Synthesis of 3-aminomethyl-2-aryl- 8-bromo-6-chlorochromones

[reaction: see text] An efficient synthetic route to Cbz-protected 3-aminomethyl-2-aryl-8-bromo-6-chlorochromones has been developed. 3-Aryl-1-(3-bromo-5-chloro-2-hydroxyphenyl)-2-propen-1-one or 2-aryl-8-bromo-6-chlorochroman-4-one could be reacted under Mannich conditions yielding 2-aryl-8-bromo-6-chloro-3-methylenechroman-4-one, which was further converted to the target compound via an aza-Michael reaction followed by an SeO(2) oxidation. This procedure represents a new method to introduce a primary aminomethyl group at the 3-position of a 2-arylchromone scaffold. The Cbz-protected 3-aminomethyl-2-aryl-8-bromo-6-chlorochromones can, e.g., be used in the synthesis of chromone-based beta-turn peptidomimetics.     

Reactions of 1-aryl-2-bromo-3,4,4-trichlorobut-3-en-1-ones with some nucleophilic reagents

Reactions of 2-bromo-1-phenyl- and 2-bromo-1-(4-methylphenyl)-3,4,4-trichlorobut-3-en-1-ones with morpholine and diethylamine are accompanied by prototropic allylic rearrangement, leading to 3-amino-1-aryl-2-bromo-4,4-dichlorobut-2-en-1-ones as mixtures of E and Z isomers. The title compounds react with hydrazine, hydroxylamine, and thiourea to give the corresponding 5-aroyl-4-methoxypyrazoles, 3-aryl-5-hydroxyiminomethyl-4-methoxyisoxazoles, and 2-amino-4-aryl-5-trichlorovinylthiazoles.     

Regioselective arylation of 3-bromopyridine

The addition of aryl Grignard reagents to the 1-phenoxycarbonyl salt of 3-bromopyridine affords 2-aryl-5-bromo-1-phenoxycarbonyl-1,2-dihydropyridines and 4-aryl-3-bromo-1-phenoxycarbonyl-1,4-dihydropyridines. The crude dihydropyridines were aromatized with o-chloranil in refluxing toluene to give 4- and 6-aryl-3-bromopyridines. The regioselectivity of this two-step process, 6- vs. 4-substitution, was examined and found to be dependent upon the structure of the Grignard reagent. Unhindered aryl Grignard reagents, e.g., phenyl and 2-naphthyl, gave mainly 6-aryl-3-bromopyridines (49-52%) along with 9% of the 4-substituted isomer and less than 4% of the 2-aryl-3-bromopyridine. Hindered aryl Grignard reagents, e.g., o-tolyl and 1-naphthyl, are less regioselective. When a catalytic amount of cuprous iodide is present during the Grignard reaction, nearly exclusive 1,4-addition results. The crude 4-aryl-3-bromo-1,4-dihydropyridines were aromatized with p-chloranil to provide 4-aryl-3-bromopyridines in good yield and high isomeric purity. The sequential use of the cuprous iodide-catalyzed Grignard reaction and the “normal” Grignard reaction provided a regiospeci-fic synthesis of 3-bromo-6-(p-methoxyphenyl)-4-phenylpyridine from 3-bromopyridine.

X-ray diffraction structural analysis yielded the molecular and crystal structures of 7-bromo-3-(4′-methoxybenzylidene)-5-phenyl-1,2-dihydro-3H-1,4-diazepin-2-one and showed that this compound has cis configuration. Radioligand analysis was used to study the affinity of these products toward central nervous system and peripheral benzodiazepine receptors. __________ Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 8, pp. 1213–1225, August, 2007.
