Efficient dual catalytic enantioselective diethylzinc addition to the exocyclic CN double bond of some 1,2,4-N-triazinylarylimines using polymer-supported chiral β-amino alcohols derived from norephedrine

Chiral N,N-dialkylnorephedrines and their corresponding copolymers were evaluated as chiral ligands for the enantioselective diethylzinc addition to the exocyclic CN double bond of some 4-arylideneamino-3-mercapto-6-methyl-4H-1,2,4-triazin-5-ones 2a-f. The use of a dual catalytic system (amino alcohol/halosilane) in the titled asymmetric reaction was examined. The enantioselective ethylation reaction has been successfully carried out in the heterogeneous system even at low temperature. The corresponding 4-(1-arylpropyl)amino-3-mercapto-6-methyl-4H-1,2,4-triazin-5-ones 4a-f were obtained in high yields with high enantioselectivities using chiral polymers (up to 91% ee), which are almost the same as those obtained from homogeneous analogues (up to 92% ee). The diethylzinc reagent neither opened the 1,2,4-triazinyl heterocyclic ring nor attacked the carbonyl or the thione groups of the 1,2,4-triazinyl heterocyclic ring and the addition reaction took place exclusively at the exocyclic electrophilic carbon atom yielding the C-ethylated products 4a-f. Reductive cleavage of the 1,2,4-triazinyl heterocyclic ring led smoothly to the corresponding primary aromatic amines 11a-f without significant loss of enantiomeric purity. A suggestion about the possible transition state for the addition reaction is also presented.     

Substituent-induced regioselective synthesis of 1,2-teraryls and pyrano[3,4-c]pyran-4,5-diones from 2H-pyran-2-ones

Substituent-controlled regioselective synthesis of highly functionalized 1,2-teraryls 3a-k has been achieved through ring transformation of 6-aryl-4-(pyrrolidin-1-yl/piperidin-1-yl)-2H-pyran-2-one-3-carbonitriles 1a-g by aryl acetones 2a-c in the presence of powdered KOH in DMF in very good yield. Under similar reaction conditions, 6-aryl-4-methylsulfanyl-2H-pyran-2-ones 5a-f afforded 1,7-diaryl-2-methyl-4H,5H-pyrano[3,4-c]pyran-4,5-diones 6a-j as major products and 3,4-diaryl-2-methyl-6-methylsulfanylbenzonitriles as minor constituents 7a-j.     

Synthesis of 2-aryl-2H-[1,2,4]triazoloquinolin-3-one and 2-aryl-2H-[1,2,4]triazoloisoquinolin-3-one derivatives from α-chloroformylarylhydrazines hydrochloride

The reaction of α-chloroformylarylhydrazines hydrochloride with quinoline under air provided the corresponding 2-aryl-2H-[1,2,4]triazoloquinolin-3-ones 3a-3d in 33-42% yields and unexpected isomeric 2-aryl-2H-[1,2,4]triazoloisoquinolin-3-ones 4a-4d in 30-42% yields. These two isomers were isolated and fully characterized by spectroscopic methods including X-ray crystallography. By employing 3-methylquinoline as the starting material under the same condition, the reaction only gave compound 3e-3h as sole products in 70-82% yields without the formation of isomers. A plausible mechanism was proposed through electrophilic aromatic reaction, the tandem ring cyclization and ring-opening, and oxidation for the generation of 2-aryl-2H-[1,2,4]triazoloisoquinolin-3-ones (4).     

An efficient electrochemical method for a unique synthesis of new derivatives of 7H-thiazolo[3,2-b]-1,2,4-triazin-7-one

The electrochemical oxidation of catechols (1a-c) has been studied in the presence of 6-methyl-1,2,4-triazine-3-thion-5-one 3 in aqueous sodium acetate, using cyclic voltammetry and controlled-potential coulometry. A plausible mechanism for the oxidation of catechols and their reaction with 3 is presented. All the catechol derivatives (1a-c) were converted into 7H-thiazolo[3,2-b]-1,2,4-triazin-7-one derivatives (6a-c) through a Michael-type addition reaction of 3 to anodically generated o-quinones. The electrochemical syntheses of 6a-c were successfully performed in one pot in an undivided cell using an environmentally friendly method with high atomic economy.     

On the preparation of substituted 4H- 1,3,4-thiadiazolo[2,3-c]-1,2,4-triazin-4-ones and 1,2,4-triazolo[3,4-b]-1,3,4-thiadiazoles

The reaction of benzoyl isothiocyanates and methoxycarbonyl isothiocyanate with 4-amino-4,5-dihydro-3-(methylthio)-1,2,4-triazin-5-ones in acetonitrile gave several substituted 4H-1,3,4-thiadiazolo[2,3-c]-1,2,4-triazin-4-ones VIa-h instead of the expected thioureas. In addition, benzoyl isothiocyanate reacted with 4-amino-3-(methylthio)-5-(trifluoromethyl)-4H-1,2,4-triazole to give the benzoyl thiourea IX and with 4-amino-3-mercapto-5-(trifluoromethyl)-4H-1,2,4-triazole to give the bicyclic compound N-[3-(trifluoromethyl)-1,2,4-triazolo[3,4-b]-1,3,4-thiadiazol-6-yl]benzamide IX .     

Synthesis of a new class of azathia crown macrocycles containing two 1,2,4-triazole or two 1,3,4-thiadiazole rings as subunits

A series of new 1,2/1,3-bis[o-(N-methylidenamino-5-aryl-3-thiol-4H-1,2,4-triazole-4-yl)phenoxy]alkane derivatives 3a-d and bis[o-(N-methylidenamino-2-thiol-1,3,4-thiadiazole-5-yl)phenoxy]alkanes 6a-c were prepared by condensation of 4-amino-5-(aroyl)-4H-1,2,4-triazole-3-thiols 2a-b or 2-amino-5-mercapto-1,3,4-thiadiazole with bis-aldehydes 1a-c. Further reaction of compounds 3a-d and 6a-c with dibromoalkanes afforded the new macrocycles 5a-f and 8a-d. The cyclization does not require high dilution techniques and provides the expected azathia macrocycles in good yields, ranging from 55% to 68%.     

Synthesis of acyclic nucleoside analogues based on 1,2,4-triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidin-7-ones by one-step Vorbrüggen glycosylation

New acyclovir analogues were obtained by reaction of 1,2,4-triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidin-7-ones 4a–i with (2-acetoxyethoxy)methyl acetate 5 in the presence of trimethylsilyl trifluoromethanesulfonate (TMSOTf) as catalyst (Vorbrüggen procedure). Coupling between compounds 4a–f and 5 led to a mixture of N3- and N4-isomers 6 and 7, respectively. On the contrary, the reaction of compounds 4g–i with 5 proceeded selectively with formation of N3-isomers only. It was found that the ratio of 6a–f and 7a–f depends on the presence or the absence of N,O-bis(trimethylsilyl)acetamide (BSA). Glycosylated products 6a–f and 7a–f underwent reversible isomerization under TMSOTf treatment. The ratio of glycosylated products of the coupling reaction between 4 and 5 was thermodynamically controlled. A similar reaction occurred if ZnCl₂ was chosen as a catalyst, although lower yields of the acyclic analogues of nucleosides were observed. The glycosylation of other purines (adenine and guanine) can be achieved via the non-BSA modification of the Vorbrüggen procedure.     

Substituted coumarin amidines: useful building blocks for the preparation of [1]benzopyrano[4,3-b]pyridin-5-one and [1]benzopyrano[4,3-d]pyrimidin-5-one derivatives

The synthesis of [1]benzopyrano[4,3-b]pyridin-5-ones 4a-f and 4g-j starting from 3-formylcoumarin and 3-cyanocoumarin N-functionalized amidines 3a-f and 3g-j, respectively, was reported. The ring-closure reaction mechanism, under basic or acidic media, was proposed. Furthermore, the reaction of 3-formylamidines 3a,c-f with ammonium acetate gave good yields of 2-substituted [1]benzopyrano[4,3-d]pyrimidin-5-ones 7.     

Synthesis of polyazaheterocycles containing linearly bound 1,2,4-thiadiazole using enaminones

A reaction of N-substituted 5-amino-3-(2-oxopropyl)-1,2,4-thiadiazoles with dimethylformamide dimethyl acetal gave 3-(5-amino-1,2,4-thiadiazol-3-yl)-4-(dimethylamino)but-3en-2-ones, whose cyclization with hydrazine, guanidine, 1H-pyrazol-5-amines and 6-aminopyrimidin-4(3H)-ones led to 3-methyl-1H-pyrazole, 4-methylpyrimidin-2-amine, 5-methyl3-arylpyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidines, and 5-methyl-2-R-pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4(3H)-ones containing a 5-amino-1,2,4-thiadiazole fragment linearly bound at position 3.     

New synthesis of 2-trifluoromethyl-2,3-dihydro-1H-quinolin-4-ones

N-(1-Ethoxy-2,2,2-trifluoroethyl)anilines 2a-2f, prepared from trifluoroacetaldehyde ethyl hemiacetal and aniline, readily reacted with diethyl malonate in the presence of sodium hydride, giving substituted products 5a-5f in high yields. Compounds 5a-5f subjected to hydrolysis and decarboxylation under specified conditions yielded the 4,4,4-trifluorobutyric acids 6a-6e or 7. Direct ring-closure of 6a-6e with polyphosphoric acid gave 2-trifluoromethyl-2,3-dihydro-1H-quinolin-4-ones 9a-9e.     

The synthesis of 5H-thiazolo[2,3-c][1,2,4]triazine derivatives and substituted 3-(2-acylvinylthio)-1,2,4-triazin-5-ones from 6-methyl-3-thioxo-1,2,4-triazin-5-one, 1-acyl-2-bromoacetylenes,and α-acetylenic ketones. X-ray study of 3-benzoyl-6-methyl-5H-thiazolo[2,3-c][1,2,4]triazin-5-one

3-Acyl-6-methyl-5H-thiazolo[2,3-c][1,2,4]triazines were synthesized by reaction of 1-acyl-2-bromoacetylenes with 6-methyl-3-thioxo-1,2,4-triazin-5-one in methanol in the presence of triethylamine at 20 °C. The structure of 3-benzoyl-6-methyl-5H-thiazolo[2,3-c][1,2,4]triazine was established by X-ray structural analysis. Substituted 3-(2-acetylvinylthio)1,2,4-triazin-5-ones were obtained by the reaction of -acetylenic ketones with 6-methyl-3-thioxo-1,2,4-triazin-5-one under the same conditions. The structures of the new compounds were confirmed by IR,¹H, and¹³C NMR spectroscopy.Deceased.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

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.     

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 .     

Triazolo[4′,3′:4,5] [1,3,4]thiadiazolo[2,3-b]quinazolin-6-one

3-Methyl-6H-[1,2,4]triazolo[4′,3′: 4,5] [1,3,4]thiadiazolo[2,3-b]quinazolin-6-one (6) has been synthesized by the condensation of isatoic anhydride (1) with 4-amino-5-mercapto-3-methyl-[1,2,4]triazole (2) and final cyclisation of the intermediate3 with POCl₃ and PCl₃. Alternatively6 could also be synthesized by the condensation of 3-amino-2-mercapto-3H-quinazolin-4-one (7) withN-carbethoxy hydrazine in presence of hydrochloric acid and final cyclisation of the intermediate8 with acetic acid. The structures have been confirmed on the basis of IR, PMR and analytical results.     

Microwave assisted synthesis of ring junction heterocyclic antioxidants

A series of 6,7-dihydro-[1,2,4]triazolo[5,1-b]quinazolin-8(5H)-ones, 4a–o were synthesized via a one-pot, multicomponent reaction in the presence of water as a solvent under microwave irradiation using ceric ammonium nitrate as an oxidizing agent. This techno-chemical method provides a rapid construction of higher molecules in short duration with high yield. The adopted method was carried out in the presence of water without catalyst and yielded the compounds without any side products, and thus further purification of compounds by column chromatography was not required. All the synthesized compounds, 4a–o were screened for their 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radical scavenging activity. All the compounds, 4a–o possessed moderate antioxidant activity when compared to their standard antioxidant (ascorbic acid).     

A Convenient Synthesis of 1,2,4-Triazolo-1,3,5-triazin-4-ones and 1,2,4-Triazolo-1,3,5-triazin-4-thiones

The imidates derived from 3-aminotriazole 1 react with isocyanates and isothiocyanates to give corresponding 1,2,4-triazolo-1,3,5-triazin-4-ones and 1,2,4-triazolo-1,3,5-triazin-4-thiones in a 60–75% overall yield. If the condensation is realized at r.t., then the intermediate 2 can be isolated.     

Palladium-catalyzed polyhetero-claisen rearrangement of 4-allylthiopyrimidin-2(1h)-ones and 5-allylthio-1,2,4-triazin-3(2h)-ones

The S → N allylic transposition of 4-allylthiopyrimidin-2(lH)-ones 4 and 5-allylthio-1,2,4-triazin-3(2H)-ones 5 has been performed successfully by catalysis of palladium(II) salts. In both cases the N-alkylated products (6 and 7) are obtained with no traces of the C-alkylated products.     

Syntheses, characterization and crystal structures of new mono- and bis-Schiff base compounds derived from 1,2,4-triazine and the silver(I) complexes containing mono-Schiff base ligands

Some new Schiff bases, (Z)-4-amino-3-((E)-(R-methoxybenzylidene)hydrazono)-6-methyl-3,4-dihydro-1,2,4-triazin-5(2H)-one (R?=?2 (L2), R?=?3 (L3) and R?=?4 (L4)), were synthesized by the condensation reactions of 4-amino-3-hydrazinyl-6-methyl-1,2,4-triazin-5(4H)-one (L1) and corresponding methoxybenzaldehyde in a molar ratio 1:1.5 in high yields. The reaction of L2 and L4 with an excess amount of the corresponding aldehydes gave the unsymmetrical bis-Schiff bases (E)-3-((E)-(R-methoxybenzylidene)hydrazono)-4-((E)-R-methoxybenzylideneamino)-6-methyl-3,4-dihydro-1,2,4-triazin-5(2H)-one (R?=?2 (L22) and R?=?4 (L44)), respectively. Furthermore, the reaction of L2?CL4 with silver(I) nitrate in a molar ratio 2:1 led to the silver(I)-complexes with the general formula [Ag(Lx)₂]NO₃ (Lx?=?L2 (2), L3 (3) and L4 (4)). All synthesized Schiff base compounds and complexes were characterized by a combination of IR-, ¹H-NMR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry and elemental analyses. In addition, the structures of L2, L4·CH₃CN, L22·CH₃OH and L44·CH₃OH and complexes 2 and 4 were determined by X-ray diffraction studies.     

1,2,4-Triazines. 8. Reduction of 4-methyl-1,2,4-triazin-5(4H)-ones with sodium borohydride. Regioselective preparation of dihydro-1,2,4-triazin-5(4H)-ones

Reduction of 3-methylthio-1,2,4-triazin-5(4H)-one ( 1a ) with sodium borohydride afforded 3-methylthio-1,6-dihydrotriazin-5(4H)-one ( 2b ) selectively. 3-Methylthio-6-t-butyl-1,2,4-triazin-5(4H)-one ( 1d ) reacted with sodium borohydride to give mainly 6-t-butyl-2,3-dihydro-1,2,4-triazin-5(4H)-one ( 3d ). The reaction of various 4-methyl-1,2,4-triazin-5(4H)-ones with sodium borohydride and the influence of bulkiness and electronic effect of the substituents at the 3- and 6-positions upon the product ratio, are also discussed.     

The role of the planar chirality of iron tricarbonyl substituted homochiral amino alcohols in the asymmetric alkylation of aldehydes with diethylzinc

Homochiral amino alcohols bearing an iron tricarbonyl moiety were prepared from 2-amino-1,1-diphenylethanol derivatives 4a–d and [(3S,4S)-η^4,7-octa-4,6-dien-3-ol]Fe(CO)₃ complex 2. The addition of diethylzinc to aldehydes bearing electron donating substituents in the presence of these chiral ligands gave the alkylated products in good enantiomeric excess (up to 93% e.e.), whereas the addition to aldehydes bearing electron withdrawing substituents resulted in low yields and poor enantiomeric excesses.
