A new synthesis of 2,3-dihydrofuro[2,3-b], [2,3-c] and [3,2-c]quinolines

A new synthesis of three isomeric dihydrofuroquinolines is described. This route via ortholithiation of O-quinolyl carbamates is considerably more effective than that which proceeds via lithiation of alkoxyquinolines.     

A New synthesis of 4,5,6,7-tetrahydrofuro[2,3-c]pyridines and furo[2,3-c]pyrrolidines

New syntheses of 4,5,6,7-tetrahydrofuro[2,3-c]pyridines and furo[2,3-c]pyrrolidine derivatives, starting from furan-3-carboxaldehyde, are reported.     

Povarov reactions involving 3-aminocoumarins: synthesis of 1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyrido[2,3-c]coumarins and pyrido[2,3-c]coumarins

Condensation of 3-aminocoumarin (5) with 4-nitrobenzaldehyde (8) afforded a 2-azadiene (9), which reacted with various electron-rich alkenes (10 examples) in the presence of Yb(OTf)3 to afford 1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyrido[2,3-c]coumarins. Yields were generally good, but the diastereomeric ratios were highly variable. The products arose through a formal [4 + 2] cycloaddition (inverse electron demand Diels-Alder reaction) followed by tautomerization. As such, these are examples of the Povarov reaction. A range of 1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyrido[2,3-c]coumarins was then synthesized using a three-component version of this reaction, which involves in situ formation of the 2-azadiene component. Some of these products were converted into the corresponding pyrido[2,3-c]coumarins upon treatment with various oxidants, the most effective of which proved to be nitrous gases.     

Ring expansion of trans-divinyl ethylene oxide by oxonium ylide [2,3] sigmatropic rearrangement

Oxonium ylide [2,3] sigmatropic rearrangement of trans-divinyl ethylene oxide is observed upon its exposure to ethyl or t-butyl diazoacetate in the presence of either Rh(II) or Cu(II) catalysts to produce cis-6-vinyl-3,6-dihydropyran-2-carboxylates.

RuCl3/SnCl2 mediated synthesis of pyrrolo[2,3-c]carbazoles and consequent preparation of indolo[2,3-c]carbazoles

A simple method for the synthesis of pyrrolo[2,3-c]carbazoles from N-alkylated-3-aminocarbazole derivatives and ethylene glycol has been developed via heteroannulation reaction using RuCl₃/SnCl₂ system. Moreover indolo[2,3-c]carbazoles were prepared from various pyrrolo[2,3-c]carbazoles in good yields.     

Facile synthesis of novel [1,3]oxazino[2,3-c][1,2,4] thiadiazin-12-one derivatives

Several novel fused heterocyclic systems which have rings containing N/O or N/S have been synthesized through a facile one-pot method by the treatment of substituted 2-(benzo[d]thiazol-2-yl)phenol and cyanogen bromide in THF and NEt₃. This one-pot method contains tough ring-opening of thiazole, special intermolecular rearrangement and ring-closing reactions. The newly synthesized compounds were characterized by HR-MS, ¹H-NMR, ¹³C-NMR spectral data and DFT calculation analysis. 2a was also determined by X-ray crystallographic analysis.     

The synthesis of monomethoxy[1]benzothieno[2,3-c]quinolines

A series of monomethoxy[1]benzothieno[2,3-c]quinolines 24-28 were prepared by photocylization of the appropriate 3-chloro-N-phenylbenzo[b]thiophene-2-carboxamides 9–13 to [1]benzothieno[2,3-c]quinolin-6(5H)-ones 14-18 followed by chlorination to 6-chloro[1]benzothieno[2,3-c]quinolines 19-23 then dechlorination resulting in the title compounds except for 25 which was achieved by direct reduction of 15 . Reaction of 24-28 with methyl iodide provided the corresponding N-methyl quaternary salts 29-33 . Also, conversion of 4-meth-oxy[1]benzothieno[2,3-c]quinolin-6(5H)-one 16 to 4-methoxy-6-methylthio[1]benzothieno[2,3-c]quinoline 35 and 4,6-dimethoxy[1]benzothieno[2,3-c]quinoline 36 is described.     

The synthesis of [1]benzothieno[2,3-c]quinolines, [1]benzothieno[2,3-c][1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]quinoline,and [1]benzothieno[2,3-c]tetrazolo[1,5-a]quinoline

Photocyclization of 3-chloro-N-phenylbenzo[b]thiophene-2-carboxamide 10 afforded [1]benzothieno[2,3-c]-quinolin-6(5H)-one 11 which was chlorinated to 6-chloro[1]benzothieno[2,3-c]quinoline 12 followed by dechlorination to give [1]benzothieno[2,3-c]quinoline 5 . A series of 6-substituted alkoxy and thioalkoxy[1]benzothieno[2,3-c]quinoline derivatives were prepared along with the N-methyl quaternary salt 13 of 5 . 6-Chloro[1]-benzothieno[2,3-c]quinoline 12 was converted into 6-hydrazino[1]benzothieno[2,3-c]quinoline 23 which upon treatment with formic acid yielded [1]benzothieno[2,3-c][1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]quinoline 6 . Treatment of 23 with nitrous acid resulted in [1]benzothieno[2,3-c]tetrazolo[1,5-a]quinoline 7 . Compounds 6 and 7 are novel heterocyclic ring systems.     

Condensed pyridine bases synthesis of some benzo[b]furo[2,3-c]-, benzo[b]- thieno[2,3-c]-, and benzo[b]selenopheno[2,3-c]-quinolines

Summary Condensation of benzo[b]furan-3(2H-one, benzo[b]thiophen-3(2H)-one and benzo[b]selenophen-3(2H)-one with dimedone gives 2-(3-heteryl)dimedones. Acylation of the latter leads to the corresponding tetracyclic pyrylium salts, from which condensed quinolines are obtained. Some condensed quinoline derivatives are obtained by reaction of 1-oxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroheterene[2,3-c]quinolines with sodium borohydride, hydrazine, and hydroxylamine.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 3, pp. 321–326, March, 1994.     

Diastereoselective rhodium(II)-catalyzed sulfonium ylide formation-[2,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement reaction of chiral non-racemic allylic sulfides

The tandem sulfonium ylide formation-[2,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement reaction of chiral non-racemic secondary allylic sulfides, (E)-9 and (Z)-10, is found to proceed with high diastereocontrol. The C-5 stereocenter bearing the sulfide group is essential for high diastereoselectivity in the reaction. Transition state conformers are proposed to explain the high diastereoselectivity in the formation of the diastereomeric products, 18a and 18b. The method is applied to the synthesis of (R)-4-(4-chlorophenyl)-2-butyrolactone. Modest enantioselectivity (63% ee) was achieved and this is attributed to partial racemization during the formation of the secondary allylic sulfide 22.     

Convenient synthesis of spiro[indoline-3,4'-pyrano[2,3-c]pyrazole] and spiro[acenaphthyl-3,4'-pyrano[2,3-c]pyrazoles] via fourcomponent reaction

The base promoted four-component reaction of hydrated hydrazine, dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate, isatines and malononitrile (ethyl cycanoacetate) in ethanol afforded polysubstituted spiro[indoline-3,4‘-pyrano[2,3-c]pyrazoles] and spiro[acenaphthyl-3,4-pyrano[2,3-c]pyrazoles]     

A novel crystalline tetrazolo-azido isomer pair: Pyrido[ 2,3-e] tetrazolo[5,1-c]-as-triazine and 3-azidopyrido[2,3-e]-as-triazine; the synthesis of tetrazolo[5,1-c] benzo-as-triazine and pyrido[2,3-e]-s-triazolo[3,4-c] -as-triazine

The deoxygenated derivative of 3-azidobenzo-as-triazine 1-oxide (II) exists in solution predominantly as 3-azidobenzo-as-triazine form (IVa) but in the crystalline state as tetrazolo[5,]-c]-benzo-as-triazine (IVb), a new fused heteroaromatie ring system. With the pyrido[2,3-e]-as-triazine derivatives, however, both 3-azidopyrido[2,3-e]-as-triazine (X) and pyrido[2,3-e] tetra-zolo[5,1-e]-as-triazine (XI) can be isolated in crystalline form, and these are interconvertible. Another new ring system, the pyrido[2,3-e] triazolo [3,4-c]-as-triazine (XVII) and its derivatives has also been synthesized.     

New approach for the synthesis of 3H-pyrrolo[2,3-c]isoquinoline derivatives

Synthesis of new 2,3-diaryl-3H-pyrrolo[2,3-c]isoquinoline derivatives has been elaborated starting from isoquinoline-3-amine. Buchwald–Hartwig arylation and subsequent iodination in position 4 afforded 3-arylamino-4-iodoisoquinolines. These compounds were subjected to Sonogashira cross-coupling reactions with some selected acetylenes, and the resulting coupled products underwent cyclization in the presence of tetrabutylammonium fluoride to give title derivatives.     

The synthesis of ω-dialkylaminoalkylaminopyrazino[2,3-d]-, pyrido[2,3-d]-, imidazo[4,5-c]- and imidazo[4,5-d]pyridazines

The synthesis of 5-chloro-8-(ω-dialkylaminoalkylamino)pyrazino[2,3-d]pyridazine (II) proceeded smoothly when 5,8-dichloropyrazino[2,3-d]pyridazine (I) was allowed to react with ω-dialkylaminoalkylamines. Similarly, the reaction of 5,8-dichloropyrido[2,3-d]pyridazine (IV) with ω-dialkylaminoalkylamines gave the two expected products 8-chloro-5-(ω-dialkylaminoalkylamino)pyrido[2,3-d]pyridazine (V) and 5-chloro-8-(ω-dialkylaminoalkylamino)pyrido[2,3-d]pyridazine (VI) in a 2:3 ratio. 4,7-Dichloroimidazo[4,5-d]pyridazine (XII) was found to be much less reactive towards nucleophilic substitutions and more vigorous conditions resulted in disubstituted products (XIII). 7-Chloroimidazo[4,5-c]pyridazine (XVIII) was also found to be much less reactive towards nucleophilic substitution. In both of these cases one of the imidazole nitrogen atoms was blocked by a tetrahydropyranyl group which increased the reactivities and led to the desired monosubstituted products XVII from XII and in the latter case the expected products (XIX).
