2-Methylthieno-, thionaphtheno-, and thienothienopyridines

A general method for preparing 2-methylthieno-, thionaphtheno-, and thienothienopyridines has been developed. 2-Methylthieno [2, 3-b]-, -[3, 2-b] pyridines and 2-methylthionaphtheno [2, 3-b]-, -[3, 2-b] pyridines, which are new heterocyclic bases with a condensed thiophene ring, have been synthesized. Certain constants of these heterocyclic bases are quite close to those of the quinaldine and 2-methylnaphthoquinolines which are isosteric with them.     

Structure and properties of 1- and 3-hydroxytriazolo [4,5-b] pyridines

It is shown that 1-hydroxytriazolo[4,5-b]pyridine exists in alcohol solution primarily in the N-oxide form, whereas 3-hydroxytriazolo[4,5-b]pyridine exists in the hydroxy form. 4-Methyl-triazolo[4,5-b]pyridine 1-oxide is formed in the methylation of 1-hydroxytriazolo[4,5-b]pyridine, whereas 3-methoxytriazolo[4,5-b]pyridine is formed in the methylation of 3-hydroxytriazolo[4,-5-b]pyridine.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 10, pp. 1418–1421, October, 1976.     

5α-androstano [3,2-b]pyridines, 5α-androstano[17,16-b]pyridines and androst-4 and 5-eno[17,16-b]pyridines

A new synthesis of 5α-androstano[3,2-b]pyridin-17β-ol acetate (VIa) and 17-methyl-5α-androstano[3,2-b]pyridin-17β-ol (VIb), first reported by Shimizu, Ohta, Ueno, and Takegoshi, was achieved. The analogous 5α - androstano[17,16-b]pyridin-3β-ol (XII), 5α-androstano[17,16-b]pyridin-3-one (XIVa), and androst-4-eno[17,16-b]pyridin-3-one (XIVb) were also prepared. An illustration of the method follows. Condensation of 3β-hydroxy-5α-androstan-17-one (VIIa) with 3-(2-furyl)acrolein afforded 16-[3-(2-furyl)-2-propenylidene]-3β-hydroxy-5α-androstan-17-one (VIIIa), the oxime (IXa) of which was thermally cyclized to 5α-androstano[17,16-b]-6′-(2-furyl)pyridin-3β-ol (Xa). 3β-Hydroxy-5α-androstano[17,16-b]pyridine-6′-carboxylic acid (XI) was obtained by ozonolysis of Xa. Thermal decarboxylation of XI gave XII. Cinnamaldehyde was used in place of 3-(2-furyl)acrolein to give the corresponding phenylpyridines.     

Synthesis and Reactions of Some New Oxazolo[4,5-b]Pyridines and Related Compounds

A series of 2-heterocyclicalkylthiooxazolo[4,5-b]pyridines have been prepared through the reaction of 2-(hydrazinocarbomethylthio)oxazolo[4,5-b]pyridine with the appropriate reagents. 2-Ethylthiooxazolo[4,5-b]pyridine has been successfully employed to synthesize some fused- triheterocyclic compounds.

Formation and Pyrolysis of 1-(2′-Thiazolo [5,4-b] Pyridyl)-5-Aryltetrazoles

1-(2′-Thiazolo [5,4-b] pyridyl)-5-aryltetrazoles (4) have been obtained by the reaction of 2-aroylaminothiazolo [5,4-b] pyridines (2) with phosphorus pentachloride and azidolysis of the resulting imidoyl chlorides. The products of pyrolysis of 1-(2′-thiazoio [5,4-b] pyridyl)-5-aryltetrazoles in decalin have been characterised as 2-aryl-1,2,4-triazolo [3′,2′:2,3]thiazolo[5,4-b] pyridines (6).     

Benzazoles and naphthazoles

Thiazolo[4,5-b]-2-pyridylhydrazine, which like 2-benzothiazolylhydrazine, undergoes autooxidation in ethanol solution to give a symmetrical 1,5-bis(thiazolo[4,5-b]-2-pyridyl)-3-methylformazan, was synthesized. Asymmetrical 1,5-dihetarylformazans were obtained by autooxidative coupling of 2-hydrazinobenzothiazole with acetaldehyde thiazolo[4,5-b]-2-pyridylhydrazone and 5-nitro-2-pyridyl hydrazone. Formazans containing a thiazolopyridine ring have more acidic character than benzothiazolylformazans.See [1] for communication XXXVIII.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 7, pp. 925–927, July, 1975.

Russian Chemical Bulletin - New dyes of the 3-[5-(4-alkyl-4H-thieno[3,2-b]indol-2-yl)thiophen-2-yl]-2-cyanoacrylic acid series were prepared based on 2-(thien-2-yl)-substituted thieno[3,2-b]indole...     

Heterocycles containing nitrogen and sulfur. Part 49.

The reaction of 4-methoxy-5-amino-6-mercaptopyrimidine with 2-oxo-1-chlorocyclopentyl(hexyl)glyoxalate esters gave derivatives of the previously unknown tetracyclic systems 1,2-dioxocyclopenta (hexa)[g]oxazolidino[3,2-f]pyrimido[4,5-b][1,4]thiazines, which are transformed by ammonium acetate into derivatives of 1,2-dioxocyclopenta(hexa) [g]imidazolidino[3,2-f]pyrimido[4,5-b]-[1,4] thiazines. Derivatives of the new tricyclic 1-oxazino [5,4-g]pyrimido[4,5-b][1,4]thiazine system were obrtained by reaction of 6-carbethoxy-7-acetylpyrimido [4,5-b] [1,4] thiazines with hydroxylamine.

Photochromic properties and reaction mechanism of naphthopyran

The photochromic properties and reaction mechanism of title compounds have been examined with steady method on compounds 3-phenyl-3-[3-methylbenzothiophene-2-yl]-3H-naphtho[2,1-b]pyran (1) and 3-phenyl-3-[benzofuran-2-yl]-3H-naphtho[2,1-b]pyran (2) and nanosecond laser flash photolysis techniques on compound 3-phenyl-3-[1,2-dimethylindol-3-yl]-3H-naphtho[2,1-b]pyran (3). The influence of oxygen on transient spectra and decay kinetics of compound 3 has been investigated. Both excited singlet state and triplet state are involved in the photochromic mechanism of compound 3. The influence of molecular structure on photochromic behavior has been studied also. Decay kinetics indicated that the lifetime of colored forms of 1 and 2 were several orders of magnitude longer than that of 3.     

Preparation of new nitrogen-bridged heterocycles. 59. Syntheses and intramolecular interactions of 3-(acylmethylthio)- and 3-[(3-ethoxycarbonyl-2-propenyl)thio]thieno[3,4-b]indolizine derivatives

Various thieno[3,4-b]indolizine derivatives having an acylmethylthio or (3-ethoxycarbonyl-2-propenyl)thio group at the 3-position which could not be obtained by a conventional method were prepared by a new procedure using cyanoethyl group as a protecting group and their intramolecular arene-pi interactions were investigated. In the (1)H-NMR spectra of these thieno[3,4-b]indolizines, the low-field shifts (delta 0.10-0.33 ppm) for the 5-protons were observed in comparison with those of 3-(methylthio)thieno[3,4-b]indolizines as a standard. The UV spectra also exhibited a characteristic absorption band at 425-445 nm attributable to the arene-pi interaction but their intensities were generally lower than those of 3-(arylmethylthio)thieno[3,4-b]indolizines. In their X-ray analyses, the anti conformation for 3-(acylmethylthio)thieno[3,4-b]indolizines and the gauche one for the 3-(3-ethoxycarbonyl-2-propenyl)thio derivatives were exhibited.     

Angular-shaped naphthodifurans, naphtho[1,2-b;5,6-b']- and naphtho[2,1-b;6,5-b']-difuran: are they isoelectronic with chrysene?

Although angular-shaped naphthodifurans, naphtho[1,2-b;5,6-b']- and naphtho[2,1-b;6,5-b']-difuran, are formally isoelectronic with chrysene as their thiophene counterparts, naphtho[1,2-b;5,6-b']- and naphtho[2,1-b;6,5-b']-dithiophene, the HOMO energy level of naphthodifurans is much higher than those of naphthodithiophenes and chrysene. The difference in electronic structure in the ground state can be explained by distinct electronic perturbation from the outermost aromatic rings.

The structures were established by comprehensive spectral analysis. The biosynthetic pathway leading to these 2-prenyl-dihydrofurochromone-type sesquiterpenoids is proposed based on their structures.

7-[1,3-Dithiolan-2-ylidene]-3-phenyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro[1,2,4]triazolo[3,4-b][1,3,4]thiadiazepine-6,8-dione and 7-[5-oxo-1,3-dithiolan-2-ylidene]-3-phenyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro[1,2,4]triazolo[3,4-b][1,3,4]-thiadiazepine-6,8-diones were obtained by treating 3-phenyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro[1,2,4]triazolo-[3,4-b][1,3,4]thiadiazepine-6,8-diones with CS₂ and chloroacetyl chloride, respectively. Treatment of the above compounds with mercaptoacetic acid gave 1,2-dibromoethane or the corresponding spiro polyfused heterocycles. Some other triazolothiadiazepine derivatives including spiro polyfused compounds were also synthesized. __________ Published in Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 8, 1256–1264, August, 2005.     

Imidazo[2,1-b]benzothiazoles. II. Synthesis and antiinflammatory activity of some imidazo[2,1-b]benzothiazoles

3-[2-[p-(Un)substituted phenyl]imidazo [2,1-b]benzothiazol-3- yl]propionic acid derivatives (2a--e) were prepared via the interaction of the corresponding 2-[p-(un)substituted phenyl]imidazo[2,1-b]benzothiazoles (1a--e) with acrylic acid in the presence of acetic anhydride and acetic acid. Esterification of 2a--e produced methyl esters (3a--e). Upon the interaction of 3a with m-chloroperbenzoic acid, the S-dioxide (4a) was obtained. Compound 5a was prepared from 4a by alkaline hydrolysis. Vilsmeier formylation for 1a--e produced novel [2-[p-(un)substituted phenyl]imidazo[2,1-b]benzothiazol-3- yl]formaldehyde derivatives (6a--e). Derivatives 6a--e reacted with ethyl bromoacetate to give ethyl 3-hydroxy-3-[2-[p-(un)substituted phenyl]imidazo[2,1-b]benzothiazol- 3-yl]propionate esters (7a--e). Compound dl-7a was resolved with l-(+)-tartaric acid. Compounds 2a--e showed weak or no activity in the carrageein-induced paw edema assay. Compound 4a significantly inhibited the leakage of pontamine-sky blue dye into the peritoneal cavity of mice, in the capillary permeability inhibition assay. Compound 5a inhibited the writhing by 62% in the acetic acid-induced writhing assay.     

A facile and convenient synthesis of novel imidazo[1,2-b] isoxazoles and their Mannich bases as potential biodynamic agents

A series of novel imidazo[1,2-b]isoxazoles 3 and their Mannich bases 4–6 were synthesized via convenient reactions. The reaction of 3-aminoisoxazole 1 with substituted phenacyl bromides 2 in dry ethanol afforded the corresponding 6-methyl-3-aryl imidazo[1,2-b]isoxazoles 3 in good yields.Compounds 3 on treatment with 37% formaline and secondary amines furnished the corresponding novel Mannich bases viz., 6-methyl-3-aryl-2-(morpholine/pyrrolidin-1-yl/piperidin-1-yl)-methyl-imidazo[1,2-b]isoxazoles 4–6.     

Ring contraction during the 6pi-electrocyclisation of naphthopyran valence tautomers

The thermal and photochemical ring-opening of spiro(3H-naphtho[2,1-b]pyran-3,9'-thioxanthene-10,10-dioxide) results in the facile ring-contraction to 9-(naphtho[2,1-b]furan-2-yl)-9H-thioxanthene-10,10-dioxide . Similar behaviour is displayed by the isomeric spiro(2H-naphtho[1,2-b]pyran-2,9'-thioxanthene-10,10-dioxide) affording 9-(naphtho[1,2-b]furan-2-yl)-9H-thioxanthene-10,10-dioxide , though more severe reaction conditions were required. The comparative ease of this rearrangement for the isomers and was rationalised on the basis of the relative isomer populations of the ring-opened naphthopyrans. The rearrangement of simple mono- and bis-methylsulfonylphenyl substituted photochromic naphthopyrans , was examined; the former failed to rearrange whereas the latter could be induced to rearrange only under prolonged UV irradiation. The photochromism of diastereoisomerically pure sulfoxides derived from the oxidation of spiro(3H-naphtho[2,1-b]pyran-3,9'-thioxanthene) and spiro(2H-naphtho[1,2-b]pyran-2,9'-thioxanthene) resulted in conversion to the most thermodynamically stable trans-isomer in each case.
