ABSTRACT: A series of 6'-chloro-1',1'-dioxospiro[4H-benzo[d][1,3,7]oxadiazocine-4,3'(2'H)-[1,4,2]benzodithiazine]-2,6(1H,5H)dione derivatives have been synthesized from isatoic anhydride and 3-(R2-amino)-1,4,2-benzodithiazine 1,1-dioxides. Some synthetic limitations are discussed on the basis of quantum chemical calculations performed by use of the Hartree-Fock method.

Introduction

Compounds containing the 1,1-dioxo-1,4,2-benzodithiazine ring system were synthesized in our laboratories in 1984 and have attracted much attention for several years because of their wide range of biological activity. It has been demonstrated that many n class="Chemical">6-chloro-1,4,2-benzodithiazine derivatives (Fig. 1, type I) have low acute toxicity to mice and rats and, depending on their structure, act as potential radio-protective [1, 2], diuretic [1-5], or cholagogue [5] agents. It has also been shown that some 6-chloro-1,1-dioxo-1,4,2-benzodithiazines have remarkable antitumor activity (Fig. 1, types I [6-8] and II [9, 10]) or anti-HIV activity (Fig. 1, types I [11, 12], II [9], and III [13]).

Furthermore, 6-chloro-3-methylthio-1,4,2-benzodithiazine 1,1-dioxides have attracted our investigative attention because of their suitability for chemical transformation into otherwise not readily obtained n class="Chemical">4-chloro-2-mercaptobenzenesulfonamide derivatives of type IV (Fig. 1). These compounds have remarkable structure-dependent antitumor activity [14-26], anti-HIV activity [14–17, 27–30], antibacterial activity [31], or strong inhibitory activity of human carbonic anhydrase (CA) isozymes I, II, IX, and XII [32-34]. Some of the compounds have been reported to be novel HIV-1 integrase inhibitors (MBSAs) [8, 11–13].

Recently, we have reported the synthesis and some chemical properties of 6′-chloro-1′,1′-dioxospiro[4H-benzo[n class="Chemical">d][1,3,7]oxadiazocine-4,3′(2′H)-[1,4,2]benzodithiazine]-2,6(1H,5H)dione derivatives of type V (Fig. 1) [35]. More recently the compound V (R1 = 7′-Me) and its potential metabolite VI [35] have been tested in vitro at the National Cancer Institute (Bethesda MD, USA) at a single dose (10 μM) in the full NCI 60-cell lines panel. The most susceptible were lung cancer cells (HOP-92) and melanoma (MALME-3 M) carcinoma cell lines whose growth was inhibited by 34 and 28 % by compounds of type V (R1 = 7′-Me) and VI, respectively. In this work, the possibility of using reaction of 3-amino-6-chloro-1,4,2-benzodithiazine 1,1-dioxide derivatives with isatoic anhydride for synthesis of novel series of spiro compounds of type VII (Fig. 1) with potential biological activity or as useful starting materials for further chemical transformation has been investigated.

Synthesis of nitrogen-containing n class="Disease">heterocyclic systems from isatoic anhydrides has been reported in the literature since 1981 [36, 37]. This work covers both direct transformation of the anhydrides into such heterocyclic systems, and processes leading initially to formation of anthranilic acid derivatives which are then transformed into the heterocyclic compounds in one or several stages. It is important that such transformations result in the formation of new five and six-membered heterocyclic systems. Furthermore, regioselective three-component reaction of isatoic anhydride, primary amines, and isatins to spirooxindole derivatives has also been reported [38].

Results and discussion

Chemistry

Previously described methods were used for synthesis of 3-amino-6-chloro-1,4,2-benzodithiazine derivatives 1a-1e [3], 1f, 1g [27], 1h [39], 1l–1p [9], 1r [40], 1s, and 1t [41]. Similar methods were used to prepare the new starting benzodithiazines 1i, 1j, and 1k (Scheme 1).

·

·

As shown in Scheme 2, synthesis of the target 6′-chloro-1′,1′-dioxospiro[4H-benzo[n class="Chemical">d][1,3,7]oxadiazocine-4,3′(2′H)-[1,4,2]benzodithiazine]-2,6(1H,5H)dione derivatives 2–17 was achieved in good to excellent yield (81–97 %) by a convenient procedure starting from isatoic anhydride and benzodithiazines 1a–1p. However, reaction with benzodithiazines 1r, 1s, and 1t failed. In these instances the substrates, only, were recovered from the resulting reaction mixture, i.e. isatoic anhydride (85–89 %) and the corresponding 3-aminobenzodithiazines 1r (69 %), 1 s (59 %), or 1t (69 %).

·

·

It is supposed that reaction of isatoic anhydride with n class="Chemical">benzodithiazines 1a–1t depends on the electronic effect of their substituents R2. Thus, only 3-aminobenzodithiazines 1r–1t, bearing substituents R2 with electron-donating effects were unsuitable for formation of intermediate compounds of type A (Scheme 2) and further conversion to the desired spiro compounds of type 2–17 by cycloaddition reaction. Trying to understand and to explain this phenomenon we also undertook studies using ab-initio calculations for molecules 1a–1t (in toluene), by use of the Hartree–Fock method.

The structures of the new compounds were confirmed by elemental analysis and by IR and NMR spectroscopy; the results are given in the “Experimental” section. Inspection of the 13C NMR spectra of spiro-cyclic compounds 2–17 revealed the characteristic signals of the spiro n class="Chemical">carbon atom (C-4,3′) in the upfield region δ = 110.27–110.95 ppm, and the presence of two carbonyl groups at positions 2 and 6 of the benzo[d][1,3,7]oxadiazocine ring was indicated by characteristic signals in the regions 153.58–160.57 and 160.00–166.32 ppm, respectively. The 1H NMR spectra contained characteristic signals in the regions δ = 7.02–7.19 (d, J = 7.9–8.3 Hz) for H-10, 7.24–7.28 (t, J = 7.1–8.1 Hz) for H-9, 7.56–7.75 (t, J = 7.1–8.3 Hz) for H-8, 7.83–7.99 (d, J = 7.1–9.0 Hz) or 7.91 (dd, J ortho = 7.9, J meta = 1.2 Hz) for H-7, 8.10–12.95 as singlet for H-1, 8.10–11.82 (s) for H-2′, 7.38–8.37 (s) for H-5′, and 7.24 (s) for H-8′. The IR spectra of compounds 2–17 contained strong absorption bands of the two carbonyl C=O groups in the regions 1,720–1,730 and 1,765 cm−1.

Molecular modeling studies

Quantum chemical calculations were performed by use of Spartan 08 software [42] to study the molecular geometry and electronic structure of 6-chloro-7-R1-3-(R2-amino)-1,4,2-benzodithiazine n class="Chemical">1,1-dioxides 1a–1t. The full optimized geometries of compounds 1a–1t in toluene were calculated by use of the ab-initio restricted Hartree–Fock (RHF) method with the 6-31G* polarization basis set. The calculated relative tautomer energies with the Boltzmann distribution term equal to unity confirm experimental results that 3-(R2-amino)-1,4,2-benzodithiazine is a low-energy tautomer, more stable than the 3-(R2-imino)-1,4,2-benzodithiazine isomer.

The electrostatic atomic charges of the starting 3-aminobenzodithiazines n class="Chemical">1a–1t (Table 1) and electrostatic potential surface maps (Fig. 2), as affected by their R2 substituents, provide information about the reactivity of the molecules in reactions with electrophiles.

Electrostatic atomic charges of the heterocyclic rings and amine groups of the starting n class="Chemical">6-chloro-7-R1-3-(R2-amino)-1,4,2-benzodithiazine 1,1-dioxides 1a–1t

The relative reactivity can be judged from the values of the atomic charges calculated for the nucleophilic centers of the compounds. Thus, the higher negative electrostatic charges found on the nitrogen atom of the n class="Chemical">amine groups of compounds 1a–1p explained the different chemical behavior of 3-aminobenzodithiazines 1s–1t in reactions with isatoic anhydride (Table 1).

The plots of electrostatic potential as maps in Fig. 2 show the electron charge density of representative compounds 1a and 1s. Compound n class="Chemical">1a has a region of high negative charge on the N atom whereas compound 1s has less negative charge on this nitrogen atom, which explains its low reactivity.

Conclusion

We have developed a method for preparation of new series of 6′-chloro-1′,1′-dioxospiro[4H-benzo[n class="Chemical">d][1,3,7]oxadiazocine-4,3′(2′H)-[1,4,2]benzodithiazine]-2,6(1H,5H)dione derivatives 2–17 by reaction of isatoic anhydride with 3-(R2-amino)-6-chloro-1,4,2-benzodithiazine 1,1-dioxide derivatives bearing R2 substituents of diverse electronic nature. For substrates 1a–1t geometry optimization was performed, by use of Spartan 08 software and the ab-initio restricted Hartree–Fock (RHF) method at the 6-31G* level. Theoretical studies enabled explanation of the different chemical behavior of 3-aminobenzodithiazines toward isatoic anhydride. The unreactive substrates 1r–1t were characterized by less negative charge and greater electrostatic potential on the nitrogen atom of the amine group than the reactive compounds 1a–1p. Further structural modification and biological evaluation of these compounds are in progress and will be reported elsewhere.
