Six Membered Ring

A six-membered ring is a cyclic organic compound that contains six carbon atoms in its ring structure. These rings are commonly found in many natural and synthetic compounds, including carbohydrates, amino acids, and steroids. The six-membered ring is an important structural motif in organic chemistry and is often used as a building block for the synthesis of more complex molecules.

    6.4.1. Introduction

    In 2013, a large variety of publications dedicated to the synthesis O - and S -6-membered heterocycles emerged, with special emphasis on the synthesis of natural oxygen derivatives.
    The importance of microwave irradiation in the synthesis of O -6-membered compounds (14SC3047 ), the synthesis of several of their natural derivatives or key intermediates in a gram-scale fashion covering the literature from the twenty-first century (14NPR419 ), the isolation, synthesis and structural elucidation of the natural tetrahydropyran amphidinol 3 (14NPR468 ) and the chemistry of the secondary metabolite silybin, a 2-aryl-4H -chroman-4-one, were reviewed (14NPR1138 ). An overview of the natural occurrence, synthesis and biological properties of chromones (14CR4960 ), synthesis and structure-activity relationship of antileishmanial phenolic natural and synthetic flavonoids, isoflavones, coumarins and xanthones (14CR10369 ), the synthesis of natural products and natural-product-like compounds based on chroman-type structures (14SL1953 ) and the natural occurrence and synthesis of chromenes, coumarins and fused chromene-type compounds as well as the application of dihydrobenzo[h ]chromenes in the construction of various synthetic organic compounds (14CR10476

    Chapter 1 . Pyridazine, pyrimidine, and pyrazine all have two nitrogens in the ring with the heteroatoms located at the 1,2-, 1,3-, and 1,4-positions, respectively. The DNA bases cytosine and thymine are derived from pyrimidine. The saturated nitrogen-containing rings in the bottom row are given the trivial names of piperidine, piperazine, and morpholine. They are prevalent in drug molecules. A six-membered ring that has one oxygen is called pyran and its sulfur analog is thiopyran. These rings contain the maximum degree of unsaturation that is possible. A six-membered ring can generally accommodate three double bonds. Neither oxygen nor sulfur however can be part of a double bond in a ring. Each is divalent and both valencies are used to form the ring. If a double bond formed from oxygen or sulfur, they would be trivalent, and would be positively charged. That is an unstable arrangement. In an odd-sized ring such as a five- or seven-membered ring, oxygen or sulfur can be the lone saturated atom when the ring has its maximum allotment of double bonds. In an even-sized ring such as a six- or eight-membered ring, the presence of oxygen or sulfur within the ring means that there will be one fewer double bond than the maximum number. Thus one other atom in the ring besides the heteroatom must be saturated. That position is indicated by a number followed by a capital H preceding the name as in 2H-pyran. Thus, the oxygen and 2-position are saturated and there are two double bonds, one at the 3,4- and the other at the 5,6-positions. Most six-membered rings containing two or more heteroatoms are named systematically. Note that the name generally ends with -ine and that the rings are assumed to have the maximum amount of unsaturation.

    Figure 6.3   Some common saturated and unsaturated six-membered heterocycles.
    Rings of 7–10 members are named systematically, but using a clever device to indicate ring size. Consider that heptane is the name of a seven-carbon aliphatic compound. The first vowel–consonant combination that occurs in heptane is “ep”. Thus, a seven-membered heterocycle has a name ending with -epine. Table 6.1 lists the designations for 7–10 membered heterocyclic rings.

    The smallest rings consisting of three or four atoms have no special rules for their naming. Figure 6.4 shows the structure and name for several of the more common small rings.

    Rules for systematically naming and numbering fused polycyclic rings will be thoroughly reviewed in the next section of this chapter, but there are several such ring systems that are common and have been given trivial names. Some bicyclic rings are shown in Figure 6.5 . Note that in the compounds quinoline and 1H-indole, the nitrogen is located at the 1-position. Isomers in which the nitrogen is located at the 2-position are called iso quinoline and 2H-iso

    Six-membered O- heterocycles

    Abstract

    The rich activity of heterocyclic compounds in biological systems is important for agricultural, pharmaceuticals, and natural products. Heterocyclic compounds have provided a platform for the rapid exchange of research in the areas of pharmaceutical, organic, medicinal, and analytical chemistry. In the pharmaceutical industry over 75% of the top 200 branded drugs have heterocyclic fragments in their structures. Heterocyclic building blocks also have practical uses as components in antioxidants, dyestuffs, bases, copolymers, and ligands. Most of the organic compounds containing heterocyclic compounds show better biological activity than nonnitrogen compounds.

    6.1 Introduction

    The rich activity of heterocyclic compounds in biological systems is important for agricultural, pharmaceuticals, and natural products. Heterocyclic compounds have provided a platform for the rapid exchange of research in the areas of pharmaceutical, organic, medicinal, and analytical chemistry [1a–c] . In the pharmaceutical industry over 75% of the top 200 branded drugs have heterocyclic fragments in their structures. Heterocyclic building blocks also have practical uses as components in antioxidants, dyestuffs, bases, copolymers, and ligands. Most of the organic compounds containing heterocyclic compounds show better biological activity than nonnitrogen compounds [2 5] .
    Pyran derivatives constitute a useful class of heterocyclic compounds, which are widely distributed in nature [6] . The fused pyran ring skeleton is a well-known heterocycle and an important core unit in a number of natural products. Pyran and fused pyran derivatives have attracted a great deal of interest due to their association with various kinds of biological properties. Substituted benzo(b )pyran derivatives exhibit anticancer activities against three human cell lines even at very low concentrations [7 10] . A number of 2-amino-4H -pyrans are used as pigments, photoactive materials, and potentially biodegradable agrochemicals [11 13] . Naphthopyrans are a class of photochromic compounds and the molecules have the ability to generate a yellow color on being irradiated with ultraviolet light. Pyranochalcones have been reported to exhibit antimicrobial, antimutagenic, antitumor, and antiulcer activities [14 ,15] . Pyrans and fused pyran derivatives have attracted a great deal of interest due to their association with various kinds of biological properties. The pyran heterocycles embedded with other heterocyclic moiety either in the form of a substituent or as a fused component changes its properties and converts it into a novel heterocyclic derivatives [16a,b]

    INTRODUCTION

    Reviews of saturated oxygen heterocycles <00JCS(P1)1291 >, routes to 2,2-dimethyl-2H -[1]benzopyrans <00H(53)1193 > and pyranonaphthoquinone antibiotics <00T1937 >, HIV-1 active Calophyllum coumarins <00H(53)453 > and of the application of β-halovinylaldehydes in heterocyclic synthesis <00H(53)941 > have appeared.
    Convergent syntheses of the trans -fused tetracyclic tetrahydropyran system have been described; both involve alkynic triflate coupling as a key step <00TL507 , 903 >. A two directional construction of tricyclic ethers involves a double ring closing metathesis (RCM) sequence applied to allylic, alkynyl and enol ethers <00AG(E)372 >. These developments should facilitate the synthesis of biologically potent, naturally occurring polycyclic ethers.
    Amongst marine natural products, efficient, stereocontrolled routes to the C1–C28 sector <00OL679 >, the spiroacetal CD rings <00TL2649 > and the highly substituted pyran F ring <00EJO2195 > of spongistatin 1 have been published. Further work on the brevetoxin-B system <00OL231 ; 00TL7673 ; 00TL7677 ; 00TL7681 >, ciguatoxin <00T5391 ; 00TL1425 > and halichondrin B <00JOC4070 > has been reported. Total syntheses of (-)-polycavemoside A <00JA619 >, mycalamide A <00OL859 > and bryostatin 3 have been achieved <00AG(E)2290 > and simplified analogues of the bryostatins have been made and evaluated <00TL1007 >. Syntheses of mycalamide B and theopederin D utilise common building blocks, a lithiated dihydropyran and a dihydropyran-4-one, and illustrate a general approach to the pederins <00JCS(P1)2357
