Cytisine derivatives modified by furocoumarins were synthesized using activated esters.Many important natural compounds are based on the furocoumarin structure [1]. Highly active pharmacological compounds are known among natural and synthetic furocoumarins [2].On the other hand, the alkaloid cytisine and its derivatives possess a broad spectrum of biological activity [3,4]. Therefore, a large number of publications on the chemical modification and study of the properties of cytisine have appeared [5][6][7][8]. Thus, addition to cytisine of a furocoumarin ring as a substituent is interesting both to the chemistry of alkaloids and coumarins and to the targeted search for new biologically active compounds.Starting furocoumarins 1-12 that contain a carboxylic acid were prepared by the MacLeod method [9, 10]. Cytisine was N-acylated using activated esters [11], a method that is widely employed in peptide synthesis. The carboxylic acid was activated as the highly reactive N-hydroxysuccinimide ester [12]. Activated esters were prepared by reacting the corresponding acids 1-12 and N-hydroxysuccinimide (SuOH) in absolute dioxane using diisopropylcarbodiimide (DIC) as the condensing agent. Condensation of the resulting activated esters with cytisine in dioxane at room temperature gives in high yields the N-acyl cytisine derivatives 13-24, the molecules of which contain furocoumarin moieties. 1, 13: R 1 = Me, R 2 = R 3 = H, n = 1; 2, 14: R 1 = R 3 = Me, R 2 = H, n = 1; 3, 15: R 1 = R 2 = Me, R 3 = H, n = 1; 4, 16: R 1 = R 2 = R 3 = Me, n = 1; 5,17: R 1 R 2 = (CH 2 ) 4 , R 3 = H, n = 1; 6, 18: R 1 R 2 = (CH 2 ) 4 , R 3 = Me, n = 1; 7, 19: R 1 = Me, R 2 = R 3 = H, n = 2; 8, 20: R 1 = R 3 = Me, R 2 = H, n = 2; 9, 21: R 1 = R 2 = Me, R 3 = H, n = 2; 10, 22: R 1 = R 2 = R 3 = Me, n = 2; 11, 23: R 1 R 2 = (CH 2 ) 4 , R 3 = H, n = 2; 12, 24: R 1 R 2 = (CH 2 ) 4 , R 3 = Me, n = 2 C 30 H 30 N 2 O 5 , mp 287-289°C.
