On the other hand, refluxing of chalcones with either thiosemicarbazide or isonicotinic acid hydrazide in ethanol containing a few drops of acetic acid gave pyrazoline-1-thiocarboxamides and isonicotinoyl pyrazolines, respectively. The structures of the synthesized compounds were determined on the basis of their elemental analyses and spectroscopic data. The antimicrobial activity of the newly isolated heterocyclic compounds was evaluated against Gram-positive, Gram-negative bacteria and fungi. Most of the compounds showed a moderate degree of potent antimicrobial activity.

Heterocyclic derivatives linked 1,3,4‐oxadiazole obtained by cyclocondensation of 2a‐2g with acetic anhydride in absolute ethanol, and 2a‐2g cyclized with mercaptoacetic acid in DMF in the presence of anhydrous ZnCl₂ afforded the 1,3‐thiazolidinone derivatives.

Also, condensation of 2 with appropriate aromatic acid in POCl3 yielded oxadiazole derivatives (5a-c), or with aldehydes and ketones afforded hydrazones (6a-c). Cyclization of (6a-c) with acetic anhydride gave the desired dihydroxadiazole derivatives (7a-c). On the other hand, reaction of dithiocarbazate (8) with hydrazine hydrate gave the corresponding triazole derivative (9) which on treatment with carboxylic acids in refluxing POCl3 yielded s-triazole[3,4-b]-1, 3, 4-thiadiazole derivatives (10a-b).

Synthesis and Reactions of Some New Heterocyclic Compounds Containing Cycloalka[e]thieno[2,3‐b]pyridine Moiety

Hydrolysis of ethyl 3-amino-4-aryl-cycloalka[e]thieno[2,3-b]pyridine-2-carboxylates ( 3a-d) gave the corresponding o-aminocarboxylic acids 4a-d . Heating the latter compounds ( 4a-d) with acetic anhydride furnished the oxazinone derivatives 5a-d which, in turn, underwent recyclization reaction to give the corresponding pyrimidinones 6a-d upon treatment with ammonium acetate in acetic acid. Reaction of 3-amino-4-aryl-cycloalka[e]thieno[2,3-b]pyridine-2-carboxamides ( 3f,h ) with triethyl orthoformate gave pyrimidinone derivatives 7a,b . Reaction of 3-amino-4-phenyl-cycloalka[e]thieno[2,3-b]pyridine-2-carboxamides 3e,h with aromatic aldehydes furnished tetrahydropyridothienopyrimidinones 8a-d . Chlorination of 7a,b and 6a-d by using phosphorous oxychloride produced 4-chlorocycloalka[5′,6′]pyrido[3′,2′:4,5]thieno[3,2-d]pyrimidine derivatives 9a-f which were used as key intermediates in the synthesis of several new cycloalkapyrido-thienopyrimidines 10a-f ˜ 14a-f . Moreover, some cycloalkapyridothienotriazinones 15a,b-17a,b were synthesized.     

New multi-1,2,3-selenadiazole aromatic derivatives

The aromatic polyketones 3a-d are versatile compounds for the synthesis of the multi-1,2,3-selenadiazole aromatic derivatives 1a-d. The preparation starts with the reaction between the multi-bromomethylene benzene derivatives 2a-d and 4-hydroxy- acetophenone to give compounds 3a-d which are transformed through the reaction with semicarbazide hydrochloride or ethyl hydrazine carboxylate into the corresponding semicarbazones derivatives 4a-d or hydrazones 5a-d. The reaction with selenium dioxide leads to regiospecific ring closure of semicarbazones or hydrazones to give the multi- 1,2,3-selenadiazole aromatic derivatives in high yield.     

Synthetic Approach to 6-Benzoyl-2H-[1,2,4]triazine-3,5-dione and 6-Benzyl-5-thioxo-3,4-dihydro-2H-[1,2,4]triazin-3-one and Studies on Their Transformation to Fused[1,2,4]triazine Systems

Reaction of phenylpyruvic acid with semicarbazide afforded 6-benzyl-2H-[1,2,4]triazine-3,5-dione ( 1 ) which upon oxidation with potassium dichromate furnished 6-benzoyl-2H-[1,2,4]triazine-3,5-dione ( 2 ) in good yield. Constructing pyrazolo[3,4-e][1,2,4]triazine system ( 4 ) was achieved by reacting 2 with arylhydrazines in ethanolic solution. However treatment of 2 with the less reactive heteroarylhydrazines gave only the corresponding hydrazones ( 3 ). Attempt for constructing 1,2,4,5,10-pentaaza-dibenzo[a,d]cyclohept-3-one ( 7 ) from 2 was failed and (benzoimidazol-2-yl) [1,2,4] triazine derivative ( 6 ) was the only product. Reaction of 1 with phosphorus pentasulphide afforded compounds 8 and 9 . Compound 8 was transformed to the hydrazino compound 14 , which led to the construction of triazolo[4,3-d] [1,2,4]triazine system. Thus compounds 15 and 16 were obtained by reacting 14 with carbon disulfide or acetic anhydride respectively. Attempt to couple 8 with chloroacetic acid failed, while it's known isomer 10 led to the formation of thiazolo [2,3-c] [1,2,4]triazine derivative ( 13 ). Simple theoretical calculation using AM1 and PM3 semiempirical Hamitonian provided rational ways to correlate the reactivity with structure proposed.

N-(Furan-2-ylmethylidene)-4,6-dimethyl-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridine-3-amine was prepared and alkyla- ted with the corresponding halo compounds to afford N-alkylated products. 2-[3-(Furan-2-ylmethy- lideneamino)-4,6-dimethyl-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridin-1-yl]acetohydrazide was converted into the key intermediate thiosemicarbazide, which undergoes cyclization reactions under acidic and basic conditi- ons to give 1,2,4-triazole, 1,3,4-oxadiazole, and 1,3,4-thiadiazole derivatives. Condensation of the hyd- razide with monosaccharide aldoses gave the corresponding sugar hydrazones, which on treatment with acetic anhydride readily undergo cyclization reaction to afford oxadiazoline derivatives.     

Synthesis and Reactions of Some Substituted Heterocyclic Systems as Anti-arrhythmic Agents

Summary. A series of substituted heterocyclic systems were prepared from N ¹-[4-(2-thienylmethylene)phenyl]-5-chloro-2-methoxybenzamide, which was prepared from the corresponding 5-chloroanisic acid (2-methoxy-4-chlorobenzoic acid) as starting material. Condensation of the thienylmethylene derivative with guanidine hydrochloride, urea, or thiourea afforded the aminopyrimidine, pyrimidinone, and thioxopyrimidine derivatives. The latter was condensed with chloroacetic acid to yield a thiazolopyrimidine, which was condensed with 2-thiophenealdehyde to yield the arylmethylene derivative, however, it was also prepared directly from thiopyrimidine by the action of chloroacetic acid, 2-thiophenealdehyde, and anhydrous sodium acetate. Treating of the thienylmethylene derivative with phenylhydrazine or hydrazine hydrate in dioxane afforded N-phenylpyrazoline and a pyrazoline, which was reacted with acetyl chloride in dioxane affording the N-acetyl analogue. The thienylmethylene derivative was reacted with malononitrile or ethyl cyanoacetate in the presence of ammonium acetate to yield the corresponding cyanoaminopyridine and cyanopyrimidone derivatives. Also, it was reacted with hydroxylamine hydrochloride in pyridine to give the oxime derivative, which was cyclized with acetic anhydride. On the other hand, condensation of the thienylmethylene derivative with ethyl cyanoacetate in the presence of sodium ethoxide or cyanothioacetamide gave the cyanopyrane and pyridine thione derivative, which was treated with ethyl chloroacetate affording the ethyl carboxylate derivative. The pharmacological screening showed that many of these compounds have good anti-arrhythmic activity and low toxicity.

Bis(oxazol-5(4H)-ones) were reacted with the appropriate aromatic or heterocyclic amines in glacial acetic acid in the presence of fused sodium acetate at 100°C for 24 hours to afford a novel series of bis(2-phenylimidazol-4-ones) and their related hybrids with benzo[d]thiazole and pyrimidine-2,4(1H,3H)-dione.

Furthermore, bis(3-(arylthiomethyl)benzaldehydes) were reacted with 2,2′-(terephthaloylbis(azanediyl))diacetic acid in acetic anhydride containing fused sodium acetate at 100°C for 12 hours to give benzo-fused macrocycles containing oxazolone subunits which reacted with appropriate aromatic amines in DMF and glacial acetic acid containing fused sodium acetate at 100°C for 24 hours to give benzo-fused macrocycles containing imidazolone subunits.

The reaction of methyl ketones 1a-g with dimethylformamide dimethylacetal (DMFDMA) afforded the enaminones 2a-g, which were coupled with diazotized aromatic amines 3a,b to give the corresponding aryl hydrazones 6a-h. Condensation of compounds 6a-h with some aromatic heterocyclic amines afforded iminoarylhydrazones 9a-m. Enaminoazo compounds 12a,b could be obtained from condensation of 6c with secondary amines. The reaction of 6e,h with benzotriazolylacetone yielded 14a,b. Also, the reaction of 6a,b,d-f,h with glycine and hippuric acid in acetic anhydride afforded pyridazinone derivatives 17a-f. Synthesis of pyridazine carboxylic acid derivatives 22a,b from the reaction of 6b,e with dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate (DMAD) in the presence of triphenylphosphine at room temperature is also reported. Most of these reactions were conducted under irradiation in a microwave oven in the absence of solvent in an attempt to improve the product yields and to reduce the reaction times.
