Abstract

:
2–Amino–4-phenyl–5,6,7,8–tetrahydroquinoline–3–carbonitrile (3) was synthesized by treating cyclohexanone (1) with 2–benzylidenemalononitrile (2) in the presence of ammonium acetate. The reactivity of compound 3 towards dimethylformamide dimethyl acetal (DMF-DMA), carbon disulfide, urea, thiourea, formamide, formic acid, acetyl chloride and isothiocyanate were studied. In addition, the antimicrobial activity of some selected derivatives is reported.

Introduction

Pyrimidoquinolines are important compounds because of their biological properties, which are known to depend mainly on the nature and position of substituents, and include antimalarial [1], anticancer [2], antimicrobial [3,4], and anti-inflammatory activities [5,6]. Recently there has also been considerable interest in the synthesis and chemistry of tetrahydroquinolines and their fused derivatives [7,8,9,10,11]. Our aim in the work presented herein was to synthesize pyrimido[4,5-b]quinolines using tetrahydroqinolinecarbonitriles as building blocks. Such a synthesis of condensed azines is of biological interest due to the formal isoelectronic relationship that exists between the pyrimidine ring and tetrahydroquinoline [12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23].

Results and Discussion

Treatment of cyclohexanone (1) with the α,β-unsaturated nitrile derivative 2 in the presence of ammonium acetate afforded the tetrahydroquinoline derivative 3. The structure of 3 was unambiguously confirmed by X-ray crystallography (cf. Figure 1 and Table 1). On the other hand, compounds 4a,b could be obtained upon reaction of 1 with 2 in absolute ethanol in the presence of p-chloroaniline or p-hydroxyaniline (Scheme 1).

Compound 3 reacted with DMF-DMA in dioxane to afford compound 5, whose structure was also unambiguously confirmed by X-ray crystallography (Figure 2 and Table 2). When compound 5 was refluxed with hydrazine hydrate in absolute ethanol it yielded the corresponding 3–amino–4(3H) imino–5-phenyl–6,7,8,9–tetrahydropyrimido[4, 5-b]quinoline (7) through the intermediate 6 (Scheme 2).

Compound 3 reacted with thiourea or urea in an ethanol/sodium ethoxide mixture for 6 h to afford the 4–amino–10–phenyl–6, 7, 8, 9–tetrahydropyrimido[4,5-b]quinoline–2(1H)–thione/one derivatives 9a and 9b (Scheme 3). The reaction products 9 were formed via the intermediate 8 by loss of an ammonia molecule, followed by an intramolecular addition to the cyano function to give the final isolated products 9a,b.
The target ring system 12 was synthesized by reaction of 3 with carbon disulfide through the intermediates 10 and 11, whose subsequent rearrangement leads to the fused pyrimidinedithione 12.

Compound 3 reacted with formic acid to yield 13, which was treated with alkaline hydrogen peroxide to give the corresponding cyclized pyrimidoquinoline derivative 15 via the intermediate 14. The reaction proceeds by initial hydration of the nitrile group to give a carboxamide, which then undergoes cyclization in the alkaline medium. The structures of both 13 and 15 were confirmed by elemental and spectral analyses. Meanwhile, acylation of 3 with acid chloride gave 2–methyl–5–phenyl–6,7,8,9–tetrahydropyrimido[4,5-b]quinolin–4–(3H)one (18) through the intermediates 16 and 17 (Scheme 4).

In addition, compound 3 was refluxed with excess formamide to afford 4–amino–5-phenyl–6,7,8,9–tetrahydropyrimido[4,5-b]quinoline (19) (Scheme 4). The structure of the reaction product was established based on its elemental analysis and spectra data. Both isocyanates and isothiocyanates reacted with 3 to give initially the corresponding substituted ureido or thioureido derivatives 20a,b, which readily cyclized to give the corresponding fused heterocyclic systems 21a,b (Scheme 5). The same reaction products 21a,b could be obtained in a one step reaction through prolonged heating of 3 with phenylisocyanate or phenyl isothiocyanate in DMF containing a catalytic amount of TEA. Finally, compound 3 reacted with benzoylisothiocyanate to yield 22, which then cyclized into 23 which undergoes a Dimroth rearrangement to give 24 (Scheme 5).

Biological Activity

Screening of antimicrobial activity was performed at the Microbiology Lab of the National Research Center. Representative derivatives 3, 4a, 4b, 7, 9a, 12, 13, 15, 18, 20, 22 and 24 were selected and tested for their antimicrobial activity against three yeasts (Candida albicans, Aspergillus niger and Saccharomyces cervisiae) and two bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus and Esherichia coli ) using the modified agar diffusion cylinder method [24]. The results are given in Table 3.

Conclusions

The varied biological activities of tetrahydropyrimidoquinoline derivatives prompted us to synthesize some new compounds and study their antimicrobial activities. The antifungal activity assays showed that compounds 12, 20a, 22 and 24 display moderate activity against C. albicans, while compound 9a shows strong activity against A. niger and compound 13 shows strong activity against S. cerevisiae. The bactericidal activity studies revealed that compounds 4a and 7 show moderate activities against S. aureus.

Experimental

General

All melting points are uncorrected. Elemental analyses were carried out in the Microanalytical Center, Cairo University, Giza, Egypt. IR spectra (KBr) were recorded on Pye Unicam SP 1200 Spectrophotometer. 1H-NMR spectra were recorded in CDCl3 or DMSO- d6 on a 90 MHz Varian NMR Spectrometer using TMS as an internal standard and chemical shifts are expressed as δ ppm units. The mass spectra were determined with HP model MS-5988 at electron energy 70 eV. The homogeneity of all compounds synthesized was checked by TLC on 2.0cm x 6.0cm aluminum sheets recoated with silica gel 60 containing a fluorescent indicator, to a thickness of 0.25. Characterization data of the various compounds prepared are given in Table 4 and Table 5.
