Aryl-dione

This chapter presents an insight into recent developments in biochemistry and resistance mechanisms of ACC and gives an overview of the aryl-diones (ADs) as a novel class of ACC inhibitors. In addition, the industrial synthesis, biology and metabolism of pinoxaden is described.

Another synthesis of the cortisol side chain from a C17-keto-steroid is shown in Figure 20. Treatment of a C3-protected steroid 3,3-ethanedyidimercapto-androst-4-ene-ll,17-dione [112743-82-5] (144) with a tnhaloacetate, 2inc, and a Lewis acid produces (145). Addition of a phenol and potassium carbonate to (145) in refluxing butanone yields the aryl vinyl ether (146). Concomitant reduction of the C20-ester and the Cll-ketone of (146) with lithium aluminum hydride forms (147). Deprotection of the C3-thioketal, followed by treatment of (148) with y /(7-chlotopetben2oic acid, produces epoxide (149). Hydrolysis of (149) under acidic conditions yields cortisol (29) (181).

A more practical solution to this problem was reported by Larson, in which the amide substrate 20 was treated with oxalyl chloride to afford a 2-chlorooxazolidine-4,5-dione 23. Reaction of this substrate with FeCL affords a reactive A-acyl iminium ion intermediate 24, which undergoes an intramolecular electrophilic aromatic substitution reaction to provide 25. Deprotection of 25 with acidic methanol affords the desired dihydroisoquinoline products 22. This strategy avoids the problematic nitrilium ion intermediate, and provides generally good yields of 3-aryl dihydroisoquinolines. 

An ingenious synthesis of 1-arylisoindolcs has been developed by Vebor and Lwowski, based upon the reaction of an o-phthalimido-methylbenzophenone (41, R = aryl) with hydrazine (Table IV). The benzophenone is prepared by a Friedel-Crafts reaction with o-phthalimidomethylbenzoyl chloride (40). The mechanism of isoindole formation can be represented sehematically by a sequence involving attack by hydrazine at the imide to give the ring-opened hj drazide (42), followed by cyclization to phthalazine-l,4-dione (44) with displacement of the o-aminomethylbenzophenone (43). Intramolecular condensation of the latter can lead, via the isoindolenine... 

Cyclization of the 5-(A -arylcarboxamido)-4-hydrazino-6methylpyrim-idin-2-ones 104 with two molar equivalents of formaldehyde in the presence of pyridine caused the concomittant triazole and pyrimidine ring formation to yield the 4-aryl-l,3,4,10-tetrahydro-6-methyl-l,2,4-tria-zolo-[2,3,4-c,d]pyrimido[4,5-d]pyrimidine-5,8-diones 105 (89AP599)... 

An unusual method for the preparation of 3-(trifluoromethyl)-4-aryl-furazans 49a,b in 47-77% yield has been reported (99H627) (Scheme 19). Thus, dehydration of l,l,l-trifluoroalkane-2,3-dione dioximes 48a,b was accomplished on heating with silica gel. If, as in 48b, Ar was an electron-withdrawing moiety, the conversion proceeded more smoothly. The dehydration of the same dioximes using traditional methods failed. 

Semiempirical PM 3 MO calculations were performed on eight 4-aryl-2,3,5,6,7,8-hexahydro-l//-pyrido[l,2-c]pyrimidin-l,3-diones and on their dimers (00JPO213). In all of the calculated structures the aromatic ring is almost perpendicular to the plane of the pyrido[l,2-c]pyrimidin-l,3-dione fragment, which is in accordance with the X-ray data for 4-(4-methylphenyl) derivative. 

Characteristic H NMR data of (4a/ ,55)- and (4n5,5R)-2-substituted 5- [A-(/e/ /-butoxycarbonyl)-L-tryptophyl]amino perhydropyrido[l,2-c]pyri-midine-l,3-diones were tabulated (01JMC2219). C CPMASS NMR data of 4-(4-methoxyphenyl)perhydropyrido[l,2-c]pyrimidine were reported (00JST73). C NMR data were reported for eight 4-aryl-2,3,5,6,7,8-hexahydro-l//-pyrido[l,2-c]pyrimidin-l,3-diones in the solid state and in CDCI3 solution (00JPO213). The structure of 4-aryl-3,4-dihydro-2//-pyrido [l,2-c]pyrimidine-l,3-diones and their 2,3,5,6,7,8-hexahydro derivatives were characterized by H and C NMR data (99JHC389). Conformational analysis of 6-methyl-2,3,4,6,7,ll/)-hexahydro-l//-pyrimido[6,l-n]isoquino-lin-2-ones 138 and 139 were carried out by H and C NMR studies (97LA1165). 

Cyclocondensation of a-aryl-2-pyridylacetamides and 2-(3,4-dihydroiso-quinolin-l-yl)acetamide with Et2C03 in the presence of NaOEt in boiling EtOH afforded 4-aryl-2,3-dihydro-l//-pyrido[l,2-c]pyrimidine-l,3-diones (99JHC389) and 6,7-dihydro-4//-pyrimido[6,1 -a]isoquinoline-2,4-dione (98MIP15), respectively. 

Substituted 4-aryl-1 -oxo-1,2-dihydropyrazino[l, 2-i]isoquinolinium salts 402 were obtained when 3-substituted isoquinolines 401 were cleaved from a polymer by treatment 25% TFA (00MIP5). c/i-3,lla-H-3-Phenyl-1,2,3,4,11,11 fl-hexahydropyrazino[l, 2-i]isoquinoline-1,4-dione (404) formed when isoquinoline derivative 403 was cleaved from a resin with 25% TFA during an automated solid-phase synthesis (98BMCL2369). 

The first series of soluble oligo(/ ara-phenylene)s OPVs 24 were generated by Kern and Wirth [48] and shortly after by Heitz and Ulrich [49]. They introduced alkyl substituents (methyls) in each repeat unit and synthesized oligomers 24 up to the hexamer. Various synthetic methods, like the copper-catalyzed Ullmann coupling, the copper-catalyzed condensation of lithium aryls, and the twofold addition of organomelallic species to cyclohexane-1,4-dione, have been thereby investigated. 

The first reported chiral catalysts allowing the enantioselective addition of diethylzinc to aryl aldehydes in up to 60% cc were the palladium and cobalt complexes of 1,7,7-trimethylbicy-clo[2.2.1. ]heptane-2,3-dione dioxime (A,B)3. A number of other, even more effective catalysts, based on the camphor structure (C K, Table 26) have been developed. 

In the case of a diketone (e.g., 3-tosyloxypentane-2,4-dione), the formation of 5-acetyl-4-methyl-2-aryl-l,3-thiazole derivatives can be realized in very good yields (86-89%) (Scheme 7). All these experiments where performed in a Sears Kenmore unmodified household microwave oven (990 W) equipped with a turntable. The average bulk temperature was estimated by inserting a thermometer in the alumina bath housing the reaction vessel. 

N-Arylpiperazin-2-ones, N-arylpiperazin-2,5-diones and N-aryl-3,4-dihydro-quinolin-2(lff)-ones have been synthesized via a microwave-enhanced Goldberg reaction [105]. N-arylation reactions with 4-benzylpiperazin-2-one and 4-benzylpiperazin-2,5-dione performed in the microwave (reflux conditions) were tremendously accelerated in comparison with the same transformations performed under classical heating at reflux (Schemes 103 and 104). The phenylation of 3,4-dihydroquinolin-2(lH)-one under microwave irradiation was also faster but less pronounced. 

Homoenolate Reactivity The ability to generate homoenolates from enals and its application to the preparation of y-butyrolactones 30, through reaction with an aldehyde or aryl trifluoromethyl ketone, was reported independently by Glorius [8], and Bode and Burstein [9] (Scheme 12.4). A sterically demanding NHC catalyst is required to promote reactivity at the d terminus and to prevent competitive benzoin dimerisation. Nair and co-workers have reported a similar spiro-y-lactone formation reaction using cyclic 1,2-diones, including cyclohexane-1,2-dione and substituted isatin derivatives [10].
