Dealkylation of quaternary 1-alkylazolo[a]pyridinium salts

A convenient method is proposed for the preparation of new derivatives of free heterocyclic bases of imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine, pyrido[1,2-a]benzimidazole, and [1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]pyridine series. This method entails the dealkylation of N-(2-cyanoethyl)- or N-benzylazolopyridinium quaternary salts in the presence of bases and reaction with ammonium formate in the presence of Pd/C, respectively.     

Thiazolo [3,2-a] pyridinium salts

The sulfides formed by the reaction of α-halo ketones or α-halo acetals with 2-mercaptopyridine may be cyclized in good yield to form thiazolo[3, 2-a]pyridinium salts. The presence of chloro or nitro substituents on the pyridine ring does not interfere with the synthesis. Nitration of 3-methylthiazolo[3, 2-a]pyridinium perchlorate has been found to occur at position 8.     

Anomeric Stereoauxiliary Cleavage of the C−N Bond of d-Glucosamine for the Preparation of Imidazo[1,5-a]pyridines

The targeted cleavage of the C−N bonds of alkyl primary amines in sustainable compounds of biomass according to a metal-free pathway and the conjunction of nitrogen in the synthesis of imidazo[1,5-a]pyridines are still highly challenging. Despite tremendous progress in the synthesis of imidazo[1,5-a]pyridines over the past decade, many of them can still not be efficiently prepared. Herein, we report an anomeric stereoauxiliary approach for the synthesis of a wide range of imidazo[1,5-a]pyridines after cleaving the C−N bond of d -glucosamine (α-2° amine) from biobased resources. This new approach expands the scope of readily accessible imidazo[1,5-a]pyridines relative to existing state-of-the-art methods. A key strategic advantage of this approach is that the α-anomer of d -glucosamine enables C−N bond cleavage via a seven-membered ring transition state. By using this novel method, a series of imidazo[1,5-a]pyridine derivatives (>80 examples) was synthesized from pyridine ketones (including para-dipyridine ketone) and aldehydes (including para-dialdehyde). Imidazo[1,5-a]pyridine derivatives containing diverse important deuterated C(sp²)−H and C(sp³)−H bonds were also efficiently achieved.

Synthesis of diarylazolo[<Emphasis Type="Italic">a</Emphasis>]pyridines from [(<Emphasis Type="Italic">Z</Emphasis>)-2,4-diaryl-4-oxo-2-butenyl]azolium salts

A method for the synthesis of derivatives of [1, 3]thiazolo[3,2-a]pyridines, pyrido[2,1-b][1, 3]benzo-thiazole, [1, 3, 4]thiadiazolo[3,2-a]pyridine, and [1, 2, 4]triazolo[4,3-a]pyridine, which includes base initiated cyclization of quaternary azolium salts, formed by the interaction of (Z)-1,3-diaryl-4-bromo-2-buten-1-ones with 1-alkyl-1H-1,2,4-triazoles, 4-methyl-1,3-thiazole, 1,3-benzothiazole, and N-phenyl-1,3,4-thiadiazole-2-amine. Derivatives of 2-chloroimidazo[1,2-a]pyridine were obtained when 5-chloro-1-methyl-1H-imidazole was used.     

Au(i)-catalyzed and iodine-mediated cyclization of enynylpyrazoles to provide pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyridines

Pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyridines and 6-iodopyrazolo[1,5-a]pyridines were synthesized by gold-catalyzed and iodine-mediated cyclization of enynylpyrazoles in good to excellent yields, respectively. The iodinated adducts were further converted to 6-arylpyrazolo[1,5-a]pyridines via Suzuki-Miyaura coupling reaction and 6-cyanopyrazolo[1,5-a]pyridine by Ullmann condensation reaction. One of the cyclization adducts, 2-(4-fluorophenyl)pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyridine, was converted to a p38 kinase inhibitor, 2-(4-fluorophenyl)-3-(4-pyridinyl)pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyridine, in two steps.     

Quantum chemical predictions concerning two unknown “mesoionic” compounds

The Pariser-Parr-Pople approximation was used to predict the properties of compounds I, 3-oxo-2H-1,2,3-triazolo[3,4-a]pyridine, and II, 3-oxoisoxazolo[2,3-a]pyridine, originated by joining a pyridine ring to two sydnone-like heterocyclic systems not yet reported in the literature. A parallel computation was carried out for two known compounds of similar structure, to give the predictions a better reliability through the comparison with observed spectral data and chemical behaviour. Compound I is expected to be stable, with an absorption spectrum similar to III, 2-oxo-1,3,4-oxadiazolo[4,5-a]pyridine, and chemical properties analogous to IV, 1-methyl-3-oxo-1,2,4-triazolo-[4,3-a]pyridine. A reaction path is suggested for obtaining from I the unknown isomeric structure V, 3-oxo-1H-1,2,3-triazolo[3,4-a]pyridine. Compound II is predicted as an unstable orange-red substance which should be handled and kept at low temperatures.

The mechanism of this rearrangement was investigated by (15)N-labelling and takes place via transient 1,3-diazepines.
