Keywords: Aminonaphthoquinones, biological activities, synthesis, heterocyclization. 1. Introduction Naphthoquinones are widely distributed in plants, fungi, and some animals. Their biological activities have been studied including their effects on prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. [1,2] Plumbagone, juglone and lawsone are naturally occurring naphthoquinones of plant origin that have antibacterial effects on several species of both aerobic and anaerobic organisms, [3] and toxins derived from naphthazarin (5,8-dihydroxy-1,4naphthoquinone) are produced by Fusarium solani and attack plants, other fungi and bacteria. [4] The natural naphthoquinone products alkannin and shikonin and their derivatives, in general, are active against Gram-positive bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus, Enterococcus faecium, and Bacillus subtilis, but are inactive against Gram-negative bacteria. [5] 2,3-Diamino-1,4naphthoquinone itself was found to act as an antibacterial agent against S. aureus, with IC50 values ranging from 30 to 125 g/mL. 2,3-Diamino-1,4-naphthoquinone presented a minimal bactericidal concentration higher than 500 g/mL, indicating that its effect was bacteriostatic. [6] Carnivorous plants have evolved special mechanisms for trapping insects and consuming their components when grown under harsh conditions. [7] Carnivory is also characterized by the synthesis of secondary metabolites in the insect-trap tissues, which contain the aminonaphthoquinone moiety. [8] The synthesis of protecting secondary metabolites is very common in

Heterocyclization process

Abstract: Due to the interesting biological activities of aminonaphthoquinones, in this review we survey two classes of amino1,4-naphthoquinones: 2,3-diamino-1,4-naphthoquinone and 2-amino1,4-naphthoquinone. The review includes synthetic methodologies for these classes in addition to their heterocyclization processes.

[8-10] Aminonaphthoquinones, considered to be potential antifungal drugs, are also produced by many plants that belong to the Caryophyllales families, [8] including Nepenthaceae. [11] Droseraceae, [12] Plumbaginaceae, [13] Drosophyllaceae, [14] and Ebenaceae. [15] In vitro assays showed that several 2,3-disubstituted 1,4-naphthoquinones are as effective as the clinically used antifungal drugs Fluconazole and Amphotericin-B. [16] In addition, the 4-aminoquinolines (chloroquine [CQ] for adults/amodiaquine for children) have been used as the first-line anti-malarial drugs for many years. However, the therapeutic efficacy of the 4-aminoquinolines, particularly of chloroquine, has declined over the years [17] since the mid-70's. [18] Malaria is a major tropical disease, which kills two million people annually. Since antimalarials are the major arsenal for treatment of the disease, there is an urgent need for newer drugs with novel mechanisms of action, which will be effective against all strains of the parasite. Several synthetic and natural naphthoquinones as potential antimalarial agents have identified aminonaphthoquinones, as a class of antimalarial compounds with antimalarial activity against Plasmodium falciparum. Among these compounds, 2-amino-3-chloro-1,4naphthoquinone is the most potent. It had an IC50 of 0.18 micro M (37.3 ng ml (-1)) against the W2 clone, and is more potent than chloroquine, which had an IC50 of 0.23 micro M (72 ng ml (-1). It was also active against the D6 clone. In general, 2amino-1,4-naphthoquinone analogs and the 4-amino-1,2napthoquinone analog showed promising antimalarial activity in the bioassay. In contrast, a number of 2-hydroxy-1,4naphthoquinones and dimeric quinones were less active. [19] The synthesis and investigation of tumor-inhibitory activity of a series of aminonaphthoquinone derivatives of diospyrin (a bisnaphthoquinone), which was isolated from Diospyros montana Roxb., have been reported. [20] An aminoacetate derivative showed the maximum ( 93%) increase in life span in vivo against murine Ehrlich ascites carcinoma (EAC) at a dose of 1 mg kg1 day1 (ip; five doses), and the lowest IC50 (0.06 M) in vitro. Further, the same analogue also exhibited considerable enhancement in antiproliferative activity when evaluated against human cell lines, viz. malignant skin melanoma and epidermoid laryngeal carcinoma (IC50 = 0.06 and 0.92 M, respectively) in comparison to the natural precursor, diospyrin (IC50 = 0.82 and 3.58 M, respectively). Moreover, diospyrin and all its derivatives were found to show significantly greater ( 17- to 1441-fold) cytotoxicity against the tumor cells as compared to normal human lymphocytes. All these quinonoids generated substantial amounts of reactive oxygen species in EAC cells, more or less commensurate to their respective IC50 values. [20] Previously, Aly et al [21] investigated the reaction of 1,8diaminonaphthalene (1) (as a structural resembled analogous to 2,3-diamino-1,4-naphthoquinone) with -acceptors. Various heterocyclic compounds were obtained during the addition of compound 1 to 1,1,2,2-tetracyanoethylene (TCNE, 2), 7,7',8,8'tetracyanoquinodimethane (TCNQ, 3), 2-dicyanomethyleneindane-1,3-dione (CNIND, 4), 2-(2,4,7-trinitro-9H-

[21] Although most of the examples herein involve cyclization reactions of aminonaphthoquinones, a few of these expected novel syntheses of heterocycles have been reported. So, it is of interest to report on the vital target class of compounds. [21]

2. Chemistry of 2-amino-1,4-naphthoquinone It was previously reported that the nucleophilicity of the amino group in 55 is greater than expected for its vinylogous amide structure. Thus, 2-amino-1,4-naphthoquinone (55) reacts as an N-nucleophile with some bis-electrophiles. [44] On the other hand, Michael addition between 55 and activated unsaturated bonds is differed from those generally found in imino-,-unsaturated carbonyl compounds. [45] These results indicate that the mesomeric interaction between the nitrogen lone pair and the C=O group in 55 is not very important and,
O O

consequently, C-alkylations proceeding on the enol tautomer 55' (Figure 4) through the electronic interaction of the lone pair on the nitrogen atom with the quinoid structure, are less favored than in related systems. The mesomeric effect explains the shift of the E1/2 value of 55 (at pH 7.0) of ca. 225 mV to more negative potential, as compared with unsubstituted naphthoquinone. [46] However, this value might be also explained by a hydrogen bond interaction between the C1=O and NH2 groups, stabilizing the quinoid form (55'', Figure 4). [47]

For instance, the intramolecular N-acylation of some aminoquinones has required their prior reduction to the more basic aminonaphthohydroquinone derivatives. [48,49] Lately, 2amino-1,4-naphthoquinone (55) has been shown to have some reactivity with some electrophiles such as -dielectrophiles, [50] and methyleniminium salts (Figure 5). [50] In these reactions, the principal product was found to be that of N-alkylation. The reaction of 55 with electrophiles follows the general sequence

2.1. Synthesis 2-Amino-1,4-naphthoquinone (55) can be prepared by the reaction of naphthoquinone (59) with hydrazoic acid at 0 oC for about 5-15 min. Compound 59 is first reduced by hydrazoic acid to the corresponding hydroquinone 60 (Scheme 24). The obtainable 2-azidohydroquinone 61, which is in equilibrium

outlined in Figure 5. The reaction follows path "a" leading to Nalkylated product 57 or path "b" leading to C-alkylated product 58. In these reactions, the principal product was found to be that of N-alkylation. The reaction of 55 with electrophiles follows the general sequence outlined in Figure 5. [51]

with its keto form (61a 61b), is unstable and is converted to 2-aminonaphthoquinone (55) or 2-azidonaphthoquinone (62), depending on the reaction conditions as shown in Scheme 24. [52] The mechanism of the formation of 2-aminonaphthoquinone is illustrated in Scheme 25. [52]

2.2. Reactions 2.2.1. Substitution reactions 2.2.1.1. Reaction of formaldehyde with 2-amino-1,4naphthoquinone (55) in chloroform at rt gives exclusively N(hydroxymethyl)aminoquinone (63) in 64% yield (Scheme 26). [51] There is no observed product corresponding to nucleophilic substitution at C-3 (compound 64). This means that 55 did not act as an enamine compound and the reaction follows path "a" in Scheme 26. [51]

2.2.2. Synthesis of pyrroles 2.2.2.1. Reaction of one equiv of 2-substituted amino-1,4naphthoquinones 66b,c,d with two equivs of the phosphonium ylide 68b,c afforded the phosphorane adduct 70a-f in good yield along with triphenylphosphine oxide (Scheme 30). [53]

Mechanistically, quinone 66b-d reacted with 1 mol of ylide 68 to give triphenylphosphine oxide (TPPO) and the reactive olefinic intermediate (A) via a 1,2-addition, which reacted with another molecule of ylide 68 to afford the cyclic phosphorane adduct B, through loss of a suitable moiety (i.e. R ). That was followed by autoxidation to attain the aromaticity and therefore compounds 70a-f were formed (Scheme 31). [53]

The proposed mechanism for the formation of 71 is outlined in Scheme 33. The addition of malonyl radical 72 to quinone ring followed by oxidation gives 73, which undergoes lactamization to produce 71 (Scheme 33). [55]

radical 81. Radical 81 undergoes either cyclization with (R = H, Me, i-Pr) to give 82, followed by alkyl group migration and oxidation to produce 77 (path b) or oxidation (with R = p-tolyl) by manganese(III) acetate to produce imine 84. Imine 84 underwent further intramolecular nucleophilic addition followed by retro-Claisen condensation and oxidation to produce 78 (Scheme 35). [56] The free radical mechanism might here explained the rather difficulty arises in Scheme 35, where an ethyl group on the nitrogen in 81 somehow becomes a propylidene group (in 84), thereafter becoming entangled with the incoming diacylmethyl group, the ethyl group eventually winding up on C(2) (85 78) (Scheme 35). [56] The proposed free radical mechanism can describe unexpected products formation such as those 77 and 78 (Scheme 34).

[56] Oxidation of the -keto ester by manganese(III) acetate gives radical 79. Addition of the radical intermediate to the quinone ring, followed by oxidation, gives 80 (Scheme 35). [56] Compound 80 underwent condensation to produce 76 (path a). With larger R5, 80 undergoes either condensation to generate 76 (path a) or oxidation to produce

Similarly and as mentioned before, initiation occurs with the manganese (III) acetate oxidation of acetone to produce its radical. This radical intermediate underwent intermolecular addition to the quinone ring followed by oxidation process. Most indicative is the high chemoselectivity of that reaction, which was observed in different solvents. [57a,b] 2.2.2.5.

A plausible reaction mechanism for the formation of the products 98 and 99 involves C-3 alkylation, followed by water elimination to produce the azadiene intermediate (101; Scheme 46).
