ABSTRACT

The reaction of 4-[(4-bromo-3-methy)phenyl]phthalazin-1(2H)-one with ethyl cyanoacetate,

ethyl chloroacetate and P2S5 afforded N-acyl, N-alkyl and thione derivatives respectively.

Both N-alkyl derivative and thione have been allowed to react with NH2NH2.H2O to yield the

corresponding hydrazide and hydrazino derivatives. Reactions of N-alkyl derivative with

nitrogen nucleophiles namely, benzylamine, picolylamine, 3-N-imidazolylamine, alanine and

sulphur nucleophile namely, o-aminothiophenol and oxygen nucleophile namely, hydroxide

ion have been investigated. The reactions of hydrazino derivative with carbon electrophiles

have also been discussed.

INTRODUCTION

Phthalazin-1(2H)-ones have considerable interest due to their antidiabetic [1], antiallergic

[2], vasorelaxant [3], PDE4 inhibitors [4], VEGF (vascular endothelial growth factor)

receptor tyrosine kinase for the treatment of cancer [5,6], antiasthmatic agents with dual

activity of thromboxane A2 ( TXA2) sythetase inhibition and bronchodialation [7],

herbicidal [8], like activities. A number of established drug molecules like Hydralazine [9,

10], Burdralazine [11, 12], Azelastine [13,14], Ponalrestat [15], and Zopolrestat [16] are

prepared from the corresponding phthalazinones. Several phthalazine derivatives have

been reported to possess antitumor [17-20], antihypertensive [21, 22], anticonvulsant [23,

24], antimicrobial [25] antitrypanosomal [26], and anti-inflammatory activities [27, 28].

NSAIDs are widely used in the treatment of pain and inflammation. Most of the current

non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) show serious side effects including

gastrointenstinal disorders and kidney damage. Therefore, studies for developing safer

NSAIDs lacking undesired gastrointenstinal and renal side effects of currenly used ones

have been recently of interest for many researchers. Most of the classical NSAIDs exert

their side effects by inhibition of cyclooxygenase (COX-1) enzyme. Since the COX-1

isoform is the constitutive one that is responsible for regulation of physiological processes,

and the COX-2 isoform is discovered to be the enzyme induced by inflammatory stimuli,

selective inhibition of COX-2 provides a rationale for developing potential anti-

inflammatory and analgesic agents that lack the GI liabilities exhibited by currently

marketed NSAIDs and consequently they have an improved safety profile in comparison

to NSAIDs. Although the diarylheterocyclic compounds are mainly studied as new class

of NSAIDs without gastric side effects, many studies have also focused on a different

type of compounds to develop safer NSAIDs [27]. Also in terms of this aspect, many

studies have been focused on pyridazin-3(2H)-ones, which are characterized to possess

good analgesic and anti-inflammatory activities, besides these studies have indicated that

the heterocyclic ring substituents at the six position, and the presence of acetamide side

chain linked to the lactam nitrogen of pyridazinone ring at the two position improve the

analgesic and anti-inflammatory activity along with nil or very low ulcerogenicity [29-33].

In view of the aforementioned facts, it seemed most interesting to synthesize some [4-(4-

bromo-3-methyl) phenyl]-2-substituted phthalazin-1(2H)-one derivatives with the aim to

obtain more precise information about the course of reactions and biological activities.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

4-[(4-bromo-3-Methyl)phenyl]phthalazin-1(2H)-one (2) was obtained from the interaction

of 2-[(4-bromo-3-methyl)benzoyl]benzoic acid (1) with hydrazine hydrate in boiling

ethanol according to scheme 1. The IR spectrum of phthalazinone 2 showed band at 1658

cm-1

attributable to ʋ C=O. The 1H NMR spectrum showed a singlet signal at 12.8 ppm

(D2O exchangeable) corresponding to NH.

When compound 2 was submitted to react with ethyl cyanoacetate, ethyl chloroacetate,

and phosphorous pentasulphide, 1(2H)-oxo-phthalazin-2-yl carbonyl acetonitrile, 1(2H)-

oxo-phthalazin-2-yl acetic acid ethyl ester, and 1(2H)-oxo-phthalazin-1-thione 3a-c were

obtained respectively (scheme 1). The structural features of compounds 3 were confirmed

by spectral data. The IR spectrum of 3a exhibits strong absorption band at 2260 cm-1

attributable to ʋ C≡N. The 1H NMR of compound 3b showed a triplet signal at 1.18

ppm assigned for methyl protons of CH3CH2-, a quartet signal at 4.14 ppm assigned for

methylene protons of CH3CH2-, a singlet signal at 4.95 ppm assigned for CH2CO, besides

CH3 and aromatic protons of aryl moiety. Compound 3c showed strong absorption at 1234

cm-1

(ʋ C=S) and lacked any band for ʋ C=O . The 1(2H)-oxo-phthalazin-2-yl acetic acid

ethyl ester 3b was converted to the corresponding hydrazide 3d in high yield via its

reaction with hydrazine hydrate (scheme 1). The 1H NMR of compound 3d showed

signals at 4.26 ppm (s, 2H, NH2, D2O exchangeable), 4.76 ppm (s, 2H, CH2CO), 9.28 (s,

1H, NH, D2O exchangeable) as well as the methyl and aromatic protons of aryl group.

Alkaline hydrolysis of acetic acid ester derivative 3b afforded the corresponding acetic

acid derivative 3e. The IR spectrum of 3e revealed strong absorption band at 1715 cm-1

attributable to ʋ C=O of carboxylic acid. The thione derivative 3c was converted to the

corresponding hydrazino derivative 4 when submitted to react with hydrazine hydrate. The

mass spectrum of 4 showed the prominent ion peaks at m/z 328 (29.91%) and m/z 330

(29.71) corresponding to (M.+) and (M+2

.+) respectively.

The structure of compound 3b was chemically proved via its interaction with

benzaldehyde in the presence of sodium methoxide to yield the the Stobbe product 2-

[1(2H)-oxo-phthalazin-2-yl]cinnamic acid 5 which is characteristic by its solubility in

aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution and its IR spectrum revealed strong absorption bands

at 1667 cm-1

(ʋ C=O) and 1680 cm-1

(ʋ C=O carboxylic acid) (scheme 2).

The mass spectrum of compound 5 showed characteristic peaks m/z 459 (46.51%) and m/z

461 (46.41%) corresponding to (M.+

) and (M+2.+

place via scheme 3. To support the proposed mechanism, the authors repeated the reaction

in the absences of benzaldehyde under the same conditions. They isolated the unsaponified

ester 3b and this ruled out the Claisen Schmidt condensation followed by saponification.

In the present work, some phthalazin-1(2H)-one derivatives 6 bearing acetamide side

chain at position-2 of pyridazine moiety have been synthesized. Thus, aminolysis of

compound 3b with aromatic and heteroaromatic amines namely, benzylamine, 2-

aminothiophenol, picolylamine, 3-(N-imidazolyl)-propylamine and piperidine yielded 4-

[(4-bromo-3-methyl)phenyl-1(2H)-oxo-phthalazin-2-yl]-N-arylacetic acid amide 6a-e

respectively (scheme 2). The IR spectra of compounds 6a, 6c, 6d, and 6e exhibit strong

absorption bands in the region 1660-1670 cm-1

attributable to ʋ max of two carbonyl

groups (cyclic amide and acetamide moieties). On the other hand, the IR spectrum of 6b

showed strong absorptions at 1612 and 1665 cm-1

due to ʋ C=O of thioester moiety and

cyclic carboxamide. The lower frequency is corresponding to ʋ C=O of thioester moiety

due to the fact that sulphur is highly electron donor. The IR spectrum of 6b also exhibits

absorption bands at 3263 and 3378 cm-1

attributable to ʋ NH of NH2 group. These results

seem to be reasonable because sulphhydryl group is more nucleophilic than amino group.

Similarly, interaction of ester 3b with alanine in boiling pyridine afforded N-acylalanine

derivative 7 (scheme 2). The IR spectrum of 7 showed strong absorption bands at 1665

and 1677 cm-1

attributable to ʋ max of carbonyl groups.

The hydrazino derivative 4 was used as key starting material for the synthesis of some

interesting heterocyclic compounds. Thus, when compound 4 was allowed to react with

acetylacetone in boiling n-butanol, it yielded 1-[(3, 5-dimethyl)pyrazol-1-yl]-4-[(4-bromo-

3-methyl)phenyl]phthalazin 8 (scheme 4). The 1H NMR spectrum of compound 8 exhibits

signals at 2.41 (s, 3H, Ar-CH3), 2.45 (s, 3H, CH3 of pyrazole moiety at position 5), 2.47 (s,

3H, CH3 of pyrazole moiety at position 3) besides the aromatic signals. Similarly, when

the hydrazine derivative 4 was submitted to react with ethyl acetoacetate in boiling n-

butanol, 1-[(3-methyl-5-oxo-pyrazolin-1-yl]-4-[(4-bromo-3-methyl)phenyl]phthalazin 9

was obtained. IR spectrum of compound 9 exhibits strong absorption bands at 1620 and

1665 cm-1

due to ʋ C=N and ʋ C=O respectively. On the other hand, interaction of

hydrazino compound 4 with benzaldehyde in boiling ethanol gave the benzaldehyde

hydrazone derivative 10 (scheme 4).
