Abstract

The hydrazide-hydrazones 6a–d and 7a, b were obtained by treating isatin (1) or its Mannich base 2 with hydrazides incorporating piperidine, morpholine, and piperazine units. The reaction of 1 and 2 with hydrazides related to triazenes having piperidine, morpholine, and 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline moieties gave 12a–c and 13a–c. Treatment of 1 and 2 with iminodiacetohydrazide (14) and ethylenediamine tetraacetohydrazide (18) afforded 15–17 and 19a, b, respectively. The Mannich reaction of the Schiff base 20 with formaldehyde and the appropriate hydrazide or bis(hydrazide) gave 21a, b and 22a, b. The hydrazides related to Schiff bases 20 and 26 were used as precursors in synthesis of compounds incorporating two 2-oxoindoline units or formazan moiety.

1 Introduction

The chemistry and pharmacological activities of hydrazide-hydrazones have been the object of considerable synthetic effort, and a variety of biologically active hydrazide-hydrazones have been described [1], [2], [3], [4]. Variously substituted hydrazide-hydrazones have been extensively studied as ligands in a wide range of metal complexes, and are used as starting materials for the synthesis of biologically active compounds as well as for the construction of heterocyclic systems. Depending on the substitution pattern and functionalization, hydrazide-hydrazones have shown to be effective antitubercular [5], [6], [7], anticonvulsant [8], [9], and antimicrobial [10], [11] agents. In particular, considerable attention has been devoted to the reaction of isatin with hydrazine derivatives because of the potent anticonvulsant [12], [13], [14] and antitubercular activity [15], [16], [17], [18] of the products.

In view of this, and in connection with our studies in this area [19], [20], the reaction of isatin (1) and 1-(piperidinomethyl)isatin (2) with a variety of hydrazides was further investigated as a route to some new hydrazide-hydrazones of pharmaceutical interest.

2 Results and discussion

The interest in the pharmacological activities of compounds having a piperidine, morpholine, or piperazine moiety as a structural unit prompted us to prepare 2-oxo-2-(piperidin-1-yl)acetohydrazide (4a), the morpholino analog (4b), and the bis(hydrazide) 5b, as depicted in Scheme 1. The reaction of 1 with 4a and 4b gave 2-oxo-N′-(2-oxoindolin-3-ylidene)-2-(piperidin-1-yl)acetohydrazide (6a) and 2-morpholino-2-oxo-N′-(2-oxoindolin-3-ylidene)acetohydrazide (6b), respectively.

A similar reaction of the Mannich base 2 with 4a and 4b afforded the corresponding hydrazide-hydrazones 6c and 6d. In line with this, treatment of 1 and 2 with the bis(hydrazide) 5b gave 2,2′-(piperazine-1,4-diyl)-bis(2-oxo-N′-(2-oxoindolin-3-ylidene)acetohydrazide) (7a) and the related bis(Mannich base) 7b, respectively (Scheme 1).

In connection with this study, we prepared a new series of hydrazides related to triazenes incorporating a piperidine, morpholine, and 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline moiety as a structural unit. This was achieved by a reaction sequence which involved the coupling of ethyl 4-(chlorodiazenyl)benzoate (8) with the appropriate sec-amine to give the ethyl 4-(amino-diazenyl)benzoates 9a–c, which were converted into the corresponding hydrazides 11a–c (Scheme 2).

The coupling of 8 with piperazine afforded diethyl 4,4′-(piperazine-1,4-diyl-bis(diazene-2,1-diyl))dibenzoate (10), which is sparingly soluble in most organic solvents. Treatment of 1 with 11a–c afforded the N′-(2-oxoindolin-3-ylidene)-benzohydrazides 12a–c. The synthesis of the corresponding Mannich bases 13a–c was achieved by the reaction of 2 with 11a–c.

Treatment of 1 and 2 with iminodiacetohydrazide (14) [21] afforded iminobis(N′-(2-oxoindolin-3-ylidene)acetohydrazide) (15) and the corresponding bis(Mannich base) (16), respectively (Scheme 3).

The Mannich reaction of the sec-amine moiety of compound 15 with isatin has been of considerable synthetic interest, because it provides access to bis(hydrazide-hydrazones) of isatin, incorporating isatin N-Mannich base as a structural unit. Thus, 15 was treated with formalin and isatin to afford 17. The mass spectra of compounds 15, 16, and 17 revealed molecular ion peaks at m/z=419 (36%), 612 (12%, [M–1]+), and 578 (51%), respectively, and fragmentation patterns which support their structures. The major fragmentation peaks can be accounted for cleavage in the hydrazide-hydrazone side chain.

In an extension of this study, the reaction of ethylenediamine tetraacetohydrazide (EDTA)-tetrahydrazide (18) [22] with isatin constitutes an interesting approach toward the synthesis of the corresponding tetra(hydrazide-hydrazones). This has been realized by treating isatin with 18 in a molar ratio of 4 to 1 to give the tetra(acetohydrazide) 19a. The analogous reaction of the Mannich base 2 with 18 afforded the tetrakis(Mannich base) 19b (Scheme 4).

Although the synthetic utility of various amines in the Mannich reaction with isatin and its Schiff bases is well established, the use of hydrazides as the amine components in such reactions has not been reported. One of the specific objectives of this study was to investigate the possibility of using hydrazides as the amine components in the Mannich reaction with the Schiff bases of isatin. Therefore, the Schiff base 20 [13] was treated with isonicotinic hydrazide and formaldehyde to give the isonicotinohydrazide 21a (Scheme 5).

A similar reaction takes place with phenoxyacetohydrazide yielding 21b. The synthetic potential of Mannich reactions with bis(hydrazides) was established by its application to the synthesis of the Mannich bases 22a and 22b. This has been realized by treating 20 with formaldehyde and oxalohydrazide to afford the oxalohydrazide 22a. The similar reaction with malonohydrazide afforded 22b.

A variety of isatin Schiff bases with various substitution patterns have been synthesized and studied with interest centered on their potential pharmaceutical activities [12], [23], [24], [25], [26], [27]. In view of this, 2-(2-oxo-3-(p-tolylimino)indolin-1-yl)acetohydrazide (23b) was synthesized starting from the Schiff base 20. Treatment of isatin with 23b afforded the hydrazide-hydrazone 24, incorporating two 2-oxoindoline moieties, and this was subjected to the Mannich reaction with piperidine and formaldehyde to give the Mannich base 25 (Scheme 6).

The mass spectrum of compound 24 indicated the molecular ion peak at m/z=437 (65%, [M]+), whereas the Mannich base 25 is unstable to electron impact. The molecular ion peak [M]+ was absent, and only fragment peaks were detected.

In the course of our study, the hydrazide-hydrazone 27 has been used as a precursor for the synthesis of isatin Schiff bases incorporating a formazan moiety as a structural unit. This has been achieved by coupling benzenediazonium chloride with 27 to afford the formazan 28 (Scheme 7). The formation of 28 is of interest because formazans have been extensively studied as ligands in a wide range of metal complexes [28], [29], [30] and a variety of biologically active formazans have been described [31], [32], [33].

3 Experimental section

All melting points (uncorrected) were determined on a Gallenkamp electric melting point apparatus (Sanyo Gallenkamp, Southborough, UK). Elemental microanalyses were carried out on a Carlo Erba 1108 Elemental Analyzer (Heraeus, Hanau, Germany) at the Microanalytical Unit, Faculty of Science, Cairo University. Infrared spectra were measured on a Mattson 5000 FTIR spectrometer (Mattson Instruments, Inc., Madison, WI, USA). 1H and 13C NMR data were obtained in [D6]DMSO solution on a Varian XL 300 MHz instrument (Varian, Inc., CA, USA) using tetramethylsilane (TMS) as an internal standard. Chemical shifts are reported in ppm (δ) downfield from internal TMS. Mass spectra were recorded on a GC-MS QP-1000 EX Shimadzu instrument (Shimadzu, Tokyo, Japan).
