Abstract

:
Thioxothienopyrimidinones, alkylthio- and arylalkylthiothienopyrimidinones, thienopyrimidinones, thienopyrimidines a thienopyrimidinedione and a thienotriazolo-pyrimidinone were prepared from 2-amino-3-carboethoxy-4,5-disubstituted thiophenes and 2-amino-3-cyano-4,5-disubstituted thiophenes via reactions with different reagents.

Introduction

Many thienopyrimidines are found to exhibit a variety of biological activities, including antiinflammatory [1,2], antimicrobial [3] and analgesic [4] properties, inhibition of cancer cell proliferation [5], antagonism of α1 adrenoceptors [6] and prevention of cartilage destruction in articular diseases [7]. In continuation with our previous work on the title compounds [8,9], we report herein the synthesis of a series of novel thienopyrimidine derivatives.

Results and Discussion

The starting materials, namely 2-amino-3-ethoxycarbonyl-4,5-disubstituted thiophenes 1a-c and 2-amino-3-cyano-4,5-disubstituted thiophenes 1d,e were prepared following the corresponding literature procedures [10,11,12]. Thienylthiourea derivatives 2a-h were prepared by condensation of the amino esters 1a-c with alkyl or aryl isothiocyanates, either by heating at reflux or under microwave irradiation [8,9,13]; the latter method afforded higher yields of the desired products in a shorter time.

Compounds 2a,d were also prepared by condensation of the amino esters 1a,b with phenylthiourea under microwave irradiation. Cyclization of 2a-h using alcoholic KOH gave the monopotassium salts of the corresponding 3-substituted-2-thioxo-4,5-disubstituted-thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4-ones 3a-h. 2-Thioxo derivatives 4a-g were prepared either from the appropriate potassium salts 3 by acidification or from the amino ester derivatives 1a-c via condensation with aryl isothiocyanates [14,15]. Alkylation of 3a,d,h with alkyl halides gave 2-alkylthio-derivatives 5a-c.
Condensation of the amino esters 1a,c with ethyl chloroformate gave the carbamate derivatives 6a,b, which were fused with p-chlorobenzylamine at 230-240°C to afford the dione derivative 7 [16]. The thienopyrimidinone derivatives 8a,b were prepared by cyclization of the corresponding amino ester with formamide. Nucleophilic aromatic substitution with POCl3 was carried out on 8a to give the 4-chlorothienopyrimidine derivative 9. Further substitution with an aromatic amine was carried out on this chloro derivative 9 to yield the 4-anilino derivative 10 (Scheme 2). The structures of compounds 1-10 were confirmed from their IR, 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR and MS spectral data.

Substitution of the mercapto group in 4a,d by hydrazine hydrate afforded the 2-hydrazino derivative 11 which was then cyclized by glacial acetic acid to give the triazolo derivative 12 [17,18]; the latter compound is sparingly soluble in CDCl3 and DMSO-d6, precluding the use of 13C-NMR spectroscopy as a characterization tool. Oxidation of 4a,d by iodine (Scheme 3) gave the disulfides 13a,b [19]. The structures of compounds 11-13 were also confirmed by various spectroscopic techniques.

Treatment of 1d,e with triethyl orthoformate followed by ethylenediamine, yielded the 3-amino-ethyl-4-imino-derivatives 14a,b [20]. Compounds 13b and 14a,b could only be identified by their IR and MS spectra, as they are insoluble in the common solvents used in NMR. An attempt to prepare 2-amino-4,5-dimethyl-3-(4,5-dihydro-1H-2-imidazolyl)thiophene (15) following a published procedure [21], by reacting 1d with ethylenediamine and carbon disulfide did not yield the expected product 15 and instead the intermediate 16 was obtained (Scheme 4). This intermediate was insoluble in the common solvents used for NMR measurements; but it could be identified by its IR spectrum, which revealed the expected C=S absorption at 1207 cm-1, and by its MS spectral data (the general fragmentation patterns proposed for 16 are shown in Scheme 5). Attempts were also made to prepare 2-methyl-4-methoxythienopyrimidine 17 by reacting 1d,e with acetyl chloride followed with methanol according to a published procedure [20], however, the target compound was not obtained and only the starting material was recovered.

Experimental

General

Melting points were determined using an Electrothermal IA9000 series digital capillary melting point apparatus and are uncorrected. IR spectra were obtained as KBr discs on a 1000-Perkin Elmer FT-IR spectrophotometer. 1H- and 13C-NMR spectra were recorded on a JEOL ECP-400 NMR in CDCl3 (or DMSO-d6) using TMS as an internal standard. Chemical shifts are given in ppm on the δ scale and coupling constants (J) are given in Hz. Electron impact (EI) MS spectra were acquired with the aid of a Shimadzu GCMSQP5050A spectrometer, equipped with a 30 m x 0.25 mm DB-1 glass column, operating with an ionization energy of 70 eV, at the Chemistry Department, College of Science, King Saud University. Compounds 2a-h were synthesized using the reported methods [8,9,13], or in the case of particular examples, by the methods described below.

Method A: Synthesis of 2d:

A mixture of 1b (0.5 g, 2 mmol) and phenyl isothiocyanate (0.27 g, 2 mmol) was placed in a 50 mL beaker covered with a watch glass and then irradiated with microwaves (600 W) for 45 seconds. The cold reaction mixture was treated with ethanol and the solid product was filtered off and recrystallized.

Method B: Synthesis of 2a,d:

A mixture of 1a,b (2 mmol), phenylthiourea (2 mmol) and 5 drops of dry ethanol was placed in a 50 mL beaker, covered with a watch glass, and was then irradiated with microwave (800 W) for 20 seconds. The cold reaction mixture was treated with crushed ice; the solid product was filtered, dried and recrystallized.

General procedure for the synthesis of 4a-g: Method A:

A suspension of potassium salts of 3a-c,e-h in water (50 mL) was acidified with concentrated hydrochloric acid and stirred at room temperature for 30 min. The solid was collected by filtration, washed with water and recrystallized from ethanol to give 4a-g.

Method B: Synthesis of 4d,g.

A mixture of 1b,c (10 mmol) and the appropriate isothiocyanate (10 mmol) in acetonitrile (30 mL) was heated under reflux for 15 h in the presence of anhydrous potassium carbonate (1.4 g). The reaction mixture was then cooled, filtered, diluted with water (10 mL) and neutralized with 2M hydrochloric acid. The product obtained was filtered, washed with water, dried and recrystallized from ethanol to give 4d,g.
