An auto oxidation-rearrangement product 4 was isolated from a high dilution reaction of ninhydrin with 3,4,5-trimethoxyaniline in water. A general synthesis of this compound and its derivatives 4–6 was devised by oxidation of tetrahydroindeno[1,2-b]indol-10-ones 1–3 with sodium periodate to give isoindolo[2,1-a]-indole-6,11-diones 4–6 in good yield. Compounds 4–6 can be easily transformed into spiro[1H-isobenzofuran-1,2′-2H-indole]-3,3′-diones 8–10 , spiro[2H-indole-2,1′-1H-isoindole]-3,3′-diones 11–13 and isoindole[1,2-a:2′,1′-b]pyrimidine-5,15-diones 15, 16 in high yields. Analogous reactions were performed on 3-amino-5a, 10a-dihydroxybenzo[b]indeno[2,1-d]furan-10-one ( 17 ) to give a dibenzoxocintrione 18 , spiro-[benzofuran-2,1′-isobenzofuran]-3,3′-dione 19 and an isoindol-1-one 20 .     

Nitrogen bridgehead compounds. Part 86. Synthesis and reactivity of 7,12-dihydropyrimido[1′,2′;1,2]pyrido[3,4-b]indol-4(6H)-ones. Debenzologues of rutaecarpine alkaloids

A series of 7,12-dihydropyrimido[1′2′:1,2]pyrido[3,4-b]mdole-4(6H)-ones was prepared by Fischer indolization of 9-arylhydrazono-6,7,8,9-tetrahydro-4H-pyrido[1,2-a]pyrirmdin-4-ones. Quantum chemical calculations (ab initio and AM1) indicate that position 3 of 7,12-dihydropyrimido[1′,2′:1,2]pyrido-[3,4-b]indole-4(6H)-one can be involved in electrophilic substitutions, while position 2 is sensitive towards nucleophilic attack. Bromination of 6-methyl-7,12-tetrahydropyrimido[1′,2′:1,2]pyrido-[3,4-b]indol-4(6H)-one 16 with bromine afforded 3-bromo derivative 25 , which was reacted with cyclic amines to give 2-ammo-7,12-dihydropyrirmdo[1′2′:1,2]pyrido[3,4-b]indol-4(6H)-ones 26–30 in an addition-elimination reaction. Vielsmeier-Haack formylation of compound 16 gave 12-formyl 31 and 3,12-diformyl 32 derivatives (an N-formyl-1-deaza derivative of nauclefidine alkaloid 34 ) at 60° and 100°, respectively. 3,12-Diformyl compound 32 was oxidized to 3-carboxyl derivative 33 with potassium permanganate. The quaternary salt 35 , obtained from compound 16 with dimethyl sulfate, suffered a ring opening on the action of aqueous sodium hydroxide. The new compounds have been characterized by elemental analyses uv, ¹H nmr and in some cases by ¹³C ruler, CD spectra and X-ray investigations.     

Action of 1,2-diamines and o-aminophenols on 1-alkyl-3-carboxyindole-2-acetic acid anhydrides. Preparation of new ring systems

1-Alkyl-3-carboxyindole-2-acetic acid anhydrides (I) react with ethylenediamine and with o-phenylenediamine to give directly 10-alkylimidazo[3,2:1′,2′]pyrido[4,5-b]indol-5(1H)-ones (II) and 5,6-dihydro-5-alkyl-13H-indolo[2′,3′:4,5]pyrido[1,2-a]benzimidazol-13-one (V), respectively. However, anhydrides I react with o-aminophenol and with o-aminothiophenol to give carboxyindole-acetanilide derivatives IX, which can be cyclised to indolo[2′,3′:4,5]pyrido[2,1-b]benzoxazolone and indolo[2′,3′:4,5]pyrido[2,1-b]benzthiazolone (XI). Some derivatives of II and V were prepared to help in elucidating the structures.

The spiro heterocycles were prepared by the reactions of fluorine containing 3-dicyanomethylene-2H-indol-2-ones with 4-hydroxy-2H-1-benzopyran-2-one and 1H-indene-1,3(2H)-dione respectively. The synthesized compounds have been characterized on the basis of elemental analyses, ir, pmr, ¹⁹F nmr and mass spectral data.     

Urea/Thiourea as Ammonia Surrogate: A Catalyst-Free Synthesis of 2-Substituted 2,3-Dihydroquinazolin-4(1H)-ones/Quinazoline-4(3H)-ones

Urea/thiourea have been identified as an effective ammonia surrogate in the construction of quinazolin-4(3H)-one ring. This strategy afforded a simple and catalyst-free synthesis of 2-substituted 2,3-dihydroquinazolin-4(1H)-ones and quinazolin-4(3H)-ones via the reaction of isatoic anhydride and aryl aldehydes in the presence of urea or thiourea in ethanol. The reaction proceeded well to afford the quinazolin-4(3H)-one or its dihydro derivative, depending on the nature of carbonyl compounds employed.

Five novel polycyclic heterocyclic ring systems are reported via photocyclization. The specific final products in these ring systems are: naphtho[1′,2′:4,5]thieno[2,3-c][1,8]naphthyridin-6(5H)-one ( 5 ), naphtho-[1′,2′:4,5]thieno[2,3-c][1,6]naphthyridin-6(5H)-one ( 6 ), naphtho[1′,2′:4,5]thieno[2,3-c]-1,5-naphthyridine ( 9 ), naphtho[1′,2′:4,5]thieno[2,3-c][1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]-1,5-naphthyridine ( 12 ), and naphtho[2′,1′:4,5]thieno[2,3-c]-1,5-naphthyridine ( 17 ). The direction of photocyclization to produce 9 was established from a zero quantum two-dimensional nmr spectroscopy experiment (ZQCOSY) using 6-chloronaphtho[1′,2′:4,5]thieno[2,3-c]-1,5-naphthyridine ( 8 ) as the model compound.     

Studies in spiroheterocycles. Part XIII. Synthesis of a novel spiro system: Spiro[9H-acridine-9,3′-[3h]indol]-2′(1′H)-one and related compounds from new fluorinated spiro[3H-indole-3,9′-[9H]xanthen]-2(1H)-ones

A new spiroheterocyclic system spiro[9H-acridine-9,3′-[3H]indol]-2′(1′H)-one and related compounds have been prepared by the reaction of spiro[3H-indole-3,9′-[9H]xanthen]-2(1H)-ones with aromatic amine or ammonium acetate. The latter were prepared by heating fluorinated indole-2,3-diones with m-/p-cresols or α-naphthol in the presence of sulphuric acid at 230-240°. The synthesized compounds have been characterized on the basis of their elemental analyses, ir, nmr (1_H, 13_C, 19_F) and mass spectral data.     

Five-membered 2,3-dioxo heterocycles: LXIII. Cascade recyclization of isopropyl 2-(1-aryl-4,5-dioxo-2-phenyl-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrrol-3-yl)-2-oxoacetates with cyclic enamines. Crystalline and molecular structure of 1′-benzyl-6′,6′-dimethyl-3-[(Z)-phenyl(phenylamino)methylidene]-6′,7′-dihydro-3H-spiro[furan-2,3′-indole]-2′,4,4′,5(1′H,5′H)-tetraone

Isopropyl 2-(1-aryl-4,5-dioxo-2-phenyl-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrrol-3-yl)-2-oxoacetates reacted with N-substituted 3-amino-5,5-dimethylcyclohex-2-en-1-ones to give the corresponding 1′-substituted (Z)-6′,6′-dimethyl-3-[phenyl(arylamino)methylidene]-6′,7′-dihydro-3H-spiro[furan-2,3′-indole]-2′,4,4′,5(1′H,5′H)-tetraones. The structure of 1′-benzyl-6′,6′-dimethyl-3-[(Z)-phenyl(phenylamino)methylidene]-6′,7′-dihydro-3Hspiro[furan-2,3′-indole]-2′,4,4′,5(1′H,5′H)-tetraone was proved by X-ray analysis.     

8-Aza-7-deaza-2′,3′-dideoxyguanosine: Deoxygenation of its 2′deoxy-β-D-ribofuranoside

The synthesis of 6-amino-1-(2′,3′-dideoxy-β-D -glycero-pentofuranosyl)-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-4(5H)-one ( =8-aza-7-deaza-2′,3′-dideoxyguanosine; 1 ) from its 2′-deoxyribofuranoside 5a by a five-step deoxygenation route is described. The precursor of 5a, 3a , was prepared by solid-liquid phase-transfer glyscosylation which gave higher yields (57%) than the liquid-liquid method. Ammonoloysis of 3b furnished the diamino nucleoside 3c . Compound 1 was less acid sensitive at the N-glycosydic bond than 2′,3′-dideoxyguanosine ( 2 ).     

Polyazasteroids II.. 1,2,4-Triazolol[3′,4′:2,3]pyrimido[4,5-c]quinolin- 11(12H)ones,imidazo[2′,1′:2,3]pyrimido[4,5-c]quinolin-11(12H)ones and 2,3-dihydroimidazo[2′,1′:2,3] pyrimido[4,5-c]quinolin-11(12H)ones

Starting with 2-substituted quinoline-3,4-dicarboxylic acids, a series of substituted 1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyrimido[4,5-c]quinolinone-3-thiones were obtained. The latter compounds were converted to the three novel polyazasteroid series: 1,2,4-Triazolo[3′,4′:2,3]pyrimido[4,5-c]-quinolin-11(12H)ones, imidazo[2′,1′:2,3]pyrimido[4,5c]quinolin-11(12H)ones and 2,3-dihydroimidazo[2′,1′:2,3]pyrimido[4,5-c]quinolin-11(12H)ones. The intermediate 3-hydrazino-1,2-dihydropyrimido[4,5-c]quinolinones and nitrous acid gave the 3-azido derivatives rather than the tetrazolo compounds.     

Synthesis of representative 10-aryl-, 10-aralkyl- and 10-heteraryl-9H-naphtho[1′,2′:4,5]thiazolo[3,2-b]- [1,2,4]triazin-9-ones as potential anti-HIV agents

To prepare the title compounds, cyclocondensation of 1-amino-2-iminonaphtho[1,2-d]thiazole ( 2 ) with some representative glyoxylic acid derivatives was investigated. Heating 2 with methyl phenylglyoxylate ( 3a ) in methanol afforded only the open chain intermediates 4a,b . However, when this reaction was performed in re-fluxing glacial acetic acid, the expected compound, 10-phenyl-9H-naphtho[1′,2′:4,5]thiazolo[3,2-b][1,2,4]- triazin-9-one ( 5a ) was produced in 27% yield. Similar treatment of 2 with benzyl-, 2-furyl- and 2-thienylgly-oxylic acids 3b-d gave the corresponding 10-benzyl-, 10-(2-furyl)- and 10-(2-thienyl)-9H-naphtho[1′,2′:4,5]thi-azolo[3,2-b][1,2,4]triazin-9-ones 5b-d in 48–67% yields. As by-products, 9-benzoyl- and 9-(2-thenoyl)naphtho-[1′,2′:4,5]thiazolo[3,2-b][1,2,4]triazoles 6a,d were also isolated. Compound 5a was selected for in vitro anti-HIV evaluation but found to be inactive.     

Synthesis of 5H-pyridazino[4,5-b]indoles and their benzofurane analogues utilizing an intramolecular Heck-type reaction

The title ring systems were prepared from pyridazin-3(2H)-one precursors in novel, efficient pathways. 2-Methylbenzo[b]furo[2,3-d]pyridazin-1(2H)-one was synthesized via a regioselective nucleophilic substitution reaction of a 2-methyl-4,5-dihalopyridazin-3(2H)-one with phenol followed by an intramolecular Heck-type reaction. The same molecule and its 6-phenyl analogue were also prepared via reaction of 2-methyl-5-iodopyridazin-3(2H)-one or 2-methyl-5-chloro-6-phenylpyridazin-3(2H)-one, respectively, with 2-bromophenol or 2-iodophenol followed by Pd-catalyzed cyclodehydrohalogenation. Moreover, a new approach for the synthesis of 2-methyl-2,5-dihydro-1H-pyridazino[4,5-b]indol-1-ones was also elaborated utilizing a Heck-type ring closure reaction on 5-[(2-bromophenyl)amino]-2-methylpyridazin-3(2H)-ones which were obtained via Buchwald-Hartwig amination of 2-methyl-5-halopyridazin-3(2H)-ones with 2-bromoaniline.

Decomposition of the diazonium sulfate derived from N-methyl-(1,3-diphenylpyrazol-5-yl)-2-aminobenzamide gave products formulated as 7,9-dimethyldibenzo[e,g]pyrazolo[1,5-a][1,3]-diazocin-10-(9H)one (yield 8%), 4-methyl-1,3-diphenylpyrazolo[3,4-c]isoquinolin-5-one (yield 7%) and 4′-hydroxy-2-methyl-1′,3′-diphenylspiro[isoindoline-1,5′-[2]pyrazolin]3-one (yield 10%). The spiro compounds 6a,b underwent thermal and acid-catalysed conversion into the hitherto unknown 2-benzopyrano[4,3-c]pyrazole ring system 7a,b in good yield. Analytical and spectral data are presented which supported the structures proposed.     

Electrophilic heterocyclization of 6-alken(yn)ylsulfanyl-pyrazolo[3,4-<Emphasis Type="Italic">d</Emphasis>]pyrimidin-4(5<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>)-ones

6-Allylsulfanyl-1-arylpyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-4(5H)-ones react with iodine and sulfuric acid to give angular pyrazolothiazolopyrimidine derivatives. The reaction of 6-(prop-2-yn-1-ylsulfanyl)-1-(4-tolyl)-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-4(5H)-one with sulfuric acid gives angularly fused pyrazolo[4,3-e][1,3]thiazolo-[3,2-a]pyrimidin-4-one, whereas in the reaction with sodium methoxide linearly fused pyrazolo[3,4-d][1,3]-thiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidin-4-one was formed. Linearly fused pyrazolo[3′,4′:4,5]pyrimido[2,1-b][1,3]thiazole derivatives were also obtained by reaction of 1-aryl-6-(3-phenylprop-2-en-1-ylsulfanyl)pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-4(5H)-ones with sulfuric acid.     

Synthesis of derivatives of pyrido[3′,2′:4,5]furo[3,2-c]isoquinoline heterocyclic system

An approach to the synthesis of derivatives of new heterocyclic system, pyrido[3′,2′:4,5]-furo[3,2-c]isoquinoline, was suggested. A condensation reaction of substituted 3-cyanopyridin-2(1H)-ones with methyl 2-(chloromethyl)benzoate and subsequent treatment of the condensation product with potassium tert-butoxide leads to substituted pyrido[3′,2′:4,5]furo[3,2-c]-isoquinolin-5(6H)-ones. Similarly, a condensation reaction of substituted 3-cyanopyridin-2(1H)-ones with 2-(chloromethyl)benzonitrile and subsequent treatment of the condensation product with potassium tert-butoxide gives substituted 5-aminopyrido[3′,2′:4,5]furo[3,2-c]-isoquinolines.     

Synthesis of 2′-deoxyribofuranosyl indole nucleosides related to the antibiotics SF-2140 and neosidomycin

The 2′-deoxyribofuranose analog of the naturally occurring antibiotics SF-2140 and neosidomycin were prepared by the direct glycosylation of the sodium salts of the appropriate indole derivatives, with 1-chloro-2- deoxy-3,5-di-O-p-toluoyl-α-D-erythropentofuranose ( 5 ). Thus, treatment of the sodium salt of 4-methoxy-1H- indol-3-ylacetonitrile ( 4a ) with 5 provided the blocked nucleoside, 4-methoxy-1-(2-deoxy-3,5-di-O-p-toluoyl-β- D-erythropentofuranosyl)-1H-indol-3-ylacetonitrile ( 6a ), which was treated with sodium methoxide to yield the SF-2140 analog, 4-methoxy-1-(2-deoxy-β-D-erythropentofuranosyl)-1H-indol-3- ylacetonitrile ( 7a ). The neosidomycin analog ( 8 ) was prepared by treatment of the sodium salt of 1H-indol-3-ylacetonitrile ( 4b ) with 5 to obtain the blocked intermediate 1-(2-deoxy-3,5-di-O-p-toluoyl-β-D-erythropentofuranosyl) ?1H-indol-3-ylace-tonitrile ( 6b ) followed by sodium methoxide treatment to give 1-(2-deoxy-β-D-erythropentofuranosyl)-1H- indol-3-ylacetonitrile ( 7b ) and finally conversion of the nitrile function of 7b to provide 1-(2-deoxy-β-D- erythropentofuranosyl)-1H-indol-3-ylacetamide ( 8 ). In a similar manner, indole ( 9a ) and several other substituted indoles including 1H-indole-4-carbonitrile ( 9b ), 4-nitro-1H-indole ( 9c ), 4-chloro-1H-indole-2-carboxamide ( 9d ) and 4-chloro-1H-indole-2-carbonitrile ( 9e ) were each glycosylated and deprotected to provide 1-(2-deoxy-β-D-erythropentofuranosyl)-1H-indole ( 11a ), 1-(2-deoxy-β-D-erythropentofuranosyl)-1H-indole-4- carbonitrile ( 11b ), 4-nitro-1-(2-deoxy-β-D-erythropentofuranosyl)-1H-indole ( 11c ), 4-chloro-1-(2-deoxy-β-D- erythropentofuranosyl)-1H-indole-2-carboxamide ( 11d ) and 4-chloro-1-(2-deoxy-β-D-erythropentofuranosyl)- 1H-indole-2-carbonitrile ( 11e ), respectively. The 2′-deoxyadenosine analog in the indole ring system was prepared for the first time by reduction of the nitro group of 11c using palladium on carbon thus providing 4-amino-1-(2-deoxy-β-D-erythropentofuranosyl)- 1H-indole ( 16 , 1,3,7-trideaza-2′-deoxyadenosine).     

Isatins 3-C annulation vs ring-opening: Two different pathways for synthesis of spiro compounds via multicomponent reactions

An efficient synthesis of spiro compounds via two different pathways from the reactions of isatins, 3-phenylisoxazol-5(4H)-one (3-ethylisoxazol-5(4H)-one), and pyrazol-5-amine (6-aminopyrimidine-2,4(1H,3H)-dione) were reported. The catalyst Amberlyst-15 could be easy recycled and reused for many time without any appreciable loss in catalytic activity. The new type spiro compounds were gained through the ring-opening of isatins process. The structures of spiro[indoline-3,4′-isoxazolo[5,4-b]pyrazolo[4,3-e]pyridin]-2-one, spiro[isoxazolo[5,4-b]quino line-4,5′-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidine]-2′,4′,6′(1′H,3′H,7′H)-trione, and spiro[indoline-3,4′-pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridine]-2,6′(5′H)-dione were successfully confirmed by ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, HRMS, and X-ray crystal diffraction analysis.     

Spirocyclization of 1-(o-aminophenyl)cycloalkanols and 1-(2′-amino-3′-pyridinyl)cycloalkanols

AN UNUSUAL ADDITION AND RING-CLOSURE REACTION OF 1-(2-BROMOETHYL)-2,3-DIHYDRO- 3-PROPYL-1,3,2-BENZO-DIAZAPHOSPHORIN-4(1H)-ONE 2-OXIDE WITH CARBON DISULFIDE FOR A NEW AND CONVENIENT SYNTHESIS OF THE FUSED PHOSPHORUS HETEROCYCLIC COMPOUND

ABSTRACT

The reaction of 1-(2-bromoethyl)-2,3-dihydro-3-propyl-1,3,2-benzodiazaphosphorin-4(1H)-one 2-oxide with carbon disulfide takes an alternative pathway in the use of different bases. The sodium hydride mediated reaction leads to the formation of the tricyclic fused 1,2,3,4,4a,4b,5,6-octahydro-6-oxo-5-propyl-4-thia-3,4b,4a-thiazphosphaphenanthridine 4a-oxide via addition of H-P bond across the double bond of carbon disulfide followed by intramolecular cyclization. In the presence of triethylamine, refluxing a mixture of 1-(2-bromoethyl)-2,3-dihydro-3-propyl-1,3,2-benzodiazaphosphorin-4(1H)-one 2-oxide with carbon disulfide in benzene takes an unusual course with formation in excellent yield of the first example of fused phosphorus heterocyclic 4-[1′-(β-bromoethyl)-4′-oxo- 3′-propyl-1′,2′,3′,4′-tetrahydro-1,3,2-benzodiazaphosphorin-2′- sulfide]-1,2,3,4,4a,4b,5,6-octahydro-6-oxo-5-propyl-3,4b, 4a-thiazphosphaphenanthridine 4a,2′-dioxide, which was confirmed by spectroscopic methods, microanalyses and single crystal X-ray structure determination.
