Synthesis of 3,3-bis(2-hydroxyethyl) and 3,3,3’-tris(2-hydroxyethyl) derivatives of 1,1’-[methylenebis(oxy)]bis(triaz-1-ene 2-oxides)

Abstract

Synthetic procedures to access new potential NO donors that can generate NO in living systems, 3,3-bis(2-hydroxyethyl) and 3,3,3’-tris(2-hydroxyethyl) derivatives of 1,1’-[methylenebis(oxy)]bis(3,3-dialkyltriaz-1-ene 2-oxides), were elaborated. 3,3-Bis(2-acetoxyethyl)-1(chloromethoxy)triaz-1-ene 2-oxide reacts with 1-hydroxytriaz-1-ene 2-oxide sodium salts to give a series of alkylated 3,3-bis(2-acetoxyethyl) derivatives. Deacetylation of the latter produces 3-(2-hydroxyethyl)-11,11-dialkyl-6,8-dioxa-3,4,5,9,10,11-hexaazaundeca-4,9-dien-1-ol 4,10-dioxides and 11-alkyl-3-(2-hydroxyethyl)-6,8-dioxa-3,4,5,9,10,11-hexaazatrideca-4,9-diene-1,13-diol 4,10-dioxides.
