Synthesis of 4-hydroxy-5-methyl-2-[2-(4-oxo-4<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>-chromen-3-yl)ethenyl]-6<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>-1,3-oxazin-6-ones and their reaction with hydrazine

4-Hydroxy-6H-1,3-oxazin-6-ones containing a 3-vinylchromone fragment in the 2-position were synthesized. The direction of their reactions with hydrazine hydrate was found to depend on the solvent nature. The reaction in protic solvents (methanol, acetic acid) resulted in recyclization of both oxazine ring to 1,2,4-triazole and pyranone ring to pyrazole. Aprotic acetonitrile favored attack of hydrazine exclusively on the oxazine ring, while the 3-vinylchromone fragment remained intact.

Alkylation of 4-hydroxy-2H-chromen-2-ones with 2-chloromethyloxirane in acetone in the presence of potassium carbonate gave 4-(2,3-epoxypropoxy)-2H-chromen-2-ones which were treated with various amines to obtain the corresponding 4-(3-amino-2-hydroxypropoxy)-2H-chromen-2-ones, and the latter were acylated at the hydroxy group with benzoyl chloride.

The manufacturing synthesis of 5-hydroxy-2-methyl-1H-indole is described and two synthetic methods were used and the results discussed. Two small and three large runs with Nenitzescu’s method were analyzed and results reported with different reaction conditions. Manufacturing issues encountered were discussed. Production scale of more than 60 kg of the 5-hydroxy-2-methyl-1H-indole-3-carboxylic acid ethyl ester and over 20 kg of the 5-hydroxy-2-methyl-1H-indole were achieved.

2-(2-thienyl)-6-methyl-6<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>-imidazo[4,5-<Emphasis Type="Italic">g</Emphasis>][1,3]benzothiazole: Synthesis and some transformations

Oxidation of N-(1-methylbenzimidazol-5-yl)thiophene-2-carbothioamide with potassium ferricyanide in an alkaline medium by Jacobson’s method afforded 2-(thien-2-yl)-6-methyl-6H-imidazo[4,5-g][1,3]benzothiazole. The latter enters into the electrophilic substitution reaction (nitration, bromination, formylation, acylation) exclusively at the position 5 of the thiophene ring. Characteristic reactions of nucleophilic substitution occurred at the imidazole ring. Quaternization with methyl iodide in benzene furnished the corresponding quaternary salt, whereas the Chichibabin amination with an excess of sodium amide in xylene gave negative result.     

Synthesis of 6-methyl-8<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>-dibenzo[<Emphasis Type="Italic">a</Emphasis>,<Emphasis Type="Italic">g</Emphasis>]quinolizin-8-imines <Emphasis Type="Italic">via Reissert</Emphasis> compounds

Alkylation of Reissert compounds derived from 3-methylisoquinolines with several 2-cyanobenzylbromides followed by hydrolytic cleavage provided the corresponding 1-benzyl-3-methylisoquinolines. Treatment of the latter with methylmagnesiumiodide caused cyclization to the title compounds rather than formation of 2-acetylbenzylisoquinolines.

Nitration of 2,3-dihydro-1H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-2-one gave its 5-nitro derivative which was subjected to alkylation with dimethyl sulfate, diethyl sulfate, and benzyl(dimethyl)phenylammonium chloride. The resulting 1,3-dimethyl-, 1,3-diethyl-, and 1,3-dibenzyl-5-nitro-2,3-dihydro-1H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-2-ones were reduced to the corresponding 1,3-dialkyl-5-amino-2,3-dihydro-1H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-2-ones, and the latter reacted with itaconic acid to produce 1-(1,3-dialkyl-2-oxo-2,3-dihydro-1H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-5-yl)-5-oxopyrrolidine-3-carboxylic acids. 1-(2-Oxo-2,3-dihydro-1H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-5-yl)-5-oxopyrrolidine-3-carboxylic acid was obtained by analogous reaction with 5-amino-2,3-dihydro-1H-imidazo[4,5-b]-pyridin-2-one.

Reactions of 2-alkylsulfanyl- and 2-alkoxy-4-hydroxy-6H-1,3-oxazin-6-ones with oxygen-centered nucleophiles were studied. 2-Alkoxy-4-hydroxy-6H-1,3-oxazin-6-ones reacted with water and alcohols to give the corresponding alkyl 3-amino-3-oxopropanoates as a result of opening of the oxazine ring at the C⁶-O bond, whereas their 2-alkylsulfanyl analogs turned out to be stable toward O-nucleophiles. The different reactivities of the title compounds were interpreted in terms of quantum-chemical calculations of their electronic structure.
