6-Allylsulfanyl-1-arylpyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-4(5H)-ones react with iodine and sulfuric acid to give angular pyrazolothiazolopyrimidine derivatives. The reaction of 6-(prop-2-yn-1-ylsulfanyl)-1-(4-tolyl)-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-4(5H)-one with sulfuric acid gives angularly fused pyrazolo[4,3-e][1,3]thiazolo-[3,2-a]pyrimidin-4-one, whereas in the reaction with sodium methoxide linearly fused pyrazolo[3,4-d][1,3]-thiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidin-4-one was formed. Linearly fused pyrazolo[3′,4′:4,5]pyrimido[2,1-b][1,3]thiazole derivatives were also obtained by reaction of 1-aryl-6-(3-phenylprop-2-en-1-ylsulfanyl)pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-4(5H)-ones with sulfuric acid.

Intermediate compound 1 reacted with aldehyde, ethyl chloroformate, triethyl orthoformate, and ninhydrine and gave new heterotetracyclic nitrogen systems, such as 3-(N ²-guanidinylimino)indole-2(1H)-one 2, 3-(N-ethoxycarbonylamino)-4H-[1,2,4]triazino[5,6-b]indole 3, 3-(N-ethoxymethyleneamino)-4H-[1,2,4]-triazino[5,6-b]indole 4, 3-(hydrazinothiocarbonylamino)-4H-[1,2,4]triazino[5,6-b]indole 5, respectively. N-(1,3-dioxoindene-2-ylidene)-4H-[1,2,4]triazino[5,6-b]indol-3-amine 6 was synthesized by reaction of compound 1 with aldehyde, ethyl chloroformate, triethyl orthoformate, and ninhydrine. New fused indole systems, pyrimido[2′,1′:3,4][1,2,4]triazino[5,6-b]indol-3(4H)-one 8, 9, 11, 12 and 1H-imidazo[2′,1′:3,4][1,2,4]triazino-[5,6-b]indol-2(3H)-one 10, were synthesized in the reaction of the intermediate 1 with bifunctional compounds. Structures of the products were elucidated from their elemental analysis and spectral data (IR, ¹H and ¹³C NMR and mass spectra). Antimicrobial activity of some synthesized compounds was tested.     

Synthesis of 1-(1,3-dialkyl-2-oxo-2,3-dihydro-1<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>-imidazo-[4,5-<Emphasis Type="Italic">b</Emphasis>]pyridin-5-yl)-5-oxopyrrolidine-3-carboxylic acids

Nitration of 2,3-dihydro-1H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-2-one gave its 5-nitro derivative which was subjected to alkylation with dimethyl sulfate, diethyl sulfate, and benzyl(dimethyl)phenylammonium chloride. The resulting 1,3-dimethyl-, 1,3-diethyl-, and 1,3-dibenzyl-5-nitro-2,3-dihydro-1H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-2-ones were reduced to the corresponding 1,3-dialkyl-5-amino-2,3-dihydro-1H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-2-ones, and the latter reacted with itaconic acid to produce 1-(1,3-dialkyl-2-oxo-2,3-dihydro-1H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-5-yl)-5-oxopyrrolidine-3-carboxylic acids. 1-(2-Oxo-2,3-dihydro-1H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-5-yl)-5-oxopyrrolidine-3-carboxylic acid was obtained by analogous reaction with 5-amino-2,3-dihydro-1H-imidazo[4,5-b]-pyridin-2-one.

Alkenyl derivatives of 5-nitro-2-pyridone: Synthesis and halocyclization

Alkylation of 5-nitro-2-pyridone by alkenyl halides in acetone in the presence of K₂СО₃ proceeds with generation of a mixture of N- and О-derivatives with N-isomer prevailing. 1-Allyl- and 1-methylallyl-5-nitro-2-pyridone react with halogens with the formation of 2-halomethyl-6-nitro-2,3-dihydrooxazolo[3,2-a]-pyridinium halides. 1-Prenyl-5-nitro-2-pyridone reacts with bromine with the formation of 3-bromine-2,2-dimethyl-7-nitro-3,4-dihydro-2Н-pyrido[2,1-b][1,3]oxazinium bromide, and with iodine giving 2,2-dimethyl-7-nitro-3,4-dihydro-2Н-pyrido[2,1-b][1,3]oxazinium triiodide.     

Synthesis and Structure of 4-Indolyl-5-(thieno[3,2-<Emphasis Type="Italic">b</Emphasis>]pyrrol-6-yl)imidazoles

A procedure was proposed for regioselective acylation of methyl 2-methyl-4H-thieno[3,2-b]-pyrrole-5-carboxylate with 2-(3-indolyl)-2-oxoacetyl chloride. Reactions of the resulting methyl 6-[2-(3-indolyl)-1,2-dioxoethyl]-2-methyl-4H-thieno[3,2-b]pyrrole-5-carboxylate with aromatic aldehydes and ammonium acetate in acetic acid afforded the corresponding methyl 6-[2-aryl-4-(3-indolyl)imidazol-5-yl]-2-methyl-4H-thieno[3,2-b]pyrrole-5-carboxylates. The structure of methyl 6-[2-(4-chlorophenyl)-4-(3-indolyl)imidazol-5-yl]-2-methyl-4H-thieno[3,2-b]pyrrole-5-carboxylate was studied by X-ray analysis.     

<Emphasis Type="Italic">Tetra</Emphasis>-EDOT substituted 3D electrochromic polymers with lower band gaps

A couple of novel electrochromic materials poly(2,3,4,5-tetrakis(2,3-hydrothieno[3,4-b]dixin-5-yl)-1-methyl-1H-pyrrole) (P(t-EDOT-mPy)) and poly(5,5′,5′′,5′′′-(thiophene-2,3,4,5-tetrayl)tetrakis(2,3-dihydrothieno[3,4-b][1,4]dioxine)) (P(t-EDOT-Th)) are electrodeposited via multi-position polymerization of their tetra-EDOT substituted monomers t-EDOT-mPy and t-EDOT-Th, respectively. Compared with the linear 2D structured poly(thiophene) (E _g=2.2 eV) and poly(2,5-bis(2,3-dihydrothieno[3,4-b][1,4]dioxin-5-yl)thiophene) (E _g=1.7 eV), P(t-EDOT-Th) (E _g=1.62 eV) has the lowest band gap. Hence, we speculate that the band gaps of the two polymers, having 3D structures, are decreased in contrast to non-substituted polymers or bi-EDOT substituted polymers, thiophene and 1-methyl-1H-pyrrole. The results indicated that P(t-EDOT-Th) thin films are more stable and show higher transmittance amid two polymers, which may find their utilization in organic optoelectronics.

1,3-Dialkyl-5-amino-1,3-dihydro-2H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-2-ones reacted with acetylacetone to give the corresponding 4-(1,3-dialkyl-2-oxo-1,3-dihydro-2H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-5-ylamino)pent-3-en-2-ones which underwent intramolecular cyclization to 1,3-dialkyl-5,7-dimethyl-1,3-dihydro-2H-imidazo[4,5-b]-[1,8]naphthyridin-2-ones on heating in polyphosphoric acid or diphenyl ether. Analogous reaction of 1,3-dialkyl-5-amino-1,3-dihydro-2H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-2-ones with ethyl acetoacetate led to the formation of ethyl 3-(1,3-dialkyl-2-oxo-1,3-dihydro-2H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-5-ylamino)but-2-enoates whose cyclization afforded 1,3-dialkyl-8-hydroxy-7-methyl-1,3-dihydro-2H-imidazo[5,4-b][1,8]naphthyridin-2-ones.

Reaction of 2-acetylfuran with arenediazonium chlorides under Meerwein reaction conditions led to the formation of 5-aryl-2-acetylfurans. The bromination of these compounds gave 2-bromo-1-(5-aryl-2-furyl)-ethanones that reacted with 4-amino-4H-5-R-1,2,4-triazole-3-thiols to form 3-R-6-(5-aryl-2-furyl)-7H-[1,2,4]triazolo[3,4-b][1,3,4]thiadiazines.     

Synthesis and Antimycobacterial Activity of Hydrazides Based on Pyridoxine Derivatives

Pyridoxine derivatives, 3-hydroxy-2-methylpyridine-4- and -5-carbohydrazides, were synthesized according to optimized known procedures, and a method for the synthesis of 5-(hydroxymethyl)-2,2,8-trimethyl-4H-[1,3]dioxino[4,5-c]pyridine-6-carbohydrazide was developed. The hydroxymethyl groups in positions 5 and 6 of 2,2,8-trimethyl-4H-[1,3]dioxino[4,5-c]pyridine showed different reactivities, and only the 6-hydroxymethyl group was selectively oxidized to aldehyde under mild conditions. The lactone ring in 5,6-dihydrofuro[3,4-b]pyridin-7(5H)-one was found to be stable to nucleophiles. The synthesized hydrazides showed no antimycobacterial activity.

A new efficient method has been developed for the synthesis of highly biologically active pyrano-[4,3-d]pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridines on the basis of Smiles rearrangement of ethyl [(8-alkyl(aryl)-5-cyano-3,3-dimethyl-3,4-dihydro-1H-pyrano[3,4-c]pyridin-6-yl)oxy]acetates. Intermediate acetohydrazides have also been isolated. The proposed procedure is advantageous due to the possibility of avoiding experimentally difficult chlorination stage.

The coupling of 3-alkyl-4-(methoxyphenyl)-1H-pyrazole-5-diazonium salts with acetylacetone followed by cyclization of the formed heterylhydrazones resulted in pyrazolo[5,1-c][1,2,4]triazines. The 4-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)-3-methyl-1H-pyrazole-5-diazonium salt was not involved into a similar reaction but suffered an intramolecular azo coupling giving pyrazolo[3,4-c]-cinnoline.

We describe regioselective synthesis of pyrazolo[3,4-b]quinoline derivatives by multicomponent reaction of dimedone, 5-aminopyrazolone, and aromatic aldehydes in presence of H₃PW₁₂O₄₀ as catalyst. When this multicomponent reaction was investigated without catalyst under reflux conditions, a mixture of products was obtained, while the reaction successfully proceeded to formation of pyrazolo[3,4-b]quinoline in presence of H₃PW₁₂O₄₀. Good product yield, short experimental time, and low-cost catalyst provide convenient synthesis for formation of pyrazolo[3,4-b]quinoline pharmacological compounds.
