ABSTRACT
A new route to bicyclic γ-lactams was found, which was proposed as a three-component cyclization of ethyl trifluoropyruvate with methyl ketones and 1,2-, 1,3-amino alcohols. As a result, a series of trifluoromethyl-substituted tetrahydropyrrolo [2,1-b]oxazol-5-ones and tetrahydropyrrolo[2,1-b][1,3]oxazine-6-ones was synthesized, in which the substituent at the nodal carbon atom was varied. The introduction of a twofold excess of ethyl trifluoropyruvate in reactions with amino alcohols and acetone made it possible to obtain the same bicycles, but functionalized with a hydroxyester fragment, which are formed due to four-component interactions of the reagents. Transformations with 2-butanone and aminoethanol lead predominantly to similar bicycles, while an analogous reaction with aminopropanol gives N-hydroxypropyl-2,3-dihydropyrrol-5-one. Almost all bicycles are formed as two diastereomers, the structure of which was determined using 1H, 19F, 13C NMR spectroscopy, including two-dimensional experiments and XRD analysis. A domino mechanism for the formation of tetrahydropyrrolo[2,1-b]oxazacycles was proposed, which was confirmed by their stepwise synthesis through the preliminary preparation of the aldol and bis-aldol from ethyl trifluoropyruvate and methyl ketones.

Heteroanalogs of ascidian alkaloids have been synthesized, and for the first time 10 different types of saturated carbo- and heteroannulated pyridones have been obtained. A new method for the formation of decahydro[1,3]oxazolo[2,3-j]quinoline and octahydro-5H-cyclopenta[b][1,3]oxazolo[3,2-a]pyridine was proposed. The synthesis of these heterocycles is based on the three-component cyclization of trifluoroacetoacetic ester and cycloketones with 1,2- and 1,3-dinucleophiles. It was found that reactions with amino alcohols are distinguished by the possibility of isolating carbocyclopyridones of various degrees of saturation. The diastereomeric structure of the synthesized heterocycles has been studied, and the mechanism of their formation has been proposed. Antitumor, anti-influenza and analgesic agents have been found among the synthesized compounds.

A new one-pot reaction between polyfluoroalkylated 3-oxo esters, methyl ketones and primary or secondary alkyl amines is reported as an efficient approach to 3-alkylamino-5-hydroxy-5-polyfluoroalkylcyclohex-2-en-1-ones. The scope of three-component cyclization and its plausible mechanism are discussed. The described protocol makes it possible to vary the functional substituents in 2, 3 and 5 positions of carbocycles. Anhydrous conditions are necessary for the productive synthesis of aminocyclohexenones, whereas in the presence of water the competitive formation of alkyl ammonium salts of keto hydroxy carboxylates is observed. Dehydration of the aminocyclohexenones was effectively used for the synthesis of 3-alkylamino-5-trifluoromethylphenols, some of which exhibited moderate antifungal activities against eight pathogenic fungal strains.
ABSTRACT
The interaction of 2-ethoxymethylidene-3-oxo esters and their analogues with 5-aminotetrazole is an efficient synthetic approach to novel azaheterocycles. 2-Ethoxymethylidene-3-oxo esters bearing alkyl substituents react with 5-aminotetrazole to form ethyl 2-azido-4-alkylpyrimidine-5-carboxylates which are capable of subsequent nucleophilic substitution. The use of diethyl 2-ethoxymethylidenemalonate in this reaction resulted in ethyl 7-hydroxytetrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine-6-carboxylate, while ethyl 2-ethoxymethylidenecyanoacetate yielded 5-[2,6-diamino-3,5-bis(ethoxycarbonyl)pyridinium-1-yl]tetrazol-1-ide through an alternative pathway. Ethyl 2-benzoyl-3-ethoxyprop-2-enoate reacted with 5-aminotetrazole by two reaction routes to form ethyl 2-benzoyl-3-(1H-tetrazol-5-ylamino)prop-2-enoate and ethyl 7-(1-ethoxy-1,3-dioxo-3-phenylpropan-2-yl)-5-phenyl-4,7-dihydrotetrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine-6-carboxylate.
