6-Amino-5-cyano-1H,4H-pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyrans

The reaction of 3-methyl-1-phenyl-5-pyrazolene with arylideneamino nitriles in alcohol leads to the formation of 3-methyl-4(1-aryl-2,2-dicyanoethyl)-5-pyrazolones, which are readily cyclized in the presence of bases to the corresponding 6-amino-5-cyano-3-methyl-4-aryl- 1H,4H-pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyrans. The structures of the intermediate and final products were confirmed by the IR, UV, PMR, and mass spectra.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 6, pp. 801–806, June, 1982.     

Synthesis of 3-aryl-6H-isoxazolo[3,4-d]pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridines and 3-aryl-6H-isoxazolo[5,4-d]pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridines

The synthesis and characterization of a number of 3-aryl-6H-isoxazolo[3,4-d]pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridines and 3-aryl-6H-isoxazolo[5,4-d]pyrazolo[3,4–6]pyridines from common precursors, 5-benzoyl-4-chloro-1H-pyrazolo-[3,4-b]pyridines, has been described.

Synthesis of 2-aryl-6,6-dimethyl-8-oxo-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-1,2,4-4H-triazolo[3,2-b]benzothiazoles and their 3-aryl-[3,4-b] isomers

Summary Condensation of 3-aryl-5-thio-1,2,4-4H-trizoles (2a–i) and 2-bromodimedone (3) inTHF/benzene gave 2-aryl-6,6-dimethyl-8-oxo-5a-hydroxy-5,5a,6,7,8,8a-hexahydro-1,2,4-4H-triazolo[3,2-b]benzothiazoles (5a–i). These were also obtained by a one step synthesis on heating a mixture of dimedone,NBS, and2a–i in benzene containing a trace of benzoyl peroxide. Thermal dehydration of5a–i inPPA/anhydrous ethanol yielded the corresponding 2-aryl-6,6-dimethyl-8-oxo-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-1,2,4-4H-triazolo[3,2,b]benzothiazoles (6a–i). The formation of [3,4-b] fused isomers (4a–i) during the reaction of2 with3 was ruled out by an unambiguous synthesis of8a–i. Antibacterial screening of selected compounds againstEscherichia coli andStaphylococcus aureus was not encouraging.

Synthese von 2-Aryl-6,6-dimethyl-8-oxo-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-1,2,4-4H-triazolo[3,2-b]benzothiazolen und ihrer 3-Aryl-[3,4-b]-Isomeren

Zusammenfassung Die Kondensation von 3-Aryl-5-thio-1,2,4-4H-triazolen (2a–i) mit 2-Bromdimedon (3) inTHF/Benzol ergab 2-Aryl-6,6-dimethyl-8-oxo-5a-hydroxy-5,5a,6,7,8,8a-hexahydro-1,2,4,-4H-triazolo[3,2-b]benzothiazole (5a–i). Dasselbe Ergebnis wurde durch Erhitzen einer Mischung von Dimedon,NBS und2a–i in Benzol unter Zusatz einer Spur Benzoylperoxid in einer einstufigen Synthese erreicht. Thermische Dehydrierung von5a–i inPPA/Ethanol(abs.) ergab die entsprechenden 2-Aryl-6,6-dimethyl-8-oxo-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-1,2,4-4H-triazolo[3,2-b]benzothiazole (6a–i). Die Bildung [3,4-b]-kondensierter Isomere (4a–i) während der Reaktion von2 mit3 konnte durch eine eindeutige Synthese von8a–i ausgeschlossen werden. Antibakterielles Screening ausgewählter Verbindungen gegenüberEscherichia coli undStaphylococcus aureus brachte keine ermutigenden Resultate.

A facile synthesis of novel 1-aryl-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-b]quinoxalines

The reactions of 3-methyl-2-oxo-1,2-dihydroquinoxaline 3 with chlorophenyl diazonium salts afforded the hydrazones 4a-c , whose chlorinations with phosphoryl chloride gave the dichlorides 5a-c .

Synthesis and structure of 1-aryl-2-acetonyl(2-phenacyl)-6,7,8,9-tetrahydropyrimido[4,5-b]quinolin-4-ones

On reaction with acylating agents 1-aryl-2-methyl-6,7,8,9-tetrahydropyrimido-[4,5-b]quinolin-4-ones are acylated at the methyl group; they also react with benzaldehyde. On the basis of the PMR and UV spectra it was concluded that 1-aryl-2-acetonyl(2-phenacyl)-6,7,8,9-tetrahydropyrimido[4,5-b]quinolin-4-ones exist in two tautomeric forms with strong intramolecular hydrogen bonds of the chelate type — enaminocarbonyl and enol.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 12, pp. 1649–1653, December, 1988.     

Optical spectra of some 6-styrylo-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-b]quinolines

It was proposed a method of synthesis several 6-styrylo1-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-b]quinolines as promising material for optoelectronics. Particularly, 6-styryl-1,3-diphenyl-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-b]quinolines were prepared by Wadsworth-Emmons reaction. One of advantageous of these materials is stability of their optical spectra versus the possible cis- and trans-transformation. Theoretical and experimental studies of optical absorption and photoluminescence excitation spectra for styryloquinolines were done. They show that the AM1 semi-empirical method gives better results compared to other approaches. We have found that the solvents do not play a role in the behavior of the spectra. The backside-substituted groups do not influence substantially the observed optical spectra.     

Synthesis of 4-aryl-2,3,6,7-tetrahydro-1H-pyrimido[4,5-b][1,4]-diazepin-6-ones from 4,5-diamino-1H-pyrimidin-6-ones and 1-aryl-3-(dimethylamino)-1-propanones

The reaction of 1-aryl-3-(dimethylamino)-1-propanones 1 with one equivalent of 4,5-diamino-1H-pyrimidin-6-ones 2 , in acidic medium, leads to the formation of 4-aryl-2,3,6,7-tetrahydro-1H-pyrimido[4,5-b]-[1,4]diazepin-6-ones 3 . The structure elucidation of the products is based on detail nmr analysis of experiments such as ¹³C, ¹H and DEPT including selective ¹³C{¹H} decoupling experiments.     

Synthesis of 6-aryl-3-cinchophenyl-1,2,4-triazolo[3,4-b]-1,3,4-thiadiazoles

In recent years, fused heterocycles have been found to possess many unique properties in synthesis and pharmacology. Especially, 1,2,4-triazolo[3,4-b]-1,3,4-thiadiazoles derivatives have been attracting much attention of chemists and pharmacologists because of their broad-spectrum biological activities such as antibacterial¹, hypotensive and CNS depressant² activities. We have prepared some 3,6-substituted 1,2,4-triazolo[3,4-b]-1,3,4-thiadiazoles and found that these compounds exhibited antimacrobial, insecticidal and promote plant growth.^3-5 Cinchophen had been used widely as medicine in clinic,but has been obsolete in recent years due to its by-effect. In order to seek for other uses of cinchophen, as a continuation of our preceeding studies, we used cinchophen as the starting material to synthesize ten new 6-aryl-3-cinchophenyl-l,2,4-triazolo[3,4-b]-l,3,4-thiadiazoles 5a-j. Compound 1 was prepared by the reaction of cinchophen and ethanol in the presence of sulfuric acid. 1 then reacted with hydrazine hydrate in absolute ethanol to give 2 which yielded 3 on treatment with CS₂ and KOH. On refluxing of 3 with excess hydrazine hydrate, 4 was obtained. 4 reacted with various substituted benzoic acids in the presence of POCl₃ to afifort 5a-j.     

Synthesis and herbicidal activity of novel 6-arylthio-3-methylthio-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-4(5H)-ones

A series of pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine-4-one derivatives was conveniently synthesized via tandem aza-Wittig and annulation reactions of the corresponding iminophosphoranes, arylisocyanate, and substituted thiophenols. The structures of the target compounds were confirmed by IR, ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, LC-MS, and elemental analysis. The preliminary bioassay demonstrated that some title compounds such as 6-(3-chlorophenylthio)-1-phenyl-3-methylthio-5-(4-chlorophenyl)-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-d]-pyrimidin-4(5H)-one and 6-(4-fluorophenylthio)-1-phenyl-3-methylthio-5-(3-chlorophenyl)-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-4(5H)-one showed good inhibition activities against the root of Brassica napus (rape) and Echinochloa crusgalli (barnyard grass) at a dosage of 100 mg/L.     

Synthesis of 1-aryl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-9H-pyrido[3,4-b]indoles (1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-β-carbolines) under high pressures

The reactions of aromatic aldehydes with tryptamine (1) in solvents of different polarity were studied. The yields of carbolines in the chosen media decrease with an increase in the donating properties of the aryl substituent, but they markedly increase at a high pressure (5 kbar), especially for compounds with electron-donating aryl groups. The phase transition of dioxane at 5 kbar also sharply increases the yields of the target products.

The novel 1H-pyrazolo[3,4-b]quinoxalines (flavazoles) 9–15 were synthesized from 3-methoxycarbonylmethylene-2-oxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoxaline 6 via a convenient hydrazone synthesis, and these flavazoles were clarified to have the antifungal activity.
