Methyl 2-[bis(acetyl)ethenyl]aminopropenoate in the synthesis of heterocyclic systems

Methyl 2-[bis(acetyl)ethenyl]aminopropenoate ( 4 ) was prepared in 3 steps from acetylacetone ( 1 ) via 4-(N,N-dimethylamino)-3-acetylbut-3-en-2-one ( 2 ) and methyl N-[2,2-bis(acetyl)ethenyl]glycinate ( 3 ). Compound 4 reacts with N- and C-nucleophiles to give fused heterocyclic systems. Derivatives of pyrido[1,2-a]pyrimidones 14–16 and thiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidones 17 and 18 were prepared from 2-aminopyridines and 2-aminothiazoles, respectively. With C-nucleophiles derivatives of pyrido[1,2-a]-pyridinone 19 and 2H-1-benzopyran-2-one 20–22 were prepared.     

Desoxy-nitrozucker. 13. Mitteilung. Herstellung ungeschützter und partiell geschützter 1-Desoxy-1-nitro-D-aldosen sowie Röntgenstrukturanalysen einiger ihrer Vertreter

Preparation of Unprotected and Partially Protected 1-Deoxy-1-nitro-D -aldoses and Some Representative X-Ray Structure Analyses The unprotected and partially protected 1-deoxy-1-nitro derivatives of α-and β-D -glucopyranose (see 15 and 14 ), β-D -mannopyranose (see 16 ), N-acetyl-β-D -glucosamine (see 17 ), β-D -galactofuranose (see 19 ), β-D -ribofuranose (see 20 ), α-D -arabinofuranose (see 21 ), 4,6-O-benzylidene-β-D -glucose (see 40 ), N-acetyl-4,6-O-benzylidene-β-D -glucosamine (see 41 ), and 4,6-O-benzylidene-β-D -galactose (see 42 ) were prepared by ozonolysis of the corresponding nitrones which were obtained from the acid-catalyzed reaction of p-nitrobenzaldehyde with the hydroxylamine 4 , the unprotected oximes 3 and 5–9 and the 4,6-O-benzylidene oximes 35–37 , respectively (Schemes 1–3). The gluco- and manno-nitrones 10 and 12 were isolated, and their ring size and their anomeric and (E/Z) configurations were determined by NMR spectroscopy and by their transformation into their corresponding nitro derivatives. The structure of the deoxynitroaldoses were determined by NMR spectroscopy, polarimetry, and, in the case of 14 , 16 , and 17 , by formation of the 4,6-O-benzylidene ( 14 → 40 ) or 4,6-O-isopropylidene ( 16 → 43 , 17 → 23 ) derivatives (Scheme 3). Acetylation of the nitroglucopyranose 14 , the 2-acetamido-nitroglucopyranose 17 , and the nitrogalactofuranose 19 gave the crystalline peracetylated nitroaldoses 22 , 24 , and 45 , respectively (Scheme 4, Figs. 1 and 3); acetylation of the nitromannopyranose 16 gave the nitro-arabino-glycal 44 (Scheme 4). The structure of the peracetylated nitroglucopyranose 22 , the nitroglucosamine 25 , the nitrogalactofuranose 45 , and the nitroribofuranose 20 were confirmed by X-ray analysis (Figs. 1 4). In all cases, including the β-D -glucopyranose derivative 22 , considerably shortening of the (endocyclic) C(1)-O bond was observed. Base-catalyzed anomerization of the β-D -configurated nitroglucopyranose 14 , the nitromannopyranose 16 , the benzylidene acetal 40 of nitroglucose, and the 2,3,4,6-tetraacetylated glucosamine derivative 24 gave the corresponding nitro-α-D -aldoses 15 , 26 , 47 , and 25 , respectively (Scheme 4).     

Fused pyrimidines. 7. Nucleosides of pyrimidopyrimidinediones and pteridinediones as potential chemotherapeutic agents

Several nucleoside derivatives of pyrimido[4,5-d]pyrimidine-2,4(1H,3H)-dione 1 and 2,4{1H,3H-pteridinedione 2 were prepared. Treating the appropriate silylated nucleobase with 1-O-acetyl-2,3,5-tri-O-benzoyl-β-D-ribofura-nose 3 in the presence of trimethylsilyl Inflate gave 4 and 8 which, upon debenzoylation, gave 5 and 9 , respectively. Treatment of 4 with phosphorus pentasulfide afforded the sulfur substituted compound 6 . Again, deprotection gave 7 . The arabinose derivatives were obtained by treating 1-O-acetyl-2,3,5-tri-O-benzoyl-D-arabinofuranose 10 with the silylated nucleobases to give 11 and 13 . Debenzoylation gave the free arabinonucleosides 12 and 14 respectively. The deoxy derivative 16 was prepared by the reaction of 1 with 1-chloro-3,5-di-O-acetyl-2-deoxy-D-ribofuranose 15 . Deacetylation of 16 with methanolic ammonia gave the α-anomer 17 .     

γ-Oxo Carboxylic Acids in Heterocyclic Synthesis IV. Synthesis of Some Pyridazines Containing Phthalyl and Tosyl Amino Acids Using Dcc as the Condensing Agent

The 3(2H)-oxo-, 3(2H)-thioxo- or 3-amino-pyridazine derivatives 4, 6 and 7 were coupled with N-phthalyl- or N-tosyl-amino acids in one-step using N,N′-dicyclohexyl-carbodiimide as the condensing agent to furnish the corresponding 3-(N-phthalyl- or N-tosyl-aminoacyl)pyridazine derivatives 8–10 respectively. Hydrazinolysis of the N-phthalyl derivatives in methanol yielded the corresponding unprotected derivatives 11–13. The antibacterial activities of the prepared compounds were tested.

     

Synthesis of new thienotriazolopyrimidine and thienopyrimidotetrazine derivatives from bifunctional intermediates

New compounds containing the thienotriazolopyrimidine and thienopyrimidotetrazine skeleton are prepared from the bifunctional intermediates 2,3‐diamino‐5,6‐dimethylthieno[2,3‐d]pyrimidin‐4(3H)‐one derivatives 13–17 . The 2,3‐dihydro‐3‐substituted‐5,6‐dimethylthieno[2,3‐d]pyrimidin‐4(1H)‐one derivatives 8–12 are also prepared.     

Effect of lateral substitution on supramolecular liquid crystal associates induced by hydrogen-bonding interactions between 4-(4′-pyridylazo-3-methylphenyl)-4′′-alkoxy benzoates and 4-substituted benzoic acids

Five laterally methyl-substituted pyridine-based derivatives of the title compounds (I 8–I 16), with molecular formula 4-C_nH_2n+1O-C₆H₄COOC₆H₃(3-CH₃)-N=N-C₅H₄N were prepared and their molecular formulae elucidated via elemental analyses, infrared, nuclear magnetic resonance and mass spectra. The number of carbon atoms in the alkoxy chain (n) varies between 8, 10, 12, 14, and 16 carbons. The newly prepared pyridine-based derivatives were investigated for their mesophase behaviour by differential scanning calorimetry and polarised optical microscopy; most of them were found to possess monotropic smectic C (SmC) mesophase. Two groups (A and B) of the 1:1 hydrogen-bonded associates, formed between each of the derivatives I 8– I 16 and two types of 4-substituted benzoic acids (II), were prepared and similarly characterised to investigate the effect of lateral methyl substitution on the central phenylene ring, as well as terminal polar substituents and alkoxy-chain length on the stability of the mesophases induced by intermolecular hydrogen bonding. In Group A complexes, mesomorphic 4-alkoxy benzoic acids, that carry the terminal n-alkoxy group of varying chain length, were used. The other series of complexes (Group B) is composed from the same pyridine-based derivatives and each of the non-mesomorphic 4-substituted benzoic acids that carries small compact polar groups, varying between CH₃O, CH₃, H, Cl, Br, and CN. All complexes prepared were investigated for their mesophase behaviour by differential scanning calorimetry and polarised optical microscopy and found to be purely smectogenic, possessing SmC as the only mesophase observed. The formation of the hydrogen-bonded complexes was confirmed by constructing their binary phase diagrams, which cover the whole range of concentration of the two complements.     

Synthesis of New Fused and Spiro Heterocyclic Systems from 3,5‐Pyrazolidinediones

4‐Bromo‐1‐phenyl‐3,5‐pyrazolidinedione 2 reacted with different nucleophilic reagents to give the corresponding 4‐substituted derivatives 3–8 . The cyclized compounds 9–11 were achieved on refluxing compounds 3 , 4 or 6_a in glacial acetic acid or diphenyl ether. 4,4‐Dibromo‐1‐phenyl‐3,5‐pyrazolidinedione 12 reacted with the proper bidentates to give the corresponding spiro 3,5‐pyrazolidinediones 13–15 , respectively. The 4‐aralkylidine derivatives 16_a‐c , were subjected to Mannich reaction to give Mannich bases 17_a‐c‐22_a‐c , respectively. 4‐(p‐Methylphenylaminomethylidine)‐1‐phenyl‐3,5‐pyrazolidinedione 23 or 4‐(p‐methylphenylazo)‐1‐phenyl‐3,5‐pyrazolidinedione 29 were prepared and reacted with active nitriles, cyclic ketones and N,S‐acetals to give pyrano[2,3‐c]pyrazole, pyrazolo[4′,3′:5,6]pyrano[2,3‐c]pyrazole, spiropyrazole‐4,3′‐pyrazole and spiropyrazole‐4,3′‐[1,2,4]triazolane derivatives 24–34 , respectively.     

Synthesis,Reactions and Antimicrobial Activity of Some New Indolyl‐1,3,4‐Oxadiazole,Triazole and Pyrazole Derivatives

Indole‐3‐carboxylic acid hydrazide 3 was prepared and was treated with aromatic aldehydes in ethanol to give the corresponding hydrazone derivatives 4–7 in good yields. The indole carbohydrazide was incorporated into the 3‐indolyloxadiazoles 8–11 and 18 , 3‐indolyltriazoles 13–17 and 35 , 3‐indolylpyrazole derivatives 19–23 and carbamate derivatives 26–27 . Furthermore, interaction of the carboazide 24 with hydrazine hydrate in refluxing toluene afforded the corresponding semicarbazide derivative 30 . The thiadiazine derivative 34 was also prepared. Some of these compounds were screened in vitro for their antibacterial and antifungal activity.     

Potential antipsychotic agents. Part 8. Antidopaminergic properties of a potent series of 5-substituted (−)-(S)-N-[(1-ethylpyrrolidin-2-yl)methyl]-2,3-dimethoxybcnzaimides. Synthesis via common lithio intermediates

A series of 5-substituted (?)-(S)-N-[(1-ethylpyrrolidin-2-yl)methyl]-2,3-diniethoxybenzanndes were made by reaction of the corresponding benzoyl chlorides with (S)-1-ethylpyrrolidine-2-methylaruine (→ 14–16 , 18–21 ). The acids required were prepared in a regiospecific manner from 5-bromo-2,3-dimethoxybenzoic acid which was protected as dihydrooxazole (→ 4–8 ), metalated, reacted with various electrophiles (MeI, EtI, BuBr, CC1³CCl³ or MeSSMe), and hydrolyzed (→ 9–13 ). Alternatively, (-)-(S)-5-bromo-N-[(1-ethylpyrrolidin-2-yl)methyl]-2,3-di-methoxybenzamide was treated with KH followed by BuLi and an electrophile (I₂ or Me³SiCl) to give the 5-iodo and 5-(trimethylsilyl) derivatives 17 and 22 , respectively. All 5-substituted amides were highly potent inhibitors of [³H]spiperone binding in rat striatal membranes with IC⁵⁰ values of 0.5 to 5 nM (Table 3). Thus, a relatively large steric bulk can be accomodated in the position para to the 2-MeO group. This work also supports the notion that a positive as well as negative electrostatic potential can be located in this position. A selected number of derivatives were also investigated in vivo and found to inhibit apomorphine-induced behavioural responses in the same dose range as haloperidol and raclopride (Table 4). This new group of benzamides is suitable for investigations of dopamine D-2 receptors in labelled or unlabelled form.     

Amino acid derivatives,part 2: Synthesis,antiviral, and antitumor activity of simple protected amino acids functionalized at N‐terminus with naphthalene side chain

Coupling of various acylated amino acid derivatives with (naphthalen‐2‐lyloxy)acetic acid ( 3 ) in the presence of 1‐hydroxy‐benzoteriazole (HOBt) and DCC afforded the new amides 6–12 . Alternatively, the latter compounds were prepared from reaction of the corresponding hydrazide 5 , via the azide‐coupling method, with the acylated amino acid derivatives. Treatment of 6, 10–12 with N₂H₄ċH₂O afforded the hydrazides 13–16 , respectively, as key intermediates for the synthesis of peptide derivatives. Reaction of 12 , as a acceptor, with the glycosyl‐trichloroimidate 18 , as donors in the presence of TMSOTf gave the new glycoside 19 . The new compounds were evaluated for their anti‐HIV‐1, antibovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV), and antitumor activity. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

6‐Aminopyridine‐2(1H)thiones 1 reacting with α‐halo‐compounds 2a–c afforded the alkylthiopyridine derivatives 3a–c which in turn cyclized to the corresponding thieno[2,3‐b]pyridine derivatives 4a–c . Several thieno[2,3‐b]pyridine derivatives 7, 16, 19 , pyrido[3′,2′:4,5]thieno[3,2‐d]pyrimidine derivatives 6a,b, 11a–c, 21 and pyrido[3′,2′:4,5]thieno[3,2‐c]pyridazine derivatives 13, 17 were prepared starting from compounds 4a–c . © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Nucleotides. Part XLV. Synthesis of new (2′–5′)adenylate trimers,containing 5′-amino-5′-deoxyadenosine residues at the 5′-end of the oligoadenylate chain,and of its analogues,carrying a 9-[(2-hydroxyethoxy)methyl]adenine residue at the 2′-terminus

The 5′-amino-5′-deoxy-2′,3′-O-isopropylideneadenosine ( 4 ) was obtained in pure form from 2′,3′-O-isopropylideneadenosine ( 1 ), without isolation of intermediates 2 and 3 . The 2-(4-nitrophenyl)ethoxycarbonyl group was used for protection of the NH₂ functions of 4 (→7) . The selective introduction of the palmitoyl (= hexadecanoyl) group into the 5′-N-position of 4 was achieved by its treatment with palmitoyl chloride in MeCN in the presence of Et₃N (→ 5 ). The 3′-O-silyl derivatives 11 and 14 were isolated by column chromatography after treatment of the 2′,3′-O-deprotected compounds 8 and 9 , respectively, with (tert-butyl)dimethylsilyl chloride and 1H-imidazole in pyridine. The corresponding phosphoramidites 16 and 17 were synthesized from nucleosides 11 and 14 , respectively, and (cyanoethoxy)bis(diisopropylamino)phosphane in CH₂Cl₂. The trimeric (2′–5′)-linked adenylates 25 and 26 having the 5′-amino-5′-deoxyadenosine and 5′-deoxy-5′-(palmitoylamino)adenosine residue, respectively, at the 5′-end were prepared by the phosphoramidite method. Similarly, the corresponding 5′-amino derivatives 27 and 28 carrying the 9-[(2-hydroxyethoxy)methyl]adenine residue at the 2′-terminus, were obtained. The newly synthesized compounds were characterized by physical means. The synthesized trimers 25–28 were 3-, 15-, 25-, and 34-fold, respectively, more stable towards phosphodiesterase from Crotalus durissus than the trimer (2′–5′)ApApA.     

Some transformations of 3-amino-4-alkoxycarbonyl-6-hydroxy-2H-1-benzopyran-2-ones. The synthesis of [1] benzopyrano[3,4-d]-[1,3]oxazine and [1] benzopyrano[3,4-d]pyrimidine derivatives

Acylation of 4-alkoxycarbonyl-3-amino-6-hydroxy-2H-1-benzopyran-2-one derivatives 3 and 4 gave under mild conditions the O-substituted derivatives 5–10, N,O -disubstituted derivative 11 and N,N-disubstituted derivative 12 . The compound 4 was transformed with benzoyl chloride under more drastic conditions into 13 , a derivative of a new heterocyclic system 2-benzopyrano[3,4-d][1,3]oxazine. The derivatives of 1-benzopyrano-[3,4-d]pyrimidine 19 and 20 were prepared either from 3 and 4 through the corresponding N-heteroarylformamidines 14 and 15 and N-heteroarylformamide oximes 17 and 18 or by cyclization of thiourea derivative 20 .     

Indolalkaloids of Pleiocarpa talbotii Wernham. 145. Alkaloids

Besides talbotine ( 1 ) three new indole alkaloids, talpinine ( 2 ), talcarpine ( 3 ) and 16-epi-affinine ( 4 ) were isolated from the stem bark of Pleiocarpa talbotii Wernham. The structure of 2 was deduced by chemical degradation and by analyses of the spectra of the alkaloid and its derivatives. One of these derivatives is identical with talcarpine ( 3 ). The structures 2 and 3 are similar to that of macroline ( 14 ), a splitting product of the bisindole alkaloid villalstonine from Alstonia species. 16-epi-Affinine ( 4 ) was chemically correlated with the known alkaloid vobasine ( 19 ). Talpinine ( 2 ) and 16-epi-affinine ( 4 ) were also isolated from the root bark of Pleiocarpa talbotii.     

N-quaternary compounds. Part LIX. Facile synthesis of 3-vinyl-4(3H)-pyrimidinethiones

3-Vinyl derivatives of 4(3H)-pyrimidinethiones have been prepared from 2,3-dihydrothiazolo[3,2-c]pyrimidinium derivatives through ring-opening by a strong base such as potassium t-butoxide in DMF. The pyrimidinium derivative is initially prepared from 4(3H)-pyrimidinethiones. 3-Vinyl-4(3H)-pyrimidinethiones are also formed by the ready decarboxylation of 2,3-dihydrothiazolo[3,2-c]pyrimidinium-3-carboxylates. In the mass spectrometer the nature of the volatile species was elucidated by means of appearance potentials and fragmentation patterns.     

Synthesis and characterization of poly(ethylene glycol) derivatives

Five general routes for the preparation of polyoxyethylene [generally referred to as poly(ethylene glycol) or PEG] derivatives are described. These routes are (1) nucleophilic displacements with the alkoxide of PEG, (2) nucleophilic displacement on PEG–tosylate, –mesylate, or –bromide, (3) reductive amination of PEG–aldehyde, (4) reductive amination of PEG–amine, and (5) nucleophilic displacements on the s-triazine derivatives prepared from s-triazine trichloride (cyanuric chloride) and PEG. Eighteen derivatives are prepared and potential applications to catalysis, cell purifications, and other areas are discussed briefly.     

Studies on quinoline derivatives and related compounds. IV. Synthesis of 4-substituted 1-alkyl-1,4-dihydro-3-quinolinecarboxylic acid

By the displacement reactions of 1-ethyl-4-chloro-3-carboethoxy-6,7-methylenedioxyquinolinium iodide ( 3a ), several 4-substituted derivatives including the 4-thioxo ( 1c ) and 4-amino derivatives ( 6 ) of oxolinic acid were prepared. The acid 1c and its N₁-substituted derivatives ( 18a-h ) were prepared alternatively by alkylation of ethyl 4-ethylmercapto-6,7-methylenedioxy-3-quinolinecarboxylate ( 15 ) followed by treatment with sodium hydrosulfide and hydrolysis.     

STUDIES IN SIGMATROPIC REARRANGEMENT: THERMAL REARRANGEMENT OF 3-PROP-2′-YNYLOXYBENZOTHIAPYRAN-4-ONES

ABSTRACT

3-Prop-2′-ynyloxybenzothiapyran-4-one derivatives (3a–d) were prepared from 3-hydroxy benzothiapyran-4-one (1) and prop-2-ynylic halides (2) in 70–90% yield. The ethers (3a–d) were then heated in refluxing chlorobenzene to give furo[3,2-b]benzothiapyran-9-one derivatives (4a–d) in 87–95% yields. 2-Chloro-2-methylbut-3-yne (2e) on reaction with 3-hydroxybenzothiapyran-4-one (1a) directly afforded 2-isopropyl furo[3,2-b]benzothiapyran-9-one (4e) in 70% yield.     

Synthesis of certain alkenyl purines and purine analogs

Synthesis of alkenyl derivatives of certain purines and purine analogs is described. Direct alkylation of the sodium salt of 6-chloropurine (1) either with 1-bromo-2-pentene or 4-bromo-2-methyl-2-butene in N,N-dimethylformamide furnished N-7, 4a and N-9, 3a , 3b alkenyl derivatives. Similar alkylation of 2-amino-6-chloropurine (2) provided the corresponding N-7, 4c-4e and N-9, 3c-3e alkenyl derivatives. Acid hydrolysis of these chloro derivatives 3a-3e, 4a,c-e furnished the corresponding alkenyl hypoxan-thines 6a, 6b and 7a or alkenyl guanines 6c-6e and 7c-7e. Treatment of 3a-3d with thiourea in absolute ethanol provided the corresponding 6-thio derivatives 5a-5d. Alkylation of the sodium salt of either purine-6-carboxamide (8) or 1,2,4-triazole-3-carboxamide (10) gave mainly one isomer 9a, 9b and 11a, 11b. The direct alkylation of pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4(3H)-one (12) gave N-3 alkenyl derivatives 13a, 13b , and the N-7 alkenyl derivatives 16a, 16b have been prepared starting from the 4-chloro derivative 14 . Synthesis of 2-amino-7-(2-penten-1-yl)pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4(3H)-one (19a) has been accomplished starting from 2-amino-4-methoxypyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidine (17) . These alkenyl derivatives were found to be devoid of anti-HCMV activity in vitro.     

Thiazolo[4,5-d]pyrimidines. Part I. synthesis and anti-human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) activity in vitro of certain alkyl derivatives

Alkyl derivatives of the thiazolo[4,5-d]pyrimidine congeners of guanine and uracil were prepared and assessed for in vitro activity against human cytomegalovirus (HCMV). The finding that the 3-pentyl 1b and 3-hexyl 1c derivatives of 5-aminothiazolo[4,5-d]pyrimidine-2,7(3H,6H)-dione (1e) had potent in vitro anti-HCMV activity prompted a broader study of alkyl derivatives in this ring system. A series of 3-alkyl derivatives of 1e , viz. 1f-w , were prepared by direct alkylation of the sodium salt of 1e and by subsequent modifications, 2a-d. For comparison with 1c , 5-amino-2-hexylaminothiazolo[4,5-d]pyrimidin-7(6H)-one (4) was prepared and studied. The 3-(2-alkenyl) derivatives of 1e were found to be the more active antiviral agents with the Z isomer of 5-amino-3-(2-penten-1-yl)thiazolo[4,5-d]pyrimidine-2,7(3H,6H)-dione (1f) having the better therapeutic index. Analogous 4-(2-alkenyl) derivatives of 2-aminothiazolo[4,5-d]pyrimidine-5,7(4H,6H)-dione 6a and 6b were also prepared but were found to have poor therapeutic indices. Single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis was used to unequivocally establish the structure of 1f.
