The reaction of methyl anthranilate with 4,5-dichloro-1,2,3-dithiazolium chloride (Appel's salt) in the presence of pyridine (2 equivalents) in dichloromethane at room temperature gave methyl N-(4-chloro-5H-1,2,3-dithiazol-5-ylidene)anthranilate ( 3a ) (50% yield), which reacted with sterically less hindered primary alkylamines to give directly 3-alkyl-2-cyanoquinazolin-4(3H)-ones 5 in moderate to good yields. With tert-butylamine, N-(2-methoxycarbonylphenyl)iminocyanomethyl N-(tert-butyl) disulfide 7 and methyl 2-(N-cyanothioformamido)anthranilate ( 8 ) were isolated in 33% and 59% yields, respectively. The cyano group of quinazoline 5a (R = CH₃) is readily displaced by various nucleophiles to give 2-substituted quinazolinones 11–19 , which indicates that compounds 5 can be utilized as starting materials for the synthesis of new 2-substituted quinazolines. Similarly 3-alkyl-2-cyanomieno[3,2,-d]pyrimidin-4(3H)-ones 22 were prepared from methyl 3-[N-(4-chloro-5H-1,2,3-dimiazol-5-ylidene)]-2-thiophencarboxylate ( 21 ) in moderate to good yields.

The synthesis of dibenzodiazepinones 1 (Scheme 1) is based on the reaction between 1,4-phenylenediamine and substituted benzoic acids. The intermediate pyridobenzodiazepinones 3 (Scheme 1) were prepared by condensation of 2-chloro-3-aminopyridine with methyl anthranilate and its chlorine derivative. The condensation of 4-[(halo)alkyl]phenylacetyl chloride with dibenzodiazepinones and pyridobenzodiazepinones followed by the reaction of mono- or dialkyl- or dialkenylamine provides 6 (Scheme 1).

The stereocontrolled synthesis of phenylalanine and tryptophan derived 5-oxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-5H-1,4-benzodiazepine derivatives is described. This new methodology involves a modified Strecker reaction of N-Boc protected amino aldehydes and methyl anthranilate, reduction of the resulting α-amino nitriles, and lactamization. The resulting 2-substituted-5-oxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-5H-1,4-benzodiazepines were further functionalized at position 4 by alkylation or acylation reactions. One of these new tryptophan-derived 1,4-benzodiazepines showed significant selective binding affinity at cholecystokinin CCK₁ receptors (IC₅₀=156.5±33.2 nM).

Reaction of sulfene with N,N-disubstituted 3-aminomethylene-1-(methyl, methylphenyl, phenyl)-4-piprridones and 3-aminomethylene-2,3-dihydro-1-plumy 1–4(1H) quinolones gave N,N-disubstituted 4-amino-3,4,5,6,7.8-hexahydro-6-(methyl, methylphenyl, phenyl)-1,2-oxathiino-[5,6-c] pyridine 2,2-dioxides and 4-amino-6-phenyl-3,4,5,6-tetrahydro-1,2-oxathiino[5,6-c]quinoline 2,2-dioxides, respectively, whereas N,N-disubstituted 3-aminomethylene-2,3-dihydro-1-methyl-4(1H) quinolones did not react. Slow air oxidation in the cold of intermediates 2,3-dihydro-3-hydroymethyIene-1-(methyl, phenyl)-4(1H) quinolones gave the corresponding 1-substituted 1,4-dihydro-4-oxo-3-quinolinecarboxyaldehydes.

Dehydrochlorination of VI with DBN afforded N,N-disubstituted 4-amino-3-chloro-6,7-dihydro(7-methyl)(7-phenyl)pyrano[2,3-e]indazol-2(5H]-ones VII generally in satisfactory yield. Full aromatization with DDQ of VII was tried only in the case of dimethylamino derivatives, giving a moderate yield of 3-chloro-4-dimethylamino(7-methyl)(7-phenyl)pyrano[2,3-e]indazol-2(7H)-ones.

With N-nucleophiles, such as heterocyclic amines 4, either methyl 2-acetylamino-3-heteroarylaminopropenoates 5 or fused pyrimidinoncs 6 were formed, dependent on the reaction conditions and/or heterocyclic substituents: C-nuclcophiles with an active or potentially active methylene group, such as 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds 7, 8 and 9, substituted phenols 10a,b, naphthols 11, 12a-c, and substituted coumarin 13a, afforded substituted pyranones 20 and 22, and fused pyranones 21, 23–26. The nitrogen containing heterocycles 14–19 produced pyranoazines 27–31 and pyranoazole 32. In all of these systems the acetylamino group is attached at position 3 of the newly formed pyranone ring. The orientation around the double bond for methyl (Z)-2-(N-methyl-N-trifluo-roacetyl)-3-dimethylaminopropenoate (36) was established by X-ray analysis.

The reaction of methyl 2-bromo-6-(trifluoromethyl)-3-pyridinecarboxylate ( 1 ) with methanesulfonamide gave methyl 2-[(methylsulfonyl)amino]-6-(trifluoromethyl)-3-pyridine-carboxylate ( 2 ). Alkylation of compound 2 with methyl iodide followed by cyclization of the resulting methyl 2-[methyl(methylsulfonyl)amino]-6-(trifluoromethyl)-3-pyridinecarboxylate ( 3 ) yielded 1-methyl-7-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-pyrido[2,3-c][1,2]thiazin-4(3H)-one 2,2-dioxide ( 4 ). The reaction of compound 4 with α,2,4-trichlorotoluene, methyl bromopropionate, methyl iodide, 3-trifluoromethylphenyl isocyanate, phenyl isocyanate and 2,4-dichloro-5-(2-propynyloxy)phenyl isothiocyanate gave, respectively, 4-[(2,4-dichlorophenyl)methoxy]-1-methyl-7-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-pyrido[2,3-c][1,2]thiazine 2,2-dioxide ( 5 ), methyl 2-[[1-methyl-2,2-dioxido-7-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-pyrido[2,3-c][1,2]thiazin-4-yl]oxy]propanoate ( 6 ), 1,3,3-trimethyl-7-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-pyrido[2,3-c][1,2]thiazin-4(3H)-one 2,2-dioxide ( 7 ), 4-hydroxy-1-methyl-7-(trifluoromethyl)-N-[3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-1H-pyrido[2,3-c][1,2]thiazine-3-carboxamide 2,2-dioxide ( 8 ), 4-hydroxy-1-methyl-7-(trifluoromethyl)-N-phenyl-1H-pyrido[2,3-c][1,2]thiazine-3-carboxamide 2,2-dioxide ( 9 ) and N-[2,4-dichloro-5-(2-propynyloxy)phenyl]-4-hydroxy-1-methyl-7-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-pyrido[2,3-c][1,2] thiazine-3-carboxamide 2,2-dioxide ( 10 ).

A new method for the synthesis of [1,4]diazepino[6,5-b]indole derivatives

Reactions of 3-[(N-aryl-N-chloroacetyl)amino]-2-formylindoles with substituted anilines gave 1,4-diaryl-2-oxo-1,2,3,6-tetrahydro[1,4]diazepino[6,5-b]indol-4-ium chlorides and those with 4-aminopyridine yielded 4-amino-1-(1-aryl-2-oxo-2,5-dihydro-1H-pyrido[3,2-b]indol-3-yl)pyridinium chlorides. Reduction of 1,2,3,6-tetrahydrodiazepinoindol-4-ium chlorides afforded the corresponding hexahydro derivatives.

The influence of sulfur substituents on the molecular geometry and packing of thio derivatives of N‐methylphenobarbital

The room‐temperature crystal structures of four new thio derivatives of N‐methylphenobarbital [systematic name: 5‐ethyl‐1‐methyl‐5‐phenylpyrimidine‐2,4,6(1H,3H,5H)‐trione], C₁₃H₁₄N₂O₃, are compared with the structure of the parent compound. The sulfur substituents in N‐methyl‐2‐thiophenobarbital [5‐ethyl‐1‐methyl‐5‐phenyl‐2‐thioxo‐1,2‐dihydropyrimidine‐4,6(3H,5H)‐dione], C₁₃H₁₄N₂O₂S, N‐methyl‐4‐thiophenobarbital [5‐ethyl‐1‐methyl‐5‐phenyl‐4‐thioxo‐3,4‐dihydropyrimidine‐2,6(1H,5H)‐dione], C₁₃H₁₄N₂O₂S, and N‐methyl‐2,4,6‐trithiophenobarbital [5‐ethyl‐1‐methyl‐5‐phenylpyrimidine‐2,4,6(1H,3H,5H)‐trithione], C₁₃H₁₄N₂S₃, preserve the heterocyclic ring puckering observed for N‐methylphenobarbital (a half‐chair conformation), whereas in N‐methyl‐2,4‐dithiophenobarbital [5‐ethyl‐1‐methyl‐5‐phenyl‐2,4‐dithioxo‐1,2,3,4‐tetrahydropyrimidine‐6(5H)‐one], C₁₃H₁₄N₂OS₂, significant flattening of the ring was detected. The number and positions of the sulfur substituents influence the packing and hydrogen‐bonding patterns of the derivatives. In the cases of the 2‐thio, 4‐thio and 2,4,6‐trithio derivatives, there is a preference for the formation of a ring motif of the R₂²(8) type, which is also a characteristic of N‐methylphenobarbital, whereas a C(6) chain forms in the 2,4‐dithio derivative. The preferences for hydrogen‐bond formation, which follow the sequence of acceptor position 4 > 2 > 6, confirm the differences in the nucleophilic properties of the C atoms of the heterocyclic ring and are consistent with the course of N‐methylphenobarbital thionation reactions.     

The selective preparation of 1,4-diaryl-6-methyl- and 1,6-diaryl-4-methyl-2-(1H)pyrimidinones

N-Phenylurea reacted with benzoylacetone derivatives (I) to give 1,4-diaryl-6-methyl-2-(1H)pyrimidinones (II) in addition to low yields of 1,6-diaryl-4-methyl-2-(1H)pyrimidinones (IV), while N-phenylthiourea afforded only 1,6-diaryl-4-methyl-2-(1H)pyrimidinethiones (III) in good yields. Further 1,6-diaryl-4-methyl-2-(1H)- pyrimidinethiones (III) were successfully converted in satisfactory yields into the corresponding 2-(1H)-pyrimidinones (IV) by the treatment with methyl iodide in the presence of sodium methoxide in methanol at room temperature.

The obtained N-glycerylated pyrazoles were further treated with diverse nucleophiles for 2-oxo-1,3-dioxolane ring cleavage. The synthesized 1-(2,3-dihydroxypropyl)-1H-pyrazole-5-carboxylates were subsequently hydrolyzed and treated with p-toluenesulfonic acid, yielding a series of 6-(hydroxymethyl)-6,7-dihydro-4H-pyrazolo[5,1-c][1,4]ox-azin-4-ones.     

Lithiation of N‐protected‐dihydro‐1,4‐benzoxaziness

Lithiation of N‐protected‐2,3‐dihydro‐1,4‐benzoxazines is described. Lithiation of N‐(tert‐butoxycarbonyl)‐2,3‐dihydro‐1,4‐benzoxazine ( 1 ) with BuLi/TMEDA occurred in the α‐position to nitrogen on the heterocyclic ring, leading to the unexpected ring‐opened product 3 . On the other hand, lithiation of N‐methyl‐2,3‐dihydro‐1,4‐benzoxazine ( 4 ) took place at the oxygen‐adjacent ortho‐position of the aromatic ring.
