Treatment of 6-(hydroxymethyl)furo[2,3-d]pyrimidin-2(3H)-one (2) with 1-iodoalkanes and potassium carbonate resulted in predominant formation of N3 (and minor amounts of O2) alkylated regioisomers. Treatment of the 3-alkyl products (3) with thionyl chloride gave highly reactive 6-chloromethyl intermediates (5). Direct solvolysis of 5 in alcohol solutions (~50 °C) produced 3-alkyl-6-(alkoxymethyl)furopyrimidin-2(3H)-ones (6), whereas extensive decomposition of 5 occurred with added base promoters. Sonication of 5 with sodium thioacetate in acetonitrile gave the air-stable 6-(alkylsulfanylmethyl) intermediates (7), which were subjected to deacetylation (methanolic sodium methoxide) and in situ alkylation to give 3-alkyl-6-(alkylsulfanylmethyl)furo[2,3-d]pyrimidin-2(3H)-ones (8). Lipophilic derivatives of furo[2,3-d]pyrimidin-2(3H)-one are of interest as potential inhibitors of viral penetration of cells.Key words: furo[2,3-d]pyrimidin-2(3H)-ones, alkyl, ether and thioether derivatives of furo[2,3-d]pyrimidin-2(3H)-one.

3'-Chloro and 3'-acetylsulfanyl derivatives of 1-(2-deoxy-4-C-hydroxymethyl-α-L-threo-pentofuranosyl)uracil were prepared by reaction of 2,3'-anhydro-1-{5'-O-benzoyl-4'-C-[(benzoyloxy)methyl]-2'-deoxy-α-L-erythro-pentofuranosyl}uracil (3) with hydrogen chloride and thioacetic acid, respectively. The reaction with hydrogen chloride gave a mixture of N-1 and N-3 substituted uracil derivatives 12 and 14. Reaction of 1-{3-O-benzoyl-4-C-[(benzoyloxy)methyl]-2-deoxy-α-L-threo-pentofuranosyl}uracil (7) with thionyl chloride and subsequent debenzoylation afforded 1-(4-C-chloromethyl-2-deoxy-β-D-erythro-pentofuranosyl)uracil (19). Nucleophilic substitution with lithium thioacetate, followed by deacylation, converted 1-{3-O-benzoyl-4-C-[(benzoyloxy)methyl]-2-deoxy-5-O-p-toluenesulfonyl-α-L-threo-pentofuranosyl}uracil (9) into 1-(2-deoxy-4-C-sulfanylmethyl-β-D-erythro-pentofuranosyl)uracil (21). The obtained thiols were oxidized with iodine or air to give 1,1'-[disulfandiylbis(2,3-dideoxy-4-hydroxymethyl-α-L-threo-pentofuranose-3,1-diyl]di(pyrimidine-2,4-(1H,3H)-dione) (17) and 1,1'-[disulfandiylbis(2,5-dideoxy-4-hydroxymethyl-α-L-threo-pentofuranose-5,1-diyl]di(pyrimidine-2,4(1H,3H)-dione) (22). Reaction of 1-{3-acetylsulfanyl-5-O-methanesulfonyl-4-C-[(benzoyloxy)methyl]-2,3-dideoxy-α-L-threo-pentofuranosyl)}uracil (24) with methanolic sodium methoxide afforded 1-(3,5-anhydro-2,3-dideoxy-4-C-hydroxymethyl-3-sulfanyl-α-L-threo-pentofuranosyl)uracil (25). The same reagent was used in the preparation of 1-(3,5-anhydro-2-deoxy-4-C-hydroxymethyl-α-L-threo-pentofuranosyl)uracil (26) from 1-{4-C-[(benzoyloxy)methyl]-2-deoxy-5-O-p-toluenesulfonyl-α-L-threo-pentofuranosyl}uracil (8). From the series of 4'-substituted 2'-deoxyuridine derivatives, synthesized in this study, solely the 4'-chloromethyl derivative 19 and the oxetane derivative 26 exhibited an appreciable activity against HIV-1 and HIV-2.

Condensation of anhydrides Ia-d with primary amines, 2-hydroxyethylamine or formamide gave imides III-XXII. The formation of N-(2-hydroxyethyl)imides was accompanied by replacement of the aromatic hydroxy group at position 1 by a 2-hydroxyethylamine residue (XX, XXII. Reaction of the imides XIX and XX with thionyl chloride produced the corresponding 2-chloroethyl derivatives XXIII and XXIV. Alkylation of the imide II, or its alkali salt prepared in situ, by ethyl bromacetate in a homogenous medium or by 2-(N,N-diethylamino)ethyl chloride in a biphasic medium, gave the imides XXV and XXVI, respectively. Condensation of the anhydrides Ia and/or Id with 1,2-diaminobenzene gave the respective imides XIII and XIV, and pentacyclic derivatives of 12H-benz(f)isoindole[2,1-a]benzimidazole-12-one (XXVII and XXVIII, respectively) as mixtures of positional isomers. In biological evaluation for antineoplastic efficiacy in animals with experimental tumours the imide XX proved to have the widest range of application.

Alkylation of derivatives of 4-aryl-1-naphthols (I-V) by 2,3-epoxypropyl chloride in methanolic sodium hydroxide gave epoxy derivatives VI, VIII, IX, XI and XII, apart from products of cleavage of the oxirane ring, VII and X. Analogous alkylation of compounds I, IV and V by 2-(N,N-diethylamino)ethyl chloride hydrochloride in a two-phase medium afforded basic ethers XIII to XV. The cleavage of the oxirane ring in compound VI by the action of primary and secondary amines, piperidine and substituted piperazines led to compounds XVI-XXIV. Reaction of thionyl chloride with compounds XXI, XXII and XXIV gave chloro derivatives XXV-XXVII.Exposure of compound XXII to 4-methylbenzenesulfonyl chloride produced compound XXVIII, retaining the secondary alcoholic group. In an antineoplastic screening in vivo none of the compounds prepared had an appreciable activity. Compound XVII, being an analogue of propranolol, was used in the test of isoproterenolic tachycardia, and showed a beta-lytic effect comparable with that of propranol.

Fluoride anion was demonstrated as a superior activator of elemental sulfur (S8) to perform sulfurization of thioketones leading to diverse sulfur-rich heterocycles. Due to solubility problems, reactions must be carried out either in THF using tetrabutylammonium fluoride (TBAF) or in DMF using cesium fluoride (CsF), respectively. The reactive sulfurizing reagents are in situ generated, nucleophilic fluoropolysulfide anions FS(8−x)−, which react with the C=S bond according to the carbophilic addition mode. Dithiiranes formed thereby, existing in an equilibrium with the ring-opened form (diradicals/zwitterions) are key-intermediates, which undergo either a step-wise dimerization to afford 1,2,4,5-tetrathianes or an intramolecular insertion, leading in the case of thioxo derivatives of 2,2,4,4-tetramethylcyclobutane-1,3-dione to ring enlarged products. In reactions catalyzed by TBAF, water bounded to fluoride anion via H-bridges and forming thereby its stable hydrates is involved in secondary reactions leading, e.g., in the case of 2,2,4,4-tetramethyl-3-thioxocyclobutanone to the formation of some unexpected products such as the ring enlarged dithiolactone and ring-opened dithiocarboxylate. In contrast to thioketones, the fluoride anion catalyzed sulfurization of their α,β-unsaturated analogues, i.e., thiochalcones is slow and inefficient. However, an alternative protocol with triphenylphosphine (PPh3) applied as a catalyst, offers an attractive approach to the synthesis of 3H-1,2-dithioles via 1,5-dipolar electrocyclization of the in situ-generated α,β-unsaturated thiocabonyl S-sulfides. All reactions occur under mild conditions and can be considered as attractive methods for the preparation of sulfur rich heterocycles with diverse ring-size.

The trans-2-deoxyribosylation of 4-thiouracil (4SUra) and 2-thiouracil (2SUra), as well as 6-azauracil, 6-azathymine and 6-aza-2-thiothymine was studied using dG and E. coli purine nucleoside phosphorylase (PNP) for the in situ generation of 2-deoxy-α-D-ribofuranose-1-phosphate (dRib-1P) followed by its coupling with the bases catalyzed by either E. coli thymidine (TP) or uridine (UP) phosphorylases. 4SUra revealed satisfactory substrate activity for UP and, unexpectedly, complete inertness for TP; no formation of 2’-deoxy-2-thiouridine (2SUd) was observed under analogous reaction conditions in the presence of UP and TP. On the contrary, 2SU, 2SUd, 4STd and 2STd are good substrates for both UP and TP; moreover, 2SU, 4STd and 2’-deoxy-5-azacytidine (Decitabine) are substrates for PNP and the phosphorolysis of the latter is reversible. Condensation of 2SUra and 5-azacytosine with dRib-1P (Ba salt) catalyzed by the accordant UP and PNP in Tris∙HCl buffer gave 2SUd and 2’-deoxy-5-azacytidine in 27% and 15% yields, respectively. 6-Azauracil and 6-azathymine showed good substrate properties for both TP and UP, whereas only TP recognizes 2-thio-6-azathymine as a substrate. 5-Phenyl and 5-tert-butyl derivatives of 6-azauracil and its 2-thioxo derivative were tested as substrates for UP and TP, and only 5-phenyl- and 5-tert-butyl-6-azauracils displayed very low substrate activity. The role of structural peculiarities and electronic properties in the substrate recognition by E. coli nucleoside phosphorylases is discussed.

2-Nitro, 3-nitro- and 4-nitrobenzoyl chloride were reacted with 1-benzylpiperazine in benzene in the presence of triethylamine and gave the amides IV-VI, the first of which is considered a bioisostere of the antidepressant agent piberaline (I). 2-Dimethylamino-, 3-dimethylamino- and 4-dimethylaminobenzoic acid were treated with thionyl chloride in benzene in the presence of triethylamine or pyridine, and the acid chlorides formed were reacted in situ with 1-benzylpiperazine affording the amides VII-IX. The amides I and IV-VI were transformed by treatment with phosphorus pentasulfide in pyridine to the thioamides X-XIII. 4-(Dimethylaminomethyl)benzoic acid was reacted with 1-benzylpiperazine in dimethylformamide in the presence of N,N'-carbonyldiimidazole and afforded the amide XIV. Heating of ethyl 5-methylimidazole-4-carboxylate with 1-benzylpiperazine to 200-210 °C gave the amide XV together with the unexpected 1-benzyl-4-ethylpiperazine (XVI). The oily or crystalline bases of the amino amides or thioamides were mostly transformed to crystalline salts and characterized by spectra. Out of the compounds prepared only X (V⁄FB-17 070) and XIV (V⁄FB-17 114) showed indications of efficacy in tests which are considered indicative of antidepressant activity. Compounds VII, VIII, and X appeared to be mildly antidopaminergic - similarly like piberaline (I), and compounds IV, V, XI, XIV, and XV on the contrary showed signs of dopaminominetic activity.
