Aminomethylation of 3,5-dicyano-6-oxo-1,4,5,6-tetrahydropyridine-2-thiolates upon treatment with primary amines and excess formaldehyde leads to 3,7-diazabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane derivatives.

In addition, the reaction of hydrazino derivative 12 with reagents such as formic acid and triethyl orthoformate yielded the fused tetraheterocyclic 8-cyano-9- ethoxy-5-(2′-nitrophenyl)- 7-phenylpyrido[3′,2′:4,5]thieno[2,3-e]-1, 2,4-triazolo[4,3-c]pyrimidine system 19 .

Synthesis of 4-methylfuro[3′,2′:5,6]benzofuro[3,2-c]pyridine

4-Methylfuro[3′,2′:5,6]benzofuro[3,2-c]pyridine ( 3 ) was synthetized from 2-acetylfuro[3,2-f]benzo[b]furan ( 4 ) or from 2-acetyl-5,6-dihydrofuro[3,2-f]benzo[b]furan ( 10 ). The key step involves a rearrangement-cyclization of azides 6 and 12 to form 4-methylfuro[3′,2′:5,6]benzofuro[3,2-c]pyridin-1(2H) one ( 7 ) and 8,9-dihydro-4-methylfuro[3′,2′:5,6]benzofuro[3,2c]pyridin-1(2H)-one ( 13 ).

The structures of the compounds obtained were confirmed by their IR, PMR, and UV spectra.See [1] for Communication 39.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 4, pp. 477–480, April, 1981.     

Electrophilic substitution of furo[3,2-c] pyridine

Furo[3,2-c] pyridine (I) was nitrated to give 2-nitrofuro[3,2-c]pyridine (II). Bromination and chlorination of I gave, respectively, 2,3-dibromo-2,3-dihydrofuro[3,2-c]pyridine (III) and 2,3-dichloro-2,3-dihydrofuro[3,2-c]pyridine (IV). Oxidation of I with hydrogen peroxide afforded furo[3,2-c]pyridine 5-oxide (V) which was converted to I by phosphorus trichloride and to 4-chlorofuro[3,2-c]pyridine (VI) by phosphorus oxychloride.     

A New Route to Partially Hydrogenated Thiazolo[3,2-a]pyridine

Chemistry of thienopyridines. XXXVI. Further studies on nitration in the thieno[2,3-b]- and thieno[3,2-b]pyridine systems

Three compounds, thieno[3,2-b]pyridine 4-oxide, 7-nitrothieno[3,2-b]pyridine 4-oxide ( 1 c), and 6-cyano-thieno[2,3-b]pyridine, undergo nitration by means of a mixture of nitric and sulfuric acids to yield 3,7-dinitro-thieno[3,2-b]pyridine (3%), 3,7-dinitrothieno[3,2-b]pyridine 4-oxide ( 1d ) (26%), and 6-carbamoyl-5-nitrothieno[2,3-b]pyridine ( 6b ) (11%), respectively. Structures of the products were ascertained by spectral means, notably infrared, ¹H nmr, and ¹³C nmr. It is proposed that 1d exists (at least in part) as a tricyclic structure and that 6b may result from an intramolecular mechanism of nitration. An attempt to de-N-oxygenate 1c with excess triphenylphosphine removes more than one oxygen atom per molecule (as triphenylphosphine oxide) without producing an identified thienopyridine product.     

Furopyridines. III. A new synthesis of furo[3,2-b]pyridine

A convenient synthesis of furo[3,2-b]pyridine and its 2- and 3-methyl derivatives from ethyl 3-hydroxypiconate ( 1 ) is described. The hydroxy ester 1 was O-alkylated with ethyl bromoacetate or ethyl 2-bromopropionate to give the diester 2a or 2b . Cyclization of compound 2a afforded ethyl 3-hydroxyfuro[3,2-b]pyridine-2-carboxylate ( 3 ) which in turn was hydrolyzed and decarboxylated to give furo[3,2-b]pyridin-3-(2H)-one ( 4a ). Cyclization of 2b gave the 2-methyl derivative 4b . Reduction of 4a and 4b with sodium borohydride yielded the corresponding hydroxy derivative 5a and 5b respectively, which were dehydrated with phosphoric acid to give furo[3,2-b]pyridine ( 6a ) and its 2-methyl derivative ( 6b ). 2-Acetylpyridin-3-ol ( 8 ) was converted to the ethoxycarbonylmethyl ether ( 9 ) by O-alkylation with ethyl bromoacetate, which was cyclized to give 3-methylfuro[3,2-b]pyridine-2-carboxylic acid ( 10 ). Decarboxylation of 10 afforded 3-methylfuro[3,2-b]pyridine ( 11 ).

Derivatives of 2-chloroimidazo[1,2-a]pyridine were obtained when 5-chloro-1-methyl-1H-imidazole was used.

A four-step synthesis of 5-carboxamidopyrrolo[3,2-b]pyridine ( 3 ) from pyrrolo[3,2-b]pyridine ( 4 ) is described (45% overall yield). The one-step conversion of the N-oxide 6 of the pyrrolo[3,2-b]pyridine 5 leads to the 5-cyanopyrrolo[3,2-b]pyridine 7. The cyano group is hydrolyzed to afford the title compound 3 , which is the 4-aza analog of the indole backbone in 5-carboxamidotryptamine, a potent agonist of the neurotransmitter, serotonin.

Treatment of 4-hydroxy-6-methylpyran-2-one with chloracetalhyde in basic aqueous medium gave 6-methylfuro[3,2-c]pyran-4-one. This compound reacted with ammonium hydroxide and some primary amines to form the corresponding N-substituted furo[3,2-c]pyrid-4-ones which may also be obtained from 4-hydroxy-α-pyridones. Furo[3,2-c]pyran-4-one was acylated at the 2 position and 4-chloro-6-methylfuro[3,2-c]pyridine easily gave 4-substituted derivatives by displacement of the halogen atom.
