Condensation of arylaldehydes with 4-aminomethyl-1-phenyl-5-(1-pyrryl)pyrazole afforded the title compounds. Bischler-Napieralski intramolecular cyclization of 4-acetamidomethyl-1-phenyl-5-(1-pyrryl)pyrazole was also studied. The reaction led to 6-methyl-1-phenyl-1H,4H-pyrazolo[4,3-f]pyrrolo[1,2-a][1,4]diazepine or alternatively to 4-chloromethyl-1-phenyl-5-(1-pyrryl)pyrazole depending on the solvent used.     

Stereoselective cycloadditions of (1Z,4R,5R)-1-arylmethylidene-4-benzoylamino-5-phenylpyrazolidin-3-on-1-azomethine imines to maleimides

A library of 15 1,6,7,9-tetrasubstituted 6,7,9,9a-tetrahydro-5H-pyrazolo[1,2-a]pyrrolo[3,4-c]pyrazole-1,3,5(2H,3aH)-triones was prepared by combinatorial stereoselective cycloadditions of (1Z,4R^∗,5R^∗)-1-arylmethylidene-4-benzoylamino-5-phenylpyrazolidin-3-on-1-azomethine imines to N-substituted maleimides. Stereochemistry was controlled by the stereodirecting phenyl group at position-3 and by the ortho-substituents at the aromatic ring at position-1′ in azomethine imines. Consequently, two sets of diastereomeric cycloadducts were obtained, one set from the ortho-unsubstituted dipoles and the other set from the ortho-disubstituted dipoles.

The reaction of methyl 2-bromo-6-(trifluoromethyl)-3-pyridinecarboxylate ( 1 ) with methanesulfonamide gave methyl 2-[(methylsulfonyl)amino]-6-(trifluoromethyl)-3-pyridine-carboxylate ( 2 ). Alkylation of compound 2 with methyl iodide followed by cyclization of the resulting methyl 2-[methyl(methylsulfonyl)amino]-6-(trifluoromethyl)-3-pyridinecarboxylate ( 3 ) yielded 1-methyl-7-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-pyrido[2,3-c][1,2]thiazin-4(3H)-one 2,2-dioxide ( 4 ). The reaction of compound 4 with α,2,4-trichlorotoluene, methyl bromopropionate, methyl iodide, 3-trifluoromethylphenyl isocyanate, phenyl isocyanate and 2,4-dichloro-5-(2-propynyloxy)phenyl isothiocyanate gave, respectively, 4-[(2,4-dichlorophenyl)methoxy]-1-methyl-7-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-pyrido[2,3-c][1,2]thiazine 2,2-dioxide ( 5 ), methyl 2-[[1-methyl-2,2-dioxido-7-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-pyrido[2,3-c][1,2]thiazin-4-yl]oxy]propanoate ( 6 ), 1,3,3-trimethyl-7-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-pyrido[2,3-c][1,2]thiazin-4(3H)-one 2,2-dioxide ( 7 ), 4-hydroxy-1-methyl-7-(trifluoromethyl)-N-[3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-1H-pyrido[2,3-c][1,2]thiazine-3-carboxamide 2,2-dioxide ( 8 ), 4-hydroxy-1-methyl-7-(trifluoromethyl)-N-phenyl-1H-pyrido[2,3-c][1,2]thiazine-3-carboxamide 2,2-dioxide ( 9 ) and N-[2,4-dichloro-5-(2-propynyloxy)phenyl]-4-hydroxy-1-methyl-7-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-pyrido[2,3-c][1,2] thiazine-3-carboxamide 2,2-dioxide ( 10 ).

The synthesis of 5-substituted 3-benzoylamino-6-(2-substituted amino-1-ethenyl)-2H-pyran-2-ones and their transformations into 2H-pyrano[3,2-c]pyridine derivatives

A new approach to the 2H-pyrano[3,2-c]pyridine system is described. 5,6-Disubstituted 3-benzoylamino-2H-pyran-2-ones 3a,b , prepared from the corresponding 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds 1a,b and methyl (Z)-2-benzoylamino-3-dimethylaminopropenoate ( 2 ), were converted into 3-benzoylamino-6-(2-dimethylamino-1-ethenyl)-5-ethoxycarbonyl-2H-pyran-2-one ( 4a ) and 5-acetyl derivative 4b . The exchange of the dimethylamino group in 4a,b with aromatic amines 5a-f,m , héteroaromatic amines 5g-i , and benzylamines 5j-l produced 5-ethoxycarbonyl-3-benzoylamino-6-(2-arylamino- or heteroarylamino-or benzylamino-1-ethenyl)-2H-pyran-2-ones 6a-l , and its 5-acetyl analog 6m . The compounds 6 were cyclized in basic media into 2H-pyrano[3,2-c]pyridine derivatives 7a-h . Analogously react also α-amino acid derivatives 8a-c and 11 as nitrogen nucleophiles producing 9a-c, 10 and 12 .     

Studies on ketene and its derivatives. Part 119. Reactions of haloketenes with 2-arylideneaminopyridines

Reactions of haloketenes with 2-arylideneaminopyridines were examined. Reaction of dichloroketene with 2-benzylideneaminopyridines gave 2,2-dichloro-3-phenyl-3-(2-pyridylamino)propanoic acids and 3-chloro-2-phenylpyrido[1,2-a]pyrimidin-4(4H)-ones. Similar reaction of dichloroketene with 2-(2-furfurylideneamino)-pyridines gave 3-chloro-2-(2-furyl)pyrido[1,2-a]pyrimidin-4-(4H)-ones. Chloroketene and chlorophenylketene also reacted with 2-arylideneaminopyridines to give pyrido[1,2-a]pyrimidin-4(4H)-ones. Ring transformations of pyrido[1,2-a]pyrimidin-4-(4H)-ones were carried out to give 1,8-naphthyridin-4(1H)-ones and imidazo[1,2-a]-pyridines.     

A convenient procedure for the synthesis of chiral 6,7-dihydroxy-1-phenylamino-dihydro-1H-pyrrolo[1,2-a]imidazole-2,5(3H,6H)-diones

The cyclocondensation reactions between l-α-amino acid phenylhydrazides and 2,3-O-isopropylidene-l-erythruronolactone in the presence of a catalytic amount of p-toluenesulfonic acid afforded diastereomerically pure (3S,6R,7R,7aS)-3-substituted-6,7-isopropylidenedioxy-1-phenylamino-dihydro-1H-pyrrolo[1,2-a]imidazole-2,5(3H,6H)-diones, which were converted by acidic hydrolysis with MeOH–HCl into their corresponding optically active (3S,6R,7R,7aS)-3-substituted-6,7-dihydroxy-1-phenylamino-dihydro-1H-pyrrolo[1,2-a]imidazole-2,5(3H,6H)-diones in good yields.     

Synthesis of (+)-1,3:2,5-dianhydroviburnitol ((+)-(1R,2R,3S,5R,6S)-4,7-dioxatricyclo[3.2.1.03,6]octan-2-ol)

Epoxidation of (?)-(1R,2R,4R)-2-endo-cyano-7-oxabicyclo[2.2.1]hept-5-en-2-exo-yl acetate ((?)-5) followed by saponification afforded (+)-(1R,4R,5R,6R)-5,6-exo-epoxy-7-oxabicyclo[2.2.1]heptan-2-one ((+)-7). Reduction of (+)-7 with diisobutylaluminium hydride (DIBAH) gave (+)-1,3:2,5-dianhydroviburnitol ( = (+)-(1R,2R,3S,4R,6S)-4,7-dioxatricyclo[3.2.1.0^3,6]octan-2-ol; (+)-3). Hydride reductions of (±)-7 were less exo-face selective than reductions of bicyclo[2.2.1]heptan-2-one and its derivatives with NaBH₄, AlH₃, and LiAlH₄ probably because of smaller steric hindrance to endo-face hydride attack when C(5) and C(6) of the bicyclo-[2.2.1]heptan-2-one are part of an exo oxirane ring.     

Synthesis of pyrimidino[4,5-b][1,5]benzodiazepin-2-ones and pyrimidino[1,6-a]benzimidazol-1-ones from 4-ethoxycarbonylamino-1H-1,5-benzodiazpine-3-carbonitrile via 4-(2-aminoanilino)pyrimidin-2(1H)-one-5-carbonitriles

Reactions of 4-ethoxycarbonylamino-1H-1,5-benzodiazepine-3-carbonitrile (2) with aliphatic primary amines gave 1-substituted 4-(2-aminoanilino)pyrimidin-2(1H)-one-5-carbonitriles 3. Analogous reactions of 2 with aromatic primary amines afforded 2-(2′-anilino-1′-cyanovinyl)benzimidazoles 5 and 6. Upon treatment with triethylamine, 3 underwent intramolecular cyclization to give 3-substituted 5-aminopyrimidino[4,5-b]-[1,5]benzodiazepin-2(3H,11H)-ones 8 . Heating of 3 with p-toluenesulfonic acid in ethanol gave 2-substituted pyrimidino[1,6-a]benzimidazol-1(2H)one-4-carbonitriles 9 . Reactions of 2 with hydrazines were also described. Mechanistic pathways are proposed to account for the products.     

New chiral phosphine-phosphonites derived from (2R,3R)-dimethyl tartrate, (S)-binaphthol and (1R,2S)-ephedrine

The reaction of 2-lithiophenyldiphenylphosphine with phosphorus trichloride afforded the new unsymmetric phosphine, dichloro(2-diphenylphosphinophenyl)phosphine (4). Condensation of 4 with (a) (2R,3R)-dimethyl tartrate or (b) (S)-binaphthol in the presence of triethylamine gave new chiral phosphine-phosphonite ligands, (2R,3R)-[2-(2′-(diphenylphosphino)phenyl)-4,5-bis(carbomethoxy)-1,3,2-dioxaphospholane] ((2R,3R)-5) and (S)-[2-(diphenylphosphino)benzene][1,1′-binaphthalen-2,2′-diyl]phosphonite] ((S)-6). The analogous reaction of 4 with (1R,2S)-ephedrine using N-methylmorpholine as the base, gave [2-(2′-(diphenylphosphino)phenyl)-3,4-dimethyl-5-phenyl-1,3,2-oxazaphospholidine] (7) as a 95:5 mixture of diastereoisomers.     

Regio- and stereoselective cycloadditions of (1Z,4R,5R)-1-arylmethylidene-4-benzoylamino-3-oxo-5-phenylpyrazolidin-1-ium-2-ides to methyl methacrylate

Stereocontrol was dependent on the ortho-substituents at the 1′-aryl group in dipole 1: ortho-unsubstituted dipoles 1a-c gave the major (1R^∗,3R^∗,5R^∗,6R^∗)-isomers 3a-c, whilst ortho-disubstituted dipoles gave the major (1R^∗,3S^∗,5R^∗,6R^∗)-isomers 3′d,e. The structures of cycloadducts were determined by NMR and X-ray diffraction.     

Reaction of sulfene with heterocyclic N,N-disubstituted α-aminomethvlene ketones V. Synthesis of 1,2-oxatliiino[5.6-c] pyridine and 1,2-oxathiino[5,6-c] quinoline derivatives

Slow air oxidation in the cold of intermediates 2,3-dihydro-3-hydroymethyIene-1-(methyl, phenyl)-4(1H) quinolones gave the corresponding 1-substituted 1,4-dihydro-4-oxo-3-quinolinecarboxyaldehydes.
