Synthesis of 6′-carbamoylmethylthio-5′-cyano-1′,4′-dihydro-3,4′-bipyridine-3′-carboxylic and 6′-carbamoylmethylthio-5′-cyano-1′,4′-dihydro-4,4′-bipyridine-3′-carboxylic esters and investigation of their stability. 2. Esters of 6′-carbamoylmethyl-thio-5′-cyano-1′,4′-dihydro-4,4′-bipyridine-3-carboxylic acids

The stability of solutions of esters of 6′-carbamoylmethylthio-5′-cyano-2′-methyl-1′,4′-dihydro-4,4′-bipyridine-3′-carboxylic acids was investigated by HPLC. The corresponding esters of 6′-carbamoylmethylthio-5′-cyano-4,4′-bipyridine-3′-carboxylic acids,esters of 8-cyano-5-methyl-3-oxo-7-(4-pyridyl)-2,3-dihydro-7H-thiazolo-[3,2-a]pyridine-6-carboxylic acids, methyl 3-amino-2-carbamoyl-6-methyl-4-(4-pyridyl)-4,7-dihydrothieno[2,3-b]pyridine-5-carboxylate, and methyl 3-amino-2-carbamoyl-6-methyl-4-(4-pyridyl)-thieno[2,3-b]pyridine-5-carboxylate were synthesized as standard compounds (typical impurities). Analysis by HPLC was realized under the conditions of reverse-phase chromatography. It was established that solutions of the investigated compounds (with mixtures of acetonitrile with phosphate buffer, having pH values of not less than 3 and not more than 5, as solvents) are stable for one month when the solutions are stored in a place protected against light. It is also necessary to use chromatographic systems in which the aqueous components have pH 3–5 during determination of the purity of the esters of 6′-carbamoylmethylthio-5′-cyano-2′-methyl-1′,4′-dihydro-4, 4′-bipyridine-3′-carboxylic acid by HPLC in order to separate the analyzed sorbates and their typical impurities more completely. __________ Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 6, pp. 841–848, June, 2007.

Synthesis and investigation of the stability of esters of 6′-carbamoylmethylthio-5′-cyano-1′,4′-dihydro-3,4′-and-4,4′-bipyridine-3′-carboxylic acids 1. Esters of 6′-carbamoylmethylthio-5′-cyano-1′,4′-dihydro-3,4′-bipyridine-3′-carboxylic acids

Esters of 6′-carbamoylmethylthio-5′-cyano-1′,4′-dihydro-3,4′-bipyridine-3′-carboxylic acids are obtained by the alkylation of piperidinium 3′-alkoxycarbonyl-5′-cyano-1′,4′-dihydro-3,4′-bipyridine-6′-thiolates with iodoacetamide. For an HPLC study of the stability of solutions of the abovementioned 1,4-dihydrobipyridines (solution pH 2.3–9.0) the appropriate esters of 6′-carbamoylmethylthio-5′-cyano-3,4′-bipyridine-3′-carboxylic acids and esters of 8-cyano-5-methyl(or phenyl)-3-oxo-7-pyridin-3-yl-2,3-dihydro-7H-thiazolo[3,2-a]pyridine-6-carboxylic acids were synthesized as reference compounds. Analysis by HPLC was carried out under conditions of reverse-phase chromatography. It was shown that solutions of the investigated compounds in a mixture of acetonitrile and phosphate buffer (pH 3.0–5.0) were stable for 1 month on storage protected from light. Under the action of light in all the solutions investigated irrespective of pH the formation occurs of the corresponding esters of 6′-carbamoylmethylthio-5′-cyano-3,4′-bipyridine-3′-carboxylic acids. The presence of esters of 8-cyano-5-methyl(or phenyl)-3-oxo-7-pyridin-3-yl-2,3-dihydro-7H-thiazolo[3,2-a]pyridine-6-carboxylic acids (no more than 4%) was detected only in 0.1% solutions of phosphoric acid (pH 2.3) under conditions of storage of the latter protected from light. A series of as yet unidentified products was detected in solutions of pH 7.0–9.0. Dedicated to E.

Synthesis and transformations of 3-(1H-pyrrol-1-yl)thieno[2,3-b]pyridines

Reactions of 2,5-dimethoxytetrahydrofuran with 3-aminothieno[2,3-b]pyridines afford a number of substituted 3-(1H-pyrrol-1-yl)thieno[2,3-b]pyridines. The possibility of the reaction and the yield of the product are determined by the character of a substituent in position 2 of thieno[2,3-b]pyridine.

New Cu(II), Co(II), and Ni(II) complexes with thieno[2,3-b]pyridine and 2-methylthieno[2,3-b]pyridine as ligands: Synthesis and crystal structures

Although thienopyridines attract attention because of their biological activities, they have not been used as ligands in coordination compounds. Thieno[2,3-b]pyridine was prepared by known procedures; by reduction of 2-nitrothiophene, and reaction of the resulting 2-thienyl ammonium salt with malondialdehyde tetramethylacetal in the presence of zinc chloride. The same procedure was used for the preparation of a new derivative, 2-methylthieno[2,3-b]pyridine, starting from 2-methyl-5-nitrothiophene. The thienopyridines were used in the synthesis of coordination compounds. Chlorides, isothiocyanates, acetates, and chloroacetates of copper(II), nickel(II), or cobalt(II) were used as starting salts. The prepared complexes were characterized by elemental analysis and FT IR. Structures of the four complexes were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis.
