Synthesis of novel 6,7‐dihydro‐5H‐pyrimido[4,5‐e][1,4]diazepin‐8(9H)‐ones

A new method was developed for the synthesis of 6,7‐dihydro‐5H‐pyrimido[4,5‐e][1,4]diazepin‐8(9H)‐one derivatives. The key to construct the pyrimido[4,5‐e][1,4]diazepine core is the intramolecular amidation of N‐((4‐amino‐6‐chloropyrimidin‐5‐yl)methyl)‐substituted amino acid esters. This methodology was validated through the preparation of 13 representative 6,7‐dihydro‐5H‐pyrimido[4,5‐e][1,4]diazepin‐8(9H)‐ones in moderate to good yields. J. Heterocyclic Chem., (2011).

Synthesis of Fused 9,10‐Dihydro‐6H‐Azepino‐ and 9,10‐Dihydro‐6H‐[1,3]Diazepino[1,2‐e]Purines via Ring Closing Metathesis as Antilipid Peroxidation Agents

Ring closing metathesis of 8‐allyl‐9‐butenylpurines or N,9‐diallyl‐N‐methyl‐9H‐purin‐8‐amines with the Grubbs second generation catalyst resulted in fused 9,10‐dihydro‐6H‐azepino[1,2‐e]purines or 9,10‐dihydro‐6H‐[1,3]diazepino[1,2‐e]purines, respectively. The 8‐allyl‐9‐butenylpurines were prepared from 8‐bromo‐9‐butenylpurines after Stille coupling with allyltributyltin. The N,9‐diallyl‐N‐methyl‐9H‐purin‐8‐amines were synthesized from 9‐allyl‐8‐bromopurines after treatment with allylamine in H₂O under MW irradiation, followed by methylation with MeI in KOH. The new compounds were tested as inhibitors of lipid peroxidation. 6‐Methyl‐4‐(morpholin‐4‐yl)‐7,10‐dihydro‐6H‐[1,3]diazepino[1,2‐e]purine presents interesting results and could serve as a lead compound.

A simple, efficient, and clean protocol for the formylation of 2,3‐dihydro‐4H‐1,4‐benzo[e][1,4]thiazin‐3‐on‐1,1‐dioxide is developed. Novel benzothiazine derivatives are synthesized by the reactions of aminovinyl derivative 6 and carbaldehyde 7 with nucleophiles.     

Synthesis and anti‐inflammatory activity of 8H‐1‐thia‐8‐aza‐dibenzo[e,h]azulenes

Synthesis of a novel class of fused heterotetracyclic compounds, 8H‐1‐thia‐8‐aza‐dibenzo[e,h]azulenes ( VII ), is described. Starting N‐benzoyl‐protected 5H‐dibenzo[b,f]azepine ( XI , PG = Bz) was oxidized to 5‐benzoyl‐10,11‐epoxy‐10,11‐dihydro‐5H‐dibenzo[b,f]azepine ( 2 ), which subsequently rearranged in Lewis acid‐induced epoxide ring opening to give 5‐benzoyl‐5,11‐dihydro‐10H‐dibenzo[b,f]azepin‐10‐one ( 3 ). Vilsmeier reaction of 3 provided β‐chlorovinyl aldehyde 4 that readily cyclized with ethyl 2‐mercaptoacetate to form dibenzazepino[4,5]‐fused thiophene structure 5 . Further transformation of substituent at C‐2 position of 5 and N‐deprotection led to final aminoalkoxy derivatives 9 . All compounds with tetracyclic skeleton were tested in vitro for their anti‐inflammatory activity. J. Heterocyclic Chem., (2011).     

Synthesis of New Chromeno[4,3‐b]pyrazolo[4,3‐e]pyridines Derivatives with Antimicrobial Evaluation

A series of 2‐oxo‐2,5‐dihydro‐1H‐chromeno[4,3‐b]pyridine derivatives were obtained by using a one‐pot three component reaction of 2,2‐disubstituted chroman‐4‐one with aromatic aldehydes and 2‐cyanoacetamide in the presence of sodium hydroxide under solvent‐free conditions. Heating chromenopyridine derivatives with phosphoryl chloride gave the corresponding chloro derivatives. The reaction of the chloro derivatives with hydrazine hydrate afforded dihydrochromeno[4,3‐b]pyrazolo[4,3‐e]pyridines derivatives.

Octahydro‐1 H‐benzofuro[3,2‐e]isoquinolines, which possess the ACNO partial structure of morphine, displayed potent oral analgesic and narcotic‐antagonism activity. However, due to inefficiency in their synthesis the ACNO derivatives have not been developed for clinical use. Here, we report in detail the first asymmetric total synthesis of (‐)‐octahydro‐1 H‐benzofuro[3,2‐e]isoquinoline as exemplified by the preparation of (‐)‐ 1 and (‐)‐ 2 . The key intermediate (+)‐5‐hydroxy‐3,4,5,6,7,8‐hexahydro‐1 H‐isoquinoline‐2‐carboxylic acid ethyl ester ((+)‐ 5 ) was prepared in 81% yield and with 100% ee by asymmetric reduction of 5‐oxo‐3,4,5,6,7,8‐hexahydro‐1 H‐isoquinoline‐2‐carboxylic acid ethyl ester ( 6 ) using RuCl[(R,R)‐Tsdpen](p‐cymene) as catalyst with a S/C of 200. The three chiral centers of ACNO skeleton were constructed via a reaction sequence of asymmetric transfer hydrogenation, Heck reaction, and catalytical hydrogenation, and all of these stereoselective reactions were metal‐catalyzed (i.e. Ru, Pd, and Pt, respectively).

A new phosphorus‐containing aromatic diamine, 1,4‐bis(4‐aminophenoxy)‐2‐(6‐oxido‐6H‐dibenz[c,e] [1,2]oxaphosphorin‐6‐yl) phenylene ( 3 ) was synthesized by the nucleophilic aromatic substitution of 2‐(6‐oxido‐6H‐dibenz[c,e] [1,2]oxaphosphorin‐6‐yl)‐1,4‐dihydroxy phenylene ( 1 ) with 4‐fluoronitrobenzene, followed by catalytic hydrogenation.

The number‐average molecular weights of polyimides are in the range of 7.0–8.3 × 10⁴ g/mol, and the weight‐average molecular weights are in the range of 12.5–16.5 × 10⁴ g/mol. The T_gs of these polyimides range from 230 to 304 °C by differential scanning calorimetry and from 228 to 305 °C by DMA. These polyimides are tough and flexible, with tensile strength at around 100 MPa. The degradation temperatures (T_d 5%) and char yields at 800 °C in nitrogen range from 544 to 597 °C and 59–65 wt %, respectively. Polyimides 5c and 5e , derived from OPDA and 6FDA, respectively, with the cutoff wavelength of 347 and 342 μm, respectively, show very light color. These polyimides also exhibit good oxygen plasma resistance. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Polym Sci Part A: Polym Chem 45: 2897–2912, 2007

Synthesis and reactions of 11H‐benzo[b]pyrano[3,2‐f]indolizines an pyrrolo[3,2,1‐ij]pyrano[3,2‐c]quinolines

2‐Methyl‐3H‐indoles 1 cyclize with two equivalents of ethyl malonate 2 to form 4‐hydroxy‐11H‐benzo[b]pyrano[3,2‐f]indolizin‐2,5‐diones 3, whereas 2‐mefhyl‐2,3‐dihydro‐1H‐indoles 9 give under similar conditions regioisomer 8‐hydroxy‐5‐methyl‐4,5‐dihydro‐pyrrolo[3,2,1‐ij]pyrano[3,2‐c]quinolin‐7,10‐diones 10 . The pyrone rings of 3 and 9 can be cleaved either by alkaline hydrolysis to give 7‐acetyl‐8‐hydroxy‐10H‐pyrido[1,2‐a]indol‐6‐ones 4 or 5‐acetyl‐6‐hydroxy‐2‐methyl‐1,2‐dihydro‐4H‐pyrrolo‐[3,2,1‐ij]quinolin‐4‐ones 11 , respectively. Chlorination of 3 and 9 with sulfurylchloride gives under subsequent ring opening 7‐dichloroacetyl‐8‐hydroxy‐10H‐pyrido[1,2‐a]indol‐6‐ones 5 or 5‐dichloracetyl‐6‐hydroxy‐2‐methyl‐1,2‐dihydro‐4H‐pyrrolo[3,2,1‐ij]quinolin‐4‐ones 12 . The dichloroacetyl group of 5 can be reduced with zinc to 7‐acetyl‐8‐hydroxy‐10H‐pyrido[1,2‐a]indol‐6‐ones 7. Treatment of the acetyl compounds 4, 7 and 11 with 90% sulfuric acid cleaves the acetyl group and yields 8‐hydroxy‐10H‐pyrido[1,2‐a]‐indol‐6‐ones 6 and 8 , and 6‐hydroxy‐2‐methyl‐1,2‐dihydro‐4H‐pyrrolo[3,2,1‐ij]quinolin‐4‐ones 13 .
