Heterotricyclic systems. Part I. Synthesis of new dipyridopyrazines

Pursuing our previous research on azaquinoxalinones (1,2-dihydropyrido[2,3-b]/[3,4-b]pyrazinones) we prepared, through a reductive cyclization of N-(3′-nitropyridin-2′-yl)piperidine-2-carboxylic acids 3a-c , a set of derivatives of a new tricyclic structure, 7,8,9,10-tetrahydro-5H-dipyrido[1,2-a:3′,2′-e]pyrazin-6(6aH)-ones 4a-c. Starting from these compounds we obtained substituted amides 5a-c and, from 4a , the amidines 6a-c. In the synthesis of 6 , a dehydrogenation reaction occurred giving rise to 7. The compounds 9 and 10 , characterized by a different ring-fusion between the pyridine and pyrazine rings, were synthesized in a similar manner.     

Synthese von Furo [2,3-b]chinolinen

A new route to furo[2,3-b]quinolines has been developed based on the use of N-arylaconamides as starting materials. These anilides when heated with polyphosphoric acid, readily underwent intramolecular cyclization to furnish the respective 1,2-dihydro-2-oxo-quinoline-3-acetic acids which were then transformed into the corresponding dihydrofuro[2,3-b]quinolines by literature procedures. Sequential treatment of the dihydro compound withNBS andDBU afforded the corresponding furo[2,3-b]quinoline. The NMR spectra of the furoquinolines are discussed.

Synthesis and transformations of 3-(1H-pyrrol-1-yl)thieno[2,3-b]pyridines

Reactions of 2,5-dimethoxytetrahydrofuran with 3-aminothieno[2,3-b]pyridines afford a number of substituted 3-(1H-pyrrol-1-yl)thieno[2,3-b]pyridines. The possibility of the reaction and the yield of the product are determined by the character of a substituent in position 2 of thieno[2,3-b]pyridine. The Curtius rearrangement of 2-acylazido-3(1H-pyrrol-1-yl)thieno[2,3-b]pyridines yields 4,5-dihydropyrido[3",2":4,5]thieno[2,3-e]pyrrolo[1,2-a]pyrazin-4-ones. The molecular and crystal structures of ethyl 4-methoxymethyl-6-methyl-3-(1H-pyrrol-1-yl)thieno[2,3-b]pyridine-2-carboxylate were determined by X-ray diffraction analysis.     

Heterocyclic β-Enamino esters. 28. The reaction of heterocyclic β-Enamino esters and nitriles with cyclic amidines. A simple route to azolopyrimidines

Whereas 2-amino-3-ethoxycarbonyl-4,5-dihydrofurans Ia-c condense with 5-membered amidine derivatives, via elimination of ethanol to afford the azolopyrimidines IIIa,b, XI, and XIVa,b, the 2-amino-3-cyano-4,5-dihydrofurans Id,e give with the same reagents, under elimination of ammonia, the novel ring systems of furo-azolopyrimidines XVIII and XXa,b. 2-Amino-3-ethoxycarbonyl-5,6-dihydro-4H-thiopyrane (XXI) reacts with 5-amino-1,2,4-triazole (II) to yield the triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine XXII, and with 2-aminobenzimidazole to XXIII. The mechanism of these reactions is discussed. XIVb and VIIb are cyclized in a secondary step to give the novel furo[2,3-d]benzimidazo[1,2-a]pyrimidine XXVI, and furo[2,3-d]-1,2,4-triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine XXVIII respectively, besides the acetoxy derivatives XVII and XXIX.

To determine the structures of two isomeric products, 2-phenacylidene-1,2-dihydro-4H-pyrido[2,3-b]pyrazin-3-one (2) and 3-phenacylidene-3,4-dihydro-1H-pyrido[2,3-b]pyrazin-2-one (3) obtained by condensation of 2,3-diaminopyridine (1) with ethyl benzoylpyruvate [1–3], these compounds were hydrolyzed to give 2-methyl-4H-pyrido[2,3-b]pyrazin-3-one (4) and 3-methyl-1H-pyrido[2,3-b]pyrazin-2-one (5) , respectively [4,5]. Both hydrolysates 4 and 5 were hydrogenated to afford 2-methyl-1,2-dihydro-4H-pyrido[2,3-b]pyrazin-3-one (6) and 3-methyl-3,4-dihydro-1H-pyrido[2,3-b]pyrazin-2-one (7) . The latter compound was identical with an unequivocally synthesized compound providing proof for the structures of all these compounds.     

Heterocycles structurally influenced by a side chain. X. Effect of temperature and side chain on the imine-enamine tautomerism in the quinoxalinone and pyridopyrazinone systems

3-(1-Benzoyl)ethyl-1H-pyrido[2,3-b]pyrazin-2-one ( 7 ), 3-(1-ethoxycarbonyl)ethyl-1H-pyrido[2,3-b]-pyrazin-2-one ( 8 ), and 3-(1-benzoyl)ethyl-1H-quinoxalin-2-one ( 9 ) exist only in the imine form due to the steric effect of the methyl substituent. As regards the imine-enamine tautomerism, 3-(β-carbonylmethylene) derivatives of 1,2-dihydro-4H-pyrido[2,3-b]pyrazin-3-one such as 12 and 15–18 gradually change from the enamine form to the imine form with elevated temperatures; however, 3-(carbonylmethylene) derivatives of 3,4-dihydro-1H-pyrido[2,3-b]pyrazin-2-one such as 10, 19 and 20 show little temperature effect. 2-Phenacylidene-1,2-dihydro-4H-pyrido[3,4-b]pyrazin-3-one ( 21 ) and 3-phenacylidene-3,4-dihydro-1H-pyrido[3,4-b]pyrazin-2-one ( 22 ), which exist in the enamine form, show no temperature effect.     

Furopyridines. III. A new synthesis of furo[3,2-b]pyridine

A convenient synthesis of furo[3,2-b]pyridine and its 2- and 3-methyl derivatives from ethyl 3-hydroxypiconate ( 1 ) is described. The hydroxy ester 1 was O-alkylated with ethyl bromoacetate or ethyl 2-bromopropionate to give the diester 2a or 2b . Cyclization of compound 2a afforded ethyl 3-hydroxyfuro[3,2-b]pyridine-2-carboxylate ( 3 ) which in turn was hydrolyzed and decarboxylated to give furo[3,2-b]pyridin-3-(2H)-one ( 4a ). Cyclization of 2b gave the 2-methyl derivative 4b . Reduction of 4a and 4b with sodium borohydride yielded the corresponding hydroxy derivative 5a and 5b respectively, which were dehydrated with phosphoric acid to give furo[3,2-b]pyridine ( 6a ) and its 2-methyl derivative ( 6b ). 2-Acetylpyridin-3-ol ( 8 ) was converted to the ethoxycarbonylmethyl ether ( 9 ) by O-alkylation with ethyl bromoacetate, which was cyclized to give 3-methylfuro[3,2-b]pyridine-2-carboxylic acid ( 10 ). Decarboxylation of 10 afforded 3-methylfuro[3,2-b]pyridine ( 11 ).     

Acetylene chemistry. Part 28. New C-2 substituted furo[2,3-b]quinolines via Pd-catalyzed reaction

Furopyridines. V. A simple synthesis of furo[2,3-c]pyridine and its 2-and 3-methyl derivatives

A simple synthesis of furo[2,3-c]pyridine and its 2- and 3-methyl derivatives from ethyl 3-hydroxyisonicotinate ( 2 ) is described. The hydroxy ester 2 was O-alkylated with ethyl bromoacetate or ethyl 2-bromopropionate to give the diester 3a or 3b . Cyclization of compound 3a afforded ethyl 3-hydroxyfuro [2,3-c]pyridine-2-carboxylate ( 4 ) which was hydrolyzed and decarboxylated to give furo[2,3-c]pyridin-3(2H)-one ( 5a ). Cyclization of 3b gave the 2-methyl derivative 5b . Reduction of 5a and 5b with sodium borohydride yielded the corresponding hydroxy derivative 6a and 6b , respectively, which were dehydrated with phosphoric acid to give furo[2,3-c]pyridine ( 7a ) and its 2-methyl derivative 7b . 4-Acetylpyridin-3-ol ( 8 ) was O-alkylated with ethyl bromoacetate to give ethyl 2-(4-acetyl-3-pyridyloxy) acetate ( 9 ). Saponification of compound 9 , and the subsequent intramolecular Perkin reaction gave 3-methylfuro[2,3-c]pyridine ( 10 ). Cyclization of 9 with sodium ethoxide gave 3-methylfuro[2,3-c]pyridine-2-carboxylic acid, which in turn was decarboxylated to give compound 10 .     

2-Dicyanomethylidene-3-ethoxymethylidene-2,3-dihydroindole in the synthesis of fused tri- and tetracyclic systems

The reactions of 2-dicyanomethylidene-3-ethoxymethylidene-2,3-dihydroindole with hydrazine hydrate and phenylhydrazine afforded 2,3-diamino-4-cyanopyrido[4,3-b]indole and 3-amino-2-anilino-4-cyanopyrido[4,3-b]indole, respectively, and the reactions of the latter compounds with dimethylformamide diethyl acetal were studied. The reactions of 2,3-diamino-4-cyanopyrido[4,3-b]indole with benzaldehyde, ethyl acetoacetate, and acetylacetone were investigated. First representatives of new heterocyclic systems, viz., [1,2,4]triazolo[1’,5’:1,6]-pyrido[4,3-b]indole and pyrazolo[1’,5’:1,2]pyrido[4,3-b]indole, were synthesized. The structure of ethyl 6-cyano-5-[(E)-(dimethylamino)methylideneamino]-2-methyl-7H-pyrazolo-[1’,5’:1,2]pyrido[4,3-b]indole-1-carboxylate was established by X-ray diffraction.     

Furopyridines. XXI. Synthesis of cyano derivatives of furo-[2,3-b]-, -[2,3-c]- and -[3,2-c]pyridine and their conversion to derivatives having another carbon-substituent

Cyanation of furo[2,3-b]-, -[2,3-c]- and -[3,2-c]pyridine N-oxides 1a, 1b and 1c by the Reissert-Henze method, reaction with benzoyl chloride and trimethylsilyl cyanide in dichloromethane and the reaction with trimethylsilyl cyanide and triethylamine in acetonitrile afforded 6-cyanofuro[2,3-b]- 2a , 7-cyanofuro[2,3-c]- 2b and 4-cyanofuro[3,2-c]pyridine 2c in moderate to excellent yield. The cyano group in 2a, 2b and 2c was converted to carboxamides 3a, 3b and 3c , ethyl imidates 5a, 5b and 5c and ethyl carboxylates 6a, 6b and 6c . Reaction of the N-oxides with trimethylsily bromide in acetonitrile gave the deoxygenated furopyridine 7a and 7d , bifuropyridyl 8b and 8c , and the N-oxide 9 of 8c .
