An unique approach to the synthesis of heterocyclic spiranes through ring switching transformation of suitably functionalized 2H-pyran-2-ones, benzo[h]chromene and thiochromeno[4,3-b]pyrans has been developed. The spirane dimer 11d displayed interestinghalogen-hydrogen bonding to generate an elliptical cavity and may be relevant to the generation of a host guest assembly for specific cations and also a low helimerization energy barrier of spirane 17a.

Abstract

One-pot regioselective synthesis of 2,6-diarylpyrimidines (4), 2,6-disubstituted pyridines (5 and 6), 5-aryl-3-cyanomethyl-1H-pyrazoles (7) through base catalyzed ring transformation of suitably functionalized 2H-pyran-2-ones by arylamidines, cyanamide, ammonium carbonate, hydrazines respectively has been developed. Our synthetic approach opened a new avenue for the regioselective synthesis of 2,6-diarylpyrimidines and 2,6-disubstituted pyridines and cyanomethylpyrazoles. The procedure is very simple, efficient and economically viable. The protocol provides an efficient methodology for the preparation of new class of medicinally useful and highly functionalized azines and azoles from single precursor 2H-pyran-2-ones.

DOI: 10.1039/C2OB25173FThe synthesis of three new classes of heteroarenes, built through the sequential fusion of naphthalene, benzo/naphtho[b]oxepine and thiochromene rings with pyran and pyrimidine ring system to give ‘U and Z’ shapes of structural frame work is reported. The methodology is based on the synthesis of pyran fused intermediates, 1-methylthio-3-oxo-5,6-dihydro-3H-benzo[f]chromene-2-carbonitrile (3), 4-methylthio-2-oxo-5,6-dihydro-2H-benzo/naphtho[b]pyrano[2,3-d]oxepine-3-carbonitriles (10, 20) and 4-methylthio-2-oxo-2,5-dihydrothiochromeno[4,3-b]pyran-3-carbonitriles (15) from the reaction of 2-tetralone, benzo/ naphtho[b]oxepin-5-ones and thiochromen-4-ones with methyl 2-cyano-3,3-dimethylthioacrylate respectively. Further condensation of intermediates 3, 10, 20 and 15 with amidines led to the formation of tetracyclic ‘U’ shaped 4-amino-2-aryl-7,8-dihydro-5-oxo-5H-naphtho[2,1-b]pyrimido[4,5-d]pyrans (8) and ‘Z’ shaped 4-amino-2-aryl-5-oxo-12,13-dihydro-5H-benzo/naphtho[b]oxepino[5,4-b]pyrimido[4,5-d]pyrans (12, 22) and 4-amino-2-aryl-5-oxo-5,12-dihydrothiochromeno[4,3-b]pyrimido[4,5-d]pyrans (17). Compound 12f forms chain of dimers through N-H∙∙∙O interactions as indicated by the X-ray structure analysis and the quantum chemical calculations performed at the MP2 level indicates that this interaction energy is 10 kJ mol.-1

Abstract

An efficient and concise one pot synthesis of highly functionalized thiophenes and pyranone fused thiophenes has been delineated through base induced ring transformation of suitably functionalized 2H-pyran-2-ones by ethyl thioglycolate by inter and intramolecular C–S and C–C bond formation.
