Potential antimicrobial agents: Trifluoromethyl‐10H‐phenothiazines and ribofuranosides

The zinc salts of substituted 2‐amino benzenethiols, on condensation with 2‐chloro‐3‐nitro‐5‐trifluoromethyl benzene, in presence of sodium acetate and ethanol and subsequent formylation gave the corresponding 2‐formamido‐substituted diphenylsulfides. From them substituted 2‐trifluoromethyl‐10H‐phenothiazines have been synthesized via Smiles rearrangement. Ribofuranosides α‐ and β‐ anomers were synthesized by the condensation of phenothiazines with sugar in toluene in presence of SnCl₄ at 0°C and 155–160°C, respectively. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

7‐Halogenated 7‐Deazapurine 2′‐Deoxyribonucleosides Related to 2′‐Deoxyadenosine, 2′‐Deoxyxanthosine,and 2′‐Deoxyisoguanosine: Syntheses and Properties

A series of 7‐fluorinated 7‐deazapurine 2′‐deoxyribonucleosides related to 2′‐deoxyadenosine, 2′‐deoxyxanthosine, and 2′‐deoxyisoguanosine as well as intermediates 4b – 7b, 8, 9b, 10b , and 17b were synthesized. The 7‐fluoro substituent was introduced in 2,6‐dichloro‐7‐deaza‐9H‐purine ( 11a ) with Selectfluor (Scheme 1). Apart from 2,6‐dichloro‐7‐fluoro‐7‐deaza‐9H‐purine ( 11b ), the 7‐chloro compound 11c was formed as by‐product. The mixture 11b / 11c was used for the glycosylation reaction; the separation of the 7‐fluoro from the 7‐chloro compound was performed on the level of the unprotected nucleosides. Other halogen substituents were introduced with N‐halogenosuccinimides ( 11a → 11c – 11e ). Nucleobase‐anion glycosylation afforded the nucleoside intermediates 13a – 13e (Scheme 2). The 7‐fluoro‐ and the 7‐chloro‐7‐deaza‐2′‐deoxyxanthosines, 5b and 5c , respectively, were obtained from the corresponding MeO compounds 17b and 17c , or 18 (Scheme 6). The 2′‐deoxyisoguanosine derivative 4b was prepared from 2‐chloro‐7‐fluoro‐7‐deaza‐2′‐deoxyadenosine 6b via a photochemically induced nucleophilic displacement reaction (Scheme 5). The pK_a values of the halogenated nucleosides were determined (Table 3). ¹³C‐NMR Chemical‐shift dependencies of C(7), C(5), and C(8) were related to the electronegativity of the 7‐halogen substituents (Fig. 3). In aqueous solution, 7‐halogenated 2′‐deoxyribonucleosides show an approximately 70% S population (Fig. 2 and Table 1).     

4‐Chloro‐3′‐methylsulfinyl‐5(6 or 8)‐nitro‐3,4′‐diquinolinyl sulfides

Reaction of 4‐chloro‐3′‐methylthio‐3,4′‐diquinolinyl sulfides 3, 9b, 9c with a nitrating mixture proceeds via the 3′‐methylthio group monooxidation and yields 3′‐methylsulfinyl diquinolinyl sulfides 4, 5b, 5c , respectively. Further treatment of 4 with a nitrating mixture followed as C₅‐ and C₈‐nitration and gives mixture of 5a and 5c. Treatment of 3′‐methylsulfinyl quinolines 6 and 7 with hydrochloric acid/potassium iodide system causes reduction of the sulfoxide group in 6 and 7 to the sulfide group yielding 8 , in case of 4‐methoxyquinolines 6 , hydrolysis of the 4‐methoxyquinoline moiety to the 4‐quinolinone moiety takes place simultaneously. The proton and carbon chemical shifts of 4 and 5a were completely assigned following COSY, HETCOR and INEPT or COLOC studies.     

Synthesis of 7-ethoxy- and 7-fluoro-phenothiazines

Synthesis of 7-ethoxy- and 7-fluoro-phenothiazines is reported by Smiles rearrangement of 5-ethoxy- and 5-fluoro-2-formamido-2′-nitrodiphenylsulfides. The later were obtained by the formylation of 2-amino-5-ethoxy/5-fluoro-2′-nitrodiphenylsulfides which were prepared by the condensation of 2-amino-5-ethoxy/5-fluoro-benzenethiols with o-halonitrobenzenes.     

Synthesis of Novel Series of 6‐Chloro‐1,1‐dioxo‐1,4,2‐benzodithiazine Derivatives with Potential Biological Activity

A series of 6′‐chloro‐1′,1′‐dioxo‐2′H‐spiro[benzo[d][1,3,7]oxadiazocine‐4,3′‐(1,4,2‐benzodithiazine)]‐2,6(1H,5H)‐dione derivatives 2a , 2b and 3a , 3b have been synthesized starting from 3‐aminobenzodithiazines 1a , 1b and isatoic anhydride. Subsequent reactions of 2a with 3‐chlorophenyl isocyanate gave condensation products 4 and 5 . Compound 2a was also converted into 3‐(2‐aminobenzamido)‐6‐chloro‐7‐methyl‐1,1‐dioxo‐1,4,2‐benzodithiazine derivatives 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 . The mechanisms of the reactions are discussed.     

4‐Hydroxy‐2‐vinyl‐2,3,4,5‐tetrahydro‐1‐benzazepine and its 7‐fluoro and 7‐chloro analogues are isomorphous but not strictly isostructural

4‐Hydroxy‐2‐vinyl‐2,3,4,5‐tetrahydro‐1‐benzazepine, C₁₂H₁₅NO, (I), and its 7‐fluoro and 7‐chloro analogues, namely 7‐fluoro‐4‐hydroxy‐2‐vinyl‐2,3,4,5‐tetrahydro‐1‐benzazepine, C₁₂H₁₄FNO, (II), and 7‐chloro‐4‐hydroxy‐2‐vinyl‐2,3,4,5‐tetrahydro‐1‐benzazepine, C₁₂H₁₄ClNO, (III), are isomorphous, but with variations in the unit‐cell dimensions which preclude in compound (III) one of the weaker intermolecular interactions found in compounds (I) and (II). Thus the compounds are not strictly isostructural in terms of the structurally significant intermolecular interactions, although the corresponding atomic coordinates are very similar. The azepine rings adopt chair conformations. The molecules are linked by a combination of N—H...O and O—H...N hydrogen bonds into chains of edge‐fused R³₃(10) rings, which in compounds (I) and (II) are further linked into sheets by a single C—H...π(arene) hydrogen bond. The significance of this study lies in its observation of isomorphism in compounds (I)–(III), and its observation of a sufficient variation in one of the cell dimensions effectively to alter the range of significant hydrogen bonds present in the crystal structures.     

Synthesis of 6‐Fluoro‐7‐cyclic Amino‐substituted Dicarboxylic Acid Quinolones and their Antibacterial Activity

Novel 1‐carboxymethyl‐6‐fluoro‐7‐cyclic amino‐substituted‐4‐oxo‐1,4‐dihydroquinolone‐3‐carboxylic acids 7a , 7b , 7c , 7d , 7e , 7f , 7g , 7h , 7i , 7j , 7k , 7l , 7m , 7n were synthesized as a new class of quinolones. Ethyl‐6‐fluoro‐7‐chloro‐1,4‐dihydro‐4‐quinoline‐3‐carboxylic acid was prepared from conventional method and reacted with ethyl bromoacetate to furnish N‐carboxymethyl derivatives. The compounds were screed against various Gram‐positive and Gram‐negative bacterial strains. Antibacterial activity data is validated by molecular docking studies.

The palladium/copper(I) iodide cocatalyzed coupling reaction of (Z)‐α‐fluoro‐β‐trifluoromethylstannanes ( 1 ) with vinyl iodides ( 2 ) has been explored giving substituted α‐fluoro‐β‐trifluoromethyl dienes ( 3 ) in 33–95% yields. In studies we have conducted so far, a larger number of the configurations of the products remained unchanged (cases 3a, 3e–h ), though in several cases (cases 3b–d ) two configurations of the products were obtained. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

A new kind of UV stabilizers, 1‐(3′‐(benzotriazol‐2″‐yl)‐4′‐hydroxy‐benzoyl)‐3‐methyl‐5‐pyrazolones (1a‐d), was synthesized with the aim to bind them chemically to certain polymers. The reaction of 1d with substituted benzaldehydes 4 in the molten state at 150°C and in the solid state at room temperature produced the condensation products l‐(3′‐(5″‐chlorobenzotriazol‐2″‐yl)‐4′‐hydroxyl‐5′‐chlorobenzoyl)‐3‐methyl‐4‐arylmethylene‐5‐pyrazolones (2) and 4,4′‐arylmethylene‐bis [1‐(3′‐(5″‐chloro‐benzotriazol‐2″‐yl)‐4′‐hydroxy‐5′‐chloro‐benzoyl)‐3‐methyl‐5‐pyrazolone] s (3), respectively, as the major product. On the other hand, the reaction of 1d with 4 at 50°C in chloroform solution proceeded non‐selectively to give a mixture of 2 and 3.     

SYNTHESIS OF SULFONES OF 4H-1,4-BENZOTHIAZINES AND PHENOTHIAZINES

Conversion of 5/7-chloro-4H-1,4-benzothiazines and 1/3-chlorophenothiazines into sulfones is reported. The 5/7-chloro-4H-1,4-benzothiazines were synthesized by the condensation and oxidative cyclization of 2-amino 3/5-chlorobenzenethiol with β diketones in DMSO. The phenothiazines have been synthesized via Smiles rearrangement by the reaction of 2-amino-3/5-chlorobenzenethiol with halonitrobenzenes. 4H-1,4-Benzothiazine and phenothiazine sulfones have been prepared by the oxidation of benzothiazines and phenothiazines with 30% hydrogen peroxide in glacial acetic acid. The structure of all the synthesized compounds has been confirmed by IR and NMR spectral studies.

Several new pyrimido[4,5‐e ][1,2,4]triazolo[3,4‐b ][1,3,4]thiadiazine derivatives ( 5a , 5b , 5c , 5d , 5e , 5f , 5g ) were synthesized through the condensation reaction of 5‐bromo‐4,6‐dichloropyrimidine ( 1 ) and 4‐amino‐5‐methyl‐4H‐1,2,4‐triazole‐3‐thiol ( 2 ). The single crystal X‐ray data of one of the derivatives confirmed the occurrence of the S/N type Smiles rearrangement during the course of the reaction.     

2‐Amino‐8‐(2‐deoxy‐2‐fluoro‐β‐D‐arabinofuranosyl)imidazo[1,2‐a]‐1,3,5‐triazin‐4(8H)‐one: Synthesis and Conformation of a 5‐Aza‐7‐deazaguanine Fluoronucleoside

Nucleobase‐anion glycosylation of 2‐[(2‐methyl‐1‐oxopropyl)amino]imidazo[1,2‐a]‐1,3,5‐triazin‐4(8H)‐one ( 6 ) with 3,5‐di‐O‐benzoyl‐2‐deoxy‐2‐fluoro‐α‐D ‐arabinofuranosyl bromide ( 8 ) furnishes a mixture of the benzoyl‐protected anomeric 2‐amino‐8‐(2‐deoxy‐2‐fluoro‐D ‐arabinofuranosyl)imidazo[1,2‐a]‐1,3,5‐triazin‐4(8H)‐ones 9 / 10 in a ratio of ca. 1 : 1. After deprotection, the inseparable anomeric mixture 3 / 4 was silylated. The obtained 5‐O‐[(1,1‐dimethylethyl)diphenylsilyl] derivatives 11 and 12 were separated and desilylated affording the nucleoside 3 and its α‐D anomer 4 . Similar to 2′‐deoxy‐2′‐fluoroarabinoguanosine, the conformation of the sugar moiety is shifted from S towards N by the fluoro substituent in arabino configuration.     

Synthesis of 3‐phenyl‐5‐(trifluoromethyl)isoxazole and 5‐phenyl‐3‐(trifluoromethyl)isoxazole

Reaction of 4,4,4‐trifluoro‐1‐phenyl‐1,3‐butanedione with hydroxylamine led to the formation of 5‐hydroxy‐3‐phenyl‐5‐(trifluoromethyl)‐4,5‐dihydroisoxazole which was dehydrated to 3‐phenyl‐5‐(trifluoro‐methyl)isoxazole. This isomer can also be synthesized by reaction of 4‐chloro‐4‐phenyl‐1,1,1‐trifluoro‐3‐buten‐2‐one with sodium azide. The regioisomer, 5‐phenyl‐3‐(trifluoromethyl)isoxazole was synthesized by reaction of 1,1,1‐trifluoro‐4‐phenylbut‐3‐yn‐2‐one with hydroxylamine and by the reaction of 3‐chloro‐1‐phenyl‐4,4,4‐trifluorobut‐2‐en‐1‐one with sodium azide. Both isomers were characterized by mass and NMR spectroscopy.     

Nucleic acid related compounds. 114. Synthesis of 2,6‐(disubstituted)purine 2′,3′‐dideoxynucleosides and selected cytotoxic,anti‐hepatitis b,and adenosine deaminase substrate activities

Selected 2,6‐(disubstituted)purine 2′,3′‐didehydro‐2′,3′‐dideoxynucleosides and 2′,3′‐dideoxynucleosides were prepared and evaluated. Treatment of 5′‐protected ribonucleosides with phenoxythiocarbonyl chloride and 4‐(dimethylamino)pyridine, or under Schotten‐Baumann conditions, gave high yields of 2′,3′‐O‐thiono‐carbonates that underwent Corey‐Winter elimination. Treatment of unprotected ribonucleosides with α‐ace‐toxyisobutyryl bromide in “moist” acetonitrile gave trans 2′,3′‐bromohydrin acetate mixtures that underwent reductive elimination with zinc‐copper couple or zinc/acetic acid. Catalytic hydrogenation of the resulting 2′,3′‐enes gave 2′,3′‐dideoxynucleosides. Treatment of the 2‐amino‐6‐chloropurine and 6‐amino‐2‐fluoro‐purine derivatives with nucleophiles gave 2,6‐(disubstituted)purine 2′,3′‐dideoxynucleosides. 2′,3′‐Dideoxyguanosine and the 2‐amino‐6‐[amino ( 16d ), methoxy ( 16b ), ethoxy ( 16c ), and methylamino ( 16j )]purine 2′,3′‐dideoxynucleosides showed good anti‐hepatitis B activity with infected primary duck hepatocytes. Cytotoxic effects with selected analogues were evaluated in human T‐lymphoblastic and promyelocytic leukemia cell lines. The 2‐amino‐6‐fluoro derivative 16m was the most cytotoxic of the 2‐amino‐6‐(substituted)purine 2′,3′‐dideoxynucleosides, and 2‐fluoro‐2′,3′‐dideoxyadenosine ( 21a ) was the most cytotoxic compound. The order of efficiency of hydrolysis of the 6‐substituent from 2‐amino‐6‐(sub‐stituted)purine 2′,3′‐dideoxynucleosides (V_max/K_m) with adenosine deaminase from calf intestine was: 2‐amino‐6‐[amino ( 16d ) > methoxy ( 16b ) > ethoxy ( 16c )], all of which were ≤3% of the efficiency with adenosine. The 6‐methylamino derivative 16j , as well as 16b , 16c , and 16d were readily converted into 2′,3′‐dideoxyguanosine by duck cell supernatants.

The structures of the compounds synthesized were confirmed by elemental analyses, IR, 1H NMR and mass spectra. The antibacterial activities were also evaluated.     

Analogues of antipsychotic phenothiazines. 10-(β-dialkylamino) ethylaminophenothiazines

A series of 10-(β-dialkylaniino) ethylarninophenothiazines III was obtained by lithium alumi-um hydride reduction of 10-dialkylaminoacetylaminophenothiazines II. Compounds II were synthesized by intramolecular cyclization, via a Smiles rearrangement, of 2-nitro-2′-(β-dialkyl-aminoacetyl) hydrazinodiphenyl sulfides I and XI, which in turn were best prepared by condensation of the appropriate dialkylaminoacetic acid hydrochloride with the corresponding 2-nitro-2′-hydrazinodiphenyl sulfide in the presence of dicyclohexyl carbodiimide. Other attempted methods for the synthesis of compounds 1 are also described.     

Derivatives of 2,3‐dihydroimidazo[1,5,4‐ef][1,2,5]‐benzothiadiazepin‐6(4h,7h)‐thione 1,1‐dioxide,a new heterocyclic system related to tibo

The synthesis of derivatives of 2,3‐dihydroimidazo[1,5,4‐ef][1,2,5]benzothiadiazepin‐6(4H,7H)‐thione 1,1‐dioxide is reported starting from N‐substituted ethyl 2‐(5‐chloro‐2‐nitrobenzenesulfonamido)‐2‐alkyl‐acetates. Fundamental steps of the synthetic pathway were: i) intramolecular cyclization of N‐substituted 2‐(2‐amino‐5‐chlorobenzenesulfonamido)‐2‐alkylacetic acids in the presence of N‐(3‐dimethyl‐aminopropyl)‐N′‐ethyl carbodiimide hydrochloride‐N,N‐dimethylaminopyridine complex; ii) building of imidazole ring from 2‐alkyl‐8‐chloro‐2,3‐dihydro‐3‐methyl‐1,2,5‐benzothiadiazepin‐4(5H)‐one 1,1‐dioxide to achieve 2‐alkyl‐9‐chloro‐2,3‐dihydro‐3‐methylimidazo[1,5,4‐ef][1,2,5]benzothiadiazepin‐6(4H,7H)‐one 1,1‐dioxide; iii) preparation of thiocarbonyl derivative by treatment with Lawesson's reagent. Introduction of a 3‐methyl‐2‐butenyl chain at position 2 of above imidazobenzothiadiazepinone required protection at the 7 position with thermally removable tert‐butoxycarbonyl moiety, due to the fact that alkylation of unprotected structure proved to be regioselective for the 7 position.     

Synthesis and characterization of novel polyimides with 2,2‐bis[4(4‐aminophenoxy)phenyl]phthalein‐3′,5′‐bis(trifluoromethyl)anilide

2,2‐Bis[4(4‐aminophenoxy)phenyl]phthalein‐3′,5′‐bis(trifluoromethyl)anilide (6FADAP), containing fluorine and phthalimide moieties, was synthesized via the Williamson ether condensation reaction from 1‐chloro‐4‐nitrobenzene and phenolphthalein‐3′,5′‐bis(trifluoromethyl)anilide, which was followed by hydrogenation. Monomers such as 2,2‐bis[4(4‐aminophenoxy)phenyl]phthalein‐anilide containing phthalimide groups and 2,2‐bis[4(4‐aminophenoxy)phenyl]phthalein containing only phthalein moieties were also synthesized for comparison. The monomers were first characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), ¹H NMR, ¹⁹F NMR, elemental analysis, and titration and were then used to prepare polyimides with 2,2‐bis(3,4‐dicarboxyphenyl)hexafluoropropane dianhydride. The polyimides were designed to have molecular weights of 20,000 g/mol via off‐stoichiometry and were characterized by FTIR, NMR, gel permeation chromatography (GPC), differential scanning calorimetry, and thermogravimetric analysis. Their solubility, water absorption, dielectric constant, and refractive index were also evaluated. The polyimides prepared with 6FADAP, containing fluorine and phthalimide moieties, had excellent solubility in N‐methylpyrrolidinone, N,N‐dimethylacetamide, tetrahydrofuran, CHCl₃, tetrachloroethane, and acetone, and GPC analysis showed a molecular weight of 18,700 g/mol. The polyimides also exhibited a high glass‐transition temperature (290 °C), good thermal stability (～500 °C in air), low water absorption (1.9 wt %), a low dielectric constant (2.81), a low refractive index, and low birefringence (0.0041). © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
