Synthesis of disubstituted imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-2-ones

Regioselective palladium-catalyzed amination of 2-chloro-3-iodopyridine followed by a subsequent palladium-catalyzed amination leads to 2,3-diaminopyridines. Treatment with triphosgene affords highly functionalized unsymmetrical imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-2-ones in just three synthetic steps. A two-step synthesis of pseudosymmetrically disubstituted imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-2-ones, 1,4-disubstituted pyrido[2,3-b]pyrazinediones, and 1,3-disubstituted thiadiazolo[3,4-b]pyridin-2-ones is also described.     

Synthesis of 1-and 3-substituted imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-2-ones

1-and 3-Substituted imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-2-ones were synthesized by heating equimolar amounts of 3-amino-2-chloropyridine or 2-chloro-3-methylaminopyridine, urea, and the corresponding arylamine at 150–210°C. The reaction of 3-amino-2-chloropyridine with urea and p-phenylenediamine or p,p′-diaminobiphenyl at a ratio of 2:2:1 under analogous conditions gave 1,4-bis-(2-oxoimidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-3-yl)benzene or 1,4-bis(2-oxoimidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-3-yl)biphenyl, respectively.     

3 + 2] Cycloaddition reactions in the synthesis of triazolo[4,5-b]pyridin-5-ones and pyrrolo[3,4-b]pyridin-2-ones

The reaction of 5-benzenesulfonyl-3,4-dihydro-1 H-pyridin-2-one derivatives with azides or isocyanides provided two new classes of compounds, triazolo[4,5-b]pyridin-5-ones 3 or pyrrolo[3,4-b]pyridin-2-ones 4, respectively, in good yields and regioselectivity. A representative set of 20 compound 3 and 12 compound 4 was prepared.     

Synthesis and properties of 4-haloimidazo[4,5-c]pyridin-2-ones

Summary The nitro group in 4-nitroimidazo[4,5-c]pyridin-2-ones is rather labile and may be replaced upon heating with hydrohalic acids to give the corresponding 4-halides. A methyl group at N₍₃₎ leads to a sharp increase in the lability of the nitro group, but the isomeric 5-vitro derivatives do not react with hydrobromic or hydrochloric acids. Some reactions and transformations of 4-chloroimidazo[4,5-clpyridin-2-one are examined.Translated from Khimiya Getcrotsiklichcskikh Soedinenii, No. 8, pp. 1071-1075, August, 1994.

Synthesis of 2-aryl-5H-[1,3,4]-thiadiazolo[2,3-b]quinazolin-5-ones

3-Amino-2-thioxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinazolin-4-ones were converted into 2-aryl-5H-[1,3,4]thiadiazolo[2,3-b]quinazolin-5-ones on treatment with carboxylic acids and POCl₃. 3-Arylmethylidenamino-2-thioxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinazolin-4-ones also cyclized to 2-aryl-5H-[1,3,4]thiadiazolo[2,3-b]quinazolin-5-ones when oxidized with potassium chlorate in acetic acid, but on heating they were deaminated to give 2-thioxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinazolin-4-one and aryl nitriles. __________ Translated from Khimiya Geteotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 5, 787–791, May, 2006.

Condensation of 2,3-diaminopyridine ( 1 ) with ethyl o-, m- and p-substituted benzoylpyruvates 2–9 gave two isomeric products. The preferential formation of one or the other isomer has been achieved by different reaction conditions. All the products appear to exist in the enamine form as evidenced by their ¹H nmr and ir spectra.

Synthesis and unexpected reactions of 2-Hydroxy-3-pyridinylacetic hydrazides. Formation of 2H-Pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridin-2-ones

Treatment of 2-hydroxy-3-pyridinylacetic hydrazides under mild mesylation conditions provided 2H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridin-2-ones as unexpected products. This rearrangement is believed to result from an intramolecular attack of the hydrazide on a reactive pyridinium species formed under the reaction conditions.     

Zur Chemie der 5-Alkylamino-4H-thiopyrano[2,3-b]pyridin-4-one

4-Alkylaminopyridinethiones · HCl (1 · HCl) react with bis-trichlorethylmalonate (3) predominantly to 5-alkylamino-4H-thiopyrano [2,3-b]pyridine-4-ones (6). With alcohols in the presence of acids at 25°C6 undergoes an alcoholysis to the corresponding alkyl-3-(2-thioxo-3-pyridyl)propionates (9). On heating in dilute alkali6 is hydrolysed via 4-alkylamino-2-thioxopyridyl-propylketones (11) to the tautomers, 4-hydroxy-2-thioxopyridylpropylketone (12 A) and 2-thioxo-3-(1-hydroxybutenyl)-4-piperidon (12 B), resp. On refluxing with alkali the ethyl-pyridylpropionate9 a is cyclisized to the 1-alkyl-1,6-naphthyridine-2(1H)-one (4 a), but boiling in ethanolic acid hydrolyses9 a via the pyridylpropionic acid10 to 4-alkyl-aminopyridylpropylketone (11 a). The latter can be transformed via the tautomers12 A,B and 2-methylthio-3-pyridylpropylketone (13) to the 4-hydroxy-3-butyrylpyridone (14 A) and its tautomer, 3-(1-hydroxy-butenyl)-piperidine-2,4-diones (14 B) resp. The structure of14 A,B is established by reaction of 4-isopropylamino-2(1H)-pyridone (2) with butanoylchloride to the 4-isopropylamino-3-butyrypyridone (15) and hydrolysis of15 to the tautomers14 A,B.     

Pyridinethiones. VI. The synthesis of 2H-Thiopyrano[2,3-b]pyridin-2-ones

A general and versatile method for the preparation of 2H-thiopyrano[2,3-b]pyridin-2-ones is described. The starting materials, the β, β-disubstituted vinyl-1-t-butyl-2-(1H)pyridinethiones were prepared from the synthon 3-formyl-1-t-butyl-2-(1H)pyridinethione by condensation. ¹³H nmr spectra showed the vinyl double bond of the condensation products to have the trans configuration with the smallest group close to the sulfur atom. Some reactions of these new azaanalogues of thiocoumarins are reported.
