Fused pyrimidine systems: XIII. Synthesis and some transformations of 1,3-thiazolo(thiazino)-fused pyrido[3,4-d]pyrimidines

2-[Allyl(propargyl)sulfanyl]pyrido[3,4-d]pyrimidin-4-ones at heating in polyphosphoric acid undergo an intramolecular cyclization with the formation of pyrido[4,3-e]thiazolo-[3,2-a]pyrimidin-5-ones of angular structure. Under similar conditions the cyclization of 2-(cinnamylsulfanyl)pyrido[3,4-d]-pyrimidin-4-one results in a linear pyrido[3′,4′:4,5]pyrimido-[2,1-b][1,3]thiazin-6-one. The iodocyclization of the same substrates affords the corresponding 9-(iodomethyl)(iodomethylidene)pyrido[4,3-e][1,3]thiazolo-[3,2-a]pyrimidin-5-ones and 3-iodopyrido[3′,4′:4,5]pyrimido[2,1-b][1,3]thiazin-6-one of angular structure. 9-(Iodomethyl)-8,9-dihydro-5H-pyrido[4,3-e][1,3]thiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidin-5-one treated with sodium azide gave 9-(azidomethyl) derivative whose cyclization with substituted alkynes in the presence of copper compounds provided pyrido [4,3-e][1,3]thiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidinylmethyltriazoles.     

Palladium-catalyzed reductive N-heterocyclization of alkenyl-substituted nitroarenes as a viable method for the preparation of bicyclic pyrrolo-fused heteroaromatic compounds

Palladium-catalyzed, carbon monoxide-mediated reductive N-heterocyclization of nitro-heteroaromatic compounds having an alkene adjacent to the nitro-group affords bicyclic pyrrolo-fused heteroaromatic molecules. This type of reaction was used to prepare the fused bicyclo[3.3.0] ring-system: thieno[3,2-b]pyrrole, thieno[2,3-b]pyrrole, furo[2,3-b]pyrrole, pyrrolo[3,2-d]thiazole, and pyrrolo[2,3-d]imidazole and the bicyclo[4.3.0] ring-systems: pyrrolo[3,2-b]pyridine, pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridine, pyrrolo[3,2-c]pyridine, pyrrolo[2,3-c]pyridine, pyrrolo[3,2-c]pyridazine, and pyrrolo[3,2-d]pyrimidine in 32-94% yield.

Substitution of the central O atom in 6 by C, S, or N nucleophiles afforded the first representatives of the new ring systems bis[1,3]dioxolo[4,5-g:4,5-g′]pyrazolo[3,2-a:5,1-a′]diisoquinoline (7a-d), bis[1,3]dioxolo[4,5-g:4,5-g′][1,3,4]thiadiazolo[2,3-a:5,4-a′]diisoquinoline (8), and bis[1,3]dioxolo[4,5-g:4,5-g′][1,2,4]triazolo[3,2-a:5,1-a′]diisoquinoline (9a-d) under simple reaction conditions.     

Triazolopyridines. Part 24: New polynitrogenated potential helicating ligands

Stereoselective synthesis of dihydrothiadiazinoazines and dihydrothiadiazinoazoles and their pyrolytic desulfurization ring contraction

Intramolecular base catalyzed C-C bond formation led to exclusive stereoselective syntheses of trans-6,7-dihydro-5H-[1,2,4]triazolo[3,4-b][1,3,4]thiadiazines, trans-7,8-dihydro-6H-[1,2,4]triazino[3,4-b][1,3,4]thiadiazin-4-ones, and trans-3,4-dihydro-2H-[1,3,4]thiadiazino[2,3-b]quinazolin-10-one. trans-6,7-Dihydro-5H-[1,2,4]triazolo[3,4-b][1,3,4]thiadiazines isomerize slowly in CDCl₃ and more rapidly in DMSO-d₆ into the corresponding cis-stereoisomers. The other trans-6,7-dihydro-[1,3,4]thiadiazines isomerize also in DMSO-d₆ into the corresponding cis-stereoisomers. Pyrolytic conversion of these heterocyclic condensed dihydrothiadiazines into their corresponding pyrazolo[5,1-b][1,2,4]triazoles, pyrazolo[5,1-c][1,2,4]triazin-4-ones and pyrazolo[4,3-b]quinazolin-9-ones via desulfurization ring contraction is described.

Reactions of methyl 2-(2-formyl-1H-pyrrol-1-yl)alkanoates with unsubstituted aliphatic 1,2-, 1,3-, and 1,4-diamines gave N-unsubstituted pyrrolo[2,1-c]-1,3-diazacycloalkano[1,2-a]-pyrazinones. Some of them show ring-chain tautomerism. Transformations of these compounds led to a number of novel heterocyclic systems: 2,10-dihydro-3H,5H-imidazo[1,2-a]-pyrrolo[1,2-d]pyrazines, 2,3,4,11-tetrahydro-6H-pyrrolo[1??,2??:4,5]pyrazino[1,2-a]pyrimidines, 1,2,3,5,6,10b-hexahydroimidazo[1,2-a]pyrrolo[2,1-c]pyrazines, 1,3,4,6,7,11b-hexahydro-2H-pyrrolo[2??,1??:3,4]pyrazino[1,2-a]pyrimidines, and 2,3,4,5,6,7-hexahydro-1H-pyrrolo[2,1-c]-[1,4,7]triazacycloundecin-8(9H)-one.

Intramolecular electrophilic cyclization of 6-allylsulfanylpurine by the action of iodine and arenesulfenyl chlorides gave 7-iodomethyl-7,8-dihydro[1,3]thiazolo[2,3-i]purin-6-ium pentaiodide and 7-arylsulfanylmethyl-7,8-dihydro[1,3]thiazolo[2,3-i]purin-6-ium perchlorates, respectively. 7-Iodomethyl-7,8-dihydro-[1,3]thiazolo[2,3-i]purin-6-ium iodide reacted with sodium and potassium alkoxides to produce alkyl N-[5-(4-methyl-1,3-thiazol-2-yl)-1H-imidazol-4-yl]formimidates, and its reaction with secondary cyclic amines afforded 5-(4-methyl-1,3-thiazol-2-yl)-N-[morpholin-4-yl(or piperidin-1-yl)methylidene]-1H-imidazol-4-amines.
