Synthesis of substituted derivatives of imidazo [5, 1-b] benzimidazole

Heating, either molten or in high-boiling solvents, 1-methyl-2-[(N-phenylthiocarbamoyl)amino] (pyrid-4-yl)-methylbenzimidazole, or refluxing with phosphorus oxychloride in benzene acyl derivatives of 1-methyl-2-[(pyrid-4-yl)(amino)]- and 1-methyl-2 [(phenyl)(amino)]-methylbenzimidazoles, gives the corresponding derivatives of the imidazo [5, 1-b] benzimidazole system, hitherto undescribed in the literature.     

Research on heterocyclic compounds. XXI. Synthesis of imidazo[2,1-b]benzothiazole and imidazo[2,1-b]thiazole derivatives

The reaction of some 2-aminobenzothiazoles and 2-aminothiazoles with ethyl 3-bromo-4-oxopentanoate was investigated with the aim to obtain the corresponding imidazo[2,1-b]benzothiazole and imidazo[2,1-b]-thiazole derivatives, respectively. In some cases, two unexpected side products were obtained together with the required compound and their structures were elucidated: e.g., 2-aminobenzothiazole reacted with ethyl 3-bromo-4-oxopentanoate to give ethyl 2-methylimidazo[2,1-b]benzothiazole-3-acetate together with ethyl imi-dazo[2,1-b]benzothiazole-2-propionate and ethyl 3-(benzothiazol-2-yl)amino-4-oxopentanoate.     

99mTc-radiolabeled imidazo[2,1-b]benzothiazole derivatives as potential radiotracers for glioblastoma

This study presents [^99mTc]BPTG-1 and [^99mTc]BPTG-2 for glioblastoma imaging. In vitro cellular uptakes of these radiotracers were examined in SKOV-3, MCF-7, U87-MG, HT-29, and A549 cell lines. U87-MG cell line displayed the highest radiotracers uptakes. Biodistribution study in U87-MG tumor bearing mice revealed higher uptake of radiotracers in tumor than muscle and brain. Liver, intestine, and kidneys displayed the highest radioactivity uptakes. The main route of radiotracers elimination was hepatobiliary. Due to the brain uptake of these radiotracers, they are promising radiotracers for future studies in the diagnosis of glioblastoma.

A new method for obtaining pyrrolobenzothiazole derivatives, which can be used for the specific synthesis of polymethine dyes with predesignated properties, was developed.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 4, pp. 549–553, April, 1991.     

Synthesis of substituted imidazo[5, 1-b]benzimidazoles

By heating 2-acetylamino-1-methyl- and 1-benzyl-2-formylaminomethylbenzimidazoles with phosphorus oxychloride in toluene, 1,4-dimethyl- and 4-benzylimidazo[5, 1-b]benzimidazoles have been obtained.For part II, see [2].     

Synthesis of some substituted imidazo [5, 1-b] benzothiazoles

Cyclization of formylated and acetylated -substituted 2-aminomethylbenzothiazoles with phosphorus oxychloride gives 3-substituted imidazo [5, 1-b] benzothiazoles, and 3-substituted 1-methylimidazo [5, 1-b] benzothiazoles. Treatment of 2-benzothiazolyl-4-pyridylaminomethane with formic acid gives 3-(4-pyridyl) imidazo [5, 1-b] benzothiazole. 1-Mercapto-3-phenylimidazo [5, 1-b] benzothiazole is converted into 3-phenylimidazo [5, 1-b] benzothiazole by elimination of the mercapto group.     

Structure and properties of substituted imidazo [5, 1-b] benzothiazoles

The properties of 3-phenylimidazo [5, 1-b] benzothiazole(III) are investigated; bromination, nitration, and mercuration are effected, as well as the Mannich and Wilsmeyer reaction, at position 1. Oxidation gives 2-benzoylbenzothiazole(IV). The bromine in 1-bromo-3-phenylimidazo [5, 1-b] benzothiazole (V) is replaced by nitro, butoxy, and sulfide groups. Hydrogen sulfide reduced V to III. The disulfide XVI is obtained from 1-mercapto-3-phenylimidazo- [5, 1-b] benzothiazole (XV).The author thank Yu. N. Sheinker and G. Yu. Pek of the Institute of the Chemistry of Natural Compounds, As USSR, for determiniing and analyzing the PMR spectra.     

Conversion of 2-aminomethylbenzothiazoles into imidazo[5, 1-b]benzothiazoles

A number of substituted 2-aminomethylbenzothiazoles ate synthesized. The corresponding ureas or thioureas are also obtained by reaction with arylisocyanates or arylisothiocyanates. Heating the substituted ureas or thioureas at temperatures above their melting points cyclizes them to 9-substituted 2-hydroxy- or 2-mercaptoimidazo[5, 1-b]benzothiazoles, which are derivatives of a new heterocyclic system.

Reactivity of sym-triazolo[3,4-b ]benzothiazole

The reactivity of sym-triazolo[3,4-b]benzothiazole (I) has been studied. Compound I is stable under the conditions of acid hydrolysis; when it is heated with acetic anhydride in the presence of sodium acetate or with an aqueous solution of alkali, the triazole ring opens with the formation of 2-acetylamino- and 2-aminobenzothiazoles, respectively. Compound I has been brominated in position 3 and has been subjected to the Vilsmeier and Mannich reactions. The thiosemicarbazone and oxime of sym-triazolo[3,4-b]benzothiazole-3-carbaldehyde have been obtained, and the oxime has been converted into the corresponding nitrile. The thioamide, ester, and hydrazide of sym-triazolo[3,4-b]benzothiazole-3-carboxylic acid have also been obtained.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, Vol. 6, No. 7, pp. 916–919, July, 1970.     

Mass spectra of imidazo[2,1-b]thiazole and thiazolo[3,2-f]xanthene derivatives

The general principles of the mass-spectrometric disintegration of imidazo [2,1-b]thiazole and thiazolo[3,2-f]xanthene derivatives were established, and the characteristic fragments were identified. Disintegration proceeding with cleavage of the bonds in the thiazole ring of the 2(3)-ring system is characteristic of all of the investigated compounds. The cleavage of the S-C bonds, which are the weakest in the investigated systems, proceeds especially readily. Intense peaks of ions due to stepwise disintegration of the pyrimidine ring are also observed in the spectra of thiazoloxanthenes.
