Synthesis and lactim-lactam tautomerism of 1,2-dihydrofuro[2,3-b]quinol-4-one derivatives

The reaction of O-ethylbutyrolactonium tetrafluoroborate with derivatives of ethyl anthranilate was used to synthesize tetrafluoroborates of cyclic imido esters, which were cyclized to furo[2,3-b]quinol-4-one derivatives by heating in a solution of sodium ethoxide. A number of N- and O-alkyl derivatives were obtained by alkylation of these compounds. The tautomerism of 6-chloro- and 7-chloro-2,3-dihydrofuro [2,3-b]quinol-4-ones that are unsubstituted in the benzene ring was studied, and a dependence of the position of the tautomeric equilibrium on the solvent and the substituent in the benzene ring was established.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 3, pp. 376–381, March, 1984.     

Synthesis of diversely functionalized hexahydropyrrolo[2,3-b]indoles using domino reactions, olefination, isomerization and Claisen rearrangement followed by reductive cyclization

Hexahydropyrrolo[2,3-b]indoles 6 were synthesized in five steps from indolin-3-one 8 by a general and efficient method, in which elements of molecular diversity were readily added onto the 3a-position of the pyrrolo[2,3-b]indole ring system. Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons reaction of 2-allyloxyindolin-3-ones 7, derived from indolin-3-one 8 and a variety of allylic alcohols, smoothly proceeded with successive Claisen rearrangement to give the corresponding 3-allyl-3-cyanomethylindolin-2-ones 15. Indolin-2-ones 15 were converted into pyrrolo[2,3-b]indoles 6 using partial hydrolysis followed by reductive cyclization with LiAlH(4). Synthesis of N-methylated pyrrolo[2,3-b]indole derivatives 23 and 26 is also described.     

Investigation of nitrogen- and sulfur-containing heterocyclic compounds

The halogenation of 2,3-dimethylpyrazino[2,3-b][1,4]thiazin-6-one with bromine or 1 mole of sulfuryl chloride gives 7-bromo-and 7-chloropyrazino[2,3-b][1,4]thiazin-6-ones, while 2 moles of sulfuryl chloride give 7,7-dichloropyrazino[2,3-b][1,4]thiazin-6-one. A number of 7-amino-and 7,7-diaminopyrazino[2,3-b][1,4]thiazin-6-ones were obtained by the reaction of the appropriate halo derivatives with amines. Some of the pyrazino[2,3-b][1,4]thiazin-6-one derivatives inhibit the growth of interweavable tumors in animals.See [3] for communication XX.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 11, pp. 1498–1501, November, 1971.     

Condensed isoquinolines 30. Acylation and alkylation of 5,13-dihydro-11H-isoquino-[3,2-<Emphasis Type="Italic">b</Emphasis>]quinazolin-11-one

It was shown that 6-acyl-5,13-dihydro-11H-isoquino[3,2-b]quinazolin-11-ones are formed when 5,13-dihydro-11H-isoquino[3,2-b]quinazolin-11-one is heated with the chlorides and anhydrides of carboxylic acids in the presence of bases (pyridine, NaOAc) while 5-acyl-5,13-dihydro-11H-isoquino[3,2-b]quinazolin-11-ones are formed in the presence of NaH. In the presence of NaH 6-acyl-5,13-dihydro-11H-isoquino[3,2-b]quinazolin-11-ones form the products from acylation and alkylation at position 5. The action of heat on 5,13-dihydro-11H-isoquino[3,2-b]quinazolin-11-one in oxalyl chloride leads to 7H,8H-2a,7a-diazacyclopenta[fg]naphthacene-1,2,8-trione. __________ Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 5, pp. 741–750, May, 2008.

Abstract

8-Methoxy-4-phenyl-3,4,5,6-tetrahydrobenzo[h]quinazoline-2(1H)-thione, obtained by the condensation of 2-benzylidene-6-methoxy-3,4-dihydronapthalene-1(2H)-one with thiourea, on reaction with chloroacetic acid and 3-chloropropanoic acid in the presence of the ionic liquid N-methylpyridinium tosylate furnishes 3-methoxy-7-phenyl-7,10-dihydro-5H- benzo[h]thiazolo[2,3-b]quinazoline-9(6H)-one and 3-methoxy-7-phenyl-5,6,10,11-tetrahydro- benzo[h][1,3]thiazino[2,3-b]quinazoline-9(7H)-one. Further, condensation of the thione with 1,2-dibromoethane and 1,3-dibromopropane yields 3-methoxy-7-phenyl-6,7,9,10-tetrahydro-5 H-benzo[h]thiazolo[2,3-b]quinazoline and 3-methoxy-7-phenyl-5,6,7,9,10,11-hexahydrobenzo [h][1,3]thiazino[2,3-b]quinazoline respectively. Arylidene derivatives have been obtained by two routes. The structures of the cyclized compounds have been established on the basis of elemental analysis and spectroscopic data. The synthesized compounds were screened for antimicrobial activity. Some of the compounds showed promising antimicrobial activities.

It has been established that the interaction of N¹-(2-hydroxyphenylmethylthieno[2,3-b]pyrid-3-yl)arylamides with hydrazine hydrate leads to thieno[2,3-b]pyridine-2,3-diamines. It was shown that the reaction of the latter with acetylacetone and acetoacetic ester occurs regioselectively at the amino group in position 3 of the thiophene ring. __________ Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 9, pp. 1400–1408, September, 2007.     

Co2(CO)8-catalyzed intramolecular hetero-Pauson-Khand reaction of alkynecarbodiimide: synthesis of (+/-)-physostigmine

[reaction: see text] Herein we describe a novel Co(2)(CO)(8)-catalyzed intramolecular aza-Pauson-Khand-type reaction of alkynecarbodiimide derivatives affords pyrrolo[2,3-b]indol-2-one ring systems in reasonable yields. This is the first reported Co(2)(CO)(8) successfully applied in the hetero-Pauson-Khand reaction. Significantly, the transformation of one of our pyrrolo[2,3-b]indol-2-one derivatives into the indole alkaloid, (+/-)-physostigmine, was completed in a highly stereoselective manner.

Condensed isoquinolines 24. Reaction of 6,11-dihydro-13H-isoquino[3,2-<Emphasis Type="Italic">b</Emphasis>]quinazolin-13-one with carbonyl compounds

The reaction of 6,11-dihydro-13H-isoquino[3,2-b]quinazolin-13-one with carbonyl compounds occurs at the C₍₆₎ and/or N₍₅₎ atoms depending on the nature of the reagent and the conditions. Condensation with aldehydes gives 6-arylidene-6,11-dihydro-13H-isoquino[3,2-b]quinazolin-13-ones. Acylation using acid anhydrides or acid chlorides gave 5-acyl-, 6-acyl-, and 5,6-diacyl-5,11-dihydro-13H-isoquino[3,2-b]quinazolin-13-ones depending again on the reaction conditions. Acylation using chloroacetyl chloride is accompanied by an intramolecular alkylation to give 7H,8H-2a, 7a-diaza-cyclopenta[f,g]naphthacene-1,7(2H)-dione. Phenyl isocyanate gave the derivative containing a CONHPh group at position 6. __________ Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 10, pp. 1509–1520, October, 2007.     

A Novel,Degraded Polyketidic Lactone,Leptosphaerolide, and Its Likely Diketone Precursor,Leptosphaerodione. Isolation from Cultures of the Marine Ascomycete Leptosphaeria oraemaris (LINDER)

Acetone extraction of cultures of the marine ascomycete Leptosphaeria oraemaris (LINDER) on cornmeal disk gave the novel polyketide derivative leptosphaerolide ( = (+)-7-[(1E)-l,3-dimethylpent-1-enyl]-10-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzo[1,2-b:5,4-c′]dipyran-2(9H)-one; (4+)-8) besides the o-dihydroquinone 3-[(1E)-1,3-dimethylpent-1-euyl]-8,10-dihydroxy-7-methoxy-8-(2-oxopropyl)-1H-naphtho[2,3-c]pyran-9(8H)-one ( 1 ) as a 10:9 mixture of epimers. retro-Aldol reaction of 1 gave leptosphaerodione ( = (?)-3-[(1E)-1,3-dimethylpent-1-enyl]-10-hydroxy-7-methoxy-1H-naphtho[2,3-c]pyran-8,9(8H)-dione; (?)-6) which was also present in small amounts in the extracts and which gave 1 on reaction with acetone. It is thus likely that 1 is an artefact of the extraction by acetone. Biogenetically (+)-8 might derive from (?)-6 via an unusual oxidation with loss of CO₂.     

Polymethine dyes — 4-methylbenzofuro- and 4-methylbenzoselenopheno[2,3-b]pyridine derivatives

Polymethine dyes of various types were obtained from quaternary salts of 4-methylbenzofuro- and 4-methylbenzoselenopheno[2,3-b]pyridines. It is shown that replacement of the vinylene group in the benzene ring of the benzo[h]-4-quinoline residue by an oxygen or selenium atom gives rise to a larger hypsochromic shift of the absorption maxima of the corresponding cyanine dyes than replacement by a sulfur atom. Dyes with benzofuro[2,3-b]-4-pyridine residues absorb in the shorter-wave region of the spectrum than benzothieno- and benzoselenopheno[2,3-b]pyridine derivatives.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 10, pp. 1357–1360, October, 1976.     

Research of naphthyridines

It is shown by means of the UV spectra that a singly charged ion due to protonation at the N₍₄₎ atom develops when benzo[b]-1,8-naphthyrid-10-ones are dissolved in dilute mineral acids. The oxygen of the carbonyl group is also protonated in 96% sulfuric acid. Salts of the phenoxide type are formed in the reaction of these compounds with aqueous sodium hydroxide solutions. The pK_a values of benzo[b]-1,8-naphthyrid-10-ones determined spectrophotometrically in a sulfuric acid-water system range from –4.69 to –5.69, depending on the substituent in the 8 position, and correlate with the Hammett _p constants.See [1] for communication VIII.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No, 9, pp. 1241–1244, September, 1977.     

Synthesis and cytotoxic activity of benzo[a]pyrano[3,2-h] and [2,3-i]xanthone analogues of psorospermine, acronycine, and benzo[a]acronycine

Condensation of 2-hydroxy-1-naphthalenecarboxylic acid with phloroglucinol afforded 9,11-dihydroxy-12H-benzo[a]xanthen-12-one (6). Construction of an additional dimethylpyran ring onto this skeleton, by alkylation with 3-chloro-3-methyl-1-butyne followed by Claisen rearrangement, gave access to 6-hydroxy-3,3-dimethyl-3H,7H-benzo[a]pyrano[3,2-h]xanthen-7-one (12) and 5-hydroxy-2,2-dimethyl-2H,6H-benzo[a]pyrano[2,3-i]xanthen-6-one (13), which were methylated into 6-methoxy-3,3-dimethyl-3H,7H-benzo[a]pyrano[3,2-h]xanthen-7-one (14) and 5-methoxy-2,2-dimethyl-2H,6H-benzo[a]pyrano[2,3-i]xanthen-6-one (15), respectively. Osmium tetroxide oxidation of 14 and 15 gave the corresponding (+/-)-cis-diols 16 and 17, which afforded the corresponding esters 18-21 upon acylation. Similarly, condensation of 2-hydroxy-1-naphthalenecarboxylic acid with 3,5-dimethoxyaniline gave 11-amino-9-methoxy-12H-benzo[a]xanthen-12-one (23) which was converted into 11-amino-9-hydroxy-12H-benzo[a]xanthen-12-one (24) upon treatment with hydrogen bromide in acetic acid. Alkylation with 3-chloro-3-methyl-1-butyne followed by Claisen rearrangement afforded 6-amino-3,3-dimethyl-3H,7H-benzo[a]pyrano[3,2-h]xanthen-7-one (25) and 5-amino-2,2-dimethyl-2H,6H-benzo[a]pyrano[2,3-i]xanthen-6-one (26). The new benzopyranoxanthone derivatives only displayed marginal antiproliferative activity when tested against L1210 and KB-3-1 cell lines. The only compounds found significantly active against L1210 cell line, 16 and 20, belong to the benzo[a]pyrano[3,2-h]xanthen-7-one series, which possess a pyran ring fused angularly onto the xanthone basic core.

A synthesis of novel derivatives of 6-methyluracil, 6-methyl-2-thioxo-, and 2-imino-6-methyl-2,3-dihydro-1H-pyrimidin-4-one containing a 2-(phenoxy)ethyl substituent at position 5 of the pyrimidine ring has been carried out. It was found that 5-[2-(phenoxy)ethyl] derivatives of 6-methyl-2-thioxo- and 2-imino-6-methyl-2,3-dihydro-1H-pyrimidin-4-one are obtained by the condensation of the corresponding ethyl 3-oxo-2-(2-phenoxyethyl)butanoates with thiourea or guanidine. 6-Methyl-5-[2-(phenoxy)ethyl]uracils can be prepared by treating 6-methyl-5-[2-(phenoxy)ethyl]-2-thioxo-2,3-dihydro-1H-pyrimidin-4-ones with an excess of aqueous monochloroacetic acid solution. __________ Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 8, pp. 1213–1217, August, 2005.

Mannich bases containing the dialkylaminomethyl group in the 6- and 8-positions of 2,3-di-hydrocyclopenta[c]chromen-4-ones were prepared by condensation of 7- and 9-hydroxy-2,3-dihydrocyclopenta[c]chromen-4-ones with substituted 1,1-diaminomethanes. The effects of 8-chloro-7-hydroxy-6-(1-pyrrolidinylmethyl)-2,3-dihydrocyclopenta[c]chromen-4-one and 8-chloro-7-hydroxy-6-(morpholinomethyl)-2,3-dihydrocyclopenta[c]chromen-4-one on the central and peripheral nervous systemwere defined and enable the presence of tranquilizing and neuroleptic properties to be predicted.     

Synthesis and cytotoxic activity of acronycine analogues in the benzo[c]pyrano[3,2-h]acridin-7-one and naphtho[1,2-b][1,7] and [1,10]-phenanthrolin-7(14H)-one series

Condensation of 1-bromo-2-naphthalenecarboxylic acid (9) with 7-methoxy-2,2-dimethyl-2H-1-benzopyran-5-ylamine (13) followed by acid-mediated cyclization afforded 6-methoxy-3,3-dimethyl-3,14-dihydro-7H-benzo[c]pyrano[3,2-h]acridin-7-one (15), which was further methylated into 6-methoxy-3,3,14-trimethyl-3,14-dihydro-7H-benzo[c]pyrano[3,2-h]acridin-7-one (benzo[c]acronycine) (3) and 6,7-dimethoxy-3,3-dimethyl-3H-benzo[c]pyrano[3,2-h]acridine (4). Osmium tetroxide oxidation of 15 gave the (+/-)-cis-diol 16, which afforded the benzopyranoacridine and benzopyranoacridone esters 17-22 upon acylation. Condensation of 9 with suitable aminoquinolines 23-25 afforded the carboxylic naphthylquinolylamines 26-28. Cyclization gave the corresponding naphtho[1,2-b][1,10]-phenanthrolin-7(14H)-ones 29 and 30, and naphtho[1,2-b][1,7]-phenanthrolin-7(14H)-one 31, which were subsequently N-methylated to the desired 14-methylnaphtho[1,2-b][1,10] and [1,7]-phenanthrolinones 6, 7, and 8. Benzo[c]pyrano[3,2-h]acridin-7-one derivatives 3, 16, and 22 displayed cytotoxic activities within the same range of magnitude as acronycine itself, whereas 7-alkoxybenzo[c]pyrano[3,2-h]acridine and 7-acyloxybenzo[c]pyrano[3,2-h]acridine derivatives 4 and 17-21 were less active when tested against L1210 murine leukemia cells in vitro. Naphthophenanthrolinones 6-8 were devoid of significant antiproliferative activity, but compounds 29-31 bearing no substituent on the nitrogen atom at position 14 were more potent.     

A spirocyclic oxindole analogue:Synthesis and antitumor activities

A new synthesis of spirocyclic oxindole analogue spiro[piperidine-4,3’-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridin]-2’（1’H）-one 1 is described.The key steps involve dialkylation of arylacetonitrile and cyclization of the azaoxindole ring by an intramolecular Buchwald-Hartwig amidation of carboxylic ami Je and aryl chloride.A small library was obtained by reductive amination of 1 with various aldehydes and was screened against human lung cancer cell A549,human liver cancer cell BEL7402,and human colon cancer cell HCT-8.The results show that most of the 1（?）rary compounds 2 have some inhibitory activities.2-（Trifluoromethoxy） benzylic substituted spirocyclic azaoxindole 2e was identified as a nanomolar inhibitor against human lung cancer cell A-549(IC₅₀=50 nmol/L).     

Polymethine dyes derived from heterocyclic bases containing condensed thiophene rings

The color of the dyes obtained is discussed. It has been shown that the replacement of vinylene groups by sulfur atoms in one of the two benzene rings of the hetero residue in 2-substituted 5,6-benzoquinolines in cyanine dyes leads to a bathochromic shift of the absorption maxima.For part VI, see [8].
