1-[4-Aminoarylpyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridin-5-yl]pyridinium chlorides undergo cyclization under reflux in tert-butanol in the presence of an excess of potassium tert-butoxide to form tetracyclic derivatives of pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyrido[1′,2′:1,2]imidazo[4,5-d]pyridine. The reaction scheme of the processes is proposed. The structures of the reaction products were confirmed by physicochemical methods. Published in Russian in Izvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Pyrrolopyrimidines. 5. Reaction of 6-Amino-1,3-dimethylpyrrolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine-2,4(1H,3H)-diones with 1,3-Diketones

The reaction of 6-amino-1,3-dimethylpyrrolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine-2,4-dione with 1,3-diketones leads to formation of predominantly pyrimido[4',5':3,4]pyrrolo[1,2-b]pyridazine-2,4(1H,3H)-diones and, to a lesser extent, pyrimido[5',4':3,4]pyrrolo[1,2-b]pyridazine-1,3(2H,4H)-diones. The ease and direction of the cyclization reaction suggests a very -electron rich pyrrole ring in the initial state, especially in the position 7.     

Purines, pyrimidines, and related fused systems. 21. Oxidative amination of 3-chloro-6,8-dimethylpyrimido[4,5-c]pyridazine-5,7(6H,8H)-dione

Oxidative amination of 3-chloro-6,8-dimethylpyrimido[4,5-c]pyridazine-5,7(6H,8H)-dione with primary alkylamines and potassium amide in liquid ammonia gives rise to the corresponding 4-amino derivatives as the major products. The reactions with acyclic secondary amines are accompanied by annelation of the pyrrole moiety to the starting heterosystem to form 1-R-3-R"-6,8-dimethylpyrrolo[2",3";3,4]pyrimido[4,5-c]pyridazine-7,9(6H,8H)-diones. The reaction with piperidine as the aminating agent occurs exclusively as aminodehalogenation. The Sonogashira cross-coupling of 4-amino-3-chloro-6,8-dimethylpyrimido[4,5-c]pyridazine-5,7(6H,8H)-diones with terminal alkynes affords 1-R-2-R"-6,8-dimethylpyrrolo[3",2";3,4]pyrimido[4,5-c]pyridazine-7,9(6H,8H)-diones.     

Cycloalkano[1″,2″:4,5;4″,3″:4′,5′]bis(pyrrolo[2,3-c]pyrimido[5,4-e]pyridazines): synthesis, structure and mechanism of their formation

Reactions of 3-alkylamino-6,8-dimethylpyrimido[4,5-c]pyridazine-5,7(6H,8H)-diones with cyclohexyl- and cycloheptylamines in the presence of AgPy₂MnO₄ produce novel cycloalkano[1″,2″:4,5;4″,3″:4′,5′]bis(pyrrolo[2,3-c]pyrimido[5,4-e]pyridazines). Detailed information concerning the scope and mechanism of these transformations is discussed.

Sonogashira cross-coupling of 3-chloro-6,8-dimethylpyrimido[4,5-c]pyridazine-5,7(6H,8H)-dione with terminal alkynes afforded the corresponding 3-(alkyn-1-yl) derivatives. Oxidative amination of the latter compounds with primary alkylamines was accompanied by heterocyclization to give 6,8-dimethylpyrrolo[3",2":3,4]pyrimido[4,5-c]pyridazine-7,9(6H,8H)-diones.     

A facile synthesis of pyrrolo[1,2-a]benzimidazoles and pyrazolo[3,4:4′,3′]pyrrolo[1,2-a]benzimidazole derivatives

Reaction of 2-cyanomethylbenzimidazole 1 with hydrazonoyl halides 2 led to formation of pyrrolo[1,2-a]benzimidazole derivatives 7. Similar reaction of 1 with halides 3 afforded 5-amino-4-(benzimidazol-2-yl)pyrazole derivatives 11 or 1-amino-2-arylpyrazolo[3,4:4′,3′]pyrrolo[1,2-a]benzimidazol-4-one 14 depending on the reaction conditions.

Novel heterocyclic systems based on 8-R-4,5-dihydro-4,4-dimethyl-[1,2]dithiolo[3,4-c]quinoline-1-thiones

Based on the reaction of 8-R-4,5-dihydro-4,4-dimethyl[1,2]dithiolo[3,4-c]quinoline-1-thiones with oxalyl chloride followed by the reactions of 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition and diene synthesis with participation of acetylenedicarboxylic acid dimethyl ester, we have developed approaches to synthesis of novel polycondensed heterocyclic systems: [1,2]dithiolo[3,4-c]pyrrolo[3,2,1-ij]quinoline-4,5-dione, 6-(1,3-dithiol-2-ylidene)-1,2-dioxo-5-thioxo-7H-pyrrolo[3,2,1-ij]quinoline and 4,5-dioxospiro(pyrrolo)-[3,2,1-ij]thiopyrano[2,3-c]quinoline-11,2′-[1,3]dithiole. __________ Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 4, pp. 610–615, April, 2006.     

Acylation of 3,4-Dihydropyrrolo[1,2-a]pyrazines

The direction of trifluoroacetylation with trifluoroacetic anhydride of 3,4-dihydropyrrolo[1,2-a]pyrazines containing an alkyl or aralkyl substituent in position 1 depends on both the structure of the 3,4-dihydropyrrolo[1,2-a]pyrazine starting materials and on the ratio of reagent:substrate. It may lead to both mono- and disubstituted products. Trifluoroacetylation of 1-methyl-3,4-dihydropyrrolo[1,2-a]pyrazines occurs at the methyl group. Acetylation of 3,4-dihydropyrrolo[1,2-a]pyrazines leads only to N-acetyl-substituted reaction products.

The reactions of methyl α-(2-formyl-1H-pyrrol-1-yl)carboxylates with N-substituted aliphatic 1,2-, 1,3-, and 1,4-diamines afford new pyrrole-containing heterocyclic systems: 1,2,3,10b-tetrahydroimidazo[1,2-a]pyrrolo[2,1-c]pyrazin-5(6H)-ones, 1,3,4,11b-tetrahydro-2H-pyrrolo[2′,1′:3,4]pyrazino[1,2-a]pyrimidin-6(7H)-ones, and 1,2,3,4,5,12b-hexahydro-pyrrolo[2′,1′:3,4]pyrazino[1,2-a][1,3]diazepin-7(8H)-ones. The reduction of these compounds with different reagents was studied.

Formylation of 3,4-dihydropyrrolo[1,2-a]pyrazines containing alkyl or aryl substituents at position 1 has been studied under the conditions of the Vilsmeier reaction. The direction of the reaction depends on the structure of 3,4-dihydropyrrolo[1,2-a]pyrazine starting materials. Formylation of 1-methyl-substituted 3,4-dihydropyrrolo[1,2-a]pyrazines occurs at the methyl group.

A method has been developed for the synthesis of 4-(2-quinolinyl)-1,2,3,3a-tetrahydropyrrolo-[1,2-a]quinolines based on the 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction of α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds to 2,3′-biquinolinium salts. Oxidation in benzene using MnO₂ gave 4-(2-quinolinyl)-pyrrolo[1,2-a]quinolines. It was found that a side product of the 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition is 7,14-di-benzoyl-6,13-di(2-quinolyl)-6a,7,13a,14-tetrahydro-7a,14a-diazadibenzo[a,h]anthracene. Reaction of 1′-phenacyl-2,3′-biquinolinium salts with hydroxylamine in acetic acid gave 4-(2-quinolyl)imidazo-[1,2-a]quinolines. *For Communication 24 see [1].

Heating mixtures of 2-(pyrrol-1-yl)benzaldehydes and aryl amines under argon afforded 9-arylamino-9H-pyrrolo[1,2-a]indoles, via cyclization of the resulting 2-(pyrrol-1-yl)benzaldimine intermediates. Heating in the presence of oxygen afforded (Z)-9-arylimino-9H-pyrrolo[1,2-a]indoles, which were successfully hydrolyzed with hydrochloric acid to give pyrrolo[1,2-a]indol-9-ones.     

Novel Synthesis of N-Arylpyrrole,Pyrrolo[1,2-a]quinazoline,and Pyrrolo[3,4-d]pyridazine Derivatives

Phenacyl-malononitrile derivatives 1a,b react with dimethyl formamide dimethyl acetal (DMFDMA) in refluxing toluene to afford the enaminones 2a,b respectively. Compounds 2a and 2b react with the aromatic amines (aniline, p-toluidine, p-anisidine) in refluxing ethanol to afford the pyrroles 4a–f and with anthranilonitrile and methyl anthranilate to afford the pyrrolo[1,2-a]quinazolines 5a,b and 6a,b respectively.

Synthesis and properties of 3-arylcyclohepta[4,5]imidazo[1,2-a]-1,3,5-triazine-2,4(3H)-diones and related compounds: photo-induced autorecycling oxidation of some amines

Novel 3-phenyl- and 3-(4-nitrophenyl)cyclohepta[4,5]imidazo[1,2-a]-1,3,5-triazine-2,4(3H)-diones and the corresponding imino derivatives 5a,b and 6a,b were synthesized in modest to moderate yields by the abnormal and normal aza-Wittig reaction of 2-(1,3-diazaazulen-2-ylimino)triphenylphosphorane with aryl isocyanates and subsequent heterocyclization reaction with a second isocyanate. The related cationic compound, 1-methyl-3-phenylcyclohepta[4,5]imidazo[1,2-a]-1,3,5-triazine-2,4(3H)-dionylium tetrafluoroborate 7a, was also prepared. The electrochemical reduction of these compounds exhibited more positive reduction potentials as compared with those of the related compounds of 3,10-disubstituted cyclohepta[4,5]pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidine-2,4(1H,3H)-dione systems. In a search of the oxidizing ability, compounds 5a, 6a, and 7a were demonstrated to oxidize some amines to give the corresponding imines in more than 100% yield under aerobic and photo-irradiation conditions, while even benzylamine was not oxidized under aerobic and thermal conditions at 100 °C. The oxidation reactions by cation 7a are more efficient than that by 5a and 6a. Quenching of the fluorescence of 5a was observed, and thus, the oxidation reaction by 5a probably proceeds via electron-transfer from amine to the excited singlet state of 5a. In the case of cation 7a, the oxidation reaction is proposed to proceed via formation of an amine-adduct of 7a and subsequent photo-induced radical cleavage reaction.     

Hydrolysis of 7,7-Substituted Derivatives of 3-tert-Butyl-3,4-dihydro-2H-thiazolo-[3,2-a][1,3,5]triazin-6(7H)-one

Alkaline hydrolysis of 3-tert-butyl-7,7-bis(hydroxymethyl)-3,4-dihydro-2H-thiazolo[3,2-a][1,3,5]-triazin-6(7H)-one can occur in three directions: with cleavage of the tetrahydrotriazine ring, with cleavage of the thiazolidine ring, and also with opening of both rings. Depending on the process conditions, either the hydrolysis product corresponding to the first direction or the hydrolytic decomposition products corresponding to the second and third directions can be obtained in preparative quantities. Hydrolysis of 3,3′-di-tert-butyl-3′,4′-dihydro-2′ H-spiro[(perhydro-1,3-oxazine)-5,7′-thiazolo[3,2-a][1,3,5]triazin]-6′-one in (NH₄)₂CO₃ solution occurs in two steps: in the first step, cleavage of the tetrahydrotriazine ring occurs; and in the second step, opening of the perhydrooxazine ring occurs. __________ Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 7, pp. 1089–1097, July, 2005.
