The hitherto unknown 3-amino-5-bromo-4, 6-dimethylthieno [2, 3-b] pyridine-2-carbonitrile ( 4 ) was condensed with p-anisaldehyde affording the Schiff base ( 5 ). Acylation of the thienopyridine derivative ( 4 ) using freshly distilled acetic anhydride gave a mixture of mono and diacetyl derivatives ( 6 ) and ( 7 ). Condensation of ( 4 ) with triethylorthoformate yielded the ethoxymethyleneamino derivative ( 8 ), which was treated with hydrazine hydrate to give the hydrazide derivative ( 9 ), which in turn was converted to a triazolopyrimidine derivative ( 10 ) upon treatment with freshly distilled acetic anhydride. Thiation of ( 4 ) with carbon disulfide afforded the pyrimidine dithione derivative ( 11 ), which was alkylated with ethyl iodide to give the di-s-ethylpyrimidine derivative ( 12 ).On the other hand, treatment of ( 4 ) with formamide yielded the aminopyrimidine derivative ( 13 ), whereas its treatment by formic acid produced the thienopyrimidinone derivative (1 4 ). Chlorination of (1 4 ) with a mixture of phosphorus pentachloride and phosphorus oxychloride gave the chloropyrimidine derivative ( 15 ), which in turn afforded the hydrazide derivative ( 9 ) upon treatment with hydrazine hydrate. Hydrazinolysis of ethyl-3-amino-5-bromo-4,6-dimethylthieno[2,3-b]pyridine-2-carboxylate ( 17 ) gave the hydrazino derivative ( 18 ), which in turn was converted to 8-bromo-7,9-dimethyl-3-formylaminopyrido[3′,2′:4,5]thieno[3,2-d]pyrimidin-4(3H)-one ( 19 ) and 8-bromo-3-diacetylamino-2,7,9-trimethylpyrido[3′,2′:4,5]thieno[3,2-d]pyrimidin-4(3H)-one ( 20 ) upon treatment with formic acid and freshly distilled acetic anhydride, respectively.

In a basic medium, the product was 1,2,4-triazole-3-thione derivative 9. The reaction of 3 with phenyl isothiocyanate provided thiosemicarbazide derivative 10, which underwent cyclodehydration in a basic medium and gave the 1,2,4-triazole derivative 11. The reaction of 3 with formic acid yielded the 3-carboxyl-2′-(formyl)hydrazine derivative 12. The refluxing of the latter with phosphorus pentasulfide in xylene yielded compound 14 (65%). The reaction of compound 12 with phosphorus pentoxide afforded compound 15. Some representative examples were screened for antimicrobial activity.

Abstract

The synthesis of a cellobiouronic thioglycoside donor 12, protected with a selectively removable 3′-O-benzyl group is described. The donor 12 is suitable as a monomer building block in the construction of oligomer structures corresponding to the capsular polysaccharide of Streptococcus pneumoniae type 3. The carboxyl function was introduced through regioselective TEMPO-oxidation of a 4′,6′-diol cellobiose derivative. If the oxidation was performed on a 2,3,2′,3′,4′,6′-hexaol derivative, oxidation also of the secondary 2- and 3-hydroxyl groups was observed to give a tricarboxyl derivative as one of the major products. The thioglycoside was formed by acidic mercaptolysis of a 1,6-anhydro bridge. The donor 12 was transformed into a suitable starting monomer acceptor through glycosylation with a spacer alcohol and subsequent debenzylation.
