A study of the reactions of 2-aryl-4-hydroxy-6H-1,3-thiazin-6-ones with chromone-3-carboxaldehydes

Reaction of 3-formylchromones with 2-aryl-4-hydroxy-6H-1,3-thiazin-6-ones in the presence of pyridine leads to formation of a mixture of novel N-thioaroyl-5-hydroxy-2H,5H-pyrano[3,2-с]chromen-2-one-3-carboxamides and 2-aryl-5-(4′-oxochromen-3′-yl)-6,7-dihydro-4H,5H-pyrano[2,3-d][1,3]thiazine-4,7-diones. The yields of these compounds clearly depend on the nature of the substituent on the 3-formylchromone and on the reaction conditions.     

Synthesis of 8-R-9c-alkyl-1-aryl-2-benzyl-1-hydroxy-1,2,9b,9c-tetrahydro-5-oxa-2-aza-cyclopenta[2,3]cyclopropa[1,2-a]naphthalene-3,4-diones and reaction thereof with acetic anhydride

The reaction of zinc enolates synthesized from 1-aryl-2,2-dibromoalkanones and zinc with 6-R-2-oxochromene-3-carboxylic acid N-benzylamide affords 8-R-9c-alkyl-1-aryl-2-benzyl-1-hydroxy-1,2,9b,9c-tetrahydro-5-oxa-2-aza-cyclopenta[2,3]cyclopropa[1,2-a]naphthalene-3,4-diones. Acylation of these compounds is accompanied by an unexpected rearrangement producing a sole geometrical isomer of 4′-alkyl-5′-aryl-1′-benzyl-3,4,2′,3′-tetrahydro-2,2′-dioxospiro[chroman-3,3′-pyrrol]-4-yl acetates.     

A four-step domino Knoevenagel–hetero-Diels–Alder reaction

A new, catalyst-free, domino Knoevenagel–hetero-Diels–Alder elimination oxidation reaction is reported. 5-Aryl-2H,6H-chromeno[4′,3′:4,5]thiopyrano[2,3-d][1,3]thiazol-2-ones are formed in moderate to good yields via reaction of 2-(3-aryl-3-chloro-2-propenyloxy)benzaldehydes with 4-thioxo-1,3-thiazolidin-2-one.     

Reactions of bromine-containing organozinc compounds derived from α,α-dibromo ketones with 2-arylmethylideneindan-1,3-diones and 5-arylmethylidene-2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxane-4,6-diones

Bromine-containing organozinc compounds generated from 1,1-dibromo-3,3-dimethylbutan-2-one reacted with 2-arylmethylideneindan-1,3-diones and 5-arylmethylidene-2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxane-4,6-diones to give 3-aryl-2-(2,2-dimethylpropanoyl)spiro[cyclopropane-1,2′-indan]-1′,3′-diones and 1-aryl-6,6-dimethyl-2-(2,2-dimethylpropanoyl)-5,7-dioxaspiro[2.5]octan-4,8-diones, respectively. Reactions of 2-arylmethylideneindan-1,3-diones with bromine-containing zinc enolates derived from 1-aryl-2,2-dibromopropan-1-ones and 2,2-dibromo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalen-1-one resulted in the formation of 2-aroyl-3-aryl-2-methylspiro-[cyclopropane-1,2′-indan]-1′,3′-diones and 2,3: 8,9-dibenzo-12-phenyldispiro[4.0.5.1]dodecane-1,4,7-trione, respectively.     

Synthesis of 3-(trifluoromethyl)indeno[2,1-c]pyran-1,9-diones from 4-aryl-3-carbethoxy-6-(trifluoromethyl)-2-pyrones and their reaction with sodium azide leading to new carbostyril derivatives

Treatment of ethyl 4-aryl-6-(trifluoromethyl)-2-oxo-2H-pyran-3-carboxylates, prepared from 4,4,4-trifluorobutane-1,3-diones, PCl₅ and sodium diethyl malonate, with sulfuric acid afforded the intramolecular Friedel–Crafts acylation products, 3-(trifluoromethyl)indeno[2,1-c]pyran-1,9-diones, from which 2-(trifluoromethyl)-6H-pyrano[3,4-c]quinoline-4,5-diones were obtained via the Schmidt reaction in moderate yields. The latter reacted with sodium azide to give 2-oxo-4-(5-trifluoromethyl-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)-1,2-dihydroquinoline-3-carboxylic acids in good yields.     

Thermolysis of 6-Aryl-1,5-diazabicyclo[3.1.0]hexanes in the Presence of N-Arylmaleimides

Heating of 6-aryl-1,5-diazabicyclo[3.1.0]hexanes in the presence of N-arylmaleimides gives rise to 2,9-diarylperhydropyrazolo[1,2-a]pyrrolo[3,4-c]pyrazole-1,3-diones. It is presumed that thermal cleavage of the C-N bond in the diaziridine fragment of the 6-aryl-1,5-diazabicyclo[3.1.0]hexanes results in formation of labile azomethinimines that react with N-arylmaleimides to afford the products of 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition. The rate of accumulation thereof depends only on the character of substituents in the aromatic ring of the 1,5-diazabicyclo[3.1.0]hexanes and is independent of maleimide. The thermal isomerization of 6-aryl-1,5-diazabicyclo[3.1.0]hexanes without 1,3-dipolarophiles yields the corresponding 2-pyrazolines.     

Reactions of 1,3-dihydrobenzo[<Emphasis Type="Italic">c</Emphasis>]thiophene 2,2-dioxides with electrophilic agents

Nitration, sulfonation, and iodination of 1,3-dihydrobenzo[c]thiophene 2,2-dioxide and its derivatives with electron-releasing and electron-withdrawing substituents were studied. Electrophilic substitution in 1,3-dihydrobenzo[c]thiophene 2,2-dioxide occurs at position 5. The presence of electron-withdrawing substituents in this position hinders further substitution, while electron-releasing substituents in positions 5 and 6 direct an electrophile to position 4.__________Published in Russian in Izvestiya Akademii Nauk.

First nucleophilic addition of acetylide to 1,3-diketonate anions: reaction of 1-aryl-4,4,4-trifluorobutane-1,3-diones with sodium acetylide

The nucleophilic addition of sodium acetylide to 1,3-diketonates derived from 1-aryl-4,4,4-trifluorobutane-1,3-diones is reported. Tertiary 1,4-alkynediols containing CF₃ and aroylmethyl groups are synthesized. 5,5′-Diaryl-3,3′-bis(trifluoromethyl)-2,2′-bifurans are prepared via a novel double cyclization of these alkynediols.     

A regioselective synthesis of dispiro[oxindole-cyclohexanone]pyrrolidines and dispiro[oxindole-hexahydroindazole]pyrrolidines by sequential 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition and annulation through a microwave induced solvent-free approach

The 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of an azomethine ylide, generated from isatin and benzylamine by a 1,5-prototopic shift route with various p-substituted 2,6-bis(arylmethylidene)cyclohexanones under different conditions, proceeded regioselectively to give novel dispiroheterocycles. The product on subsequent annulation with hydrazine hydrate afforded 4-aryl-5-phenyl(spiro[2.3″]oxindole)3′-aryl-3′,3a′,4′,5′,6′,7′-hexahydro-2H-indazolospiro[7′.3]pyrrolidines in good yield.     

Synthesis of bioactive 1-alkyl-1H-naphtho[2,3-d][1,2,3]triazole-4,9-diones and N-aryl-2-aminomethylene-1,3-indanediones using water as the solvent

Through a [2+3] cycloaddition reaction, a new environmentally friendly method was developed to enable the synthesis of bioactive 1-alkyl-1H-naphtho[2,3-d][1,2,3]triazole-4,9-diones and N-aryl-2-aminomethylene-1,3-indanediones using water as the solvent with good yields and minimum requirement of purification. This new green synthetic protocol is simple and suitable for scale-up synthesis.     

Diastereoselective synthesis of 6-functionalized 4-aryl-1,3-oxazinan-2-ones and their application in the synthesis of 3-aryl-1,3-aminoalcohols and 6-arylpiperidine-2,4-diones

Halocyclocarbamation of benzyl N-(1-phenyl-3-butenyl)carbamates afforded 6-functionalized 4-aryl-1,3-oxazinan-2-ones with moderate to excellent diastereoselectivity depending on the N-substituent. Importantly, in contrast to reported cyclocarbamations of homoallylic carbamates, which are generally trans-diastereoselective, cyclization of N-unsubstituted Cbz-protected homoallylamines led to cis-1,3-oxazinan-2-ones, predominantly. The use of N-benzylated and in situ prepared N-silylated derivatives resulted however in trans-selectivity. Transition states are proposed to explain the stereochemical influence of the N-substituent on the cyclocarbamations. The functionalized 1,3-oxazinan-2-ones could be further elaborated towards biologically or synthetically important 6-arylpiperidine-2,4-diones and 3-aryl-1,3-aminoalcohols.     

A new synthetic procedure to spiro[cyclohexane-1,3′-indoline]-2′,4-diones

A new synthetic pathway to spiro[cyclohexane-1,3′-indoline]-2′,4-diones was found starting from 3-chloromethylene-2-indolones 1 and Danishefsky's diene 2. Their synthesis consists of several steps involving the formation of the cycloadducts, the 6-chloro-4-trimethylsilyloxy-2-methoxyspiro[cyclohex-3-en-1,3′-indolin]-2′-one derivatives, transformed into spiro[cyclohexa-2,5-dien-1,3′-indoline]-2′,4-diones via 6-chloro-spiro[cyclohex-2-en-1,3′-indoline]-2′,4-dione intermediates. The reduction of spiro[cyclohexa-2,5-dien-1,3′-indoline]-2′,4-diones gave spiro[cyclohexane-1,3′-indoline]-2′,4-diones 7. Using a ‘one pot reaction’, starting from 1 and 2, compounds 7 were obtained in satisfactory overall yield.     

Synthesis of novel heterocyclic fused 1,3-diazabuta-1,3-dienes and accompanying rearrangements in their cycloaddition reactions with ketenes: synthesis of heterocyclic fused pyrimidinone derivatives

The reactions of 1,3-diazabuta-1,3-dienes 1 with 2-aminothiophenol have been shown to result in excellent yields of N-benzothiazol-2-yl-N′-aryl benzamidines 2. Their regioselective [4+2] cycloadditions with various ketenes are shown to yield novel benzothiazolo pyrimidinones 4. A similar and convenient protocol for the synthesis of bisthiosubstituted 1,3-diazabuta-1,3-dienes 8 and 9 and interesting rearrangements accompanying their [4+2] cycloadditions with a number of ketenes are described.     

Substituted chromones in [3+2] cycloadditions with nonstabilized azomethine ylides: synthesis of 1-benzopyrano[2,3-c]pyrrolidines and 1-benzopyrano[2,3-c:3,4-c′]dipyrrolidines

Chromones bearing electron-withdrawing substituents at the 2- or 3-position react with nonstabilized azomethine ylides to produce 1-benzopyrano[2,3-c]pyrrolidines in good yields. Reactions of 3-cyanochromones proceed diastereoselectively to give 1-benzopyrano[2,3-c]pyrrolidines and tetrahydro-1H-spiro[chromeno[2,3-c]pyrrol-9,5′-oxazolidine]-9a-carbonitriles, depending on the reactant ratio, as a result of a 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of the azomethine ylide at the double bond and carbonyl group of the chromone system. The latter undergoes demethylenation and recyclization into a novel hexahydrochromeno[2,3-c:3,4-c′]dipyrrole tetracyclic system on heating with hydrochloric acid.     

Acid-induced rearrangement of cycloadducts from N-aryl itaconimides and 1,3-diphenylisobenzofuran

Treatment of several Diels–Alder adducts of N-aryl itaconimides and 1,3-diphenylisobenzofuran with a strong acid triggers a skeletal rearrangement resulting in 2-aryl-6,10b-diphenylbenzo[h]isoquinoline-1,3(2H,10bH)-diones.     

Coupling and cycloaddition of ynamides: homo- and Negishi coupling of tosylynamides and intramolecular [4+2] cycloaddition of N-(o-ethynyl)phenyl ynamides and arylynamides

N,N′-aryl- and N,N′-alkyl-buta-1,3-diyne-1,4-ditosylamides have been synthesized for the first time, in good to excellent yields, by copper-catalyzed dimerization of the corresponding N-aryl or N-alkyl tosylynamides. Negishi coupling of N-ethynylzinc tosylamides derivatives with (hetero)aryl iodides in the presence of Pd₂dba₃ and triphenylphosphine affords N-aryl and N-alkyl arylynamides in yields of up to 90%. Intramolecular [4+2] cycloaddition reactions of N-ethynylphenyl ynamides and arylynamides allow the synthesis of carbazoles and benzannulated and heteroannulated carbazoles in moderate-to-good yields.     

A strategy for the synthesis of 2-aryl-3-dimethylaminopyrazolo-[3,4-c]pyridines that utilizes [4+1] cycloaddition reactions of 5-arylazo-2,3,6-trisubstituted pyridines

In order to explore the viability and generality of a recently uncovered [4+1] cycloaddition based strategy for the preparation of pyrazolo[3,4-c]pyridine derivatives, members of a series of 5-arylazo-2,3,6-trisubstituted pyridines were prepared by reactions of 3-oxo-2-arylhydrazonopropanals with 3-oxo-3-phenylpropionitrile. The results show that 3-oxo-3-phenylpropionitrile reacts with hydrazone substrates, which do not contain electron-withdrawing substituents on the N-aryl ring of the arylhydrazone moieties, to efficiently produce 6-aryl-2-phenyl-5-arylazonicotinonitriles. In contrast, 2-amino-6-aryl-5-arylazo-3-benzoylpyridines are generated in reactions of 3-oxo-2-arylhydrazonopropanals, which contain electron-withdrawing substituents on the N-aryl moiety. In the forecasted manner, the 6-aryl-2-phenyl-5-arylazonicotinonitriles undergo smooth reactions with dimethylformamide dimethylacetal (DMF-DMA) that led to formation of a new class of 2-aryl-3-dimethylaminopyrazolo[3,4-c]pyridines. The mechanism for this process involves a [4+1] cycloaddition reaction that takes place through initial nucleophilic addition of dimethylamino)methoxycarbene, generated from DMF-DMA, to the azadiene moiety of the arylazopyridines followed by cyclization of the formed zwitterionic intermediate.     

Investigation of reactions of the organozinc reagents prepared from zinc and dialkyl dibromomalonates with the derivatives of 2-arylmethyleneindan-1,3-dione and 5-arylmethylene-2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxane-4,6-dione

Organozinc compounds prepared from dialkyl dibromomalonates and zinc react with 2-arylmethyl-eneindan-4,6-diones, 5-arylmethylene-2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxane-4,6-diones, as well as with 2-[4-(1,3-dioxoindan-2-ylidenemethyl)phenyl]methyleneindan-1,3-dione and 5-[4-(2,2-dimethyl-4,6-dioxo-1,3-dioxane-2-ylidenemethyl)phenyl]methylene-2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxane-4,6-diones to form dialkyl 3-aryl-1′3′-dioxaspiro(cyclopropane-2,2′-indan)-1,1-dicarboxylates, dimethyl 3-aryl-6,6-dimethyl-5,7-dioxa-4,8-dioxaspiro[2,5]octan-2,2-dicarboxylates, dialkyl 2-{4-[3,3-bis (alkoxycarbonyl)-1′,3′-dioxaspiro(cyclopropane-2,2′-indan)-1-yl]phenyl}-1′,3′-dioxaspiro[cyclopropane-2,2′-indan]-1,1-dicarboxylates, and dialkyl 2-{4-[2,2-bis(alkoxycarbonyl)-6,6′-dimethyl-4,8-dioxo-5,7-dioxaspiro[2,5]oct-1-yl]phenyl}-6,6-dimethyl-4,8-dioxo-5,7-dioxaspiro[2,5]octan-1,1-dicarboxylate respectively.     

Catalytic opening of the diaziridine fragment in 6-aryl-1,5-diazabicyclo[3.1.0]hexanes

Treatment of 6-aryl-1,5-diazabicyclo[3.1.0]hexanes with Lewis acids [BF₃·Et₂O or In(OTf)₃] promotes opening of the diaziridine ring, followed by formation of 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition products with N-arylmaleimides. The conversion of the initial diaziridine depends on the nature of the 6-aryl group. Diazabicyclohexanes with donor substituents react quantitatively to give (in the absence of dipolarophiles) the corresponding azomethine imine dimers, 1,2,4,5-tetrazine derivatives. The conversion of diazabicyclohexanes having acceptor substituents is poor; simultaneously, the fraction of the hydrolysis products increases. The stereoselectivity in the 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition, i.e. the ratio of the cis-and trans-adducts, depends on the catalyst and solvent. Azomethine imine dimers react with N-arylmaleimides in the presence of indium(III) trifluoromethanesulfonate to give the same 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition products as those obtained from parent 1,5-diazabicyclohexanes.     

1,3-Dipolar cycloaddition of azomethine imines to ethynyl hetarenes: A synthetic route to 2,3-dihydropyrazolo[1,2-a]pyrazol-1(5H)-one based heterobiaryls

π-Deficient ethynyl hetarenes were used as dipolarophiles in a 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction with azomethine imines (2-arylidene-5-oxopyrazolidin-2-ium-1-ides). Both CuI-catalyzed and catalyst-free thermally induced reactions proceeded with high regioselectivity providing 6-hetaryl-5-aryl-2,3-dihydropyrazolo[1,2-a]pyrazol-1(5H)-ones in moderate to excellent yields. The ethynyl hetarenes (pyridines, pyrazines, quinoxalines, pteridines and pyrimido[4,5-c]pyridazines) with ortho-methyl, ortho-cyano and ortho-alkynyl substituents were applicable to this reaction. 1,3-Dipolar cycloaddition reactions of alkynyl hetarenes with azomethine imines or other 1,3-dipole reagents can be considered as an alternative synthetic approach to heterobiaryls.
