Differentiation between [1,2,4]triazolo[1,5‐a] pyrimidine and [1,2,4]triazolo[4,3‐a]‐ pyrimidine regioisomers by 1H?15N HMBC experiments

The condensation of malonoaldehyde derivatives with either a 3‐amino‐[1,2,4]‐triazole or a 3,5‐diamino‐[1,2,4]‐triazole precursor was studied. In agreement with previous reports, two different bicycles, namely, bearing the regioisomeric [1,2,4]triazolo[1,5‐a]pyrimidine ( 1 ) or[1,2,4] triazolo [4,3‐a]pyrimidine ( 2 ) structural surrogates, could be obtained. We found that, depending on the triazole precursor, only one regioisomer resulted, either of the 1 or 2 series. We also observed that these two structural surrogates could be unambiguously differentiated by indirectly measuring their ¹⁵N chemical shifts by ¹H? ¹⁵N HMBC experiments. The occasional conversion of [1,2,4]triazolo[4,3‐a]pyrimidines to the [1,2,4]triazolo[1,5‐a]pyrimidine counterparts could be unequivocally determined by ¹⁵N NMR data.

The different modes of chiral [1,2,3]triazolo[5,1‐b][1,3,4]thiadiazines: crystal packing,conformation investigation and cellular activity

The crystal structures of four new chiral [1,2,3]triazolo[5,1‐b][1,3,4]thiadiazines are described, namely, ethyl 5′‐benzoyl‐5′H,7′H‐spiro[cyclohexane‐1,6′‐[1,2,3]triazolo[5,1‐b][1,3,4]thiadiazine]‐3′‐carboxylate, C₁₉H₂₂N₄O₃S, ethyl 5′‐(4‐methoxybenzoyl)‐5′H,7′H‐spiro[cyclohexane‐1,6′‐[1,2,3]triazolo[5,1‐b][1,3,4]thiadiazine]‐3′‐carboxylate, C₂₀H₂₄N₄O₄S, ethyl 6,6‐dimethyl‐5‐(4‐methylbenzoyl)‐6,7‐dihydro‐5H‐[1,2,3]triazolo[5,1‐b][1,3,4]thiadiazine‐3‐carboxylate, C₁₇H₂₀N₄O₃S, and ethyl 5‐benzoyl‐6‐(4‐methoxyphenyl)‐6,7‐dihydro‐5H‐[1,2,3]triazolo[5,1‐b][1,3,4]thiadiazine‐3‐carboxylate, C₂₁H₂₀N₄O₄S. The crystallographic data and cell activities of these four compounds and of the structures of three previously reported similar compounds, namely, ethyl 5′‐(4‐methylbenzoyl)‐5′H,7′H‐spiro[cyclopentane‐1,6′‐[1,2,3]triazolo[5,1‐b][1,3,4]thiadiazine]‐3′‐carboxylate, C₁₉H₂₂N₄O₃S, ethyl 5′‐(4‐methoxybenzoyl)‐5′H,7′H‐spiro[cyclopentane‐1,6′‐[1,2,3]triazolo[5,1‐b][1,3,4]thiadiazine]‐3′‐carboxylate, C₁₉H₂₂N₄O₄S, and ethyl 6‐methyl‐5‐(4‐methylbenzoyl)‐6‐phenyl‐6,7‐dihydro‐5H‐[1,2,3]triazolo[5,1‐b][1,3,4]thiadiazine‐3‐carboxylate, C₂₂H₂₂N₄O₃S, are contrasted and compared. For both crystallization and an MTT assay, racemic mixtures of the corresponding [1,2,3]triazolo[5,1‐b][1,3,4]thiadiazines were used. The main manner of molecular packing in these compounds is the organization of either enantiomeric pairs or dimers. In both cases, the formation of two three‐centre hydrogen bonds can be detected resulting from intramolecular N—H…O and intermolecular N—H…O or N—H…N interactions. Molecules of different enantiomeric forms can also form chains through N—H…O hydrogen bonds or form layers between which only weak hydrophobic contacts exist. Unlike other [1,2,3]triazolo[5,1‐b][1,3,4]thiadiazines, ethyl 5′‐benzoyl‐5′H,7′H‐spiro[cyclohexane‐1,6′‐[1,2,3]triazolo[5,1‐b][1,3,4]thiadiazine]‐3′‐carboxylate contains molecules of only the (R)‐enantiomer; moreover, the N—H group does not participate in any significant intermolecular interactions. Molecular mechanics methods (force field OPLS3e) and the DFT B3LYP/6‐31G+(d,p) method show that the compound forming enantiomeric pairs via weak N—H…N hydrogen bonds is subject to greater distortion of the geometry under the influence of the intermolecular interactions in the crystal. For intramolecular N—H…O and S…O interactions, an analysis of the noncovalent interactions (NCIs) was carried out. The cellular activities of the compounds were tested by evaluating their antiproliferative effect against two normal human cell lines and two cancer cell lines in terms of half‐maximum inhibitory concentration (IC₅₀). Some derivatives have been found to be very effective in inhibiting the growth of Hela cells at nanomolar and submicromolar concentrations with minimal cytotoxicity in relation to normal cells.     

Synthesis of 1‐substituted [1,2,3]triazolo[4,5‐d]pyridazines as precursors for novel tetraazapentalene derivatives

A series of 1‐substituted 4,5‐diformyl‐[1,2,3]triazole derivatives were prepared by 1,3‐dipolar cyclo‐addition of aryl azides with acetylene dicarboxaldehyde mono‐diethylacetal. The triazoles were readily converted into 1‐substituted [1,2,3]triazolo[4,5‐d]pyridazines in good yields. The 1‐(2‐nitrophenyl)‐[1,2,3]triazolo[4,5‐d]pyridazine was found to be a useful intermediate for the generation of the novel 5H‐benzo[1,2,3]triazolo[1′,2′:1,2]triazolo[4,5‐d]pyridazin‐6‐ium inner salt ring system.

Compounds 4 , 7 , 15 , 17 , 28 , 34 , and 47 were found to exert promising anticancer activity against HepG2 cell line showing IC₅₀ values ranging from 17.69 to 25.4 μM/L, while compounds 7 , 14a , 17 , 28 , and 34 showed significant activity against MCF7 cell line with IC₅₀ values ranging from 17.69 to 27.09 μM/L.     

A Facile Synthesis of Aryl‐Substituted Hydrazono‐Pyrazolyl[1,2,4]triazolo[3,4‐b][1,3,4][thiadiazol]‐coumarin Derivatives

Some inimitable and therapeutic coumarin‐substituted fused[1,2,4]triazolo‐[3,4‐b][1,3,4]thiadizole derivatives were synthesized by the cyclocondensation reaction of 2‐oxo‐2H‐chromene‐3‐carboxylic acid ( 1 ) and 4‐amino‐5‐hydrazinyl‐4H‐[1,2,4]‐triazole‐3‐thiol ( 2 ) by using phosphorous oxychloride as a cyclizing agent. This cyclized intermediate 3‐(3‐hydrazino‐[1,2,4]triazolo[3,4‐b][1,3,4]thiadiazol‐6‐yl)‐chromen‐2‐one ( 3 ) later condensation with various ethyl 2‐(2‐arylhydrazono)‐3‐oxobutanoates ( 4 ) in NaOAc/MeOH under reflux conditions afforded the corresponding new series of aryl‐substituted hydrazono‐pyrazolyl‐[1,2,4]triazolo[3,4‐b][1,3,4][thiadiazol]‐coumarin derivatives ( 5 ) in good to excellent yields. The structures of newly synthesized compounds were established on the basis of elemental analysis, IR, ¹H NMR and mass spectroscopic studies.

Synthesis and bioactivity of novel triazolo [1,5‐a]pyrimidine derivatives[3]

In an attempt to discover novel compounds with high herbicidal activity and low toxicity, a series of novel 1,2,4‐triazolo[1,5‐a]pyrimidine derivatives, α‐(5,7‐dimethyl‐1,2,4‐triazolo[1,5‐a]pyrimidine‐2‐thio)acetamides 3 and α‐(5,7‐dimethyl‐1,2,4‐triazolo[1,5‐a]pyrimidine‐2‐sul‐fonyl)acetamides 4 , have been designed and synthesized by a three‐step synthetic route. The structures of all compounds prepared were confirmed by elemental analyses and by ¹H NMR and mass spectroscopy.

New 1,2,3‐triazolo[4,5‐d]1,2,4‐triazolo[3,4‐b]pyridazine derivatives II

New tricyclic 1,2,3‐triazolo‐1,2,4‐triazolo‐pyridazine derivatives, bearing a methyl substituent on the 1,2,3‐triazole ring, were prepared as potential biological agents. N‐Methylation of dimethyl 1,2,3‐triazole‐4,5‐dicarboxylate allowed synthesis of the isomeric 1‐methyl‐4,7‐dihydroxy and 2‐methyl‐4,7‐dihydroxy triazolo‐pyridazines 4a and 4b which, by a chlorination reaction, gave the corresponding 1‐methyl‐4‐chloro‐( 6a ), 1‐methyl‐7‐chloro‐ ( 6b ) and 2‐methyl‐4‐chloro‐ ( 9 ) substituted 1,2,3‐triazolo‐pyridazines. The nucle‐ophilic substitution with hydrazine hydrate and the suitable cyclization to form the 1,2,4‐triazole ring, provided the expected tricyclic isomeric derivatives 8a, 8b and 11 respectively. The p‐methoxybenzyl substituent, introduced as a leaving group to obtain either v‐triazolo‐pyridazine or v‐triazolo‐s‐triazolo‐pyri‐dazine derivatives unsubstituted on the 1,2,3‐triazole ring, appeared inadequate. Some compounds underwent binding assays toward the adenosine A₁and A_2A receptors.

Besides spectroscopical evidence a preparative proof of their structure was also provided. X‐ray diffraction analysis of 3‐methylthio‐6‐morpholino‐1,2,4‐triazolo[5,1‐c]thiadiazole ( 8 ) showed quite unusual bond lengths for the N¹‐S and S‐C³ bonds of the thiadiazole ring proving the meso‐ionic character of these derivatives unequivocally.     

Synthesis and Spectral Characteristics of Novel Fluorescent Dyes Based on Pyrimido[4,5‐d] [1,2,4]triazolo[4,3‐a]pyrimidine

Different derivatives of a novel heterocyclic system, i.e., pyrimido[4,5‐d] [1,2,4]triazolo[4,3‐a]pyrimidine, are synthesized in moderate‐to‐good yields. These compounds exhibit excellent photochromism upon photoirradiation. The photophysical characterizations of these new compounds were evaluated by UV/VIS absorption and fluorescence emission studies. The emission spectra in various solvents are also presented and discussed. The changes are due to the intramolecular H‐bonding of pyrimido‐triazolo‐pyrimidine with H₂O, and photoinduced electron and general solvent effect. These compounds display high fluorescence quantum yields and are reported as new fluorophores.     

Synthesis of New [1,2,4]Triazolo[1,5‐a]pyrimidine Derivatives: Reactivity of 3‐Amino[1,2,4]triazole towards Enaminonitriles and Enaminones
