The synthesis of new polyheterocycles containing the pyrimido[2,1-a]phthalazine system 5, 6 and 7 , obtained by condensation of phthalic anhydride with the appropriate hydrazides 2, 3 and 4 , respectively, are reported. It was also synthesized the 14H-[1]Benzothieno[3′,2′:4,5]pyrimido[2,1-a][1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-c]phthalazin-14-one (16).     

A simple synthesis of heterocyclic ring systems containing the 1,3-oxazine nucleus

An easy, one-step conversion of aldol adducts 1 into spiro-derivatives of partially hydrogenated [1,3]oxazino[2,3-a]isoquinoline 5 , [1,3]oxazino[2,3-a]phthalazine 6 and [1,3]oxazino[3,2-a]quinoline 7 is reported.     

A new method for the synthesis of fused 3-amino-s-triazole ring systems

Reaction of 2-methyl-2-thiopseudourea sulfate with 1-hydrazinophthalazine gave 3-amino-s-triazolo[3,4-a] phthalazine in good yield. 1-Amino-4-methyl-s-triazolo[4,3-a]quinoxaline and 1-amino-s-triazolo[4,3-a]quinoxalin-4(5H)one were similarly perpared.     

The reaction of 1-hydrazinophthalazine with phthalaldehydic acid. Occurrence of ring-chain tautomers

A reaction involving 1-hydrazinophthalazine (hydralazine, 1)designed to give a condensed heterocyclic system in which an eight membered ring is fused to phthalazine was investigated. With phthalaldehydic acid (2) the expected system was obtained. However, it occurs as an easily convertible mixture of ring-chain tautomers. It was found that the course of the reaction depends on the solvent. Thus, 6,7-dihydro-7-hydroxy-12H-phthalazino[2,1-b][2,4]benzodiazocin-12-one ( 5 ) and 2-(2-formylbenzoyl)-1-hydrazono-1,2-dihydrophthalazine ( 6 ) were the products of the reaction of 1 with 2 in aqueous medium. Upon prolonged standing this mixture converts into 3-(2-carboxyphenyl)-s-triazolo[3,4-a]phthalazine ( 8 ). In contrast, the isomeric ring-chain tautomers 2-(1-aminophthalazino)-3-hydroxy-1-oxoisoindole ( 12 ) and 1-[2-(2-formylbenzoyl)hydrazino]phthalazine ( 13 ) were formed when the reaction was run in ethanol as solvent.     

Ring closure reactions involving 1-hydrazinophthalazine. Reactions with 1,2,4-tricarbonyl and 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds

Annelation reactions of six-membered rings to 1-hydrazinophthalazine, 1, were investigated. With aroyl-(acyl)pyruvates, 2, the desired system was obtained. It was found that the course of the reaction depends on the reaction condition as well as the substituted pyruvates. Thus, 3-(2-oxo-2-substituted ethyl)-4H-as-triazino-[3,4-a]phthalazin-4-one, 4, was the product when 1 reacted with 2 in alcoholic medium. The side chain tauto-merism of 4 was studied by using ir, ¹H-nmr, and ms spectral methods. When 1 hydrochloride instead of 1 was reacted with 2, 3-ethoxycarbonyl-s-triazolo[3,4-a]phthalazine, 6, was the major product. The reaction of 1 with benzoylacetone in ethanol afforded the hydrazalone, 9. By ir, ¹H-nmr, and ¹³C-nmr methods it was shown that in solution it is inolved in an enhydrazine-hydrazone as well as a ring-chain tautomerism. Compound 9 upon the action of PPA underwent dehydrative cyclization to 3-methyl-s-triazolo[3,4-a]phthalazine, 10, and 3-methyl-5-phenyl-1-(l-phthalazinyl)pyrazole, 7. The reaction of 1 with ethyl phenylpropiolate in ethanol was reported by others to give 1-(1-phthalazinyl)-3-phenyl-5-pyrazolone, 8. Upon reinvestigation of this reaction it is shown that the product actually is ethyl β-(1-phthalazinylhydrazono)benzenepropanoate, 11. Attempts to synthesize 8 were unsuccessful by this method. In the reaction of 1 with ethyl benzoylacetate the expected hydralazone 11 was easily formed which upon reaction with PPA yielded the desired species 8.

Solid-phase synthesis of [1,2,4]triazolo[3,4-a]phthalazine and tetrazolo[5,1-a]phthalazine derivatives

A general method is reported for the solid-phase synthesis of [1,2,4]triazolo[3,4-a]phthalazine and tetrazolo[5,1-a]phthalazine derivatives based on the cyclization of resin-bound chlorophthalazines 4 with various hydrazides or sodium azide. The resin-bound chlorophthalazines 4, produced by nucleophilic aromatic substitution reaction of dichlorophthalazine with the secondary amine resins 2, served as the key intermediate for subsequent triazolophthalazine resins 6 and tetrazolophthalazine resins 8, which provided the desired products 7 and 9 in good yields and purities.     

Synthesis and antihypertensive properties of a novel series of 3-substituted amino-s-triazolo[3,4-α]phthalazine derivatives

A novel series of 3-substituted amino-s-triazolo[3,4-a]phthalazine derivatives has been synthesized by the one-pot cyclodesulfurization reactions utilizing 1-hydrazinophthalazine, alkyl, aryl, or aralkylisothiocyanates and dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCCD) mixtures. The products did not exhibit any antihypertensive properties. Their pmr and mass spectral analysis is given.

6-Allyl(diallyl, prop-2-yn-1-yl)amino-1-R-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-4(5H)-ones reacted with iodine to give angularly fused 8-iodomethyl-7,8-dihydro-1-R-imidazo[1,2-a]pyrazolo[4,3-e]pyrimidin-4(6H)-ones which were treated with sodium acetate to obtain 8-methylidene-1-R-7,8-dihydroimidazo[1,2-a]pyrazolo-[4,3-e]pyrimidin-4(6H)-ones as a result of elimination of hydrogen iodide. 8-Methylidene-1-R-7,8-dihydroimidazo[1,2-a]pyrazolo[4,3-e]pyrimidin-4(6H)-ones were converted into 8-methyl-1-R-imidazo[1,2-a]pyrazolo-[4,3-e]pyrimidin-4(5H)-ones on heating to the melting point. 8-Methylidene-1-phenyl-7,8-dihydroimidazo-[1,2-a]pyrazolo[4,3-e]pyrimidin-4(6H)-one underwent isomerization into linearly fused 6-methyl-1-phenyl-1,8-dihydro-4H-imidazo[1,2-a]pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-4-one on heating in sulfuric acid.     

Synthesis of pyrrolo[2,1‐a]phthalazines by 1,3‐dipolar cycloaddition of phthalazinium N‐ylides with alkenes in the presence of tetrakis‐pyridine cobalt (II) dichromate

We describe here, for the first time, that 1‐cyano‐3‐benzoyl‐1,2,3,10b‐tetrahydropyrrolo[2,1‐a]phthalazine (8), prepared by 1,3‐dipolar cycloaddition of 2‐phenacyl phthalazinium bromide ( 6a ) with acrylonitrile ( 7a ), can be aromatized by tetrakis‐pyridine cobalt (II) dichromate (TPCD) to give 1‐cyano‐3‐benzoylpyrrolo[2,1‐α]phthalazine ( 9a ) in good yield. Furthermore, a general and convenient one‐pot procedure for preparation of pyrrolo[2,1‐α]phthalazines ( 9a‐p ) was developed by 1,3‐dipolar cycloaddition of phthala zinium N‐ylides ( 6a‐c ) with alkenes ( 7a‐g ) in the presence of TPCD.

The reaction of 5a-acetyl-6-ethoxycarbonyl-5a,6a-dihydro-6H-cyclopropa[e]pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine-3-carbonitrile ( 1a ) with benzylamine gave ethyl l-benzyl-5-cyano-8a,9-dihydro-2-methyl-1H-pyrrolo[3,4-e]-pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine-8a-carboxylate ( 2a ), in addition to 5-acetyl-3-benzylamino-1-(4-cyanopyrazol-3-yl)- 2-pyridone ( 3 ). Reaction of 1a with aniline gave ethyl 6-acetyl-8-anilino-3-cyano-7,8-dihydro-4H-pyrazolo-[1,5-a][1,3]diazepine-8-carboxylate ( 4 ), in addition to ethyl 3-cyano-7-methyl-6-pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine-acrylate ( 5 ). On the other hand, the same reactions of 1b with benzylamine or aniline gave 2b or 8b , respectively. Though catalytic hydrogenation of 1a over 5% palladium-carbon proceeded by ring fission of cyclopropane ring to give 9 , 1a (or 1b ) afforded 4,5-dihydro derivatives ( 13 or 15 ) by catalytic hydrogenation over platinum oxide. The reactivity of 5-methoxy-4,5,5a,6a-tetrahydro-6H-cyclopropa[e]pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine ( 16 ), which are related analogs of 1a,b , is also described.

Methods for the synthesis of substituted pyrimido [4,5-a]- and pyrido[4,3-a]carbazoles were proposed. Condensation of 2-(dimethylaminomethylene)-6-methyl-2,3,4,9-tetrahydro-1H-carbazol-1-one with guanidine and thiourea afforded 2-amino-8-methyl-6,11-dihydro-5H-pyrimido[4,5-a]carbazole and 8-methyl-3,5,6,11-tetrahydro-2H-pyrimido[4,5-a]carbazole-2-thione, respectively. The reaction of cyano(6-methyl-2,3,4,9-tetrahydro-1H-carbazol-1-ylidene)acetamide with dimethylformamide dimethyl acetal gave N-(dimethylamino-methylene)cyano(6-methyl-2,3,4,9-tetrahydro-1H-carbazol-1-ylidene)acetamide. Cyclization of the latter yielded 1-cyano-8-methyl-3,5,6,11-tetrahydro-2H-pyrido[4,3-a]carbazol-2-one.__________Published in Russian in Izvestiya Akademii Nauk.

A series of pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrido[3,4-e]pyrimidin-6-ones was obtained by reaction of ammonium acetate with ethyl 7-dimethylaminovinylpyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine-6-carboxylates and these had been prepared from ethyl 7-methylpyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine-6-carboxylates by reaction with dimethylformamide dimethylacetal. Under these conditions the compounds bearing a 2-hydroxy group were also O-alkylated.

Photocyclization of 3-chloro-N-phenylbenzo[b]thiophene-2-carboxamide 10 afforded [1]benzothieno[2,3-c]-quinolin-6(5H)-one 11 which was chlorinated to 6-chloro[1]benzothieno[2,3-c]quinoline 12 followed by dechlorination to give [1]benzothieno[2,3-c]quinoline 5 . A series of 6-substituted alkoxy and thioalkoxy[1]benzothieno[2,3-c]quinoline derivatives were prepared along with the N-methyl quaternary salt 13 of 5 . 6-Chloro[1]-benzothieno[2,3-c]quinoline 12 was converted into 6-hydrazino[1]benzothieno[2,3-c]quinoline 23 which upon treatment with formic acid yielded [1]benzothieno[2,3-c][1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]quinoline 6 . Treatment of 23 with nitrous acid resulted in [1]benzothieno[2,3-c]tetrazolo[1,5-a]quinoline 7 . Compounds 6 and 7 are novel heterocyclic ring systems.     

Reactivity of 7-(2-dimethylaminovinyl)pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidines: Synthesis of pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrido[3,4-e]pyrimidine derivatives as potential benzodiazepine receptor ligands. 1

A series of 7-methylpyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidines were reacted with dimethylformamide dimethylacetal to give the corresponding dimethylaminovinyl derivatives. These were reacted with ammonium acetate affording, through a ring closure, a number of 6-methylpyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrido[3,4-e]pyrimidines bearing various substituents on the pyrazole ring. The 6-acetyl-2-hydroxy-7-methylpyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine was used as starting material for obtaining some O-alkyl derivatives. Catalytic transfer hydrogenation of 2-benzyloxy-6-methylpyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrido[3,4-e]pyrimidine led to the 2-hydroxy derivative.     

Water and the Huisgen Cycloaddition Reaction: A Focus on Polar Contributions to the Transition State in the Reactions of Dicyano(phthalazinium)methanide with Substituted Styrenes and Benzylidene Acetones

Synthetic and kinetic studies on the 1,3‐dipolar cycloaddition reactions of dicyano(phthalazin‐2‐ium‐2‐yl)methanide ( 1 ) with some substituted styrenes and ‘benzylidene acetones’ in MeCN and H₂O containing 10 mol‐% of MeCN are reported. The kinetic data were supported by theoretical calculations. The major products from styrenes were exo‐2‐aryl‐1,2,3,10b‐tetrahydropyrrolo[2,1‐a]phthalazine‐3,3‐dicarbonitriles 3 , and, from ‘benzylidene acetones’, 1‐endo,2‐exo‐2‐acetyl‐1‐aryl‐1,2,3,10b‐tetrahydropyrrolo[2,1‐a]phthalazine‐3,3‐dicarbonitriles 7 . There was no indication that the cycloadditon transition states were more polar in the aqueous environment than in MeCN.

Treatment of 19 successively with chlorotrimethylsilane, N-chlorosuccinimide and water gave 10-oxo-10H-pyrido[1,2-a]thieno[3,4-d]pyrimidine-7-carboxylic acid ( 17 ). Methyl tetrahydro-3-oxo-2-thiophenecarboxylate ( 21 ) was converted to 10-oxo-10H-pyrido[1,2-a]thieno[3,2-d]pyrimidine-7-carboxylic acid ( 25 ) by an analogous route.     

Synthesis and reactions of 1,2-fused 3-cyanoindolizines

With the intention that annulation of carbo- or heteroaromatic rings at the 1,2-positions can activate 3-cyanoindolizines as 1,3-dipolar species, 6-cyanobenz[a]indolizines, pyridazino[4,5-a]indolizines and 5-cyano-1,3-diphenylthiopheno[3,4-a]indolizine were prepared. 6-Cyanobenz[a]indolizines smoothly -underwent 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition on to dibenzoylacetylene and diacetylacetylene to afford the corresponding indolizino[3,4,5-ab]isoindoles, whereas 5-cyano-1,4-diphenylpyridazino[4,5-a]indolizine reacted with dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate to give the 1:2 adduct. Only a 3% yield of 5-cyano-1,3-diphenylthiopheno[3,4-a]indolizine formed upon phosphorus pentasulfide treatment of 1,2-dibenzoyl-3-cyanoindolizine.
