Synthesis and anticonvulsant activities of 5-(2-Chlorophenyl)-7H-pyrido[4,3-f][1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a][1,4]diazepines

A group of 5-(2-chlorophenyl)-10-(substituted)-7H-pyrido[4,3-f][1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a][1,4]diazepines 7a-c were synthesized by the acid catalyzed reaction of 5-(2-chlorophenyl)-2-hydrazino-3H-pyrido[3,4-e]-[1,4]diazepine ( 6 ) with either trimethyl orthoformate, triethyl orthoacetate or triethyl orthobenzoate, respectively. 5-(2-Chlorophenyl)-7H-pyrido[4,3-f][1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a][1,4]diazepine ( 7a ) and 5-(2-chlo-rophenyl)-10-methyl-7H-pyrido[4,3-f][1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a][1,4]diazepine ( 7b ) exhibited good anticonvulsant activity in the subcutaneous metrazol anticonvulsant screen which serves as a model for absence (petit mal) epilepsy.     

Unexpected valence bond isomerization of [1,2,4]triazolo[3,4-c][1,2,4]benzotriazines under flash vacuum pyrolytic (fvp) conditions

Flash vacuum pyrolysis (fvp) of some substituted [1,2,4]triazolo[3,4-c][1,2,4]benzotriazine derivatives (1a-d) has been studied between 450 and 600 °C. The only transformation observed up to 525 °C was the unexpected valence bond isomerization of the angularly fused starting compounds to the isomeric linearly fused [1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-b][1,2,4]benzotriazine derivatives (9a-d), whereas at higher temperatures fragmentation products such as aromatic nitriles were also formed. Kinetic measurements revealed negative entropies of activation in the isomerization process, which suggest a concerted ring closure reaction to an intermediate antiaromatic diazirine. Reversibiblity of the title isomerization reaction was also proved by FVP experiments.     

A mild synthesis of [1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]pyridines

The reaction between 2-hydrazinopyridines and ethyl imidates was examined as a one-pot method for rapidly preparing [1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]pyridines. A diverse set of 2-hydrazinopyridines were cyclized with a variety of alkyl- and aryl-substituted ethyl imidates in good yields. The reaction proceeds optimally under mild conditions (50−70 °C) using 1.5 equiv of acetic acid. The electronic and steric properties of the hydrazine and imidate strongly impact the rate of the reaction. When highly electron deficient 2-hydrazinopyridines were used, the products rearranged to [1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyridines.

A number of 2-aryl-substituted pyrido[3,2-e] and [4,3-e][1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-c]pyrimidines and [1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-c]pteridines 11,12a,b,e , their corresponding 5-carbonyl derivatives 7,8a,b,e and some pyrimido[5,4-e][1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-c]pyrimidin-5-ones 7,8c,d have been synthesized, according to different pathways. The new tricyclic heterocycles were prepared with the aim of studying their possible benzodiazepine receptors affinity.     

Angular Regioselectivity in the Reactions of 2-Thioxopyrimidin-4-ones and Hydrazonoyl Chlorides: Synthesis of Novel Stereoisomeric Octahydro[1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]quinazolin-5-ones

The regioselective synthesis of cis and trans stereoisomers of variously functionalized octahydro[1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]quinazolin-5-ones was performed. The 2-thioxopyrimidin-4-ones used in the synthesis reacted with hydrazonoyl chlorides in a regioselective manner to produce the angular regioisomers [1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]quinazolin-5-ones rather than the linear isomers [1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]quinazolin-5-ones. The synthesis process took place with electronic control. The angular regiochemistry of the products was confirmed by X-ray experiments and two-dimensional NMR studies.     

Synthesis of 8,9-dihydro[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]-quinazolin-6(7H)-one derivatives

Regioselectivity of the reactions of 1H-1,2,4-triazol-3-amines with 2-acyl-5,5-dimethylcyclohexane-1,3-diones and 2-dimethylaminomethylidene-5,5-dimethylcyclohexane-1,3-dione was studied.

All reactions were characterized by short reaction times and high yields at room temperature. All reactions were carried out by just grinding the reaction components.     

A convenient synthesis of 1,2,4-triazolo[4,3,2-o,p]-[1,3]diazocino[4,5-b]quinoxalines via a 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction and a ring transformation

The reaction of 6-chloro-2-hydrazinoquinoxaline 4-oxide 5 with triethyl orthoformate gave 7-chloro-1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-a]quinoxaline 5-oxide 6. The reaction of compound 6 with phenyl isocyanate afforded 7-chloro-4-phenylamino-1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-a]quinoxaline 7 , while the reaction of compound 6 with phenyl isothiocyanate resulted in deoxygenation to provide 7-chloro-1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-a]quinoxaline 8. However, the reaction of compound 6 with allyl isothiocyanate effected the 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction, but not deoxygenation, to furnish 9-chloro-4,5-dihydroisoxazolo[2,3-a][1,2,4]triazolo[3,4-c]quinoxalin-5-ylmethylisothiocyanate 9. Moreover, the reduction of compound 9 with iron/acetic acid resulted in ring transformation to give 11 -chloro-7-hydroxy-4-thioxo-4,5,6,7,8,9-hexahydro-1,2,4-triazolo[4,3,2- o,p][1,3]diazocino[4,5-b]quinoxaline 10 , whose acetylation afforded 5-acetyl-11-chloro-7-hydroxy-4-thioxo-4,5,6,7,8,9-hexahydro-1,2,4-triazolo[4,3,2-o,p][1,3]diazocino[4,5-b]quinoxaline 11.

The reaction of 5-methyl-7-phenyl-4,7-dihydro-1,2,4-triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine with α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds in MeOH in the presence of MeONa affords partially hydrogenated aryl-substituted [1,2,4]triazolo[5,1-b]quinazolines. Hydrolysis, oxidation, reduction, and alkylation of 5,6,8-triphenyl-5,6,7,10-tetrahydro[1,2,4]triazolo[5,1-b]quinazoline were studied. The structure of one oxidation product, viz., 7-hydroxy-5,6,8-triphenyl-6,7-dihydro[1,2,4]triazolo[5,1-b]quinazoline, was established by X-ray diffraction.

Reactions of 3-oxo-N-phenylbutanethioamide with 3-substituted 5-amino-1H-1,2,4-triazoles in acetic acid led to the formation of 5-methyl-7,8-dihydro[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine-7-thiones, 7-methyl-5,8-dihydrol[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine-5-thiones and 7-methyl-5-phenylamino[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidines. The structure of the products was proved by the ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectra, X-ray diffraction data, and chemical transformations.

An efficient three component one-pot synthesis of 5-amino-7-aryl-7,8-dihydro-[1,2,4] triazolo[4,3-a]-pyrimidine-6-carbonitriles

A series of novel 5-amino-7-aryl-7,8-dihydro-[1,2,4] triazolo[4,3-a]-pyrimidine-6-carbonitriles were synthesized by a one-pot reaction of 3-amino-1,2,4-triazole, malononitrile and aryl aldehydes in the presence of 20 mol% NaOH in ethanol under heating or ultrasonic irradiation. The structures of the target compounds were confirmed by inspection of their (1)H- NMR, (13)C-NMR, IR and MS spectra. The advantages of this method are short reaction times, good yields, high selectivity and operational simplicity.     

Annelated piperazinyl-7,8-dihydro-6H-thiopyrano[3,2-d]pyrimidines

Tricyclic analogs of piperazinylthiopyrano[3,2-d]pyrimidine hypoglycemic agents were prepared. The angular tricyclic systems, 8,9-dihydro-7H-thiopyrano[2,3-e][1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]pyrimidine and 8,9-dihydro-7H-tetrazolo[1,5-a]thiopyrano[2,3-e]pyrimidine derivatives were synthesized from 2,4-dichloro-7,8-dihydro-6H-thiopyrano[3,2-d]pyrimidine in three step sequences. Derivatives of the linear tricyclic system, 5,6-dihydro-7H-thiopyrano[3,2-d][1,2,4]triazolo[2,3-a]pyrimidine, were prepared by condensation of 3-amino-1,2,4-triazole with ethyl 3-oxo-tetrahydropyran-2-carboxylate. The tricyclic heteroaryl-piperazines lacked significant hypoglycemic activity.

Compounds 4–6 were deprotected to 3-amino-1-β-D-ribofuranosyl[1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-b][1,2,4]-triazole ( 3 ), 3-amino-1-α-D-ribofuranosyl[1,2,4]triazolo[4,5-b][1,2,4]triazole ( 8 ), and 3-imino-2H-2-β-D-ribo-furanosyl[1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-b][1,2,4]triazole ( 9 ), while 7 could not be deprotected without decomposition. Compounds 1, 4, 6, 7 , and 9 were screened and found to have no antiviral activity.     

Electrophilically Activated Nitroalkanes in Double Annulation of [1,2,4]Triazolo[4,3-a]quinolines and 1,3,4-Oxadiazole Rings

Nitroalkanes activated with polyphosphoric acid could serve as efficient electrophiles in reactions with amines and hydrazines, enabling various cascade transformations toward heterocyclic systems. This strategy was developed for an innovative synthetic protocol employing simultaneous or sequential annulation of two different heterocyclic cores, affording [1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]quinolines with 1,3,4-oxadiazole substituents.

A Convenient Synthesis of NovelDerivatives of Pyrido[2,3- d ][1,2,4]triazolo[4,3- a ]pyrimidine-5,6-dione

 Reaction of 6-Amino-2-thiouracil with hydrazonoyl halides yielded regioselectively 7-amino-1,3-disubstituted-1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-a]pyrimidine derivatives. Upon treatment with methyl (Z)-2-benzoylamino-3-dimethylaminopropenoate, the corresponding methyl (Z)-2-benzoylamino-3-([1,2, 4]triazolo[4,3-a]pyrimidin-7-yl)-amino propenoates were obtained which cyclized in the presence of sodium ethoxide to afford novel derivatives of pyrido[2,3-d][1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]pyrimidine-5,6-(1H,8H)-diones.     

Partially hydrogenated 2-amino[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidines as synthons for the preparation of polycondensed heterocycles: reaction with chlorocarboxylic acid chlorides

Partially hydrogenated 2-amino[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidines and 2-amino[1,2,4]triazolo[5,1-b]quinazolines react with the chlorides of chloroacetic, 3-chloropropanoic, and 4-chlorobutanoic acids at 0–5 °C to give amides through acylation of the 2-amino group. Heating the corresponding 3-chloropropanoyl derivatives at 80–90 °C in DMF leads to selective intramolecular alkylation at N-3 to form the chlorides of partially hydrogenated [1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a:4,3-a′]dipyrimidin-5-ones and pyrimido[2′,1′:3,4][1,2,4]triazolo[5,1-b]quinazolin-12-ones. It may be more convenient to prepare such compounds through one-pot processes. Some reactions of the synthesized chlorides of polycondensed heterocycles have been studied. Conditions have been found to effect the selective synthesis of free bases, oxidative aromatization or hydrolysis of the dihydropyrimidine cycle, and the selective hydrolytic cleavage or elimination of the pyrimidone ring. Some of the resulting compounds represent new mesoionic heterocycles.

Catalytic hydrogenation selectively led to partial saturation of the [1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-x]azine residue, while in reactions with borane–methylsulfide coordination of borane to the 1-position of [1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-x]azine system took place. On the other hand, activation of the carbonyl group in (1R,3R,4R)-3-([1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-x]azin-3-yl)-1,7,7-trimethylbicyclo[2.2.1]heptan-2-ones with boron trifluoride etherate followed by reaction with borane–methylsulfide furnished the corresponding isoborneols, stereoselectively. The structures of all representative compounds were confirmed by X-ray diffraction.
