Synthesis and Mechanistic Study of Triheterocyclic 4H‐Pyrimido[2,1‐b]benzothiazole derivatives,One‐Pot Three‐component Reaction under Solvent‐Free Conditions

An efficient method has been developed for the preparation of 4H‐pyrimido[2,1‐b]benzothiazole derivatives by the condensation of aldehydes, β‐ketoester, and 2‐amino benzothiazole under solvent and solvent‐free conditions using various catalysts. The reaction uses benzothiazole as a new component, and good yield is obtained at 60–65°C under solvent‐free conditions. Atom economies, good yield, environmentally benign, and easy to work‐up are some of the important features of this protocol. The present study suggests that acetic acid and metal catalysts follow different mechanism. In acetic acid, 2‐amino benzothiazole reacts with benzaldehyde, and resultant intermediate reacts with ethyl acetoacetate to give final product, whereas in the presence of metal catalysts, 2‐amino benzothiazole first reacts with ethyl acetoacetate, and resultant intermediate reacts with benzaldehyde to give pyrimido[2,1‐b]benzothiazole.     

Hetarylnitrenes V. Reactions of Tetrazolopyrazine Ring Contraction of Nitrenodiazines in Solution. Preliminary communication

Thermolysis of tetrazolopyrazine ( 1 ) in organic solvents gives pyrazinylnitrene ( 2 ) which undergoes ring contraction to 1-cyanoimidazole ( 3 ). 7-Methyl-5-methylthio-tetrazolo[1,5-c]pyrimidine ( 4 ) likewise gives 1-cyano-2-methylthio-4-methyl-imidazole ( 6 ). The two tetrazoles also undergo ring contraction to 1-cyanoimidazoles by gas chromatography, and 1 gives a low yield of 3 by photolysis. Thermolysis of 1 and 4 in cyclohexane gives aminopyrazine ( 7 ) and 6-amino-4-methyl-2-methylthio-pyrimidine ( 8 ), respectively. Tetrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidines ( 9 ) give only 2-aminopyrimidines ( 10 ). 1-Cyanoimidazole, formed by thermolysis of 1 in acetic acid, reacts further to give 1-acetylimidazole, which with more acetic acid gives imidazole and acetic anhydride. An earlier report [2] of ring expansion of pyrazinylnitrene in acetic acid is discredited. In protic deuteriated solvents (D₃O, CH₃OD), tetrazolopyrazine reacts as an enamine, specifically exchanging H? C(6) for deuterium.

Reactions of 3-hydrazino-5,6-diphenyl-1,2,4-triazine with 4-arylidene-2-phenyl-5(4H)-oxazolones and 4-benzylidene-3-methyl-5(4H)-isoxazolone

3-Hydrazino-5,6-diphenyl-1,2,4-triazine reacts with 4-arylidene-2-phenyl-5(4H)-oxazolones in toluene to give substituted acrylic acid hydrazides, and in glacial acetic acid to give substituted imidazolones. On the other hand the hydrazinotriazine reacts with 4-benzylidene-3-methyl-5(4H)-isoxazolone, probably via a 1,4 addition reaction followed by an elimination reaction, to give benzaldehyde 5,6-diphenyl-1,2,4-triazin-3-ylhydrazone and 3-methyl-5(4H)-isoxazolone.     

Some reactions of 3-hydroxythietane

3-Hydroxythietane is readily oxidized by hydrogen peroxide in acetone or acetic acid solution at 0°C to give 3-hydroxythietane-1-oxide. 3-Thietyl acetate is oxidized similarly. 3-Hydroxythietane-1-oxide reacts vigorously with SOCl₂ in benzene, with the formation of bis-2, 3-dichloropropyl disulfide. 3-Hydroxythietane-1,1-dioxide reacts with phosgene to give 3-thietyl-1, 1-dioxide chloroformate, which gives with diethylamine 3-thietyl-1, 1-dioxide N, N-dimethylcarbamate. Sodium peroxide and barium perbenzoate with the chloroformate give the corresponding di-(3-thietyl-1, 1-dioxide) peroxydicarbonate and 3-thietyl-1, 1-dioxide perbenzoate.

Compound 10 reacts with amines (aniline, hydrazine) to give the corresponding amide and acid hydrazide 13, 12 respectively. Hydrolysis of 10 with sodium hydroxide gave the corresponding acid derivative 11. Treating 1 with methyl iodide, 3-0-methyl derivative 14 was obtained, which was converted by ammonium acetate/acetic acid to 3-amino-4-cyano-5,6-diphenyl pyridazine 15. Compound 1 reacts with methyl magnesium iodide gave 4-acetyl derivative 16, which was reacted with hydrazine, phenyl hydrazine and with hydroxylamine to give the substituted I H pyrazolo [3,4-c] pyridazine 17 a,b and isoxazolo [5,4-c] pyridazine 18 derivatives respectively.     

Synthesis and selected reactions of 4-(diethoxyphosphorylmethyl)-3-furoic acid

Reduction of 4-(ethoxycarbonyl)-3-furoyl chloride with sodium borohydride in dioxane-DMF mixture leads to an ethyl 4-hydroxymethylfuran-3-carboxylate. The treatment of the latter with thionyl chloride at boiling yields the corresponding chloromethyl derivative. The obtained chloride reacts with one equivalent of sodium iodide in acetone at room temperature to form iodomethylfuran. Halomethylfurans synthesized are phosphorylated with sodium diethyl phosphite and triethyl phosphite to give ethyl 4-(diethoxyphosphorylmethyl)-3-carboxylate. The hydrolysis of this substance with one equivalent of potassium hydroxide in ethanol gives the corresponding furoic acid. Treating this substance in succession with ethyl chloroformate and sodium azide yields furoyl azide which while heating in toluene undergoes rearrangement to phosphorus-containing 3-furylisocyanate. Heating the latter with a mixture of acetic acid and acetic anhydride gives N-[4-(diethoxyphosphorylmethyl) furyl-3]acetamide. 4-(Diethoxyphosphorylmethyl)-3-furoic acid reacts with thionyl chloride to form the corresponding furoyl chloride. Its reduction with sodium borohydride in dioxane-DMF mixture leads to the phosphorylated 3-furylmethanol. Aminomethylation of its acetate with dimethylmethyleneiminium chloride in acetonitrile does not proceed at the ring. Instead of that the unstable ester of 3-(dimethylamino) propionic acid and the phosphorylated 3-furylmethanol are formed. In slightly basic medium free Mannich base decomposed to give the starting acetate.

N-Acyl derivatives of anthranilic acid amide undergo intramolecular cyclization to imides on microwave irradiation or on melting, and their treatment with acetic anhydride in the presence of sodium acetate on heating yields quinazolin-4-ones.     

Sydnone Compounds XXX. The Syntheses and Reactions of 3-Aryl-4-Cyanosydnones and 3-Aryl-4-Formylsydnone Oximes

In the presence of pyridine, 3-aryl-4-formylsydnone (II) reacts with hydroxyl-amine hydrochloride to produce 3-aryl-4-formylsydnone oxime (III). This reaction was performed in ethanol solution with reflux or at room temperature; the latter procedure gave an excellent yield (74-98%) and high purity. (III) reacts in acetic anhydride at room temperature to give 3-aryl-4-formylsydnone oxime O-acetate (IV). A convenient method for the synthesis of 3-aryl-4-cyanosydnone (V) is to dehydrate (III) with acetic anhydride at reflux. When (IV) was refluxed with acetic anhydride, (V) was similarly obtained. Another convenient method to prepare (V) from (III), dehydration with thionyl chloride at room temperature, was also investigated.

The reaction may be used for the preparation of 9-glycosides of 4 from the corresponding adenine derivatives provided their 9-glycosyl linkage is somewhat resistant to acid hydrolysis.

Synthesis of heteroannulated 3-nitro- and 3-aminopyridines by cyclocondensation of electron-rich aminoheterocycles with 3-nitrochromone

3-Nitrochromone reacts with electron-rich aminoheterocycles (in glacial acetic acid at reflux) and anilines (in a mixture of DMF and TMSCl at 100–140 °C) to give a variety of hetero(carbo)annulated 3-nitropyridines. The reaction, involving a formal [3+3] cyclocondensation, proceeds in high yields and appears not to be influences greatly by the nature of the 1,3-C,N-dinucleophile as seen from the thorough scope study. The synthetic utility of the products was demonstrated by their conversion into the corresponding 3-aminopyridine derivatives. An NMR study and X-ray crystallographic analysis are reported.
