In this research, 5-methylsydno-[3,4-a]quinazoline was synthesized via multiple methodologies, the best of which yielded the target compound in 50 % overall yield for the six steps. Synthesis of this compound in reasonable yields and exploration of its chemical behavior is of particular interest as a putative NO-prodrug. As an initial approach to the synthesis and accumulation of the compound of interest, attempts were made to optimize the existing synthetic pathway to its precursors. The starting material, 3-(2-acetylphenyl)sydnone, was prepared in 3 steps from commercially available starting material in good yields. This sydnone compound was then converted to the versatile intermediate, …

Some years ago, we reported that 3-phenylsydnone underwent dilithiation to yield the dilithio species, upon treatment with n-butyllithium. Subsequent reactions with electrophiles led to variously substituted aryl sydnones, dependent on the nature of the electrophile employed. Sydnonimines, exocyclic nitrogen analogs of sydnones, exhibit interesting biological properties and, accordingly, it was of value to explore whether or not the dilithiation approach could be extended to such species. In the present work a series of N-6-ethoxycarbonyl-3-arylsydnonimines were synthesized from the corresponding sydnonimine hydrochlorides in moderate yields (22-77%). Attempted dilithiations of N-6-ethoxycarbonyl-3-arylsydnonimines and trapping with iodine proved to be problematic, yielding only the …

In the present work, a synthetic route to the formation of a sydno[3,4- a]indolone was explored in the hope of attaining the first example of a fused-ring sydnone with an sp2-hybridized bridge. Formation of this product and exploration of its chemical behavior was anticipated to be of particular interest to the formation of NO-releasing prodrugs. A direct synthetic pathway to yield the target sydnoindolone starting from 3-(2-methoxycarbonylphenyl)sydnone and reaction with a base was proposed and explored. Attempted formation and isolation of the target sydnoindolone proved impossible under a variety of different conditions, undoubtedly due to the instability of this …
