Alternative Routes to the Pyrazolo[4,3-<Emphasis Type="Italic">e</Emphasis>][1,2,4]triazolo-[1,5-<Emphasis Type="Italic">c</Emphasis>]pyrimidine System

Formimidic acid esters derived from 1-substituted 5-aminopyrazole-4-carbonitriles reacted with carboxylic acid hydrazides on heating to give 2,7-disubstituted pyrazolo[4,3-e][1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-c]pyrimidine derivatives as a result of double heterocyclization. The same compounds were obtained by thermal recyclization of 1-aroyl-2-(1-R-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-4-yl)hydrazines.__________Translated from Zhurnal Organicheskoi Khimii, Vol. 41, No. 6, 2005, pp. 934–938.Original Russian Text Copyright © 2005 by Tyurin, Vorob’ev, Minyaeva, Krasnikov, Mezheritskii.     

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.

1-Alkoxy-7-hydroxy-1,3-dihydrofuro[3,4-<Emphasis Type=Italic>c</Emphasis>]pyridinium Salts

New salt structures have been synthesized from pyridoxal and various organic and inorganic acids.     

2-Alkyl-4-oxohexahydropyrimido[4,5-<Emphasis Type=Italic>d</Emphasis>]- and -[5,4-<Emphasis Type=Italic>d</Emphasis>]azocines

It has been established that 2-R-4-oxotetrahydropyrido[4,3-d]pyrimidines, under the action of activated alkynes in methanol, form a mixture of 2-R-4-oxohexahydropyrimido[4,5-d]azocines and products of decomposition of the tetrahydropyridine ring, the 2-R-5-methoxymethyl-4-oxo-6-vinylaminoethyl-pyrimidines. Tetrahydropyrido[3,4-d]pyrimidine, isomeric at the junction of the pyrimidine and tetrahydropyridine rings, forms only the corresponding pyrimido[5,4-d]azocine, the product of expansion, under the action of methyl propiolate.     

Synthesis of naphtho[1,2-<Emphasis Type="Italic">e</Emphasis>]-pyrazolo[5,1-<Emphasis Type="Italic">b</Emphasis>][1,3]oxazines

The previously unknown heterocyclic system naphtho[1,2-e]pyrazolo[5,1-b][1,3]oxazine was synthesized by the condensation of 1-dimethylaminomethyl-2-naphthols with bromopyrazoles. It is proposed that the highly reactive o-methylenequinone of the naphthalene series is formed as an intermediate.
