Synthesis of pyrrolo[3,4-c]pyridazines

We have prepared the pyrrolopyridazines 7a-f starting from the diazo compounds 4 . The synthesis involves a tandem condensation-aza-Wittig reaction or a combination of Wittig and aza-Wittig reactions as key steps. Reaction of pyridazine 7d with diazomethane results in C-methylation to yield 7g . Sodium borohydride reduces 7d to either the dihydropyridazine 12 or the hydroxylactam 13b depending of the reaction conditions.     

Synthesis of aryl- and heteroaryl[a]pyrrolo[3,4-c]carbazoles

Synthesis of aryl- and hetero[a]pyrrolo[3,4-c]carbazoles by photochemical oxidation and Heck cyclization are described. Photochemical oxidation of 2-naphthyl indolyl maleimide affords two different carbazole regioisomers, depending on the reaction conditions. The regiochemistry of the cyclization can be controlled using the Heck reaction.

The reaction of 3,4-dibenzoyl-1-methyl-2,5-diphenylpyrrole ( 1 ) and -1-phenylpyrazole ( 2 ) with methylamines ( 3a-c ) afforded pyrrolo[3,4-c]pyridine ( 4 ), and isomeric 2H-pyrazolo[3,4-c]pyridines ( 5a-c ) and [4,3-c]pyridines ( 6a-c ), respectively.

Synthesis of new pyrrolo-[3,4-c]isoxazole, pyrrolo[2,3-d]-[1,2,3]triazole, triazolo[4,5-c]-pyridazine, and dipyrrolo-[3,2-b:3′,4′-d]pyran derivatives

New pyrrolo[3,4-c]isoxazole derivatives were synthesized from the key intermediates 4-cyanopyrrolidin-3-ones in two steps. Pyrrolo[2,3-d][1,2,3]triazoles and triazolo[4,5-c]pyridazine were obtained from 2-arylhydrazono-4-cyano-1-(4′-methoxyphenyl)-3-oxopyrrolidines by refluxing with phenylhydrazine in either ethanol or glacial acetic acid. Aldol self-condensation of 1-aryl-4-cyanopyrrolidin-3-ones afforded dipyrrolo-[3,2-b:3′, 4′-d]pyran derivatives. __________ Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 12, pp. 1841–1848, December, 2007.     

Ring closure reactions with nitriles. I. Formation of pyrrolo [2,1-c] [1,2,4] benzothiadiazines and pyrrolo[1,2-a] quinazolines

Pyrrolo[2,1-c][1,2,4]benzothiadiazines have been prepared from the reactions of o-amino-benzenesulfonamides with γ-cyanopropionaldehydes. Pyrrolo[1,2-a]quinazolines have been prepared from the reaction of anthranilamides with either γ-cyanopropionaldehyde or succinic anhydride. The cyclization of a 4-oxo-2-quinazolinepropionic acid has produced a pyrrolo-[1,2-a]quinazoline and the isomeric pyrrolo[2,1-b]quinazoline.     

Convenient synthesis of spiro[indoline-3,4'-pyrano[2,3-c]pyrazole] and spiro[acenaphthyl-3,4'-pyrano[2,3-c]pyrazoles] via fourcomponent reaction

The base promoted four-component reaction of hydrated hydrazine, dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate, isatines and malononitrile (ethyl cycanoacetate) in ethanol afforded polysubstituted spiro[indoline-3,4‘-pyrano[2,3-c]pyrazoles] and spiro[acenaphthyl-3,4-pyrano[2,3-c]pyrazoles]     

Formation of pyrrolo[2,3-f]quinolines from substituted 5-methyl-6-aminomoles by the combes reaction

It is shown that the reaction of 2, 3, 5-trimethyl-6-amino-indole with 1, 3-diketones is a convenient method for the preparation of angular IH-pyrrolo[2,3-f]quinolines, while the presence of a methyl group on the pyrrolic nitrogen atom of the initial indole as a result of steric hindrance completely blocks cyclization to the corresponding pyrroloquinolines.Mordovskii State Educational Institute, Saransk 430007.

Synthesis of thieno [3,4-c ]- and selenopheno[3,4-c] pyrylium salts

Acylation of 3-acetonyl- and 3-phenacyl-2,5-dimethylthiophenes with aliphatic acid anhydrides in the presence of perchloric acid gives thieno[3,4-c]pyrylium perchlorates. Reaction of the latter with ammonia gives the corresponding thieno[3,4-c]pyridines or diketones of the thiophene series. Selenopheno[3,4-c]pyrylium salts could not be isolated in the acylation of 3-acetonyl- and 3-phenacyl-2,5-dimethylselenophenes.

Convenient construction of spiro[indoline-3,5'-pyrrolo[3,4-c]carbazole] and spiro[indene-2,5'-pyrrolo[3,4-c]carbazole] via acid-catalyzed Diels-Alder reaction

p-TsOH catalyzed Diels-Alder reaction of 3-(indol-3-yl)maleimides with 3-phenacylideneoxindoles in toluene at 80 °C for two hours afforded cis/trans isomers of 3a',4′,6′,10c'-tetrahydrospiro[indoline-3,5′-pyrrolo[3,4-c]carbazoles] in nearly comparable yields, which could be easily converted to the corresponding 4′,6′-dihydrospiro[indoline-3,5′-pyrrolo[3,4-c]carbazole] in high yields and with high diastereoselectivity by further DDQ oxidation. Additionally, the similar reaction of 3-(indol-3-yl)maleimides with 2-arylidene-1,3-indanediones in toluene 80 °C and sequential DDQ oxidation afforded functionalized dihydrospiro[indene-2,5′-pyrrolo[3,4-c]carbazoles] as major products.

Mass-spectral investigation of pyrrolo[3,2-c]piperidines

The dissociative ionization of derivatives of pyrrolo[3,2-c]piperidines and their deutero analogs was studied. The successive elimination of the substituents in the piperidine ring, which leads to its aromatization, and cleavage of this ring via a retrodiene fragmentation mechanism are the principal pathways of fragmentation of these substances. The principles found make it possible to determine the position and character of the substituents in the piperidine ring of derivatives of pyrrolo[3,2-c]piperidines.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 2, pp. 212–215, February, 1988.
