Condensed isoquinolines 24. Reaction of 6,11-dihydro-13H-isoquino[3,2-<Emphasis Type="Italic">b</Emphasis>]quinazolin-13-one with carbonyl compounds

The reaction of 6,11-dihydro-13H-isoquino[3,2-b]quinazolin-13-one with carbonyl compounds occurs at the C₍₆₎ and/or N₍₅₎ atoms depending on the nature of the reagent and the conditions. Condensation with aldehydes gives 6-arylidene-6,11-dihydro-13H-isoquino[3,2-b]quinazolin-13-ones. Acylation using acid anhydrides or acid chlorides gave 5-acyl-, 6-acyl-, and 5,6-diacyl-5,11-dihydro-13H-isoquino[3,2-b]quinazolin-13-ones depending again on the reaction conditions. Acylation using chloroacetyl chloride is accompanied by an intramolecular alkylation to give 7H,8H-2a, 7a-diaza-cyclopenta[f,g]naphthacene-1,7(2H)-dione. Phenyl isocyanate gave the derivative containing a CONHPh group at position 6. __________ Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 10, pp. 1509–1520, October, 2007.     

Condensed isoquinolines 26. Oxidation reactions of 6,11-dihydro-13H-isoquino-[3,2-<Emphasis Type="Italic">b</Emphasis>]quinazolin-13-one derivatives

Oxidation of the hydrobromide of 6,11-dihydro-13H-isoquino[3,2-b]quinazolin-13-one with dimethyl sulfoxide leads to 11-hydroxy-11H-isoquino[3,2-b]quinazoline-6,13-dione, and with hydrogen peroxide to the hydrobromide of 2-[(4-oxo-3,4-dihydro-2-quinazolinyl)carbonyl]benzoic acid. Salts of 5-and 6-alkyl-substituted isoquino[3,2-b]quinazolines are readily oxidized on boiling in nitrobenzene, which leads to aromatization of the isoquino[3,2-b]quinazoline system to 5-methyl-13-oxo-5H,13H-isoquino[ 3,2-b]quinazolinium perchlorate and 6-benzyl-13H-isoquino[3,2-b]quinazolin-13-one.

The direction of the reaction of anthranilic acids with o-bromomethylphenylacetonitrile upon fusion depends on the temperature and nature of the substituent in the anthranilic acid. The reaction may lead to three types of products: Derivatives of 7,12-dihydro-5H-isoquino[2,3-a]quinazolin-5-ones below 150°C and to 6,11-dihydro-13H-isoquino[3,2-b]quinazolin-13-one or derivatives of 6H,12H,17H-dibenzo[3,4:6,7][1,8]naphthyridino[1,8-ab]quinazoline-6,17-diones above 150°C depending on the nature of the substituent in the anthranilic acid. A study was carried out on the mechanism for the formation of 6H,12H,17H-dibenzo[3,4:6,7][1,8]naphthyridino[1,8-ab]quinazoline-6,17-diones, which permitted the preparation of 6-(4-methylphenyl)-6,12-dihydro-5H-isoquino[2,3-a]quinazolin-5-one. __________ Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 7, pp. 1059–1067, July, 2007.

We studied the dependence of the direction of conversions for salts of angular 7,12-dihydro-5H-isoquino[2,3-a]quinazolin-5-one on temperature and the nature of the anion: heating in high-boiling solvents leads either to aromatization of the heterosystem or to the rearrangement product, the linear 6,11-dihydro-13H-isoquino[3,2-b]quinazolin-13-one. When its hydrobromide is heated in high-boiling solvents, along with dimerization of the linear isomers, processes of oxidation at the positions 6 and 11 of the heterosystem occur. The dimer obtained in the reaction with morpholine is readily cleaved, with formation of a 6-(4-morpholyl)-substituted linear compound. __________ Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 3, pp. 430–439, March, 2007.

Heating 5,13-dihydro-11H-isoquino[3,2-b]quinazolin-11-one with isonicotinoyl chloride in pyridine gives 6-isonicotinoyl-5,13-dihydro-11H-isoquino[3,2-b]quinazolin-11-one. The 1-alkyl-4[(11-oxo-5,13-dihydro-11H-isoquino[3,2-b]quinazolin-6-yl)carbonyl]pyridinium iodides obtained by alkylation of 6-isonicotinoyl-5,13-dihydro-11H-isoquino[3,2-b]quinazolin-11-one using alkyl iodides in the presence of NaH are converted to 1′-R-spiro[7H,8H-2a,7a-diazacyclopenta[fg]naphthacene-2,4′(1′H)-pyridine]-1,8(2H)-diones.

Condensed isoquinolines 30. Acylation and alkylation of 5,13-dihydro-11H-isoquino-[3,2-<Emphasis Type="Italic">b</Emphasis>]quinazolin-11-one

It was shown that 6-acyl-5,13-dihydro-11H-isoquino[3,2-b]quinazolin-11-ones are formed when 5,13-dihydro-11H-isoquino[3,2-b]quinazolin-11-one is heated with the chlorides and anhydrides of carboxylic acids in the presence of bases (pyridine, NaOAc) while 5-acyl-5,13-dihydro-11H-isoquino[3,2-b]quinazolin-11-ones are formed in the presence of NaH. In the presence of NaH 6-acyl-5,13-dihydro-11H-isoquino[3,2-b]quinazolin-11-ones form the products from acylation and alkylation at position 5.

The alkylation of benzimidazo[1,2-b]isoquinolin-11(5H)-one has been studied. This occurs at N₍₅₎ or C₍₆₎ depending on the type of alkylating agent and the reaction conditions. It was shown that C₍₆₎ alkylation is effected in reactions with reactive alkyl halides. A repeat alkylation occurs preferentially at the same position. Interaction with o-xylylidene dibromide leads to spiro[benzimidazo[1,2-b]-isoquinolin-6,2'-indan]-11-one and 1,6-dihydro-11H-6a,11b-diazobenzo[b]benzo[5,6]cyclohepta[1,2,3-l,m]fluoren-11-one, which are derivatives of new heterocyclic systems.

It was found that 7,12-dihydro-5H-isoquino[2,3-a]quinazolin-5-ones can exist in the two tautomeric imine and enamine forms. The tautomeric equilibrium position depends on the nature and position of the substituent in the quinazoline fragment.

Treatment of 5-aryl-3-halo-12H-isoquino[2,3-a]quinazolines with electrophilic reagents readily forms their oxidation products. Acylation of the 3-chloro-5-phenyl-7,12-dihydroisoquino[2,3-a]quinazolinium perchlorate with Ac₂O in the presence of pyridine gave the product of electrophilic substitution at the C-7 atom 1-(3-chloro-5-phenyl-12H-isoquino[2,3-a]quinazolin-7-yl)-1-ethanone. By the same route phenacyl bromides react with the anhydro base 1 to give 5-aryl-7-(2-aryl-2-oxoethyl)-3-halo-isoquino[2,3-a]quinazolin-13-ium bromides. These salts readily react with nucleophilic reagents to form the products of addition at the C-12 atom. __________ Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 7, pp. 1044–1052, July, 2008.     

Reaction of diketene with cyanothioacetamide: A convenient and regioselective method for the preparation of new 4(1H)-pyridone derivatives

The reaction of diketene with cyanothioacetamide in dry dioxane in the presence of triethylamine gives triethylammonium 3-cyano-6-methyl-4-oxo-1,4-dihydro-2-pyridinethiolate. The regioselective S-alkylation of this thiolate is a convenient method for the preparation of substituted 4(1H)-pyridones and also derivatives of thiazolo[3,2-a]pyridine and thieno[2,3-b]pyridine. The action of 2-amino-1,1,3-tricyanopropene on this thiolate leads to its transformation into a new heterocyclic system, namely, 5H-pyrido[2′,3′:4,5]thiopyrano[2,3-b]pyridine; treatment with iodine yields the oxidation product, namely, the corresponding bis(2-pyridyl) disulfide. The structure of isopropyl (3-cyano-6-methyl-4-oxo-1,4-dihydro-2-pyridinyl)thioacetate was confirmed by X-ray diffraction structural analysis. __________ Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 5, pp. 716–725, May, 2007.

(E)-3-{5-[3-(Trifluoromethyl)phenyl]furan-2-yl}propenoic acid (I) was prepared from 5-[3-(tri-fluoromethyl)phenyl]furan-2-carbaldehyde under the Doebner’s conditions. The obtained acid was converted to the corresponding azide II, which was cyclized by heating in diphenyl ether to 2-[3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-4,5-dihydrofuro[3,2-c]pyridin-4-one (III). This compound was aromatized with phosphorus oxychloride to chloroderivative IV which was reduced with H₂NNH₂-Pd/C to the title compound V. 2-[3-(Trifluoromethyl)phenyl]furo[3,2-c]pyridin-5-oxide (VI) was synthesized by reaction of V with 3-chloroperoxybenzoic acid in dichloromethane. On treatment of VI with benzoyl chloride and potassium cyanide (Reissert-Henze reaction), corresponding 2-[3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]furo[3,2-c]pyridine-1-carbonitrile (VII) resulted. 5-Amino-2-[3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]furo[3,2-c]pyridin-5-ium-4-methylbenzene sulfonate (VIII) was prepared by direct N-amination of the title compound V with 1-[(aminooxy)sulfonyl]-4-methylbenzene in dichloromethane. Then, VIII was transformed to a non-isolated zwitterionic N-imid IX which afforded the corresponding furo[3,2-c]pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyridine carboxylic acid esters X, XI by 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reactions with dimethyl but-2-ynedionate (DBD) or ethyl propiolate.
