Abstract

The reaction of thionyl chloride with amidines 2, derived from N-benzimidazol-2-yl imidates 1, leads to [1,2,4,6]thiatriazino[2,3-a][1,3]benzimidazol-1(2H)-one 3 in good yields. [1,3,5]Thiadiazino[3,4-a][1,3]benzimidazol-2-imine 4 was prepared by condensation of NaSCN with benzimidazol-2-yl imidate 1. The isolated compounds 3 and 4 were identified by spectroscopic methods including IR, ¹H NMR, and ¹³C NMR as well as elemental analyses and MS of 3d and 4b.

Synthesis of New Furo[3,4‐b]quinolin‐1(3H)‐one Scaffolds Derived from γ‐Lactone‐Fused Quinolin‐4(1H)‐ones

In the context of our aim of discovering new antitumor drugs among synthetic γ‐lactone‐ and γ‐lactam‐fused 1‐methylquinolin‐4(1H)‐ones, we developed a rapid access to 5‐methyl‐1,3‐dioxolo[4,5‐g]furo[3,4‐b]quinoline‐8,9(5H,6H)‐dione ( 9 ) exploiting the γ‐lactone‐fused chloroquinoline 10 previously synthesized in our laboratory (Scheme 1). We also elaborated efficient synthetic methods allowing for a rapid access to two nonclassical bioisosteres of 9 , i.e., a deoxy and a carba analogue. The deoxy analogue 11 was prepared in two steps from the γ‐lactone‐fused quinoline 13 which was also the synthetic precursor of 10 (Scheme 1). The carba analogue 6,9‐dihydro‐5‐methyl‐9‐methylene‐1,3‐dioxolo[4,5‐g]furo[3,4‐b]quinolin‐8(5H)‐one ( 12 ) was easily prepared by HCl elimination from the 9‐(chloromethyl)dioxolofuroquinoline 15 , which was obtained via a three‐component one‐pot reaction from N‐methyl‐3,4‐(methylenedioxy)aniline (=N‐methyl‐1,3‐benzodioxol‐5‐amine; 16 ), commercially available chloroacetaldehyde, and tetronic acid ( 17 ) (Scheme 2).     

Synthesis of Certain 3-Aminopyrazolo[5,4-b]pyridine and 3,4-Substituted Pyrido[2′,3′：3,4]pyrazolo[5,1-c][1,2,4]triazine Derivatives

2-Thioxo-1,2-dihydropyridine derivatives 2a, 2b were reacted with methyl iodide to give 2-methylthiopyridines 3a, 3b, which were reacted with hydrazine hydrate to produce 3-aminopyrazolo[5,4-b]pyridines 4a, 4b. Compounds 4a, 4b were diazotized to afford the corresponding diazonium salts 5a, 5b, which were reacted with some active methylene compounds 6a-6h to give the corresponding pyrido[2′,3′ ： 3,4]pyrazole[5,1-c][1,2,4]triazines 7-14.     

A Facile Synthesis of Aryl‐Substituted Hydrazono‐Pyrazolyl[1,2,4]triazolo[3,4‐b][1,3,4][thiadiazol]‐coumarin Derivatives

Some inimitable and therapeutic coumarin‐substituted fused[1,2,4]triazolo‐[3,4‐b][1,3,4]thiadizole derivatives were synthesized by the cyclocondensation reaction of 2‐oxo‐2H‐chromene‐3‐carboxylic acid ( 1 ) and 4‐amino‐5‐hydrazinyl‐4H‐[1,2,4]‐triazole‐3‐thiol ( 2 ) by using phosphorous oxychloride as a cyclizing agent. This cyclized intermediate 3‐(3‐hydrazino‐[1,2,4]triazolo[3,4‐b][1,3,4]thiadiazol‐6‐yl)‐chromen‐2‐one ( 3 ) later condensation with various ethyl 2‐(2‐arylhydrazono)‐3‐oxobutanoates ( 4 ) in NaOAc/MeOH under reflux conditions afforded the corresponding new series of aryl‐substituted hydrazono‐pyrazolyl‐[1,2,4]triazolo[3,4‐b][1,3,4][thiadiazol]‐coumarin derivatives ( 5 ) in good to excellent yields. The structures of newly synthesized compounds were established on the basis of elemental analysis, IR, ¹H NMR and mass spectroscopic studies.     

Synthesis of 2,5‐Disubstituted Derivatives of Pyrano[2,3‐d][1,3]thiazines via the Interaction of 2‐Substituted 4‐Hydroxy‐6H‐1,3‐thiazine‐6‐ones with Aldehydes

A new and efficient route for the synthesis of derivatives of the poorly investigated pyrano[2,3‐d][1,3]thiazine heterocyclic system is disclosed. These compounds were prepared via annulation of 2‐aryl‐4‐hydroxy‐6H‐1,3‐thiazine‐6‐ones with aliphatic and aromatic aldehydes in the presence of pyridine. The method is general and versatile, and the interaction is independent on the nature of the aldehyde, the only exceptions being formaldehyde and salicylaldehydes.

A possible mechanism is proposed to account for the formation of the products. The biological activity of some of these products was also evaluated.

Cyclization of 5‐cyano‐1,6‐dihydro‐4‐methyl‐2‐phenyl‐6‐thioxopyrimidine 4 with excess of 85% hydrazine hydrate afforded the 3‐amino‐4‐methyl‐6‐phenylpyrazolo[3,4‐d]pyrimidine 5 , which can react with appropriate Mannich base derivatives 13a‐c and chalcones 27a,b to yield the corresponding 6,8‐disubstituted 7,8‐dihydropyrimido[2,3:4,3]pyrazolo[1,5‐a]pyrimidines 15a‐c and 30a,b , respectively. On the other hand, the 6,7,8‐trisubstituted pyrimido[2,3:4,3]pyrazolo[1,5‐a]pyrimidine derivatives 8a‐g, 20a‐e, 36 and 38 were obtained by treatment of compound 5 with appropriate 1,3‐diketones 6a‐g , 3‐dimethylamino‐1‐(substituted)prop‐2‐enones 18a‐e , 3‐aminocrotononitrile 3 , and ethoxymethylenemalononitrile 37 under acidic condition, respectively.

Finally, treatment of 10a, b with sodium nitrite (NaNO₂) afforded pyrazolo[3,4-d]triazines 20a, b. Structures of compounds were confirmed by their spectral data. These compounds were screened for their in vitro cytotoxic activities against human cancer cell lines (HepG-2 and MCF-7) using 3-[4,5-dimethyl-2-thiazolyl)-2,5-diphenyl-2H-tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay. The results reveal that, the compounds 14b and 14h were the most potent in comparison with doxorubicin. The structure–activity relationship was discussed.

The reaction of 3‐methylthiazolo[3,2‐a]benzimidazole‐2‐carboxylic acid ethyl ester (1) with hydrazine hydrate gives the hydrazide 2 which reacts with CS₂/KOH to afford the potassium salt 3. Treatment of 3 with l‐aryl‐2‐bromoethanones 4a,b afforded the 1,3‐thiazoline derivatives 6a,b, respectively, while the reaction of 3 with hydrazine hydrate afforded 1,2,4‐triazole‐3‐thione derivative 9. 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. Cyclization of the thiosemicarbazide derivative 16 with NaOH resulted in the formation of the 1,2,4‐triazole‐3‐thione derivative 18.
