Synthesis of new substituted pyrazolo[1,5-a]-pyrimidines and pyrazolo[1,5-a]1,3,5-triazines

5-Substituted 3-amino-1H-pyrazole-4-carbonitriles 2a-d react with appropriate biselectrophilic reagents in the presence of (TEA) to give the substitution products pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidines 4a-d, 6a-d and pyrazolo[1,5-a ]1,3,5-triazines 8a-d. Compounds 6a and 8a react with secondary amines to 10a-c and 11a-c. Treatment of 2a with malonodinitrile results in the substituted pyrazolo-[1,5-a]pyrimidine 16. Condensation of 2a, 2c and 2d with ethyli-dene-malodintriles leads to racemic dihydro-pyrazolo[1,5-a] pyr-imidines 18a-e. Reaction of diene 20 with the heterodienophile 21 leads to formation of Diels-Alder adduct 22.     

Nucleosides CV. Synthesis of the 8-((β-D-ribofuranosyl)pyrazolo[1,5-a]-1,3,5-triazine isosteres of adenosine and inosine

Reaction of ethyl N-cyanoformimidate ( 3 ) and of ethyl N-carbelhoxyformimidate ( 5 ) with 3-aminopyrazole ( 2 ) gave 4-amino- and 4-oxo-3H-pyrazolo[1,5-a]-1,3,5-triazine ( 4 and 7 ), respectively. Reaction of 3-amino-4-(2,3-O-isopropylidene-5-O-trityl-β-D-ribofuranosyl)pyrazole ( 8 ) with the same reagents similarly gave the blocked 4-amino-8-ribosyl- and 4-oxo-3H-8-ribosyl-pyrazolo[ 1,5-a]-1,3,5-triazine ( 9 and 15 ), respectively. Deblocking in acid finally afforded the unblocked products 10 (an isostere of adenosine and formycin) and 16 (an isostere of inosine and formycin B). The corresponding derivatives in the a series were made by identical procedures for confirming all structural assignments. Preliminary in vitro testing results of 10 are included.

Mass spectra of substituted pyrazolo[1,5-a]-1,3,5-triazines

High resolution electron impact mass spectrometric measurements have been made on twelve pyrazolo[1,5-a]-1,3,5-triazines. Substituents attached to carbon atoms 2, 4, 7, and 8 were used to label the various fragments. Three major ions were observed (a) the molecular ion, (b) an ion corresponding to M-RCN where R is the substituent attached to C-4 and (c) an aryl cyclopropenyl cation which was observed in 7-aryl derivatives. Intensities and accurate mass-measurements are given for all ions having intensities exceeding 2% of the base peak. Nine of the twelve pyrazolo-[1,5-a]-1,3,5-triazines included in this study are described here for the first time.     

The synthesis of 7,8-dihydroimidazo[1,2-e]pyrazolo[1,5-a]-1,3,5-triazines, 8,9-dihydro-7H-pyrimido[1,2-e]pyrazolo[1,5-a]-1,3,5-triazines and 7,8,9,10-tetrahydro[1,3]diazepino[1,2-e]pyrazolo[1,5-a]triazines

Cyclic hydrazino amidines were converted to the corresponding aminopyrazolyl derivatives. Ring closure between the amino groups of pyrazoline moieties and NH groups of cyclic amidines afforded the following ring systems: 7,8-Dihydroimidazo[1,2-e]pyrazolo[1,5-a]-1,3,5-triazines, 8,9-dihydro-7H-pyrimido[1,2-e]pyrazolo[1,5-a]-1,3,5-triazines and 7,8,9,10-tetrahydro[1,3]diazepino[1,2-e]pyrazolo[1,5-a]-1,3,5-triazines.     

New synthesis of 2,4-dialkyl(or diaryl)pyrazolo[1,5-a]-1,3,5-triazines

Reactions of monothiodiacylamines or N-aroylthioimidates with 3-aminopyrazoles gave pyrazolo[1,5-a]-1,3,5-triazines in good yields.     

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.     

A facile synthesis of 8-(β-D-ribofuranosyl)-4-thioxo-3H-pyrazolo[1,5-a]-1,3,5-triazine and its α-anomer

A versatile intermediate 2 for C-nucleoside synthesis was treated with thiosemicarbazide to obtain thiosemicarbazone 6 , which was then converted to 3-aminopyrazol-2N-thiocarboxamide derivatives 7 and 8 by the reaction of 6 and sodium ethoxide. 4-Thioxo-4H-pyrazolo[1,5-a]-1,3,5-triazine C-nucleosides 11 and 12 were obtained by the ring closure reaction of 7 and 8 with triethyl orthoformate. Brief treatment of 11 and 12 with 10% methanolic hydrogen chloride afforded C-nucleosides 4 and 13 , respectively, without anomerization. Identification of compounds 4 and 13 was made on the basis of ¹H nmr and uv spectra, as well as chemical conversion to known compounds with established configurations. Model compounds were also synthesized in order to confirm the heterocyclic moieties.     

1,2,4-Triazines VIII. The synthesis of 1,2,4-triazino[2,3-e]pyrazolo[1,5-a]-1,3,5-triazines and 1,2,4-triazino[4,3-e]pyrazolo[],5-a] -1,3,5-triaziness

Substituted 2,5-dihydro-3[3-methyI(or phenyl)-5-aminopyrazolyl]-1,2,4-triazin-5-ones reacted with orthoesters to yield exclusively 1,2,4-triazino[2,3-e]pyrazolo[1,5-a]-1,3,5-triazin-5-ones. The structure elucidation was supported by independent synthesis of the isomeric 1,2,3-triazino-[4,3-e]pyrazolo[1,5-α]-1,3,5-triazin-7-one as well as by spectroscopical methods.     

The synthesis and chemical reactions of certain pyrazolo[1,5-a]-1,3,5-triazines

3-Aminopyrazole was utilized as a starting material for the preparation of certain pyrazolo-[1,5-a]-1,3,5-triazines. 4-Chloro-2-methylthiopyrazolo[1,5-a]-1,3,5-triazine was prepared and used for studies of nucleophilic displacement reactions, and it has been found that both the chloro and methylthio groups may be displaced by nucleophiles. By modifications of these procedures we have prepared the adenine, hypoxanthine, and xanthine analogs of the pyrazolo-[1,5-a]-1,3,5-triazine ring system. Electrophilic substitution occurs in the 8-position of this ring system. The methyl group was introduced into the 4-position by a novel ring opening and ring closing of the 1,3,5-triazine ring.     

Synthesis of unsymmetrical 2,4-dialkylpyrazolo[1,5-a]-1,3,5-triazines

The reaction of 3-aminopyrazole with imidate esters such as ethyl acetimidate, gave N-(pyrazol-3-yl)acetamidine (1) rather than the isomeric 2-acetamidoyl-3-aminopyrazole. Ring closure of 1 with orthoesters such as ethyl propionimidate, afforded unsymmetrically substituted 2.4-dialkylpyrazolo[1,5-a]-1,3,5-triazines such as 4-ethyl-2-methylpyrazolo[1,5-a]-1,3,5-triazine (3). The structure of 1 was confirmed by several alternate syntheses. The unique feature of this two-step synthetic approach to the synthesis of pyrazolo[1,5-a]-1,3,5-triazines is that it is a convenient method of preparing fused triazines based on available pyrazoles rather than the less accessible dialkyltriazines.     

Synthesis and antitumor activity of some new pyrazolo[1,5-a] pyrimidines

New series of pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine derivatives 7a-i, 11a-c and Schiff bases 13a-c were synthesized and screened for their in vitro antitumor activity against three human carcinoma cell lines, namely colorectal carcinoma (HCT116), prostate adenocarcinoma (PC-3) and liver carcinoma (HepG-2) using MTT cytotoxicity assay at 100 μg/mL. Some of the tested compounds displayed good anticancer activities against HCT-116 and PC-3 cells. Whereas, compounds 7d and 11a showed better antitumor activity than the rest of the compounds against both cell lines. A structure-activity relationship (SAR) has been discussed and structures of the newly synthesized compounds were confirmed by different spectral data (MS, IR, ¹H NMR and ¹³C NMR) and elemental analysis.

The crystal and molecular structure of 7-phenyl-1,2,4-triazolo[1,5-a]-1,3,5-triazine were determined. It was shown that the amine nitrogen atom (N¹) of the triazole ring acts as a nucleophilic center in the cyclization of N-(1,2,4-triazol-5-yl)amidines with electrophilic reagents.N. D.

Reactivity of 7-(2-dimethylaminovinyl)pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidines: Synthesis of pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrido[3,4-e]pyrimidine derivatives as potential benzodiazepine receptor ligands. 2

A series of pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrido[3,4-e]pyrimidin-6-ones was obtained by reaction of ammonium acetate with ethyl 7-dimethylaminovinylpyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine-6-carboxylates and these had been prepared from ethyl 7-methylpyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine-6-carboxylates by reaction with dimethylformamide dimethylacetal. Under these conditions the compounds bearing a 2-hydroxy group were also O-alkylated. During the preparation of the ethyl 2-hydroxy-7-methyl-3-phenylpyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine-6-carboxylate the corresponding 5-methyl isomer was isolated and identified.     

Reactivity of 7-(2-dimethylaminovinyl)pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidines: Synthesis of pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrido[3,4-e]pyrimidine derivatives as potential benzodiazepine receptor ligands. 1

A series of 7-methylpyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidines were reacted with dimethylformamide dimethylacetal to give the corresponding dimethylaminovinyl derivatives. These were reacted with ammonium acetate affording, through a ring closure, a number of 6-methylpyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrido[3,4-e]pyrimidines bearing various substituents on the pyrazole ring. The 6-acetyl-2-hydroxy-7-methylpyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine was used as starting material for obtaining some O-alkyl derivatives. Catalytic transfer hydrogenation of 2-benzyloxy-6-methylpyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrido[3,4-e]pyrimidine led to the 2-hydroxy derivative.
