Simple syntheses of benzothiazol‐2‐ylazoles

Syntheses of the title ring systems are described starting with benzothiazol‐2‐ylacetohydrazide (1). Thus, 1 was reacted with carbon disulfide to afford the 2‐methyl heteroaryl derivative 2, which on reaction with hydrazine hydrate yielded the corresponding triazole compound 3. Also, 1 can undergo a reaction with an isothiocyanate to give the N‐thiocarbonyl adduct 4 that can then be cyclized to produce a 2‐methyl heteroaryl analog 5 or 6. Compounds 8 or 9 could be obtained by the reaction of 1 with an aryl aldehyde followed by malononitrile or via its self‐cyclization, respectively. © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Reaction of XII with acetic anhydride gave the diacetyl derivative XVI. Hydrolysis of compound XII with sodium hydroxide gave the corresponding acid (XVII) which on treatment with acetic anhydride gave the oxazine derivative (XVIII). Reaction of oxazine compound XVIII with ammonium acetate and hydrazine hydrate gave pyrido[3′,2′:4,5] thieno[3,2-d]pyrimidin-4.7-dione derivative (XIX) and (XX) respectively. The N-amino derivative (XX) was reacted with 4-nitrobenzaldehyde to give the corresponding azomethine (XXI).
