A straightforward synthesis of novel 4H‐thiazolo[3,2‐d][1,5]benzodiazepine derivatives

The novel 4H‐thiazolo[3,2‐d][1,5]benzodiazepinium salts have been synthesized in a single step by the reaction of the variously substituted 2,3,4,5‐tetrahydro‐1,5‐benzodiazepine‐2(1H)‐thiones and bromoacetaldehyde diethyl acetal. Cyclization is obviously influenced by the nature of the substituents in the benzodiazepine system. Theoretical modeling and B3LYP DFT computational studies are presented. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Synthesis of novel 1,3‐substituted 1H‐[1,2,4]‐triazole‐3‐thiol derivatives

By means of regioselective S‐alkylation of 1H‐1,2,4‐triazole‐3‐thiol ( 1 ), a series of S‐substituted derivatives 2a‐j were synthesized. In certain conditions, the reaction of 2 with arylsulfochlorides, arylisocyanates, and quaternary ammonium salts of azines corresponding compounds were obtained 1‐arylsulfonyl‐ (3a‐d) , 1‐arylcarbonamido‐ ( 4a,b ), and 1‐azinyl‐1,2,4‐ ( 6a‐p ) triazoles. Structures of compounds were confirmed by ¹H NMR and elemental analyses. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Synthesis of new functionalized imidazo[2,1‐b]thiazoles and thiazolo[3,2‐a]pyrimidines

5‐Oxo‐5H‐[1,3]thiazolo[3,2‐a]pyrimidine‐6‐carboxylic acid ( 4 ), and 6‐methylimidazo[2,1‐b]thiazole‐5‐carboxylic acid ( 17 ) were reacted with amines 6a‐i by the reaction with oxalyl chloride and N, N‐di methyl‐formamide as a catalyst into primary and secondary amide derivatives 7‐14 and 19‐22. From compound 24 N,N'‐disubstituted ureas 26, 27 and perhydroimidazo[1,5‐c]thiazole 29 derivatives of imidazo[2,1‐b]thiazole were prepared. By nmr analysis of compound 29 , the existence of two stereoisomers resulting from both optical, due to centre of chirality at C7′a, and conformational isomerism, due to restricted C5? N6′ bond rotation were proved.     

Synthesis of spiro thiazolo[3,2‐a]pyrimidine compounds by one‐pot sequential 1,3‐dipolar cycloadditions

A new class of spiro thiazolo[3,2‐a]pyrimidine compounds were synthesized by the one‐pot sequential 1,3‐dipolar cycloaddition of azomethine ylide (generated from isatin and sarcosine)–nitrile oxide to 2‐arylmethylidene‐6,7‐dihydro‐5H‐thiazolo[3,2‐a]pyrimidin‐3‐ones in moderate yields. The structures of all the products were characterized thoroughly by NMR, MS, IR, elemental analysis, and NMR together with X‐ray crystallographic analysis. J. Heterocyclic Chem., (2011).

Synthesis of 5H-[1,3]thiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidin-5-one derivatives

The reaction of 2-aminothiazoles with ethyl acetoacetate in acetic or polyphosphoric acid gave a series of 5H-[1,3]thiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidin-5-one derivatives which were nitrated with a mixture of nitric and sulfuric acid to 6-nitro-5H-[1,3]thiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidin-5-ones, and the latter were reduced to the corresponding amines.     

Cationic and mesoionic 1,3‐thiazolo‐[3,2‐c]quinazoline derivatives

4‐Allylthio‐2‐arylquinazolines 4a–c undergo cyclization by action of bromine to furnish 5‐aryl‐3‐bromomethyl‐2,3‐dihydrothiazolo[3,2‐c]quinazolin‐4‐ium bromides 5a–c . Compounds 5a–c undergo ring opening by action of water under acid catalysis to afford the corresponding dibromide derivatives 6a–c . Bromination of 3‐allyl‐2‐aryl‐4(3H)quinazolinethiones 7a–c leads to 5‐aryl‐2‐bromomethyl‐2,3‐dihydrothiazolo[3,2‐c]quinazolin‐4‐ium bromides 8a–c . However, anhydro‐3‐hydroxy‐5‐aryl‐1,3‐thiazolo[3,2‐c]quinazolin‐4‐ium hydroxide 10a–c were prepared by the cyclodehydration of the corresponding thioglycolic acids 9a–c with Ac₂O. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Synthesis and properties of novel α‐(1,2,4‐triazolo[1,5‐a]pyrimidine‐2‐oxyl)phosphonate derivatives

In an attempt to discover novel compounds with high activity and low toxicity, a series of new phosphonate derivatives containing triazolo[1,5‐a]pyrimidine moieties have been designed and synthesized by a nucleophilic substitution between α‐hydroxyphosphonates and 2‐methanesulfonyl‐1,2,4‐triazolo[1,5‐a]pyrimidines.

Furopyridines. XXVI. Reactions of cyanopyridine derivatives of furo[2,3‐b]‐, ‐[3,2‐b]‐, ‐[2,3‐c]‐ and ‐[3,2‐c]pyridine

Bromination of α‐cyanopyridine derivatives of furopyridines 1a‐d gave the 2,3‐dibromo‐2,3‐dihydro compounds 2a‐d in excellent yields. Treatment of 2a‐d with sodium hydroxide in methanol yielded compounds formed through the dehydrobromination and solvolysis of the nitrile. N‐Oxidation of 1a and 1b gave N‐oxide in much poor yield, while 1c and 1d gave the N‐oxide 13c and 13d in good yields. The nucleophilic reactions (cyanation, chlorination and acetoxylatoin) of 13c through a Reissert‐Henze type reaction gave poor results, which would be caused by the strong electron withdrawing effect of the cyano group.     

Reactions of 4,7‐dihydro‐1,2,4‐triazolo[1,5‐a]pyrimidines with α,β‐unsaturated carbonyl compounds

The reaction of 5,7‐diphenyl‐4,7‐dihydro‐1,2,4‐triazolo[1,5‐a]pyrimidine ( 1 ) with α,β‐unsaturated carbonyl compounds 2a‐f led to the formation of the alkylated heterocycles 3a‐f (Figure 1). However, the reaction of 5‐methyl‐7‐phenyl‐4,7‐dihydro‐1,2,4‐triazolo[1,5‐a]pyrimidine ( 5 ) with 2a‐c yielded under the same conditions the triazolo[5,1‐b]quinazolines 6a‐c (Figure 3). In this case, the alkylation is followed by a cyclocondensation. The structure elucidation of the products is based on ir, ms, ¹H and ¹³C nmr measurements and on an X‐ray diffraction study.

An efficient one‐pot method for synthesis of new biologically active thiazolo[3,2‐a ]pyrimidine and thiazolo[2,3‐b ]quinazoline derivatives is described via reaction of pentachloropyridine with fused pyrimidine‐2(5H )‐thiones or quinazoline‐2(1H )‐thiones. These reactions were carried out in the presence of potassium carbonate as a base in acetonitrile as a solvent to produce products 3a – n in good‐to‐excellent yield. Pentachloropyridine is doubly electrophilic building blocks for the formation of ring annulated thiazolo[3,2‐a ]pyrimidine and thiazolo[2,3‐b ]quinazoline products.

The structures of the products were determined and characterized thoroughly by NMR, MS, IR, and elemental analysis. The results of experiment indicated that this 1,3‐dipolar cycloaddition proceeded with high stereoselectivity and regioselectivity. J. Heterocyclic Chem., (2011).

Treatment of thioles 6 withα,ω‐dibromoalkanes led to type 15, 16 and 17 isoquinolinium salts condensed with thiazole, thiazine and thiazepine rings. When 6 are reacted with dibromomethane (10) 11 type dimeric structures are obtained.
