Phthalazine-5,8-diones

Dienophilic cyclic a-carbonylazo compounds (triazoline diones, indazolone, phthalazine dione) prepared in a flow cell, by anodic oxidation of the corresponding hydrazino compounds in acidic methanol or acetonitrile, react with dienes (Scheme 50) [72, 73].

NBS is a better oxidant than LTA for producing the unstable 1,4-phthalazine-dione, which then reacts as a dienophiie with butadiene. The product can be brominat i-dehydrobrominated to give the fully unsaturated product. Irradiation at low temperature of a compound having two suitably placed azide groups creates a new pyridazine ring in high yield. 

The same substrate (103) with iV,/V -bis[(m-acetoxymethyl)phenyl]hydrazine gave 2,3-bis[(m-acetoxymethyl)phenyl]-1,4(2//,3//)-phthalazinedione (105) (synthon, PhNMe2 substrate., N2, exothermic, 70°C, 5 h 83%) or with o-fluorobenzohydrazide gave 2-(o-fluorobenzoyl)-l,4(2//,3//)-phthalazine-dione (106) (synthon, Et3N, Me2NCHO, substrate]., exothermic to 70 C,... 

This type of cyclocondensation is represented only by a somewhat specialized example. Thus methyl p-benzoquinone-2-carboxylate (121) with A-acetonylidene-M-methyDiydrazine (122) gave 4-acetyl-5,8-dihydroxy-2-methyl-l(2Ff)-phthalazi-none (123) [or its tautomer, 4-acetyl-8-hydroxy-2-methyl-l,5(2H,3fl) phthalazine-dione] (MeOH, 20°C, 12 h 50%). °... 

These simple substrates react with hydrazines to give l,4(2//,3//)-phthalazine-diones, as illustrated in the following examples. 

Dihydro-2//-pyrimido[2,l-a]phthalazine-7(6//)-one (331) suffered acylative ring fission to give 2-(3-acetamidopropyl)-3-acetyl-1,4(2//,3f0-phthalazine-dione (332) (AC2O, reflux for further details, see original). ...

When large groups, such as phenyl, bromo, ethoxycarbonyl or nitro are attached at position 3, the principal products are l-alkylcinnolin-4(l/f)-ones. Cyanoethylation and acetylation of cinnolin-4(l/f)-one takes place exclusively at N-1. Phthalazin-l(2/f)-ones give 2-substituted derivatives on alkylation and acylation. Alkylation of 4-hydroxyphthala2in-l(2/f)-one with an equimolar amount of primary halide in the presence of a base leads to 2-alkyl-4-hydroxyphthalazin-l(2/f)-one and further alkylation results in the formation of 4-alkoxy-2-alkylphthalazinone. Methylation of 4-hydroxy-2-methyl-phthalazinone with dimethyl sulfate in aqueous alkali gives a mixture of 4-methoxy-2-methylphthalazin-l(2/f)-one and 2,3-dimethylphthalazine-l,4(2//,3//)-dione, whereas methylation of 4-methoxyphthalazin-l(2/f)-one under similar conditions affords only 4-methoxy-2-methylphthalazinone.

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... 

The steric course of electrophilic additions of BrN3, IN3, and iV-bromosuccinimide (NBS) to the tetrahydropyridazine ring of benzo[g]pyridazino[l,2- ]phthalazine-6,13-dione system, for example, 130, has been studied and the results are shown in Scheme 12 <1997CJC348>. 

Palladium-catalyzed hydroarylation of sterically hindered PTAD adduct 157 with aryl halides in the presence of triphenylarsine, sodium acetate, and DMSO provides a 1 1 mixture of 170 and 171. The same reaction done with sodium fluoride and formic acid provides mixtures containing 171 as the major product. Apparently, the use of sodium fluoride as a base allows the selective formation of the opening products 171 in good yields (Equation 19). Similarly, the 2,3-phthalazine-l,4-dione adduct 172 provides the corresponding products 173 and 174 (Equation 20) <2002AGE3375>. 

Six-membered ring ADC compounds can be generated by oxidation of the corresponding cyclic hydrazides. Pyridazine-3,6-dione (12) and phthalazine-1,4-dione (13, R = H), often called diazaquinones,4 are stable in solution only at low temperature, but can be generated, and intercepted at higher temperatures.39-43 Fusion of an extra benzene ring increases stability44 and the tetracyclic compound 14 is relatively stable.45 Substituted phthala-zine-l,4-diones have been widely studied because of their involvement in... 

It is the combination of exceptional reactivity and reasonable stability, either as a solid or in solution, that makes PTAD such an ideal dienophile. However, PTAD is decomposed to N2, CO and phenyl isocyanate by the action of UV light.61 The cyclic ADC compounds (6-23) all undergo the Diels-Alder reaction, although with the exception of phthalazine-l,4-dione (13, R = H), they have been used only occasionally. l,3,4-Thiadiazole-2,5-dione (11) is of comparable reactivity to PTAD,38 but like the other cyclic compounds (6-23) has the slight disadvantage in that it has to be generated in situ. 

Indene, however, does give four-membered ring adducts with PTAD,69 and phthalazine-t,4-dione.70 The reaction with PTAD proceeds stepwise via the dipolar intermediate 43, which was trapped in the presence of water to give 44, under conditions in which the 1,2-diazetidine (45) was not opened by water to 44 (Scheme 5).69 Hydrolytic cleavage of the triazole ring in 45 using potassium rm-butoxide in wet dimethyl sulfoxide, followed by... 

Dihydroxypyridazines are readily prepared from the diene 103 and DEAZD or PTAD,159 and the amino acid 104, a constituent of the Monamycin antibiotics, was synthesized from the Diels-Alder adduct of phthalazine-l,4-dione and penta-2,4-dienoic acid.160 These unusual amino acids can also be synthesized from the PTAD and parent HTAD adducts of penta-2,4-dienoic acid,161 and a variety of similar adducts, triazolo-pyridazines 105, has been synthesized from a wide range of 4-substituted 1,2,4-triazole-3,5-diones.162... 

In a synthesis of nucleoside analogs, the sodium salts of phthalazine-l,4-dione, phthalazin-l(2//)-one, and two pyridazin-3(2//)-ones, prepared with sodium hydride in DMF, were alkylated with ( )-2,3-0-isopropylidene-l-0-(4-toluenesulfonyl)glycerol by a nucleophilic substitution of the tosyloxy group <1999AP327>. 

An aza analog of phthalazine 240 (pyrido[3,4-r/]pyridazine skeleton) was obtained via intramolecular addition-elimination reaction in azaphthalohydrazide 239 with the loss of hydrazine (Equation 56) <1997T8225>. In a similar approach also the 5,6-dihydro[l,2,3]triazolo[4,5-r/]pyridazin-4,7-dione skeleton was constructed <2002JHC889>. 

Phthalazine-l,4-diones have been prepared by nucleophilic cleavage of polystyrene-bound phthalimides (Entry 7, Table 15.27). The reaction rate proved to be highly dependent on the solvent used, being low in EtOH but high in DCM. Using DMF as solvent, no phthalazinediones could be isolated [325]. Hexahydropyridazines have been prepared on cross-linked polystyrene in low yields by treatment of support-bound 1-acyloxy-l, 3-dienes with diimide [326].
