Decomposition of the diazonium sulfate derived from N-methyl-(1,3-diphenylpyrazol-5-yl)-2-aminobenzamide gave products formulated as 7,9-dimethyldibenzo[e,g]pyrazolo[1,5-a][1,3]-diazocin-10-(9H)one (yield 8%), 4-methyl-1,3-diphenylpyrazolo[3,4-c]isoquinolin-5-one (yield 7%) and 4′-hydroxy-2-methyl-1′,3′-diphenylspiro[isoindoline-1,5′-[2]pyrazolin]3-one (yield 10%). The spiro compounds 6a,b underwent thermal and acid-catalysed conversion into the hitherto unknown 2-benzopyrano[4,3-c]pyrazole ring system 7a,b in good yield. Analytical and spectral data are presented which supported the structures proposed.     

Synthesis and alkylation of pyrazolo[3,4-c]isoquinolines and hexahydrocyclohepta[d]pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridines

The condensation of 1-acyl-2-(morpholin-4-yl)cycloalkenes with 3-amino-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazol-5(4H)-ones gave the corresponding 2,3,6,7,8,9-hexahydropyrazolo[3,4-c]isoquinoline and 3,6,7,8,9,10-hexahydrocyclohepta[ d]pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridine derivatives. Alkylation of 2,3,6,7,8,9-hexahydropyrazolo[3,4-c]-isoquinolines with alkyl halides occurred at the nitrogen atom in the 3-position. The structure of 7-methyl-2,5-diphenyl-2,3,6,7,8,9-hexahydro-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-c]isoquinolin-1-one was proved by X-ray analysis.     

Tautomerism of Aza heterocycles: V. Structure of the spontaneous transformation products of 5-methyl-2-phenyl-3,3a,4,5,6,7-hexahydro-2H-pyrazolo-[4,3-c]pyridin-3-one in crystal and solution

5-Methyl-2-phenyl-3,3a,4,5,6,7-hexahydro-2H-pyrazolo[4,3-c]pyridin-3-one exists as zwitterion with a proton localized on the nitrogen atom of the piperidine ring and negative charge delocalized over the pyrazololate fragment. The compound is stable in crystal but ustable in solution. Its chromatographic purification and attempts to recrystallize or synthesize by condensation of phenylhydrazine with alkyl 1-methyl-4-oxopiperidin-3-carboxylate on heating in alcohols or benzene lead to the formation of a complex mixture of products. Among these products, we isolated and identified 3a,3a′-methylenebis(5-methyl-2-phenyl-3,3a,4,5,6,7-hexahydro-2H-pyrazolo[4,3-c]pyridin-3-one), 1-methyl-3-(2-phenylhydrazinylidene)pyrrolidin-2-one, and 5-methyl-2-phenyl-3,5,6,7-tetrahydro-2H-pyrazolo[4,3-c]pyridine. The structure of methyl 3-(2-phenylhydrazinylidene)-4,5-dihydro-3H-pyrrole-2-carboxylate and 3a,5-dimethyl-2-phenyl-3,3a,4,5,6,7-hexahydro-2H-pyrazolo[4,3-c]pyridin-3-one was proved by NMR spectroscopy. 3a,5-Dimethyl-2-phenyl-3,3a,4,5,6,7-hexahydro-2H-pyrazolo[4,3-c]pyridin-3-one was isolated as hydrochloride hydrate whose structure was determined by X-ray analysis.     

The synthesis of medium-sized cyclic lactams by the intramolecular friedel-crafts cyclization of isocyanates. Formation of novel pyrazolo[3,4-c]benzolactams

A series of 4-ω-phenylalkyl substituted-1H-pyrazol-5-amines has been synthesized from the corresponding α-acetylphenylalkanenitriles and methylhydrazine. They were converted into the corresponding 5-isocyanates and cyclized under Friedel-Crafts conditions to medium-sized cyclic lactams. The reaction was shown to give the 7-, 8-, 9-, and 10-membered lactams but failed to yield the 11-membered lactam. Rings synthesized were: pyrazolo[3,4-c][2]benzazepin-2(1H)-one; 10H-pyrazolo[3,4-c][2]benzazocin-10-one; pyrazolo[3,4-c][2]benzazonin-11(1H)-one; 12H-pyrazolo[3,4-c][2]benzazocin-12-one.     

Synthesis of some novel 5-substituted benzamido-6-arylamino-pyrazolo[3,4-D]pyrimidin-4-one derivatives for herbicidal activity

Abstract

Sixteen novel 3-methylthio-5-substituted benzamido-6-arylamino-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-4 (5H)-one derivatives (4a–p) were successfully synthesized from iminophosphoranes, aryl isocyanate, and substituted benzoylhydrazine. The structures of the title compounds were elucidated by FT-IR, ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, and HRMS. Herbicidal activity of the compounds 4a–p against Brassica napus (rape), Echinochloa crusgalli (barnyard grass), Cucumis sativus (cucumber), and Triticum aestivum (wheat) were determined. The results showed that 5-(2-chlorobenzamido)-6-phenylamino-3-methylthio-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-4 (5H)-one (4c) displayed remarkable inhibition activity against the stalk and root of rape with 100% inhibition rate at the dosages of 10?mg/L and 100?mg/L, and 5-(4-nitrobenzamido)-6-phenylamino-3-methylthio-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-4 (5H) -one (4d) exhibited excellent activity against the stalk and root of barnyard grass with 100% inhibition rate at the same dosages.     

The reactions of 4-dicyanomethylene-2-phenyl-4H-1-benzopyran and some benzologs with nucleophiles

4-Dicyanomethylene-2-phenyl-4H-1-benzopyran (1) reacts with primary amines under mild conditions to give 4-imino-3-alkyl-5-alkylimino-2-phenyl-3,4-dihydro-5H-[1]benzopyrano[3,4-c]-pyridine derivatives which, in turn, are hydrolyzed with acid to 4-imino-3-alkyl-2-phenyl-3,4-dihydro-5H-[1]benzopyrano[3,4-c]pyridin-5-ones. When more vigorous conditions are employed for the reactions of 1 with primary amines, Dimroth rearrangements take place and the products are derivatives of 4-alkyl- (or aryl)amino-5-alkyl- (or aryl)imino-2-phenyl-5H-[1]benzopyrano-[3,4-c]pyridine. The latter compounds are hydrolyzed by acid to the corresponding 5-pyridone derivatives. The reaction of 1 with piperidine gives 2-phenyl-4-piperidyl-5H-[1]benzopyrano-[3,4-c]pyridin-5-one. Sodium methoxide reacts with 1 to give 3-cyano-2-methoxy-4-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-6-phenylpyridine. Two benzologs of 1 have been allowed to react with primary and secondary amines and the products are analogous to those obtained from 1 .

3-Hydrazino-7-methyl-5-phenyl-5H-pyrazolo[3,4-c]-as-triazine 1 underwent ring closure and/or condensation reaction with formic acid, acetic acid, acetic anhydride and benzoyl chloride to afford 1H-pyrazolo-[3,4-d]-s-triazolo[3,4-c]-as-triazines 2, 5 and 7a and/or N-acyl derivatives 3, 4 and 6 . N-Acyl derivatives 3 and 6 underwent cyclisation reaction on treatment with phosphoryl chloride to give 5 and 7a . 3-Methyl-1-phenyl-8-aryl-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-e]-s-triazolo[34,-c]-as-triazines 7 were also prepared by the reaction of the hydrazono derivatives 8 wit thionyl chloride. On treatment of 1 with nitrous acid gave the 8H-pyrazolo[3,4-e]tetrazolo-[5,1-c]-as-triazine 9 . Compound 1 underwent ring closure with carbon disulphide or ethyl chloroformate to 1,7-dihydro-8H-pyrazolo[3,4-e]-s-triazolo[3,4-c]-as-triazine derivatives 10 and 12 . Reaction of 1 with ethyl acetoacetate or acetylacetone gave 3-pyrazolo derivatives 13 and 14 .     

Synthesis of certain pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-3-one nucleosides

Synthesis of the pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-3-one congeners of guanosine, adenosine and inosine is described. Glycosylation of 3-methoxy-6-methylthio-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-4(5H)-one ( 13 ) with 1-O-acetyl-2,3,5-tri-O-benzoyl-D-ribofuranose ( 16 ) in the presence of boron trifluoride etherate gave 3-methoxy-6-methylthio-1-(2,3,5-tri-O-benzoyl-β-D-ribofuranosyl)pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-4(5H)-one ( 17 ) which, after successive treatments with 3-chloroperoxybenzoic acid and methanolic ammonia, afforded 6-amino-3-methoxy-1-β-D-ribofuranosylpyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-4(5H)one ( 18 ). The guanosine analog, 6-amino-1-β-D-ribofuranosylpyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine-3,4(2H,5H)-dione ( 21 ), was made by sodium iodide-chlorotrimethylsilane treatment of 6-amino-3-methoxy-1-(2,3,5-tri-O-acetyl-β-D-ribofuranosyl)pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-4(5H)one ( 19 ), followed by sugar deprotection. Treatment of the adenine analog, 4-amino-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-3(2H)-one ( 11 ), according to the high temperature glycosylation procedure yielded a mixture of N-1 and N-2 ribosyl-attached isomers. Deprotection of the individual isomers afforded 4-amino-3-hydroxy-1-βribofuranosylpyrazolo-[3,4-d]pyrimidine ( 26 ) and 4-amino-2-β-D-ribofuranosylpyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-3(7H)-one ( 27 ). The structures of 26 and 27 were established by single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The inosine analog, 1-β-D-ribofuranosylpyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine-3,4(2H,5H)-dione ( 28 ), was synthesized enzymatically by direct ribosylation of 1H-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine-3,4(2H,5H)-dione ( 8 ) with ribose-1-phosphate in the presence of purine nucleoside phosphorylase, and also by deamination of 26 with adenosine deaminase.     

Action of HCl on 3-hydroxypyrazolo(iso)quinolines to give 1-chloropyrazoles: evidence for an addition–elimination mechanism by ab initio calculations in gas phase and water

 Addition–elimination reactions involving a nucleophile and a remote leaving group [S^H _N(AE)^tele] are well-known under basic conditions, especially amongst electron-poor six-membered heterocycles, but are less commonly encountered for five-membered heterocycles and are rare under acidic conditions. Concentrated HCl converts 1-hydroxy-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-c] isoquinoline and 1-hydroxy-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-c]quinoline into 3-chloro-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-c]isoquinoline and 3-chloro-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-c]quinoline, respectively. However, apparently neither the isomeric 1-hydroxy-1H-pyrazolo[4,3-c](iso)-quinolines nor the parent 1-hydroxypyrazole undergo this reaction. Additionally, all these systems are refractory under basic conditions. We present a plausible mechanism for the reaction, involving the 3-addition of Cl^- to the diprotonated heterocycle, followed by the elimination of water. Calculations of the initial transition states and intermediates, using optimisation at B3LYP/6-311+G(d,p), including thermochemistry [HF/6-31+G(d)], and single-point Poisson–Boltzmann self-consistent reaction field determination of the free energy of solvation (Jaguar Poisson–Boltzmann self-consistent reaction field), support this mechanism and reproduce the observed order of reactivity, the addition step being 2–4 kcal less favourable for the isomeric 1-hydroxy-1H-pyrazolo[4,3-c](iso)quinolines and provide a rationalisation for the role of strong acid.

Thermal decarbonylation of 1-benzyl-4,5-dibenzoyl-2,3-dihydropyrrole-2,3-dione yields benzoyl[N-benzyl(phenylglyoxalimidoyl)]ketene. The latter undergoes intramolecular cyclization to 3-benzoyl-5-phenyl-2,3,4,5-tetrahydrofuro[3,2-c]isoquinolin-2-one. Which is oxidized to 3-benzoyl-5-phenyl-2H,4H-furo[3,2-c]isoquinolin-2-one under the reaction conditions. The crystal and molecular structure of the title compound was studied by X-ray structural analysis. Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.
