3-Thioxo-2H-imidazo[1,5-b]isoquinoline-1,5-dione (3) and 2-sub-stituted 3-thioxo-2H-imidazo[1,5-b]isoquinoline-1,5-diones (4a–l) were prepared from the reaction of 2-thiohydantoin (2) and 3-substituted 2-thiohydantoin (5a–l) with 2-formyl benzoic acid (1). Alkylation of 3 under an anhydrous basic conditions afforded 4a–i. The alkylation of 3 in aqueous basic solution afforded 3-(alkylmercapto)imidazo[1,5-b]isoquinoline-1,5-diones (7a,b). Reactions of the aromatic amino acids 9a,b and 12 with 7a afforded 2-(2H-1,5 dioxoimidazo[1,5-b]isoquinazolin-3-ylideneamino)benzoic acids (10a, b) and 3-(2H-1,5-dioxoimidazo[1,5-b]isoquinazolin-3-ylideneamino)2-naphthalenecarboxylic acid (13), which were then cyclyzed by heating in acetic anhydride to afford 15H-isoquino[2′,3′ :3,4] imidazo[2,1-b]quinazoline-7,13,15-triones (11a,b) and 14H-isoquino[2′,3′:3,4]imidazo[2,1-b]benzo[g]quinazoline-8,14,16-trione (14). Some of the new compounds were tested for their antitumor activities.     

Pyridine-2(1H)-thione in Heterocyclic Synthesis: Synthesis of Some New Nicotinic Acid Ester,Thieno[2, 3-b]pyridine,Pyrido[3′, 2′: 4, 5]thieno [3, 2-d]pyrimidine,and Thiazolylpyrazolo[3, 4-b]pyridine Derivatives

Nicotinic acid esters 3a–c were prepared by the reaction of pyridine-2(1H)-thione derivative 1 with α-halo-reagents 2a–c. Compounds 3a–c underwent cyclization to the corresponding thieno[2, 3-b]pyridines 4a–c via boiling in ethanol/piperidine solution. Compounds 4a–c condensed with dimethylformamide-dimethylacetal (DMF-DMA) to afford 3-{[(N,N-dimethylamino)methylene]amino}thieno[2, 3-b]- pyridine derivatives 6a–c. Moreover, compounds 4a–c and 6a–c reacted with different reagents and afforded the pyrido[3′,2′:4, 5]thieno[3, 2-d]pyrimidine derivatives 10a–d, 11a–c, 12a,b, 14a,b, 17, and 19. In addition, pyrazolo[3, 4-b]pyridine derivative 20 (formed via the reaction of 1 with hydrazine hydrate) reacted with ethylisothiocyanate yielded the thiourea derivative 21. Compound 21 reacted with α-halocarbonyl compounds to give the 3-[(3H-thiazol-2-ylidene)amino]-1H-pyrazolo[3, 4-b]pyridine derivatives 23a–c, 25, and 27a,b.     

Synthesis and in vitro anticancer activity of pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidines and pyrazolo[3,4-d][1,2,3]triazines

A novel series of pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidines 14a–j and pyrazolo[1,5-a]quinazolines 18a, b were synthesized via condensation of 5-amino-1H-pyrazoles 10a, b with 3-(dimethylamino)-1-aryl-prop-2-en-1-ones 11a–e and 2-((dimethylamino)methylene)-5,5-dimethylcyclohexane-1,3-dione (15), respectively, in glacial acetic acid. Finally, treatment of 10a, b with sodium nitrite (NaNO₂) afforded pyrazolo[3,4-d]triazines 20a, b. Structures of compounds were confirmed by their spectral data. These compounds were screened for their in vitro cytotoxic activities against human cancer cell lines (HepG-2 and MCF-7) using 3-[4,5-dimethyl-2-thiazolyl)-2,5-diphenyl-2H-tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay. The results reveal that, the compounds 14b and 14h were the most potent in comparison with doxorubicin. The structure–activity relationship was discussed.     

Synthesis of some novel pyrazolo[1,5-a]quinazolines and their fused derivatives

New pyrazolo[1,5-a]quinazoline-3-carbonitriles 4a,b were obtained via cyclocondensation of 5-amino-3-cyanomethyl-1H-pyrazole-4-carbonitrile (1) with enaminones of 1,3-cyclohexanedione derivatives 2a,b in refluxing glacial acetic acid. Condensation of compounds 4a,b with various aromatic aldehydes furnished the corresponding arylidene derivatives 6a–j. On the other hand, condensation of 4a,b with o-hydroxybenzaldehydes yielded the polyheterocyclic compounds 10a–h. Coupling of compounds 4a,b with aryldiazonium chlorides led to formation of 2-arylhydrazono derivatives 12a–h. Also, reaction of compounds 4a,b with phenyl isothiocyanate, followed by addition of ethyl chloroacetate and chloroacetonitrile, afforded the polyheterocyclic compounds based on pyrazolo[1,5-a]quinazoline core. The reaction of compounds 4a,b with phenyl isothiocyanate and elemental sulfur gave the thiazole-2-thione derivatives 25a,b. The reaction of enamines of compounds 4a,b with each of hydrazine hydrate and guanidine hydrochloride afforded pyrazolo[4″,3″:5′,6′]pyrido[4′,3′:3,4]pyrazolo[1,5-a]quinazolin-8-ones 30a,b and pyrimido[5″,4″:5′,6′]pyrido[4′,3′:3,4]pyrazolo[1,5-a]quinazolin-9(10H)-ones 33a,b, respectively. The structures of all the newly synthesized compounds were elucidated by elemental analyses and spectral data. The plausible mechanisms have been postulated to account for their formation.

4-(3-(4-Hydroxyphenyl)-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)-6-phenyl-2-thioxo-1,2-di hydro-pyridine-3-carbonitrile (1) reacted with ethyl chloroacetate (2) in ethanolic sodium acetate solution to yield the corresponding ethyl (3-cyanopyridin-2-ylsulphanyl)acetate derivative 3. Intramolecular cyclization of compound 3 was achieved by its heating in DMF containing potassium carbonate to afford the corresponding ethyl 3-aminothieno[2,3-b]pyridine-2-carboxylate derivative 4 which reacted with hydrazine hydrate in refluxing pyridine to yield the starting material 3-aminothieno[2,3-b]pyridine-2-carbohydrazide derivative 7. Compound 7 reacted with different reagents such as triethylorthoformate, formic acid, acetic acid and acetic anhydride to afford the target molecules pyrido[3′,2′:4,5]thieno[3,2-d]pyrimidin-4(3H)-one derivatives 8–10, 12 and 13 in good to excellent yields. On the other hand, pyridine-2(1H)-thione derivative 1 reacted with hydrazine hydrate in refluxing pyridine to give the other starting material 3-amino-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridine derivative 20 which reacted with acetylacetone under reflux to afford the target molecule pyrido[2′,3′:3,4]pyrazolo[1,5-a]-pyrimidine derivative 21 in a good yield. The structures of target molecules were elucidated using elemental analyses and spectral data.     

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. The pyrrole derivatives 4a–f react with hydrazine hydrate and phenyl hydrazine in refluxing ethanol to afford the pyrrolo[3,4-d] pyridazine derivatives 7a–f and 8a–f respectively.     

Synthesis and antimicrobial activity of new derivatives of pyrano[4',3':4',5']pyrido[3',2':4,5]thieno[3,2-d]pyrimidine and new heterocyclic systems

Taking into account previously obtained biological results on some polyheterocyclic compounds (containing different heteroatoms) and in particular on several 8-amino-5-isopropyl-2,2-dimethyl-10-(methylthio)-1,4-dihydro-2H-pyrano[4’’,3’’:4’,5’]pyrido[3’,2’:4,5]thieno[3,2-d]pyrimidines Ia-v we have carried out the synthesis of twentyone 8-amino-5-isobutyl-2,2-dimethyl-10-(methylthio)-1,4-dihydro-2H-pyrano[4’’,3’’:4’,5’]pyrido[3’,2’:4,5]thieno[3,2-d]pyrimidines 6. Therefore we have slightly modified the structure of the previously studied I introducing at C-5 an isobutyl group instead of the previously examined isopropyl ones in order to see if this variation (changing a little the lipophilicity) will affect the biological activity. Furthermore thieno[3,2-d]pyrimidine-8-thione 7 and their S-alkylated 8 were synthesized. Finally by alkylation of 5-isobutyl-2,2-dimethyl-10-thioxo-1,4,10,11-tetrahydro-2H-pyrano[4'',3'':4',5']pyrido[3',2':4,5]thieno[3,2-d]pyrimidin-8(9H)-one 3 with alkyl dichlorides (bifunctional reagents) we realized the cyclization of a thiazole or thiazine ring on the [b] side of the pyrimidine ring with formation of the new condensed pentaheterocyclic systems: pyrano[4'',3'':4',5']pyrido[3',2':4,5]thieno[3,2-d][1,3]thiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidin-8-one 11 and pyrano[4''',3''':4'',5'']pyrido[3'',2'':4',5']thieno[3',2':4,5]pyrimido[2,1-b][1,3]thiazin-8-one 12. It was found that some of the synthesized compounds showed interesting antimicrobial activity (by agar diffusion method) against some gram-positive and gram-negative bacilli strains.     

Synthesis of Some New Pyrazolo[3,4-b]Pyridlne and Pyrazolo[3,4-d]Pyrimidine Derivatives1

Several pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridine (3,4) and pyrazolo-[3,4-d]pyrimidine (5-13) derivatives were prepared using 5-amino-l-(5-ethyl-5H-1,2,4-triazino[5,6-b]-indol-3-yl)-lH-pyrazole-4-carbonitrile (2) . The pyridine derivatives 3 and 4 were obtained by reaction of 2 with malononitrile and ethyl cyanoacetate, respectively, while pyrimidine analogs 5-13 were synthesized cither by a one-step or multi-step sequence.     

Synthesis of Fused Isolated Azoles and N-Heteroaryl Derivatives Based on 2-Methyl-3,4-dihydrothieno[3,4-d]pyrimidin-5-amine

In this work, we report the synthesis and characterization of new compounds derived from thieno[d]pyrimidines. The formation of isolated and fused thieno[d]pyrimidine derivatives was achieved via reacting 5-amino-(2-methyl)thieno[3,4-d]pyrimidin-4(3H)-one (3) with some selected reagents. The starting compound (2) was prepared in a quantitative yield using a modified procedure by conversion of the cyano group in 1 to the amide via hydrolysis using concentrated H₂SO₄. Methylthieno[3,4-d]pyrimidin-5-yl (8, 9, and 18), 3-phenylthieno[3,4-e][1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-c]pyrimidines (11–15) and tetrazolo[1,5-c]thieno[3,4-e]pyrimidine (16) have been synthesized in excellent isolated yield. The interaction of N-acetyl derivative 19 with benzaldehyde and/or some nitroso compounds afforded the chalcones and Schiff's bases derivatives 20 and 26a and c respectively. The latter compounds were used as key intermediates in the synthesis of N-acetylpyrazol-3-yl (21a and 21b), 6-phenylpyrimidine-2-(one)thione (22a and b), pyrazolo-1-carbothioamide (25), and thiazolidinone andβ β-lactam derivatives 28a and 28c and 30a and 30c respectively. The structures of these compounds were established by elemental analysis, infrared (IR), mass spectrometry (MS), and NMR spectral analysis.     

Synthesis of 2-aryl-6,6-dimethyl-8-oxo-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-1,2,4-4H-triazolo[3,2-b]benzothiazoles and their 3-aryl-[3,4-b] isomers

Summary Condensation of 3-aryl-5-thio-1,2,4-4H-trizoles (2a–i) and 2-bromodimedone (3) inTHF/benzene gave 2-aryl-6,6-dimethyl-8-oxo-5a-hydroxy-5,5a,6,7,8,8a-hexahydro-1,2,4-4H-triazolo[3,2-b]benzothiazoles (5a–i). These were also obtained by a one step synthesis on heating a mixture of dimedone,NBS, and2a–i in benzene containing a trace of benzoyl peroxide. Thermal dehydration of5a–i inPPA/anhydrous ethanol yielded the corresponding 2-aryl-6,6-dimethyl-8-oxo-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-1,2,4-4H-triazolo[3,2,b]benzothiazoles (6a–i). The formation of [3,4-b] fused isomers (4a–i) during the reaction of2 with3 was ruled out by an unambiguous synthesis of8a–i. Antibacterial screening of selected compounds againstEscherichia coli andStaphylococcus aureus was not encouraging.

Zusammenfassung Die Kondensation von 3-Aryl-5-thio-1,2,4-4H-triazolen (2a–i) mit 2-Bromdimedon (3) inTHF/Benzol ergab 2-Aryl-6,6-dimethyl-8-oxo-5a-hydroxy-5,5a,6,7,8,8a-hexahydro-1,2,4,-4H-triazolo[3,2-b]benzothiazole (5a–i). Dasselbe Ergebnis wurde durch Erhitzen einer Mischung von Dimedon,NBS und2a–i in Benzol unter Zusatz einer Spur Benzoylperoxid in einer einstufigen Synthese erreicht. Thermische Dehydrierung von5a–i inPPA/Ethanol(abs.) ergab die entsprechenden 2-Aryl-6,6-dimethyl-8-oxo-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-1,2,4-4H-triazolo[3,2-b]benzothiazole (6a–i). Die Bildung [3,4-b]-kondensierter Isomere (4a–i) während der Reaktion von2 mit3 konnte durch eine eindeutige Synthese von8a–i ausgeschlossen werden. Antibakterielles Screening ausgewählter Verbindungen gegenüberEscherichia coli undStaphylococcus aureus brachte keine ermutigenden Resultate.

ABSTRACT

Pyrrolo[3,4-b]indoles 8 are conveniently synthesized from 2,3-dimethylindole (4) in four steps, the last of which is DDQ oxidation of dihydropyrrolo[3,4-b]indoles 7 (85–98% yield).     

A Convenient Synthetic Approach to Newly Condensed Pyrazoloazines Based on Pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridine

The reaction of 6-amino-5-cyano-3-methyl-1H-1-phenylpyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridine ( 2 ) and 6,7-dihydro-3-methyl-6-oxo-1H-1-phenylpyrazolo[3,4-b)]pyridine-5-carbonitrile ( 3 ) and 5-amino-3-methyl-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-b]-1H-pyrazolo[4′,3′-e]pyridine ( 12 ) with different reagents have been conducted to give newly condensed pyrazoloazines.     

Fused quinoline heterocycles X. First synthesis of new four heterocyclic ring systems 10-amino-6,9-disubstituted-[1,2,4]triazino[4′,3′:1,5]pyrazolo[4,3-c]quinoline derivatives

A novel, simple, and efficient synthetic methodology for the synthesis of hitherto unreported tetracyclic 10-amino-6,9-disubstituted-[1,2,4]triazino[4′,3′:1,5]pyrazolo[4,3-c]quinolines, in one step, has been developed by coupling of various active methylene compounds with diazotized heterocyclic amines. Reacting 2,4-dichloroquinoline-3-carbonitrile (1) with cyanoacetic acid hydrazide (2) in the presence of triethylamine in refluxing MeOH gave the unexpected 3-amino-4-chloro-1H-pyrazolo[4,3-c]quinoline (4), instead of the desired tetracyclic ring system 3 (Scheme 1). Refluxing 4 with excess of cyclic secondary amines 5a–c in boiling dimethylformamide yielded the corresponding 4-amino-pyrazolo[4,3-c]quinolines 6a–c. Diazotization of compounds 4 and 6a–c with sodium nitrite and concentrated HCl at ?5?°C gave the corresponding diazonium salts 17a–d, which were then subjected to couple with different active methylene nitriles, namely, 2-cyanothioacetamide (12), ethyl cyanoacetate (13), malononitrile (14), 2-cyanoacetamide (15), and 2-cyano-N-phenylacetamide (16), in aqueous ethanol containing sodium acetate as a buffer solution. The coupling reaction of diazonium salts 17 with 12, 13, and 14 leading to the novel perianellated tetracyclic ring system 10-amino-6,9-disubstituted-[1,2,4]triazino[4′,3′:1,5]pyrazolo[4,3-c]quinolines 19, 23, and 27, respectively, in one step, is described for the first time. On the other hand, coupling reaction of diazonium salt 17a with both 15 and 16 yielded the previously unknown tetracyclic 10-amino-6-chloro-[1,2,4]triazino[4′,3′:1,5]pyrazolo[4,3-c]quinoline-9-carboxamides 28a and 28b, respectively (Scheme 6). No chromatographic techniques have been used for the purification of the products. The structures of all the newly synthesized compounds were unambiguously confirmed by spectroscopic and analytical techniques.     

Utility of 1‐Chloro‐3,4‐dihydronaphthalene‐2‐carboxaldehyde in the Synthesis of Novel Heterocycles with Pharmaceutical Interest

Ethyl α‐cyano‐β‐(1‐chloro‐3,4‐dihydronaphthalene‐2‐yl) acrylate (2) was prepared by the Knoevenagel condensation of 1 with ethyl cyanoacetate. Compound 2 was used as the key intermediate to prepare Schiff bases (3a, b), benzo[c]acridine (4), naphthyl thiopyrimidine (5), and pyrazolo[2,3‐a]‐benzo[h]quinazoline (6) derivatives through its reaction with hydrazines, p‐ansidine, thiourea, and 3,5‐diamino‐4‐phenylazopyrazole, respectively. Base‐catalyzed cyclocondensation of 1 with hippuric acid gives oxazolone derivative (7). Reaction of compound 7 with aniline gave imidazolone derivative (9). Treatment of compound 1 with different types of diaminopyrazoles gave 6,7‐dihydro‐pyrazolo[2,3‐a]‐benzo[h]quinazoline (10–13) derivatives. The multicomponent reaction of compound 1 with pyrazolone and malononitrile in the presence of ammonium acetate furnished pyrazolo[3,4‐b]‐benzo[h]quinoline (14) while in the presence of piperidine afforded benzo[h]chromeno[2,3‐c]pyrazole derivative 15.     

2-Ethanethioamide in Heterocyclic Synthesis: Synthesis and Characterization of Several New Pyridine and Fused Azolo- and Azinopyridine Derivatives

Pyridine-2(1H)-thione derivatives 3a,b were synthesized from the reaction of 1-(phenyl-sulfanyl)acetone (1) and cinnnamonitrile derivatives 2a,b. Compounds 3a,b reacted with different halogenated reagents 7a–f to give 2-S-alkylpyridine derivatives 8a–l, which could be, in turn, cyclized into the corresponding thieno[2,3-b]pyridine derivatives 9a–l. Compounds 9d,j reacted with acetic anhydride, formic acid, carbon disulfide, phenyl isothiocyanate, and nitrous acid to yield the corresponding pyrido[3′,2′:4,5]thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidine 12a,b, 15a,b, 17a,b, 20a,b, and pyrido[3′,2′:4,5]thieno[2,3-d][1,2,3]triazinone derivatives 22a,b, respectively.

Electron transfer from dibenzo[b,f]-1-azapentalene dianion: Attempted synthesis of dibenzo[b,f]-1-azapentalene

When dibenzo[b,f]-1-azapentalene dianion (3) was allowed to react with either iron (III) chloride or ethylene bromide, a one-electron transfer from3 took place readily to give the radical anion11. Further electron transfer from11 did not occur presumably due to the antiaromatic character of dibenzo[b,f]-1-azapentalene (1) that would have resulted. The radical anion11 underwent further transformation by hydrogen abstraction from the solvent to give 5,10-dihydroindeno[1,2-b]indole (2) and by dimerization to themeso and (R,S) isomers of 5,5,10,10-tetrahydro-10,10-biindeno[1,2-b]indole (4 a and4 b) respectively.

2-[3-(Trifluoromethyl)phenyl]furo[3,2-b]pyrroles: synthesis and reactions

The synthesis and reactions of methyl 2-[3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-4H-furo[3,2-b]pyrrole-5-carboxylate (1a) are described. Upon reaction with methyl iodide, benzyl chloride, or acetic anhydride, this compound gave N-substituted products 1b-d. By hydrolysis of compounds 1a-c, the corresponding acids 2a-c were formed, or by reaction with hydrazine-hydrate, the corresponding carbohydrazides 3a-c were formed. By heating 2-[3-(trifluoromethyl)phenly]-4H-furo[3,2-b]pyrrole-5-carboxylic acid (2a) in acetic anhydride, 4-acetyl-2-[3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]furo[3,2-b]pyrrole (4) was formed. By hydrolysis of 4, 2-[3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-4H-furo[3,2-b]pyrrole (5a) was formed, and reactions with methyl iodide or benzyl chloride gave N-substituted products 5b-c. The reaction of 4 with dimethyl butynedioate gave substituted benzo[b]furan 6. Compound 3a reacted with triethyl orthoesters giving 7a-c, which afforded with phosphorus (V) sulphide the corresponding thiones 8a-c. The thiones 8a-c reacted with hydrazine hydrate to form hydrazine derivatives 9a-c. The reaction of triethyl orthoformiate with compounds 9a-c led to furo[2′,3′: 4,5]pyrrolo[1,2-d][1,2,4]triazolo[3,4-f][1,2,4]triazines 10a-c. Hydrazones 11a-c were formed from 3a-c and 5-[3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]furan-2-carboxaldehyde. The effect of microwave irradiation on some condensation reactions was compared with “classical” conditions. The results showed that microwave irradiation shortens the reaction time while affording comparable yields.

Abstract

Sixteen novel 3-methylthio-5-substituted benzamido-6-arylamino-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-4 (5H)-one derivatives (4a–p) were successfully synthesized from iminophosphoranes, aryl isocyanate, and substituted benzoylhydrazine. The structures of the title compounds were elucidated by FT-IR, ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, and HRMS. Herbicidal activity of the compounds 4a–p against Brassica napus (rape), Echinochloa crusgalli (barnyard grass), Cucumis sativus (cucumber), and Triticum aestivum (wheat) were determined. The results showed that 5-(2-chlorobenzamido)-6-phenylamino-3-methylthio-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-4 (5H)-one (4c) displayed remarkable inhibition activity against the stalk and root of rape with 100% inhibition rate at the dosages of 10?mg/L and 100?mg/L, and 5-(4-nitrobenzamido)-6-phenylamino-3-methylthio-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-4 (5H) -one (4d) exhibited excellent activity against the stalk and root of barnyard grass with 100% inhibition rate at the same dosages.     

Synthesis of 1,3-Bis[(3-aryl)-S-triazolo[3,4-b]-[1,3,4]thiadiazole-6-yl]benzenes

1,3-bis[(3-aryl)-s-triazolo[3,4-b]-[1,3,4]thiadiazole-6-yl]benzenes 2 were synthesized in high yields by the reaction of 3-aryl 4-amino-5-mercapto-1,2,4-triazole 1 with m-phthalic acid.
