The synthesis of pyrimido[4,5-c]pyridazines and pyrimido[5,4-c]pyridazines

The Hofmann reaction on 6-methylpyridazine-3,4-dicarboxamide (1) gave a mixture of 3-methylpyrimido[4,5-c]pyridazine-5,7-dione (2), 3-methylpyrimido[5,4-c]pyridazine-6,8-dione (3) and an acid (4) of unknown structure. The Hofmann reaction on pyridazine-3,4-dicarboxamide (9) gave a mixture of pyrimido[4,5-c]pyridazine-5,7-dione ( 10 ) and an acid ( 11 ) of unknown structure. The reaction of 3-amino-6-methylpyridazine-4-carboxamide ( 18 ) with ethyl orthoformate gave 3-methylpyrimido[4,5-c]pyridazin-5-one ( 21 ). 4-Aminopyridazine-3-carboxamide ( 36 ) upon fusion with urea gave pyrimido[5,4-c]pyridazine-6,8-dione ( 37 ) while with ethyl orthoformate 36 gave pyrimido[5,4-c]pyridazin-8-one ( 38 ). Pyrimido[5,4-c]-pyridazine-8-thione ( 39 ) was obtained by the action of phosphorus pentasulfide on 38. 4-Amino-3-cyanopyridazine ( 16 ) when treated with formamide produced 8-aminopyrimido[5,4-c]-pyridazine ( 41 ). The synthesis of 4-aminopyridazine-3-carboxamide ( 36 ) and 4-amino-3-cyanopyridazine ( 16 ), both key intermediates in the synthesis of the novel pyrimido[5,4-c]pyridazine ring system was accomplished by the Reissert reaction of 4-aminopyridazine-2-oxides and subsequent conversion of the nitrile to the amide.     

The synthesis of pyridazino[4,5-d] pyridazines,pyrazino [2,3-d] pyridazines and a pyrimido [4,5-d] pyridazine

The synthetic chemistry of the relatively unknown pyridazino [4,5-d]pyridazine ring system has been extended. 1,4-Diaminopyridazino [4,5-d]pyridazine (VIII) has been prepared by two routes, the most interesting of these being the one-step conversion of 4,5-dicyanopyridazine into VIII with hydrazine. Upon nitration VIII gave only the mononitramine (X). Attempts to prepare 1,4-dichloropyridazino [4,5-d]pyridazine gave only 4-chloro-2H-pyridazino [4,5-d]pyridazin-1-one (XII). Pyrimido [4,5-d]pyridazine-1,3-dione (XIV) was prepared from pyridazine-4,5-dicarboxamide (IV). The hydrolysis of 5,8-dichloropyrazino [2,3-d]pyridazine (XV) gave 5-chloropyrazino [2,3-d]pyridazin-8-one (XVII) and likewise the ammonolysis of XV gave 5-amino-8-chloropyrazino [2,3-d]pyridazine (XX). As expected the hydrolysis of 5,8-dibromo-pyrazino [2,3-d]pyridazine (XXI) gave 5-bromopyrazino [2,3-d]pyridazin-8-one (XXII). Attempted catalytic dechlorination of 5-chloropyrazino [2,3-d]pyridazin-8-one (XVII) gave 1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyrazino [2,3-d]pyridazin-5-one (XIX).     

Synthesis of imidazo[4,5-d]pyridazine nucleosides related to inosine

Several imidazo[4,5-d]pyridazine nucleosides which are structurally similar to inosine were synthesized. Anhydrous stannic chloride-catalyzed condensation of persilylated imidazo[4,5-d]-pyridazin-4(5H)one (1) and imidazo[4,5-d]pyridazine-4,7(5H,6H)dione ( 16 ) with 1-O-acetyl-2,3,5-tri-O-benzoyl-β-D-ribofuranose ( 3 ) provided (after sodium methoxide deblocking) 6-β-D-ribo furanosylimidazo[4,5-d]pyridazin-4(5H)one (5) and 3,6-di-(β-D-ribofuranosyI)imidazo[4,5-d]pyridazin-4-one ( 7 ); and 1-(β-D-ribofuranosyl)imidazo[4,5-d]pyridazine-4,7(5H,6H)dione ( 19 ) and 1,5 or 6-di-(β-D-ribofuranosyl)imidazo[4,5-d ]pyridazine-4,7(5H or 6H)dione ( 21 ), respeeitvely. 4,7-Diehloro-1-β-D-ribofuranosylimidazo[4,5-d]pyridazine ( 12 ) and dimethyl 1-β-D-ribofuranosylimidazole-4,5-dicarboxylate ( 26 ), both prepared from stannic chloride-catalyzed ribosylations of the corresponding heterocycles, were converted in several steps to 3-β-D-ribo-furanosy limidazo[4,5-d]pyridazin-4(5H)one ( 14 ) and nucleosidc 19 , respectively. Acid-catalyzed isopropylidenation of mesomeric betaine 7 or nuclcoside 14 provided 3-(2,3-isopropylidene-β-D-ribofuranosyl)imidazo[4,5-d]pyrizin-4(5H)one ( 31 ). 1-β-D-Ribofuranosylimidazo[4,5-d]-pyridazine ( 29 ) was obtained in several steps from nueleoside 12 . The structure of the nucleosides was established by the use of carbon-13 and proton nmr.     

[1] Benzofuro [2,3-d] pyridazines II. Etude des benzofuropyridazones

The synthesis of 1,2-dihydro[1]benzofuro[2,3-d]pyridazin-1-one and 3,4-dihydro [1]benzofuro[2,3-d]pyridazin-4-one was accomplished by the eyclization of appropriately carbonyl-substituted benzofuran derivatives. Another successful synthetic route was provided using 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro[1]benzofuro[2,3-d]pyridazine-1,4 dione and 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro[1]benzofuro[2,3-d]pyridazin-4-one. The structure of a nitrobenzofuropyridazin-4-one was established using nmr and the nuclear Overhauser effect.     

Pyridazines. XXXV. Preparation of some novel pyrimido[4,5-c]pyridazine derivatives from 3-alkylamino- and 3-arylamino-4-pyridazinecarboxamides

Facile syntheses of pyrimido[4,5-c]pyridazine-5,7(6H,8H)diones 4 , pyrimido[4,5-c]pyridazin-5(8H)-ones 7–10 , and dihydropyrimido[4,5-c]pyridazin-5(6H)ones 5,6 starting from 3-chloro-4-pyridazinecarbonitrile 1 via aminocarbonitriles 2 and aminocarboxamides 3 are described. In addition, a convenient access to the new aminopyridazinecarbonitrile 11 from the chloronitrile 1, employing the tetrazolo[1,5-b]pyridazine 12 as the key intermediate, is reported.     

Directed regiospecificity of 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of 2-diazopropane to 4- and 5-substituted pyridazin-3(2H)-ones

6-Methoxy-2-methylpyridazin-3(2H)-one ( 1 ) gave with 2-diazopropane ( 8 ) a mixture of 3H-pyrazolo[3,4-d]-pyridazin-4(5H)-one derivative 12 , as the main product, and -7(6H)-one derivative 10 , as the minor product. On the other hand, 4-substituted pyridazin-3(2H)-ones 2, 3 , and 4 gave 3H-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyridazin-7(6H)-one 10 , exclusively, while 5-substituted pyridazin-3(2H)-ones 5, 6 , and 7 produced only the isomeric 3H-pyrazolo[3,4-H]pyridazin-4(5H)-one 12 . The 5-phenylsulfonyl derivative 13 gave with 8 by elimination of a molecule of nitrogen, followed by rearrangement, 1,2-diazepine derivative 15 and with an excess of 8 3H-pyrazolo[3,4-d][1,2]diazepine derivative 16. 1 ,2-Dimethylpyridazine-3,6-(1H,2H)-dione and its derivatives 18 and 19 produced 3H-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyridazine-4,7(5H,6H)-dione derivative 23 , while from 17 and 1-diazoindane ( 24 ) the spiro compound 27 was obtained. The 1,2-dihydro and 3a,7a-dihydro intermediates 21 and 25 were isolated.     

Synthesis of 1,2,3-thiadiazolo[4,5-d] pyridazines,A new heterocyclic ring system

A method was developed for the synthesis of 5-carbethoxy-4-formyl-1,2,3-thiadiazole (I), its isomer (II); 5-benzoyl-4-formyl-1,2,3-thiadiazole (III), and its isomer (IV). It was demonstrated that although compounds I, III and IV with hydrazine gave 7H-1,2,3-thiadiazolo[4,5-d]-pyridazin-7-one (XXII), 7-phenyl-1,2,3-thiadiazolo[4,5-d]pyridazine (XXIII) and 4-phenyl-1,2,3-thiadiazolo[4,5-d]pyridazine (XXV), respectively; however, compound I gave its corresponding hydrazone (XXIV).     

Synthesis and biological evaluation of certain 4-alkylamino and 4-arylalkylamino derivatives of the imidazo[4,5-d]pyridazine and v-triazolo[4,5-d]pyridazine ring systems

Certain 4-alkylamino and 4-arylalkylamino derivatives of the imidazo- and v-triazolo[4,5-d]pyridazine ring systems were prepared and evaluated against two human colon carcinomas (DLD-1 and HCT-15) and one human lung carcinoma (LX-1), in vitro. 4-Methylthioimidazo[4,5-d]pyridazine ( 1 ) and 4-methylthio-v-triazolo-[4,5-d]pyridazine ( 9 ) served as precursors to the title compounds. Treatment of these heterocycles with the appropriate amine (ammonia, methylamine, dimethylamine, benzylamine and hydrazine) provided the desired derivatives of that ring system. 4-AIP ( 2 ) and 2-aza-4-AIP ( 10 ) served as precursors to the 4-dimethylaminomethyleneamino derivatives 6 and 14 , respectively. Likewise, the 4-hydrazino analogs ( 7 and 15 ) served as intermediates in the syntheses of benzaldehyde-p-[bis(2-chloroethyl)amino]amino[4,5-d]-pyridazin-4-yl-hydrazone ( 8 ) and benzaldehyde-p-[bis(2-chloroethyl)amino]amino-v-triazolo[4,5-d]pyridazin-4-yl-hydrazone ( 16 ), respectively.     

Thermal decompositions of dinitropyridyl and dinitrothienyl dithiocarbamates and t-butyl trithiocarbonates

The title compounds on heating cyclized to yield 7-nitro-1,3-dithiolo[4,5-c]pyridin-2-one (III), 6-nitro-1,3-dithiolo[2,3-c]pyridin-2-one (VIIa), 6-nitrothieno[2,3-d]-1,3-dithiol-2-one (XIVa) and 6-nitrothteno[2,3-d]-1,3-dithiole-2-thione (XIVb).     

Purines, pyrimidines, and related fused systems. 21. Oxidative amination of 3-chloro-6,8-dimethylpyrimido[4,5-c]pyridazine-5,7(6H,8H)-dione

Oxidative amination of 3-chloro-6,8-dimethylpyrimido[4,5-c]pyridazine-5,7(6H,8H)-dione with primary alkylamines and potassium amide in liquid ammonia gives rise to the corresponding 4-amino derivatives as the major products. The reactions with acyclic secondary amines are accompanied by annelation of the pyrrole moiety to the starting heterosystem to form 1-R-3-R"-6,8-dimethylpyrrolo[2",3";3,4]pyrimido[4,5-c]pyridazine-7,9(6H,8H)-diones. The reaction with piperidine as the aminating agent occurs exclusively as aminodehalogenation. The Sonogashira cross-coupling of 4-amino-3-chloro-6,8-dimethylpyrimido[4,5-c]pyridazine-5,7(6H,8H)-diones with terminal alkynes affords 1-R-2-R"-6,8-dimethylpyrrolo[3",2";3,4]pyrimido[4,5-c]pyridazine-7,9(6H,8H)-diones.     

A new approach to the synthesis of pyridazino[4,5-c]pyridazinones

The reaction of 5-hydrazinopyridazin-3(2H)-ones 1 with α-keto diester 2 in acetic acid afforded the corresponding 4,6-dihydropyridazino[4,5-c]pyridazin-5(1H)-ones 3 and pyrrolo[2,3-d)pyridazin-4(5H)-ones 4 . Compounds 3 were also obtained from 4-bromo-5-hydrazinopyridazin-3(2H)-ones 8 and 2 under milder conditions. 5-Bromo-4-hydrazinopyridazin-3(2H)-one 9 , the regioisomer of 8b , also reacted readily with 2a to give 4,7-dihydropyridazino[4,5-c]pyridazin-8(1H)-one 10b , the regioisomer of 3b .     

Pyrrolopyridazine nucleosides. The synthesis of certain 1-β-D-ribofuranosyl-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyridazin-4(5H)-ones

Nucleosides of pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyridazin-4(5H)-ones were prepared by the single-phase sodium salt glycosylation of appropriately functionalized pyrrole precursors. The glycosylation of the sodium salt of ethyl 4,5-dichloro-2-formyl-1H-pyrrole-3-carboxylate ( 4 ), or its azomethino derivative 7 , with 1-bromo-2,3,5-tri-O-benzoyl-D-ribofuranose in acetonitrile afforded the corresponding substituted pyrrole nucleosides ethyl 4,5-dichloro-2-formyl-1-(2,3,5-tri-O-benzoyl-β-D-ribofuranosyl)-1H-pyrrole-3-carboxylate ( 5 ) and ethyl 4,5-dichloro-2-phenylazomethino-1-(2,3,5-tri-O-benzoyl-β-D-ribofuranosyl)-1H-pyrrole-3-carboxylate ( 8 ), respectively. The latter, upon treatment with hydrazine, afforded the annulated product 2,3-dichloro-1-β-D-ribofuranosyl-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyridazin-4(5H)-one ( 6 ), in good yield. The unsubstituted analog 1-β-D-ribofuranosyl-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyridazin-4(5H)-one ( 9 ), was obtained upon catalytic dehalogenation of 6 . This report represents the first example of the synthesis of nucleosides of pyrrolopyridazines.     

Synthesis of methyl 7-aryl-6-(2-thenoyl)-4,7-dihydro-tetrazolo[1,5-<Emphasis Type="Italic">a</Emphasis>]pyrimidine-5-carboxylates and their reaction with hydrazine hydrate

Fusion of methyl 4-(2-thienyl)-2,4-dioxobutanoate with 1H-tetrazol-5-amine monohydrate and aromatic aldehyde gave methyl 7-aryl-6-(2-thenoyl)-4,7-dihydrotetrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine-5-carboxylates which reacted with an equimolar amount of hydrazine hydrate at 180–190°C under solvent-free conditions to produce 9-aryl-8-(2-thienyl)-4,9-dihydrotetrazolo[1′,5′: 1,2]pyrimido[4,5-d]pyridazin-5(6H)-ones.     

S-demethylation of nitrogen heterocycles

When 3-chloro-4,5-diaminopyridazine ( 2 ) was treated with sodium methylmercaptide in refluxing N,N-dimethylformamide, two heterocycles were formed and isolated, neither of which was the expected 3-methylthio-4,5-diaminopyridazine ( 3 ). A thorough spectral analysis of these heterocycles showed them to be 4-methylthioimidazo[4,5-d]pyridazine ( 5 ) and imidazo[4,5-d]pyridazine-4-thione ( 6 ). N,N-Dimethylformamide was found to provide the one carbon unit required for the formation of 5. The origin of 6 was shown to be a result of S-demethylation of 5. S-Demethylation of 3 could also be effected with sodium methylmercaptide in methyl sulfoxide without the occurrence of annulation. In methyl sulfoxide the process of demethylation was accelerated and occurred at lower temperature.     

Pyrrolopyrimidines. 5. Reaction of 6-Amino-1,3-dimethylpyrrolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine-2,4(1H,3H)-diones with 1,3-Diketones

The reaction of 6-amino-1,3-dimethylpyrrolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine-2,4-dione with 1,3-diketones leads to formation of predominantly pyrimido[4',5':3,4]pyrrolo[1,2-b]pyridazine-2,4(1H,3H)-diones and, to a lesser extent, pyrimido[5',4':3,4]pyrrolo[1,2-b]pyridazine-1,3(2H,4H)-diones. The ease and direction of the cyclization reaction suggests a very -electron rich pyrrole ring in the initial state, especially in the position 7.     

Synthesis and antimicrobial activity of new derivatives of pyrano[4',3':4',5']pyrido[3',2':4,5]thieno[3,2-d]pyrimidine and new heterocyclic systems

Taking into account previously obtained biological results on some polyheterocyclic compounds (containing different heteroatoms) and in particular on several 8-amino-5-isopropyl-2,2-dimethyl-10-(methylthio)-1,4-dihydro-2H-pyrano[4’’,3’’:4’,5’]pyrido[3’,2’:4,5]thieno[3,2-d]pyrimidines Ia-v we have carried out the synthesis of twentyone 8-amino-5-isobutyl-2,2-dimethyl-10-(methylthio)-1,4-dihydro-2H-pyrano[4’’,3’’:4’,5’]pyrido[3’,2’:4,5]thieno[3,2-d]pyrimidines 6. Therefore we have slightly modified the structure of the previously studied I introducing at C-5 an isobutyl group instead of the previously examined isopropyl ones in order to see if this variation (changing a little the lipophilicity) will affect the biological activity. Furthermore thieno[3,2-d]pyrimidine-8-thione 7 and their S-alkylated 8 were synthesized. Finally by alkylation of 5-isobutyl-2,2-dimethyl-10-thioxo-1,4,10,11-tetrahydro-2H-pyrano[4'',3'':4',5']pyrido[3',2':4,5]thieno[3,2-d]pyrimidin-8(9H)-one 3 with alkyl dichlorides (bifunctional reagents) we realized the cyclization of a thiazole or thiazine ring on the [b] side of the pyrimidine ring with formation of the new condensed pentaheterocyclic systems: pyrano[4'',3'':4',5']pyrido[3',2':4,5]thieno[3,2-d][1,3]thiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidin-8-one 11 and pyrano[4''',3''':4'',5'']pyrido[3'',2'':4',5']thieno[3',2':4,5]pyrimido[2,1-b][1,3]thiazin-8-one 12. It was found that some of the synthesized compounds showed interesting antimicrobial activity (by agar diffusion method) against some gram-positive and gram-negative bacilli strains.     

Purines,pyrimidines, and related fused systems. 19. Use of S N H methodology for the synthesis of a new heterocyclic system,pyrrolo[3",2":3,4]pyrimido[4,5-c]pyridazine

Sonogashira cross-coupling of 3-chloro-6,8-dimethylpyrimido[4,5-c]pyridazine-5,7(6H,8H)-dione with terminal alkynes afforded the corresponding 3-(alkyn-1-yl) derivatives. Oxidative amination of the latter compounds with primary alkylamines was accompanied by heterocyclization to give 6,8-dimethylpyrrolo[3",2":3,4]pyrimido[4,5-c]pyridazine-7,9(6H,8H)-diones.     

Synthesis and anticonvulsant activity of 3H-imidazo[4,5-c]-pyridazine, 1H-imidazo[4,5-d]pyridazine and 1H-benzimidazole analogues of 9-(2-fluorobenzyl)-6-methylamino-9H-purine

The 3H-imidazo[4,5-c]pyridazine, 1H-imidazo[4,5-d]pyridazine, and 1H-benzimidazole analogues of the potent anticonvulsant purine 9-(2-fluorobenzyl)-6-methylamino-9H-purine (1, 78U79) were synthesized and tested for anticonvulsant activity. The 3H-imidazo[4,5-c]pyridazines 8 and 9 were prepared in five stages from 3,4,5-trichloropyridazine (2) . The 1H-imidazolo[4,5-d]pyridazine 15 was synthesized in four stages from 5-[(benzyloxy)methyl]-1,5-dihydro-4H-imidazo[4,5-d] pyridazin-4-one (10a) . The benz-imidazole analogues 18 and 20 were prepared from 2,6-dinitroaniline in three stages. These compounds were one-tenth or less as active as 1 in protecting rats against maximal electroshock-induced seizures.     

Synthesis of 4-hydrazino-5H-pyrimido[5,4-b]indole and related compounds

This paper describes the synthesis of two 4-amino-5H-pyrimido[5,4-b]indoles 5 , 4-hydrazino-5H-pyrimido[5,4-b]indole 6 , two 1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-c]pyrimido[5,4-b]indoles 8 , and tetrazolo[4,5-c]pyrimido[5,4-b]indole 10 . Starting with ethyl 3-aminoindole-2-carboxylate 1 , 5H-pyrimido[5,4-b]indol-4-one 2 was obtained (80%) by condensing with formamide. Reactions of 2 with phosphorus oxychloride and phosphorus pentasulfide gave respectively, 4-chloro-5H-pyrimido[5,4-b]indole 3 (70%) and 5H-pyrimido[5,4-b]indole-4-thione 4 (80%). Compound 3 reacted with amines (morpholine, piperidine) to give the respective 4-amino-5H-pyrimido[5,4-b]-indoles 5 , and compound 4 reacted with hydrazine to give 4-hydrazino-5H-pyrimido[5,4-b]indole 6 (80%). Two hydrazones of 6 (benzylidene, isopropylidene) 7 were also prepared (90%). Compound 6 reacted with formic and acetic acids to give (65–75%) the respective 1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-c]pyrimido[5,4-b]indoles 8 and with nitrous acid to give tetrazolo[4,5-c]pyrimido[5,4-b]indole 9 (85%). All the new compounds 2 to 9 were characterized by elemental analysis and spectral data (ir, nmr).     

On the chemistry of pyridazines,XXXVI: Novel diaza-analogs of 10,11-dihydro-5H-dibenzo[a,d]cyclohepten-5-one
