Pyrrolo[3,2-e][1,4]diazepin-2-one synthesis: a head-to-head comparison of soluble versus insoluble supports

Aryldiazepin-2-ones are known as "privileged structures", because they bind to multiple receptor types with high affinity. Toward the development of a novel class of aryldiazepin-2-one scaffolds, the synthesis of pyrrolo[3,2-e][1,4]diazepin-2-ones on a support was explored starting from N-(PhF)-4-hydroxyproline and featuring an acid-catalyzed Pictet-Spengler reaction to form the diazepine ring. Three supports [Wang resin, tetraarylphosphonium (TAP) soluble support, and Merrifield resin] were examined in the synthesis of the heterocycle and exhibited different advantages and disadvantages. Wang resin proved effective for exploratory optimization of the synthesis by identification of intermediates after resin cleavage under mild conditions; however, the acidic conditions of the Pictet-Spengler reaction caused premature loss of resin-bound material. Direct monitoring of reactions by TLC, RP-HPLC-MS, and in certain cases NMR spectroscopy was possible with the TAP support, which facilitated purification of intermediates by precipitation; however, incomplete precipitation of material led to overall yields lower than those from solid-phase approaches on resin. Merrifield resin proved stable to the conditions for the synthesis of the pyrrolo[3,2-e][1,4]diazepin-2-one targets and would be amenable to "split-and-mix" chemistry; however, relatively harsh conditions were necessary for final product cleavage. Perspective for the application of different solid-phase approaches in heterocycle library synthesis was thus obtained by demonstration of the respective utility of the three supports for preparation of pyrrolo[3,2-e][1,4]diazepin-2-one.     

3-acyl-1,5-benzodiazepines in the reactions of 5,5-dimethyl-2-formylcyclohexane-1,3-dione with certain 1,2-diaminobenzenes

Reaction of 5,5-dimethyl-2-formylcyclohexane-1,3-dione with 4-methyl-, 4-benzoyl-, and 4-nitro-1,2-diaminobenzenes gave the corresponding 2-(2-amino-4-methylphenylaminomethylene)-, 2-(2-amino-5-benzoylphenylaminomethylene)-, and 2-(2-amino-5-nitrophenylaminomethylene)-5,5-dimethylcyclohexane-1,3-diones. When treated with hydrochloric acid, they cyclize to 7-methyl-, 8-benzoyl-, and 8-nitro-3,3-dimethyl-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-dibenzo[b,e][1,4]diazepinon hydrochlorides. Under hydrolytic conditions the salts of 3,3,7-trimethyl-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-dibenzo[b,e][1,4]diazepinone and 3,3-dimethyl-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-dibenzo[b,e][1,4]diazepinone undergo the C₁₁−N₁₀ bond cleavage to give N-(2-aminophenyl)- and N-(2-amino-5-methylphenyl)-substituted 3-amino-2-formyl-5,5-dimethylcyclohex-2-enones. Ring opening of the hydrochlorides of 8-benzoyl-, and 3,3-dimethyl-8-nitro-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-dibenzo[b,e][1,4]diazepinones occurs at the C−N₅ bond and gives the starting enamines.

Diastereoselective Pictet-Spengler approach for the synthesis of pyrrolo[3,2-e][1,4]diazepin-2-one peptide turn mimics

Sixteen pyrrolo[3,2- e][1,4]diazepin-2-ones 1 were synthesized in 4-5 steps and 5-48% overall yields from 4-oxoproline 8 by a route featuring a diastereoselective Pictet-Spengler reaction to close the seven-membered diazepinone ring. Crystallographic analysis of pyrrolo[3,2- e][1,4]diazepin-2-one 1b by X-ray diffraction demonstrated that the alpha-amino acid residue adopted dihedral angle geometry similar to an ideal gamma-turn, illustrating the potential for employing these novel heterocycles as peptide turn mimics.

We have studied this thione, 5-(2-pyridyl)- and 5-(4-pyridyl)-5,6-dihydro[1,3]dithiolo[4,5-b][1,4]dithiine-2-thiones by mass spectroscopy and also IR, UV, ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectra. We have determined the crystal and molecular structure of 5-(2-pyridyl)-5,6-dihydro[1,3]dithiolo[4,5-b][1,4]dithiine-2-thione.__________Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 3, pp. 429–434, March, 2005.     

The reaction of 2-hetarylacetonitriles with heterocyclic haloaldehydes

Intramolecular cyclization of these compounds gives 15-oxo-15H-benzo[6,7][1,8]naphthyridino[2,1-b]quinazoline-6-carbonitriles, 1-aryl-3-methyl-11-oxo-1,11-dihydropyrazolo[4′,3′:5,6]pyrido[2,1-b]quinazoline-5-carbonitriles, and 1-aryl-3-methyl-1H-benzo[4,5]imidazo[1,2-a]pyrazolo[4,3-e]pyridine-5-carbonitriles.     

Reaction of 4,5-diaminopyrimidine and ethyl acetoacetate: Synthesis and chemistry of isomeric dihydropyrimido[4,5-b][1,4] diazepinones

Depending upon reaction conditions, 4,5-diaminopyrimidine and acetoacetic ester gave a variety of condensation products, including the two isomeric dihydropyrimido[4,5-b][1,4]-diazepinones. Under conditions leading to bicyclic products, the formation of 1,5-dihydro-4-methyl-2H-pyrimido[4,5-b][1,4]diazepin-2-one ( 2 ) was strongly favored. The isomeric 3,5-dihydro-2-methyl-4H-4-one compound ( 4 ) was best obtained by cyclization of ethyl 3-(4-amino-5-pyrimidylamino)crotonate ( 3 ) under base catalysis. Thermal rearrangement of 2 and 4 proceeded, in each instance, with loss of the isopropenyl moiety and gave 8-purinone. Compound 4 underwent ring contraction under the influence of alkoxide to yield a product which was shown to be the 7-isopropenyl-8-purinone ( 6 ).     

Retinoid X receptor-antagonistic diazepinylbenzoic acids

Several dibenzodiazepine derivatives were identified as novel retinoid X receptor (RXR) antagonists on the basis of inhibitory activity on retinoid-induced cell differentiation of human promyelocytic leukemia cells HL-60 and transactivation assay using retinoic acid receptors (RARs) and RXRs in COS-1 cells. 4-(5H-2,3-(2,5-Dimethyl-2,5-hexano)-5-n- propyldibenzo[b,e][1,4]diazepin-11-yl)benzoic acid (HX603, 6c) is an N-n-propyl derivative of an RXR pan-agonist HX600 (6a), and exhibited RXR-selective antagonistic activity. Similar RXR-antagonistic activities were observed with 4-(5H-2,3-(2,5-dimethyl-2,5-hexano)-5-methyl- 8-nitrodibenzo[b,e][1,4]diazepin-11-yl)benzoic acid (HX531, 7a) and 4-(5H-10,11-dihydro-5,10-dimethyl-2,3-(2,5-dimethyl- 2,5-hexano)-dibenzo[b,e][1,4]diazepin-11-yl)benzoic acid (HX711, 8b), which also inhibited transactivation of RARs induced by an RAR agonist, Am80. These compounds inhibited HL-60 cell differentiation induced by the combination of a low concentration of the retinoid agonist Am80 with an RXR agonist (a retinoid synergist, HX600). These results indicated that HX603 (6c), and the related RXR antagonists inhibit the activation of RAR-RXR heterodimers as well as RXR homodimers, which is a distinct characteristic different from that of the known RXR antagonist, LG100754 (9).

Synthesis of novel 3-substituted-5H-benzo[5,6][1, 4]thiazino[3,2-e][1,2,4]triazines and their 15-lipoxygenase inhibitory activity

A new group of 3-substituted-5H-benzo[5,6][1,4]thiazino[3,2-e][1,2,4]triazines was designed, synthesized and evaluated as inhibitors of 15-lipoxygenase (15-LO), and the results were compared with those of standard ligand 4-methyl-2-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)pyrimido[4,5-b][1,4]benzothiazine (4-MMPB). Among the newly designed ligands, compound 9e showed the best IC₅₀ of 15-LO inhibition (IC₅₀ = 38 µM). The docking calculations were performed in MOE software based on the function of force-field scoring, in order to study the interaction of these new compounds and standard ligand with 15-LO. The docking study implied that these ligands have hydrogen bond interaction with the residue of active site of 15-LO.
