The products of the reaction of 2-aryl-5-R-5,6-dihydro-7H-[1,2,4]triazolo[5,1-b][1,3]thiazin-7-ones with aryl bromomethyl ketones are 2-aryl-7H-[1,2,4]triazolo[5,1-b][1,3]thiazin-7-ones and aryl methyl ketones or 2,5-diaryl[1,3]thiazolo[3,2-b][1,2,4]triazoles and 3-phenyl-2-propenoic acid, depending on the structure of R. The reaction of 2-aryl-5-R-5,6-dihydro-7H-[1,2,4]triazolo[5,1-b][1,3]thiazin-7-ones with benzyl bromide yields 5-aryl-3-benzylthio-4H-1,2,4-triazoles and 3-aryl-2-propenoyl bromide. __________ Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 6, pp. 905–909, June, 2005.

Synthesis and Transformations of 2-R-5-Aryl-5,6-dihydro-7H-[1,2,4]-triazolo[5,1-b][1,3]thiazin-7-ones

A new procedure for preparation of 2-R-5-aryl-5,6-dihydro-7H-[1,2,4]triazolo[5,1-b][1,3]thiazin-7-ones by condensation of 5-R-1,2,4-triazole-3-thiones with 3-arylacryloyl chlorides was developed. The thiazine ring of the [1,2,4]triazolo[5,1-b][1,3]thiazin-7-ones is easily cleaved by treating with ammonia and hydrazine affording amides and hydrazides of 3-aryl-3-(1H-1,2,4-triazol-5-ylsulfanyl)propanoic acids. The latter react with isothiocyanates furnishing carbamoyl thiohydrazides of 3-aryl-3-(1H-1,2,4-triazol-5-ylsulfanyl)propanoic acids that in alkaline media undergo cyclization into 4-aryl-5-[2-(4H-1,2,4-triazol-5-ylsulfanyl)-2-phenylethyl]-2,4-dihydro-3H-1,2,4-triazole-5-thiones.

Reactions of 5-R-3-amino-1,2,4-triazoles with ethoxymethylideneacetylacetone and ethyl ethoxymethylideneacetoacetate proceeded regioselectively, giving 2-R-7-methyl[1,2,4]triazolo[2,3-a]-pyrimidines in good yields.

Different modifications of the Hantzsch synthesis using 10-methyl-10H-phenothiazine-3-carbaldehyde gave 4-(10-methyl-10H-phenothiazin-3-yl)-substituted 1,4-dihydropyridine-3,5-di-, 5-oxo-4,5-dihydro-1H-indeno[1,2-b]pyridine-, and 5,5-dioxo-4,5-dihydro-1H-5λ⁶-benzo[4,5]thieno[3,2-b]pyridine-3-carboxylic esters. __________ Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 2, pp. 280–288, February, 2007.     

Synthesis of 6-[4-(allyl/phenyl)-5-thioxo-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl]pyrimidine-2,4-diones and their reaction with electrophiles

Cyclization of 1-(2,4-dioxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyrimidin-6-yl)carbonyl-4-R-thiosemicarbazides in basic medium gave 6-(4-R-5-thioxo-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)pyrimidine-2,4-diones (R = Allyl, Ph). Alkylation of the latter with iodomethane occurred at the sulphur atom to give the corresponding methylsulfanyl derivatives. Acetylation using acetyl chloride occurred at the N₍₁₎ atom of the triazole ring to the corresponding acetyl derivative when R = Ph but for R = Allyl the acetylation did not occur under the same conditions. In the presence of bromine in refluxing methanol the indicated allyl-substituted compound cyclizes to 6-bromomethyl-3-(2,4-dioxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyrimidin-6-yl)-5,6-dihydrothiazolo[2,3-c]-1,2,4-triazole. Under Mannich and bromination conditions the methylsulfanyl derivatives prepared form derivatives at the 5 position of the uracil ring: 5-methylmorpholino-(piperidino)-and 5-bromo-(4-R-5-thioxo-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)pyrimidine-2,4-diones respectively. __________ Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 6, pp. 906–912, June, 2006.

A new series of 1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-a]-quinoline derivatives were designed and synthesized to meet the structural requirements essential for anticancer activity. N-1-(5-Methylisoxazol-4-yl/4-fluoro-2,3-dihydro-1H-inden-1-yl/aryl)-N’-3-(4,5-dihydro-1-methyl-[1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]quinolin-7-yl) urea derivatives were accomplished in good yields by the reaction of 4,5-dihydro-1-methyl-[1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]quinolin-7-amine with 3-(3-chloro-5-fluoro-2-methoxyphenyl)-5-methyl-isoxazole-4-carboxylic acid, 4-fluoro-2,3-dihydro-1H-indene-1-carboxylic acid, and various simple aromatic carboxylic acids in the presence of diphenyl phosphoryl azide (DPPA). All the newly synthesized title compounds were characterized by elemental and spectral data. Furthermore, anticancer activity was screened for the title compounds (12a–j) in vitro against human neuroblastoma cell lines (SK N SH) and human colon carcinoma cell lines (COLO 205) by using the MTT cell viability method. A few of them (12a and 12b) possess significant cytotoxicity, and some other compounds 12d-f and 12j displayed moderate cytotoxicity against both cell lines.

4-Amino-5-(4,6-diphenyl-2-pyrimidinyl)-3,4-dihydro-2H-1,2,4-trazole-3-thione is formed from the reaction of 4,6-diphenylpyrimidinecarboxylic acid or its ethyl ester with thiocarbonyl hydrazide.
