A novel series of 3-(1-hydroxyalkyl)-4,5,6,7-tetrahydroindazoles and their 1 and 2-alkyl-3-(1-hydroxyalkyl)-or-3-(1-acetoxyalkyl) derivatives were synthesized via condensation between 3-oxo-2,3,4,5,6,7-hexahydrobenzo[b]furans or 2-(2-acetoxyacyl)cyclohexanones and hydrazines. Structure assignment are based on ¹H and ¹³C nmr spectra.

Structures of all novel compounds were confirmed by infrared (IR), proton nuclear magnetic resonance (¹H NMR), carbon nuclear magnetic resonance (¹³C NMR), and mass spectral data. All the synthesized compounds were screened for their antibacterial activities.

Synthesis of novel 6-(substituted amino)-4-(4-ethoxyphenyl)-1-phenyl-2(1H)-pyridinones via azo coupling

Abstract  

6-(Substituted amino)-4-(4-ethoxyphenyl)-1-phenyl-2(1H)-pyridinones were prepared from β-aryl glutaconic acid, which, on fusion with aniline, results in 4-(4-ethoxyphenyl)-1-phenylpyridine-2,6(1H,5H)-dione. This, on further treatment with phosphorus oxychloride gave 6-chloro-4-(4-ethoxyphenyl)-1-phenyl-2(1H)-pyridinone, and further treatment with secondary amines yielded 6-(substituted amino)-4-(4-ethoxyphenyl)-1-phenyl-2(1H)-pyridinones. These were subjected to azo coupling with different aryldiazonium chlorides furnishing two isomers, which were separated by column chromatography. All compounds were characterized by elemental analysis, and use of IR and NMR spectral data, and were evaluated for antimicrobial activity.

Reaction of 3-(Dimethylamino)-2H-azirines with 1,3-Oxazolidine-2-thione to 3-(2-Hydroxyethyl)-2- thiohydantoins The reaction of 3-(dimethylamino)-2H-azirines 1 and 1,3-oxazolidine-2-thione ( 6 ), in MeCN at room temperature, yields, after hydrolytic workup, 3-(2-hydroxyethyl)-2-thiohydantoins 7 (Scheme 2). In the case of the spirocyclic 1c , crystallization of the crude reaction mixture leads to spiro [cyclopentane-1, 7′(7′aH)-imidazo [4, 3-b] oxazole] -5′-thione 8c . The mechanism is discussed.

Catalytic hydrogenation of some 4-arylidene-1,3-(2H,4H)isoquinolinediones (1) afforded the corresponding 4-arylmethyl-1,3-(2H,4H)isoquinolinediones (2) , but reduction of 1 by sodium borohydride gave 4-arylmethyl-1(2H)isoquinolones (isocarbostyrils, 3). Compounds of type 1 studied had aryl substituents phenyl, 3,4-dimethoxyphenyl, 3,4-methyleneoxyphenyl and 2-furyl. In one example of sodium borohydride reduction of an N-methylisoquinolinedione derivative (1) the heterocylic ring was opened, and 2-(1-hydroxymethyl-2-phenylethenyl)-N-methylbenzamide (4) was obtained from 4-benzylidene-2-methyl-1,3-(2H,4H)isoquinolinedione.     

Synthesis and anticancer activity evaluation of 3-(4-oxo-2-thioxothiazolidin-5-yl)-1H-indole-carboxylic acids derivatives

Abstract

A mild and efficient method for the synthesis of 1-oxo-9H-thiopyrano[3,4-b]indole-3-carboxylic acids and dimerized 3-(4-carboxy-1H-3-indolyl)-2-propenoic acids via alkaline hydrolysis of 3-(rhodanin-5-yl)-1H-indole-2-carboxylic acids derivatives was elaborated.

Cyclocondensation of methyl 2-(1,3-benzothiazol-2-ylimino)-3,3,3-trifluoropropionate with C,N-binucleophiles

Reactions of methyl 2-(1,3-benzothiazol-2-ylimino)-3,3,3-trifluoropropionate with 1,3-C,N-binucleophiles, methyl 2-aminobut-2-enoate, 2-aminobut-2-enenitrile and N-substituted 6-aminouracils and 3-aminocyclohex-2-en-1-ones, led to the formation of trifluoromethyl-substituted heterocycles, dihydro-1H-pyrroles, hexahydro-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidine-2,4,6-triones, and hexahydro-1H-indole-2,4-diones.

Eine überraschende Ringerweiterung von 3-(Dimethylamino)-2,2-dimethyl-2H-azirin zu 4,5-Dihydropyridin-2(3H)-on-Derivaten

An Unexpected Ring Enlargement of 3-(Dimethylamino)-2,2-dimethyl-2H-azirine to 4,5-Dihydropyridin-2(3H)-one Derivatives The reaction of 3-(dimethylamino)-2,2-dimethyl-2H-azirine ( 1a ) and 4,4-disubstituted 2-(trifluoromethyl)-1,3-oxazol-5(4H)-ones 7 in MeCN at 70° afforded 5-(dimethylamino)-3,6-dihydropyrazin-2(1H)-ones 10 (Scheme 4), whereas no reaction could be observed between 1a and 2-allyl-4-phenyl-2-(trifluoromethyl)-1,3-oxazol-5(2H)-one ( 8a ) or 4,4-dibenzyl-2-phenyl-1,3-oxazol-5(4H)-one ( 9 ). The formation of 10 is rationalized by a mechanism via nucleophilic attack of 1a onto 7 . The failure of a reaction with 9 shows that only activated 1,3-oxazol-5(4H)-ones bearing electron-withdrawing substituents do react as electrophiles with 1a . The amino-azirine 1a and 2,4-disubstituted 1,3-oxazol-5(4H)-ones 2b – e in refluxing MeCN undergo a novel ring enlargement to 4,5-dihydropyridin-2(3H)-ones 11 (Scheme 5). Several side products were observed in these reactions. Two different reaction mechanisms for the formation of 11 are proposed: either 1a undergoes a nucleophilic addition onto the open-chain ketene tautomer of 2 (Scheme 6), or 2 reacts as CH-acidic compound (Scheme 7).     

Halocyclization of 2-(2-{4-[allylamino(thioxo)methyl]piperazin-1-yl}ethyl)-1<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>-benzo[<Emphasis Type="Italic">de</Emphasis>]isoquinoline-1,3(2<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>)-dione

Cyclization of 2-(2-{4-[allylamino(thioxo)methyl]piperazin-1-yl}ethyl)-1H-benzo[de]isoquinoline-1,3(2H)-dione by the action of iodine, bromine, or sulfuryl chloride gave 2-(2-{4-[4,5-dihydro-5-(halomethyl)-thiazol-2-yl]piperazin-1-yl}ethyl)-1H-benzo[de]isoquinoline-1,3(2H)-dione hydrohalides which were converted into 2-{2-[4-(5-methylthiazol-2-yl)piperazin-1-yl]ethyl}-1H-benzo[de]isoquinoline-1,3(2H)-dione.     

Functiaonalization of 2-(1-Cyclohexen-1-yl)aniline Derivatives

The reaction of 2-(1-cyclohexen-1-yl)aniline and -6-methylaniline with phthalic anhydride has afforded 2-(2-cyclohex-1-en-1-ylphenyl)- and 2-(2-cyclohex-1-en-1-ylphenyl)-6-methylphenyl)-1H-isoindole-1,3(2H)-diones. The reaction of the obtained isoindole-1,3-diones with bromine in dichloromethane in the presence of sodium bicarbonate has led to the formation of the product of pseudo-allylic halogenation. Replacement of the halogen atom by methoxy group has been performed by keeping 2-[2-(6-bromocyclohex-1-en-1-ylphenyl)-6-methylphenyl)]-1H-isoindole-1,3(2H)-dione in a methanolic solution in the presence of NaHCO₃. The reaction of 2-(2-cyclohex-1-en-1-yl-6-methylphenyl)-1H-isoindole-1,3(2H)-dione with molecular bromine in the presence of methanol has given a co-halogenation product, whereas the dibromination product has been obtained in the presence of octyl alcohol.

     

Ring-Transformationen bei der Umsetzung von 3-(Dimethylamino)-2,2-dimethyl-2H-azirin mit 1-substituierten Imidazolidin-2,4,5-trionen

Ring-Transformations in the Reaction of 3-(Dimethylamino)-2,2-dimethyl-2H-azirines with 1-Substituted Imidazolidine-2,4,5-triones Reaction of 1-substituted imidazolidine-2,4,5-triones ( = N-substituted parabanic acids; 2 ) and 3-(dimethylamino)-2,2-dimethyl-2H-azirine ( 1 ) in i-PrOH or MeCN at room temperature yields 5,6,7,7a-tetrahydro-3H-imidazo[3,4-a]imidazole-5,7-diones 3 (Scheme 1). By ¹⁵N-NMR studies, using (3-¹⁵N)- 2a , it has been shown that only N( 1 ) in (¹⁵N)- 3a is labelled and, hence, N(4) stems from 1 , e.g. the azirine reacts via cleavage of the N(1)=C(3) bond. In MeCN at room temperature, the azacyclols 3 rearrange slowly to give monocyclic 2H, 5H-imidazol-2-ones 4 (Scheme 3); the ¹⁵N-label in (¹⁵N)- 4a is in position 1. Both reactions proceed via deep-seated skeletal rearrangements, most probably via ring-expansion/ring-contraction processes.
