Abstract Chalcones, considered to be the precursor of flavonoids and isoflavonoids, are abundant in edible plants. They consist of open-chain flavonoids in which the two aromatic rings are joined by a three-carbon α, β-unsaturated carbonyl system. Studies revealed that compounds with a chalcone-based structure have antiinflammatory, antibacterial, antifungal, and antitumor activities. The reaction sequences employed for synthesis of the target thiazolidine-2,4- dione (54) and 4-thioxo-thiazolidine-2-one (55) are illustrated in Scheme 1. Chalcones 57a-e were synthesized by a base-catalyzed Claisen-Schmidt reaction between substituted acetophenone and terephthalaldehyde in 86-91% yields (Scheme 2). English Summary ii Chalcones 57a-e were subjected to Knoevenagel condensation with 54 in the presence of catalytic amount of piperidine and acetic acid to afford 58a-e in 80- 86% yields (Scheme 3). Chalcones 57a-e were subjected to Knoevenagel condensation with 55 in the presence of catalytic amount of piperidine and acetic acid to afford 59a-e in 78- 86% yields (Scheme 4). The chalcone 61 was synthesized by a base-catalyzed reaction between acetophenone and 6-nitronicotinaldehyde in 80% yield. Bromination of 61 in chloroform afforded the corresponding 2,3-dibromochalcone 62. Treatment of 62 with dry benzene in the presence of triethylamine afforded 63 (Scheme 5). hydrazine hydrate or phenyl hydrazine in ethanol to afford the Δ2-pyrazoline 64 in 70% yield, and N-phenyl-Δ2-pyrazoline 65 in 73% yield. Condensation of 61 with hydroxylamine hydrochloride, thiourea, or urea in ethanolic sodium hydroxide solution gave 4,5-dihydroisoxazole 66 in 80% yields, 5,6-dihydropyrimidine-2(1H)-thione 67 in 75% yield, and 5,6- dihydropyrimidine-2(1H)-one 68 in 73% yield (Scheme 6). The pyrazole derivatives 69-71 were obtained by refluxing of dibromochalcone 62 with phenylhydrazine, nicotinichydrazide, or 2- hydrazinylquinoline in dry pyridine. (Scheme 7). |
