Iodocyclization of 6-allylamino-4,5-dihydropyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidines

6-Allylamino-1-R-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidines treated with iodine in the presence of potassium carbonate are converted into 6-allylamino-1-R-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidines that at further reaction with iodine undergo the cyclization into 6-iodomethyl-1-R-1,6,7,8-tetrahydroimidazo [1,2-a]pyrazolo[3,4-d]-pyrimidin-5-ium iodide of a linear structure. In the absence of potassium carbonate alongside the mentioned linear products 8-iodo-methyl-1-R-1,4,5,6,7,8-hexahydroimidazo[1,2-a]pyrazolo[4,3-e] pyrimidin-9-ium iodides of an angular structure have been obtained.     

Synthesis of heterocycles based on arylation products of unsaturated compounds: XVII. Arylation of 2-acetylfuran and synthesis of 3-R-6-(5-aryl-2-furyl)-7<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>-[1,2,4]triazolo[3,4-<Emphasis Type="Italic">b</Emphasis>][1,3,4]thiadiazines

Reaction of 2-acetylfuran with arenediazonium chlorides under Meerwein reaction conditions led to the formation of 5-aryl-2-acetylfurans. The bromination of these compounds gave 2-bromo-1-(5-aryl-2-furyl)-ethanones that reacted with 4-amino-4H-5-R-1,2,4-triazole-3-thiols to form 3-R-6-(5-aryl-2-furyl)-7H-[1,2,4]triazolo[3,4-b][1,3,4]thiadiazines.     

Azines and azoles: CXXVI. First example of a novel heterocyclic system: Pyrimido[1,6-<Emphasis Type="Italic">a</Emphasis>][1,5]benzodiazepines

4-Hydroxy-5-(2-R-2,3-dihydro-1H-1,5-benzodiazepin-4-yl)-2H-1,3-thiazine-2,6-diones readily undergo acylation at the N¹ atom of the benzodiazepine system by the action of acetic anhydride. Heating of the acetylated products in boiling dimethylformamide leads to the formation of 75–93% of the corresponding 7-acetyl-6-R-6,7-dihydropyrimido[1,6-a][1,5]benzodiazepine-1,3-diones that are derivatives of hitherto unknown fused heterocyclic system, pyrimido[1,6-a][1,5]benzodiazepine. 4-Hydroxy-5-(2-R-2,3-dihydro-1H-1,5-benzodiazepin-4-yl)-2H-1,3-thiazine-2,6-diones are converted into 1-(2-aminophenyl)-6-(2-R-vinyl)uracils on heating in boiling DMF.     

Synthesis of new fluorine-containing pyrazolo[3,4-<Emphasis Type="Italic">b</Emphasis>]pyridinones as promising drug precursors

Methods for the synthesis of 4-R-6,7-dihydro-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridin-6-ones (R = CF₂SAr and 4-CFHSAr) were developed. The derivatives with R = CF₂SAr were obtained by both heterocyclization of 1-substituted 5-aminopyrazoles with ethyl 4,4-difluoro-3-oxo-4-phenylsulfanylbutanoate and replacement of the Br atom in 4-bromodifluoromethyl-6,7-dihydro-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridin-6-ones by sodium arenethiolates. The fragment 4-CF-HSAr was introduced by replacement of the Cl atom in 4-chlorofluoromethyl-6,7-dihydro-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridin-6-ones by sodium arenethiolates. Oxidation of 4-CF₂SPh-6,7-dihydro-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridin-6-ones gave the corresponding sulfoxides; their structures were confirmed by X-ray diffraction data.     

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.     

Synthesis,cytotoxicity and antiviral activity studies of the conjugates of cobalt bis(1,2-dicarbollide)(-I) with 5-ethynyl-2′-deoxyuridine and its cyclic derivatives

A series of novel conjugates of cobalt bis(1,2-dicarbollide)(-I) with 5-ethynyl-2′-deoxyuridine and its cyclic derivatives were synthesized. Conjugates with 5-ethynyl-2-deoxyuridine were prepared by the direct Sonogashira coupling of a series of cobalt bis(1,2-dicarbollide)(-I) terminal alkynes and 5-iodo-2′-deoxyuridine. Their furo[2,3-d]pyrimidin-2(3H)-one isomers were obtained either by intermolecular cyclization of the above conjugates or by Sonogashira coupling using Pd/C as a catalyst. Action of ammonia on these furo[2,3-d]pyrimidin-2(3H)-one conjugates resulted in pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidin-2(3H)-one conjugates. Most of the designed compounds have shown low cytotoxicity in several cell lines. Some 5-ethynyl-2-deoxyuridine and furo[2,3-d]pyrimidin-2(3H)-one conjugates have also presented antiviral activity.     

Reaction of organozine reagents derived from dialkyl 2,2-dibromomalonates and methyl 4,4-dibromo-3-oxoalkanoates with 2-oxochromene-3-carboxamides

Organozinc compounds obtained by treatment of dialkyl 2,2-dibromomalonates with zinc reacted with N-substituted 2-oxochromene-3-carboxamides to give dialkyl 1a-R-carbamoyl-2-oxo-1a,7b-dihydro-2H-cyclopropa[c]chromene-1,1-dicarboxylates or alkyl 2-R-1,3,4-trioxo-2,3-dihydro-1H,9bH-chromeno[3′,4′:1,3]-cyclopropa[1,2-c]pyrrole-9c-carboxylates. Reactions of N-substituted 2-oxochromene-3-carboxamides with zinc enolates derived from methyl 4,4-dibromo-3-oxoalkanoates led to the formation of the corresponding 9c-alkyl-2-R-2,3-dihydrochromeno[3′,4′:1,3]cyclopropa[1,2-c]pyrrole-1,3,4-triones.     

Fluorinated [1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-<Emphasis Type="Italic">a</Emphasis>]pyrimidines and [1,2,4]triazolo[5,1-<Emphasis Type="Italic">c</Emphasis>][1,2,4]triazines*

The reaction of 3-R-5-amino-1,2,4-triazoles with the ethyl ester of 2-fluoroacetoacetic acid gave 2-R-fluoro[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidin-7(4H)-ones. The reaction of a 3-R-1,2,4-triazolyl-5-diazonium salt with the ethyl ester of 2-fluoroacetoacetic acid and subsequent cyclization of the triazolylhydrazones lead to 7-R-3-fluoro[1,2,4]triazolo[5,1-c][1,2,4]triazin-4(1H)-ones.     

Synthesis of new imidazo[1,2-a]pyrazolo[4,3-e]pyrimidin-4(6H)-one derivatives by iodocyclization of 6-alkenyl(alkynyl)-aminopyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-4(5H)-ones

6-Allyl(diallyl, prop-2-yn-1-yl)amino-1-R-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-4(5H)-ones reacted with iodine to give angularly fused 8-iodomethyl-7,8-dihydro-1-R-imidazo[1,2-a]pyrazolo[4,3-e]pyrimidin-4(6H)-ones which were treated with sodium acetate to obtain 8-methylidene-1-R-7,8-dihydroimidazo[1,2-a]pyrazolo-[4,3-e]pyrimidin-4(6H)-ones as a result of elimination of hydrogen iodide. 8-Methylidene-1-R-7,8-dihydroimidazo[1,2-a]pyrazolo[4,3-e]pyrimidin-4(6H)-ones were converted into 8-methyl-1-R-imidazo[1,2-a]pyrazolo-[4,3-e]pyrimidin-4(5H)-ones on heating to the melting point. 8-Methylidene-1-phenyl-7,8-dihydroimidazo-[1,2-a]pyrazolo[4,3-e]pyrimidin-4(6H)-one underwent isomerization into linearly fused 6-methyl-1-phenyl-1,8-dihydro-4H-imidazo[1,2-a]pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-4-one on heating in sulfuric acid.     

Synthesis and structures of adamantyl-substituted constrained geometry cyclopentadienyl-phenoxytitanium complexes and their catalytic properties for olefin polymerization

A number of new constrained geometry titanium complexes, [η⁵: η¹-2-C₅Me₄-4-R-6-Ad-C₆H₂O]TiCl₂ [Ad = adamantyl, R = Me (8), ^tBu (9)] and [η⁵: η¹-C₅H₂Ph₂-4-^tBu-6-Ad-C₆H₂O]TiCl₂ (10), were synthesized from reactions of TiCl₄ either directly with corresponding free ligands, 2-C₅Me₄H-4-R-6-Ad-C₆H₂OH [R = Me (5), ^tBu (6)], or with the dilithium salt of the free ligand 2-C₅H₃Ph₂-4-^tBu-6-Ad-C₆H₂OH (7). These new titanium complexes were fully characterized by ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectroscopy and elemental analyses, and the molecular structures of 8 and 9 were determined by single-crystal X-ray crystallography. Upon activation with AlⁱBu₃ and Ph₃CB(C₆F₅)₄ (TIBA/B), these complexes exhibit high catalytic activity for 5-ethylidene-2-norbornene (ENB) polymerization as well as ethylene/1-hexene and ethylene/ENB copolymerization with good tacticity-control ability for the ENB polymerization and high comonomer incorporation ability for the copolymerization reactions. It was found that the bulky adamantyl substituent at the ortho position of the phenoxy group in the ligands of these complexes apparently influences the molecular weight and the microstructure of the resultant polymers.     

Synthesis of arylamino-substituted pyrazolo[3,4-d][1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]pyrimidinones,pyrazolo[4,3-e][1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]pyrimidinones,and their thermal isomerization

The reaction of 1-(4-oxo-1-R-5H-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-6-yl)-4-arylthiosemicarbazides with methyl iodide gave rise to 1,2,4-triazolo-pyrazolopyrimidinones of linear structure, and with dicyclohexylcarbodiimide the products had angular and linear structure. The heating of compounds obtained higher than their melting point resulted in their isomerization into 7-aryl-amino-1-R-1,8-dihydro-4H-pyrazolo[3,4-d]-[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidin-4-ones.     

Synthesis and molecular structure of spirocyclic 2-oxindole derivatives of 2-amino-4H-pyran condensed with the pyrazolic nucleus

4,3′-Spiro[(6-amino-5-R-3-methyl-2H,4H-pyrano[2,3-c]pyrazolo)-2′-oxindoles] were synthesized based on the three-component condensation of isatins with 3-methyl-pyrazolone-5 and respective methylene active nitriles in the presence of basic catalysts. The molecular structure of the resulting compounds was proved unambiguously by X-ray diffraction.     

Benzyne-mediated rearrangement of 3-(2-pyridyl)-1,2,4-triazines into 10-(1H-1,2,3-triazol-1-yl)pyrido[1,2-a]indoles

The reaction between 5-R-6-R¹-3-(2-pyridyl)-1,2,4-triazines and benzyne generated in situ in toluene under reflux results in the formation of 10-(1H-1,2,3-triazol-1-yl)pyrido[1,2-a]indoles 3 in up to 60% yields instead of the expected 3-R-4-R¹-1-(2-pyridyl)isoquinolines 2. The crystal structure of product 3c and the proposed mechanism for the formation of 3 are reported.     

Cyclopalladation of N-phenyl-4-ferrocenylmethylpyrazoles: Crystal structure of [Pd{κ-C,N-C6H4-1-[(3,5-Me2-C3N2)-CH2-(η-C5H4)Fe(η-C5H5)]}Cl(PPh3)] · CH2Cl2

The synthesis and characterization of pyrazole derivatives of general formula [C₆H₄-4-R-1-{(3,5-Me₂-C₃N₂)-CH₂-(η⁵-C₅H₄)Fe(η⁵-C₅H₅)}] [R = OMe (1a) or H (1b)] with a ferrocenylmethyl substituent are described.The study of the reactivity of compounds 1 with palladium(II) acetate has allowed the isolation of complexes (μ-AcO)₂[Pd{κ²-C,N-C₆H₃-4-R-1-[(3,5-Me₂-C₃N₂)-CH₂-(η⁵-C₅H₄)Fe(η⁵-C₅H₅)]}]₂ (2) [R = OMe (2a) or H (2b)] that contain a bidentate [C(sp², phenyl), N]⁻ ligand and a central “Pd(μ-AcO)₂Pd” unit.Furthermore, treatment of 2 with LiCl produced complexes (μ-Cl)₂[Pd{κ²-C,N-C₆H₃-4-R-1-[(3,5-Me₂-C₃N₂)-CH₂-(η⁵-C₅H₄)Fe(η⁵-C₅H₅)]}]₂ (3) [R = OMe (3a) or H (3b)] that arise from the replacement of the acetato ligands by the Cl⁻.Compounds 2 and 3 also react with PPh₃ giving the monomeric complexes [Pd{κ²-C,N-C₆H₃-4-R-1-[(3,5-Me₂-C₃N₂)-CH₂-(η⁵-C₅H₄)Fe(η⁵-C₅H₅)]}X(PPh₃)] {X⁻ = AcO⁻ and R = OMe (5a) or H (5b) or X⁻ = Cl⁻ and R = OMe (6a) or H (6b)}, where the phosphine is in a cis-arrangement to the metallated carbon atom. Treatment of 3 with thallium(I) acetylacetonate produced [Pd{κ²-C,N-C₆H₃-4-R-1-[(3,5-Me₂-C₃N₂)-CH₂-(η⁵-C₅H₄)Fe(η⁵-C₅H₅)]}(acac)] (7) [R = OMe (7a) or H (7b)]. Electrochemical studies of the free ligands and the cyclopalladated complexes are also reported. The dimeric complexes 3 also react with MeO₂C-CC-CO₂Me (in a 1:4 molar ratio) giving [Pd{(MeO₂C-CC-CO₂Me)₂C₆H₃-4-R-1-[(3,5-Me₂-C₃N₂)-CH₂-(η⁵-C₅H₄)Fe(η⁵-C₅H₅)]}Cl] (8) [R = OMe (8a) or H (8b)], which arise from the bis(insertion) of the alkyne into the σ{Pd-C(sp², phenyl)} bond of 3.     

Purines, pyrimidines, and related fused systems. 21. Oxidative amination of 3-chloro-6,8-dimethylpyrimido[4,5-c]pyridazine-5,7(6H,8H)-dione

Oxidative amination of 3-chloro-6,8-dimethylpyrimido[4,5-c]pyridazine-5,7(6H,8H)-dione with primary alkylamines and potassium amide in liquid ammonia gives rise to the corresponding 4-amino derivatives as the major products. The reactions with acyclic secondary amines are accompanied by annelation of the pyrrole moiety to the starting heterosystem to form 1-R-3-R"-6,8-dimethylpyrrolo[2",3";3,4]pyrimido[4,5-c]pyridazine-7,9(6H,8H)-diones. The reaction with piperidine as the aminating agent occurs exclusively as aminodehalogenation. The Sonogashira cross-coupling of 4-amino-3-chloro-6,8-dimethylpyrimido[4,5-c]pyridazine-5,7(6H,8H)-diones with terminal alkynes affords 1-R-2-R"-6,8-dimethylpyrrolo[3",2";3,4]pyrimido[4,5-c]pyridazine-7,9(6H,8H)-diones.     

New approaches to pyrimido[4,3-b][1,3,5]selenadiazines

The Mannich reactions of (arylmethylidene)(cyano)selenoacetamides with primary amines and formaldehyde gave 3,7-disubstituted 8-R-3,4,7,8-tetrahydro-2H,6H-pyrimido[4,3-b]-[1,3,5]selenadiazine-9-carbonitriles. Alternatively, these compounds can be obtained by reactions of 4-R-2,6-diamino-4H-selenopyran-3,5-dicarbonitriles with primary amines and form-aldehyde or by multicomponent condensation of an appropriate aldehyde, cyanoselenoacet-amide, a primary amine, and formaldehyde.     

The New Di-Gold Metallotweezer Based on an Alkynylpyridine System

We developed a simple method to prepare one gold-based metallotweezer with two planar Au-pyrene-NHC arms bound by a 2,6-bis(3-ethynyl-5-tert-butylphenyl)pyridine unit. This metallotweezer is able to bind a series of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons through the π-stacking interactions between the polyaromatic guests and the pyrene moieties of the NHC ligands. The metallotweezer was also used as a host for the encapsulation of planar metal complexes, such as the Au(III) complex [Au(C^N^C)(C≡CC₆H₄-OCH₃-p)], for which there is a large binding constant of 946 M⁻¹.     

The synthesis,structure, and ethylene polymerization of dimeric salicylaldiminato titanium complexes

A series of dimeric titanium complexes bearing salicylaldiminates, [4-R-6-^tBu-2-(CH=NⁿBu)C₆H₂OTiCl₂(µ-Cl)]₂ [R?=?H (1); R?=?^tBu (2); R?=?NO₂ (3)], have been synthesized in high yield (>90%) by the reaction of corresponding 4-R-6-^tBu-2-(CH=NⁿBu)C₆H₂OSiMe₃ with TiCl₄. The molecular structure of 2 has been confirmed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. When activated with methylaluminoxane, these complexes exhibit good catalytic activity for ethylene polymerization.     

Emission of 2-phenylethanol from its β-d-glucopyranoside and the biogenesis of these compounds from [H8] l-phenylalanine in rose flowers

The hydrolysis of 2-phenylethyl β-d-glucopyranoside (3) was found to be partially inhibited by feeding with 2-phenyl-N-glucosyl-acetamidiumbromide (8), a β-glucosidase inhibitor, resulting in a decrease in the diurnal emission of 2-phenylethanol (2) from Rosa damascena Mill. flowers. Detection of [1,1,2,2′,3′,4′,5′,6′-²H₈]-2 and [1,2,2′,3′,4′,5′,6′-²H₇]-2 from R. ‘Hoh-Jun’ flowers fed with [1,1,2,2′,3′,4′,5′,6′-²H₈]-3 suggested that β-glucosidase, alcohol dehydrogenase, and reductase might be involved in scent emission. Comprehensive GC-SIM analyses revealed that [1,2,2,2′,3′,4′,5′,6′-²H₈]-2 and [1,2,2,2′,3′,4′,5′,6′-²H₈]-3 must be biosynthesized from [1,2,2,2′,3′,4′,5′6′-²H₈] l-phenylalanine ([²H₈]-1) with a retention of the deuterium atom at α-position of [²H₈]-1.     

One-pot synthesis of quinazolin-4(3H)-ones and fused quinazolinones by a palladium-catalyzed domino process

An efficient one-pot synthesis of quinazolin-4(3H)-ones, benzoimidazo[2,1-b]quinazolin-12(6H)-ones and imidazo[2,1-b]quinazolin-5(1H)-ones via a palladium-catalyzed domino process has been developed. The Pd-catalyzed reactions of 2-azidobenzamides 1 with isocyanides 2 produced quinazolin-4(3H)-ones 4 at room temperature by a domino Pd-catalyzed cross-coupling/carbodiimide-mediated cyclization. However, as 2-azido-N-(2-bromophenyl)benzamides 1 were used under heating condition in the presence of Cs₂CO₃, the benzoimidazo[2,1-b]quinazolin-12(6H)-ones 5 were directly obtained by twice Pd-catalyzed domino cyclization. A domino reogioselective 5-exo-dig intramolecular cyclization reaction of alkynyl-containing azides 6 with isocyanides 2 generated imidazo[2,1-b]quinazolin-5(1H)-ones 9 in 74–93% yields in the presence of catalyst Pd(PPh₃)₄ and K₂CO₃.
