Nichtsteroide Entzündungshemmer, 4 Umlagerungen von Heterocyclen, 11 Ketenoide Umlagerung und Oxidation von 2-Pyronen zu 1,4-Naphthochinon-5-alkansäuren

Fused 2-pyrones4, obtained by the thermal condensation of ketones1 with reactive malonates2, rearrange above 200°C to yield condensed dihydroxynaphthalines5. The latter compounds can be oxidized to give 3-hydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone-5-alkanoic acids. The reaction of ketone8 with magic malonates2 or chlorocarbonyl ketene9 affords the pyrones11 in low yields. The 2-pyrones11 could not be rearranged to13; a possible explanation for this behaviour is presented.

Herrn Prof. emer. Dr.E. Ziegler, der vor 30 Jahren erstmals die ketenoide Reaktionsweise von Malonsäurederivaten beschrieb [16], in Dankbarkeit und Freundschaft gewidmet.

Pyridazines with hetero-atom substituents in position 3 and 5, part VII. Halogenation of 2-aryl-5-hydroxy-pyridazin-3(2H)-ones in position 4

Summary The reaction of 2-ary-5-hydroxy-3(2H)-pyridazinones (1a, b) with bromine yields the 4-bromo derivatives2a, b and with sulfuryl chloride the chloro compounds3a, b are obtained. However, with an excess of chlorine or sulfuryl chloride the 4,4-dichloro-pyridazine-dione4 is produced. Hydrolysis of4 leads to5, and in a similar manner the open chain hydrazone8 is obtained from the carboxylic acid6.

Tandem Pummerer-Diels-Alder Reaction Sequence. A Novel Cascade Process for the Preparation of 1-Arylnaphthalene Lignans

The alpha-thiocarbocation generated from the Pummerer reaction of an o-benzoyl-substituted sulfoxide is intercepted by the adjacent keto group to produce an alpha-thio isobenzofuran as a transient intermediate which undergoes a subsequent Diels-Alder cycloaddition with added dienophiles. Acid-catalyzed ring-opening of the cycloadduct followed by aromatization gave an arylnaphthalene derivative. With acetylenic dienophiles, the tandem cyclization-cycloaddition sequence provided tetralones which result from a pinacol-type rearrangement of the primary cycloadducts. The versatility of the approach is highlighted through the synthesis of taiwanin C and E and justicidin E. The alpha-thiocarbocation generated from the Pummerer reaction of benzo[1,3]dioxol-5-yl-[6-[(ethylsulfinyl)methyl]benzo[1,3]dioxol-5-yl)methanone is intercepted by the adjacent keto group to produce an alpha-thioisobenzofuran as a transient intermediate which undergoes a subsequent Diels-Alder cycloaddition with dimethyl maleate. The initially formed Diels-Alder cycloadduct was readily converted to 5-benzo[1,3]dioxol-5-yl-8-(ethylthio)naphtho[2,3-d][1,3]dioxole-6,7-dicarboxylic acid dimethyl ester by loss of water on treatment with p-toluenesulfonic acid. Desulfurization of the thionaphthalene with Ra/Ni followed by hydrolysis of the less hindered methyl ester afforded 5-benzo[1,3]dioxol-5-ylnaphtho[2,3-d][1,3]dioxole-6,7-dicarboxylic acid 6-methyl ester which was further transformed into taiwanin C and justicidin E in good yield. Oxidation of the initial Diels-Alder cycloadduct with NaIO(4) in the presence of RuCl(3) followed by extrusion of ethyl sulfinate gave a naphthol derivative which can be converted into taiwanin E.     

Microwave accelerated aza-Claisen rearrangements

The microwave-assisted thermal aza-Claisen rearrangement of allylic imidates and thiocyanates to the corresponding amides and isothiocyanates is investigated. Significant accelerations of the rearrangement of allylic imidates to amides and of allylic thiocyanates to isothiocyanates in comparison with standard thermal reactions is observed.     

Rapid parallel synthesis of polymer-bound enones utilizing microwave-assisted solid-phase chemistry

A microwave-assisted parallel solid-phase synthesis of a collection of 21 polymer-bound enones has been developed. The two-step protocol involves initial high-speed acetoacetylation of polystyrene Wang resin with a selection of seven common beta-ketoesters. When microwave flash heating at 170 degreesC was employed, complete conversions were achieved within 1-10 min, a significant improvement over the conventional thermal method, which takes several hours for completion. Significant rate enhancements were also observed for the subsequent microwave-heated Knoevenagel condensations with a second set of 13 different aldehydes. Reaction times were reduced to 30-60 min at 125 degreesC in the microwave protocol compared to 1-2 days using conventional thermal conditions. Kinetic comparison studies indicate that the observed rate enhancements can be attributed to the rapid direct heating of the solvent (1,2-dichlorobenzene) by microwaves rather than to any specific microwave effect. All reactions have been carried out in commercially available parallel reactors with on-line temperature measurement, designed specifically for use in multimode microwave cavities.     

Aktive malonester als synthons für heterocyclen: Eine methode zur herstellung von 4-hydroxy-2(1H)-pyridonen

4-Hydroxy-2(1H)-pyridones 3 can be obtained in excellent yields from azomethines 1 with trichlorophenylmalonates 2 . The variation of the substituents in positions 1, 3, 5 or 6, respectively is possible over a wide range. In this manner the 5,6-fused-pyridones 5, 7 can also be obtained. The synthesis of 1-unsubstituted pyridones via debenzylation of 1-benzyl-pyridones 3a,b is described. The chlorination is found to yield isomer 2-and 4-chloro pyridones 8 and 9 and the dichloropyridine 10.     

Benzimidazole condensed ring systems. 5. Studies on the Synthesis of Pyrimido[1,6-α]benzimidazole-1,3(2H,5H)-diones

The reaction of ethyl 1H-benzimidazole-2-acetate (1) with methyl or ethyl isocyantes 2a,b resulted in excellent yields of the respective 2-methyl- or 2-ethylpyrimido[1,6-a]benzimidazole-1,3(2H,5H)-diones 3a,b , while the reaction of 1 with phenyl isocyanate (2c) gave, unexpectedly, ethyl 2-(1-phenylcarbamoyl-1H,3H-benzimidazol-2-ylidene)-2-phenylcarbamoylacetate (4). Alkylation of 3 with trimethyl or triethyl phosphates 5a,b led to the 5-methyl or 5-ethyl derivatives 6a-d . Chlorination of 6 with sulfuryl chloride afforded the 4-chloro derivatives 7a-d.     

Thermolytic ring closure reactions of 4‐azido‐3‐phenylsulfanyl‐and 4‐azido‐3‐phenylsulfonyl‐2‐quinolones to 12H‐quinolino‐[3,4‐b][1,4]benzothiazin‐6(5H)‐ones

4‐Hydroxy‐3‐phenylsulfanyl‐2‐quinolones 2 and 4‐hydroxy‐3‐sulfonyl‐2‐quinolones 7 , which are readily accessible from 4‐hydroxy‐2‐quinolones 1 and diphenyldisulfide or thiophenol, can be converted to 4‐azido‐3‐phenylsulfanyl‐2‐quinolones 10 or 4‐azido‐3‐phenylsulfonyl‐2‐quinolones 12 via 4‐chloro‐3‐phenylsul‐fanyl‐2‐quinolones 5 or 4‐chloro‐3‐phenylsulfonyl‐2‐quinolones 9 , respectively. Thermolysis of the azides 10 and 12 results in a cyclization reaction to give quinolino[3,4‐b][1,4]benzothiazinone 11 and quino‐lino[3,4‐b][1,4]benzothiazinone dioxides 13 , respectively. The conditions for thermolysis have been studied by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC).     

Synthesis and reactions of 11H‐benzo[b]pyrano[3,2‐f]indolizines an pyrrolo[3,2,1‐ij]pyrano[3,2‐c]quinolines

2‐Methyl‐3H‐indoles 1 cyclize with two equivalents of ethyl malonate 2 to form 4‐hydroxy‐11H‐benzo[b]pyrano[3,2‐f]indolizin‐2,5‐diones 3, whereas 2‐mefhyl‐2,3‐dihydro‐1H‐indoles 9 give under similar conditions regioisomer 8‐hydroxy‐5‐methyl‐4,5‐dihydro‐pyrrolo[3,2,1‐ij]pyrano[3,2‐c]quinolin‐7,10‐diones 10 . The pyrone rings of 3 and 9 can be cleaved either by alkaline hydrolysis to give 7‐acetyl‐8‐hydroxy‐10H‐pyrido[1,2‐a]indol‐6‐ones 4 or 5‐acetyl‐6‐hydroxy‐2‐methyl‐1,2‐dihydro‐4H‐pyrrolo‐[3,2,1‐ij]quinolin‐4‐ones 11 , respectively. Chlorination of 3 and 9 with sulfurylchloride gives under subsequent ring opening 7‐dichloroacetyl‐8‐hydroxy‐10H‐pyrido[1,2‐a]indol‐6‐ones 5 or 5‐dichloracetyl‐6‐hydroxy‐2‐methyl‐1,2‐dihydro‐4H‐pyrrolo[3,2,1‐ij]quinolin‐4‐ones 12 . The dichloroacetyl group of 5 can be reduced with zinc to 7‐acetyl‐8‐hydroxy‐10H‐pyrido[1,2‐a]indol‐6‐ones 7. Treatment of the acetyl compounds 4, 7 and 11 with 90% sulfuric acid cleaves the acetyl group and yields 8‐hydroxy‐10H‐pyrido[1,2‐a]‐indol‐6‐ones 6 and 8 , and 6‐hydroxy‐2‐methyl‐1,2‐dihydro‐4H‐pyrrolo[3,2,1‐ij]quinolin‐4‐ones 13 . Reaction of dichloroacetyl compounds 12 with sodium azide yields 6‐hydroxy‐2‐methyl‐5‐(1H‐tetrazol‐5‐ylcarbonyl)‐1,2‐dihydro‐4H‐pyrrolo[3,2,1‐ij]quinolin‐4‐ones 14 via intermediate geminal diazides.
