Synthesis of substituted [1,3]thiazolo[4,5-b]pyridines and [1,3]thiazolo[4,5-d][1,2,3]triazines

In this work, we described an easy preparation of substituted 4-amino-5-cyano-1,3-thiazoles. These compounds have been used as starting materials to obtain two classes of compounds. New substituted [1,3]thiazolo[4,5-e]pyridines were synthesized in one step via Friedländer reaction. Diazotation of 4-amino-5-cyano-1,3-thiazoles afforded 4-chloro[1,3]thiazolo[4,5-d][1,2,3]triazines in one step. The later was substituted by a secondary amine to obtain substituted 4-amino[1,3]thiazolo[4,5-d][1,2,3]triazines.     

Facile synthesis of spiro[benzo[e]indole-2,2′-piperidine] derivatives and their transformation to novel fluorescent scaffolds

The reaction of azaheterocyclic enamines with acrylamide was employed for the preparation of novel fluorescent scaffolds possessing a benzo[e]indoline moiety. Reaction of 3-substituted 2-methylidene-1H-benzo[e]indole with acrylamide gave rise to spiro[benzo[e]indole-2,2′-piperidin]-6′-ones. Ring opening reactions of the latter spiro compounds were investigated. Benzo[e]indoline derivatives possessing 2-(3-carbamoylpropyl), 2-[3-(ethoxycarbonyl)propyl] and 2-(4-aminobutyl) side chains were synthesised. The optical properties of the benzo[e]indoline derivatives were studied by UV-vis and fluorescence spectroscopy.

Synthesis of 1,3-disubstituted benzo[c]thiophene analogs incorporating heterocycles such as benzo[b]thiophene/1-hexylindole/benzo[b]furan and thiophene units is described. Optical and electrochemical studies of the benzo[c]thiophene analogs are also reported.     

Efficient synthesis of 5,6-dihydro-8H-[1,2,4]thiadiazino[6,5,4-de]phenanthridine 4,4-dioxide and 5,6-dihydro-8H-[1,2,4]-thiadiazino[6,5,4-ij]thieno[2,3-c]quinoline 4,4-dioxide

The four cyclic systems are achieved by a three-step synthesis proceeding under mild conditions in high yields.     

Probing the spatial requirements for [60]fullerene-[60]fullerene π-stacking and the syn addition of [60]fullerenes across acenes

The reaction between 2 equiv of [60]fullerene and 6,8,15,17-tetraphenylheptacene-7,16-quinone leads to both cis and trans-bis[60]fullerene adducts. This result contrasts sharply with the highly diastereoselective syn additions of [60]fullerenes across 6,13-diphenylpentacene and 6,8,15,17-tetraphenylheptacene. The importance of spatially dependent [60]fullerene-[60]fullerene π-stacking interactions in promoting a syn addition of [60]fullerenes is discussed.

An efficient synthesis of spiro[dibenzo[b,i]xanthene-13,3′-indoline]-pentaones and 5H-dibenzo[b,i]xanthene-tetraones

Spiro[dibenzo[b,i]xanthene-13,3′-indoline]-pentaones and 5H-dibenzo[b,i]xanthene-tetraones are synthesized from the condensation of 2-hydroxynaphthalene-1,4-dione with isatins or aldehydes.     

Microwave-assisted synthesis of novel N-(4-phenylthiazol-2-yl)-benzo[d]thiazole-, thiazolo[4,5-b]pyridine-, thiazolo[5,4-b]pyridine- and benzo[d]oxazole-2-carboximidamides inspired by marine topsentines and nortopsentines

We report the synthesis of novel N-(4-phenylthiazol-2-yl)-substituted benzo[d]thiazole-, thiazolo[4,5-b]pyridine-, thiazolo[5,4-b]pyridine- and benzo[d]oxazole-2-carboximidamides, which were inspired by marine topsentines and nortopsentines. Condensation of 4,5-dichloro-1,2,3-dithiazolium chloride (Appel salt) with various ortho-halogenated anilines, aminopyridines and aminophenols gave the corresponding aryliminodithiazoles in good to excellent yields. Copper(I)-mediated or nucleophilic-assisted cyclization of aryliminodithiazoles furnished cyano-functionalized benzo[d]thiazoles, thiazolo[4,5-b]- and thiazolo[5,4-b]-pyridines and benzo[d]oxazoles. The latter were condensed with substituted 4-phenylthiazol-2-amines to furnish twenty seven new polyaromatic carboximidamides in moderate to good yields.

A series of pyrazolo[4,3-e][1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-c]pyrimidines were prepared via oxidative cyclization of aldehyde N-(1,3-diphenylpyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-4-yl)hydrazones. Dimroth rearrangement of such a series yielded pyrazolo[4,3-e][1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-c]pyrimidines.

Synthesis of mesoionic[1,2,3]triazolo[5,1-d][1,2,5]triazepines

Intramolecular cyclization of 1-amino-3-phenacyl-4-carbohydrazido-1,2,3-triazolium-5-olates has been shown to take place via selective interaction of the carbonyl group with the terminal amino function of the hydrazido group to form a 1,2,5-triazepine ring. Minor products, resulting from the interaction of the α-nitrogen atom of the hydrazido group with the carbonyl function, having a N-amino-pyridazine structure were also detected and isolated. A general method for the synthesis of novel mesoionic 2-amino-7-aryl-4-oxo-2,4,5,8-tetrahydro[1,2,3]triazolo[5,1-d][1,2,5]triazepin-9-ium-3-olates was developed.

The optical and electrochemical studies of these diarylbenzo[c]selenophenes are correlated with their structures.     

Synthesis of pyrrolo[3,4-b]pyrroles and perhydrothiazolo[3′,4′-2,3]pyrrolo[4,5-c]pyrroles

The 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reactions of various N-tethered alkenyl aldehydes with some cyclic and acyclic amino acids have been studied. Some key sulfonamides having strategically positioned aldehyde and olefinic tether have been synthesized and effectively subjected to intramolecular azomethine ylide cycloaddition reaction resulting in a series of pyrrolo[3,4-b]pyrrole and its N-1-C-2 derivatives, and a series of novel heterotricyclic compounds, perhydrothiazolo[3′,4′-2,3]pyrrolo[4,5-c]pyrroles, in good yields. The intramolecular cycloaddition reaction was found to be highly stereoselective to form only cis-fused cycloadducts in all cases.     

Synthesis of tricyclic isoindoles and thiazolo[3,2-c][1,3]benzoxazines

The thermolysis of (3R,9bS)-5-oxo-2,3,5,9b-tetrahydrothiazolo[2,3-a]isoindole-3-carboxylic acids in Ac₂O led to novel 3-methylene-2,5-dioxo-3H,9bH-oxazolo[2,3-a]isoindoles and chiral (9bS)-5-oxo-2,3,5,9b-tetrahydrothiazolo[2,3-a]isoindoles were obtained on FVP. Starting from l-cysteine methyl ester (3R,10bR)-5-oxo-2,3-dihydro-10bH-[1.3]thiazolo[3,2-c][1,3]benzoxazines were obtained as single stereoisomers. The thermolysis of (3R,10bR)-5-oxo-2,3-dihydro-10bH-[1.3]thiazolo[3,2-c][1,3]benzoxazine-3-carboxylic acid in Ac₂O gave 5-acetyl-2-phenyl-2,3-dihydrothiazole. The structures of methyl (3R,9bS)-5-oxo-2,3,5,9b-tetrahydrothiazolo[2,3-a]isoindole-3-carboxylate 1a and methyl (2R,4R)-N-chlorocarbonyl-2-(2-hydroxyphenyl)thiazolidine-4-carboxylate 9 were determined by X-ray crystallography.

Chromones bearing electron-withdrawing substituents at the 2- or 3-position react with nonstabilized azomethine ylides to produce 1-benzopyrano[2,3-c]pyrrolidines in good yields. Reactions of 3-cyanochromones proceed diastereoselectively to give 1-benzopyrano[2,3-c]pyrrolidines and tetrahydro-1H-spiro[chromeno[2,3-c]pyrrol-9,5′-oxazolidine]-9a-carbonitriles, depending on the reactant ratio, as a result of a 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of the azomethine ylide at the double bond and carbonyl group of the chromone system. The latter undergoes demethylenation and recyclization into a novel hexahydrochromeno[2,3-c:3,4-c′]dipyrrole tetracyclic system on heating with hydrochloric acid.
