Chelation of manganese(II) with quinaldic acids. An NMR relaxation study

Manganese(II) enhanced spin-lattice relaxation rates (1/T_1p) of ¹H and ¹³C nuclei in quinoline-2-carboxylic acid, 8-methoxyquinoline-2-carboxylic acid, 8-hydroxyquinoline-2-carboxylic acid, 8-aminoquinoline-2-carboxylic acid, and 6-(hydroxymethyl)pyridine-2-carboxylic acid were measured in aqueous solution at various temperatures. Relative metal-nucleus distances were calculated from the r^?6 dependence of 1/T_1p. The results indicate that the Mn²⁺ ion in the 8-methoxyquinaldic acid chelate is coordinated to the carboxyl oxygen atom and the nitrogen atom but not t the methoxyl oxygen atom.     

Synthesis of 1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-a]quinoline-9-, 1,2,3,4-tetrazolo[4,3-a]quinoline-9 and 1,2,4-triazino[4,3-a]quinoline-10-carboxylic acids from 2-chloro- and 2-hydrazinocinchoninic acids

Treatment of 2-chlorocinchoninic acid with hydrazine gives 2-hydrazinocinchoninic acid and with aroylhydrazines to give 1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-a]quinoline-9-carboxylic acids. These are also prepared by the action of benzoyl chloride or the carboxylic acid on 2-hydrazinocinchoninic acid. With pyruvic acid the latter gives 3-methyl-4-oxo-1,2,4-triazino[4,3-a]quinoline-10-carboxylic acid and with nitrous acid gives 1,2,3,4-tetrazolo[4,3-a]quinoline-9-carboxylic acid.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 9, pp. 1227–1229, September, 1991.     

Conversion of the carboxyl group to the corresponding trichloromethyl group in the quinoline series

Various substituted quinaldinic acids were treated with phosphorus pentachloride in an excess of thionyl chloride. Carboxyl groups of quinaldinic acid, 6-methyl-, 6-chloro-, 4-phenyl- and 4-(p-chlorophenyl)quinaldinic acids and benzo[f]quinoline-3-carboxylic acid were converted to the trichloromethyl group, while those of 8-methyl-, 4-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-, 4-(p-nitrophenyl)-quinaldinic acids and benzo[h]quinoline-2-carboxylic acid were not. The difference is discussed on the basis of the effects of the basicity of ring nitrogen and steric factors.     

Synthesis and antibacterial activity of 1-(substituted-benzyl)-6-fluoro-1,4-dihydro-4-oxoquinoline-3-carboxylic acids and their 6,8-difluoro analogs

Alkylation of 6,7-difluoro-4-hydroxyquinoline-3-carboxylic acid ethyl ester with substituted-benzyl chlorides gave 1-(substituted-benzyl)-6,7-difluoro-1,4-dihydro-4-oxoquinoline-3-carboxylic acid ethyl esters. Their treatment with piperazine or N-methylpiperazine in pyridine yielded 1-(substituted-benzyl)-6-fluoro-1,4-dihydro-4-oxo-7-(l-piperazinyl)quinoline-3-carboxylic acid ethyl esters which were hydrolyzed with aqueous sodium hydroxide and then acidified with hydrochloric acid afforded the desired 1-(substituted-benzyl)-6-fluoro-1,4-dihydro-4-oxo-7-(1-iperazinyl)quinoline-3-carboxylic acids. The 6,8-difluoro analogs were prepared similarly using 6,7,8-trifluoro-4-hydroxyquinoline-3-carboxylic acid ethyl ester as a starting material. Some of these quinolones demonstrated fairly good antibacterial activities. Among them, 6-fluoro-1-(4-fluorophenylmethyl)-1,4-dihydro-7-(1-iperazinyl)-4-oxoquinoline-3-carboxylic acid ( 7d ) and 6,8-difluoro-1-(3-fluorophenylmethyl)-1,4-dihydro-7-(1-piperazinyl)-4-oxoquinoline-3-carboxylic acid ( 8c ) are two of the best.     

Isocyanates of the quinoline series

The isocyanates obtained by rearrangement of azides of quinaldic and quinoline-2,4-di-carboxylic acids exist as trimers. A number of urethanes were obtained by the decomposition of these azides ta the presence of alcohols. The possibility of the use of the azide of quinoline-2,4-carboxylic acid to obtain polymers was investigated.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 4, pp. 527–528, April, 1972.     

Heterocyclic ketones in the pfitzinger reaction

By the reaction of isatin with heterocyclic ketones (N-tert-butoxycarbonyl derivatives of pyrrolidin-3-one, piperidin-4-one, piperidin-3-one, 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinolin-4-one, 8-azabicyclo[3.2.1]octan-3-one, tetrahydropyran-4-one, tetrahydrobenzopyran-4-one) in the presence of KOH (the Pfitzinger reaction) were synthesized quinoline-4-carboxylic acids [4,3]fused with the respective heterocycles. These acids were involved in the reactions with diazomethane and amines at the carboxy group leading to methyl esters and amides, respectively. The esters obtained reacted with hydrazine hydrate affording the acid hydrazides, which entered in the condensation with benzaldehyde to form phenylhydrazones. The esters and amides containing N-tert-butoxycarbonyl fragment lost the tert-butoxycarbonyl group easily to form the secondary amines dihydrochlorides, the [4,3]fused quinoline-4-carboxylic acid derivatives.     

Characterization of pyoverdins and their hydrolytic degradation products by fast atom bombardment and tandem mass spectrometry

All types of pyoverdins (siderophores produced by Pseudomonas strains) have the following ‘chromophore’ substructure in common: (1S)-5-amino-2,3-dihydro-8,9-dihydroxy-lH-pyrimido[l,2-α]quinoline-1-carboxyhic acid. Its hydrolysis product, (1S)-2,3-dihydro-5,8,9-trihydroxy-lH-pyrimido[l,2-α]quinoline-1-carboxylic acid, has been isolated and analysed for the first time by means of fast atom bombardment (FAB) and tandem mass spectrometry. This allows the pyoverdin chromophore to be identified. It was established that the fragmentation of pyoverdin [M + H]⁺ ions under FAB conditions is initiated by a retro-Diels-Alder decomposition of the tetrahydropyrimidine ring of the chromophore moiety, contributing to the structure elucidation of pyoverdins.     

Pfitzinger reaction of dialkyl(aryl)(2-methyl-4-oxopent-2-yl)phosphine oxides

New phosphorus-containing derivatives of quinoline-4-carboxylic acid were synthesized by the Pfitzinger reaction from isatin and dialkyl(aryl)(2-methyl-4-oxopent-2-yl)phosphine oxides.     

4-Hydroxy-2-quinolones 123. Amidation of 2-bromomethyl-5-oxo-1,2-dihydro-5H-oxazolo[3,2-<Emphasis Type="Italic">a</Emphasis>]-quinoline-4-carboxylic acid

The reaction of 2-bromomethyl-5-oxo-1,2-dihydro-5H-oxazolo[3,2-a]quinoline-4-carboxylic acid with thionyl chloride is accompanied by a transformation of the oxazoloquinolone ring to give 4-chloro-1-(2,3-dichloropropyl)-2-oxo-1,2-dihydroquinoline-3-carboxylic acid chloride. __________ Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 7, pp. 1034–1042, July, 2007.     

Cycloaddition of a 1,2-diaza-1,3-butadiene to phenylpropiolic acid: an efficient route to pyridazinoquinolone derivatives

Diazocoupling of dihydroquinolin-4-ones with aryldiazonium nitrates gave the corresponding diazo derivatives, which undergo facile (4+2) cycloaddition reactions with phenylpropiolic acid to afford 2-aryl-4a-methyl-10-oxo-4-phenyl-2,4a,5,10-tetrahydropyridazino[4,3-b]quinoline-3-carboxylic acid derivatives 3. However, with β-nitrostyrene a mixture of three isomeric products 4a-c was obtained.     

Synthesis and Luminescent Properties of Eu 3+ , Gd 3+ , and Tb 3+ Complexes with Quinoline-4-carboxylic Acids

New complex compounds LnL3·nH2O (n = 5–10) have been synthesized on the basis of Eu3+, Gd3+, and Tb3+ salts and quinoline-4-carboxylic acid derivatives obtained via the Pfitzinger reaction. Composition and structure of the ligands and the resulting complex compounds have been confirmed by NMR and IR spectroscopy, thermogravimetry, and complexometric titration. Europium complex with 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroacridine-9-carboxylic acid has exhibited efficient luminescence.     

Streptonigrin and lavendamycin partial structures. Preparation of 7-amino-2-(2′-pyridyl)quinoline-5,8-quinone-6′-carboxylic acid: A probe for the minimum,potent pharmacophore of the naturally occurring antitumor-antibiotics

The preparation of 7-amino-2-(2′-pyridyl)quinoline-5,8-quinone-6′-carboxylic acid (4) constituting a potential minimum, potent pharmacophore of streptonigrin (1) and lavendamycin (2) , two structurally-related naturally-occurring antitumor-antibiotic, is detailed. In contrast to observations associated with streptonigrin and lavendamycin in which the C-6′ acid potentiates the antitumor, antimicrobial, and cytotoxic activity of the naturally-occurring, substituted 7-aminoquinoline-5,8-quinone AB ring systems, the C-6′ carboxylic acid of 4 diminishes the observed antimicrobial and cytotoxic properties of 7-amino-2-(2′-pyridyl)quinoline-5,8-quinone.     

Deep Red Emitting Heteroleptic Ir(III) Complexes that Incorporate Unsymmetrical 4-quinoline Carboxylic Acid Derived Ligands

Six disubstituted ligands based upon 2-(2′-pyridinyl/pyrazinyl)quinoline-4-carboxylic acids have been synthesised, solvent-free, in one step from a range of commercially available isatin derivatives. These species behave as ancillary chelating ligands for Ir(III) complexes of the form [Ir(C^N)₂(N^N)]PF₆ (where C^N=cyclometalating ligand; N^N=2-(2′-pyridinyl/pyrazinyl)quinoline-4-carboxylic acids). An X-ray crystallographic study on one complex shows a distorted octahedral geometry wherein a cis-C,C and trans-N,N coordination mode is observed for the cyclometalating ligands. DFT calculations predicted that variations in N^N ligand from 2,2′-bipyridine to L^{1 – 6} should localise the LUMO on to the Lⁿ ligand and that the complexes are predicted to display MLCT/LLCT character. All complexes displayed luminescence in the deep red part of the visible region (674–679 nm) and emit from triplet states, but with little apparent tuning as a function of L^{1 – 6} . Further time-resolved transient absorption spectroscopy supports the participation of these triplet states to the excited state character.     

One-step furan ring formation: Synthesis of furo[3,2-h]quinolones

The one-pot reaction of ethyl 1-cyclopropyl-6,7,8-trifluoro-1,4-dihydro-4-oxoquinoline-3-carboxylate ( 6 ) with tert-butyl acetoacetate gave 3-tert-butyl 7-ethyl 9-cyclopropyl-4-fluoro-6,9-dihydro-2-methyl-6-oxofuro[3,2-h]quinoline-3,7-dicarboxylate ( 5 ). This regioselective cyclization was rationalized by the Hard and Soft Acids and Bases principle. By use of a similar furan-forming reaction, we prepared 2-(amino-methyl)furo[3,2-h]quinoline-7-carboxylic acid 4 . Compound 4 showed weak antibacterial activity.     

Synthesis of substituted 2-hydrazino- and 2-(Β-acylhydrazino)-cinchoninic acid amides and their cyclization to 1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-a]quinoline-9-carboxylic acid amides

The reaction of substituted 2-chlorocinchoninic acid amides with hydrazine hydrate or acylhydrazines gave 2-hydrazino- and 2-(-acylhydrazino)cinchoninic acid amides. The latter were also obtained by acylation of the 2-hydrazino derivatives. It is shown that 1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-a]quinoline-9-carboxylic acid amides are formed when 2-hydrazinocinchoninic acid amides are refluxed with formic or acetic acid.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 4, pp. 493–496, April, 1991.

Studies on antibacterial agents. II. Synthesis and antibacterial activities of substituted 1,2-dihydro-6-oxo-6H-pyrrolo[3,2,1-ij]quinoline-5-carboxylic acids

A series of substituted 1,2-dihydro-6-oxo-pyrrolo[3,2,1-ij]quinoline-5-carboxylic acids for the treatment of systemic infections was synthesized via 7-bromo-3-ethylthio-4,5-difluoro-2-methylindole (3), which was prepared by Gassman's indole synthesis in excellent yield. The synthesized pyrroloquinolines were tested for their antibacterial activities. 8-Fluoro-1,2-dihydro-2-methyl-9-(4-methyl-1-piperazinyl)-6-oxo-6H- pyrrolo[3,2,1-ij]quinoline-5-carboxylic acid showed a potent antibacterial activity against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria.     

Synthesis of 2-substituted cinchoninic acid amides and their cyclization into 1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-α]-quinoline-9-and 1,2,4-triazino[4,3-a]quinoline-10-carboxylic acid amides

Substituted amides of 2-hydrazino- and 2-ethylhydrazinocinchoninic acids react with pyruvic acid and its ethyl ester to give amides of 3-methyl-4-oxo-1,2,4-triazino[4,3-a]quinoline-10-carboxylic acid. On reaction with aromatic aldehydes they are converted into amides of 2-ethyl-3-phenyl-2,3-dihydro-1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-a]quinoline-9-carboxylic acid, or, in the case of unsubstituted hydrazines, into amides of 2-arylidene-hydrazinocinchoninic acid, which was oxidized to substituted 1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-a]quinolines.Perm Pharmaceutical Academy, Perm 614600.

Synthesis,Crystal Structure and Bioactivity of Phenazine-1-carboxylic Acylhydrazone Derivatives

A phenazine-1-carboxylic acid intermediate was synthesized from the reaction of aniline and 2-bromo-3-nitro-benzoic acid. It was then esterified and reacted with hydrazine hydrate to afford phenazine-1-carboxylic hydrazine. Finally, 10 new hydrazone compounds 3a–3j were obtained by the condensation reaction of phenazine-1-carboxylic acid hydrazide and the respective aldehyde-containing compound. The structures were characterized by ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectroscopy, MS and single crystal X-ray diffraction. The antitumor activity of the target compounds in vitro (HeLa and A549) was determined by thiazolyl blue tetrazolium bromide. The results showed that compound (E)-N′-(2-hydroxy-4-(2-(piperidine-1-yl) ethoxy) benzyl) phenazine-1-carbonyl hydrazide 3d exhibited good cytotoxic activity.     

1,6- and 1,7-naphthyridines. II. Synthesis from acyclic precursors

A number of 8-hydroxy-6-methyl-1,6-naphthyridin-5(6H)-one-7-carboxylic acid alkyl esters 3 and the isomeric 5-hydroxy-7-methyl-1,7-naphthyridin-8(7H)-one-6-carboxylic acid alkyl esters 4 were synthesized from acyclic precursors obtained starting from quinolinic anhydride 5. Thus, methanolysis of 5 afforded the hemiester 6 which treated with oxalyl chloride and sarcosine ethyl ester gave 3-(N-ethoxycarbonylmethyl-N-methylcarbamoyl)pyridine-2-carboxylic acid methyl ester 8. Compound 8 was cyclized to naphthyridines 3a-e with sodium alkoxides. The isomeric naphthyridines 4a-c were obtained by cyclization of the open intermediary 2-(N-ethoxycarbonylmethyl-N-methylcarbamoyl)pyridine-3-carboxylic acid methyl ester 9 obtained by a route that involves treatment of 5 with sarcosine ethyl ester and esterification with diazomethane. Spectroscopic properties (¹H nmr, uv, ir) of compounds 3 and 4 are discussed and confirmed the proposed structures.
