Base-catalyzed hydrogen-deuterium exchange in some 5-substituted benzothiazoles and in thiazolo-[4,5-c]pyridine. effect of substituents and polar effects of the aza group

The rates of base-catalyzed hydrogen-deuterium exchange at C-2 in some 5-substituted benzothiazoles and in thiazolo[4,5-c]pyridine were studied. Transmission through the thiazole ring of the effects of substituents in the benzothiazoles and of the polar effects of the aza group in the thiazolopyridine, was assessed from these data.     

On the formation and reactivity of N(2),N(2′)-tetrasubstituted 2,4-diamino-5-(2-amino-4-thiazolyl)thiazoles

By the reaction of weak bases with N(2)-disubstituted 2-amino-4-thiazoliniminium chlorides 3, easily available by the reaction of thioureas 1 with α-chloroacetonitrile 2, N(2),N(2′)-persubstituted 2,4-diamino-5-(2-amino-4-thiazolyl)thiazoles 8 are formed. These new bis-thiazoles react, as exemplified with the dimorpholino derivative 8a, with different electrophilic reagent, such as phenyl isothiocyanate 9, 4-nitro-phenyldiazonium salt 11, or 4-dialkylaminobenzaldehydes 13 at their 5H-substituted thiazole moieties to give the corresponding thioanilides 10, azo compounds 12, and methine dyes 14, respectively. With sodium nitrite and the Vilsmeier reagent the thiazole 8a is transformed, via unstable intermediates, into the tricyclic 2,7-dimorpholinothiazolo[4,5-c]thiazolo[4,5-e]pyridazine 16 and 2,7-dimorpholinothiazolo[4,5-b]thiazolo[4,5-d]pyridine 19, respectively.     

Nitrogen-bridged heterocycles via cycloaddition of non-classical heterocyclic-fused-[c]thiazoles

The [4π+2π] cycloaddition of non-classical heterocyclic-fused-[c]thiazoles was explored allowing the synthesis of a range of new nitrogen-bridged bi-, tri- and tetracyclic heterocyclic compounds namely, pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyridines, thiazolo[2,3,4-cd]pyrrolizines and indolizines. For the first time, one non-classical pyrrolo[1,2-c]thiazole was isolated and its structure determined by X-ray crystallography.     

Palladium-catalyzed reductive N-heterocyclization of alkenyl-substituted nitroarenes as a viable method for the preparation of bicyclic pyrrolo-fused heteroaromatic compounds

Palladium-catalyzed, carbon monoxide-mediated reductive N-heterocyclization of nitro-heteroaromatic compounds having an alkene adjacent to the nitro-group affords bicyclic pyrrolo-fused heteroaromatic molecules. This type of reaction was used to prepare the fused bicyclo[3.3.0] ring-system: thieno[3,2-b]pyrrole, thieno[2,3-b]pyrrole, furo[2,3-b]pyrrole, pyrrolo[3,2-d]thiazole, and pyrrolo[2,3-d]imidazole and the bicyclo[4.3.0] ring-systems: pyrrolo[3,2-b]pyridine, pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridine, pyrrolo[3,2-c]pyridine, pyrrolo[2,3-c]pyridine, pyrrolo[3,2-c]pyridazine, and pyrrolo[3,2-d]pyrimidine in 32-94% yield.

A rapid access to indolo[2,1-a]pyrrolo[4′,3′:4,5]pyrano[5,6-c]coumarin/[6,5-c]chromone derivatives by domino Knoevenagal intramolecular hetero Diels-Alder reactions

Knoevenagal condensation of indole-2-carbaldehyde containing an internal dienophile with coumarins, followed by domino intramolecular hetero Diels-Alder reaction, provides polycyclic heterocycles. Different approaches for stereo- and chemoselective synthesis of indolo[2,1-a]pyrrolo[4′,3′:4,5]pyrano[5,6-c]coumarin and indolo[2,1-a]pyrrolo[4′,3′:4,5]pyrano[6,5-c]chromone derivatives are described.     

The synthesis of imidazo[4,5-c] - and v-triazolo[4,5-c] pyridazines

The parent imidazo[4,5-c]pyridazine (IV) has been prepared for the first time by three different routes. 1-Methylimidazo[4,5-c]pyridazine (XX) and 3-methylimidazo[4,5-c]pyridazine (XXVII) have been prepared by unequivocal syntheses. The constitution of the methylation product of imidazo[4,5-c]pyridazine-2-thiol (VIII) has been shown to be 2-methylthioimidazo[4,5-c]-pyridazine (IX) by the unequivocal syntheses of 1-methylimidazo[4,5-c]pyridazine-2-thiol (XXIII) and 3-methylimidazo[4,5-c]pyridazine-2-thiol (XXXIII). Likewise, the structure of the methylation product (XIII) was shown to be S-methylation by the unequivocal syntheses of 1-methyl-2-methylthio-6-chloroimidazo[4,5-c]pyridazine (XXIV) and 3-methyl-2-methylthio-6-chloroimidazo[4,5-c]pyridazine (XXXI), respectively. Several 7-substituted amino-v-triazolo-[4,5-c]pyridazines (XXXVIII) have been prepared from 7-chloro-v-triazolo[4,5-c]pyridazine (XXXVII).     

Synthesis of 7-oxindolylidene-3a,9a-diphenylimidazothiazolo[2,3-c][1,2,4]triazines by skeletal rearrangement of their [3,2-b]-fused isomers

Previously unavailable 7-oxindolylidene-1,3-dimethyl-3a,9adiphenylimidazo[4,5-e]thiazolo[2,3-c][1,2,4]triazines were obtained in 63–90% yields by skeletal amidine rearrangement of the thiazolo-triazine system in the corresponding imidazo[4,5-e]thiazolo[3,2-b][1,2,4]triazines on treatment with sodium methoxide.     

Synthesis of derivatives of pyrido[3′,2′:4,5]furo[3,2-c]isoquinoline heterocyclic system

An approach to the synthesis of derivatives of new heterocyclic system, pyrido[3′,2′:4,5]-furo[3,2-c]isoquinoline, was suggested. A condensation reaction of substituted 3-cyanopyridin-2(1H)-ones with methyl 2-(chloromethyl)benzoate and subsequent treatment of the condensation product with potassium tert-butoxide leads to substituted pyrido[3′,2′:4,5]furo[3,2-c]-isoquinolin-5(6H)-ones. Similarly, a condensation reaction of substituted 3-cyanopyridin-2(1H)-ones with 2-(chloromethyl)benzonitrile and subsequent treatment of the condensation product with potassium tert-butoxide gives substituted 5-aminopyrido[3′,2′:4,5]furo[3,2-c]-isoquinolines.

The syntheses of the potential heterocyclic amine food mutagens, 3,5,7-trimethyl-2-aminoimidazo-[4,5-b]pyridine, 1,4,7-trimethyl-2-aminoimidazo[4,5-c]pyridine, 1,6,7-trimethyl-2-aminoimidazo[4,5-c]-pyridine, 3,4,6-trimethyl-2-aminoimidazo[4,5-c]pyridine, and 1,4,6-trimethyl-7-aminoimidazo[4,5-c]-pyridine are described.     

Diastereoselective synthesis of cis-fused pyrano[4,5-c]pyrrole derivatives via microwave-accelerated intramolecular Knoevenagal hetero Diels–Alder reaction

The synthesis of enantiomerically pure pyrano[4,5-c]pyrroles has been accomplished by the intramolecular hetero Diels–Alder reaction of enantiomerically pure N-allyltetheredalkenyl aldehydes with various 1,3-diones. The reaction led to the formation of cis-fused enantiomerically pure pyrano[4,5-c]pyrroles in excellent yield under mild conditions and the products were characterized by spectroscopic data.     

Synthesis of quaternary 3-(1,3-dioxo-1H-isoindol-2-ylmethyl)-5,6-dihydroimidazo[2,1-b]thiazolium salts

The reaction of dihydroimidazole-2-thiol with N-(3-chloro-2-oxopropyl)phthalimide gave 2-[3-(4,5-dihydroimidazol-2-ylsulfanyl)-2-oxopropyl]-1,3-dioxo-1H-isoindole which underwent intramolecular heterocyclization to dihydroimidazothiazole system by the action of a dehydrating agent. Treatment of 3-(1,3-dioxo-1H-isoindol-2-ylmethyl)-5,6-dihydroimidazo[2,1-b]thiazole with concentrated hydrochloric acid led to the formation of dihydroimidazo[2,1-b]thiazol-3-ylmethanamine. Water-soluble quaternary 3-(1,3-dioxo-1H-isoindol-2-ylmethyl)-5,6-dihydroimidazo[2,1-b]thiazolium salts were obtained by alkylation of 3-(1,3-dioxo-1H-isoindol-2-ylmethyl)-5,6-dihydroimidazo[2,1-b]thiazole with alkyl halides.     

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.     

Cycloalkano[1″,2″:4,5;4″,3″:4′,5′]bis(pyrrolo[2,3-c]pyrimido[5,4-e]pyridazines): synthesis, structure and mechanism of their formation

Reactions of 3-alkylamino-6,8-dimethylpyrimido[4,5-c]pyridazine-5,7(6H,8H)-diones with cyclohexyl- and cycloheptylamines in the presence of AgPy₂MnO₄ produce novel cycloalkano[1″,2″:4,5;4″,3″:4′,5′]bis(pyrrolo[2,3-c]pyrimido[5,4-e]pyridazines). Detailed information concerning the scope and mechanism of these transformations is discussed.     

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.     

Reactivity of sarcosine and 1,3-thiazolidine-4-carboxylic acid towards salicylaldehyde-derived alkynes and allenes

The reaction of sarcosine and 1,3-thiazolidine-4-carboxylic acid with salicylaldehyde-derived alkynes and allenes opened the way to new chromeno[4,3-b]pyrrole and chromeno[2,3-b]pyrrole derivatives. Tetrahydro-chromeno[4,3-b]pyrroles were obtained from the reaction of these secondary amino acids with O-propargylsalicylaldehyde. Interestingly, sarcosine reacted with ethyl 4-(2-formylphenoxy)but-2-ynoate to give a monocyclic pyrrole resulting from rearrangement of the initially formed 1,3-dipolar cycloadduct. Decarboxylative condensation of ethyl 4-(2-formylphenoxy)but-2-ynoate with 1,3-thiazolidine-4-carboxylic acid afforded in a stereoselective fashion the expected chromeno-pyrrolo[1,2-c]thiazole, which structure was unambiguously established by X-ray crystallography. However, the 1H,3H-pyrrolo[1,2-c]thiazole resulting from the opening of the pyran ring was also isolated. The reaction with O-buta-2,3-dienyl salicylaldehyde afforded 3-methylene-hexahydrochromeno[4,3-b]pyrrole. O-Allenyl salicylaldehyde reacted with sarcosine and 1,3-thiazolidine-4-carboxylic acid to give a new type of chromeno-pyrroles. A mechanism proposal for the synthesis of these chromeno[2,3-b]pyrroles has been presented.     

Reaction of 3-aminoquinoline-2,4-diones with nitrourea. Synthetic route to novel 3-ureidoquinoline-2,4-diones and imidazo[4,5-c]quinoline-2,4-diones

1-Unsubstituted 3-alkyl/aryl-3-amino-1H,3H-quinoline-2,4-diones react with 1-substituted and 1,1-disubstituted ureas in boiling acetic acid to give 2,6-dihydro-imidazo[1,5-c]quinazoline-3,5-diones. In contrast, the reaction of these amines with nitrourea in dioxane affords novel 3-alkyl/aryl-3-ureido-1H,3H-quinoline-2,4-diones or 9b-hydroxy-3a-alkyl/aryl-3,3a,5,9b-tetrahydro-1H-imidazo[4,5-c]quinoline-2,4-diones, which can smoothly be dehydrated to 3a-alkyl/aryl-3,3a-dihydro-5H-imidazo[4,5-c]quinoline-2,4-diones. All three types of products can be converted to 2,6-dihydro-imidazo[1,5-c]quinazoline-3,5-diones by refluxing in acetic acid.     

Synthesis of 1-benzyl-8,9-dihydroimidazo[4,5-c]pyrrolo[3,2-g]quinolin-4(5H)-one via palladium-catalyzed intramolecular arylation

The synthesis of a novel tetracyclic structure, 8,9-dihydroimidazo[4,5-c]pyrrolo[3,2-g]quinolin-4(5H)-one, has been achieved by a convergent pathway. Coupling of the weakly nucleophilic hindered aromatic amine with 1-benzylimidazole-4-carboxylic acid, 7, afforded the corresponding amide 9 using a DCP/DMF complex; subsequent Heck-type arylation leading to desired tetracyclic molecule imidazo[4,5-c]-pyrrolo[3,2-g]quinolin-4(5H)-one.     

Reaction of 3,4,4,5-tetrachloro-4H-1,2,6-thiadiazine with benzyltriethylammonium chloride

3,4,4,5-Tetrachloro-4H-1,2,6-thiadiazine was reacted with BnEt₃NCl (10?mol%) to give perchloro-9-thia-1,5,8,10-tetraazaspiro[5.5]undeca-1,4,7,10-tetraene (up to 18% yield), 4,5,6-trichloropyrimidine-2-carbonitrile (up to 44% yield) and four minor side products: 2,7-dichlorothiazolo[5,4-d]pyrimidine-5-carbonitrile, 2-(4-chloro-6H-thiazolo[5,4-c][1,2,6]thia-diazin-6-ylidene)malononitrile, 4,8-dichloropyrrolo[2′,1′:2,3]imidazo[4,5-c][1,2,6]thiadiazine-6,7-dicarbonitrile and 4,7-dichloro-[1,2,6]thiadiazino[3,4-b]thiazolo[5,4-e][1,4]diazepin-9(10H)-one. Single crystal X-ray studies support the structures of the minor products. Tentative rationale for the formation of these minor products and the synthesis of 8-bromo-4-chloropyrrolo[2′,1′:2,3]imidazo[4,5-c][1,2,6]thiadiazine-6,7-dicarbonitrile are presented.
