A facile, convenient, and adequate method has been developed for the synthesis of novel 5‐amino‐3‐(2‐oxo‐2H‐chromen‐3‐yl)‐7‐aryl‐7H‐thiazolo[3,2‐a]pyridine‐6,8‐dicarbonitriles ( 6 ) by employing 2‐(4‐(2‐oxo‐2H‐chromen‐3‐yl)thiazol‐2‐yl)acetonitrile ( 3 ) as an important precursor. Initially, we have synthesized the target compounds in a stepwise manner and then approached a tandem method to examine the feasibility of one‐pot method. Subsequently, one‐pot three‐component protocol has been established for the synthesis of title compounds by the reaction of 3 with benzaldehyde and malononitrile in refluxing ethanol engender a new six‐membered thiazolo[3,2‐a] pyridine as a hybrid scaffold. Reaction conditions were optimized for this reaction and a broad substrate scope with various aryl and heteroaryl aldehydes make this protocol very practical, attractive, and worthy. Mechanistic aspects for the formation of these compounds were outlined comprehensively. Characterization of these newly synthesized compounds was achieved by means of IR, ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, and HRMS.

Supramolecular aggregation in three 4‐aryl‐6‐(1H‐indol‐3‐yl)‐3‐methyl‐1‐phenyl‐1H‐pyrazolo[3,4‐b]pyridine‐5‐carbonitriles

Both 6‐(1H‐indol‐3‐yl)‐3‐methyl‐4‐(4‐methylphenyl)‐1‐phenyl‐1H‐pyrazolo[3,4‐b]pyridine‐5‐carbonitrile and 6‐(1H‐indol‐3‐yl)‐3‐methyl‐4‐(4‐methoxyphenyl)‐1‐phenyl‐1H‐pyrazolo[3,4‐b]pyridine‐5‐carbonitrile crystallize from dimethylformamide solutions as stoichiometric 1:1 solvates, viz. C₂₉H₂₁N₅·C₃H₇NO, (I), and C₂₉H₂₁N₅O·C₃H₇NO, (II), respectively; however, 6‐(1H‐indol‐3‐yl)‐3‐methyl‐1‐phenyl‐4‐(3,4,5‐trimethoxyphenyl)‐1H‐pyrazolo[3,4‐b]pyridine‐5‐carbonitrile, C₃₁H₂₅N₅O₃, (III), crystallizes in the unsolvated form. The heterocyclic components of (I) are linked by C—H...π(arene) hydrogen bonds to form cyclic centrosymmetric dimers, from which the solvent molecules are pendent, linked by N—H...O hydrogen bonds.

Molecules of (III) are linked into simple C(12) chains by an N—H...O hydrogen bond, and these chains are weakly linked into pairs by an aromatic π–π stacking interaction.     

Synthesis of 5‐methyl‐4‐oxo‐2‐(coumarin‐3‐yl)‐N‐aryl‐3,4‐dihydrothieno[2,3‐d]‐pyrimidine‐6‐carboxamides

Possible approaches to synthesis of 5‐methyl‐4‐oxo‐2‐(coumarin‐3‐yl)‐N‐aryl‐3,4‐dihydrothieno[2,3‐d]pyrimidine‐6‐carboxamides 4 have been discussed.

An Efficient and Convenient Synthesis of Ethyl 1‐(4‐Methoxyphenyl)‐5‐phenyl‐1H‐1,2,3‐triazole‐4‐carboxylate

The “click chemistry” of using organic azides and terminal alkynes is arguably the most efficient and straightforward route to the synthesis of 1,2,3‐triazoles. In this paper, an alternative and direct access to ethyl 1‐(4‐methoxyphenyl)‐5‐phenyl‐1H‐1,2,3‐triazole‐4‐carboxylate is described. Treatment of ethyl diazoacetate with 4‐methoxyaniline derived aryl imines in the presence of 1,8‐diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec‐7‐ene provided fully substituted 1,2,3‐triazoles in good to high chemical yields. The base‐mediated reaction tolerates various substituted phenyl imines as well as ethyl diazoacetate or the more bulky diazoacetamide. A reasonable mechanism is proposed that involves the addition of an imine nitrogen atom to the terminal nitrogen atom of the diazo compound, followed by aromatization to give the 1,2,3‐triazole. The presence of the 4‐carboxy group is advantageous as it can be easily transformed into other functional groups.     

Synthesis of Novel 2‐Amino‐(2‐thioxo‐3‐alkyl‐4‐methyl‐3H‐thiazol‐5‐yl)‐[1,3,4]thiadiazole Derivatives and Their Growth Stimulant Activity

On the base of synthesized 2‐amino and 2‐ethylamino‐(2‐thioxo‐3‐alkyl‐4‐methyl‐3H‐thiazol‐5‐yl)‐[1,3,4]thiadiazoles, their alkyl, acetyl, and alkylacetylamino derivatives are obtained. The alkylation of 2‐ethylamino derivatives can occur at both exo and endo nitrogen atoms of amidine group, and the acetylation takes place exclusively at the exocyclic nitrogen atom. At acetylation of 2‐amino‐[1,3,4]thiadiazoles, only exo substitution is observed. At the further alkylation of these products, a mixture of exo‐ and endo‐substituted forms is obtained. At preliminary screening, the synthesized compounds have shown expressed growth stimulant properties. The activity of the most active derivatives was in the range of 65–100%, compared with that of heteroauxin.     

Preparation of 2‐amino‐5‐methyl‐7H‐1,3,4‐thiadiazolo[3,2‐α]pyrimidin‐7‐ones

2‐Amino substituted 7H‐1,3,4‐thiadiazolo[3,2‐α]pyrimidin‐7‐ones 11a‐e were prepared by the reaction of 2‐bromo‐5‐amino‐1,3,4‐thiadiazole ( 1b ) and diketene ( 8 ), subsequent cyclocondensation ( 9b → 3b ) and displacement of the bromo substituents by the reaction with primary or secondary amines ( 3b → 11a‐e ). The hydrogen atom 6‐H in the heterobicycle 3b is replaced by a Cl or Br atom in the transformation of 3b → 14a,b. The 2‐bromo‐6‐chloro compound 14a reacts chemoselectively in the 2‐position with dimethylamine ( 14a → 15 ). The structure elucidations are based on one‐ and two‐dimensional NMR techniques including a heteronuclear NOE measurement.

A novel series of coumarin substituted triazolo‐thiadiazine derivatives were designed and synthesized by using 5‐methyl isoxazole‐3‐carboxylic acid ( 1 ), thiocarbohydrazide ( 2 ), and various substituted 3‐(2‐bromo acetyl) coumarins ( 4a , 4b , 4c , 4e , 4d , 4f , 4g , 4h , 4i , 4j ). Fusion of 5‐methyl isoxazole‐3‐carboxylic acid with thiocarbohydrazide resulted in the formation of the intermediate 4‐amino‐5‐(5‐methylisoxazol‐3‐yl)‐4H‐1,2,4‐triazole‐3‐thiol ( 3 ). This intermediate on further reaction with substituted 3‐(2‐bromo acetyl) coumarins under simple reaction conditions formed the title products 3‐(3‐(5‐methylisoxazol‐3‐yl)‐7H‐[1,2,4]triazolo[3,4‐b][1,3,4]thiadiazin‐6‐yl‐2H‐chromen‐2‐ones ( 5a , 5b , 5c , 5d , 5e , 5f , 5g , 5h , 5i , 5j ) in good to excellent yields. All the synthesized compounds were well characterized by physical, analytical, and spectroscopic techniques.     

Ethyl 3,5‐dimethyl‐4‐phenyl‐1H‐pyrrole‐2‐carboxylate

In the title compound, C₁₅H₁₇NO₂, the ethoxy­carbonyl group is anti with respect to the pyrrole N atom. The angle between the planes of the phenyl and pyrrole rings is 48.26 (9)°. The mol­ecules are joined into dimeric units by a strong hydrogen bonds between pyrrole N—H groups and carbonyl O atoms. The geometry of the isolated mol­ecule was studied by ab initio quantum mechanical calculations, employing both molecular orbital Hartree–Fock (MO–HF) and density functional theory (DFT) methods. The minimum energy was achieved for a conformation where the angle between the planes of the phenyl and pyrrole rings is larger, and that between the ethoxy­carbonyl and pyrrole planes is smaller than in the solid‐state mol­ecule.     

Dimorphism in (2Z)‐2‐benzyl­idene‐N,7‐dimethyl‐3‐oxo‐5‐phenyl‐2,3‐dihydro‐5H‐1,3‐thia­zolo[3,2‐a]pyrimidine‐6‐carboxamide

The title compound, C₂₂H₁₉N₃O₂S, crystallizes in two polymorphic forms having the same space group, viz. P, with Z′ = 2 and Z′ = 1. In both polymorphs, the planar thia­zole ring is fused cis with the dihydro­pyrimidine ring, the carbamoyl group is in an extended conformation with an anti­clinal orientation with respect to the pyrimidine ring, and the phenyl ring is attached to the pyrimidine ring approximately at a right angle. The two polymorphs have different inter­planar angles between the phenyl and thia­zole rings. The mol­ecules are linked by N—H⋯O and C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds.     

N—H⋯N and C—H⋯π inter­actions in 4‐amino‐3‐methyl‐5‐(p‐tol­yl)‐4H‐1,2,4‐triazole and 4‐amino‐3‐methyl‐5‐phenyl‐4H‐1,2,4‐triazole

The title compounds, C₁₀H₁₂N₄, (I), and C₉H₁₀N₄, (II), have been synthesized and characterized both spectroscopically and structurally. The dihedral angles between the triazole and benzene ring planes are 26.59 (9) and 42.34 (2)°, respectively. In (I), mol­ecules are linked principally by N—H⋯N hydrogen bonds involving the amino NH₂ group and a triazole N atom, forming R₄⁴(20) and R₂⁴(10) rings which link to give a three‐dimensional network of mol­ecules. The hydrogen bonding is supported by two different C—H⋯π inter­actions from the tolyl ring to either a triazole ring or a tolyl ring in neighboring mol­ecules. In (II), inter­molecular hydrogen bonds and C—H⋯π inter­actions produce R₃⁴(15) and R₄⁴(21) rings.
