Amination of 4-nitro- and 4-cyanopyridazines by liquid ammonia/potassium permanganate

4-Nitro-3- R ¹-6- R ²-pyridazines ( 1 ) ( a, R ¹ = R ² = 2-pyridyl; b, R ¹ = H, R ² = phenyl; e, R ¹ = H, R ² = p-methoxyphenyl; d, R ¹ = R ² = H ) are aminated by liquid ammonia/potassium permanganate to the corresponding 5-amino-4-nitropyridazines 3a-d. The 4-cyano-3-R¹-6-R²-pyridazines 4a,b are only aminated in the presence of potassium amide in liquid ammonia/potassium permanganate to give the 5-amino-4-cyanopyridazines 6a,b. The 5-amino-4-nitropyridazines 3a,b,d are converted to the 4,5-diaminopyridazines 7a,b,d by reduction over a Pd/C catalyst. Reaction of 7b with glyoxal leads to 5-phenylpyrazino[2,3-d]pyridazine ( 8b ).

Heating the latter compounds ( 4a-d) with acetic anhydride furnished the oxazinone derivatives 5a-d which, in turn, underwent recyclization reaction to give the corresponding pyrimidinones 6a-d upon treatment with ammonium acetate in acetic acid. Reaction of 3-amino-4-aryl-cycloalka[e]thieno[2,3-b]pyridine-2-carboxamides ( 3f,h ) with triethyl orthoformate gave pyrimidinone derivatives 7a,b . Reaction of 3-amino-4-phenyl-cycloalka[e]thieno[2,3-b]pyridine-2-carboxamides 3e,h with aromatic aldehydes furnished tetrahydropyridothienopyrimidinones 8a-d .

An analogous series starting with 3-N-(6-amino-2-pyridyl)amino-2-cyano-2-butenenitrile ( 5b ) in place of 5a gave in two steps 5-methyl-13-oxo-13-H-4,7,13a,13c-tetraazabenzo[hi]chrysene-6-carbonitrile ( 8b ). Elemental analysis, ir and pmr spectra of 8a , 8b and several new model compounds aided in confirming the structures of 8a and 8b. The synthesis of one of these model compounds for 5b and phenylacetic anhydride led surprisingly to 2-methyl-9-phenyl-7H-3,7,-10,10b-tetraazacyclohepta[de]naphthalene ( 10 ) in addition to the expected 2-benzyl-4-cyano-5-methyl-1,3,-6,9b-tetraazaphenalene ( 7b ).

Treatment of 3 with hot 80% sulfuric acid yielded 4,7-dimethyl-56-hydroxy-2(1H)quinolone. With concentrated aqueous sodium hydroxide, 3 gave 5-amino-3,6-dicyano-4,7-dimethyl-2(1H)quinolone and 5-amino-6-carbamoyl-3-cyano-4,7-dimethyl-2(1H)quinolone. The reaction of 3 with hydrochloric in acetic acid gave a mixture of 6-amino-3,7-dicyano-2,8-dimethyl-4-quinolizone and 3-cyano-4-methyl-6-(3,3-dicyano-2-methylallyl)-2-pyrone.

The reduction of compounds 3 , performed with hydrogen over Pd/C at room temperature and 1 atmosphere, leads to a mixture of 2-amino-4-tetrahydroquinolinylidene-2-pentenedioic acid derivatives 5a-d as the main products, the corresponding 3-butenoic acid derivatives 6 and a minor amount of pyrano[2,3-c]benzazocines 9a-c. At 40 atmospheres and 90°, the reduction gives 4-amino-2-tetrahydroquinolinylbutanoic acid derivatives 8a-d as the main products and their precursors 7a,b,d as the minor ones. Amines 4c,d are isolated by stopping the reduction after the uptake of 3 equivalents of hydrogen.

The reaction of 5a-acetyl-6-ethoxycarbonyl-5a,6a-dihydro-6H-cyclopropa[e]pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine-3-carbonitrile ( 1a ) with benzylamine gave ethyl l-benzyl-5-cyano-8a,9-dihydro-2-methyl-1H-pyrrolo[3,4-e]-pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine-8a-carboxylate ( 2a ), in addition to 5-acetyl-3-benzylamino-1-(4-cyanopyrazol-3-yl)- 2-pyridone ( 3 ). Reaction of 1a with aniline gave ethyl 6-acetyl-8-anilino-3-cyano-7,8-dihydro-4H-pyrazolo-[1,5-a][1,3]diazepine-8-carboxylate ( 4 ), in addition to ethyl 3-cyano-7-methyl-6-pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine-acrylate ( 5 ). On the other hand, the same reactions of 1b with benzylamine or aniline gave 2b or 8b , respectively. Though catalytic hydrogenation of 1a over 5% palladium-carbon proceeded by ring fission of cyclopropane ring to give 9 , 1a (or 1b ) afforded 4,5-dihydro derivatives ( 13 or 15 ) by catalytic hydrogenation over platinum oxide. The reactivity of 5-methoxy-4,5,5a,6a-tetrahydro-6H-cyclopropa[e]pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine ( 16 ), which are related analogs of 1a,b , is also described.     

Reaction of 3-Amino-2H-azirines with 2-Amino-4,6-dinitrophenol (Picramic Acid): Synthesis of Quinazoline- and 1,3-Benzoxazole Derivatives

The reaction of 3-(dimethylamino)-2H-azirines 1a–c and 2-amino-4,6-dinitrophenol (picramic acid, 2 ) in MeCN at 0° to room temperature leads to a mixture of the corresponding 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinazoline-2-one 5 , 3-(dimethylamino)-1,2-dihydroquinazoline 6 , 2-(1-aminoalkyl)-1,3-benzoxazole 7 , and N-[2-(dimethylamino)phenyl]-α-aminocarboxamide 8 (Scheme 3). Under the same conditions, 3-(N-methyl-N-phenyl-amino)-2H-azirines 1d and 1e react with 2 to give exclusively the 1,3-benzoxazole derivative 7 . The structure of the products has been established by X-ray crystallography. Two different reaction mechanisms for the formation of 7 are discussed in Scheme 6. Treatment of 7 with phenyl isocyanate, 4-nitrobenzoyl chloride, tosyl chloride, and HCl leads to a derivatization of the NH₂-group of 7 (Scheme 4). With NaOH or NaOMe as well as with morpholine, 7 is transformed into quinazoline derivatives 5 , 14 , and 15 , respectively, via ring expansion (Scheme 5). In case of the reaction with morpholine, a second product 16 , corresponding to structure 8 , is isolated. With these results, the reaction of 1 and 2 is interpreted as the primary formation of 7 , which, under the reaction conditions, reacts with Me₂NH to yield the secondary products 5 , 6 , and 8 (Scheme 7).

The reaction of 7,9-dibromo-5-tribromornethyl-2-t-butyl-4-cyano-1,3,6,9b-tetraazaphenalene ( 1a ) with p-toluidine is shown to give 4,6-dibromo-2-t-butyl-8,13-dihydro-13-imino-11-methyl-1,3,7,8,13c-pentaazabenzo[de]naphthacene ( 4 ) in two steps with 7,9 dibromo-2-t-butyl-4-cyano-5-p-toluidino-1,3,6,9b-tetraazaphenalene ( 2b ) as the intermediate product. A related annulation reaction of 1a with N-(5-amino-2,4-dimethylphenyl)trimethylacetamide ( 8 ) leads in two steps to 9,11-dibromo-2,13-di-t-butyl-4,6-dimethyl-7H-1,3,7,8,11b,12,14-heptaazadibenzo[de,hi]naphthacene ( 6 ) with 7,9-dibromo-2-t-butyl-4-cyano-5N-(2,4-dimethyl-5-trimethylacetamidophenyl)amino-1,3,6,9b-tetraazaphenalene ( 2d ) as the intermediate product. In a similar fashion the reaction of 1a with o-phenylenediamine forms 14-amino-4,6-dibromo-2-t-butyl-8H-1,3,7,8,13,14c-hexaazobenzo[4,5]cyclohepta[1,2-a]-phenalene ( 12 ) by way of the intermediate 5-N-(2-aminophenyl)amino-7,9-dibromo-2-t-butyl-4-cyano-1,3,6,9b-tetraazaphenalene ( 2e ). The preparation of N-(2,4-dimethyl-5-nitrophenyl)-trimethylacetamide ( 11 ) and its reduction to N-(5-amino-2,4-dimethylphenyl)trimethylacetamide ( 8 ) is also described.     

On triazoles. VIII The reaction of 5-amino-1,2,4-triazoles with ethyl 2-cyano-3-ethoxyacrylate and 2-cyano-3-ethoxyacrylonitrile

The reaction of different 5-amino-3-Q-1H-1,2,4-triazoles 1 with ethyl 2-cyano-3-ethoxyacrylate ( 5a ) and 2-cyano-3-ethoxyacrylonitrile ( 5b ) to yield either the a type 5-amino-, or the b type 7-amino-1,2,4-triazolo[1,5-a]-pyrimidine derivatives 6–10 was studied. The structure of compounds 6 and 9 was proved by their degradation to the corresponding derivatives 17a and 18a , respectively, through intermediates 11a, 12a, 13a, 14a, 15a and 16a , respectively. The structure of derivatives 7, 8 and 10 was proved on the basis of the analogy of their uv spectra with those of 6a and 9a , respectively. The isolation of the intermediates 19 and 20 helped to prove the mechanism of the reactions leading to the formation of 6a and 9a , respectively. In the reaction of the N-substituted 5-amino-1,2,4-triazoles with 5a the expected condensed ring products were not formed. Instead the aminoacrylates 22 and 24 were obtained. The “Z”-“E” isomeric structure of derivatives 19, 20, 22 and 24 was proved with the help of their pmr spectra. The “Z” isomeric structure of the thermodynamically stabile 22 was corroborated with the help of its proton coupled cmr spectra, too.

A spectroscopic study and an unequivocal synthesis of 2-amino-4-methyl-6-phenyl-1,2,4-triazinedione ( 11a ) has shown the site of amination to be N2 of the 1,2,4-triazinone ring.
