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 %).

A facile one-pot synthesis of 6,7,8,9-tetrahydrobenzo[4,5]thieno[2,3-d]-1,2,4-triazolo[4,5-a]pyrimidin-5-ones

Abstract  

The reaction of 2-mercapto-6,7,8,9-tetrahydro-3H-benzo[4,5]thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4-one or its 2-methylthio derivative with hydrazonoyl halides, in the presence of triethylamine, yielded 6,7,8,9-tetrahydrobenzo[4,5]thieno[2,3-d]-1,2,4-triazolo[4,5-a]pyrimidin-5-ones. The structure of the latter compounds was further confirmed by reaction of 2-mercapto-6,7,8,9-tetrahydro-3H-benzo[4,5]thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4-one with the appropriate active chloromethylenes followed by coupling of the products with benzenediazonium chloride to afford the non-isolable azo-coupling products which converted, in situ, to 6,7,8,9-tetrahydrobenzo[4,5]thieno[2,3-d]-1,2,4-triazolo[4,5-a]pyrimidin-5-ones. The reaction mechanism was proposed and the products were screened for their biological activity. Some of the newly synthesized compounds had a moderate effect against some bacterial and fungal species.

Starting from the readily available 4-bromomethy-5-carbethoxy 1,2,3-thiadiazole (V), 5-bromomethy-4-carbethoxy-1,2,3-thiadiazole (IX) and ethyl 2-aryl-5-bromomethyloxazole-4-carboxylate (XIV), 4,10-dihydro-10-oxo[1]benzoxepino[3,4-d][1,2,3]thiadiazole (Ia), 4,10-dihydro-10-oxo[1]benzothiepino[3,4-d][1,2,3]thiadiazole (Ib), 4,10-dihydro-4-oxo[1]benzothiepino[4,3-d] [1,2,3]thiazole (II), 2-aryl-4,10-dihydro-4-oxo[1]benzoxepino[4,3-d]oxazoles (XIXa-XIXc) and 2-aryl-4,10-dihydro-4-oxo[1]benzothiepino[4,3-d]oxazoles (XIXd-XIXf) were prepared.     

1,2,3-Triazolo[4,5-e]-1,2,4-triazolo[3,4-c]pyrimidines

Some new 1,2,3-triazolo[4,5-e]-1,2,4-triazolo[3, 4 -c]pyrimidmes were prepared starting from the corresponding 1,2,3-triazolo[4,5-d]pyrimidines via the formation of the 1,2,4-triazole ring. Thus suitable hydrazino derivatives 6 were condensed with triethyl orthoformate, triethyl orthoacetate and triethyl orthobenzoate to give the expected tricyclic derivatives 7 , 8 and 9 . Intramolecular cyclization of the ethoxycarbonylhydrazino derivatives 10 gave the tricyclic compounds 11 bearing an hydroxyl group in the 3 position. The v-triazolo-s-triazolopyrimidine derivatives were tested towards the A₁ and A_2A adenosine receptors in binding assays, but they did not show any receptor affinity.     

Thermal isomerization in cyclopenta[ fg ]aceanthrylene

Abstract  

Two mechanisms for the isomerization of cyclopenta[fg]aceanthrylene to acefluoranthene were revealed. The first pathway occurs via a cyclobutyl intermediate, whereas the second pathway involves a transition state that contains an sp ³-hybridized carbon atom. Both patterns show that the Stone-Wales rearrangement requires extremely high activation energy and indicate that the isomerization process can occur only under a drastic temperature regime.

Abstract  

Structural elucidation of the dihydro derivatives obtained as by-products in the classic salt method synthesis of pyrrolo[2,1-a]phthalazines and acetylenic dipolarophiles was achieved by X-ray diffraction analysis of a representative compound. In addition, new pyrrolo[2,1-a]phthalazines were obtained by a one-pot three-component reaction that avoids the formation of the dihydro derivative intermediates.

Protonation of electroneutral p-tert-butylcalix[4]arenetetraacetic acid

Abstract  

Using ¹H NMR spectroscopy together with density functional theoretical calculations, it is shown that electroneutral p-tert-butylcalix[4]arenetetraacetic acid forms an equimolar complex with a proton in the form of the H₃O⁺ ion in nitrobenzene-d ₅. Protons were offered by hydrogen bis(1,2-dicarbollyl)cobaltate and converted to hydroxonium ions by traces of water. In the resulting complex, the H₃O⁺ cation is bound by strong hydrogen bonds to two phenoxy oxygen atoms of the parent calix[4]arene ligand and to one carbonyl oxygen of the corresponding COOH group of this ligand.     

The different modes of chiral [1,2,3]triazolo[5,1‐b][1,3,4]thiadiazines: crystal packing,conformation investigation and cellular activity

The crystal structures of four new chiral [1,2,3]triazolo[5,1‐b][1,3,4]thiadiazines are described, namely, ethyl 5′‐benzoyl‐5′H,7′H‐spiro[cyclohexane‐1,6′‐[1,2,3]triazolo[5,1‐b][1,3,4]thiadiazine]‐3′‐carboxylate, C₁₉H₂₂N₄O₃S, ethyl 5′‐(4‐methoxybenzoyl)‐5′H,7′H‐spiro[cyclohexane‐1,6′‐[1,2,3]triazolo[5,1‐b][1,3,4]thiadiazine]‐3′‐carboxylate, C₂₀H₂₄N₄O₄S, ethyl 6,6‐dimethyl‐5‐(4‐methylbenzoyl)‐6,7‐dihydro‐5H‐[1,2,3]triazolo[5,1‐b][1,3,4]thiadiazine‐3‐carboxylate, C₁₇H₂₀N₄O₃S, and ethyl 5‐benzoyl‐6‐(4‐methoxyphenyl)‐6,7‐dihydro‐5H‐[1,2,3]triazolo[5,1‐b][1,3,4]thiadiazine‐3‐carboxylate, C₂₁H₂₀N₄O₄S. The crystallographic data and cell activities of these four compounds and of the structures of three previously reported similar compounds, namely, ethyl 5′‐(4‐methylbenzoyl)‐5′H,7′H‐spiro[cyclopentane‐1,6′‐[1,2,3]triazolo[5,1‐b][1,3,4]thiadiazine]‐3′‐carboxylate, C₁₉H₂₂N₄O₃S, ethyl 5′‐(4‐methoxybenzoyl)‐5′H,7′H‐spiro[cyclopentane‐1,6′‐[1,2,3]triazolo[5,1‐b][1,3,4]thiadiazine]‐3′‐carboxylate, C₁₉H₂₂N₄O₄S, and ethyl 6‐methyl‐5‐(4‐methylbenzoyl)‐6‐phenyl‐6,7‐dihydro‐5H‐[1,2,3]triazolo[5,1‐b][1,3,4]thiadiazine‐3‐carboxylate, C₂₂H₂₂N₄O₃S, are contrasted and compared. For both crystallization and an MTT assay, racemic mixtures of the corresponding [1,2,3]triazolo[5,1‐b][1,3,4]thiadiazines were used. The main manner of molecular packing in these compounds is the organization of either enantiomeric pairs or dimers. In both cases, the formation of two three‐centre hydrogen bonds can be detected resulting from intramolecular N—H…O and intermolecular N—H…O or N—H…N interactions. Molecules of different enantiomeric forms can also form chains through N—H…O hydrogen bonds or form layers between which only weak hydrophobic contacts exist. Unlike other [1,2,3]triazolo[5,1‐b][1,3,4]thiadiazines, ethyl 5′‐benzoyl‐5′H,7′H‐spiro[cyclohexane‐1,6′‐[1,2,3]triazolo[5,1‐b][1,3,4]thiadiazine]‐3′‐carboxylate contains molecules of only the (R)‐enantiomer; moreover, the N—H group does not participate in any significant intermolecular interactions. Molecular mechanics methods (force field OPLS3e) and the DFT B3LYP/6‐31G+(d,p) method show that the compound forming enantiomeric pairs via weak N—H…N hydrogen bonds is subject to greater distortion of the geometry under the influence of the intermolecular interactions in the crystal. For intramolecular N—H…O and S…O interactions, an analysis of the noncovalent interactions (NCIs) was carried out. The cellular activities of the compounds were tested by evaluating their antiproliferative effect against two normal human cell lines and two cancer cell lines in terms of half‐maximum inhibitory concentration (IC₅₀). Some derivatives have been found to be very effective in inhibiting the growth of Hela cells at nanomolar and submicromolar concentrations with minimal cytotoxicity in relation to normal cells.     

[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.

Condensation of 4-phenylhydrazino substituted derivatives with formic acid gave zwitterionic compounds.

Analogously, (1,2,3‐triazol‐4‐yl)thieno[2,3‐b]pyridine derivatives were obtained from sodium 3‐hydroxy‐1‐(5‐methyl‐1‐phenyl‐1H‐1,2,3‐ triazole‐4‐yl)prop‐2‐en‐1‐one and cyanothioacetamide followed by its reacting with active methylene compounds. In addition to full characterization of all synthesized compounds, they were tested to evaluate their antimicrobial activities, and some compounds showed competitive activities to those of tetracycline, the typical antibacterial drug, and clotrimazole, the typical antifungal drug.
