A convenient synthesis of 1,2,4-triazolo[4,3,2-o,p]-[1,3]diazocino[4,5-b]quinoxalines via a 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction and a ring transformation

The reaction of 6-chloro-2-hydrazinoquinoxaline 4-oxide 5 with triethyl orthoformate gave 7-chloro-1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-a]quinoxaline 5-oxide 6. The reaction of compound 6 with phenyl isocyanate afforded 7-chloro-4-phenylamino-1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-a]quinoxaline 7 , while the reaction of compound 6 with phenyl isothiocyanate resulted in deoxygenation to provide 7-chloro-1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-a]quinoxaline 8. However, the reaction of compound 6 with allyl isothiocyanate effected the 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction, but not deoxygenation, to furnish 9-chloro-4,5-dihydroisoxazolo[2,3-a][1,2,4]triazolo[3,4-c]quinoxalin-5-ylmethylisothiocyanate 9. Moreover, the reduction of compound 9 with iron/acetic acid resulted in ring transformation to give 11 -chloro-7-hydroxy-4-thioxo-4,5,6,7,8,9-hexahydro-1,2,4-triazolo[4,3,2- o,p][1,3]diazocino[4,5-b]quinoxaline 10 , whose acetylation afforded 5-acetyl-11-chloro-7-hydroxy-4-thioxo-4,5,6,7,8,9-hexahydro-1,2,4-triazolo[4,3,2-o,p][1,3]diazocino[4,5-b]quinoxaline 11.     

Synthesis and anticonvulsant activities of 5-(2-Chlorophenyl)-7H-pyrido[4,3-f][1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a][1,4]diazepines

A group of 5-(2-chlorophenyl)-10-(substituted)-7H-pyrido[4,3-f][1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a][1,4]diazepines 7a-c were synthesized by the acid catalyzed reaction of 5-(2-chlorophenyl)-2-hydrazino-3H-pyrido[3,4-e]-[1,4]diazepine ( 6 ) with either trimethyl orthoformate, triethyl orthoacetate or triethyl orthobenzoate, respectively. 5-(2-Chlorophenyl)-7H-pyrido[4,3-f][1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a][1,4]diazepine ( 7a ) and 5-(2-chlo-rophenyl)-10-methyl-7H-pyrido[4,3-f][1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a][1,4]diazepine ( 7b ) exhibited good anticonvulsant activity in the subcutaneous metrazol anticonvulsant screen which serves as a model for absence (petit mal) epilepsy.     

Selenium Dioxide–Mediated Synthesis of Fused 1,2,4-Triazoles as Cytotoxic Agents

A series of fused 1,2,4-triazoles has been prepared by oxidative intramolecular cyclization of heterocyclic hydrazones with selenium dioxide. General applicability of this practical protocol was confirmed by the synthesis of moderate to good yields of 1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-a]pyridines, 1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-a]pyrimidines, 1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-a]pyramidines, and 1,2,4-triazolo-[4,3-a]quinoxa lines. All compounds were tested in vitro for their cytotoxic activity against HCT-116, A549, and Colo-205 cell lines. Two compounds, 3-(4-methoxyphenyl)-7-methyl-[1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]pyridine and 1-(4-methoxyphenyl)-[1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]quinoxaline, showed potent antiproliferative activity against the three cell lines.     

A selective synthesis of 2-arylamino-4H-1,3,4-thiadiazino[5,6-b]-quinoxalines and mesoionic triazolo[4,3-a]quinoxaline

The reaction of the 6-chloro-2-(1-methyl-2-thiocarbamoylhydrazino)quinoxaline 4-oxides 3a-d with trifluoroacetic anhydride gave the 2-(N-aryl)trifluoroacetamido-8-chloro-4-methyl-4H-1,3,4-thiadiazino-[5,6-b]quinoxalines 7a-d , respectively, while the reflux of compounds 3a-c in N,N-dimethylformamide afforded the mesoionic triazolo[4,3-a]quinoxaline 4 . Hydrolysis of compounds 7a-d with triethylamine/water provided the 2-arylamino-8-chloro-4-methyl-4H-1,3,4-thiadiazino[5,6-b)]quinoxalines 8a-d , respectively.     

Reaction of azole condensed quinoxaline N-oxides with acetic anhydride

The reaction of 7-chlorotetrazolo[1,5-α]quinoxaline 5-oxide 6a with acetic anhydride gave 7-chloro-5-(7-chlorotetrazolo[1,5-α]quinoxalin-4-yl)-4,5-dihydro-4-oxotetrazolo[1,5-α]quinoxaline 7a , while the reaction of 7-chloro-1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-α]quinoxaline 5-oxide 6b with acetic anhydride afforded 7-chloro-5-(7-chloro-1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-α]quinoxalin-4-yl)-4,5-dihydro-4-oxo-1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-α]quinoxaline 7b and 7-chloro-4,5-dihydro-4-oxo-1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-α]quinoxaline 8b . The reaction of compound 6a or 6b with acetic anhydride/acetic acid provided 7-chloro-4,5-dihydro-4-oxo-tetrazolo[1,5-α]quinoxaline 8a or compound 8b , respectively.     

Synthesis and antiviral evaluation of some novel [1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-β][1,2,4]triazole nucleoside analogs

Compounds 4–6 were deprotected to 3-amino-1-β-D-ribofuranosyl[1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-b][1,2,4]-triazole ( 3 ), 3-amino-1-α-D-ribofuranosyl[1,2,4]triazolo[4,5-b][1,2,4]triazole ( 8 ), and 3-imino-2H-2-β-D-ribo-furanosyl[1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-b][1,2,4]triazole ( 9 ), while 7 could not be deprotected without decomposition. Compounds 1, 4, 6, 7 , and 9 were screened and found to have no antiviral activity.

 Reaction of 6-Amino-2-thiouracil with hydrazonoyl halides yielded regioselectively 7-amino-1,3-disubstituted-1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-a]pyrimidine derivatives. Upon treatment with methyl (Z)-2-benzoylamino-3-dimethylaminopropenoate, the corresponding methyl (Z)-2-benzoylamino-3-([1,2, 4]triazolo[4,3-a]pyrimidin-7-yl)-amino propenoates were obtained which cyclized in the presence of sodium ethoxide to afford novel derivatives of pyrido[2,3-d][1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]pyrimidine-5,6-(1H,8H)-diones.     

A Convenient Synthesis of NovelDerivatives of Pyrido[2,3-d][1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]pyrimidine-5,6-dione

New approaches to synthesis of tris[1,2,4]triazolo[1,3,5]triazines

Thermal cyclization of 3-R-5-chloro-1,2,4-triazoles (R = Cl, Ph) afforded 2,6,10-tri-R- tris[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a:1′,5′c:1″,5″-e][1,3,5]triazines 5 (R = Ph) and 7 (R = Cl). These compounds are first representatives of this class of heterocycles, whose structures were unambiguously established. Treatment of these compounds with nucleophiles (H₂O/NaOH, NH₃) results in the triazine ring opening to give compounds consisting of three 1,2,4-triazole rings linked in a chain. For example, treatment of cyclic compound 5 with aqueous alkali affords 3-phenyl-1-3-phenyl-1-(3-phenyl-1H-1,2,4-triazol-5-yl)-1,2,4-triazol-5-yl-1H-1,2,4-triazol-5-one. Treatment of 3,7,11-triphenyltris[1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a:4′,3′c:4″,3″-e][1,3,5]triazine (2) with HCl/SbCl₅ leads to the triazine ring opening giving rise to 5-(3-chloro-5-phenyl-1,2,4-triazol-4-yl)-3-phenyl-4-(5-phenyl-1H-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)-1,2,4-triazole. Thermal cyclization of the latter produces 3,7,10-triphenyltris[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a:4′,3′c:4″,3″-e][1,3,5]triazine (13). Thermolysis of both cyclic compound 2 and cyclic compound 13 is accompanied by the Dimroth rearrangement to yield 3,6,10-triphenyl-tris[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a:1′, 5′-c:4″,3″-e][1,3,5]triazine (14). Compounds 13 and 14 are the first representatives of cyclic compounds with this skeleton. ¹³C NMR spectroscopy allows the determination of the isomer type in a series of tris[1,2,4]triazolo[1,3,5]triazines.__________Published in Russian in Izvestiya Akademii Nauk.

The synthesis of new polyheterocycles containing the pyrimido[2,1-a]phthalazine system 5, 6 and 7 , obtained by condensation of phthalic anhydride with the appropriate hydrazides 2, 3 and 4 , respectively, are reported. It was also synthesized the 14H-[1]Benzothieno[3′,2′:4,5]pyrimido[2,1-a][1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-c]phthalazin-14-one (16).     

Synthèse et étude physicochimique des 1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-a]-pyridines et des 1,2,4-triazolo[2,3-a]pyridines

The synthesis of 1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-a] and [2,3-a]pyridines 7, 8 was achieved by cyclization of 2-hydrazino-8-nitropyridine 3a with formic acid. The 4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-1,2,4-triazolo[2,3-a]pyridine 13 and 8-amino-1,2,4-triazolo[2,3-a]pyridine 9 were obtained by catalytic hydrogenation. The reduction of triazolo pyridine 8 using stannous chloride led to the intermediate compound 10 which with acetic anhydride afforded 8-acetylamino-5-chloro-1,2,4-triazolo[2,3-a]pyridine 10a . The structure of the derivatives was determined by ¹H-nmr (DMSO-d₆).     

Cyclocondensation of 6-acetyl-4,7-dihydro-5-methyl-7-phenyl[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine with hydroxylamine and hydrazine

The cyclocondensation of 6-acetyl-4,7-dihydro-5-methyl-7-phenyl[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine (3) with hydroxylamine or hydrazine leads to 3a,4,9,9a-tetrahydro-3,9a-dimethyl-4-phenylisoxazolo-[5,4-d][1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine ( 4a ) and 3a,4,9,9a-tetrahydro-3,9a-dimethyl-4-phenyl-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-d][1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine ( 4b ), respectively. In the presence of methanolic hydrogen chloride, 4b undergoes a cleavage of the pyrimidine ring to yield (5-amino-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)(3,5-dimethylpyrazol-4-yl)phenylmethane ( 5 ). The structure determination of the compounds obtained is based on ¹H and ¹³C nmr spectra including NOE measurements.     

Reductions of (1R,3R,4R)-3-([1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-x]azin-3-yl)-1,7,7-trimethylbicyclo[2.2.1]heptan-2-ones and their analogues

Reductions of (1R,3R,4R)-3-([1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-x]azin-3-yl)-1,7,7-trimethylbicyclo[2.2.1]heptan-2-ones and their lactone analogues, prepared from (1R)-(+)-camphor, were studied. Catalytic hydrogenation selectively led to partial saturation of the [1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-x]azine residue, while in reactions with borane–methylsulfide coordination of borane to the 1-position of [1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-x]azine system took place. On the other hand, activation of the carbonyl group in (1R,3R,4R)-3-([1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-x]azin-3-yl)-1,7,7-trimethylbicyclo[2.2.1]heptan-2-ones with boron trifluoride etherate followed by reaction with borane–methylsulfide furnished the corresponding isoborneols, stereoselectively. The structures of all representative compounds were confirmed by X-ray diffraction.     

Direct introduction of heterocyclic residues into 1,2,4-triazin-5(2H)ones

3-Aryl-1,2,4-triazin-5(2H)-ones 1a-c react with indoles 2a-c in trifluoroacetic acid/chloroform or in boiling butanol or acetic acid to give 3-aryl-6-(indolyl-3)-1,6-dihydro-1,2,4-triazin-5(2H)-ones 3a-g . Oxidation of the dihydro-1,2,4-triazin-5(2H)-ones 3a-e afforded 6-(indolyl-3)-1,2,4-triazin-5(2H)-ones 4a-e , products of nucleophilic substitution of hydrogen in 1a-c . Refluxing 1b with N-methylpyrrote 5b in butanol for an extended time resulted in the formation of 3-(4-chlorophenyl)-6-(1-meuiylpyrrolyl-2)-1,2,4-triazin-5(2H)-one 4h. The reaction of 1a-c with indoles 2a-c , pyrroles 5a,b , 1,3-dimethyl-2-phenylpyrazol-4-one (8) and aminothiazoles 9a,b in acetic anhydride affords the 1-acetyl-3-aryl-6-hetaryl-1,6-dihydro-1,2,4-triazin-5(2H)-ones 6a-s . Reaction of 1a-c with N-methyl-pyrrole 5b in acetic anhydride gives beside the 1:1 addition products 6h-k also the 2:1 addition products 7a-c .     

Synthesis of some fused triazoloquinolines

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.

This paper describes the synthesis of 1-hydrazinopyridazino[4,5-b]quinoxaline ( 10 ), tetrazolo[4,3-b]pyridazino[4,5-b]quinoxaline ( 11 ) and some 1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-b]pyridazino[4,5-b]quinoxalines 13 . Starting with 2-ethoxycarbonyl-3-methylquinoxaline 1,4-dioxide ( 1 ), 1,2-dihydro-1-oxopyridazino[4,5-b]quinoxaline ( 5 ) was prepared by three different ways: (a) chlorination of 1 in acetic acid gave 2-ethoxycarbonyl-3-dichloromethylquinoxaline 1,4-dioxide, which reacts with an excess of hydrazine to give about 60% of 5 ; (b) oxidation of 1 with selenium dioxide gave 90% of 2-ethoxycarbonyl-3-formylquinoxaline 1,4-dioxide ( 3 ), which reacts with hydrazine to give 5 (63%); (c) compound 3 was treated with hydrazine to give 1,2-dihydro-1-oxopyridazino-[4,5-b]quinoxaline 1,4-dioxide ( 4 ) (70%), which by reduction with sodium dithionite gave 5 (80%). Compound 5 reacts with phosphorus pentasulfide or the Lawesson reagent to give 1,2-dihydro-1-thiocarbonylpyridazino[4,5-b]quinoxaline ( 9 ), which treated with hydrazine gave 5 (80%). This last compound reacts with nitrous acid to give 11 . Some hydrazones 12 from 10 are described. Heating the aldehyde hydrazones 12a,c,d with dimethylsulfoxide some 1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-b]pyridazino[4,5-b]quinoxalines 13 were obtained. Compound 13a was also obtained in the reaction of 10 with benzoyl chloride. Reaction of 3 with phenylhydrazine gave 1,2-dihydro-1-oxo-2-phenylpyridazino[4,5-b]quinoxaline ( 6 ). Reactions of 5 with acetic anhydride and dimethylsulfate gave, respectively, 1-acetoxypyridazino[4,5-b]quinoxaline ( 8 ) and 1,2-dihydro-1-oxo-2-methylpyridazino-[4,5-b]quinoxaline ( 7 ). All the compounds were characterized by elemental analysis and ¹H-nmr spectra. Compounds 5 and 10 showed antihypertensive activity in rats.     

Synthesis of amino derivatives of triazolopyrimidine

Heterocyclization of 1-(4,6-dimethylpyrimidin-2-yl)-4-R-thiosemicarbazides by the action of methyl iodide in ethanol in the presence of sodium acetate is accompanied by Dimroth rearrangement leading to the formation of 5,7-dimethyl-2-R-amino[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidines. Analogous heterocyclization of 4-aryl-1-(4-methyl-6-oxo-1,6-dihydropyrimidin-2-yl)thiosemicarbazides gives 3-arylamino-7-methyl-5-oxo-[1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]pyrimidines. The presence in the pyrimidine ring of a carbonyl group capable of forming hydrogen bond with protons of the amino group stabilizes the molecule, thus hampering the Dimroth rearrangement.     

Synthesis,design, and antimicrobial activity of pyrido[2,3-d][1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]pyrimidinones based on quinoline derivatives

The pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidine moieties are one of the most biologically widespread heterocyclic compounds as antimicrobial, antioxidant, antitubercular, antiviral and anti-inflammatory. Hence, we synthesized an efficient new series of 2-thioxo-pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidinone, 2-hydrazinyl-(quinolin-2-yl)pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidinone,N′-(quinolin-2-yl)-pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidine-(formo/aceto)-hydrazide and substituted-(quinolin-2-yl)pyrido[2,3-d][1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]pyrimidinone derivatives. The characterization of new compounds was corresponded by using spectroscopic techniques, IR, NMR and Mass spectra. In vitro, all compounds were evaluated as antimicrobial activity compared with cefotaxime sodium and nystatin as the standard drug. This work deals with the exploration of the new heterocyclic compounds and medicinal diversity of quinoline-pyrido[2,3-d][1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]pyrimidine derivatives that might pave the way for long in the discovery of therapeutic medicine for future drug design.     

Regioselectivity of cyclization of 1-(6-methyl-5-oxo-2,5-dihydro-1,2,4-triazin-3-yl)-4-arylthiosemicarbazides by treating with methyl iodide and dicyclohexylcarbodiimide

1-(6-Methyl-5-oxo-2,5-dihydro-1,2,4-triazin-3-yl)-4-arylthiosemicarbazides treated with methyl iodide in the presence of sodium acetate in ethanol convert into 6-methyl-3-arylamino[1,2,4]-triazolo[4,3-b][1,2,4]triazin-7(1H)-ones. In reaction with dicyclohexylcarbodiimide 6-methyl-3-arylamino[1,2,4]triazolo[3,4-c][1,2,4]triazin-5(1H)-ones were obtained which at heating in alcohol solution in the presence of sodium acetate or at 262–272°C underwent the Dimroth rearrangement to give 3-methyl-7-arylamino[1,2,4]triazolo[5,1-c][1,2,4]-triazin-4(8H)-ones.

The reaction of 7-chloro-4-ethoxycarbonylmethylene-4,5-dihydro-1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-a]quinoxaline 6 with 4-ethoxycarbonyl-1-methyl-1H-pyrazole-5-diazonium chloride or 4-cyano-1,3-dimethyl-1H-pyrazole-5-diazonium chloride gave 7-chloro-4-[α-(4-ethoxycarbonyl-1-methyl-1H-pyrazol-5-ylhydrazono)-ethoxycarbonylmethyl]-1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-a]quinoxaline 8a or 7-chloro-4-[α-(4-cyano-1,3-dimethyl-1H-pyrazol-5-ylhydrazono)ethoxycarbonylmethyl]-1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-a]quinoxaline 8b , respectively, while the reaction of 7-chloro-4-ethoxycarbonylmethylene-4,5-dihydrotetrazolo[1,5-a]quinoxaline 7 with 4-ethoxycarbonyl-1-methyl-1H-pyrazole-5-diazonium chloride or 4-cyano-1,3-dimethyl-1H-pyrazole-5-diazomum chloride provided 7-chloro-4-[α-(4-ethoxycarbonyl-1-methyl-1H-pyrazol-5-ylhydrazono)ethoxycarbonylmethyl]tetrazolo[1,5-a]quinoxaline 9a or 7-chloro-4-[α-(4-cyano-1,3-dimethyl-1H-pyrazol-5-ylhydrazono)ethoxycarbonylmethyl]tetrazolo[1,5-a]quinoxaline 9b , respectively. Compounds 8a,b and 9a,b showed the tautomeric equilibria between the hydrazone imine C and diazenyl enamine D forms in dimethyl sulfoxide and/or trifluoroacetic acid, and the effects of solvent and temperature on the tautomer ratios of C to D were studied by the nmr measurements in a series of mixed trifluoroacetic acid/dimethyl sulfoxide media (compounds 8a,b and 9a,b ) and at various temperatures (compounds 8a,b ).
