Anthranilic acids synthesis

When treated with alkaline hypochlorite solution anthranilic acid is obtained. This reaction, the first stage in the indigo synthesis, is the most important commercial outlet for phthalimide. 

The benzoic acid derivative 457 is formed by the carbonylation of iodoben-zene in aqueous DMF (1 1) without using a phosphine ligand at room temperature and 1 atm[311]. As optimum conditions for the technical synthesis of the anthranilic acid derivative 458, it has been found that A-acetyl protection, which has a chelating effect, is important[312]. Phase-transfer catalysis is combined with the Pd-catalyzed carbonylation of halides[3l3]. Carbonylation of 1,1-dibromoalkenes in the presence of a phase-transfer catalyst gives the gem-inal dicarboxylic acid 459. Use of a polar solvent is important[314]. Interestingly, addition of trimethylsilyl chloride (2 equiv.) increased yield of the lactone 460 remarkabiy[3l5]. Formate esters as a CO source and NaOR are used for the carbonylation of aryl iodides under a nitrogen atmosphere without using CO[316]. Chlorobenzene coordinated by Cr(CO)j is carbonylated with ethyl formate[3l7]. 

Most condensations of this type start with 2-aminobenzoic acid (anthranilic acid) derivatives. In an early, extensive work on the synthesis and chemistry of dianthranilides", acid chlorides 1 were used as starting materials.2...

Another synthesis of diazepines (tricyclic) was carried out by reaction of an amino chloropyridine 258 and anthranilic acid [163]. First, a nucleophilic substitution occurred (Scheme 95) followed by an intramolecular amidation on compound 259 by microwave irradiation to give structure 260. The reaction was carried out at 100 °C for more than 2 h, a remarkably long time for a microwave-assisted reaction.

It should be also noted that, in a very recent publication, Liu and coworkers were successful in applying microwave radiation within their domino approach towards the synthesis of pyrrolo[2,l-fc]quinazoline alkaloids such as deoxyvasicinone, 8-hy-droxydeoxyvasicinone, mackinazolinone and isaindigotone, which exhibit a promising broad spectrum of biological activities. In the case of isaindigotone, the authors were able to extend their strategy to a three-component procedure, which comprises the domino conversion of anthranilic acids and Boc-protected amino acids into the tricyclic core skeleton [43]. 

The process was also applicable to microwave-assisted reactions. Thus, 140a, 140b, and 140 (R1 = z-Pr, R4 = indol-3-ylmethyl) were prepared in a two-step, one-pot synthesis in yields of 55%, 39%, 20%, and with 70%, 73%, 50% ee, respectively. In the first step anthranilic acid was reacted with the appropriate A-BOC-protected amino acid (glycine, L-alanine, and L-valine, respectively) in the presence of P(OPh)3 and dry pyridine under irradiation at 150 °C for 140a or conventional heating at 55 °C for 140b and 140 (R1 = z-Pr, R4 = indol-3-ylmethyl). In the second step the resulting... 

Tripeptides with N-terminal anthranilic acid part were used as starting materials in the solid-phase synthesis carried out on TentaGel resin to prepare 1,4,11,1 l -tetrahydro-2//-pyrazino[2,l-3]quinazoline-3,6-diones with various N-l and N-3 substituents <2003EPP1471066>. Tandem cyclization from [6+0] atom fragments took place in the solid-phase synthesis of 143 from 142. Intermediate 141 was built on bromoacetal resin (Scheme 17) <1998JOC3162>. 

Cyclocondensation of the iminoethers 157 with anthranilic acid was utilized in the synthesis of compounds 158a, 158b <2004TA3045> and 158 (R2 = indol-3-ylmethyl R1 = (A )-Me, (R)-Me (A)-Pr R4 = H, (A)-Me) resulting in moderate yields with retention of configuration at all stereocenters (Equation 16) <1998T969>. 

A number of new conditions and catalysts have been used for the synthesis of quinazolinones 50 from anthranilic acids, amines and ortho esters, including bismuth trifluoroacetate with an ionic liquid <06TL3561>, lanthanum nitrate or tosic acid under solvent-free conditions at room temperature <06TL4381> and Nafion-H <06SL2507>. 

An alternative but equally cumbersome synthesis utilizes the more accessible bis(2-carboxyphenyl)disulfide, easily prepared from anthranilic acid. Byconversion to the corresponding anilide, then by successive reduction with zinc dust and acetic acid (yielding 2-mercaptobenzoyl anilide) and lithium aluminum hydride, the aldehyde (6) is obtained in fair overall yield.Although... 

Our approach was based on the observation that it is possible to perform SwAr reactions on solid support with amino acids using a solvent system comprised, in equal parts, of acetone and an aqueous 0.5 M NaHC03 solution at temperatures around 70-75°C. Application of this solvent system to the synthesis of quinoxalin-2-ones 6 from la and a-amino acids is described in Section 3.3.2. With respect to the synthesis of 1,5-ben-zodiazepin-2-ones 4, more than 40 examples of aliphatic and aromatic P-amino acids 35 were found to furnish the desired o-nitro anilines 36, about 80% of which were successfully carried on to eventually afford the ben-zodiazepinone products 4 (Scheme 6). In general, the anthranilic acids required slightly harsher conditions to drive the fluorine displacement to completion (75-80°C, 72 h vs. 70-75°C, 24 h for aliphatic P-amino acids).
