Condensed pyridazines. Part II. Synthesis of pyrido[2,3-C] pyridazines

The synthesis of some pyrido[2,3-c]pyridazines from 5,8-diehloro-3-methyl-2-oxo-2H-pyrano-[2,3-d]pyridazine (I) is described. Attempted oxidation of 8-amino-3-chloro-1,6-dimethyl-4,7-dioxo-1,4,7,8-tetrahydropyrido[2,3-c]pyridazine (VI) with LTA led only to the deaminated compound VII. Treatment of VI with LTA A in the presence of cyclohexene gave the nitrene adduct XI.     

The synthesis of pyridazino[4,5-d] pyridazines,pyrazino [2,3-d] pyridazines and a pyrimido [4,5-d] pyridazine

The synthetic chemistry of the relatively unknown pyridazino [4,5-d]pyridazine ring system has been extended. 1,4-Diaminopyridazino [4,5-d]pyridazine (VIII) has been prepared by two routes, the most interesting of these being the one-step conversion of 4,5-dicyanopyridazine into VIII with hydrazine. Upon nitration VIII gave only the mononitramine (X). Attempts to prepare 1,4-dichloropyridazino [4,5-d]pyridazine gave only 4-chloro-2H-pyridazino [4,5-d]pyridazin-1-one (XII). Pyrimido [4,5-d]pyridazine-1,3-dione (XIV) was prepared from pyridazine-4,5-dicarboxamide (IV). The hydrolysis of 5,8-dichloropyrazino [2,3-d]pyridazine (XV) gave 5-chloropyrazino [2,3-d]pyridazin-8-one (XVII) and likewise the ammonolysis of XV gave 5-amino-8-chloropyrazino [2,3-d]pyridazine (XX). As expected the hydrolysis of 5,8-dibromo-pyrazino [2,3-d]pyridazine (XXI) gave 5-bromopyrazino [2,3-d]pyridazin-8-one (XXII). Attempted catalytic dechlorination of 5-chloropyrazino [2,3-d]pyridazin-8-one (XVII) gave 1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyrazino [2,3-d]pyridazin-5-one (XIX).     

Polycyclic pyridazines. II [3]. Synthesis of pyrazolo[4′,3′:5,6]pyrido[2,3-d]pyrid-azine derivatives from dimethyl pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrid-azine-5,6-dicarboxylates as the key intermediates

The synthesis of the novel pyrazolo[4′,3′:5,6]pyrido[2,3-d]pyridazine ring system and some of its derivatives has been accomplished such as 4-amino-1-phenyl-5,8-dioxo-, 4-amino-5,8-dioxo-, 1-phenyl-5,8-dioxo-, 5,8-dioxo-, 5,8-dichloro-1-phenyl-, 5-ethoxy-1-phenyl- and 8-ethoxy-1-phenylpyrazolo[4′,3′:5,6]pyrido[2,3-d]pyrid-azines.     

The synthesis of ω-dialkylaminoalkylaminopyrazino[2,3-d]-, pyrido[2,3-d]-, imidazo[4,5-c]- and imidazo[4,5-d]pyridazines

The synthesis of 5-chloro-8-(ω-dialkylaminoalkylamino)pyrazino[2,3-d]pyridazine (II) proceeded smoothly when 5,8-dichloropyrazino[2,3-d]pyridazine (I) was allowed to react with ω-dialkylaminoalkylamines. Similarly, the reaction of 5,8-dichloropyrido[2,3-d]pyridazine (IV) with ω-dialkylaminoalkylamines gave the two expected products 8-chloro-5-(ω-dialkylaminoalkylamino)pyrido[2,3-d]pyridazine (V) and 5-chloro-8-(ω-dialkylaminoalkylamino)pyrido[2,3-d]pyridazine (VI) in a 2:3 ratio. 4,7-Dichloroimidazo[4,5-d]pyridazine (XII) was found to be much less reactive towards nucleophilic substitutions and more vigorous conditions resulted in disubstituted products (XIII). 7-Chloroimidazo[4,5-c]pyridazine (XVIII) was also found to be much less reactive towards nucleophilic substitution. In both of these cases one of the imidazole nitrogen atoms was blocked by a tetrahydropyranyl group which increased the reactivities and led to the desired monosubstituted products XVII from XII and in the latter case the expected products (XIX).     

Synthesis of 2H-pyrano[2,3-b]quinolines. Part I

3,4-Dihydro-2H-pyrano[2,3-b]quinolines 5a-e and 2H-pyrano[2,3- b ]quinolines 10a-c were synthesised starting from the appropriate ω-chloro-n-valeroylanilides 2a-e . Compounds 10a-c were transformed to analogs of the novel antihypertensive agent Cromakalim ( 1 ).     

Condensed pyridazines. Part IV. Reductive cyclization of (Z)-methyl 3-(6-azido-3-chloro-1-methyl-4-oxo-1,4-dihydropyridazin-5-yl)-2-rnethylacrylatc (I) to pyrido[2,3-c] pyridazines and the acid-catalysed cyclization of I to a pyrano[2,3-d] pyridazine

Reduction followed by cyclization of (Z)-methyl 3-(6-azido-3-chloro-1-methyl-4-oxo-1,4-dihydropyridazin-5-yl)-2-methylacrylate (I) to pyrido[2,3-c]pyridazines by treatment with triethyl phosphite or hydrazine hydrate as the reducing agents is described. Compound I was also reductively cyclized with sodium borohydride. Treatment of I with concentrated sulfuric acid gave 8-chloro-3,6-dimethyl-2,5-dioxo-5,6-dihydro-2H-pyrano[2,3-d] pyridazine (VII) which also could be synthesized by another independent route. A mechanism for the cyclization is proposed.     

A new base-induced ring transformation of pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidines

8-Substituted 5,8-dihydro-5-oxopyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidine-6-carboxylates ( 3 ) rearranged to 8-substituted 7,8-dihydro-5-hydroxy-7-oxopyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidine-6-carboxaldehydes ( 5 ) when treated with sodium ethoxide in an aprotic polar solvent at room temperature. The 6-cyano analogue ( 18 ) also underwent ring transformation under the same mild conditions giving 7-amino-8-ethyl-5,8-dihydro-5-oxopyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidine-6-carboxaldehyde ( 21 ). However, the ring transformations of the pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidine bearing no N₈-substituent ( 12 ), ethyl 1-ethyl-1,4-dihydro-4-oxo-1,8-naphthyridine- ( 14 ) and -quinoline-3-carboxylates ( 16 ) failed to occur. A mechanism is discussed.     

The synthesis of lmidazo[4,5-d] pyridazines. VI. v-Triazolo[4,5-d] pyridazines,pyrazino[ 2,3-d ] pyridazines and 7H-Imidazo [4,5-d] tetrazolo[ 1,5-b] pyridazine

Several pyridazines have been prepared as intermediates in the synthesis of monosubstituted imidazo[4,5-d]pyridazines, monosubstituted v-triazoIo[4,5-d]pyridazines and monosubstituted pyrazino [2,3d] pyridazines. The new ring system, 7H-imidazo[4,5-d]tetrazolo[l,5-b] pyridazine (XIV) has been prepared unsubstituted. Furthermore, unsubstituted imidazo[4,5-d]pyridazine (XI) has been prepared. Calculations for XI and XIV were made by approximate SCF LCAO-MO with CNSO II theory.     

Reaction of ketenes with N,N-disubstituted α-aminomethyleneketones. XIII. Synthesis of 2H-pyrano[3,2-d]-1-benzoxepin derivatives

Cycloaddition of dichloroketone to N,N-disubstituted (E)-4-aminomethylene-3,4-dihydro-1-benzoxepin-5(2H)-ones gave N,N-disubstituted 4-amino-3,3-dichloro-3,4,5,6-tetrahydro-2H-pyrano[3,2-d]-1-benzoxepin-2-ones II, which are derivatives of the new heterocyclic system 2H-pyrano[3,2-d]-1-benzoxepin. Dehydrochlorination with triethylamine of II afforded N,N-disubstituted 4-amino-3-chloro-5,6-dihydro-2H-pyrano-[3,2-d]-1-benzoxepin-2-ones III in good to moderate yields. In the triethylamine treatment of IIh (NR₂ = diphenylamino), 3-chloro-5,6-dihydro-2H-pyrano[3,2-d]-1-benzoxepin-2-one was isolated in low yield near to IIIh, whereas IIc (NR² = diisopropylamino) gave in low yield 4-diisopropylamino-5,6-dihydro-2H-pyrano(3,2-d)-1-benzoxepin-2-one.     

Synthesis of 5,8-dihydro-5-oxo-2-(3- or 4-pyridinyl)-pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidine-6-carboxylic acids and the reinvestigation of the thermal cyclization of diethyl (2-hydroxy-4-pyrimidinyl)amino-methylenemalonate

Diethyl [2-(3- or 4-pyridinyl)-4-pyrimidinyl]aminomethylenemalonates 5 prepared by the reaction between 2-(3- or 4-pyridinyl)-4-pyrimidinamines 3 and diethyl ethoxymethylenemalonate ( 4 ) were thermally cyclized to afford ethyl 5,8-dihydro-5-oxo-2-(3- or 4-pyridinyl)pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidine-6-carboxylates 6 . The later were alkylated with ethyl iodide and then saponified to give 5,8-dihydro-8-ethyl-5-oxo-2-(3- or 4-pyridinyl)pyrido-[2,3-d]pyrimidine-6-carboxylic acids 2 . Thermal cyclization of diethyl (2-hydroxy-4-pyrimidinyl)amino-methylenemalonate ( 8 ) gave ethyl 1,6-dihydro-4,6-dioxo-4H-pyrimido[1,6-a]pyrimidine-3-carboxylate ( 10 ) instead of ethyl 5,8-dihydro-2-hydroxy-5-oxopyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidine-6-carboxylate ( 9 ) as previously claimed.     

Facile solid-phase synthesis of 2,3-disubstituted 6H-pyrano[2,3-f]benzimidazole-6-ones

We report herein the facile solid-phase synthesis of 2,3-disubstituted 6H-pyrano[2,3-f]benzimidazole-6-ones using 7-fluoro-4-methyl-6-nitro-2-oxo-2H-1-benzopyran-3-carboxylic acid as the scaffold. The fluorine of the resin-bound scaffold was first replaced by a primary amine. Reduction of the nitro group with tin(II) chloride afforded an o-dianilino intermediate that was treated with an aldehyde followed by the addition of 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyanoquinone (DDQ). 2,3-Disubstituted 6H-pyrano[2,3-f]benzimidazole-6-ones were obtained in high purity and good yield after cleavage.     

Synthesis of 2-Oxo-2H-[1,2,4]oxadiazolo-[2,3-c]pyrimidine-5-carbamates

Thermal cyclization of the pyrimidine-N-oxide dicarbamate 2 gives a 95:5 mixture of the 2-oxo-2H-[1,2,4]oxadiazolo[2,3-a]- and [2,3-c]pyrimidinecarbamates 3 and 4. An efficient procedure for the conversion of 3 to 4 , and vice versa, is described.     

The synthesis of substituted pyrazino[2,3-d]-1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-b]pyridazines

The synthesis of 1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-b]pyridazines and the unknown ring system, pyrazino[2,3-d]-1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-b]pyridazine, has been achieved. The preparation of the new tricyclic 1,2,4-triazole was accomplished first by ring closure of the triazole ring followed by formation of the pyrazine ring. Substitution of the pyrazino[2,3-d]-1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-b]pyridazine ring system was carried out in order to provide information of its reactivity and to provide a variety of interesting compounds for biological testing.     

Synthesis of some 3-alkenyl-4-oxo-6,7-dihydro-4H-pyrano[3,4-d]isoxazoles

A series of 3-alkenyl-4-oxo-6,7-dihydro-4H-pyrano[3,4-d]isoxazole derivatives was prepared by reaction of hydroxylamine with 4,5-dioxo-2,3,7,8-tetrahydro-4H,5H-pyrano[4,3-b]pyran derivatives.     

Azoles and Azines: CXIX. Alkylation of 5,5'-(4-Nitrobenzylidene)bis(2-thiobarbituric) Acid and 5-(4-Nitrophenyl)-2,8-dithioxo-5,7,8,9-tetrahydro-2H-pyrano[2,3-d:6,5-d']dipyrimidine-4,6(1H,3H)-dione with Haloacetic Acids and Their Esters

5,5'-(4-Nitrobenzylidene)bis(2-thiobarbituric) acid and 5-(4-nitrophenyl)-2,8-dithioxo-5,7,8,9-tetrahydro-2H-pyrano[2,3-d:6,5-d']dipyrimidine-4,6(1H,3H)-dione, similar to unsubstituted 2-thiobarbituric acid, readily react with haloacetic acids and their esters to form regioselectively the S-alkylation products. The alternative routes fo 5,5'-(4-nitrobenzylidene)bis[(4-hydroxy-6-oxo-1,6-dihydropyrimidine-5,2-diyl)sulfanyl]diacetic acids, based on condensation of 4,6-dihydroxypyrimidin-2-ylthioacetic acid with carbonyl compounds followed by cyclodehydration to [(5-(4-nitrophenyl)-4,6-dioxo-3,5,6,7-tetrahydro-4H-pyrano[2,3-d:6,5-d']dipyrimidine-2,8-diyl)di(sulfanyl)]diacetic acid derivatives, are less efficient. Alkylation of 2-thiobarbituric acid with ethyl bromoacetate in ethanol in the presence of alkali yields 5-(2-oxo-2,5-dihydro-1,3-thiazol-4-yl)-2-thiobarbituric acid.     

Condensed benzopyrans. IV. Synthesis of some derivatives of 7H- and 9H-pyrano[3,2-E]indoles

The hydrazones derived from coumarin-6-ylhydrazine and ethyl 6-hydrazinochromone-2-carboxylate undergo facile indolization to give 3H,7H-pyrano[3,2-e]indol-7-ones (IIIb-IIIg) and ethyl 9-oxo-3H,9H-pyrano[3,2-e]indole-7-carboxylates (IVb-IVd), respectively, in good yields. Compounds IVb-IVd are derivatives of a new ring system.     

Hydrazinolysis of 4-acyl and 4-ethoxycarbonyl-3H-imidazo[1,5-b]-pyridazine-5,7-(6H)diones: 8-Oxo-1,4,7,8-tetrahydropyridazino-[4,5-c]pyridazine, 8-oxo-7,8-dihydropyridazino[4,5-c]pyridazine and 5,8-dioxo-1,4,5,6,7,8-hexahydropyridazino[4,5-c]pyridazine derivatives

Reaction of 4-acyl-3H-imidazo[1,5-b]pyridazine-5,7-(6H)diones with hydrazine hydrate gave 3R-5R′-8-oxo-1,4,7,8-tetrahydropyridazino[4,5-c]pyridazine together with 3R-5R′-8-oxo-7,8-dihydropyridazino[4,5-c]pyridazine derivatives. Their structures were assigned by means of elemental analyses and spectroscopic data (ir, uv, nmr and ms). The conclusive structural elucidation involved the fact that 2R-4-ethoxycarbonyl-3H-imidazo[1,5-b]pyridazine-5,7-(6H)-diones treated with hydrazine hydrate afforded 3R-5,8-dioxo-1,4,5,6,7,8-hexahydropyridazino-[4,5-c]pyridazine which, upon dehydrogenation, gave products previously reported in the literature.     

Synthesis of substituted 2-amino-3-cyano-7,9-dimethyl-4H-pyrano[2",3":4,5]thieno[2,3-b]pyridines

4,6-Dimethyl-2H-thieno[2,3-b]pyridin-3-one reacts with 2-aryl-1,1-dicyanoethylenes or an aromatic aldehyde/ketone (cyclohexanone and piperidone derivatives) and malononitrile to give substituted 2-amino-3-cyano-7,9-dimethyl-4H-pyrano[2",3":4,5]thieno[2,3-b]pyridines.     

Pyrrolo[2,3-d] pyrimidines. I. 5-hydroxypyrrolo[2,3-d] pyrimidines

5-Hydroxy-7-alkyl-2-phenyl-7H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidine-6-carbonitriles (VIIb-d) and 5-hydroxy-2-phenyl-7H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidine-6-carboxylic acid, ethyl ester (VIIa) were prepared from 5-carbethoxy-4-chloro-2-phenylpyrimidine (IV) via 4-[(cyanomethyl)alkylamino[-2-phenyl-5-pyrimidinecarboxylic acid, ethyl esters (Vb-d) and 4-[(carboxymethyl)amino]-2-phenyl-5-pyrimidinecarboxylic acid, diethyl ester (Va), respectively. The hydroxy group of the pyrrolo-[2,3-d]pyrimidines could be methylated, acetylated and tosylated. Hydrolysis of 5-methoxy-7-methyl-2-phenyl-7H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidine-6-carbonitrile (IX) afforded the corresponding amide (X).     

Synthesis and Properties of 6-Amino-7-hetaryl-5-R-5H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyrazine-2,3-dicarbonitriles

We have established that when 5-chloro-6-[cyano(2,3-dihydro-1-R-benzo[d]azol-2-yl)methyl]-2,3-pyrazinedicarbonitriles are reacted with nucleophilic reagents (aliphatic and aromatic amines, hydrogen sulfide), annelation of the five-membered ring occurs on the [b] face of the pyrazine with formation of 6-amino-7-hetaryl-5-R-5H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyrazine-2,3-dicarbonitriles and 6-amino-7-(1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2-yl)thieno[2,3-b]pyrazine-2,3-dicarbonitrile respectively. Further heating with excess of acylating reagent leads to formation of a novel heterocyclic system 1H-benzo[4,5]imidazo[1,2-c]pyrazino[2',3':4,5]pyrrolo[3,2-e]pyrimidine. Reaction of vicinal dinitriles with hydrazine hydrate leads to the novel system 1H-pyrrolo[2',3':5,6]pyrazino[2,3-d]pyridazine.
