6-Substituted benzyl-4-phenyl-3-thioxo-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1,2,4-triazin-5-ones 3a-d were prepared and converted into their corresponding 3-methylthio derivatives 4a-d . Reaction of compounds 4a-d with hydrazine hydrate gave the corresponding 4-amino-3-anilino-4,5-dihydro-1,2,4-triazin-5-ones 5a-d . 6-Substituted benzyl-4-phenyl-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1,2,4-triazin-3,5-diones 9a-c were synthesized and allowed to react with hydrazine hydrate to give the corresponding 6-substituted benzyl-4-amino-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1,2,4-triazin-3,5-diones 10a-c . The biological evaluation of some of these triazines is described. All compounds were screened for antiviral, antibacterial, antimycobacterial, antifungal and antiyeast activity. No important biological activity was found.

Ethyl 3-amino-4,4,4-trifluorocrotonate ( 3 ) has been converted by a one step reaction with alkyl and aryl isocyanates to novel 3-substituted-6-(trifluoromethyI)uracils. Also several 3-amino-4,4,4-trifluorocrotonitriles ( 11a-c ) have been cyclized to novel 6-(trifluoromethyI)cytosines ( 13a-c ) and then hydrolyzed to the corresponding uracils ( 4, 14b-c ). Alkylation studies with isopropyl bromide of three 6-(trifluoromethyl)uracils ( 1, 4, 5 ) are described.     

Synthesis of isocoumarins and alpha-pyrones via tandem Stille reaction/heterocyclization

A general route to alpha-pyrones and 3-substituted isocoumarins from (Z)-iodovinylic acids 1a-f or 2-iodobenzoic acids 4a-c is described, including compounds bearing a substituent on the aromatic ring. Treatment of (Z)-beta-iodovinylic acids 1a-f or 2-iodobenzoic acids 4a-c with various allenyltributyltin reagents in the presence of palladium acetate, triphenylphosphine, and tetrabutylammonium bromide in dimethylformamide provided good yields of the corresponding alpha-pyrones 3a-k or 3-substituted isocoumarins 5a-g via tandem Stille reaction and 6-endo-dig oxacyclization.     

Synthesis and antimicrobial activity of some novel 5-alkyl-6-substituted uracils and related derivatives

6-chloro-5-ethyl-, n-propyl- and isopropyluracils 5a-c were efficiently prepared from the corresponding 5-alkybarbituric acids 3a-c via treatment with phosphorus oxychloride and N,N-dimethylaniline to yield the corresponding 5-alkyl-2,4,6-trichloro-pyrimidines 4a-c, which were selectively hydrolyzed by heating in 10% aqueous sodium hydroxide for 30 minutes. The reaction of compounds 5a-c with 1-substituted piperazines yielded the corresponding 5-alkyl-6-(4-substituted-1-piperazinyl)uracils 6a-j. The target 8-alkyltetrazolo[1,5-f]pyrimidine-5,7(3H,6H)-diones 7a-c were prepared via the reaction of 5a-c with sodium azide. Compounds 6a-j and 7a-c were tested for in vitro activities against a panel of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria and the yeast-like pathogenic fungus Candida albicans. Compound 6h displayed potent broad-spectrum antibacterial activity, while compound 6b showed moderate activity against the Gram-positive bacteria. All the tested compounds were practically inactive against Candida albicans.     

Reactions of 2-hydroxybenzonitrile with isocyanates

Triethylamine catalyzes the reaction of 2-hydroxybenzonitrile ( 1 ) with aryl isocyanates to form the corresponding carbamates 2a-c , as well as the cyclization of the latter compounds to either 4[N-(N-arylcarbamoyl)-imino]-3-aryl-2H-1,3-benzoxazin-2-ones 4a-c , or 4-arylamino-2H-1,3-benzoxazin-2-ones 7a-c , depending on the reaction temperature. Under analogous conditions, the carbamates obtained from 1 and 2-chloroethyl isocyanate, 3-chloropropyl isocyanate and ethyl isocyanatoacetate undergo a double cyclization yielding imidazo- and pyrimido[1,2-c|1,3]benzoxazinones 13a,b,17 . Upon heating in phenyl ether, compounds 7a-c , rearrange to 2-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-4(3H)-quinazolinones 10a-c .     

Facile syntheses of 2,2-dimethyl-6-(2-oxoalkyl)-1,3-dioxin-4-ones and the corresponding 6-substituted 4-hydroxy-2-pyrones

A variety of 2,2-dimethyl-6-(2-oxoalkyl)-1,3-dioxin-4-ones 5a-l and the corresponding 6-substituted 4-hydroxy-2-pyrones 3a-l were prepared in high yields under mild reaction conditions by the reaction of 2,2,6-trimethyl-1,3-dioxin-4-one 4 with 1-acylbenzotriazoles 9 in the presence of LDA followed by thermal cyclization of 5a-l to 3a-l. Synthesis of novel 6-(1-benzoylalkyl)-2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxin-4-ones 12a-c was achieved by alkylation of dioxinone 5a and their subsequent cyclization gave 5-alkyl-4-hydroxy-2-pyrones 13a-c.     

Facile synthesis of 1-substituted 4,5-diaminopyrazoles and its application toward the synthesis of pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyrazines

1-Substituted 5-aminopyrazole-4-carbonylazides were prepared from the appropriate 5-aminopyrazole-4-carboxylates. The acyl azides undergo a Curtius rearrangement followed by quenching with alcohols to form the corresponding carbamates. The 1-substituted 5-amino-4-benzyloxycarbonylaminopyrazoles were unblocked by catalytic hydrogenolysis to give the desired 4,5-diaminopyrazoles. These 4,5-diaminopyrazoles were immediately condensed with glyoxal to afford 1-substituted pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyrazines.     

Synthesis of 4-chloro-7-ethoxy-2(3H)-benzoxazolone-6-carboxylic acid

As a part of metabolic studies of mosapride ( 1 ), a potential gastroprokinetic agent, the synthesis of 4-chloro-7-ethoxy-2(3H)-benzoxazolone-6-carboxylic acid ( 7 ) as a derivative of 4-amino-5-chloro-2-ethoxy-3-hydroxybenzoic acid ( 6 ), which has served a benzoic acid part of the metabolites 4 and 5 , is described. Treatment of methyl 3-amino-4-substituted amino-5-chloro-2-ethoxybenzoate derivatives 11a-c with sodium nitrate in acidic medium gave the benzotriazole derivatives 13x,y instead of the objective 3-hydroxy counterpart. The synthesis of 7 started from o-vanillin acetate ( 15 ) and proceeded through the intermediates 2-hydroxy-3-methoxy-4-nitrobenzaldehyde ( 18 ), methyl 4-amino-2,3-dihydroxybenzoate ( 23 ), and methyl 7-hydroxy-2(3H)-benzoxazolone-6-carboxylate ( 30 ). Compound 30 was alternatively prepared from 23 via methyl 4-ethoxycarbonylamino-2-ethoxycarbonyloxy-3-hydroxybenzoate ( 29 ), which is the product resulting from the migration of the ethoxycarbonyl group of methyl 4-amino-2,3-diethoxycar-bonyloxybenzoate ( 27 ).     

Synthesis and biological activities of 1-[2-(dimethylamino)ethyl]- and 1-[3-(dimethylamino)propyl]-substituted 3-methyl-1,8-dihydrocycloheptapyrazol-8-ones and related compounds.

3-Methyl-1,8-dihydrocycloheptapyrazol-8-ones (2a-c), prepared from 3-acetyltropolones (1a-c), were treated with diazomethane, methyl iodide, dimethyl sulfate, and diethyl sulfate to give 1- and 2-alkylated compounds. The 1,8-dihydrocycloheptapyrazol-8-one (2a) also reacted with 2-(dimethylamino)ethyl, 2-(diethylamino)ethyl, 3-(dimethylamino)propyl, and 2,3-dihydroxypropyl chloride to afford the corresponding 1-substituted products. A preliminary study was made of the biological activities of some of the obtained compounds.     

A short and general synthesis of 1,3-dihydro-6-heteroaryl-5-perfluoroalkyl-2H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-2-ones

Trifluoro or pentafluoroacylation of heteroaryl-enamines 2a,b gave the corresponding perfluoroacylated heteroaryl-enamines 3a-c . Heating the latter compounds with diethyl iminomalonate gave 2-amino-3-pyridinecarboxylates 4a-c . Hydrolysis to the free acids 5a-c , and reaction with diphenylphosphoryl azide afforded the desired 1,3-dihydro-6-heteroaryl-5-perfluoroalkyl-2H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-2-ones 6a-c .     

Synthesis of 1-substituted 3-nitroquinolin-4(1H)-ones

A versatile synthetic method for preparing 1-substituted 3-nitroquinolin-4(1H)-ones from corresponding 2-fluoro-α-nitroacetophenones is demonstrated by the synthesis of 6,7-difluoro derivatives 7a-c . The method involves sequential treatment of the starting nitroacetophenone with triethyl orthoformate and the appropriate amine, followed by a nucleophilic cyclization reaction under mild conditions. The C-7 fluorine atom of 7 can be displaced by cyclic amines. Substituted 6-fluoro-7-(4-methyl-1-piperazinyl)-3-nitroquinolin-4(1H)-ones 8a-c were prepared in this way.     

Novel synthesis and properties of 1,6-methanocycloundeca[b]pyrimido[5,4-d]pyrrole-12,14-dione derivatives: autorecycling oxidation of some amines and alcohols

Novel 1,6-methanocycloundeca[b]pyrimido[5,4-d]pyrrole-12,14-dione derivatives 6a,b and 7a-c were synthesized in moderate to good yields by the enamine alkylation and dehydrating condensation reactions of 11-chloro-3,8-methano[11]annulenone (8) with 6-amino-3-substituted uracil derivatives and subsequent elimination of HCl. The (1)H NMR spectra clarified that compounds 6a,b and 7a-c are aromatic molecules having a diatropic pi-system, which is suggested by the chemical shifts of the bridge methylene protons and peripheral protons. The electrochemical reduction exhibited more positive reduction potentials as compared with those of the vinylogous compounds of cyclohepta[b]pyrimido[5,4-d]pyrrole derivatives. In a search for the oxidizing function of 6a,b and 7a-c, compounds 6a and 7b were demonstrated to oxidize benzylamines, cyclohexylamine, and benzyl alcohol to give the corresponding carbonyl compounds in more than 100% yield under aerobic and photoirradiation conditions, while only benzylamine was oxidized under aerobic and thermal conditions at 100 degrees C. Thus, compounds 6a and 7b oxidize amines and alcohols in an autorecyling process, and the efficiency is higher under photoirradiation as compared with the thermal process, suggesting the oxidation reaction probably proceeds via electron transfer from amine and alcohol to the excited and ground states of compounds 6a and 7b.     

Reactions with hydrazidoyl halides. IV. Synthesis of thiazolo[3,2-a]benzimidazoles,imidazo[2,1-6]thiazoles and pyrazolo[4,3-b]thiazines

Hydrazidoyl halides were condensed with 2-mercaptobenzimidazole yielding 4a-c and 7a,b which were cyclized to the corresponding 2-arylhydrazonothiazolo[3,2-a]benzimidazol-3-ones 5a,b and 3-substituted 2-arylazo thiazolo[3,2-a]benzimidazoles 8a,b respectively. Imidazo[2,1-b]thiazoles were obtained by the reaction of hydrazidoyl halides with 2-mercapto-4,5-dihydroimidazole. Also, hydrazidoyl halides 6a,b were reacted with 3-amino-4-mercapto-5-phenylpyrazole to give pyrazolo[4,3-b]thiazines 15a,b . The structures of the products were assigned on the basis of their elemental analysis and spectral data.     

Halogenated 7-deazapurine nucleosides: stereoselective synthesis and conformation of 2'-deoxy-2'-fluoro-beta-D-arabinonucleosides

The stereoselective syntheses of 5-halogenated 7-(2-deoxy-2-fluoro-beta-D-arabinofuranosyl)-7H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidine nucleosides 3b-d, 4a-c as well as 7-deaza-2'-deoxyisoguanosine are described. Nucleobase anion glycosylation of 2-amino-4-chloro-7H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidine (5) with 3,5-di-O-benzoyl-2-deoxy-2-fluoro-alpha-D-arabinofuranosyl bromide (6) exclusively gave the beta-D-anomer, which was deblocked (--> 8), aminated at C4 (--> 3a) and selectively deaminated at C2 to yield 2'-deoxy-2'-fluoro-beta-D-arabinofuranosyl 7-deazaisoguanine (2). Condensation of the 5-halogenated 4-chloro-2-pivaloylamino-7H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidines 9a-c with 6 furnished the N7-nucleosides 10a-c together with N2,N7-bisglycosylated compounds 11a-c. The former was converted to the corresponding 2,4-diamino-compounds 3b-d, and the latter was deblocked by NaOMe/MeOH to yield the 4-methoxy-nucleosides 4a-c. Conformational analysis of the sugar moiety of the nucleosides 2 and 3a-d was performed on the basis of vicinal [1H,1H] coupling constants. The fluorine atom in the sugar moiety shifts the sugar conformation from S towards N by about 10%, while the halogen substituents in the base moiety increase the hydrophobicity and polarizability of the nucleobases.     

Synthesis of substituted 2-amino-3-cyanopyrroles

A method was worked out for the preparation of substituted 2-amino-3-cyanopyrroles from N-acyl-α -amino ketones and malononitrile. Acyl derivatives of 2-amino-3-cyanopyrroles were obtained. A number of Mannich bases were synthesized by aminomethylation of 2-acetamido-3-cyano-4-phenylpyrrole.     

The photochemistry of benzotriazole derivatives. Part 2: photolysis of 1-substituted benzotriazole arylhydrazones: new route to phenanthridin-6-yl-2-phenyldiazines

Irradiation of 1-substituted benzotriazole arylhydrazones 3a-c, 4a,b and 5a,b with a 16 W low pressure mercury arc-lamp (254 nm) for 24 h gave phenanthridin-6-yl-2-phenyldiazines 9a-c, phenanthridin-6(5H)-ones 10a-c, 1-anilinobenzimidazoles 11a-c, 2-aryl-1H-benzimidazoles 12a-c, 1-arylamino-1H-benzimidazol-2-carboxylic acid ethyl esters 14a,b, 1-aryl-1H, 9H-benzo [4,5][1,2,3] triazolo[1,2-a]tetrazole-3-carboxylic acid ethyl esters 16a,b, 1-arylamino-2-benzoylbenzimidazoles 18a,b and 2-benzoylbenzoxazole 21.

The reaction of 1 with aromatic methylene compounds lOa-c affords the ketones 13a-c in moderate to high yields. Similar products are also obtained from the reaction of monoximes 15a,b with some of the above reactants. The unexpected products 5 and 20 are obtained from the reaction of 1 with 2-methylimidazole ( 2d ) and with phenyloxirane ( 19 ) respectively, while the 4H-1,4-oxazine derivative 23 is obtained from the reaction of 1 with indene ( 21 ).

The corresponding 2,3-substituted 4(3H)-quinazolinones were obtained in the reactions of 2-methyl- and 2-phenyl-4-oxo-3,1-benzoxazines with 1-amino-1,2,4-triazole, 4-amino-2,3-dimethyl-1-phenyl-5-pyrazolone, 2-amino-5-ethyl-1,3,4-thiadiazole, 3-amino-6,6-dimethyl-4-oxo-4,5,6,7-tetrahydroindazole, 1-amino-3-cyano-4,6-dimethyl-2-pyridone, and 1-amino-3-cyano-6-phenyl-4-trifluoromethyl-2-pyridone. The formation of N-benzolyanthranilamides in the reactions of 2-phenyl-4-oxo-3,1-benzoxazine with 2-amino-5-ethyl-1,3,4-thiadiazole and 1-amino-3-cyano-6-phenyl-4-trifluoromethyl-2-pyridones was exceptional. The structures of two of the products have been confirmed by X-ray crystallography.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 7, pp. 936–943, July, 2000.

The products were pyrazoles 2a-d , N-methylpyrazoles 3a-d, 4a-d and N-methylpyrazolinones 6a-c and 7a-c . The regiochemistry of the cyclization reactions showed dependence upon the reaction conditions employed as well as upon the sub-stituent in the aromatic ring.
