Synthesis of pyrido[2,3-e]pyrrolo[1,2-a]pyrazine derivatives via tandem iminium cyclization and smiles rearrangement

The tandem iminium cyclization and Smiles rearrangement of pyridinyloxyacetaldehyde 1 and a primary amine generated a novel pyrido[2,3-e]pyrrolo[1,2-a]pyrazine scaffold. TFA was discovered to be an efficient catalyst in the reactions with aromatic amines, whereas TiCl4 was found to be superior in the case of aliphatic amines. This methodology proved to be efficient in the preparation of a library of diversified pyrido[2,3-e]pyrrolo[1,2-a]pyrazine derivatives.

Pyrrolothienopyrazines: Synthèse de la pyrrolo[1,2-a]thieno[3,2-e]pyrazine et de la pyrrolo[1,2-a]thieno[2,3-e]pyrazine

The synthesis of pyrrolo[1,2-α]thieno[3,2-e]pyrazine and pyrrolo[1,2-α]-thieno[2,3-e]pyrazine is described.

Synthesis of Imidazo[1′,5′:1,2]pyrido[3,4-b]indole Derivatives

Summary.  The reactions of 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-β-carboline-1-carboxylic acid and its ethyl ester with alkyl and aryl isothiocyanates under mild conditions resulted in the corresponding thiohydantoin-fused tetrahydro-β-carbolines. Treatment of the ethyl ester with isocyanates furnished ethyl 2-alkyl- or arylcarbamoyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-β-carboline-1-carboxylates which were transformed to hydantoin-fused tetrahydro-β-carbolines. The structures of the thiohydantoin compounds, involving two conformers and the presence of keto-enol tautomerism, were determined by NMR spectroscopy. Corresponding author.

Synthesis and regiospecificity in methylation of pyrido[1,2-a]pyrazinium-1- and 3-olates and pyrido[1,2-b]pyridazinium-2- and 4-olates

New methods have been developed for the synthesis of pyrido[1,2-a]pyrazinium-1- and 3-olates 5a-f, 9 and 1-thiolate 24 as well as of pyrido[1,2-b]pyridazinium-4- and 2-olates 14, 20 . The methylation of these new compounds was studied by soft and hard methylating agents. Depending on the nature of the reagent used, the pyrido[1,2-a]pyrazinium-1-olates 5a-f gave NMe 22a-f and/or OMe 23a-f products, whereas the 3-olate 9 and both the 4- and 2-pyridazinium-olates 14, 20 afforded solely OMe compounds 10, 15, 21 .

Synthesis and spectral data of pyrido[2,3-e]-as-triazines

The pyrido[2,3-e]-as-triazine and its 3-phenyl derivatives were prepared via cyclisation with polyphosphoric acid of suitable 3-substituted 2-aminopyridines obtained by reduction of the corresponding 2-nitropyridines. The 3-substituted 2-nitropyridines were obtained by action of hydrazine or benzoylhydrazide with the appropriate 3-halo-2-nitropyridines; only 3-fluoro-2-nitropyridine leads to the 3-substituted 2-nitropyridines. This experimental results are in agreements with the CNDO and MNDO calculations.
