Síntese e atividade biológica de furan-3-carboxamidas, 3-aminometilenodiidrofuran-2-onas e carbamatos de etila trialometilados

Abstract

The present work describes the synthesis of a new series of furan-3-carboxamides and 3-aminomethylenedihydrofuran-2-ones, through the reactions of 3-trichloroacetyl furan or furan-3-carbonyl chloride, and 3-trichloroacetyl-4,5-dihydrofuran respectively, with benzamidine, primary and secondary amines, in good yields (63-98%). The synthesis of furan-3-carboxamides, begins from the aromatization of 3-trichloroacetyl-4,5-dihydrofuran to 3-tricloroacetyl furan followed by the nucleophilic displacement of the trichloromethyl group or the corresponding carboxylic acid chloride by nitrogen-containing compounds. The 3-aminomethylenedihydro-furan-2-ones were obtained, from a simple methodology, in a single reaction step, by the addition reaction of amines to 3-tricloroacetyl-4,5-dihydrofuran, in the same molar quantities. The compounds were evaluated for their in vitro antimicrobial activity against a panel of microorganisms including yeasts, filamentous fungi, bacteria and alga. Some of the furan-3-carboxamides and trihalomethylated ethyl carbamates exhibited significant antimicrobial activity. The in vivo toxicity of a series of aminomethylenedihydrofuran-2-ones against Artemia salina was evaluated. The results exhibited significant activity for the compounds 3-N-2-1-benzyl-piperidin-4-ylethylaminemethylendihydrofuran-2-one and 6-(2-hydroxy-ethyl)-7-oxo-1,7-dihydro-[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine-2-carboxylic acid, when compared with controls.
