The novel derivatives of thieno[3',2':4,5]thieno[2,3-c]quinolones 6a, 6b, 7, 10a and 10b were synthesized in multistep synthesis starting from thiophene-3-carboxaldehyde and malonic acid reacting in aldol condensation or from 3-bromothiophenes or methyl 4-bromothiophene-2-carboxylate reacting in Heck reaction. They resulted in corresponding substituted thienylacrylic acids 3a-c, which were cyclized into thieno[2,3-c]thiophene-2-carbonyl chlorides 4a-c and converted into thieno[2,3-c]thiophene-2-carboxamides 5a-d. Prepared carboxamides were photochemically dehydrohalogenated into corresponding substituted thieno[3',2':4,5]thieno[2,3-c]quinolones 6a-d. Compound 7 was prepared from 6d by alkylation with N-[3-(dimethylamino)propyl]chloride hydrochloride in the presence of NaH. Compounds 10a and 10b were prepared from 6c in the multistep synthesis over acid 8 and acid chloride 9. Compounds 6a, 6b, 7, 10a and 10b were found to exert cytostatic activities against malignant cell lines: pancreatic carcinoma (MiaPaCa2), breast carcinoma (MCF7), cervical carcinoma (HeLa), laryngeal carcinoma (Hep2), colon carcinoma (CaCo-2), melanoma (HBL), and human fibroblast cell lines (WI-38). The compound 6b, which bears the 3-dimethylaminopropyl substituent on quinolone nitrogen and methoxycarbonyl substituent on position 9, exhibited marked antitumor activity. On the contrary, compound 7, which also bears the 3-dimethylaminopropyl substituent on the quinolone nitrogen but anilido substituent on position 9, exhibited less antitumor activity than the others.

Hydrolysis of ethyl 3-amino-4-aryl-cycloalka[e]thieno[2,3-b]pyridine-2-carboxylates ( 3a-d) gave the corresponding o-aminocarboxylic acids 4a-d . Heating the latter compounds ( 4a-d) with acetic anhydride furnished the oxazinone derivatives 5a-d which, in turn, underwent recyclization reaction to give the corresponding pyrimidinones 6a-d upon treatment with ammonium acetate in acetic acid.

Furopyridines. V. A simple synthesis of furo[2,3-c]pyridine and its 2-and 3-methyl derivatives

A simple synthesis of furo[2,3-c]pyridine and its 2- and 3-methyl derivatives from ethyl 3-hydroxyisonicotinate ( 2 ) is described. The hydroxy ester 2 was O-alkylated with ethyl bromoacetate or ethyl 2-bromopropionate to give the diester 3a or 3b .

Saponification of compound 9 , and the subsequent intramolecular Perkin reaction gave 3-methylfuro[2,3-c]pyridine ( 10 ). Cyclization of 9 with sodium ethoxide gave 3-methylfuro[2,3-c]pyridine-2-carboxylic acid, which in turn was decarboxylated to give compound 10 .

A NOVEL SYNTHESIS OF 2-SUBSTITUTED-4H-THIENO [2,3-d][1,3] OXAZIN-4-ONE AND 2,3-DISUBSTITUTED THIENO [2,3-d]PYRIMIDIN-4(3H)-ONE DERIVATIVES

Abstract

The synthesis of acetic 2-{[1-methyl-2-(4-oxo-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-4H-benzo [4,5]-thieno [2,3-d] [1,3-oxazin-2-yl)ethylidene]amino}-4,5,6,7-tetrahydrohenzo[b]thiophene ?3-carboxylic acid anhydride 5 and 2-(oxopropyl)-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-4H-benzo-[4,5] thieno[2,3-d][1,3]oxazin-4-one 7, has been achieved in three steps from ethyl 2-amino-4,5,6,7-tetrahydrobenzo(b]thiophene-3-carboxlate 1 via the reaction with ethyl acetoacetate followed by hydrolysis and acetic anhydride-induced cyclization. The 2-substituent in compound 5 has two functional groups i.e. active methylene and acid anhydride which are suitably located for intramolecular transformation. Thermal and/or base catalyzed intramolecular cyclization of 5 afforded 2-(4-acetoxy-(hydroxyl)-2-methyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydrobenzo[4,5] thieno[2,3-b]pyridin-3-yl)-5,6,7,8- tetrahydro-4H-benzo[4,5]thieno[2,3-d] [1,3]oxazin-4-one 10 and 9 respectively. Treatment of 5 with hydrazine hydrate, aromatic and/or heterocyclic amines induced the same intramolecular cyclization with a concomitant oxazine-pyrimidine interconversion to give 3-amino(aryl or heteryl)-2-(4-hydroxy-5,6,7,8-tetrdhydrobenzo-[4,5]thieno[2,3-b]pyridin-3-yl)-3,4,5,6,7,8-hexahydrobenzo[4,5] thieno[2,3-d] pyrimid in-4-one 11–14 respectively.     

A convenient approach to heterocyclic building blocks: synthesis of novel ring systems containing a [5,6]Pyrano[2,3-c]pyrazol-4(1H)-one moiety

Starting from commercially available educts, a straightforward synthetic route to new heterocyclic building blocks is exemplified with the one- or two-step synthesis of tri-, tetra-, or pentacyclic ring systems. Representatives of the following novel ring systems are prepared from 3-methyl-1-phenyl-2-pyrazolin-5-one and the corresponding o-halo-arenecarbonyl chloride using calcium hydroxide in refluxing 1,4-dioxane: pyrimidino[4',5':5,6]pyrano[2,3-c]pyrazol-4(1H)-one, thieno[3',2':5,6]pyrano[2,3c]pyrazol- 4-(1H)-one, thieno[3',4':5,6]pyrano[2,3-c]pyrazol-4(1H)-one, thieno[3',2':4',5']thieno[2',3':5,6]-pyrano[2,3-c]pyrazol-4(1H)-one, [1,3]dioxolo[5',6'][1]benzothieno[2',3':5,6]pyrano-[2,3-c]- pyrazol-4(1H)-one, pyridazino[4',3':5,6]pyrano[2,3-c]pyrazol-4(1H)-one and pyrazolo-[4',3':5',6']pyrido[3',4':5,6]pyrano[2,3-c]pyrazol-4(1H)-one. While the latter two ring systems are directly obtained due to a spontaneous intramolecular substitution reaction, in the other reactions uncyclised 4-aroylpyrazol-5-ols are produced, which are cyclised into the target heterocycles in a subsequent synthetic step (i.e. treatment with NaH in DMF). Detailed NMR spectroscopic investigations ((1)H-, (13)C-, (15)N-) with the obtained compounds were undertaken to unambiguously prove the new structures.

The main benefits of this process are short reaction times, easy work-up, reusability of the catalyst and no chromatographic purifications.

Chemical modification of pyridonecarboxylic acid antibacterials with a 1,8-naphthyridine ring, such as enoxacin and tosufloxacin, to their 2-aza derivatives was studied. A new series of 1,7-disubstituted 6-fluoro-4(1H)-oxopyrido[2,3-c]pridazine-3-carboxylic acids (25-27) was prepared by a route involving either alkylation of ethyl 6-fluoro-4(1H)-oxo-7-(p-tolylthio)pyrido[2,3-c]pyridazine-3-carbox ylate (7) or intramolecular cyclization of ethyl 2-(2,6-dichloro-5-fluoronicotinoyl)-2-[2-(p-fluorophenyl)hydraz ono]acetate, (20), followed by displacement reaction with cyclic amines at C-7; the N-1 substituent in these compounds included of ethyl, 2-fluoroethyl and p-fluorophenyl groups, and the C-7 functional group comprised variously-substituted piperazines and pyrrolidines.

Condensed pyridine bases. A new approach to the synthesis of 3-phenacylbenzo[b]thiophenes and 3-phenacyl-5-ethylthieno[2,3-b]thiophene. Synthesis of new derivatives of benzothieno[2,3-c]pyrylium and thieno[2′,3′:5,4]thieno-[2,3-c]pyrylium and pyridine bases

A new method is proposed for the production of substituted 3-phenacylbenzo[b]thiophenes by the intramolecular cyclization of 1-phenyl-4-phenylthio-1,3-butanediones in polyphosphoric acid. The analogous cyclization of 1-phenyl-4-(5-ethyl-2-thienylthio)-1,3-butanedione leads to 3-phenacyl-5-ethylthieno[2,3-b]thiophene. The acylation of substituted 3-phenacylbenzo[b]thiophenes and 3-phenacyl-5-ethylthieno[2,3-b]thiophene by the anhydrides of aliphatic acids in the presence of perchloric acid leads to 1-alkyl-3-phenylbenzothieno[2,3-c]pyrylium perchlorates and 2-ethyl-5-phenyl-7-methylthieno[2′,3′:5,4]thieno[2,3-c]pyrylium perchlorate. The action of ammonium acetate on the obtained salts gives the corresponding pyridine bases. L. M.
