Reaction of 4-thioxo-1,3-benzothiazines with thiocarbohydrazine: Synthesis and reactivity of 1,3,4-triazolo[3,2-c]quinazoline derivatives

2-Aryl-4-thioxo-1,3-benzothiazines react with thiocarbohydrazide to give the new mesoionic compounds an-hydro 1-amino-5-aryl-2-mercapto-1,3,4-triazolo[3,2-c]quinazolin-4-ium hydroxides.

2-Amino-4-aryl-6-(ω-carboxyalkyl)-5H-pyrrolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-7-(6H)ones. Preparation via a one-pot synthesis of 1-(ω-carboxyalkyl)-4-carbethoxy-2,3-dioxopyrrolidines

1-(ω-Carboxyalkyl)-4-carboethoxy-2,3-dioxopyrrolidines were prepared by a one-pot synthesis from β-alanine or γ-aminobutyric acid, ethyl acrylate and diethyl oxalate. In a second one-pot process these products were hydrolyzed, decarboxylated and condensed with aromatic aldehydes under the influence of hydrochloric acid to yield 1-(ω-carboxyalkyl)-4-arylidene-2,3-dioxo-pyrolidines, which yielded 2-amino-4-aryl-6-(ω-carboxyalkyl)-5H-pyrrolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-7-(6H)-ones upon treatment with guanidine. It was shown that 3,4-dihydro derivatives of certain 2-amino-4-aryl-5H-pyrrolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-7-(6H)ones, formed initially in the guanidine reaction, readily undergo conversion to 5H-pyrrolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-7-(6H)ones.     

2-[3-(Trifluoromethyl)phenyl]furo[3,2-b]pyrroles: synthesis and reactions

The synthesis and reactions of methyl 2-[3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-4H-furo[3,2-b]pyrrole-5-carboxylate (1a) are described. Upon reaction with methyl iodide, benzyl chloride, or acetic anhydride, this compound gave N-substituted products 1b-d. By hydrolysis of compounds 1a-c, the corresponding acids 2a-c were formed, or by reaction with hydrazine-hydrate, the corresponding carbohydrazides 3a-c were formed. By heating 2-[3-(trifluoromethyl)phenly]-4H-furo[3,2-b]pyrrole-5-carboxylic acid (2a) in acetic anhydride, 4-acetyl-2-[3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]furo[3,2-b]pyrrole (4) was formed. By hydrolysis of 4, 2-[3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-4H-furo[3,2-b]pyrrole (5a) was formed, and reactions with methyl iodide or benzyl chloride gave N-substituted products 5b-c. The reaction of 4 with dimethyl butynedioate gave substituted benzo[b]furan 6. Compound 3a reacted with triethyl orthoesters giving 7a-c, which afforded with phosphorus (V) sulphide the corresponding thiones 8a-c. The thiones 8a-c reacted with hydrazine hydrate to form hydrazine derivatives 9a-c. The reaction of triethyl orthoformiate with compounds 9a-c led to furo[2′,3′: 4,5]pyrrolo[1,2-d][1,2,4]triazolo[3,4-f][1,2,4]triazines 10a-c. Hydrazones 11a-c were formed from 3a-c and 5-[3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]furan-2-carboxaldehyde. The effect of microwave irradiation on some condensation reactions was compared with “classical” conditions. The results showed that microwave irradiation shortens the reaction time while affording comparable yields.
