Reactivity of 2-Methyl-4H-3,1-benzoxazin-4-ones and 2-Methyl-4H-pyrido[2,3-d][1,3]oxazin-4-one under Microwave Irradiation Conditions

Novel Multi-Target Agents Based on the Privileged Structure of 4-Hydroxy-2-quinolinone

In this work, the privileged scaffold of 4-hydroxy-2quinolinone is investigated through the synthesis of carboxamides and hybrid derivatives, as well as through their bioactivity evaluation, focusing on the ability of the molecules to inhibit the soybean LOX, as an indication of their anti-inflammatory activity. Twenty-one quinolinone carboxamides, seven novel hybrid compounds consisting of the quinolinone moiety and selected cinnamic or benzoic acid derivatives, as well as three reverse amides are synthesized and classified as multi-target agents according to their LOX inhibitory and antioxidant activity. Among all the synthesized analogues, quinolinone-carboxamide compounds 3h and 3s, which are introduced for the first time in the literature, exhibited the best LOX inhibitory activity (IC50 = 10 μM). Furthermore, carboxamide 3g and quinolinone hybrid with acetylated ferulic acid 11e emerged as multi-target agents, revealing combined antioxidant and LOX inhibitory activity (3g: IC50 = 27.5 μM for LOX inhibition, 100% inhibition of lipid peroxidation, 67.7% ability to scavenge hydroxyl radicals and 72.4% in the ABTS radical cation decolorization assay; 11e: IC50 = 52 μM for LOX inhibition and 97% inhibition of lipid peroxidation). The in silico docking results revealed that the synthetic carboxamide analogues 3h and 3s and NDGA (the reference compound) bind at the same alternative binding site in a similar binding mode.

Pd-Catalyzed Carbonylative Synthesis of 4H-Benzo[d][1,3]Oxazin-4-Ones Using Benzene-1,3,5-Triyl Triformate as the CO Source

A facile synthesis of 4H-benzo[d][1,3]oxazin-4-one derivatives by Pd-catalyzed carbonylative cross-coupling between N-(ortho-bromoaryl)amides and benzene-1,3,5-triyl triformate (TFBen) was developed. This procedure does not require the toxic and flammable gas CO as the carbonyl source and tolerates a wide scope of functional groups. Remarkably, 4H-benzo[d][1,3]oxazin-4-ones incorporated to natural products and drugs can be constructed by this method.

Step-economical synthesis of 3-amido-2-quinolones by dendritic copper powder-mediated one-pot reaction

The one-pot protocol by the dendritic copper powder-mediated Knoevenagel condensation/annelation is delineated here for the synthesis of 3-amido-2-quinolones. It is practical with moisture tolerance and easy setup, and is compatible with many functional groups under mild conditions. This method was applied for the preparation of the key intermediates of biologically relevant 3-amido-2-quinolones.

Spectroscopic investigation of 2-(4-benzoyl-1,5-diphenyl-1H-pyrazol-3-yl)-4H-naphto[2,3-d][1,3]oxazin-4-one molecule

In this present study, the experimental and theoretical vibrational frequencies of an important pharmacological molecule 2-(4-benzoyl-1,5-diphenyl-1[Formula: see text]-pyrazol-3-yl)-4[Formula: see text]-naphto[2,3-[Formula: see text]][1,3]oxazin-4-one have been researched. The experimental FT-IR and laser-Raman spectra of the title compound have been taken in the region (4000–400[Formula: see text]cm[Formula: see text]) and (4000–100[Formula: see text]cm[Formula: see text]), respectively. The vibrational modes and optimized structure parameters have been computed by using DFT/B3LYP methods with 6-311[Formula: see text]G(d,p) basis set. In our calculations, Gaussian 09W software program has been used. Assignments of theoretical vibrations have been obtained by potential energy distribution analysis using VEDA 4 software program. This program is important because it performs assignments with 10% precision. We have obtained a fairly good agreement between experimental and theoretically obtained results, and these results have supported the literature. Additionally, we have examined the highest occupied molecular orbital and the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital energies, the other related molecular energy values, nuclear magnetic resonance ([Formula: see text]C and 1H-proton) chemical shifts, and UV–Vis wavelengths (electronic absorption wavelengths of the title compound) by using the mentioned calculation level. The nonlinear optical properties of the title compound have also been determined by using DFT/B3LYP/6-311[Formula: see text]G(d,p) level.

Selective Oxidative Decarbonylative Cleavage of Unstrained C(sp(3))-C(sp(2)) Bond: Synthesis of Substituted Benzoxazinones

A transition metal (TM)-free practical synthesis of biologically relevant benzoxazinones has been established via a selective oxidative decarbonylative cleavage of an unstrained C(sp(3))-C(sp(2)) bond employing iodine, sodium bicarbonate, and (t)butyl hydroperoxide in DMSO at 95 °C. Control experiments and Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations suggest that the reaction involves a [1,5]H shift and extrusion of CO gas as the key steps. The extrusion of CO has also been established using PMA-PdCl2.

DBU-promoted carboxylative cyclization of o-hydroxy- and o-acetamidoacetophenone

The carboxylative cyclization of o-hydroxy- and o-acetamidoacetophenone with carbon dioxide promoted by the organic base 1,8-diazabicycloundec-7-ene (DBU) is reported. This reaction provides convenient access to the biologically important compounds 4-hydroxy-2H-chromen-2-one and 4-hydroxy-2(1H)-quinolinone in moderate to good yields using carbon dioxide as the carboxylation reagent. An acyl migration from nitrogen to carbon is observed in the reaction of o-acetamidoacetophenone.
