Reaction of α,α-, α,α′-dihalothiones with 8-mercaptoquinolinium halides as a route to tetrahydro-1,4-thiazinoquinolinium halides

The reaction of 8-mercaptoquinolinium bromide with 1,3-dibromopropane-2-thione or 3,3-dibromobutane-2-thione in methanol gave the 2-bromomethyl-2-mercaptotetrahydro-1,4-thiazino[2,3,3,4-i,j]quinolinium and 3-bromo-2-mercapto-2,3-dimethyltetrahydro-1,4-thiazino[2,3,3,4-i,j]quinolinium bromides which readily exchanged the Br⁻ anion for ClO ₄ ⁻ upon treatment with sodium perchlorate in methanol. Oxidation of the 3-bromo-2-mercapto-2,3-dimethyltetrahydro-1,4-thiazino[2,3,3,4-i,j]-quinolinium bromide by selenium dioxide gave 2,2-dithiobis(3-bromo-2,3-dimethyltetrahydro-1,4-thiazino[2,3,3,4-i,j]quinolinium) bromide. __________ Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 11, pp. 1720–1723, November, 2006.

The interaction of 3-allylsulfanyl-5H-[1,2,4]triazino[5,6-b]indole with iodine led to 1-iodomethyl-1,2-dihydro[1,3]thiazolo[2',3':3,4][1,2,4]triazino[5,6-b]indol-11-ium pentaiodide with an angular structure, on the basis of which 1-iodomethyl-1,2-dihydro[1,3]thiazolo-, 1-methylidene-1,2-di-hydro[1,3]thiazolo, and 1-methyl[1,3]thiazolo derivatives were obtained.

Synthesis and cytotoxic activity of benzopyranoxanthone analogues of benz.

Condensation of 3-hydroxy-2-naphthalenecarboxylic acid with phloroglucinol afforded 1,3-dihydroxy-12H-benzo[b]xanthen-12-one. Construction of an additional dimethylpyran ring onto this skeleton, by alkylation with 3-chloro-3-methyl-1-butyne followed by Claisen rearrangement, gave access to a series of benzo[b]pyrano[2,3-i]xanthen-6-ones and benzo[b]pyrano[3,2-h]xanthen-7-ones related to psorospermine and benzo[b]acronycine. In contrast with what is observed in the pyridoacridone and benzopyridoacridone series, the linear benzo[b]-pyrano[2,3-i]xanthen-6-one derivatives were more potent than their angular benzo[b]pyrano[3,2-h]xanthen-7-one isomers. cis-3,4-Diacetoxy-5-methoxy-2,2-dimethyl-3,4-dihydro-2H,6H-benzo[b]pyrano[2,3-i]xanthen-6-one, the most active among the new compounds, was more potent than acronycine in inhibiting the proliferation of L1210 murine leukemia cells.     

Synthesis of Fluorescent Naphthoquinolizines via Intramolecular Houben–Hoesch Reaction

The repertoire of synthetic methods leading to aza‐analogues of polycyclic aromatic heterocycles has been enlarged by the discovery of the rearrangement of 10‐substituted benzo[h]quinolines into compounds bearing an azonia‐pyrene moiety. Acid‐mediated intramolecular cyclization of derivatives bearing ‐CH₂CN and ‐CH₂CO₂Et groups led to compounds bearing a 5‐substituted benzo[de]pyrido[3,2,1‐ij]quinolinium core. Advanced photophysical studies including time‐correlated single photon counting (TCSPC) and transient absorption spectroscopy of 5‐aminobenzo[de]pyrido[3,2,1‐ij]quinolin‐4‐ium salt and 5H‐benzo[de]pyrido[3,2,1‐ij]quinolin‐5‐one showed their promising optical properties such as high fluorescence quantum yields (37–59 %), which was almost independent of the solvent, and high tenability of the absorption band position upon changing the solvent. The benzo[de]pyrido[3,2,1‐ij]quinolinium salt selectively stains nucleic acids (in the nucleus and mitochondria) in eukaryotic cells.

A versatile synthesis of benzothieno-annelated 1,2-dihydropyridine and 1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyridine derivatives: the effect of the structure of benzothieno-annelated pyridinium salts on their reduction by sodium borohydride

Abstract  

Benzothieno[2,3-c]pyridinium and benzothieno[2,3-c]quinolinium salts were synthesized either by quaternization of benzothieno[2,3-c]pyridines, or recyclization of benzothieno[2,3-c]pyrylium salts with primary amines. One-pot synthesis of benzothieno[3,2-g]indolizinium salts from 1-(3-chloropropyl)-benzothieno[2,3-c]pyrylium included consequent recyclization of the pyrylium core by ammonia into a pyridine intermediate and its further intramolecular quaternization reaction. Depending on the structure of benzothieno-annelated pyridinium salts, their reaction with sodium borohydride in methanol results in reduction of the pyridine core into tetrahydropyridine or dihydropyridine derivatives. Whereas reduction of benzothieno[2,3-c]pyridinium and benzothieno[3,2-g]indolizinium salts readily yields benzothieno-annelated tetrahydropyridines as a complex mixture of stereoisomers, reduction of benzothieno[2,3-c]quinolinium salts results in dihydropyridine derivatives. The structure of the latter, in particular, was confirmed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis.     

Study of the Products of Iodocyclization of 4-Allyl-5-phenyl-1,2,4-triazole-3-thione

The interaction of 4-allyl-5-phenyl-1,2,4-triazole-3-thione with iodine proceeds with the formation of a mixture of 6-iodomethyl-3-phenyl-5,6-dihydrothiazolo[2,3-c]-1,2,4-triazole and 6-iodo-3-phenyl-6,7-dihydro-5H-1,2,4-triazolo[3,4-b]-1,3-thiazine. The structures of the cyclization products obtained were established on the basis of the ¹H NMR spectra of their dehydroiodinated derivatives. 6-Methyl-3-phenylthiazolo[2,3-c]-1,2,4-triazole, 3-phenyl-5H-1,2,4-triazolo[3,4-b]-1,3-thiazine, and 3-phenyl-7H-1,2,4-triazolo[3,4-b]-1,3-thiazine are formed on eliminating HI from the cyclization products.

Synthesis and cytotoxic activity of benzo[a]pyrano[3,2-h] and [2,3-i]xanthone analogues of psorospermine, acronycine, and benzo[a]acronycine

Condensation of 2-hydroxy-1-naphthalenecarboxylic acid with phloroglucinol afforded 9,11-dihydroxy-12H-benzo[a]xanthen-12-one (6). Construction of an additional dimethylpyran ring onto this skeleton, by alkylation with 3-chloro-3-methyl-1-butyne followed by Claisen rearrangement, gave access to 6-hydroxy-3,3-dimethyl-3H,7H-benzo[a]pyrano[3,2-h]xanthen-7-one (12) and 5-hydroxy-2,2-dimethyl-2H,6H-benzo[a]pyrano[2,3-i]xanthen-6-one (13), which were methylated into 6-methoxy-3,3-dimethyl-3H,7H-benzo[a]pyrano[3,2-h]xanthen-7-one (14) and 5-methoxy-2,2-dimethyl-2H,6H-benzo[a]pyrano[2,3-i]xanthen-6-one (15), respectively. Osmium tetroxide oxidation of 14 and 15 gave the corresponding (+/-)-cis-diols 16 and 17, which afforded the corresponding esters 18-21 upon acylation. Similarly, condensation of 2-hydroxy-1-naphthalenecarboxylic acid with 3,5-dimethoxyaniline gave 11-amino-9-methoxy-12H-benzo[a]xanthen-12-one (23) which was converted into 11-amino-9-hydroxy-12H-benzo[a]xanthen-12-one (24) upon treatment with hydrogen bromide in acetic acid. Alkylation with 3-chloro-3-methyl-1-butyne followed by Claisen rearrangement afforded 6-amino-3,3-dimethyl-3H,7H-benzo[a]pyrano[3,2-h]xanthen-7-one (25) and 5-amino-2,2-dimethyl-2H,6H-benzo[a]pyrano[2,3-i]xanthen-6-one (26). The new benzopyranoxanthone derivatives only displayed marginal antiproliferative activity when tested against L1210 and KB-3-1 cell lines. The only compounds found significantly active against L1210 cell line, 16 and 20, belong to the benzo[a]pyrano[3,2-h]xanthen-7-one series, which possess a pyran ring fused angularly onto the xanthone basic core.
