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.     

A new method for the synthesis of novel 6-quinoxalinylpyrazolo[5,1-c][1,2,4]triazines

The reaction of the quinoxaline 1 with 4-ethoxycarbonyl-1H-pyrazole-5-diazonium chloride 7 at room temperature gave 3-[α-(4-ethoxycarbonyl-1H-pyrazol-5-ylhydrazono)methoxycarbonylmethyl]-2-oxo-1,2-dihydroquinoxaline 8. The pmr spectrum of 8 in deuteriodimethylsulfoxide supported the presence of two tautomers 8-I and 8-II. Refluxing of 8 in N,N-dimethylformamide or acetic acid resulted in cyclization to afford 8-ethoxycarbonyl-4-oxo-3-(3-oxo-3,4-dihydroquinoxalin-2-yl)-1,4-dihydropyrazolo[5,1-c][1,2,4]triazine 9. Compound 9 was also obtained directly by the reaction of 1 with 7 under reflux in better yield. The reaction of 9 with hydrazine hydrate provided the hydrazinium salt 10 , while the reactions of 9 with triethyl and trimethyl orthoformates in the presence of 1,8-diazabicyclo[5,4,0]-7-undecene produced 8-ethoxycarbonyl-4-ethoxyl-3-(3-oxo-3,4-dihydroquinoxalin-2-yl)pyrazolo[5,1-c][1,2,4]triazine 11a and 8-ethoxycarbonyl-4-methoxyl-3-(3-oxo-3,4-dihydroquinoxalin-2-yl)pyrazolo[5,1-c][1,2,4]triazine 11b , respectively. The chlorination of 11a with phosphoryl chloride gave 3-(3-chloroquinoxalin-2-yl)-8-ethoxycarbonyl-4-ethoxylpyrazolo[5,1-c]-[1,2,4]triazine 12 , whose reaction with morpholine afforded 8-ethoxycarbonyl-4-ethoxyl-3-[3-(morpholin-4-yl)-quinoxalin-2-yl]pyrazolo[5,1-c][1,2,4]triazine 13.

Pyrazolopyrimidine nucleosides. Part VII. The synthesis of certain pyrazolo [3,4-d] pyrimidine nucleosides related to the nucleoside antibiotics toyocamycin and sangivamycin

The condensation of 4-acetamido-3-cyanopyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine ( 5 ) with crystalline 2,3,5-tri-O-acetyl-β- D -ribofuranosyl chloride ( 6 ) has furnished a good yield of nucleoside material ( 7 ) which on treatment with sodium methoxide in methanol provided a high yield of nucleoside which was subsequently established as methyl 4-amino-1-(β- D -ribofuranosyl)pyrazolo[3,4-d]-pyrimidine-3-formimidate monohydrate ( 11 ). The formimidate function of 11 was found to be highly reactive and 11 was readily converted into the corresponding carhoxamidine ( 8 ), carboxamidoxime ( 14 ) and carboxamidrazone ( 15 ) when treated with the appropriate nucleophiles. Treatment of the imidate ( 11 ) with sodium hydrogen sulfide gave a high yield of the thiocarboxamide ( 12 ) which was then readily converted into 4-amino-3-cyano-1-(β- D -ribofuranosyl)pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine ( 16 ). Aqueous base transformed 11 into 4-amino-1-(β- D -ribofuranosyl)-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine-3-carboxamide ( 10 ) while more vigorous basic hydrolysis provided the corresponding carboxylic acid ( 9 ) in nearly quantitative yield. Decarboxylation of 9 proceeded smoothly in hot sulfolane to provide the known 4-amino-1-(β- D -ribofuranosyl)pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine ( 13 ) in 68% yield which unequivocally established the site of ribosylation and anomeric configuration for all nucleosides reported in this investigation.

This compound could not be used as starting material for the preparation of indolo[3,2-c]pyridazino[3,4-d]pyrimidine derivatives ( 8 ) because it yielded the corresponding hydrazones ( 7 ).     

Synthesis of pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine derivatives using ketene dithioacetals

The cyclization of 5-amino-3-methylthiopyrazole-4-carbonitriles or 4-carboxamides 3a-j , which were prepared by the reaction of ketene dithioacetals 1a,b [1a : bis(methylthiomethylenemalononitrile; 1b : bis(methylthio)methylenecyanoacetamide] with hydrazines (hydrazine hydrate, phenylhydrazine, p-chlorophenylhydrazine, p-nitrophenylhydrazine), with formamide or carbon disulfide proceeded to give the corresponding 4-amino- or 4-hydroxy-3-methylthiopyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidines 6a-h in good yields. 3-Aminopyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine derivatives 6i-1 were also obtained by the application of the cyclization reaction of 3,5-diaminopyrazoles with formamide.     

Cyclocondensation of 6-acetyl-4,7-dihydro-5-methyl-7-phenyl[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine with hydroxylamine and hydrazine

The cyclocondensation of 6-acetyl-4,7-dihydro-5-methyl-7-phenyl[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine (3) with hydroxylamine or hydrazine leads to 3a,4,9,9a-tetrahydro-3,9a-dimethyl-4-phenylisoxazolo-[5,4-d][1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine ( 4a ) and 3a,4,9,9a-tetrahydro-3,9a-dimethyl-4-phenyl-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-d][1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine ( 4b ), respectively. In the presence of methanolic hydrogen chloride, 4b undergoes a cleavage of the pyrimidine ring to yield (5-amino-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)(3,5-dimethylpyrazol-4-yl)phenylmethane ( 5 ). The structure determination of the compounds obtained is based on ¹H and ¹³C nmr spectra including NOE measurements.     

Regiocontrolled synthesis of 3- and 5-aminopyrazoles,pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidines,pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridines and pyrazolo[3,4-b]quinolinones as MAPK inhibitors

Microwave irradiation of a hydrazine and 3-methoxyacrylonitrile, ethoxymethylenemalononitrile or ethyl acetoacetate provides rapid access to 3- or 5-substituted pyrazoles in excellent yield and with total regiocontrol in a process that can be switched from one regioisomer to the other by choice of conditions. Subsequent reaction, either by microwave-assisted hydrolysis and cyclocondensation with formamide, Hantzsch-type three-component reaction with an aldehyde and ketone, or by cyclocondensation with 2-nitrobenzaldehyde, provides the pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine, pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridine or pyrazolo[3,4-b]quinolin-4-one framework, respectively, of inhibitors of mitogen-activated protein kinases.
