Synthesis of 6,8-substituted derivatives of imidazo[5,1-c][1,2,4]triazines and 1,4-dihydroimidazo[5,1-c][1,2,4]triazin-4-ones

The cyclization of imidazolylhydrazines, synthesized from 5-diazoimidazoles and cyanoacetic acid derivatives, to 4-aminoimidazo[5,1-c][1,2,4]triazines and imidazo[5,1-c][1,2,4]triazin-4-ones has been studied. It was established that electron-withdrawing substituents at position 4 of the imidazole ring had a weak effect on the cyclization process. On the other hand, electron-donating substituents at positions 4 or 2 of this ring inhibited and in some cases completely prevented the formation of bicyclic products.Urals State Technical University (UPI), Ekaterinburg 620002, Russia.

Synthetic procedure to pyrido[2,1-f][1,2,4]triazinium salt and related compounds

N-aminopyridyl ketone salts were reacted with formamide to yield heteroaromatic pyrido[2,1-f][1,2,4]triazinium salts. Upon storage of these products in the presence of water, formation of covalent hydrates have been observed. Reaction of the same starting compound with urethane yielded 3-chloropyrido[2,1-f][1,2,4]triazinium salt which readily reacted with secondary amines to afford 3-amino derivatives. An analogous ring closure reaction of 2-formylaminomethyl- and formaminobenzylpyridine allowed the synthesis of the partially reduced 3,4-dihydropyrido[2,1-f][1,2,4]triazinium compounds. The cyclization procedure was also applied for the synthesis of the related pyrimido[2,1-f][1,2,4]triazinium salt.     

A novel method for the synthesis of imidazo[5,1-f][1,2,4]triazin-4(3H)-ones

[reaction: see text] Imidazo[5,1-f][1,2,4]triazinones, as isosteres of purine, are of interest for pharmaceutical research. The syntheses reported in the literature generally require several steps. We report a novel method to access a broad range of diversely substituted derivatives. The key step is the electrophilic N-amination of 3H-imidazoles containing a 4-carbonyl group. Several different substituted imidazoles have been N-aminated in this manner. The resulting N-aminoimidazoles were cyclized under different conditions to the corresponding imidazotriazinones, which allowed for additional diversification. This novel method was applied in a formal synthesis of vardenafil, a well-known representative of this class of compounds. Furthermore, we report the first synthesis of a 7-aryl-imidazotriazinone via bromination of an unsubstituted imidazotriazinone followed by a Suzuki coupling.     

New application of heterocyclic diazonium salts. Synthesis of pyrazolo[3,4-d][1,2,3]triazin-4-ones and imidazo[4,5-d][1,2,3]triazin-4-ones

The pyrazolo[3,4-d][1,2,3]triazin-4-ones 3 and imidazo[4,5-d][1,2,3]triazin-4-ones 4 are analogs structurally related to purines that have showed a wide and significant variety of biological activity. These compounds were synthesized by one-pot diazotization of 5-amino-1H-pyrazole-4-carbonitriles 1 and 5-amino-1H-imidazole-4-carbonitriles 2, respectively.     

A convenient method for the synthesis of 7-amino-substituted 1,2,4-triazolo[1,5-a][1,3,5]triazin-5-amines

A new practical synthesis of 7-amino-substituted 1,2,4-triazolo[1,5-a][1,3,5]triazin-5-amines is developed. The triazine ring closure of 5-guanidino-3-phenyl-1,2,4-triazole with trichloroacetonitrile proceeds chemo- and regioselectively depending on the nature of the solvent. Conducting the reaction in toluene provided 7-trichloromethyl-1,2,4-triazolo[1,5-a][1,3,5]triazin-5-amine as the product, which can be further aminated efficiently with replacement of the trichloromethyl group.     

Formation of a new ring system: Tetrazolo[5,1-f][1,2]azaborinin

Phenothiazinyldienes obtained from tetrazolopyridinium salts and phenothiazine derivatives were subjected to reduction by borane-dimethyl sulfide in THF. Structure elucidation of the products revealed that one of the olefinic bond underwent reduction and, furthermore, borane addition at the double bond took place to yield derivatives of tetrazolo[5,1-f][1,2]azaborinin as a new fused ring system involving a bridge-head nitrogen atom. The new products have been synthesized and characterized by X-ray analysis, solution and solid-state NMR.

Synthesis of 1,4-dihydroimidazo[5,1-c]-1,2,4-triazin-4-ones and imidazo[5,1-c]-1,2,4-triazoles

Azo compounds obtained by the coupling of 5-diazoimidazoles with diethyl esters of nitro-, chloro-, bromo-, and acetylaminomalonic acids under conditions of base catalysis are cyclized to give 1,4-dihydroimidazo[5,1-c]-1,2,4-triazin-4-ones or imidazo[5,1-c]-1,2,4-triazoles. The chloro, bromo, and nitro groups in the bicyclic products are readily replaced by action of nucleophiles. The imidazotriazinones are converted to chloroimidazotriazines by reaction with thionyl chloride or phosphorus oxychlorideUrals State Technical University-UPI, 620002 Yekaterinburg, Russia Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 11, pp. 1544–1553, November, 1999.     

4-Amino-substituted pyrazolo[1,5-a][1,3,5]triazin-2-amines: a new practical synthesis and biological activity

The trichloromethyl moiety was successfully employed as a leaving group in nucleophilic substitutions with various amines for the synthesis of 4-amino-substituted pyrazolo[1,5-a][1,3,5]triazin-2-amines. The key precursor for this reaction, 4-trichloromethylpyrazolo[1,5-a][1,3,5]triazin-2-amine, was prepared via the solvent-dependent condensation of 5-guanidino-3-phenylpyrazole with trichloroacetonitrile. In a broad biological activity screening, some of the prepared compounds were identified as CGRP receptor antagonists.     

Synthesis of 8-R-7-amino-3-tert-butylpyrazolo- [5,1-c][1,2,4]triazin-4(6H)-ones derivatives

8-R-7-Amino-3-tert-butylpyrazolo[5,1-c][1,2,4]triazin-4(6H)-ones derivatives were isolated by boiling them with ketones, anhydrides, benzoyl chloride, and hydrazine. The structures of the compounds were established from data of elemental analysis, IR, ¹H NMR, and mass spectrometry.     

Regioselective alkylation of 1H-7-ethoxycarbonyl-6-methyl-3-phenyl-pyrazolo[5,1-c][1,2,4]triazole and 1H-6-methyl-3-phenyl-pyrazolo[5,1-c][1,2,4]triazole

Alkylation of 1H-6-methyl-3-phenyl-pyrazolo[5,1-c][1,2,4]triazole and 1H-7-ethoxycarbonyl-6-methyl-3-phenyl-pyrazolo[5,1-c][1,2,4]triazole using different alkylating agents leads regioselectively to 1-N-alkylated products. The hydrolysis-decarboxylation of 1,6-dimethyl-7-ethoxycarbonyl-pyrazolo[5,1-c][1,2,4]triazole yields a compound identical with that obtained by the direct methylation of 1H-6-methyl-3-phenyl-pyrazolo[5,1-c][1,2,4]triazole. The 1-N-alkylation is confirmed by NMR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry.     

Synthesis of 2,8-disubstituted 1,2,4-triazolo[5,1-i]purines

This paper describes the preparation of 2-aryl-8-fluorobenzyl-1,2,4-triazolo[5,1-i]purines 2 , starting from 2-aryl-7,8-diamino-1,2,4-triazolo[1,5-c]pyrimidines 9 . Our synthetic procedure represents the first example of a feasible approach for the synthesis of 2,8-disubstituted triazolo[5,1-i]purines. New syntheses of 5-amino-3-arylpyrimido[5,4-e]1,2,4-triazines 12 and 8-fluorobenzyl-6-hydrazinopurines 15 are also reported.     

Syntheses of pyrido[1,2-a][1,3,5]triazin-4-one C-deoxyribonucleosides

We achieved the syntheses of new C-deoxyribonucleosides bearing pyrido[1,2-a][1,3,5]triazin-4-one derivatives using palladium-catalyzed Heck-type coupling. Some of these C-deoxyribonucleosides were able to convert to phosphoramidite reagents, which can be used for DNA synthesizer. DNA oligomers including pyrido[1,2-a][1,3,5]triazin-4-one C-deoxyribonucleoside, which had 2-amino group were synthesized, and T_m values with a natural nucleoside were measured.

Synthesis of 3-substituted bicyclic imidazo[1,2-d][1,2,4]thiadiazoles and tricyclic benzo[4,5]imidazo[1,2-d][1,2,4]thiadiazoles

A versatile synthetic route to potentially useful fused-ring [1,2,4]thiadiazole scaffolds (e.g., 7a and 10b) via exchange reactions of the precursor [1,2,4]thiadiazol-3-(2H)one derivatives (e.g., 6 and 9) with appropriately substituted nitriles (e.g., cyanogen bromide or p-toluenesulfonyl cyanide) under mild conditions is described. For example, the tricyclic 3-bromo [1,2,4]THD derivative (7a) underwent S(N)Ar substitution with a variety of nucleophiles, which included amines, malonate esters and alcohols. Likewise, the bicyclic 3-p-tosyl [1,2,4]THD (10b) was employed as a template in reaction with diamines, and the resulting substituted diamines (e.g., 12a or 12e) were further selectively derivatized at the N1 and/or N2 positions in a linear fashion. The X-ray crystal structure of the 3-methyl bicyclic [1,2,4]THD (21) was obtained, and selective methylation at the N1 position via a protection-alkylation-deprotection protocol, as illustrated in Scheme 6, was confirmed. Alternatively, a short convergent synthesis of N1-functionalized derivatives from the reaction of 10b with appropriately substituted secondary amines was also developed. Hence, these synthetic strategies were advantageously exploited to provide access to a variety of diversely derivatized 3-substituted fused-ring [1,2,4]thiadiazole derivatives.     

Synthesis and biological activity of fluorinated 7-aryl-2-pyridyl-6,7-dihydro[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a][1,3,5]triazin-5-amines

In our lead finding program, 12 new fluorinated 7-aryl-2-pyridyl-6,7-dihydro[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a][1,3,5]triazin-5-amines were prepared via a practical three-step procedure starting from (iso)nicotinic hydrazides. The fluorine substituted aryl fragment was introduced in the last step through cyclocondensation of N-(3-pyridyl-1,2,4-triazol-5-yl)guanidines and fluoro/trifluoromethyl substituted benzaldehydes. The structures of the compounds were confirmed by ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectral data. The tautomeric preferences for the compounds were established using 2D NOESY experiments. The antiproliferative activity of the synthesized 1,2,4-triazolo[1,5-a][1,3,5]triazines was evaluated against breast, colon and lung cancer cell lines. The highest antiproliferative activity in the series was found for 2-(pyridine-3-yl)-7-(4-trifluoromethylphenyl)-6,7-dihydro[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a][1,3,5]triazin-5-amine. The lack of inhibitory activity against bovine dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) indicated that the antiproliferative activity was realized via other mechanisms.

Solution-phase parallel synthesis of new 2H-pyrimido-[4,5-e][1,2,4]triazin-3-ylidenecyanamides

A practical synthesis of 2H-pyrimido[4,5-e][1,2,4]triazin-3-ylidenecyanamides has been developed. The key step is the coupling reaction of an aryldiazonium salt with 1-cyano-3-(2,6-dioxo-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyrimidin-4-ylamino)-2-methylisothiourea followed by intramolecular cyclization. A library of 2H-pyrimido[4,5-e][1,2,4]triazin-3-ylidenecyanamides was prepared in two steps from 6-aminouracils using this method.
