Synthesis of substituted [1,3]thiazolo[4,5-b]pyridines and [1,3]thiazolo[4,5-d][1,2,3]triazines

In this work, we described an easy preparation of substituted 4-amino-5-cyano-1,3-thiazoles. These compounds have been used as starting materials to obtain two classes of compounds. New substituted [1,3]thiazolo[4,5-e]pyridines were synthesized in one step via Friedländer reaction. Diazotation of 4-amino-5-cyano-1,3-thiazoles afforded 4-chloro[1,3]thiazolo[4,5-d][1,2,3]triazines in one step. The later was substituted by a secondary amine to obtain substituted 4-amino[1,3]thiazolo[4,5-d][1,2,3]triazines.     

Novel synthesis of C-3-(hetero)aryl [1,2,3]triazolo[1,5-a]pyridines using the Stille reaction

Herein, we report a novel and high yielding approach for the preparation of the first C-3-organometallic substituted [1,2,3]triazolo[1,5-a]pyridine and its application to the Stille reaction using MAOS.     

Versatile, convenient synthesis of pyrimido[1,2,3-cd]purinediones

The alkylation of 3-substituted cycloalkylcarboxamido-6-aminouracil derivatives with 3-bromo-1-propanol followed by ring closure yields 1,3,8-trisubstituted xanthine derivatives bearing a polar hydroxyl group. Use of the more reactive 1,3-dibromopropane or homologous dibromoalkanes for the alkylation reaction results in simultaneous alkylation at N1 and the exocyclic amino group (N⁶) yielding imidazo-, pyrimido- and diazepino-pyrimidine derivatives. The pyrimidopyrimidine derivatives can subsequently be cyclised using hexamethyldisilazane at high temperature affording an easy, convenient and general access to tricyclic pyrimido[1,2,3-cd]purinediones. Alternatively, 3-substituted 6-amino-5-benzylideneaminouracil derivatives can be reacted with 1,3-dibromopropane followed by an oxidative cyclisation using thionyl chloride to obtain the desired tricyclic pyrimido[1,2,3-cd]purinediones, which are sterically fixed analogues of pharmacologically active purine derivatives.     

New cascade reaction of azides with malononitrile dimer to polyfunctional [1,2,3]triazolo[4,5-b]pyridine

A new cascade reaction of azides with malononitrile dimer yielding polyfunctional [1,2,3]triazolo[4,5-b]pyridine was found. It was established that during the reaction of aryl azides with malononitrile dimer, under base catalysis, the formed intermediate triazole underwent spontaneous cyclization leading to the pyridine ring annulation. The obtained products have provided a new entry to [1,2,3]triazolo[4,5-b]pyridine.     

A new synthetic method for the 2H-[1,2,3]thiadiazolo[5,4-b]indoles

The systematic study of oxidative cyclization of 3-hydrazono-1,3-dihydroindole-2-thiones has been carried out and a series of new 2H-[1,2,3]thiadiazolo[5,4-b]indoles has been prepared. The elaborated reaction represents an efficient method for the synthesis of fused 1,2,3-thiadiazoles.     

Efficient synthesis of [1,2,3]triazolo[5,1-c][1,4]benzoxazines through palladium-copper catalysis

A wide variety of [1,2,3]triazolo[5,1-c][1,4]benzoxazines were synthesized through palladium-copper catalyzed reactions of 1-azido-2-(prop-2-ynyloxy)benzene with aryl/vinyl iodides. A plausible reaction mechanism has also been proposed.     

3,5-Disubstituted 6H-pyrrolo[1,2-c][1,2,3]triazoles from Morita-Baylis-Hillman adducts of propargyl aldehydes

A simple method for synthesizing several 6H-pyrrolo[1,2-c][1,2,3]triazole derivatives having a methoxycarbonyl or an acetyl group at C-5 position and 7,8-dihydro-4H-[1,2,3]triazolo[1,5-a]indol-5(6H)-ones via an intramolecular 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction of azido enynes, which were readily obtained from the Morita-Baylis-Hillman acetates of propargyl aldehydes with sodium azide, has been developed.     

Gas-phase thermolysis of 1-acylnaphtho[1,8-de][1,2,3]triazines. Interesting direct routes towards condensed naphtho[1,8-de]heterocyclic ring systems

FVP pyrolysis of 1-acylnaphtho[1,8-de][1,2,3]triazines at 500 °C and 10⁻² Torr gave exclusively the corresponding 2-substituted naphtho[1,8-de][1,3]oxazines. The latter was also obtained by static pyrolysis but in lower yield along with the corresponding N-(naphthalen-1-yl)acylamides. The reaction was studied kinetically and mechanistically.     

Synthesis of ethyl 4,5-disubstituted 2-azido-3-thiophenecarboxylates and use in the synthesis of thieno[3,2-e][1,2,3]triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidin-5(4H)-ones

New heterocyclic azides, ethyl 2-azido-4-R¹-5-R²-3-thiophenecarboxylates, were synthesized by diazotization of 2-aminothiophenes and subsequent treatment with sodium azide. The reactions of these heterocyclic azides with β-ketoesters and activated acetonitriles were studied. The derivatives of thieno[3,2-e][1,2,3]triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine, a new ring system, were prepared in high yields via an anionic hetero-domino reaction.     

Synthesis of 3,5-difunctionalized 1-methyl-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridines involving palladium-mediated coupling reactions

Indirect iodination of 2-chloro-nicotinonitrile gave 2-chloro-5-iodonicotinonitrile, which was cyclized with methylhydrazine to lead to 3-amino-5-iodopyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridine. Position 3 was then protected by pivaloyl group and the resulting 5-iodo-3-pivaloylaminopyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridine was engaged in palladium-promoted coupling reactions with various reagents to give 3-pivaloylamino-5-substituted compounds. Deprotection and iododediazoniation followed by cross-coupling reactions in position 3 afforded novel unsymmetrical 3,5-disubstituted pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridine species.     

Pyrolytic desulfurization ring contraction of condensed thiadiazines as a general route towards pyrazoloazines and pyrazoloazoles with a bridgehead (ring junction) nitrogen atom

Pyrolytic conversion of [1,2,4]triazino[3,4-b][1,3,4]thiadiazin-4-ones, [1,3,4]thiadiazino[2,3-b]quinazolin-10-ones and [1,2,4]triazolo[3,4-b][1,3,4]thiadiazines into their corresponding pyrazolo[5,1-c][1,2,4]triazin-4-ones, pyrazolo[4,3-b]quinazolin-9-ones and pyrazolo[5,1-b][1,2,4]triazoles via desulfurization ring contraction is described. The starting condensed 1,3,4-thiadiazines were prepared from the corresponding readily available 4-amino-3-thioxo-1,2,4-triazin-5(4H)-ones, 3-amino-2,3-dihydro-2-thioxoquinazolin-4(1H)-one and 4-amino-3(2H)-thioxo-1,2,4-triazoles upon reaction with the appropriate α-haloketones in two steps, or directly in one step in ethylpyridinium tetrafluoroborate (ionic liquid, IL).     

Substituted chromones in [3+2] cycloadditions with nonstabilized azomethine ylides: synthesis of 1-benzopyrano[2,3-c]pyrrolidines and 1-benzopyrano[2,3-c:3,4-c′]dipyrrolidines

Chromones bearing electron-withdrawing substituents at the 2- or 3-position react with nonstabilized azomethine ylides to produce 1-benzopyrano[2,3-c]pyrrolidines in good yields. Reactions of 3-cyanochromones proceed diastereoselectively to give 1-benzopyrano[2,3-c]pyrrolidines and tetrahydro-1H-spiro[chromeno[2,3-c]pyrrol-9,5′-oxazolidine]-9a-carbonitriles, depending on the reactant ratio, as a result of a 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of the azomethine ylide at the double bond and carbonyl group of the chromone system. The latter undergoes demethylenation and recyclization into a novel hexahydrochromeno[2,3-c:3,4-c′]dipyrrole tetracyclic system on heating with hydrochloric acid.     

Synthesis of 6-mono- and 5,6-disubstituted 1,2,3-triazolo[4,5-d]pyrimidin-7-ones

The reactions of N-substituted 4-amino-3-benzyl-1,2,3-triazole-5-carboxamides with phosphorus oxochloride and dimethylformamide at 80 °C or with triethyl orthoacetate and acetic anhydride at 160 °C afforded 6-mono- or 5,6-disubstituted 1,2,3-triazolo[4.5-d]pyrimidin-7-ones in 30—85% and 65—90% yields, respectively.     

Synthesis of [1,2,3]Triazolo[5,1-a]isoquinoline Derivatives via a Selective Cascade Cyclization Sequence of 1,2-bis(Phenylethynyl)benzene Derivatives

A direct, concise, synthetic method for the generation of [1,2,3]triazolo[5,1-a]isoquinoline derivatives, using a selective cascade cyclization of unsymmetrical substituted 1,2-bis(phenylethynyl)benzene derivatives with NaN₃, has been developed. The reaction gave different substituted [1,2,3]triazolo[5,1-a]isoquinolines in moderate to good yields. It was found that the substituents on the alkynes were important for the selectivities of the cascade cyclization sequences.     

Synthesis and functionalisation of 1H-pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridines involving copper and palladium-promoted coupling reactions

A convenient route to novel 3-iodo-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridines via iododediazonation of 3-amino-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridines, which are obtained by copper-catalysed cyclisation of 2-chloro-3-cyanopyridine with hydrazines. We describe also efficient coupling reactions from 3-iodo derivatives with various reagents according to Suzuki, Heck, Stille, and Sonogashira conditions.     

3-Cyanochromones in [3+2] cycloadditions with an azomethine ylide derived from sarcosine and formaldehyde. A short synthesis of 1-benzopyrano[2,3-c:3,4-c′]dipyrrolidines

Reactions of 3-cyanochromones with sarcosine and paraformaldehyde proceed diastereoselectively to give 1-benzopyrano[2,3-c]pyrrolidines and tetrahydro-1H-spiro[chromeno[2,3-c]pyrrol-9,5′-oxazolidine]-9a-carbonitriles, depending on the reactant ratio, as a result of a 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of the intermediate nonstabilized azomethine ylide at the double bond and carbonyl group of the chromone system. The latter undergoes demethylenation and recyclization into a novel hexahydrochromeno[2,3-c:3,4-c′]dipyrrole tetracyclic system on heating with hydrochloric acid.     

Partially hydrogenated 2-amino[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidines as synthons for the preparation of polycondensed heterocycles: reaction with chlorocarboxylic acid chlorides

Partially hydrogenated 2-amino[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidines and 2-amino[1,2,4]triazolo[5,1-b]quinazolines react with the chlorides of chloroacetic, 3-chloropropanoic, and 4-chlorobutanoic acids at 0–5 °C to give amides through acylation of the 2-amino group. Heating the corresponding 3-chloropropanoyl derivatives at 80–90 °C in DMF leads to selective intramolecular alkylation at N-3 to form the chlorides of partially hydrogenated [1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a:4,3-a′]dipyrimidin-5-ones and pyrimido[2′,1′:3,4][1,2,4]triazolo[5,1-b]quinazolin-12-ones. It may be more convenient to prepare such compounds through one-pot processes. Some reactions of the synthesized chlorides of polycondensed heterocycles have been studied. Conditions have been found to effect the selective synthesis of free bases, oxidative aromatization or hydrolysis of the dihydropyrimidine cycle, and the selective hydrolytic cleavage or elimination of the pyrimidone ring. Some of the resulting compounds represent new mesoionic heterocycles.     

2-Oxobenzo[h]chromene: a novel entry for the concise and efficient synthesis of indeno[1,2-c]phenanthrenes

An efficient and concise synthesis of 7-sec-amino-5,13-dihydro-6H-indeno[1,2-c]phenanthrene-8-carbonitriles is described through base catalyzed ring transformation of 4-sec-amino-2-oxo-5,6-dihydro-2H-benzo[h]chromene-3-carbonitriles with 1-indanone in moderate to good yields.     

A strategy for the synthesis of 2-aryl-3-dimethylaminopyrazolo-[3,4-c]pyridines that utilizes [4+1] cycloaddition reactions of 5-arylazo-2,3,6-trisubstituted pyridines

In order to explore the viability and generality of a recently uncovered [4+1] cycloaddition based strategy for the preparation of pyrazolo[3,4-c]pyridine derivatives, members of a series of 5-arylazo-2,3,6-trisubstituted pyridines were prepared by reactions of 3-oxo-2-arylhydrazonopropanals with 3-oxo-3-phenylpropionitrile. The results show that 3-oxo-3-phenylpropionitrile reacts with hydrazone substrates, which do not contain electron-withdrawing substituents on the N-aryl ring of the arylhydrazone moieties, to efficiently produce 6-aryl-2-phenyl-5-arylazonicotinonitriles. In contrast, 2-amino-6-aryl-5-arylazo-3-benzoylpyridines are generated in reactions of 3-oxo-2-arylhydrazonopropanals, which contain electron-withdrawing substituents on the N-aryl moiety. In the forecasted manner, the 6-aryl-2-phenyl-5-arylazonicotinonitriles undergo smooth reactions with dimethylformamide dimethylacetal (DMF-DMA) that led to formation of a new class of 2-aryl-3-dimethylaminopyrazolo[3,4-c]pyridines. The mechanism for this process involves a [4+1] cycloaddition reaction that takes place through initial nucleophilic addition of dimethylamino)methoxycarbene, generated from DMF-DMA, to the azadiene moiety of the arylazopyridines followed by cyclization of the formed zwitterionic intermediate.     

Synthesis of new pyrazolo[4,3-e]-1,2,4-triazolo[1,5-c]pyrimidines and related heterocycles

The reaction between 5-amino-4-imino-1(2)-substituted-1(2)H-4,5-dihydropyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidines and several commercially available reactants afforded new heterocycles with a conserved pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine nucleus. The key intermediates employed proved to be suitable compounds by virtue of their two vicinal amino and imino groups that were used to obtain five, six and seven-membered rings.
