Synthesis and ring-chain isomerism of acid chlorides and amides of 2-(2-pyridyl and 2-quinolylcarbonyl) benzoic acids

The reaction of 2-(2 pyridytcarbonyl)benzoic acid with thionyl chloride affords an unexpected product of the intramolecular acylation of the pyridine nitrogen atom, namely, 6,11-dioxo-6,11-dihydrobenzo[blquinotizinium chloride. At the same time, 2-(2-quinotylcarbonyl)benzoic acid forms the expected cyclic acid chloride, namely, 3-(2-gitinotyl)-3-chlorophthalide in this reaction. Both compounds acylate ammonia and primary amines, including those with bulky alkyl groups (tert-butyl, 1-adamantyl, and 1,1,3,3-tetramethylbutyl) with the formation of 2-R-3-hydroxy-3-(2pyridyl- or 2-quinolyl)isoindolines. The protonation of the pyridine nitrogen atom of N-(1,1,3,3-tetramethylbutyl)-2-(2pyridylcarbonyl)benzamide, obtained in the open amide form, is accompanied by the closing of the isoindotinone ring; the deprotonation is accompanied by ring opening.Riga Technical University, Riga LV-1048.

Synthesis and structural assignment of 5,6-dihydro-8-hydroxy-9-methoxy-1H,7H-benzo[ij] quinolizine-1,7-dione

The compound 5,6-dihydro-8-hydroxy-9-methoxy-1H,7H-benzo[ij]quinolizine-1,7-dione ( 4a ) was synthesized from 3-(1,4-dihydro-6,7-dimethoxy-4-oxo-1-quinolyl)propionic acid ( 3a , free base), involving spontaneous demethylation with ring closure. The structural assignment of 4a was based on an analogous, unequivocal synthesis of 5,6-dihydro-9-ethoxy-8-hydroxy-1H,7H-benzo[ij]quinolizine-1,7-dione hydrochloride ( 4b ).     

Synthesis of the precursors of bis(trichloro-1,4-benzoquinonyl)tetrathiafulvalenes

In reaction with potassium butylxanthate and sodium tert-butyltrithionate, 2,5-dihydroxy-3,4,6,7-tetrachloro-2,3-dihydrobenzo[b]furan forms the products from nucleophilic substitution of a chlorine atom, i.e., O-butyl S-(2,5-dihydroxy-4,6,7-trichloro-2,3-dihydrobenzo[b]furan-3-yl) xanthate and S-tert-butyl S-(2,5-dihydroxy-4,6,7-trichloro-2,3-dihydrobenzo[b]furan-3-yl) trithiocarbonate respectively. Recyclization of the xanthate in concentrated sulfuric acid gave 4-(2,5-dihydroxy-3,4,6-trichlorophenyl)-1,3-dithiol-2-one, which was oxidized by iron trichloride to the corresponding benzoquinone. Cyclization of the trithiocarbonate in the presence of trifluoroacetic and p-toluenesulfonic acid led to 7-hydroxy-5,6,8-trichloro-3a,8b-dithiolo[4,5-b]benzo[d]furan-2-thione.Dedicated to Prof. A. Katritzky in honor of his seventieth birthday.Riga Technical University, Riga LV-1048, Latvia. Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 8, pp. 1055–1060, August, 1998.     

Synthesis of 3-(2-Oxo-2,3-dihydrobenzo[<Emphasis Type="Italic">b</Emphasis>]furan-3-ylidenehydrazono)-2,3-dihydrobenzo[<Emphasis Type="Italic">b</Emphasis>]furan-2-one

Reactions of benzophenone and fluoren-9-one hydrazones with (2-hydroxyphenyl)oxoacetic acid gave [carboxy(2-hydroxyphenyl)methylidenehydrazono](2-hydroxyphenyl)acetic acid which underwent intramolecular cyclization with formation of 3-(2-oxo-2,3-dihydrobenzo[bfuran-3-ylidenehydrazono)-2,3-dihydrobenzo[b]furan-2-one. The symmetric azine was also obtained by reactions of (2-hydroxyphenyl)oxoacetic acid with triphenylphosphoranylidenehydrazones derived from benzophenones, fluoren-9-one, and 1-methyl-2,3-dihydro-1H-indole-2,3-dione.     

Synthetic studies on diuretics. 5-(3,3-N,S-substituted-2-propenoyl)-2,3-dihydro-2- benzo[b]furancarboxylic acids

6,7-Dichloro-2,3-dihydro-2-benzo[b]furancarboxylic acid derivatives having a 3,3-N,S-disubstituted-2-propenoyl group at the 5-position were prepared by alkylation of 5-(thiocarbamoyl)acetyl derivatives of the 2,3-dihydro-2-benzo[b]furancarboxylic acid ester or by acetal exchange reaction of 5-[3,3-bis(alkylthio)-2-propenoyl] derivatives. Synthesis of 5-[4 and/or 5-(di)substituted-4-thiazolin-2-ylidene]acetyl-2,3- dihydro-2-benzo[b]furancarboxylic acids was also achieved by the reaction of 2-halo-1-methoxyethyl isothiocyanate with the 5-acetyl derivative in the presence of base or through sulfide contraction of 2-[[6,7-dichloro-2-methoxycarbonyl-2,3-dihydrobenzo[b]furan-5-yl) carbonyl)-methylthio]thiazolium bromide. Some of the compounds which were synthesized showed potent natriuretic activities in rats and mice. The structure-activity relationship is also discussed.

Synthesis and conversions of 5-(3,5-6-trichloro-1,4-benzoquinon-2-yl)-2-isopropylidenehydrazinothiazole and 2-isopropylidenazinothiazolines

When 2,5-dihydroxy-3,4,6,7-tetrachloro-2,3-dihydrobenzo[b]furan interacts in acetone with thiosemicarbazide or its 4-methyl or 4-phenyl derivative, the respective products are 5-(2,5-dihydroxy-3,4,6-trichlorophenyl)-2-(isopropylidenehydrazino)thiazole and -3-R-2-(isopropylidenazino)thiazolines, respectively. It has been shown that hydrolysis of these compounds forms 3-amino-5-(2,5-dihydroxy-3,4,6-trichlorophenyl)-2-imino(or 2-R-imino)thiazolines. These products of hydrolysis and their predecessors are oxidized to the corresponding 2-hetaryl-substituted 3,5,6-trichloro-1,4-benzoquinones.Riga Technical University, Riga, LV-1048.

Metallation of pyridines and quinolines in the presence of a remote carboxylate group. New syntheses of heterocyclic quinones

2-(3- and 2-Pyridylcarbonyl)benzoic acids (2,3), 2-(2-pyridylcarbonyl)thiophene-3-carboxylic acid (6), 2-(3-quinolylcarbonyl)benzoic acid (10), and most of the corresponding esters (compounds 1,7 and 9 ) are readily synthesized and involved in a deprotonation-condensation sequence. Biologically active aza-anthraquinones such as benzo[g]isoquinoline-5,10-dione (2-azaanthraquinone, 4 ) and benzo[g]quinoline-5,10-dione (1-azaanthraquinone, 5) are prepared using the strategy. Extension to other heterocyclic quinones such as thieno[3,2-g]quinoline-4,9-dione (8) and benzo[j]phenanthridine-7,12-dione (11) is also investigated.     

Synthesis and reactions of 1-(4-bromo-, 4-fluoro-, and 4-trifluoromethylphenyl)-6,6-dimethyl-4-oxo-4,5,6,7-tetrahydroindazoles

From 2-formyldimedone and 4-bromo-, 4-fluoro-, and 4-trifluoromethylphenylhydrazines we have obtained the corresponding 2-arylhydrazinomethylenedimedones, which in acid medium undergo ring closure to form 1-substituted 6,6-dimethyl-4-oxo-4,5,6,7-tetrahydroindazoles. Oxidation of the latter by selenous acid leads to the corresponding 4,5-dioxo-4,5,6,7-tetrahydroindazoles, which then were converted to derivatives of 4,5-dihydro-3H-pyrazolo[4,3-a]phenazine and 4,5-dihydro-1H(3H)-indazolo[4,5-d]imidazole.Riga Technical University, Riga LV-1658.

Dynamic Kinetic Resolution of 2,3-Dihydrobenzo[b]furans: Chemoenzymatic Synthesis of Analgesic Agent BRL 37959

An efficient asymmetric synthesis of (S)-2,3-dihydrobenzo[b]furan-3-carboxylic acid (8?a) and (S)-5-chloro-2,3-dihydrobenzo[b]furan-3-carboxylic acid (8?b) was established. Key to the success was the highly stereoselective enzymatic kinetic resolution of the corresponding methyl or ethyl esters that was further developed into a dynamic process. As a reliable and fast tool for analysing the enantiomeric excess, HPLC coupled with a CD detector was utilized. The route was completed by a Friedel-Crafts acylation of ethyl (S)-5-chloro-2,3-dihydrobenzo[b]furan-3-carboxylate (7?c) followed by saponification leading to (S)-5-chloro-2,3-dihydrobenzo[b]furan-3-carboxylic acid (2), an analgesic agent.
