New one‐ pot synthesis of pyrazolo[3,4‐c]pyridazine and isoxazolo‐[5,4‐b]pyridine derivatives from potassium cyanoacetahydroxamate

The reaction of potassium cyanoacetohydroxamate 1 with ethyl 2‐aryl‐hydrazono‐3‐oxobutyrates 2 gave the unexpected pyrazolo[3,4‐c]pyridazines 7 and isoxazolo[5,4‐b]pyridines 10 via a one‐pot reaction. A mechanistic proof is suggested to account for the products.     

Pyridazines. XLI synthesis of novel pyrido[3,4-d]pyridazine derivatives from 4,5-disubstituted pyridazines

Pyrido[3,4-d]pyridazines 2–5, 21 bearing one, two, or three aryl substituents in the pyridine moiety are shown to be conveniently accessible from 4-aroyl-5-methylpyridazines or 4,5-diaroylpyridazines, respectively, by condensation reactions with appropriate C-N fragments. In addition, the novel pyridazine-annelated pyridones 24, 25 were found to be easily available from ethyl 5-methyl-4-pyridazinecarboxylate.

New 1,2,3‐triazolo[4,5‐d]1,2,4‐triazolo[3,4‐b]pyridazine derivatives II

New tricyclic 1,2,3‐triazolo‐1,2,4‐triazolo‐pyridazine derivatives, bearing a methyl substituent on the 1,2,3‐triazole ring, were prepared as potential biological agents. N‐Methylation of dimethyl 1,2,3‐triazole‐4,5‐dicarboxylate allowed synthesis of the isomeric 1‐methyl‐4,7‐dihydroxy and 2‐methyl‐4,7‐dihydroxy triazolo‐pyridazines 4a and 4b which, by a chlorination reaction, gave the corresponding 1‐methyl‐4‐chloro‐( 6a ), 1‐methyl‐7‐chloro‐ ( 6b ) and 2‐methyl‐4‐chloro‐ ( 9 ) substituted 1,2,3‐triazolo‐pyridazines. The nucle‐ophilic substitution with hydrazine hydrate and the suitable cyclization to form the 1,2,4‐triazole ring, provided the expected tricyclic isomeric derivatives 8a, 8b and 11 respectively. The p‐methoxybenzyl substituent, introduced as a leaving group to obtain either v‐triazolo‐pyridazine or v‐triazolo‐s‐triazolo‐pyri‐dazine derivatives unsubstituted on the 1,2,3‐triazole ring, appeared inadequate. Some compounds underwent binding assays toward the adenosine A₁and A_2A receptors.     

Synthesis of novel pyrazolo[3,4‐d]pyridazine,pyrido[1,2‐a]benzimidazole,pyrimido[1,2‐a]benzimidazole and triazolo[4,3‐a]pyrimidine derivatives

4‐Acetyl‐5‐methyl‐1‐phenyl‐1H‐pyrazole reacts with dimethylformamide dimethylacetal (DMF‐DMA) to afford the corresponding (E)1‐(5‐methyl‐1‐phenyl‐1H‐pyrazol‐4‐yl)‐3‐(N,N‐dimethylamino)‐2‐propen‐1‐one. The latter product undergoes regioselective 1,3‐dipolar cycloaddition with nitrilimines and nitrile oxides to afford the novel 3‐aroyl‐4‐(5‐methyl‐1‐phenyl‐1H‐pyrazol‐4‐yl)carbonyl‐1‐phenylpyrazole and 3‐aroyl‐4‐(5‐methyl‐1‐phenyl‐1H‐pyrazol‐4‐yl)carbonyl isoxazole derivatives, respectively. It reacts also with 1H‐benzimidazole‐2‐acetonitrile, 2‐aminobenzimidazole and 3‐amino‐1,2,4‐triazole to afford the novel pyrido[1,2‐a]benzimidazole, pyrimido[1,2‐a]benzimidazole and the triazolo[4,3‐a]pyrimidine derivatives, respectively. The reaction of 3‐aroyl‐4‐(5‐methyl‐1‐phenyl‐1H‐pyrazol‐4‐yl) carbonyl‐1‐phenylpyrazole derivatives with hydrazine hydrate led to a new pyrazolo[3,4‐d]pyridazine derivatives.

The condensation of active methylene reagents with salicylaldehyde: Novel synthesis of chromene,azaanthracene, pyrano[3,4‐c]chromene and chromeno[3,4‐c]pyridine derivatives

On heating of the cyanoacetic acid cyclopentylidene hydrazide 1 with salicylaldehyde in the presence of bases the azaanthracene derivative 6 was formed. Also, reaction of 3 with malononitrile and ketones 10a,b afforded the pyrano[3,4‐c]chromene 9 and chromeno[3,4‐c]pyridine 11 respectively. A mechanism for these reactions is proposed.     

Facile synthesis of multi‐functional 1,3,4‐thiadiazine derivatives bearing phthalazine,pyridazine, and pyrido‐pyridazine moieties

A series of novel, multifunctional 1,3,4‐thiadiazine derivatives bearing phthalazines, pyridazines and pyrido‐pyridazines ( 9–13 ) have been synthesized via the multicomponent reaction of (3‐(2‐bromo‐2‐[2‐chloropyrimidin‐4‐yl]acetyl)‐2‐chlorophenyl)‐2,6‐dichloro benzene‐sulfonamide with thiocarbohydrazide and various anhydrides. The reactions were performed by refluxing the components in mixed ethanol/acetic acid to afford the corresponding products in good to excellent yields. All the synthesized compounds were characterized by analytical and spectral studies. The developed method features short reaction time, simple work‐up without chromatographic separation, and a broad range of substrate applicability.

Furopyridines. XXVI. Reactions of cyanopyridine derivatives of furo[2,3‐b]‐, ‐[3,2‐b]‐, ‐[2,3‐c]‐ and ‐[3,2‐c]pyridine

Bromination of α‐cyanopyridine derivatives of furopyridines 1a‐d gave the 2,3‐dibromo‐2,3‐dihydro compounds 2a‐d in excellent yields. Treatment of 2a‐d with sodium hydroxide in methanol yielded compounds formed through the dehydrobromination and solvolysis of the nitrile. N‐Oxidation of 1a and 1b gave N‐oxide in much poor yield, while 1c and 1d gave the N‐oxide 13c and 13d in good yields. The nucleophilic reactions (cyanation, chlorination and acetoxylatoin) of 13c through a Reissert‐Henze type reaction gave poor results, which would be caused by the strong electron withdrawing effect of the cyano group.

A facile synthesis of substituted pyridines and pyrazolo[3,4‐b]pyridines

A facile, solvent free, ecofriendly approach for the synthesis of 2‐amino‐3(ethylcarboxy)‐4,6‐disubsti‐tuted pyridine 4 and pyrazolo[3,4‐b]pyridines 6 is herein described employing neat reaction conditions under microwave irradiation. This solventless methodology is environmentally benign as it completely eliminates the use of solvent from the reaction procedure. The observed reaction rate enhancement and high yield of products are due to the neat reaction conditions coupled with microwaves (MWs).
