Derivatives of the linear tricyclic system, 5,6-dihydro-7H-thiopyrano[3,2-d][1,2,4]triazolo[2,3-a]pyrimidine, were prepared by condensation of 3-amino-1,2,4-triazole with ethyl 3-oxo-tetrahydropyran-2-carboxylate. The tricyclic heteroaryl-piperazines lacked significant hypoglycemic activity.     

Synthesis of two novel bicyelic systems,imidazo[1,5-D]-as-triazine and imidazo[1,2-d]-as-triazine

4-Imidazolecarboxyaldehyde was condensed with methyl dithiocarbazinate and with ethyl carbazate, the resulting hydrazones were subjected to thermolysis in diphenyl ether at 175–240, to give imidazo[1,5-d]-as-triazine-4(3H)thione and imidazo[1,5-d]-as-triazin-4(3H)one, respectively.

The same sequence of reactions with 2-imidazolecarboxaldehyde gave the novel system imidazo[1,2-d]-αs-triazine-5-(6H)-thione. Upon treatment with sodium hydride and methyl iodide, imidazo[1,5-d]-as-triazine-4(3H)thione and imidazo[1,2-d]-as-triazine-5(6H)-thione gave 4-methylthioimidazo[1,5-d]-as-triazine and 5-methylthioimidazo[1,2-d]-as-triazine, respectively. Displacement of the thiomethyl group was achieved with a selection of amine reagents in both of the above cases.

Synthesis of tricyclic and tetracyclic thieno[3,2-f]-1,4-thiazepines

Treatment of 5-methylthio-2,3-dihydrothieno[3,2-f]-1,4-thiazepine ( 9 ) with acylhydrazines gave 5,6-dihydrothieno[3,2-f]-1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-d][1,4]thiazepines 10, 11 , and that of 9 with ethyl anthranilate gave 5,6-dihydrothieno[3′,2′:6,7][1,4]thiazepino[5,4-b]quinazolin-8-one ( 14 ). Reaction of 9 with hydrazine hydrate or 4-chlorophenylhydrazine afforded 5-hydrazino compounds 12, 15 , which were subsequently cyclized to ethyl 5,6-dihydrothieno[3,2-f]-1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-d][1,4]thiazepine-3-carboxylate ( 13 ), 2-(4-chlorophenyl)-5,6-dihydrothieno[3,2-f]-1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-d][1,4]thiazepin-3(2H)-one ( 16 ) and 2-(4-chlorophenyl)-6,7-dihydro-2H-thieno[3,2-f][1,2,4]triazino[4,3-d][1,4]thiazepine-3,4-dione ( 17 ).

All of these were previously unknown compounds. Treating 1,4-dioxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-5H-pyridazino[4,5-b]indole ( 1 ) with phosphorus oxychloride gave 1,4-dichloro-5H-pyridazino[4,5-b]indole ( 2 ), which reacts regioselectively with hydrazine to give compound 4 . The reactions of 4 with formic and acetic acids gave 6-chloro-11 H-1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-b]pyridazino[4,5-b]indoles ( 6a-6b ), respectively. Reaction of compound 6a with hydrazine gave 6-hydrazino-11H-1,2,4-triazolo[4,3–6]-pyridazino[4,5,-b]indole ( 8 ). This with nitrous acid gave 6-azido-11H-1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-b]pyridazino[4,5-b]-indole ( 9 ). Compound 4 reacted with nitrous acid to give 6-chloro-11H-tetrazolo[4,5-b]pyridazino[4,5-b]-indole ( 10 ), which gave 1,4-diazydo-5H-pyridazino[4,5-b]indole ( 12 ), through successive reactions with hydrazine and nitrous acid. All compounds were characterized by elemental analysis, ir and ¹H-nmr spectra.

Recently reported [1] syntheses of 6-methyl-1,2,4,5-tetrahydro-1,4-dioxo-3H[1,2]diazepino[5,6-b]indole ( 5 ) and 4-hydroxy-6-methyl-3H[1,2]diazepino[5,6-b]indole ( 12 ) were reinvestigated and shown to be in error. The correct assignments for these respective structures are 3-amino-1,9-dihydro-9-methyl-2H-pyrido[4,3-b]indol-2,4(3H)-dione ( 6 ) and 3-amino-3,9-dihydro-9-methyl-2H-pyrido[4,3-b]indol-2-one ( 13 ). Condensation of 6 and 13 with p-nitrobenzaldehyde produced benzylidene derivatives, which confirmed the presence of the amino groups.

Acid-catalyzed isopropylidenation of mesomeric betaine 7 or nuclcoside 14 provided 3-(2,3-isopropylidene-β-D-ribofuranosyl)imidazo[4,5-d]pyrizin-4(5H)one ( 31 ). 1-β-D-Ribofuranosylimidazo[4,5-d]-pyridazine ( 29 ) was obtained in several steps from nueleoside 12 . The structure of the nucleosides was established by the use of carbon-13 and proton nmr.

Cyclization of thioglycolic acids derivatives 3a-d gave isoindolo[1,2-b]thieno[2,3(3,2 or 3,4)-e][1,3]-thiazocines 4a-d . Isoindolo[2,1-a]thieno[2,3(3,2 or 3,4)-f][1,4] or [1,5]diazocines 10b or 11a-c were synthesized from Beckmann or Schmidt rearrangement of the ketones 7a-c .     

Pyrazolo[1,5-d]triazines-1,2,4. II étude des pyrazolo[1,5-d]triazinones,des pyrazolo[1,5-d]triazinediones et des pyrazolo[1,5-d]triazinethiones

The synthesis of 1,2-dihydro-l-oxopyrazolo[1,5-d]-1,2,4-triaxine was achieved by rerrangment of 2-(5-pyrazolyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazole under alkaline condition. The cyclization of the N-carbethoxyhydrazone of the pyrazole-5-carboxaldehyde gave the 3,4-dihydro-4-oxopyrazolo[1,5-d]1,2,4-triazine. Electrophilic substitutions of the l-pyrazolotriazinome were made either on the lactam nitrogen with methylsulfate, benzylchloride and monochloracetic axid or on the pyrazole ring with bromine. The synthesis of pyrazolo[1,5-d]-1,2,4-triazine was made from teh l-pyrazolotrizinone via the l-pyrazolotrizinone. The methylation of l-pyrazolotrizinone and 8-bromo-l-pyrazolotrizinone afforded N-and S-methyl derivatives. The sysnthesis of 1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyrazolo[1,5-d]-1,2,4-triazine-1,4-diones was axhived by cyclising N-carbethoxyhydrazides of pyrrole-5-carboxylic acid.

The preparation of 1,2,4-triazolo[1,5-c]quinazolines 4a-d , 5 , 8a-d by cyclocondensation of 1a-c with carboxylic acids and carboxylic anhydrides, respectively, is described. By different pathways, the 5-thioxo-5,6-dihydro-1,2,4-triazolo[1,5-c]quinazolines 4a-d react with hydrazine hydrate or amines with the formation of 5-substituted 1,2,4-triazolo[1,5-c]quinazolines 9 and 10a-d . Cyclocondensation of 9 with carboxylic acids, carboxylic anhydrides, and nitrous acid, respectively, leads to the new anellated heterocycles bis-1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-a:1,5-c]quinazoline 13 and tetrazolo [1,5-a]-1,2,4-triazolo[1,5-c]quinazoline ( 14 ).

The reaction of 1-(4-oxo-1-R-5H-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-6-yl)-4-arylthiosemicarbazides with methyl iodide gave rise to 1,2,4-triazolo-pyrazolopyrimidinones of linear structure, and with dicyclohexylcarbodiimide the products had angular and linear structure. The heating of compounds obtained higher than their melting point resulted in their isomerization into 7-aryl-amino-1-R-1,8-dihydro-4H-pyrazolo[3,4-d]-[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidin-4-ones.

New heterotricyclic systems, 6,10a,11,11a-tetrahydro-5H-bis[1,2,4]oxadiazolo[4,5-d:5′,4′-g][1,4]diazepines 6,7,9-11 and 5,6,10,10a,11,11a-hexahydro-1H-bis[1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-d:3′,4′-g][1,4]diazepines 8,12 have been obtained by double site- and regie-specific 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of mesitylnitrile oxide ( 1 ) or diphenylnitrile imine ( 2 ) to 5,7-disubstituted 2,3-dihydro-1H-1,4-diazepines 3-5. The structure of the synthesized bis-adducts 6-12 shows that the hetero double bonds are much more reactive than the olefinic ones in the dipolarophiles under study. No evidence for the formation of mono-adducts was obtained.     

Synthesis of 4,6-disubstituted-7-β-D-ribofuranosyl- and arabinofuranosylpyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidines and certain related ribonucleosides

Several disubstituted pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine, pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine and thiazolo[4,5-d]pyrimidine ribonucleosides have been prepared as congeners of uridine and cytidine. Glycosylation of the trimethylsilyl (TMS) derivative of pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine-4,6(1H,5H,7H)-dione ( 4 ) with 1-O-acetyl-2,3,5-tri-O-benzoyl-D-ribofuranose ( 5 ) in the presence of TMS triflate afforded 7-(2,3,5-tri-O-benzoyl-β-D-ribofuranosyl)pyrazolo-[3,4-d]pyrimidine-4,6(1H,5H)-dione ( 6 ). Debenzoylation of 6 gave the uridine analog 7-β-D-ribofuranosylpyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine-4,6(1H,5H)-dione ( 3 ), identical with 7-ribofuranosyloxoallopurinol reported earlier. Thiation of 6 gave 7 , which on debenzoylation afforded 7-β-D-ribofuranosyl-6-oxopyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine-4(1H,5H)-thione ( 8 ). Ammonolysis of 7 at elevated temperature gave a low yield of the cytidine analog 4-amino-7-β-D-ribofuranosylpyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-6(1H)-one ( 11 ). Chlorination of 6 , followed by ammonolysis, furnished an alternate route to 11 . A similar glycosylation of TMS-4 with 2,3,5-tri-O-benzyl-α-D-arabinofuranosyl chloride ( 12 ) gave mainly the N7-glycosylated product 13 , which on debenzylation provided 7-β-D-arabinofuranosylpyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine-4,6(1H,5H)-dione ( 14 ). 4-Amino-7-β-D-arabinofuranosyl-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-6(1H)-one ( 19 ) was prepared from 13 via the C4-pyridinium chloride intermediate 17 . Condensation of the TMS derivatives of 7-hydroxy- ( 20 ) or 7-aminopyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidin-5(4H)-one ( 23 ) with 5 in the presence of TMS triflate gave the corresponding blocked nucleosides 21 and 24 , respectively, which on deprotection afforded 7-hydroxy- 22 and 7-amino-4-β-D-ribofuranosylpyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidin-5-one ( 25 ), respectively. Similarly, starting either from 2-chloro ( 26 ) or 2-aminothiazolo[4,5-d]pyrimidine-5,7-(4H,6H)-dione ( 29 ), 2-amino-4-β-D-ribofuranosylthiazolo[4,5-d]pyrimidine-5,7(6H)-dione ( 28 ) has been prepared. The structure of 25 was confirmed by single crystal X-ray diffraction studies.     

Azole chemistry. VI.. tetrazolo[5,4-b] [1,3] thiazinium salts

Cyclodehydration of tetrazolyl γ-keto sulfides, prepared by treatment of β-halo ketones with 5-mereapto-1-substituted-1,2,3,4-tetrazoles ( 1 ), gave 1,5-diaryl-7H-tetrazolo[5,4-6 ] [1,3] thiazinium salts in reasonable yields. Reaction of 1 with epoxy bromides afforded 6-hydroxy-1-substiluled-6,7-dihydro-5H-letrazolo[5,4-b] [ 1,3]thiazinium bromides. The spectral properties of the fused thiazinium salts are discussed.     

Synthesis of 9-nitro-5H-spiro[benzo[b]tetrazolo[1,5-d][1,4]oxazepine-4,2′-oxirane] via an unusual ring-expansion

Attempted cyclization of (4-(hydroxymethyl)-8-nitro-4H-benzo[b]tetrazolo[1,5-d][1,4]oxazin-4-yl)methyl 4-methylbenzenesulfonate 2 did not give the expected spirooxetane product 1, but instead provided 9-nitro-5H-spiro[benzo[b]tetrazolo[1,5-d][1,4]oxazepine-4,2′-oxirane] 3via an unusual ring-expansion process. The structure of compound 3 was confirmed by single-crystal X-ray crystallography. The spiroepoxide (oxirane) in compound 3 could be ring-opened with a variety of nucleophiles to give products of potential interest to medicinal chemists.
