Synthesis and antimicrobial evaluation of some 1,2,4‐triazole, 1,3,4‐oxa(thia)diazole,and 1,2,4‐triazolo[3,4‐b]‐1,3,4‐thiadiazine derivatives

3‐Methyl‐2‐benzofurancarboxylic acid hydrazide ( 2 ) reacts with carbon disulfide and pota‐ ssium hydroxide to give the corresponding potassium carbodithioate salt 3 . Treatment of the latter salt with hydrochloric acid, hydrazine hydrate, and with phen‐ acyl bromide afforded the corresponding 1,3,4‐oxadia‐ zole‐5‐thione 4 , 4‐amino‐1,2,4‐triazole‐5‐thione 5 , and thiazolidine‐2‐thione 9 derivatives, respectively. The reaction of either 1,3,4‐oxadiazole‐5‐thione 4 or 4‐amino‐1,2,4‐triazole‐5‐thione 5 with phenacyl bromide resulted in the formation of 1,2,4‐triazolo[3, 4‐b]‐1,3,4‐thiadiazine derivative 8 . Treatment of compounds 3 or 4 with hydrazonoyl halides 10a–d furn‐ ished the same 1,3,4‐thiadiazol‐2‐ylidene derivatives 11a–d . The 7‐arylhydrazono‐1,2,4‐triazolo[3,4‐ b ]‐1, 3,4‐thiadiazine derivatives 12a–d were obtained either by treatment of 4‐amino‐1,2,4‐triazole‐5‐thione 5 with hydrazonoyl halides 10a–d or by coupling of the 1,2,4‐triazolo[3,4‐b]‐1,3,4‐thiadiazine derivative 8 with diazonium salts. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

The novel and versatile cyanomethyl 2‐amino‐4‐methylthiazolyl ketone (5) was prepared by treatment of bromomethyl 2‐amino‐4‐methyl thiazolyl ketone (4) with potassium cyanide. Reaction of 5 with heterocyclic diazonium salts 6a,b and 10 afforded the corresponding hydrazones 7a,b and 11, respectively. Refluxing of the hydrazones in pyridine afforded the corresponding pyrazolo[5,1‐c]‐1,2,4‐triazine, 1,2,4‐triazolo[5,1‐c]‐1,2,4‐triazine, and 1,2,4‐triazolo[4,3‐a]benzimidazole derivatives 8a,b and 12, respectively, via intramolecular cyclization. Compound 5 coupled also with benzenediazonium chloride to afford the corresponding hydrazone 14, which is an excellent precursor for the synthesis of pyridazine‐6‐imine 17a and pyridazinone 17b. The pyridazine derivatives 17a,b were also prepared by an independent route, that is, the condensation with malononitriles and coupling with benzenediazonium chloride, followed by intramolecular cyclization. © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

The reaction of 9 with l‐aryl‐2‐bromoethanones 4a,b and with hydrazonyl chlorides 11a,b gave the 1,2,4‐triazolo[3,4‐b]‐1,3,4‐thiadiazine derivatives 10a,b and 12a,b, respectively. Treatment of hydrazide 2 with phenyl isothiocyanate in refluxing benzene gave the thiosemicarbazide derivative 16. The latter reaction gave 1,3,4‐oxadiazole derivative 17 when benzene was replaced by DMF.

Reaction of the cyanoacetamide derivative with dimethylformamide‐dimethylacetal (DMF‐DMA) afforded 2‐cyano‐N‐[1,2‐dihydro‐1,5‐dimethyl‐2‐phenyl‐3‐oxo‐pyrazol‐4‐yl]‐2‐(N,N‐dimethylamino)methylene acetamide in high yield. Treatment of the latter with 5‐aminopyrazole derivatives afforded the corresponding pyrazolo[2,3‐a]pyrimidines. 2‐cyano‐N‐[(1,2‐dihydro‐1,5‐dimethyl‐2‐phenyl‐3‐oxo‐3H‐pyrazol‐4‐yl)]acetamide also reacts with heterocyclic diazonium salts to give the corresponding pyrazolo[5,1‐c]‐1,2,4‐triazine derivatives. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Diaminomethylenehydrazones 17–19, of hindered acyclic ketones, gave 2‐methyl‐7‐methylthio[1,2,4]‐triazolo[1,5‐a][1,3,5]triazines 21–23 by the reaction with II as the main products with apparent loss of 2‐methylpropane from the potential precursor, 2‐tert‐butyl‐2‐methyl‐7‐methylthio[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5‐a]‐[1,3,5]triazines 20, in good yields.

Synthesis of Triazolo[1,5‐a]triazin‐7‐one Derivatives and Highly Functionalized [1,2,4]Triazoles

The synthesis of novel triazolo[1,5‐a]triazin‐7‐ones is presented. Starting from 3‐amino‐5‐sulfanyl‐1,2,4‐triazole, the synthetic sequence involved alkylation with benzyl bromide, reaction with p‐nitrophenyl chloroformate followed by treatment with a primary amine, and condensation with diethoxymethyl acetate.
