Synthesis and oxidation of aromatic substituted 6,7-dihydropyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidines

Condensation of 5-amino-3-methylpyrazole with chalcone or dypnone gives aromatic substituted 6,7-dihydropyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidines which undergo air oxidation. An x-ray structure for 2-methyl-6-hydroxy-5,7-diphenyl-6,7-dihydropyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine is reported.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 1, pp. 109–114, January, 1993.     

Interaction of aminoazoles with Meldrum’s acid and dialkyl ketones or cyclohexanone

Interaction of 3-amino-5-methylpyrazole, 3-amino-5-methylthio-, and 3,5-diamino-1,2,4-triazole with Meldrum’s acid, acetone, ethyl methyl ketone, and cyclohexanone leads to alkyl-substituted pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridin-6-ones and 1,2,4-triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidin-7-ones respectively. The structure of 5,5-dimethyl-2-methylthio-4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-1,2,4-triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidin-7-one was demonstrated by an X-ray structural investigation. __________ Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 4, pp. 595–601, April, 2007.     

Cyclocondensation of 2-Aminobenzimidazole with Dimedone and Its Arylidene Derivatives

The reactions of 2-aminobenzimidazole with substituted benzaldehydes and dimedone, 2-arylidene derivatives of dimedone, 9-arylhexahydro-1H-xanthene-1,8(2H)-diones and also with dimedone and DMF have been studied. The direction of formation of the pyrimidine ring has been established and discussed. An X-ray structural investigation of 2,2-dimethyl-2,3-dihydrobenzimidazo[1,2-a]quinazolin-4(1H)-one has been carried out.     

Reactions of 4,7‐dihydro‐1,2,4‐triazolo[1,5‐a]pyrimidines with α,β‐unsaturated carbonyl compounds

The reaction of 5,7‐diphenyl‐4,7‐dihydro‐1,2,4‐triazolo[1,5‐a]pyrimidine ( 1 ) with α,β‐unsaturated carbonyl compounds 2a‐f led to the formation of the alkylated heterocycles 3a‐f (Figure 1). However, the reaction of 5‐methyl‐7‐phenyl‐4,7‐dihydro‐1,2,4‐triazolo[1,5‐a]pyrimidine ( 5 ) with 2a‐c yielded under the same conditions the triazolo[5,1‐b]quinazolines 6a‐c (Figure 3). In this case, the alkylation is followed by a cyclocondensation. The structure elucidation of the products is based on ir, ms, ¹H and ¹³C nmr measurements and on an X‐ray diffraction study.     

Conformational analysis of 5,6-dihydropyrimidine and its derivatives

The equilibrium geometry and inversion barriers of 5,6-dihydropyrimidine, 6,7-dihydroazolopyrimidines with node nitrogen atoms and their alkyl (Me, Et, Prⁱ, Bu^t) and phenyl derivatives were calculated using a molecular mechanics approach. Annelation with azole cycles and the introduction of substituents have a slight effect on the equilibrium conformation of the dihydrocycle (distorted sofa). Alkyl substutuents at saturated carbons have an essentially equatorial orientation in 5,6-dihydropyridimine derivatives and are axial in the annelated analogs. On the other hand, the equatorial conformers are more stable in phenyl derivatives of dihydroazolopyrimidines. Factors determining the relative stability of conformers were analyzed.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk. Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 3, pp. 487–491, March, 1995.     

2-Methylthio-4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-1,2,4-triazolo[1,5-<Emphasis Type="Italic">a</Emphasis>]pyrimidin-5- and -7-Ones

The cyclocondensation of methylcinnamates and arylidene derivatives of Meldrums acid with 3-amino-5-methylthio-1,2,4-triazole in DMF gives 2-methylthio-4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-1,2,4-triazolo[1,5-a]-pyrimidin-5-ones. The reaction involving arylidene derivatives of Meldrums acid or its synthetic equivalents in ethyl acetate with a catalytic amount of pyridine gives a mixture of 2-methylthio-4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-1,2,4-triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidin-5- and -7-ones.__________Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 2, pp. 246–251, February, 2005.     

Diversity oriented heterocyclizations of pyruvic acids,aldehydes and 5-amino-<Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-aryl-1<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>-pyrazole-4-carboxamides: catalytic and temperature control of chemoselectivity

Heterocyclization reactions of pyruvic acids, aromatic aldehydes and 5-amino-N-aryl-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxamides yielding four different types of final compounds are described. The reactions involving arylidenpyruvic acids lead with high degree of selectivity to either 4,7-dihydropyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine-5-carboxylic acids or 5-[(2-oxo-2,5-dihydrofuran-3-yl)amino]-1H-pyrazoles, depending on the catalyst type or temperature regime. The interactions based on arylpyruvic acids can take place under kinetic or thermodynamic control producing 7-hydroxy-4,5,6,7-tetrahydropyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine-7-carboxylic acids or 3-hydroxy-1-(1H-pyrazol-5-yl)-1,5-dihydro-2H-pyrrol-2-ones, respectively.     

Cyclocondensation of chalcones with 2-amino- and 1,2-diaminobenzimidazoles

2,4-Diaryl-1,4-dihydropyrimido[1,2-a]benzimidazoles were obtained by the reaction of 2-aminobenzimidazole with chalcones, and their heteroaromatization was accomplished. The condensation of 1,2-diaminobenzimidazole with unsymmetrically substituted chalcones, which leads to substituted pyrimido-[1,2-a]benzimidazoles, was studied. The specificity of this reaction was ascertained by means of alternative synthesis.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 8, pp. 1071–1075, August, 1989.

Derivatives of 1,2-dihydroquinoxaline were synthesized. The direction of the reaction of unsymmetrical diaroylethylenes with o-phenylenediamine was shown by chemical and spectral methods and the reaction mechanism was discussed.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 5 pp. 656–661, May, 1986.
