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.

Saturated heterocycles, 68. Application of theSeth-Paul-Van Duyse equation,IX

The C=O stretching frequencies of 32 5,6-polymethylenepyrimidin-4(3H)-one (1a–1w) andcis-5,6-polymethylene-5,6-dihydropyrimidin-4(3H)-one (2a–2h) derivatives were measured in tetrachlormethane and in chloroform and correlated with the substituent constantsX ⁺ (R) in the sense of the modified and extendedSeth-Paul-Van Duyse equation. It was found that the C=O stretching frequency and the transmission of substituent effects through the heterocyclic ring are significantly influenced by the size of the fused hydrocarbon ring. Evidence was obtained that in molecules linked by intermolecular hydrogen bonds the substituent effects are transmitted to the C=O group predominantly via the C=N–C=C part of the pyrimidinone ring. In the free molecules the transmission of substituent effects takes place mainly through the NH group.

Zusammenfassung Es wurden die C=O-Streck-Frequenzen von 32 5,6-Polymethylenpyrimidin-4(3H)-onen (1a–1w) undcis-5,6-polymethylen-5,6-dihydropyrimidin-4(3H)-onen (2a–2h) in CCl₄ und CHCl₃ gemessen und mit den SubstituentenkonstantenX ⁺ (R) im Sinn der modifizierten und erweitertenSeth-Paul-Van Duyse-Gleichung korreliert. Es wurde festgestellt, daß die C=O-Streck-Frequenzen und die Übertragung von Substituenteneffekten durch den heterocyclischen Ring von der Größe des kondensierten Kohlenwasserstoffringes signifikant beeinflußt werden. Es konnte belegt werden, daß in Molekülen, die mit Wasserstoffbrücken verbunden sind, die Substituenteneffekte vorwiegend über den C=N–C=C-Teil des Pyrimidinonringes zur C=O-Gruppe übertragen werden. In den freien Molekülen erfolgt die Übertragung der Substituenteneffekte hauptsächlich über die NH-Gruppe.

A one-step preparation of pyrido[3,4-d]pyrimidine ring system by reaction of 5-formyl-1,3,6-trimethyl-pyrimidine-2,4(1H,3H)-dione with primary amines

6,7-Dihydropyrido[3,4-d]pyrimidine-2,4(1H,3H)-diones were obtained in high yields from the reaction of 5-formyl-1,3,6-trimethylpyrimidine-2,4(1H,3H)-dione ( 1 ) and primary amines. For this pyridopyrimidine synthesis the following reaction pathway is proposed; the [1,5]-hydrogen shift of 1 gives a 5,6-dihydro-5,6-dimethylenepyrimidine-2,4(1H,3H)-dione intermediate. The cycloaddition reaction of the intermediate with aldimines from 1 and the primary amines affords 5,6,7,8-tetrahydropyrido[3,4-d]pyrimidine-2,4(1H,3H)-diones, which are dehydrated to the final products.
