Purines, Pyrimidines, and Condensed Systems Based on them. 18. Reaction of 6,8-Dimethylpyrimido[4,5-c]pyridazine-5,7(6H,8H)dione N(2)-oxide with Alkylamines

Heating 6,8-dimethylpyrimido[4,5-c]pyridazine-5,7(6H,8H)-dione N₍₂₎-oxide (2) with piperidine or morpholine gave a moderate yield of 3-piperidino- and 3-morpholino-6,8-dimethylpyrimido[4,5-c]pyridazine-5,7(6H,8H)-diones (3a,b). Reaction of N-oxide (2) with ammonia and alkylamines in the presence of an oxidant led to formation of the 3-amino derivatives of 2 and the corresponding desoxy products 3. The latter were also obtained by an independent method by heating 3-chloro-6,8-dimethylpyrimido[4,5-c]pyridazine-5,7(6H,8H)-dione with alkylamines in butanol.

The nucleophilic iron complex Bu₄N[Fe(CO)₃(NO)] (TBA[Fe]) catalyzes the direct intramolecular amination of unactivated C(sp³)−H bonds in alkylaryl azides, which results in the formation of substituted indoline and tetrahydroquinoline derivatives.     

Angucycline antibiotics and its derivatives from marine-derived actinomycete Streptomyces sp. A6H

Vineomycin A₁ (1) and B₂ (2) were isolated from the culture broth of marine actinomycete Streptomyces sp. A6H. Five hydrolysis products were obtained by rational hydrolysis and methanolysis of the fermentation extract. Their structures were characterised as aquayamycin (3), vineomycinone B₂ (4), 9-C-_D-olivosyltetrangulol (5), 7-O-methylgaltamycinone (6) and vineomycinone B₂ methyl ester (7). In addition to these compounds, two ester derivatives, vineolactone A (8) and vineomycinone B₂ benzyl ester (9) of compound 4 were generated semisynthetically. Compound 6 is a new analogue of galtamycinone, while compounds 8 and 9 are new members of vineomycins. Cytotoxic activities and antimicrobial activities were determined for all compounds. The results indicate that only compound 1 showed significant activities with IC₅₀ value of 0.34 μM against H1975 and MIC value of 4 μg/mL against Staphylococcus aureus.

Interaction of N-(aryl)picolinamides with iridium. N–H and C–H bond activations

Reaction of N-(4-R-phenyl)picolinamide (R = OCH₃, CH₃, H, Cl and NO₂) with [Ir(PPh₃)₃Cl] in refluxing ethanol in the presence of a base (NEt₃) affords two yellow complexes (1-R and 2-R). The 1-R complexes contain an amide ligand coordinated to the metal center as a monoanionic bidentate N,N donor along with two triphenylphosphines, a chloride and a hydride. The 2-R complexes contain an amide ligand coordinated to the metal center as a monoanionic bidentate N,N donor along with two triphenylphosphines and two hydrides. Similar reaction of N-(naphthyl)picolinamide with [Ir(PPh₃)₃Cl] affords two organometallic complexes, 3 and 4. In complex 3 the amide ligand is coordinated to the metal center, via C–H activation of the naphthyl ring at the 8-position, as a dianionic tridentate N,N,C donor, along with two triphenylphosphines and one chloride. Complex 4 is similar to complex 3, except a hydride is bonded to iridium instead of the chloride. Structures of the 1-OCH₃, 2-Cl and 4 complexes have been determined by X-ray crystallography. All the complexes are diamagnetic, and show characteristic ¹H NMR signals and intense MLCT transitions in the visible region. Cyclic voltammetry on all the complexes shows a Ir^III–Ir^IV oxidation within 0.50–1.16 V vs. SCE and a reduction of the coordinated amide ligand within −1.02 to −1.25 V vs. SCE.     

ipso- and tele-Substitution in reactions of 3-chloro-1-ethyl-2-R-pyrazinium salts with C-nucleophiles

The reactions of 2,3-dichloro- and 3-chloro-1-ethyl-2-morpholinopyrazinium tetrafluoroborates with compounds containing the active methylene group were studied. The reactions with malonodinitrile and cyanoacetic ester afford products of ipso-substitution at position 2, while 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds produce products of tele-substitution of the Cl atom at the C(3) atom due to the attack of a nucleophile to position 6 of the pyrazine cycle.     

Scalable Photoelectrochemical Dehydrogenative Cross-Coupling of Heteroarenes with Aliphatic C−H Bonds

Heteroarenes are structural motifs found in many bioactive compounds and functional materials. Dehydrogenative cross-coupling of heteroarenes with aliphatic C−H bonds provides straightforward access to functionalized heteroarenes from readily available materials. Established methods employ stoichiometric chemical oxidants under conditions of heating or light irradiation. By merging electrochemistry and photochemistry, we have achieved efficient photoelectrochemical dehydrogenative cross-coupling of heteroarenes and C(sp³)−H donors through H₂ evolution, without the addition of metal catalysts or chemical oxidants. Mechanistically, the C(sp³)−H donor is converted to a nucleophilic carbon radical through H-atom transfer with chlorine atom, which is produced by light irradiation of anodically generated Cl₂ from Cl⁻. The carbon radical then undergoes radical substitution to the heteroarene to afford alkylated heteroarene products.     

Synthesis of 1,5-methano-2-benzazocines from 3-hydroxy-1,3-dimethyl-6-phenyl-4-piperidone

Reaction of 3e-hydroxy-1e,3a-dimethyl-6e-phenyl-4-piperidone with cyanoacetic ester affords 6e,8a-dimethyl-2-oxo-5e-phenyl-3-cyanofuro[2,3-c]piperidine, the epoxide of which undergoes intramolecular cyclization on treatment with 80% H₂SO₄, to give 1,2,5,6-tetrahydro-2-endo-4-dimethyl-1,5-methano-6-oxo-2-benzazocin-3-ene. It has been found that the latter is formed via the intermediate 3-hydroxy-6e,8a-dimethyl-2-oxo-5e-phenylfuro[2,3-c]piperidine.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 10, pp. 1371–1374, October, 1986.     

Condensed Isoquinolines. 16. Enamine Properties of Benzo[4,5]imidazo[1,2-b]isoquinolin-11(5H)-one in Terms of Its Acylation Reactions

A study has shown that the acylation of benzo[4,5]imidazol[1,2-b]isoquinolin-11(5H)-one occurs at N₍₅₎ or at C₍₆₎ depending on the nature of the acylating reagent and the reaction conditions. It was found that principally C-acylation takes place in the absence of base. The reaction with -halo-substituted carboxylic acid chlorides leads to the formation of C-acylated products which are converted to derivatives of the novel heterocyclic system 7H-2a,6b-diazabenzo[b]cyclopenta[l,m]fluorene-1,7(2H)-dione in the presence of base.     

Reactions of 3-nitro-2-trihalomethyl-2H-chromenes with C-nucleophiles. Synthesis of 3-nitro-4-(pyrazol-4-yl)-2-trihalomethylchromanes

The nucleophilic addition of acetylacetone and ethyl acetoacetate at the double bond of 3-nitro-2-trihalomethyl-2H-chromenes in the presence of NaH affords 2,3,4-trisubstituted chromanes containing the β-dicarbonyl fragment at position 4. The trans-trans configuration and the enol structure of the reaction products were confirmed by ¹H NMR spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction. Treatment of these compounds with hydrazine gives the corresponding 3-nitro-4-(pyrazol-4-yl)-2-trihalomethylchromanes. The reactions of 3-nitro-2-trihalomethyl-2H-chromenes with nitromethane and nitroethane in the presence of K₂CO₃ produce 1,3-dinitro derivatives of the chromane series.

Reaction of 2-(2-oxoethylidene)furan-3(2H)-ones with isopropylidenehydrazides of aromatic carboxylic acids: Synthesis of 3-hydroxy-3-(2-oxoethyl)-2,3-dihydropyridazin-4(1H)-ones

3-Hydroxy-3-(2-oxoethyl)-6-phenyl-2,3-dihydropyridazin-4(1H)-ones were obtained by the reaction of methyl 3-oxo-5-phenylfuran-2(3H)-ylideneacetate or 2-[2-(4-chlorophenyl)-2-oxoethylidene]-5-phenylfuran-3(2H)-one with benzoic or p-nitrobenzoic isopropylidenehydrazides. Equilibrium C₍₅₎H and C₍₅₎H₂ tautomeric forms were detected in solutions of the 4-chlorophenyl derivatives in DMSO-d₆. __________ Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 8, pp. 1156–1158, August, 2007.     

[DBU‐H]+ and H2o as effective catalyst form for 2,3‐dihydropyrido[2,3‐d]pyrimidin‐4(1H)‐ones: A DFT Study

DFT investigations are carried out to explore the effective catalyst forms of DBU and H₂O and the mechanism for the formation of 2,3‐dihydropyrido[2,3‐d]‐pyrimidin‐4(1H)‐ones. Three main pathways are disclosed under unassisted, water‐catalyzed, DBU and water cocatalyzed conditions, which involves concerted nucleophilic addition and H‐transfer, concerted intramolecular cyclization and H‐transfer, and Dimroth rearrangement to form the product. The results indicated that the DBU and water cocatalyzed pathway is the most favored one as compared to the rest two pathways. The water donates one H to DBU and accepts H from 2‐amino‐nicotinonitrile ( 1 ), forming [DBU‐H]⁺‐H₂O as effective catalyst form in the proton migration transition state rather than [DBU‐H]⁺‐OH^?. The hydrogen bond between [DBU‐H]⁺···H₂O··· 1 ^? decreases the activation barrier of the rate‐determining step. Our calculated results open a new insight for the green catalyst model of DBU‐H₂O. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Synthesis of new conducting poly(2,5-thienylene)s containing alkylhydroxy and alkylester side chains

The chemical synthesis of new electroconducting poly(2,5-thienylene)s containing alkylhydroxy and alkylester side-chains in the β-position of the thiophene rings is reported. The polymers were obtained by oxidative homopolymerization or copolymerization of 2-(3-thienyl)ethanol and 2-(3-thienyl)ethyl hexanoate by FeCl₃ in nitromethane. Structural characterization using elemental analysis, FT-IR and NMR spectroscopy shows that a partial nucleophilic substitution of the hydroxy group by chlorine and a partial cleavage of the ester function take place during polymerization. The presence of the ester function with a long aliphatic chain makes the polymers soluble and allows them to be processed into films. The polymers can be doped using a solution of FeCl₃ to the maximum electrical conductivity of 10⁻³ Ω⁻¹ cm⁻¹.

The mechanism has been elucidated by using DFT computational analyses, and involves a binuclear C?H bond‐activation process.

Purines, pyrimidines, and related fused systems. 21. Oxidative amination of 3-chloro-6,8-dimethylpyrimido[4,5-c]pyridazine-5,7(6H,8H)-dione

Oxidative amination of 3-chloro-6,8-dimethylpyrimido[4,5-c]pyridazine-5,7(6H,8H)-dione with primary alkylamines and potassium amide in liquid ammonia gives rise to the corresponding 4-amino derivatives as the major products.
