A new approach to the synthesis of pyridazino[4,5-c]pyridazinones

The reaction of 5-hydrazinopyridazin-3(2H)-ones 1 with α-keto diester 2 in acetic acid afforded the corresponding 4,6-dihydropyridazino[4,5-c]pyridazin-5(1H)-ones 3 and pyrrolo[2,3-d)pyridazin-4(5H)-ones 4 . Compounds 3 were also obtained from 4-bromo-5-hydrazinopyridazin-3(2H)-ones 8 and 2 under milder conditions. 5-Bromo-4-hydrazinopyridazin-3(2H)-one 9 , the regioisomer of 8b , also reacted readily with 2a to give 4,7-dihydropyridazino[4,5-c]pyridazin-8(1H)-one 10b , the regioisomer of 3b .     

Synthesis of novel 1-methyl-1H-pyridazino[3,4-b]indoles

New synthetic pathways have been elaborated to 1-methyl-1H-pyridazino[3,4-b]indoles starting from halopyridazin-3(2H)-ones. Suzuki cross-coupling reaction of chloro, iodo, dichloro, and dibromo substituted pyridazin-3(2H)-ones with 2-pivaloylaminophenylboronic acid followed by hydrolysis of the amide and subsequent ring closure via condensation gave fused indoles. Some of these compounds showed biological activity as antitrypanosomal agents.     

Pyrolytic desulfurization ring contraction of condensed thiadiazines as a general route towards pyrazoloazines and pyrazoloazoles with a bridgehead (ring junction) nitrogen atom

Pyrolytic conversion of [1,2,4]triazino[3,4-b][1,3,4]thiadiazin-4-ones, [1,3,4]thiadiazino[2,3-b]quinazolin-10-ones and [1,2,4]triazolo[3,4-b][1,3,4]thiadiazines into their corresponding pyrazolo[5,1-c][1,2,4]triazin-4-ones, pyrazolo[4,3-b]quinazolin-9-ones and pyrazolo[5,1-b][1,2,4]triazoles via desulfurization ring contraction is described. The starting condensed 1,3,4-thiadiazines were prepared from the corresponding readily available 4-amino-3-thioxo-1,2,4-triazin-5(4H)-ones, 3-amino-2,3-dihydro-2-thioxoquinazolin-4(1H)-one and 4-amino-3(2H)-thioxo-1,2,4-triazoles upon reaction with the appropriate α-haloketones in two steps, or directly in one step in ethylpyridinium tetrafluoroborate (ionic liquid, IL).     

Preparation of novel tricyclic ring systems containing the pyridazinone ring

Novel tricyclic ring systems, irmdazo[3,4-d]pyridazino[4,5-b][1,4]thiazines 3 , imidazo[2,1-b]pyridazino[4,5-e][1,3,4]thiadiazines 15 and 18 were prepared by the reaction of 5-amino-4-chloropyridazin-3(2H)-ones 1 and 5(4)-(1-methylhydrazino)-4(5)-chloropyridazin-3(2H)-ones 13 (16) with isothiocyanates 2 and 7 .     

Reactions of 1,3-Dialkyl-5-amino-1,3-dihydro-2<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>-imidazo-[4,5-<Emphasis Type="Italic">b</Emphasis>]pyridin-2-ones with acetylacetone and ethyl acetoacetate

1,3-Dialkyl-5-amino-1,3-dihydro-2H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-2-ones reacted with acetylacetone to give the corresponding 4-(1,3-dialkyl-2-oxo-1,3-dihydro-2H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-5-ylamino)pent-3-en-2-ones which underwent intramolecular cyclization to 1,3-dialkyl-5,7-dimethyl-1,3-dihydro-2H-imidazo[4,5-b]-[1,8]naphthyridin-2-ones on heating in polyphosphoric acid or diphenyl ether. Analogous reaction of 1,3-dialkyl-5-amino-1,3-dihydro-2H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-2-ones with ethyl acetoacetate led to the formation of ethyl 3-(1,3-dialkyl-2-oxo-1,3-dihydro-2H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-5-ylamino)but-2-enoates whose cyclization afforded 1,3-dialkyl-8-hydroxy-7-methyl-1,3-dihydro-2H-imidazo[5,4-b][1,8]naphthyridin-2-ones.     

Synthesis of 1-(1,3-dialkyl-2-oxo-2,3-dihydro-1<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>-imidazo-[4,5-<Emphasis Type="Italic">b</Emphasis>]pyridin-5-yl)-5-oxopyrrolidine-3-carboxylic acids

Nitration of 2,3-dihydro-1H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-2-one gave its 5-nitro derivative which was subjected to alkylation with dimethyl sulfate, diethyl sulfate, and benzyl(dimethyl)phenylammonium chloride. The resulting 1,3-dimethyl-, 1,3-diethyl-, and 1,3-dibenzyl-5-nitro-2,3-dihydro-1H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-2-ones were reduced to the corresponding 1,3-dialkyl-5-amino-2,3-dihydro-1H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-2-ones, and the latter reacted with itaconic acid to produce 1-(1,3-dialkyl-2-oxo-2,3-dihydro-1H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-5-yl)-5-oxopyrrolidine-3-carboxylic acids. 1-(2-Oxo-2,3-dihydro-1H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-5-yl)-5-oxopyrrolidine-3-carboxylic acid was obtained by analogous reaction with 5-amino-2,3-dihydro-1H-imidazo[4,5-b]-pyridin-2-one.     

Pyridazines. XXXV. Preparation of some novel pyrimido[4,5-c]pyridazine derivatives from 3-alkylamino- and 3-arylamino-4-pyridazinecarboxamides

Facile syntheses of pyrimido[4,5-c]pyridazine-5,7(6H,8H)diones 4 , pyrimido[4,5-c]pyridazin-5(8H)-ones 7–10 , and dihydropyrimido[4,5-c]pyridazin-5(6H)ones 5,6 starting from 3-chloro-4-pyridazinecarbonitrile 1 via aminocarbonitriles 2 and aminocarboxamides 3 are described. In addition, a convenient access to the new aminopyridazinecarbonitrile 11 from the chloronitrile 1, employing the tetrazolo[1,5-b]pyridazine 12 as the key intermediate, is reported.     

New polyheterocyclic series based on 4,5,6,7-tetrahydrothieno[2,3-c]pyridine

4,8-Dimethyl-6,7,8,9-tetrahydropyrido[4′,3′:4,5]thieno[2,3-e][1,2,4]triazolo[3,4-a]-4H-pyrimidin-5-ones, 7-methyl-2,3,6,7,8,9-hexahydropyrido[4′,3′:4,5]thieno[2,3-d]pyrrolo[1,2-a]-1H, 10H-pyrimidin-10-one, 8-methyl-1,2,3,4,7,8,9,10-octahydropyrido[4′,3′:4,5]thieno[2,3-d]-11H-pyrimidin-11-one, and 9-methyl-2,3,4,5,8,9,10,11-octahydro[4′,3′:4,5]thieno[2,3-d]azepino-[1,2-a]-1H, 12H-pyrimidin-12-one which consist four new heterocyclic ring systems were synthesized from 2-amino-3-carbethoxy-5-methyl-4,5,6,7-tetrahydrothieno[2,3-c]pyridine.     

The synthesis of pyridazino[4,5-d] pyridazines,pyrazino [2,3-d] pyridazines and a pyrimido [4,5-d] pyridazine

The synthetic chemistry of the relatively unknown pyridazino [4,5-d]pyridazine ring system has been extended. 1,4-Diaminopyridazino [4,5-d]pyridazine (VIII) has been prepared by two routes, the most interesting of these being the one-step conversion of 4,5-dicyanopyridazine into VIII with hydrazine. Upon nitration VIII gave only the mononitramine (X). Attempts to prepare 1,4-dichloropyridazino [4,5-d]pyridazine gave only 4-chloro-2H-pyridazino [4,5-d]pyridazin-1-one (XII). Pyrimido [4,5-d]pyridazine-1,3-dione (XIV) was prepared from pyridazine-4,5-dicarboxamide (IV). The hydrolysis of 5,8-dichloropyrazino [2,3-d]pyridazine (XV) gave 5-chloropyrazino [2,3-d]pyridazin-8-one (XVII) and likewise the ammonolysis of XV gave 5-amino-8-chloropyrazino [2,3-d]pyridazine (XX). As expected the hydrolysis of 5,8-dibromo-pyrazino [2,3-d]pyridazine (XXI) gave 5-bromopyrazino [2,3-d]pyridazin-8-one (XXII). Attempted catalytic dechlorination of 5-chloropyrazino [2,3-d]pyridazin-8-one (XVII) gave 1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyrazino [2,3-d]pyridazin-5-one (XIX).     

Electrophilic heterocyclization of 6-alken(yn)ylsulfanyl-pyrazolo[3,4-<Emphasis Type="Italic">d</Emphasis>]pyrimidin-4(5<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>)-ones

6-Allylsulfanyl-1-arylpyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-4(5H)-ones react with iodine and sulfuric acid to give angular pyrazolothiazolopyrimidine derivatives. The reaction of 6-(prop-2-yn-1-ylsulfanyl)-1-(4-tolyl)-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-4(5H)-one with sulfuric acid gives angularly fused pyrazolo[4,3-e][1,3]thiazolo-[3,2-a]pyrimidin-4-one, whereas in the reaction with sodium methoxide linearly fused pyrazolo[3,4-d][1,3]-thiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidin-4-one was formed. Linearly fused pyrazolo[3′,4′:4,5]pyrimido[2,1-b][1,3]thiazole derivatives were also obtained by reaction of 1-aryl-6-(3-phenylprop-2-en-1-ylsulfanyl)pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-4(5H)-ones with sulfuric acid.     

Unexpected behaviour of the oxidizing agent sodium m-nitrobenzenesulfonate: Synthesis of a new class of 5-hydroxy benzopyrano-[4,3-c]pyridazin-3(2H)-ones

Sodium m-nitrobenzene sulfonate, widely used in dehydrogenation of 4,5-dihydro-3(2H)-pyridazinones to their corresponding aromatic derivatives, behaves in an unexpected way when 4,4a-dihydro-5H[1]benzopyrano[4,3-c]pyridazin-3(2H)-ones are employed as substrate. The synthesis of a new class of 5-hydroxy[1]benzopyrano[4,3-c]pyridazin-3(2H)-ones is described.     

Cascade cyclization of 3(5)-aminopyrazoles with aromatic aldehydes and cyclohexanediones

Three-component condensation of 5(3)-amino-3(5)-methylpyrazole with aromatic aldehydes and 1,3-cyclohexanedione afforded mixtures of 3-methyl-4-aryl-2,4,6,7,8,9-hexa hydro-5H-pyrazolo[3,4-b]quinolin-5-ones and 2-methyl-9-aryl-5,6,7,9-tetrahydro pyrazolo[5,1-b]quinazolin-8(4H)-ones. The reaction of 3-aminopyrazolo-4-carbonitrile and ethyl 3-aminopyrazolo-4-carboxylate with aldehydes and cyclo hexanedione or dimedome is regioselective and leads to the formation of partially hydrogenated pyrazolo [5,1-b]quinazolin-8-one systems. In all compounds the dihydroazine ring exists in the enamine tautomeric form.     

Nitration of 1,3-dihydro-2<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>-imidazo[4,5-<Emphasis Type="Italic">b</Emphasis>]pyridin-2-one derivatives

Nitration of 1,3-dihydro-2H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-2-one and its N-methyl derivatives at 0–5°C and 60°C gives 5-nitro-and 5,6-dinitro-1,3-dihydro-2H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-2-ones, respectively. The latter can also be obtained by nitration of 5-mononitro derivatives under similar conditions. The nitration of 6-chloro-and 6-bromo-1,3-dihydro-2H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-2-ones and their N-methyl-substituted analogs leads to the formation of the corresponding 6-chloro(bromo)-5-nitro compounds. The same products are formed in the nitration of 5,6-dichloro-and 5,6-dibromo-1,3-dihydro-2H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-2-ones. In this case, the process involves replacement of the halogen atom in position 5 of the pyridine fragment by nitro group. The nitration of 6-bromo-5-methyl-1,3-dihydro-2H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-2-one is accompanied by oxidation of the 5-methyl group to carboxy.     

Preparation of 2-aminosubstituted 3H-imidazo[4,5-c]quinolin-4(5H)-ones by palladium-assisted internal biaryl coupling reaction

Representatives of the 3H-imidazo[4,5-c]quinolin-4(5H)-ones have shown interesting biological activity. We have found 2-aminosubstituted 3H-imidazo[4,5-c]quinolin-4(5H)-one as a potent dipeptidyl peptidase 4 inhibitor. However effective synthesis of this nucleus with various substituents at the 6-9-positions has not been reported. We report herein the development of a novel and efficient synthesis of 2-aminosubstituted 3H-imidazo[4,5-c]quinolin-4(5H)-ones by palladium-assisted internal biaryl coupling reaction. Our optimization of the reaction conditions revealed that the most important factors for this reaction are use of silver carbonate as a base and high reaction temperature.     

Fused pyrimidine systems: XIII. Synthesis and some transformations of 1,3-thiazolo(thiazino)-fused pyrido[3,4-d]pyrimidines

2-[Allyl(propargyl)sulfanyl]pyrido[3,4-d]pyrimidin-4-ones at heating in polyphosphoric acid undergo an intramolecular cyclization with the formation of pyrido[4,3-e]thiazolo-[3,2-a]pyrimidin-5-ones of angular structure. Under similar conditions the cyclization of 2-(cinnamylsulfanyl)pyrido[3,4-d]-pyrimidin-4-one results in a linear pyrido[3′,4′:4,5]pyrimido-[2,1-b][1,3]thiazin-6-one. The iodocyclization of the same substrates affords the corresponding 9-(iodomethyl)(iodomethylidene)pyrido[4,3-e][1,3]thiazolo-[3,2-a]pyrimidin-5-ones and 3-iodopyrido[3′,4′:4,5]pyrimido[2,1-b][1,3]thiazin-6-one of angular structure. 9-(Iodomethyl)-8,9-dihydro-5H-pyrido[4,3-e][1,3]thiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidin-5-one treated with sodium azide gave 9-(azidomethyl) derivative whose cyclization with substituted alkynes in the presence of copper compounds provided pyrido [4,3-e][1,3]thiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidinylmethyltriazoles.     

Pyrrolopyridazine nucleosides. The synthesis of certain 1-β-D-ribofuranosyl-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyridazin-4(5H)-ones

Nucleosides of pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyridazin-4(5H)-ones were prepared by the single-phase sodium salt glycosylation of appropriately functionalized pyrrole precursors. The glycosylation of the sodium salt of ethyl 4,5-dichloro-2-formyl-1H-pyrrole-3-carboxylate ( 4 ), or its azomethino derivative 7 , with 1-bromo-2,3,5-tri-O-benzoyl-D-ribofuranose in acetonitrile afforded the corresponding substituted pyrrole nucleosides ethyl 4,5-dichloro-2-formyl-1-(2,3,5-tri-O-benzoyl-β-D-ribofuranosyl)-1H-pyrrole-3-carboxylate ( 5 ) and ethyl 4,5-dichloro-2-phenylazomethino-1-(2,3,5-tri-O-benzoyl-β-D-ribofuranosyl)-1H-pyrrole-3-carboxylate ( 8 ), respectively. The latter, upon treatment with hydrazine, afforded the annulated product 2,3-dichloro-1-β-D-ribofuranosyl-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyridazin-4(5H)-one ( 6 ), in good yield. The unsubstituted analog 1-β-D-ribofuranosyl-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyridazin-4(5H)-one ( 9 ), was obtained upon catalytic dehalogenation of 6 . This report represents the first example of the synthesis of nucleosides of pyrrolopyridazines.     

Action of 1,2-diamines and o-aminophenols on 1-alkyl-3-carboxyindole-2-acetic acid anhydrides. Preparation of new ring systems

1-Alkyl-3-carboxyindole-2-acetic acid anhydrides (I) react with ethylenediamine and with o-phenylenediamine to give directly 10-alkylimidazo[3,2:1′,2′]pyrido[4,5-b]indol-5(1H)-ones (II) and 5,6-dihydro-5-alkyl-13H-indolo[2′,3′:4,5]pyrido[1,2-a]benzimidazol-13-one (V), respectively. However, anhydrides I react with o-aminophenol and with o-aminothiophenol to give carboxyindole-acetanilide derivatives IX, which can be cyclised to indolo[2′,3′:4,5]pyrido[2,1-b]benzoxazolone and indolo[2′,3′:4,5]pyrido[2,1-b]benzthiazolone (XI). Some derivatives of II and V were prepared to help in elucidating the structures.     

Novel fluoro-substituted benzo- and benzothieno fused pyrano[2,3-c]pyrazol-4(1H)-ones

A straightforward, two-step synthesis of fluoro substituted chromeno[2,3-c]pyrazol- and [1]benzothieno[2′,3′:5,6]pyrano[2,3-c]pyrazol-4(1H)-ones, respectively, is presented. Hence, treatment of 1-substituted or 1,3-disubstituted 2-pyrazolin-5-ones with fluoro substituted 2-fluorobenzoyl chlorides or 3-chloro-6-fluoro-1-benzothiophene-2-carbonyl chloride using calcium hydroxide in refluxing 1,4-dioxane gave the corresponding 4-aroylpyrazol-5-ols, which were cyclized into the fused ring systems. 5-Fluorochromeno[2,3-c]pyrazol-4(1H)-one was obtained upon treatment of the 1-(4-methoxybenzyl) protected congener with trifluoroacetic acid. Treatment of 5-fluorochromeno[2,3-c]pyrazol-4(1H)-ones with methylhydrazine afforded novel tetracyclic ring systems such as 2-methyl-7-phenyl-2,7-dihydropyrazolo[4′,3′:5,6]pyrano[4,3,2-cd]indazole. Detailed NMR spectroscopic investigations (¹H, ¹³C, ¹⁵N, ¹⁹F) with the obtained compounds were undertaken.     

Synthesis of some novel 2-phenylpyridazino[4,5-b][1,5]thiazepines

Synthesis of some derivatives of the pyridazino[4,5-b][1,5]thiazepine ring system is reported. Thus, 5-benzyl-8-methyl-2-phenyl-2,3.4,5-tetrahydro-5H-pyridazino[4,5-b][1,5]thiazepin-9(8H)-one ( 5 ) was prepared by an intramolecular S-alkylation reaction, whereas the thiazepine ring of sulfone analogue 21 , and that of the novel tricyclic pyrrolidino fused ring system 22 was elaborated by an intramolecular C-alkylation reaction. Unexpected formation of bicyclic pyrido- and thiazine fused pyridazine systems are also discussed.     

Nitrogen bridgehead compounds. Part 86. Synthesis and reactivity of 7,12-dihydropyrimido[1′,2′;1,2]pyrido[3,4-b]indol-4(6H)-ones. Debenzologues of rutaecarpine alkaloids

A series of 7,12-dihydropyrimido[1′2′:1,2]pyrido[3,4-b]mdole-4(6H)-ones was prepared by Fischer indolization of 9-arylhydrazono-6,7,8,9-tetrahydro-4H-pyrido[1,2-a]pyrirmdin-4-ones. Quantum chemical calculations (ab initio and AM1) indicate that position 3 of 7,12-dihydropyrimido[1′,2′:1,2]pyrido-[3,4-b]indole-4(6H)-one can be involved in electrophilic substitutions, while position 2 is sensitive towards nucleophilic attack. Bromination of 6-methyl-7,12-tetrahydropyrimido[1′,2′:1,2]pyrido-[3,4-b]indol-4(6H)-one 16 with bromine afforded 3-bromo derivative 25 , which was reacted with cyclic amines to give 2-ammo-7,12-dihydropyrirmdo[1′2′:1,2]pyrido[3,4-b]indol-4(6H)-ones 26–30 in an addition-elimination reaction. Vielsmeier-Haack formylation of compound 16 gave 12-formyl 31 and 3,12-diformyl 32 derivatives (an N-formyl-1-deaza derivative of nauclefidine alkaloid 34 ) at 60° and 100°, respectively. 3,12-Diformyl compound 32 was oxidized to 3-carboxyl derivative 33 with potassium permanganate. The quaternary salt 35 , obtained from compound 16 with dimethyl sulfate, suffered a ring opening on the action of aqueous sodium hydroxide. The new compounds have been characterized by elemental analyses uv, ¹H nmr and in some cases by ¹³C ruler, CD spectra and X-ray investigations.
