Efficient synthesis of 3H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridines from malononitrile and 5-amino-4-(cyanoformimidoyl)imidazoles

1-Aryl-5-amino-4-(cyanoformimidoyl)imidazoles 2 were reacted with malononitrile under mild experimental conditions and led to 3-aryl-5,7-diamino-6-cyano-3H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridines 5, when the reaction was carried out in the presence of DBU, or to 3-aryl-5-amino-6,7-dicyano-3H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridines 3, in its absence. Both reactions evolved from the adduct formed by nucleophilic attack of the malononitrile anion to the carbon of the cyanoformimidoyl substituent. A 5-amino-1-aryl-4-(1-amino-2,2-dicyanovinyl)imidazole 4 was isolated when this reaction was carried out in the presence of DBU. The structure of compound 4 was confirmed by spectroscopic methods and by reaction with triethyl orthoformate and with acetic anhydride, leading respectively to 9-aryl-6-(cyanomethylidene)purines 11 and 12. Imidazole 2b was also reacted with ethyl acetoacetate, a carbon acid with a pK(a) comparable to that of malononitrile. Similar reaction conditions were used and the product isolated was a 6-carbamoyl-1,2-dihydropurine 10, showing that a different mechanism was operating in this case.     

New synthesis of 2-amino-3-cyano-4,5-tetramethylenethiophene

We have shown that 2-amino-3-cyano-4,5-tetramethylenethiophene (IV) is formed in the reaction of cyclohexanethione (I) with malononitrile (II) and sulfur in the presence of triethylamine. The reaction proceeds through a step involving the formation of cyclohexylidenemalononitrile (III) and occurs via attack by the malononitrile anion on the sulfur atom of the thiocarbonyl group of I. Δ^2,α-Bornanylmalononitrile (V) was similarly obtained from thiocamphor and II; the latter reaction cannot be realized with camphor because of the steric hindrance of the carbonyl carbon atom.     

5-Amino-4,5-dihydroisoxazoles. Part I. 5-Amino-3-aryl-4-methylene-4,5-dihydroisoxazoles and 4-aminomethyl-3-arylisoxazoles from 5-amino-4-aminomethyl-3-aryl-4,5-dihydroisoxazoles

5-Amino-4-aminomethyl-3-aryl-4,5-dihydroisoxazoles 2 were obtained by cycloaddition of nitrile oxides to 1,3-diaminopropenes 1. On reaction with methyl iodide the corresponding 4-(quaternary)-ammoniomethyl iodides 3 were formed. These compounds, on reaction with bases, afforded 5-amino-3-aryl-4-methylene-4,5-dihydroisoxazoles 4. The acid-catalyzed deamination of compounds 2 afforded 4-aminomethyl-3-arylisoxa-zoles 5 and 3-arylisoxazoles as retro-Mannich products. The deamination of 2 to yield 5 was also obtained by base catalysis.     

New approaches to the synthesis of functionally substituted pyrido[3′,2′:4,5]thieno[3,2-b]pyridines and the structure of the products obtained

Substituted pyrido,[3',2':4,5]thieno[3,2-b]pyndines were obtained by the reaction of 3-amino-2-benzoylthieno [2,3-b]pyridines with malononitrile and the reaction of 3-cyanopyridine-2(IH)-thiones with 2-aryl-3-bromo-I,I-dicyanopropene. 2-Amino-4-(4-bromophenyl)-7, 9-dimethyl-3-cyanopyrido [3',2':4,5]thieno[3, 2-b]-pyridine was used for the synthesis of a derivative of pyrido[3",2":4', 5']thieno[2',3':5,6]pyrido[2,3-d]-pyrimidine. The structure of these compounds was confirmed by spectral data and x-ray diffraction structural analysis.Deceased.

Methods for syntheses of substituted 3-alkoxycarbonyl-6-amino-4-aryl-2-(3-cyanopyridin-2-ylthiomethyl)-4H-pyrans were developed on the basis of the reactions of 4-(3-cyanopyridin-2-ylthio)acetoacetates and arylidenemalononitriles or aldehydes and malononitrile. Ethyl 4-(3-cyanopyridin-2-ylthio)acetoacetate and 4-methoxybenzylidenecyanothioacetamide were used for the synthesis of 6-(pyridin-2-ylthiomethyl)-3-cyanopyridine-2(1H)-thione.
