An improved procedure is suggested for preparing 2-amino-1,2,4-triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidines from 3,5-diamino-1,2,4-triazole and unsaturated aromatic ketones, with acetyl protection of the amino group in the step of oxidation of 2-amino-4,7-dihydro-1,2,4-triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidines.     

A synthesis of 6-functionalized 4,7-dihydro[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidines

6-Unsubstituted 7-R-4,7-dihydro-1,2,4-triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidines (R = H or Me) were synthesized via two pathways: (a) deacylation of the corresponding 5-acetyl Biginelli-like precursors in KOH/H₂O and (b) reduction of the corresponding 1,2,4-triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidines using LiAlH₄. The products could be easily formylated at position 6, which is promising for the further synthesis of functionalized 6-substituted derivatives of 4,7-dihydro-1,2,4-triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidines. In contrast, 6-acetyl-7-(4-(N,N-dimethylaminophenyl))-5-methyl-4,7-dihydro-1,2,4-triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine undergoes a cascade process in KOH/H₂O, leading to the formation of a 4,5,8,9-tetrahydro[1,2,4]triazolo[5,1-b]quinazoline derivative.

Synthèse et étude physicochimique des 1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-a]-pyridines et des 1,2,4-triazolo[2,3-a]pyridines

The synthesis of 1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-a] and [2,3-a]pyridines 7, 8 was achieved by cyclization of 2-hydrazino-8-nitropyridine 3a with formic acid. The 4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-1,2,4-triazolo[2,3-a]pyridine 13 and 8-amino-1,2,4-triazolo[2,3-a]pyridine 9 were obtained by catalytic hydrogenation. The reduction of triazolo pyridine 8 using stannous chloride led to the intermediate compound 10 which with acetic anhydride afforded 8-acetylamino-5-chloro-1,2,4-triazolo[2,3-a]pyridine 10a . The structure of the derivatives was determined by ¹H-nmr (DMSO-d₆).

Cyclocondensations of diethyl benzylidenemalonate with 3-amino-5-methylpyrazole, 3,5-diamino-1,2,4-triazole, 3,4,5-triamino-1,2,4-triazole, and 2-amino-benzimidazole in alcohols take a single route and lead to the formation of functionally substituted partially hydrogenated pyrazolo-, triazolo[1,5-a]-pyrimidin-5-ones and pyrimido[1,2-a]benzimidazol-2-one respectively. From reaction mixtures involving 3-amino-1,2,4-triazole and its 5-methylsulfanyl analog in methanol the intermediate products of heterocyclization were isolated forming as a result of alkylation with the β-carbon of the unsaturated ester the endocyclic nucleophilic sites of aminoazoles. The structure of one among the products obtained, diethyl(3-amino-5-methylsulfanyl-1,2,4-triazol-2-yl)benzylmalonate was proved by X-ray crystallography. In DMF the same reagents yielded mixtures of partially hydrogenated triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidin-5-ones.

Naphthyridines. Part 3: First example of the polyfunctionally substituted 1,2,4-triazolo[1,5-g][1,6]naphthyridines ring system

Treatment of 1,2,4-triazoles (1) with diethylmalonate in bromobenzene gave 1,2,4-triazolo-[1,5-a]pyridines 2. Chlorination of 2 using POCl₃/DMF (Vilsmeier reagent) led to the isolation of 7-chloro-6-formyl-1,2,4-triazolo[1,5-a]pyridine derivative 4, which reacted with the stabilized ylid 5 to afford 6-ethoxycarbonylvinyl-1,2,4-triazolo[1,5-a]-pyridines 6. Azidation of 6 yielded the corresponding azido compound 7, (Scheme 2). Reduction of 7 with Na₂S₂O₄ gave the corresponding 7-amino compound 8, which cyclized in boiling DMF to give the novel 1,2,4-triazolo[1,5-g][1,6]naphthyridines 9. On the other hand, reacting 7 with one equivalent of PPh₃ (aza-Wittig reaction) in CH₂Cl₂ gave 7-imino-phosphorane derivative 10, and subsequent cyclization in boiling DMF afforded the new 1,2,4-triazolo[1,5-g][1,6]naphthyridine derivative 11 (Scheme 3). However, treatment of 10 with phenyl isothiocyanate in 1,2-dichlorobenzene at reflux temperature gave the new 1,2,4-triazolo[1,5-g][1,6]naphthyridine derivative 14 (Scheme 4). Refluxing 6 with excess of a primary amines 15a,b in absolute. EtOH yielded the corresponding 7-alkyl-amino-1,2,4-triazolo[1,5-a]pyridines 16a,b.
