Preparation of imidazo[2,1-b]quinazolin-5(3H)-ones and related tricyclic systems using a novel,double displacement reaction

New methodology is described for the construction of tricyclic heterocycles. Thus, a double displacement reaction of l-(2-fluorobenzoyl)-2-methylthio-2-imidazoline ( 8a ) with 1,1-dialkylhydrazines gave 10-substituted 2,10-dihydroimidazo[2,1-b]quinazolin-5(3H)-ones in good yield. The corresponding 1-(2-nitrobenzoyl)-2-meth-ylthio-2-imidazolines also underwent double displacement reactions with hydrazines. Other tricyclics made using double displacement reactions were pyrimido[2,1-b]quinazolines, imidazo[1,2-a]pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidines, and imidazo[1,2-a]pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidines. Treatment of 8a with hydrazine hydrate or methylhydrazine gave products resulting from displacement, but did not afford fused benzotriazepinones.

A series of 7-methylpyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidines were reacted with dimethylformamide dimethylacetal to give the corresponding dimethylaminovinyl derivatives. These were reacted with ammonium acetate affording, through a ring closure, a number of 6-methylpyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrido[3,4-e]pyrimidines bearing various substituents on the pyrazole ring.

Design,synthesis, and toward a side-ring optimization of tricyclic thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4(3H)-ones and their effect on melanin synthesis in murine B16 cells

Abstract

Herein, we report the synthesis of 48 novel 3-sulfonylamides containing a tricyclic thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4(3H)-one moiety, and their influence on melanin synthesis in murine B16 cells. All target sulfonylamides were synthesized through key intermediate 3-nitro-thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4(3H)-ones using three types of ipso-nitration reactions. In this case, we converted the pyrido[1,2-a]- fragment of the thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidine moiety to pyrrolo[1,2-a]- and azepino[1,2-a]- side-rings in order to evaluate the bioactivities of the synthesized derivatives for a structure activity-relationships point of view. The obtained results suggest that some of the selected compounds revealed a promising influence on melanin synthesis in murine B16 cells and may serve as lead compounds for further drug discovery and development.

Rearrangement reactions of heterocycles. 12. Rearrangement of 6-substituted pyrido[1,2-a]pyrimidines to isomeric 1,8-naphthyridines and some of their further reactions

2-Amino-6-methylpyridine ( 4 ) reacts with active malonates 2a-d or 3a-d either in acetone solution with triethylamine as catalyst at room temperature or with active malonates 2a-d in acetone solution at reflux temperature to yield the pyrido[1,2-a]pyrimidines 5a-d . 2,6-Diaminopyridine ( 8 ) already reacts without triethylamine with 2a-d at room temperature to afford the pyrido[1,2-a]pyrimidines 9a-d . At higher temperatures pyrido[1,2-a]pyrimidines 5 and 9 are rearranged via ketene intermediates [1] to yield the 1,8-naphthyridines 6a-d , and 10a-d , respectively. The naphthyridines 6 and 10 can also be synthesized directly from 4 or 8 using either diethyl malonates 1 or — with better results — the active malonates 2 at 240–250°. Further reaction of 10a-e with 2c,d leads to the pyridonaphthyridines 12a-f . Nitration of 6c yields the nitro derivative 16 and chlorination of 6c,d gives 15c,d , while the chlorination of 10c affords the di-chloro derivative 17 .
