A series of 7-o-fi-D-glucopyranosyloxy-3-(disubstituted imidazol-2-yl)-4H-chromen-4-ones 5 was synthesized. The 7-hydroxy-3-formyl-4H-chromen-4-one 1 reacted with various 1,2-dicarbonyl compounds 2 in the presence of ammonium acetate to furnish 7-hydroxy-3-(4,5-disubstitutedimidazol-2-yl)-4H-chromen-4-ones 3, which on glucosylation with a-acetobromoglucose affords 2,3,4,6-tetra-o-acetyl-7-o-fi-D-glucopyranosyloxy-3-(4,5-disubstituted imidazol-2-yl)-4H-chromen-4-ones 4. 7-o-fi-D-Glucopyranosyloxy-3-(4,5-disubstituted imidazol-2-yl)-4H-chromen-4-ones 5 were prepared by deacetylation with anhydrous zinc acetate in absolute methanol. Elemental analysis, IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, EI-MS spectral data were obtained to determine the structure of the newly synthesized compounds.

Keywords: Chromone, imidazole, acetobromoglucose, glucosylation, glucosides.

Introduction

Carbohydrates are being considered as extremely useful stereo chemical building blocks for complex organic synthesis.111 Apart from being an energy source in leaving systems, carbohydrates increasingly are being recognized as playing important roles in a variety of biological processes, such as signaling, cell-cell communications, molecular and cellular targeting.121 o-j#-D-Glucosides possess higher degree of biological activities such as cell growth regulation, cell differentiation, immunological response, antitumour, antiparasitic, antifungal activities.13-111 Several therapeutically interesting biological activities of certain flavonoids have been reported including anticancer,112-171 anti-HIV,[18-20] and antioxidant121-231 properties. Similarly imidazoles show antimalerial, antituberculosis, antifungal, anticonvulsant, antiprotozoal, anticancer, antihypertensive, anorectic, hypoglysacemic activities.[24] Considering the above facts and also in continuation of our studies[25] on chromone based heterocycles promoted to prepare several new organic compounds containing chromone, imidazole and glucose moieties. Herein we report the synthesis of new substituted flavonoids 7-hydroxy-3-(imidazol-2-yl)-chromones 3. These compounds were glucosylated with a-acetobromoglucose yielding 7-o-#-D-glucopyranosyloxy-3-(imidazol-2-yl)-chromones 5.

Experimental

All melting points (mp) measured in open capillary tube were uncorrected. FT-IR spectra were recorded on Perkin-Elmer spectrum Rx-I spectrophotometer. 1H and 13C NMR spectra were recorded on a Bruker II-400 NMR spectrophotometer (1H, 400 MHz and 13C, 100 MHz), using TMS as an internal standard in DMSO and CDCl3. Chemical shifts are reported (5) relative to TMS. Mass spectra were determined on Hitachi Perkin-Elmer RMU 6D mass spectrometer. Elemental analysis for C, H, and N were determined using the Perkin-Elmer 2400 CHN rapid analyzer. Chemicals were obtained from Merck and Fluka and used without further purification. Various 1,2-dicarbonyl compounds were prepared using methods described in literature.[27]

General procedure for the synthesis of compounds 3a-i. A mixture of 7-hydroxy-3-formyl chromone 1 (5 mmol), 1,2-dicarbonyl compounds 2a-i (5 mmol), ammonium acetate (10 mmol) and glacial acetic acid (50 ml) was refluxed for 2-3 h (monitored by TLC). It was poured on to cold water (200 ml). The solid obtained was filtered, washed with water and crystallized from solvents.

General procedure for the synthesis of compounds 4a-i. In a 250 ml round-bottomed flask, anhydrous K2CO3 (6.3 mmol) was added to the mixture of dry DMF (9 ml) and acetone (6 ml), then 7-hydroxy-3-(4,5-disubstituted imidazol-2-yl)-chromones 3a-i (0.30 mmol), DTMAB (10 mg) and a-acetobromoglucose (0.60 mmol) were added under stirring, the reaction mixture was refluxed for 5-6 h (monitored by TLC). Then acetone was removed under vacuum, water (20 ml) was added to the flask. The mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate (5x10 ml), the organic layer was washed by 20 ml water and brine, dried over anhydrous MgSO4, then removed the solvent to give the residue which was purified by silica gel flash chromatography (ethyl acetate: petroleum ether 1:2 v/v) to give a brown coloured semisolid.

General procedure for the preparation of compounds 5a-i. The mixture of 2,3,4,6-tetra-o-acetyl-7-o-8-D-glucopyranosyloxy-3-(4,5-disubstituted imidazol-2-yl)-chromones 4a-i (0.109 mmol), dry methanol (2 ml) and anhydrous zinc acetate (0.126 mmol) was refluxed for 7-9 h (monitored by TLC). After cooled down at room temperature, it was filtered through cation exchanged resin; the solvent was removed under vacuum. The residue was purified by silica gel chromatography (CHCl3, MeOH, 12:1 v/v) to get titled compound.

Results and Discussion

Our synthetic pathway is outlined in Scheme 1. During the course of our present research work, the starting compound 7-hydroxy-3-formyl chromone 1 was prepared by Vilsmeier-Haack reaction from resacetophenone.[25,27] The condensation of 1 with various 1,2-dicarbonyl compounds 2 in the presence of anhydrous CH3COONH4 in glacial acetic acid undergoes cyclisation results in the formation of 7-hydroxy-3-(4,5-disubstituted imidazol-2-yl)-4H-chromen-4-ones[28] (3a-i). The IR spectrum of 3a showed a broad peak at 3400 cm-1 due to the OH stretch; the peak at 3064 cm-1 was appeared due to N-H stretch; a strong absorption at 1622 cm-1 was assigned to C=O stretch; the peaks at 1455 and 1171 cm-1 were due to C=N and C-O-C stretches respectively. The 1H NMR spectrum exhibited three singlets at 5 5.12, 7.26, and 12.9 which readily recognised as arising from OH, C-H, and N-H respectively. The characteristic multiplets for the aromatic protons are located at 5 = 6.40-7.49. The 13C NMR spectrum of 3a showed 12 distinctive resonances in agreement with the proposed structure. The potassium salts of 3a-i for o-glucosydation were prepared by the action of anhydrous K2CO3 in the mixture of DMF and acetone (3:2 v/v) as a solvent. An interaction between the potassium salt and a-acetobromoglucose as glucosyl donor in the presence of dodecyltrimethylammonium bromide (DTMAB) as a phase transfer catalyst. This gives rise 2,3,4,6-tetra-o-acetyl-#-D-glucopyranosyloxy-3-(4,5-disubstituted imidazol-2-yl)-4H-chromen-4-ones 4a-i. The absence of IR band in 4a due to OH stretch at 3400 cm-1 is indicating the formation of product. Further, the peaks at 3056 and 2924 cm-1 were due to the C-H and N-H stretches respectively. The C=O stretch peak was found to be shifted to 1729 cm-1. A strong absorption at 1757 cm-1 was assigned to C=O stretch of o-acetyl groups of glucose moiety. The peaks at 1621 and 1037 cm-1 were attributed to the C=N and C-O-C stretches respectively. A sharp peak at 2853 cm-1 was assigned to glucosidic C-H stretch. The 1H NMR spectrum exhibited

signals at 5 12.5 (s, 1'-H, N-H), 7.46 (s, 2-H, CH), 7.15 (d, 2'-H, 3'-H) (CH), 6.44-7.43 (m, 3H, Ar-H), 4.87-5.00 (m, 3H, 2", 3", 4"-H), 4.76 (d, 1H, 1"-H, anomeric proton), 4.39 (dd, 1H, 5"-H), 3.86-4.24 (m, 2H, 6"-H), 2.01, 1.95, 1.99, 2.05 (s, 3H, OAc). Similarly, 13C data of the acetylated p-glucosides (4a-i) were in agreement with the assigned structures.

We tried to deacetylate of 4a-i by standard procedure using NaOMe/MeOH;[29] however, we found that the strong basic condition resulted in cleavage of the isoflavone's C-ring, while the anhydrous zinc acetate in absolute methanol system led to significant deglycosylation. Finally, complete deacetylation of 4a-i was achieved by using anhydrous zinc acetate in absolute methanol yielded corresponding o-#-D-glucosides 5a-i in good yields. The IR spectrum of 5a showed the presence of characteristic absorption peaks at 3412, 2929, 2853, 1599, 1445, and 1089 due to OH of carbohydrate residue, N-H, glucosidic C-H, C=O, C=N, and ether linkage respectively. The 'H NMR data showed the presence of carbohydrate moiety. The chemical shift of the anomeric proton show p-linkage at 5 5.74 (C-H) indicating the linkage of carbohydrate unit to C-7 position of the aglycone. The compounds gave satisfactory C, H and N analysis. The mass spectrum of 5a displayed the molecular ion peak [M+1]+ at m/z = 391, which is consistent with its proposed structure.

Conclusions

In conclusion we have synthesized the newly synthesized glucosides of 7-hydroxy-3-(4,5-disubstituted imidazol-2-yl)-4^-chromen-4-ones with promising yield.
