Nitroimidazoles XVII. Nucleophilic amination or ring transformation in reactions of 1-aryl-4-nitroimidazoles with 4-amino-1,2,4-triazole or hydroxylamine
摘要:
1-aryl-4-nitroimidazoles under action of 4-amino-1,2,4-triazole in the presence of MeONa in DMSO undergo a vicarious nucleophilic substitution of hydrogen to give 5-amino-1-aryl-4-nitroimidazoles. If reacted with hydroxylamine in the presence of KOH or MeONa in methanol (but not in DMSO) 1-aryl-4-nitroimidazoles undergo a transformation to 4-acylamino-2-aryl-1-oxy-2H-1,2.3-triazoles but do not yield amination products.
Synthesis and photochemical properties of 1-aryl-4-nitroimidazoles are described. These compounds are good sensitizers of superoxide ion. Only 1-phenyl-2-methyl-4-nitroimidazole is a photosensitizer of singlet oxygen.
Nitroimidazoles are a well-known class of antibacterial and antiprotozoal drugs but in spite of the widespread clinical and veterinary use of these drugs, this family has been stigmatized in part due to associated genotoxicity problems. Here we report the synthesis, the anti-trypanosomal activity and a structure–activity relationship (SAR) study of a series of about fifty 1-aryl-4-nitro-1H-imidazoles
