Condensed Pyridine Bases. Synthesis and Reactions of Benzofuro[2,3-c]indeno[2,1-e]-, Benzothieno[2,3-c]Indeno[2,1-e]-, Benzofuro-[3,2-c]Indeno[2,1-e]- and Thieno[2,3:4′,5′]-thieno[3,2-c]indeno[2,1-e]pyridines

Condensation of hetarene carboxaldehydes with phthalide gave 2-(3-hydroxy-1-oxoinden-2-yl)benzo[b]furan and 2-(3-hydroxy-1-oxoinden-2-yl)-5-ethylthieno[2,3-b]thiophene. Starting from hetaryl acetic acids gave 3-(3-hydroxy-1-oxoinden-2-yl)benzo[b]furan and 3-(3-hydroxy-1-oxoinden-2-yl)benzo[b]thiophene. Acylation of 3-hydroxy-1-oxoinden-2-yl-substituted heterocycles using acetic anhydride in the presence of 70% HClO₄ leads to the formation of pentacyclic pyrilium salts. Pentacyclic indenopyridines are prepared by treating the pyrilium salts with ammonia. The reaction of the carbonyl group in the indenopyridines with hydroxylamine, hydrazine hydrate, and in reduction using NaBH₄ has been studied.__________Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 3, pp. 435–443, March, 2005.     

Synthesis and properties of a novel nucleoside derivative possessing a 2,3,5,6-tetraazabenzo[cd]azulene skeleton

We describe herein the synthesis and properties of the novel nucleoside derivative, 4,7-diamino-2-(2-deoxy-β-d-erythro-pentofuranosyl)-2,6-dihydro-7H-2,3,5,6-tetraazabenzo[cd]azulene (1). The palladium catalyzed cross-coupling reaction of 2,4-diamino-5-iodo-7-(2-deoxy-β-d-erythro-pentofuranosyl)pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidine (9) with acrylonitrile afforded 2,4-diamino-5-[(E)-1-cyano-2-ethenyl]-7-(2-deoxy-β-d-erythro-pentofuranosyl)pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidine (10) in 77% yield, which was treated with NaOMe in MeOH in the presence of NaSPh to give the desired 1 in 64% yield. Whereas 1 was stable in concentrated ammonia at room temperature, it was gradually hydrolyzed in water to give 4-amino-2-(2-deoxy-β-d-erythro-pentofuranosyl)-2,6-dihydro-7H-2,3,5,6-tetraazabenzo[cd]azulen-7-one (12). Density functional calculations indicated that 12 was 20 kcal/mol more thermodynamically stable than 1 in a model study.

When 3-(a-thiocyanobenzyl-2(1H)-one is heated, competing processes of [a]-annelation of the imidazole or thiazole rings occurs with formation of imidazo[1,5-a]- and thiazolo[3,4-a]quinoxalin-4(5H)-ones.     

Studies on mechanisms of the rearrangement of thieno[3,2-e][1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-c]pyrimidines into thieno[3,2-e][1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-c]pyrimidines

Recyclization of thieno[3,2-e][1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-c]pyrimidines was studied experimentally and theoretically by B3LYP/6-31G** calculations in the gas phase and in solution (EtOH). The experimentally observed characteristic features of the isomerization (the possibility of the Dimroth rearrangement occurring by the ANRORC mechanism and high energy barriers in acid-catalyzed reactions) were confirmed by quantum chemical calculations. Substituents in the triazole ring were found to play the principal role in the rearrangement. Published in Russian in Izvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Synthesis and reactions of 2-[3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]furo[3,2-<Emphasis Type="Italic">c</Emphasis>]pyridine

(E)-3-{5-[3-(Trifluoromethyl)phenyl]furan-2-yl}propenoic acid (I) was prepared from 5-[3-(tri-fluoromethyl)phenyl]furan-2-carbaldehyde under the Doebner’s conditions. The obtained acid was converted to the corresponding azide II, which was cyclized by heating in diphenyl ether to 2-[3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-4,5-dihydrofuro[3,2-c]pyridin-4-one (III). This compound was aromatized with phosphorus oxychloride to chloroderivative IV which was reduced with H₂NNH₂-Pd/C to the title compound V. 2-[3-(Trifluoromethyl)phenyl]furo[3,2-c]pyridin-5-oxide (VI) was synthesized by reaction of V with 3-chloroperoxybenzoic acid in dichloromethane. On treatment of VI with benzoyl chloride and potassium cyanide (Reissert-Henze reaction), corresponding 2-[3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]furo[3,2-c]pyridine-1-carbonitrile (VII) resulted. 5-Amino-2-[3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]furo[3,2-c]pyridin-5-ium-4-methylbenzene sulfonate (VIII) was prepared by direct N-amination of the title compound V with 1-[(aminooxy)sulfonyl]-4-methylbenzene in dichloromethane. Then, VIII was transformed to a non-isolated zwitterionic N-imid IX which afforded the corresponding furo[3,2-c]pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyridine carboxylic acid esters X, XI by 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reactions with dimethyl but-2-ynedionate (DBD) or ethyl propiolate. The structures of all compounds were confirmed by their IR and NMR spectra.
