ABSTRACT: A novel metal-free catalysis protocol for the synthesis of 1,2-diarylpyrazolo[5,1-b]quinazolin-9(1H)-ones via intramolecular oxidative C-H amination of (E)-3-(arylamino)-2-styrylquinazolin-4(3H)-ones has been developed with moderate to good yield. The method shows good functional group tolerance. The presented approach offers a new synthetic pathway toward the core structures of 2,3-fused quinazolinones. Moreover, the present synthetic route could be readily scaled up to gram quantity without difficulty. A possible mechanism involves seleniranium ion followed by three-membered ring opening to form C-N bond. _______________________________________________________________________________

molecules of pyrazole and quinazolinone skeletons, pyrazolo[5,1-b]quinazolinones, are important biological molecules which exhibit a broad spectrum of activities such as antiallergic,6a antimicrobial activity.6b Traditionally, pyrazolo[5,1-b]quinazolinone structures are constructed by the condensation of isatoic anhydride with pyrazolone, which is limited in scope and inconvenient operation.6 Wang group reported transition-metal catalyzed

synthesis of pyrazolo[5,1-b]quinazolinone derivatives.7

Although the transition-metal-catalyzed strategies that have shown high efficiency, metal-free protocols are also desirable due to their advantages with regard to purity requirements in biological and medicinal research.8 Organoselenium catalysis is an important and unique subject that presents additional opportunities to develop novel green synthetic methods with industrial potential compared with transition metals.9 Also selenium is much less expensive than noble metals, and the organoselenium catalysts are sufficiently robust to be recycled and reused with little deactivation.10 Recently, organoselenium catalysts have been successfully employed in a series of useful transformations.11 Since Breder’s pioneering contributions to the direct oxidative vinylic amination of alkenes by selenium catalysis,12 remarkable advances in selenium-catalyzed C=C functionalization have been documented. In continuation of our interest on N-heterocycles synthesis,13 we herein report the first example of 3

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION At

our

studies,

we

used

(E)-3-(phenylamino)-2-styrylquinazolin-4(3H)-one (1a) as the test substrate to determine optimal conditions for the title reaction. In initial experiments 1a was reacted with 2 equivalent of N-Fluorobenzenesulfonimide (NFSI) in the presence of various catalysts in toluene at 110 oC for 48 h. The reaction did not work in the absence of any catalyst (Table 1, entry 1). However, diphenyl diselane as a catalyst provided access to target structure 1,2-diphenylpyrazolo[5,1-b]quinazolin-9(1H)-one (2a) in 49% yield (Table 1, entry 2), while 1,2-dibenzyldisulfane (DBDS) furnished the oxidative amination product 2a only in 17% (Table 1, entry 3). Replacement of 4

diphenyl diselane with other common transition metal catalysts, such as PdCl2 or FeCl3, was ineffective (Table 1, entries 4−5). A survey of solvent revealed that acetonitrile was optimal to give a best 79% yield, and the use of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF), xylene and pyridine led to lower yields (Table 1, entries 6−10). Encouraged by the promising result, we further examined the reaction temperature and found 90 oC was enough for such oxidative/cyclization process (Table 1, entries 11−12). The yield of the desired product decreased when the reaction time was shortened to 24 h (Table 1, entry 11). The classical oxidants such as K2S2O8, 2,3-dicyano-5,6-dichlorobenzoquinone (DDQ) and Cu(OAc)2 diminished the yield of 2a sharply (Table 1, entries 13−15). The yield decreased to some extent by either removing 4 Å molecular sieves from the reaction medium or decreasing the amount of oxidant to 1.0 equivalent (Table 1, entries 16-17). Therefore, the optimal reaction conditions can be summarized as follows: 0.2 mmol substrate in acetonitrile (5 mL) with PhSeSePh catalyst (5 mol %), NFSI (2 equiv) and 4 Å molecular sieves 0.06 g at 90 °C for 48 h under air atmosphere. The structure of 2a was further confirmed by X-ray diffraction analysis (Fig. 2)14. Fig.2 X-ray crystal structure of product 2a.

(E)-3-(phenylamino)-2-styrylquinazolin-4(3H)-ones 1 was investigated. The results showed that both electron-donating and electron-withdrawing substituents were well-tolerated and provided the corresponding products in moderate to good yields. For example, substrates bearing a methyl group afforded the cyclized products 2b, 2c and 2d in 80-85% yield, respectively (Table 2, entries 1-3). Substrate (E)-7,8-dimethyl-3-(phenylamino)-2-styrylquinazolin-4(3H)-one

afforded

the

corresponding desired product 2e in 82% yield similarly (Table 2, entry 4). Electron-donating group such as -OMe at the 6 position of the aryl ring in quinazolinone furnished product 2f in 87% yield. To our delight, the method tolerates the entire range of halogen substituents and strong electron-withdrawing substituent (e.g., -CF3), although the yield of cyclized products 2g-2n were slight lower than those of electron-sufficient substrates, which makes this method particularly appealing, enabling further access to more complex compounds in combination with cross-coupling transformations (Table 2, entries 6−13). We next examined the substitution effect of R2 on the aromatic ring of (E)-3-(phenylamino)-2-styrylquinazolin-4(3H)-ones. Substrates bearing an o-, m- or p-methyl substituent attaching to the amino group were evaluated, affording 2o-2q in 67-82% yield respectively (Table 2, entries 14−16). The lower yield of 2o may arise from the steric hindrance. The electronic property of the substituents is not critical for this transformation. In general, the substrates bearing an electron-donating substituent (eg.

−OMe)

provided

a

yield

than

bearing

Encouraged by the promising result, we further examined the variation of aryl group in styrene motif of (E)-3-(phenylamino)-2-styrylquinazolin-4(3H)-ones (Table 2, entries 23−25). It is obvious that electron-withdrawing groups decreased the cyclization yield to some extent, probably due to the decreasing activity to form active electrophilic additional intermediate with Se species. Alkyl substituents such as isopropyl on the nitrogen atom was also fine compatible with this intramolecular oxidative amination cyclization reaction (Table 2, entries 26). Table 2.

The present synthetic route to pyrazolo[5,1-b]quinazolinone derivatives could be readily scaled up to gram quantity without difficulty. For instance, the reaction at the 3 mmol scale afforded the corresponding product 2a in 78% isolated yield. In addition, N-methylation of 2a gave pyrazolo[5,1-b]quinazolin-4-ium iodide 3a in 95% yield (Scheme 2). Furthermore, the structure of 3a was confirmed by X-ray diffraction analysis (Fig. 3).14

To gain insight into the diphenyl diselane-catalyzed oxidative amination cyclization reaction mechanism, further experiments were performed (Scheme 3). Our initial attempts to perform the reaction in the absence of NFSI failed to give the desired product 2a (Scheme 3a). However, (Z)-3-(Methyl(phenyl)amino)-2-(2-phenyl-1(phenylselanyl)vinyl)-quinazolin-4(3H)-one (5a) was obtained in 50% yield when (E)-3-(methyl(phenyl)amino)-2-styrylquinazolin-4(3H)-one (4a)

was reacted with

stoichiometric PhSeSePh under standard conditions (Scheme 3b), indicating that an intermolecular electrophilic addition of Se species with C=C bonds may occur in this catalytic transformation. A plausible mechanism for this diphenyl diselane-catalyzed oxidative amination cyclization reaction is shown in Scheme 4. First, NFSI undergoes nucleophilic attack by diphenyl diselane leading to cationic species I. Subsequent electrophilic addition to the C=C double of 1 gives rise to seleniranium ion II, and then intramolecular attack of the amino group leads to three-membered ring opening to yield intermediate III. Which in turn undergoes elimination of HF and HN(SO2Ph)2 together with removal of the catalyst to complete the catalytic cycle. 11

CONCLUSIONS In summary, we have developed a new approach for the synthesis of 1,2-diarylpyrazolo[5,1-b]quinazolin-9(1H)-ones by the diphenyl diselane-catalyzed intramolecular

oxidative

amination

cyclization

reaction

of

(E)-3-(phenylamino)-2-styrylquinazolin-4(3H)-ones. This protocol provides an alternative synthetic pathway to access 2,3-heterocycles-fused quinazolinones. Further studies on the other bioactivities of the pyrazolo[5,1-b]quinazolinones and the construction of other useful N-heterocycles are underway in our laboratory.

EXPERIMENTAL SECTION General Methods. Melting points are uncorrected. 1H NMR and 13C NMR spectra were measured on a 500 MHz spectrometer (1H at 500 MHz, 13C at 125 MHz), using CDCl3 and d6-DMSO as the solvent at room temperature. Chemical shifts are given δ 12

All

(E)-3-(phenylamino)-2-styrylquinazolin-4(3H)-one substrates (1a-1w) were prepared by the modified literature methods.15 Other commercially obtained reagents were used without further purification. Column chromatography was performed using EM silica gel 60 (300−400 mesh). X-ray crystallographic analysis was done at the X-ray crystallography facility, Shanghai Institute of Organic Chemistry (SIOC), Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS). General

the

Synthesis

of

1,2-diphenylpyrazolo[5,1-b]quinazolin-9(1H)-ones. To a Schlenk tube were added (E)-3-(phenylamino)-2-styrylquinazolin-4(3H)-one 1 (0.2 mmol), (PhSe)2 (0.01 mmol), NFSI (0.4 mmol), MS 4Å (60 mg) and MeCN (5 mL) under air. The tube was tightly capped and stirred for 10 minutes at room temperature for proper mixing of the reactants, and then heated at 90 °C with vigorous stirring for 48 hours. Then the mixture was poured into 10 mL water, extracted with ethyl acetate (10 mL X 3), the combined organic layers were dried over anhydrous Na2SO4 and filtrated. The solvent was evaporated under vacuum and the residue was purified by flash column chromatography with petroleum ether/ethyl acetate (4:1) to afford the desired products.
