A new approach to synthesis of 2-sulfonylamino-1,2,4-triazolo[1,5-<Emphasis Type="Italic">a</Emphasis>]pyrimidines

A procedure for synthesis of 2-sulfonylamino-1,2,4-triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidines by sulfonylation of 2-amino-4,7-dihydro-1,2,4-triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidines, followed by oxidation of intermediate 2-sulfonylamino-4,7-dihydro-1,2,4-triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidines, was suggested.     

A synthesis of 6-functionalized 4,7-dihydro[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidines

6-Unsubstituted 7-R-4,7-dihydro-1,2,4-triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidines (R = H or Me) were synthesized via two pathways: (a) deacylation of the corresponding 5-acetyl Biginelli-like precursors in KOH/H₂O and (b) reduction of the corresponding 1,2,4-triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidines using LiAlH₄. The products could be easily formylated at position 6, which is promising for the further synthesis of functionalized 6-substituted derivatives of 4,7-dihydro-1,2,4-triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidines. In contrast, 6-acetyl-7-(4-(N,N-dimethylaminophenyl))-5-methyl-4,7-dihydro-1,2,4-triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine undergoes a cascade process in KOH/H₂O, leading to the formation of a 4,5,8,9-tetrahydro[1,2,4]triazolo[5,1-b]quinazoline derivative.     

2-amino-4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-1,2,4-triazolo[1,5-<Emphasis Type="Italic">a</Emphasis>]pyrimidines: Synthesis and reactions with electrophilic reagents

The hydrogenation of 2-amino-5-R-7-R′-4,7-dihydro-1,2,4-triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidines with NaBH₄ led to the formation of 2-amino-5-R-7-R′-4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-1,2,4-triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidines. Acylation, sulfonylation, and alkylation of these compounds depending on conditions and the reagent character occur at the amino group, atoms N³ or N⁴. The treatment with alkali of 2-amino-3-benzyl-5-R-7-R′-4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-1,2,4-triazolo-[1,5-a]pyrimidinium bromide resulted in 2-amino-3-benzyl-5-R-7-R′-3,5,6,7-tetrahydro-1,2,4-triazolo[1,5-a]-pyrimidine, similar reaction of 2-acetamido-3-benzyl-5-R-7-R′-4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-1,2,4-triazolo[1,5-a]-pyrimidinium bromide gave a mesoionic product of a hydrogen elimination from the amide nitrogen atom.     

Improved synthesis of 2-amino-1,2,4-triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidines

An improved procedure is suggested for preparing 2-amino-1,2,4-triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidines from 3,5-diamino-1,2,4-triazole and unsaturated aromatic ketones, with acetyl protection of the amino group in the step of oxidation of 2-amino-4,7-dihydro-1,2,4-triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidines.

An unusual aromatisation of the dihydropyrimidine fragment in 6-nitro-7-substituted-4,7-dihydro-1,2,4-triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidines has first been found to occur in parallel with reduction of the nitro group using a number of reducing agents.

Naphthyridines. Part 3: First example of the polyfunctionally substituted 1,2,4-triazolo[1,5-g][1,6]naphthyridines ring system

Treatment of 1,2,4-triazoles (1) with diethylmalonate in bromobenzene gave 1,2,4-triazolo-[1,5-a]pyridines 2. Chlorination of 2 using POCl₃/DMF (Vilsmeier reagent) led to the isolation of 7-chloro-6-formyl-1,2,4-triazolo[1,5-a]pyridine derivative 4, which reacted with the stabilized ylid 5 to afford 6-ethoxycarbonylvinyl-1,2,4-triazolo[1,5-a]-pyridines 6. Azidation of 6 yielded the corresponding azido compound 7, (Scheme 2). Reduction of 7 with Na₂S₂O₄ gave the corresponding 7-amino compound 8, which cyclized in boiling DMF to give the novel 1,2,4-triazolo[1,5-g][1,6]naphthyridines 9. On the other hand, reacting 7 with one equivalent of PPh₃ (aza-Wittig reaction) in CH₂Cl₂ gave 7-imino-phosphorane derivative 10, and subsequent cyclization in boiling DMF afforded the new 1,2,4-triazolo[1,5-g][1,6]naphthyridine derivative 11 (Scheme 3). However, treatment of 10 with phenyl isothiocyanate in 1,2-dichlorobenzene at reflux temperature gave the new 1,2,4-triazolo[1,5-g][1,6]naphthyridine derivative 14 (Scheme 4). Refluxing 6 with excess of a primary amines 15a,b in absolute. EtOH yielded the corresponding 7-alkyl-amino-1,2,4-triazolo[1,5-a]pyridines 16a,b. These obtained amines 16a,b underwent intramolecular heterocyclization in boiling DMF to give the novel 9-alkyl-1,2,4-triazolo[1,5-g][1,6]-naphthyridines 17a,b, in excellent yields (Scheme 5).

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 ).

Both tautomeric forms were isolated for a number of these compounds. PMR spectroscopy was used to show that the enamine form is predominant in DMSO in contrast to the case in CHCl₃.For Communication 3, see [1].Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 10, pp. 1353–1356, October, 1993.     

Platinum(IV) complexes with purine analogs. Studies of molecular structure and antiproliferative activity in vitro

A series of tetrachloride platinum(IV) compounds of the general formulae PtCl₄L₂, where L = 1,2,4-triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine (tp) (1), 5,7-dimethyl-1,2,4-triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine (dmtp) (2), 5,7-ditertbutyl-1,2,4-triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine (dbtp) (3) and 5-methyl-1,2,4-triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidin-7(4H)-one (HmtpO) (4) have been prepared and characterized by thermal analysis, ¹H, ¹³C, ¹⁵N, ¹⁹⁵Pt NMR and IR spectroscopy. Spectral data suggest that the triazolopyrimidines act as a monodentate ligand via the nitrogen atom N(3). The preliminary assessments of antitumor properties of the four complexes were evaluated as in vitro antiproliferative activity against three cell lines: HL-60 human acute promyelocytic leukemia, SW707 rectal adenocarcinoma and HCV29T bladder cancer. PtCl₄(dbtp)₂ exhibits high cytotoxic activity against all human cell lines, whereas the other complexes are only moderately active.

The effect of the azole ring on the conformational mobility of the dihydropyrimidine ring in 4,7-dihydroazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidines as judged from MNDO calculations

The equilibrium geometries of 4,7-dihydropyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine, 4,7-dihydrotetrazolo [1,5-a]pyrimidine, 4,7-dihydro-1,2,4-triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine, and 1,4-di-hydropyrimido [1,2-a]imidazole were calculated by the semiempirical quantum-chemical MNDO method. The dihydropyrimidine ring exhibits high conformational mobility in all of these compounds. The change in the energy occurring in the transition of the molecule to the boat conformation with an angle between the planar fragments of ±20° does not exceed 1 kcal mol^–1. The mobility of the dihydro ring increases as interactions between the -systems of the azole ring and the C=C double bond separated by an imino group and a methylene bridge decrease.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.
