The 5-formyl group in the latter can be removed by acid hydrolysis. Unsubstituted 2-azaspinaceamine, an aza analog of natural spinaceamine, was synthesized for the first time.

The constitution of the methylation product of imidazo[4,5-c]pyridazine-2-thiol (VIII) has been shown to be 2-methylthioimidazo[4,5-c]-pyridazine (IX) by the unequivocal syntheses of 1-methylimidazo[4,5-c]pyridazine-2-thiol (XXIII) and 3-methylimidazo[4,5-c]pyridazine-2-thiol (XXXIII). Likewise, the structure of the methylation product (XIII) was shown to be S-methylation by the unequivocal syntheses of 1-methyl-2-methylthio-6-chloroimidazo[4,5-c]pyridazine (XXIV) and 3-methyl-2-methylthio-6-chloroimidazo[4,5-c]pyridazine (XXXI), respectively.

Halogenation of 2-Unsubstituted and 2-Methylimidazo[4,5-<Emphasis Type="Italic">b</Emphasis>]pyridine Derivatives

Halogenation of 2-unsubstituted and 2-methylimidazo[4,5-b]pyridines and their N-methyl derivatives with bromine and chlorine in acetic acid takes different pathways, depending on the acetic acid concentration. The bromination in 50% aqueous acetic acid gives only 6-bromoimidazo[4,5-b]pyridines; bromination and chlorination of 2-unsubstituted imidazo[4,5-b]pyridines in glacial acetic acid leads to 5,6-dibromo(dichloro)imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-2-ones, and bromination of 2-methylimidazo[4,5-b]pyridines in glacial acetic acid involves both the pyridine ring and the 2-methyl group to afford the corresponding 6-bromo-2-tribromomethylimidazo[4,5-b]pyridines.__________Translated from Zhurnal Organicheskoi Khimii, Vol. 41, No. 3, 2005, pp. 457–461.Original Russian Text Copyright © 2005 by Yutilov, Lopatinskaya, Smolyar, Gres’ko.
