An expeditious synthesis of imides from phthalic, maleic and succinic anhydrides and chemoselective C=C reduction of maleic amide esters

Phthalic, maleic and succinic anhydrides have been reacted with aromatic amines to obtain the corresponding monoacid monoamides. The latter have been each transformed into the corresponding cyclic imide derivatives by treating with SOCl2. Alternatively, anhydrides have been reacted with methanolic KOH to obtain monomethyl ester derivatives which on reaction with aromatic amines in the presence of EDC. HCl and HOBt give cyclic imide derivatives. Reaction of monoacid monoamides independently, with SOCl 2 at 0-5°C give the monoamide monoester derivatives. Treatment of monoamide monoester of malic anhydride with NaBH4 leads to the unusual reduction of C=C grouping as well as the carbonyl group of the ester group to from monoamide monoalcohol of succinic anhydride. Preparation of monoamide monoalcohol of succinic anhydride can also be achieved by chemoselective reduction of monoamide monoester of malic anhydride with Mg turnings yielding monoamide monoester of succinic anhydride followed by reduction of the latter with NaBH4.

A facile and green synthesis of N-substituted imides

Anhydrides 1, 6 and 10 have been reacted, independently, with aromatic primary amines 2 in solid phase by simple physical grinding of reactants with p-toluenesulphonicacid as a catalyst to yield corresponding open chain derivatives, monoacid monoamides3,7 and 11 respectively. The latter have each been transformed into the corresponding cyclic derivatives, i.e. imides 5, 9 and 13 respectively in solid phase by simple physical grinding of each with K 2CO3, alkylating agent and tetrabutylammoniumbromide as a catalyst with short reaction times. These cyclic imides can also be obtained by physical grinding of each of 3, 7 and 11 with dicyclohexylcarbodimide as a dehydrating agent in solid phase.

Derivatives of aryl amines containing the cytotoxic 1,4-dioxo-2-butenyl pharmacophore

Several series of compounds containing the 1,4-dioxo-2-butenyl moiety have been prepared as candidate cytotoxins, including the methyl N-arylmaleamates, methyl N-arylfumaramates, and N-arylmaleimides. In addition, the N-arylisomaleimides were synthesized which are the structural isomers of N-arylmaleimides. These compounds were evaluated against human Molt 4/C8 and CEM T-lymphocytes as well as murine L1210 cells. Methyl N-arylfumaramates showed the highest cytotoxic potencies and, in particular, methyl N-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)fumaramate is six times more potent than melphalan towards L1210 cells and is equipotent with this drug in the Molt 4/C8 assay. Electrophilicity of compounds under investigation was demonstrated by carrying out thiolation using model benzyl mercaptan on representative compounds. Methyl N-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)fumaramate and methyl N-(4-chlorophenyl)maleamate inhibited human N-myristoyltransferase, a possible molecular target, in high micromolar range. QSAR and molecular modeling revealed some correlations between different structural features of a number of the molecules and cytotoxic potencies. Methyl N-arylfumaramates were well tolerated in mice in comparison to the analogs in other series of compounds tested. The data obtained in this investigation affords guidelines for preparing new series of molecules with greater potencies.

Synthesis and antifungal activity of N-(alkyl/aryl)-2-(3-oxo-1,4- benzothiazin-2-yl)acetamide

A series of N-(alkyl/aryl)-2-(3-oxo-1,4-benzothiazin-2-yl)acetamide have been synthesized by condensation of substituted amines with maleic anhydride (MA) followed by cyclization with o-aminothiophenol (o-ATP). All the compounds have been screened for their antifungal activity against Tricophyton rubrum, Epidermophyton floccosum and Malassazia furfur. In the primary screening, some of the compounds exhibited appreciable activity. The structures of the synthesized compounds 7a-z have been established on the basis of elemental analysis and spectral data.

Base-induced alcoholysis of N-arylmaleimides: Facile in situ oxa-Michael addition to alkyl maleanilates: Two-step one-pot rapid access to alkoxysuccinic acids

A simple, efficient and general two-step, one-pot approach to alkoxysuccinic acids is described. The potassium carbonate-catalyzed reactions of alcohols with N-p-tolylmaleimide (4) followed by an acid-induced hydrolysis of intermediate products furnished alkoxysuccinic acids 1a-f in 90-98% yields. All the intermediates from the reaction of imide 4 with alcohols have been isolated and characterized, proving that the in situ formed alkyl maleanilates 3 are the actual Michael acceptors.
