Heterocyclic polyfluoro-Compounds. Part XXVII[1]. Nucleophilic substitution in perfluoro-(4-phenylpyrimidine)

Treatment of tetrafluoropyrimidine with pentafluoro-phenylmagnesium bromide provides perfluoro-(4-phenylpyrimidine) (1) and perfluoro- (4,6-diphenylpyrimidine) (2). Attack on the former product by appropriate nucleophiles yields compounds (3)–(5) and thence (6)–(10). ¹⁹F N.m.r. data for all these new pyrimidine derivatives are discussed.

     

Synthesis and antitumor activity of some nitrogen heterocycles bearing pyrimidine moiety

Synthesis of novel pyrimidine derivatives 4-16 was accomplished by heterocyclization of polarized system, for example, Chalcone. Claisen-Schmidt condensation of 2-acetyl naphthalene with 4-(N, N-dimethylaminobenzaldehyde) afforded chalcone 3 , which was utilized for synthesis various pyrimidine derivatives by treatment with urea, thiourea, and guandine hydrochloride in ethanolic sodium hydroxide solution. The reactivity of the synthesized pyrimidine derivatives towards different nucleophilic and electrophilic reagent were examined. The constructions of the newly synthesized pyrimidine derivatives were elucidated from their spectral and elemental analysis. All the synthesized compounds were tested in vitro for their anticancer activities against HePG-2 and MCF-7 cell lines. Some of them posses a wide range of pharmacological activity. Finally, a molecular docking study was conducted to reveal the probable interaction with the dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) active site.     

Microwave assisted solvent free amination of halo-(pyridine or pyrimidine) without transition metal catalyst

A solvent free direct amination of halo-(pyridine or pyrimidine) has been developed in good to high yields under computer-controlled microwave irradiation without transition metal catalyst. This reaction is a solvent and metal free, useful method for coupling of halo-(pyridine or pyrimidine) with pyrrolidine and piperidine derivatives by nucleophilic aromatic substitution (S_NAr).     

Aminolysis of methoxy groups in pyrimidine derivatives. Activation by 5‐nitroso

The nucleophilic substitution of 2‐mefhoxy groups in pyrimidine derivatives was strongly activated by introduction of a 5‐nitroso group on to the pyrimidine ring. The aminolysis of several 2‐methoxy‐5‐nitrosopyrimidine derivatives was performed at room temperature in hydroxylic as well as in non‐hydroxylic media with different primary amines in short time and good yields. The aminolysed substrates include 6‐[(per‐O‐acetyl)glycosyl]aminopyrimidines which afforded the corresponding 2‐aminopyrimidines without harming the acetyl protecting groups of the sugar moiety.     

Diarylthiopyrimidines and pyridines: Synthesis and biological activity

Prior work with diarylethers of pyrimidine, pyridine, and benzene showed encouraging antitumor results. As an extension of that work the synthesis of diarylthio derivatives of pyrimidine and pyridine has been accomplished. The synthetic scheme employed the nucleophilic displacement of chlorines from trichloropyrimidine, 1 , dichloropyrimidines 4 and 6 , and 2,6‐dichloropyridine 8 using the anion of thiophe‐nols 2 . Antitumor evaluation by the National Cancer Institute showed no useful activity.     

Study of the nucleophilic substitution reactions of 2,4,10-trichloropyrimido[5,4-b]quinoline

A number of pyrimido[5,4-b]quinoline derivatives were synthesized. It is shown that in the reaction of 2,4,10-trichloropyrimido[5,4-b]quinoline (II) with strong nucleophilic reagents (OCH₃ and SH) both of the halogens of the pyrimidine ring are replaced, while with amines substitution of the halogens of the pyrimidine ring proceeds successively; under more severe conditions, all three halogen atoms of II are replaced by amine residues.     

Synthesis and antiviral screening of 2-(propylthio)-7-substituted-thiazolo[5,4-d]pyrimidines as anti-bovine viral diarrhea virus agents

7-Chloro-2-(propylthio)thiazolo[5,4-d]pyrimidine 4 was prepared and used as a precursor for synthesizing new derivatives of thiazolo[5,4-d]pyrimidine through the nucleophilic displacement of the chlorine atom by different types of amino derivatives. Reaction of compound 4 with primary and secondary amines produced the corresponding substituted amino derivatives. Reaction of 4 with hydrazine hydrate then followed by condensation with aromatic aldehydes afforded hydrazone derivatives. Reaction of 4 with hydrazine hydrate then followed by reaction with isothiocyanates gave the disubstituted thiosemicarbazides. Finally, treatment of 4 with hydrazine derivatives afforded the novel disubstituted hydrazine derivatives. Preliminary antiviral screening on the bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) was carried out, which was classified as a member of the same family of Hepatitis C virus. The results indicated that some of the tested compounds exhibited anti-BVDV activity which may be suitable for a new lead molecule to design more potent anti-BVDV agents.     

Synthesis of Novel Substituted Tetrahydropyrimidine Derivatives and Evaluation of Their Pharmacological and Antimicrobial Activities

Tetrahydropyrimidine derivative 1 was employed as intermediate compound, which in turn was allowed to react with different electrophilic and nucleophilic reagents to synthesize new polyfunctionalized series of substituted pyrimidine‐2‐thione derivatives. Structures of the newly synthesized compounds have been elucidated by spectroscopic data and elemental analyses. The pharmacological and antimicrobial activities of synthesized products have been evaluated as drug candidates.     

An efficient synthesis of designed 4-thiazolidinone fused pyrimidine derivatives as potent antimicrobial agents

A novel series of hybrid 2-substituted ((pyrimidin-2-yl)hydrazinyl)thiazolidin-4-one derivatives were synthesized by means of aromatic nucleophilic displacement of chlorine atoms of 2,4,6-trichloro pyrimidine. Synthesis of some novel 2-(2-(6-morpholino-4-substituted(phenyl amino)pyrimidin-2-yl)hydrazinyl)thiazol-4(5H)-one derivatives have been carried out by the displacement of chlorine atoms on the basis of functionality concept on varying conditions. The synthesized hydrazinyl thiazolidin-4-one pyrimidine derivatives were evaluated for their expected antimicrobialactivity; where, the majority of these compounds showed potent antibacterial and antifungal activities against the tested strains of bacteria and fungi. Afforded title analogs were subsequently characterized by elemental analysis, IR, ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, Mass spectroscopy. SAR and HOMO-LUMO studies were also carried out for confirming the structure biological activity. Thus, these studies suggested that hydrazinyl pyrimidine derivatives bearing thiazolidinone moiety are interesting scaffolds for the development of novel antimicrobial agents.     

Synthesis and properties of some pyrimido[5,4-d]pyrimidine derivatives

A method for the preparation of 2,4,8-trioxo-6-methyl derivatives of pyrimido[5,4-d]pyrimidine with various alkyl residues in the 7 position is described. It is shown that the chlorine in the 4 position of the 2,4-dichloro derivative of pyrimido[5,4-d]pyrimidine is the most labile in nucleophilic substitution reactions.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 4, pp. 517–520, April, 1977.     

Reaction of thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidines with mercury salts

The reaction of mercury salts with thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidine derivatives was studied. It was shown that even in nucleophilic solvents the solvatomercuration of thienopyrimidines is accompanied by intramolecular ring closure involving the sulfur atom of the thioureide group.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 8, pp. 1141–1143, August, 1987.     

Novel route for the transformation of a pyrimidine ring using hydrazides

It has been shown from X-ray structural analytical data that the reaction of 2-ethoxycarbonylmethyl-1,4,6-trimethylpyrimidinium iodide with carboxylic acid hydrazides gives pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine derivatives and not the isomeric triazolo[4,3-a]pyridines previously reported. This novel and previously unreported rearrangement of 1,2-dialkylpyrimidinium salts occurs via recyclization of the pyrimidine ring with inclusion of a fragment of the nucleophilic reagent into the transformation product. __________ Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 2, pp. 262–275, February, 2006.     

The nucleophilic substitution of methylthio group on the 1,4-dihydro-2-methylthiopyrimidine rings

N-Substituted 2-alkylthio-1,4-dihydro-4,4,6-trimethylpyrimidines easily reacted with methanol to give corresponding 2-methoxy-1,4-dihydropyrimidines, while the other nucleophiles did not react on the C-2 carbon of the pyrimidine rings. However, the substitution of alkylthio group easily proceeded intramolecularly even with weak nucleophilic groups, e.g., phenolic oxygen, thiophenolic sulfur, and anilino nitrogen atom, to yield bi- or tricyclic pyrimidine derivatives.

Stereoselectivity and regioselectivity in nucleophilic ring opening in derivatives of 3-phenylisoxazolo[2,3-a]pyrimidine. Unpredicted dimerization and ring transformation. Syntheses of derivatives of pyrimidinylmethylamine, pyrimidinylmethylamino acid amides, and alpha-amino-2-pyrimidinylacetamides

The nucleophilic ring opening of the isoxazolone ring in 2-oxo-3-phenylisoxazolo[2,3-a]pyrimidine derivatives by optically active amino acid amides and ephedrine led to pyrimidinylmethylamino acid amides. Using amides of different L-amino acids and (-)-ephedrine resulted in different degrees of stereoselectivity. The degree of streoselectivity depended mostly on the nucleophile used. When applying hydroxy amines such as ephedrine, the attack via the secondary amino group was found as the favored regioselectivity. Upon replacement of the oxo group in position 2 in the phenylisoxazolo[2,3-a]pyrimidine system by an imino group, it was expected that the spontaneous decarboxylation that follows the ring opening would not take place, thus achieving amino acid amide derivatives of 2-pyrimidinylacetamide, which are closely related to pyrimidoblamic acid, an important constituent of Bleomycins, used in cancer therapy. However, by heating 5,7-dimethyl-2-imino-3-phenylisoxazolo[2,3-a]pyrimidine in solution, it underwent an unprecedented dimerization process that involved both the phenyl and the imino group. After protecting the imino group by acetylation, the ring opening by nucleophiles was possible, resulting in the formation of derivatives of 2-pyrimidinylacetamide. 2-Acetylimino-5,7-dimethyl-3-phenylisoxazolo[2,3-a]pyrimidine also underwent a ring transformation, yielding an interesting indolone derivative. Selectivity in ring opening and mechanisms of dimerization and ring transformation are discussed.     

A New and Facile Synthesis of Novel Pyrazolothienopyrimidines and Imidazopyrazolothienopyrimidines

4‐Amino‐3‐methyl‐1‐phenyl‐1H‐thieno[2,3‐c]pyrazole‐5‐carboxamide ( 5 ), which was synthesized by an innovative method, was used as a versatile precursor for synthesizing pyrazolothienopyrimidines and imidazopyrazolothienopyrimidines compounds. Reaction of amino thienopyrazole carboxamide 5 with triethyl orthoformate afforded thienopyrazolopyrimidine 6 . Chlorination of the latter compound, using phosphorus oxychloride afforded the chloro pyrazolothienopyrimidine 7 , which underwent nucleophilic substitution reactions with various primary and secondary amines to give the alkyl (aryl) amino pyrimidine compounds 8a–d . On the other hand, the reaction of chloropyrimidine 7 with thiourea afforded the pyrimidine thione compound 9 , which was alkylated with α‐halogentaed compounds to afford the S‐alkylated derivatives 10a–c . Also, chloroacetylation of the amino carboxamide 5 using chloroacetyl chloride yielded the chloromethyl pyrazolothienopyrimidine 12 , which underwent nucleophilic substitu‐ tion reactions with various primary and secondary amines to afford the alkyl (aryl) aminomethyl compounds 13a–f . The latter Compounds underwent Mannich reaction to give imidazopyrimidothieno‐ pyrazoles 14a–c . The newly synthesized compounds and their derivatives were fully characterized by elemental and spectral analysis.     

Transformations of 5-methyl-6-carbethoxy-3,4-dihydrothieno-[2,3-d]pyrimidine for synthesis of 4-methoxy-, 4-alkylamino-, and other derivatives of thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidine

4-Chloro derivatives of thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidine are formed by the action of phosphorus oxychloride on 5-methyl- and 5-methyl-6-carbethoxythieno[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4-ones. Action of nucleophilic reagents (methanol, sodium methylate, primary and secondary amines) on these chloro derivatives gave 4-methoxy-, 4-alkylamino-, and 4-dialkylamino substituted thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidines. It was found that 4-methoxy derivatives of thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidines undergo a thermal rearrangement into 3-methyl-substituted thieno[2,3-d]pyrimid-4-ones. In the bromination of 5-methyl-4-chloro- and 5-methyl-4-methoxy-substituted thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidines by N-bromosuccinimide, 5-bromomethyl derivatives of thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidine are formed, from which, by the action of primary and secondary amines, 5-aminomethyl-substituted thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidines were obtained. A synthesis of 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-1,3-diazepino[4a,10-d,e] thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidines was also carried out.Deceased.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsilicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 7, pp. 925–928, July, 1985.     

Conversions of methyl esters of (6-methyl-2-methylthio-4-pyrimidinyloxy)- and (3,4-dihydro-6-methyl-2-methylthio-4-oxo-3-pyrimidinyl)acetic acids

A study has been made of nucleophilic reactions (hydrolysis, hydrazinolysis, ammonolysis, reduction) and electrophilic reactions (bromination, nitration) of isomeric methyl esters of (6-methyl-2-methylthio-4-pyrimidinyloxy) acetic acid and (3,4-dihydro-6-methyl-2-methylthio-4-oxo-3-pyrimidinyl)acetic acid. Carboxyl-group derivatives and also derivatives with substituents in position 5 of the pyrimidine ring have been synthesized.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 12, pp. 1655–1659, December 1992.     

Synthesis of Pyrimidine Conjugates with 4-(6-Amino-hexanoyl)-7,8-difluoro-3,4-dihydro-3-methyl-2H-[1,4]benzoxazine and Evaluation of Their Antiviral Activity

A series of pyrimidine conjugates containing a fragment of racemic 7,8-difluoro-3,4-dihydro-3-methyl-2H-[1,4]benzoxazine and its (S)-enantiomer attached via a 6-aminohexanoyl fragment were synthesized by the reaction of nucleophilic substitution of chlorine in various chloropyrimidines. The structures of the synthesized compounds were confirmed by ¹H, ¹⁹F, and ¹³C NMR spectral data. Enantiomeric purity of optically active derivatives was confirmed by chiral HPLC. Antiviral evaluation of the synthesized compounds has shown that the replacement of purine with a pyrimidine fragment leads to a decrease in the anti-herpesvirus activity compared to the lead compound, purine conjugate. The studied compounds did not exhibit significant activity against influenza A (H1N1) virus.
