Subsequent reactions of 2‐aryl‐2H‐1,2,4‐triazol‐3(4H )‐one gave triazolo[3,4‐b ][1,3,4]thiadiazoles and triazolo[3,4‐b ][1,3,4]thiadiazines derivatives incorporated with 1,2,4‐triazol‐3‐one.

Isomeric 3‐Isoxadiazolylcoumarins and Their Derivatives

Here, we represent preparative methods of synthesis of isomeric 3‐isoxadiazolylcoumarins and their derivatives. Two new synthetic methods have been developed for 3‐[1,2,4‐oxadiazol‐5‐yl]coumarins I . The first method is based on a three‐component condensation of coumarin‐;3‐carboxylic acids, 1,1′‐carbonyldiimidazole, and amidoximes. The second method essentially uses the interaction of 5‐cyanomethyl‐1,2,4‐oxadiazoles with salicylic aldehydes. General approach for preparation of 3‐[1,2,4‐oxadiazol‐3‐yl]coumarins II has been worked out. Moreover, aforementioned synthetic ways open the way for the synthesis of 2‐iminoderivatives III and IV not described before, those were diversified by reaction of nucleophilic substitution of 2‐imino group with a numerous amino compounds.

Thermal transformation of arylamidoximes in the presence of phosphorus ylides. Unexpected formation of 3‐aryl‐5‐arylamino‐1,2,4‐oxadiazoles

The unexpected formation of 3‐aryl‐5‐arylamino‐1,2,4‐oxadiazoles took place, when arylamidoximes reacted thermally with ethoxycarbonylmethylene(triphenyl)phosphorane. Furoxans, nitriles, ureas were also isolated suggesting aryl cyanide oxides as intermediates. 3‐Aryl‐5‐arylamino‐1,2,4‐oxadiazoles were formed via an aryl migration from the carbon atom to the nitrogen atom of the amidoxime, and the structure was further proved from the X‐ray crystal structure of the N‐(4‐bromobenzoyl) derivative.     

The Synthesis of 3‐Amino‐pyrazine‐2‐carbohydrazide and 3‐Amino‐N′‐methylpyrazine‐2‐carbohydrazide Derivatives

In research of new biologically active compounds, the reactions of amino‐pyrazin‐2‐hydrazide and methylhydrazide with isothiocyanates, aromatic aldehydes, ketones, CS₂, and formic acid were made. New thiosemicarbazides, 1,3,4‐thiadiazoles, 1,3,4‐oxadiazoles, and 1,2,4‐triazoles were obtained. New 4‐oxopteridine derivative 26 was also synthesized.     

Immobilization of Styrene‐Substituted 1,3,4‐Oxadiazoles into Thermoreversible Luminescent Organogels and Their Unexpected Photocatalyzed Rearrangement

A series of styrene‐substituted 1,3,4‐oxadiazoles has been designed and investigated as new low‐molecular‐weight organogelators. The photophysical properties of the resulting thermoreversible organogels have been characterized by UV/Vis absorption and luminescence spectroscopies. Surprisingly, the gelation ability of the oxadiazoles depended on the presence of the styrene moiety as gelation of the investigated oxadiazoles did not take place in its absence. Gel formation was accompanied by a modification of the fluorescence of the organogelators in the supramolecular state. UV irradiation of the gels caused a rearrangement of the immobilized 1,3,4‐oxadiazoles bearing a styrene moiety by a tandem [4+2] and [3+2] cascade reaction. Structure modification and color change of the gels were also evident upon irradiation.     

Basicity of Phenyl‐ and Methyl‐Substituted 1,2,4‐Oxadiazoles

The basicity of a series of 3,5‐disubstituted 1,2,4‐oxadiazoles in aqueous H₂SO₄ was examined by means of UV and ¹H‐NMR spectroscopy. The experimental data were analyzed by the modified Yates–McClelland method to yield the following pK values: 3,5‐dimethyl‐1,2,4‐oxadiazole, −1.66±0.06; 3‐methyl‐5‐phenyl‐1,2,4‐oxadiazole, −2.61±0.02; 3‐phenyl‐5‐methyl‐1,2,4‐oxadiazole, −2.95±0.01; 3,5‐diphenyl‐1,2,4‐oxadiazole, −3.55±0.06. A pK value of ca. −3.7 was estimated for the parent unsubstituted 1,2,4‐oxadiazole based on substituents' additivity increments. Possible protonation sites of the compounds were discussed in terms of both experimental data and theoretical calculations (HF/6‐31G**). Generally, protonation is most likely to occur at N(4) of the 1,2,4‐oxadiazole ring. However, concurrent formation of both N(4)‐ and N(2)‐protonated species in comparable amounts is possible in the case of 3‐phenyl‐1,2,4‐oxadiazoles.

Compound 1 on condensation with α‐haloketones gives 2‐(o‐nitrobenzoyl)hydrazino‐4‐arylthiazole hydrobromide 5 , which, on cyclization with POCl₃, affords thiazolo[3,2‐b]‐[1,2,4]‐triazoles 6 and not the isomeric thiazolo[3,2‐b]‐[1,2,4]‐triazoles 4 . This has been established by an unequivocal synthesis of 4 through polyphosphoric acid cyclization of 5‐aroylmethylmercapto‐3‐o‐nitrophenyl‐[1,2,4]‐triazole 3 . Compound 3 was synthesized by condensation of α‐haloketones with 5‐mercapto‐3‐(o‐nitrophenyl)‐[1,2,4]‐triazole 2 , obtained cyclization of 2‐(o‐nitrobenzoyl)hydrazinecarbothioamide 1 with NaOH.

The novel and versatile cyanomethyl 2‐amino‐4‐methylthiazolyl ketone (5) was prepared by treatment of bromomethyl 2‐amino‐4‐methyl thiazolyl ketone (4) with potassium cyanide. Reaction of 5 with heterocyclic diazonium salts 6a,b and 10 afforded the corresponding hydrazones 7a,b and 11, respectively. Refluxing of the hydrazones in pyridine afforded the corresponding pyrazolo[5,1‐c]‐1,2,4‐triazine, 1,2,4‐triazolo[5,1‐c]‐1,2,4‐triazine, and 1,2,4‐triazolo[4,3‐a]benzimidazole derivatives 8a,b and 12, respectively, via intramolecular cyclization. Compound 5 coupled also with benzenediazonium chloride to afford the corresponding hydrazone 14, which is an excellent precursor for the synthesis of pyridazine‐6‐imine 17a and pyridazinone 17b. The pyridazine derivatives 17a,b were also prepared by an independent route, that is, the condensation with malononitriles and coupling with benzenediazonium chloride, followed by intramolecular cyclization. © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Studies on the Reaction of α‐Chloroformylarylhydrazine Hydrochloride with Imidazole and 1,2,4‐Triazole

α‐Imidazolformylarylhydrazine 2 and α‐[1,2,4]triazolformylarylhydrazine 3 have been synthesized through the nucleophilic substitution reaction of 1 with imidazole and 1,2,4‐triazole, respectively. 2,2′‐Diaryl‐2H,2′H‐[4,4′]bi[[1,2,4]‐triazolyl]‐3,3′‐dione 4 was obtained from the cycloaddition of α‐chloroformylarylhydrazine hydrochloride 1 with 1,2,4‐triazole at 60 °C and in absence of n‐Bu₃N. The inducing factor for cycloaddition of 1 with 1,2,4‐triazole was ascertained as hydrogen ion by the formation of 4 from the reaction of 3 with hydrochloric acid. 4 was also acquired from the reaction of 3 with 1 and this could confirm the reaction route for cycloaddition of 1 with 1,2,4‐triazole. Some acylation reagents were applied to induce the cyclization reaction of 2 and 3.1 possessing chloroformyl group could induce the cyclization of 2 to give 2‐aryl‐4‐(2‐aryl‐4‐vinyl‐semicarbazide‐4‐yl)‐2,4‐dihydro‐[1,2,4]‐triazol‐3‐one 6. 7 was obtained from the cyclization of 2 induced by some acyl chlorides. Acetic acid anhydride like acetyl chloride also could react with 2 to produce 7D . 5‐Substituted‐3‐aryl‐3H‐[1,3,4]oxadiazol‐2‐one 8 was produced from the cyclization reaction of 3 induced by some acyl chlorides or acetic acid anhydride. The 1,2,4‐triazole group of 3 played a role as a leaving group in the course of cyclization reaction. This was confirmed by the same product 8 which was acquired from the reaction of 1 , possessing a better leaving group: Cl, with some acyl chlorides or acetic acid anhydride.

Also, spiro[indoline‐thiozolidine]‐2,4′‐diones has been syhthesized in a similar way from 3‐phenyl‐spiro[3H‐indoline‐3,2′‐thiozolidine]‐2,4′‐(1 H)dione monohydrazide and (un)substituted benzaldehydes.
