One-Step conversion of pyridine N-oxides to tetrazolo[1,5-a]pyridines

Pyridine N-oxides were converted to tetrazolo[1,5-a]pyridines in good to excellent yield by heating in the presence sulfonyl or phosphoryl azides and pyridine in the absence of solvent. Various sulfonyl and phosphoryl azides were screened for reactivity under a standard set of conditions. Diphenyl phosphorazidate was the most convenient reagent and gave high yields. Reaction optimization, scope, and scalability are discussed.

Palladium-catalyzed oxidative formal [4 + 1] annulation of pyridine-substituted acrylonitriles toward divergent fused N-heterocycles synthesis is reported. The heterodifunctionalization reaction with Cu(OAc)₂ and urea as the nitrogen source accesses to nitrile-substituted pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyridines in moderate to good yields, while the homodifunctionalization reaction with FeBr₃ leads to synthesis of nitrile-substituted indolizines in excellent yields.

Ammonium chloride as a very inexpensive and readily available reagent efficiently catalyzes one-pot, three-component Groebke condensation reactions of aldehydes, isocyanides, and 2-aminopyridines or 2-aminopyrimidines in methanol to afford the corresponding imidazo[1,2-a]pyridines in high yields at room temperature.

Mass spectral fragmentation patterns of isomeric s-Triazolo[4,3-a]pyridines and s-triazolo[1,5-a]pyridines

The major decomposition pathway involved in the fragmentation of derivatives of the title ring systems was the loss of RCN from the five-membered ring, except when this ring had a 3-amino,3-hydroxyl or 3-mercapto substituent. In these cases, the exocyclic substituent and at least one nitrogen atom from the five-membered ring were lost.     

Synthesis of a novel class of steroidal tetrazolo[1,5-a]pyridines via intramolecular 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions

A facile synthesis of a novel class of steroidal A/B/D-ring annulated tetrazolo[1,5-a]pyridine derivatives has been accomplished via intramolecular 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction of azide with nitrile in aprotic solvent. The synthesis of D-ring annulated tetrazolo[1,5-a]pyridine in alcohol showed incorporation of an alcohol molecule into the heterocyclic system.     

Direct arylation of tetrazolo[1,5-a]pyridine and its benzenologues

Diphenyliodonium fluoroborate proved to be a suitable reagent for direct arylation of bridge head nitrogen containing fused heteroaromatic systems. By this one step method, 1-aryl-tetrazolo[1,5-a]pyridinium salt (3) can be obtained. Arylation of related benzenologues gave not only 1-aryl but also 2-aryltetrazolium salts.
