Tetrahydrocyclopenta[e]pyrido[3,2-b][1,4]diazepine and -cyclopenta[e]pyrido[2,3-b][1,4]diazepine derivatives

In pursuing the study on compounds obtained by condensation of N-monoalkylated aromatic and hetero-aromatic diamines with α- and β-ketoesters, 7,8,9,10-tetrahydrocyclopenta[e]pyrido[3,2-b][1,4]diazepin-6(5H)-ones 4a, 4b and 5,7,8,10-tetrahydrocyclopenta[e]pyrido[2,3,-b][l,4]diazepin-9H)-ones 5a, 5b were prepared starting from 2,3-diaminopyridine or 2,3-diamino-5-chloropyridine and ethyl 2-oxo-cyclopentanecarboxylate. Compounds 4a,b and 5a,b suffer thermally induced ring contraction to the imidazolone derivatives 8a,b and 7a,b respectively and are unsuitable for preparing diazepinone derivatives. Thus the methylated diazepinones 15, 17 and 18 , stable on heating, were prepared. Compound 17 was transformed into the clozapine analogue 22 , through the diazepinthione 20 and its S-methyl derivative 21 .     

Synthesis of tricyclic pyrido[2,3‐b][1,4]‐thiazines via nucleophilic substitution of activated precursors

Pyrido‐anellated compounds analogous to tricyclic 1,4‐benzothiazine derivatives were synthesized. Thus, under mild reaction conditiones substitution of thiolactim 3 with different N‐nucleophiles yielded the precursors for compounds, which were cyclized in a further step to the corresponding tricyclic derivatives.     

A facile synthesis of new thieno[2,3‐b][1,4]thiazine derivatives starting from 2‐acylamino‐3,3‐dichloroacrylonitriles

Readily available 2‐acylamino‐3,3‐dichloroacrylonitriles are sequentially treated with methyl mercaptoacetate in the presence of sodium methylate and with sulfuric acid to furnish the methyl ester of 7‐amino‐2‐oxo‐3H‐thieno[2,3‐b][1,4]thiazine‐6‐carboxylic acid. Treating it first with triethyl orthoformate and then with ammonia or primary amines, the pyrimidine‐4‐one nucleus is annelated to the thienothiazine system, which is corroborated by spectroscopic methods and X‐ray diffraction analysis. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Derivatives of pyrido[2,3‐b][1,4]diazepine and of the dipyrido[1,2‐a:2′,3′‐b]imidazole heterocyclic system

With a continuing interest in heteropolycyclic systems which may show biological activities, we studied the reaction of 3‐amino‐2‐(methylamino)pyridine with diethyl 1,3‐acetonedicarboxylate in order to develop pyridodiazepinone derivatives. From the reaction mixture, we separated dipyrido[1,2‐a:2′,3′‐d]imidazole derivatives ( 3 and 4 ) besides two isomeric pyrido[2,3‐b][1,4]diazepine derivatives ( 5 and 6 ) in which the complex structural differentiation was achieved through nmr experiments and chemical evidence. Several attempts to elaborate isomers 5 and 6 have not yet given significant results.
