Pyrrolopyridazines. II. Synthesis of the novel pyrrolo[3,2-c]pyridazine ring system

The first derivatives of the pyrrolo[3,2-c]pyridazine ring system, ethyl pyrrolo[3,2-c]pyridazine-6-carboxylate 2-oxide (5) and ethyl 3-chloro-6-methylpyrrolo[3,2-c]pyridazine-7-glyoxalate 1-oxide ( 12 ), were obtained in good yields from the cyclization of 4-ethoxymethyl-eneamino-3-methylpyridazine 1-oxide (3) and 3-chloro-5-(α-ethoxyethylideneamino)-6-methylpyridazine 1-oxide (14, R ? Cl, R₁ ? OMe), respectively, with diethyl oxalate and potassium ethoxide in ether.     

Synthesis of 7-(1-pyrrolidinyl)-1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-b]pyridazines

The reactions of secondary amines (pyrrolidine, piperidine and morpholine) with 3,4,5-trichloropyridazine ( 4 ) was investigated. With 4 and excess amine, disubstitution occurred in good yield and selectively at positions 3 and 5. Treatment of 4 with 2 equivalents of the amine in ethanol afforded high yields of products resulting from monosubstitution at position 5. 3,4-Dichloro-5-(1-pyrrolidinyl)pyridazine ( 6a ), resulting from 4 and 2 equivalents of pyrrolidine, was converted cleanly to 4-chloro-3-hydrazino-5-(1-pyrrolidinyl)pyridazine ( 8 ) with hydrazine hydrate. Pyridazine 8 was cyclized with formic acid to give a 1:1 complex ( 9 ) of formic acid and 8-chloro-7-(1-pyrrolidinyl)-1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-b]pyridazine ( 13 ). Triazolopyridazine 13 also formed a monohydrate ( 12 ) and a monohydrochloride salt ( 14 ). Catalytic hydrogenation of 9 gave 7-(1-pyrrolidinyl)-1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-b]pyridazine ( 3 ), which was a target compound of this investigation.     

Synthesis of s-triazolo[4,3-b]pyridazine C-nucleosides

A one step synthesis of s-triazolo[4,3-b]pyridazine using 3-chloro-6-hydrazinopyridazine and an appropriate thioformimidate is described. Applying this procedure to 5-O-benzoyl-1-benzylthio-1-formimidate-D-ribofuranose, 5′ benzoyl-6-chloro-3β-D-ribofuranosyl-s-triazolo[4,3-b]pyridazine was obtained. Substitutions of chlorine by nucleophilic reagents afforded some derivatives of a new series of C-nucleo-sides. Structural determination including anomeric configuration assignment is discussed based mainly on ¹H nmr spectroscopy.     

2-Dicyanomethylidene-3-ethoxymethylidene-2,3-dihydroindole in the synthesis of fused tri- and tetracyclic systems

The reactions of 2-dicyanomethylidene-3-ethoxymethylidene-2,3-dihydroindole with hydrazine hydrate and phenylhydrazine afforded 2,3-diamino-4-cyanopyrido[4,3-b]indole and 3-amino-2-anilino-4-cyanopyrido[4,3-b]indole, respectively, and the reactions of the latter compounds with dimethylformamide diethyl acetal were studied. The reactions of 2,3-diamino-4-cyanopyrido[4,3-b]indole with benzaldehyde, ethyl acetoacetate, and acetylacetone were investigated. First representatives of new heterocyclic systems, viz., [1,2,4]triazolo[1’,5’:1,6]-pyrido[4,3-b]indole and pyrazolo[1’,5’:1,2]pyrido[4,3-b]indole, were synthesized. The structure of ethyl 6-cyano-5-[(E)-(dimethylamino)methylideneamino]-2-methyl-7H-pyrazolo-[1’,5’:1,2]pyrido[4,3-b]indole-1-carboxylate was established by X-ray diffraction.

All of these were previously unknown compounds. Treating 1,4-dioxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-5H-pyridazino[4,5-b]indole ( 1 ) with phosphorus oxychloride gave 1,4-dichloro-5H-pyridazino[4,5-b]indole ( 2 ), which reacts regioselectively with hydrazine to give compound 4 . The reactions of 4 with formic and acetic acids gave 6-chloro-11 H-1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-b]pyridazino[4,5-b]indoles ( 6a-6b ), respectively. Reaction of compound 6a with hydrazine gave 6-hydrazino-11H-1,2,4-triazolo[4,3–6]-pyridazino[4,5,-b]indole ( 8 ). This with nitrous acid gave 6-azido-11H-1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-b]pyridazino[4,5-b]-indole ( 9 ). Compound 4 reacted with nitrous acid to give 6-chloro-11H-tetrazolo[4,5-b]pyridazino[4,5-b]-indole ( 10 ), which gave 1,4-diazydo-5H-pyridazino[4,5-b]indole ( 12 ), through successive reactions with hydrazine and nitrous acid. All compounds were characterized by elemental analysis, ir and ¹H-nmr spectra.

Many other alkenes, particularly the phenyl ethylenes, did not react with compound 1. In general, more than one product was isolated for each reaction except in the case of the two ester alkenes where a single eyanomethyl product was observed.     

A simple stereoselective one-pot synthesis of C-nucleosides by 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of chiral azomethine imines prepared in situ

The NH,NH-dihydrocycloadduct 1 (6-chloro-9,9-dimethyl-7,8-dihydro-9H-pyrazolo[4,3-d]tetrazolo[1,5-b]-pyridazine) obtained by the cycloaddition of 2-diazopropane to 6-chlorotetrazolo[1,5-b]pyridazine, is transformed with protected or unprotected carbohydrates 2, 5, 7,9, 11, 13 and 15 in the presence of methyl acrylate ( 3 ) into the corresponding C-nucleosides 4,6,8,10,12,14 and 16 . In this one-pot synthesis two new chiral centers are formed stereoselectively, dependent on the chirality at C-atom next to aldehydo group in the carbohydrate.     

Synthesis of some fused triazoloquinolines

The reaction of 3 -amino-1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-a]quinoline ( II ) with diethyl ethoxymethylenemalonate and ethyl acetoacetate/ethyl trifluoroacetoacetate afforded 10-carboethoxy-9-oxo-9H-pyrimido[1′,2′:1,5][1,2,4]triazolo-[4,3-a]quinoline ( III ) and 11-methyl/trifluoromethyl-9-oxo-9H-pyrimido[1′,2′:1,5][1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]quinoline ( IV/V ) respectively. 2-Chloropyridine-3-carboxylic acid chloride reacted with II to yield 5-oxo-5H-pyrido-[3″,2″:5′,6′]pyrimido[1′,2′:1,5][1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]quinoline ( VII ), a new ring system.

Starting with ethyl 3-aminoindole-2-carboxylate 1 , 5H-pyrimido[5,4-b]indol-4-one 2 was obtained (80%) by condensing with formamide. Reactions of 2 with phosphorus oxychloride and phosphorus pentasulfide gave respectively, 4-chloro-5H-pyrimido[5,4-b]indole 3 (70%) and 5H-pyrimido[5,4-b]indole-4-thione 4 (80%). Compound 3 reacted with amines (morpholine, piperidine) to give the respective 4-amino-5H-pyrimido[5,4-b]-indoles 5 , and compound 4 reacted with hydrazine to give 4-hydrazino-5H-pyrimido[5,4-b]indole 6 (80%). Two hydrazones of 6 (benzylidene, isopropylidene) 7 were also prepared (90%). Compound 6 reacted with formic and acetic acids to give (65–75%) the respective 1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-c]pyrimido[5,4-b]indoles 8 and with nitrous acid to give tetrazolo[4,5-c]pyrimido[5,4-b]indole 9 (85%). All the new compounds 2 to 9 were characterized by elemental analysis and spectral data (ir, nmr).     

An efficient synthesis of novel heterocyclic systems incorporating coumarin moiety

Polyfunctional 3-chloro-3-(4-chlorocoumarin-3-yl)prop-2-enal ( 1 ) used as a precursor for heterocyclic synthesis. Dichloro-aldehyde 1 was allowed to react with variable nucleophilic reagents, and a diversity of heterocyclic systems linked coumarin moiety at position 3 was synthesized. The reaction of compound 1 with guanidine and cyanoguanidine produced 3-(pyrimidin-4-yl)-4-chlorocoumarins 2 and 3 . Treating compound 1 with 3-amino-1,2,4-triazole and 2-aminobenzimidazole yielded triazolo[4,3-a]pyrimidine 4 and pyrimido[1,2-a]benzimidazole 5 . The treatment of compound 1 with cyanoacetamide, N-benzyl-2-cyanoacetamide, and 1H-benzimidazolylacetonitrile gave 2(1H)-pyridones 6 , 7 and pyrido[1,2-a]benzimidazole 8 . The reaction of compound 1 with 5-amino-3-methyl-1H-pyrazole and 6-aminouracil afforded pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridine 9 and pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidine 10 , respectively. Compound 1 reacted with ethylenediamine, o-phenylenediamine , o-aminophenol, and o-aminothiophenol leading to 5-(imidazolylmethyl)chromeno[4,3-e] [1,4]diazepine ( 12 ), 3-(benzodiazepin/benzoxazepin-2-yl)-4-chlorocoumarins 13 , 14 , and 6-(benzothiazol-2-ylmethyl)chromeno[4,3-b][1,5]benzothiazepine 16 , respectively. Structures of the new synthesized products were deduced on the basis of their analytical and spectral data.     

Heterocyclization of 3-(R-amino)-3-methylthio-1-phenylpropenones and 5-benzoyl-6-methylthio-1,2-dihydropyridin-2-ones with 1,2- and 1,3-dinucleophilic reagents

The interaction of 3-(R-amino)-3-methylthio-1-phenylpropenones and 1-alkyl-5-benzoyl-3-ethoxy-carbonyl-6-methylthio-1,2-dihydropyridin-2-ones with N,N- and N,C-1,2- and 1,3-dinucleophiles proceeded regioselectively by [3 + 2] and [3 + 3] cyclocondensation with the formation of derivatives of pyrazole, benzimidazo[1,2-a]-pyridine, benzimidazo[1,2-a]pyrimidine, imidazo[1,2-a]pyrimidine, [1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-b]pyridazine, and 6,7-dihydro-2H-pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridine. The regioselectivity of the reactions carried out was analyzed.     

Photoelectron spectroscopy of heterocycles. Azaindenes and azaindolizines

The HeI photoelectron (PE) spectra of indole ( 1 ), benzimidazole ( 2 ), indazole ( 3 ), 3-chloro-indazole ( 4 ), imidazo[1,2-b]pyridazine ( 5 ), 6-chloroimidazo[1,2-b]pyridazine ( 6 ), 2-phenyl-imidazo[1,2-b]pyridazine ( 7 ), 2-phenyl-6-chloroimidazo[1,2-b]pyridazine ( 8 ), tetrazolo[1,2-a]-pyridine ( 9 ) and 8-cyanotetrazolo[1,5-a]pyridine ( 10 ) have been recorded. The spectra of 2–10 are of special interest for studying lone pair interactions. The assignment of the PE spectra submitted here, conjointly with the electronic structure of the studied compounds is discussed on the basis of molecular orbital calculations.     

A convenient synthesis of 1,2,4-triazolo[4,3,2-o,p]-[1,3]diazocino[4,5-b]quinoxalines via a 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction and a ring transformation

The reaction of 6-chloro-2-hydrazinoquinoxaline 4-oxide 5 with triethyl orthoformate gave 7-chloro-1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-a]quinoxaline 5-oxide 6. The reaction of compound 6 with phenyl isocyanate afforded 7-chloro-4-phenylamino-1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-a]quinoxaline 7 , while the reaction of compound 6 with phenyl isothiocyanate resulted in deoxygenation to provide 7-chloro-1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-a]quinoxaline 8. However, the reaction of compound 6 with allyl isothiocyanate effected the 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction, but not deoxygenation, to furnish 9-chloro-4,5-dihydroisoxazolo[2,3-a][1,2,4]triazolo[3,4-c]quinoxalin-5-ylmethylisothiocyanate 9. Moreover, the reduction of compound 9 with iron/acetic acid resulted in ring transformation to give 11 -chloro-7-hydroxy-4-thioxo-4,5,6,7,8,9-hexahydro-1,2,4-triazolo[4,3,2- o,p][1,3]diazocino[4,5-b]quinoxaline 10 , whose acetylation afforded 5-acetyl-11-chloro-7-hydroxy-4-thioxo-4,5,6,7,8,9-hexahydro-1,2,4-triazolo[4,3,2-o,p][1,3]diazocino[4,5-b]quinoxaline 11.     

Synthesis of pyridazine derivatives. XXI. Tetrazolo-azido transformations in some fused azolopyridazines

6-Azidotetrazolo[1,5-b]pyridazine (III) has been prepared by two different routes and is easily transformed into the 6-amino derivative (IV). The attempted cyclization of 6-hydrazinotetrazolo[1,5-b] pyridazine (II) into the postulated tricycle has been shown to result in the formation of 6-azido-s-triazolo [4,3-b]pyridazine (VI), obtained also in a separate experiment from VII. The azido structure of VI has been confirmed from spectroscopic data and from its conversion into 6-amino-s-triazolo [4,3-b]pyridazine (VIII), obtained in another experiment from VII. Similarly, cyclization of II with cyanogen bromide resulted in the simultaneous formation of the s-triazolo ring and ring opening of the fused tetrazolo ring, giving IX. For 6-azido-2-phenylimidazo[1,2-b]pyridazine (XII) the expected azide structure proved to be correct.     

Synthesis and Properties of 6-Amino-7-hetaryl-5-R-5H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyrazine-2,3-dicarbonitriles

We have established that when 5-chloro-6-[cyano(2,3-dihydro-1-R-benzo[d]azol-2-yl)methyl]-2,3-pyrazinedicarbonitriles are reacted with nucleophilic reagents (aliphatic and aromatic amines, hydrogen sulfide), annelation of the five-membered ring occurs on the [b] face of the pyrazine with formation of 6-amino-7-hetaryl-5-R-5H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyrazine-2,3-dicarbonitriles and 6-amino-7-(1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2-yl)thieno[2,3-b]pyrazine-2,3-dicarbonitrile respectively. Further heating with excess of acylating reagent leads to formation of a novel heterocyclic system 1H-benzo[4,5]imidazo[1,2-c]pyrazino[2',3':4,5]pyrrolo[3,2-e]pyrimidine. Reaction of vicinal dinitriles with hydrazine hydrate leads to the novel system 1H-pyrrolo[2',3':5,6]pyrazino[2,3-d]pyridazine.     

The synthesis of ω-dialkylaminoalkylaminopyrazino[2,3-d]-, pyrido[2,3-d]-, imidazo[4,5-c]- and imidazo[4,5-d]pyridazines

The synthesis of 5-chloro-8-(ω-dialkylaminoalkylamino)pyrazino[2,3-d]pyridazine (II) proceeded smoothly when 5,8-dichloropyrazino[2,3-d]pyridazine (I) was allowed to react with ω-dialkylaminoalkylamines. Similarly, the reaction of 5,8-dichloropyrido[2,3-d]pyridazine (IV) with ω-dialkylaminoalkylamines gave the two expected products 8-chloro-5-(ω-dialkylaminoalkylamino)pyrido[2,3-d]pyridazine (V) and 5-chloro-8-(ω-dialkylaminoalkylamino)pyrido[2,3-d]pyridazine (VI) in a 2:3 ratio. 4,7-Dichloroimidazo[4,5-d]pyridazine (XII) was found to be much less reactive towards nucleophilic substitutions and more vigorous conditions resulted in disubstituted products (XIII). 7-Chloroimidazo[4,5-c]pyridazine (XVIII) was also found to be much less reactive towards nucleophilic substitution. In both of these cases one of the imidazole nitrogen atoms was blocked by a tetrahydropyranyl group which increased the reactivities and led to the desired monosubstituted products XVII from XII and in the latter case the expected products (XIX).     

Synthesis of 1-hydrazinopyridazino[4,5-b]quinoxaline and related compounds

This paper describes the synthesis of 1-hydrazinopyridazino[4,5-b]quinoxaline ( 10 ), tetrazolo[4,3-b]pyridazino[4,5-b]quinoxaline ( 11 ) and some 1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-b]pyridazino[4,5-b]quinoxalines 13 . Starting with 2-ethoxycarbonyl-3-methylquinoxaline 1,4-dioxide ( 1 ), 1,2-dihydro-1-oxopyridazino[4,5-b]quinoxaline ( 5 ) was prepared by three different ways: (a) chlorination of 1 in acetic acid gave 2-ethoxycarbonyl-3-dichloromethylquinoxaline 1,4-dioxide, which reacts with an excess of hydrazine to give about 60% of 5 ; (b) oxidation of 1 with selenium dioxide gave 90% of 2-ethoxycarbonyl-3-formylquinoxaline 1,4-dioxide ( 3 ), which reacts with hydrazine to give 5 (63%); (c) compound 3 was treated with hydrazine to give 1,2-dihydro-1-oxopyridazino-[4,5-b]quinoxaline 1,4-dioxide ( 4 ) (70%), which by reduction with sodium dithionite gave 5 (80%). Compound 5 reacts with phosphorus pentasulfide or the Lawesson reagent to give 1,2-dihydro-1-thiocarbonylpyridazino[4,5-b]quinoxaline ( 9 ), which treated with hydrazine gave 5 (80%). This last compound reacts with nitrous acid to give 11 . Some hydrazones 12 from 10 are described. Heating the aldehyde hydrazones 12a,c,d with dimethylsulfoxide some 1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-b]pyridazino[4,5-b]quinoxalines 13 were obtained. Compound 13a was also obtained in the reaction of 10 with benzoyl chloride. Reaction of 3 with phenylhydrazine gave 1,2-dihydro-1-oxo-2-phenylpyridazino[4,5-b]quinoxaline ( 6 ). Reactions of 5 with acetic anhydride and dimethylsulfate gave, respectively, 1-acetoxypyridazino[4,5-b]quinoxaline ( 8 ) and 1,2-dihydro-1-oxo-2-methylpyridazino-[4,5-b]quinoxaline ( 7 ). All the compounds were characterized by elemental analysis and ¹H-nmr spectra. Compounds 5 and 10 showed antihypertensive activity in rats.     

CsF-Catalyzed alkylation of gamma-carbolines with fluorine-containing 3-vinylpyridines

CsF-Catalyzed alkylation of gamma-carbolines with 3-vinyl-5-fluoropyridine and 3-vinyl-6-trifluoromethylpyridine led to the formation of 5-[2-(5-fluoropyrid-2-yl)ethyl]-2,3,4-tetrahydro-1H-pyrido[4,3-b]-indoles and 5-[2-(6-trifluoromethylpyrid-2-yl)ethyl]-2,3,4-tetrahydro-1H-pyrido[4,3-b]indoles.     

Synthesis of tricyclic and tetracyclic thieno[3,2-f]-1,4-thiazepines

Treatment of 5-methylthio-2,3-dihydrothieno[3,2-f]-1,4-thiazepine ( 9 ) with acylhydrazines gave 5,6-dihydrothieno[3,2-f]-1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-d][1,4]thiazepines 10, 11 , and that of 9 with ethyl anthranilate gave 5,6-dihydrothieno[3′,2′:6,7][1,4]thiazepino[5,4-b]quinazolin-8-one ( 14 ). Reaction of 9 with hydrazine hydrate or 4-chlorophenylhydrazine afforded 5-hydrazino compounds 12, 15 , which were subsequently cyclized to ethyl 5,6-dihydrothieno[3,2-f]-1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-d][1,4]thiazepine-3-carboxylate ( 13 ), 2-(4-chlorophenyl)-5,6-dihydrothieno[3,2-f]-1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-d][1,4]thiazepin-3(2H)-one ( 16 ) and 2-(4-chlorophenyl)-6,7-dihydro-2H-thieno[3,2-f][1,2,4]triazino[4,3-d][1,4]thiazepine-3,4-dione ( 17 ). New thieno-anellated heterocycles were prepared with the aim of studying their affinity for the benzodiazepine receptors.
