Reactions of 1,3-Dialkyl-5-amino-1,3-dihydro-2<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>-imidazo-[4,5-<Emphasis Type="Italic">b</Emphasis>]pyridin-2-ones with acetylacetone and ethyl acetoacetate

1,3-Dialkyl-5-amino-1,3-dihydro-2H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-2-ones reacted with acetylacetone to give the corresponding 4-(1,3-dialkyl-2-oxo-1,3-dihydro-2H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-5-ylamino)pent-3-en-2-ones which underwent intramolecular cyclization to 1,3-dialkyl-5,7-dimethyl-1,3-dihydro-2H-imidazo[4,5-b]-[1,8]naphthyridin-2-ones on heating in polyphosphoric acid or diphenyl ether. Analogous reaction of 1,3-dialkyl-5-amino-1,3-dihydro-2H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-2-ones with ethyl acetoacetate led to the formation of ethyl 3-(1,3-dialkyl-2-oxo-1,3-dihydro-2H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-5-ylamino)but-2-enoates whose cyclization afforded 1,3-dialkyl-8-hydroxy-7-methyl-1,3-dihydro-2H-imidazo[5,4-b][1,8]naphthyridin-2-ones.

Nitration of 2,3-dihydro-1H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-2-one gave its 5-nitro derivative which was subjected to alkylation with dimethyl sulfate, diethyl sulfate, and benzyl(dimethyl)phenylammonium chloride. The resulting 1,3-dimethyl-, 1,3-diethyl-, and 1,3-dibenzyl-5-nitro-2,3-dihydro-1H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-2-ones were reduced to the corresponding 1,3-dialkyl-5-amino-2,3-dihydro-1H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-2-ones, and the latter reacted with itaconic acid to produce 1-(1,3-dialkyl-2-oxo-2,3-dihydro-1H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-5-yl)-5-oxopyrrolidine-3-carboxylic acids. 1-(2-Oxo-2,3-dihydro-1H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-5-yl)-5-oxopyrrolidine-3-carboxylic acid was obtained by analogous reaction with 5-amino-2,3-dihydro-1H-imidazo[4,5-b]-pyridin-2-one.

Treatment of 5-amino-1,3-dialkyl-2,3-dihydro-1H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-2-ones with sodium nitrite in aqueous HCl gave 1,3-dialkyl-1H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridine-2,5(3H,4H)-diones which were nitrated with potassium nitrate in sulfuric acid to 6-nitro derivatives, and the latter underwent recyclization into 4-amino-1,3-dialkyl-5-(1H-pyrazol-5-yl)-2,3-dihydro-1H-imidazol-2-ones by the action of hydrazine hydrate.     

Synthesis and properties of cyanomethyl derivatives of imidazo[1,2-<Emphasis Type="Italic">a</Emphasis>]pyridine,imidazo[1,2-<Emphasis Type="Italic">a</Emphasis>]pyrimidine,and imidazo[2,1-<Emphasis Type="Italic">b</Emphasis>]thiazole

2-Cyanomethyl derivatives were obtained of imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine, imidazo[1,2-a]pyrimidine, and imidazo[2,1-b]thiazole, and their reactivity was investigated by an example of imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine: It was subjected to nitration, bromination, azo coupling and nitrosation. Acylation of the methylene group effected by amino acids esters with a subsequent addition of the amino group to the cyano group resulted in the formation of 5-amino-4-imidazo[1,2-a]-pyridin-2-yl-1-phenyl-1,2-dihydro-3H-pyrrol-3-one and 2-amino-1-ethyl-3-imidazol[1,2-a]pyridin-2-yl-4(1H)-quinolinone.     

Halogenation of Imidazo[4,5-<Emphasis Type="Italic">b</Emphasis>]pyridin-2-one Derivatives

Chlorination and bromination of 2,3-dihydro-1H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-2-one and its N-methyl-substituted derivatives in acetic acid at 90–95°C leads to formation of the corresponding 5,6-dichloro(dibromo)-2,3-dihydro-1H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-2-ones. Iodination of the same substrates with ICl under analogous conditions yields 6-iodo derivatives. Chlorination of 6-iodo-1,3-dimethyl-2,3-dihydro-1H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-2-one is accompanied by replacement of the iodine atom by chlorine with formation of 5,6-dichloro-1,3-dimethyl-2,3-dihydro-1H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-2-one. Bromination of 6-bromo- and 6-chloro-2,3-dihydro-1H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-2-ones gives 5,6-dibromo- and 5-bromo-6-chloro-2,3-dihydro-1H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-2-ones, respectively.__________Translated from Zhurnal Organicheskoi Khimii, Vol. 41, No. 4, 2005, pp. 586–589.Original Russian Text Copyright © 2005 by Yutilov, Lopatinskaya, Smolyar, Gres’ko.

2-(2-propynylsulfanyl)-5,6,7,8-tetrahydrobenzo[b]thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4(3H)-one with arylsulfenyl chlorides in chloroform gave products of anti-Markownikoff Ad _E-addition. The use of nitromethane as solvent in the presence of lithium perchlorate additives favored intramolecular electrophilic cyclization into 1-arylsulfanyl-1,2,6,7,8,9-hexahydro-4H-benzo[4,5]thieno[3,2-e][1,3]thiazolo[3,2-a]-pyrimidin-5-one.

Fused pyrimidine systems: XVI. Electrophilic intramolecular cyclization of 2-(alkenylsulfanyl)pteridin-4(3<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>)-ones

2-[Allyl(but-3-en-1-yl, pent-4-en-1-yl)sulfanyl]pteridin-4(3Н)-ones at heating in polyphosphoric acid undergo an intramolecular cyclization affording respectively 9-methyl-8,9-dihydro-5H-[1,3]thiazolo[3,2-a] pteridin-5-one and 10-methyl(ethyl)-9,10-dihydro-5Н,8Н-[1,3]thiazino[3,2-a]pteridin-5-ones of angular structure.
