Also in the presence of phosphoryl chloride, compounds I underwent cyclization with monocarbo-xylic acids and oxalic acid to 3,6-diaryl-s-triazolo[3,4-b][1,3,4]thiadiazole VIII and 6,6′-bis(3-aryl-s-triazolo-[3,4-b][1,3,4]thiadiazoles) IX .

The newly synthesized 3-(3-amino-5-(phenylamino)-4-(phenylcarbamoyl)thiophen-2-yl)-3-oxopropanoate was utilized as a precursor for the synthesis of pyrazolyl-thiophene derivative, which undergoes cyclization upon treatment with benzaldehyde derivatives to provide pyrazolo[3,4-d]thieno[3,2-b]pyridines. Basic treatment of pyrazolyl-thiophene derivative with phenyl isothiocyanate followed by subsequent addition of chloroacetone and/or ethyl bromoacetate yielded the thiazolylidene-pyrazolyl thiophenes. In addition, the building block 3-(3-amino-5-(phenylamino)-4-(phenylcarbamoyl)thiophen-2-yl)-3-oxopropanoate was converted into the corresponding thieno[3,2-b]pyridine compounds through its reactions with (DMF-DMA) and/or heating in sodium ethoxide. Moreover, the reaction of 7-hydroxy-5-oxo-N-phenyl-2-(phenylamino)-4,5-dihydrothieno[3,2-b]pyridine-3-carboxamide with 2-arylidenemalononitrile produced the new annulated pyrano[2,3-d]thieno[3,2-b]pyridines. The prepared thiophene-based compounds were evaluated against HepG2, PC3, and MCF-7 cancer cells, and normal fibroblast cell (WI38). The pyrazolo[3,4-d]thieno[3,2-b]pyridine and pyrano[2,3-d]thieno[3,2-b]pyridine compounds substituted with chlorophenyl group presented promising cytotoxic activities against HepG2 cancer cell line without any human toxicity.

Synthesis and alkylation of pyrazolo[3,4-c]isoquinolines and hexahydrocyclohepta[d]pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridines

The condensation of 1-acyl-2-(morpholin-4-yl)cycloalkenes with 3-amino-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazol-5(4H)-ones gave the corresponding 2,3,6,7,8,9-hexahydropyrazolo[3,4-c]isoquinoline and 3,6,7,8,9,10-hexahydrocyclohepta[ d]pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridine derivatives.

The reaction of 6 with hydrazine hydrate provided 3-hydrazinocarbonyl-1-(o-chlorophenyl)-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-b]quinoxaline 7 , whose reactions with methyl and allyl isothiocyanates furnished 3-(2,3-dihydro-4-methyl-3-thioxo-4H-1,2,4-triazol-5-yl)-1-(o-chlorophenyl)-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-b]quinoxaline 2 and 3-(4-allyl-2,3-dihydro-3-thioxo-4H-1,2,4-triazol-5-yl)-1-(o-chloropheny)-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-b]quinoxaline 8 , respectively. Moreover, the reactions of 7 with triethyl orthoformate and orthoacetate gave 1-(o-chlorophenyl)-3-(1,3,4-oxadiazol-5-yl)-1H-pyrazolo-[3,4-b]quinoxaline 9a and 1(o-chlorophenyl)-3-(2-methyl-1,3,4-oxadiazol-5-yl)-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-b]quinoxaline 9b , respectively.     

Synthesis of thieno[3,4-b]pyrrole derivatives based on the reaction of 1-methyl-2-nitromethylenepyrrolidine with isothiocyanates

The reaction of 1-methyl-2-nitromethylenepyrrolidine with arylisothiocyanates in the presence of a base was found to proceed at the 3-СН₂ group of the nitroenamine followed by further cyclization to afford 4-R-imino-1-methyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-6H-thieno[3,4-b]pyrrol-6-one oximes. Under analogous conditions, alkylisothiocyanates add to 1-methyl-2-nitromethylenepyrrolidine giving 1-methyl-2-nitromethylenepyrrolidine-3-carbothioic acid amides, and no cyclization was observed. A tentative mechanism for the formation of thieno[3,4-b]pyrrolе derivatives is proposed.

The syntheses of the K-oxide and K-imine derivatives of dibenz[a,j]anthracene ( 1 ) are described. The parent hydrocarbon 1 that was obtained as a side product in the Elbs pyrolysis of (2-methyl-1-naphthyl)-1′-naphthylmethanone ( 10 ) was oxidized to 3-(2-formylphenyl)-3-phenanthrenecarboxaldehyde ( 3 ).

Reaction of the oxirane with sodium azide followed by triethyl phosphite cyclization of the mixture of trans azido-alcohols so formed, yielded mainly 4b,5a-dihydrodibenz[3,4:5,6]anthra[1,2-b]azirine ( 5 ).     

Nucleophilic cyclization of 3-alkynylquinoxaline-2-carbonitriles into pyrido[3,4-b]quinoxalines

3-Alkynylquinoxaline-2-carbonitriles have been synthesized from 3-chloroquinoxaline-2-carbonitrile via the Sonogashira reaction. Treatment of 3-alkynylquinoxaline-2-carbonitriles with an alkylamine or ammonia has been shown to produce stable enamines, e.g., (Z)-3-(2-aryl-2-aminovinyl)quinoxaline-2-carbonitriles. Their base-induced cyclization gave the previously unknown pyrido[3,4-b]quinoxalin-1(2H)-imines or pyrido[3,4-b]quinoxalin-1-amines. 3-Alkynylquinoxaline-2-carbonitriles were directly transformed into pyrido[3,4-b]quinoxalin-1(2H)-imines by heating with an alkylamine and K₂CO₃ in DMF. The ionization constants, and absorption and fluorescent properties of the resulted pyrido[3,4-b]quinoxalin-1(2H)-imines were measured.     

Novel [1,2,4]triazolo[3,4-b][1,3,4]thiadiazine derivatives embedded with benzimidazole moiety as potent antioxidants

Fourteen novel [1,2,4]triazolo[3,4-b][1,3,4]thiadiazine derivatives bearing benzimidazole moiety ( 7a-n ) have been synthesized using the one-pot nitro reductive cyclization method. All the synthesized compounds were confirmed by ¹H nuclear magnetic resonance (¹H NMR), ¹³C NMR, fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR), mass spectrum, and elemental analyses. All the title compounds were subjected to in vitro antioxidant activity. The free radical scavenging activity of the compounds was examined using DPPH, nitric oxide, and superoxide radical scavenging methods. The results demonstrated that compound 3-(2-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)-1-propyl-1H-benzo[d]imidazol-5-yl)-6-4-tolyl-7H-[1,2,4]triazolo[3,4-b][1,3,4]thiadiazine ( 7c ) was potent in scavenging both DPPH and nitric oxide radical with IC₅₀ values of 13.57 and 18.55 μg/ml when compared to the standard with IC₅₀ values of 23.75 and 23.14 μg/ml, respectively, which was due to the presence of electron-donating groups. The activity was found to decline when electron-donating groups were replaced by electron-withdrawing groups. Moderate scavenging activity was observed for the superoxide radical. Structure activity relationship and physiochemical properties were studied for all the derivatives.     

Fused pyrimidine systems: XIII. Synthesis and some transformations of 1,3-thiazolo(thiazino)-fused pyrido[3,4-d]pyrimidines

2-[Allyl(propargyl)sulfanyl]pyrido[3,4-d]pyrimidin-4-ones at heating in polyphosphoric acid undergo an intramolecular cyclization with the formation of pyrido[4,3-e]thiazolo-[3,2-a]pyrimidin-5-ones of angular structure. Under similar conditions the cyclization of 2-(cinnamylsulfanyl)pyrido[3,4-d]-pyrimidin-4-one results in a linear pyrido[3′,4′:4,5]pyrimido-[2,1-b][1,3]thiazin-6-one. The iodocyclization of the same substrates affords the corresponding 9-(iodomethyl)(iodomethylidene)pyrido[4,3-e][1,3]thiazolo-[3,2-a]pyrimidin-5-ones and 3-iodopyrido[3′,4′:4,5]pyrimido[2,1-b][1,3]thiazin-6-one of angular structure. 9-(Iodomethyl)-8,9-dihydro-5H-pyrido[4,3-e][1,3]thiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidin-5-one treated with sodium azide gave 9-(azidomethyl) derivative whose cyclization with substituted alkynes in the presence of copper compounds provided pyrido [4,3-e][1,3]thiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidinylmethyltriazoles.
