Synthesis and luminescent properties and theoretical investigation on electronic structure of nitrile-based 2-pyridone molecules

3-Cyano-4,6-dimethyl-2-pyridone and 3-cyano-4-methyl-6-phenyl-2-pyridone were synthesized effectively by the reaction of readily available 1,3-diketone and malononitrile directly and in good yield. Upon photoexcitation, 3-cyano-4-methyl-6-phenyl-2-pyridone in ethanol shows strong blue emission. The ground- and excited-state geometries, charge distributions, and excitation energies of 2-pyridone derivatives were evaluated by ab initio calculations. Organic light-emitting diodes (OLED) made using 3-cyano-4-methyl-6-phenyl-2-pyridone as dopant showed blue light emission with a maximum electroluminescence (EL) emission at around 456 nm.     

The reactions of 4-dicyanomethylene-2-phenyl-4H-1-benzopyran and some benzologs with nucleophiles

4-Dicyanomethylene-2-phenyl-4H-1-benzopyran (1) reacts with primary amines under mild conditions to give 4-imino-3-alkyl-5-alkylimino-2-phenyl-3,4-dihydro-5H-[1]benzopyrano[3,4-c]-pyridine derivatives which, in turn, are hydrolyzed with acid to 4-imino-3-alkyl-2-phenyl-3,4-dihydro-5H-[1]benzopyrano[3,4-c]pyridin-5-ones. When more vigorous conditions are employed for the reactions of 1 with primary amines, Dimroth rearrangements take place and the products are derivatives of 4-alkyl- (or aryl)amino-5-alkyl- (or aryl)imino-2-phenyl-5H-[1]benzopyrano-[3,4-c]pyridine. The latter compounds are hydrolyzed by acid to the corresponding 5-pyridone derivatives. The reaction of 1 with piperidine gives 2-phenyl-4-piperidyl-5H-[1]benzopyrano-[3,4-c]pyridin-5-one. Sodium methoxide reacts with 1 to give 3-cyano-2-methoxy-4-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-6-phenylpyridine. Two benzologs of 1 have been allowed to react with primary and secondary amines and the products are analogous to those obtained from 1 .

Design, synthesis and anti-fibrosis activity study of N₁-substituted phenylhydroquinolinone derivatives

Pirfenidone (5-methyl-1-phenyl-2(1H)-pyridone, PFD) is a small-molecule compound acting on multiple targets involved in pathological fibrogenesis and is effective to increase the survival of patients with fibrosis, such as idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. However, PFD is not active enough, requiring a high daily dose. In this study, to keep the multiple target profiles, N?-substituted phenylhydroquinolinone derivatives, which retain the 1-phenyl-2(1H)-pyridone scaffold were designed and synthesized. The preliminary anti-fibrosis activities for all target compounds were evaluated on a NIH3T3 fibroblast cell line using MTT assay methods. Most compounds showed significant inhibition on NIH3T3 cell proliferation with a IC?? range of 0.09-26 mM, among which 5-hydroxy-1-(4'-bromophenyl)-5,6,7,8-tetrahydroquinolin-2(1H)-one (6j) displayed 13 times higher potency (IC?? = 0.3 mM) than that of AKF-PD (IC?? = 4.2 mM). These results suggest that N?-substituted phenylhydroquinolinone is a promising scaffold which can be applied for further investigation and for developing novel anti-fibrosis agents.

REACTION OF SCHIFF BASE OF THIOHYDRAZIDES WITH P(NR2)3

Abstract

Three pathways were observed in the reactions of Schiff bases of Thiohydrazides with P(NR₂)₃. (a) MeS-R₂N exchange: MeS-C([dbnd]S)-NHN[dbnd]CHPh (1) reacted with P(NR₂)₃ led to new Schiff bases, R₂N-C([dbnd]S)-NHN[dbnd]CH = Ph (2). (b) Cleavage of C[dbnd]S bond and the formation of P[dbnd]S bond: H₂N-C([dbnd]S)-NHN[dbnd]CH = Ph (3) reacted with P(NR₂)₃ gave rise to the thiophosphoric amide. (Et₂N)₂P([dbnd]S)-NH-CH = N-N[dbnd]CH-Ph (4). (c) Formation of thiadiazole and triazole: Schiff bases 2a and H₂N(MeS)C = N-N[dbnd]CH-Ph (6) reacted with P(NR₂)₃ respectively and produced 5-dimethylamino-2-phenyl-2,3-(2H)-1,3,4-thiadiazole (5) and 5-methylthio-2-phenyl-2,3-(2H)-1,3,4-triazole (7).     

Acid hydrolysis of N-methyl derivatives of 4-phenyl-5-oxo-4,5-dehydroindeno[1,2-b]pyridine

The splitting of the dihydropyridine ring of N-methyl-substituted 4-phenyl-5-oxo-4,5-dihydroindeno[1,2-b]pyridine in an acid medium takes place at the C-N bond. During the splitting of 1,2-dimethyl-4-phenyl-4,5-dihydroindeno[1,2-b]-pyridine, 4-phenyl-4-(indane-1,3-dion-2-yl)butan-2-one is formed, while in the case of the 3-ethoxycarbonyl derivative of indenopyridine, together with the Michael retroreaction leading to 2-benzylideneindane-1,3-dione, a recyclization of the intermediate product into a derivative of dihydroindeno-2-pyridone takes place.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 10, 1363–1366, October, 1986.
