Synthesis of novel 1,2,5,6-tetrahydro-4H-pyrrolo[3,2,1-ij]quinolines via benzotriazole methodology

Abstract Pyrroloquinolines have been synthesized reacting 1-(benzotriazol-1(2)-ylmethyl)indolines with unactivated and electron-rich alkenes in the presence of p-toluenesulfonic acid catalyst. Mixtures of the expected diastereomers were obtained and some of them separated in their respective components. X-Ray diffraction along with two-dimensional NMR experiments was needed to assist the determination for both the structures of the precursors and products.

ChemInform Abstract: 1-Alkyl- and Azeto[1,2-a][1,5]benzodiazepine Derivatives in the Reaction of o-Phenylenediamine with 3-(Dimethylamino)propiophenones.

The reaction of o-phenylenediamine (4) with one, two or three equivalents of p-substituted 3-dimethylaminopropiophenone hydrochlorides 5a−e was studied. 4-Aryl-2,3-dihydro-1H-1,5-benzodiazepine derivatives 6a−e were obtained in good yields, along with the 1:2-adducts 7c−e and the unexpected 1:3-adducts rac-8c−e. The type of adduct formed is determined by the molar ratio of the reactants 4 and 5 and by the nature of the substituent in the para position of the propiophenone 5.

ChemInform Abstract: A Versatile Synthesis of 4,5-Dihydropyrrolo[1,2-a]quinoxalines.

The reaction of 1-(2-aminophenyl)pyrrole with aromatic or heteroaromatic aldehydes in ethanol and catalytic amounts of acetic acid leads to 4,5-dihydropyrrolo[1,2-a]quinoxalines in high yields. When aliphatic aldehydes were used under the same conditions, a slow oxidation to the corresponding pyrrolo[1,2-a]quinoxalines can occur; the oxidation can be avoided by preparing in situ the 5-acetyl derivatives of the 4,5-dihydropyrrolo[1,2-a]quinoxalines.

ChemInform Abstract: Cyclocondensation Reaction of 1,2-Diamino-4-methylbenzene and p- Substituted Acetophenones.

1,2-Diamino-4-methylbenzene 1 reacts in the presence of sulphuric acid with 4-substituted acetophenones 2a-e yielding 2,4-diaryl-2,3-dihydro-2,8-dimethyl-1H-1,5-benzodiazepines 3a-e and as minor component 2,4-diaryl-2,3-dihydro-2,7-dimethyl-1H-1,5-benzodiazepines 4a-e. The ratio 3:4 is in the range of 7:3. The structure determination of the regioisomers was performed by NOE measurements.

2-(Benzotriazol-1-ylmethyl)-1-phenyl-3-pyrazolidinone: two weak hydrogen bonds combine to form molecular ladders

In the supramolecular structure of C16H15N5O, weak C—H⋯O and C—H⋯N bonds combine to form molecular ladders, the former bonds acting as the rungs and the latter as the uprights.

Chromatographic and spectroscopic properties of regioisomers of some 1H-1,5-benzodiazepines

The separation of the two regioisomeric derivatives of 1H-1,5-benzodia- zepine yielded from the reaction of 1,2-diamino-4-methylbenzene with 4-substituted acetophenones was performed by reversed phase high per- formance liquid chromatography, and the absorption spectra of the sepa- rated isomers have been determined for three isomer pairs which have been obtained starting from acetophenones with substituents of different electronegativity. The isomer ratio then could be estimated as well from the ratio of the peak areas as from the absorption spectra. They agree well with the known ratio determined from nmr intensities

Synthesis, biological evaluation, and: In silico studies of novel chalcone: In pyrazoline-based 1,3,5-triazines as potential anticancer agents

A novel series of triazin-chalcones (7,8)a-g and triazin-N-(3,5-dichlorophenyl)pyrazolines (9,10)a-g were synthesized and evaluated for their anticancer activity against nine different cancer strains. Triazine ketones 5 and 6 were synthesized from the cyanuric chloride 1 by using stepwise nucleophilic substitution of the chlorine atom. These ketones were subsequently subjected to a Claisen-Schmidt condensation reaction with aromatic aldehydes affording chalcones (7,8)a-g. Then, N-(3,5-dichlorophenyl)pyrazolines (9,10)a-g were obtained by cyclocondensation reactions of the respective chalcones (7,8)a-g with 3,5-dichlorophenylhydrazine. Among all the evaluated compounds, chalcones 7d,g and 8g…
