A number of 2-hydroxy-6-methyl-7-(arylamino)-1,7-dihydropurin-8-ones have been synthesized. 3-Oxo-2-(arylhydrazono)butyric acid ethyl ester were acetylated and treated with triethyl amine and formamide in presence of 1,4-dioxane to yield N-(5-acetyl-4-ethoxy-2-oxo-2,5-dihydro-imidazol-1-yl)-N-arylacetamide, which on refluxation with urea and freshly prepared sodium ethoxide yielded the title compound. All the newly synthesized compounds have been characterized by spectroscopic and elemental analysis data. The synthesized compounds were screened against a representative panel of susceptible and resistant Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria using a standard antibiotic drug purinthol as control. Quantitative structure-activity relationship has also been interpreted in terms of correlation of biological activity with molecular refractive index parameters (M(R)) and Hammett substituent constant (sigma).
A general two-step preparation of enantiopure N(alpha),N(beta)-orthogonally diprotected alpha-hydrazino acids 1 is developed on a multigram scale. The key reaction is the efficient electrophilic amination of N-benzyl amino acids 6 with N-Boc-oxaziridine 7 and accommodates various functional groups encountered in side chains of amino acids. The cyclic 2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-3-pyridazine carboxylic acid (piperazic acid) derivatives 2 and 3 or the cyclic 3,4-dihydro-3-pyrazolecarboxylate 4 are conveniently prepared from glutamic acid or aspartic acid via orthogonally diprotected alpha-hydrazino acids 1m and 1n.
An acid-stable hydride complex [Cp*IrIII(bpy)H]+ {1, Cp* = eta5-C5Me5, bpy = 2,2'-bipyridine} serves as the active catalyst for the highly chemoselective synthesis of alpha-amino acids by reductive amination of alpha-keto acids with aqueous NH3 and HCOO- in water at pH 5-8. pH-dependent catalytic 15N- and 2H-double-labeling has also been accomplished by using 15NH3 and DCOONa, which are ideal amine and hydride ion sources, respectively.
