Functionalized sulfur-containing compounds. 13. Synthesis of substituted 3-amino-2-(organylsulfinyl)-and-(organylsulfonyl)thieno[2,3-b]pyridines

A method for the synthesis of substituted 3-amino-2-(organylsulfinyl)thieno[2,3-b]pyridines by the Thorpe—Ziegler intramolecular cyclization of substituted 3-cyano-2-[(organyl-sulfinyl)methylthio]pyridines was proposed. 3-Amino-2-(organylsulfonyl)thieno[2,3-b]pyridines were obtained by reactions of substituted 3-cyanopyridine-2-thiones with chloromethyl organyl sulfones. The reaction intermediates 3-cyano-2-[(organylsulfonyl)methylthio]pyridines were transformed into 3-amino-2-(organylsulfonyl)thieno[2,3-b]pyridines. Published in Russian in Izvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Polyfunctional pyridines from nitroacetamidine and β-diketones. A useful synthesis of substituted imidazo [4,5-b] pyridines and related compounds

Nitroacetamidine undergoes a useful cyclocondensation with β-diketones to produce substituted 2-amino-3-nitropyridines. Use of an acylpyruvate generates hitherto unreported 2-amino-3-nitropyridine-4-carboxylates. These may be converted easily to functionalized imidazo[4,5-b]pyridines and oxazolo-[5,4-b]pyridines.     

Reactions of 3-cyano-2-(methylthio)pyridines with butyllithium

1-Chloro-2-azapropenylium and 1-chloro-2,4-diazabutenylium salts. Intermediates for the synthesis of pyrido[1,2-a]-1,3,5-triazinium salts

The structure is established by X-ray crystallography. Various suitably substituted pyridines react similarly to afford the corresponding pyrido[1,2-a]-1,3,5-triazinium salts. The intermediates obtained from several secondary amides give identical products when treated with the same pyridines. The limitations of this procedure are investigated.

The structure elucidation of 4,5-dihydropyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridines 3 is based on nmr measurements and X-ray diffraction. The treatment of compounds 3 with N-bromosuccinimide led to the formation of pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridines 4 .

Certain 4-substituted 1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridines (7-azaindoles) undergo a nucleophilic substitution-rearrangement upon treatment with various primary amines at elevated temperatures to yield N-1-substituted 4-amino-1H-pyrrolo[3,2-c]pyridines (5-azaindoles). Treatment of the same 7-azaindoles with secondary amines under the same reaction conditions led to simple nucleophilic substitution products.     

4-(3-Cyanopyridin-2-ylthio)acetoacetates in synthesis of heterocycles

Substituted 2-amino-4-aryl-3-cyano-5-oxo-5,6-dihydro-4H-pyrano[2,3-d]pyrido[3",2":4,5]thieno[3,2-b]pyridines were synthesized by the reactions of 4-hydroxy-1H-thieno[2,3-b;4,5-b]dipyridin-2-ones with arylidenemalononitriles or by the three-component reactions of hydroxythienodipyridinones with aldehydes and malononitrile in DMF in the presence of triethylamine. Methods for syntheses of substituted 3-alkoxycarbonyl-6-amino-4-aryl-2-(3-cyanopyridin-2-ylthiomethyl)-4H-pyrans were developed on the basis of the reactions of 4-(3-cyanopyridin-2-ylthio)acetoacetates and arylidenemalononitriles or aldehydes and malononitrile. Ethyl 4-(3-cyanopyridin-2-ylthio)acetoacetate and 4-methoxybenzylidenecyanothioacetamide were used for the synthesis of 6-(pyridin-2-ylthiomethyl)-3-cyanopyridine-2(1H)-thione.     

Synthesis of 9-(trifluoromethyl)pyrido[1′,2′:1,2]-imidazo[4,5-b]quinoxalines

9-(Trifluoromethyl)pyrido[1′,2′:1,2]imidazo[4,5-b]quinoxalines (9-CF₃-PIQs) were obtained from the cyclization of 2-amino-3-chloro-6-(trifluoromethyl)quinoxaline ( 1a ) with some substituted pyridines. 3-[2-(4-Pyridyl)ethenyl]-9-CF₃-PIQ, one of thus obtained 9-CF₃-PIQs, cyclized with another molecule of 1a to produce the dihydro bis-PIQ-ethene derivative.     

Convenient synthesis and anticancer evaluation of novel pyrazolyl-thiophene,thieno[3,2-b]pyridine,pyrazolo[3,4-d]thieno[3,2-b]pyridine and pyrano[2,3-d]thieno[3,2-b]pyridine derivatives

The newly synthesized 3-(3-amino-5-(phenylamino)-4-(phenylcarbamoyl)thiophen-2-yl)-3-oxopropanoate was utilized as a precursor for the synthesis of pyrazolyl-thiophene derivative, which undergoes cyclization upon treatment with benzaldehyde derivatives to provide pyrazolo[3,4-d]thieno[3,2-b]pyridines. Basic treatment of pyrazolyl-thiophene derivative with phenyl isothiocyanate followed by subsequent addition of chloroacetone and/or ethyl bromoacetate yielded the thiazolylidene-pyrazolyl thiophenes. In addition, the building block 3-(3-amino-5-(phenylamino)-4-(phenylcarbamoyl)thiophen-2-yl)-3-oxopropanoate was converted into the corresponding thieno[3,2-b]pyridine compounds through its reactions with (DMF-DMA) and/or heating in sodium ethoxide. Moreover, the reaction of 7-hydroxy-5-oxo-N-phenyl-2-(phenylamino)-4,5-dihydrothieno[3,2-b]pyridine-3-carboxamide with 2-arylidenemalononitrile produced the new annulated pyrano[2,3-d]thieno[3,2-b]pyridines. The prepared thiophene-based compounds were evaluated against HepG2, PC3, and MCF-7 cancer cells, and normal fibroblast cell (WI38). The pyrazolo[3,4-d]thieno[3,2-b]pyridine and pyrano[2,3-d]thieno[3,2-b]pyridine compounds substituted with chlorophenyl group presented promising cytotoxic activities against HepG2 cancer cell line without any human toxicity. Docking study for the synthesized thiophene compounds delivered valuable insights about the binding interactions with the crystal structure of NS5B enzyme with PDB ID (4TLR).

Derivatives of a new heterocyclic system - benz[4,5]imidazo[1,2-c]pyrido[3',2';4,5]thieno[2,3-e]pyrimidine have been obtained by successive reactions in three stages - alkylation of 3-cyanopyridine-2(1H)-thiones with 2-chloromethylbenzylimidazole to give 2-benzimidazolylmethylthio-3-cyanopyridines, closing the thiophene ring in the latter to form 3-amino-2-(benzimidazolyl-2)thieno[2,3-b]pyridines, and cyclization of the pyrimidine ring by acylation with carboxylic acid anhydrides or chlorides.

A general method for the synthesis of 3-amino-2-(4,4-diphenyl-4H-3,1-benzoxazin-2-yl)thieno[2,3-b]pyridines was proposed. The method involves reactions of (3-cyanopyridin-2-ylthio)acetic acids or their amides with o-aminophenyl(diphenyl)carbinol in nitromethane in the presence of perchloric acid followed by neutralization of the resulting salts.__________Published in Russian in Izvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Synthesis of pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyridines and pyrazolo[1,5-c]pyrimidines by reaction of heterocyclic amidrazones with 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds

1,3-Dicarbonyl compounds 2 react with 1-amino-2(1H)-pyridin-2-imines or 1-amino-2(1H)-pyrimidin-2-imines 1 giving new pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyridines or pyrazolo[1,5-c]pyrimidines 5 respectively by addition, oxidation and condensation. Isolation of an intermediate 3 shows that surprisingly the addition of the CH acidic 1,3 -dicarbonyl compound to position 6 of the pyrimidine 1 is the initial step.
