A series of alkyl l‐heteroaryl‐1H‐1,2,3‐triazole‐4‐carboxylates 6a‐u were synthesised in four steps from methyl (Z)‐2‐benzyloxycarbonylarmino‐3‐(dimethylamino)prop‐2‐enoate ( 1 ) and heterocyclic amines 2a‐s. Triazoles 6a‐o were tested against antimycobacterial activity. For the most active compound, n‐pentyl 1‐(6‐phenylpyridazin‐3‐yl)‐1H‐1,2,3‐triazole‐4‐carboxylate ( 6n ), minimum inhibitory concentration 3.13 μg/ml was determined.     

Ex-Chiral Pool Enaminones in the Synthesis of Functionalised Heterocycles

Various chiral enaminones and hydrazones, derived from chiral pool starting materials, such as L-aspartic acid, L-3-phenylalanine, (+)-camphor, and D-aldoses were employed as key-intermediates in the synthesis of functionalised heterocycles, such as aminomethylidene substituted tetramic acids, heteroaryl substituted phenethylamines and terpenes, and C-nucleosides.     

Synthesis of functionalized compounds containing pyridazine and related moieties

3‐Aminopyridazines 17 and 3‐hydrazinopyridazines 18 were used as building blocks for the preparation of various types of functionalized, pyridazine ring containing compounds. 3‐Aminopyridazines were employed in the synthesis of 3‐(6‐chloroimidazo[1,2‐b]pyridazin‐2‐yl)alanines 26, 27 and for the preparation of 3‐amino‐4H‐pyrimido[1,2‐b]pyridazin‐4‐ones 103 , intermediates in the ‘ring switching’ synthesis of alkyl 1‐pyridazin‐3‐yl‐1,2,3‐triazole‐4‐carboxylates 106 .On the other hand, hydrazinopyridazines 18 were employed in a two‐step preparation of 3‐functionalized 1,2,4‐triazolo[4,3‐b]pyridazines via condensation with functionalized aldehydes and their enamino analogs followed by oxidative cyclization of the intermediate hydrazones. In this manner, 1,2,4‐triazolo[4,3‐b]pyridazin‐3‐yl substituted alanines 29, 30 , polyols 33, 39–48 , C‐nucleosides 49, 50 , and terpenes 58, 62, 64–69 were prepared. In another general approach, 3‐hydrazinopyridazines 18 were treated with functionalized enaminones as 1,3‐dielectrophiles to give the 1‐(substituted pyridazin‐3‐yl)‐1H‐pyrazole derivatives containing an ester 72, 73, 75, 76 , alanine 79, 84, 85, 87 , 2‐phenylethylamine 97, 99 , and β‐amino alcohol functional element 98, 100 . In the reaction of 4‐oxohomoglutamate 82 with hydrazine hydrate and methyl hydrazine, chiral functionalized tetrahydropyridazinones 88a,b were obtained.     

Parallel solution-phase synthesis of (Z)-3-(arylamino)-2,3-dehydroalanine derivatives and solid-phase synthesis of fused pyrimidones

N-Protected (Z)-3-(arylamino)-2,3-dehydroalanine esters 5 and 10 were prepared in one step from methyl (Z)-2-acylamino-3-(dimethylamino)prop-2-enoates 3 and 9 and anilines 4 employing a parallel solution-phase synthetic approach. In most cases, analytically pure products 5 and 10 were obtained. On the other hand, a three-step parallel solid-phase synthesis of 2-acetylamino-4H-azino[1,2-x]pyrimidin-4-ones 15 via the polymer-bound methyl (Z)-2-acetylamino-3-(dimethylamino)prop-2-enoate (12) was also developed.     

Enaminone‐Based Synthesis of Dipodazine Derivatives

A series of racemic dipodazine analogues 9 were prepared in 22–80% yield from (3Z,6RS)‐3‐[(dimethylamino)methylidene]‐6‐methyl‐1‐(phenylmethyl)piperazine‐2,5‐dione ( 7 ) (Scheme 1), which was prepared in four steps from (RS)‐alanine methyl ester hydrochloride. The preparation of nonracemic 7 from (S)‐alanine methyl ester hydrochloride failed, since the introduction of the enamino functionality at position 3 of the precursor 6 was accompanied by almost complete racemization.

Conversion of 3 to methyl (E)‐3‐(dimethylamino)‐2‐(6‐methoxy‐2‐phenylpyrimidin‐4‐yl)prop‐2‐enoate ( 4 ), followed by condensation with various dinucleophiles according to the ‘enaminone methodology’, afforded the target compounds 9 in medium‐to‐good yields.
