Heterocyclization of Acetamidrazones. I. Synthesis of 1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-a]pyridines via ring closure of 6-(2-acylhydrazino)pyridine intermediates

The reaction of N¹-acyl-2-ethoxycarbonylacetamidrazones with ethyl ethoxymethylenecyanoacetate (EMCA) has been examined. The acetamidrazone 1a reacts with EMCA in boiling dimethyl sulphoxide to give the 1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-a]pyridin-3(2H)-one 2 in excellent yield. Similarly from the amidrazones 1b-h the 1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-a]pyridines 3b-h were obtained. When the reaction between the amidrazones and EMCA was performed in ethanolic solution, the 6-(2-acylhydrazino)-pyridines 4 were isolated. Ring closure of 4 afforded the 1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-a]pyridines.     

Reactions of 1,2,4-triazole derivatives with a “model” thiirane

Reactions of 3-mono- and 3,5-disubstituted 1,2,4-triazoles with a “model” thiirane, 8-bromo-1,3-dimethyl-7-(thiiran-2-ylmethyl)-3,7-dihydro-1H-purine-2,6-diones proceed at the positions N¹ and N² of the triazole ring and yield 7-(5-R-3-R′-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)methyl- and/or 7-(5-R′-3-R-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)methyl-1,3-dimethyl-6,7-dihydro[1,3]thiazolo[2,3-f]-purine-2,4-(1H,3H)-diones. 3-Methylsulfonyl-1,2,4-triazole reacted regiospecifically at the position N¹ forming 1,3-dimethyl-7-[(3-methyl-sulfonyl-1,2,4-triazole-1-yl)-methyl]-6,7-dihydro[1,3]thiazolo-[2,3-f]purine-2,4(1H,3H)-dione.     

Electron spin and electron nuclear double resonances of the stable 1-(4-nitrophenyl)-3-phenyl-1,4-dihydro-1,2,4-benzotriazin-4-yl free radical

The ¹H and ¹⁴N hyperfine structure constants for the stable 1-(4-nitrophenyl)-3-phenyl-1,4-dihydro-1,2,4-benzotriazin-4-yl free radical obtained by the oxidation of 1-(4-nitrophenyl)-3-phenyl-1,4-dihydro-1,2,4-benzotriazine or N-phenylbenzamide 4-nitrophenylhydrazone were determined by the ESR and ¹H electron nuclear double resonance methods.     

Studies on the syntheses of azole derivatives. Part IX. Formation of 2,4-disubstituted δ2 -1,3,4-oxadiazolin-5-one and 4-substituted 1,2,4-triazolidin-3,5-dione derivatives by thermal reaetion of N-aryl-N-benzylearbamoyl azides

The structure of the novel produets, 2,4-ltis-(N-benzy1-4-nitroanilino)-Δ²-1,3,4-oxadiazolin-5-one (VII), 2-benzy1-1-(N-benzy1-4-chloroanilino)-4-(4-chlorophenyl)-1,2,4-triazolidin-3,5-dione (XIVa), and 2-benzy1-1-(N-benzylanilino)-4-pheny1-1,2,4-triazolidin-3,5-dione (XIVb), obtained upon thermal reaction of N-bcnzyl-N-(4-nitrophenyl)carbamoyl azide (la), N-benzyl-N-(4-chloro-phenyl)carbamoyl azide (Ib) and N-benzyl-N-phcnylcarbamoyl azide (le), respectively, were determined.     

Nucleosides. Part LXI. A Simple Procedure for the Monomethylation of Protected and Unprotected Ribonucleosides in the 2′-O- and 3′-O-Position Using Diazomethane and the Catalyst Stannous Chloride

Intensive studies on the diazomethane methylation of the common ribonucleosides uridine, cytidine, adenosine, and guanosine and its derivatives were performed to obtain preferentially the 2′-O-methyl isomers. Methylation of 5′-O-(monomethoxytrityl)-N²-(4-nitrophenyl)ethoxycarbonyl-O⁶-[2-(4-nitrophenyl)ethyl]-guanosine ( 1 ) with diazomethane resulted in an almost quantitative yield of the 2′- and 3′-O-methyl isomers which could be separated by simple silica-gel flash chromatography (Scheme 1). Adenosine, cytidine, and uridine were methylated with diazomethane with and without protection of the 5′ -O-position by a mono- or dimethoxytrityl group and the aglycone moiety of adenosine and cytidine by the 2-(4-nitrophenyl)ethoxycarbonyl (npeoc) group (Schemes 2–4). Attempts to increase the formation of the 2′-O-methyl isomer as much as possible were based upon various solvents, temperatures, catalysts, and concentration of the catalysts during the methylation reaction.     

Synthesis of pyridyloxadiazoles 1. Characterization and thermal rearrangement of an unexpected 1,2,4-oxadiazol-5(4H)one

The synthesis of pyridyloxadiazoles by the reaction of acid chlorides with 5-(2-pyrklyl)-tetrazole or 2-pyridineamidoxime was studied. Reaction of 2-pyridineamidoxime with N,N-dimethylcarbamyl chloride produced 3-(2-pyridyl)-4-N,N-dimethylaminocarbony 1-1,2,4-oxadi-azol-5(4H)one instead of the expected oxadiazole. The oxadiazolone underwent thermal rearrangement with expulsion of carbon dioxide to yield the desired 3-(2-pyridyl)-5-N,N-dimethylamino-1,2,4-oxadiazole.     

Adamantylation of 3-Nitro- and 3-Ethoxycarbonyl-1,2,4-triazolo[5,1-c]-1,2,4-triazin-4-ones

Reaction of 3-nitro- and 3-ethoxycarbonyl-1,2,4-triazolo[5,1-c]-1,2,4-triazin-4-ones with 1-adamantanol (or 1-adamantyl nitrate) in concentrated sulfuric acid or with 1-bromoadamantane in sulfolane affords N-adamantyl derivatives. The adamantylation of 3-nitro-1,4-dihydro-7H-1,2,4-triazolo[5,1-c]-1,2,4-triazin-4-one yields a mixture of N⁸- and N¹-isomers that undergo interconversion in concentrated sulfuric acid along intermolecular mechanism.     

Pyrazolo[1,5-d]triazines-1,2,4. II étude des pyrazolo[1,5-d]triazinones,des pyrazolo[1,5-d]triazinediones et des pyrazolo[1,5-d]triazinethiones

The synthesis of 1,2-dihydro-l-oxopyrazolo[1,5-d]-1,2,4-triaxine was achieved by rerrangment of 2-(5-pyrazolyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazole under alkaline condition. The cyclization of the N-carbethoxyhydrazone of the pyrazole-5-carboxaldehyde gave the 3,4-dihydro-4-oxopyrazolo[1,5-d]1,2,4-triazine. Electrophilic substitutions of the l-pyrazolotriazinome were made either on the lactam nitrogen with methylsulfate, benzylchloride and monochloracetic axid or on the pyrazole ring with bromine. The synthesis of pyrazolo[1,5-d]-1,2,4-triazine was made from teh l-pyrazolotrizinone via the l-pyrazolotrizinone. The methylation of l-pyrazolotrizinone and 8-bromo-l-pyrazolotrizinone afforded N-and S-methyl derivatives. The sysnthesis of 1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyrazolo[1,5-d]-1,2,4-triazine-1,4-diones was axhived by cyclising N-carbethoxyhydrazides of pyrrole-5-carboxylic acid. The structures of the derivatives were determined by ¹H-nmr.     

Syntheses of β-Mannopyranosedes by Enzymatic Approaches

Abstract

The transmannosylation activity of β-mannosidase from snail and β-galactosidase from Aspergillus oryzae was used for the synthesis of methyl, ethyl, 1-propyl, 2-propyl, 1-butyl, 2-butyl, 1-hexyl, cyclohexyl, and 1-octyl β-D-mannopyranosides (3a-i), respectively. The regioisomeric specificities and wide substrate acceptance of this galactosidase are demonstrated. Thus, 4-nitrophenyl 4-O-(α-D-glucopyranosyl)-β-D-glucopyranoside (6), 4-nitrophenyl 2-O-(β-D-glucopyranosyl)-β-D-glucopyranoside (7), 4-nitrophenyl 2-deoxy-2N-acetyl-6-O-(2-deoxy-2-N-acetyl-β-D-glucopyranosyl)-β-D-glucopyranoside(8),4-nitropheny 13-O-(β-D-mannopyranosyl)-α-D-mannopyranoside (9), and 4-nitrophenyl 4-O-(β-D-mannopyranosyl)-β-D-mannopyranoside (10) were prepared by chemoenzymatic self-transfer reaction.     

Nucleosides. Part LI The 2-(4-nitrophenyl)ethoxycarbonyl (npeoc) and 2-(2,4-dinitrophenyl)ethoxycarbonyl (dnpeoc) groups for protection of hydroxy functions in ribonucleosides and 2′ -deoxyribonucleosides

The Common 2′ -deoxypyrimidine and -purine nucleosides, thymidine ( 4 ), O⁴-[2-(4-nitrophenyl)ethyl]-thymidine ( 17 ), 2′-deoxy-N⁴-[2-(4-nitrophenyl)ethoxycarbonyl]cytidine ( 26 ), 2′-deoxy-N⁶-[2-(4-nitrophenyl)-ethoxycarbonyl]adenosine- 39 , and 2′-deoxy-N²-[2-(4-nitrophenyl)(ethoxycarbonyl]-O⁶-[2–4-nitrophenyl)ethyl]-guanosine ( 52 ) were further protected by the 2-(4-nitrophenyl)ethoxycarbonyl (npeoc) and the 2-(2,4-dinitrophenyl)ethoxycarbonyl (dnpeoc) group at the OH functions of the sugar moiety to form new partially and fully blocked intermediates for nucleoside and nucleotide syntheses. The corresponding 5′-O-monomethoxytrityl derivatives 5 , 18 , 30 , 40 , and 56 were also used as starting material to synthesize some other intermediates which were not obtained by direct acylations. In the ribonucleoside series, the 5′ -O-monomethoxytrityl derivatives 14 , 36 , 49 , and 63 reacted with 2-(4-nitrophenyl) ethyl chloroformate ( 1 ) to the corresponding 2′,3′-bis-carbonates 15 , 37 , 50 , and 64 which were either detriylated to 16 , 38 , 51 , and 65 , respectively, or converted by 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (DBU) treatment to the 2′,3′-cyclic carbonates 66 – 69 . The newly synthesized compounds were characterized by elemental analyses and UV and ¹H-NMR spectra.     

On the amination of 1,2,4-triazines by potassium amide in liquid ammonia and by phenyl phosphorodiamidate. A 15n-study

The amination of 5-R- and 6-R-3-X-1,2,4-triazines (R = C₆H₅, t-C₄H₉, X = SCH₃, SO₂CH₃, N⁺ (CH₃)₃, Cl) by potassium amide in liquid ammonia has been studied. In all reactions the formation of the corresponding 3-amino-1,2,4-triazines takes place; in some reactions by-products were found: from 5-phenyl- and 5-t-butyl-3-(methylthio)-1,2,4-triazine a ring contracted product i.e. 5-phenyl and 5-t-butyl-3-(methylthio)-1,2,4-triazole, from 6-phenyl-3-(methylthio)-1,2,4-triazine the dimer 3,3′-bis-(methylthio)-6,6′-bisphenyl-5,5′-bi-1,2,4-triazine and from 5-t-butyl-3-(trimethylammonio)-1,2,4-triazine chloride compound bis-(5-t-butyl-1,2,4-triazin-3-yl)- amine. Furthermore the conversion of 5-phenyl- and 5-t-butyl-1,2,4-triazin-3-one into the corresponding 3-amino compound by treatment with phenyl phosphorodiamidate (PPDA) was studied. A ¹⁵N study of these aminations showed that nearly all compounds undergo substitution according to both S_N(AE) and S_N(ANRORC) processes. The contribution of each of the competitive mechanisms to the amination is strongly influenced by the character of the leaving group.

Nucleotides. Part XLVI. The synthesis of phospholipid conjugates of antivirally active nucleosides by the improved phosphoramidite methodology

The application of the improved phosphoramidite strategy for the synthese of oligonucleotides using β-eliminating protecting groups to phospholipid chemistry offers the possibility to synthesize phospholipid conjugates of AZT ( 6 ) and cordycepin. The synthesis of 3′-azido-3′-deoxythymidine ( 6 ) was achieved by a new isolation procedure without chromatographic purification steps in an overall yield of 50%. Protected cordycepin ( = 3′-de-oxyadenosine) derivatives, the N⁶,2′-bis[2-(4-nitrophenyl)ethoxycarbonyl]cordycepin ( 12 ) and the N⁶,5′-bis[2-(4-nitrophenyl)ethoxycarbonyl]cordycepin ( 13 ) wre prepared by known methods and direct acylation of N⁶-[2-(4-nitrophenyl)ethoxycarbonyl]cordycepin ( 9 ), respectively. These protected nucleosides and the 3′-azido-3′-de-oxythymidine ( 6 ) reacted with newly synthesized and properly characterized lipid-phosphoramidites 21–25 , catalyzed by 1H-tetrazole, to the corresponding nucleoside-phospholipid conjugates 26–38 in high yield. The deprotection was accomplished via β-elimination with 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (DBU) in aprotic solvents to give analytically pure nucleoside-phospholipid diesters 39–51 as triethylammonium or sodium salts. The newly synthesized compounds were characterized by elemental analyses and UV and ¹H-NMR spectra.     

Reactions with diazoazoles. Part VI. Unequivocal synthesis of 3-methyl-3h-azolotetrazoles. Correction of the formerly described 3-methylazolotetrazoles in favour of mesoionic 2-methylazolotetrazoles

3-Methyl-3H-pyrazolo[1,5-d]tetrazoles 2 and 3-methyl-6-phenyl-3H-1,2,4-triazolo[1,5-d]tetrazole (4) have been unequivocally synthesized by annulation of the tetrazole moiety to the pyrazole resp. 1,2,4-triazole system. The constitution of some N-methyl substituted azolotetrazoles, formerly described as 3-methyl-3H-pyrazolo[1,5-d]tetrazoles 2, 3-methyl-6-phenyl-3H-1,2,4-triazolo[1,5-d]tetrazole (4) and 1-methyl-6-phenyl-1H-1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-d]tetrazole (5), has to be revised in favour of the corresponding mesoionic 2-methyl derivatives 2′, 4′, 5′. The structures of 3-methyl-3H- as well as of 2-methyl-2H-pyrazolo[1,5-d]tetrazole derivatives 2a, 2c, 2′a have been determined by X-ray analyses. The azapentalenic system is aromatic in all three measured compounds and mesoionic in the case of the 2-methyl-2H- substitution pattern. The phenyl and ester substituents are coplanar with the azapentalene system. 3-, 2-, and 1-Methylpyrazolo[1,5-d]tetrazoles exhibit different behaviour when allowed to react with stannous chloride or sodium ethoxide. Azolotetrazoles with a methyl substituent at N-1, N-2 or N-3 of the tetrazole moiety can be distinguished by a combination of ¹H and ¹³C nmr with respect to the chemical shifts of the N-methyl group and the bridgehead carbon. Results of semiempirical calculations of the pyrazolo[1,5-d]tetrazole anion and of its N-methyl derivatives are discussed.     

Pyrrolo[1,2-d]triazines-1,2,4. II. Etude des pyrrolo[1,2-d]triazinones-1 et -4

The synthesis of 1,2-dihydro-1-oxopyrrolo[1,2-d]-1,2,4-triazines was achieved by rearrangement of 2-pyrrolyloxadiazoles under alkaline conditions or by cyclisation of pyrrole N-ethoxymethylidene hydrazides. The cyclisation of the N-carbethoxy hydrazone of the pyrrole-2-carboxaldehyde gave the 3,4-dihydro-4-oxopyrrolo[1,2-d]-1,2,4-triazine. Electrophilic substitution reactions of the 1- and 4-pyrrolotriazinones were made either on the lactam nitrogen with methyl sulphate, benzyl chloride and monochloroacetic acid or on the pyrrole ring with bromine and nitric acid. The structure of the derivatives was determined by ¹H nmr.     

Regioselective Reaction of N1-Benzyl-N2-(4-nitrophenyl)ethanediamide and Acetylenic Esters

The regioselective reaction of N¹-benzyl-N²-(4-nitrophenyl)ethanediamide with dialkyl acetylenedicarboxylates or alkyl propiolates in the presence of triphenylphosphine leads to dialkyl 4-benzylamino-1-(4-nitrophenyl)-5-oxo-2,5-dihydro-1H-pyrrole-2,3-dicarboxylates or alkyl 4-benzylamino-1-(4-nitrophenyl)-2-oxo-5-pyrrolidinecarboxylates in good yields.     

Reinvestigation of the reported preparation of 3-(4-nitrophenyl)thiazolo[2,3-c][1,2,4]triazepines

2-(1H-Pyrazol-1-yl)-4-(4-nitrophenyl)thiazoles 2a and 2b , resulting from the condensation of 2-hydrazino-4-(4-nitrophenyl)thiazole ( 1 ) and acetylacetone and dibenzoylmethane, respectively, were previously [4] misas-signed as 3-(4-nitrophenyl)thiazolo[2,3-c][1,2,4]triazepines 3a and 3b . The assignments were corrected by authentic syntheses of 2a and 2b from 2-chloro-5-(4-nitrophenyl)thiazole ( 6 ) and 3,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrazole and 3,5-diphenyl-1H-pyrazole, respectively. In addition, the mass spectrum of 2a is reported. An apparent ionmolecule reaction produces an ion of significant intensity at m/e 394.     

Synthetic Antigens: Synthesis of 4-Aminophenyl O-α-D-Mannopyranosyl-(1→2)-O-α-D-mannopyranosyl-(1→6)-O-α-D-Mannopyranoside and A Related Di- and A Trisaccharide

Abstract

4-Nitrophenyl 2,3-O-isopropylidine-α-D-mannopyranoside 2 was condensed with O-(2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-α-D-mannopyranosyl)-(1→2)-3,4,6-tri-O-acetyl-α-D-mannopyranosyl bromide 1 and 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-α-D-mannopyranosyl bromide 11 in the presence of mercuric cyanide. Products were deprotected to yield, respectively, 4-nitrophenyl O-α-D-mannopyranosyl-(1→2)-O-α-D-mannopyranosyl-(1→6)-α-D-mannopyranoside 6 and 4-nitrophenyl O-α-D-mannopyranosyl-(1→6)-α-D-mannopyranoside 14. The 4-nitrophenyl group of 6 was reduced to give title trisaccharide. Bromide 1 was also condensed with methyl 2,3,4-tri-O-benzyl-α-D-manopyranoside 3 in the presence of silver trifluoromethanesulfonate and tetramethylurea to give protected trisaccharide derivative which was deprotected to furnish, methyl O-α-D-mannopyranosyl-(1→2)-O-α-D-mannopyranosyl-(1→6)-α-D-mannopyranoside 10. The identities of all protected and deprotected compounds were supported by ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectral data.     

Cascade cyclization reactions of 3,4,5-triamino-1,2,4-triazole with aromatic aldehydes and cycloalkanones

A three-component condensation of 3,4,5-triamino-1,2,4-triazole (1) with aromatic aldehydes 2a–f and dimedone (3) or cyclohexanone (8) afforded partially hydrogenated 9-aryl-[1,2,4]triazolo[5,1-b]quinazolin-8-ones. The structure of 2-amino-6,6-dimethyl-3-(4-nitrobenzylidene)amino-9-(4-nitrophenyl)-5,6,7,9-tetrahydro[1,2,4]triazolo[5,1-b]quinazolin-8-one (4e) was confirmed by X-ray diffraction data.

A new method for the synthesis of novel 6-quinoxalinylpyrazolo[5,1-c][1,2,4]triazines

The reaction of the quinoxaline 1 with 4-ethoxycarbonyl-1H-pyrazole-5-diazonium chloride 7 at room temperature gave 3-[α-(4-ethoxycarbonyl-1H-pyrazol-5-ylhydrazono)methoxycarbonylmethyl]-2-oxo-1,2-dihydroquinoxaline 8. The pmr spectrum of 8 in deuteriodimethylsulfoxide supported the presence of two tautomers 8-I and 8-II. Refluxing of 8 in N,N-dimethylformamide or acetic acid resulted in cyclization to afford 8-ethoxycarbonyl-4-oxo-3-(3-oxo-3,4-dihydroquinoxalin-2-yl)-1,4-dihydropyrazolo[5,1-c][1,2,4]triazine 9. Compound 9 was also obtained directly by the reaction of 1 with 7 under reflux in better yield. The reaction of 9 with hydrazine hydrate provided the hydrazinium salt 10 , while the reactions of 9 with triethyl and trimethyl orthoformates in the presence of 1,8-diazabicyclo[5,4,0]-7-undecene produced 8-ethoxycarbonyl-4-ethoxyl-3-(3-oxo-3,4-dihydroquinoxalin-2-yl)pyrazolo[5,1-c][1,2,4]triazine 11a and 8-ethoxycarbonyl-4-methoxyl-3-(3-oxo-3,4-dihydroquinoxalin-2-yl)pyrazolo[5,1-c][1,2,4]triazine 11b , respectively. The chlorination of 11a with phosphoryl chloride gave 3-(3-chloroquinoxalin-2-yl)-8-ethoxycarbonyl-4-ethoxylpyrazolo[5,1-c]-[1,2,4]triazine 12 , whose reaction with morpholine afforded 8-ethoxycarbonyl-4-ethoxyl-3-[3-(morpholin-4-yl)-quinoxalin-2-yl]pyrazolo[5,1-c][1,2,4]triazine 13.
