacts as CH-acidic component with amidines of orthoesters and anilines resp. to give the anilinomethylene derivates3, 4, and5. With triethyl orthoformiate the hydroxymethylene-compound7 is obtained. Anilino- and phenylhydrazino derivates8 and9 prove the carbonyl activity of1, azo-coupling leads to10, whereas treatment of1 with sulfur and malononitrile yields the benzo[b]thieno[2,3-d]thiophenes11. Introduction of substituents with active NH-functions in position 2 of the dicyanomethylene-product2, such as azocoupling, reaction with phenyl isocyanate and formation of enamines, leads to ring closure reactions between a nitrile and the NH-group. Thereby the phenyl-benzo[4,5]thieno[2,3-c]pyridazines12, the phenyl-1H-benzo[4,5]thieno[2,3-c]pyridines13 and the phenylamino-benzo[4,5]thieno[2,3-c]pyridines14 are obtained.¹³C and¹⁵N-NMR spectroscopy was used as proof of the ring closure reactions.

The structures of all compounds were established by NMR and mass spectra.     

p-tert-Butyldihomooxacalix[4]arene/p-tert-Butylcalix[4]arene: Transition and Heavy Metal Cation Extraction and Transport Studies by Ketone and Ester Derivatives

The binding properties of two phenylketones (2a and 3a) and two ethylesters (2b and {3b) derived from p-tert-butyldihomooxacalix[4]arene or from p-tert-butylcalix[4]arene, in the cone conformation, towards transition (Ag⁺, Ni²⁺, Cu²⁺, Co²⁺, Zn²⁺, Fe²⁺ and Mn²⁺) and heavy (Cd²⁺, Hg²⁺ and Pb²⁺) metal cations have been determined by extraction studies with metal picrates and liquid membrane transport experiments with the same salts. The affinity of these ligands for Ag⁺ has also been investigated by ¹H NMR spectroscopy. Both ketones are better extractants than the esters, and show a strong preference for Ag⁺, while Cu²⁺ is the most extracted cation with the esters. ¹H NMR titrations with AgSO₃CF₃ indicate 1 : 1 complexes for all ligands, those with ketones are more stable, on the NMR time scale, than those with esters. Both esters are good carriers for Ag⁺, and 2b exhibits the highest transport rate (4.7 mol h^-1) found until now with dihomooxacalix[4]arene derivatives.     

Functionalization of benzo[b][1,6]naphthyridine derivatives

Two routes to consecutive functionalization of 3-chloro-4-cyanobenzo[b][1,6]naphthyridine (1a) at positions 3 and 10 were developed. Oxidation of compound 1a with m-chloroperbenzoic acid in acetone leads to 3-chloro-4-cyano-10-oxobenzo[b][1,6]naphthyridine, while in acetic acid, the reaction gives 3-chloro-4-cyano-10-(3-chlorobenzoyloxy)-5-hydroxy-5,10-dihydrobenzo[b][1,6]naphthyridine. The reactions of 1a with some C-nucleophiles give -adducts at position 10. The reactions of N,N-dimethylamide acetals with chloride 1a leads to 4-cyano-3-dimethylaminobenzo[b][1,6]naphthyridine.     

Heterocyclization of 2-chloro-1-cyano-1-diethoxyphosphoryl-2-trifluoromethylethylene and 2-chloro-2-chlorodifluoromethyl-1-cyano-1-diethoxyphosphorylethylene

Alkenes 2a, b can serve as precursors of aminopyrazoles, pyrimidines, pyrido[1,2-a]pyrimidines, and pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidines modified with the fluoroalkyl and diethoxyphosphoryl groups. Intermediates of some heterocyclization reactions were detected by NMR spectroscopy. The structures of the compounds were confirmed by X ray diffraction analysis.Published in Russian in Izvestiya Akademii Nauk. Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 9, pp. 1977–1986, September, 2004.     

2-[3-(Trifluoromethyl)phenyl]furo[3,2-b]pyrroles: synthesis and reactions

The synthesis and reactions of methyl 2-[3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-4H-furo[3,2-b]pyrrole-5-carboxylate (1a) are described. Upon reaction with methyl iodide, benzyl chloride, or acetic anhydride, this compound gave N-substituted products 1b-d. By hydrolysis of compounds 1a-c, the corresponding acids 2a-c were formed, or by reaction with hydrazine-hydrate, the corresponding carbohydrazides 3a-c were formed. By heating 2-[3-(trifluoromethyl)phenly]-4H-furo[3,2-b]pyrrole-5-carboxylic acid (2a) in acetic anhydride, 4-acetyl-2-[3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]furo[3,2-b]pyrrole (4) was formed. By hydrolysis of 4, 2-[3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-4H-furo[3,2-b]pyrrole (5a) was formed, and reactions with methyl iodide or benzyl chloride gave N-substituted products 5b-c. The reaction of 4 with dimethyl butynedioate gave substituted benzo[b]furan 6. Compound 3a reacted with triethyl orthoesters giving 7a-c, which afforded with phosphorus (V) sulphide the corresponding thiones 8a-c. The thiones 8a-c reacted with hydrazine hydrate to form hydrazine derivatives 9a-c. The reaction of triethyl orthoformiate with compounds 9a-c led to furo[2′,3′: 4,5]pyrrolo[1,2-d][1,2,4]triazolo[3,4-f][1,2,4]triazines 10a-c. Hydrazones 11a-c were formed from 3a-c and 5-[3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]furan-2-carboxaldehyde. The effect of microwave irradiation on some condensation reactions was compared with “classical” conditions. The results showed that microwave irradiation shortens the reaction time while affording comparable yields.     

Synthesis of New 4,5-Dihydro-1-methyl-[1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]quinolin-7-amine–Derived Ureas and Their Anticancer Activity

A new series of 1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-a]-quinoline derivatives were designed and synthesized to meet the structural requirements essential for anticancer activity. N-1-(5-Methylisoxazol-4-yl/4-fluoro-2,3-dihydro-1H-inden-1-yl/aryl)-N’-3-(4,5-dihydro-1-methyl-[1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]quinolin-7-yl) urea derivatives were accomplished in good yields by the reaction of 4,5-dihydro-1-methyl-[1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]quinolin-7-amine with 3-(3-chloro-5-fluoro-2-methoxyphenyl)-5-methyl-isoxazole-4-carboxylic acid, 4-fluoro-2,3-dihydro-1H-indene-1-carboxylic acid, and various simple aromatic carboxylic acids in the presence of diphenyl phosphoryl azide (DPPA). All the newly synthesized title compounds were characterized by elemental and spectral data. Furthermore, anticancer activity was screened for the title compounds (12a–j) in vitro against human neuroblastoma cell lines (SK N SH) and human colon carcinoma cell lines (COLO 205) by using the MTT cell viability method. A few of them (12a and 12b) possess significant cytotoxicity, and some other compounds 12d-f and 12j displayed moderate cytotoxicity against both cell lines.     

Preparation and stereochemical characterization of some N-acyl-[1]benzopyrano[3,4-c]pyrazole derivatives from rotenoids

Summary Several new N-acyl derivatives of 1-(4-hydroxy-2,3-dihydrobenzofuran-5-yl)-7,8-di methoxy-1,9 b,2,3,3 a,4-hexahydro-[1]benzopyrano[3,4-c]pyrazole-1-ene have been prepared by appropriate chemical transformation of isohydrazones of rotenone and amorphigenin. A study of their¹H- and¹³C-NMR spectra confirmed the presence of the twocis 3a, 9b, 2 and 3a, 9b, 2 diastereomers in the parent isohydrazones and revealed the strong predominance of the conformers withendo orientation of the 3-NAc group. The conformations due to rotation about the 1,5-bond between rings C and D in the 4-OH and 4-O-substituted compounds were also determined by taking into account the anisotropic effect of aromatic rings A and D, and the hydrogen bond between 4-OH and the 2-N atom, as well as by inspecting the Dreiding models.

Summary 5-Substituted 3,4-dihydro-pyrrolo[1,2-c]thiazole-6,7-dicarboxylic acid esters3 are obtained from 2-substituted-3-acyl-1,3-thiazolidine-4-carboxylic acids,1 in [3+2]-cycloaddition reactions via mesoionic oxazolone (münchnone) intermediates. The chirality at C-4 of the starting carboxylic acids1 is eliminated in the products3, and the chirality at C-3 (C-2 in the starting carboxylic acids1) can thus be determined through chiroptical measurements. Several representatives of the ring system3 have been characterised through¹H- and CD-spectra and the molecular structure of (3S)-3da has been determined by X-ray crystallography.
