Reduction of Imidazo[4,5-c]pyridine and [1,2,3]Triazolo[4,5-c]pyridine Derivatives to Spinaceamines and 2-Azaspinaceamines

Reduction of 1-substituted [1,2,3]triazolo[4,5-c]pyridines with nickel-aluminum alloy in aqueous alkali gave 2-azaspinaceamines. Reduction of imidazo[4,5-c]pyridine and [1,2,3]triazolo[4,5-c]pyridine derivatives with formic acid in the presence of triethylamine resulted in formation of 5-formylspinaceamines and 2-azaspinaceamines. The 5-formyl group in the latter can be removed by acid hydrolysis. Unsubstituted 2-azaspinaceamine, an aza analog of natural spinaceamine, was synthesized for the first time.     

Pyrazoles as building blocks in heterocyclic synthesis: Synthesis of pyrazolo [3,4-d]pyrimidine, pyrazolo[3,4-e][1,4]diazepine, pyrazolo [3,4-d][1,2,3]triazine and pyrolo [4,3-e][1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-c]pyrimidine derivatives

Several new pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine, pyrazolo[3,4-e][1,4]diazepine, pyrazolo[3,4-d][1,2,3]triazine and pyrolo[4,3-e][1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-c]pyrimidine derivatives were prepared by the reaction of the corresponding 5-amino-pyrazole-4-carbonitrile derivative with different organic reagents under different reaction conditions. Using IR, ¹H NMR, and mass spectra we have characterized all new compounds.     

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.     

4,5-Diamino-1-phenyl-1,7-dihydro-6<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>-pyrazolo[3,4-<Emphasis Type="Italic">b</Emphasis>]pyridin-6-one in the synthesis of fused tricyclic systems

Starting from the substituted 4,5-diaminopyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridine, derivatives of a number of tricyclic systems, viz., imidazo[4,5-d]pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridine, pyrazolo[3,4-b][1,2,5]thiadiazolo[3,4-d]pyridine, pyrazolo[3,4-b][1,2,3]triazolo[4,5-d]pyridine, and [1,3]oxazolo[5,4-b]pyrazolo[4,3-e]pyridine, were synthesized and reaction schemes for the processes were proposed.     

New heterocyclic structures. [1,3]Thiazino[3,2-a]purine and [1,2,3]triazolo[4,5-d][1,3]thiazino[3,2-a]pyrimidine

Derivatives of two new molecular structures, namely, [1,3]thiazino[3,2-a]purine and [1,2,3]triazolo[4,5-d]-[1,3]thiazino[3,2-a]pyrimidine, were synthesized together with other heterocyclic compounds. Retrosynthetic analysis of their molecular skeletons suggested a simple way of obtaining 3,4-dihydro-7,8-diamino-2H,6H-pyrimido[2,1-b][1,3]thiazin-6-one, which is a useful intermediate for their synthesis. This intermediate and the thiazole homologue were obtained directly by reaction of 5,6-diamino-2,3-dihydro-2-thioxo-4(lH)-pyrimidi-none with 1,3- or 1,2-dibromoalkane, respectively.     

Ring Transformation of 7-Nitro-1-(4-nitrophenyl)-4,5-dihydro-1H-imidazo- and -[1,2,3]triazolo[4,5-c]pyridin-4-ones

Nitration of 1-phenyl-4,5-dihydroimidazo- and -1,2,3-triazolo[4,5-c]pyridin-4-ones initially occurs at the para position of the phenyl ring, and the subsequent nitration yields the corresponding 7-nitro-1-(4-nitrophenyl) derivatives. Treatment of the latter with hydrazine hydrate leads to formation of 1-(4-aminophenyl)-7-methyl-4,5-dihydroimidazo- and -1,2,3-triazolo[4,5-d]pyridazin-4-ones.     

Transformation of 3,4-bis(formylamino)pyridine into 4-nitro-1,2,3-triazolo[4,5-<Emphasis Type="Italic">c</Emphasis>]pyridine 2-oxide in the reaction with nitrating mixture

Treatment of 3,4-bis(formylamino)pyridine with a mixture of concentrated nitric and sulfuric acids unexpectedly afforded 4-nitro-1,2,3-triazolo[4,5-c]pyridine 2-oxide. Reduction of the latter with iron in acetic acid gave previously known 4-amino-1,2,3-triazolo[4,5-c]pyridine.Translated from Zhurnal Organicheskoi Khimii, Vol. 40, No. 10, 2004, pp. 1574–1575.Original Russian Text Copyright © 2004 by Yutilov, Smolyar.     

Synthesis of 9-alkyl-6-amino[1,2,4]triazolo[3,4-c]-5-azaquinoxalines. Mild and effective SNAr amination of highly electron-poor heterocycles

The synthesis and characterization of five different 9-alkyl-6-amino[1,2,3]triazolo[3,4-c]-5-azaquinoxalines is described. Due to the notable electrophilic character of the C-6 position of the [1,2,4]triazolo[3,4-c]-5-azaquinoxaline tricyclic system, S_NAr amination was achieved simply by reacting the corresponding 6-chloro derivative with ammonia-saturated acetonitrile (a non-nucleophilic polar solvent) in a sealed reaction vessel, using microwave-mediated or conventional heating.     

A new strategy for the synthesis of pyrazolo[4,3-e][1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-c]pyrimidines and pyrazolo[4,3-e][1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-c]pyrimidines

A series of pyrazolo[4,3-e][1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-c]pyrimidines were prepared via oxidative cyclization of aldehyde N-(1,3-diphenylpyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-4-yl)hydrazones. Dimroth rearrangement of such a series yielded pyrazolo[4,3-e][1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-c]pyrimidines.     

Synthesis and alkylation of pyrazolo[3,4-c]isoquinolines and hexahydrocyclohepta[d]pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridines

The condensation of 1-acyl-2-(morpholin-4-yl)cycloalkenes with 3-amino-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazol-5(4H)-ones gave the corresponding 2,3,6,7,8,9-hexahydropyrazolo[3,4-c]isoquinoline and 3,6,7,8,9,10-hexahydrocyclohepta[ d]pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridine derivatives. Alkylation of 2,3,6,7,8,9-hexahydropyrazolo[3,4-c]-isoquinolines with alkyl halides occurred at the nitrogen atom in the 3-position. The structure of 7-methyl-2,5-diphenyl-2,3,6,7,8,9-hexahydro-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-c]isoquinolin-1-one was proved by X-ray analysis.     

[1,2,3]Triazoloazine/(Diazomethyl)azine Valence Tautomers from 5-Azinyltetrazoles

[1,2,3]Triazoloazines are formed by thermolysis of 5-azinyltetrazoles in the gasphase or in solution. Thus, 5-(2-pyridyl)tetrazole ( 7 ) and 5-(2-pyrazinyl)tetrazole ( 11 ) yield [1,2,3]triazolo[1,5-a]pyridine ( 9 ) and [1,2,3]triazolo[1,5-a]pyrazine ( 13 ), respectively, at 400°/10^?3 - 10^?5 Torr. 5-(2-Phenyl-4-quinazolinyl)tetrazole ( 15 ) gives 5-phenyl[1,2,3]triazolo[1,5-c]quinazoline ( 17 ) in 75% yield by heating under reflux in mesitylene solution. 2-(Diazomethyl)pyridine ( 8 ), a valence tautomer of 9 , can be trapped by fumaronitrile, leading to 3-(2-pyridyl)-1, 2-cyclopropanedicarbonitrile ( 19 ). The [1,2,3]triazoloazines undergo base catalysed H/D-exchange in D₂O solution.     

New cascade reaction of azides with malononitrile dimer to polyfunctional [1,2,3]triazolo[4,5-b]pyridine

A new cascade reaction of azides with malononitrile dimer yielding polyfunctional [1,2,3]triazolo[4,5-b]pyridine was found. It was established that during the reaction of aryl azides with malononitrile dimer, under base catalysis, the formed intermediate triazole underwent spontaneous cyclization leading to the pyridine ring annulation. The obtained products have provided a new entry to [1,2,3]triazolo[4,5-b]pyridine.     

2-aryl(hetaryl)-4H-[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]benzimidazoles

2-(4-Methylphenyl)-4H-[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]benzimidazole and its previously unknown 2-(2-furyl)- and 2-(2-thienyl)-substituted analogs were synthesized by cyclization of benzimidazole-1,2-diamine with the corresponding carboxylic acid chlorides. The IR, ¹H, ¹³C, and ¹⁵N NMR, and mass spectra of the cyclization products in combination with the results of quantum-chemical calculations of NMR chemical shifts showed radical differences of [1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]benzimidazoles having no substituent on N⁴ from the recently reported low-melting products of oxidation of 2-amino-1-arylmethylideneaminobenzimidazoles with (diacetoxy-λ³-iodanyl)benzene, which, as we believe, were erroneously assigned analogous structure.     

Generation of oxodiazonium ions 1. Synthesis of [1,2,5]oxadiazolo[3,4-c]cinnoline 5-oxides

Methods for the synthesis of [1,2,5]oxadiazolo[3,4-c]cinnoline 5-oxides, which include the reaction of 3-nitramino-4-(R-phenyl)furazans or their O-methyl derivatives with electrophilic agents, have been developed. Unsubstituted [1,2,5]oxadiazolo[3,4-c]cinnoline 5-oxide was synthesized from 3-nitramino-4-phenylfurazan upon the action of phosphorus anhydride or oleum, as well as from O-methyl derivative of 3-nitramino-4-phenylfurazan upon the action of H₂SO₄, MeSO₃H, CF₃CO₂H and BF₃·Et₂O, while 6-, 7-, 8-, and 9-nitro-substituted [1,2,5]oxadiazolo[3,4-c]cinnoline 5-oxides — from the corresponding 3-nitramino-4-(nitrophenyl)furazans upon the action of the H₂SO₄-HNO₃ nitrating mixture. A suggestion has been made that an oxodiazonium ion is formed in these reactions from nitramines or their O-methyl derivatives upon the action of electrophilic agents, which is further involved into the intra-molecular reaction of electrophilic aromatic substitution (S _EAr) with the aryl group. The structure of [1,2,5]oxadiazolo[3,4-c]cinnoline 5-N-oxides was confirmed by ¹H, ¹³C, and ¹⁴N NMR spectra. Theoretical studies by the B3LYP/6-311G(d,p) method of combined molecular system (O-methylated 3-nitramino-4-phenylfurazan + [H₃SO₄]⁺) resulted in calculation of thermodynamic parameters of the sequence of cascade elementary reactions leading to the formation of [1,2,5]oxadiazolo[3,4-c]cinnoline 5-oxide.     

A novel tandem cyclization of condensed 2,3-dialkynylpyrazines into [1,2,3]triazolo[1′,5′;1,2]pyrido[3,4-b]pyrazines promoted by sodium azide

6,7-Dialkynyl-1,3-dimethylpteridine-2,4(1H,3H)-diones and 2,3-dialkynylquinoxalines have been shown to react with sodium azide in DMF at room temperature giving rise 9,11-dimethyl-[1,2,3]triazolo[1′,5′;1,2]pyrido[4,3-g]pteridine-8,10(9H,11H)-diones and [1,2,3]triazolo[1′,5′;1,2]pyrido[3,4-b]quinoxalines. A novel tandem cyclization involves 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of an azide ion to the carbon-carbon triple bond followed by intramolecular nucleophilic addition of the intermediate 1,2,3-triazole N-anion to another CC bond.

A behavior of [1,2,5]oxadiazolo[3,4-e][1,2,3,4]tetrazine 4,6-dioxide (1) in organic solvents and aqueous solutions of various acidity has been studied by UV spectrophotometry. Kinetic laws for the N,N′-dioxide 1 hydrolysis have been established and decomposition process constants at various temperatures in the media with pH 6.86 have been determined. A product of the reaction with water, viz., 5H-[1,2,3]triazolo[4,5-c][1,2,5]oxadiazole, has been isolated. 5-(tert-Butyl)-5H-[1,2,3]triazolo[4,5-c][1,2,5]oxadiazole has been synthesized as the model compound. Decomposition of N,N′-dioxide 1 occurs in basic media. Published in Russian in Izvestiya Akademii Nauk. Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 7, pp. 1358–1363, July, 2008.     

Synthesis and some properties of N-unsubstituted pyrrolo[2,1-c]-1,3-diazacycloalkano[1,2-a]pyrazinones

Reactions of methyl 2-(2-formyl-1H-pyrrol-1-yl)alkanoates with unsubstituted aliphatic 1,2-, 1,3-, and 1,4-diamines gave N-unsubstituted pyrrolo[2,1-c]-1,3-diazacycloalkano[1,2-a]-pyrazinones. Some of them show ring-chain tautomerism. Transformations of these compounds led to a number of novel heterocyclic systems: 2,10-dihydro-3H,5H-imidazo[1,2-a]-pyrrolo[1,2-d]pyrazines, 2,3,4,11-tetrahydro-6H-pyrrolo[1??,2??:4,5]pyrazino[1,2-a]pyrimidines, 1,2,3,5,6,10b-hexahydroimidazo[1,2-a]pyrrolo[2,1-c]pyrazines, 1,3,4,6,7,11b-hexahydro-2H-pyrrolo[2??,1??:3,4]pyrazino[1,2-a]pyrimidines, and 2,3,4,5,6,7-hexahydro-1H-pyrrolo[2,1-c]-[1,4,7]triazacycloundecin-8(9H)-one.     

The synthesis of novel polycyclic heterocyclic ring system via photocyclization. 18. Benzo[h]naphtho-[1′,2′:4,5]thieno[2,3-c]quinoline and benzo[h]naphtho-[1′,2′:4,5]thieno[2,3-c] [1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]quinoline

The synthesis of two previously unknown polycyclic ring systems, benzo[h]naphtho[1′2′:4,5]-thieno[2,3-c]quinoline ( 1 ) and benzo[h]naphtho[1′,2′:4,5]thieno[2,3-c][1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]quinoline ( 2 ), was achieved via oxidative photocyclization of 1-chloro-N-(1-naphthyl)naphtho[2,1-b]thiophene-2-carboxamide ( 5 ). The total assignment of their ¹H and ¹³C nmr spectra was determined by the concerted use of two-dimensional nmr methods.     

Alkylation of 1-hydroxy-1H-[1,2,3]triazolo[4,5-e][1,2,3,4]tetrazine 5,7-dioxide

Alkylation of 1-hydroxy-1H-[1,2,3]triazolo[4,5-e][1,2,3,4]tetrazine 5,7-dioxide 1 and its silver salt 10 with different alkylating agents (diazomethane, diazoacetone, bromoacetone, α-bromoacetophenone, methyl iodide, methyl vinyl ketone) was studied. Alkylation of compound 1 with diazo compounds and salt 10 with halocompounds results predominantly in O-alkylation products, 1-alkoxy-1H-[1,2,3]triazolo[4,5-e][1,2,3,4]tetrazine 5,7-dioxides. The Michael reaction of compound 1 with methyl vinyl ketone involves the triazole nitrogen atom to give 1-(3-oxobutyl)-1H-[1,2,3]triazolo[4,5-e][1,2,3,4]tetrazine 3,4,6-trioxide. The structures of the compounds synthesized were established by ¹H, ¹³C, ¹⁴N NMR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry.

Reduction of 4,7-diphenyl-1,2,5-thia- ( 1a-i ) and 1,2,5-oxadiazolo[3,4-c]pyridines ( 3a and c-e ) gave 3,4-diamino-2,5-diphenylpyridines ( 2a-g ), which were converted into the fluorescent triazolo[4,5-c]-( 5 ), 1,2,5-selenadiazolo[3,4-c]- ( 6 ), imidazolo[4,5-c]pyridines ( 8 ), and pyrido[5,6-c]pyridines ( 11 ). In the reduction of 3a, c and e , 4,5-dihydro[1,2,5]oxadiazolo[3,4-c]pyridines ( 4a-c ) were obtained.
