Diaryl triazenes inhibit cytochrome P450 1A1 and 1B1 more strongly than aryl morpholino triazenes

Several diaryl triazene derivatives were synthesized and tested for their ability to inhibit cytochrome P450 1A1 and 1B1 as a potential means to prevent and treat cancer. These compounds are more planar than their conformational flexible aryl morpholino t

An investigation of the synthesis of vilazodone

A novel synthetic route toward vilazodone is described by using 4-cyanoaniline and 5-bromo-2-hydroxybenzaldehyde as starting materials, with an overall yield of 24% and 99% purity. First, the intermediate (3-(4-chlorobutyl)-1H-indole-5-carbonitrile) is synthesized via diazotization of 4-cyanoaniline, followed by Fischer indole cyclization with 6-chlorohexanal. Subsequently, another intermediate, 5-(piperazin-1-yl)benzofuran-2-carboxamide, is generated via aromatic nucleophilic substitution of 5-bromobenzofuran-2-carboxamide with piperazine. Finally, vilazodone is obtained via nucleophilic substitution of the above two key intermediates by treatment with Et3N/K2CO3. In comparison to the original process, this route avoids the use of expensive and toxic reagents and resolves issues such as safety, environmental concerns, and high costs.

Preparation of arylsulfonyl chlorides by chlorosulfonylation of in situ generated diazonium salts using a continuous flow reactor

A new flow procedure for the preparation of arylsulfonyl chlorides from aniline starting materials is described. The reaction conditions are mild, requiring no added acid and are amenable to continuous flow processing, in a safe, easily scalable and less labour intensive way than the corresponding batch method.

Nitrosation with Sodium Hexanitrocobaltate(III)

Na3Co(NO2)6 has been investigated as a new reagent for the nitrosation of various substrates containing an amino functionality. Reactions took place in an aqueous solution of the reagent. The pH of the reaction mixture remained in the range 4.3-5. Thus, hydrazides were transformed to the corresponding acyl azides, and the reactions with arenesulfonyl hydrazines afforded arenesulfonyl azides. Treatment of aromatic amines with Na3Co(NO2)6 gave 1,3-diaryltriazenes in excellent yields; coupling of the initially formed diazo compound to the electron rich aromatic ring was also observed. Nitrosation of aliphatic amines was not possible due to complex formation with the reagent.

Triazene Drug Metabolites. Part 13. The Decomposition of 3-Acyl-3-alkyl-1-aryltriazenes in Aqueous Sulfuric Acid

The hydrolysis of 1-aryl-3-acyl-3-methyltriazenes in aqueous sulfuric acid si described.The 3-formyl derivative undergoes an acid-catalysed deacylation reaction, characterised by a monotonic rise in the pseudo-first-order rate constant ko with increasing acidity, solvent deuterium isotope effects, kH2SO4/kD2SO4, of 0.9 (at 0.95 mol dm-3 H2SO4) and 0.8 (at 2.85 mol dm-3 H2SO4) and an entropy of activation of -80 J mol-1 K-1.The 3-alkanoyl derivatives also undergo acid-catalysed decomposition involving cleavage of either the N3-C acyl bond or the N2-N3 triazene bond.Below 3 mol dm-3 H2SO4, only acyl bond cleavage is observed.At higher acidities the extent of N2-N3 bond cleavage increases.The reaction is characterised by (i) solvent deuterium isotope effects of ca. 0.6 at 2 and 5 mol dm-3 H2SO4 and ca. 0.4 at 8 mol dm-3 H2SO4, (ii) ΔS(excit.) values of -6.7 and 51 J mol-1 K-1 at 2 and 6.1 mol dm-3 H2SO4, respectively, (iii) Hammett ρ values for the substituent in the triazene N-aryl ring of -0.7 and -0.9 at 3 and 9 mol dm-3 H2SO4, respectively, and (iv) an increase in reactivity with electron donating ability of the alkyl substituent of the acyl group.The 3-trifluoroacetyl triazenes are subject to solvolysis of the neutral, as well as the protonated, substrate.The hydrolysis of the neutral substrate involves N-acyl bond cleavage and is characterised by a solvent deuterium isotope effect, kH2O/kD2O, of 2.4, and a Hammett ρ value of +0.8 for the substituent in the N-aryl ring.The reactivity of the neutral substrate diminishes with increasing acidity until 6 mol dm-3 H2SO4, beyond which acid-catalysed N-acyl bond cleavage predominates, for which the solvent isotope effect, kH2SO4/kD2SO4, is 0.8 and the Hammett ρ value -0.5.The 3-aroyl substrates suffer acid-catalysed decomposition, the extent of the N2-N3 bond cleavage process being greater than for the N-alkanoyl counterparts.The reactions are rationalised in terms of a process that involves pre-equilibrium protonation of the substrate either at the N1 triazene atom or the amide oxygen atom, followed by subsequent decomposition of the protonated substrate via either N3-C bond cleavage, involving attack of water at the amide carbonyl, or unimolecular N2-N3 bond cleavage.The relative extents of the N3-C and N2-N3 bond cleavage processes depend on the reactivity of the acyl group and the water acitivity; the higher the water activity and the more reactive the acyl group, the more deacylation is favoured.
