Synthesis and anticonvulsant activities of 5-(2-Chlorophenyl)-7H-pyrido[4,3-f][1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a][1,4]diazepines

A group of 5-(2-chlorophenyl)-10-(substituted)-7H-pyrido[4,3-f][1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a][1,4]diazepines 7a-c were synthesized by the acid catalyzed reaction of 5-(2-chlorophenyl)-2-hydrazino-3H-pyrido[3,4-e]-[1,4]diazepine ( 6 ) with either trimethyl orthoformate, triethyl orthoacetate or triethyl orthobenzoate, respectively. 5-(2-Chlorophenyl)-7H-pyrido[4,3-f][1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a][1,4]diazepine ( 7a ) and 5-(2-chlo-rophenyl)-10-methyl-7H-pyrido[4,3-f][1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a][1,4]diazepine ( 7b ) exhibited good anticonvulsant activity in the subcutaneous metrazol anticonvulsant screen which serves as a model for absence (petit mal) epilepsy.

Treatment of 5-methylmercapto-1,4-benzodiazepine (I) with hydrazine hydrate gave the 5-hydrazino derivative (II, R = H) which, in turn, was conveniently cyclized to the title compounds. Another method for the synthesis of triazolo [4,3-d] [1,4] benzodiazepines (III) is also described.     

Novel anionic annelation tactics for construction of fused heteroaromatic frameworks. 1. Synthesis of 4-substituted pyrazolo[3,4-c]quinolines, 9-substituted pyrazolo[3,4-c]quinolines, and 1,4-dihydrochromeno[4,3-c]pyrazoles

4-Substituted pyrazolo[4,3-c]quinolines 4a-i and 6a-b were prepared from pyrazole 3 whereas 9-substituted pyrazolo[3,4-c]quinolines 9a-d and 17 were prepared from pyrazole 13 utilizing anionic annelation techniques. 1,4-dihydrochromeno[4,3-c]pyrazoles 7a-c were accessed from pyrazole 3, extending the method for the synthesis of 4a-i.     

Diazepines. III. Synthesis of 4H-Pyrrolo[1,2-a] thieno[3,2-f] [1,4] diazepines

The synthesis of 4H-pyrrolo[1,2-a]thieno[3,2-f] [1,4]diazepines ( 8 ) is described. Phthal-imidomethylfurans 1 were treated with bromine-methanol to give the dihydrofurans 2 , which were hydrolyzed and then liydrogenated over Raney nickel or with zinc-acetic acid to afford the 1,4-diketones 5 . Condensation of 2-amino-3-benzoylthiophenes 6 with 5 gave 3-benzoyl-2-pyrrolylthiopenes 7 . The removal of the phthaloyl group from 7 with hydrazine hydrate and ring closure to the diazepine ring yielded the new heterocycles 8 .     

A new entry to pyrazolo[4,3‐e][1,4]diazepines. Facile synthesis of pyrazolo [4,3‐e][1,4]diazepin‐5,8‐diones, 5,6,8‐triones and pyrazolo[4,3‐e]pyrrolo‐[1,2‐a][1,4]diazepin‐5,10‐diones

New access to 4-phenyl-6H-pyrrolo[1,2-a]thieno[3,2-f]-[1,4]diazepines

Pyrrolo[1,2-a]thieno[3,2-f][1,4]diazepines were obtained in an original one step synthesis by treatment of imines 1 with paraformaldehyde in refluxing ethanol. The intermediate Mannich bases were also converted into the thienooxadiazocines 12 and the diazepine N-oxide 13 .     

An efficient strategy for the general synthesis of 3-aryl substituted pyrazolo[5,1-c][1,4]benzoxazines and pyrazolo[1,5-a][1,4]benzodiazepin-6(4H)-ones

An efficient strategy for the general synthesis of 3-aryl substituted pyrazolo[5,1-c][1,4]benzoxazines and pyrazolo[1,5-a][1,4]benzodiazepin-6(4H)-ones has been developed using intramolecular 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition. The hydrazonoyl chloride, the precursor of the cycloadduct, is accessed easily through a two-step reaction carried out in one-pot. It is then used without purification for the base induced formation of the nitrilimine, which undergoes subsequent in situ intramolecular cycloaddition with an alkyne to afford the desired product. The reaction protocol has also been applied in bis-heteroannulation and in the synthesis of uracil derivatives of biological interest. The operational simplicity of the process, the use of cheap starting materials, and the relatively short reaction times required make the process convenient and practical.     

Synthèse et propriétés photochromiques de 1, 3-dihydrospiro[2H-indole-2,3′-[3H]pyrimido[5,4-f][1,4]benzoxazines] et de 1,3-dihydrospiro[2H-indole-2,7′-[7H]thiazolo[5,4-f][1,4]benzoxazines]

Synthesis and Photochrmic Characteristics of 1,3-Dihydrospiro[2H-indole-2,3′-[3H-]pyrimido[5,4-f][1,4]benzoxazines] and 1,3-Dihydrospiro[2H-indole-2,7′[7H]thiazolo[5,4-f][1,4]benzoxazines] Two new series of 1,3-dihydrospiro[2H-indole-ozazine] derivatives were synthesized, the 1,3-dihydrospiro[2H-indole-2,3′-[3H]pyrimido[5,4]pyrimido[5,4-f][1,4]benzoxaines] 4-10 and the 1,3-dihydrospiro[2H-indole2,7′-[7H]thiazolo-[5,4-f][1,4]benzoxaines] 11–17 . These series extend the available range of photochromic properties (rate constant of thermal bleaching, UV/VIS spectrum of the opened coloured form, and photocoloration yield), an interesting feature of variable-transmission materials. The synthesis of these compounds (Scheme 1) required the preliminary synthesis of intermediate β-hydroxy-α-nitrosotherocycles 18 and 19 (Scheme 2). Important amounts of a coloured, non-photochromic, stable secondary product (See 20 ) were found in the condensation in the spiro[indole-thiazolobenzoxazine] series. The photochromic characteristics of the new derivatives were determined using a flash-photolysis apparatus coupled to a fast-scanning spectrometer. The role of the heteroatoms in the oxazine moiety and the role of substitutents in the indole moiety were investigated quantitatively through the study of the photochromic properties and the solvent effects. The presence of an S-atom gives rise to interesting properties which open up new prospects for synthesis and application.

The study of the chemical reactivity of methyloxopyrrolothienodiazepinones led to new derivatives such as oximes, methyloximes, hydrazones and alcohols and also, according to an intramolecular cyclization, to new oxazino[4,3-c]pyrrolo[1,2-a]thieno[3,2-f][1,4]diazepines.     

Synthesis of tricyclic and tetracyclic thieno[3,2-f]-1,4-thiazepines

Reaction of 9 with hydrazine hydrate or 4-chlorophenylhydrazine afforded 5-hydrazino compounds 12, 15 , which were subsequently cyclized to ethyl 5,6-dihydrothieno[3,2-f]-1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-d][1,4]thiazepine-3-carboxylate ( 13 ), 2-(4-chlorophenyl)-5,6-dihydrothieno[3,2-f]-1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-d][1,4]thiazepin-3(2H)-one ( 16 ) and 2-(4-chlorophenyl)-6,7-dihydro-2H-thieno[3,2-f][1,2,4]triazino[4,3-d][1,4]thiazepine-3,4-dione ( 17 ). New thieno-anellated heterocycles were prepared with the aim of studying their affinity for the benzodiazepine receptors.

The reaction of 4-methoxy-5-amino-6-mercaptopyrimidine with 2-oxo-1-chlorocyclopentyl(hexyl)glyoxalate esters gave derivatives of the previously unknown tetracyclic systems 1,2-dioxocyclopenta (hexa)[g]oxazolidino[3,2-f]pyrimido[4,5-b][1,4]thiazines, which are transformed by ammonium acetate into derivatives of 1,2-dioxocyclopenta(hexa) [g]imidazolidino[3,2-f]pyrimido[4,5-b]-[1,4] thiazines. Derivatives of the new tricyclic 1-oxazino [5,4-g]pyrimido[4,5-b][1,4]thiazine system were obrtained by reaction of 6-carbethoxy-7-acetylpyrimido [4,5-b] [1,4] thiazines with hydroxylamine.

Structure and conformations of cycloadducts have been assigned by means of nmr analysis     

Synthesis of pyrazolo[4,3-e][1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-c]pyrimidines

Starting from 1,5-dihydro-4H-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-4-ones, a synthesis pathway to the tricyclic pyrazolo[4,3-e][1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-c]pyrimidines is described. Reaction of 1,5-dihydro-4H-pyrazolo[3,4-d] pyrimidin-4-ones with phosphoryl chloride afforded the corresponding 4-chloro-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidines. Treatment of these compounds with hydrazine hydrate at reflux temperature gave the hydrazino derivatives, which were subsequently cyclized to the titled compounds on heating with orthoesters in ethanol.     

Hapten synthesis for (+)-6-(2-chlorophenyl)-3-cyclopropanecarbonyl-8,11-dimethyl-2,3,4,5-tet rahydro-8H-pyrido[4',3':4,5]thieno[3,2-f] triazolo[4,3-a][1,4]diazepine (E6123).

(+)-6-(2-Chlorophenyl)-3-cyclopropanecarbonyl-8,11-dimethyl-2,3,4, 5-tetrahydro-8H-pyrido[4',3':4,5]thieno[3,2-f]triazolo[4,3-a] [1,4]diazepine (E6123) is a very potent platelet-activating factor (PAF) receptor antagonist and shows potent anti-PAF activities at the microgram level in a variety of animal models. In order to examine the pharmacokinetics of E6123 at low doses, establishment of a radioimmunoassay is required. On the basis of the metabolic pattern of E6123, we synthesized 6-[2-chloro-4-(3-carboxypropyl) phenyl]-3-cyclopropanecarbonyl-8,11-dimethyl-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-8H -pyrido[4',3':4,5]thieno[3,2-f][1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a][1,4]diazepine 22 as a potential hapten. In the synthesis of 22, we developed butynyl carbamate as a piperidine ring N-protecting group to prevent possible side reaction, namely oxidation of the methylene at position 2. This protecting group is stable under usual basic and acidic conditions.
