Uncatalyzed four-component synthesis of pyrazolopyranopyrimidine derivatives and their antituberculosis activities

Fused pyrazolopyranopyrimidines containing both biologically active pyranopyrazole and pyranopyrimidine compounds were synthesized using a one-pot, four-component reaction of ethyl aceto acetate, hydrazine hydrate, benzaldehydes, and thiobarbituric acid without catalyst in ethanol. All target compounds obtained in very good to excellent yields over short reaction times by adapting a simple workup procedure. All the synthesized compounds exhibited good to excellent antituberculosis activities. The results shown that 4-(1H-imidazol-2-yl)-3-methyl-7-thioxo-4,6,7,8-tetrahydropyrazolo[4’,3′:5,6]pyrano[2,3-d] pyrimidin-5(1H)-one (5a) is a good antitubercular agent, as good as the standard streptomycin drug, based on minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC).

Noncyclic isomers of dihetarylethenes show fluorescence with quantum yields up to 0.13.     

Synthesis of some new pyrimidine selanyl derivatives

The targeted synthesis of 2-(methylsulfanyl)-6-(furan-2-yl)-4(3H)-selenoxo -pyrimidine-5-carbonitrile failed due to the formation 1-methyl-2-methylsulfanyl-6-oxo -4-(furan-2-yl)-1,6-dihydropyrimidine-5-carbonitrile. A new series of 5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-1-benzo thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidine-4-yl substituted selanyl derivatives were prepared by the reaction of sodium diselenide with 4-chloro-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-1-benzothieno[2,3-d]pyrimidine followed by the reaction with chloroacetic acid derivatives such as ethyl chloroacetate, chloroacetamide or chloroacetonitrile. Hydrazinolysis of ethyl (5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-1-benzothieno[2,3-d]pyrimidine- 4-ylselanyl)acetate with hydrazine hydrate gave the corresponding hydrazino derivative. The latter reacted with ethyl acetoacetate, acetylacetone, diethyl malonate, ethoxymethylenemalononitrile or ethyl 2-cyano-3-ethoxyacetate to afford 5-methyl-2-[2-(5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-1-benzothieno [2,3-d]pyrimidine-4-ylselanyl)acetyl]-2,4-dihydropyrazol-3-one, 1-(3,5-dimethylpyrazol-1-yl)-2- (5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-1-benzothieno[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4-ylselanyl)ethanone, 1-[2-(5,6,7,8-tetrahydro -1-benzothieno[2,3-d]pyrimidine-4-ylselanyl)acetyl]-2,4-dihydropyrazolidine-3,5-dione and 5-Amino-1-[2-(5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-1-benzothieno[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4-ylselanyl)acetyl]-1H-pyrazol -4-yl substituted carbonitrile or ethyl carboxylate, respectively. The structure of the novel compounds was confirmed by spectroscopic tools (IR, ¹H NMR ¹³C NMR and mass spectra) and elemental analysis.     

Stereoselective pyrroline-ring formation through the cyclization of conjugated azomethine ylides at the periphery of pyrido[1,2-a]pyrimidine system

The thermal reaction of N-benzyl-N-[3-(N-substituted imino)methyl-4-oxo-4H-pyrido[1,2-a]pyrimidin-2-yl]amino acid esters, generated from aldehyde esters and primary amines, provides 2,3-dihydropyrido[1,2-a]pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4(1H)-one derivatives effectively and stereoselectively. Therein, the stereoselective generation of conjugated azomethine ylides from the imine esters and their cyclization is essential for the pyrroline-ring formation.     

Molecular rearrangement of 1-substituted 9b-hydroxy-3,3a,5,9b-tetrahydro-1H-imidazo[4,5-c]quinoline-2,4-diones—an unexpected pathway to new indole and imidazolinone derivatives

By the action of hydrochloric acid, the first of them rearrange to give 4-(2-aminophenyl)-1,3-dihydroimidazol-2-ones. The structure of 1,3-bis[2-(2-oxo-2,3-dihydro-1H-imidazol-4-yl)-phenyl]-ureas was confirmed by their synthesis. All compounds were characteried by their ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, IR spectra, atmospheric pressure chemical ioniation mass spectra, and some of them also by ¹⁵N NMR spectroscopic data.

Synthesis and tuberculocidic activity of some 4-arylaminomethylene-3-methyl-1-(pyrimidin-2-yl)pyrazol-5(4H)-ones

4-Arylaminomethylene-3-methyl-1-(6-methyl-4-oxo-1,4-dihydropyrimidin-2-yl)pyrazol-5(4H)-ones were synthesized by a three-component reaction between the 6-methyl-2-(3-methyl-5-oxo-2,5-dihydropyrazol-1-yl)pyrimidin-4(1H)-one, triethoxymethane, and an aromatic amine. These compounds were found to exist as aminomethyleneketones regardless of the electronic effects of substituents in the aromatic fragments. The resulting compounds showed pronounced tuberculocidic activity.     

New convenient synthesis of 2,3-diaminothieno[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4(3H)-one derivates from substituted alkyl 2-(1H-tetrazol-1-yl)thiophene-3-carboxylates

4,5-Disubstituted and 4-substituted alkyl 2-amino-thiophene-3-carboxylates react with triethyl orthoformate and sodium azide in acetic acid to yield new 2-(1H-tetrazol-1-yl)-4-R¹-5-R²-thiophene derivates. It was established that the reaction of these tetrazoles with hydrazine generates the insufficiently studied 2,3-diaminothieno[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4(3H)-one system. It is significant that the reaction mentioned above is the unique tetrazole ring cleavage under the action of hydrazine.     

Synthesis of 3-pyrrol-3′-yloxindoles with a carbamate function

By the reaction of methyl {4(3)-[2-(2-oxo-1,2-dihydro-3H-indol-3-ylidene)acetyl]phenyl} carbamates with ethyl 3-aminocrotonate at boiling in the mixture toluene-anhydrous ethanol, 2: 1, ethyl 5-{3(4)-[(methoxycarbonyl)amino]phenyl}-2-methyl-4-(2-oxo-2,3-dihydro-1H-indol-3-yl)-1H-pyrrole-3-carboxylates were obtained. The condensation of methyl {3(4)-[2-(2-oxo-1,2-dihydro-3H-indol-3-ylidene)acetyl] phenyl}carbamates with ethyl acetoacetate in the presence of ammonium acetate and 20 mol% of 1-methyl-3-butylimidazolium chloride or 1-methyl-3-octylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate at boiling in anhydrous ethanol led to the formation of the corresponding 3-pyrrol-3′-yloxindoles with a carbamate function.     

Coordination chemistry of oxovanadium(V) complexes with active Schiff bases: synthetic,spectral, and antimicrobial approach

The Schiff bases, 3-(indolin-2-one)hydrazinecarbothioamide (L¹H), 3-(indolin-2-one)hydrazinecarboxamide (L²H), 5,6-dimethyl-3-(indolin-2-one)hydrazinecarbothioamide (L³H), and 5,6-dimethyl-3-(indolin-2-one)hydrazinecarboxamide (L⁴H), have been synthesized by the condensation of ¹ H-indol-2,3-dione and 5,6-dimethyl-1H-indol-2,3-dione with the corresponding hydrazinecarbothioamide and hydrazinecarboxamide, respectively. The complexes of oxovanadium and ligands have been characterized by elemental analyses, melting points, conductance measurements, molecular weight determinations, and IR, ¹H NMR and UV spectral studies. These studies showed that the ligands coordinated to the oxovanadium in a monobasic bidentate fashion through oxygen or sulfur and the nitrogen donor system. Thus, penta-and hexacoordinated environment around the vanadium atom has been proposed. All the complexes and their parent organic moieties have been screened for their biological activity on several pathogenic fungi and bacteria and were found to possess appreciable fungicidal and bactericidal properties. The article was submitted by the authors in English.     

Novel asymmetric dihetarylethenes derived from N-isopropylindole and thiophene: synthesis and photochromic properties

Novel asymmetric dihetarylethenes, viz., 3-(1-isopropyl-5-methoxy-2-methyl-1H-indol-3-yl)-4-(3-thienyl)furan-2,5-dione and 1-alkyl/aryl-3-(1-isopropyl-5-methoxy-2-methyl-1H-indol-3-yl)-4-(3-thienyl)-1H-pyrrole-2,5-diones, were obtained. These dihetarylethenes exhibit photochromism in solutions. Replacement of the N-methyl group in the indole fragment by the N-isopropyl group imparts photochromic properties to the resulting furan-2,5-dione derivative. The open forms of (N-isopropylindol-3-yl)pyrrole-2,5-diones are characterized by lower quantum yields of fluorescence, and their cyclic forms are thermally more stable.

Nucleophilic trifluoromethylation of RF-containing 4-quinolones, 8-aza- and 1-thiochromones with (trifluoromethyl)trimethylsilane

Reactions of N-substituted 2-polyfluoroalkyl-4-quinolones and 8-aza-5,7-dimethyl-2-polyfluoroalkylchromones with (trifluoromethyl)trimethylsilane proceed mainly as a 1,4-nucleophilic trifluoromethylation to give N-substituted 2,2-bis(polyfluoroalkyl)-2,3-dihydroquinolin-4(1H)-ones and 5,7-dimethyl-2,2-bis(polyfluoroalkyl)-2,3-dihydro-4H-pyrano[2,3-b]pyridin-4-ones after acid hydrolysis. Similar reaction with 2-trifluoromethyl-4H-thiochromen-4-one proceeds as a 1,2-addition to give 2,4-bis(trifluoromethyl)-4H-thiochromen-4-yl trimethylsilyl ether.

The latter was incorporated into oligodeoxyribonucleotides by standard automated synthesis techniques, where pyrrolo-dC was found to serve as a fluorescent analog of deoxycytidine. The cyanoethylphosphoramidite (2b) of pyrrolo-C (2a, 6-methyl-3-(β-d-ribofuranosyl)-3H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidin-2-one) was also synthesized and may find use for the site-specific incorporation of a fluorescent cytidine analog into oligoribonucleotides.
