Synthesis and Properties of Derivatives of the new Heterocyclic System Benz[4,5]imidazo[1,2-c]pyrido[3',2';4,5]thieno[2,3-e]pyrimidine

Derivatives of a new heterocyclic system - benz[4,5]imidazo[1,2-c]pyrido[3',2';4,5]thieno[2,3-e]pyrimidine have been obtained by successive reactions in three stages - alkylation of 3-cyanopyridine-2(1H)-thiones with 2-chloromethylbenzylimidazole to give 2-benzimidazolylmethylthio-3-cyanopyridines, closing the thiophene ring in the latter to form 3-amino-2-(benzimidazolyl-2)thieno[2,3-b]pyridines, and cyclization of the pyrimidine ring by acylation with carboxylic acid anhydrides or chlorides.     

Synthesis and properties of [1,4]diazepino[6,5-b]indoles

1-Aryl-2-oxo-1,2,3,6-tetrahydro[1,4]diazepino[6,5-b]indole N-oxides were synthesized based on 3-(N"-aryl-N"-chloroacetyl)amino-2-formylindoles. Deoxidation of 2-oxo-1-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydro[1,4]diazepino[6,5-b]indole N-oxide afforded 1,2,3,6-tetrahydro- and 1,2,3,4,5,6-hexahydro[1,4]diazepino[6,5-b]indole derivatives. A new approach to the synthesis of pyrido[3,2-b]indole and pyrimido[5,4-b]indole derivatives was developed.     

Synthesis and Properties of Substituted Isoxazolo[3',4':4,5]thieno[2,3-b]pyridines

We synthesized derivatives of a novel heterocyclic system, isoxazolo[3',4':4,5]thieno[2,3-b]pyridine by sequential conversions in three steps: isomerization of 2-(2-R-ethylthio-2-oxo)-3-pyridyl cyanides obtained by alkylation from substituted 3-cyano-2(1H)-pyridinethiones by -halomethyl ketones in alkaline medium, to form 3-aminothieno[2,3-b]pyridines; diazotization of the amino group followed by nucleophilic substitution of the diazonium group by an azido group, bypassing the step of isolating the diazonium salts; and thermolysis of the azides formed.     

Synthesis of hexahydroazonino[5,6-b]indoles from hexahydroazepino[4,3-b]-and-[3,4-b]indoles and activated alkynes

A reaction of substituted hexahydroazepino[4,3-b]-and-[3,4-b]indoles with activated alkynes was studied. A one-step method for the synthesis of isomeric hexahydroazonino[5,6-b]indoles different by positions of the double bond in the azonine ring was developed.

Formylation of Furyl-substituted Imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine, Imidazo[1,2-a]pyrimidine and Imidazo[2,1-b]thiazole

Vilsmeier formylation of 2-(2-furyl)-substituted imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine and imidazo[1,2-a]pyrimidine, and also 6-(2-furyl)imidazo[2,1-b]thiazole with 1 mole of reagent occurs at the free position of the imidazole ring, while with an excess of the reagent it also occurs at the position 5 of the furyl group.     

Condensed Pyridine Bases. Synthesis and Reactions of Benzofuro[2,3-c]indeno[2,1-e]-, Benzothieno[2,3-c]Indeno[2,1-e]-, Benzofuro-[3,2-c]Indeno[2,1-e]- and Thieno[2,3:4′,5′]-thieno[3,2-c]indeno[2,1-e]pyridines

Condensation of hetarene carboxaldehydes with phthalide gave 2-(3-hydroxy-1-oxoinden-2-yl)benzo[b]furan and 2-(3-hydroxy-1-oxoinden-2-yl)-5-ethylthieno[2,3-b]thiophene. Starting from hetaryl acetic acids gave 3-(3-hydroxy-1-oxoinden-2-yl)benzo[b]furan and 3-(3-hydroxy-1-oxoinden-2-yl)benzo[b]thiophene. Acylation of 3-hydroxy-1-oxoinden-2-yl-substituted heterocycles using acetic anhydride in the presence of 70% HClO₄ leads to the formation of pentacyclic pyrilium salts. Pentacyclic indenopyridines are prepared by treating the pyrilium salts with ammonia. The reaction of the carbonyl group in the indenopyridines with hydroxylamine, hydrazine hydrate, and in reduction using NaBH₄ has been studied.__________Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 3, pp. 435–443, March, 2005.     

Derivatives of condensed thieno[2,3-d]-pyrimidines. 20. Synthesis of 2-substituted 5,6-dihydro-8H-pyrano[4′,3′:4,5]thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4(3H)-ones and 5,6,7,8-tetrahydrobenzo-[b]thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4-ones

We have developed a method for obtaining 2-substituted 3-amino-6,6-dimethyl-5,6-dihydro-8H-pyrano[4′,3′:4,5]-and 5,6,7,8-tetrahydrobenzo[b]thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4(3H)-ones, converted by deamination to the corresponding dihydropyranothieno-3H-pyrimidinones. __________ Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 3, pp. 441–444, March, 2006.     

Reactions of 1-Substituted Benzo[4,5]imidazo[1,2-a]pyridines

Bromination of 1-oxo(imino, amino)benzo[4,5]imidazo[1,2-a]pyridines gave the corresponding 2-bromo derivatives. Acylation using the Vilsmeier complex in acetic anhydride gave the N-formyl and N-acetyl derivatives. The reaction of the amine with the Vilsmeier complex, acetyl acetone, ethyl acetoacetate, and 2,5-dimethoxytetrahydrofuran occurs at the amino group.     

Studies on mechanisms of the rearrangement of thieno[3,2-e][1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-c]pyrimidines into thieno[3,2-e][1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-c]pyrimidines

Recyclization of thieno[3,2-e][1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-c]pyrimidines was studied experimentally and theoretically by B3LYP/6-31G** calculations in the gas phase and in solution (EtOH). The experimentally observed characteristic features of the isomerization (the possibility of the Dimroth rearrangement occurring by the ANRORC mechanism and high energy barriers in acid-catalyzed reactions) were confirmed by quantum chemical calculations. Substituents in the triazole ring were found to play the principal role in the rearrangement. Published in Russian in Izvestiya Akademii Nauk.
