Synthesis of phthalimides, isoindolin-1-ones and isoindolines bearing aminobenzoic acids as a new fluorescent compounds

Both experimental and theoretical methods were used in order to study the fluorescent properties of nine new compounds based on phthalimides, isoindolin-1-ones and isoindolines bearing aminobenzoic acids (2-aminobenzoic acid, 3-aminobenzoic acid and 4-aminobenzoic acid), which were obtained under mild reaction conditions. The photophysical properties of all the compounds were studied by electronic absorption and fluorescence spectroscopy in methanol solutions. All compounds exhibited fluorescence emission and high quantum yields. Additionally, it was found that the intramolecular charge in these donor-acceptor systems is significantly depending on electron-withdrawing substituents at the carboxylic acid position.

Visible-Light-Induced Metal-/Photocatalyst-Free C-H Bond Imidation of Arenes

In this study, a visible-light-induced intermolecular C-H bond imidation of arenes was achieved at ambient condition. By using simple phthalimide with (diacetoxyiodo)benzene and molecular iodine, direct metal-/photocatalyst-free C-N bond formation was achieved. The imidation protocol was designed by using time-dependent density functional theory calculations and experimentally demonstrated for 28 substrates with as high as 96% yield. Mechanistic studies indicated that radical-mediated aromatic substitution occurred via photolysis of N-iodophthalimide under visible-light irradiation.

Nitrogen-centered radical-mediated C-H imidation of arenes and heteroarenes via visible light induced photocatalysis

The C-H imidation of arenes and heteroarenes has been achieved via visible light induced photocatalysis. In the presence of an iridium(iii) photoredox catalyst, the reaction of aromatic substrates with N-chlorophthalimide furnishes the N-aryl products at room temperature through a nitrogen-centered radical mediated aromatic substitution.

Synthesis and anticonvulsant and neurotoxic properties of substituted N- phenyl derivatives of the phthalimide pharmacophore

A series of compounds including 4-amino (1), 3-amino (2), 4-nitro (3), 2-methyl-3-amino (4), 2-methyl-3-nitro (5), 2-methyl-4-amino (6), 2-methyl-4- nitro (7), 2-methyl-5-amino (8), 2-methyl-5-nitro (9), 2-methyl-6-amino (10), 2-methyl-6-mitro (11), 2,6-dimethyl (12), 2-methyl-3-carboxy (13), 2- methoxycarbonyl (14), 2-methyl-4-methoxy (15), 2,4-dimethoxy (16), 2-chloro- 4-amino (17), and 2-chloro-4-nitro (18) N-phenyl substituents of phthalimide were evaluated along with N-[3-methyl-(2-pyridinyl)]phthalimide (19), N-(3- amino-2-methylphenyl)succinimide (20), and phenytoin for anticonvulsant and neurotoxic properties. Initial screening in the intraperitoneal (ip) maximal electroshock-induced seizure (MES) test and the subcutaneous pentylenetetrazol-induced seizure (scPtz) test in mice led to the selection of 1, 2, 4, 10, 12, 17, and 19 for oral MES evaluation in rats. The resultant ED50 values for 4, 10, 17, and phenytoin were 8.0, 28.3, 5.7 and 29.8 mg/kg, respectively. In the batrachotoxin affinity assay, IC50 values for 17 and phenytoin were 0.15 and 0.93 μM, respectively, and in the recently validated magnesium deficiency-dependent audiogenic seizure test, ED50 values of 5.2 and 23 mg/kg were obtained for 17 and phenytoin, respectively. Electrophysiology studies on compound 17 point out its ability to (i) potentiate GABA-evoked current responses with a failure to directly activate the GABAA receptor and (ii) to affect, at 100 μM excitatory non NMDA, but not NMDA, receptors with a 25% block of kainate-evoked response. Electrophysiology measurements on voltagegated sodium channels in N1E-115 neuroblastoma cells confirm voltage-dependent block of these channels by compound 17. In view of its interaction with multiple ion channels, one would predict that compound 17 might be active in a wide range of seizure models.

REACTIONS OF CYCLIC ANHYDRIDES XVI. A NOVEL APPROACH TO ANGULAR OXYGENATED PYRROLOBENZOXAZINONES

o-Carboxymaleanilic acids IIIa-g when treated with sodium acetate-acetic anhydride underwent double cyclisation leading to pyrrolobenzoxazinones Va-g carrying an angular acetate.A one-flask reaction of dimethylmaleic anhydride and phthalic anhydride with anthranilic acid furnished the angular hydroxy benzoxazinones IVh and IVi respectively, which were converted to the corresponding acetates Vh and Vi.The acetates Va, Vc, Vf, Vg and Vi underwent solvolysis to the corresponding methyl ethers (VII) on refluxing with anhydrous methanol.
