Synthesis and structure of a new heterocyclic system – 7,8-dihydroimidazo- [1,2-<Emphasis Type="Italic">c</Emphasis>][1,3]thiazolo[4,5-<Emphasis Type="Italic">e</Emphasis>]pyrimidine

The purpose-directed synthesis of a new heterocyclic system, 7,8-dihydroimidazo[1,2-c][1,3]thia- zolo[4,5-e]pyrimidine has been carried out based on the successive interaction of available 2-(aroyl- aminocyanomethylene)imidazolidines with hydrogen sulfide and triethyl orthoformate with subsequent intramolecular cyclocondensation of the obtained 8-aroylamino-7-thioxo-1,2,3,7-tetrahydroimidazo- [1,2-c]pyrimidines under the action of phosphorus pentasulfide or polyphosphoric acid.     

Recent developments in the chemistry of bicyclic 6-6 systems: Chemistry of pyrido[1,2-c]pyrimidines

The present review provides a study on the structural features, reactions, and synthetic methodologies of pyrido[1,2-c]pyrimidines. The maximum deviation from the mean plane of the pyridopyrimidine skeleton of 4-(pyridin-2-yl)-1H-pyrido[1,2-c]pyrimidine-1,3(2H)-dione indicated a reasonably planar system. The aim of this review is to give an overview of the diverse methodologies that have been reported on the chemistry of pyrido[1,2-c]pyrimidines. The different synthetic routes have been grouped according to the way the pyrido[1,2-c]pyrimidine moiety has been created. Thus, pyrido[1,2-c]pyrimidine compounds were obtained by the formation of one bond α to the bridgehead nitrogen atom [6+0(β)] and formation of two bonds from ([3+3], [4+2], and [5+1]) atom fragments. The mechanistic pathways of the reactions are discussed.     

New process for the synthesis of UP 269-6, a 1,2,4-triazolo[1,5-c]pyrimidine derivative as a potent orally active angiotensin ii antagonist

A new synthetic route to prepare the 2-hydroxy-5-methyl-7-n-propyl-8-[[2′-(1H-tetrazol-5-yl)biphenyl-4-yl]methyl]-[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-c]pyrimidine ( UP 269-6 , Ripisartan) is described. UP 269-6 is a non-peptide angiotensin II antagonist currently in phase II clinical trials for the treatment of hypertension and chronic heart failure. Its development needed a suitable process for industrial production. The laboratory scale synthesis was optimized and particularly two key steps: 4-hydrazinopyrimidine formation without isolation of the 4-chloro intermediate and its cyclization into triazolo[1,5-c]pyrimidine derivative without isolation of the triazolo[4,3-c]pyrimidine isomer using urea in N-methylpyrrolidone at 160°C. This cyclization process affords a new and efficient way to prepare directly 2-hydroxytriazolo[1,5-c]pyrimidine without isolation of the corresponding triazolo[43-c]pyrimidine.

The principal fragmentations of 41 azaindolizines having an imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine, imidazo[1,5-a]pyrimidine, imidazo[1,5-b]-1,2,4-triazine, triazolo[2,3-b], -[4,3-b]-, -[3,4-c]- and -[3,2-c]-1,2,4-triazine structure are described. It is shown that each structure has its own characteristic fragmentation pathways except where a Dimroth rearrangement into an isomeric product can be postulated. The degradation scheme is correlated with the number and the position of the nitrogen atoms of the azaindolizines.

Novel Aspects of the Reaction of 3-(Benzimidazol-2-yl)-2-iminocoumarins with Aromatic Aldehydes

The reaction of 3-(benzimidazol-2-yl)-2-iminocoumarins with aromatic aldehydes has been studied. The condensation products 7-aryl-7H-benzo[4,5]imidazo[1,2-c]benzopyrano[3,2-e]pyrimidines or 3-(benzimidazol-2-yl)coumarins are formed depending on the nature of the substituent in the starting 2-iminocoumarin and aldehyde. In DMF medium, 7-aryl-7H-benzo[4,5]imidazo[1,2-c]benzopyrano[3,2-e]pyrimidines isomerize to the corresponding 7-aryl-14H-benzo[4,5]imidazo[1,2-c]benzopyrano[3,2-e]pyrimidines. The effect of the substituent on the isomerization process has been studied and the reaction mechanisms are discussed.

Synthesis of New Heterocyclic Systems on the Basis of 7-Benzyl-3-chloro-1-(morpholin-4-yl)-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-2,7-naphthiridine-4-carbonitrile

Methods have been developed for the synthesis of new 8-amino-3-benzyl-5-(morpholin-4-yl)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyrimido[4′,5′: 4,5]thieno[2,3-c][2,7]naphthyridine starting from 7-benzyl-3-chloro-1-(morpholin-4-yl)-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-2,7-naphthyridine-4-carbonitrile. 8-Hydrazinyl-3-benzyl-5-(morpholin-4-yl)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyrimido[4′,5′: 4,5]thieno[2,3-c][2,7]naphthyridine has been converted to isomeric pentacyclic structures with a triazole ring fused through the [c] side of the pyrimidine ring, and their Dimroth rearrangement has been accomplished in both acidic and basic media. New heterocyclic systems containing pyrrolo[1,2-a]pyrimidinone and pyrimido[1,2-a]azepinone fragments were obtained on the basis of the thieno-[2,3-c][2,7]naphthyridine derivative.     

The Donor-Acceptor-Acceptor Purine Analog: Transformation of 5-aza-7-deaza-1H-isoguanine (=4-aminoimidazo-[1,2-a]-1,3,5-triazin-2(1H)-one) to 2′-deoxy-5-aza-7-deaza-isoguanosine using purine nucleoside phosphorylase

A new synthesis is reported for 4-aminoimidazo[1,2-a]-1,3,5-triazin-2(1H)-one ( =5-aza-7-deaza-isoguanosine; 8 ), a purine analog that, when incorporated into an oligonucleotide chain, presents a H-bond donor-acceptor-acceptor pattern to a complementary pyrimidine analog. A protected ribose derivative was coupled to 8 to yield 4-amino-8-(β-D -ribofuranosyl)imidazo[1,2-a]-1,3,5-triazin-2(8H)-one ( =5-aza-7-deaza-isoguanosine; 11 ) after deprotection, Alternatively, direct synthesis of both the ribo derivative 11 and the corresponding deoxyribo derivative 17 as the β-D -anomers was achieved using the enzyme purine nucleoside phosphorylase in a one-pot reaction. This adapts a known synthetic approach to yield a new strategy for obtaining diastereoisomerically pure deoxyribonucleoside analogs on 1-gram scales.     

Furopyridines. V. A simple synthesis of furo[2,3-c]pyridine and its 2-and 3-methyl derivatives

A simple synthesis of furo[2,3-c]pyridine and its 2- and 3-methyl derivatives from ethyl 3-hydroxyisonicotinate ( 2 ) is described. The hydroxy ester 2 was O-alkylated with ethyl bromoacetate or ethyl 2-bromopropionate to give the diester 3a or 3b . Cyclization of compound 3a afforded ethyl 3-hydroxyfuro [2,3-c]pyridine-2-carboxylate ( 4 ) which was hydrolyzed and decarboxylated to give furo[2,3-c]pyridin-3(2H)-one ( 5a ). Cyclization of 3b gave the 2-methyl derivative 5b . Reduction of 5a and 5b with sodium borohydride yielded the corresponding hydroxy derivative 6a and 6b , respectively, which were dehydrated with phosphoric acid to give furo[2,3-c]pyridine ( 7a ) and its 2-methyl derivative 7b . 4-Acetylpyridin-3-ol ( 8 ) was O-alkylated with ethyl bromoacetate to give ethyl 2-(4-acetyl-3-pyridyloxy) acetate ( 9 ). Saponification of compound 9 , and the subsequent intramolecular Perkin reaction gave 3-methylfuro[2,3-c]pyridine ( 10 ). Cyclization of 9 with sodium ethoxide gave 3-methylfuro[2,3-c]pyridine-2-carboxylic acid, which in turn was decarboxylated to give compound 10 .     

5,6-Dihydro-4H-pyrrolo[1,2-a][1,4]benzodiazepine-4,4-diacetic acid diethyl ester,an useful synthon for the synthesis of new polycyclic nitrogen systems of pharmacological interest

This report describes the synthesis of derivatives of two nitrogen tetracyclic ring systems, respectively 9H,11H-pyrimido[4,3-c]pyrrolo[1,2-a][1,4]benzodiazepine and spiro[piperidine-4,4′-[4H]pyrrolo[1,2-a][1,4]-benzodiazepine], by the use of the diethyl ester of 5,6-dihydro-4H-pyrrolo[1,2-a][1,4]benzodiazepine-4,4-diacetic acid as a synthon. This compound was obtained by condensation of 1-(2-aminomethylphenyl)-1H-pyrrole with diethyl 1,3-acetonedicarboxylate in acid medium. Pyrimidopyrrolobenzodiazepine derivatives were obtained by treating either the pyrrolobenzodiazepine 4,4-diacetate or the related 4-methyl-4-acetate with phenylisocyanate in boiling diethyl ether in the presence of sodium metal. The structure of 12,13-dihydro-11,13-dioxo-12-phenyl-9H,11H-pyrimido[4,3-c]pyrrolo[1,2-a][1,4]benzodiazepine, a product formed by loss of an acetate unit when 5,6-dihydro-4H-pyrrolo[1,2-a][1,4]benzodiazepine-4,4-diacetate, sodium metal and phenyl-isocyanate reacted in boiling xylene, was proved by catalytic reduction to 11,13-dioxo-12-phenyl-12,13,14,14a-tetrahydro-9H,11H-pyrimido[4,3-c]pyrrolo[1,2-a][1,4]benzodiazepine, which was synthesized by unambiguous pathway via 5,6-dihydro-4H-pyrrolo[1,2-a][1,4]benzodiazepine-4-acetate. The 2,6-dioxospiro[piperidine-4,4′-[4H]pyrrolo[1,2-a][1,4]benzodiazepine] derivatives were synthesized from the N-BOC derivative of 5,6-dihydro-4H-pyrrolo[1,2-a][1,4]benzodiazepine-4,4-diacetic acid diethyl ester, by hydrolysis followed by treatment with 2 equivalents of 1,1′-carbonyldiimidazole (CDI) and then with aniline or benzylamine. Removal of BOC from the N-phenyl-2,6-dioxopiperidine derivative was obtained by heating the related spiroderivative in toluene in the presence of p-toluenesulphonic acid. Similar reaction failed when the N-benzyl-2,6-dioxopiperidine analog was used as substrate.     

Studies on the synthesis and interconversion of isomeric triazolotheinopyrimidines. Part II. Effect of 5-substituents on the dimroth rearrangement of 1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-c]thieno[3,2-e]pyrimidines

The triazolothienopyrimidines obtained by the cyclization of 4-hydrazino-2-phenylthieno[2,3-d]pyrimidines with triethyl orthoformate or formic acid presumed to be the triazolo[2,3-c] isomers are now assigned the 5-phenyl-1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-c]thieno[3,2-e]pyrimidine structure. While these [4,3-c]triazoles resist isomerization under acidic conditions, they undergo isomerization to 5-phenyl-1,2,4-triazolo[2,3-e]thieno[3,2-e]pyrimidines under basic conditions.

Synthesis of an imidazo[1,2-c]pyrimidine analog of a thiamine antagonist coccidiostat and a comparison of several methods for the preparation of imidazo[1,2-c]pyrimidines

Several methods for the preparation of imidazo[1,2-c]pyrimidines are presented. Compound 12 was prepared from 11 and chloroacetaldehyde in water using a buffer to control pH. Compound 12 was converted in two steps to 14 , the etheno bridged analog of the coccidiostat 1. Several methods were used to prepare 8-phenylimidazo[1,2-c]pyrimidine ( 16 ). In terms of yield the best method was the reaction of the aminopyrimidine 15 with chloroacetaldehyde in acetone and in the presence of calcium carbonate as an acid scavenger. Reaction of the 4-chloro-pyrimidine 19 with aminoacetaldehyde diethyl acetal gave 16 directly in modest yield.
