Polycondensed nitrogen heterocycles. Part24. Pyrrolo[3,4-c]isoquinolinone by thermal rearrangement of a pyrrolylbenzotriazinone

Rearrangement under acidic conditions of the pyrrolylbenzotriazinone 7 afforded the pyrrolylbenzamides 10 and 11. By thermal rearrangement instead, the first fully aromatic derivative of the pyrrolo[3,4-c]isoquinoline ring system 9 was obtained.

Polycondensed nitrogen heterocycles. XXII. A new synthesis of 5,6-dihydro-7H-pyrazolo[1,5-d][1,4]benzodiazepin-6-ones

A new synthesis of 2-methyl-9-R'-10-R-5,6-dihydro-7H-pyrazolo[1,5-d][1,4]benzodiazepin-6-ones (4a-c) is deserved. Reaction of ethyl hydrazinoacetate hydrochloride with 1,3-diketones 1a-c gave both 3-methyl-5-(4R'-5-R-2-nitrophenyl)pyrazol-1-yl-acetate acids (2a-c) and the corresponding ethyl esters 3a-c. Reduction with the appropiate reducing agent of compounds 2a-c and 3a-c directly gave the title compounds. Compound 4a showed insecticidal properties against the house fly.

ChemInform Abstract: Polycondensed Nitrogen Heterocycles. Part 25. Aminopyrrolo(1,2-f) phenanthridines by Decomposition of 2-(3-Azidophenyl)-1-arylpyrroles.

Acid catalyzed decomposition of the azido derivatives 4a-c gave rise to amino-hydroxy-phenylpyrroles of type 7 and 8 upon hydrolysis of the intermediate aryl nitrenium ions, together with the hydrogen abstraction compounds of type 3. The aminopyrrolo[1,2-f]phenanthridines 10, 11, and 12 were obtained by treatment with TFMSA of the azide 4d in which the ring being attacked was made more nucleophilic by the introduction of the methoxy group.

Pyrrolo[3,2-c]cinnoline derivatives were obtained by an unusual Japp-Klingemann reaction involving an intramolecular azadehalogenation on the pyrrole nucleus. Such an azadehalogenation represents the first example of Japp-Klingemann reaction in which the extrusion of positive chlorine ion is verified.

3-Diazopyrroles—IV. Structure determination using 13C NMR spectroscopy

Abstract On the basis of the 13 C NMR chemical shifts, it is proposed that, although b is the major canonical structure, structure c , in which a negative charge resides at C-3, provides an important contribution to the resonance stabilization of the 3-diazopyrroles, 1–4 .

Hydrogenolysis with Raney-Nickel or iron powder in acetic acid of 2,5-diphenyl-4-nitro-3-(3,5-R,R-4-isoxazolyl)pyrrolyl ketones, prepared by the Grignard reaction of 2,5-diphenylpyrrole and 3,5-R,R-4-isoxazolecarboxilic acid chlorides followed by nitration, afforded directly the desired 6H-pyrrolo[3,4-b ]pyridin-4-ones.

Synthesis of new 2,2′-disubstituted 5,5′-dimethyl-4,4′-bitriazoles and 2-(4-Triazolyl)quinoxalines

Thermal rearrangement of 3-acylisoxazole arylhydrazones allowed facile preparation of 2H-1,2,3-triazoles which were firstly reacted with isoamyl nitrite and then with an opportune arylhydrazine to produce the corresponding α-hydroxyiminohydrazones 8a-h. The reaction of compounds 8a-h with phosphorus pentachloride afforded the desired 4,4′-bitriazoles 1a-h. The α-hydroxyiminoketone derivative 7 or the α-diketone 14 reacted easily with 1,2-phenylenediamine to afford 1,2,3-triazoles 2a-c bearing the quinoxaline moiety at position 4. Improved yields of the quinoxalines 2a-c were obtained when 1,2-phenylenediamine was reacted with the dioxime 15.

Facile synthesis of pyrazoles and pyrroles via thermolysis of tetrazolo[1,5-b]pyridazines, tetrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidines and tetrazolo[1,5-a]pyridines

Abstract A simple and high yielding preparation of pyrazoles and pyrroles is described. Thermolysis of tetrazolo[1,5- b ]pyridazines, tetrazolo[1,5- a ]pyrimidines and tetrazolo[1,5- a ]pyridines allowed easy ring contraction thus providing a facile preparation of cyanopyrazole and cyanopyrrole heterocycles. Since the cyano group is a versatile precursor of other functionalities, the reaction appears of particular interest for the construction of a variety of pyrazoles and pyrroles. The simple preparation of the starting tetrazole derivatives, the relatively mild conditions employed, and the very short reaction times make this versatile procedure of great synthetic utility and applicable bo…

Synthesis and antimicrobial activity of new 3-(1-R-3(5)-methyl-4-nitroso-1H-5(3)-pyrazolyl)-5-methylisoxazoles.

A number of new 3-(1-R-3(5)-methyl-4-nitroso-1H-5(3)-pyrazolyl)-5-methylisoxazoles 6a-g (7b-f) were synthesized and tested for antibacterial and antifungal activity. Some of these compounds displayed antifungal activity at non-cytotoxic concentrations. Derivative 6c was 9 times more potent in vitro than miconazole and 20 times more selective against C. neoformans. 6c was also 8- and 125-fold more potent than amphotericin B and fluconazole, respectively. None of the compounds was active against bacteria. Preliminary structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies showed that the NO group at position 4 of the pyrazole ring is essential for the activity. Lipophilicity of the pyrazole moiety, N-a…

Stilbene-based anticancer agents: Resveratrol analogues active toward HL60 leukemic cells wit a non-specific phase mechanism

Several stilbenes, related to known resveratrol, have been synthesized and tested for their anticancer effect on HL60 leukemia cell line, taking particular care of the cell cycle analysis. The most potent compound was the known (Z)-3,4',5-trimethoxystilbene (6b) which was active as apoptotic agent at 0.24 microM. Differently from other stilbenes (including resveratrol) that induced a prevalent recruitment of cells in S phase of cell cycle, we found a peculiar behavior of 6b that caused a decrease of cells in all phases of cell cycle (G0-G1, S, and G2-M) and a proportional increase of apoptotic cells. The potent pro-apoptotic activity shown by compound 6b and its effects on cell cycle make t…
