11-Aryl-3,3-dimethyl-7- and 7,8-Substituted 1,2,3,4,10,11-Hexahydro-5H-dibenzo[b,e]-1,4-diazepin-1-ones

In reactions of 3-(5- and 5,6-substituted 2-aminophenylamino)-5,5-dimethylcyclohex-2-en-ones with carbaldehydes of pyridine, thiophene, and furan and substituted benzaldehydes, we have obtained 21 novel 7H-7-methoxycarbonyl-, 7-benzoyl-, 7-trifluoromethyl-, 7-nitro- and 7,8-dichloro-11-aryl-3,3-dimethyl-1,2,3,4,10,11-hexahydro-5H-dibenzo[b,e]-1,4-diazepin-1-one.

Reactions of 4-Chloro-3-formylcoumarin with Arylhydrazines

The interaction of 3-formyl-4-coumarin with arylhydrazine hydrochlorides in the presence of sodium acetate gave the corresponding 3-arylhydrazonomethyl-4-chlorocoumarin, and with phenylhydrazine, 4-bromo- and 4-chlorophenylhydrazine hydrochlorides in the presence of two equivalents of triethylamine gave either 1-aryl- or 2-aryl[1]benzopyrano[4,3-c]pyrazol-4-ones depending on the reaction conditions. In reactions of 4-chloro-3-formylcoumarin with 2,4-dichloro-, 2,4-difluoro-, 2-hydroycarbonyl-, 4-nitro- and 3,5-di(trifluoromethyl)phenylhydrazine, 2-pyridyl- and 2-quinoxalylhydrazine in the presence of excess of triethylamine the 2-aryl[1]benzopyrano[4,3-c]pyrazol-4(2H)-ones were obtained exclusively. The structures of 1-phenyl- and 2-(2-pyridyl)[1]benzopyrano[4,3-c]pyrazolo-4(1H)ones were confirmed by X-ray crystallography. A simple method is proposed to distinguish between 1- and 2-substituted [1]benzopyrano[4,3-c]pyrazolo-4-ones on the basis of the 1H NMR chemical shifts of the C(3)-H proton in two solvents - DMSO-d6 and CDCl3.

Multicomponent Synthesis of 2,5-Dioxo- and 4-Aryl-5-oxo-2-thioxo-1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8-octahydroquinazolines

Ten 2,5-dioxo- and 4-aryl-5-oxo-2-thioxo-1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8-octahydroquinazolines have been synthesized in three-component interactions of 1,3-cyclohexanedione or dimedone, urea or thiourea, and substituted benzaldehydes (3-bromo-, 4-bromo-, 4-fluoro-, 4-methoxy-, 3,4-methylenedioxy-, and 3-nitro-). 9-Aryl-4,5-dioxo-1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8-octahydro-9H-xanthenes were also formed in these reactions.

2-[2-(2,3-Dihydrobenzimidazolylidene)]- and 2-[2-(2,3-Dihydropyrido[2,3-d]imidazolylidene)]-5,5-dimethyl-1,3-cyclohexanediones

The reaction of 2-aminocarbonyl-5,5-dimethyl-1,3-cyclohexanedione with 2,3-diaminopyridine, 1,2-phenylenediamine (and its 4-methyl, 4-nitro, 4-carboxy, and 4-benzoyl derivatives), and 3,3-diaminobenzidine gave the corresponding 2-[2-(2,3-dihydrobenzimidazolylidene)]- and 2-[2-(2,3-dihydropyrido[2,3-d]imidazolylidene)]-5,5-dimethyl-1,3-cyclohexanediones. Their structure was confirmed by 1H NMR spectroscopic data and X-ray analysis.

5-Diazo-6,6-dimethyl-4-oxo-4,5,6,7-tetrahydroindazoles in [3+2] cycloaddition reactions

The [3+2] cycloaddition reactions of a series of 1,3-substituted 5-diazo-6,6-dimethyl-4-oxo-4,5,6,7-tetrahydroindazoles with maleic anhydride and dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate gave 1′,3′-substituted 3-spiro[4,6-dioxo-4,6,3a,6a-tetrahydro-3H-furo[3,4-c]pyrazole]-5′-[6′,6′-dimethyl-4′-oxo-4′,5′,6′,7′-tetrahydroindazoles] and 1′,3′-substituted 3-spiro[4,5-di(methoxycarbonyl)-3H-pyrazole]-5′-[6′,6′-dimethyl-4′-oxo-4′,5′,6′,7′-tetrahydroindazoles] respectively. When heated the former eliminate nitrogen and are transformed into 1′,3′-substituted 6-spiro[2,4-dioxo-3-oxabicyclo[3.1.0]hexane]-5′-[6′,6′-dimethyl-4′-oxo-4′,5′,6′,7′-tetrahydroindazoles].

Reactions of 4-chloro-3-formyl-coumarin with primary amines

The reaction of 4-chloro-3-formylcoumarin with primary amines in the presence of triethylamine was studied. The reaction with aliphatic and aromatic amines leads to N-substituted 4-amino-3-formylcoumarins, whereas hetarylamines react primarily with the formyl group to form a mixture of the Z-and E-isomers of N-substituted 3-aminomethylenechroman-2,4-diones. Replacement of the triethylamine by anhydrous sodium acetate in the reaction of chlorocoumarin with 2-aminopyridines leads to the formation of the condensed benzopyranopyridopyrimidine system as a result of nucleophilic attack of the amino group by the chlorine atom at position 4.

3-ARYL- AND 2,3-DIARYL-4-OXO-4,5,6,7-TETRA- HYDROINDAZOLES. 2*. REACTIONS OF ARYL- AND TOSYLHYDRAZONES OF DIMEDONE AND 1,3-CYCLOHEXANEDIONE WITH SOME AROMATIC AND HETEROAROMATIC ALDEHYDES

The reactions of the phenylhydrazone and 2-chlorophenyl-, 2,4-difluorophenyl-, 4-nitrophenyl-, and 2-pyridylhydrazones of dimedone with benzaldehyde, 4-bromo-, 4-fluoro-, 4-(dimethylamino)-, 4-nitrobenzaldehydes, 2-, 3-, and 4-pyridinecarbaldehydes and 2-thiophenecarbaldehyde have given 24 novel 2,3-diaryl-4-oxo-4,5,6,7-tetrahydroindazoles. Treatment of the tosylhydrazones of dimedone and 1,3-cyclohexanedione with pyridine- and thiophenecarbaldehydes yielded 7 novel 3-pyridyl- and 3-thienyl-4-oxo-4,5,6,7-tetrahydroindazoles.

The Reaction of 2-Aminoethyl- and 3-Aminopropyl-substituted Heterocycles with 2-Formyl-1,3-cyclanediones and 4-Oxo-3,1-benzoxazines

The reaction of 2-formyl-1,3-cyclohexanedione, its 5,5-dimethyl, 5-phenyl and 5-(2-furyl) derivatives and of 2-formyl-1,3-indanedione and dehydroacetic acid with histamine, 3-(1-imidazolyl)propylamine, 3-(4-morpholyl)propylamine, 3-(2-pyrrolidon-1-yl)propylamine, 2-(1-piperazinyl)ethylamine, tryptamine, and 2-(aminomethyl)pyridine gave fifteen 2-aminomethylene derivatives. The reaction of these amines with 2-methyl-4-oxo-3,1-benzoxazine gave the 3-substituted 2-methyl-4(3H)-quinazolinones and with 4-oxo-2-phenyl-3,1-benzoxazine the monosubstituted N-benzoylanthranilic acid amides.

1-(2-Quinoxalyl)-, 1-[3,5-Di(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-, 1-(2-Carboxyphenyl)-, and 1-Ethoxycarbonyl-4-oxo-4,5,6,7-tetrahydroindazoles

The corresponding 1-(2-quinoxalyl)-, 1-[3,5-di(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-, and 1-ethoxycarbonyl-3-methyl-4-oxo-4,5,6,7-tetrahydroindazoles have been obtained from reactions of 2-acetyl-1,3-cyclohexanedione, its 5,5-dimethyl and 5-(2-furyl) derivatives, with 2-hydrazinoquinoxaline, 3,5-di(trifluoromethyl)phenylhydrazine, and ethoxycarbonylhydrazine. On interaction with ethoxycarbonylhydrazine the intermediate 2-[1-(β-ethoxycarbonyl)hydrazino]ethylidene-1,3-cyclohexanediones were also isolated. From the potassium salt of 2-formyldimedone and 2-carboxyphenylhydrazine hydrochloride, 2-(2-carboxyphenyl)hydrazinomethylene-5,5-dimethyl-1,3-cyclohexanedione was obtained, the cyclization of which in ethanol in the presence of HCl led to 1-(2-carboxyphenyl)- and 1-(2-ethoxycarbonylphenyl)-6,6-dimethyl-4-oxo-4,5,6,7-tetrahydroindazole.

2-Substituted [1]benzopyrano[4,3-d]pyrimidin-5-ones

A new method is reported for the synthesis of 2-R-substituted [1]benzopyrano[4,3-d]pyrimidin-5-ones (R = p-phenyl, p-chlorophenyl-, p-carbamoylphenyl-, 3-pyridinyl-, 4-pyridinyl-, 2-pyrazinyl-, pyrrolidino-,morpholino-, 3,6-dimethyl-1-pyrazolyl-) by the reaction of 4-chloro-3-formylcoumarin with salts of the corresponding amidines RC(=NH)NH2HX in DMF in the presence of piperidine or triethylamine. 3-Formyl-4-coumarin and 2-aminobenzimidazole give
