Photochemical reactions of 1-methyl-4,6-diaryl-2(1H)pyrimidinones 1a-b in the presence of thiols 2 are described. Irradiation of 1-methyl-4,6-diaryl-2(1H)-pyrimidinones 1a-b in benzene in the presence of thiols 2 gave the unexpected 2:1-adducts, 3-methyl-4,6-diaryl-5-aralkylthio-6-(1′-methyl-4′,6′-diaryldihydro-pyrimidin-2-on)yl-1,3-diazabicyclo[2.2.0]hexan-2-ones 3-6, of 1 and 2, whereas irradiation of 1a-b alone in benzene resulted in recovery of the unchanged 1a-b.     

Reaction of 1,3-diaryl-2,3-dibromo-1-propanones with urea in basic and acidic medium. Synthesis of pyrimidine,imidazoline and imidazolidine derivatives

Reaction of 1,3-diaryl-2,3-dibromo-1-propanones 1 with urea in basic medium afforded 4,6-diaryl-5-bromo-5,6-dihydropyrimidine-2(1H)-ones 4 . Oxidation of these bromopyrimidines 4 in dimethylsulphoxide gave 4,6-diaryl-1,6-dihydropyrimidine-2,5-diones 6 , which were further converted to their thione analogues 7 . Reaction of 1,3-diaryl-2,3-dibromo-1-propanones 1 with urea, phenylurea and sym-diphenylurea in glacial acetic acid medium gave in appreciable yields 4-phenyl-5-α-(bromoarylmethyl)imidazolin-2-one 8 and 1,3-diphenyl-4-aroyl-5-arylimidazolidin-2-one 11 respectively.     

Reactions of 1,1-diaryl-2-isopropylidene-3-methylenecyclopropanes with C,N-diarylnitrones and nitrile oxides

The reactions of unactivated bis(methylene)cyclopropanes with nitrones and nitrile oxides have been investigated. The 1,1-diaryl-2-isopropylidene-3-methylenecyclopropanes react with the C,N-diarylnitrones to give a mixture of 2,2-dimethyl-1,6-diaryl-3-(diarylmethylene)piperidin-4-ones and 5-methyl-1-aryl-1-(arylamino)-4-(diarylmethylene)hex-5-en-3-ones. 2,3-Dihydro-3-methylenepyridin-4(1H)-ones are obtained by reaction of 1,1-diaryl-2-isopropylidene-3-methylenecyclopropanes with nitrile oxides.     

Ring opening reaction of 1,2-diaryl-3-methyl-1,4,5,6-tetrahydropyrimidinium salts with metal hydride complexes

The reaction of a series of 1,2-diaryl-3-methyl-1,4,5,6-tetrahydropyrimidinium iodides 1 with reducing agents acting by hydride ion transfer was studied. With excellent yields alkaline borohydrides readily reacted to form N'-aryl-N-benzyl-N-methyltrimethylenediamines 3 by reductive cleavage of the intermediate hexahydropyrimidine 2 . Ring opening is explained by the formation of a stabilized iminium ion, which also accounts for the cyclic aminal 2 hydrolysis observed in alcoholic solution after gradual addition of borohydride. Reactions with lithium aluminum hydride or with borane failed to render satisfactory results due to insolubility of the salt in solvents commonly employed. Comparisons are made with the behaviour of 1H-4,5-dihydroimidazolium salts which were studied in an earlier paper.     

The reformatsky reaction of 1-aryl-2(1H)pyrimidinones

1-Aryl-2(1H)pyrimidinones I reacted with α-haloesters in the presence of zinc to give mainly 3,4-dihydro-4-alkoxycarbonylmethyl-1-aryl-2(1H)pyrimidinones IV in addition to the minor products of 3,6-dihydro-6-alkoxycarbonylmethyl-1-aryl-2(1H)pyrimidinones V. Further, 3,4-dihydro derivatives IVa-c were successfully converted into the corresponding exomethylene compounds Vla-c in high yields.     

Synthesis of (<Emphasis Type="Italic">S</Emphasis>)-(-)-1,4-diaryl-6-methyl-4-trifluoromethyl-3,4-dihydropyrimidine-2(1<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>)-thiones

(S)-(+)-4-Amino-4-aryl-5,5,5-trifluoropentan-2-one reacted with aryl isothiocyanates containing electron-withdrawing substituents to give (S)-(−)-1,4-diaryl-6-methyl-4-trifluoromethyl-3,4-dihydropyrimidine-2(1H)-thiones.     

Reaction of sulfene and dichloroketene with open-chain N,N-disubstituted α-aminomethyleneketones. Synthesis of 4-dialkylamino-3,4-dihydro-6-methyl-5-phenyl-1,2-oxathiin 2,2-dioxides and of N,N-disubstituted 4-amino-3-chloro-(6-methyl-5-phenyl)(6-benzyl)-2H-pyran-2-ones

Cycloaddition of sulfene to N,N-disubstituted 4-amino-3-phenyl-3-buten-2-ones (III) occurred in good yield only in the case of aliphatic N-substitution to give 4-dialkylamino-3,4-dihydro-6-methyl-5-phenyl-1,2-oxathiin 2,2-dioxides, whereas N,N-disubstituted 4-amino-1-phenyl-3-buten-2-ones (IV) did not react at all. Polar 1,4-cycloaddition of dichloroketene to III and IV occurred partly in the case of aromatic N-substitution, with the exception of the morpholino derivative IVd, giving in low yield N,N-disubstituted 4-amino-3,3-dichloro-3,4-dihydro-(6-methyl-5-phenyl)(6-benzyl)-2H-pyran-2-ones, which were dehydrochlorinated with DBN to the corresponding 4-amino-3-chloro-(6-methyl-5-phenyl)(6-benzyl)-2H-pyran-2-ones (VII) in good yield. In some cases of aliphatic N,N-disubstitution of III and IV, cycloaddition led directly to N,N-dialkyl derivatives VII in low yield.     

Ring opening reaction of 3,6-Dihydro-2-(1H)pyrimidinones with hydroxylamine hydrochloride

1,4,6-Trisubstituted 3,6-dihydro-2-(1H)pyrimidinones (Ia-d) easily underwent the ring opening reaction with hydroxylamine hydrochloride to afford the oximes (IIa-d) in good yields. In the case of 3,6-dihydro-6-methyl-I-phenyl-2-(1H)pyrimidinone (Ie), 2-anilinobutyronitrile (III) was obtained in addition to the oxime (IIe). Dihydro-2-(1H)pyrimidinone (IV) and -thiones (V and VI) did not undergo the ring opening reaction.     

Ring transformation of 6-methyl-3,4-dihydro-2H-1,3-oxazine-2,4-diones

Ring transformation of 6-methyl-3,4-dihydro-2H-1,3-oxazine-2,4-dione (Ia) and its N-sub-stituted derivatives, such as 3-methyl (Ib), 3-ethyl (Ic), and 3-benzyl (Id) derivatives is described. Reaction of Ia with hydrazine hydrate gave 1-amino-6-methyluracil (II), while Id reacted with hydrazine hydrate to give 3-hydroxy-5-methylpyrazole (III). Reaction of Ia,b,d with ethyl acetoacetate in ethanol in the presence of sodium ethoxide afforded ethyl 3-acetyl-6-hydroxy-4-methyl-2(1H) pyridone-5-carboxylate derivatives (IVa,b,d). On the other hand, reaction of Ib,c,d with ethyl acetoacetate in tetrahydrofuran in the presence of sodium hydride did not give IV, but gave 3-acetyl-1-alkyl-5-(N-alkylcarbamoyl)-6-hydroxy4-methyl-2(1H) pyridone (VIb,c,d). Mechanisms for the formation of compounds IV and VI are discussed.     

A facile and novel synthesis of 1,6-naphthyridin-2(1H)-ones

A new and convenient procedure for the synthesis of 1,6-naphthyridin-2(1H)-ones and their derivatives is described. In the first scheme 5-acetyl-6-[2-(dimethylamino)ethenyl]-1,2-dihydro-2-oxo-3-pyridinecarbonitrile ( 4 ) obtained by the reaction of N,N-dimethylformamide dimethyl acetal with 5-acetyl-1,2-dihydro-6-methyl-2-oxo-3-pyridinecarbonitrile ( 3 ) was cyclized to 1,2-dihydro-5-methyl-2-oxo-1,6-naphthyridine-3-carbonitrile ( 5 ) by the action of ammonium acetate. Thermal decarboxylation of acid 7 obtained from the hydrolysis of nitrile 5 led to a mixture of 5-methyl-1,6-naphthyridin-2(1H)-one ( 8 ) and its dimer 9 . Hydrazide 11 obtained from nitrile 5 in two steps was converted to 3-amino-5-methyl-1,6-naphthyridin-2(1H)-one ( 12 ) by the Curtius rearrangement. The amino group of 12 was readily replaced by treatment with aqueous sodium hydroxide to yield 3-hydroxy-5-methyl-1,6-naphthyridin-2(1H)-one ( 13 ). In the second scheme, Michael reaction of enamines of type 20 with methyl propiolate, followed by ring closure gave 5-acyl(aroyl)-6-methyl-2(1H)-pyridinones ( 21 ) which in turn were treated with Bredereck's reagent to produce 5-acyl(aroyl)-6-[2-(dimethylamino)ethenyl]-2(1H)-pyridinones ( 22 ). Treatment of 22 with ammonium acetate led to the formation of 1,6-naphthyridin-2(1H)-ones 23 .     

Synthesis of 1,2-diaryl-2-imidazolines

Polyphosphoric acid and N-aryl-N′-benzoylethylenediamines in a type of Bischler-Napieralski reaction afforded 1,2-diaryl-2-imidazolines in good yields, rather than the 2,3-dihydro-1H-[1,4]-benzodiazepines. Blocking of the amino nitrogen by a methyl or ethyl group, to avoid imidazoline formation, gave starting material rather than the expected dihydrobenzodiazepine. When p-tosyl was the blocking group, imidazoline was again the only product isolated. Analytical and spectroscopic data of several unreported 1,2-diaryl-2-imidazolines are presented.     

Synthesis and tautomerism of 2-(3,5-diaryl-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)-1-methyl-1H-benzimidazoles

The cyclocondensation of 1-methyl-2-phenacyl-1H-benzimidazole with aroylhydrazines yields 2-(3,5-diaryl-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)-1-methyl-1H-benzimidazoles. The ¹H NMR spectra indicate that these products display tautomerism. The more stable tautomers have structures containing electron-donor aryl substituents at C-5 and electron-withdrawing aryl substituents at C-3 of the pyrazole ring.     

1,6-Additionen an 3-Methyl-5-methyliden-2-(5H)-furanon-Derivate

1,6-Additions to 3-Methyl-5-methylidene-2(5H)-furanone Derivatives The anions of thiophenol, methyl malonate and malononitrile react with 3-methyl-5,6-dihydro-2 (4H)-benzofuranone ( 1c ) by the formation of the corresponding 1,6-addition products cis- 5c (63%), trans- 6 (42%) and trans- 7 (76%), respectively. Likewise, the reaction of 3-methyl-5-methylidene-2 (5H)-furanone ( 1b ) with thiophenol yields the 1,6-addition product 5b (66%), and with the sodium salt of methyl aceto-acetate the 1,6-addition product 8 (11%) and the dispiro-dilactone 9 (39%).     

Condensed pyridazines. Part III. Rearrangement and ring cyclization during the thermolysis of (z)-methyl 3-(6-azido-3-chloro-1-methyl-4-oxo-1,4-dihydropyridazin-5-yl)-2-methylacrylate

The thermolysis of (Z)-methyl 3-(6-azido-3-chloro-1-methyl-4-oxo-1,4-dihydropyridazin-5-yl)-2-methylacrylate ( II ) provides a new synthetic route to pyrrolo[2,3-c-]pyridazines, specifically, methyl 3-chloro-1,6-dimethyl-4-oxo-1,4-dihydro-7H-pyrrolo[2,3-c]pyridazine-5-carboxylate ( III ) in 91% yield. Treatment of III with ozone provides an entry into the novel pyridazino[3,4-d][1,3]oxazine ring system, specifically, 3-chloro-1,7-dimethylpyridazino[3,4-d][1,3]oxazine-4,5-dione ( IV ) in 73% yield. Compound IV is smoothly hydrolyzed into 6-acetylamino-3-chloro-1-methyl-4-oxo-1,4-dihydropyridazine-5-carboxylic acid ( V ) which is readily recyclized into IV by dehydration with acetic anhydride. Furthermore, IV undergoes a facile reductive ring opening reaction with sodium borohydride to give 3-chloro-6-ethylamino-1-methyl-4-oxo-1,4-dihydropyridazine-5-carboxylic acid ( VI ) in 95% yield.     

Preparation of N-aryl-2,4-diaminopentanes by the ring opening reaction of 1-aryl-3,4,5,6-tetrahydro-2-(1H)pyrimidinones

1-Aryl-3,4,5,6-tetrahydro-2-(1H)pyrimidinones (I) underwent reductive ring opening reaction with lithium aluminum hydride to afford N-aryl-2,4-diaminopentanes (II) in good yields. On the other hand, 3,4,5,6-tetrahydro-3,4,6-trimethyl-1-phenyl-2-(1H)-pyrimidinone (V) gave only cyclic diamine, 3,4,6-trimethyl-1-phenylhexahydropyrimidine (VI), in 60% yield.     

(4-甲基-1,3-二噻烷-2-亚甲基)-1,7-二芳基-1,6-二烯-3,5-二酮的合成

Synthesis of 3,3′-(1,6-hexanediyl)bis-pyrimidine derivatives and 3,4-dithia[6.6](1.3)pyrimidinophane

Several 3,3′-(1,6-hexanediyl)bis[6-methyl-2,4(1H,3H)-pyrimidinedione] derivatives ( 4a, 4b , and 4c ) were synthesized from 1,6-(hexanediyl)bis[6-methyl-2H-1,3-oxazine-2,4(3H)-dione] (3) . Compound 4c was converted to 6, which reacted with thiourea giving thiuronium salt 7 . 3,3′-(1,6-Hexanediyl)bis [1-(2-mercaptoethyl)-6-methyl-2,4(1H,3H)-pyrimidinedione] (9) was obtained by the hydrolysis of 7 , and then 9 was oxidized to 12,22-dimethyl-3,4-dithia[6.6] (1.3)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-2,4-dioxopyrimidinophane (10) .     

Synthesis of new pyrimido[4,5-d]pyrimidine derivatives from 5-acetyl-6-methyl-4-methylsulfanylpyrimidine-2(1H)-thiones and guanidine

Reactions of 5-acetyl-1-aryl(alkyl)-6-methyl-4-methylsulfanylpyrimidine-2(1H)-thiones (prepared from diacetylketene N,S-acetal) with guanidine afforded 3-alkyl- and 3-aryl-7-amino-5-methyl-4-methylidene-3,4-dihydropyrimido[4,5-d]pyrimidine-2(1H)-thiones. By-products of these reactions (5-acetyl-1-alkyl(aryl)-6-methyl-2-thiouracils) can also be obtained from the starting pyrimidinethiones and EtONa in EtOH. Pyrimidopyrimidinethiones can react with MeOH at the methylidene group in the presence of MeONa.

Cyclohexane-1,3-dione reacted with substituted benzaldehydes and N-arylacetoacetamides in the presence of ammonium acetate under solvent-free conditions (150–160°C, 10–20 min) to give the corresponding 4,N-diaryl-2-methyl-5-oxo-1,4,5,6,7,8-hexahydroquinoline-3-carboxamides. The product structure was determined by IR and ¹H NMR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry.     

Synthesis and biological evaluation of 5-methyl-4-phenyl thiazole derivatives as anticancer agents

Abstract

New N-(5-methyl-4-phenylthiazol-2-yl)-2-(substituted thio)acetamides were synthesized and studied for their anticancer activity. The title compounds were procured by reacting 2-chloro-N-(5-methyl-4-phenylthiazol-2-yl)acetamide with some mercapto derivatives. The structural elucidation of the compounds was performed by ¹H-NMR, ¹³C-NMR and LC-MS/MS spectral data and elemental analyses. The synthesized compounds were investigated for their antitumor activities against A549 human lung adenocarcinoma cells and NIH/3T3 mouse embryoblast cell line for determining their selective cytotoxicity. 2-[(1-methyl-1H-tetrazol-5-yl)thio]-N-(5-methyl-4-phenylthiazol-2-yl)acetamide (4c) showed high selectivity, and whose IC₅₀ value was determined as 23.30?±?0.35?µM and >1000?µM against A549 human lung adenocarcinoma cells and NIH/3T3 mouse embryoblast cell lines, respectively. 2-[(1-Methyl-1H-imidazol-2-yl)thio]-N-(5-methyl-4-phenyl thiazol-2-yl)acetamide (4a) and 2-[(1-Methyl-1H-tetrazol-5-yl)thio]-N-(5-methyl-4-phenyl thiazol-2-yl)acetamide (4c) exhibited the highest apoptosis percentage among those tested, but not as high as the standard, cisplatin.
