A Facile Synthesis of Aryl‐Substituted Hydrazono‐Pyrazolyl[1,2,4]triazolo[3,4‐b][1,3,4][thiadiazol]‐coumarin Derivatives

Some inimitable and therapeutic coumarin‐substituted fused[1,2,4]triazolo‐[3,4‐b][1,3,4]thiadizole derivatives were synthesized by the cyclocondensation reaction of 2‐oxo‐2H‐chromene‐3‐carboxylic acid ( 1 ) and 4‐amino‐5‐hydrazinyl‐4H‐[1,2,4]‐triazole‐3‐thiol ( 2 ) by using phosphorous oxychloride as a cyclizing agent. This cyclized intermediate 3‐(3‐hydrazino‐[1,2,4]triazolo[3,4‐b][1,3,4]thiadiazol‐6‐yl)‐chromen‐2‐one ( 3 ) later condensation with various ethyl 2‐(2‐arylhydrazono)‐3‐oxobutanoates ( 4 ) in NaOAc/MeOH under reflux conditions afforded the corresponding new series of aryl‐substituted hydrazono‐pyrazolyl‐[1,2,4]triazolo[3,4‐b][1,3,4][thiadiazol]‐coumarin derivatives ( 5 ) in good to excellent yields. The structures of newly synthesized compounds were established on the basis of elemental analysis, IR, ¹H NMR and mass spectroscopic studies.     

Synthesis of Novel Disubstituted Pyrazolo[1,5‐a]pyrimidines,Imidazo[1,2‐a]pyrimidines,and Pyrimido[1,2‐a]benzimidazoles Containing Thioether and Aryl Moieties

A series of novel 6‐[(1,3,4‐thiadiazol‐2‐yl)sulfanyl]‐7‐phenylpyrazolo[1,5‐a]pyrimidines, 5‐phenyl‐6‐[(1,3,4‐thiadiazol‐2‐yl)sulfanyl]imidazo[1,2‐a]pyrimidines, and 2‐phenyl‐3‐[(1,3,4‐thiadiazol‐2‐yl)sulfanyl]pyrimido[1,2‐a]benzimidazoles have been synthesized in four steps starting with 2‐hydroxyacetophenone. The intermediate 3‐[(1,3,4‐thiadiazol‐2‐yl)sulfanyl]‐4H‐1‐benzopyran‐4‐ones reacted with pyrazol‐3‐amines, 5‐methylpyrazol‐3‐amine, and 1H‐imidazol‐2‐amine, 1H‐benzimidazol‐2‐amine via a cyclocondensation to give the title compounds in the presence of MeONa as base, respectively. The approach affords the target compounds in acceptable‐to‐good yields. The new compounds were characterized by their IR, NMR, and HR mass spectra.     

Differentiation between [1,2,4]triazolo[1,5‐a] pyrimidine and [1,2,4]triazolo[4,3‐a]‐ pyrimidine regioisomers by 1H?15N HMBC experiments

The condensation of malonoaldehyde derivatives with either a 3‐amino‐[1,2,4]‐triazole or a 3,5‐diamino‐[1,2,4]‐triazole precursor was studied. In agreement with previous reports, two different bicycles, namely, bearing the regioisomeric [1,2,4]triazolo[1,5‐a]pyrimidine ( 1 ) or[1,2,4] triazolo [4,3‐a]pyrimidine ( 2 ) structural surrogates, could be obtained. We found that, depending on the triazole precursor, only one regioisomer resulted, either of the 1 or 2 series. We also observed that these two structural surrogates could be unambiguously differentiated by indirectly measuring their ¹⁵N chemical shifts by ¹H? ¹⁵N HMBC experiments. The occasional conversion of [1,2,4]triazolo[4,3‐a]pyrimidines to the [1,2,4]triazolo[1,5‐a]pyrimidine counterparts could be unequivocally determined by ¹⁵N NMR data.

Five closely related 4‐chloro‐6,11‐dihydro‐5H‐benzo[b]pyrimido[5,4‐f]azepines: similar molecular structures but different supramolecular assemblies

Dibenz[b,f]azepine (DBA) is a privileged 6‐7‐6 tricyclic ring system of importance in both organic and medicinal chemistry. Benzo[b]pyrimido[5,4‐f]azepines (BPAs), which also contain a privileged 6‐7‐6 ring system, are less well investigated, probably because of a lack of straightforward and versatile methods for their synthesis. A simple and versatile synthetic approach to BPAs based on intramolecular Friedel–Crafts alkylation has been developed. A group of closely‐related benzo[b]pyrimido[5,4‐f]azepine derivatives, namely (6RS)‐4‐chloro‐6,11‐dimethyl‐6,11‐dihydro‐5H‐benzo[b]pyrimido[5,4‐f]azepine, C₁₄H₁₄ClN₃, (I), (6RS)‐4‐chloro‐8‐hydroxy‐6,11‐dimethyl‐6,11‐dihydro‐5H‐benzo[b]pyrimido[5,4‐f]azepine, C₁₄H₁₄ClN₃O, (II), (6RS)‐4‐<!?tlsb=‐0.14pt>chloro‐8‐methoxy‐6,11‐dimethyl‐6,11‐dihydro‐5H‐benzo[b]pyrimido[5,4‐f]azepine, C₁₅H₁₆ClN₃O, (III), and (6RS)‐4‐chloro‐8‐methoxy‐6,11‐dimethyl‐2‐phenyl‐6,11‐dihydro‐5H‐benzo[b]pyrimido[5,4‐f]azepine, C₂₁H₂₀ClN₃O, (IV), has been prepared and their structures compared with the recently published structure [Acosta‐Quintero et al. (2015). Eur. J. Org. Chem. pp. 5360–5369] of (6RS)‐4‐chloro‐2,6,8,11‐tetramethyl‐6,11‐dihydro‐5H‐benzo[b]pyrimido[5,4‐f]azepine, (V). All five compounds crystallize as racemic mixtures and they have very similar molecular conformations, with the azepine ring adopting a boat‐type conformation in each case, although the orientation of the methoxy substituent in each of (III) and (IV) is different. The supramolecular assemblies in (II) and (IV) depend upon hydrogen bonds of the O—H...N and C—H...π(arene) types, respectively, those in (I) and (V) depend upon π–π stacking interactions involving pairs of pyrimidine rings, and that in (III) depends upon a π–π stacking interaction involving pairs of phenyl rings. Short C—Cl...π(pyrimidine) contacts are present in (I), (II) and (IV) but not in (III) or (V).     

Antimicrobial Activity of Novel Tetra‐ and Penta‐azaheterocyclic Ring Systems

A novel series of substituted [1,2,4]triazolo[4′,3′:1,2]pyrimido[4,5‐c ]benzo[f ]isoquinolin‐14(10H )‐one was synthesized from the reaction of hydrazonoyl chlorides with pyrimidine thione derivative or via oxidative cyclization of 3‐(2‐substituted‐benzylidene‐hydrazinyl)‐7,8‐dihydrobenzo[f ]pyrimido[4,5‐c ]isoquinolin‐1(2H )‐one. Also, some polyhetero‐cyclic ring systems were prepared through the reaction of 2‐dimethylaminomethylene‐3,4‐dihydro‐2H‐naphthalen‐1‐one and heterocyclic amines. The biological activity of some new products was evaluated, and the results obtained revealed that compounds 10e , 13a , and 18 showed excellent activities against the most bacteria and fungi species used.

A Facile One‐Pot Three‐Component Synthesis of 5‐(Trifluoromethyl)‐4,7‐dihydro‐[1,2,4]‐triazolo[1,5‐a]pyrimidine Derivatives in Ionic Liquid

An efficient one‐pot synthesis of 5‐(trifluoromethyl)‐4,7‐dihydro‐7‐aryl‐[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5‐a]pyrimidine derivatives was performed via the reaction of aryl aldehyde, 3‐amino‐1,2,4‐triazole and ethyl 4,4,4‐trifluoro‐3‐oxobutanoate or 4,4,4‐trifluoro‐1‐phenylbutane‐1,3‐dione in ionic liquid.

The structure of the synthesized compounds was determined on the basis of NMR, IR, and MS spectroscopic data and confirmed by the X‐ray analysis of the 6‐(ethoxy‐phenyl‐methyl)‐5‐phenyl‐[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5‐a]pyrimidine 6 , 5‐phenyl‐6‐(1‐phenyl‐vinyl)‐[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5‐a]pyrimidine 11 , and 7‐phenyl‐6‐(1‐phenyl‐vinyl)‐[1,2,4]triazolo[4,3‐a]pyrimidine 12 .

Since deregulation of the tyrosine‐kinase receptor c‐Met is implicated in several human cancers and is an attractive target for small‐molecule‐drug discovery, we report herein the synthesis of 2,3,4,5‐tetrahydro‐8‐[1‐(quinolin‐6‐ylmethyl)‐1H‐1,2,3‐triazolo[4,5‐b]pyrazin‐6‐yl]‐1H‐pyrido[4,3‐b]indoles 4a – 4c and 2,3,4,5‐tetrahydro‐8‐[3‐(quinolin‐6‐ylmethyl)‐1,2,4‐triazolo[4,3‐b]pyridazin‐6‐yl]‐1H‐pyrido[4,3‐b]indoles 5a – 5c . These indole derivatives demonstrated inhibition of c‐Met kinase activity. Concurrently, five key intermediates were synthesized. These compounds could be prepared in good yields.     

Syntheses and properties of new herbicidal 2‐arylthio‐l,2,4‐triazolo [l,5‐a]pyrimidine derivatives

In search of novel herbicides with high activity, a series of 2‐arylthio‐1,4,2,‐triazolo[1,5‐a]pyrimidines (3) were synthesized by cyclization of 5‐amino‐3‐arylthio‐1,2,4‐triazoles with 1, 3‐diketones or by the nucleophilic substitution of substituted thiophenols with 2‐methylsulfonyl‐l,2,4‐triazolo [1,5‐a]‐pyrimidine.

Similar molecular constitutions but different conformations and different supramolecular assemblies in two related fused tetracyclic benzo[b]pyrimido[5,4‐f]azepine derivatives

A simple and effective two‐step approach to tricyclic pyrimidine‐fused benzazepines has been adapted to give the tetracyclic analogues. In (RS)‐8‐chloro‐6‐methyl‐1,2,6,7‐tetrahydropyrimido[5′,4′:6,7]azepino[3,2,1‐hi]indole, C₁₅H₁₄ClN₃, (I), the five‐membered ring adopts an envelope conformation, as does the reduced pyridine ring in (RS)‐9‐chloro‐7‐methyl‐2,3,7,8‐tetrahydro‐1H‐pyrimido[5′,4′:6,7]azepino[3,2,1‐ij]quinoline, C₁₆H₁₆ClN₃, (II). However, the seven‐membered rings in (I) and (II) adopt very different conformations, with the result that the methyl substituent occupies a quasi‐axial site in (I) but a quasi‐equatorial site in (II). The molecules of (I) are linked by C—H...N hydrogen bonds to form C(5) chains and inversion‐related pairs of chains are linked by a π–π stacking interaction. A combination of a C—H...π hydrogen bond and two C—Cl...π interactions links the molecules of (II) into complex sheets. Comparisons are made with some similar fused heterocyclic compounds.
