Reactions of 5-aryl- and 5,7-diaryl-1,3-dimethyl-2,4-dioxopyrano[4,3-d]pyrimidinium salts with hydrazine were studied.

Crystal and molecular structure of new tetrahydrobenzo[<Emphasis Type="Italic">e</Emphasis>]pyrano[4,3-<Emphasis Type="Italic">b</Emphasis>]pyridines

Three tetrahydrobenzo[e]pyrano[4,3-b]pyridines formed in a diethyl 2,4,6-trioxoheptanedicarboxylic ether-substituted salicylic aldehyde-ammonium acetate system were studied by single crystal X-ray diffraction. After the introduction of a methoxy group in the tricyclic system, the tetrahydropyridine and pyrane rings adopted the half-chair conformation, while in the unsubstituted compound, the tetrahydropyridine ring has a distorted boat conformation, and the pyrane ring has a C-envelope conformation. In the compounds, the N-H?O and O-H?O intermolecular hydrogen bonds give rise to the development of chain structures. In two of the three compounds examined, the hydrogen atoms at the chiral centers are in the trans-position, as in the structure of natural tetrahydrocannabinols.

(E)-3-{5-[3-(Trifluoromethyl)phenyl]furan-2-yl}propenoic acid (I) was prepared from 5-[3-(tri-fluoromethyl)phenyl]furan-2-carbaldehyde under the Doebner’s conditions. The obtained acid was converted to the corresponding azide II, which was cyclized by heating in diphenyl ether to 2-[3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-4,5-dihydrofuro[3,2-c]pyridin-4-one (III). This compound was aromatized with phosphorus oxychloride to chloroderivative IV which was reduced with H₂NNH₂-Pd/C to the title compound V. 2-[3-(Trifluoromethyl)phenyl]furo[3,2-c]pyridin-5-oxide (VI) was synthesized by reaction of V with 3-chloroperoxybenzoic acid in dichloromethane. On treatment of VI with benzoyl chloride and potassium cyanide (Reissert-Henze reaction), corresponding 2-[3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]furo[3,2-c]pyridine-1-carbonitrile (VII) resulted. 5-Amino-2-[3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]furo[3,2-c]pyridin-5-ium-4-methylbenzene sulfonate (VIII) was prepared by direct N-amination of the title compound V with 1-[(aminooxy)sulfonyl]-4-methylbenzene in dichloromethane. Then, VIII was transformed to a non-isolated zwitterionic N-imid IX which afforded the corresponding furo[3,2-c]pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyridine carboxylic acid esters X, XI by 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reactions with dimethyl but-2-ynedionate (DBD) or ethyl propiolate.
