Abstract
A convenient process for the preparation of 6-aryl-6,7-dihydro-8H-thiopyrano[2,3-b]pyrazin-8-ones has been developed, which employs the reaction of 3-aryl-1-(3-chloropyrazin-2-yl)prop-2-en-1-ones, derived from 2- chloropyrazine and 3-arylprop-2-enals, with NaSH in DMF at –20 °C.We previously reported a synthesis of three types of 2,3-dihydro-4H-thiopyranopyridin-4-ones by the reaction of respective 1-(chloropyridinyl)alk-2-en-1-ones, derived from chloropyridines and α,β-unsaturated aldehydes, with sodium hydrogensulfide.1 As an extension of this work, we became interested in exploring the possibility of the preparation of 6,7-dihydro-8H-thiopyrano[2,3-b]pyrazin-8- one derivatives by a similar sequence starting from 2-chloropyrazine (1). These fused heterocycles are of potentially biological interest, because related systems have been reported to exhibit variety of biological activities.2 Herein, we wish to demonstrate the first preparation of these thiopyranopyrazinone derivatives. We found that 6-aryl-6,7-dihydro-8H-thiopyrano[2,3-b]pyrazin-8-ones (4) could be obtained by treating 3-aryl-1-(3-chloropyrazin-2-yl)prop-2-en-1-ones (3), easily prepared from 1 and 3-arylprop-2-enals by an easy two-step sequence, with sodium hydrogensulfide in DMF at –20 °C.
Our three-step synthesis of 6-aryl-6,7-dihydro-8H-thiopyrano[2,3-b]pyrazin-8-ones (4) from 2- chloropyrazine (1) and 3-arylprop-2-enals was accomplished according to the sequence illustrated in Scheme 1. Thus, 2-chloro-3-lithiopyrazine was generated by the treatment of 1 with lithium diisopropylamide (LDA) in THF at –78 °C under the conditions reported previously,3 and was allowed to react with 3-arylprop-2-enals at the same temperature to produce 3-aryl-1-(3-chloropyrazin-2-yl)prop-2-en-1-ols (2) in good yields as listed in Table 1. Oxidation of 2 with excess activated manganese(IV) oxide in acetone at room temperature afforded good yields of 3-aryl-1-(3-chloropyrazin-2-yl)prop-2-en-1-ones (3) as shown in Table 1 as well.
Initially, 1-(3-chloropyrazin-2-yl)-3-phenylprop-2-en-1-ol (3a) was treated with an equivalent of sodium hydrogensulfide in DMF at 0 °C to obtain 6-phenyl-6,7-dihydro-8H-thiopyrano[2,3-b]pyrazin-8-ones (4a). The starting material was consumed within 30 min, but aqueous workup followed by purification by column chromatography on silica gel gave a rather complicated mixture of products, from which the desired product was isolated only in 36% yield. Next, the reaction was carried out in varied solvents, such as ethanol, acetonitrile, or DMSO–THF (3:1, v/v) in order to improve the yield. Unfortunately, however, the use of these solvents gave disappointing results; on the basis of 1H NMR spectral analyses only about 5% yield of 4a was included in more complicated reaction mixtures. When the reaction was carried out with two equivalents of sodium hydrogensulfide in DMF, the reaction proceeded more rapidly but the yield was scarcely improved. Therefore, we conducted the reaction at –20 °C with an equivalent of sodium hydrogensulfide in DMF. The ring formation reaction proceeded slowly but much more cleanly and the desired product (4a) was obtained in 68% yield (Table 1, Entry 1). The other seven precursors 3b–h were then subjected to the reaction with sodium hydrogensulfide under the optimized conditions described above to afford the corresponding products (4b–h) in the yields listed in Table 1 as well. While the results in Table 1 show that the yields of 4 are generally fair, that of the product from the substrate derived from 3-(4-chlorophenyl)prop-2-enal (4c) was somewhat lower than those of the others (Entry 3). trans-7-Methyl-6-phenyl-6,7-dihydro-8H-thiopyrano[2,3-b]pyrazin-8-one (4g) was produced almost exclusively; only a trace amount of its diastereomer (cis isomer) was detected by 1H NMR spectrum of the crude product (Entry 7). Although no unambiguous evidences for the stereochemistry of 4g could be obtained, we tentatively determined it to be trans, considering the lower encumbrance of the trans-form. The substrate derived from 3-(thiophen-2-yl)prop-2-enal (3h) yielded the 6-(thiophen-2-yl) derivative (4h) (Entry 8).
Subsequently, to investigate the scope of the present process, the substrate derived from 1 and but-2-enal (crotonaldehyde), 1-(3-chloropyrazin-2-yl)but-2-en-1-ones, was subjected to the reaction with sodium hydrogensulfide under the same condition described above. Unfortunately, however, it resulted in the formation of a considerably complex mixture of products, from which no more than a trace amount of the desired product, 6-methyl-6,7-dihydro-8H-thiopyrano[2,3-b]pyrazin-8-one could not be obtained.
In conclusion, we have demonstrate that the reaction of 3-(het)aryl-1-(3-chloropyrazin-2-yl)prop-2-en-1-ones, derived from 2-chloropyrazine and 3-(het)arylprop-2-enals by an easy two step sequence, with sodium hydrogensulfide gives 6-(het)aryl-6,7-dihydro-8H-thiopyrano[2,3-b]pyrazin-8-ones, which had not been prepared previously. The present method may be of use in organic synthesis because of the ready availability of starting materials and the simplicity of manipulations, and may provide interesting pharmacophores.
EXPERIMENTAL
All melting points were obtained on a Laboratory Devices MEL-TEMP II melting apparatus and are uncorrected. IR spectra were recorded with a Perkin–Elmer Spectrum65 FTIR spectrophotometer. 1H NMR spectra were recorded in CDCl3 using TMS as an internal reference with a JEOL ECP500 FT NMR spectrometer operating at 500 MHz or JEOL LA400 FT NMR spectrometer operating at 400 MHz. 13C NMR spectra were recorded in CDCl3 using TMS as an internal reference with a JEOL ECP500 FT NMR spectrometer operating at 125 MHz. High-resolution MS spectra (DART, positive) were measured by a Thermo Scientific Exactive spectrometer. TLC was carried out on Merck Kieselgel 60 PF254. Column chromatography was performed using WAKO GEL C-200E. All of the organic solvents used in this study were dried over appropriate drying agents and distilled prior to use.

All other chemicals used in this study were commercially available.
