The reaction of 6-amino-5-cyano-3-methyl-1H-1-phenylpyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridine ( 2 ) and 6,7-dihydro-3-methyl-6-oxo-1H-1-phenylpyrazolo[3,4-b)]pyridine-5-carbonitrile ( 3 ) and 5-amino-3-methyl-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-b]-1H-pyrazolo[4′,3′-e]pyridine ( 12 ) with different reagents have been conducted to give newly condensed pyrazoloazines.     

Synthesis of condensed tricyclic pyrazolo[3,4-b]thieno[2,3-d]pyridine and related isostere derivatives

In this paper we report the synthesis of an isosteric series of new heterotricyclic derivatives, corresponding to pyrazolo[3,4-b]thieno[2,3-d]pyridine ( 1 ), pyrazolo[3,4-b]furano[2,3-d]pyridine ( 2 ) and pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyridine ( 3 ). These functionalized compounds were obtained, in high overall yield, by an ‘one-pot’ reaction of the chloroester intermediate 4 , possessing the pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridine system, with an adequate α-hetero-acetyl ester derivative, in SNAr/Dieckman cyclization type consecutive reactions.     

Chemistry of thienopyridines. XXXVI. Further studies on nitration in the thieno[2,3-b]- and thieno[3,2-b]pyridine systems

Three compounds, thieno[3,2-b]pyridine 4-oxide, 7-nitrothieno[3,2-b]pyridine 4-oxide ( 1 c), and 6-cyano-thieno[2,3-b]pyridine, undergo nitration by means of a mixture of nitric and sulfuric acids to yield 3,7-dinitro-thieno[3,2-b]pyridine (3%), 3,7-dinitrothieno[3,2-b]pyridine 4-oxide ( 1d ) (26%), and 6-carbamoyl-5-nitrothieno[2,3-b]pyridine ( 6b ) (11%), respectively. Structures of the products were ascertained by spectral means, notably infrared, ¹H nmr, and ¹³C nmr. It is proposed that 1d exists (at least in part) as a tricyclic structure and that 6b may result from an intramolecular mechanism of nitration. An attempt to de-N-oxygenate 1c with excess triphenylphosphine removes more than one oxygen atom per molecule (as triphenylphosphine oxide) without producing an identified thienopyridine product.     

Chemistry of thienopyridines. VIII. Substitution products derived from thieno[2,3-b] pyridine 7-oxide

Thieno[2,3-b]pyridine (I) was concerted to the N-oxide (II, 53%) by means of hydrogen peroxide and acetic acid. Nitration of II in sulfuric acid gave 4-nitrothieno[2,3-b]pyridine 7-oxide (III, 50%), while nitration in acetic acid formed the isomeric 5-nitrothieno[2,3-b]pyridine 7-oxide (IV, 54%). Compounds III and IV were reduced to the corresponding 4- and 5-aminothieno[2,3-b]pyridines, respectively. Treatment of III with acetyl chloride gave 4-chlorothieno-[2,3-b]pyridine 7-oxide (XI, 81%), convertible in two steps to 4-(N-substituted amino)thieno-[2,3-b]pyridines (especially of the 4-dialkylaminoalkylamino type) for screening as potential antimalarial drugs. 4-Aminothieno[2,3-b]pyridine reacted with aromatic aldehydes to give Schiff's bases and other products. Mechanisms for some of the reactions are suggested. NMR spectral data are reported for various 4-substituted thieno[2,3-b]pyridine compounds.     

Convenient synthesis and anticancer evaluation of novel pyrazolyl-thiophene,thieno[3,2-b]pyridine,pyrazolo[3,4-d]thieno[3,2-b]pyridine and pyrano[2,3-d]thieno[3,2-b]pyridine derivatives

The newly synthesized 3-(3-amino-5-(phenylamino)-4-(phenylcarbamoyl)thiophen-2-yl)-3-oxopropanoate was utilized as a precursor for the synthesis of pyrazolyl-thiophene derivative, which undergoes cyclization upon treatment with benzaldehyde derivatives to provide pyrazolo[3,4-d]thieno[3,2-b]pyridines. Basic treatment of pyrazolyl-thiophene derivative with phenyl isothiocyanate followed by subsequent addition of chloroacetone and/or ethyl bromoacetate yielded the thiazolylidene-pyrazolyl thiophenes. In addition, the building block 3-(3-amino-5-(phenylamino)-4-(phenylcarbamoyl)thiophen-2-yl)-3-oxopropanoate was converted into the corresponding thieno[3,2-b]pyridine compounds through its reactions with (DMF-DMA) and/or heating in sodium ethoxide. Moreover, the reaction of 7-hydroxy-5-oxo-N-phenyl-2-(phenylamino)-4,5-dihydrothieno[3,2-b]pyridine-3-carboxamide with 2-arylidenemalononitrile produced the new annulated pyrano[2,3-d]thieno[3,2-b]pyridines. The prepared thiophene-based compounds were evaluated against HepG2, PC3, and MCF-7 cancer cells, and normal fibroblast cell (WI38). The pyrazolo[3,4-d]thieno[3,2-b]pyridine and pyrano[2,3-d]thieno[3,2-b]pyridine compounds substituted with chlorophenyl group presented promising cytotoxic activities against HepG2 cancer cell line without any human toxicity. Docking study for the synthesized thiophene compounds delivered valuable insights about the binding interactions with the crystal structure of NS5B enzyme with PDB ID (4TLR).

A four-step synthesis of 5-carboxamidopyrrolo[3,2-b]pyridine ( 3 ) from pyrrolo[3,2-b]pyridine ( 4 ) is described (45% overall yield). The one-step conversion of the N-oxide 6 of the pyrrolo[3,2-b]pyridine 5 leads to the 5-cyanopyrrolo[3,2-b]pyridine 7. The cyano group is hydrolyzed to afford the title compound 3 , which is the 4-aza analog of the indole backbone in 5-carboxamidotryptamine, a potent agonist of the neurotransmitter, serotonin.     

Furopyridines. III. A new synthesis of furo[3,2-b]pyridine

A convenient synthesis of furo[3,2-b]pyridine and its 2- and 3-methyl derivatives from ethyl 3-hydroxypiconate ( 1 ) is described. The hydroxy ester 1 was O-alkylated with ethyl bromoacetate or ethyl 2-bromopropionate to give the diester 2a or 2b . Cyclization of compound 2a afforded ethyl 3-hydroxyfuro[3,2-b]pyridine-2-carboxylate ( 3 ) which in turn was hydrolyzed and decarboxylated to give furo[3,2-b]pyridin-3-(2H)-one ( 4a ). Cyclization of 2b gave the 2-methyl derivative 4b . Reduction of 4a and 4b with sodium borohydride yielded the corresponding hydroxy derivative 5a and 5b respectively, which were dehydrated with phosphoric acid to give furo[3,2-b]pyridine ( 6a ) and its 2-methyl derivative ( 6b ). 2-Acetylpyridin-3-ol ( 8 ) was converted to the ethoxycarbonylmethyl ether ( 9 ) by O-alkylation with ethyl bromoacetate, which was cyclized to give 3-methylfuro[3,2-b]pyridine-2-carboxylic acid ( 10 ). Decarboxylation of 10 afforded 3-methylfuro[3,2-b]pyridine ( 11 ).

Chlorination of 2 with phosphorus oxychloride yielded 2-9a , 3- 9b , 5- 9c and 7-chloro derivative 9d . Reaction of 9d with sodium methoxide, pyrrolidine, N,N-dimethylformamide and ethyl cyanoacetate afforded 7-methoxy- 10 , 7-(1-pyrrolidyl)- 11 and 7-dimethylaminofuro[3,2-b]pyridine ( 14 ) and 7-(1-cyano-1-ethoxy-carbonyl)methylene-4,7-dihydrofuro[3,2-b]pyridine ( 12 ).

Coupling the diazonium salt of 3-amino-2-cyano-4,6-dimethylthieno[2,3-b]pyridine 1 with malononitrile 2 gave 2-cyano-3-(hydrazonomalononitrile)-4,6-dimethylthieno[2,3-b]pyridine 3 which then reacted with hydrazine compounds 4a-4h to yield corresponding 2-cyano-3-(3,5-diamino-1-substituted-pyrazol-4-yl)azo-4,6-dimethylthieno[2,3-b]pyridines 5a-5h. The 2-cyano-3-(2-amino-5,7-disubstituted-pyrazolo-[1,5-a]pyrimidine-3-yl)azo-4,6-dimethylthieno[2,3-b]pyridines 7a-7f were obtained in good yield by the cyclocondensation reaction of 2-cyano-3-(3,5-diamino-pyrazol-4-yl)azo-4,6-dimethylthieno[2,3-b]pyridine 5a with the appropriate 1,3-diketones 6a-6f under acidic condition.
