Synthesis of functional 2-substituted 4-phenyl-9H-pyrimido[4,5-b]indoles

A method was developed for the synthesis of 2-oxo-4-phenyl-2,3-dihydro-9H-pyrimido[4,5-b]indole as well as of 2-chloro- and 2-nitramino-4-phenylpyrimido[4,5-b]indoles. The replacement of the chlorine atom in 2-chloropyrimidoindole gave rise to a number of its functional derivatives (morpholino, azido, and cyano). The reaction of 2-chloro-substituted pyrimidoindole with hydrazine hydrate and catalytic hydrogenation of 2-nitraminopyrimidoindole were studied.     

Purines, pyrimidines, and related fused systems. 21. Oxidative amination of 3-chloro-6,8-dimethylpyrimido[4,5-c]pyridazine-5,7(6H,8H)-dione

Oxidative amination of 3-chloro-6,8-dimethylpyrimido[4,5-c]pyridazine-5,7(6H,8H)-dione with primary alkylamines and potassium amide in liquid ammonia gives rise to the corresponding 4-amino derivatives as the major products. The reactions with acyclic secondary amines are accompanied by annelation of the pyrrole moiety to the starting heterosystem to form 1-R-3-R"-6,8-dimethylpyrrolo[2",3";3,4]pyrimido[4,5-c]pyridazine-7,9(6H,8H)-diones. The reaction with piperidine as the aminating agent occurs exclusively as aminodehalogenation. The Sonogashira cross-coupling of 4-amino-3-chloro-6,8-dimethylpyrimido[4,5-c]pyridazine-5,7(6H,8H)-diones with terminal alkynes affords 1-R-2-R"-6,8-dimethylpyrrolo[3",2";3,4]pyrimido[4,5-c]pyridazine-7,9(6H,8H)-diones.

Sonogashira cross-coupling of 3-chloro-6,8-dimethylpyrimido[4,5-c]pyridazine-5,7(6H,8H)-dione with terminal alkynes afforded the corresponding 3-(alkyn-1-yl) derivatives. Oxidative amination of the latter compounds with primary alkylamines was accompanied by heterocyclization to give 6,8-dimethylpyrrolo[3",2":3,4]pyrimido[4,5-c]pyridazine-7,9(6H,8H)-diones.     

Nitropyrazoles

A method of synthesizing nitro derivatives of lH,4H-pyrazolo[4,3-c]pyrazole is developed, and some of its transformations are studied. 3-Methyl-6-nitro-, 3-carboxy(methoxy-carbonyl, carbamoyl)-6-nitro-, 3-amino-6-nitro-, 3-nitro-, 3,6-dinitro-, 1,4-diacetonyl-3,6-dinitro-, and lH,4H-3-aminopyrazolo[4,3-c]pyrazoles were obtained from 1H,4H-3 -methylpyrazolo[4,3-c]pyrazole. Unsubstituted 1H,4H-pyrazolo[4,3-c]pyrazole, the first member of this series, was obtained for the first time. The compounds prepared were characterized by¹H,¹³C,¹⁴N, and¹⁵N NMR spectroscopy. NH-Acidity and basicity of the series of pyrazolo[4,3-c]pyrazoles synthesized is studied and the effect of the fused pyrazole ring on these properties is examined.Deceased March 18, 1989.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

We have established that when 5-chloro-6-[cyano(2,3-dihydro-1-R-benzo[d]azol-2-yl)methyl]-2,3-pyrazinedicarbonitriles are reacted with nucleophilic reagents (aliphatic and aromatic amines, hydrogen sulfide), annelation of the five-membered ring occurs on the [b] face of the pyrazine with formation of 6-amino-7-hetaryl-5-R-5H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyrazine-2,3-dicarbonitriles and 6-amino-7-(1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2-yl)thieno[2,3-b]pyrazine-2,3-dicarbonitrile respectively. Further heating with excess of acylating reagent leads to formation of a novel heterocyclic system 1H-benzo[4,5]imidazo[1,2-c]pyrazino[2',3':4,5]pyrrolo[3,2-e]pyrimidine. Reaction of vicinal dinitriles with hydrazine hydrate leads to the novel system 1H-pyrrolo[2',3':5,6]pyrazino[2,3-d]pyridazine.     

Synthesis and Reactions of 1,6-Dibenzoyl-5H,10H-diimidazo[1,5-a;1',5'-d;]pyrazine-5,10-dione

Reactions of 2,5-dimethoxytetrahydrofuran with 3-aminothieno[2,3-b]pyridines afford a number of substituted 3-(1H-pyrrol-1-yl)thieno[2,3-b]pyridines. The possibility of the reaction and the yield of the product are determined by the character of a substituent in position 2 of thieno[2,3-b]pyridine. The Curtius rearrangement of 2-acylazido-3(1H-pyrrol-1-yl)thieno[2,3-b]pyridines yields 4,5-dihydropyrido[3",2":4,5]thieno[2,3-e]pyrrolo[1,2-a]pyrazin-4-ones.

Synthesis and reactions of 2,3-dimethylfuro[3,2-c]pyridines

Summary A number of substituted 2,3-dimethylfuro[3,2-c]pyridines was synthesized. 3-(4,5-Dimethyl-2-furyl)propenoic acid (1) was converted to the acid azide2, which in turn was cyclized to give 2,3-dimethyl-5H-furo[3,2-c]pyridine-4-one (3) by heating at 240°C in Dowtherm. The pyridone3 was chlorinated with phosphorus oxychloride to give4, which was reduced with zinc and acetic acid to 2,3-dimethylfuro[3,2-c]pyridine (5). Treatment of4 with several secondary heterocyclic amines led to compounds6a–6c. Reaction of pyridone3 with phosphorus pentasulfide rendered the thione7, which was methylated to8a. The 4-methoxy derivative8b was obtained from4 with sodium methoxide. 2,3,5-Trimethylfuro[3,2-c]pyridine-4-one (9) was obtained by reaction of3 with methyl iodide.Dedicated to Professor Dr.Fritz Sauter on the occasion of his 65th birthday

Substituted 2-amino-4-aryl-3-cyano-5-oxo-5,6-dihydro-4H-pyrano[2,3-d]pyrido[3",2":4,5]thieno[3,2-b]pyridines were synthesized by the reactions of 4-hydroxy-1H-thieno[2,3-b;4,5-b]dipyridin-2-ones with arylidenemalononitriles or by the three-component reactions of hydroxythienodipyridinones with aldehydes and malononitrile in DMF in the presence of triethylamine.

Condensed Isoquinolines. 17. Enamine Properties of Benzimidazo[1,2-b]isoquinolin-11(5H)-one in Alkylation Reactions

The alkylation of benzimidazo[1,2-b]isoquinolin-11(5H)-one has been studied. This occurs at N₍₅₎ or C₍₆₎ depending on the type of alkylating agent and the reaction conditions. It was shown that C₍₆₎ alkylation is effected in reactions with reactive alkyl halides. A repeat alkylation occurs preferentially at the same position. Interaction with o-xylylidene dibromide leads to spiro[benzimidazo[1,2-b]-isoquinolin-6,2'-indan]-11-one and 1,6-dihydro-11H-6a,11b-diazobenzo[b]benzo[5,6]cyclohepta[1,2,3-l,m]fluoren-11-one, which are derivatives of new heterocyclic systems.
