Asymmetric conjugate reductions with samarium diiodide: asymmetric synthesis of (2S,3R)- and (2S,3S)-[2-2H,3-2H]-leucine-(S)-phenylalanine dipeptides and (2S,3R)-[2-(2)H,3-2H]-phenylalanine methyl ester

The highly diastereoselective samarium diiodide and D(2)O-promoted conjugate reduction of homochiral (E)- and (Z)-benzylidene and isobutylidene diketopiperazines (E)-5,7 and (Z)-6,8 has been demonstrated. This methodology allows the asymmetric synthesis of methyl (2S,3R)-dideuteriophenylalanine 27 in > or = 95% de and >98% ee, and (2S,3R)- or (2S,3S)-dideuterioleucine-(S)-phenylalanine dipeptides 37 and 38 in moderate de, 66% and 74% respectively. A mechanism is proposed to account for this process.     

Synthesis of (2S,3S)-[3-(2)H1]-4-methyleneglutamic acid and (2S,3R)-[2,3-(2)H2]-4-methyleneglutamic acid

(2S,3S)-[3-(2)H1]-4-Methyleneglutamic acid 1a and (2S,3R)-[2,3-(2)H2]-4-methyleneglutamic acid 1b have been synthesised for use in biosynthetic and metabolic studies.     

5-(1-Alkenyl)-1, 3, 4-oxadiazol-2(3H)-one

3-(2-alkenoyl)-thiocarbazic acid O-methyl esters 1 are desulfurated by bromine and the unknown intermediates are transformed by alkali to 5-(1-alkenyl)-1, 3, 4-oxadiazol-2(3H)-ones ( 2 ). This type of oxadiazolone substitution is not realizable by the common ring closure of hydrazides with phosgene due to pyrazolidinone ring closure of unsaturated acids with hydrazine.     

Syntheses of (R) [4-2H2] 2-Amino-3-Butenoic Acid (Vinylglycine) and (R) [4-2H2, 5-2H3] Methionine

Treatment of (R) methionine sulfoxide with NaOD led to exchange of the C-4 methylene and C-5 methyl protons; exchange of the chiral C-2 proton did not occur. Reducation with mercaptoacetic acid gave (R)-[4-²H₂, 5-²H₃] methionine. The latter was converted into its carbobenzyloxy methyl ester sulfoxide, pyrolysis of which followed by deprotection yielded (R)-[4-²H₂] vinylglcine as the hydrochloride.     

2-(3-ethyl-2,2-dimethylcyclobutyl-methyl)-4(3H)-quinazolinones

Anthranilic acid and its 5-bromo and 4-chloro derivatives react with pinanoic and pinonoic acid chlorides to give the corresponding N-acyl derivatives. The pinanoyl derivatives give the corresponding 2-(3-ethyl-2,2-dimethyl-cyclobutylmethyl)-4-(3H)-quinazolinones when refluxed in formamide. Pinanoylanthranilic acid reacts with dicyclohexylcarbodiimide to give 2-(3-ethyl-2,2-dimethylcyclobutylmethyl)benz-3,1-oxazin-4(H)-one and subsequently with hydrazine hydrate to give 3-amino-2-(3-ethyl-2,2-dimethylcyclobutylmethyl)-4(3H)-quinazolinone. Refluxing of the pinanoyl- and pinonoylanthranilic acids with acetic anhydride gives acetylanthranilic acid, and pinonoylanthranilic acid gives 4(3H)-quinazolinone with formamide.Riga Technical University, Riga LV-1658, Latvia; e-mail: marina@osi.lanet.lv.

Lithiation of 3-(Acylamino)-2-unsubstituted-, 3-(Acylamino)-2-ethyl-, and 3-(Acylamino)-2-propyl-4(3H)-quinazolinones: Convenient Syntheses of More Complex Quinazolinones(1)

3-(Pivaloylamino)- and 3-(acetylamino)-4(3H)-quinazolinones react with alkyllithium reagents to give 1,2-addition products in very good yields. Lithiation takes place with LDA and is regioselective at position 2. The lithium reagents thus obtained react with a variety of electrophiles to give the corresponding substituted derivatives in very good yields. Reactions of the lithium reagents with iodine give oxidatively dimerized cyclic structures. 3-(Pivaloylamino)- and 3-(acetylamino)-2-ethyl-4(3H)-quinazolinones and 3-(pivaloylamino)- and 3-(acetylamino)-2-propyl-4(3H)-quinazolinones are lithiated at the benzylic position with LDA. The lithium reagents so produced also react with a variety of electrophiles to give the corresponding 2-substituted-4(3H)-quinazolinone derivatives in very good yields. However, lithiation of 3-(acylamino)-2-(1-methylethyl)-4(3H)-quinazolinones was unsuccessful, as were lithiations of compounds having a diacetylamino group at position 3. The amide groups have been cleaved in good yield under basic or acidic conditions from some of the products to provide access to the free amino compounds.     

The preparation of 5-(2-aminophenyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazole-2(3H)-one and its rearrangement to 3-amino-2,4(1H,3H)-quinazolinedione

When anthranilic acid hydrazide is reacted with 1,1-carbonyldiimidazole inTHF 5-(2-aminophenyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazole-2(3H)-one (4) is formed. It can also be prepared from 1-o-aminobenzoyl-4,4-dimethylsemicarbazide which eliminates methylamine when boiled withDMF. On heating the 5-(2-aminophenyl)-1,3,4-oxiadiazole above its melting point it rearranges to 3-amino-2,4(1H,3H)-quinazolinedione (5).

Die Darstellung von 5-(2-Aminophenyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2(3H)-on und dessen Umlagerung in 3-Amino-2,4(1H,3H)-chinazolindion

Zusammenfassung Bei der Reaktion von Anthranilsäurehydrazid mit 1,1-Carbonyldiimidazol inTHF wird 5-(2-Aminophenyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2(3H)-on (4) gebildet. Dieses kann auch aus 1-o-Aminobenzoyl-4,4-dimethylsemicarbazid dargestellt werden, welches beim Kochen mitDMF Methylamin eliminiert. Beim Erhitzen von 5-(2-Aminophenyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazol über seinen Schmelzpunkt tritt Umlagerung zu 3-Amino-2,4(1H,3H)-chinazolindion (5) ein.

     

Synthesis of derivatives of 1-(2-carboxyethyl)-(1H,3H)-quinazoline-2,4-dione

The action of alkylating agents on 1-(2-carboxyethyl)-(1H,3H)-quinazoline-2,4-dione was utilized to synthesize corresponding esters. The hydrolysis and hydrazinolysis of the last were accomplished. Polyphosphoric acid effected the conversion of 1-(2-carboxyethyl)quinazolinedione to 1,3,7-trioxopyrido[1,2,3-k,j]quinazoline.Kaunas Technological University, Kaunas LT 3028.
