An influence of a basic side chain moiety on the tautomer ratio between the enamine and methylene imine forms in azole condensed quinoxalines

The reaction of 7-chloro-4-(2-cyano-2-hydroxyvinyl)tetrazolo[1,5-α]quinoxaline 2a with 4-aminopyridine, p-toluidine or p-aminophenol gave 7-chloro-4-(4-pyridylcarbamoylmethylene)-4,5-dihydrotetrazolo[1,5-α]-quinoxaline 7a , 7-chloro-4-(p-tolylcarbamoylmethylene)4, 5-dihydrotetrazolo[1,5-α]quinoxaline 8a or 7-chloro-4-(p-hydroxyphenylcarbamoylmethylene)-4,5-dihydrotetrazolo[1,5-α]quinoxaline 9a , respectively. The reaction of 7-chloro-4-(2-cyano-2-hydroxyvinyl)-1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-α]quinoxaline 2b with 4-aminopyridine, p-toluidine or p-aminophenol afforded 7-chloro4-(4-pyridylcarbamoylmethylene)-4,5-dihydro-1,2,4-triazolo-[4,3-α]quinoxaline 7b , 7-chloro-4-(p-tolylcarbamoylmethylene)-4,5-dihydro-1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-α]quinoxaline 8b or 7-chloro-4-(p-hydroxyphenylcarbamoylmethylene)-4,5-dihydro-1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-α]quinoxaline 9b , respectively. The reaction of compound 2a with 2-aminopyridine or 3-aminopyridine provided 7-chloro-4-(2-pyridyl-carbamoylmethylene)-4,5-dihydrotetrazolo[1,5-α]quinoxaline 10 or 7-chloro-4-(3-pyridyl-carbamoylmethylene)-4,5-dihydrotetrazolo[1,5-α]quinoxaline 11 , respectively. Compounds 7a,b (4-pyridylcarbamoyl) predominated as the enamine tautomer A in a trifluoroacetic acid solution, while compounds 8a,b (p-tolylcarbamoyl) and compounds 9a,b (p-hydroxyphenylcarbamoyl) coexisted as the enamine A and methylene imine B tautomers in a trifluoroacetic acid solution. Moreover, the ratio of the enamine tautomer A elevated in an order of compound 11 (3-pyridylcarbamoyl), compound 10 (2-pyridylcarbamoyl) and compound 7a (4-pyridylcarbamoyl), reflecting an order of the increase in the pKa values of the aminopyridine side chain moieties. In general, the ratio of the enamine tautomer A was higher in the basic carbamoyl derivatives 7–11 than in the neutral ester derivatives 3a,b . From these results, the basic side chain moiety of the tetrazolo[1,5-α]quinoxalines 7a-11 or 1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-α]quinoxalines 7b-9b was found to increase the ratio of the enamine tautomer A in trifluoroacetic acid media.     

Reactions of 4-Aryl-2-hydrazino-3-nitro-6-R-quinolines with HNO2

The reaction of 4-aryl-2-hydrazino-3-nitro-6-R-quinolines with NaNO₂ in AcOH gives the corresponding tetrazolo[1,5-a]quinolines. In contrast to tetrazolo[1,5-c]pyrimidines they cannot be converted to 6-R-4-phenyl[1,2,5]oxadiazolo[3,4-b]quinoline-3-oxides by heating in THF, toluene, or AcOH. Total energy quantum-chemical calculations using the MINDO/3 and MNDO methods show that [1,2,5]oxadiazolo[3,4-b]quinoline-3-oxides are significantly higher in energy (230-280 kcal/mol) than the mentioned tetrazolo[1,5-a]quinolines and hence their formation is unlikely.     

Synthesis and hydrolytic cleavage of tetrazolo[1,5-c]quinazolines

A series of tetrazolo[1,5-c]quinazolines were synthesized by [4 + 1]-cyclocondensation of 4-hydrazinoquinazolines with sodium nitrite with good yields. Peculiarities of this reaction were discussed, namely, the influence of halogen on the reaction yield. Hydrolytic cleavage of tetrazolo[1,5-c]quinozoline cycle was studied in order to obtain 2-(1H-tetrazolo-5-yl)anilines. The structures of the compounds were elucidated by ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, infrared, mass spectrometry, and elemental analysis.

The reaction of 7-chloro-4-ethoxycarbonylmethylene-4,5-dihydro-1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-a]quinoxaline 6 with 4-ethoxycarbonyl-1-methyl-1H-pyrazole-5-diazonium chloride or 4-cyano-1,3-dimethyl-1H-pyrazole-5-diazonium chloride gave 7-chloro-4-[α-(4-ethoxycarbonyl-1-methyl-1H-pyrazol-5-ylhydrazono)-ethoxycarbonylmethyl]-1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-a]quinoxaline 8a or 7-chloro-4-[α-(4-cyano-1,3-dimethyl-1H-pyrazol-5-ylhydrazono)ethoxycarbonylmethyl]-1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-a]quinoxaline 8b , respectively, while the reaction of 7-chloro-4-ethoxycarbonylmethylene-4,5-dihydrotetrazolo[1,5-a]quinoxaline 7 with 4-ethoxycarbonyl-1-methyl-1H-pyrazole-5-diazonium chloride or 4-cyano-1,3-dimethyl-1H-pyrazole-5-diazomum chloride provided 7-chloro-4-[α-(4-ethoxycarbonyl-1-methyl-1H-pyrazol-5-ylhydrazono)ethoxycarbonylmethyl]tetrazolo[1,5-a]quinoxaline 9a or 7-chloro-4-[α-(4-cyano-1,3-dimethyl-1H-pyrazol-5-ylhydrazono)ethoxycarbonylmethyl]tetrazolo[1,5-a]quinoxaline 9b , respectively. Compounds 8a,b and 9a,b showed the tautomeric equilibria between the hydrazone imine C and diazenyl enamine D forms in dimethyl sulfoxide and/or trifluoroacetic acid, and the effects of solvent and temperature on the tautomer ratios of C to D were studied by the nmr measurements in a series of mixed trifluoroacetic acid/dimethyl sulfoxide media (compounds 8a,b and 9a,b ) and at various temperatures (compounds 8a,b ).     

Substituenteneffekte auf azido-tetrazolo-gleichgewichte elektronische und sterische effekte bei s-triazolo[4,3-c]tetrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidinen1

The azido tetrazolo valence isomerism of twenty 9-methyl-s-triazolo[4,3-c]tetrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidines with different substituents at position 5 has been studied by means of ¹H NMR spectroscopy. All the compounds have been found to be tetrazoles in the solid state and in (CD₃)₂SO solution; in CF₃COOH azido and tetrazolo isomers are in equilibrium. From equilibrium constants K and thermodynamic data determined it is concluded that in this series K depends on both electronic effects and steric requirements of the 5-substituents. A linear relation between K and σ was found for 5-arylderivatives because ΔS° keeps approximately constant and the substituent mainly operates on ΔH°.     

Reaction of enol type acyl cyanide with o-aminophenol

The reaction of 7-chloro-4-(2-cyano-2-hydroxyvinyl)tetrazolo[1,5-a]quinoxaline 2a with o-aminophenol gave 7-chloro-4-(b-hydroxyphenylcarbamoylmethylene)4,5-dihydrotetrazolo[1,5-a]quinoxaline 4 , while the reaction of compound 2a with o-aminophenol hydrochloride afforded 4-[2-(2-benzoxazolyl)-2-hydroxyvinyl]-7-chlorotetrazolo[1,5-a]quinoxaline 5 , whose acetylation provided 4-[2-acetoxy-2-(2-benzoxazolyl)vinyl]-7-chlorotetrazolo[1,5-a]quinoxaline 6 . The behavior in a deuteriodimethyl sulfoxide or deuteriotrifluoroacetic acid solution is described for compounds 4–6 .

5‐amino‐tetrazolo[1,5‐a]pyrimidin‐7‐ol ( I ) was synthesized by reaction of 5‐amino‐tetrazole with ethyl cyanoacetate in excellent yield. A series of novel 5‐amino‐6‐arylazotetrazolo[1,5‐a]pyrimidin‐7‐ol dyes were prepared by linking o‐, m‐, p‐anisidine, o‐, m‐, p‐chloroaniline, o‐, m‐, p‐nitroaniline, o‐, m‐, p‐toluidine and aniline to 5‐amino‐tetrazolo[1,5‐a]pyrimidin‐7‐ol ( I ). The structure of these dyes were confirmed by UV‐vis, FTIR and ¹H NMR spectroscopic techniques and elemental analysis. The effect of varying pH and solvent upon the absorption ability of 5‐amino‐6‐arylazotetrazolo[1,5‐a]pyrimidin‐7‐ol sudstituted with electron‐withdrawing and electron‐donating groups at their o‐, m‐, p‐position was examined.     

Synthesis and study of the azide-tetrazole tautomerism in 2-azido-4-(trifluoromethyl)-6-R-pyrimidines (R = H, 4-ClC<Subscript>6</Subscript>H<Subscript>4</Subscript>)

Azide-tetrazole equilibrium in azidopyrimidines bearing trifluoromethyl group on the example of 2-azidopyrimidines has been studied. The latter were synthesized via nitrosation of 2-hydrazino-4-trifluoromethylpyrimidine and reaction of NaN₃ with 4-trifluoromethyl-2- chloro-6-(4-chlorophenyl)pyrimidine. The tautomeric equilibrium 5-trifluoro methyl tetrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine ? 2-azido-4-trifluoromethylpyrimidine was observed in the absence of solvent and in DMSO-d₆ solution, whereas in CDCl³ only an azide form exists. For 2-azido- 4-trifluoromethyl-6-(4-chlorophenyl)pyrimidine, only an azide isomer was detected in CDCl³ solution, and in DMSO-d₆ solution it is in equilibrium with 5-(trifluoromethyl)-7-(4-chlorophenyl) tetrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine (the tautomer ratio is 99 : 1). Thermodynamic and kinetic parameters of 5-trifluoromethyltetrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine ? 2-azido-4-trifluoromethylpyri midine tautomeric rearrangement in DMSO-d₆ for 5-trifluoromethyltetrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine were determined using the exchange spectroscopy (EXSY) technique.     

Azido and Tetrazolo 1,2,4,5‐Tetrazine N‐Oxides

This study presents the synthesis and characterization of the oxidation products of 3,6‐diazido‐1,2,4,5‐tetrazine ( 1 ) and 6‐amino‐[1,5‐b ]tetrazolo‐1,2,4,5‐tetrazine ( 2 ). 3,6‐Diazido‐1,2,4,5‐tetrazine‐1,4‐dioxide was produced from oxidation with peroxytrifluoroacetic acid, and more effectively using hypofluorous acid, and 2 can be oxidized to two different products, 6‐amino‐[1,5‐b]tetrazolo‐1,2,4,5‐tetrazine mono‐N‐oxide and di‐N‐oxide. These N‐oxide compounds display promising performance properties as energetic materials.     

Dicationic liquid mediated synthesis of tetrazoloquinolinyl methoxy phenyl 4-thiazolidinones and their antibacterial and antitubercular evaluation

In a search of new potentially active antitubercular agents here we have synthesized 3-substituted phenyl-2-(4-(tetrazolo[1,5-a]quinolin-4-ylmethoxy)phenyl)thiazolidin-4-ones (8a–l) and evaluated their antibacterial, particularly antitubercular activity. These have been conveniently synthesized by performing one–pot cyclocondensation of 4-(tetrazolo[1,5-a]quinolin-4-ylmethoxy)benzaldehyde, anilines and mercaptoacetic acid in dicationic ionic liquid, (3-methyl-1-[3-(methyl-1H-imidazolium-1-yl)propyl]-1H-imidazolium dibromide [C₃(MIM)₂–2Br]) and obtained excellent yields of (8a–l). 4-Thiazolidinones (8a–l) were thoroughly characterized by their spectral analyses. These compounds have been screened for their in vitro antitubercular activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Ra and Mycobacterium bovis (BCG). The compounds 8a, 8c, and 8e exhibited notable in vitro antitubercular activity compare to the reference, Rifampicin. Molecular docking study has also been performed to know the binding mode of these analogs in to the active site of DprE1 enzyme. The synthesized compounds were also evaluated for their in vitro antibacterial activity and amongst them compound 8k has shown moderate activity against both gram-negative and gram-positive bacterial strains.

Synthesis and antimicrobial activity of tetrazolo[1,5-a]quinoline-4-carbonitrile derivatives

Abstract  

A series of new tetrazolo[1,5-a]quinoline-4-carbonitrile derivatives were synthesized for the first time via tetrazolo[1,5-a]quinoline derivatives. Elemental analysis, IR, ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, and mass spectral data were used to elucidate the structures of all newly synthesized compounds. In vitro antimicrobial activities of synthesized compounds were investigated against Gram-positive Bacillus subtilis, Gram-negative Escherichia coli, and two fungi, Candida albicans and Aspergillus niger, in comparison with standard drugs. Some of the tested compounds showed significant antimicrobial activity.     

Trifluoromethyl-substituted Di- and Tetrahydroazolopyrimidines

The condensation of 4,4,4-trifluoro-1-phenylbut-1-en-3-one with 2-aminobenzimidazole, 3-amino-1,2,4-triazole, and 5-aminotetrazole gives hydroxy-substituted tetrahydro derivatives of pyrimido[1,2-a]benzimidazole, and of 1,2,4-triazolo-, and tetrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine. Dehydration of them to the corresponding dihydroazolopyrimidines has been carried out. An X-ray structural investigation was carried out and the molecular structure of 5-hydroxy-7-phenyl-5-trifluoromethyl-4,5,5,7-tetrahydrotetrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine is discussed.     

Microwave assisted synthesis of novel Hantzsch 1,4-dihydropyridines, acridine-1,8-diones and polyhydroquinolines bearing the tetrazolo[1,5-a]quinoline moiety and their antimicrobial activity assess

Microwave assisted efficient Hantzsch reaction via four-component coupling reactions of tetrazolo[1,5-α]quinoline-4-carbal-dehyde, dimedone/cyclohexane-1,3-dione,ethyl/methyl acetoacetate and ammonium acetate was described as the preparation of tetrazolo[1,5-α]quinoline based 1,4-dihydropyridines,acridine-1,8-diones and polyhydroquinolines.The process presented here is simple,rapid,environmentally welcoming and high yielding.All the derivatives were subjected to an in vitro antimicrobial screening against a representative panel of bacteria and fungi and results worth further investigations.     

Theoretical Study of the Formation of Benzofurotriazines by Reaction of 3-Substituted 1,2,4-Triazines and Fused Azolo[1,2,4]triazines with Resorcinol

3-Methylthio- and 3-amino-1,2,4-triazines react with resorcinol to give benzofurotetrahydrotriazine derivatives, while reactions of [1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-b]- and tetrazolo[1,5-b][1,2,4]triazines with resorcinol stop at the stage of resorcinol addition. According to the results of quantum-chemical calculations, the possibility for further cyclization of the resorcinol addition products is determined by the following factors: tautomeric and conformational states of the compounds, which ensure spatial proximity of the hydroxy group to the cyclization center (C⁶); charges on the C⁶ atom of the triazine ring and oxygen atom of the resorcinol fragment in the conformation most favorable for cyclization; and energies of the highest occupied and lowest unoccupied molecular orbitals of the resorcinol addition products.     

Pyridazines. XXXIV. Electron-impact induced fragmentation of some s-triazolo[4,3-b] pyridazines,tetrazolo[1,5-b] pyridazines and related compounds

Mass spectra of several 4-triazolo[4,3-b]pyridazines and tetrazolo[1,5-b]pyridazines were examined in order to establish their fragmentation patterns. Two distinct patterns could be observed upon electron impact of s-triazolo[4,3-b]pyridazines and tetrazolo[1,5-b]pyridazines. Azidotetrazolopyridazines show a loss of six nitrogens. This can be accounted for by a path proceeding via a molecular ion with a bis-tetrazolo structure.     

Synthesis of pyridazine derivatives. XXI. Tetrazolo-azido transformations in some fused azolopyridazines

6-Azidotetrazolo[1,5-b]pyridazine (III) has been prepared by two different routes and is easily transformed into the 6-amino derivative (IV). The attempted cyclization of 6-hydrazinotetrazolo[1,5-b] pyridazine (II) into the postulated tricycle has been shown to result in the formation of 6-azido-s-triazolo [4,3-b]pyridazine (VI), obtained also in a separate experiment from VII. The azido structure of VI has been confirmed from spectroscopic data and from its conversion into 6-amino-s-triazolo [4,3-b]pyridazine (VIII), obtained in another experiment from VII. Similarly, cyclization of II with cyanogen bromide resulted in the simultaneous formation of the s-triazolo ring and ring opening of the fused tetrazolo ring, giving IX. For 6-azido-2-phenylimidazo[1,2-b]pyridazine (XII) the expected azide structure proved to be correct.     

Synthesis of 9-nitro-5H-spiro[benzo[b]tetrazolo[1,5-d][1,4]oxazepine-4,2′-oxirane] via an unusual ring-expansion

Attempted cyclization of (4-(hydroxymethyl)-8-nitro-4H-benzo[b]tetrazolo[1,5-d][1,4]oxazin-4-yl)methyl 4-methylbenzenesulfonate 2 did not give the expected spirooxetane product 1, but instead provided 9-nitro-5H-spiro[benzo[b]tetrazolo[1,5-d][1,4]oxazepine-4,2′-oxirane] 3via an unusual ring-expansion process. The structure of compound 3 was confirmed by single-crystal X-ray crystallography. The spiroepoxide (oxirane) in compound 3 could be ring-opened with a variety of nucleophiles to give products of potential interest to medicinal chemists.     

The chemistry of 4-hydrazino-7-phenylpyrazolo[1,5-a] -1,3,5-triazines

The reaction of 4-hydrazino-7-phenylpyrazolo[1,5-a]-1,3,5-triazine ( 4 ) with nitrous acid gave 8-phenyltetrazolo[1,5-e]pyrazolo[1,5-a]-1,3,5-triazine ( 5b ), which was determined by pmr and ir spectra to be in equilibrium with 4-azido-7-phenylpyrazolo[1,5-a]-1,3,5-triazine ( 5a ). The equilibrium between the tetrazolo ( 5b ) and azido ( 5a ) forms was studied by pmr and an attempt was made to determine if substituents in the pyrazole nucleus could sufficiently stabilize the tricyclic tetrazolo form ( 5b ) over the bicyclic azido form ( 5a ). Thermal degradation of 5 (a ? b) in an aprotic solvent gave 4-amino-7-phenylpyrazolo[1,5-a]-1,3,5-triazine ( 7 ), indicating the probability of a nitrene mechanism involved in the decomposition. Heating 5 in aqueous base gave both 7 and the “hydroxy” analog, 7-phenylpyrazolo[1,5-a]-1,3,5-triazin-4(3H)one ( 6 ), further substantiating the existence of a nitrene intermediate with a competing nucleophilic displacement of the azido group by a hydroxyl group. Cyclization of 4 with diethoxymethylacetate (DEMA) gave 8-phenyl-s-triazolo[4,3-e]pyrazolo[1,5-a]-1,3,5-triazine ( 8 ), which underwent thermal rearrangement to 8-phenyl-s-triazolo[2,3-e]pyrazolo[1,5-a]-1,3,5-triazine ( 9 ). Acid catalyzed ring opening of 9 with formic acid gave 3-N-formamido-5-phenyl-2(2-s-triazolyl)pyrazole ( 10 ). The failure of 10 to recyclize to 9 with the resultant loss of water, supported the theory that the rearrangement of 8 to 9 might occur simply as a concerted, thermally induced “anhydrous” rearrangement rather than via a covalently hydrated intermediate or a Dimroth type mechanism (in the base catalyzed rearrangement).
