Synthesis of [1,2,3]Triazolo[5,1-a]isoquinoline Derivatives via a Selective Cascade Cyclization Sequence of 1,2-bis(Phenylethynyl)benzene Derivatives

A direct, concise, synthetic method for the generation of [1,2,3]triazolo[5,1-a]isoquinoline derivatives, using a selective cascade cyclization of unsymmetrical substituted 1,2-bis(phenylethynyl)benzene derivatives with NaN₃, has been developed. The reaction gave different substituted [1,2,3]triazolo[5,1-a]isoquinolines in moderate to good yields. It was found that the substituents on the alkynes were important for the selectivities of the cascade cyclization sequences.     

[1,2,3]Triazoloazine/(Diazomethyl)azine Valence Tautomers from 5-Azinyltetrazoles

[1,2,3]Triazoloazines are formed by thermolysis of 5-azinyltetrazoles in the gasphase or in solution. Thus, 5-(2-pyridyl)tetrazole ( 7 ) and 5-(2-pyrazinyl)tetrazole ( 11 ) yield [1,2,3]triazolo[1,5-a]pyridine ( 9 ) and [1,2,3]triazolo[1,5-a]pyrazine ( 13 ), respectively, at 400°/10^?3 - 10^?5 Torr. 5-(2-Phenyl-4-quinazolinyl)tetrazole ( 15 ) gives 5-phenyl[1,2,3]triazolo[1,5-c]quinazoline ( 17 ) in 75% yield by heating under reflux in mesitylene solution. 2-(Diazomethyl)pyridine ( 8 ), a valence tautomer of 9 , can be trapped by fumaronitrile, leading to 3-(2-pyridyl)-1, 2-cyclopropanedicarbonitrile ( 19 ). The [1,2,3]triazoloazines undergo base catalysed H/D-exchange in D₂O solution.

Photocyclization of 3-chloro-N-phenylbenzo[b]thiophene-2-carboxamide 10 afforded [1]benzothieno[2,3-c]-quinolin-6(5H)-one 11 which was chlorinated to 6-chloro[1]benzothieno[2,3-c]quinoline 12 followed by dechlorination to give [1]benzothieno[2,3-c]quinoline 5 . A series of 6-substituted alkoxy and thioalkoxy[1]benzothieno[2,3-c]quinoline derivatives were prepared along with the N-methyl quaternary salt 13 of 5 . 6-Chloro[1]-benzothieno[2,3-c]quinoline 12 was converted into 6-hydrazino[1]benzothieno[2,3-c]quinoline 23 which upon treatment with formic acid yielded [1]benzothieno[2,3-c][1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]quinoline 6 . Treatment of 23 with nitrous acid resulted in [1]benzothieno[2,3-c]tetrazolo[1,5-a]quinoline 7 . Compounds 6 and 7 are novel heterocyclic ring systems.

Synthesis and crystal structure of piperidinium 2-aryl[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyridinides and their neutralization to 2-aryl[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyridines

A one step synthesis of novel piperidinium 2-aryl[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyridinides 6 from 2′-benzoyl-2-cyanoacetohydrazide (2) and α-substituted cinnamonitriles 3 is described. The reaction takes place by 6-exodig cyclization followed by an 5-exo-trig process to afford salts 6 . The X-ray diffraction of compound 6a reveal that the cation is strongly linked to the anion by hydrogen bonds and a characteristic partial stacking motive. 2-Aryl[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyridines were obtained from salts 6 by treatment with hydrochloric acid.

Cyclocondensation of 6-acetyl-4,7-dihydro-5-methyl-7-phenyl[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine with hydroxylamine and hydrazine

The cyclocondensation of 6-acetyl-4,7-dihydro-5-methyl-7-phenyl[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine (3) with hydroxylamine or hydrazine leads to 3a,4,9,9a-tetrahydro-3,9a-dimethyl-4-phenylisoxazolo-[5,4-d][1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine ( 4a ) and 3a,4,9,9a-tetrahydro-3,9a-dimethyl-4-phenyl-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-d][1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine ( 4b ), respectively. In the presence of methanolic hydrogen chloride, 4b undergoes a cleavage of the pyrimidine ring to yield (5-amino-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)(3,5-dimethylpyrazol-4-yl)phenylmethane ( 5 ). The structure determination of the compounds obtained is based on ¹H and ¹³C nmr spectra including NOE measurements.

New routes to the v-triazolo[1,5-a]pyridine and pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyridine ring systems

New routes to the v-triazolo[1,5-a]pyridine and pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyridine ring systems are described. Treatment of the N-amine salts of 2-picolinealdehyde oxime or 2-pyridyl ketone oximes with polyphosphoric acid gave v-triazolo[1,5-a]pyridines in fair yields. Treatment of 2-picolyl ketones or their oximes with O-mesitylenesulfonylhydroxylamine produced directly pyrazolo-[1,5-a]pyridines. These reactions were extended to the quinoline cases.

Derivatives of the linear tricyclic system, 5,6-dihydro-7H-thiopyrano[3,2-d][1,2,4]triazolo[2,3-a]pyrimidine, were prepared by condensation of 3-amino-1,2,4-triazole with ethyl 3-oxo-tetrahydropyran-2-carboxylate. The tricyclic heteroaryl-piperazines lacked significant hypoglycemic activity.     

The reaction of β-lactam carbenes with 3,6-di(2-pyrimidinyl)tetrazine: regulating products by reaction conditions

Synthesis of Triazolo[1,5‐a]triazin‐7‐one Derivatives and Highly Functionalized [1,2,4]Triazoles

The synthesis of novel triazolo[1,5‐a]triazin‐7‐ones is presented. Starting from 3‐amino‐5‐sulfanyl‐1,2,4‐triazole, the synthetic sequence involved alkylation with benzyl bromide, reaction with p‐nitrophenyl chloroformate followed by treatment with a primary amine, and condensation with diethoxymethyl acetate. Final oxidation of the thioether moiety with 3‐chloroperbenzoic acid provided 2‐(benzylsulfonyl)[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5‐a][1,3,5]triazin‐7‐ones 5a and 5b in good overall yields. Treatment of 5a and 5b with secondary amines provided highly functionalized [1,2,4]triazoles through an unexpected triazinone ring opening. A mechanism for this transformation is proposed.     

Synthesis of nitrogen-containing heterocycles. 5. A new route to 5-amino-[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a][1,3,5]triazine derivatives

Treatment of certain diaminomethylenehydrazones 1 of aromatic carbonyl compounds with ethyl N-cyanoimidate ( 2 ) in acetonitrile in the presence of a tertiary amine at room temperature gives the corresponding amino(N-cyanoiminomethyl)aminomethylenehydrazones 3 in high yields. The intermediate 3 can readily be cyclized to the corresponding 5-amino-2,3-dihydro[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a][1,3,5]triazines 4 in moderate to good yields by brief heating in acetonitrile. When the reaction of diaminomethylenehydrazones 1 with ethyl N-cyanoimidate ( 2 ) is performed at reflux temperature in the presence of a tertiary amine, 5-amino-2,3-dihydro[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]1,3,5]triazines 4 can be directly obtained in moderate yields. The yields of triazolotriazine produced by the one-step synthesis are generally comparable or even higher than the overall yields from the two-step procedure.
