Studies on mechanisms of the rearrangement of thieno[3,2-e][1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-c]pyrimidines into thieno[3,2-e][1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-c]pyrimidines

Recyclization of thieno[3,2-e][1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-c]pyrimidines was studied experimentally and theoretically by B3LYP/6-31G** calculations in the gas phase and in solution (EtOH). The experimentally observed characteristic features of the isomerization (the possibility of the Dimroth rearrangement occurring by the ANRORC mechanism and high energy barriers in acid-catalyzed reactions) were confirmed by quantum chemical calculations. Substituents in the triazole ring were found to play the principal role in the rearrangement. Published in Russian in Izvestiya Akademii Nauk.

A series of 2,5-disubstituted pyrimido[5,4-c]quinoline derivatives were synthesized and their cytotoxic activity against H460, HT-29 and MDA-MB-231 cell lines was evaluated in vitro.It was found that most of the tested compounds especially compound 17, shown stronger activity to the selected three cell lines than ZM447439.     

Preparation of new pyrido[3,4-b]thienopyrroles and pyrido[4,3-e]thienopyridazines

Two new types of pyrido-fused tris-heterocycles (1a,b and 2a,b) have been prepared from 3-aminopyridine in five/six steps. A synthetic strategy for the preparation of the novel pyrido[3,4-b]thieno[2,3- and 3,2-d]pyrroles (1a,b) and pyrido[4,3-e]thieno[2,3- and 3,2-c]pyridazines (2a,b) has been studied. The Suzuki cross coupling of the appropriate 2- and 3-thienoboronic acids (3,4) and 4-bromo-3-pyridylpivaloylamide (9) afforded the biaryl coupling products (10,11) in high yields (85%). Diazotization of the hydrolysed (2-thienyl)-coupling product (12) and azide substitution gave the 3-azido-4-(2-thienyl)pyridine intermediate (72%, 14). 3-Azido-4-(3-thienyl)pyridine (15) was prepared by exchanging the previous order of reactions. The desired β-carboline thiophene analogues (1a,b) were obtained via the nitrene by thermal decomposition of the azido precursors (14,15). By optimising conditions for intramolecular diazocoupling, the corresponding pyridazine products (72-83%, 2a,b) were afforded.     

Synthesis of hexahydroazonino[5,6-b]indoles from hexahydroazepino[4,3-b]-and-[3,4-b]indoles and activated alkynes

A reaction of substituted hexahydroazepino[4,3-b]-and-[3,4-b]indoles with activated alkynes was studied. A one-step method for the synthesis of isomeric hexahydroazonino[5,6-b]indoles different by positions of the double bond in the azonine ring was developed.

Preparation of 2,4,5-trisubstituted pyrazolo[4,3-c]quinolin-3-ones

The preparation of pyrazolo[4,3-c]quinolinones is reported starting from 2-substituted-5-(2-fluorophenyl)-3-oxo-2,4-dihydro-3H-pyrazol-3-ones. A one-pot protocol, in which condensation with an orthoamide followed by substitution with a primary amine and subsequent S_NAr-cyclization to provide rapid access to 4- and 5-substituted pyrazolo[4,3-c]quinolinones was developed.     

Construction of pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridines and pyrazolo[4,3-c]pyridines by ring closure of 3-acylpyridine N-oxide tosylhydrazones

3-Acylpyridine N-oxide tosylhydrazones give good overall yields of a mixture of pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridines and pyrazolo[4,3-c]pyridines when treated with an electrophilic additive and an amine base. (Z)-Hydrazones cyclize readily, while (E)-hydrazones fail to react under the reported conditions. The reaction takes place at room temperature, and moderate regiocontrol over the cyclization can be achieved by varying the electrophile/solvent combination.

Based on the reaction of 8-R-4,5-dihydro-4,4-dimethyl[1,2]dithiolo[3,4-c]quinoline-1-thiones with oxalyl chloride followed by the reactions of 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition and diene synthesis with participation of acetylenedicarboxylic acid dimethyl ester, we have developed approaches to synthesis of novel polycondensed heterocyclic systems: [1,2]dithiolo[3,4-c]pyrrolo[3,2,1-ij]quinoline-4,5-dione, 6-(1,3-dithiol-2-ylidene)-1,2-dioxo-5-thioxo-7H-pyrrolo[3,2,1-ij]quinoline and 4,5-dioxospiro(pyrrolo)-[3,2,1-ij]thiopyrano[2,3-c]quinoline-11,2′-[1,3]dithiole. __________ Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 4, pp. 610–615, April, 2006.     

Synthesis of pyrazolo[4,3-<Emphasis Type="Italic">e</Emphasis>][1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-<Emphasis Type="Italic">c</Emphasis>]pyrimidines

Starting from 1,5-dihydro-4H-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-4-ones, a synthesis pathway to the tricyclic pyrazolo[4,3-e][1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-c]pyrimidines is described. Reaction of 1,5-dihydro-4H-pyrazolo[3,4-d] pyrimidin-4-ones with phosphoryl chloride afforded the corresponding 4-chloro-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidines. Treatment of these compounds with hydrazine hydrate at reflux temperature gave the hydrazino derivatives, which were subsequently cyclized to the titled compounds on heating with orthoesters in ethanol.

Reactions of 1,3-Substituted Benzothieno[2,3-c]pyrylium Salts with Primary Amines

We have studied the reactions of benzothieno[2,3-c]pyrylium salts with primary amines. We have shown that recyclization occurs in two directions, and whether benzothieno[2,3-c]pyridinium salts or 1-aminodibenzothiophenes are formed is determined by the nature of the primary amine.
