Synthesis of condensed structures from 3-cyano-2-pyridylacrylic acids

Ammonolysis of the methyl esters of trans--(3-cyano-2-pyridyl)acrylic (I) and trans--(6-methyl-3-cyano-2-pyridyl)acrylic (II) acids gave the amides of these acids. The addition of bromine, diazomethane, and hydrogen to the double bond of cis- and trans-acids I and II is described. Hydrogenation of the methyl esters of trans-acids I and II over Raneynickel at room temperature and atmospheric pressure occurs with intramolecular cyclization to two-ring lactams — 7-oxo-5, 6,8,9-tetrahydropyrid[3,2-c]azepine and 2-methyl-7-oxo-5,6,8,9-tetrahydropyrid[3,2-c]azepine. Under the conditons of acid hydrolysis of acids I and II the elements of water add to the nitrile group with intramolecular cyclization to give, respectively, 3-carboxymethyl-1-oxo-2,3-dihydrofuro [4,3-b]pyridine and 5-methyl-3-carboxymethyl-1-oxo-2,3-dihydrofuro[4,3-b]pyridine, whereas refluxing these acids with aqueous sodium hydroxide gives two-ring lactams — 3-carboxymethyl-1-oxo-2, 3-dihydropyrrolo[4,3-b]pyridine and its 5-methyl homolog. The structures of the compounds were confirmed by the UV, IR, PMR, and mass spectra.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 1, pp. 63–69, January, 1978.

A new type of isatin analog-2,3-dioxo-2,3-dihydro-4-methyl-6-chloro-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridine — was obtained by oxidation of 4-methyl-6-chloro-1H-pyrrolo(2,3-b]pyridine. Condensation of L-arabinose with 4-methyl-6-chloro-2,3-dihydropyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridine and subsequent acetylation and dehydrogenation gave 1-(2,3,4-tri-O-acetyl--L-arabinopyranosyl)-4-methyl-6-chloropyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridine, which served as the starting compound for the synthesis of 1--L-arabinopyranosyl-4-methyl-6-chloropyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridine. Oxidation of 1-(2,3,4-tri-O-acetyl-L-arabinopyranosyl)-4-methyl-6-chloropyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridine gave 1-(2,3.4-tri-O-acetyl--L-arabinopyranosyl)-2,3-dioxo-2,3-dihydro-4-methyl-6-chloropyrrolo [2,3-b]pyridine.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 8, pp. 1083–1086, August, 1977.

Furopyridines. V. A simple synthesis of furo[2,3-c]pyridine and its 2-and 3-methyl derivatives

A simple synthesis of furo[2,3-c]pyridine and its 2- and 3-methyl derivatives from ethyl 3-hydroxyisonicotinate ( 2 ) is described. The hydroxy ester 2 was O-alkylated with ethyl bromoacetate or ethyl 2-bromopropionate to give the diester 3a or 3b . Cyclization of compound 3a afforded ethyl 3-hydroxyfuro [2,3-c]pyridine-2-carboxylate ( 4 ) which was hydrolyzed and decarboxylated to give furo[2,3-c]pyridin-3(2H)-one ( 5a ). Cyclization of 3b gave the 2-methyl derivative 5b . Reduction of 5a and 5b with sodium borohydride yielded the corresponding hydroxy derivative 6a and 6b , respectively, which were dehydrated with phosphoric acid to give furo[2,3-c]pyridine ( 7a ) and its 2-methyl derivative 7b . 4-Acetylpyridin-3-ol ( 8 ) was O-alkylated with ethyl bromoacetate to give ethyl 2-(4-acetyl-3-pyridyloxy) acetate ( 9 ). Saponification of compound 9 , and the subsequent intramolecular Perkin reaction gave 3-methylfuro[2,3-c]pyridine ( 10 ). Cyclization of 9 with sodium ethoxide gave 3-methylfuro[2,3-c]pyridine-2-carboxylic acid, which in turn was decarboxylated to give compound 10 .

Oxidation of I with hydrogen peroxide afforded furo[3,2-c]pyridine 5-oxide (V) which was converted to I by phosphorus trichloride and to 4-chlorofuro[3,2-c]pyridine (VI) by phosphorus oxychloride.

Hydrolysis of ethyl 3-amino-4-aryl-cycloalka[e]thieno[2,3-b]pyridine-2-carboxylates ( 3a-d) gave the corresponding o-aminocarboxylic acids 4a-d . Heating the latter compounds ( 4a-d) with acetic anhydride furnished the oxazinone derivatives 5a-d which, in turn, underwent recyclization reaction to give the corresponding pyrimidinones 6a-d upon treatment with ammonium acetate in acetic acid. Reaction of 3-amino-4-aryl-cycloalka[e]thieno[2,3-b]pyridine-2-carboxamides ( 3f,h ) with triethyl orthoformate gave pyrimidinone derivatives 7a,b . Reaction of 3-amino-4-phenyl-cycloalka[e]thieno[2,3-b]pyridine-2-carboxamides 3e,h with aromatic aldehydes furnished tetrahydropyridothienopyrimidinones 8a-d . Chlorination of 7a,b and 6a-d by using phosphorous oxychloride produced 4-chlorocycloalka[5′,6′]pyrido[3′,2′:4,5]thieno[3,2-d]pyrimidine derivatives 9a-f which were used as key intermediates in the synthesis of several new cycloalkapyrido-thienopyrimidines 10a-f ˜ 14a-f .

A number of N- and O-alkyl derivatives were obtained by alkylation of these compounds. The tautomerism of 6-chloro- and 7-chloro-2,3-dihydrofuro [2,3-b]quinol-4-ones that are unsubstituted in the benzene ring was studied, and a dependence of the position of the tautomeric equilibrium on the solvent and the substituent in the benzene ring was established.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 3, pp. 376–381, March, 1984.     

Reaction of diketene with cyanothioacetamide: A convenient and regioselective method for the preparation of new 4(1H)-pyridone derivatives

The reaction of diketene with cyanothioacetamide in dry dioxane in the presence of triethylamine gives triethylammonium 3-cyano-6-methyl-4-oxo-1,4-dihydro-2-pyridinethiolate. The regioselective S-alkylation of this thiolate is a convenient method for the preparation of substituted 4(1H)-pyridones and also derivatives of thiazolo[3,2-a]pyridine and thieno[2,3-b]pyridine. The action of 2-amino-1,1,3-tricyanopropene on this thiolate leads to its transformation into a new heterocyclic system, namely, 5H-pyrido[2′,3′:4,5]thiopyrano[2,3-b]pyridine; treatment with iodine yields the oxidation product, namely, the corresponding bis(2-pyridyl) disulfide. The structure of isopropyl (3-cyano-6-methyl-4-oxo-1,4-dihydro-2-pyridinyl)thioacetate was confirmed by X-ray diffraction structural analysis. __________ Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 5, pp. 716–725, May, 2007.

Condensation of propanal with cyanothioacetamide and morpholine gave 3-cyano-4-ethyl-5-methyl-6-morpholino-2-piperidone, the structure of which was studied by X-ray analysis. Reaction of propanal with cyanothioacetamides and cycloalkanone enamines gave 3-cyano-4-ethyl-2,5,6,7-tetrahydropyrindin-2(1H)-one and 3-cyano-4-ethyl-5,6-hexamethylenepyridine-2(1H)-thione. The latter was used for the preparation of substituted 2-benzyloxycarbonylmethylthiopyridine and 3-amino-2-benzyloxycarbonylthieno[2,3-b]pyridine. __________ Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 7, pp. 1053–1059, July, 2005.

Microwave assisted synthesis and unusual coupling of some novel pyrido[3,2-f][1,4]thiazepines

3-Amino-3-thioxopropanamide (1) reacted with ethyl acetoacetate to form 6-hydroxy-4-methyl-2-thioxo-2,3-dihydropyridine-3-carboxamide (2), which reacted with α-haloketones 3 to produce 2,3-disubstituted-8-hydroxy-6-methyl-2H,5H-pyrido[3,2-f]-[1,4]thiazepin-5-ones 4a-c. Benzoylation of 4c led to the formation of the dibenzoate derivative 9. Compounds 4a-c could be prepared stepwise through the formation of S-alkylated derivatives 10a-c. Compounds 2, 4a-c, 9 and 10a-c were prepared using microwave as a source of heat, and gave better yields in shorter times than those achieved by traditional methods. Coupling of 4a-c with arenediazonium chlorides proceeded unusually to give the 6-hydroxy-4-methyl-2-(arylazo)thieno[2,3-b]pyridin-3(2H)-one ring contraction products 14.
