Electrophilic heterocyclization of 6-alken(yn)ylsulfanyl-pyrazolo[3,4-<Emphasis Type="Italic">d</Emphasis>]pyrimidin-4(5<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>)-ones

6-Allylsulfanyl-1-arylpyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-4(5H)-ones react with iodine and sulfuric acid to give angular pyrazolothiazolopyrimidine derivatives. The reaction of 6-(prop-2-yn-1-ylsulfanyl)-1-(4-tolyl)-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-4(5H)-one with sulfuric acid gives angularly fused pyrazolo[4,3-e][1,3]thiazolo-[3,2-a]pyrimidin-4-one, whereas in the reaction with sodium methoxide linearly fused pyrazolo[3,4-d][1,3]-thiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidin-4-one was formed. Linearly fused pyrazolo[3′,4′:4,5]pyrimido[2,1-b][1,3]thiazole derivatives were also obtained by reaction of 1-aryl-6-(3-phenylprop-2-en-1-ylsulfanyl)pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-4(5H)-ones with sulfuric acid.     

Iodocyclization of 2-[allyl(methallyl)sulfanyl]-6-(trifluoromethyl)pyrimidin-4(3<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>)-ones

2-(2-propynylsulfanyl)-5,6,7,8-tetrahydrobenzo[b]thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4(3H)-one with arylsulfenyl chlorides in chloroform gave products of anti-Markownikoff Ad _E-addition. The use of nitromethane as solvent in the presence of lithium perchlorate additives favored intramolecular electrophilic cyclization into 1-arylsulfanyl-1,2,6,7,8,9-hexahydro-4H-benzo[4,5]thieno[3,2-e][1,3]thiazolo[3,2-a]-pyrimidin-5-one.     

Fused Pyrimidine Systems: XVII. Imidazo- and Pyrimidopyrido[3,2-<Emphasis Type="Italic">d</Emphasis>]pyrimidin-4(3<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>)-ones

2-(Allylamino)pyrido[3,2-d]pyrimidin-4(3H)-one was converted to linearly fused dihydroimidazo- [1,2-a]pyrido[3,2-d]pyrimidine on heating in polyphosphoric acid, whereas its reactions with molecular iodine and chlorosulfanylarenes afforded mainly angularly fused analogs. 2-(Cinnamylamino)pyrido[3,2-d]pyrimidin- 4(3H)-one reacted with polyphosphoric acid and chlorosulfanylarenes to give linear pyrido[3,2-d]pyrimido-[1,2-a]pyrimidinones, and its iodocyclization led to the formation of angularly fused derivative.     

Fused pyrimidine systems: XVI. Electrophilic intramolecular cyclization of 2-(alkenylsulfanyl)pteridin-4(3<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>)-ones

2-[Allyl(but-3-en-1-yl, pent-4-en-1-yl)sulfanyl]pteridin-4(3Н)-ones at heating in polyphosphoric acid undergo an intramolecular cyclization affording respectively 9-methyl-8,9-dihydro-5H-[1,3]thiazolo[3,2-a] pteridin-5-one and 10-methyl(ethyl)-9,10-dihydro-5Н,8Н-[1,3]thiazino[3,2-a]pteridin-5-ones of angular structure. The cyclization of 2-(alkenylsulfanyl)pteridin-4(3Н)-ones under the action of iodine or arylsulfenyl chlorides afforded iodo(arylsulfanyl) derivatives of angularly fuzed thiazolo- and thiazinopteridines.     

Cyclocondensation of <Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-aryl-3-oxobutanethioamides with 1<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>-1,2,4-triazol-5-amine

Reactions of N-aryl-3-oxobutanethioamides with 1H-1,2,4-triazole-5-amine give mixtures of 7-arylamino-5-methyl[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidines, 5-methyl-4,7-dihydro[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine-7-thione, 7-methyl-4,5-dihydro[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine-5-thione, and 5-arylamino-7-methyl[1,2,4]triazolo[ 1,5-a]pyrimidines whose ratio depends on the substituent in the aryl group of initial N-aryl-3-oxobutanethioamide and solvent nature (the presence of a proton-donor solvent).     

An efficient synthesis of 1,3-diaryl-pyrrolo[1,2-<Emphasis Type="Italic">a</Emphasis>]quinoxalines from 2-(1h-pyrrol-1-yl)phenylamines

The condensation of 1,3-diaryl-4-bromo-2-buten-1-ones with o-phenylenediamine leads to 2-[2,4-diaryl-1H-pyrrol-1-yl]phenylamines. Heating solutions of these compounds in formic acid leads to formylation and intramolecular condensation to give 1,3-diarylpyrrolo[1,2-a]quinoxalines. The acylation of 2-[2,4-diphenyl-1H-pyrrol-1-yl]phenylamine with acetic anhydride in acetic acid leads to an acetamide, which readily cyclizes to give 4-methyl-1,3-diphenylpyrrolo[1,2-a]quinoxaline upon heating with POCl₃.

2-Cyanomethyl derivatives were obtained of imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine, imidazo[1,2-a]pyrimidine, and imidazo[2,1-b]thiazole, and their reactivity was investigated by an example of imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine: It was subjected to nitration, bromination, azo coupling and nitrosation. Acylation of the methylene group effected by amino acids esters with a subsequent addition of the amino group to the cyano group resulted in the formation of 5-amino-4-imidazo[1,2-a]-pyridin-2-yl-1-phenyl-1,2-dihydro-3H-pyrrol-3-one and 2-amino-1-ethyl-3-imidazol[1,2-a]pyridin-2-yl-4(1H)-quinolinone.

The X-ray crystal structure of the latter was established.     

Synthesis of azepino[1,2-<Emphasis Type="Italic">a</Emphasis>]benzimidazoles and imidazo[1,2-<Emphasis Type="Italic">a</Emphasis>]azepines

Fusion of 4-bromo-1,3-diphenyl-2-buten-1-ones (γ-bromodypnones) with 1,2-dimethyl-1H-benzimidazole and further treatment of the reaction product with a base (morpholine) gives 7,9-diaryl-5-methyl5,10-dihydroazepino[1,2-a]benzimidazol-11-ium bromides. The reaction of γ-bromodypnone with 1-alkyl-2-methyl-1H-imidazoles in benzene at 25 °C gives quaternary azolium salts. Upon heating their solutions in alcohol in the presence of K₂CO₃ the latter cyclize to 1-R-6,8-diaryl-1,5-dihydroimidazo[1,2-a]azepin-4-ium bromides or 1-R-6,8-diaryl-1H-imidazo[1,2-a]azepines depending on the nature of the substituent in the benzene rings and the substituent at the N(1) atom of the imidazole.

(E)-3-{5-[3-(Trifluoromethyl)phenyl]furan-2-yl}propenoic acid (I) was prepared from 5-[3-(tri-fluoromethyl)phenyl]furan-2-carbaldehyde under the Doebner’s conditions. The obtained acid was converted to the corresponding azide II, which was cyclized by heating in diphenyl ether to 2-[3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-4,5-dihydrofuro[3,2-c]pyridin-4-one (III). This compound was aromatized with phosphorus oxychloride to chloroderivative IV which was reduced with H₂NNH₂-Pd/C to the title compound V. 2-[3-(Trifluoromethyl)phenyl]furo[3,2-c]pyridin-5-oxide (VI) was synthesized by reaction of V with 3-chloroperoxybenzoic acid in dichloromethane. On treatment of VI with benzoyl chloride and potassium cyanide (Reissert-Henze reaction), corresponding 2-[3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]furo[3,2-c]pyridine-1-carbonitrile (VII) resulted. 5-Amino-2-[3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]furo[3,2-c]pyridin-5-ium-4-methylbenzene sulfonate (VIII) was prepared by direct N-amination of the title compound V with 1-[(aminooxy)sulfonyl]-4-methylbenzene in dichloromethane. Then, VIII was transformed to a non-isolated zwitterionic N-imid IX which afforded the corresponding furo[3,2-c]pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyridine carboxylic acid esters X, XI by 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reactions with dimethyl but-2-ynedionate (DBD) or ethyl propiolate. The structures of all compounds were confirmed by their IR and NMR spectra.

Regioselectivity of cyclization of 3-allyl(propargyl)sulfanyl-5<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>-[1,2,4]triazino[5,6-<Emphasis Type="Italic">b</Emphasis>]indoles

The interaction of 3-allylsulfanyl-5H-[1,2,4]triazino[5,6-b]indole with iodine led to 1-iodomethyl-1,2-dihydro[1,3]thiazolo[2',3':3,4][1,2,4]triazino[5,6-b]indol-11-ium pentaiodide with an angular structure, on the basis of which 1-iodomethyl-1,2-dihydro[1,3]thiazolo-, 1-methylidene-1,2-di-hydro[1,3]thiazolo, and 1-methyl[1,3]thiazolo derivatives were obtained. The intramolecular cyclization of 3-propargyl(allyl)sulfanyl-5H-[1,2,4]triazino[5,6-b]indoles under the influence of concentrated sulfuric acid led to linear annelated products:3-methyl[1,3]thiazolo[3',2':2,3][1,2,4]tri-azino[5,6-b]indole or its 2,3-dihydro derivative.

The chlorine atom in derivate V was replaced with heterocyclic secondary amines via nucleophilic substitution and 4-substituted furopyridines VIa and VIb were thus prepared. 2-[3-(Trifluoromethyl)phenyl]furo[3,2-c]pyridine-4-carboxylic acid (VII) was obtained by hydrolysis of the corresponding carbonitrile Va.
