Research on heterocyclic compounds. XXI. Synthesis of imidazo[2,1-b]benzothiazole and imidazo[2,1-b]thiazole derivatives

Synthesis of condensed quinoxalines

A novel efficient synthesis of fluorescent, fused quinoxalines was achieved. 6-Triazolylthiazolo[4,5-b]quinoxalines were synthesized by the diazotisation of 6-amino-2-methylthiazolo[4,5-b]quinoxaline and coupling with selected aromatic amines followed by air oxidation. Diazotised aryl amines were coupled with 6-amino-2-methylthiazolo[4,5-d]quinoxaline followed by subsequent air oxidation afforded 1,2,3-triazolo[5,4-f]quinoxalino[2,3-d]thiazoles. 6-Amino-2-methylthiazolo[4,5-b]quinoxaline was condensed with conjugated enol ethers followed by cyclization in dowtherm resulted in thiazolo[4,5-b]quinoxalino[6,5-b]pyridine.     

Pyrimido[5,4-b]quinolines. I. Synthesis of substituted tricyclic systems related to riboflavin

Two alternative synthetic routes were investigated for the synthesis of 2,4,10-substituted-7,8-dimethylpyrimido[5,4-b]quinolines: (1) cyclization of 5-(3,4-xylidino)-2,4-disubstituted-pyrimidine-6-carboxylic acids, and (2) cyclization of N-5-(2,4-disuhstituted-pyrimidinyl)-4,5-dimethylanthranilic acids. Route (1) invariably led to isomeric mixtures of the corresponding 7,8- and 8,9-dimethylpyrimido[5,4-b]quinolines which were difficult to separate, while route (2) yielded only the desired 7,8-dimelhyl derivatives. The required intermediates were synthesized by Ullman-type condensation of the appropriate pyrimidine and benzene derivatives. Cyclization with polyphosphoric acid, or phosphorus oxychloride (under various conditions) led to a number of new pyrimido[5,4-b]quinoline derivatives, with oxo, methoxy and/or chloro substituents in the 2,4 and 10 positions. A mild, but effective chlorination procedure was developed for the chlorination of the 10-(oxo) position without the cleavage of methoxyl groups at positions 2 and 4.

Summary The treatment of a mixture of linearly and angularly annelated 2-substituted oxazolo[4,5-f]quinolones (5a–c) and oxazolo[5,4-g]quinolones (6a–c) and similarly the treatment of 2-substituted oxazolo[5,4-f]quinolones (7a–c) and oxazolo[4,5-g]quinolones (8b,c) with POCl₃ afforded substituted 4-chlorooxazolo[4,5-f]quinolines (9a–c) and 2-substituted 4-chlorooxazolo[5,4-f]quinolines (10b,c), respectively. Spectral characteristics of the synthesized derivatives (¹H and¹³C NMR, IR, UV, and MS) are discussed.Dedicated to Prof.Fritz Sauter on the occasion of his 65th birthday
