Synthesis of Azaheterocyclic Cymantrene Derivatives

The reduction of acetylcymantrene with sodium tetrahydridoborate gave cymantrenylethanol which was acylated with 4,5-dichloroisothiazole- and 5-(4-methylphenyl)isoxazole-3-carbonyl chlorides to obtain esters containing a 1,2-thia(oxa)zole fragment. The condensation of acetylcymantrene with 5-arylisoxazole-3- carbaldehydes, (5-arylisoxazol-3-yl)methoxybenzaldehydes (Ar = Ph, 4-Tol), and 4,5-dichloroisothiazole-3- carbaldehyde afforded the corresponding (E)-3-(azol-3-yl)-1-cymantrenylprop-2-en-1-ones. The resulting α,β- unsaturated ketones reacted with semicarbazide hydrochloride and thiosemicarbazide to produce substituted 4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazole-1-carboxamides and -1-carbothioamides, and their reaction with hydroxylamine hydrochloride led to the formation of 4,5-dihydroisoxazoles containing cymantrene and 1,2-azole fragments. Heterocyclization of azolylcymantrenylpropenones with guanidine gave 2-aminopyrimidine derivatives, and dihydropyrimidine-2-thiones were obtained by their reaction with thiourea. © 2018, Pleiades Publishing, Ltd.
