Synthesis of 4,5-dihydro-2,4-benzoxazepin-3( 1H)ones and 1,3,4,5-tetrahydro-2,4-benzoxazepines

o- Aminomethylbeiizyl alcohols (X) easily cyclize with phosgene in an aqueous alkaline medium to form 4,5-dihydro-2,4-benzoxazepin-3(1H)ones (IV) and with aldehydes in acidic conditions to yield 1,3,4,5-tetrahydro-2,4-benzoxazepines (V). The characteristics and chemical behaviour of these new heterocyclic ring systems are reported.     

Synthesis and structure of dihydro-1,2,4-triazin-6(1H) ones

Reactions of the iminoesters 3a-c with hydrazine or 1,2-dimethylhydrazine gave 4,5-dihydro- 4a-c or 2,5-dihydro-1,2,4-triazin-6(1H) ones 7a-c , respectively. When methylhydrazine was employed, 1-methyl-4, 5-dihydro- 5a-c and 2-methyl-2,5-dihydro-1,2,4-triazin-6(1H) ones 6a-c were obtained. Compounds 6a-c exist as zwitterions in the solid state and in polar aprotic solvents.     

Synthesis of a 6-aryloxymethyl-5-hydroxy-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-[1H]-2-benzazepin-4-one: a muscarinic (M3) antagonist

A synthesis of the racemic 6-aryloxymethyl-5-hydroxy-2,3,4,5-[1H]-2-tetrahydrobenzazepin-4-one , for evaluation as a muscarinic (M(3)) antagonist, is described. 2-[2-tert-Butyldimethylsilyloxymethyl-6-(2,6-dimethoxyphenoxymethyl)phenyl]propan-2-ol was prepared from 2,6-dimethyl-1-bromobenzene and taken through to N-[3-(2,6-dimethoxyphenoxymethyl)-2-(propen-2-yl)phenyl]methyl-N-prop-2-enyl 2-nitrobenzene sulfonamide . However, attempts to cyclise this diene by alkene metathesis were unsuccessful, the open-chain alkene being the only product isolated in yields of up to 70%. In a second approach to the 6-aryloxymethyl-5-hydroxytetrahydrobenzazepin-4-one, methyl (Z)-3-[2-(1-tert-butyldimethylsilyloxymethyl)-6-(1,6-dimethoxyphenoxymethyl)phenyl]but-2-enoate was converted into (Z)-3-[2-hydroxymethyl-6-(2,6-dimethoxyphenoxymethyl)phenyl]but-2-enyl 2-nitrobenzene sulfonamide which was cyclised under Mitsunobu conditions to the corresponding 2,3-dihydro-[1H]-2-benzazepine . The structure of this was confirmed by an X-ray crystal structure of its 2-(4-bromophenylsulfonyl) analogue , and functional group modification including hydroxylation, attachment of the requisite side-chain at C(2) and further oxidation gave the target compound which was assayed for muscarinic (M(3)) activity.     

Substituted 2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-3-benzazepine and 2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-naphth[1,2-d] azepine derivatives

The multi-step synthetic procedures to prepare a number of 2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-benzazepine derivatives 1 through a series of intermediates are described. The condensation of arylaldehydes 2 with 2-nitropropanes 3 gave nitroalcohols 4 which were reduced to alcohol amines 5 . The condensation of 5 with arylacetaldehydes 6 gave imino derivatives 7 which on reduction with borohydride gave secondary amines 8 . By employing different methods, alcohol amines 5 were condensed with arylacetic acids 9 to give amides 10 which were then reduced to amines 8 . On treatment with mineral acids, amines 8 were cyclized to the target compounds 1 . Biological activities of 1 are also briefly discussed.     

Synthesis of 5-hydroxy-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-[1H]-2-benzazepin-4-ones: selective antagonists of muscarinic (M3) receptors

Two approaches to tetrahydro-[1H]-2-benzazepin-4-ones of interest as potentially selective, muscarinic (M(3)) receptor antagonists have been developed. Base promoted addition of 2-(tert-butoxycarbonylamino)methyl-1,3-dithiane with 2-(tert-butyldimethylsiloxymethyl)benzyl chloride gave the corresponding 2,2-dialkylated 1,3-dithiane which was taken through to the dithiane derivative of the parent 2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-[1H]-2-benzazepin-4-one by desilylation, oxidation and cyclisation via a reductive amination. After conversion into the N-tert-butyloxycarbonyl, N-toluene p-sulfonyl and N-benzyl derivatives , hydrolysis of the dithiane gave the N-protected tetrahydro-[1H]-2-benzazepin-4-ones . However, preliminary attempts to convert these into 5-cycloalkyl-5-hydroxy derivatives were not successful. In the second approach, ring-closing metathesis was used to prepare 2,3-dihydro-[1H]-2-benzazepines which were hydroxylated and oxidized to give the required 5-hydroxy-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-[1H]-2-benzazepin-4-ones. Following preliminary studies, ring-closing metathesis of the dienyl N-(2-nitrophenyl)sulfonamide gave the dihydrobenzazepine which was converted into the 2-butyl-5-cyclobutyl-5-hydroxytetrahydrobenzazepin-4-one by hydroxylation and N-deprotection followed by N-alkylation via reductive amination, and oxidation. This chemistry was then used to prepare the 2-[(N-arylmethyl)aminoalkyl analogues , , and . N-Acylation followed by amide reduction using the borane-tetrahydrofuran complex was also used to achieve N-alkylation of dihydrobenzazepines and this approach was used to prepare the 5-cyclopentyl-5-hydroxy-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-[1H]-2-benzazepin-4-one and the 5-cyclobutyl-8-fluoro-5-hydroxy-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-[1H]-2-benzazepin-4-one . The structures of 2-tert-butyloxycarbonyl-4,4-propylenedithio-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-[1H]-2-benzazepine and (4RS,5SR)-2-butyl-5-cyclobutyl-4,5-dihydroxy-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-[1H]-2-benzazepine were confirmed by X-ray diffraction. The racemic 5-cycloalkyl-5-hydroxy-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-[1H]-2-benzazepin-4-ones were screened for muscarinic receptor antagonism. For M(3) receptors from guinea pig ileum, these compounds had log(10)K(B) values of up to 7.2 with selectivities over M(2) receptors from guinea pig left atria of approximately 40.     

Synthesis of 1h-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro- 1,5 -benzodiazepin-2-ones by reductive cyclization of 3- (o-nitrophenylamino)propionic acids

A new synthesis of 1H-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1,5-benzodiazepin-2-ones (I) by the reductive cyclization of o-nitro derivatives of N-phenyl--alanine is described. It is more convenient to use the amide of acrylic acid rather than acrylic acid itself, its nitrile, or ester for the synthesis of I from the appropriate o-phenylenediamines.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 7, pp. 987–991, July, 1971.     

Synthesis of 3-alkyl-8-substituted- and 4-hydroxy-8-substituted-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-2-benzazepines

Based on the Schmidt reaction and an iodolactone ring expansion reaction, two different synthetic routes to substituted 2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-2-benzazepines were developed. The Schmidt reaction on 2,3-dihydro-2H-1-naphthalenone ( 1 ) gave 3 , the product resulting from the alkyl group migration, as the major product instead of the tetrazole 2. This prompted the investigation of the Schmidt reaction on aromatic ketones 8 and 12. The product 9 due to alkyl group migration was the major product of the Schmidt reaction on 2-methyl-3,4-dihydro-2H-1-naphthalenone ( 8 ). The β-keto diester 12 gave a mixture of decarb-oxylated lactams after the Schmidt reaction. In this case, the lactam 13 resulting from the migration of the aromatic ring dominated over the other lactam 14. When lactam 14 was subjected to nitration, a single regioisomer was produced and transformed to the bromo alcohol 19. The other approach was based on the single pot ring expansion of the iodolactone 22 to the lactam 23 in the presence of methanolic ammonia. The iodolactone 22 was readily prepared from 2-allylbenzoic acid.

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of 4-（2-Bromophenyl）-3,4,7,8-tetrahydro- 7,7-dimethyl-1-p-tolylquinoline-2,5（1H,6H）-dione

The title compound 4-（2-bromophenyl）-3,4,7,8-tetrahydro-7,7-dimethyl-1-p-tolylquinoline-2,5（1H,6H）-dione 1 （C24H24BrNO2, Mr = 438.35） was synthesized and characterized by IR, 1H NMR and elemental analysis. The crystal belongs to monoclinic, space group C2/c with a = 27.565（14）, b = 10.079（5）, c = 15.917（8） A,β = 111.059（9）°, Z = 8, V = 4127（4）A3, Dc = 1.411 g·cm^-3,μ（MoKa） = 2.011 mm^-1, F（000） = 1808, the final R = 0.0417 and wR = 0.1032 for 2393 observed reflections （I 〉 2σ（I））. X-ray analysis reveals that the pyridine ring adopts a distorted boat conformation, while another six-membered ring takes a half-chair conformation. In addition, there are non-classical hydrogen bonds of C-H…O and C-H…Br in the structure. The short distance （3.481A） between the adjacent 2-bromophenyl rings indicates the existence of π-π interaction.

Synthesis of 3(2- and 4-Pyridinyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2(3H)ones

The synthetic objective of preparing halo- and halo- plus alkoxy-substituted pyridyloxadiazolones was achieved by allowing an alkali metal salt of an oxadiazolone to displace a leaving group on a halo- or halo- plus alkoxy-substituted pyridine, respectively. Other routes failed to give the desired compounds, and they are briefly discussed.
