Three-component cyclization of 4-aryl-1,4-dihydrobenzo[4,5]imidazo[1,2-a][1,3,5]triazin-2-amines with formaldehyde and primary amines gave the corresponding 6-unsubstituted or 6-aryl-2-alkyl-2,3,4,6-tetrahydro-1H-[1,3,5]triazino[1′,2′:3,4][1,3,5]triazino[1,2-a]benzimidazoles.     

Some novel heterocyclic systems derived from 7-amino-2,3-dihydro-8-nitro-1H-pyrrolo[1,2-α]benzimidazole and the corresponding diamine

The preparation of 7-amino-2,3-dihydro-8-nitro-1H-pyrrolo[1,2-a]benzimidazole from 1,4-diacetamido-2,3-dinitrobenzene is described. Reaction of this compound with 2,5-dimethoxytetrahydrofuran produces 2,3-dihydro-8-nitro-7-N-pyrrolo-1H-pyrrolo[1,2-a]benzimidazole, which can be cyclised to produce two new heterocyclic ring systems, 9,10-dihydro-8H-pyrrolo[1,2-a]pyrrolo(1′,2′:1,2]imidazo[5,4-f]quinoxaline and 9,10-dihydro-8H-pyrrolo[2,1-c]pyrrolo[1′,2′:1,2]imidazo[4,5-h][1,2,4]benzotriazine. The corresponding diamine, 7,8-diamino-2,3-dihydro-1H-pyrrolo[1,2-a]benzimidazole undergoes a variety of condensation reactions to produce several new heterocyclic systems, for example, with formic acid, 1,7,8,9-tetrahydroimidazo-[4,5-e]pyrrolo[2,1-6]benzimidazole is formed and with diacetyl, 9,10-dihydro-2,3-dimethyl-8H-pyrrolo-[1′,2′:1,2]imidazo[5,4-y]quinoxaline is obtained.     

New polyheterocyclic series based on 4,5,6,7-tetrahydrothieno[2,3-c]pyridine

Synthesis of pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4-one derivatives

This paper describes one-pot synthesis of 5H-[1,3]thiazolo[3,2-a]pyrido[3,2-e]pyrimidin-5-one 4 , 5H-dipyri-do[1,2-a:3′,2′-e]pyrimidin-5-one 10 and 5H-pyrido[3,2-e]pyrimido[1,2-a]pyrimidin-5-one 15 and some of their derivatives, starting with 2-chloro-3-pyridine carboxilic acid 1. Compounds 4 and 10 reacted with phosphorus pentasulfide to give the respective 5-thione analogues, 5 from 4 and 11 from 10 . Boiling the 5-thione derivatives with hydrazine hydrate, the respective 5-hydrazono derivatives 6 from 5 and 12 from 11 were obtained. The 5-acetyl hydrazono, 7 , and the 5-isopropylidenehydrazono, 8 , derivatives were also prepared from 6 , and the 5-propionylhydrazono derivatives, 13 , from 12 . Compound 4 reacted with hydrazine to give an adduct with two molecules of hydrazine and the probable structure 16 . Treating this adduct with acetone a monohydrazone 17 was obtained. Boiling a suspension of this adduct in DMF, it gave 6,10-dihydro-6H-pyrido[3′,2′:5,6]pyrimido[2,1-c][1,2,4]triazin-5-one 20 .     

Synthesis of pyrimido[1,2-a]benzimidazoles from ethyl 2-ethoxymethylidene-3-oxo-3-(polyfluoroalkyl)propionates

Cyclization of ethyl 2-ethoxymethylidene-3-oxo-3-polyfluoroalkylpropionates with benzimidazol-2-amine in boiling 1,4-dioxane followed two concurrent pathways with participation of fluoroacyl and ethoxycarbonyl fragments and formation of, respectively, ethyl 4-hydroxy-4-polyfluoroalkyl-1,4-dihydropyrimido-[1,2-a]benzimidazole-3-carboxylates and 3-polyfluoroacylpyrimido[1,2-a]benzimidazol-4-ols. Dihydropyrimido[1,2-a]benzimidazole derivatives undergo dehydration to give ethyl 4-(polyfluoroalkyl)pyrimido[1,2-a]benzimidazole-3-carboxylates, whereas the hydroxy group in 3-polyfluoroacylpyrimido[1,2-a]benzimidazol-4-ols is capable of being replaced by the amino group of the second benzimidazole molecule with formation of 4-(1H-benzimidazol-2-ylamino)-3-polyfluoroacylpyrimido[1,2-a]benzimidazoles.     

Investigation of the reactions of fluorine containing 3-hydrazino-5H-1, 2, 4-triazino[5, 6-b]indoles with ethyl acetoacetate. Synthesis of some novel tetracyclic ring systems

Novel tetracyclic ring systems viz. 3-methyl-1-oxo-12H-1, 2, 4-triazepino[3′,4′:3, 4][1, 2, 4]triazino[5, 6-b]indole ( 4a ) and 3-methyl-5-oxo-12H-1, 2, 4-triazepino[4′,3′:2, 3][1, 2, 4]triazino[5, 6-b]indole ( 5a ), having angular and linear structures respectively, were synthesized by the cyclization of 3-oxobutanoic acid [5H-1, 2, 4-triazino-[5, 6-b]indole-3-yl]hydrazone ( 3a ). However, cyclization of 3b (R = CH_a, R¹ = R² = H) afforded the angular product 4b exclusively. Moreover, cyclization of 3c (R = R³ = H, R¹ = F) yielded 7-fluoro-1-0xo-10H-1, 3-imidazo[2′,3′:3, 4][1, 2, 4]triazino[5, 6-b]indole ( 6c ) and 7-fluoro-3-oxo-10H-1, 3-imidazo[3′,2′:2, 3][1, 2, 4]triazino-[5, 6-b]indole ( 7c ) instead of the expected triazepinone derivatives. Compound 3d (R = R¹ = H, R² = CF₃) also gave an imidazole derivative but only one angular product was obtained. In all these reactions, formation of the angular product involving cyclization at N-4 is favoured. Characterization of these products have been done by elemental analyses, ir, pmr, ¹⁹F nmr and mass spectral studies.

The structures of products 8, 9, 14 and 15 and the intermediates leading to them were confirmed by desulfurization, unequivocal syntheses and nmr spectroscopy as well.     

Synthesis of tricyclic and tetracyclic thieno[3,2-f]-1,4-thiazepines

Treatment of 5-methylthio-2,3-dihydrothieno[3,2-f]-1,4-thiazepine ( 9 ) with acylhydrazines gave 5,6-dihydrothieno[3,2-f]-1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-d][1,4]thiazepines 10, 11 , and that of 9 with ethyl anthranilate gave 5,6-dihydrothieno[3′,2′:6,7][1,4]thiazepino[5,4-b]quinazolin-8-one ( 14 ). Reaction of 9 with hydrazine hydrate or 4-chlorophenylhydrazine afforded 5-hydrazino compounds 12, 15 , which were subsequently cyclized to ethyl 5,6-dihydrothieno[3,2-f]-1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-d][1,4]thiazepine-3-carboxylate ( 13 ), 2-(4-chlorophenyl)-5,6-dihydrothieno[3,2-f]-1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-d][1,4]thiazepin-3(2H)-one ( 16 ) and 2-(4-chlorophenyl)-6,7-dihydro-2H-thieno[3,2-f][1,2,4]triazino[4,3-d][1,4]thiazepine-3,4-dione ( 17 ). New thieno-anellated heterocycles were prepared with the aim of studying their affinity for the benzodiazepine receptors.

However, anhydrides I react with o-aminophenol and with o-aminothiophenol to give carboxyindole-acetanilide derivatives IX, which can be cyclised to indolo[2′,3′:4,5]pyrido[2,1-b]benzoxazolone and indolo[2′,3′:4,5]pyrido[2,1-b]benzthiazolone (XI). Some derivatives of II and V were prepared to help in elucidating the structures.

3,4,4,5-Tetrachloro-4H-1,2,6-thiadiazine was reacted with BnEt₃NCl (10?mol%) to give perchloro-9-thia-1,5,8,10-tetraazaspiro[5.5]undeca-1,4,7,10-tetraene (up to 18% yield), 4,5,6-trichloropyrimidine-2-carbonitrile (up to 44% yield) and four minor side products: 2,7-dichlorothiazolo[5,4-d]pyrimidine-5-carbonitrile, 2-(4-chloro-6H-thiazolo[5,4-c][1,2,6]thia-diazin-6-ylidene)malononitrile, 4,8-dichloropyrrolo[2′,1′:2,3]imidazo[4,5-c][1,2,6]thiadiazine-6,7-dicarbonitrile and 4,7-dichloro-[1,2,6]thiadiazino[3,4-b]thiazolo[5,4-e][1,4]diazepin-9(10H)-one. Single crystal X-ray studies support the structures of the minor products. Tentative rationale for the formation of these minor products and the synthesis of 8-bromo-4-chloropyrrolo[2′,1′:2,3]imidazo[4,5-c][1,2,6]thiadiazine-6,7-dicarbonitrile are presented.     

The synthesis of novel polycyclic heterocyclic ring systems via photocyclization. 6. Naphthothienonaphthyridines

Five novel polycyclic heterocyclic ring systems are reported via photocyclization. The specific final products in these ring systems are: naphtho[1′,2′:4,5]thieno[2,3-c][1,8]naphthyridin-6(5H)-one ( 5 ), naphtho-[1′,2′:4,5]thieno[2,3-c][1,6]naphthyridin-6(5H)-one ( 6 ), naphtho[1′,2′:4,5]thieno[2,3-c]-1,5-naphthyridine ( 9 ), naphtho[1′,2′:4,5]thieno[2,3-c][1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]-1,5-naphthyridine ( 12 ), and naphtho[2′,1′:4,5]thieno[2,3-c]-1,5-naphthyridine ( 17 ). The direction of photocyclization to produce 9 was established from a zero quantum two-dimensional nmr spectroscopy experiment (ZQCOSY) using 6-chloronaphtho[1′,2′:4,5]thieno[2,3-c]-1,5-naphthyridine ( 8 ) as the model compound.

An auto oxidation-rearrangement product 4 was isolated from a high dilution reaction of ninhydrin with 3,4,5-trimethoxyaniline in water. A general synthesis of this compound and its derivatives 4–6 was devised by oxidation of tetrahydroindeno[1,2-b]indol-10-ones 1–3 with sodium periodate to give isoindolo[2,1-a]-indole-6,11-diones 4–6 in good yield. Compounds 4–6 can be easily transformed into spiro[1H-isobenzofuran-1,2′-2H-indole]-3,3′-diones 8–10 , spiro[2H-indole-2,1′-1H-isoindole]-3,3′-diones 11–13 and isoindole[1,2-a:2′,1′-b]pyrimidine-5,15-diones 15, 16 in high yields. Analogous reactions were performed on 3-amino-5a, 10a-dihydroxybenzo[b]indeno[2,1-d]furan-10-one ( 17 ) to give a dibenzoxocintrione 18 , spiro-[benzofuran-2,1′-isobenzofuran]-3,3′-dione 19 and an isoindol-1-one 20 .     

Synthesis and reactions of 3-thioxo[1,2,4]-triazino[3,2-b]quinazolin-10-ones

Thiation of [1,2,4]triazino[3,2-b]quinazoline-3,10-dione 1 proceeds selectively to give the 3-thioxo-analog 3 . The latter was converted to the corresponding 3-methylthio derivative 4 which was reacted with aniline and hydrazine to give the corresponding anilino- and hydrazino derivatives 5 and 7 . Compound 7 was converted to the hydrazones 8a,b and into the novel heterocyclic ring systems [1,2,4]triazolo[4′,3′:4,5][1,2,4]triazino-[3,2-b]quinazolin-7-ones 9, 10a,b and tetrazolo[1′,5′:4,5][1,2,4]triazino[3,2-b]quinazolin-7-one 11 .

The reaction of 3 -amino-1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-a]quinoline ( II ) with diethyl ethoxymethylenemalonate and ethyl acetoacetate/ethyl trifluoroacetoacetate afforded 10-carboethoxy-9-oxo-9H-pyrimido[1′,2′:1,5][1,2,4]triazolo-[4,3-a]quinoline ( III ) and 11-methyl/trifluoromethyl-9-oxo-9H-pyrimido[1′,2′:1,5][1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]quinoline ( IV/V ) respectively. 2-Chloropyridine-3-carboxylic acid chloride reacted with II to yield 5-oxo-5H-pyrido-[3″,2″:5′,6′]pyrimido[1′,2′:1,5][1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]quinoline ( VII ), a new ring system.     

Nitrogen bridgehead compounds. Part 86. Synthesis and reactivity of 7,12-dihydropyrimido[1′,2′;1,2]pyrido[3,4-b]indol-4(6H)-ones. Debenzologues of rutaecarpine alkaloids

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.

Novel pyrazolo[1′,5′:3,4][1,2,4]triazino[5,6-b][1,5]benzoxazepines 5, 6 and 8 were synthesized, and these compounds were converted into novel spiro[benzoxazole-2′,4(1H,3′H)-pyrazolo[5,1-c][1,2,4]triazines] 7 and 9 by ring transformation.     

Cyclocondensation of 3-amino-2-iminonaphtho[1,2-d]thiazole with oxalic acid derivatives

Refluxing 3-amino-2-iminonaphtho[1,2-d]thiazole ( 1 ) with diethyl oxalate ( 2a ) in a 2:1 molar ratio in dry pyridine provided 2,2′-binaphtho[1′,2′:4,5]thiazolo[3,2-b][1,2,4]triazole ( 3 ). On the other hand, when 1 was treated with excess amount of 2a in dimethylformamide, it afforded ethyl naphtho[1′,2′:4,5]thiazolo[3,2-b][1,2,4]triazole-2-carboxylate ( 4a ) on heating and ethyl N-(2-iminonaphtho[1,2-d]thiazol-3-yl)oxamate ( 5 ) by stirring at room temperature. Cyclization of 5 upon fusion led to the formation of 3-hydroxy-2H-naphtho-[1′,2′:4,5]thiazolo[3,2-b][1,2,4]triazin-2-one ( 6 ). Compound 6 could also be prepared directly from 1 by refluxing either with 2a neatly, in glacial acetic acid or with oxalic acid ( 2b ) in the same medium. The acid form of 4a might be obtained from 1 and 2b on heating in dimethylformamide, but it was decarboxylated to naphtho-[1′,2′:4,5]thiazolo[3,2-b][1,2,4]triazole ( 4b ) during the reaction.
