3‐Amino‐4‐aryl‐5‐ethoxycarbonyl‐6‐methylthieno[2,3‐b]pyridine‐2‐carboxamides 3a‐c were prepared from ethyl 4‐aryl‐3‐cyano‐6‐methyl‐2‐thioxo‐1,2‐dihydropyridine‐5‐carbonylates 1a‐c and reacted with some carbonyl compounds to give tetrahydropyridothienopyrimidine derivatives 6a‐c, 7a‐c and 8a‐c , respectively. Treatment of compound 3c with chloroacetyl chloride led to the formation of a next key compound, ethyl 2‐chloromethyl‐4‐oxo‐3,4‐dihydropyrido[3′,2′:4,5]thieno[3,2‐d]pyrimidine‐8‐carboxylate 9 . Also, 3‐amino‐2‐benzimidazolylthieno[2,3‐b]pyridine‐5‐carboxylate 5 and 2‐(3′‐aminothieno [2,3‐b]pyridin‐2′‐yl)‐4‐oxo‐3,4‐dihydropyrido[3′,2′:4,5]thieno[3,2‐d]pyrimidine‐8‐carboxylate 17 were prepared from 1c.

Starting with 2-substituted quinoline-3,4-dicarboxylic acids, a series of substituted 1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyrimido[4,5-c]quinolinone-3-thiones were obtained.

Synthesis and Reactions of the Novel 6‐ethyl‐4‐hydroxy‐2,5‐dioxo‐5,6‐dihydro‐2H‐pyrano[3,2‐c]quinoline‐3‐carboxaldehyde

The novel 6‐ethyl‐4‐hydroxy‐2,5‐dioxo‐5,6‐dihydro‐2H‐pyrano[3,2‐c]quinoline‐3‐carboxaldehyde ( 2 ) was efficiently synthesized from Vilsmeier–Haack formylation of 3‐(1‐ethy1‐4‐hydroxy‐2‐oxo‐(1H)‐quinolin‐3‐yl)‐3‐oxopropanoic acid ( 1 ). The aldehyde 2 was allowed to react with some nitrogen nucleophiles producing a variety of hydrazones 3 – 7 . Reaction of aldehyde 2 with hydrazine hydrate and hydroxylamine hydrochloride afforded pyrazole and isoxazole annulated pyrano[3,2‐c]quinoline‐2,5(6H)‐dione, respectively. The reactivity of aldehyde 2 was examined toward some active methylene nitrile, namely, malononitrile, ethyl cyanoacetate, and cyanoacetamide leading to 2‐iminopyrano[2′,3′:4,5]pyrano[3,2‐c]quinolines 10 – 12 , respectively. Also, some novel pyrazolo[4″,3″:5′,6′]pyrano[2′,3′:4,5]pyrano[3,2‐c]quinolines ( 13 , 14 ) and thiazolo[5″,4″:5′,6′]pyrano[2′,3′:4,5]pyrano[3,2‐c]quinolines ( 15 , 16 ) were synthesized.

One‐pot Sequential Reactions Featuring a Copper‐catalyzed Amination Leading to Pyrido[2′,1′:2,3]imidazo[4,5‐c]quinolines and Dihydropyrido[2′,1′:2,3]imidazo[4,5‐c]quinolines

Tetracyclic skeletons combining an imidazo[1,2‐a]pyridine moiety with a quinoline framework such as pyrido[2′,1′:2,3]imidazo[4,5‐b]quinoline are stimulating increasing interests since they are close isosteres of a series of powerful antiproliferative compounds. In this paper, we report a novel methodology for the synthesis of pyrido[2′,1′:2,3]imidazo[4,5‐c]quinolines through one‐pot sequential reactions of commercially available or readily obtainable 2‐aminopyridines, 2‐bromophenacyl bromides, aqueous ammonia, and aldehydes. Moreover, dihydropyrido[2′,1′:2,3]imidazo[4,5‐c]quinolines could also be obtained in a similar manner by using various ketones as the substrates in place of aldehydes. Notably, the whole procedure combines condensation/amination/cyclization reactions in one pot to give complex compounds in a simple and practical manner. Compared with literature methods, the synthetic strategy reported herein has the advantages of readily available starting materials, structural diversity of products, good functional group tolerance, and obviation of step‐by‐step operations.
