A General Approach to Site-Specific, Intramolecular C?H Functionalization Using Dithiocarbamates

Intramolecular hydrogen atom transfer is an established approach for the site-specific functionalization of unactivated, aliphatic C?H bonds. Transformations using this strategy typically require unstable intermediates formed using strong oxidants and have mainly targeted C?H halogenations or intramolecular aminations. Herein, we report a site-specific C?H functionalization that significantly increases the synthetic scope and convergency of reactions proceeding via intramolecular hydrogen atom transfer. Stable, isolable N-dithiocarbamates are used as precursors to amidyl radicals formed via either light or radical initiation to efficiently deliver highly versatile alkyl dithiocarbamates across a wide range of complex structures.

Bis(dialkylaminethiocarbonyl)disulfides as potent and selective monoglyceride lipase inhibitors

Monoglyceride lipase (MGL) inhibition may offer an approach in treating diseases in which higher 2-arachidonoyglycerol activity would be beneficial. We report here the synthesis and pharmacological evaluation of bis(dialkylaminethiocarbonyl)disulfide derivatives as irreversible MGL inhibitors. Inhibition occurs through interactions with MGL C208 and C242 residues, and these derivatives exhibit high inhibition selectivity over fatty acid amide hydrolase, another endocannabinoid-hydrolyzing enzyme. 2009 American Chemical Society.

Synthesis and in vitro antifungal activity of some N,N-disubstituted dithiocarbamic acid esters derived from 2-methylquinazolinones

A series of 2-[(N,N-disubstituted thiocarbamoylthio)methyl]quinazolinones 9a-g; 10a; 10d; 11a-d and 12a were synthesized and evaluated for potential antifungal activity against a variety of fungal species. The synthesis of the target compounds was achieved by reaction of the potassium salts of disubstituted dithiocarbamic acids 8a-g and the respective 2-bromomethyl-4(3H)-quinazolinone 4 or 3-aryl-2- chloromethyl-4(3H)-quinazolinones 5-7. The dithiocarbamic acid derivatives were synthesized in a one step reaction from the appropriate amine, alcoholic potassium hydroxide solution and carbon disulfide. TLC and elemental analyses ascertained the purity of the synthesized compounds and their structures were confirmed by IR and 1H-NMR spectroscopy, 2-Methyl-4(3H)-quinazolinone 2, the precursor of the 2-bromomethyl intermediate 4, was selected as representative example for detailed spectroscopic investigations, including 300 MHz 1H- and 13CNMR in addition to HH COSY; APT and 1H13C HETCOR spectra, with the aim of establishing correct assignment of the spectral data of related compounds. The synthesized disubstituted dithiocarbamates 9a-g; 10a,d; 11a-d and 12a as well as tolnaftate and clotrimazole, as reference drugs, were tested in vitro at 2 and 5% concentrations against 23 pathogenic fungi. The study revealed that compound 9a exhibited broad spectrum inhibitory activity that is superior or comparable to that of the reference drugs against the tested fungal isolates. Selective fungistatic activity against Candida species was elicited by compound 9e and against Microsporum species as well as Trichophyton mentagrophytes was also observed for compound 9g. As a general pattern it might be postulated that some of the synthesized dithiocarbamate derivatives showed broad spectrum antifungal activity as compared with tolnaftate, the clinically used thiocarbamate compound, and also exhibited comparable activity to clotrimazole against Candida species and F. Solani.

Synthesis, characterization and in-vitro antifungal evaluation of some dithiocarbamic acid derivatives

Some new N, N-disubstituted dithiocarbamates derived from α-acetonaphthone and their precursors, potassium salts of dithiocarbamic acid, were prepared and evaluated for antifungal activity. Synthesis involved the reaction of α-chloro-2-acetonaphthone or α-chloro-4-methoxy-1-acetonaphthone with the potassium salts of N, N-disubstituted dithiocarbamic acid (5a-g). Compounds 5a-g were readily produced by reaction of equivalent amounts of the appropriate secondary amine, potassium hydroxide and carbon disulphide. The purity of the final derivatives, N, N-disubstituted dithiocarbamates 6a-g and 7a-g, was determined elemental analyses and TLC, and assignment of structures was confirmed by IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR and MS. Preliminary evaluation of the antifungal activity of derivatives 5a-g, 6a-g and 7a-g was determined in-vitro at a 2.5 or 5.0% concentration against different fungal species using tolnaftate as a reference drug. The potassium salts 5a-g were the most potent derivatives of the tested series. Compounds 5a-g showed significant broad spectrum antifungal activity. Combination of the dithiocarbamate with acetonaphthonyl moiety, represented by the 6a-g and 7a-g series, resulted in a decrease in or complete loss of antifungal activity in certain derivatives. Compounds derived from 4-methoxy-1-acetonaphthone (7a-g) were generally superior to their 4-nonsubstituted congeners (6a-g). The morpholino dithiocarbamate derivative 7e was equipotent or superior to the reference drug against the tested dermatophytes species and Rhodotorula rubra at a 5% concentration. In addition, 7e exhibited inhibitory activity against Chrysosporium tropicum, Emericella nidulans, Penicillium aurantiogriseum and Aspergillus sydowii. Some derivatives of both series showed selective activity against certain fungi, (e.g. 6f against Phoma glomerata and Scopulariopsis acremonium; 6g against Emericella nidulans and Phoma glomerata; 7c against Geotrichum candidum and Mucor circinelloides; 7d against Geotrichum candidum, Penicillium aurantiogriseum and Rodotorula rubra and 7f against Mucor circinelloides).
