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

The reaction of β-lactam carbenes with 3,6-di(2-pyrimidinyl)tetrazine was studied, which produced good yields of novel 5-(3-[1,2,3]triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidinyl)pyrrol-2-ones or pyrrolo[3′,2′:3,4]pyrrolo[1,2-a]pyrimidin-2-ones under heating at 100 °C or 140 °C, respectively. This work provided a highly efficient strategy for the construction of both [1,2,3]triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine and pyrrolo[3′,2′:3,4]pyrrolo[1,2-a]pyrimidine ring systems from the same reactants, and extended the application of β-lactam carbenes in the syntheses of complex heterocycles.

2,4,7-Trisubstituted hydrogenated pyrazino[1,2-a]pyrazines as potential β-turn mimetics were prepared for the first time in a stereoselective synthesis from hexahydro[1,2,3]triazolo[1,5-a]pyrazines.     

Triazolopyridines. Part 28. The ring–chain isomerization strategy: triazolopyridine- and triazoloquinoline–pyridine based fluorescence ligands

The ring–chain isomerization of [1,2,3]triazolo[1,5-a]pyridines or [1,2,3]triazolo[1,5-a] quinolines has been efficiently employed as a tool to provide tridentate fluorescent structures. Based on these scaffolds, a new family of highly fluorescent compounds has been synthesized and evaluated for the recognition of zinc or copper cations. In addition, the 1:1 Zn⁺²-L complex of a naphthalene triazolopyridine–pyridine derivative revealed high efficiency as sensor for anions providing large binding constants for nitrite and cyanide.

The chemical reactivity of the [1,2,3]triazolo[1,5-a]- and [1,5-c]-pyrimidinium salts towards morpholine, water and sodium methoxide have been studied. Among others, new 1-aza and 2-azabutadienes substituted by a [1,2,3]-triazole ring were obtained in the course of the opening of the positively charged pyrimidine ring.

The regioselective synthesis of new triazolopyridine halides and sulfoxides with the substituent in all different ring positions of [1,2,3]triazolo[1,5-a]pyridines is presented.

Synthesis of [1,2,3]Triazolo[1,5-a]quinoline-3-carboxamides Promoted by Organocatalyst and Base

We described here a simple and metal-free protocol to synthesize [1,2,3]triazolo[1,5-a]quinoline 3-carboxamides through a two-step synthetic strategy, in which the first step uses organocatalysis (10 mol % of diethylamine or 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene, while the second step involves the use of inorganic base (1.2 or 0.1 equiv. of potassium hydroxide). These reactions were performed between β-keto amides and o-carbonyl phenylazides in dimethylsulfoxide as solvent at 70 °C for 2 h. The synthetic protocol is ample, which thirteen examples of secondary [1,2,3]triazolo[1,5-a]quinoline 3-carboxamides were synthesized ranging from good to excellent yields (63-96 %), and six different tertiary [1,2,3]triazolo[1,5-a]quinolines 3-carboxamides were obtained ranging from moderate to good yields (48–76 %).     

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.

Derivatives of the new ring system pyrazolo[3,4-d][1,2,3]triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine were synthesized from the corresponding angular isomers, through a Dimroth rearrangement, in quantitative yields. Preliminary computational studies demonstrated that this class of compounds could be a good candidate as DNA intercalating agents.     

One-pot synthesis of triazole-fused isoindoles from o-alkynylbenzaldehydes and trimethylsilyl azide

An efficient one-pot synthesis of 1,2,3-triazole-fused isoindoles from o-alkynylbenzaldehydes and trimethylsilyl azide (TMSN₃) is reported. The reaction proceeds through the formation of a diazide intermediate and a subsequent intramolecular azide-alkyne cycloaddition, providing a novel access to a variety of 8-azido-8H-[1,2,3]triazolo[5,1-a]isoindoles in high yields.     

[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.     

Synthesis of ethyl 4,5-disubstituted 2-azido-3-thiophenecarboxylates and use in the synthesis of thieno[3,2-e][1,2,3]triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidin-5(4H)-ones

New heterocyclic azides, ethyl 2-azido-4-R¹-5-R²-3-thiophenecarboxylates, were synthesized by diazotization of 2-aminothiophenes and subsequent treatment with sodium azide. The reactions of these heterocyclic azides with β-ketoesters and activated acetonitriles were studied. The derivatives of thieno[3,2-e][1,2,3]triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine, a new ring system, were prepared in high yields via an anionic hetero-domino reaction.     

Angular Regioselectivity in the Reactions of 2-Thioxopyrimidin-4-ones and Hydrazonoyl Chlorides: Synthesis of Novel Stereoisomeric Octahydro[1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]quinazolin-5-ones

The regioselective synthesis of cis and trans stereoisomers of variously functionalized octahydro[1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]quinazolin-5-ones was performed. The 2-thioxopyrimidin-4-ones used in the synthesis reacted with hydrazonoyl chlorides in a regioselective manner to produce the angular regioisomers [1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]quinazolin-5-ones rather than the linear isomers [1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]quinazolin-5-ones. The synthesis process took place with electronic control. The angular regiochemistry of the products was confirmed by X-ray experiments and two-dimensional NMR studies.     

Cyclization of substituted 3,4-diaminopyridines into 1H-[1,2,3]triazolo[4,5-c]pyridine 2-oxide derivatives during the nitration process

The nitration of pyridine-3,4-diamine, its N,N′-diacetyl derivative, and N ⁴-alkylpyridine-3,4-diamines with excess nitric acid in concentrated sulfuric acid at 60°C was accompanied by cyclization with formation of the corresponding 1-substituted 4-nitro-1H-[1,2,3]triazolo[4,5-c]pyridine 2-oxides. 4-Chloro-1H-[1,2,3]triazolo[4,5-c]pyridine 2-oxide derivatives were obtained under analogous conditions from 2-chloropyridine-3,4-diamine, its N,N′-diacetyl derivative, and 2-chloro-N ⁴-methylpyridine-3,4-diamine. The nitration of these compounds at 80–90°C gave 4-chloro-7-nitro-1H-[1,2,3]triazolo[4,5-c]pyridine 2-oxides.     

Syntheses based on α-azidooximes: II. Preparation of 6,7-dihydrotriazolopyrazinones from aliphatic nitro compounds

α-Azidooximes readily obtained from aliphatic nitro compounds were cleanly converted into previously unknown 6,7-dihydro[1,2,3]triazolo[1,5-a]pyrazin-4(5H)-ones via [3+2]-cycloaddition to dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate and reduction of the oximino group in forming intermediates.     

Cyclocondensation of <Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-aryl-3-oxobutanethioamides with 1<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>-1,2,4-triazol-5-amine

Reactions of N-aryl-3-oxobutanethioamides with 1H-1,2,4-triazole-5-amine give mixtures of 7-arylamino-5-methyl[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidines, 5-methyl-4,7-dihydro[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine-7-thione, 7-methyl-4,5-dihydro[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine-5-thione, and 5-arylamino-7-methyl[1,2,4]triazolo[ 1,5-a]pyrimidines whose ratio depends on the substituent in the aryl group of initial N-aryl-3-oxobutanethioamide and solvent nature (the presence of a proton-donor solvent).     

A new modular and flexible approach to [1,2,3]triazolo[1,5-a][1,4]benzodiazepines

A new synthetic route for the access to [1,2,3]triazolo[1,5-a][1,4]benzodiazepines and other derivatives is described. This strategy is based on the cycloaddition of 2-oxoalkylidenephosphoranes to o-functionalized aryl azides followed by the reaction of the corresponding triazole intermediate with amines. This new approach presents unique properties such as regioselectivity, modularity, mild reaction conditions, and high yields.
