Facile synthesis and herbicidal evaluation of 4H-3,1-benzoxazin-4-ones and 3H-quinazolin-4-ones with 2-phenoxymethyl substituents

Series of 4H-3,1-benzoxazin-4-ones and 3H-quinazolin-4-ones with phenoxy-methyl substituents were rationally designed and easily synthesized via one-pot N-acylation/ring closure reactions of anthranilic acids with 2-phenoxyacetyl chlorides to yield the 4H-3,1-benzoxazin-4-ones, and subsequently substituted with amino derivatives to obtain the 3H-quinazolin-4-ones. The herbicidal evaluation was performed on the model plants barnyard grass (a monocotyledon) and rape (a dicotyledon), and most of the title compounds displayed high levels of phytotoxicity. The active substructure and inhibitory phenotype analysis indicated that these compounds could be attributed to the class of plant hormone inhibitors. A docking study of several representative compounds with the hormone receptor TIR1 revealed an appreciable conformational match in the active site, implicating these compounds are potential lead hits targeting this receptor.     

A convenient synthesis of 1,3-oxazolidin-4-ones and 1,3-oxazin-4-ones

1,3-Oxazolidin-4-ones and 1,3-oxazin-4-ones were synthesized by formal cyclocondensation of imines with α- or β-hydroxy acids.     

Parallel synthesis of 3-amino-4H-quinolizin-4-ones, fused 3-amino-4H-pyrimidin-4-ones, and fused 3-amino-2H-pyran-2-ones

On the basis of the enaminone methodology, libraries of 3-amino-4H-quinolizin-4-ones, fused 3-amino-4H-pyrimidin-4-ones, and fused 3-amino-2H-pyran-2-ones were synthesized by the solid-phase and by the solution-phase parallel synthesis. The solution-phase approach turned out to be advantageous over the solid-phase approach. The solution-phase synthesis afforded, in most cases, analytically pure products in high yields, whereas the solid-phase approach gave products in poor yields and in low purity.     

1,2,3,5-Tetrahydro-4H-1,5-benzodiazepin-4-ones and 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-5H-1,4-benzodiazepin-5-ones from the reaction of hydrazoic acid on 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinolin-4-ones

Synthesis of 2-substituted-5-halo-2,3-dihydro-4(H)-pyrimidin-4-ones and their derivatization utilizing the Sonogashira coupling reaction in the enantioselective synthesis of alpha-substituted beta-amino acids

A convenient, one-pot procedure for the synthesis of 1-benzoyl-2(S)-substituted-5-iodo-2,3-dihydro-4(H)-pyrimidin-4-ones by tandem decarboxylation/beta-iodination of the corresponding 6-carboxy-perhydropyrimidin-4-ones was developed. In addition, several 1-benzoyl-2(S)-substituted-5-bromo-2,3-dihydro-4(H)-pyrimidin-4-ones were readily prepared by bromination of 1-benzoyl-2(S)-substituted-2,3-dihydro-4(H)-pyrimidin-4-ones. Subsequently, Sonogashira coupling of the halogenated heterocyclic enones with various terminal alkynes produced 1-benzoyl-2(S)-isopropyl-5-alkynyl-2,3-dihydro-4(H)-pyrimidin-4-ones in good yields. Hydrogenation of the unsaturated C-C moieties in the Sonogashira products followed by acid hydrolysis afforded highly enantioenriched alpha-substituted beta-amino acids.

We examined a method for the preparation of 4-hydroxypyran-2-ones in two steps from aryl ketones and ethyl malonyl chloride (or ethyl 2-methylmalonyl chloride). These 4-hydroxypyran-2-ones are useful precursors as they may be transformed in two steps to the 2-methoxypyran-4-ones, which is found in phenoxan—a naturally occurring compound discovered to have anti-HIV activity.
