Synthesis and reactions of 3‐amino‐2‐methyl‐3H‐[1,2,4]triazolo[5,1‐b]‐quinazolin‐9‐one and 2‐hydrazino‐3‐phenylamino‐3H‐quinazolin‐4‐one

The reaction of 3‐N‐(2‐mercapto‐4‐oxo‐4H‐quinazolin‐3‐yl)acetamide ( 1 ) with hydrazine hydrate yielded 3‐amino‐2‐methyl‐3H‐[1,2,4]triazolo[5,1‐b]quinazolin‐9‐one ( 2 ). The reaction of 2 with o‐chlorobenzaldehyde and 2‐hydroxy‐naphthaldehyde gave the corresponding 3‐arylidene amino derivatives 3 and 4 , respectively. Condensation of 2 with 1‐nitroso‐2‐naphthol afforded the corresponding 3‐(2‐hydroxy‐naphthalen‐1‐yl‐diazenyl)‐2‐methyl‐3H‐[1,2,4]triazolo[5,1‐b]quinazolin‐9‐one ( 5 ), which on subsequent reduction by SnCl₂ and HCl gave the hydrazino derivative 6. Reaction of 2 with phenyl isothiocyanate in refluxing ethanol yielded thiourea derivative 7. Ring closure of 7 subsequently cyclized on refluxing with phencyl bromide, oxalyl dichloride and chloroacetic acid afforded the corresponding thiazolidine derivatives 8, 9 and 10 , respectively. Reaction of 2‐mercapto‐3‐phenylamino‐3H‐quinazolin‐4‐one ( 11 ) with hydrazine hydrate afforded 2‐hydrazino‐3‐phenylamino‐3H‐quinazolin‐4‐one ( 12 ). The reactivity 12 towards carbon disulphide, acetyl acetone and ethyl acetoacetate gave 13, 14 and 15 , respectively. Condensation of 12 with isatin afforded 2‐[N‐(2‐oxo‐1,2‐dihydroindol‐3‐ylidene)hydrazino]‐3‐phenylamino‐3H‐quinazolin‐4‐one ( 16 ). 2‐(4‐Oxo‐3‐phenylamino‐3,4‐dihydroquinazolin‐2‐ylamino)isoindole‐1,3‐dione ( 17 ) was synthesized by the reaction of 12 with phthalic anhydride. All isolated products were confirmed by their ir, ¹H nmr, ¹³C nmr and mass spectra.     

Aromatization and ring cyclization: A better understanding on the ring cyclization mechanism of 3‐amino‐6‐hydrazino‐1,2,4‐triazin‐5(2H)‐one reacted with acetic acid in N,N‐dimethylformamide

In this paper we report that the title compound (3) reacts with excess N,N‐dimethylformamide (DMF) containing two equivalents of acetic acid to afford 6‐amino‐1,2,4‐triazolo[3,4‐f][1,2,4]triazin‐8(7H)‐one ( 1 ). When 3‐amino‐2‐benzyl‐6‐hydrazino‐1,2,4‐triazin‐5(2H)‐one ( 6 ), the N‐2 benzylated derivative of 3 , is treated under the same conditions, ring cyclization does not occur; instead, 3‐amino‐2‐benzyl‐6‐(2‐formyl‐hydrazino)‐1,2,4‐triazin‐5(2H)‐one ( 7 ) is formed. Single‐crystal X‐ray analysis of a 3‐ethyl derivative of compound 1 reveals the predominant tautomeric structure to be the 7H‐tautomer (7H‐ 1 ). From these results, we propose a reasonable cyclization mechanism that incorporates two important points: (1) the tautomerism of the N‐2 hydrogen with the C‐5 oxo group aromatizes the 1,2,4‐triazine ring, and (2) the DMF is proto‐nated by acetic acid on the nitrogen atom, then deamination occurs where DMF is attacked by the 6‐hydrazino group of 3 or 6 .     

Aromatization and ring cyclization: A reasonable understanding on the ring cyclization mechanism of 3‐amino‐6‐hydrazino‐1,2,4‐triazin‐5(2H)‐one reacted with one‐carbon fragment reagents or nitrous acid

The cyclization mechanism for the title compound ( 2 ) reacting with one‐carbon fragment reagents or nitrous acid to afford heterobicyclic compounds 6‐amino‐3‐substituted‐1,2,4‐triazolo[3,4‐f][1,2,4]triazin‐8(7H)‐ones ( 3a～d ) or 6‐amino‐1,2,3,4‐tetrazolo[5,1‐f][1,2,4]triazin‐8(7H)‐one ( 4 ), respectively, is explored in this paper. When 3‐amino‐2‐benzyl‐6‐hydrazino‐1,2,4‐triazin‐5(2H)‐one ( 10 ), the N‐2 benzylated derivative of 2 , is treated under the same conditions, ring cyclization does not occur; instead, 3‐amino‐2‐benzyl‐6‐substituted‐1,2,4‐triazin‐5(2H)‐ones ( 11,12,14 ) and 2‐N‐(2‐amino‐1‐benzyl‐4‐oxo‐1,2,4‐triazin‐5‐yl)semicarbazide ( 13 ) are formed. Alternatively, when 3‐amino‐6‐hydrazino‐2‐[(2‐hydroxyethoxy)methyl]‐1,2,4‐triazin‐5(2H)‐one ( 16 ), a compound bearing the 2‐[(2‐hydroxyethoxy)methyl] side‐chain at N‐2 of 2 by an N? C? O bond, reacts with glacial acetic acid or nitrous acid, the side‐chain is cleaved through acidolysis to affford the ring‐closed compound 6‐amino‐3‐methyl‐1,2,4‐triazolo[3,4‐f][1,2,4]triazin‐8(7H)‐one ( 3b ) or compound 4 , respectively. From these results, we suggest a cyclization mechanism that the ring cyclization is dependent on the aromatization of the 1,2,4‐triazine ring, which influence the reactivity and reaction behavior of the π‐deficient 1,2,4‐triazine.     

Synthesis of Novel 3‐(3‐(5‐Methylisoxazol‐3‐yl)‐7H‐[1,2,4]Triazolo [3,4‐b][1,3,4]Thiadiazin‐6‐yl)‐2H‐Chromen‐2‐Ones

A novel series of coumarin substituted triazolo‐thiadiazine derivatives were designed and synthesized by using 5‐methyl isoxazole‐3‐carboxylic acid ( 1 ), thiocarbohydrazide ( 2 ), and various substituted 3‐(2‐bromo acetyl) coumarins ( 4a , 4b , 4c , 4e , 4d , 4f , 4g , 4h , 4i , 4j ). Fusion of 5‐methyl isoxazole‐3‐carboxylic acid with thiocarbohydrazide resulted in the formation of the intermediate 4‐amino‐5‐(5‐methylisoxazol‐3‐yl)‐4H‐1,2,4‐triazole‐3‐thiol ( 3 ). This intermediate on further reaction with substituted 3‐(2‐bromo acetyl) coumarins under simple reaction conditions formed the title products 3‐(3‐(5‐methylisoxazol‐3‐yl)‐7H‐[1,2,4]triazolo[3,4‐b][1,3,4]thiadiazin‐6‐yl‐2H‐chromen‐2‐ones ( 5a , 5b , 5c , 5d , 5e , 5f , 5g , 5h , 5i , 5j ) in good to excellent yields. All the synthesized compounds were well characterized by physical, analytical, and spectroscopic techniques.

Reaction of 1 with nitrous acid afforded tetrazolo[1,5‐a]pyrido[2,3‐d]pyrimidine 6 , which was reduced by zinc dust to give 2‐amino‐pyrido‐[2,3‐d]pyrimidine 7. Finally the reaction of 2‐hydrazino 1 with D‐xylose or D‐glucose afforded the acyclic N‐nucleoside 8, 11 which were converted into tetra/penta O‐acetate acyclic C‐nucleoside 9, 12 in acetic anhydride/pyridine. De‐acetylation of compounds 9, 12 afforded C‐nucleosides 10, 13.

Condensative cyclization of the sugar hydrazones ( 3_a‐f ) by heating with acetic anhydride gave the corresponding 3‐acetyl‐2‐(per‐O‐acetyl‐alditol‐1‐yl)‐2,3‐dihydro‐5‐methylthio{7‐acetyl‐1,2,4‐triazolo[1,5‐d]tetrazol‐6‐yl}‐1,3,4‐oxadiazoles ( 11_a‐f ). De‐O‐acetylation of the acyclo C‐nucleoside peracetates ( 5 and 11 ) with methanolic ammonia afforded the hydrazono lactones ( 7 ) and the acyclo C‐nucleosides ( 12 ), respectively. The structures of new oxadiazole derivatives were confirmed by analytical and spectral data.

Some inimitable and therapeutic coumarin‐substituted fused[1,2,4]triazolo‐[3,4‐b][1,3,4]thiadizole derivatives were synthesized by the cyclocondensation reaction of 2‐oxo‐2H‐chromene‐3‐carboxylic acid ( 1 ) and 4‐amino‐5‐hydrazinyl‐4H‐[1,2,4]‐triazole‐3‐thiol ( 2 ) by using phosphorous oxychloride as a cyclizing agent. This cyclized intermediate 3‐(3‐hydrazino‐[1,2,4]triazolo[3,4‐b][1,3,4]thiadiazol‐6‐yl)‐chromen‐2‐one ( 3 ) later condensation with various ethyl 2‐(2‐arylhydrazono)‐3‐oxobutanoates ( 4 ) in NaOAc/MeOH under reflux conditions afforded the corresponding new series of aryl‐substituted hydrazono‐pyrazolyl‐[1,2,4]triazolo[3,4‐b][1,3,4][thiadiazol]‐coumarin derivatives ( 5 ) in good to excellent yields. The structures of newly synthesized compounds were established on the basis of elemental analysis, IR, ¹H NMR and mass spectroscopic studies.

Treatment of 5a‐c and 6b,c with each of 4‐amino‐3‐mercapto‐1,2,4‐triazoles 9a,b and 4‐amino‐6‐phenyl‐3‐mercapto‐1,2,4‐triazin‐5(4H)‐ones 13 in refluxing ethanol afforded the novel bis(s‐triazolo[3,4‐b][1,3,4]thiadiazines) 10a‐d and 11a‐c as well as bis(as‐triazino[3,4‐b][1,3,4]thiadiazines) 14a‐c and 15 , respectively, in good yields.
