Advances in the Synthesis of Ring-Fused Benzimidazoles and Imidazobenzimidazoles.

ABSTRACT: This review article provides a perspective on the synthesis of alicyclic and heterocyclic ring-fused benzimidazoles, imidazo[4,5-f]benzimidazoles, and imidazo[5,4-f]benzimidazoles. These heterocycles have a plethora of biological activities with the iminoquinone and quinone derivatives displaying potent bioreductive antitumor activity. Synthesis is categorized according to the cyclization reaction and mechanisms are detailed. Nitrobenzene reduction, cyclization of aryl amidines, lactams and isothiocyanates are described. Protocols include condensation, cross-dehydrogenative coupling with transition metal catalysis, annulation onto benzimidazole, often using CuI-catalysis, and radical cyclization with homolytic aromatic substitution. Many oxidative transformations are under metal-free conditions, including using thermal, photochemical, and electrochemical methods. Syntheses of diazole analogues of mitomycin C derivatives are described. Traditional oxidations of o-(cycloamino)anilines using peroxides in acid via the t-amino effect remain popular.

Synthesis and Characterization of Fused-Ring Iridapyrroles.

Project description:Treatment of aromatic nitriles with methyllithium produces N-lithiated imine reagents which, when reacted with (η(2)-cyclooctene)(Cl)Ir(PMe(3))(3), generate fused iridaazacycles via ortho-metallation. Mono-protonation of these iridaazacycles produces fused iridapyrrole derivatives, while di-protonation leads to several different pathways.

Synthesis of fused-ring and attached-ring bis-tetrahydrofurans via Pd-catalyzed carboetherification.

Project description:A five step-synthesis of fused bis-tetrahydrofurans and attached bis-tetrahydrofurans from butadiene diepoxide is described. Two sequential Pd-catalyzed carboetherification reactions between protected 1,2-diols and aryl/alkenyl bromides, each of which form both a C-O bond and a C-C bond, are used to generate the heterocyclic rings with >20:1 dr. Installation of different R(1) and R(2) groups is achieved in a straightforward fashion through use of different aryl or alkenyl bromide coupling partners.

Copper-catalyzed intramolecular alkene carboetherification: synthesis of fused-ring and bridged-ring tetrahydrofurans.

Project description:Fused-ring and bridged-ring tetrahydrofuran scaffolds are found in a number of natural products and biologically active compounds. A new copper-catalyzed intramolecular carboetherification of alkenes for the synthesis of bicyclic tetrahydrofurans is reported herein. The reaction involves Cu-catalyzed intramolecular addition of alcohols to unactivated alkenes and subsequent aryl C-H functionalization provides the C-C bond. Mechanistic studies indicate a primary carbon radical intermediate is involved and radical addition to the aryl ring is the likely C-C bond-forming mechanism. Preliminary catalytic enantioselective reactions are promising (up to 75% ee) and provide evidence that copper is involved in the alkene addition step, likely through a cis-oxycupration mechanism. Catalytic enantioselective alkene carboetherification reactions are rare and future development of this new method into a highly enantioselective process is promising. During the course of the mechanistic studies a protocol for alkene hydroetherification was also developed.

Design, Synthesis, and Antibacterial Evaluation of Oxazolidinones with Fused Heterocyclic C-Ring Substructure.

Project description:A series of novel oxazolidinone antibacterials with diverse fused heteroaryl C-rings bearing hydrogen bond donor and hydrogen bond acceptor functionalities were designed and synthesized. The compound with benzoxazinone C-ring substructure (8c) exhibited superior activity compared to linezolid against a panel of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. Structural modifications at C5-side chain of 8c resulted in identification of several potent compounds (12a, 12b, 12g, and 12h). Selected compounds 8c and 12a showed very good microsomal stability and no CYP450 liability, thus clearing preliminary safety hurdles. A docking model of 12a binding to 23S rRNA suggested that the increased potency of 12a is due to additional ligand-receptor interaction.

Fluorous Synthesis of Hydantoin-, Piperazinedione-, and Benzodiazepinedione-Fused Tricyclic and Tetracyclic Ring Systems.

Project description:Fluorous proline derivatives generated from one-pot, three-component [3+2] cycloaddition of azomethine ylides are employed for different post-condensation reactions to form hydantoin-, piperazinedione-, and benzodiazepinedione-fused tricyclic and tetracyclic ring systems. The high synthetic efficiency is achieved by conducting fast microwave reactions and easy fluorous-solid phase extractions for reaction mixture purifications. Methods developed for these novel drug-like heterocyclic compounds can be applied to diversity-oriented library synthesis.

Discovery of methylpyrimidine ring-fused diterpenoid analogs as a novel testosterone synthesis promoter.

Project description:Herein we screened our small synthetic library of diterpenoid analogs for hit compounds on promoting testosterone synthesis and the methylpyrimidine ring-fused diterpenoid analog 7 was obtained as the hit. Based on the hit, a series of derivatives were designed, synthesized and evaluated for their effects on testosterone secretion in mouse Leydig TM3 cells. Most of the derivatives showed better activity in promoting testosterone synthesis than the positive control compound icariin, among which compound 17 has optimal activity and little cytotoxicity. Preliminary mechanism studies indicated that 17 significantly promoted the expression of testosterone synthesis-related marker genes (StAR, 3β-HSD and CYP11A1). Further studies showed that 17 provided sufficient steroid materials for testosterone synthesis by stimulating autophagy in Leydig cells. Thus compound 17 emerged as a potential lead compound for further development of therapeutics for late onset of hypogonadism (LOH).

Synthesis of stereochemically and skeletally diverse fused ring systems from functionalized C-glycosides.

Project description:A diversity-oriented synthesis (DOS) strategy was developed for the synthesis of stereochemically diverse fused-ring systems containing a pyran moiety. Each scaffold contains an amine and methyl ester for further diversification via amine capping and amide coupling. Scaffold diversity was evaluated in comparison to previously prepared scaffolds by a shape-based principal moments of inertia (PMI) analysis.

Project description:The synthesis, characterization, and electropolymerization of a series of extended fused-ring thieno[3,4-b]pyrazine-based terthienyls are reported. The target terthienyls contain a central extended thieno[3,4-b]pyrazine analogue containing 2-thienyl units at the reactive α-positions of the central thiophene. The extended fused-ring thieno[3,4-b]pyrazine analogues studied include acenaphtho[1,2-b]thieno[3,4-e]pyrazine, dibenzo[f,h]thieno[3,4-b]quinoxaline, and thieno[3',4':5,6]-pyrazino[2,3-f][1,10]phenanthroline. Comparison of the electrochemical and photophysical properties to simple thieno[3,4-b]pyrazine-based terthienyls and their polymeric analogues are reported in order to provide structure-function relationships within this series of compounds and materials.

Molecular modeling, synthesis, and activity studies of novel biaryl and fused-ring BACE1 inhibitors.

Project description:A series of transition state analogues of beta-secretases 1 and 2 (BACE1, 2) inhibitors containing fused-ring or biaryl moieties were designed computationally to probe the S2 pocket, synthesized, and tested for BACE1 and BACE2 inhibitory activity. It has been shown that unlike the biaryl analogs, the fused-ring moiety is successfully accommodated in the BACE1 binding site resulting in the ligands with excellent inhibitory activity. Ligand 5b reduced 65% of Abeta40 production in N2a cells stably transfected with Swedish human APP.
