piperidines and thiamorpholine

A series of novel piperidine, piperazine, morpholine and thiomorpholine appended dibenzo[b,d]thiophene-1,2,3-triazoles were designed and synthesized utilizing azide-alkyne click chemistry in the penultimate step. The required azide building block 6a-e was synthesized from commercial dibenzo[b,d]thiophene in good yields following five step reaction sequence. All the new analogues 8a-f, 9a-f, 10a-f, 11a-f &12a-f were characterized by their NMR and mass spectral analysis. Screening all thirty new compounds for in vitro antimycobacterial activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv, resulted 8a, 8f and 11e as potent analogues with MIC 0.78μg/mL, 0.78μg/mL & 1.56μg/mL, respectively, and has shown lower cytotoxicity. Interestingly, all six piperazine appended dibenzo[b,d]thiophene-1,2,3-triazoles 11a-f exhibited Mtb inhibition activity with MIC 1.56-12.5μg/mL. To some extent, the data observed here indicated Mycobacterium tuberculosis inhibition among the appendages is in the order, piperazine>thiomorpholine>morpholine.

The cyclization of N-Boc-α-alkylserines to corresponding β-lactones under Mitsunobu reaction conditions and the ring opening with heterocyclic amines (pyrrolidine, piperidine, morpholine and thiomorpholine) produced N-Boc-α-alkyl-β-(sec-amino)alanines. The removal of the Boc group gives di-hydrochlorides of non-protein amino acids.

A simple and efficient protocol for the construction of substituted piperazines, piperidines, thiomorpholines, decahydroquinolines, perhydrocyclopenta[b]pyridine, and pyrrolidines bearing N-hydroxy substituents through intramolecular reductive cyclization of diketoximes using sodium cyanoborohydride is described.

The natural abundance 15N-NMR chemical shifts of selected aliphatic amines, 2-substituted pyridine type compounds, bialicyclic tertiary amines have been measured as a function of the nature of the solvent. In the case of cyclic aliphatic amines, like piperidine, morpholine, piperazine, thiomorpholine, the nitrogen is more shielded in concentrated solution compared to that in dilute solution whereas in the hydrogen bonding and protonating solvents there is a prominent deshielding. 2-Substituted pyridines studied can be further divided into four sub groups. The site of hydrogen bonding and protonation in 2-amino, 2-hydroxy and 2-mercapto pyridines have been conclusively proved from the 15N-NMR chemical shifts and the well-known tautomeric forms of the above compounds. Similarly in the case of 2-(2-thienyl)pyridine and 2-(3-thienyl)pyridine, the site of donation has been proved as the nitrogen of the pyridine ring in both the compounds. In a similar manner, the site of hydrogen bonding and protonation in two individual compounds 2-anilinopyridine and 2-(2-pyridyl)benzimidazole have also been established. Among the bialicyclic amines, 1,2-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane (DABCO) behaved differently from the other two compounds. In both 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (DBU) and 1,5-diazabicyclo[4.3.0]non-5-ene (DBN), it was possible to show that N1-nitrogen in both the compounds is the site of donation. The effect of the second donor site on the 15N-NMR chemical shift, the site of donation in the selected compounds and some typical compounds reported in literature have been presented and discussed.

In order to see if the biodegradative pathways for morpholine and thiomorpholine during degradation by Mycobacterium aurum MO1 could be generalized to other heterocyclic compounds, the degradation of piperidine by this strain was investigated by performing (1)H-nuclear magnetic resonance directly with the incubation medium. Ionspray mass spectrometry, performed without purification of the samples, was also used to confirm the structure of some metabolites during morpholine and thiomorpholine degradation. The results obtained with these two techniques suggested a general pathway for degradation of nitrogen heterocyclic compounds by M. aurum MO1. The first step of the degradative pathway is cleavage of the C---N bond; this leads formation of an intermediary amino acid, which is followed by deamination and oxidation of this amino acid into a diacid. Except in the case of thiodiglycolate obtained from thiomorpholine degradation, the dicarboxylates are completely mineralized by the bacterial cells. A comparison with previously published data showed that this pathway could be a general pathway for degradation by other strains of members of the genus Mycobacterium.
