Chemistry of Iminofuran: XVI.(1) Synthesis, Structure, Biological Activity, and Cyclization of 4-Oxo-2-(2-phenylaminobenzoylhydrazono)butanoic Acids

摘要

The reaction of (2-phenylaminobenzoyl)hydrazine with 4-aryl-2-hydroxy-4-oxobut-2-enoic and 2-hydroxy-5,5-dimethyl-4-oxohex-2-enoic acids results in the formation of 4-aryl-2-(2-phenylaminobenzoyl-hydrazono)-4-oxobutanoic and 5,5-dimethyl-2-(2-phenylaminobenzoylhydrazono)-4-oxohexanoic acids. The products in solutions are present as mixtures of a Z,E-hydrazono form and a cyclic pyrazolinic form, and under the action of acetic anhydride they cyclize in 5-aryl- and 5-tert-butyl-3-(2-phenylaminobenzoylhydrazono)-furan-2,3-diones. 4-Aryl-2-(2-phenylaminobenzoylhydrazono)-4-oxobutanoic and 5,5-dimethyl-2-(2-phenylaminobenzoylhydrazono)-4-oxohexanoic acids were tested for antinociceptive and anti-inflammatory activity.
