Synthesis and transformations of polyhedral compounds. Synthesis of 2-[quinolin-3(2)-yl]-1,3-diazaadamantanes

A number of new 1,3-diazaadamantane derivatives containing quinoline fragments on C² have been synthesized by condensation of 1,5-dialkyl-3,7-diazabicyclo[3.3.1]nonan-9-one, 1,5-dimethyl-3,7-diazabicyclo-[3.3.1]nonan-9-ol, and 1,5-dimethyl-3,7-diazabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane with 2-oxo-1,2-dihydroquinoline-3-carbaldehyde, 2-chloro- and 2-iodoquinoline-3-carbaldehyde, and quinoline-2-carbaldehyde.     

Synthesis,crystal and molecular structure of 3,7-ditosyl-1,5-diphenyl-3,7-diazabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane

3,7-Ditosyl-1,5-diphenyl-3,7-diazabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane has been found to adopt a chair–chair conformation in the crystalline state in contrast to 3,7-ditosyl-1,5-diphenyl-3,7-diazabicyclo[3.3.1]nonan-9-one, which had been previously found to exist in a chair-boat conformation.     

Complex formation of copper(II) and palladium(II) with L,L-3,7-bis[2-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-1-(methoxycarbonyl)ethyl]-1,5-di(ethoxycarbonyl)-3,7-diazabicyclo[3.3.1]nonan-9-one

Complexation of copper(II) chloride, copper(II) triflate, and palladium(II) chloride with optically active L,L-3,7-bis[2-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-1-(methoxycarbonyl)ethyl]-1,5-di(ethoxycarbonyl)-3,7-diazabicyclo[3.3.1]nonan-9-one was studied.     

1H and 13C NMR spectral assignments of some novel 2,4,6,8-tetraaryl-3,7-diazabicyclo[3.3.1]nonan-9-one derivatives

The (1)H and (13)C NMR spectra of 2,4,6,8-tetraaryl-3,7-diazabicyclo[3.3.1]nonan-9-ones (1-2), oximes (3-8) and O-benzyl oximes (9-12) were recorded. The chemical shifts were unambiguously assigned using 1D and 2D NMR spectral data. The results clearly indicate that the compounds exist in chair-boat conformation with equatorial and axial orientation of the aryl groups in the chair and boat forms, respectively. Since the molecules are flexible and dynamic in solution, the chair and boat forms are mutually interconvertible. In 3-12, because of the effect of oximation/oximination, all the protons in the heterobicyclic systems gave distinct signals except the benzylic protons of the boat form. In all synthesized compounds, the aryl group protons at C-6,8 are shielded by the aryl groups at C-2,4 and therefore appear in the lower frequency region than the aryl groups at C-2,4.     

Anticancer Cytotoxic Activity of Bispidine Derivatives Associated with the Increasing Catabolism of Polyamines

Polyamine (PA) catabolism is often reduced in cancer cells. The activation of this metabolic pathway produces cytotoxic substances that might cause apoptosis in cancer cells. Chemical compounds able to restore the level of PA catabolism in tumors could become potential antineoplastic agents. The search for activators of PA catabolism among bicyclononan-9-ones is a promising strategy for drug development. The aim of the study was to evaluate the biological activity of new 3,7-diazabicyclo[3.3.1]nonan-9-one derivatives that have antiproliferative properties by accelerating PA catabolism. Eight bispidine derivatives were synthetized and demonstrated the ability to activate PA catabolism in regenerating rat liver homogenates. However, only three of them demonstrated a potent ability to decrease the viability of cancer cells in the MTT assay. Compounds 4c and 4e could induce apoptosis more effectively in cancer HepG2 cells rather than in normal WI-38 fibroblasts. The lead compound 4e could significantly enhance cancer cell death, but not the death of normal cells if PAs were added to the cell culture media. Thus, the bispidine derivative 4e 3-(3-methoxypropyl)-7-[3-(1H-piperazin-1-yl)ethyl]-3,7-diazabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane could become a potential anticancer drug substance whose mechanism relies on the induction of PA catabolism in cancer cells.     

Molecular and crystal structure of 3,7-di(2-propenyl)-1,5-diphenyl-3,7-diazabicyclo[3.3.1]-nonan-9-one complexed with copper(II) chloride

We have investigated the molecular and crystal structure of 3, 7-di(2-propenyl)-1, 5-diphenyl-3, 7-diazabicyclo[3.3.1]nonan-9-one complexed with copper(II) chloride. We have shown for the first time that the reason for the distortion of the coordination polyhedron of the metal is the interaction of the substituents at the nitrogen atoms with the halogen atoms.Communication 2 in the series Complexing properties of 3,7-diazabicyclo[3.3.1]nonanes.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 6, pp. 770–774, June, 1996.

Facile Preparation of 3,7-Diazabicyclo[3.3.0]octane and 3,7,10-Triheterocyclic [3.3.3]Propellane Ring Systems from 1,5-Diazacyclooctane 3,7-Derivatives(1)

The cyclodimerization of p-toluenesulfonamide and 3-chloro-2-(chloromethyl)-1-propene to prepare N,N'-bis(p-toluenesulfonyl)-3,7-bis(methylene)-1,5-diazacyclooctane (1a) and its ozonation to the corresponding 3,7-dione 2a are reported. Unusual transannular cyclizations initiated by lithium aluminum hydride treatment or bromination of 1a and oxidative coupling of the dioxime derived from 2a are described. These reactions lead, respectively, to the following derivatives of the little-studied 3,7-diazabicyclo[3.3.0]octane ring system: 1,5-dimethyl-3,7-diazabicyclo[3.3.0]octane (5), N,N'-bis(p-toluenesulfonyl)-1,5-bis(bromomethyl)-3,7-diazabicyclo[3.3.0]octane (8), and N,N'-bis(p-toluenesulfonyl)-1,5-dinitro-3,7-diazabicyclo[3.3.0]octane, (12). Acid-catalyzed hydration of 1a, in contrast, gives the expected 5-methyl-3,7-diazabicyclo[3.3.1]nonan-1-ol (10). Reaction of the dibromide 8 with the nucleophiles, sodium sulfide, sodium oxide, and sodium p-toluenesulfonamide conveniently delivers the corresponding novel 3,7,10-triheterocyclic [3.3.3]propellanes.     

Synthesis and structure of new 3,7-diazabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane derivatives

Aminomethylation of triethylammonium 4-aryl-3,5-dicyano-6-oxo-1,4,5,6-tetrahydropyridin-2-olates and their sulfur and selenium analogs, as well as the structure of formed products, were studied in details. The reaction is of general character and leads to the formation of 7-substituted 9-aryl-2,4-dioxo-, 9-aryl-4-oxo-2-thioxo-, 9-aryl-4-oxo-2-selenoxo-3,7-diazabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane derivatives or their salts.

Bicyclo[3.3.1]nonanes as synthetic intermediates XIII. : Novel transannular hydride shifts enforced by relief of the steric constraint in the bicyclo[3.3.1]nonane system bearing endo-substituents at position 7

The Huang-Minlon reduction of 7α-hydroxymethylbicycl4o[3.3.1]- nonan-3-one (1) gave 7β-methylbicyclo[3.3.1]nonan-3 β-ol (2), a product formed as a result of the transannular 1,6-hydride shift enforced by relief of the stenc constraint in the system. Another example of the intramolecular hydride transfer on the same basis was observed in the deketalization of 9,9-disubstituted 7,7-ethylenedioxybicyclo[3.3.1 ]- nonan-3 β-ol (13 and 18) resulting in the formation of 7 β-(2-hydroxyethoxy) bicyclo[3.3.1]nonan-3-one (15 and 20).     

New stereoselective intramolecular redox reaction in the system of 3,7-diazabicyclo[3.3.1]nonan-9-one

The ring opening in the 1-benzyl-5,7-dimethyl-6-oxo-1-azonia-3-azaadamantane chloride under the treatment with excess aqueous alkali led to a stereoselective formation of anti-1,5-dimethyl-7-benzyl-3-formyl-3,7-diazabicyclo[3.3.1]nonan-9-ol whose structure was established by means of X-ray diffraction analysis and NMR spectroscopy. A reaction mechanism was suggested involving an intramolecular redox hydride transfer.     

Organocatalytic entry to chiral bicyclo[3.n.1]alkanones via direct asymmetric intramolecular aldolization

[reaction: see text] The facile stereoselective syntheses of endo-8-hydroxybicyclo[3.3.1]nonan-2-one and endo-7-hydroxybicyclo[3.2.1]octan-2-one, featuring an alpha-amino acid catalyzed intramolecular aldolization of sigma-symmetric substrates, are described. A high enantioselectivity and a high catalytic efficiency have been exhibited by (4R,2S)-tetrabutylammonium 4-TBDPSoxy-prolinate in the aldolization of 3-(4-oxocyclohexyl)propionaldehyde to give highly enantiomerically enriched (1S,5R,8R)-8-hydroxybicyclo[3.3.1]nonan-2-one.     

Parallel solid-phase synthesis of novel 3,7-diazabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane derivatives starting from natural alkaloid cytisine

A parallel solid-phase synthesis of combinatorial library of 436 amides of 4-(3,7-diorganyl-3,7-diazabicyclo[3.3.1]nonan-2-yl)butanoic acid has been accomplished starting from natural alcaloid (−)-cytisine. A five-step liquid-phase synthesis resulted in the conversion of cytisine to 7-benzyl-3-[(9H-fluoren-9-yl)methyl]-substituted acids, which were further diversified with the use of solid-phase technology on the acid-susceptible amine resins. The combinatorial library obtained is intended for a discovery of new physiologically active compounds. Published in Russian in Izvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Bispidinone-based molecular switches for construction of stimulus-sensitive liposomal containers

It is demonstrated that new lipid-like amphiphilic compounds, derivatives of 3,7-diazabicyclo[3.3.1]nonan-9-one (bispidinone) with long alkyl substituents, can be integrated into liposomal membranes. They can serve as molecular switches changing the conformation from the chair–boat to chair–chair on addition of an aqueous solution of a bivalent copper salt, and thus enhancing the permeability of the lipid bilayer of liposomes and the release of encapsulated compounds.     

Structure of 3,7-Diazabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane Complexes as the Basis of Creating New Metallocyclic Supramolecular Ensembles

The molecular and crystal structure of the complex of cupric bromide with 1,5-diphenyl-3,7-dimethyl-3,7-diazabicyclo[3.3.1]nonan-9-ones was studied. The geometry of the complexes of bispydines with cupric halides was shown to depend on the substituent at the nitrogen atom.     

Synthetic and structural study of 4-phosphacyclohexanones and 3-aza-7-phosphabicyclo[3.3.1]nonan-9-ones

The synthesis of bicyclic phosphorus–nitrogen (PN) compounds containing the rigid bicyclo[3.3.1]nonan-9-one framework was attempted using the Mannich condensation reaction of four different phosphorinanone classes with amines and aldehydes. Three different isomers of 4-tert-butyl-2,6-di(methoxycarbonyl)-3,5-bis(p-dimethylaminophenyl)-4-phosphacyclohexanone were obtained from the Michael addition reaction of tert-butylphosphine with 2,4-di(methoxycarbonyl)-1,5-bis(p-dimethylaminophenyl)penta-1,4-dien-3-one. The reaction of the all-equatorial isomer with methylamine and formaldehyde produced the bicyclic PN compound 7-tert-butyl-1,5-di(methoxycarbonyl)-6,8-bis(p-dimethylaminophenyl)-3-methyl-3-aza-7-phosphabicyclo[3.3.1]nonan-9-one. The identical Mannich reaction of the enol tautomer also yielded the same product, as well as the PN compound 4-tert-butyl-6-methoxycarbonyl-5-(p-dimethylaminophenyl)-2-methyl-2-aza-4-phosphacyclohexanone and the E/Z isomers of 3-(p-dimethylaminophenyl)methyl-2-propenoate. The newly synthesised 3-aza-7-phosphabicyclo[3.3.1]nonan-9-one PN compound adopts a chair–chair conformation both in solution and the solid state.     

Synthesis and structure of 7-alkoxyalkyl-3-thia-7-zabicyclo[3.3.1]nonan-9-ones and several of their derivatives

New 7-alkoxyalkyl-3-thia-7-azabicyclo[3.3.1]nonan-9-ones were synthesized by the double Mannich cyclization of tetrahydrothiopyran-4-one with suitable alkoxyalkylamines and paraformaldehyde in acetous methanol. Wolff-Kishner decarbonylation of these bicyclic ketones gave 7-alkoxyalkyl-3-thia-7-azabicyclo[3.3.1]nonanes. The reduction of 7-alkoxyalkyl-3-thia-7-azabicyclo[3.3.1]nonan-9-ones by alkali metal hydride complexes leads to a mixture of two stereoisomeric secondary alcohols, which are epimers at C₍₉₎. Active analgesic, antiarrhythmic, and antibacterial compounds were found among these products. __________ Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 4, pp. 585–592, April, 2006.

[reaction: see text] The title alkaloid was synthesized in racemic form from 3,7-diallyl-2,4,6,8-tetraoxo-3,7-diazabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane (7) by a regioselective diallylation reaction followed by double ring-closing olefin metathesis and exhaustive reduction. Tetraoxobispidine 7 was itself prepared in three simple operations from dimethyl malonate. The entire sequence to alpha-isosparteine was conducted on a multigram scale and proceeded without recourse to chromatography.

Synthesis,structural and conformational study of some amides derived from 3,7-dimethyl-9-amino-3,7-diazabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane-9-carboxamide

A series of 3,7-dimethyl-9-amino-3,7-diazabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane-9-carbonitrile and 3,7-dimethyl-9-amino-3,7-diazabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane-9-carboxamide N-substituted have been synthesized and studied by ¹ H and ¹³C nmr spectroscopy and the crystal structure of 3,7-dimethyl-9-benzylamino-3,7-diazabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane-9-carboxamide dihydrochloride ( IVb· 2HCl) has been determined by X-ray diffraction. The compounds studied display in deuteriochloroform, dimethyl sulfoxide-d₆ and methanol-d₄ the same preferred flattened chair-chair conformation with the methyl groups in equatorial position. The carboxamido group lies in a plane nearly perpendicular to the bispidine skeleton. The conformation and protonation sites of IVb· 2HCl in the crystal state and in deuterium oxide solution are discussed.     

2,4,6,8-Tetraazabarbaralanes: Models for tetraazasemibullvalenes

3,7-Diethoxy-1,5-dimethyl-2,4,6,8-tetraaza-bicyclo[3.3.1]nona-2,6-diene (7), readily obtained from the corresponding urea derivative, can be oxidized to afford 3,7-diethoxy-1,5- dimethyl-2,4,6,8-tetraazabarbaralane (9) whose crystal structure corresponds to a localized molecule. On heating, 9 gives rise to 2-ethoxy-4,6-dimethyl-pyrimidine.
