ABSTRACT

The synthesis of novel isoxazolo[2,3-c][1,3,5]thiadiazepin-2-ones has been achieved in excellent yields by one-pot three-component Domino reaction without the production of toxic waste products by using p-toluene sulfonic acid (PTSA) as a Lewis acid catalyst. PTSA plays a crucial role in the success of the reaction, as well as for increasing reaction rate.

1. Introduction

Multi-component reaction (MCRs) have proved to be remarkably successful in generating products in a single synthetic operation [1] [2] and are important owing to their synthetic efficiency [3] [4] . In times, where a premium is put on speed, diversity and efficacy in the drug discovery process [5] , MCR strategies offer significant advantages over conventional linear type syntheses. MCRs contribute to the requirements of an environmentally friendly process by reducing the number of synthetic steps, energy consumption and waste production. MCRs offer a wide range of possibilities for the efficient construction of highly complex molecules in a single procedural step, thus avoiding the complicated purification operations, and allow savings of both solvents and reagents. As a result, it requires minimum effort, which minimizes the environmental loading and is acceptable from a “Green Chemistry Point of View”.

In recent years, the discovery of novel MCRs, has been increasingly active area of research yielding novel chemical scaffolds for drug discovery. Thus, the development of new multi-component reaction is a popular area of research in current organic chemistry [6] . In the past decade, there have been tremendous development in three and four component reactions and great efforts continue to be made to develop new multi-component reactions [7] -[11] .

The use of solid acid catalyst has gained importance in organic synthesis because of their several advantages such as operational simplicity, non-toxicity, reusability, low cost, and easy isolation after completion of the reaction. Careful literature analyses revealed that PTSA acts as a mild, useful, non-toxic and inexpensive Lewis acid catalyst which makes the multi-component synthesis convenient, more economic and environmentally benign. The mild reaction condition, operational simplicity, and the excellent yields make the PTSA more versatile. In recent years, the use of PTSA as a catalyst has received considerable attention in organic transformations [12] -[15] . Especially it makes the reaction rapid, facile and efficient and is devoid of unnecessary derivatization and generation of hazardous substances.

The synthesis of compounds belonging to seven membered ring heterocyclic thiadiazepine series constitutes an important research area due to their impressive array of diverse biological activities such as antimicrobial, analgesic, anticoagulant, and antidepressant properties [16] -[19] . Besides this, biological activities of isoxazoles have made them a focus of medicinal chemistry over the years [20] -[22] .

Based on the versatile bioactivities of thiadiazepines and isoxazoles, it is promising that the investigation of isoxazole scaffold with thiadiazepine segment might result in the discovery of new drug candidates with unknown or enhanced bioactivities. However, the design of thiadiazepine implanted with isoxazole frame work for medicinal properties has been less recognized, and no report is available on the synthesis of isoxazolo[2,3-c] [1,3,5]thiadiazepin-2-ones. Therefore, the development of facile approach to access these novel targets with structural diversity is highly desirable and valuable for medicinal chemistry and drug discovery. In view of this, and as a sequel to our work on multi-component isoxazole based drug syntheses [23] -[30] , we herein, report one-pot three-component Domino reaction for the synthesis of novel thiadiazepines embedded with isoxazole motif via multi-component reaction catalyzed by environmentally friendly PTSA.

2. Results and Discussion

The three-component Domino reaction of 3-amino-5-methylisoxazole 1, mercapto acetic acid 2, and various substituted aromatic aldehydes 3 in acetonitrile in presence of PTSA was carried out under refluxing for 8 h to afford the corresponding novel new 8-methyl-5-arlyl-3,5-dihydro-2H-isoxazolo[2,3-c][1,3,5]thiadiazepin-2-ones 4 in excellent yields (Scheme 1).

Scheme 1.Multi-component synthesis of isoxazolo[2,3-c][1,3,5]thiadiazepin-2-ones catalyzed by PTSA.

To establish feasibility of the strategy and optimize reaction conditions, different solvents in presence of PTSA as inexpensive and readily available catalyst and various other Lewis acid catalysts including InCl3, L-Proline, I2, CAN, FeCl3, ZnCl2 and silica gel were screened. The best overall yield (90%) was obtained with PTSA (10 mol %), whereas without PTSA the product is not formed (Table 1).

The reaction was also explored by utilizing different solvents such as DMF, EtOH, CH3CN, MeOH, 1,4-di- oxane, DCM, EtOAc, H2O, THF, DMSO and Toluene. Among the different solvents tested in this reaction, CH3CN is found to be more effective in terms of excellent yield and less reaction time (Table 2).

The scope and generality of this one-pot three-component synthesis of isoxazolo[2,3-c][1,3,5]thiadiazepin-2- ones 4 through Domino reaction is illustrated by conducting the reaction with substituted aromatic aldehydes

(Ar = 2-CH3C6H4, 4-CH3C6H4, 2-OCH3C6H4, 4-OCH3C6H4, 2-ClC6H4, 2,4-Cl2C6H3, 4-ClC6H4, 4-NO2C6H4 and 3,4-OCH2OC6H3). In each case, the corresponding product 4 was isolated in excellent yield. The results indicated that this method has ability to tolerate a variety of functional groups such as methyl, methoxy (electron releasing), and halo, nitro (electron withdrawing) etc. on aromatic ring under the reaction conditions.

The plausible mechanism for the formation of isoxazolo[2,3-c][1,3,5]thiadiazepin-2-ones 4, may initially involves the reaction of isoxazole amine 1 with mercapto acetic acid 2 being activated by PTSA to give the amide derivative 5. The mercapto group of 5, then attacks the carbonyl group of aromatic aldehyde, which is being activated by PTSA to give the addition product 6. The isxoazole ring nitrogen, influenced by NH group, makes a nucleophilic attack on aldehyde carbon, which subsequently undergoes dehydration to afford the title compound 4, once again by catalytic (PTSA) effect (Scheme 2).

The results demonstrate that PTSA is an efficient catalyst and plays a crucial role in the success of this reaction, as well as for increasing the reaction rate and to produce excellent yield, in CH3CN solvent, because the reaction did not proceed at all in the absence of PTSA catalyst.

To the best of knowledge, this happens to be the first report on the synthesis of novel isoxazolo[2,3-c][1,3,5] thiadiazepin-2-ones. The structure of the products 4a-j have been established on the basis of spectral (IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR and MS) and analytical data. Isoxazolo[2,3-c][1,3,5]thiadiazepin-2-ones 4 exhibited characteristic absorption bands at 1680 and 1620 cm1 due to C=O and C=N functional group stretching vibrations respectively. 1H NMR spectra of 4 displayed to prominent singlets at d 4.27 and 5.50 due to CH2 and NCHAr proton respectively confirming the cyclization. 13C NMR spectra of 4 is consistent with the proposed structure by displaying the absorption peaks at 39.57, 66.05, 160.32 and 193.47 due to CH2, NCHAr, C=N and C=O carbons respectively. Mass spectrum of 4a fully agrees with the cyclised structure which showed the molecular ion [M+H]+ peak at m/z 261. Elemental analyses are in full agreement with the proposed structures by confirming elemental composition and purity of the newly synthesized compounds.

3. Conclusions

In conclusion, we demonstrated a mild and efficient PTSA catalyzed synthesis of isoxazolo[2,3-c][1,3,5]thiadi- azepin-2-ones using one-pot three-component Domino reaction. The results indicate that PTSA is an efficient, eco-friendly and cost-effective catalyst for this reaction. The obvious advantages of the method are 1) operational simplicity, 2) high atom economy, 3) excellent yields, and 4) products are isolated in pure form by recrystallization without intervention of chromatography. The newly synthesized isoxazolo[2,3-c][1,3,5] thiadiazepin-2-ones might exhibit interesting pharmacology activities and may act as potential drug candidates.

After completion of the reaction (monitored by TLC), the reaction mixture was poured on to crushed ice, and the resulted precipitate was filtered and washed with cold alcohol and recrystallized from ethyl acetate to afford the pure product 4a. This procedure was followed for all other reactions.
