ABSTRACT: A class of dialkylamino-substituted dibenzodiazepines and their hetero analogues was synthesized by the intramolecular aza-Wittig condensation of the amido group with iminophosphoranes. The one-pot, two-step procedure includes reductive synthesis of the intermediate iminophosphoranes from the corresponding nitroamides and tributylphosphine.

minophosphoranes, first reported in 1919 by Staudinger and Meyer,1 are a valuable class of compounds that have found numerous applications in organic synthesis. Their initial application, still being of certain importance in chemistry, was hydrolysis to amines.1,2 The great significance of iminophosphoranes is mainly associated with their ylide character. This makes them powerful reagents for the formation of carbon− nitrogen double bonds in reactions with carbonyl groups. This aza-Wittig reaction is particularly valuable when both reacting functions are in the same molecule, as it leads to cyclocondensation forming a new heterocyclic ring. There is an extensive and rich literature devoted to such reactions, and the topic does not seem to be exhausted yet.3 The most common method to prepare aryliminophosphoranes is the Staudinger reaction of azides with phosphines.2,4 The coupling of amines and phosphines with the presence of oxidants such as halogenating agents,5 azodicarboxylates,6 or ethylenedicarboxylates7 have also been reported. Formation of aryliminophosphoranes from nitrogen groups with nitrogen on higher oxidation state are rare. These are generally more complex and less selective processes with dominating subsequent reactions of intermediate nitrenes such as cyclizations and rearrangements.8 This is true for nitro as well as for nitroso groups. In our work published in 2014 we found that the reaction of 2-nitrosodiarylamines with PPh3 proceeded under very mild conditions and that the corresponding iminophosphoranes were formed in very good yields.9 Because of the presence of ortho arylamino substituent they turned out to be versatile starting materials in the synthesis of nitrogen-containing heterocyclic frameworks, guided mainly by aza-Wittig condensation.9,10 Later we proved that the corresponding iminophosporanes can also be synthesized from 2-nitrodiaryl-

amines, although the reaction requires elevated temperature.11 The finding prompted us to employ this reaction and the iminophosphoranes so formed for the synthesis of heterocyclic compounds based on 1,4-dibenzodiazepine scaffold. A few prominent examples of them are shown in Figure 1.

We were particularly focused on clozapine,12 its derivatives, and analogues containing dialkylamino substituent at C11. Numerous methods for the synthesis of clozapine and its analogues (Scheme 1) consist in the formation of the intermediate diazepinone scaffold (path a−c) followed by one- or two-steps introduction of the amino group.13 The most standard path (path b)13a−c,e−g uses suitably substituted nitrodiarylamines as starting materials. The formation of the seven-membered ring that way requires the prior reduction of the nitro group. Our idea was to shorten the whole process by direct cyclocondensation of 2-nitrodiarylamines bearing appropriate 2′-dialkylamido group, using trivalent phosphorus reagents. This yielded the desired 11-dialkylamino-1,4-dibenzodiazeReceived: October 23, 2018

In a preliminary testing reaction sequence copper-catalyzed reaction of 2-bromo-5-chloronitrobenzene (1a) with anthranilic acid was performed. This was followed by the conversion of N-(4-chloro-2-nitro)anthranilic acid to amide 3a, which, by heating at 150 °C with an excess of PPh3,11 was transformed into iminophosphorane 4a in 79% yield. The latter was then cyclized in neat PPh3 to give clozapine (5a) in 65% yield after 4 d at 230 °C (Scheme 3).

pines in an uncatalyzed, metal-free, reductive process. The approach relies on the intermediate formation of aryliminoaminophosphoranes directly from the nitro group followed by their aza-Wittig condensation with the suitably positioned dialkylamido function (Scheme 2).14

The conditions, namely, molten PPh3 and no other solvent, were chosen for both steps to test the possibility of avoiding isolation of the iminophosphorane intermediate. Indeed, when 3a was stirred with an excess of PPh3 at 230 °C for 4 d a slightly higher yield, as compared to the combined yield of both steps, was obtained. Some modifications of the reaction conditions were then examined, particularly to lower the temperature and eliminate the cumbersome excess of PPh3 (Table 1).

The presented method makes use of a feature of the nitro group that activates the ortho halogens for substitution according to the SNAr or the Ullmann scheme on the very first step and undergoes final reductive cyclocondensation. To achieve the goal cyclocondensation of the iminophosphorane function with the amide group is accomplished. Amides are not typical carbonyl reagents in the aza-Wittig condensations. Nevertheless, intramolecular reactions of iminophosphoranes with amido groups have some literature references cited in reviews.3 While most of them refer to the reactions of imido group, in a few cases true amido group was engaged.15 In no respective case was the starting iminophosphorane obtained from the nitro compounds. As a rule they were synthesized from azides in the Staudinger reaction.

The use of tri-n-butylphosphine instead of Ph3P (Table 1, entry 3) was especially beneficial, since the reaction gave a higher yield of the product at a lower temperature. Moreover, the excess of the phosphorus reagent and its oxide could be, for the most part, removed under vacuum after the reaction. Other trivalent phosphorus compounds were ineffective. Hexamethylphosphorous triamide reacted to form corresponding iminophosphorane 4b, which was not prone to cyclization. In the reaction of trialkyl phosphite a complex product mixture was formed. The best conditions found for the cyclization of 3a (entry 3) were applied for the synthesis of a number of 1,4dibenzodiazepines (Scheme 4). Unexpectedly, the reaction of the amides of relatively smaller steric bulkiness (i.e., pyrrolidinamide derivatives 3c, 3h, and B

satisfactory yields were achieved by applying a higher temperature, 220 °C (shown in parentheses in Scheme 4). On the other hand, the exceptionally bulky amide group in 3r completely prevented cyclization at 150 °C. The intermediate iminophosphorane 4c was the only isolated product in 50% yield. The cyclization took place at 220 °C; however, the yield of 5r was rather moderate. The higher temperature turned out to be beneficial for the reactions of N-methylpiperazinamide 3i but gave lower yield in the case of 3l. Apparently, the final yield of 5 is a result of a competition between the desired reductive cyclization and some destructive processes, mostly significant at higher temperature. The reaction was effective for both carbocyclic and heterocyclic nitroamides. This is exemplified by the synthesis of olanzapine (5s), its derivative 5t, and pyridobenzodiazepines 5u and 5v. It also seems to be insensitive to both electron-withdrawing and -donating substituents, at least within the explored range. Starting amides 3a−r were prepared from the appropriate 2bromonitroarenes following the general synthetic path (Scheme 2). In the case of amides 3s and 3t, precursors of olanzapine derivatives, better results were attained when the nucleophilic substitution of fluorine in 2-fluoronitrobenzene with 2-amino-5-methyltiophene-3-carboxylic acid ethyl ester16 was followed by hydrolysis of the ester group. The acid was transformed into amides 3s and 3t via standard procedures (Scheme 5). In regard to pyridine derivatives 3u and 3v,

corresponding 2-iodobenzamides were prepared first, then coupled with 2-amino-3-nitropyridine (for details of the amides preparation see the Experimental Section). In summary, a rather unexplored intramolecular aza-Wittig condensation of iminophosphoranes with amides was employed for the short and convenient synthesis of 11dialkylaminodibenzodiazepines and their heteroanalogues. The starting iminophosphoranes could be prepared in situ from the corresponding nitro compounds in a metal-free reductive process with triaryl- or trialkylphosphines.
