The reaction of 2 with 5‐amino‐3‐phenyl‐1H‐pyrazole ( 4a ) or 3‐amino‐1,2,4‐(1H)‐triazole ( 4b ) furnished pyrazolo[1,5‐a]pyrimidine and 1,2,4‐triazolo[1,5‐a]pyrimidine derivatives 6a and 6b , while the reaction of enaminone 2 with 6‐aminopyrimidine derivatives 7a,b afforded pyrido[2,3‐d]pyrimidine derivatives 9a,b , respectively. The diazonium salts 11a or 11b coupled with compound 2 to yield the pyrazolo[5,1‐c]‐1,2,4‐triazine and 1,2,4‐triazolo[5,1‐c]‐1,2,4‐triazine derivatives 13a and 13b . Some of the newly synthesized compounds exhibited a moderate effect against some bacterial and fungal species.

On triazoles XLI [1]. Synthesis of meso‐ionic [1,2,4]triazolo[5,1‐c]thiadiazoles

Type 6 meso‐ionic [1,2,4]triazolo[5,1‐c]thiadiazoles were synthesised by oxidation of the corresponding N‐methyl‐N'‐(substitutedbenzal)‐5‐amino‐3‐substituted‐1,2,4‐triazol‐1‐yl)thiohydrazide ( 3 ) type bases or their [1,2,4]triazolo[5,1‐d][1,2,3,6]tetrazepin‐5‐thion ( 4 ) type ring tautomers. Besides spectroscopical evidence a preparative proof of their structure was also provided. X‐ray diffraction analysis of 3‐methylthio‐6‐morpholino‐1,2,4‐triazolo[5,1‐c]thiadiazole ( 8 ) showed quite unusual bond lengths for the N¹‐S and S‐C³ bonds of the thiadiazole ring proving the meso‐ionic character of these derivatives unequivocally.

Furthermore, the corresponding 1,2,4‐triazolo[3,4‐b][1,2,4]‐triazine thioglycosides and acyclic C‐nucleoside analogs were synthesized. The newly synthesized compounds were evaluated for their antitumor activity and some of them showed high inhibition activities. J. Heterocyclic Chem., 2011.     

Utilization of cleavage of the [1]benzofuro[2,3‐e][1,2,4]triazine ring for the synthesis of oxygen,nitrogen and sulfur derivatives of [1,2,4]triazine

A series of 6‐azacytosines 4a‐4k and 5a‐5c were prepared by nucleophilic cleavage of furan ring of [1]benzofuro[2,3‐e][1,2,4]triazine derivative 1 . Some of them were used for the preparation of derivatives of [1,2,4]triazolo[4,3‐d][1,2,4]triazine ( 6a‐6d ) and tetrazolo[1,5‐d][1,2,4]triazine (7). The reaction of 1 with hydrogen sulfide afforded the corresponding 6‐(2‐hydroxyphenyl)‐2‐phenyl‐5‐thioxo‐4,5‐dihydro‐1,2,4‐tri‐azin‐3(2H)‐one ( 8 ), while with hydrogen selenide 6‐(2‐hydroxyphenyl)‐2‐phenyl‐4,5‐dihydro‐1,2,4‐triazin‐3(2H)‐one ( 9 ) was formed. The prepared compounds were tested for biological activity.

The transformation of 1,2,3‐thiadiazolyl hydrazones of aldehydes and ketones including Dimroth rearrangement giving 1‐alkylidenamino‐5‐mercapto‐1,2,3‐triazoles, alkylation of mercapto group of these heterocyclic compounds by α‐bromoacetophenones and cyclization giving 6,7‐dihydro‐5H‐[1,2,3]triazolo[5,1‐b ][1,3,4]thiadizines have been investigated. It was shown that the reaction for hydrazones of acetophenones and benzoaldehydes is diastereoselective. Triazolothiadiazine spiro derivatives were prepared with transformation of hydrazones of cyclic ketones.     

A New Method of Dimroth Rearrangement in Fused Triazolo[1,5‐d]‐1,2,4‐triazine

Ethyl 7‐(2‐ethoxy‐2‐oxoethyl)‐3‐phenyl‐[1–3]triazolo[5,1‐c][1,2,4]triazine‐6‐carboxylate (the parent compound) was synthesized by reaction of 4‐phenyl–1H‐1,2,3‐triazole‐5‐diazonium chloride with diethyl‐2‐oxopropane‐1,3‐dicarboxylate at cooling for 2 h. During the reaction of the parent compound with p‐toluenesulphonyl azide in triethylamine, the Dimroth rearrangement occurred to give the tricyclic compound.     

A new method for the synthesis of novel 6-quinoxalinylpyrazolo[5,1-c][1,2,4]triazines

The reaction of the quinoxaline 1 with 4-ethoxycarbonyl-1H-pyrazole-5-diazonium chloride 7 at room temperature gave 3-[α-(4-ethoxycarbonyl-1H-pyrazol-5-ylhydrazono)methoxycarbonylmethyl]-2-oxo-1,2-dihydroquinoxaline 8. The pmr spectrum of 8 in deuteriodimethylsulfoxide supported the presence of two tautomers 8-I and 8-II. Refluxing of 8 in N,N-dimethylformamide or acetic acid resulted in cyclization to afford 8-ethoxycarbonyl-4-oxo-3-(3-oxo-3,4-dihydroquinoxalin-2-yl)-1,4-dihydropyrazolo[5,1-c][1,2,4]triazine 9. Compound 9 was also obtained directly by the reaction of 1 with 7 under reflux in better yield. The reaction of 9 with hydrazine hydrate provided the hydrazinium salt 10 , while the reactions of 9 with triethyl and trimethyl orthoformates in the presence of 1,8-diazabicyclo[5,4,0]-7-undecene produced 8-ethoxycarbonyl-4-ethoxyl-3-(3-oxo-3,4-dihydroquinoxalin-2-yl)pyrazolo[5,1-c][1,2,4]triazine 11a and 8-ethoxycarbonyl-4-methoxyl-3-(3-oxo-3,4-dihydroquinoxalin-2-yl)pyrazolo[5,1-c][1,2,4]triazine 11b , respectively. The chlorination of 11a with phosphoryl chloride gave 3-(3-chloroquinoxalin-2-yl)-8-ethoxycarbonyl-4-ethoxylpyrazolo[5,1-c]-[1,2,4]triazine 12 , whose reaction with morpholine afforded 8-ethoxycarbonyl-4-ethoxyl-3-[3-(morpholin-4-yl)-quinoxalin-2-yl]pyrazolo[5,1-c][1,2,4]triazine 13.     

A Convenient Approach to 4,7‐Dihydrotetrazolo [5,1‐c][1,2,4]triazine Synthesis

Azo coupling of 1,3‐dicarbonyl compounds with tetrazolyl‐5‐diazonium chloride is used to develop a convenient one‐step procedure for the synthesis of 4,7‐dihydrotetrazolo[5,1‐c][1,2,4]triazines. In contrast to nonfluorinated analogs, 7‐hydroxy‐7‐polyfluoroalkyl‐4,7‐dihydrotetrazolo[5,1‐c][1,2,4]triazines undergo a ring‐chain isomerism resulting from the cleavage at the C7―N7a bond. A distinctive feature of nonfluorinated 4,7‐dihydrotetrazolo[5,1‐c][1,2,4]triazines is the possibility to dehydration, which is accompanied by an azide rearrangement due to the tetrazole ring cleavage with the formation of tetrazolo[1,5‐b][1,2,4]triazines.     

New 1,2,3‐triazolo[4,5‐e]1,2,4‐triazolo[4,3‐c]pyrimidine derivatives II

The 7‐chloro‐3‐(2‐chlorobenzyl)‐ and 7‐chloro‐3‐(2‐fluorobenzyl)‐1,2,3‐triazolo[4,5‐d]pyrimidines ( 1 and 4 ), by nucleophilic replacement with some hydrazides, gave the corresponding 7‐hydrazidoderivatives ( 2a‐e and 5a‐e ). These, by heating in Dowtherm, underwent an intramolecular cyclization to form the new tricyclic 7‐substituted‐3‐(2‐chlorobenzyl)‐ and 3‐(2‐fluorobenzyl)‐1,2,3‐triazolo[4,5‐e]1,2,4‐triazolo[4,3‐c]pyrimidines ( 3a‐d and 6a‐d ). The 7‐hydrazino‐3‐(2‐chlorobenzyl)‐ and 7‐hydrazino‐3‐(2‐fluorobenzyl)‐triazolo‐pyrimidines ( 9a and 9b ) were also prepared via the corresponding mercapto ( 7a and 7b ) and thiomethyl ( 8a and 8b ) derivatives.

1‐Benzotriazolylacetophenone 1 couples with aromatic diazonium salts to yield the corresponding coupling products 2 . Reaction of 1 with diazotized aminopyrazole afforded the benzotriazolylpyrazolo[5,1‐c][1,2,4]triazine 6 . Compound 1 condensed with DMFDMA to yield the enaminone 7 which reacted with hydrazines to yield the pyrazoles 8a,b . Isomeric pyrazoles 10 were synthesized via condensing 1 with phenyl‐hydrazine and subsequent condensation of the formed phenylhydrazone 9 with DMFDMA. Reaction of 7 with hydroxylamine afforded the isoxazole 11 which was converted into the nitrile 13 on reflux in dioxane in the presence of sodium hydride. Compound 13 was also directly obtained from reaction of 1 with 1‐cyanobenzo‐triazole. The reaction of 1 with hippuric acid and arylidenemalononitriles 18a‐c afforded the pyranone 17 and pyridine derivatives 23a‐c , respectively.

Hydrolysis of the amide bond in 9 gave the 1-aminotriazoles 11 , which with ethyl orthoformate gave the [1,2,3]triazolo[5,1-f][1,2,4]triazines 12 , whereas with phosgene the triazolotriazinones 13 were obtained. The spectroscopic characteristics of all the new compounds are also given.

Synthesis of Certain 3-Aminopyrazolo[5,4-b]pyridine and 3,4-Substituted Pyrido[2′,3′：3,4]pyrazolo[5,1-c][1,2,4]triazine Derivatives

2-Thioxo-1,2-dihydropyridine derivatives 2a, 2b were reacted with methyl iodide to give 2-methylthiopyridines 3a, 3b, which were reacted with hydrazine hydrate to produce 3-aminopyrazolo[5,4-b]pyridines 4a, 4b. Compounds 4a, 4b were diazotized to afford the corresponding diazonium salts 5a, 5b, which were reacted with some active methylene compounds 6a-6h to give the corresponding pyrido[2′,3′ ： 3,4]pyrazole[5,1-c][1,2,4]triazines 7-14.     

New 1,2,3‐triazolo[4,5‐d]1,2,4‐triazolo[3,4‐b]pyridazine derivatives II

New tricyclic 1,2,3‐triazolo‐1,2,4‐triazolo‐pyridazine derivatives, bearing a methyl substituent on the 1,2,3‐triazole ring, were prepared as potential biological agents. N‐Methylation of dimethyl 1,2,3‐triazole‐4,5‐dicarboxylate allowed synthesis of the isomeric 1‐methyl‐4,7‐dihydroxy and 2‐methyl‐4,7‐dihydroxy triazolo‐pyridazines 4a and 4b which, by a chlorination reaction, gave the corresponding 1‐methyl‐4‐chloro‐( 6a ), 1‐methyl‐7‐chloro‐ ( 6b ) and 2‐methyl‐4‐chloro‐ ( 9 ) substituted 1,2,3‐triazolo‐pyridazines. The nucle‐ophilic substitution with hydrazine hydrate and the suitable cyclization to form the 1,2,4‐triazole ring, provided the expected tricyclic isomeric derivatives 8a, 8b and 11 respectively. The p‐methoxybenzyl substituent, introduced as a leaving group to obtain either v‐triazolo‐pyridazine or v‐triazolo‐s‐triazolo‐pyri‐dazine derivatives unsubstituted on the 1,2,3‐triazole ring, appeared inadequate. Some compounds underwent binding assays toward the adenosine A₁and A_2A receptors.
