Abstract

:
Some new substituted dihydrothieno[2',3':4,5]thieno[2,3-c]quinolin-6-ones 9-12 and tetrahydrodithieno[2,3-b: 2',3'-d]thieno[2'',3''-c:2'',3''-c’]diquinolin-6,14-dione (17) were prepared from the corresponding new anilides 5-8 and from the corresponding dianilide 15, respectively, by a multistep combination of chemical and photochemical reactions. All the prepared compounds are of particular interest because they might serve as DNA intercalators in anticancer therapy.

Introduction

There are only a few recent literature reports which describe thieno[3,2-b]- and thieno[3,4-b]-thiophenes with different features [1,2,3] and applications [4,5]. Synthesis of a new class of cofacially oriented neutral donor-acceptor thienothiophenes to probe the presence of through-space charge transfer interaction has been described [6]. Synthesis of some polyfused thienoheterocycles e.g.: thienopyrimidine, thienotriazine, thienoimidazotriazine, etc. [7] and new bis-(p-fluorophenyl)amides of thieno[3,2-b]-thiophene, thieno[3,2-b]furan and 1,2-bis(5-[2-(2-thienyl)ethenyl]2-thienyl)ethane are also described [8]. The new thienothiophene group was reported recently [9]. Occasionally thienothiophenes have been prepared from monobromo, dibromo or tribromo substituted thiophenes [10], 3,6-dimethyl-substituted thieno[3,2-b]thiophenes, prepared as monomers in the polymerization process [11,12] or thieno[3,2-b]thiophenes, which are synthesized starting from phthalimidosulfenyl chloride via reaction with diaryl (or heteroaryl) acetylenes [13] or as the intermediates in the synthesis of heteroarenes which are isoelectric with perylene [14]. Various thieno[3,2-c]-anellated 1,2-dithiins have been prepared from appropriate thiophene precursors [15,16]. On the other hand, there is a lot of patent literature which describes the synthesis of thiophene 3,4-carboxamide derivatives and their application as useful and active dopamine receptor blockers [17], or useful herbicides [18]. Some substituted benzo[b]thiophenecarboxamides are used as inhibitors of neutrophil-endothelial cell adhesion [19]. Finally, the synthesis of tricyclic thiophenes using transition-metal or palladium catalyzed cyclization [20,21] was described recently, as were their applications as radical cations [22] or in photochemical polymerization processes [23,24].

Results and Discussion

In our previous papers we have described the synthesis of some dianilides of the benzo[b]-thiophene, thieno[2,3-b]thiophene, benzo[1,2-b:4,5-b'] dithiophene and dithieno[3,2-b:2',3'-d]-thiophene series and their photochemical reactions, which led to the corresponding quinolones [25,26,27]. Recently, we also reported the synthesis of new thieno[2,3-b]thienylquinolones and their antitumor activity [28].
In this paper we describe the preparation of some new substituted dihydrothieno[2',3':4,5]thieno-[2,3-c]quinolin-6-ones 9-12 and of tetrahydrodithieno[2,3-b:2',3'-d]thieno-[2'',3''-c:2'',3''-c']diquinolin-6,14-dione (17) by multistep syntheses starting from the corresponding bromo substituted 2-thienylacrylic acids 1 and 2 prepared earlier [29,30] (Scheme 1). Cyclization of 1 and 2 by the known method [26,31,32] using thionyl chloride and a catalytic amount of pyridine, gave substituted 3-chlorothieno[3,2-b]thiophene-2-carbonyl chlorides 3 and 4, respectively The yields varied from 40-56%. By refluxing chlorides 3 and 4 with p-bromoaniline or p-aminobenzonitrile in toluene the corresponding substituted 3-chlorothieno[3,2-b]thiophene-2-carboxanilides 5-8 were obtained. All the prepared anilides 5-8 were converted by the photochemical dehydrohalogenation reaction into the corresponding disubstituted quinolones 9-12 [26,28]. On the other hand, the Heck reaction of compound 2 gave 3-(2,4-thienylene)diacrylic acid (13, [28,33]), which was cyclized with thionyl chloride and a catalytic amount of pyridine, by the known method [26,27,34], into dichloride 14. Refluxing of dichloride 14 with p-bromoaniline or p-aminobenzonitrile in toluene afforded the corresponding 3,6-dichlorodithieno-[3,2-b:2,3-b’]thiophene-2,5-carboxanilides 15 and 16. Dianilide 15 was converted by the double photochemical dehydrohalogenation reaction into the diquinolone 17. Dianilide 16 proved quite insoluble in the usual organic solvents and the photochemical reaction was not carried out.

Experimental

General

Melting points were determined on a Kofler hot stage microscope and are uncorrected. IR spectra were recorded on a Nicolet Magna 760 spectrophotometer between KBr plates. UV spectra were recorded on either a Perkin-Elmer 124 or a Hewlett-Packard 8452A spectrophotometer in methanol or ethanol. 1H- and 13C-NMR spectra were recorded on either a Varian Gemini 300 or a Bruker Avance DPX 300 spectrometer in DMSO-d6. Chemical shifts (δ) are reported in part per million (ppm) relative to TMS as an internal standard, and coupling constants (J) are given in hertz (Hz). Mass spectra were recorded on either a Varian-MAT 311A (Electron Impact and Fast Atom Bombardment) or a Micromass Platform LCZ (Electrospray). Elemental analysis for carbon, hydrogen and nitrogen were performed on a Perkin-Elmer 2400 elemental analyzer. Where analyses are indicated only as symbols of elements, analytical results obtained are within 0.4% of the theoretical value. Irradiation was performed at room temperature with a water cooled immersion well fitted with a 400 W high pressure mercury arc lamp using Pyrex filters. All compounds were routinely checked by TLC with Merck silica gel 60F-254 glass plates or Merck aluminium oxide plates.
