ABSTRACT
We present a convenient synthesis of novel heteroaryl-fused 3-oxo-1,4-thiazepine-5-carboxamides and 5-oxo-1,4-thiazepine-3-carboxamides using a modification of four-component Ugi condensation. We demonstrate the usefulness and versatility of the developed approach for the synthesis of variously substituted compounds and discuss the scope and limitations of the chemistry involved.

Synthesis, biological evaluation and structure-activity relationships for a series of novel nonpeptide small molecule inhibitors of caspase-3 are described. Among the studied compounds, 8-sulfamide derivatives of 1,3-dioxo-4-methyl-2,3-dihydro-1H-pyrrolo[3,4-c]quinolines have been identified as potent inhibitors of caspases-3. The most active compound within this series (8f) inhibited caspase-3 with IC(50)=4 nM.

Two efficient strategies for solution-phase parallel synthesis of libraries of quinoline derivatives are described. The first synthetic pathway features the Pfitzinger reaction of isatin with diethyl malonate and sulfochlorination of the resulting 2-oxo-1,2-dihydroquinoline-4-carboxylate followed by generation of sulfonamide library. The second strategy employs the unusual behavior of 5-sulfamoylisatins in Pfitzinger reactions, which results in formation of 6-sulfamoyl-4-carboxyquinolines instead of the anticipated 2-oxo-1,2-dihydroquinoline structures. The obtained carboxylates appeared to be convenient synthetic intermediates for the generation of the corresponding carboxamide libraries. Using these reagents, the parallel solution-phase synthesis of more than 500 substituted quinoline and 2-oxo-1,2-dihydroquinoline derivatives has been accomplished on the 50-100-mg scale. Simple manual techniques for parallel reactions using special CombiSyn synthesizers were coupled with easy purification procedures to give high-purity final products. The scope and limitations of the developed approaches are discussed.

[reaction: see text] We present a convenient synthesis of novel heterocyclic structures containing pyrrolo[1,2-a][1,4]diazepine fragment using a novel modification of four-component Ugi condensation. We demonstrate the usefulness and versatility of the developed approach for the synthesis of variously substituted compounds and discuss the scope and limitations of the chemistry involved.
