Research on imidazo[1,2-a] benzimidazole derivatives

,-Unsaturated ketones of the imidazo[1,2-a]benztmidazole series were synthesized from 3-formyl- and 3-acetyl-substituted imidazo[1,2-a]benzimidazoles by crotonic condensation in the presence of alkaline catalysts. The ,-unsaturated ketones can also be obtained by direct acylation of 3-unsubstituted imidazo[1,2-a]benzimidazoles with the chlorides of unsaturated acids. The properties and pharmacological activity of the ketones obtained were studied.See [1] for communication XIII.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 12, pp. 1660–1665, December, 1976.     

Synthesis of Functionalized 2-(2-Pyrrolyl)pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidines

Reactions of 5-amino-3-(2-pyrrolyl)pyrazoles with -dicarbonyl compounds (acetylacetone and ethyl acetoacetate) lead to formation of up to 90% of polysubstituted pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidines.     

Partially Hydrogenated Aromatic Substituted Tetrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidines

By treating 5-aminotetrazole with aromatic ,-unsaturated ketones or with Mannich base hydrochlorides there have been synthesized aromatic substituted 4,7-dihydrotetrazolo[1,5-a]-pyrimidines. They can be reduced to the corresponding 4,5,6,7-tetrahydro derivatives by the action of NaBH₄. The high thermodynamic stability of the 4,7-dihydrotetrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidines when compared with the 4,5-dihydro isomers has been revealed. Reaction of 5-aminotetrazole both with cyclohexanone as well as with 2-cyclohexylidenecyclohexanone leads to formation of 9,9-pentamethylene-4,5,6,7,8,9-hexahydrotetrazolo[5,1-b]quinazoline, the structure of which was demonstrated using X-ray crystallography.     

Synthesis of pyrido [1',2':4,3 ]-s-triazolo[1,5-a]-pyrimidinium salts

Pyrido[l',2':4,3]-s-triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidinium perchlorates were obtained by the condensation of 3-amino-s-triazolo[4,3-a]pyridinium perchlorate with -diketones, -chlorovinyl ketones, -chlorovinyl aldehydes, and 1,1,3,3-tetraethoxypropane. Unsymmetrical -diketones, -chlorovinyl ketones, and -chlorovinyl aldehydes in this reaction give mixtures of isomeric products that differ with respect to the position of the substituents in the pyrimidine ring. The structures of the reaction products and their ratios in the reaction mixture were determined by means of the PMR spectra.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 10, pp. 1433–1435, October, 1971     

2-Methylthio-4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-1,2,4-triazolo[1,5-<Emphasis Type="Italic">a</Emphasis>]pyrimidin-5- and -7-Ones

The reaction involving arylidene derivatives of Meldrums acid or its synthetic equivalents in ethyl acetate with a catalytic amount of pyridine gives a mixture of 2-methylthio-4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-1,2,4-triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidin-5- and -7-ones.__________Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 2, pp. 246–251, February, 2005.     

3-α-Halocarbonyl derivatives of pyrazolo[1,5-a] benzimidazole and their reactions

3-(-haloacyl)-2,4-dialkylpyrazolo[1,5-a]benzimidazoles can be obtained either by brominating 3-acetylpyrazolo[1,5-a]benzimidazoles with bromine in acetic acid, or by acylating the 3-unsubstituted pyrazolobenzimidazoles with haloacetic halides. Halogenation of 3-acetylpyrazolo[1,5-a]benzimidazoles with bromine in acetic acid in the presence of sodium acetate, and bromination with N-bromosuccinimide or 1-chlorobenzotriazole, result in deacylation to give 3,6(7)-dibromo- and 3-chloropyrazolo[1,5-a]benzimidazoles. The mono- and trihaloketones obtained have been used to prepare the corresponding aminoketones, the 3-carboxylic acid, and its derivatives.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 1, pp. 43–48, January, 1988.

Condensation of alkyl -haloacetoacetates (or -chloroacetoacetanilide) with triethoxymethane and primary (hetero)aromatic amines gives in a one step synthesis under mild conditions new ,-diacyl-enamines (2 a-m, 3 a-d). In contrast, the N-alkylsubstituted derivatives could be synthesized only in a two step procedurevia the enolethers6 a, b. According to their ir-specra, most of the aminomethylene--haloacetoacetic acid derivatives are stereochemically fixed either in theE- orZ-form. The pmr-spectra, however, show that they exist as mixtures of at least two isomers in solution.With KOH or sodium acetate, a ring closure to 3-hydroxy-pyrroles (8, 9) could be achieved whereas with pyridine only quarternary pyridinium salts (11) are formed. Acidic (orLewis acidic) condensing agents leave the chloroacetyl group unaffected and give either free carboxylic acids (2 p-r) pyrido-[1,2-a]pyrimidones (12) or 4-quinolones (13), depending on the type of the molecule and the reaction temperatures employed.

Preparation and stereochemical characterization of some N-acyl-[1]benzopyrano[3,4-c]pyrazole derivatives from rotenoids

Summary Several new N-acyl derivatives of 1-(4-hydroxy-2,3-dihydrobenzofuran-5-yl)-7,8-di methoxy-1,9 b,2,3,3 a,4-hexahydro-[1]benzopyrano[3,4-c]pyrazole-1-ene have been prepared by appropriate chemical transformation of isohydrazones of rotenone and amorphigenin. A study of their¹H- and¹³C-NMR spectra confirmed the presence of the twocis 3a, 9b, 2 and 3a, 9b, 2 diastereomers in the parent isohydrazones and revealed the strong predominance of the conformers withendo orientation of the 3-NAc group. The conformations due to rotation about the 1,5-bond between rings C and D in the 4-OH and 4-O-substituted compounds were also determined by taking into account the anisotropic effect of aromatic rings A and D, and the hydrogen bond between 4-OH and the 2-N atom, as well as by inspecting the Dreiding models.

Studies of imidazo[1,2-a]benzimidazole derivatives. 21. Synthesis of haloketones in the imidazo[1,2-a] benzimidazole series

Methods for the synthesis of imidazo[1,2-a]benzimidazole haloketone derivatives have been investigated. It has been found that -bromoketone derivatives of this heterocycle can be prepared either by bromination of 3-acylimidazo[1,2-a]benz-imidazoles with bromine in glacial acetic acid or by acylation of 3-unsubstituted imidazo[1,2-a]benzimidazoles with haloanhydride derivatives of -bromoalkanoic acids. Treatment of imidazo[1,2-a]benzimidazoles with 3-chloropropionyl chloride results in the formation of imidazo[1,2-a]benzimidazolyl-3-propionyl chloride and bis(imidazo[1,2-a]benzimidazolyl)propan-3-one derivatives as side products. Reaction of 2-phenylimidazo[1,2-a]benzimidazoles with 3-bromopropionic acid in polyphosphoric acid gives benzocyclohepten[5,6:4,5]imidazo[1,2-a]benzimidazole derivatives.For Communication 20, see [1].Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 3, pp. 339–345, March, 1986.
