The nitrogen inversion in fused isoxazolidinyl derivatives of substituted uracil: synthesis,NMR and computational analysis

A series of fused isoxazolidines have been prepared via 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reactions of N-protected methylenenitrones with 1,3-dimethyluracil derivatives, and their NMR spectra have been recorded in TFA-d and in CDCl₃ over a wide range of temperatures. The spectra indicate the presence of two invertomers for all isoxazolidines. Barriers to nitrogen inversion in the cycloadduct 6a have been determined using DFT quantochemical calculations. Our estimates have shown that the inversion proceeds at more complex path, involving four structures of local minima and four transition states.

     

Synthesis and antimicrobial activities evaluation of some new thiadiazinone and thiadiazepinone derivatives bearing sulfonamide moiety

A new series of novel functionalized 1,3,4-thiadiazin-5-ones and 1,3,4-thiadi-azepin-5-ones bearing sulfonamide moieties were synthesized via 1,3-dipolar cyclocondensation reaction of nitrilimines with α-mercaptoesters and mercaptosuccinic acid respectively. The structures of the prepared compounds were confirmed by spectral methods (IR, ¹H-NMR, ¹³C-NMR and MS spectroscopy) and elemental analysis. The newly synthesized compounds were screened for their in vitro antimicrobial activity. Some of titled compounds exhibited significant antimicrobial activity on several strains of microbes.     

Stereoselective synthesis of pyrrolidinyl glycines from nitrones: complementarity of nucleophilic addition and 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition

Epimeric pyrrolidinyl glycines, a sort of conformationally constrained α,β-diaminoacids, were stereoselectively prepared using complementary approaches based on nitrone chemistry. Nucleophilic additions to pyrrolidinyl nitrones and 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions of l-serine derived nitrones to form the corresponding hydroxylamines and isoxazolidines, respectively, provided key intermediates for the synthesis of the target compounds. Whereas the nucleophilic addition route afforded the syn adduct, the 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition approach furnished the precursor for the preparation of the corresponding anti compound.

A straightforward synthetic approach for the preparation of non N-functionalized isoxazolidines from BF₃-catalyzed 1,3-cycloaddition reactions between methyl glyoxylate oxime and alkenes is described. Subsequently, isoxazolidines were N-functionalized with three chemically active groups (2-chloroethyl, cyanomethyl and 2-acetoxyethyl), thus allowing the preparation of a wide array of N-functionalized isoxazolidines. The compounds were characterized by means of ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry. X-ray analysis was used for stereochemical elucidation.     

Regioselective synthesis of some isoxazolines and isoxazolidines bearing caprolactam moiety

Isoxazoline and isoxazolidine series were obtained by the reactions of aromatic aldonitrones and nitrile oxides with N-vinyl caprolactam via regioselective 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions that yield only 5-caprolactam-substituted regioisomers in moderate yields. The cycloaddition reactions were optimized using different conditions. The utilized one for the transformation of nitrile oxides to isoxazoles is triethylamine at room temperature and the best protocol have been found for the transformation of nitrones to N-methyl isoxazolidines is silver acetate in refluxing xylene. The structural identification of target compounds was established by IR, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), high resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS) spectra, and X-ray diffraction analyses.     

Intramolecular low-temperature 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions of nitrones: synthesis of chromano-heterocycles

In contrast to the reported facile intramolecular 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions of in-situ generated nitrone on heterocyclic systems, reactions of 2-(N-allyl/crotyl/cinnamyl-anilino)-3-formylchromones with N-phenyl-/methylhydroxylamine under comparable conditions, afford fused isoxazolidines only in low to moderate yields; the corresponding amides derived from rearrangement of in situ generated nitrones are formed as major products. However, when reactions were carried by stirring the reactants at an ice-cold temperature in dichloromethane, highly stereoselective intramolecular 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions lead to novel fused isoxazolidines in high yields (80-90%).     

A stereoselective method for the synthesis of enantiopure 3-substituted 4-hydroxyproline derivatives via 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions

The stereoselective 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition between (Z)-1,4-dichloro-2-butene and a menthone-derived nitrone led to the corresponding isoxazolidine. Regioselective azidation of a single chlorine atom followed by another Cu(I)-catalyzed azide–alkyne 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition (CuAAC) induced enantiopure 1,2,3-triazolyl-functionalized isoxazolidines. The subsequent acidic cleavage of the menthone chiral auxiliary and reductive cleavage of the isoxazolidine N–O bond triggered an intramolecular cyclization through the displacement of the second chlorine. This rapid and stereoselective synthetic strategy provided reliable access to a series of enantiopure 3-substituted 4-hydroxyproline derivatives.

An efficient approach to enantiomeric isoxazolidinyl analogues of tiazofurin based on nitrone cycloadditions

An efficient synthetic route to isoxazolidinyl analogues of tiazofurin has been developed. The strategy involves, as a key step, a 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition between acrylonitrile and chiral nonracemic nitrones. An opposite diastereofacial induction was observed when the chiral group was placed at either the carbon atom or the nitrogen one of the nitrone function. The 2-cyano isoxazolidines obtained were further converted into the enantiomeric target compounds by constructing the thiazole ring via condensation with l-cysteine.

A new route for the synthesis of 2,4,5,6-tetrachloroisophthalic and 2,3,5,6-tetrachloroterephthalic aldehydes from the corresponding tetrachlorobenzenes was developed. The method involves dichloromethylation of the initial compounds with chloroform in the presence of aluminum chloride and subsequent hydrolysis of the resulting 1,3-bis(dichloromethyl)-2,4,5,6-tetrachlorobenzene and 1,4-bis(dichloromethyl)-2,3,5,6-tetrachlorobenzene. Stable 2,4,5,6-tetrachlorobenzene-1,3-dicarbonitrile oxide and 2,3,5,6-tetrachlorobenzene-1,4-dicarbonitrile oxide were obtained for the first time from the above aldehydesvia the corresponding oximes.

Synthesis of chiral sultams and their application as chiral auxiliaries in an asymmetric Diels–Alder reaction

A number of bicyclic chiral sultams were synthesized based on 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reactions of nitrile oxides and nitrones with prop-1-ene-1,3-sultone. The corresponding N-enoyl sultams were prepared by acylation.

Good chemical yield and excellent endo selectivity were observed. The relationship between the structure and their effectiveness in promoting asymmetric induction of the synthetic chiral sultams was investigated.     

Cycloaddition reactions of β-trifluoroacetylvinyl ethers

β-Trifluoroacetyl vinyl ethers ROCHCHCOCF₃ react smoothly as dienophiles with α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds to give the unexpected 2-alkoxyl-5-trifluoroacetyl-3,4-dihydro-2H pyrans. These products are formed by elimination and addition of the alcohol to the products of the normal hetero Diels-Alder reaction (2-alkoxyl-3-trifluoroacetyl-2,3-dihydro-2H pyrans). In contrast, 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of ROCHCHCOCF₃ with ArCHN(O)Me proceeds via a Z-endo transition state to give regio- and stereospecific 4-trifluoroacetyl substituted isoxazolidines and their derivatives.     

Synthesis of new bicarbazole-linked triazoles as non-cytotoxic reactive oxygen species (ROS) inhibitors

Abstract

Carbazole analogs 3 and 4 and a new library of bicarbazole-linked triazoles 6–11 were prepared via new synthetic methodology. Metal-catalyzed oxidative coupling reaction was utilized for the synthesis of bicarbazole acetylene 4 and different metals (Zn⁺², Co⁺², Fe⁺³, Ni⁺², Cu⁺², Mn⁺²) as catalyst were screened. Only Fe-catalyzed reaction was found to be excellent and gave homocoupled product 4. Cu-catalyzed 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition was also utilized to install triazole moiety for the synthesis of hybrid molecules 6–11. Based on reported anti-inflammatory activity of carbazole and triazole scaffolds, all compounds were screened for their reactive oxygen species (ROS) inhibitory potential. Results from these studies revealed triazole 9 as most active compound (IC₅₀ value of 7.6?±?0.1?µg/mL on human whole blood and 2.7?±?0.09?µg/mL on isolated neutrophils) using ibuprofen as a standard. Therefore, class described herein can serve as attractive structural element for further studies on ROS inhibition.
