3-(4-fluorophenyl)-1<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>-pyrazole-4-carbaldehyde in the synthesis of aza-and diazaphenanthrene derivatives

Condensation of 3-(4-fluorophenyl)-1H-pyrazole-4-carbaldehyde with 2-naphthyl-or 6-quinolylamine and CH-acids (acetone, acetophenone, cyclic mono-and β-diketones) provided new derivatives of benzo[f]quinoline, benzo[a]phenanthridine, benzo[a]acridine, and 4,7-phenanthroline. The arising in the course of the reaction [3-(4-fluorophenyl)-1H-pyrazole-4-ylmethylene]-2-naphthyl-(or 6-quinolyl)amines, [3-(4-fluorophenyl)-1H-pyrazole-4-ylmethylene]-1,3-indandione, and octahydro-1,8-xanthenedione derivatives were isolated.     

Synthesis of new imidazole derivatives

The derivatives of 1‐propyl‐ and 1‐butyl‐ of 2‐methyl‐5‐nitroimidazole containing phenylpiperazine, m‐chloro‐ and o‐methoxyphenylpiperazine attached at the end of alkyl chain were synthesed. For the obtained new compounds, the biological activity was predicted using the computer program PASS.     

Synthesis of new anthracene derivatives

An efficient synthesis is described for hexabromoanthracenes 3 and 4 by direct bromination of 9,10-dibromoanthrecene 2. Whereas base-induced elimination of hexabromide 3 with t-BuOK gave 2,3,9,10-tetrabromoanthracene 5, the reaction of hexabromide 4 with DBU afforded 1,3,9,10-tetrabromoanthracene 6 as the sole product. Tetrabromide 5 was also obtained by aromatization of 1,4-dinitroxy-2,3,9,10-tetrabromo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroanthracene 17. Efficient and convenient synthetic routes are described for the preparation of dinotroxy 17, dimethoxy 23, and dihydroxides 18 and 19 with silver-induced substitution of hexabromides 3 and 4. The hydroxy compounds 19 and 18 were converted to diepoxide 20 and monoepoxide 21, respectively, with sodium methoxide. Base-promoted aromatization of dimethoxide 23 afforded dibromomonomethoxides 26 and 27. Bromoanthracenes and isomeric arene oxides constitute valuable precursors for the preparation of functionalized substituted anthracene derivatives that are difficult to prepare by other routes.     

Synthesis of new pyrrolidone derivatives

Reaction of N-chloromethylpyrrolidone with the sodio-derivatives of malonic and substituted malonic esters in dry ether has given the diethyl esters of the corresponding 2-oxopyrrolidinomethylmalonic acids.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 9, pp. 1201–1202, September, 1970.

Synthesis of new quinoxaline derivatives

Proceeding from 2-aminoquinoxaline-3-carbonitrile 1,4-dioxides new derivatives of quinoxaline and quinoxaline 1,4-dioxide were synthesized containing in the position 3 of the quinoxaline fragment 1,2,4-oxadiazole and tetrazole rings. The acylation of 2-amino-N′-hydroxyquinoxaline-3-carbox imidoamide 1,4-dioxide was investigated.     

Synthesis and reducing power assay of methyl semicarbazone derivatives

In the present study we have designed a new pharmacophore ‘Chalconesemicarbazone’ by pharmacophore hybridization approach of drug design. A series of novel chalconesemicarbazones was synthesized and evaluated for their antioxidant activity by reducing power assay. Most of the compounds were found to be potent antioxidants. Free radicals play an important role in various pathological and xenotoxic effects so antioxidant may have protective role in these pathological conditions. Based on the results of reducing power assay 1-[1-(2,4-dihydroxyphenyl)-3-(2-hydroxyphenyl)allylidene]-4-(4-methylphenyl)semicarbazide (compound 18) and 1-[1-(2,5-dihydroxyphenyl)-3-(6-hydroxyphenyl)allylidene]-4-(4-methylphenyl)semicarbazide (compound 21) were the most active lead compounds. It was found that methoxy and hydroxyl substituted chalconesemicarbazones exhibited potent reducing power and unsubstituted compound showed less reducing potential.

Synthesis of methyl derivatives of linear and angular thienocoumarins and thiopyranocoumarins

New linear and angular thienocoumarins and thiopyranocoumarins were synthesized. The key intermediates were appropriate methyl derivatives of 7-mercaptocoumarin, which were condensed with chloro-ketones or propargyl chloride. Thioethers were cyclized under various conditions in order to determine which methods produced the best yields of the desired thienocoumarins 15, 16, 17, 18, 22, 23, 24, 27 and thiopyranocoumarins 28 and 29 .     

Synthesis and reactions of the thioamide derivatives of methyl vinyl ketone

The reaction of isothiocyanates with in situ generated carbanions of α,β‐unsaturated ketones yielded α,β‐unsaturated keto thioamides which in the reaction with acids or bases cyclized to give 2,6‐disubstituted thiopyran‐4‐ones and in the reaction with α‐bromoesters gave thiazolidin‐4‐one derivatives. The thiopyran‐4‐ones reacted with α,β‐unsaturated aldehydes to yield tetrahydrothiopyran[2,3‐b]pyridin‐4‐ones, while thioanilides were formed in the reaction with phenyl isothiocyanate.
