Synthesis of New Pyrido[2′,3′:3,4]pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidines and Their Use in the Preparation of Tetraheterocyclic Systems

8,10-Dimethyl-3-(unsubstituted, methyl, ethyl, n-butyl, phenyl)-4-hydroxypyrido[2′,3′:3,4]pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidin-2(1H)-ones and 3-(2-hydroxyethyl)-2,8,10-trimethylpyrido[2′,3′:3,4]pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidin-4-ol were synthesized by cyclocondensation of 3-amine-4,6-dimethyl-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridine with ethyl malonates and α-acetyl-γ-butyrlolactone. Dichloro- and diazido- derivatives were obtained from the reaction of pyridopyrazlopyrimidine derivatives with POCl₃ followed by NaN₃. The tetrahetrocyclic systems were formed by cyclization of 4-chloro-3-(2-chloroethyl)-2,8,10-trimethylpyrido[2′,3′:3,4]pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine with the appropriate primary amines. The structures of all compounds were established by NMR and mass spectra.     

Synthesis of a rotenone-like benzopyranobenzopyranone

The synthesis of a novel rotenone-like molecule, 9-methoxy-8-methyl-6,6a,12,12a-tetrahydro[1]benzopyrano-[3,4-b][1]benzopyran-12-one ( 2 ) is described. Efficient syntheses of 3,4-dihydro-2H-[1]benzopyran-3-one ( 9 ) from ethyl 3-hydroxy-2H-[1]benzopyran-4-carboxylate ( 6 ), an intermediate in the synthesis of 2 , were developed. Thermolysis of 6 and 9 in decalin yielded 6,8-dihydro-14H-bis[1]benzopyrano[3,4-b:4′,3′-e]pyran-14-one ( 8 ), which has previously been described. Also produced in the thermolysis was the isomeric 1H-bis[1]-benzopyrano[3,4-b:3′,4′-á]pyran-7-(9H)one ( 10 ), the first member of a novel, pentacyclic ring system.

A series of 7,12-dihydropyrimido[1′2′:1,2]pyrido[3,4-b]mdole-4(6H)-ones was prepared by Fischer indolization of 9-arylhydrazono-6,7,8,9-tetrahydro-4H-pyrido[1,2-a]pyrirmdin-4-ones. Quantum chemical calculations (ab initio and AM1) indicate that position 3 of 7,12-dihydropyrimido[1′,2′:1,2]pyrido-[3,4-b]indole-4(6H)-one can be involved in electrophilic substitutions, while position 2 is sensitive towards nucleophilic attack. Bromination of 6-methyl-7,12-tetrahydropyrimido[1′,2′:1,2]pyrido-[3,4-b]indol-4(6H)-one 16 with bromine afforded 3-bromo derivative 25 , which was reacted with cyclic amines to give 2-ammo-7,12-dihydropyrirmdo[1′2′:1,2]pyrido[3,4-b]indol-4(6H)-ones 26–30 in an addition-elimination reaction. Vielsmeier-Haack formylation of compound 16 gave 12-formyl 31 and 3,12-diformyl 32 derivatives (an N-formyl-1-deaza derivative of nauclefidine alkaloid 34 ) at 60° and 100°, respectively. 3,12-Diformyl compound 32 was oxidized to 3-carboxyl derivative 33 with potassium permanganate. The quaternary salt 35 , obtained from compound 16 with dimethyl sulfate, suffered a ring opening on the action of aqueous sodium hydroxide. The new compounds have been characterized by elemental analyses uv, ¹H nmr and in some cases by ¹³C ruler, CD spectra and X-ray investigations.     

Studies in spiroheterocycles,Part XV. Investigation of the reaction of 3-(2-oxocycloalkylidene)-indol-2-ones with thiourea and urea derivatives

The reaction of 3-(2-oxocycloalkylidene)indol-2-one 1 with thiourea and urea derivatives has been investigated. Reaction of 1 with thiourea and urea in ethanolic potassium hydroxide media leads to the formation of spiro-2-indolinones 2a-f in 40–50% yield and a novel tetracyclic ring system 4,5-cycloalkyl-1,3-diazepino-[4,5-b]indole-2-thione/one 3a-f in 30–35% yield. 3-(2-Oxocyclopentylidene)indol-2-one afforded 5′,6′-cyclopenta-2′-thioxo/ oxospiro[3H-indole-3,4′(3′H)pyrimidin]-2(1H)-ones 2a,b and 3-(2-oxocyclohexylidene)indol-2-one gave 2′,4′a,5′,6′,7′,8′- hexahydro-2′-thioxo/oxospiro[3H-indole-3,4′ (3′H)-quinazolin]-2(1H)-ones 2c-f . Under exactly similar conditions, reaction of 1 with fluorinated phenylthiourea/cyclohexylthiourea/phenylurea gave exclusively spiro products 2g-1 in 60–75% yield. The products have been characterized by elemental analyses, ir pmr. ¹⁹F nmr and mass spectral studies.     

Studies on condensed heterocyclic compounds II.Synthesis and antibacterial activity of 3-(4''''-pyridyl)-6-aroylamino/arylamino-S-triazolo[3,4-b]-1,3,4-thiadiazoles

Umlagerungsreaktionen von (2′-Propinyl)cyclohexadienolen und -semibenzolen

Rearrangements of (2′-Propinyl)cyclohexadienols and -semibenzenes The acid-catalyzed dienol-benzene rearrangement of 3- and 5-methyl-substituted (2′-propinyl)cyclohexadienols has been investigated. Treatment of the dienols with CF₃COOH in CCl₄ yields allenyl- and (2′-propinyl)benzenes via [3,4]- and [1,2]-sigmatropic rearrangements, respectively. The reaction with H₂SO₄ in Et₂O leeds to a mixture of allenyl-, 2′-propinyl-, 3′-butinyl- and (2′,3′-butadienyl)benzenes (Scheme 3). The latter are products of a thermal semibenzene-benzene rearrangement (cf. Scheme 9). The corresponding semibenzenes have been prepared by dehydration of the cyclohexadienols with H₂SO₄ or POCl₃ (Schemes 6 and 7). Under acidic conditions, the p-(2′-propinyl)semibenzenes 33–35 (Scheme 8) undergo [3,4]- and [1,2]-sigmatropic rearrangements to give again allenyl- and (2′-propinyl)benzenes, whereas the thermal rearrangements to the 3′-butinyl- and (2′,3′-butadienyl)benzenes (Scheme 9) involves a radical mechanism. In contrast, the o-(2′-propinyl)semibenzene b (Scheme 7) leads to (2′,3′-butadienyl)benzene 32 via a thermal [3,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement.

The reactions of the pyrazole-5-diazonium salt 3 with malononitrile and ethyl cyanoacetate gave 4-amino-3-cyano-8-ethoxycarbonylpyrazolo[5,1-c][1,2,4]triazine 7 and 4-amino-3,8-bisethoxycarbonylpyrazolo[5,1-c]-[1,2,4]triazine 8 , whose reactions with p-chloroaniline hydrochloride afforded 4-amino-8-ethoxycarbonyl-3-(p-chlorophenyl)amidinopyrazolo[5,1-c][1,2,4]triazine 9 and 4-amino-8-ethoxycarbonyl-3-(p-chlorophenyl)car-bamoylpyrazolo[5,1-c][1,2,4]triazine 10 , respectively. The reactions of 7 and 8 with o-phenylenediamine di-hydrochloride provided 9-ethoxycarbonyl-13H-spiro[benzimidazole-2′(3′H),6(5H)-pyrazolo[1,5′:3,4][1,2,4]tri-azino[5,6-b][1,5]benzodiazepine] hydrochloride 11a and 9-ethoxycarbonyl-6-oxo-13H-5,6-dihydropyrazolo-[1′,5′:3,4][1,2,4]triazino[5,6-b][1,5]benzodiazepine 12 , respectively.

In addition, the reaction of hydrazino derivative 12 with reagents such as formic acid and triethyl orthoformate yielded the fused tetraheterocyclic 8-cyano-9- ethoxy-5-(2′-nitrophenyl)- 7-phenylpyrido[3′,2′:4,5]thieno[2,3-e]-1, 2,4-triazolo[4,3-c]pyrimidine system 19 .

Aqueous glyoxal cyclized 2 into [1,2,5]thiadiazolo[3,4–6]-pyrazine ( 14 ). 3,4-Dichloro-1,2,5-thiadiazole 1,1-dioxide ( 18 ) reaeted with 2 to give 1,3-dihydro-bis[1,2,5]thiadiazolo[3,4-b:3′,4′-e]pyrazine 2,2-dioxide ( 19 ). The reaction of 2 with selenium oxyehloride led to [1,2,5]selenadiazolo[3,4-c] [1,2,5]thiadiazole ( 12 ). Ring closure of 2,3-diaminoquinoxaline ( 4 ) with thionyl chloride or selenium oxychloride gave [1,2,5]thiadiazolo-[3,4-b]quinoxaline ( 21 ) and [1,2,5]selenadiazolo[3,4-b]quinoxaline ( 22 ), respectively. Sulfurous acid reduced 21 to the 4,9-dihydro derivative 23 , which was reoxidized to 21 with chloranil. Aqueous hase hydrolyzed 21 to 4 via the hydrated intermediate 24 . Aqueous glyoxal cyclized 4 to the covalent hydrate of pyrazino[2,3-b]quinoxaline ( 26 ), 27 , which was dehydrated to 26 .
