Synthesis,Antibacterial, and Antifungal Activities of Imidazo[2,1-c][1,2,4]triazoles and 1,2,4-Triazolo[4,3-a]pyrimidinones

A straightforward method has been developed for the synthesis of 1-phenyl-imidazo [2,1-c][1,2,4]triazole derivatives 5a–j and 1-phenyl-[1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]pyrimidinones derivatives 6a–g starting from 5-amino-1-phenyl[1,2,4]triazole and p-toluenesulfonic acid (PTSA). This methodology affords a number of 1-phenyl-imidazo [2,1-c][1,2,4]triazoles 5a–j and 1-phenyl-[1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]pyrimidinones 6a–g in reasonable yields and short reaction times. The structures of all new compounds were elucidated using infrared, ¹H and ¹³C NMR, and high-resolution mass spectrometry. Some of the newly synthesized compounds were screened for their antimicrobial activity.

Regioselective Synthesis of 2-Substituted [1,2,4]Triazolo[5,1-b][1,3]thiazin-7-ones by Heteropolyacids

2-Substituted [1,2,4]triazolo[5,1-b][1,3]thiazin-7-ones 3 were synthesized via regioselective cyclization of 4H-[1,2,4]triazol-3-ylsulfanyl-acrylic acids 2 in the presence of catalytic amounts of heteropolyacids at room temperature in very good yields and rates.     

New approaches to synthesis of tris[1,2,4]triazolo[1,3,5]triazines

Thermal cyclization of 3-R-5-chloro-1,2,4-triazoles (R = Cl, Ph) afforded 2,6,10-tri-R- tris[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a:1′,5′c:1″,5″-e][1,3,5]triazines 5 (R = Ph) and 7 (R = Cl). These compounds are first representatives of this class of heterocycles, whose structures were unambiguously established. Treatment of these compounds with nucleophiles (H₂O/NaOH, NH₃) results in the triazine ring opening to give compounds consisting of three 1,2,4-triazole rings linked in a chain. For example, treatment of cyclic compound 5 with aqueous alkali affords 3-phenyl-1-3-phenyl-1-(3-phenyl-1H-1,2,4-triazol-5-yl)-1,2,4-triazol-5-yl-1H-1,2,4-triazol-5-one. Treatment of 3,7,11-triphenyltris[1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a:4′,3′c:4″,3″-e][1,3,5]triazine (2) with HCl/SbCl₅ leads to the triazine ring opening giving rise to 5-(3-chloro-5-phenyl-1,2,4-triazol-4-yl)-3-phenyl-4-(5-phenyl-1H-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)-1,2,4-triazole. Thermal cyclization of the latter produces 3,7,10-triphenyltris[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a:4′,3′c:4″,3″-e][1,3,5]triazine (13). Thermolysis of both cyclic compound 2 and cyclic compound 13 is accompanied by the Dimroth rearrangement to yield 3,6,10-triphenyl-tris[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a:1′, 5′-c:4″,3″-e][1,3,5]triazine (14). Compounds 13 and 14 are the first representatives of cyclic compounds with this skeleton. ¹³C NMR spectroscopy allows the determination of the isomer type in a series of tris[1,2,4]triazolo[1,3,5]triazines.__________Published in Russian in Izvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Synthesis and chemical transformations of partially hydrogenated [1,2,4]triazolo[5,1-b]quinazolines

The reaction of 5-methyl-7-phenyl-4,7-dihydro-1,2,4-triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine with α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds in MeOH in the presence of MeONa affords partially hydrogenated aryl-substituted [1,2,4]triazolo[5,1-b]quinazolines. Hydrolysis, oxidation, reduction, and alkylation of 5,6,8-triphenyl-5,6,7,10-tetrahydro[1,2,4]triazolo[5,1-b]quinazoline were studied. The structure of one oxidation product, viz., 7-hydroxy-5,6,8-triphenyl-6,7-dihydro[1,2,4]triazolo[5,1-b]quinazoline, was established by X-ray diffraction.

Water-Mediated Selective Synthesis of Pyrazolo[1,5-a]quinazolin-5(4H)-ones and [1,2,4]Triazolo[1,5-a]quinazolin-5(4H)-one via Copper-Catalyzed Cascade Reactions

A convenient and sustainable synthesis of pyrazolo[1,5-a]quinazolin-5(4H)-ones and [1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]quinazolin-5(4H)-one through copper-catalyzed cascade reactions of 2-bromobenzoates with 1H-pyrazol-5-amines or 1H-1,2,4-triazol-5-amine under ligand-free conditions in water is presented. It is notable that aqueous medium turned out to be crucial for the chemoselective formation of the title compounds. Compared with literature protocols, this new method showed advantages such as simple and sustainable procedure, commercially available starting materials, and convenient reuse of the reaction medium together with the copper catalyst.     

Synthesis of 8-tert-Butyl-9-oxo-1,2,4-triazolo[4,5-b]-1,2,4-triazolo[3,4-c]-1,2,4-triazine

8-tert-Butyl-9-oxo-1,2,4-triazolo[4,5-b]-1,2,4-triazolo[3,4-c]-1,2,4-triazine has been synthesized by the interaction of 6-tert-butyl-3-hydrazino-1,2,4-triazolo[3,4-c]-1,2,4-triazin-5-one with formic acid. The conditions of carrying out the reaction are discussed. Spectral characteristics are given.     

Synthesis of[1,2,4]Oxadiazolo[4,5-a]thiazolo[2,3-b]pyrimidin-9(10H)-ones via 1,3-Dipolar Cycloaddition of Nitrile Oxide to Thiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidin-3-one Derivatives

A new class of [1,2,4]oxadiazolo[4,5‐a]thiazolo[2,3‐b]pyrimidin‐9(10H)‐one was prepared in moderate yields by the reaction of nitrile oxide with 2‐arylmethylidene‐6,7‐dihydro‐5H‐thiazolo[3,2‐a]pyrimidin‐3‐one. The reaction site of dipolarphile is the C?N of thiazolo[3,2‐a]pyrimidin‐3‐one rather than the expected C?C of arylmethylidene. The structures of the products were characterized thoroughly by IR, elemental analysis, MS, and NMR analysis.     

Interaction of 7-Chloro-9-methylthio-3-phenylpyrimido[5,4-f][1,2,4]triazolo[3,4-b][1,3,4]thiadiazepine with Some Nucleophiles

The reactions of 7-chloro-9-methylthio-3-phenylpyrimido[5,4-f][1,2,4]triazolo[3,4-b][1,3,4]thiadiazepine (1) with some nucleophiles have been studied. Substitution of the chlorine atom with hydrogen occurs with ammonia in DMSO to give 9-methylthio-3-phenylpyrimido[5,4-f][1,2,4]triazolo[3,4-b][1,3,4]thiadiazepin-7(8H)-one. With a methanolic solution of ammonia the 7-methoxy derivative is formed. Reaction of compound 1 with an excess of sodium methoxide in methanol gave 6,7-dimethoxy-9-methylthio-3-phenyl-5,6-dihydropyrimido[5,4-f][1,2,4]triazolo[3,4-b][1,3,4]thiadiazepine. The corresponding 7-substituted derivatives were obtained when compound 1 was heated with morpholine or 2-(dimethylamino)ethylamine. The azomethine bond of the thiadiazepine ring is reduced by sodium borohydride to give the corresponding 5,6-dihydro derivatives.     

Reactions of Cyanomethanesulfonamides with Aldehydes and Synthesis of 2-Benzyl-2,3-dihydrobenzopyrano[3,2-e] [1,2,4]thiadiazine 1,1-Dioxides

Summary.  Reactions of cyanomethanesulfonamides with aromatic aldehydes in the presence of AcOH and piperidine produced the addition products, the 1-cyano-2-arylethenesulfonamides, whereas reactions with benzonitrile yielded the 2-amino-1-cyano-2-phenylethenesulfonamides only when done in THF with BuLi. No addition products were isolated from the analogue reactions with 2-hydroxybenzaldehyde (salicylaldehyde). Instead, we obtained 2-imino-2H-chromene-3-sulfonamides with good to excellent yields. These 2H-chromene derivatives allowed a number of transformations, from which the reactions with orthoformates opened an approach to the hitherto unknown benzopyrano[3,2-e] [1,2,4]thiadiazine ring system.     

2-R-7-methyl[1,2,4]triazolo[2,3-a]pyrimidines: synthesis and structures

Reactions of 5-R-3-amino-1,2,4-triazoles with ethoxymethylideneacetylacetone and ethyl ethoxymethylideneacetoacetate proceeded regioselectively, giving 2-R-7-methyl[1,2,4]triazolo[2,3-a]-pyrimidines in good yields. The compounds obtained were characterized by elemental analysis, ¹H NMR spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction analysis (for ethyl 2-ethylthio-7-methyl[1,2,4]triazolo[2,3-a]pyrimidine-6-carboxylate). The frontier orbitals, the molecular electrostatic potential, and the geometries of the reagent molecules were calculated by the DFT method (B3LYP/6-31G**).

Moreover triazolyl-N-N′-triazole derivatives were prepared from reaction of Schiff’s base with various hydrazonoyl halides. The structures of all the newly synthesized heterocyclic compounds were established by considering elemental analysis and spectral data.     

An Efficient and Convenient Synthesis of 2-Thio[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-c]quinazoline and its Derivatives

Summary. 4-Hydrazinoquinazoline with carbon disulfide underwent a recyclization reaction. The title compound 2-thio[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-c]quinazoline was obtained after treatment of 4-hydrazinoquinazoline with potassium ethylxanthogenate via a facile in situ Dimroth-like rearrangement of the expected [4,3-c] system. Its structure was established by X-ray diffraction study and confirmed by an independent synthesis, starting from o-aminobenzonitrile.     

Synthesis of Some Pyrazolo[3, 4]pyrimidine Derivatives for Biological Evaluation

Abstract

A novel β -enaminonitrile of 1-(6-p-tolyl-pyridazin-3-yl)-pyrazole derivative 2 was formed using (6-p-tolyl-pyridazin-3-yl)-hydrazine ( 1 ) and 2-ethoxymethylenemalononitrile. The β-enaminonitrile derivative 2 was in turn used as a precursor for the preparation of pyrazoles ( 4 , 6 ), pyrazolo[3, 4-d]-pyrimidines ( 3 , 7–12 ) and pyrazolo[4, 3-e][1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-c]pyrimidine ( 13 ). Also, N- and S-acyclic nucleosides 14 and 15 were prepared. Some of the prepared products showed potent antimicrobial activity.     

Synthesis and properties of [1,4]diazepino[6,5-b]indoles

1-Aryl-2-oxo-1,2,3,6-tetrahydro[1,4]diazepino[6,5-b]indole N-oxides were synthesized based on 3-(N"-aryl-N"-chloroacetyl)amino-2-formylindoles. Deoxidation of 2-oxo-1-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydro[1,4]diazepino[6,5-b]indole N-oxide afforded 1,2,3,6-tetrahydro- and 1,2,3,4,5,6-hexahydro[1,4]diazepino[6,5-b]indole derivatives. A new approach to the synthesis of pyrido[3,2-b]indole and pyrimido[5,4-b]indole derivatives was developed.

The products of the reaction of 2-aryl-5-R-5,6-dihydro-7H-[1,2,4]triazolo[5,1-b][1,3]thiazin-7-ones with aryl bromomethyl ketones are 2-aryl-7H-[1,2,4]triazolo[5,1-b][1,3]thiazin-7-ones and aryl methyl ketones or 2,5-diaryl[1,3]thiazolo[3,2-b][1,2,4]triazoles and 3-phenyl-2-propenoic acid, depending on the structure of R. The reaction of 2-aryl-5-R-5,6-dihydro-7H-[1,2,4]triazolo[5,1-b][1,3]thiazin-7-ones with benzyl bromide yields 5-aryl-3-benzylthio-4H-1,2,4-triazoles and 3-aryl-2-propenoyl bromide. __________ Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 6, pp. 905–909, June, 2005.

A new facile route for synthesis of 3-(aryl)-8,9-diphenylfuro[3,2-e][1,2,4]triazolo pyrimidines derivative from the same starting material, 2-amino-4,5-diphenylfuran-3-carbonitrile, has been developed through heterocyclization of the corresponding arylidene-hydrazono-5,6-diphenylfuro[2,3-d]pyrimidine and N-(arylmethylene)-4-imino-5,6-diphenylfuro[2,3-d]pyrimidin-3(4H)-amine under refluxing condition with acetic anhydride followed by air oxidation. The products were obtained in good yield with an easy workup along with the purification of products by a nonchromatographic method. This general synthetic procedure can be extended to the preparation of a wide range of isomeric triazoles using 2-amino 3-carbonitrile bifunctional derivatives.

Summary 6-Phenyl-1,3-dimethyl-2,4-dioxo-1,2,3,4,8,9-hexahydro-[1,3,5]-thiadiazepino-[3,2-f]-purine (5) was obtained by a three-step synthesis from 8-mercapto-1,3-dimethyl-3,7-dihydro-1H-purine-2,6-dione (1) and 2-(benzoylamino)-ethyl chloride (2)via 8-(benzoylaminoethylthio)-1,3-dimethyl-3,7-dihydro-1H-purine-2,6-dione (3) and its chloromido derivative4. The analogous 9-phenyl-1,3-dimethyl-2,4-dioxo-1,2,3,4,6,7-hexahydro-[1,3,6]-thiadiazepino-[3,2-f]-purine (7) was synthesized either from compound1 and N-(2-chloroethyl)-benzimido chloridevia N-(chloroethyl)-S-(1,3-dimethyl-2,4-dioxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-7H-purin-8-yl)-benzothioimide (6), or alternatively from 7-(2-benzoylaminoethyl)-8-bromo-1,3-dimethyl-3,7-dihydro-1H-purine-2,6-dione (9), its 8-mercapto derivative10 and the corresponding chloroimido compound11 being the intermediates.Part of this paper was presented as a preliminary report at the Congress of Czech and Slovak Chemical Societies, Olomouc, Czech Republic, September 13–16, 1993
