Malononitrile reacted with the title compound to give 6-amino-5-cyano-2-(3,3-dicyano-2-methylallylidene-4-methyl-2H-pyran (3). Treatment of 3 with hot 80% sulfuric acid yielded 4,7-dimethyl-56-hydroxy-2(1H)quinolone. With concentrated aqueous sodium hydroxide, 3 gave 5-amino-3,6-dicyano-4,7-dimethyl-2(1H)quinolone and 5-amino-6-carbamoyl-3-cyano-4,7-dimethyl-2(1H)quinolone.

Compound 3 also reacted with methylamine, butylamine and piperidine to give 8-amino-5-cyano-4-methyl-2-pyridone, 6-bulylamino-5-cyano-4-methyl-2-pyridone and 5-eyano-4-methyl-6-piperidino-2-pyridone respectively.

This compound is also formed by recyclization of 2,6-diamino-3,5-dicyano-4-methyl-4H-thiopyran.

The intermediate products of this reaction — cis, trans-2-amino,4,6-diaryl-1,1,3-tricyanohexa-1,3,5-trienes —have been isolated; on heating these are transformed reversibly into the initial cyclohexadienes or they isomerize irreversibly into trans, trans-hexatrienes, while in the presence of a base (piperidine, diethylamine, triethylamine, KOH), they cyclize to form the above-mentioned' pyridine derivatives.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 5, PP. 621–625, May, 1986.     

Synthesis of thiopyrano[2,3-d] pyrimidines and thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidines

The reaction of 4-chloro-5-cyano-2-methylthiopyrimidine (I) with ethyl mercaptosuccinate (II) in refluxing ethanol containing sodium carbonate has afforded diethyl 3-amino-2-(methyl-thio)-7H-thiopyrano[2,3-d]pyrimidine-6,7-dicarboxylate (IV). Displacement of the methylthio group in IV with hydrazine gave the corresponding hydrazino derivative which underwent Schiff base formation with benzaldehyde or 2,6-dichlorobenzaldehyde. Treatment of IV in refluxing acetic anhydride afforded the corresponding diacetylated amino derivative. Partial saponification of IV with sodium hydroxide gave 5-amino-2-(methylthio)-7H-thiopyrano-[2,3-d]pyrimidine 6,7-dicarboxylic acid 6 ethyl ester (VIII). The reaction of 4-amino-6-chloro-5-cyano-2-phenylpyrirnidine (XI) with II resulted in the formation of ethyl 4-amino-6-(ethoxy-carbonyl)-5,6-dihydro-5-amino-2-phenylthieno[2,3-d]pyrimidine-6-acetate (XIII) which when subjected to hydrolysis gave ethyl 4,5-diamino-2-phenylthieno[2,3-d]pyrimidine-6-acetate isolated as the hydrochloride (XIV). Diazotization of IV with sodium nitrite in acetic acid unexpectedly afforded diethyl 5-(acetyloxy)-6,7-dihydro-6-hydroxy-2-(methylthio)-5H-thio-pyrano[2,3-d]pyrimidine-6,7-diearboxylate (XV). Several structural ambiguities were resolved by ir and pmr spectra.

Heterocycles. Part V. Reaction of α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds with arylacetamides. A synthesis of 2-pyridone derivatives

The reaction of 1,3-diaryl-2-propene-1-ones I with arylacetamides II, in the presence of sodium ethoxide under reflux, for two hours, gave the corresponding 3,4,6-triaryl-3,4-dihydro-2(1H)-pyridones IV. However, when the reaction of these ketones was carried out in the presence of sodium hydride, they gave the corresponding 3,4,6-triaryl-2(1H)-pyridones VI or a mixture of IV and VI.

Treatment of compounds IV with selenium produced the corresponding 2-pyridones VI. Acetylation of the latter compounds gave the corresponding 2-acetyl derivatives VIII. The structure of all products was confirmed by chemical and spectroscopic evidence, and the mechanism of the reactions was discussed.

Summary. We describe the effect of the solvent during the intra-cyclization of the arylhydrazonomalononitrile to obtain new and useful substituted cinnolines, namely 4-amino-3-cyanocinnolines and (4-amino-cinnolin-3-yl)arylmethanones. 4-Amino-3-cyano-5,7-dimethyl-cinnoline was treated with n-hexylamine, cyclohexylamine, and isopropylamine to yield the corresponding cinnoline-3-carboxamidine derivatives. Furthermore, 4-amino-3-cyano-5,7-dimethylcinnoline was reacted with diaminoethane to give 4-amino-5,7-dimethyl-3-(4,5-dihydroimidazol-2-yl)cinnoline. Treatment of 4-amino-3-cyano-5,7-dimethylcinnoline with hydrazine hydrate provided 3-amino-7,9-dimethyl-1H-pyrazolo[4,3-c]cinnoline. Moreover, (4-aminocinnolin-3-yl)phenylmethanones were treated with hydrazine hydrate to give 3-phenyl-1H-pyrazolo[4,3-c]cinnolines. Finally, reactions of (4-aminocinnolin-3-yl)phenylmethanone with 3,5-dimethylaniline, phenyl hydrazine, hydroxylamine, and phenyl isothiocyanate are discussed. Chemical and spectroscopic evidence for the structures of the new compounds is presented.

Summary Pyrolysis and photolysis of 2-amino-3,5-dicyano-6-phenyl-4H-pyran (1) afford HNCO, acrylonitrile, cinnamonitrile, and 2-hydroxy-3,5-dicyano-6-phenylpyridine. Pyrolysis of 2-carboxyimino-3,5-dicyano-6-phenyl-4H-pyran (2) gives HCN, acrylonitrile, cinnamonitrile and 2-hydroxy-3,5-dicyano-6-phenylpyridine. Furthermore, both pyrolysis and photolysis of 2,6-diamino-3,5-dicyanothiopyran (3a) gives rise to HNCS, acrylonitrile and 6-amino-3,5-dicyano-6-mercaptopyridin. Moreover, comparative studies of pyrolysis and photolysis of 2,6-dicyano-4-arylthiopyran derivatives3b–d revealed similar results.

Fused s-triazino heterocycles. XVI. 13H-1,3,7,8,12a, 13c-hexaazabenzo[de]naphthacene and 1,3,7,8,11b, 12,14,14d-octaazadibenzo[de,hi]naphthacene,two new ring systems

The reaction of 7,9-dibromo-5-tribromomethyl-2-t-butyl-4-cyano-1,3,6,9b-tetraazaphenalene ( 1a ) with 2-amino-5-picoline is shown to give 4,6-dibromo-2-t-butyl-13-imino-11-methyl-13H-1,3,7,8,12a,13c-hexaazabenzo[de]naphthacene ( 3 ) and the isomeric 7,9-dibromo-2-t-butyl-4-cyano-5N-(5-methyl-2-pyridyl)amino-1,3,-6,9b-tetraazaphenalene ( 2a ). A related annulation reaction of 7,9-dibromo-2-t-butyl-5-chloro-4-cyano-1,3,6,9b-tetraazaphenalene ( 1g ) with 2-amino-6-trimethylacetamidopyridine leads in two steps to 4,6-dibromo-2,13-di-t-butyl-1,3,7,8,11b,12,14,14d-octaazadibenzo[de,hi]naphthacene ( 4a ). The preparation of 1g , 5-azido-7,9-dibromo-2-t-butyl-4-cyano-1,3,6,9b-tetraazaphenalene ( 1c ) and the reaction of the latter with pyrrolidine leading to 7,9-dibromo-2-t-butyl-4-cyano-5-(1-pyrrolidino)-1,3,6,9b-tetraazaphenalene ( 1e ) are also reported. Attempted displacement of the azido-group on 1c by 2,6-diaminopyridine affords surprisingly 5-amino-7,9-dibromo-2-t-butyl-4-cyano-1,3,6,9b-tetraazaphenalene ( 1d ).
