Novel condensed heterocyclic derivatives of benzofuran based on 2,5-dihydroxy-3,4,6,7tetrachloro-2, 3-dihydrobenzo[b]furan

We have synthesized novel condensed heterocyclic derivatives of benzofuran by reaction of 2,5-dihydroxy3, 4, 6, 7-tetrachloro-2, 3-dihydrobenzo[b]furan (I) with 4-phenyl- and 4-methylthiosemicarbazides, diphenylthiocarbazone, and also via cyclization of 2, 5-dihydroxy-4, 6, 7-trichloro-3-(N, N-diethyldithio-carbarnoyl)-2, 3dihydrobenzo[b]furan (obtained in the reaction of benzofuran I with sodium NN-dithiocarbamate).Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 4, pp. 463467, April 1996.     

Synthesis of 2,5-bis(2-aminothiazol-5-yl)-3,6-dichloro-1,4-benzoquinones

A series of 2-(2-aminothiazol-5-yl)-3,6-dichloro-5-diethylaminoethenyl-1,4-benzoquinones was synthesized from 2-(2-aminothiazol-5-yl)-3,5,6-trichloro-1,4-benzoquinones using acetaldehyde and diethylamine in toluene solution. Refluxing these compounds with substituted thioureas in acetonitrile in the presence of hydrochloric acid gives the corresponding 2,5-bis(2-aminothiazol-5-yl)-3,6-dichlorohydroquinones which can be oxidized to the target products with ferric chloride in aqueous DMF.Riga Technical University, Riga LV-1048, LatviaTranslated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 6, pp. 835–839, June, 2000     

Methods for the Synthesis of Heteroaryl-substituted 1,4-Benzo- and 1,4-Naphthoquinones. (Review)

Methods for the synthesis of heteroaryl-substituted 1,4-benzo- and 1,4-naphthoquinones with a C-C bond between the heterocycle and quinone fragments are reviewed. __________ Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 6, pp. 803–833, June, 2005.     

Synthesis of [b]-Fused Benzo[d]furano Heterocycles

In the reactions of 3,4,6,7-tetrachloro-2,5-dihydroxy-2,3-dihydrobenzo[b]furan with 4-methyl and 4-phenyl thiosemicarbazides, dithizone and sodium N,N-diethyldithiocarbamate the [b]fused benzo[d]furano heterocycles have been synthesized.     

Synthesis of 2-(β-Hetarylaminoethyl)-3,5,6-trichloro-1,4-benzoquinones

4,6,7-Trichloro-2-hetarylamino-5-hydroxy-2,3-dihydrobenzo[b]furans have been prepared from 4,6,7-trichloro-2,5-dihydroxy-2,3-dihydrobenzo[b]furan and hetarylamines. Reductive opening of the dihydrobenzofuran ring in these compounds gave 3,5,6-trichloro-2-(-hetarylaminoethyl)hydroquinones. The latter could be oxidised to the target 3,5,6-trichloro-2-(-hetarylaminoethyl)-1,4-benzoquinones which are novel 1,4-benzoquinone derivatives with intramolecular charge transfer.     

Oxidative Recyclization of 4,6,7-Trichloro-5-hydroxy-2-(2-pyrimidylamino)-2,3-dihydrobenzo[b]furan

When 4,6,7-trichloro-5-hydroxy-2-(2-pyrimidylamino)- 2,3-dihydrobenzo[b]furan reacted with phenyliodoso diacetate, an unexpected oxidative recyclization was observed to give 3-(3,5,6-trichloro-1,4-benzoquinon-2-yl)imidazo[1,2-a]pyrimidine. 2-[N-2-(3,5,6-Trichloro-1,4-benzoquinon-2-yl)ethenylamino]pyrimidine is the intermediate product in the conversion.
