Abstract

Herein it is provided an efficient, environmentally friendly and one-pot procedure for the synthesis of a library of new and diversely substituted 1,3-thiazolidin-4-ones in short reaction times and good yields through a solvent-, catalyst- and desiccant-free three-component process. Reactions proceeded by treatment of primary benzyl(aryl)amines with aromatic aldehydes (and ketones) and 2-mercaptoacetic acid acting as both reagent and self-catalyst. All reactions were performed in sand bath instead of the commonly used oil bath avoiding the generation of undesired volatile materials proceeding of the thermal decomposition of the oils. IR, Mass and NMR experiments as well as X-ray diffraction confirmed structures of the obtained products.

1 Introduction

The structural and therapeutic diversity of small heterocyclic molecules coupled with their commercial availability has fascinated organic and medicinal chemists. For this reason, the design of new substances based on privileged scaffolds is one of the successful directions in drug discovery. According to this approach, thiazolidin-4-one scaffold has been gaining prominence in recent years, due to the fact that many of them have proved interesting activity profiles namely anti-inflammatory (Look et al., 1996), anti-histaminic (Diurno et al., 1992), antibacterial (Anders et al., 2000; Kucukguzel et al., 2002), antifungal (Karali et al., 1998; Fahmy, 2001), anticonvulsant (Ergenc and Capan, 1994; Capan et al., 1966), antituberculosis (Bukowski et al., 1998; Ulusoy, 2002; Babaoglu et al., 2003), anticancer (Lesyk et al., 2011; Kaminsky et al., 2011; Kaminsky and Lesyk, 2010; Gududuru et al., 2004a, 2004b; Ottanà et al., 2005), antiviral (Rawal et al., 2007, 2008; Barreca et al., 2001; Rao et al., 2002, 2003, 2004) and anti-Candida and antioxidant (Secci et al., 2016; De Monte et al., 2016). Fig. 1 shows some representative examples of this family of compounds.

Compound 1 showed a potent activity as a non-nucleoside inhibitor of the hepatitis C virus NS5B RNA-dependant RNA polymerase (Rawal et al., 2008). Compound 2 displayed a superior in vitro anticancer activity than other related compounds, showing its highest susceptibility against the Leukemia panel (Kaminsky et al., 2011), compounds 3 exhibited high COX-2 inhibitory selectivity and potency (Unsal-Tan et al., 2012), while compound 4 and some of its analogues have been reported as promising and selective HIV-1 reverse transcriptase inhibitors. From a structure-activity relationship (SAR) point of view, the anti-HIV activity displayed by this family of compounds is strongly dependent on the nature of the substituents at C-2 and N-3 of the thiazolidin-4-one ring (Rao et al., 2003, 2004; Barreca et al., 2001).

Because of the high reaction rates, selectivity and efficiency, as well as the low cost and small environmental impact, multicomponent reactions (MCRs) have become a powerful tool to access a vast number of synthetic and pharmaceutically relevant compounds (Dömling, 2005a; Dömling et al., 2012; Jarusiewicz et al., 2009). MCRs are convergent reactions in which three or more starting materials react in a single chemical step to form a product that incorporates substantial portions of all components. Thus, there is a network of reaction equilibria, which all finally flow into an irreversible step that leads to the formed products (Tietze, 1996; Dömling, 2005b; Coquerel et al., 2010).

Usually the synthesis of the thiazolidin-4-ones has been carried out via two- and three-component reactions involving primary amines, an oxo-compound and thiolic acids, commonly under harsh and environmentally unfriendly reaction conditions. In this sense, several synthetic approaches, with minor or major success, have been reported, as shown in Scheme 1, entry (a).

In contrast, we are proposing here an environmentally friendly synthesis of new C-2 and N-3 disubstituted thiazolidin-4-ones through a catalyst-, solvent- and desiccant-free three-component approach, as shown in Scheme 1, entry (b).

2 Results and discussion

Continuing with our current studies on the synthetic utility of benzylamines (Castillo et al., 2009; Abonia et al., 2010a, 2013) and 2-mercaptoacetic acid (Abonia, 2014), herein, we report an efficient synthetic procedure to prepare 1,3-thiazolidin-4-ones in good to excellent yield starting from primary benzylamines and anilines through a three-component approach without using solvent, catalyst or desiccant agents, constituting the main advantage with respect to the previous reported methods.

Recently, we found that the heating of a solvent- and catalyst-free three-component mixture of 5-aminopyrazoles 5, benzaldehydes 6 and 2-mercaptoacetic acid 7a at 120 °C, afforded the respective pyrazolothiazepinones 8 in good to excellent yields (Scheme 2) (Abonia, 2014). In order to evaluate the effect of replacing the 5-aminopyrazole motifs 5 by primary benzylamines 9, a mixture of benzylamine 9a (R1 = H) (1 equiv), 3,4,5-trimethoxybenzaldehyde 6a (R = 3,4,5-(OCH3)3) (1 equiv) and 2-mercaptoacetic acid 7a (1.1 equiv) was subjected to the above reaction conditions as a model approach (Scheme 2). Upon consumption of the starting materials after 30 min of heating (monitored by thin-layer chromatography, TLC), the obtained residue was purified from aqueous ethanol, affording a yellow solid. After analysis by spectroscopic techniques, interestingly we noticed the formation of the thiazolidin-4-one derivative 10a in 78% yield instead of its corresponding eightmembered thiazocinone 11 structurally related to the structure 8.

The most relevant spectroscopic features to confirm the structure proposed for compound 10a corresponded to the presence of NC⚌O and C—O absorption bands at 1675 and (1237, 1007) cm−1, respectively, in the IR spectrum. Two doublets at 3.71 and 5.08 ppm (J = 14.8 Hz and J = 14.8 Hz, respectively) corresponding to the PhCH2 protons, a double-doublet integrating for 1H at 3.78 ppm (J = 1.0, 15.6 Hz) assigned to Ha-5, a multiplet integrating for 10H in the range of 3.82–3.88 ppm assigned to (OCH3)3 and Hb-5, and a doublet integrating for 1H at 5.36 ppm (J = 1.5 Hz) assigned to H-2, along with the remaining 7H aromatic protons are the most relevant signals in the 1H NMR spectrum of 10a. The absence of a NH signal in both IR and 1H NMR spectra also agrees with the proposed structure 10a. The presence of two methylene carbon atoms at 33.1 and 46.5 ppm assigned to C-5 and PhCH2 respectively, two types of (OCH3) carbon atoms at 56.2 and 63.5 ppm, the C-2 signal at 60.8 ppm and the NC⚌O signal at 171.2 ppm are the most relevant features in the 13C NMR spectrum of 10a. Finally, a molecular ion with m/z 359 (88%), and a base peak with m/z 284 [M-75] (100%), also confirmed the proposed structure for compound 10a.

Given the success of the model reaction, we decided to evaluate the scope of this multicomponent approach by extending our synthetic methodology to the benzaldehydes chemset 6a–d and the benzylamines and anilines chemset 9a–f, Fig. 2.

Similar to our first test, the reactions proceeded smoothly and a set of diversely substituted thiazolidin-4-ones 10 was obtained in moderate to excellent yields, Table 1.

A further exploration of the scope and limitations of this methodology consisted in trying the reaction with heterocyclic aldehydes 6e–g and ketones 6h,i chemsets as carbonylic precursors, Fig. 3.

Additional aldehydes 6e-g and ketones 6h,i employed for the synthesis of a further family of product 10.

In all cases, reaction proceeded in similar manner and the expected products 10p–w were obtained in good yields, Table 2. Interestingly, the six-membered 1,3-thiazin-4-one 12 was obtained when 3-mercaptopropionic acid 7b was used instead of the 2-mercaptoacetic one 7a.

The presence of the NC⚌O functionality (evidenced in the range of 1652–1736 cm−1 in IR and 170.6–172.8 ppm in 13C NMR spectra), two double-doublets for C-5(Ha)/C-5(Hb) proton [carbon] (in the range of 3.62–3.88/3.75–5.16 ppm and [31.3–33.4] ppm) in the 1H and 13C NMR spectra respectively, and a narrow doublet (singlet for structures 10e, 10g, 10i, 10j, 10m, 10p and 10r–10t) assigned to C-2(H) proton [carbon] (in the range of 5.34–6.57, and [54.3–65.2] ppm), were the determinant structural features of the thiazolidin-4-one skeleton in compounds 10. Particularly, in the case of the spiro-derivatives 10u–w, the quaternary C-2 carbon atoms appeared in the range of 70.5–74.4 ppm in their 13C NMR spectra. In the case of the 1,3-thiazin-4-one 12, its NC⚌O functionality appeared at 1645 cm−1 in the IR and 169.5 ppm in 13C NMR spectra, while the C-2(H) proton [carbon] appeared as singlet at 5.38 ppm in the 1H NMR and 61.2 ppm in the 13C NMR spectra, respectively.

In addition to the above spectroscopic experiments and in order to unequivocally demonstrate the formation of the thiazolidin-4-one derivatives 10, single crystals suitable for X-ray diffraction of compounds 10a (Fig. 4) and 10l (Moreno-Fuquen et al., 2014), were grown by slow evaporation in ethanol at room temperature, as shown in Fig. 4 and Tables 3 and 4. According to the results there is no doubt that, the obtained compounds effectively corresponded to 1,3-thiazolidin-4-ones 10 as proposed in Scheme 1 and Tables 1 and 2.

The more likely mechanism for the formation of the thiazolidin-4-one 10 and thiazin-4-one 12 skeletons is described in Scheme 3.

Proposed mechanistic sequence for the formation of products 10 and 12 via the iminium intermediate 13.
Scheme 3
Proposed mechanistic sequence for the formation of products 10 and 12 via the iminium intermediate 13.

According to this mechanistic approach, formation in situ of the iminium species 13 is suggested as the first step, followed by a nucleophilic attack of the —SH moiety of 7 on the activated azomethinic carbon atom in 13 affording the γ-amino-acid 14. This latter, suffers an intramolecular amidation process releasing a molecule of water to afford the isolated compounds 10, 12. Interestingly, the source of protons during the process is supplied by the mercapto-acids 7a,b themselves. Therefore, this process certainly corresponds to a self-catalyzed three-component approach with a double role of the mercapto-acids 7a,b acting as both the reagents and the catalysts. The last step in Scheme 3 is associated with the rate limiting for obtaining low or high yields of thiazolidin-4-ones 10 (Srivastava et al., 2002) and for instance thiazin-4-ones 12. Consequently, to enhance the efficiency of this reaction, a variety of desiccants has been employed for removing the water during the cyclization process. Currently, either azeotropic distillation or molecular sieves have been used with this purpose (Kaminsky et al., 2011; Rawal et al., 2008; Holmes et al., 1995). Additionally, anhydrous ZnCl2 (Srinivas et al., 2008), trimethylorthoformate (Holmes et al., 1995) or sodium sulfate (Sharma and Kumar, 2000) have also worked as desiccants. Particularly, in our case the use of a desiccant was unnecessary because our methodology proceeded without using solvent and the mixture was heated at 120 °C in open vessel glassware. This fact guaranteed the removal of the water as soon as it was forming during the reaction progress.

The general character of this approach was confirmed by using not only primary benzylamines (products 10a10l, 10p10v and 12) but also primary anilines (products 10m10o and 10w) which worked well although with relative lower yields. The reaction worked well not only with the ordinary aldehydes (products 10a10o and 12) but also with heterocyclic aldehydes (products 10p10t) and ketones (products 10u10w) as the carbonyl reagents. Interestingly, no limitation was found when 2-mercaptoacetic acid 7a was replaced by 3-mercaptopropionic acid 7b. As expected, the larger six-membered thiazin-4-one ring 12 was effectively obtained, extending moreover the scope of this simple methodology and opening a future research line on thiazin-4-one derivatives under the established reaction conditions.

It is worth mentioning that all reactions were performed in a sand bath instead of the commonly recommended oil baths. This fact avoided the generation of undesired volatile materials associated with the thermal decomposition of the utilized oils. Consequently, no final disposition of the bath was required. It is also remarkable, that in this three-component procedure, three new bonds were formed during the process. This finding is in agreement with the atomic economy and bond-forming efficiency (BFE) concepts characteristic of the multicomponent reactions (Dömling, 2005a, 2005b; Dömling et al., 2012; Jarusiewicz et al., 2009; Tietze, 1996; Coquerel et al., 2010). Moreover, production of water as the unique by-product during the overall process, brings this approach effectively near to an environmentally friendly three-component synthesis.

3 Conclusions

In summary, we have implemented a simple, efficient and environmentally friendly solvent-, catalyst- and desiccant-free three-component approach for the synthesis of a library of new and diversely disubstituted 1,3-thiazolidin-4-ones in short reaction times and good yields. Reaction proceeded by the heating at 120 °C, in a sand bath, a mixture of benzyl(aryl)amines 9, aromatic aldehydes (and ketones) 6 and 2-mercaptoacetic acid 7a acting as both a reagent and a self-catalyst. When acid 7a was replaced by 3-mercaptopropionic acid 7b, the six-membered thiazin-4-one 12 was obtained as unique product. Although most previous reports have required acid catalysts and/or desiccant agents to remove the releasing water to guarantee good yields, our open vessel methodology proceeded efficiently without using any of these additives.

4.1 Materials

Melting points were determined on a Büchi melting point B-450 apparatus and are uncorrected. IR spectra were recorded on a Shimadzu FTIR 8400 spectrophotometer in KBr disks and films. 1H and 13C NMR spectra were recorded on a Bruker Avance 400 spectrophotometer operating at 400 MHz and 100 MHz respectively, and using CDCl3 as solvent and tetramethylsilane as internal standard. Mass spectra were run on a SHIMADZU-GCMS 2010-DI-2010 spectrometer (equipped with a direct inlet probe) operating at 70 eV. Single-crystal X-ray data for compound 10a were collected at temperature (120 K) on a Kappa-CCD diffractometer, Monochromator graphite, CCD rotation images, using MoKα radiation (0.71073 Å) and deposited at Cambridge Crystallographic Data Center (CCDC reference: 1471083). Microanalyses were performed on an Agilent elemental analyzer and the values are within ±0.4% of the theoretical values. Silica gel aluminum plates (Merck 60 F254) were used for analytical TLC. The starting amines 9 and the remaining reagents and solvents were purchased from Aldrich, Fluka and Acros (analytical reagent grades) and were used without further purification. Due to the heterocyclic aldehyde 6e is commercially unavailable, and it was synthesized following a similar procedure described earlier (Abonia et al., 2010b).
