Methyl 2-(benzyloxycarbonyl)aimno-3-dimemylaminopropenoate ( 2 ) was prepared from methyl N-(benzyloxycarbonyl)glycinate ( 1 ) and t-butoxybis(dimethylamino)methane, and used as a reagent for preparation of substituted 3-(benzyloxycarbonyl)amino-4H-quinolizin-4-ones 5 and 6 , ?2H-pyran-2-ones 17–19 , ?2H-1-benzopyran-2-ones 28–31 , and -naphthopyrans 32–35 , ?2H-pyrano[3,2-c]pyridine-2,5-dione 46 , -pyrano-[4,3-b]pyran-2,5-dione 47 , -pyrano[3,2-c]benzopyran-2,5-dione 48 , -pyrano[2,3-c]pyrazol-6-ones 49 and 50 , -pyrano[2,3-d]pyrirnidin-7-ones 51 and 52 derivatives. In the reaction of 2 with 1,3-diketones trisubsti tuted pyrroles 14–16 were formed. Selective removal of benzyloxycarbonyl group was achieved by cat alytic transfer hydrogenation with Pd/C in the presence of cyclohexene to afford free 3-amino compounds 7 , 8 , 20 , 36–38 and 53–57 in yields better than 80%.     

Electron impact mass spectrometry of hemiterpenoid tricyclic quinoline alkaloids

The mass spectral behaviour of some quinoline-type alkaloids, 3,4-dihydro-2H,5H-pyrano[3,2-c]quinolin-5-ones, isomeric 3,4-dihydro-2H,5H-pyrano[2,3-b]quinolin-5-ones and 2H,5H-pyrano[3,2-c]quinolin-5-ones, was studied in detail with the aid of linked scans, exact mass measurements and collisional spectrometry. The occurrence of a partial isomerization of the differently annulated isomers to a common, open-chain structure is discussed.     

A facile route to phenyl, phenylsulfanyl and phenylselanyl substituted pyrano[3,2-c]chromenes

The synthesis of phenyl, phenylsulfanyl and phenylselanyl substituted pyrano[3,2-c]chromenes 4 is accomplished via cyclocondensation of 4-oxo-4H-chromen-3-carbaldehydes 1 with appropriately substituted acetic acids 2 under mild conditions. Further treatment of 4 with alcohol or water led to 5-alkoxy- and 5-hydroxy-2H,5H-pyrano[3,2-c]chromen-2-ones 5 and 6, respectively. Acid and thermal catalysed rearrangement of 4-6 gave 5-hydroxypyrano[2,3-b]chromen-2(10aH)-ones 7 and their subsequent substitution led to 5-alkoxyderivatives 8. Reaction of 4 with amides led to 5-acylamino or 5-phenylsulfonamino substituted 2H,5H-pyrano[3,2-c]chromen-2-ones 9. Reactions were performed under heating or microwave irradiation.     

Reaction of N-Heterocycles with Acetylenedicarboxylates in the Presence of N-Alkylisatins or Ninhydrin. Efficient Synthesis of Spiro Compounds

Summary. The 1,3-dipolar intermediates generated by addition of isoquinoline, to dialkyl acetylenedicaboxylates are trapped by N-alkylisatins to produce dialkyl 1,2-dihydro-2-oxo-1-alkylspiro[3H-indol-3,2′-[2H,11bH][1,3]oxazino[2,3-a]isoquinoline]-3′,4′-dicarboxylates in excellent yields. The reaction of isoquinoline, quinoline, or pyridine with dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate in the presence of ninhydrin led to dimethyl 1,2-dihydro-1,3-dioxospiro[3H-indene-3,2′-[2H,11bH][1,3]oxazino[2,3-a]isoquinoline]-3′,4′-dicarboxylate, dimethyl 1,2-dihydro-1,3-dioxospiro[3H-indene-3,3′[3H,4aH][1,3]oxazino[3,2-a]quinoline]-1,2-dicarboxylate, or dimethyl 1,2-dihydro-1,3-dioxospiro[3H-indene-3,2′-[2H,9aH]pyrido[2,1-b][1,3]oxazino]-3,4-dicarboxylate.     

Synthesis of tricyclic and tetracyclic thieno[3,2-f]-1,4-thiazepines

Treatment of 5-methylthio-2,3-dihydrothieno[3,2-f]-1,4-thiazepine ( 9 ) with acylhydrazines gave 5,6-dihydrothieno[3,2-f]-1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-d][1,4]thiazepines 10, 11 , and that of 9 with ethyl anthranilate gave 5,6-dihydrothieno[3′,2′:6,7][1,4]thiazepino[5,4-b]quinazolin-8-one ( 14 ). Reaction of 9 with hydrazine hydrate or 4-chlorophenylhydrazine afforded 5-hydrazino compounds 12, 15 , which were subsequently cyclized to ethyl 5,6-dihydrothieno[3,2-f]-1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-d][1,4]thiazepine-3-carboxylate ( 13 ), 2-(4-chlorophenyl)-5,6-dihydrothieno[3,2-f]-1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-d][1,4]thiazepin-3(2H)-one ( 16 ) and 2-(4-chlorophenyl)-6,7-dihydro-2H-thieno[3,2-f][1,2,4]triazino[4,3-d][1,4]thiazepine-3,4-dione ( 17 ). New thieno-anellated heterocycles were prepared with the aim of studying their affinity for the benzodiazepine receptors.     

Convenient synthesis of linear 2H,6H-pyrano[3,2-g] chromenes from natural occurring compound; visnagin

Abstract

A simple and convenient rout for the synthesis of linear 2-imino-2H,6H-pyrano[3,2-g] chromen-6-ones and 2H,6H-pyrano[3,2-g]chromene-2,6-diones has been described starting from natural occurring furochromone; visnagin (1). Ring opening of 1 yielded 6-formyl-7-hydroxy-5-methoxy-2-methylchromone (2), which underwent reaction with different acetonitrile derivatives furnished 2-imino-2H,6H-pyrano[3,2-g] chromen-6-ones (5a–h). Acid hydrolysis of 5a–h led to the formation of 2H,6H-pyrano[3,2-g]chromene-2,6-diones (6a–h). Structures of the synthesized compounds were clarified based on their elemental analyses and spectral data. The entire target compounds were selected for in vitro anticancer activity against 60 human cancer cell lines at a single dose (10^?5 M) by the National Cancer Institute (NCI, Bethesda, USA).     

Quinazolincs and 1,4-benzodiazepines. LXXXVI. The synthesis of imidazothienodiazepines and imidazopyrazolodiazepines

The thieno[3,2-e][1,4]diazepin-2-one ( 1a ), the thieno[2,3-e] [ 1,4] diazepin-2-one ( 1b ), the pyrazolo[3,4-e][1,4]diazepin-2-one ( 1c ) and a chloro analog of 1b , compound 1d , were each converted to derivatives of the novel tricyclic ring systems 4H-imidazo[1,5-a]thieno[2,3-f] [1,4]-diazepine, 4Himidazo[1,5a]thieno[2,3f][1,4]diazepine and 4H-imidazo[ 1,5-a]pyrazolo[4,3-f]-[1,4]diazepine. Depending on the substituents desired on the imidazo ring, two different synthetic pathways were employed.     

Pyrrolocoumarin derivatives as potential photoreagents toward DNA

A number of new methyl derivatives of linear and angular pyrrolocoumarins were synthesized by direct Fischer's indole synthesis. In the same way some linear 2H,10H-pyrano[2,3-b]carbazol-2-one and angular 2H,7H-pyrano[3,2-c]carbazol-2-one were prepared. The synthesis was performed starting from the 4-methyl-7-aminocoumarin and methyl groups were introduced into positions which look most promising for the photoreactivity of the compounds toward DNA.     

New method for the synthesis of substituted thieno[3,2-b]pyridines and 5H-pyrano[2,3-d]thieno[3,2-b]pyridines derived from them

A new highly selective method was developed for the synthesis of substituted thieno[3,2-b]-pyridines based on the domino reaction of monopotassium salt (rather than dipotassium one) of carbamoylcyanodithioacetic acid with ethyl 4-chloroacetoacetate. Substituted 5H-pyrano[2,3-d]-thieno[3,2-b]pyridines were synthesized based on these thieno[3,2-b]pyridines.     

Reaction of ketenes with N,N-disubstituted α-aminomethyleneketones. XIII. Synthesis of 2H-pyrano[3,2-d]-1-benzoxepin derivatives

Cycloaddition of dichloroketone to N,N-disubstituted (E)-4-aminomethylene-3,4-dihydro-1-benzoxepin-5(2H)-ones gave N,N-disubstituted 4-amino-3,3-dichloro-3,4,5,6-tetrahydro-2H-pyrano[3,2-d]-1-benzoxepin-2-ones II, which are derivatives of the new heterocyclic system 2H-pyrano[3,2-d]-1-benzoxepin. Dehydrochlorination with triethylamine of II afforded N,N-disubstituted 4-amino-3-chloro-5,6-dihydro-2H-pyrano-[3,2-d]-1-benzoxepin-2-ones III in good to moderate yields. In the triethylamine treatment of IIh (NR₂ = diphenylamino), 3-chloro-5,6-dihydro-2H-pyrano[3,2-d]-1-benzoxepin-2-one was isolated in low yield near to IIIh, whereas IIc (NR² = diisopropylamino) gave in low yield 4-diisopropylamino-5,6-dihydro-2H-pyrano(3,2-d)-1-benzoxepin-2-one.     

Synthesis and antimicrobial activity of new derivatives of pyrano[4',3':4',5']pyrido[3',2':4,5]thieno[3,2-d]pyrimidine and new heterocyclic systems

Taking into account previously obtained biological results on some polyheterocyclic compounds (containing different heteroatoms) and in particular on several 8-amino-5-isopropyl-2,2-dimethyl-10-(methylthio)-1,4-dihydro-2H-pyrano[4’’,3’’:4’,5’]pyrido[3’,2’:4,5]thieno[3,2-d]pyrimidines Ia-v we have carried out the synthesis of twentyone 8-amino-5-isobutyl-2,2-dimethyl-10-(methylthio)-1,4-dihydro-2H-pyrano[4’’,3’’:4’,5’]pyrido[3’,2’:4,5]thieno[3,2-d]pyrimidines 6. Therefore we have slightly modified the structure of the previously studied I introducing at C-5 an isobutyl group instead of the previously examined isopropyl ones in order to see if this variation (changing a little the lipophilicity) will affect the biological activity. Furthermore thieno[3,2-d]pyrimidine-8-thione 7 and their S-alkylated 8 were synthesized. Finally by alkylation of 5-isobutyl-2,2-dimethyl-10-thioxo-1,4,10,11-tetrahydro-2H-pyrano[4'',3'':4',5']pyrido[3',2':4,5]thieno[3,2-d]pyrimidin-8(9H)-one 3 with alkyl dichlorides (bifunctional reagents) we realized the cyclization of a thiazole or thiazine ring on the [b] side of the pyrimidine ring with formation of the new condensed pentaheterocyclic systems: pyrano[4'',3'':4',5']pyrido[3',2':4,5]thieno[3,2-d][1,3]thiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidin-8-one 11 and pyrano[4''',3''':4'',5'']pyrido[3'',2'':4',5']thieno[3',2':4,5]pyrimido[2,1-b][1,3]thiazin-8-one 12. It was found that some of the synthesized compounds showed interesting antimicrobial activity (by agar diffusion method) against some gram-positive and gram-negative bacilli strains.     

Condensed Pyridazines. Part I. Synthesis of 2-Oxo-2H-pyrano[2,3-D]-pyridazine and 2-Oxo-2H-pyrano[2,3-c] pyridazine

The reaction of 4,7-diehlorofuro[2,3-d]pyridazine (1) with potassium cyanide in DMSO gave two products, (E)-3,6-diehloro-5-(2-cyanovinyl)-4-hydroxypyridazine (II) and 5,8-dichloro-2-oxo-2H-pyrano[2,3-d]pyridazine (III) as a result of ring opening or ring expansion. A new ring system, 2-oxo-2H-pyrano[2,3-c]pyridazines (IX, XII, XIII) was obtained from 5,8-dichloro-3-methyl-2-oxo-2H-pyrano[2,3-d]pyridazine (VI).     

New Entry to 9-Acetyl/Formyl-Substituted 2H,8H-Pyrano[2,3-f]Chromen-2-ones through Baylis–Hillman Reaction

A new facile route to 9-acetyl/formyl-substituted 2H,8H-pyrano[2,3-f]chromen-2-ones is described. The Baylis–Hillman reaction involving the condensation of methyl vinyl ketone/acrolein with 7-hydroxy-2-oxo-2H-chromen-8-carbaldehydes in the presence of diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane (DABCO) under N₂ atmosphere at room temperature furnished the desired compounds in good yields.     

Synthesis of 6-methyl-6H-indolo[3,2-c]isoquinoline and 6-methyl-6H-indolo[2,3-c]isoquinoline: two new unnatural isoquinoline isomers of the cryptolepine series

11H-indolo[3,2-c]isoquinoline has been synthesized in two steps starting from 4-bromoisoquinoline and 2-bromoaniline via a selective Buchwald-Hartwig reaction followed by a Pd-catalyzed intramolecular direct arylation involving C(sp²)-H activation. The synthesis of 7H-indolo[2,3-c]isoquinoline was achieved by a combination of a Suzuki reaction with an intramolecular nitrene insertion reaction starting from 4-bromoisoquinoline and {2-[(2,2-dimethylpropanoyl)amino]phenyl}boronic acid. Selective methylation of the tetracyclic skeletons yielded the title compounds 6-methyl-6H-indolo[3,2-c]isoquinoline and 6-methyl-6H-indolo[2,3-c]isoquinoline, which have never been described in the literature before.     

A facile approach to 6-amino-2H-pyrano[2,3-g]isoquinolin-2-ones via a sequential Sonogashira coupling of 6-cyanoumbelliferone triflate and annulations with amines

Palladium-catalyzed synthesis of 2H-pyrano[2,3-g]isoquinolinones have been described from easily accessible precursor 6-cyanoumbelliferone triflate via sequential of Sonogashira coupling and the following annulations with several primary alkylamines under basic conditions The so obtained 6-propargylamino-2H-pyrano[2,3-g]isoquinolinones were involved in the CuAAC reaction with 2-azidobenzoic acid for obtaining 2H-pyrano[2,3-g]isoquinoline-benzoic acid hybrid compounds containing a 1,2,3-triazole linker.     

Synthesis of new heterocycles. 3,4-dihydropyrano[2,3,4-hi]indolizine and derivatives

Interaction of the lithium derivative of 2,3-dihydro-4H-pyrano[3,2-b]pyridine with the diethyl acetal of bromoacetaldehyde, followed by hydrolysis and subsequent ring closure afforded the novel heterocycle 3,4-dihydropyrano[2,3,4-hi]indolizine which was inacessible by the Tschitschibabin method. However, the 2-phenyl derivative was easily prepared by the Tschitschibabin method.     

Condensed benzopyrans. IV. Synthesis of some derivatives of 7H- and 9H-pyrano[3,2-E]indoles

The hydrazones derived from coumarin-6-ylhydrazine and ethyl 6-hydrazinochromone-2-carboxylate undergo facile indolization to give 3H,7H-pyrano[3,2-e]indol-7-ones (IIIb-IIIg) and ethyl 9-oxo-3H,9H-pyrano[3,2-e]indole-7-carboxylates (IVb-IVd), respectively, in good yields. Compounds IVb-IVd are derivatives of a new ring system.     

Synthesis of 5,8-Diamino-Substituted Pyrano[4″,3″:4′,5′]pyrido[3′,2′:4,5]thieno[3,2-<Emphasis Type="Italic">d</Emphasis>]pyrimidines and Pyrimido[4′,5′:4,5]thieno[2,3-<Emphasis Type="Italic">c</Emphasis>]isoquinolines

Ethyl 1-amino-8,8-dimethyl-5-(piperidin-1-yl)-8,9-dihydro-6H-pyrano[4,3-d]thieno[2,3-b]pyridine-2-carboxylate and ethyl 1-amino-5-(piperidin-1-yl)-6,7,8,9-tetrahydrothieno[2,3-c]isoquinoline-2-carboxylate reacted with benzoyl isothiocyanate to give the corresponding 1-thioureido derivatives which underwent cyclization to 2,2-dimethyl-5-(piperidin-1-yl)-10-thioxo-1,4,10,11-tetrahydro-2H-pyrano[4″,3″:4′,5′]pyrido-[3′,2′:4,5]thieno[3,2-d]pyrimidin-8(9H)-one and 5-(piperidin-1-yl)-10-thioxo-1,2,3,4,10,11-hexahydropyrimido-[4′,5′:4,5]thieno[2,3-c]isoquinolin-8(9H)-one. The cyclization products were converted into 8-chloro derivatives, and the chlorine atom therein was replaced by various amines.     

Synthèse et propriétés photochromiques de 1, 3-dihydrospiro[2H-indole-2,3′-[3H]pyrimido[5,4-f][1,4]benzoxazines] et de 1,3-dihydrospiro[2H-indole-2,7′-[7H]thiazolo[5,4-f][1,4]benzoxazines]

Synthesis and Photochrmic Characteristics of 1,3-Dihydrospiro[2H-indole-2,3′-[3H-]pyrimido[5,4-f][1,4]benzoxazines] and 1,3-Dihydrospiro[2H-indole-2,7′[7H]thiazolo[5,4-f][1,4]benzoxazines] Two new series of 1,3-dihydrospiro[2H-indole-ozazine] derivatives were synthesized, the 1,3-dihydrospiro[2H-indole-2,3′-[3H]pyrimido[5,4]pyrimido[5,4-f][1,4]benzoxaines] 4-10 and the 1,3-dihydrospiro[2H-indole2,7′-[7H]thiazolo-[5,4-f][1,4]benzoxaines] 11–17 . These series extend the available range of photochromic properties (rate constant of thermal bleaching, UV/VIS spectrum of the opened coloured form, and photocoloration yield), an interesting feature of variable-transmission materials. The synthesis of these compounds (Scheme 1) required the preliminary synthesis of intermediate β-hydroxy-α-nitrosotherocycles 18 and 19 (Scheme 2). Important amounts of a coloured, non-photochromic, stable secondary product (See 20 ) were found in the condensation in the spiro[indole-thiazolobenzoxazine] series. The photochromic characteristics of the new derivatives were determined using a flash-photolysis apparatus coupled to a fast-scanning spectrometer. The role of the heteroatoms in the oxazine moiety and the role of substitutents in the indole moiety were investigated quantitatively through the study of the photochromic properties and the solvent effects. The presence of an S-atom gives rise to interesting properties which open up new prospects for synthesis and application.     

Synthesis of heterocyclic compounds from 4-formylpyrazoles
