The prepared compounds are unstable and undergo a series of uncommon transformations; their mechanisms have been suggested basing on the structural analysis of the product mixtures.     

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.

3-Amino-1H-pyrazolo[4,3-c]pyridin-4(5H)-ones represent a potentially attractive heteroaromatic scaffold for drug-discovery chemistry. In particular, the arrangement of hydrogen bond donor and acceptor groups in the bicyclic core can fulfil the requirements for ATP competitive binding to kinase enzymes.

Libraries of skeletally diverse potential bioactive polycyclic/spirocyclic heterocyclic compounds; 2-amino-7,9-dimethyl-5-oxo-4-aryl-4,5,6,7-tetrahydropyrano[2,3-d]pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridine-3-carbonitrile, 2′-amino-7′,9′-dimethyl-2,5′-dioxo-6′,7′-dihydro-5′H-spiro[indoline-3,4′-pyrano[2,3-d]pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridine]-3′-carbonitrile, and 5,5′-(arylmethylene)bis(4-hydroxy-1,3-dimethyl-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridin-6(7H)-one) have been synthesized through a multi-component reaction using novel heterocyclic active methylene compound 4-hydroxy-1,3-dimethyl-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridine-6(7H)-one as one of the building blocks. This protocol can be considered to be an efficient and eco-friendly strategy for diversity oriented synthesis.

Synthesis of novel isoxazolines and isoxazoles of N-substituted pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-4(5H)-one derivatives through [3+2] cycloaddition

3,6-Dimethyl-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-4(5H)-one 3 was prepared by an intramolecular cyclization of N-(4-cyano-3-methyl-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazol-5-yl) acetamide 2 in ethanol in the presence of piperidine. N-allylation and N-propargyl alkylation of N-substituted pyrazolo[3,4-d] pyrimidin-4(5H)-one 3 yielded the corresponding dipolarophiles 4 and 5 which afford by condensation with arylnitrile oxides in toluene the expected new isoxazolines 6 and isoxazoles 7, respectively. On the other hand, the aminopyrazole 1 in refluxing with ethanol in the presence of sodium hydroxide afforded the corresponding carboxamide 8, which then, was converted to its ethyl 3-methyl-4-oxo-1-phenyl-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-d] pyrimidine-6-carboxylate 9 with neat diethyl oxalate. The dipolarophile 10 on regiospecific 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition with arylnitrile oxides affords isoxazoles 11 and the unexpected deethoxycarbonylated isoxazoles 12. The target compounds were completely characterized by ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, IR and HRMS.     

Convenient synthesis of novel N-(5-allyl-7,7-difluoro)-4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-2H-indazol-3-yl)-carboxymides

5-Allyl-7,7-difluoro-2-(2,4-difluorophenyl)-6-(4-methoxyphenyl)-4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-2H-pyrazolo[4,3-c]pyridine-3-amine represents a fluorinated heterocyclic scaffold, potentially attractive. It was synthesized via Michael addition, Mannich reaction of the difluorinated ethyl bromoacetate with a benzotriazole derivative, followed by a Dieckmann condensation. Starting from simple materials, this efficient route which gives access to novel functionalized N-(5-allyl-7,7-dihalo)-4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-2H-indazol-3-yl)-carboxymides, was explored and adapted for parallel synthesis, resulting in a compound library.

Condensation of arylaldehydes with 4-aminomethyl-1-phenyl-5-(1-pyrryl)pyrazole afforded the title compounds. Bischler-Napieralski intramolecular cyclization of 4-acetamidomethyl-1-phenyl-5-(1-pyrryl)pyrazole was also studied. The reaction led to 6-methyl-1-phenyl-1H,4H-pyrazolo[4,3-f]pyrrolo[1,2-a][1,4]diazepine or alternatively to 4-chloromethyl-1-phenyl-5-(1-pyrryl)pyrazole depending on the solvent used.     

Reactions with diazoazoles. Part VI. Unequivocal synthesis of 3-methyl-3h-azolotetrazoles. Correction of the formerly described 3-methylazolotetrazoles in favour of mesoionic 2-methylazolotetrazoles

3-Methyl-3H-pyrazolo[1,5-d]tetrazoles 2 and 3-methyl-6-phenyl-3H-1,2,4-triazolo[1,5-d]tetrazole (4) have been unequivocally synthesized by annulation of the tetrazole moiety to the pyrazole resp. 1,2,4-triazole system. The constitution of some N-methyl substituted azolotetrazoles, formerly described as 3-methyl-3H-pyrazolo[1,5-d]tetrazoles 2, 3-methyl-6-phenyl-3H-1,2,4-triazolo[1,5-d]tetrazole (4) and 1-methyl-6-phenyl-1H-1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-d]tetrazole (5), has to be revised in favour of the corresponding mesoionic 2-methyl derivatives 2′, 4′, 5′. The structures of 3-methyl-3H- as well as of 2-methyl-2H-pyrazolo[1,5-d]tetrazole derivatives 2a, 2c, 2′a have been determined by X-ray analyses. The azapentalenic system is aromatic in all three measured compounds and mesoionic in the case of the 2-methyl-2H- substitution pattern. The phenyl and ester substituents are coplanar with the azapentalene system. 3-, 2-, and 1-Methylpyrazolo[1,5-d]tetrazoles exhibit different behaviour when allowed to react with stannous chloride or sodium ethoxide. Azolotetrazoles with a methyl substituent at N-1, N-2 or N-3 of the tetrazole moiety can be distinguished by a combination of ¹H and ¹³C nmr with respect to the chemical shifts of the N-methyl group and the bridgehead carbon. Results of semiempirical calculations of the pyrazolo[1,5-d]tetrazole anion and of its N-methyl derivatives are discussed.     

Synthesis of β-D-ribo- and 2′-deoxy-β-D-ribofuranosyl derivatives of 6-aminopyrazolo[4,3-c]pyridin-4(5H)-one by a ring closure of pyrazole nucleoside precursors

6-Amino-1-(2-deoxy-β-D-erthro-pentofuranosyl)pyrazolo[4,3-c]pyridin-4(5H)-one ( 5 ), as well as 2-(β-D-ribofuranosyl)- and 2-(2-deoxy-β-D-ribofuranosyl)- derivatives of 6-aminopyrazolo[4,3-c]pyridin-4(5H)-one ( 18 and 22 , respectively) have been synthesized by a base-catalyzed ring closure of pyrazole nucleoside precursors. Glycosylation of the sodium salt of methyl 3(5)-cyanomethylpyrazole-4-carboxylate ( 6 ) with 1-chloro-2-deoxy-3,5-di-O-p-toluoyl-α-D-erythro-pentofuranose ( 8 ) provided the corresponding N-1 and N-2 glycosyl derivatives ( 9 and 10 , respectively). Debenzoylation of 9 and 10 with sodium methoxide gave deprotected nucleosides 14 and 16 , respectively. Further ammonolysis of 14 and 16 afforded 5(or 3)-cyanomethyl-1-(2-deoxy-β-D-erythro-pentofuranosyl)pyrazole-4-carboxamide ( 15 and 17 , respectively). Ring closure of 15 and 17 in the presence of sodium carbonate gave 5 and 22 , respectively. By contrast, glycosylation of the sodium salt of 6 with 2,3,5-tri-O-benzoyl-D-ribofuranosyl bromide ( 11 ) or the persilylated 6 with 1-O-acetyl-2,3,5-tri-O-benzoyl-β-D-ribofuranose gave mainly the N-2 glycosylated derivative 13 , which on ammonolysis and ring closure furnished 18 . Phosphorylation of 18 gave 6-amino-2-β-D-ribofuranosylpyrazolo[4,3-c]pyridin-4(5H)-one 5′-phosphate ( 19 ). The site of glycosylation and the anomeric configuration of these nucleosides have been assigned on the basis of ¹H nmr and uv spectral characteristics and by single-crystal X-ray analysis of 16 .

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 .     

The acid-mediated intramolecular 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of derived 2-nitro-1,1-ethenediamines for the synthesis of novel fused bicyclic isoxazoles

The discovery of a novel synthesis of new fused bicyclic isoxazoles, for example, N-methyl-3-phenyl-5,6-dihydro-4H-isoxazolo[3,4-c]azepin-8-amine (2a), N-methyl-3-phenyl-4,5-dihydroisoxazolo[3,4-c]pyridin-7-amine (2b) and N-methyl-3-phenyl-4H-pyrrolo[3,4-c]isoxazol-6-amine (2d) in high yield is reported. We speculate that the reaction proceeds via acid-mediated intramolecular 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition from 2-nitro-1,1-ethenediamines 1a,b,d.     

Three-Component Spiro Heterocyclization of Pyrrolediones with Indan-1,3-dione and Acyclic Enamines

Ethyl 4,5-dioxo-2-phenyl-4,5-dihydro-1H-pynole-3-carboxylates reacted with indan-1,3-dione and 3-amino-1-phenylbut-2-en-1-one or 3-aminobut-2-enenitrile to give 3-benzoyl-2-methyl-2′,5-dioxo-5′-prienyl-1,1′,2′,5-tetrahydrospiro[indeno[1,2-b]pyridine-4,3′-pyrroles] and 2-methyl-2′,5-dioxo-5′-phenyl-1,1′,2′,5-tetrahydrospiro[indeno[1,2-b]pyridine-4,3′-pyrrole]-3-carbonitriles, respectively.

     

Iodine-catalyzed synthesis of pyrazolo[4,3-f]quinoline derivatives via a highly regio-selective Povarov reaction

A highly regio-selective Povarov reaction of an aromatic aldehyde, 1H-indazol-5-amine, and methyl 3-oxobutanoate catalyzed by iodine is described. This novel reaction selectively gave 3H-pyrazolo[4,3-f]quinolin-9-yl acetates, in high yield, rather than 3H-pyrazolo[4,3-f]quinoline-8-carboxylate derivatives. This procedure has the advantages of mild reaction conditions, high yields, metal-free catalyst, and high regio-selectivity.     

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 .
