The reactions of benzene-1,2-diamine with 5-substituted 2-(alkylsulfanyl)-4-methylpyrimidin-6(1H)-ones and 2-(propylsulfanyl)- and 5-iodo-2-(propylsulfanyl)-3,4-dihydroquinazolines at 175–185°C under solvent-free conditions unexpectedly afforded benzo[4,5]imidazo[1,2-a]pyrimidine, benzo[4,5]imidazo[2,1-b]-quinazoline, and 2,2′-(benzene-1,2-diyldiimino)bis[pyrimidin-4(3H)-ones]. The described reaction is the first example of synthesis of these heterocyclic systems by fusion of benzimidazole to pyrimidine or quinazoline and is likely to follow ANRORC mechanism.     

Synthesis of azepino[1,2-<Emphasis Type="Italic">a</Emphasis>]benzimidazoles and imidazo[1,2-<Emphasis Type="Italic">a</Emphasis>]azepines

Fusion of 4-bromo-1,3-diphenyl-2-buten-1-ones (γ-bromodypnones) with 1,2-dimethyl-1H-benzimidazole and further treatment of the reaction product with a base (morpholine) gives 7,9-diaryl-5-methyl5,10-dihydroazepino[1,2-a]benzimidazol-11-ium bromides. The reaction of γ-bromodypnone with 1-alkyl-2-methyl-1H-imidazoles in benzene at 25 °C gives quaternary azolium salts. Upon heating their solutions in alcohol in the presence of K₂CO₃ the latter cyclize to 1-R-6,8-diaryl-1,5-dihydroimidazo[1,2-a]azepin-4-ium bromides or 1-R-6,8-diaryl-1H-imidazo[1,2-a]azepines depending on the nature of the substituent in the benzene rings and the substituent at the N(1) atom of the imidazole.

4-(2-Aminothiazol-4-yl)-3-methyl-5-oxo-1-phenyl-2-pyrazoline was synthesized via the reaction of 4-bromoacetyl-3-methyl-5-oxo-1-phenyl-2-pyrazoline with thiourea [7] and was transformed to related fused heterocyclic systems. The antifungal and antibacterial studies revealed in some cases excellent biocidal properties. Correspondence: Mohamed Salah K.

Thionation of 1,2,3,9a-tetrahydro-9H-imidazo[1,2-a]indol-2-one derivative with Lawessons reagent in boiling toluene afforded 1,2,3,9a-tetrahydro-9H-imidazo[1,2-a]indole-2-thione derivative. Alkylation of the latter with ethyl iodide in DMF in the presence of a strong base gave 2-ethylthio-9,9,9a-trimethyl-9,9a-dihydro-3H-imidazo[1,2-a]indole. 1,5,6,10b-Tetrahydroimidazo[2,1-a]isoquinoline-2(3H)-thiones were synthesized by thionation of the corresponding carbonyl substrates.Published in Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No 11, pp. 1695–1700, November, 2004.

New Synthesis of Pyrano[4,3-<Emphasis Type="Italic">d</Emphasis>]pyrazolo[3,4-<Emphasis Type="Italic">b</Emphasis>]pyridines

A new efficient method has been developed for the synthesis of highly biologically active pyrano-[4,3-d]pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridines on the basis of Smiles rearrangement of ethyl [(8-alkyl(aryl)-5-cyano-3,3-dimethyl-3,4-dihydro-1H-pyrano[3,4-c]pyridin-6-yl)oxy]acetates. Intermediate acetohydrazides have also been isolated. The proposed procedure is advantageous due to the possibility of avoiding experimentally difficult chlorination stage.     

Pyrazoles and Pyrazolo[4,3-<Emphasis Type="Italic">e</Emphasis>]pyrrolo[1,2-<Emphasis Type="Italic">a</Emphasis>]pyrazines,I. Synthesis and Antimicrobial Activity

Summary. The synthesis of the title compounds was achieved using 1-phenyl-5-(pyrrol-1-yl)-1H-pyrazole-3-carboxylic acid azide as starting material. The latter compound was allowed to react with alcohols and amines to afford the corresponding carbamates and urea derivatives. Alkaline hydrolysis of the carbamates gave the corresponding amine, which was acylated and/or aroylated to give amide derivatives. These and the urea derivatives were subjected to cyclodehydration to give the title compounds. Antibacterial and antifungal activities were observed for several derivatives.
