Synthesis and reactivity of 4-hydroxy-5-methyl-2-(2-oxo-2<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>-chromen-3-yl)-6<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>-1,3-oxazin-6-ones

4-Hydroxy-6H-1,3-oxazin-6-ones with a coumarin fragment in position 2 of the oxazine ring were synthesized. Their hydrolysis, alcoholysis, and hydrazinolysis afforded a number of new coumarin derivatives containing malonamic acid and 1,2,4-triazole residues. The low stability of the title compounds toward oxygencentered nucleophiles was interpreted by quantum chemical calculations.     

Recyclization of 1,3-dialkyl-6-nitro-1<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>-imidazo[4,5-<Emphasis Type="Italic">b</Emphasis>]pyridine-2,5(3<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>,4<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>)-diones into imidazole derivatives

Treatment of 5-amino-1,3-dialkyl-2,3-dihydro-1H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-2-ones with sodium nitrite in aqueous HCl gave 1,3-dialkyl-1H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridine-2,5(3H,4H)-diones which were nitrated with potassium nitrate in sulfuric acid to 6-nitro derivatives, and the latter underwent recyclization into 4-amino-1,3-dialkyl-5-(1H-pyrazol-5-yl)-2,3-dihydro-1H-imidazol-2-ones by the action of hydrazine hydrate.     

5,7-Dihydropyrrolo[3,4-<Emphasis Type="Italic">d</Emphasis>][1,2]diazepin-1(2<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>)-ones. Synthesis and transformations

A preparative procedure has been developed for the synthesis of substituted 5,7-dihydropyrrolo-[3,4-d][1,2]diazepines by recyclization of 6-phenylpyrano[3,4-c]pyrrol-4(2H)-one with hydrazine hydrate. The stability of the seven-membered ring in the products under acidic conditions, alkylation, and heteroring fusion to the diazepine ring have been studied.     

Synthesis of 2-Aryl-4-(R-sulfanylmethyl)-3-methyl-6,7-dihydro-2<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>-pyrazolo[3,4-<Emphasis Type="Italic">d</Emphasis>]pyridazin-7-ones

Bromination of ethyl 1-aryl-4-acetyl-5-methyl-1H-pyrazole-3-carboxylates gave ethyl 1-aryl-4-(bromoacetyl)-5-methyl-1H-pyrazol-3-carboxylates which were used to alkylate benzenethiol and heterocyclic thiones at the sulfur atom. Reactions of the resulting S-alkylation products with hydrazine or methylhydrazine involved closure of pyridazine ring to afford 2-aryl-3-methyl-4-[phenyl(or hetaryl)sulfanylmethyl]-6,7-dihydro-2H-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyridazin-7-ones.     

Cyclotransformation in the series of fused 5-nitropyridin-2(1<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>)-ones

Reactions with excess hydrazine hydrate of 5-nitropyridin-2(1H)-ones fused with benzene, pyridine, and 1,2,3-triazole rings led to a cyclotransformation of the 5-nitro-2-oxopyridine fragment into the 6-methyl-3-oxopyridazine structure. This cyclotransformation is of general character; a probable mechanism of the process is suggested. Details of the assumed mechanism were experimentally confirmed on model compounds.     

Reactions of 2-alkylsulfanyl- and 2-alkoxy-4-hydroxy-6<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>-1,3-oxazin-6-ones with O-nucleophiles

Reactions of 2-alkylsulfanyl- and 2-alkoxy-4-hydroxy-6H-1,3-oxazin-6-ones with oxygen-centered nucleophiles were studied. 2-Alkoxy-4-hydroxy-6H-1,3-oxazin-6-ones reacted with water and alcohols to give the corresponding alkyl 3-amino-3-oxopropanoates as a result of opening of the oxazine ring at the C⁶-O bond, whereas their 2-alkylsulfanyl analogs turned out to be stable toward O-nucleophiles. The different reactivities of the title compounds were interpreted in terms of quantum-chemical calculations of their electronic structure.     

Alkylation of 2-(hydroxyimino)-5<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>-[1,3]thiazolo[3,2-<Emphasis Type="Italic">a</Emphasis>]-pyrimidin-3(2<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>)-ones

Alkylation products were obtained from ethyl 2-(hydroxyimino)-7-methyl-3-oxo-5-aryl-2,3- dihydro-5H-[1,3]thiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidin-6-carboxylates at the treatment with alkyl halides, dimethyl sulfate, and diazomethane. Diazomethane alkylated the initial substrate at the oxygen atom of the carbonyl group of the thiazolidine fragment, the other reagents, at the oxygen atom of the hydroxyimino group.

New functionalization opportunities for <Emphasis Type="Italic">peri</Emphasis>-hydroxynaphthoyl and <Emphasis Type="Italic">peri</Emphasis>-fused heterocyclic compounds

A capability was studied of hydrogenated α-pyrone heterocycle in 7-methoxy-4-(4-methoxy-phenyl)-3,4-dihydro-2H-benzo[h]chromen-2-one to undergo aminolysis under the treatment with hydrazine hydrate, primary and secondary aliphatic and aromatic amines. A new approach was developed to the preparation of perihydroxyketone of naphthalene series containing a specific functional substituent in the ortho-position with respect to hydroxy group. The effect was revealed of an acetyl group in the position 9 of 7-methoxy-4-(4-methoxyphenyl)-3,4-dihydro-2H-benzo[h]chromen-2-one on the reaction of this compound with aliphatic amines and hydrazine hydrate. 9-Methoxy-1-(4-methoxyphenyl)-6-methyl-3H-benzo[de]pyrido[3,2,1-if]cinnolin-3-one [9-methyl-6-methoxy-3-(4-methoxyphenyl)-10,10a-diazapyren-1-one] was obtained, a new bis-peri-fused heteroaromatic system.     

Reaction of 5-(2-furyl)-1-methyl-1<Emphasis Type="Italic">H-</Emphasis> and 1-methyl-5-(2-thienyl)-1<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>-imidazoles with electrophilic reagents

5-(2-Furyl)-1-methyl-1H- and 1-methyl-5-(2-thienyl)-1H-imidazoles were synthesized. The electronwithdrawing effect of the 5- and 2-imidazole substituents on the furan ring was studied by ¹H NMR spectroscopy and quantum-chemical calculations. Some electrophilic substitution reactions were investigated (nitration, bromination, sulfonation, hydroxymethylation, formylation, and acylation). In some cases, depending on the reaction conditions, both the furan and thiophene ring and the imidazole fragment undergo electrophilic attack.     

<Emphasis Type="Italic">S</Emphasis>-functional derivatives of 3,4-dihydro-2<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>-1,4-thiasilines

The first cyclic unsaturated S-functional derivatives of 4,4-diphenyl-3,4-dihydro-2H-1,4-thiasiline, S-oxide, S,S-dioxide, and S-sulfonimide, were prepared. Oxidation of the hydrolytically less stable 4,4-dimethyl-3,4-dihydro-2H-1,4-thiasiline leads to the corresponding sulfoxide and sulfone along with the ring opening products, siloxanes containing the sulfoxide or sulfonyl group.

2-Amino-4-R-6H-1,3-thiazine-6-thiones and 2-amino-4-phenyl-6H-1,3-thiazin-6-one react with highly electrophilic N-arylsulfonylimines of chloral and phenyldichloroacetic aldehyde at the exocyclic amino group affording in good yields products of nucleophilic addition to the azomethine group of imines: N-[2-polychloro-1-(6-thioxo-4-R-6H-1,3-thiazin-2-ylamino)ethyl]- or -[2-polychloro-1-(6-oxo-4-phenyl-6H-1,3-thiazin-2-ylamino)ethyl]arenesulfonamides.     

2-(2-thienyl)-6-methyl-6<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>-imidazo[4,5-<Emphasis Type="Italic">g</Emphasis>][1,3]benzothiazole: Synthesis and some transformations

Oxidation of N-(1-methylbenzimidazol-5-yl)thiophene-2-carbothioamide with potassium ferricyanide in an alkaline medium by Jacobson’s method afforded 2-(thien-2-yl)-6-methyl-6H-imidazo[4,5-g][1,3]benzothiazole. The latter enters into the electrophilic substitution reaction (nitration, bromination, formylation, acylation) exclusively at the position 5 of the thiophene ring. Characteristic reactions of nucleophilic substitution occurred at the imidazole ring. Quaternization with methyl iodide in benzene furnished the corresponding quaternary salt, whereas the Chichibabin amination with an excess of sodium amide in xylene gave negative result.     

Cyclizations of monocyclic 5-nitropyridin-2(1<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>)-ones

Reactions of 5-nitropyridin-2(1H)-one and its N-methyl derivative with hydrazine hydrate led to the formation of (1H-pyrazol-3-yl) acetohydrazide. Under analogous conditions, 1,3-dimethyl-5-nitropyridin2(1H)-one gave rise to 2-(1H-pyrazol-3-yl)propionohydrazide, while 6-methyl-5-nitropyridin-2(1H)-one was converted into (5-methyl-1H-pyrazol-3-yl)acetohydrazide. Hydrazinolysis of 4-methyl-5-nitropyridin-2(1H)-one resulted in the formation of 3-methyl-4-nitro-1H-pyrazole. The mechanism of recyclization of nitropyridine derivatives by the action of hydrazine hydrate was studied using 5-nitropyridin-2(1H)-one and 1-methyl-5-nitropyridin-2(1H)-one as examples.

Alkylation of methyl 2-hydroxyphenylcarbamates with 1,2-dibromoethane in acetone in the presence of K₂CO₃ gave the corresponding methyl 6(7)-R-2,3-dihydro-4H-1,4-benzoxazine-4-carboxylate. Alkylation of methyl 2-hydroxyphenylcarbamates with chloromethyloxirane was accompanied by recyclization of the oxirane ring with formation of methyl 6(7)-R-3-hydroxymethyl-2,3-dihydro-4H-1,4-benzoxazine-4-carboxylates.

Cyclopropanation of methyl (2E)-3-[(1R,6S)-7,7-dimethyl-2-oxo-3-oxabicyclo[4.1.0]hept-4-en-4-yl]prop-2-enoate with dichlorocarbene occurred at the endocyclic double bond, while its reaction with diazomethane in the presence of Pd(acac)₂ involved the exocyclic double bond. The resulting lactones reacted with sodium methoxide in methanol via opening of one cyclopropane fragment.
