Facile synthesis of macrocyclic tetrazoles by regioselective cycloalkylation of bistetrazoles with 2,5-dimethylhexane-2,5-diol in perchloric acid

Alkylation of 1,5-bis(tetrazol-5-yl)-3-oxapentane with 2,5-dimethylhexane-2,5-diol in 65% aqueous perchloric acid was found to proceed selectively on the N2 atoms of both tetrazole rings generating a 15-membered macrocycle with tetrazol-2,5-diyl moieties incorporated (yield ca. 80%). Under analogous alkylation conditions 1,5-bis(1-methyltetrazol-5-yl)-3-oxapentane undergoes quaternization resulting in a macrocyclic tetrazolium perchlorate containing two 1-methyltetrazolium-3,5-diyl units linked by 3-oxapentane-1,5-diyl and 2,5-dimethylhexane-2,5-diyl bridges. Crystal structures of the macrocyclic compounds obtained, determined by single crystal X-ray analysis, are described.     

Catalytic hydrogenation of 2,5-bis(p-nitrophenyl)pyrimidine

We have studied the catalytic hydrogenation of 2,5-bis(p-nitrophenyl)pyrimidine over palladium on carbon under different conditions. We have established that hydrogenation in acetic acid at atmospheric hydrogen pressure leads to formation of 2,5-bis(p-aminophenyl)-1,4,5,6-tetrahydropyrimidine. Upon hydrogenation under pressure in DMF, along with 2,5-bis(p-aminophenyl)pyrimidiine, three isomeric (aminophenyl)pyrimidyl-substituted benzenes are formed as by-products. The mixture of these arylazo derivatives can be smoothly reduced by hydrogen under pressure in the presence of Raney nickel to bis(aminophenyl)pyrimidine.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 11, pp. 1534–1539, November, 1993.We would like to acknowledge V.I. Mamatyuk and M. M. Shakirov for helping record and interpret the PMR spectra.

Derivatives of 2-thiono-5-oxo-2,3,4,5-tetrahydroindeno[1,2-d] pyrimidine and 5-oxo-1,2,4,5-tetrahydroindeno [1,2-d] [3,1] thiazine are formed in the cyclocondensation of 2-arylideneindan-1,3-diones with thiourea and N-monomethylthiourea, while only derivatives of indeno [1,2-d]-pyrimidine are formed in the reaction with N,N-di-methylthiourea. S- and N(₃)-Alkylation occur in the alkylation of 2-thiono-4-pheny1-5-oxo-2,3,4,5-tetrahydroindeno[1,2-d]pyrimidine, while only the N-methyl derivative is formed in the alkylation of 2,5-dioxo-4-phenyl-1,2,4,5-tetrahydroindeno [1,2-d] [3,1]thiazine.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 8, pp. 1136–1141, August, 1988.     

Synthesis and Anti-HIV-1 Activity of 2-[2-(3,5-Dimethylphenoxy)ethylthio]pyrimidin-4(3H)-ones

New 2-[2-(3,5-dimethylphenoxy)ethyl]thio derivatives of pyrimidin-4(3H)-one containing various substituents at positions 5 and 6 of the pyrimidine ring were synthesized. It was shown that alkylation of 2-thiouracils with 1-bromo-2-(3,5-dimethylphenoxy)ethane in DMF takes place exclusively at the sulfur atom. The obtained 6-benzyl and 6-(2,6-difluorobenzyl) derivatives have clearly defined virus-inhibiting properties with respect to type 1 human immunodeficiency virus in vitro and suppress its reproduction by 50% at concentrations of 1.3 and 11.2 mM respectively.     

Synthesis and antibacterial activities of novel 2,5-diphenylindolo[2,3-e] pyrazolo[1',5':3",4"]pyrimido[2",1"-c] [1,2,4]triazines

The formation of (E)-3-{2-(2,5-diphenylpyrazolo[1,5-c]pyrimidin-7-yl)hydrazono}indolin-2-ones 3 has been achieved by condensation of equimolar amounts of 7-hydrazino-2,5-diphenylpyrazolo[1,5-c]pyrimidine (1) and isatin (or isatin derivatives) 2 at room temperature. The (E)-products could be isomerized into corresponding the (Z)-3 isomers. Reactions of the latter fused heterocyclic hydrazones towards different electro-philic reagents yielded the corresponding 3-substituted derivatives 4-7. Dehydrative cyclisation of the hydrazones 3 using phosphorus oxychloride afforded the 2,5-diphenyl- indolo[2,3-e]pyrazolo[1',5':3",4"]pyrimido[2",1"-c][1,2,4] triazines 13. The polyfused heterocyclic ring system 13 underwent electrophilic substitution reactions at position 4 rather than at position 3. The 3-bromo isomer of 17 was prepared by a sequence of reactions starting from 2,5-diphenylpyrazolo[1,5-c]pyrimidine-7(6H)-thione (11). The orientation of the electrophilic attack was supported by spectroscopic and chemical evidence. Some of the synthesized compounds were found to possess slight to moderate activity against the microorganisms Bacillus subtilis, Micrococcus luteus, Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa.     

Synthesis and chemistry of 3-tert-butyl-1,5-diaminopyrazole

N-Amination of 3-amino-5-tert-butylpyrazole 11 with hydroxylamine-O-sulfonic acid gave the 1,5-diaminopyrazole 12 with good regiochemical control. The reactions of 12 with certain electrophiles (e.g. acetic anhydride, DMF acetal, aromatic aldehydes, methoxymethylene Meldrum's acid) took place at one (or both) of the amino groups and no cyclised products were obtained. Reaction of 12 with carbon disulfide followed by alkylation under basic conditions provided the pyrazolo[1,5-b]1,2,4-triazole 26 which is a useful photographic magenta coupler. Reactions of 12 with 1,2- and 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds (diketones and ketoesters) provided new pyrazolo[1,5-b]1,2,4-triazines 29, 30, 42 and 43 and the first derivatives of the pyrazolo[1,5-b]1,2,4-triazepine system 31 and 35-36. The X-ray crystal structure of the pyrazolotriazepine 33 is reported.     

Synthesis and Antimicrobial Activity of New Pyrimidine Derivatives Incorporating 1H‐Tetrazol‐5‐ylthio Moiety

In this study, some new 4,6‐dimethoxy pyrimidine derivatives were synthesized. 2‐Amino‐4,6‐dimethoxy‐5‐thiocyanatopyrimidine ( 2 ) was synthesized by a reaction of 2‐amino‐4,6‐dimethoxypyrimidine with KSCN and was converted into 2‐amino‐5‐(1H‐tetrazol‐5‐ylthio)‐4,6‐dimethoxypyrimidine ( 4 ) by treatment with NaN₃ in the presence of NH₄Cl in DMF. Then, 1,5‐disubstitute tetrazole compounds were obtained from 4 by the alkylation reaction. In addition, some 2‐chloro‐4,6‐dimethoxy‐5‐substitute‐pyrimidines were synthesized by the diazotization method. The structures of these compounds were established on the basis of IR, ¹H NMR, APT, and HRMS spectral data and were evaluated for antibacterial activities against various bacterial strains. The results showed that some of these compounds exhibited good antibacterial activity as that of standard antibiotics Penicillin, Ampicillin, and Erythromycin.     

Reactions of heterocyclic cations with N-containing nucleophiles. 13. Investigation of the reaction of 2,4,6-triarylpyrylium salts with hydrazines,semicarbazide, and thiosemicarbazide

The recyclization reactions of 2,4,6-triphenylpyrylium perchlorate with hydrazine and methyl-, phenyl-, benzoyl-, and benzalhydrazines in dimethylformamide (DMF), which proceed differently than in ethanol, were examined. 7-Oxo and 7-thioxo derivatives of 2,3a,5-triphenyl-3H-pyrazolo[1,5-c]pyrimidine were obtained by transformation of 2,4,6-triarylpyrylium salts with semicarbazide and thiosemicarbazide in DMF. The tautomeric forms of the products were established by mass spectrometry and chemical transformations.See [1] For Communication 12.Deceased.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 5, pp. 695–701, May, 1983.

Dihydro-1,2,4-triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine derivatives were obtained by condensation of 3-amino-1,2,4-triazole with 1,3-diaryl-1-propen-3-ones. The structure of 5-phenyl-7-(4-methylphenyl)-4,7-dihydro-1,2,4-triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine was established by x-ray diffraction analysis.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 2, pp. 229–233, February, 1988.     

Synthesis of racemic and enantiomeric 3-pyrrolidinyl derivatives of nucleobases

The synthesis of novel 3-pyrrolidinyl derivatives of nucleobases is described. Starting from malic acid, we improved the synthesis of both racemic and optically active N-benzyl-3-hydroxypyrrolidine-2,5-diones, which were transformed in four steps into N-tert-butyloxycarbonyl-3-mesyloxypyrrolidines, the key synthons for the alkylation of purine and pyrimidine nucleobases. Alkylations of cesium salts of purines and sodium salts of pyrimidines with N-tert-butyloxycarbonyl-3-mesyloxypyrrolidines proceeded smoothly, giving high yields of 9-substituted purine derivatives and moderate yields of 1-substituted pyrimidine derivatives. Using (S)-N-tert-butyloxycarbonyl-3-mesyloxypyrrolidine as the same intermediate for the synthesis of both enantiomeric N-Boc-3-pyrrolidinyladenines, and considering the results obtained on chiral HPLC analysis of the products, we proved that nucleophilic displacement of the mesyloxy group proceeded with inversion and not with retention of the configuration. Prepared compounds were tested for cytostatic and antiviral properties, but no significant activity was found.     

Synthesis of Nitrogen Heterocycles from Methyl α‐ and β‐d‐Glucopyranosides

Eight nitrogen heterocycles, mono and disubstituted tetrazoles and oxadiazoles, were synthesized from methyl d‐glucopyranoside anomers. The monosubstituted tetrazoles resulted from the reaction of 6‐cyanoglucopyranoside derivatives with sodium azide. By alkylation of the monosubstituted tetrazoles, the 1,5 and 2,5 disubstituted tetrazoles were obtained. The monosubstituted tetrazoles were reacted with acetic anhydride to give the oxadiazoles.     

Pyrimidine Derivatives and Related Compounds II: Synthesis of some derivatives of pyrimido[1,2:2′,3′]pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidines,a new ring system

3,5-Diamino-4-phenylazo-pyrazoles ( 1a–1c ) react with acetylacetone and with ethyl acetoacetate to yield the corresponding pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine derivatives 2a–2c and 3a–3c , respectively. Whereas 1a–1c add readily to methyl acrylate yielding the 4,5,6,7-tetrahydropyrazolo[1,5-a]-pyrimidine derivatives 5a–5c, 1a–1c add to methylacrylonitrile or methyl methacrylate only under drastic conditions to yield 5d–5f . The pyrimido[1,2:2′,3′]pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine derivatives 10a–10c are prepared by the action of acrylonitrile on 2a–2c . Compounds 10a–10c are readily converted into the corresponding oxo derivatives 12a–12c on treatment with acetic acid-hydrochloric acid mixture.     

18F-labeled pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine derivatives: synthesis from 2,4-dinitrobenzamide and tosylate precursors and comparative biological evaluation for tumor imaging with positron emission tomography

We previously reported 18F-labeled pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine derivatives: 7-(2-[18F]fluoroethylamino)-5-methylpyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine-3-carbonitrile ([18F]1) and N-(2-(3-cyano-5-methylpyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidin-7-ylamino)ethyl)-2-[18F]fluoro-4-nitro- benzamide ([18F]2). Preliminary biodistribution experiments of both compounds showed s slow clearance rate from excretory tissues which warranted further investigation for tumor imaging with PET. Here we modified [18F]1 and [18F]2 by introducing polar groups such as ester, hydroxyl and carboxyl and developed three additional 18F-18 labeled pyrazolo[1,5-a] pyrimidine derivatives: (3-Cyano-7-(2-[18F]fluoroethylamino)pyrazolo[1,5-a]-pyrimidin-5- yl)methyl acetate ([18F]3), 7-(2-[18F]fluoroethylamino)-5-(hydroxymethyl)pyrazolo[1,5-a]- pyrimidine-3-carbonitrile ([18F]4) and (S)-6-(3-cyano-5-methylpyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidin-7-ylamino)-2-(2-[18F]fluoro-4-nitrobenzamido)hexanoic acid ([18F]5). The radiolabeled probes were synthesized by nucleophilic substitution of the corresponding tosylate and nitro precursors with 18F-fluoride. In Vitro studies showed higher uptake of [18F]3 and [18F]4 than that of [18F]5 by S180 tumor cells. In Vivo biodistribution studies in mice bearing S180 tumors showed that the uptake of both [18F]3 and [18F]4 in tumors displayed an increasing trend while the uptake of [18F]5 in tumor decreased through the course of the 120 min study. This significant difference in tumor uptake was also found between [18F]1 and [18F]2. Thus, we compared the biological behavior of the five tracers and reported the tumor uptake kinetic differences between 2-[18F]fluoroethylamino- and 2-[18F]fluoro-4-nitro- benzamidopyrazolo[1,5-a] pyrimidine derivatives.
