Treatment of N-phenyl-substituted benzenecarbo-hydrazonoyl chlorides 1a - d with malononitrile in sodium ethoxide solution gave 5-amino-4-cyanopyrazole derivatives 2 - 5 . Compounds 2 - 5 were converted to formidate derivatives 6 - 9 upon treatment with TEOF in acetic anhydride. The reaction of the latter products 6 - 9 with hydrazine hydrate gave imino-amino derivatives 10 - 13 , which was converted to hydrazino derivatives 14 - 17 by refluxing with hydrazine hydrate. Hydrazino as well as imino-amino derivatives undergo condensation, cyclization, and cycloaddition reactions to give pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine 18 - 21 , pyrazolo[4,3-e][1,2,4]triazolo-[3,4-c]pyrimidine 22 - 27 , and pyrazolo[3′,4′:4,5]pyrimido[1,6-b][1,2,4]triazine 42 - 44 derivatives. Antimicrobial studies are performed using two Gram-positive bacteria and two Gram-negative bacteria. Data indicated that compounds 5 , 28D , 29B , and 31D are exploring elevated antibacterial effects against all strains tested. Compound 28D is the most promising antibacterial agent against the delicate bacterial strain Bacillus subtilis and Pseudomonas aeruginosa with high effectiveness (low minimum inhibitory concentration [MIC] value) 40 and 60 μg/mL, respectively.

A new representative of heterocyclic hydrazines, viz., 6-hydrazino-3,4-dimethyl-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine (3) was synthesized from diacetyl ketene N,S-acetal. A condensation of hydrazine 3 with amide acetals or aldehydes and subsequent cyclization furnished pyrazolo[4,3-e][1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]pyrimidines, whose structure was confirmed by ¹H, ¹³C, and ¹H/¹⁵N HMBC NMR spectroscopy. Reactions of hydrazine 3 with acetylacetone, ethyl acetoacetate, diethyl malonate, and acetic anhydride were studied.     

Construction of pyrimido[5,4-e]-as-triazine,purine, v-triazolo-[4,5-d]pyrimidine and pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine ring systems from 5-arylazo-6-arylidenehydrazino-1,3-dimethyluracils

Reaction of 5-arylazo-6-arylidenehydrazino-1,3-dimethyluracils (II), prepared by the treatment of 6-aryl-idenehydrazino-1,3-dimethyluracils (I) with diazotized arylamines, with dimethylformamide dimethylacetal resulted in the formation of pyrimido[5,4-e]-as-triazine (V) system, while the thermolysis of II resulted in the formation of purine (X), v-triazolo[4,5-d]pyrimidine (XII), and pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine (XIV, XIX) systems in lieu of the expected V. Reasonable mechanisms have been proposed for the formation of the various ring systems in these reactions.

A series of pyrazolo[4,3-e][1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-c]pyrimidines were prepared via oxidative cyclization of aldehyde N-(1,3-diphenylpyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-4-yl)hydrazones. Dimroth rearrangement of such a series yielded pyrazolo[4,3-e][1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-c]pyrimidines.     

A new synthesis of 2,8-disubstituted pyrazolo[4,3-e][1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-c]pyrimidines

A practical synthesis of pyrazolo[4,3-e][1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-c]pyrimidines, which are key intermediates in the preparation of adenosine receptor antagonists, is developed. The method allows introduction of a variety of aryl substituents at position 2 of the pyrazolo[4,3-e][1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-c]pyrimidine system via cyclocondensation of 5-amino-4-iminopyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine with benzaldehydes accompanied with oxidation by iodobenzene diacetate. Some unexpected reactions are observed and the structures of the products are confirmed using NMR spectroscopy and X-ray crystallography.     

Reaction of 6-hydrazino-3,4-dimethyl-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine with pregnenolone derivatives

New androsteno[17,16-d]pyrazoles and -pyrazolines with pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine fragments were synthesized. A reaction of 3β-hydroxypregna-5,16-dien-20-one and its 3-O-acetyl derivative with 6-hydrazino-3,4-dimethyl-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine led to hydrazones at position 20 of the pregnenolone molecule, a possibility of their cyclization was studied. Upon melting, the hydrazones cyclize with the formation of pyrazoline ring annulated with ring D of the steroid at positions 16 and 17. Reflux of the hydrazones in mesitylene with AcOH leads to a mixture of two reaction products: androsteno[17,16-d]pyrazole and a dodecahydro-13H-phenanthro[1′,2′:5,6]pyrano[2,3-d]pyrazole derivative. Apparently, this transformation proceeds through the corresponding epoxide with subsequent rearrangement, which leads to the ring D expansion.

Regiocontrolled synthesis of 3- and 5-aminopyrazoles,pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidines,pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridines and pyrazolo[3,4-b]quinolinones as MAPK inhibitors

Microwave irradiation of a hydrazine and 3-methoxyacrylonitrile, ethoxymethylenemalononitrile or ethyl acetoacetate provides rapid access to 3- or 5-substituted pyrazoles in excellent yield and with total regiocontrol in a process that can be switched from one regioisomer to the other by choice of conditions. Subsequent reaction, either by microwave-assisted hydrolysis and cyclocondensation with formamide, Hantzsch-type three-component reaction with an aldehyde and ketone, or by cyclocondensation with 2-nitrobenzaldehyde, provides the pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine, pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridine or pyrazolo[3,4-b]quinolin-4-one framework, respectively, of inhibitors of mitogen-activated protein kinases.
