FUSED PHOSPHONO SUBSTITUTED O-, AND N-HETEROCYCLES via CONDENSATIVE CYCLISATION REACTIONS OF α-PHOSPHONYL CARBANIONS WITH 4-THIAZOLIDINONES

Phosphono substituted-thiazolones 5a, b together with fused phosphono-pyran-5-ones 9a, b and the diolefins 8a–d were regioselectively prepared in reasonable yields from the reactions of 5-arylidene-4-thiazolidinones 1a, b with phosphonoacetates 2a, b. Conversely, Michael addition products 11a, b (～30%) along with the phosphono substituted-thiazole derivatives 12a, b (～33%) were obtained from treating 1a, b with cyanomethylenephosphonates (2c). The reactions of 1a, b with vinylphosphonate 2d proceeded with phase-transfer catalysis, yielding the corresponding 2-thioalkyl-derivatives 14a, b and phosphonates 13a, b.     

Synthesis and physiochemical studies on binuclear Cu(II) complexes derived from 2,6-[(N-phenylpiperazin-1-yl)methyl]-4-substituted phenols

Preparation of the ligands HL¹ = 2,6-[(N-phenylpiperazin-1-yl)methyl]-p-ethylphenol; HL² = 2,6-[(N-phenylpiperazin-1-yl)methyl]-p-methoxyphenol and HL³ = 2,6-[(N-phenylpiperazin-1-yl)methyl]-p-nitrophenol are described together with their Cu(II) complexes with different bridging units. The exogenous bridges incorporated into the complexes are: hydroxo [Cu₂L(OH)(H₂O)₂](ClO₄)₂.H₂O (L¹=1a, L² =1b, L³ =1c), acetato [Cu₂L(OAc)₂]ClO₄.H₂O (L¹ =2a, L² =2b, L³ =2c) and nitrito [Cu₂L¹(NO₂)₂(H₂O)₂]ClO₄.H₂O (L¹=3a, L² =3b, L³ =3c). Complexes1a,1b,1c and2a,2b,2c contain bridging exogenous groups, while3a,3b,3c possess only open μ-phenolate structures. Both the ligands and complexes were characterized by spectral studies. Cyclic voltammetric investigation of these complexes revealed that the reaction process involves two successive quasireversible one-electron steps at different potentials. The first reduction potential is sensitive to electronic effects of the substituents at the aromatic ring of the ligand system, shifting to positive potentials when the substituents are replaced by more electrophilic groups. EPR studies indicate very weak interaction between the two copper atoms. Various covalency parameters have been calculated.     

SYNTHESIS OF NEW ANTHRACYCLINE DERIVATIVES CONTAINING PYRUVIC,ASPARTIC, OR N-ACETYLASPARTIC ACID MOLECULE

ABSTRACT

The new anthracycline analogues (2–10) as potential anticancer agents were synthesized from daunomycin (1a) and doxorubicin (1b). Compounds 2, 6, and 7 were prepared by the nucleophilic displacement type esterification of a 14-bromodaunomycin (1c) with a sodium pyruvate, aspartate, and N-acetylaspartic acid, respectively. Whereas compounds (3, 8) and (4, 9) were prepared by the reaction of daunomycin (1a) or doxorubicin (1b) with one equivalent of the corresponding acids in the presence of EDCI/PP, compounds (5, 10) were obtained from 1b by reaction with two equivalents of the corresponding acids in the same manner.     

STUDIES ON THIAZOLOPYRIDINES. PART 5: SYNTHESIS OF HITHERTO UNKNOWN THIAZOLINONE AND THIAZOLO[3,2-a]PYRIDINE DERIVATIVES HAVING IN THEIR STRUCTURE THE MORPHOLIN-4-YL MOIETY

Condensation of thiazolinone 1 with benzaldehydes 2a, b in ethanolic piperidine afforded the methylidene derivatives 3a, b. Cyclocondensation of compound 3b with malononitrile furnished the novel thiazolo[3,2-a]-pyridine 5. Also, compound 3b was condensed with dimethylformamide-dimethylacetal (DMF-DMA) and triethylortho-formate to yield N,N-dimethylamino 6 and ethoxymethylene 7 derivatives respectively. The novel thiazolo[3,2-a]pyridines 10a, b were obtained by cyclocondensation of compounds 3a, b with benzylidene-malononitriles 8a, b. Similarly, cyclocondensation of compound 3b with benzylidenemalononitrile 11 afforded the thiazolopyridines 12a–c. Ternary condensation of compound (12), 4-morpholinobenzaldehyde 2b and malononitrile (1:1:1 molar ratio) produced the thiazolopyridines 14a–c. When compound 10b was subjected to react with malononitrile in dioxane/piperidine under reflux the novel condensed heterocyclic system 18 was obtained. Treatment of ortho-aminocarbonitrile 10b with formic acid, aromatic aldehyde and triethylorthoformate furnished the thiazolo[2′,3′:1,6] pyrido[2,3-d] pyrimidine 20, azomethine 21a, b and ethoxymethylene 22 derivatives respectively. The structure of the synthesized compounds was established by analytical and spectral data.

1-Aryl-6-azauracils, X: Synthesis of some p-nitro-and p-aminophenyl derivatives

The preparation of ethyl p-nitrophenylhydrazonocyanoacetyl carbamidate1a, its p-acetylamino analogue and the cyclization of both substances to the corresponding 1-aryl-5-cyano-6-azauracils is described. From the latter, the acids3a–3c and the 1-aryl-6-azauracils4a and4b were prepared in the usual way. Acid3a was also obtained by nitration of1-phenyl-6-azauracil-5-carboxylic acid, and acid3c by subsequent reduction. p-Nitrophenylhydrazonocyanacetamide (5a) may be prepared conveniently by cleavage of the nitrile2a or coupling of p-nitrodiazonium acetate with cyanoacetamide.

Alkynylhalocarbenes. 4. Generation of (alk-1-ynyl)halocarbenes from 3-substituted 1,1,1,3-tetrahalopropanes under the action of bases

When treated with KOH under phase-transfer catalysis or with Bu^tOK, 3-substituted (alkyl or phenyl) 1,1,3-tribromo-1-fluoropropanes 1a—c exclusively generate previously unknown (alk-1-ynyl)fluorocarbenes 5a—c, which react with olefins to give 1-(alk-1-ynyl)-1-fluorocyclopropanes 6a—h in 12—69% yields. Under analogous conditions, 3-alkyl- and 3-aryl-3-bromo-1,1,1-trichloropropanes 2a—c selectively afford (alk-1-ynyl)chlorocarbenes 7a—c, which are trapped by olefins to form the corresponding 1-(alk-1-ynyl)-1-chlorocyclopropanes 8a—k in 35—70% yields. (Phenylethynyl)chlorocarbene 7a is also selectively generated from 1,1,1,3-tetrachloro-3-phenylpropane (3a) upon its treatment with Bu^tOK. With an excess of 2,3-dimethylbut-2-ene or 2-methylpropene, carbene 7a yields 1-chloro-1-(phenylethynyl)cyclopropanes 8a or 8c, respectively. In contrast, 1,1,1,3-tetrachloroheptane 3b and 3-alkyl- and 3-phenyl-1,1,1,3-tetrabromopropanes 4a,c,f react with bases in the presence of olefins to give, along with the corresponding 1-(alk-1-ynyl)-1-halocyclopropanes 8a,c,d and 11a—f, vinylidenecyclopropanes 12a,c—g, which suggests the generation, under these conditions, both (alk-1-ynyl)halocarbenes 7b and 9a—c and vinylidenecarbenes 10 and 11a—c. The composition and structures of intermediate products in the reactions of tetrahalides 1b, 2a, 2b, 3a, and 3b with Bu^tOK were determined and the mechanisms for carbene generation in these reactions were proposed.

Syntheses of the terpenoid precursors cyclopent-2-enone and cyclohex-2-enone diesters

Summary Two reaction pathways were elaborated for the practical and convenient synthesis of the title compounds. The first route applies a bromination-dehydrobromination sequence to introduce the double bond into 1-alkoxycarbonyl-2-oxocycloalkylacetic and propionic esters (4a–c,7a,b). The application of 2,6-lutidine for dehydrobromination of -bromocycloalkanones diesters (5a–c,8a,b) provides sufficient selectivity to carry out this step without affecting the sensitive ester group. Alternative pathways, involvingMichael reaction of diethyl 2-acetylsuccinate or -glutarate with acrolein and subsequent intramolecular aldol condensation, are presented in the case of cyclohex-2-enone derivatives2a,b.

Zusammenfassung Für praktische und bequeme Synthesen der Titelverbindungen werden zwei Reaktionswege präsentiert. Der erste Weg basiert auf einer Bromierungs-Dehydrobromierungs-Sequenz zur Einführung der Doppelbindung in die 1-Alkoxykarbonyl-2-oxocycloalkylessig- und-propionsäureester (4a–c,7a,b). Die Anwendung von 2,6-Lutidin zur Dehydrobromierung der -Bromocycloalkanone-diester (5a–c,8a,b) sichert die ausreichende Selektivität, ohne die empfindlichen Estergruppen anzugreifen. Im Falle der Cyclohex-2-enon-Derivate (2a,b) zeigen wir einen alternativen Weg, der auf derMichael-Reaktion von Diethyl-2-acetyl-succinat bzw. -glutarat mit Acrolein basiert; die anschließende intramolekulare Aldol-Kondensation liefert die Zielprodukte.

Studies on Pyrazine Derivatives,XLIV: Synthesis and Tuberculostatic Activity of 4-Substituted 3,4,5,6-Tetrahydro-2H-[1,2′]-Bis-Pyrazine Derivatives

2-chloro-3-cyanopyrazine was a substrate in the syntheses of some potentially tuberculostatic pyrazine derivatives. This compound, upon action of secondary amines, pyrazine derivatives 1-phenyl-, 1-piperonyl-, 1-(4-fluorophenyl)-, 1-(2-pyridil)-, and 1-benzylpiperazine, gave the corresponding nitriles ( 1a–e ).

Derivatives 1a–e were transformed into the corresponding thioamides ( 3a–e ) when treated with ammonium polysulphide. Two of these, thioamides, 3a and 3b , in the cyclization reactions with ethylenediamine gave the imidazolines ( 4a , b ) with phenacyl bromide—the thiazole derivatives ( 5a , b ). The compounds obtained were tested in vitro for their tuberculostatic activity. The tuberculostatic activity of compound 5b was the highest: MIC 3.1–7.8 μ g/mL.     

Synthesis,characterization and cytotoxic activity of diorganotin complexes with Schiff base derived from salicylaldehyde and l-tyrosine

Seven diorganotin complexes with the Schiff bases derived from salicylaldehyde and l-tyrosine, R₂Sn[2-O-5-XC₆H₃CH?=?NCH(CH₂C₆ H₄OH-4)COO] (X?=?H (1), Br (2); R?=?Me (a), Et (b), Bu (c), Cy (cyclohexyl) (d)), were synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR, ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectra, and the single-crystal X-ray diffraction. In methanol, the racemization of chiral center of l-tyrosinate fragment occurred and the racemic products were obtained. X-ray analyses of 1c, 1d, and 2a–2c showed that the tin atoms of the complexes exhibit distorted trigonal-bipyramidal geometries. In 1c, 1d, and 2c, the intermolecular O–H???O hydrogen bonds connected the molecules into 1-D supramolecular chain or a R₂²(20) macrocyclic dimer, and 2a and 2b formed the 2-D supramolecular network by the intermolecular Sn???O and O–H???O interactions. Bioassay results indicated that 1a, 1c, and 1d had moderate antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli and 1c, 1d, and 2c belonged to the efficient cytostatic agents against two human tumor cell lines (A549 and HeLa) and the activity tends to follow the order Cy > Bu?>?Et?>?Me for the R group attached to tin.

Synthesis,Spectral Characterization,and Crystal Structure of Two Polymorphs of o,o’-Dichloro Dibenzyl Disulfide

2-Chlorophenyl methanethiol undergoes air oxidation catalyzed by different selenides and yields the corresponding disulfide 1 in two polymorphic forms, 1a and 1b. In the molecular structures of the two new polymorphs of o,o′-dichloro dibenzyl disulfide, the dihedral angles between the dibenzyl groups are 82.0(1)°, (1a), and 73.7(4)°, (1b), respectively [(1a): P-1, a = 8.424(2) Å, b = 8.838(2) Å, c = 10.5823(19) Å, α = 90.122(18)°, β = 112.19(2)°, γ = 95.19(2)°, V = 725.9(3) ų; (1b): P2₁/n, a = 10.5888(10) Å, b = 9.1590(6) Å, c = 15.2489(14) Å, β = 103.072(9)°, V = 1440.6(2) ų]. MOPAC computational studies yield dihedral angles of 89.6(5)° and 71.9(9)°. Crystal packing is stabilized by weak π-ring (C?H···Cg) intermolecular interactions in both 1a and 1b and by additional weak Cg ··· Cg intermolecular interactions in 1b, which influence the bond distances, bond angles, and torsion angles of the dibenzyl groups in each polymorph. Additional characterization of each polymorph has been carried out by TEM, IR, ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectroscopy, microanalysis, and by FAB mass spectrometry. TEM studies of a sample of 1a show that it contains cigar-shaped crystallites.
