Nitration of 1,3-dihydro-2<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>-imidazo[4,5-<Emphasis Type="Italic">b</Emphasis>]pyridin-2-one derivatives

Nitration of 1,3-dihydro-2H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-2-one and its N-methyl derivatives at 0–5°C and 60°C gives 5-nitro-and 5,6-dinitro-1,3-dihydro-2H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-2-ones, respectively. The latter can also be obtained by nitration of 5-mononitro derivatives under similar conditions. The nitration of 6-chloro-and 6-bromo-1,3-dihydro-2H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-2-ones and their N-methyl-substituted analogs leads to the formation of the corresponding 6-chloro(bromo)-5-nitro compounds. The same products are formed in the nitration of 5,6-dichloro-and 5,6-dibromo-1,3-dihydro-2H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-2-ones. In this case, the process involves replacement of the halogen atom in position 5 of the pyridine fragment by nitro group. The nitration of 6-bromo-5-methyl-1,3-dihydro-2H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-2-one is accompanied by oxidation of the 5-methyl group to carboxy.     

Synthesis and antimicrobial activity of 2<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>-pyrimido[2,1-<Emphasis Type="Italic">b</Emphasis>]benzothiazol-2-ones

4-Phenyl-2H-pyrimido[2,1-b]benzothiazol-2-ones have been synthesized in quantitative yields by the reaction of 2-aminobenzothiazoles with alkynoic acid. The antimicrobial activity of the synthesized compounds was tested against bacterial species, Bacillus coagulans, Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The synthesized compounds have shown significant activity against microorganisms which can be correlated with the fused heterocyclic systems.     

Reactions of 1,3-Dialkyl-5-amino-1,3-dihydro-2<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>-imidazo-[4,5-<Emphasis Type="Italic">b</Emphasis>]pyridin-2-ones with acetylacetone and ethyl acetoacetate

1,3-Dialkyl-5-amino-1,3-dihydro-2H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-2-ones reacted with acetylacetone to give the corresponding 4-(1,3-dialkyl-2-oxo-1,3-dihydro-2H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-5-ylamino)pent-3-en-2-ones which underwent intramolecular cyclization to 1,3-dialkyl-5,7-dimethyl-1,3-dihydro-2H-imidazo[4,5-b]-[1,8]naphthyridin-2-ones on heating in polyphosphoric acid or diphenyl ether. Analogous reaction of 1,3-dialkyl-5-amino-1,3-dihydro-2H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-2-ones with ethyl acetoacetate led to the formation of ethyl 3-(1,3-dialkyl-2-oxo-1,3-dihydro-2H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-5-ylamino)but-2-enoates whose cyclization afforded 1,3-dialkyl-8-hydroxy-7-methyl-1,3-dihydro-2H-imidazo[5,4-b][1,8]naphthyridin-2-ones.     

Synthesis of naphtho[1,2-<Emphasis Type="Italic">e</Emphasis>]-pyrazolo[5,1-<Emphasis Type="Italic">b</Emphasis>][1,3]oxazines

The previously unknown heterocyclic system naphtho[1,2-e]pyrazolo[5,1-b][1,3]oxazine was synthesized by the condensation of 1-dimethylaminomethyl-2-naphthols with bromopyrazoles. It is proposed that the highly reactive o-methylenequinone of the naphthalene series is formed as an intermediate.

The reaction of 2,3-dibromo-1,4-naphthoquinone with 2-aminothiazole in MeONa/MeOH at 60oC for 3 h gave naphtho[2',3':4,5]imidazo[2,1-b][1,3]thiazole-5,10-dione in 64% yield. The reaction of 2,3-dibromo-1,4-naphthoquinone with 2-aminobenzothiazole under the above-mentioned conditions gave 2-(benzo[d]thiazol-2-ylamino)-3-bromonaphthalene-1,4-dione in 64% yield, which on treatment with Na/THF or NaN₃/acetone under reflux conditions gave naphtho[2',3':4,5]imidazo[2,1-b][1,3]- benzothiazole-7,12-dione in 69 and 56% yields, respectively.     

Alkylation of 2-(hydroxyimino)-5<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>-[1,3]thiazolo[3,2-<Emphasis Type="Italic">a</Emphasis>]-pyrimidin-3(2<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>)-ones

Diazomethane alkylated the initial substrate at the oxygen atom of the carbonyl group of the thiazolidine fragment, the other reagents, at the oxygen atom of the hydroxyimino group.     

Synthesis of 3,4-dihydro-2H-imidazo-[2,1-<Emphasis Type="Italic">b</Emphasis>][1,3,4]thiadiazines

Thiomethylene-active derivatives of N-imidazolylimines undergo intramolecular cyclization to give 3,4-dihydro-2H-imidazo[2,1-b][1,3,4]thiadiazines. This reaction is a new convenient method for the fusion of a dihydrothiadiazine ring to an imidazole fragment through formation of a C-C bond. __________ Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 9, pp. 1415–1423, September, 2007.

trans-3,4-Diamino-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidin-1-oxyl at the disstillation in a vacuum at >100°C suffered a partial thermal decomposition with the formation of two new nitroxyl radicals, bicyclic trans-2,2,4,6,6,8,8-heptamethyl-2,3,5a,6,7,8,9,9a-octahydro-1H-pyrido[4,3-b][1,4]diazepin-7-oxyl prevailing. This radical was also obtained by the reaction of the initial diaminopiperidinoxyl with mesityl oxide. According to XRD data the radical has trans-located substituents at the bridging bond of the bicycle. Taking into consideration the asymmetric atoms C^5a and C^9a the synthesized radical is a mixture of two enantiomers. Each of them in the crystalline state forms a pair of diastereomers distinguished by the position of the hydrogen atom at the atom N¹.

The first cyclic unsaturated S-functional derivatives of 4,4-diphenyl-3,4-dihydro-2H-1,4-thiasiline, S-oxide, S,S-dioxide, and S-sulfonimide, were prepared. Oxidation of the hydrolytically less stable 4,4-dimethyl-3,4-dihydro-2H-1,4-thiasiline leads to the corresponding sulfoxide and sulfone along with the ring opening products, siloxanes containing the sulfoxide or sulfonyl group.
