Mass spectra of isomeric thieno [2,3-b]- and thieno[3,2-b]pyridines

The mass spectra of six isomeric thieno- and thionaphthenopyridines were studied for the first time, and the pathways of fragmentation of the molecular ions, which made it possible to isolate the peaks of the fragment ions that characterize the destruction of the pyridine and thiophene rings, were traced. It is shown that the character and type of conjugation of the heterorings can be distinguished by analyzing the mass-spectral data. The relationship between the intensity of the peak of the doubly charged molecular ion and the number of electrons in the system and the -donor character of the heteroring was illustrated by means of the literature data on the mass spectrometry of heteroaromatic systems with one heteroatom.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 6, pp. 758–761, June, 1982.     

Recent advances in the chemistry of thieno[2,3-b]pyridines 1. Methods of synthesis of thieno[2,3-b]pyridines

Russian Chemical Bulletin - The recent data (2007–2018) on the synthesis of thieno[2,3-b]pyridines are summarized and systematized.     

Thieno [2,3 -b] pyridines and thieno [ 3,2 -b] pyridines by the method of gould-jacobs

Bis(2-, and 3-thienylammonium) hexachlorostannates were condensed with ethoxymethylene derivatives of active methylene compounds in pyridine. The resulting condensation products IVa-IVc and Va-Vc on heating under reflux in Dowtherm or diphenyl ether provided various 4-hydroxythieno[2,3-b] pyridines (Ia-Ic) and 7-hydroxythieno[3,2-b]pyridines (IIa-IIc). The compound Ic on further transformations gave yet other derivatives If-Ik.     

Facile preparation of benzo[4,5]thieno[2,3-b]pyridines and naphtho[b-4,5]thieno[2,3-b]pyridines via the reaction of Barton esters and benzynes

Titled compounds were prepared in a one-pot synthesis by generating symmetrically substituted benzyne intermediates by the diazotization of anthranilic acids in the presence of Barton esters. Unsymmetrically substituted aryne either gave mixtures of regioisomers or failed. However, nitro and methyl derivatives of titled compounds could be obtained as single products using appropriately substituted Barton esters.     

Synthesis of substituted thieno[2,3-b]pyrroles

A relatively simple route for synthesis of substituted thieno[2,3-b]pyrroles from readily available starting material and data for structural assignment are reported.     

Synthesis and structural characterization of substituted thieno[2,3-b]pyridines from o-chloroformyl-1,4-dihydropyridines

Novel 4,7-dihydrothieno[2,3-b]pyridines 10a-d have been prepared in a one step procedure from the readily available o-chloroformyl substituted 1,4-dihydropyridines 9a-d and ethyl mercaptoacetate in good yields. Semiempirical calculations reveal a favoured geometry with a boat conformation in the dihydropyridine system and a planar thieno ring. The calculated charge density values for the olefmic carbons (C5 and C6) are in agreement with the experimental push-pull effect observed in the ¹³C nmr.     

A simple synthesis of thieno[2,3-b]pyrazine and thieno[2,3-b] pyridine

New method for the synthesis of substituted thieno[3,2-b]pyridines and 5H-pyrano[2,3-d]thieno[3,2-b]pyridines derived from them

A new highly selective method was developed for the synthesis of substituted thieno[3,2-b]-pyridines based on the domino reaction of monopotassium salt (rather than dipotassium one) of carbamoylcyanodithioacetic acid with ethyl 4-chloroacetoacetate. Substituted 5H-pyrano[2,3-d]-thieno[3,2-b]pyridines were synthesized based on these thieno[3,2-b]pyridines.     

Synthesis of condensed tricyclic pyrazolo[3,4-b]thieno[2,3-d]pyridine and related isostere derivatives

In this paper we report the synthesis of an isosteric series of new heterotricyclic derivatives, corresponding to pyrazolo[3,4-b]thieno[2,3-d]pyridine ( 1 ), pyrazolo[3,4-b]furano[2,3-d]pyridine ( 2 ) and pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyridine ( 3 ). These functionalized compounds were obtained, in high overall yield, by an ‘one-pot’ reaction of the chloroester intermediate 4 , possessing the pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridine system, with an adequate α-hetero-acetyl ester derivative, in SNAr/Dieckman cyclization type consecutive reactions.     

Fluorine-containing heterocycles: Part III. Synthesis of some new furo[2,3-b]-, pyrazolo[3,4-b]- and thieno[2,3-b]pyridines with anticipated biological activities

3-Cyano-6-(2-thienyl)-4-trifluoromethylpyridine-2(1H)-one (1) and its thiono analog 2 were prepared by the reaction of (2-thenoyl)-ω,ω,ω-trifluoroacetone with cyanoacetamide or cyanothioacetamide, respectively. Interaction of compound 1 with ethyl chloroacetate or chloroacetamide led to the regioselective formation of O-alkylated pyridines 3 and 10. The latter compounds underwent some successive reactions to furnish the promising furopyridines (4 and 7–9) and pyrazolopyridines (12–15). The reaction of 2 with chloroacetamides or chloroacetonitrile furnished 2-functionalized 3-amino-6-(2-thienyl)-4-trifluoromethyl-thieno[2,3-b]pyridines (16a, b) which were used as key intermediates in the synthesis of the title thienopyridines. Structures of the newly synthesized compounds were established on the basis of their elemental and spectral (IR, ¹H NMR and mass) analyses.     

Synthesis and properties of chromono[2,3-b]pyridines

Chromono[2,3-b]pyridines were synthesized by cyclization of 2-phenoxynicotinic acids. Their UV spectra are due to - ^* transitions and, in contrast to the spectrum of xanthone, are of high intensity. In concentrated sulfuric acid the chromono[2,3-b]pyridines form a doubly charged pyridinium-pyrylium ion, and the reaction is accompanied by an increase in the intensity of the long-wave bands (330–340 nm) in the UV spectrum. The spectrophotometrically determined pK_a values of 8-R-chromono[2,3-b]pyridines range from –8.62 to –9.81, depending on the substituent in the 8 position, and correlate with Hammett _p constants.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii No. 9, pp. 1235–1238, September, 1976.

A facile and convenient synthesis of the title compounds is described, using as starting materials the 2-nitro-3-aminothieno[2,3-b]pyridines. Mass spectral data of the above mentioned compounds are briefly discussed.     

Synthesis and Properties of Substituted Isoxazolo[3',4':4,5]thieno[2,3-b]pyridines

We synthesized derivatives of a novel heterocyclic system, isoxazolo[3',4':4,5]thieno[2,3-b]pyridine by sequential conversions in three steps: isomerization of 2-(2-R-ethylthio-2-oxo)-3-pyridyl cyanides obtained by alkylation from substituted 3-cyano-2(1H)-pyridinethiones by -halomethyl ketones in alkaline medium, to form 3-aminothieno[2,3-b]pyridines; diazotization of the amino group followed by nucleophilic substitution of the diazonium group by an azido group, bypassing the step of isolating the diazonium salts; and thermolysis of the azides formed.     

Synthesis of certain 5-substituted thieno[2,3-b]thiophene-2-sulfonamides and thieno[2,3-b]thiophene-2-sulfonamide 6,6-dioxides

A series of the title compounds were prepared for evaluation as inhibitors of carbonic anhydrase II. Oxidation of 5-substituted thieno[2,3-b]thiophene-2-sulfonamides provided the first examples of thiophene[2,3-b]thiophene-2-sulfonarnide 6,6-dioxides. These cyclic vinyl sulfones readily underwent addi tion to give predominately that 4,5-cis addition product.     

Synthesis and transformations of 3-(1H-pyrrol-1-yl)thieno[2,3-b]pyridines

Reactions of 2,5-dimethoxytetrahydrofuran with 3-aminothieno[2,3-b]pyridines afford a number of substituted 3-(1H-pyrrol-1-yl)thieno[2,3-b]pyridines. The possibility of the reaction and the yield of the product are determined by the character of a substituent in position 2 of thieno[2,3-b]pyridine. The Curtius rearrangement of 2-acylazido-3(1H-pyrrol-1-yl)thieno[2,3-b]pyridines yields 4,5-dihydropyrido[3",2":4,5]thieno[2,3-e]pyrrolo[1,2-a]pyrazin-4-ones. The molecular and crystal structures of ethyl 4-methoxymethyl-6-methyl-3-(1H-pyrrol-1-yl)thieno[2,3-b]pyridine-2-carboxylate were determined by X-ray diffraction analysis.
