The photochemical synthesis of novel heterocyclic compounds from s-triazolo[4,3-b]pyridazine

s-Triazolo[4,3-b]pyridazine (I) photochemically reacted with cyclooctene, cyclododecene, bicyclo[2.2.2]oct-2-ene, bicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-ene and indene to form tri and tetracyclic triazoles (II-X). Generally, two or more products were formed. For example the reaction with cyclooctene gave 4a,5,7,8,9,10,10a,11-octahydro-11-methylene-6H-cycloocta[4,5]-pyrrole[1,2-b]-s-triazole (II) and the corresponding 11-cyanomethyl product (III). When I was reacted with open chain alkenes, various isomers of the substituted pyrrolo[1,2-b]triazoles (XI-XV) were formed. Since the reaction was not stereospecific, cycloaddition must be a two step process.     

Biphenylenes-xxxi: Condensation of benzocyclobutene-1,2-dione with aliphatic and heterocyclic 1,2-diamines and the synthesis of cis-2-cyano-3-(2'-cyanovinyl)-1,4-diaz

As possible routes to 1,4-diazabiphenylene and its 2,3-disubstituted derivatives we have studied the condensation of benzocyclobutene-1,2-dione (BBD) with various 1,2-diamines. Instead of giving the 1,4-diazabiphenylene ring system, BBD reacted with ethylenediamine, diaminomaleonitrile, 4,5-diaminopyrimidine, 2-aminopyridine, also 2,3- and 3,4-diaminopyridine to give, respectively, 2-o-carboxyphenylimidazolidinium acetate 4, 3,4-dicyano-2,5-dihydro[2,5]benzodiazocine-1,6-dione 10, 4-amino-5a,9b-dihydro-5-,9b-dihydroxybenzo [3',4']cyclobuta[1',2'-4,5]imidazo[1,2-c]pyrimidine 14, 5a,9b-dihydro-5a,9b-dihydroxybenzo[3',4']cyclobuta[1',2'-4,5] imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine 17, the 4-amino derivative 16 of the latter, and the zwitter ion 18 of 4-amino-3(2-carboxy-benzylideneamino) However, BBD reacted with 4,5-diaminobenzotriazole to give the expected 1,2,3,6,11-penta-aza-1-H-indeno [4,5-b]biphenylene 20, which, on amination followed by oxidation, gave a very low yield of cis-2-cyano-3-(2'-cyanovinyl)-1,4-diazabiphenylene 3. In model experiments, 7,8-diphenylfurazano [3,4-f]quinox-aline 28 was reduced to 2,3-diamino-5,6-diphenyl quinoxaline 29, which on oxidation, gave a mixture of cis- and trans-2-cyano-3-(2'-cyanovinyl)5,6-diphenylpyrazine, 30 and 31. The pentacyclic compounds, 1,3,6,II-tetra-aza-2-oxa-2H-indeno [4,5-b]biphenylene 23 and 1,3,5,10-tetra-aza-1-H-indeno[5,6-b] biphenylene 25, were formed from BBD and the appropriate 1,2-diamines but the 5-membered heterocyclic rings could not be cleaved by reduction and hydrolysis respectively) to give tetracyclic diamines which might have undergone oxidation to give derivatives of 1,4-diazabiphenylene. Compounds 14, 16, 20, 23, 25 and 28 are derivatives of new heterocyclic systems.     

Synthesis of Schiff bases by aromatic amine condensation with 3,3′-bithiophenes-2,2′ and 4,4′-dicarbaldehydes

Reactions of aromatic amines with 3,3′-bithiophene-2,2′-dicarbaldehyde 1 and 3,3′-bithiophene-4,4′-dicarbaldehyde 2 gave the 2,2′-(N-(aryl)diimino)-3,3′-bithiophene 3 and 4,4′-(N-(aryl)diimino)-3,3′-bithiophene 4 in good yields. Orthophenylenediamine reacted with 1 and 2 to give dithieno[3,4-c;4′,3′-e]azepino[1,2-a]benzimidazole 5 and dithieno[2,3-c;3′,2′-e]azepino[1,2-a]benzimidazole 6. All these original products have been characterized by spectroscopic techniques and elemental analysis.     

Observations relevant to the mechanism of the reductive aminations of ketones with sodium cyanoborohydride and ammonium acetate

Fortimicin B (2) has been converted to 6'-epi-fortimicin B 5 and 6'-epi-fortimicin A 4 both of which have the same diaminosugar moiety as that present in gentamicin C₂3. The syntheses of the 6'-epi-fortimicins and their antibacterial activities are reported.Although reductive amination of 1,2'-di-N-benzyloxycarbonyl-6'-oxo-fortimicin B-4,5-carbamate 17 with sodium cyanoborohydride and ammonium acetate in methanol gave a mixture of 1,2'-di-N-benzyloxycarbonyl-6'-epi-fortimicin B-4,5-carbamate 18 and 1,2'-di-N-benzyloxycarbonylfortimicin B-4,5-carbamate 14, attempted reduction of 1,2'-di-N-benzyloxycarbonyl-6'-iminofortimicin B-4,5-carbamate 16, under identical conditions gave only recovered imine. The significance of these results relative to the mechanism of the reductive amination of carbonyl compounds with sodium cyanoborohydride and amine salts is discussed.     

Synthesis of biologically important novel fluorinated spiro heterocycles under microwaves catalyzed by montmorillonite KSF

The arylidienes of fluorinated spiro thiazolidines (5) containing α,β-unsaturated function have been used as component of Micheal addition with equimolar amount of 2-aminopyridine (6a) to give novel fluorinated spiro [indole-3,2′-pyrido[1,2-a]thiazolo[5,4-e]pyrimidines] (7) in a single step under microwaves in presence of montmorillonite KSF as solid support. The new improved synthetic method for fluorinated spiro [indole-3,2′-thiazolo[4,5-d]pyrimidines] (8) has also been developed involving the reaction of (5) with thiourea under monomode microwave reactor. Comparison with conventional synthesis and multimode microwave oven indicated the enhanced yield with faster reactions under monomode microwave reactor. Structure-activity relationships between the chemical structures and the antimycobacterial, antifungal activity of the evaluated compounds are also discussed.     

A stable derivative of cyclooctatrienyne: Synthesis and crystal structures of 1,4,7,10-tetramethyl-5,6-didehydrodibenzo[a,e]cyclooctene and 1,4,7,10-tetramethyldibenzo[a,e]cyclooctene

A stable derivative of cyclooctatrienyne (1), namely 1,4,7,10-tetramethyl-5,6-didehydrodibenzo-[a,e]cyclooctene (3), has been synthesized and fully characterized. X-Ray crystallographic analyses indicate that 3 adopts a “butterfly” conformation intermediate between those of virtually planar 5,6-didehydrodibenzo-[a,e]cyclooctene (2) and tub-shaped 1,4,7,10-tetramethyldibenzo[a,e]cyclooctene(16). The methyl substituents effectively shield the otherwise rather exposed strained triple bond of 3 and kinetically stabilize it against dimerization and/or air oxidation.     

Diethylamine and triethylamine as sources of the dienophile component in the reverse azadiene synthesis with dimethylpyrimido[4,5-e]- and-[5,4-e]-1,2,4-triazinediones and 1,2,4,5-tetrazines

Diethylamine (DEA) and triethylamine (TEA) can function as sources for the two-carbon component in the reverse azadiene synthesis. Reaction of 5,7-dimethylpyrimido[4,5-e]-1,2,4-triazine-6,8-dione, 6,8-dimethylpyrimido-[5,4-e]-1,2,4-triazine-5,7-dione, or 1,2,4,5-tetrazine with an excess of DEA or TEA gives, respectively, the pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidine-2,4-dione,pyrido[3,2-d]pyrimidine-2,4-dione, or pyridazine. The presence of an oxidant (atmospheric oxygen, MnO₂, or an electron-acceptor solvent) is required for the reaction to occur. Reaction of 5,7-dimethylpyrimido[4,5-e]-1,2,4-triazinedione with piperidine, morpholine, or under certain conditions DEA, results in opening of the triazine ring to give uracils with an amidine group in the 6-position.For preliminary communication, see [1, 2].Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 11, pp. 1545–1558, November, 1990.     

Spiropyrans and spirooxazines. 3. Synthesis of photochromic 5′-(4,5-diphenyl-1,3-oxazol-2-yl)-spiro[indoline-2,3′-naphtho[2,3-<Emphasis Type="Italic">b</Emphasis>]pyran]

The reaction of 2-hydroxy-3-(4,5-diphenyl-1,3-oxazol-2-yl)-1-naphthaldehyde with 1,2,3,3-tetramethyl-3H-indolium perchlorate afforded photochromic spiro[indoline-2,3′-naphthopyran] containing a 4,5-diphenyloxazole group in position 5′ of the naphthopyran fragment. The merocyanine form of the spiropyran gave complexes with bivalent heavy cations.__________Published in Russian in Izvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Transformations of S-substituted 5,7-dimethyl-4а,5а-diphenyl-3-thioxoperhydroimidazo[4,5-e]-1,2,4-triazin-2-ones under treatment of 1,2-benzoquinones and photochemical properties of reaction products

For the first time 5,7-di-tert-butyl-1,3-dimethyl-3a,9a-diphenyl-3,3a-dihydro-1H-benzo[5,6][1,4]dioxino[2,3-d]imidazol-2(9aH)-one 13 and complex 9 of 4,6-di-tert-butyl-3-nitrobenzene-1,2-diol with 1,3-dimethyl-4,5-diphenyl-1H-imidazol-2(3H)-one 10a were prepared by the reactions of 3-alkylthio-5,7-dimethyl-4a,7a-diphenyl-4a,5,7,7a-tetrahydro-1H-imidazo[4,5-e]-1,2,4-triazin-6(4H)-ones with 3,5-di-tert-butyl-1,2-benzoquinone 1 and 4,6-di-tert-butyl-3-nitro-1,2-benzoquinone 2, respectively. Photochemical transformations of compounds 9 and 10a as well as products of its photooxygenation involving singlet oxygen under UV irradiation: urea 16, isomeric 1,3-dimethyl-4,5-diphenylimidazolidin-2-ones 17 and 17′, and compound 18 were studied by the spectral-kinetic method. Data on the absorption and fluorescence properties of synthesized compounds and their photoproducts were obtained.     

Efficient synthesis of novel dipyridoimidazoles and pyrido[1′,2′;1,2]imidazo[4,5-d]pyridazine derivatives

Novel dipyrido[1,2-a;3′,4′-d]imidazoles 7a-d, dipyrido[1,2-a;4′,3′-d]imidazoles 8a,c and pyrido[1′,2′;1,2]imidazo[4,5-d]pyridazine derivatives 9a-d were synthesized by two pathways: thermal electrocyclic reaction of 3-alkenylimidazopyridine-2-oximes 10 and direct condensation of ethyl glycinate (or hydrazine) with 2,3-dicarbonylimidazo[1,2-a]pyridines 11.     

Synthesis and characterisation of two new binaphthyl trisilanes

The synthesis and characterisation of two binaphthyl trisilanes is described. Reaction between 2,2′-dilithio-1,1′-binaphthyl and 1,3-dichlorohexamethyltrisilane gave 3,3,4,4,5,5-hexamethyl-4,5-dihydro-3H-3,4,5-trisilacyclohepta[2,1-a;4,3-a′]binaphthalene (3). Compound 3 was characterised by ¹H, ¹³C and ²⁹Si NMR spectroscopy and a crystal structure analysis. Reaction between 2,2′-dilithio-1,1′-binaphthyl and 1,3-bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyloxy)-1,1,2,3,3-pentamethyltrisilane, generated in situ by treatment of 1,3-diphenyl-1,1,2,3,3-pentamethyltrisilane with trifluormethanesulfonic acid, gave 3,3,4,5,5-pentamethyl-4,5-dihydro-3H-3,4,5-trisilacyclohepta[2,1-a;4,3-a′]binaphthalene (7). Analysis by ¹H, ¹³C and ²⁹Si NMR spectroscopy revealed that 7 had a very similar structure to 3.     

Synthesis of a new tetracyclic system related to aptazapine (CGS 7525A) by one-pot double annelation

Tandem annelation of the acetal 5 in acidic medium gave the intermediate tetracyclic amide 4, which was in turn reduced to 3b,4,6,7-tetrahydro-5-methyl-5H,9H-pyrazino- [2,1-c]pyrrolo[1,2-a][1,4]benzodiazepine1.     

The addition of benzocyclobutenylidene to benzene : The facile rearrangement of spiro[benzocyclobutene-1,7'-cyclohepta-1',3',5'-triene] to 9a,10-dihydrobenz[α]azulene

Thermal decomposition of the sodium salts of benzocyclobutenone tosylhydrazone and 2-methylbenzocyclobutenone tosylhydrazone in benzene affords 9a,10-dihydrobenz[α]azulene 4 and trans-10-methyl-9a, 10-dihydrobenz[α]azulene 3, respectively. A mechanism involving initially the addition of the carbene benzocyclobutenylidene, or its 2-Me derivative, to the benzene ring is postulated. A proposed intermediate in the reaction, spiro [benzocyclobutene 1,7' cyclohepta-1',3',5'-triene] 12 has been synthesised, and shown to give rise to 4 under the reaction conditions. The rate of rearrangement of 12 → 4 has been measured, and the activation energy determined: E_a = 125.9 ± O.8 KJmol^?1 and A = 1.38 × lO¹⁴sec^?1. The mechanism for the rearrangement must involve ring opening of the benzocyclobutene moiety of 12 to give an o- xylylene intermediate which is postulated to possess considerable diradical character. At 71.8 °, this ring opening is 2.7 × 10⁶ times faster than the ring opening of the parent benzocyclobutene molecule. The decomposition of the sodium salt of 2-(7' -cyclohepta-1',3',5' trienyl)benzaldehyde tosylhydrazone has also been investigated and is shown to yield 4a,10-dihydrobenz[α]azulene, 9,10-dihydrobenz[α]azulene and 8,9-benzotricyclo [5.3.0.0^2.10]deca-3,5,8-triene. A mechanism involving intramolecular 1,3-dipolar addition of a diazo grouping to a cycloheptatriene Π-bond, followed by decomposition of the resulting pyrazoline intermediate, is proposed.     

Condensed imidazo-1,2,4-azines. 15. Reaction of 1,2-diaminobenzimidazole with 5-phenyl-2,3-dihydrofuran-2,3-dione

The reaction of 1,2-diaminobenzimidazole with 5-phenyl-2,3-dihydrofuran-2,3-dione in acetic acid gave a mixture of 2-benzoylmethyl-1,2,4-triazino [2,3-a]-benzimidazol-4H-3-one and 3-benzoylmethyl-1,2,4-triazino[2,3-a]benzimidazol-1H-2-one, the intramolecular cyclization of which gave isomeric 2-phenylfuro-[5,4-e]- and 2-phenylfuro[4,5-e]-1,2,4-triazino[2,3-a]benzimidazoles. Only the corresponding furo[4,5-e]-1,2,4-triazino[2,3-a]benzimidazole was isolated when the reaction was carried out in sulfuric acid.See [1] for Communication 14.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 4, pp. 533–535, April, 1987.     

A novel synthesis of 2'-hydroxy-1',3'-xylyl crown ethers

Six novel 2' - hydroxy - 1',3' - xylyl crown ethers (8a–e and 13)¹ have been synthesized utilizing the allyl group to protect the OH function during the cyclization reaction. The macrocycles 6a-e were formed in yields of 26 to 52%, by intermolecular reaction of 4 - chloro - 2,6 - bis(bromomethyl) - 1 - (2 - propenyloxy)benzene (5) with polyethylene glycols; 6a was also obtained by an intramolecular cyclization reaction of monotosylate 14.A 30-membered ring with a 2' - hydroxy - 1',3' - xylyl sub-unit was obtained in 87% yield by reaction of ditosylate 9 with bis [2 - (o - hydroxyphenoxy)ethyl]ether (11) in the presence of cesium fluoride. The synthesis of crown ethers with a 2' - hydroxy - 1',3' - xylyl sub-unit (1c–e, H for CH₃) by demethylation of the corresponding 2'-methoxy crown ethers 1c–e with lithium iodide were unsuccessful; it would appear that the demethylation reaction is restricted to 15- and 18-membered rings. One of the 2' - hydroxy - 1',3' - xylyl crown ethers 8d forms a crystalline 1:1-complex with water.     

The synthesis of pyridazino[4,5-d] pyridazines,pyrazino [2,3-d] pyridazines and a pyrimido [4,5-d] pyridazine

The synthetic chemistry of the relatively unknown pyridazino [4,5-d]pyridazine ring system has been extended. 1,4-Diaminopyridazino [4,5-d]pyridazine (VIII) has been prepared by two routes, the most interesting of these being the one-step conversion of 4,5-dicyanopyridazine into VIII with hydrazine. Upon nitration VIII gave only the mononitramine (X). Attempts to prepare 1,4-dichloropyridazino [4,5-d]pyridazine gave only 4-chloro-2H-pyridazino [4,5-d]pyridazin-1-one (XII). Pyrimido [4,5-d]pyridazine-1,3-dione (XIV) was prepared from pyridazine-4,5-dicarboxamide (IV). The hydrolysis of 5,8-dichloropyrazino [2,3-d]pyridazine (XV) gave 5-chloropyrazino [2,3-d]pyridazin-8-one (XVII) and likewise the ammonolysis of XV gave 5-amino-8-chloropyrazino [2,3-d]pyridazine (XX). As expected the hydrolysis of 5,8-dibromo-pyrazino [2,3-d]pyridazine (XXI) gave 5-bromopyrazino [2,3-d]pyridazin-8-one (XXII). Attempted catalytic dechlorination of 5-chloropyrazino [2,3-d]pyridazin-8-one (XVII) gave 1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyrazino [2,3-d]pyridazin-5-one (XIX).     

Nitrenes-XV: 1-Hydroxymethyl-4,5-dimethoxy-7H-azirino[1,2-a]-indole-7a-carboxylic acid γ-lactone,a nitrene addition compound

Triethyl phosphite deoxygenation of α-(6-nitroveratrylidene)-γ-butyrolactone 1 under moderate conditions affords a mixture of 3-(6-nitroveratryl)-2(5H)-furanone 5, α-(6-ethylaminoveratrylidene)-γ-butyrolactone 6 and 1-hydroxymethyl-4,5-dimethoxy-7H-azirino[1,2-a]indole-7a-carboxylic acid γ-lactone 7, in addition to 3,4-dihydro-7,8-dimethoxy[1,3-a]oxazino[3,4-a]indol-1-one 2, ethyl 5,6-dimethoxyindole-2-carboxylate 3, and 2,3-dihydro-6,7-dimethoxyfuro[2,3-b]quinoline 4, obtained under more drastic reaction conditions.The isolation of lactones 5 and 7 provides strong evidence for the intermediacy of nitrenes in this reaction which appears to provide the first example of intramolecular aziridine formation from a nitro-aromatic compound and triethyl phosphite.     

Condensed imidazo-1,2,4-azines. 21. Synthesis of 2-arylfuro(pyrrolo-, thieno-)[2,3-e]-1,2,4-triazino[2,3-a]benzimidazoles by cyclization of 2-aroyl-1,2,4-triazino[2,3-a]benzimidazol-4H-3-ones

2-[(-Ethyl-, arylimino)phenethyl]-1,2,4-triazino[2,3-a]benzimidazoles were obtained by reaction of 2-aroylmethyl-1,2,4-triazino[2,3-a]benzimidazol-4H-3-ones with ethyl(aryl)amines or urea. By the action of phosphorus oxychloride, these benzimidazoles cyclize into substituted pyrrolo[2,3-e]-1,2,4-triazino[2,3-a]benzimidazoles, heating of which in polyphosphoric acid leads to the formation of furo[2,3-e]-1,2,4-triazino[2,3-a]benzimidazoles, while by the action of P₄S₁₀, they are transformed into thieno[2,3-e]-1,2,4-triazino[2,3-a]benzimidazoles.For Communication 20, see [1].Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 8, pp. 1109–1113, August, 1989.     

The synthesis of annulated pyridazines by cycloaddition of azodicarboxylates to vinyl heterocycles

Reaction between 2-vinyl pyridine and azodicarboxylates 2 or 5 gives N,N'-disubstituted tetrahydropyrido[3,2-c]pyridazines 3 and 6, and dihydro-3H-pyrido[1,2-c]triazines 4 and 7; 2-(prop-1-en-1-yl)-pyridine 8 gives hydropyridopyridazines 10 and 11 but 2-(prop-1-en-2-yl)pyridine 9 gives mainly the ‘ene’ addition product 12. From 4-vinyl-pyridine and esters 2 or 5 diesters of tetrahydropyrido[3,4-c]pyridazine-1,2-dicarboxylic acid, 25 and 26 are obtained, and from 2-methyl-5-vinylpyridine both possible cyclisation products, the tetrahydro-pyrido[2,3-c]pyridazines 33 and 36, and -pyrido[4,3-c]pyridazines 34 and 37. The di-t-butyl esters 6, 11, 26, and 37 are quantitatively decarbalkoxylated in TFA, giving tetrahydropyridopyridazines 16, 18, 27, and 41; of these, the first three were oxidized to give pyrido[2,3-c]-pyridazine 15, its 3-methyl derivative 19, and pyrido[3,4-c]pyridazine 28 respectively. A dihydropyrido[4,3-c]-pyridazine 42 was obtained from compound 41. Thieno[2,3-c]-pyridazine 48 has been similarly prepared from 2-vinylthiophen, but 2-(prop-1-en-2-yl)thiophen gave an ene addition compound 51 and a dihydrothienopyridazine 50. Reactions with other vinylpyridines, and with vinylfurans, were unsuccessful.     

Insertion of isoprene units into indole and 3-substituted indoles in aqueous systems

Indole (1) and 3- methylbut - 2 - enyl bromide (2) were reacted in aqueous solution over a wide range of pH, in absence of Lewis catalysts, leading to 3-(3'-methylbut-2'-enyl) indole (3), 2,3-di-(3'-methylbut-2-enyl) indole (4) and to 2 - (3 - indolyl) - 3,3 - di - (3' - methylbut - 2' - enyl) - 2,3 - dihydroindote (6) in acidic buffer, whereas compound 6 was not formed at basic pH. Both the reactivity and the selectivity of the reaction appear to be influenced by the acidity of the medium. The reaction extended to biologically significant 3-substituted indoles gave a series of new products. 3-Substituted indoles bearing a basic group at their β-position (7, 11, 12 and 13) in acetic buffer (pH = 3) gave mainly cyclization to dihydrofurano or dihydropyrrolo [2.3-b] indoles (15,16, 20, 21 and 23), whereas those with the basic group at the γ-position (9,10) gave the 2 - (3 - methylbut - 2 - enyl) indole derivatives (18,19) only.
