Zur Oxidation von 1,2-Thiazolen: Ein einfacher Zugang zu 1,2-Thiazol-3(2H)-on-1,1-dioxiden

5-Arylisothiazol-3(2H)-one-1,(1)-(di)oxides: A new class of selective tumor-associated carbonic anhydrases (hCA IX and XII) inhibitors

Sixteen 5-aryl-substituted isothiazol-3(2H)-one-1,(1)-(di)oxide analogs have been prepared from the corresponding 5-chloroisothiazol-3(2H)-one-1-oxide or -1,1-dioxide by a Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reaction and screened for their inhibition potency against four human carbonic anhydrase isoenzymes: the transmembrane tumor-associated hCA IX and XII and the cytosolic off-target hCA I and II. Most of the synthesized derivatives inhibited hCA IX and XII isoforms in nanomolar range, whereas remained inactive or modestly active against both hCA I and II isoenzymes. In the N-tert-butylisothiazolone series, the 5-phenyl-substituted analog (1a) excelled in the inhibition of tumor-associated hCA IX and XII (K_i = 4.5 and K_i = 4.3 nM, respectively) with excellent selectivity against off target hCA I and II isoenzymes (S > 2222 and S > 2325, respectively). Since the highest inhibition activities were observed with N-tert-butyl derivatives, lacking a zinc-binding group, we suppose to have a new binding mode situated out of the active site. Additionally, three free-NH containing analogs (3a, 4a, 3i) have also been prepared in order to study the impact of free-NH containing N-acyl-sulfinamide- (-SO-NH-CO-) or N-acyl-sulfonamide-type (-SO₂-NH-CO-) derivatives on the inhibitory potency and selectivity. Screening experiments evidenced 5-phenylisothiazol-3(2H)-one-1,1-dioxide (4a), the closest saccharin analog, to be the most active derivative with inhibition constants of K_i = 40.3 nM and K_i = 9.6 nM against hCA IX and hCA XII, respectively. The promising biological results support the high potential of 5-arylisothiazolinone-1,(1)-(di)oxides to be exploited for the design of potent and cancer-selective carbonic anhydrase inhibitors.

Multicomponent reaction for the first synthesis of 2,2-dialkyl- and 2-alkyl-2-aralkyl-5,6-diaryl-2H-1,3-thiazines as scaffolds for various 3,4-dihydro-2H-1,3-thiazine derivatives

2H-1,3-thiazines, prepared via a novel and efficient multicomponent reaction, can be used as scaffolds for the synthesis of diverse 3,4-dihydro-2H-1,3-thiazines.

Novel Synthesis, Reactivity, and Stereochemistry of Substituted 3-Trifluoromethyl- and 3-Perfluoroalkyl-3-phenoxyprop-2-enal

Substituted 3-phenoxy-3-perfluoroalkylprop-2-enals 3a-s are synthesized in high yields starting from a gem-iodoacetoxy derivative 1 and phenoxides 2. Then efficient syntheses of push-pull derivatives 4, 5,8a,b, and nonconjugated analogues 6 and 7 illustrate the synthetic potentialities of 3. Stereochemical studies of these perfluoroalkyl-containing trisubstituted olefinic derivatives 3-8b revealed that the (4)J(CF) coupling constant observed in the (13)C NMR spectra was crucial in the determination of their configurations and conformations in solution. The solvent polarity effect on the stereochemistry of push-pull compounds 3-5 and 8a,b was studied. Unusual significant medium polarity effect on the stereochemistry of imino enol ether derivative 4 was observed.

Cyclic and acyclic sulfonimides in reactions with Rh(ii)-ketocarbenoids: a new access to chemoselective O-functionalization of the imidic carbonyl groups

Catalytic decomposition of diazoacetylacetone, diazoacetoacetic, diazomalonic, and diazoacetic esters using dirhodium tetraacetate in the presence of isothiazol-3(2H)-one 1,1-dioxides and a number of N-(arenesulfonyl)carboxamides in solutions of methylene chloride or dichloroethane gives rise to O-alkylation of the imidic carbonyl groups by Rh(II)-carbenoids and the formation of O-alkylimidates as the final products. The reaction proceeds with high chemoselectivity via carbonyl ylides and offers a powerful method for the synthesis in good yields of the imidates with polyfunctional O-alkyl groups. On the basis of X-ray analysis and 1H- and 13C-NMR studies it was shown that the resulting acyclic O-alkylimidates have the E-configuration in the solid state and in solution. Unlike acyclic analogues, the cyclic carbonyl ylide derived from substituted diazosaccharin by intramolecular cyclization of the appropriate diketocarbenoid is capable of reacting with DMAD in a 1,3-cycloaddition process.
