Synthesis and structure elucidation of 3-methoxy-1-methyl-1H-1,2,4,-triazol-5-amine and 5-methoxy-1-methyl-1H-1,2,4,-triazol-3-amine

Previously it was shown that condensation of dimethyl N-cyanodithioimidocarbonate ( 1a ) with methylhydrazine gave predominantly 1-methyl-5-methylthio-1H-,2,4-triazol-3-amine ( 2 ), which was initially identified erroneously as the regioisomer l-methyl-3-methylthio-1H-1,2,4-triazol-5-amine ( 3 ). We have found that reaction of dimethyl N-cyanoimidocarbonate ( 1b ) with methyl hydrazine affords a high yield of 3-methoxy-1-methyl-1H-1,2,4-triazol-5-amine ( 4 ) rather than the regioisomer 5-methoxy-1-methyl-1H-1,2,4-triazol-3-amine ( 5 ). The structure assignment of 4 was confirmed by X-ray crystallographic analysis of the benzenesulfonyl isocyanate adduct 7 . Triazole 5 was obtained after reacting dimethyl N-cyanothioimidocarbonate ( 1c ) with methylhydrazine.     

Synthesis of methyl 7-aryl-6-(2-thenoyl)-4,7-dihydro-tetrazolo[1,5-<Emphasis Type="Italic">a</Emphasis>]pyrimidine-5-carboxylates and their reaction with hydrazine hydrate

Fusion of methyl 4-(2-thienyl)-2,4-dioxobutanoate with 1H-tetrazol-5-amine monohydrate and aromatic aldehyde gave methyl 7-aryl-6-(2-thenoyl)-4,7-dihydrotetrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine-5-carboxylates which reacted with an equimolar amount of hydrazine hydrate at 180–190°C under solvent-free conditions to produce 9-aryl-8-(2-thienyl)-4,9-dihydrotetrazolo[1′,5′: 1,2]pyrimido[4,5-d]pyridazin-5(6H)-ones.     

Synthesis of 2-(β-D-ribofuranosyl)[1,3,5]triazines

The synthesis of the first [1,3,5]triazine carbon linked nucleosides are reported. 4-Amino-6-(β-D-ribofuranosyl)[1,3,5]triazin-2(1H)-one ( 8 ), an analog of 5-azacytidine and pseudoisocytidine was prepared. 2,5-Anhydro-D-allonamidine hydrochloride ( 3 ) was condensed with dimethyl cyanoiminodithiocarbonate ( 4 ) to give 4-methylthio-6-(β-D-ribofuranosyl)[1,3,5]triazin-2-amine ( 5 ). Compound 5 was reacted with m-chloroperbenzoic acid to give 4-methylsulfinyl-6-(β-D-ribofuranosyl)[1,3,5]triazin-2-amine ( 6 ). Displacement of the methyl sulfinyl with the appropriate nucleophile gave 6-(β-D-ribofuranosyl)[1,3,5]triazine-2,4-diamine ( 7 ), 4-amino-6-(β-D-ribofuranosyl)[1,3,5]triazin-2(1H)-one ( 8 ), and 4-amino-6-(β-D-ribofuranosyl)[1,3,5]triazine-2(1H)-thione ( 9 ). Dethiation of compound 5 with Raney nickel gave 4-(β-D-ribofuranosyl)[1,3,5]triazin-2-amine ( 10 ). The crystal structure of 7 was determined by single crystal X-ray.     

Synthesis of methyl 7-aryl(hetaryl,cyclohexenyl)-10,10-dimethyl-8-oxo-7,8,9,10,11,12-hexahydrobenzo[<Emphasis Type="Italic">b</Emphasis>][1,7]phenanthroline-9-carboxylates

Three-component condensation of quinolin-5-amine with methyl 2,2-dimethyl-4,6-dioxocyclohexane-1-carboxylate and aromatic (heteroaromatic) aldehydes or cyclohex-3-ene-1-carbaldehyde gave previously unknown 1,7-phenanthroline derivatives. The reactions in butan-1ol were characterized by 100% regioselectivity but low stereoselectivity, and mixtures of cis- and trans-isomeric methyl 7-aryl(hetaryl, cyclohexenyl)-10,10-dimethyl-8-oxo-7,8,9,10,11,12-hexahydrobenzo[b][1,7]phenanthroline-9-carboxylates were obtained at a ratio of ∼45: 55.     

Reaction of 2′-hydroxy-1,1′: 3′,1″-terphenyl-5′-carbaldehyde with naphthalen-1-amine,quinolin-8-amine,and 1,3-diketones

Condensation of 2′-hydroxy-1,1′: 3′,1″-terphenyl-5′-carbaldehyde with naphthalen-1-amine and cyclohexane-1,3-dione, methyl 2,2-dimethyl-4,6-dioxocyclohexane-1-carboxylate, or dimedone gave the corresponding 7-(2′-hydroxy-1,1′: 3′,1″-terphenyl-5′-yl)-7,8,9,10,11,12-hexahydro-12H-benzo[c]acridin-8-ones. The reaction of 2′-hydroxy-1,1′: 3′,1″-terphenyl-5′-carbaldehyde with naphthalen-1-amine and indan-1,3-dione produced 7-(2′-hydroxy-1,1′: 3′,1″-terphenyl-5′-yl)-8H-benzo[h]indeno[1,2-b]quinolin-8-one. 7-(2′-Hydroxy-1,1′: 3′,1″-terphenyl-5′-yl)-7,8,9,10,11,12-hexahydrobenzo[b][1,10]phenanthrolin-8-ones were obtained by three-component condensation of 2′-hydroxy-1,1′: 3′,1″-terphenyl-5′-carbaldehyde with quinolin-8-amine and cyclohexane-1,3-dione, methyl 2,2-dimethyl-4,6-dioxocyclohexane-1-carboxylate, or dimedone.     

Reactions of 2-aza-1,3,5-trienes with superbases: competition between formation of thiazoles and azepines

For the case of 1-(allylsulfanyl)-2-methoxy-N-(1-methylethylidene)buta-1,3-dien-1-amine, obtained from α-lithiated methoxyallene, isopropyl isothiocyanate, and allyl bromide, it was shown that 5-ethylidene-2-(1-methoxyprop-2-enyl)-4,4-dimethyl-4,5-dihydro-1,3-thiazole and 6-methoxy-2-methyl-3H-azepine are formed competitively upon the action of the t-BuOK–THF–DMSO system.     

Synthesis of 6-[[(hydroxyimino)phenyl]methyl]-1-[(1-methylethyl)sulfonyl]-1H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-2-amine. An aza analogue of enviroxime

6-[[(Hydroxyimino)phenyl]methyl]-1-[(1-methylethyl)sulfonyl]-1H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-2-amine ( 1 ), an aza analogue of enviroxime, was synthesized in eight steps from 6-hydroxynicotinic acid ( 2 ). Acid 2 was nitrated, chlorinated with phosphorus pentachloride, and subjected to Friedel-Crafts aroylation to give 6-chloro-5-nitro-3-pyridyl phenyl ketone ( 5 ). Amination of 5 was followed by reduction of the nitro group and condensation with ethoxycarbonylisothiocyanate to give 6-benzyl-2-ethoxycarbonylamino-1H-imidazo[4,5-d]pyridine ( 8 ). The ethoxycarbonyl moiety of 8 was cleaved, N-1 was isopropylsulfonylated, and the carbonyl moiety was condensed with hydroxylamine to give 1 . Compound 1 was inactive against rhinovirus 1B and poliovirus type 1 .     

Synthesis of 2,4-diphenyl-1H-pyrrol-1-amine derivatives

The direction of the reaction of 4-bromo-1,3-diphenyl-2-buten-1-one (γ-bromodypnone) with hydrazines depends on the nature of the substituent they contain. Reaction with 1-methylhydrazinium hydrosulfate gives 1-methyl-3,5-diphenylpyridazin-1-ium bromide but carboxylic acid hydrazides give N-(2,4-diphenyl-1H-pyrrol-1-yl)carboxylic acid amides. γ-Bromodypnone and phenylhydrazine give both 1,3,5-triphenyl-1,4-dihydropyridazine and N,2,4-triphenyl-1H-pyrrol-1-amine (15%). 1-(2,4-Dinitrophenyl)hydrazine gives the 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazone of (Z)-4-bromo-1,3-diphenyl-2-buten-1-one. Condensation of 2,4-diphenyl-1H-pyrrol-1-amine with aromatic aldehydes readily leads to N-(arylmethylidene)-2,4-diphenyl-1H-pyrrol-1-amines and alkylation with methyl iodide gives N,N-dimethyl-2,4-diphenyl-1H-pyrrol-1-amine.

The efficient and novel method for the synthesis of pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridine and pyrano[2,3-c]pyrazole derivatives from the multicomponent reaction of aromatic aldehydes (isatins), N-methyl-1-(methylthio)-2-nitroethen-1-amine, and 3-aminopyrazole or methyl 3-hydroxy-1H-pyrazole-5-carboxylate under normal laboratory conditions was reported in this research. The advantages of this research are wide range of substrates, high yields, and simple operation.     

Thiomethylation of heteroaromatic amines

Thiomethylation of heteroaromatic amines with formaldehyde-hydrogen sulfide gave linear and cyclic heteroatom compounds: N,N′-[methylenebis(sulfanediylmethylene)]bishetarenamines and 5-hetaryl-1,3,5-dithiazinanes. N,N′-[Methylenebis(sulfanediylmethylene)]bishetarenamines were found to undergo transformation into 5-hetaryl-1,3,5-dithiazinanes by the action of CH₂O-H₂S. Transamination of 5-methyl-1Hpyrazol-3-amine, 6-nitro-1,3-benzothiazol-2-amine, and 5-bromopyridin-2-amine with 5-methyl-1,3,5-dithiazinane selectively afforded the corresponding 5-hetaryl-1,3,5-dithiazinanes.

We have observed unusual thermal rearrangements of N-cyclohexylidene-4-methyl-1-(methylthio)penta-1,3-dien-1-amine to 4,4-dimethyl-2-(methylthio)-3,3a,4,4a,5,6,7,8-octahydrobenzo[4,1]cyclobuta-[1,2-b]pyrrole and 1-cyclohexyl-5-methylpyridine-2(1H)-thione.     

1-( p -Fluorophenyl)-2-(2′-pyridyl)ethanol and 1-( p -fluorophenyl)-2-(2′-pyridyl)ethene obtained from the condensation reaction of 2-picoline and p -fluorophenylaldehyde under catalyst-and solvent-free conditions

The novel intermediate 1-(p-fluorophenyl)-2-(2′-pyridyl)ethanol or 2-[2′-(1-hydroxy-1-(p-fluorophenyl)ethyl]pyridine and the corresponding novel dehydration compound 1-(p-fluorophenyl)-2-(2′-pyridyl)ethene or 2-[p-fluorophenylvinyl]pyridine were obtained from the condensation reaction of p-fluorophenylaldehyde and 2-picoline under catalyst-and solvent-free conditions. The intermediate 1-(p-fluorophenyl)-2-(2′-pyridyl)ethanol was obtained at 42 h reaction time and temperature of 120°C, respectively. ¹H-NMR, IR spectroscopic data of the 1-(p-fluorophenyl)-2-(2-pyridyl)ethanol clearly showed the presence of the-CH₂-CHOH-group. The compound was obtained as a white powder with m.p. 121–122°C and a yield of 8%. For 1-(p-fluorophenyl)-2-(2-pyridyl)ethene, the reaction conditions were similar, but the reaction temperature was increased to yield the double bond in the 1-(p-fluorophenyl)-2-(2′-pyridyl)ethene. At the reaction temperature of 140°C, the compound was a slightly brown powder with a m.p. of 78°C and yield of 18%. ¹H-NMR, IR spectroscopic data for the 1-(p-fluorophenyl)-2-(2′-pyridyl)ethene showed the presence of a double bond in trans configuration (-CH=CH-), characteristic of a styrylpyridine.     

Synthesis and tautomerism of 2-[3(5)-aryl(methyl)pyrazol-4-yl]-1-benzimidazoles

An efficient method has been developed for the synthesis of 2-[3(5)-aryl(methyl)pyrazol-4-yl]-1H-benzimidazoles by cyclocondensation of 2-acylmethyl-1H-benzimidazoles benzoylhydrazones with DMF dimethylacetal. The tautomerism of the compounds obtained via migrations of a proton between the pyrazole nitrogen atoms has been studied by ¹H NMR. The more stable tautomers have electron acceptor aryl substituents placed at position 3 of the pyrazole ring and electron donor aryl substituents or a methyl at position 5. __________ Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 9, pp. 1370–1377, September, 2006.     

Novel High Energy Intermediate Analogues with Triazasterol-Related Structures as Potential Inhibitors of the Ergosterol Biosynthesis II [1]. Optimization of the Synthesis of 1,6,7,11b-Tetrahydro-2 H pyrimido[4,3- a ] isoquinolin-4-amines as Parent Compounds of Novel 8,13,15-Triazasteroids

Various routes for an effective synthesis of 1,6,7,11b-tetrahydro-2H-pyrimido[4,3-a]isoquinolin-4-amine and its 9-methoxy derivative, which were designed as tricyclic triaza-analogues with stable positive charge to mimic carbocationic high energy intermediates (HEI) of the ergosterol biosynthesis, were investigated. Starting from β-phenylethylamines the corresponding 3-chloro-N-phenethylpropionamides were prepared and transformed into N-phenethyl-3-phthalimidopropionamides. These amides were cyclized via Bischler-Napieralski reaction to yield after hydrolytic deprotection 1-(aminoethyl)tetrahydroisoquinolines. The 1,6,7,11b-tetrahydro-2H-pyrimido[4,3-a]isoquinoline ring system was then built up by condensation of the bicyclic diamines with various carbonic acid derivatives (carbon disulfide, nitroguanidine, tetraethyl orthocarbonate). Along with the applied reaction sequences unexpected side reactions took place. The structures of all isolated compounds were proven and completely assigned on the basis of homo- and heteronuclear correlated 1D and 2D NMR experiments. The in vitro antifungal susceptibility tests with a standard panel of eight pathogenic fungi revealed only weak antimycotic effects of the pyrimidoisoquinolinamine salts, but strong inhibitory activity of the intermediate 1-(aminoethyl)-3,4-dihydroisoquinoline.     

Synthesis of Aristotelia-type alkaloids. Part VIII. Synthesis of (±)-aristolasicone

The revised structure of the indole alkaloid aristolasicone ( 2 ) was confirmed through a convergent total synthesis of the racemic form of this metabolite. The key step involves a one-pot condensation/cyclization reaction between 1-(4-methoxyphenylsulfonyl)-1H-indole-2-acetaldehyde ( 9 ) and (±)-trans-5-(2,6-difluorobenzyloxy)-p-menth-l-en-8-amine ((±)-7). The resulting allohobartine derivative (±)- 13 , obtained in 84% yield, was deprotected and oxidized to (±)-alloscrratenone ((±)- 15 ) which cyclized smoothly to the target molecule (±)-2 upon exposure to BF₃ · Et₂O.     

Synthesis of 1, 5- and 1, 7-dichloro-9H-thioxanthen-9-ones

1, 5-Dichloro-9H-thioxanthen-9-one ( 2 ) was prepared by cyclization of 2-chloro-6-[(2-chlorophenyl)thio]-benzoic acid ( 10 ) obtained from 2-chloro-6-iodobenzoic acid ( 9 ) and 2-chlorobenzenethiol. Similarly, 1, 7-di-chloro-9H-thioxanthen-9-one ( 6 ) was prepared from 9 via 2-chloro-6-[(4-chlorophenyl)thio]benzoic acid ( 11 ). Compound 6 was also obtained by condensation of 2-chloro-6-mercaptobenzoic acid ( 12 ) with chlorobenzene in the presence of sulfuric acid.     

Synthesis of new benzo[<Emphasis Type="Italic">c</Emphasis>]phenanthridine derivatives

Three-component condensation of naphthalen-1-amine with triethyl orthoformate and dimedone or cyclopentane-1,3-dione, as well as the reaction of naphthalen-1-amine with 2-acetyl-5,5-dimethylcyclohexane-1,3-dione, gave the corresponding 2-[1-(α-naphthylamino)alkylidene]cycloalkane-1,3-diones which underwent intramolecular cyclization to 7,8,9,10-tetrahydrobenzo[c]phenanthridin-7-one derivatives on heating in polyphosphoric acid. 9,9-Dimethyl-7,8,9,10-tetrahydrobenzo[c]phenanthridin-7-one was reduced to 9,9-dimethyl-7,8,9,10-tetrahydrobenzo[c]phenanthridin-7-ol with sodium tetrahydridoborate.

Summary. Various routes for an effective synthesis of 1,6,7,11b-tetrahydro-2H-pyrimido[4,3-a]isoquinolin-4-amine and its 9-methoxy derivative, which were designed as tricyclic triaza-analogues with stable positive charge to mimic carbocationic high energy intermediates (HEI) of the ergosterol biosynthesis, were investigated.

Palladium(II) complexes with 1-allyl-3-(2-pyridyl)thiourea: Synthesis and spectroscopic characterization

New Pd(II) complexes with 1-allyl-3-(2-pyridyl)thiourea (APTU) of the formulas [Pd(C₉H₁₁N₃S)Cl₂] (I) and [Pd(C₉H₁₁N₃S)₂]Cl₂ (II) were obtained and examined by UV-Vis, IR, and 1H NMR spectroscopy. The conditions for the complexation reactions were optimized. The instability constants and molar absorption coefficients of these complexes were calculated. Comparison of the characteristic bands in the UV-Vis and IR spectra of the complexes and free APTU revealed that the ligand in both complexes is coordinated to the metal atom in the thione form in the bidentate chelating mode through the S atom of the thiourea group and the pyridine N atom. In the UV-Vis spectra of the complexes, the charge transfer bands (π → π* Py) and n → π* (C=N_Py), (C=S) experience hypsochromic shifts by 450–470 cm⁻¹ caused by the coordination of APTU to the metal ion, which gives rise to ligand-metal charge-transfer bands (C=N_Py → Pd, n → π* (C=S)) and (SPd). The protons in the 6-, 4-, and 3-positions of the pyridine ring and the thiourea NH proton in the chelate ring are most sensitive to the complexation.     

Cascade synthesis of 2-amino-5-(4-methoxyphenyl)-4-phenyl-1,3-thiazole by reaction of 4-chloro-<Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-[2,2-dichloro-1-(4-methoxyphenyl)-2-phenylethyl]benzenesulfonamide with thiourea

4-Chloro-N-[2,2-dichloro-1-(4-methoxyphenyl)-2-phenylethyl]benzenesulfonamide reacted with thiourea on heating in DMF in the presence of sodium carbonate to give 5-(4-methoxyphenyl)-4-phenyl-1,3-thiazole-2-amine. A probable reaction scheme includes cyclization of the initial N-dichloroethyl amide to N-sulfonyl-2,3-diaryl-2-chloroaziridine which undergoes isomerization with opening of the three-membered ring to 1-arylsulfonylamino-2-chloro-2-(4-methoxyphenyl)-1-phenylethene. The subsequent heterocyclization in the reaction with thiourea is accompanied by aromatization via elimination of the arenesulfonamide fragment.
