Acetylenic chemistry: Part 15 [1]. Reactions of 1,2,3,4-Tetrahydro-2,4-dioxopyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidine with 3-bromoprop-1-yne

Reaction of 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-2,4-dioxopyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidine with 3-bromoprop-1-yne gave 1-prop-2′-ynylpyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidine-2,4-dione ( 4a ), 3-prop-2′-ynylpyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidine-2,4-dione ( 4b ), and 1,3-diprop-2′-ynylpyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidine-2,4-dione ( 4c ). Subsequent boiling of 1,3-diprop-2′-ynylpyrido-[2,3-d]pyrimidine-2,4-dione ( 4c ) in formic acid afforded 1-methylimidazo[1,2-a]pyridyl-N-prop-2′-ynylamide ( 5 ) and 1-acetonyl-3-prop-2′-ynylpyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidine-2,4-dione ( 6 ).     

Synthese von 2,4-Diamino-thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidin-Derivaten

Synthesis of 2,4-Diamino-thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidines Condensation of 2-aminothiophene-3-carbonitrile ( 4 ) with guanidine or sequential addition of CS₂ and NH₃ to 4 provides 2,4-diaminothieno[2,3-d]pyrimidine ( 7 ). This compound yields, after sequential addition of sec-BuLi and either [3-(trifluoromethyl)benzene]sulfenyl chloride ( 8 ) or the corresponding disulfide 9 , followed by acidic work up, 2,4-diamino-6-{[3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]thio}thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidine ( 10 ). In another approach, 2-amino-5-{[3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]thio}thiophene-3-carbonitrile ( 11 ) obtained from 4 and 8 is transformed to 10 by condensation with guanidine. Corresponding to the second route, 2,4-diamino-6-[(naphth-2-yl)thio]thieno-[2,3-d]pyrimidine ( 16 ) is synthesized. Oxidation of 10 with m-chloroperbenzoic acid gives 2,4-diamino-6-{[3-(tri-fluoromethyl)phenyl]sulfinyl}thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidine ( 13 ).     

Convenient synthesis and anticancer evaluation of novel pyrazolyl-thiophene,thieno[3,2-b]pyridine,pyrazolo[3,4-d]thieno[3,2-b]pyridine and pyrano[2,3-d]thieno[3,2-b]pyridine derivatives

The newly synthesized 3-(3-amino-5-(phenylamino)-4-(phenylcarbamoyl)thiophen-2-yl)-3-oxopropanoate was utilized as a precursor for the synthesis of pyrazolyl-thiophene derivative, which undergoes cyclization upon treatment with benzaldehyde derivatives to provide pyrazolo[3,4-d]thieno[3,2-b]pyridines. Basic treatment of pyrazolyl-thiophene derivative with phenyl isothiocyanate followed by subsequent addition of chloroacetone and/or ethyl bromoacetate yielded the thiazolylidene-pyrazolyl thiophenes. In addition, the building block 3-(3-amino-5-(phenylamino)-4-(phenylcarbamoyl)thiophen-2-yl)-3-oxopropanoate was converted into the corresponding thieno[3,2-b]pyridine compounds through its reactions with (DMF-DMA) and/or heating in sodium ethoxide. Moreover, the reaction of 7-hydroxy-5-oxo-N-phenyl-2-(phenylamino)-4,5-dihydrothieno[3,2-b]pyridine-3-carboxamide with 2-arylidenemalononitrile produced the new annulated pyrano[2,3-d]thieno[3,2-b]pyridines. The prepared thiophene-based compounds were evaluated against HepG2, PC3, and MCF-7 cancer cells, and normal fibroblast cell (WI38). The pyrazolo[3,4-d]thieno[3,2-b]pyridine and pyrano[2,3-d]thieno[3,2-b]pyridine compounds substituted with chlorophenyl group presented promising cytotoxic activities against HepG2 cancer cell line without any human toxicity.

3-Ethoxycarbonyl-2-(N-R-thioureido)-4,5,6,7-tetrahydrobenzo[b]thiophenes were obtained by the reaction of 2-amino-3-ethoxycarbonyl-4,5,6,7-tetrahydrobenzo[b]thiophene with isothiocyanates and of 3-ethoxycarbonyl-2-isothiocyanato-4,5,6,7-tetrahydrobenzo[b]thiophene with primary and secondary amines. The cyclization paths of the products leading to derivatives of thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidine and thieno[2,3-d]-1,3-thiazine were studied. The corresponding S-substituted derivatives were obtained by the alkylation of 3-R-2-thioxo-3,4,5,6,7,8-hexahydrobenzo[b]thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4-ones.

Their antitumor activities against human breast carcinoma cells (MCF-7) and human colon cancer cells (HCT-116) in vitro were evaluated, using sorafenib as a positive control drug. Anticancer bioassays indicated that several compounds exhibited appreciable anticancer activity against MCF-7 and HCT-116 cells. Particularly, compounds 9g and 8b demonstrated the most significant inhibitory effect against HCT-116 and MCF-7 cells, with inhibition ratios of 25.56% and 26.46%, respectively. Additionally, the synthesized pyridine[2,3-d]pyrimidine derivatives containing a urea group moieties exhibited antitumor activities against MCF-7 and HCT-116 cells in vitro.

Some novel pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridine 7 , pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidines 8 and 9 were synthesized from the ring opening ring closure reactions of carboxaldehyde 1 with certain heterocyclic enamines. In addition, reaction of carboxaldehyde 1 with certain cyclic enols produced a variety of products. Treatment of carboxaldehyde 1 with 1,3-cyclohexanediones gave xanthene-1,8-diones 19 and 20 . Reaction of carboxaldehyde 1 with 5-methyl-2,4-dihydro-3H-pyrazol-3-one proceeds in 1:2 M ratio producing pyrazolo [4′,3′:5,6]pyrano[2,3-c]pyrazole derivative 22 .

A series of novel 5,6-dimethylpyrrolo[2,3-d]-1,3-oxazin-4-ones were synthesized from 2-amino-3-tert-butoxy-carbonyl-4,5-dimethylpyrroles. Two methods were used, cyclodehydration of 2-acylamino-3-carboxypyrroles with acetic anhydride and direct conversion of the 5,6-dimethylpyrrolo[2,3-d]-1,3-oxazin-2,4-diones to the title compounds with an anhydride directly providing the 2 substituent. Molecular modeling techniques revealed that these pyrrolo[2,3-d]oxazinones were rigid analogues of the allylamine antifungals. The compounds were tested for in vitro activity against Tricophyton and Scopulariopsis sp.

7-Deazapurines II. Syntheses and reactions of 5-aminopyrrolo[2,3-d] pyrimidine-6-carbonitrile and related compounds

The reaction of 4-chloro-2-phenyl-5-pyrimidinecarbonitrile (III) with N-methylglycinonitrile gave 4-[(eyanomethyl)methylamino]-2-phenyl-5-pyrimidinecarbonitrile (VIa), which upon cycli-zation under Dieckmann conditions afforded 5-amino-7-methyl-2-phenyl-7H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]-pyrimidine-6-carbonitrile (VIIa). Other examples (VIIb and VIIc) were prepared similarly from the reactions of III with glycinamide and ethyl glycinate, respectively. The preparation of simple 5-amino derivatives of the pyrrolo[2,3-d] pyrimidines thus synthesized is described. The alkyla-tion of VIIc with N-cyeloheptylchloroacetamide took place at the ring nitrogen, giving XII. The reaction of VIIa with formamide gave 4-amino-5-methyl-7-phenyl-5H-pyrrolo[2,3-d:4,5-d′ ]-dipyrimidine (XIII), the first member of a new ring system. Treatment of VIIa with carbon disulfide and pyridine afforded another example of this new ring system, 1,5-dihydro-5-methyl-7-phenyl-2H-pyrrolo[2,3-d:4,5-d′] dipyrimidine-2,4-(3H)dithione (XIV).
