Reacting N-aryliminophosphoranes with 1-(het)aroyl-2-aryldiazenes in preheated diphenyl ether at ca. 150-250 °C for 5-25 min affords most cases the 1,3-diaryl-1,4-dihydrobenzo[e][1,2,4]triazin-4-yls (aka Blatter radicals) moderate to good yields. All new compounds are fully characterized, including EPR and CV studies radicals. Single-crystal X-ray structures of 1-benzoyl-2-(perfluorophenyl)diazene 1-(perfluorophenyl)-3-phenyl-1,4-dihydrobenzo[e][1,2,4]triazinyl also presented.
1,3-Diphenylbenzo[e][1,2,4]triazin-7(1H)-one, the oxidation product of 1,3-diphenyl-1,4-dihydro-1,2,4-benzotriazin-4-yl (Blatter's radical), reacts with N′-arylbenzamidines in PhMe at ca. 100 °C presence N,N-diisopropylethylamine (Hünig's base) (1 equiv.) to give N′-aryl-N-(1,7-dihydro-7-oxo-1,3-diphenylbenzo[e][1,2,4]triazin-6-yl)benzimidamides 49–95% yield.

Benzo[4,5]imidazo[1,2-c]quinazoline-6-carbonitriles are prepared in high yields via three new routes: (1) a Cu(OTf)2 (0-5 mol %) catalyzed hypervalent iodine [PhI(OTf)2] mediated oxidative coupling of 4-anilinoquinazoline-2-carbonitriles neat trifluoroacetic acid (TFA); (2) Pd(OAc)2 (10 or CuI nonoxidative 4-(2-bromoanilino)quinazoline-2-carbonitrile; and (3) Pd(Ar3P)3 [Ar = 3,5-(F3C)2C6H3] [aka Superstable Pd(0) Catalyst] intramolecular C-N cyclization...
2-Amino-N′-arylbenzamidines react with 4,5-dichloro-1,2,3-dithiazolium chloride (Appel salt) in the presence of Hünig's base (2 equiv) to give one step 3-aryl-4-imino-3,4-dihydroquinazoline-2-carbonitriles 53–81% yields. Nine examples are presented along single-crystal X-ray structure 4-imino-3-phenyl-3,4-dihydroquinazoline-2-carbonitrile. Furthermore, behavior latter toward both acid and hydrolysis is investigated. All new compounds fully characterized, a mechanistic rationale for formation...
The optimization of a multicomponent reaction, to prepare triarylpyridines (triphenylpyridine), and which includes 17 examples where each aryl substituent is distinct (non-symmetric pyridine) reported. non-symmetric triarylpyridine aqrar forming reaction involves the sequential addition two different acetophenones benzylamine in DMF presence copper (I) iodide (20 mol %), methanolic ammonia (2 equiv.), oxygen. optimized method was used give twenty five 43–91% yield, including products with...
Cell viability studies for benzo[1,2,4]triazin-7-ones and 1,2,4-benzotriazinyl (Blatter-type) radical precursors are described with comparisons made 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-1-piperidinyloxy (TEMPO). All of the stable free radicals were several orders magnitude less cytotoxic than benzo[1,2,4]triazin-7-ones. The synthesis evaluation two new pyrid-2-yl described, where altering 1,3-substitution from phenyl to increased cytotoxicity against most cancer cell lines, as indicated using National Cancer...
The reactivity of hydrogen peroxide and catalytic hydroiodic acid toward 3,6-dimethoxy-2-(cycloamino)anilines is tunable to give ring-fused benzimidazoles or 1,4,6,9-tetramethoxyphenazine in high yield. Mechanisms via a detected nitroso-intermediate are proposed for oxidative cyclization the unexpected intermolecular displacement oxazine. An aqueous solution molecular iodine capable same transformations. Oxidative demethylation gave targeted benzimidazolequinones, including without cleavage...
7-Oxo-1,2,4-benzotriazines (benzo[1,2,4]triazin-7-ones) are reversible thioredoxin reductase inhibitors that exhibit very strong correlations to pleurotin. In this article, we provide the first synthesis of fluorinated derivatives. Fluorination using Selectfluor benzo[1,2,4]triazin-7-ones occurs regioselectively and in high yield at enamine-activated position. This electron N-lone pair activation overrides activation/deactivation effects some other substituents. The reaction time was...

The traditional thermal Mannich reaction is unsuitable for preparing polymerizable N-methylene amino substituted acrylamides and methacrylamides. Herein we provide a facile multi-gram high yield synthesis of these monomeric precursors to stimuli-responsive polymers by the addition methacrylamides onto in situ generated or freshly isolated methylene Schiff base (iminium) salts. X-ray crystal structure hydrated iminium salt, 1-(hydroxymethyl)azocan-1-ium chloride monomer·HCl salt...
β-Thalassemia (β-thal) is a hemoglobinopathy characterized by reduced or absent β-globin production. Pharmacological reactivation of the γ-globin gene for production fetal hemoglobin (Hb F) presents an attractive treatment strategy. In effort to identify promising therapeutic agents, we evaluated 80 analogues histone deacetylase inhibitor MS-275, known Hb F inducer. The chemical were identified via molecular modeling and targeted modifications. Nine novel agents exhibited significant...
