Acylation and Cyclodehydration of Benzofuran-, Benzothiophene-, and Indolyl-3-acetic Acid Arylamides. Synthesis of Novel Benzofuro[2,3-c]-, Benzothieno[2,3-c], and Indolo[2,3-c]pyrilium and Pyridine Derivatives

The acylation of benzo[b]furan-, benzo[b]thiophene, and indolyl-3-acetic acid arylamides using acetic anhydride in the presence of 70% perchloric acid occurs at the α-position of the heterocycle to give 2-acetylbenzo[b]furan-, 2-acetylbenzo[b]thiophene, and 2-acetylindolyl-3-acetic acid arylamides. Depending on the amount of perchloric used in the reaction they undergo cyclodehydration to 3-arylamino-1-methylhetero[2,3-c]pyrilium salts and to N-aryl-1-methyl-3(2H)hetero[2,3-c]pyridones.

Novel Synthetic Route Toward Benzofuran-pyridine–Based Spirans

Abstract A novel domino reaction of tetrahydrobenzofuro[3,2-c] or [2,3-c]pyridines with dimethylacetylene dicarboxylate (DMAD) or methyl propiolate (MP) resulted in the formation of spirobenzofuranpyridines in moderate yields. The spirobenzofuran derivatives reported may be considered analogs of the antifungal drug griseofulvin. GRAPHICAL ABSTRACT

Reaction of 3-Arylaminobenzofuro-, 3-Arylaminobenzothieno-, and 3-Arylaminoindolo[2,3-c]pyrylium Salts with Nucleophilic Reagents

We have studied the reactions of 3-arylaminobenzofuro-, 3-arylaminobenzothieno-, and 3-arylaminoindolo[2,3-c]pyrylium salts with ammonium acetate, primary amines, and hydrazine hydrate. In an alcoholic medium, primary amines and hydrazine hydrate open up the pyrylium ring to form arylamides of 2-(N-benzylmethylketimine)hetaryl-3-acetic acids or the corresponding hydrazones, where further heterocyclization does not occur. Upon treatment with ammonium acetate in acetic acid, 2-aryl-1-methylhetero[2,3-c]pyridin-3-(2H)-ones are formed along with their 2-unsubstituted analogs.

Reactions of 1,3-Substituted Benzothieno[2,3-c]pyrylium Salts with Primary Amines

We have studied the reactions of benzothieno[2,3-c]pyrylium salts with primary amines. We have shown that recyclization occurs in two directions, and whether benzothieno[2,3-c]pyridinium salts or 1-aminodibenzothiophenes are formed is determined by the nature of the primary amine.

Synthesis of 6-R-5-aryl-1,3-dioxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-[1]benzothieno[3',2':4,5]pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidin-5-ium salts and 6-R-5-aryl-5,6-dihydro[1]benzothieno-[3',2':4,5]pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidine-1,3(2H,4H)-diones

Acylation of 5-(benzothiophen-3-yl)pyrimidine-2,4,6(1H,3H,5H)-trione using acetic and propionic anhydride in the presence of 70% perchloric acid gave the 6-methyl(ethyl)-1,3-dioxo-1,2,3,4-tetra-hydro[1]benzothieno[3,2:4,5]pyrano[2,3-d]pyrimidin-5-ium perchlorates. Hydrolysis of the pyrano[2,3-d]pyrimidin-5-ium salts in aqueous alcohol solution gave 5-(2-acylbenzothiophen-3-yl)-pyrimidine-2,4,6(1H,3H,5H)-triones. Cyclocondensation of the latter with aromatic amine hydrochlorides produced 6-R-5-aryl-1,3-dioxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro[1]benzothieno[3,2:4,5]pyrido[2,3-d]-pyrimidin-5-ium chlorides. 6-R-5-Aryl-5,6-dihydro[1]benzothieno[3,2:4,5]pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidine-1,3(2H,4H)-diones were synthesized by reduction of the pyrimidinium chlorides using sodium borohydride.

Domino reactions in the synthesis of benzothieno[2,3-c]pyridines. New one-pot method of preparing 2-([1]benzothieno-[2,3-c]pyridin-1-yl)benzoic acids and 8,13b-dihydro[1]benzothieno[2',3':3,4]pyrido-[2,1-a]isoindol-5(7 H)-ones

A series of previously unknown 2-([1]benzothieno[2,3-c]pyridin-1-yl)benzoic acids and 8,13b-dihydro-[1]benzothieno[2,3:3,4]pyrido[2,1-a]isoindol-5(7u2009H)-ones has been synthesized using domino reactions, taking place at the cyclization of 2-[3-oxo-4-(phenylsulfanyl)butyl]-1,3-isoindolinediones in polyphosphoric acid.
