Isosteres of cryptolepine (1) were synthesized and evaluated for their antiinfective activities. Overall, the sulfur isostere, 5-methyl benzothieno[3,2-b]quinolinium salt (5b), was equipotent to 1 and has shown no cytotoxicity at 23.8 μg/mL. Compound 5b was also found to have a broad spectrum of activity. Both the carbon and oxygen isosteres were less potent than cryptolepine. A limited library of 2-substituted analogs of 5b has been synthesized and evaluated in antifungal screens but did not show increase in potency compared to the unsubstituted 5b. Similarly, evaluation of tricyclic benzothieno[3,2-b]pyridines while showing promise in individual screens did not produce an overall increase in potency. Overall, the evaluation of the activities of 5b compared with standard antifungal/anti-protozoal agents suggests that the benzothienoquinoline scaffold could serve as a lead for optimization.

The orientation in the base-catalyzed rearrangement of 3-substituted N-(aryloxy)pyridinium tetrafluoroborates (5) to 2- or 6-(2-hydroxyaryl)pyridines has been studied.A 3-methyl group directs exclusively to the 6-position while inductively electron-withdrawing substituents (Cl, Br, I, OMe, CO2Me, COMe) direct mainly, if not exclusively, to C-2.The phenols derived from 3-CO2Me derivates cyclize spontaneously to the substituted pyridocoumarins (8) in useful yields, and that from the 3-COMe compound gives 10-hydroxy-10-methyl-6-nitropyridobenzopyran (9).The 3-halo-2-(2-hydroxyaryl)pyridines cyclize to benzofuropyridines(10,15) on heating with potassium hydroxide and copper powder.Authentic benzofuropyridine (12) is obtained by the Pschorr ring closure of the diazonium salt of 3-(o-aminophenoxy)pyridine (14).The substituent effects are explained mainly on the basis of the inductive effect of the substituent: steric effects play a slight role.A minor side reaction is thought to involve the intermediacy of free radicals.

2-(2-Mercaptophenyl)pyridines are prepared from the corresponding phenols and oxidized with N-chlorosuccinimide and silver tetrafluoroborate to benzisothiazolopyridine salts (4).The latter do not rearrange thermally or photochemically to benzothiophenopyridines (19) and are attacked by nucleophiles at sulfur rather than in the pyridine ring, to give the original 2-(2-mercaptophenyl)pyridine back in a reaction involving a dismutation. 19 is prepared by rearranging O-dimethylthiocarbamate to the S-aryl compound and heating the latter with strong base.
