Abstract:

In this study, A series of triazolo quinazolinone bearing carbohydrate moieties were synthesized to investigate their possible antibacterial and antifungal activities. Some nucleosides 3a-f were prepared by treating an aqueous ethanolic solution of hydrazino quinazolinone derivative 2 with aldohexoses and aldo-pentoses in the presence of a catalytic amount of acetic acid. Acetylation of the sugar hydrazones with acetic anhydride in pyridine at room temperature gave the corresponding poly-O-acetyl derivatives 4a-f. Attempted oxidative cyclization of the sugar hydrazones 3b,d,f following intramolecular nucleophilic substitution protocol, using one pot conditions with bromine in acetic acid in the presence of anhydrous sodium acetate, followed by acetylation with acetic anhydride afford the corresponding triazolo acetate derivatives 5b, d, f . Continuously, the reaction of the sugar hydrazones 3b, d, f with bromine water gave the corresponding quinazolino triazole derivatives 6b, d, f. On the other hand, deacetylation of triazolo per-O-acetylated derivatives 5b, d, f with methanolic ammonia gave the triazolo derivatives 6b, d, f. The structural elucidation of the products was confirmed by their elemental analyses and spectral data. To identify the experimentally observed results, quantum chemical calculations have been performed on the sugar hydrazone 3b in both forms and its precursors using a Gaussian 09 program, applying density functional method, DFT/B3LYP exchange-correlation with the 6-311G (d, p) basis set. From the output file we can consider different reactivity descriptors from frontier molecular orbitals energies such as ionization potential (IP), chemical potential (μ ), electron affinity (EA), hardness (η), softness( σ), electrophilicity and nucleophilicity, from this data we can conclude the active sites of the studied molecules and charge transfer was evidenced from quinazolin hydrazone 2 to glucose , this was in good agreement with Mulliken atomic charges calculated at DFT/B3LYP/6311.
