Fused pyrimidine systems: XIII. Synthesis and some transformations of 1,3-thiazolo(thiazino)-fused pyrido[3,4-d]pyrimidines

2-[Allyl(propargyl)sulfanyl]pyrido[3,4-d]pyrimidin-4-ones at heating in polyphosphoric acid undergo an intramolecular cyclization with the formation of pyrido[4,3-e]thiazolo-[3,2-a]pyrimidin-5-ones of angular structure. Under similar conditions the cyclization of 2-(cinnamylsulfanyl)pyrido[3,4-d]-pyrimidin-4-one results in a linear pyrido[3′,4′:4,5]pyrimido-[2,1-b][1,3]thiazin-6-one. The iodocyclization of the same substrates affords the corresponding 9-(iodomethyl)(iodomethylidene)pyrido[4,3-e][1,3]thiazolo-[3,2-a]pyrimidin-5-ones and 3-iodopyrido[3′,4′:4,5]pyrimido[2,1-b][1,3]thiazin-6-one of angular structure. 9-(Iodomethyl)-8,9-dihydro-5H-pyrido[4,3-e][1,3]thiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidin-5-one treated with sodium azide gave 9-(azidomethyl) derivative whose cyclization with substituted alkynes in the presence of copper compounds provided pyrido [4,3-e][1,3]thiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidinylmethyltriazoles.     

Three-component condensation of 4-aryl-1,4-dihydro-benzo[4,5]imidazo[1,2-<Emphasis Type="Italic">a</Emphasis>][1,3,5]triazin-2-amines with formaldehyde and primary amines

Three-component cyclization of 4-aryl-1,4-dihydrobenzo[4,5]imidazo[1,2-a][1,3,5]triazin-2-amines with formaldehyde and primary amines gave the corresponding 6-unsubstituted or 6-aryl-2-alkyl-2,3,4,6-tetrahydro-1H-[1,3,5]triazino[1′,2′:3,4][1,3,5]triazino[1,2-a]benzimidazoles.     

Intramolecular N-arylation in heterocyclization: synthesis of new pyrido-fused pyrrolo[1,2-a][1,4]diazepinones

Alkylation of l-prolinamide with 3-(chloromethyl)-2-halopyridines, followed by cyclization through an intramolecular Pd-catalysed amidation, provided an entry to the pyrido[2,3-e]pyrrolo[1,2-a][1,4]diazepin-10-one scaffold. Furthermore, a synthetic route towards diverse new pyrido[f]pyrrolo[1,2-a][1,4]diazepin-7-ones has been developed by acylation of contiguously substituted (aminomethyl)halopyridines with Boc-l-proline followed by intramolecular amination.     

4-Amino-substituted pyrazolo[1,5-a][1,3,5]triazin-2-amines: a new practical synthesis and biological activity

The trichloromethyl moiety was successfully employed as a leaving group in nucleophilic substitutions with various amines for the synthesis of 4-amino-substituted pyrazolo[1,5-a][1,3,5]triazin-2-amines. The key precursor for this reaction, 4-trichloromethylpyrazolo[1,5-a][1,3,5]triazin-2-amine, was prepared via the solvent-dependent condensation of 5-guanidino-3-phenylpyrazole with trichloroacetonitrile. In a broad biological activity screening, some of the prepared compounds were identified as CGRP receptor antagonists.

A facile interconversion between pyridooxazines and the corresponding pyridinium salts was also realized.     

A convenient method for the synthesis of 7-amino-substituted 1,2,4-triazolo[1,5-a][1,3,5]triazin-5-amines

A new practical synthesis of 7-amino-substituted 1,2,4-triazolo[1,5-a][1,3,5]triazin-5-amines is developed. The triazine ring closure of 5-guanidino-3-phenyl-1,2,4-triazole with trichloroacetonitrile proceeds chemo- and regioselectively depending on the nature of the solvent. Conducting the reaction in toluene provided 7-trichloromethyl-1,2,4-triazolo[1,5-a][1,3,5]triazin-5-amine as the product, which can be further aminated efficiently with replacement of the trichloromethyl group.

The 5-acetyl hydrazono, 7 , and the 5-isopropylidenehydrazono, 8 , derivatives were also prepared from 6 , and the 5-propionylhydrazono derivatives, 13 , from 12 . Compound 4 reacted with hydrazine to give an adduct with two molecules of hydrazine and the probable structure 16 . Treating this adduct with acetone a monohydrazone 17 was obtained. Boiling a suspension of this adduct in DMF, it gave 6,10-dihydro-6H-pyrido[3′,2′:5,6]pyrimido[2,1-c][1,2,4]triazin-5-one 20 .

Scope and limitations of the synthesis of functionalized quinolizidinones and related compounds by a simple precursor approach via addition of lithium allylmagnesates to 2-pyridones and RCM as key steps

The scope and limitations of the simple synthesis of functionalized quinolizidin-4-ones by chemoselective N-alkenylation of NH pyridin-2(1H)-ones (2-pyridones), regioselective addition of lithium allyl(di-n-butyl)magnesates(1-) to N-alkenylpyridin-2(1H)-ones, followed by ring closing metathesis (RCM) is described. A number of functionalizations introduced into quinolizidin-4-one rings demonstrated the high prospect of the strategy proposed in scaffold synthesis.

Stereoselective synthesis of dihydrothiadiazinoazines and dihydrothiadiazinoazoles and their pyrolytic desulfurization ring contraction

Intramolecular base catalyzed C-C bond formation led to exclusive stereoselective syntheses of trans-6,7-dihydro-5H-[1,2,4]triazolo[3,4-b][1,3,4]thiadiazines, trans-7,8-dihydro-6H-[1,2,4]triazino[3,4-b][1,3,4]thiadiazin-4-ones, and trans-3,4-dihydro-2H-[1,3,4]thiadiazino[2,3-b]quinazolin-10-one. trans-6,7-Dihydro-5H-[1,2,4]triazolo[3,4-b][1,3,4]thiadiazines isomerize slowly in CDCl₃ and more rapidly in DMSO-d₆ into the corresponding cis-stereoisomers. The other trans-6,7-dihydro-[1,3,4]thiadiazines isomerize also in DMSO-d₆ into the corresponding cis-stereoisomers. Pyrolytic conversion of these heterocyclic condensed dihydrothiadiazines into their corresponding pyrazolo[5,1-b][1,2,4]triazoles, pyrazolo[5,1-c][1,2,4]triazin-4-ones and pyrazolo[4,3-b]quinazolin-9-ones via desulfurization ring contraction is described.

Core-Modified Coelenterazine Luciferin Analogues: Synthesis and Chemiluminescence Properties

In this work on the design and studies of luciferins related to the blue-hued coelenterazine, the synthesis of heterocyclic analogues susceptible to produce a photon, possibly at a different wavelength, is undertaken. Here, the synthesis of O-acetylated derivatives of imidazo[1,2-b]pyridazin-3(5 H)-one, imidazo[2,1-f][1,2,4]triazin-7(1 H)-one, imidazo[1,2-a]pyridin-3-ol, imidazo[1,2-a]quinoxalin-1(5 H)-one, benzo[f]imidazo[1,2-a]quinoxalin-3(11 H)-one, imidazo[1′,2′:1,6]pyrazino[2,3-c]quinolin-3(11 H)-one, and 5,11-dihydro-3 H-chromeno[4,3-e]imidazo[1,2-a]pyrazin-3-one is described thanks to extensive use of the Buchwald–Hartwig N-arylation reaction. The acidic hydrolysis of these derivatives then gave solutions of the corresponding luciferin analogues, which were studied. Not too unexpectedly, even if these were “dressed” with substituents found in actual substrates of the nanoKAZ/NanoLuc luciferase, no bioluminescence was observed with these compounds. However, in a phosphate buffer, all produced a light signal, by chemiluminescence, with extensive variations in their respective intensity and this could be increased by adding a quaternary ammonium salt in the buffer. This aspect was actually instrumental to determine the emission spectra of many of these luciferin analogues.
