The Synthesis of Some New Quinazolone Derivatives of Potential Biological Activity

The refluxing of 3-amino-6,8-dibromo-2-thioxo-2,3-dihydro-1H-quinazolin-4-one (5) with ethyl chloroformate and/or ethyl chloroacetate afforded compounds 6 and 7 . The reaction of 5 with ethyl bromobutyrate, chloroacetyl chloride, phenacyl chloride, and phenyl isocyanate yielded compounds 8 , 9 , 11 , and 12 . The coupling of 5 with (2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-α -D-gluopyranosyl)bromide( ABG ) in DMF at r.t. gave 3-amino-6,8-dibromo-2-(2′,3′,4′,6′-tetra-O-acetyl-β-D-glucopyranosyl)thioxo-2,3-dihydro-1H-quinazolin-4-one ( 14 ). The deblocking of 14 in sodium methoxide gave 5 . 3-Amino-6,8-dibromo-2-methylthio-3H-quinazolin-4-one ( 16 ) was prepared by stirring 5 with methyl iodide in methanol. The treatment of 16 with hydrazine hydrate afforded 4 . The condensation of 4 with aldehydes furnished 3,5-dibromo-2-arylaminobenzoic acid hydrazide ( 18a–c ). The refluxing of 18a with acetic anhydride gave 3-(benzylideneamino)-6,8-dibromo-2-methyl-3H-quinazolin-4-one ( 19 ). Hydrazones 20a–f were prepared by the condensation of 4 with pentoses and/or hexoses. The acetylation of ( 20a–f ) with acetic anhydride gave the acetyl derivatives 21a–f .
