Purines, pyrimidines, and related fused systems. 21. Oxidative amination of 3-chloro-6,8-dimethylpyrimido[4,5-c]pyridazine-5,7(6H,8H)-dione

Oxidative amination of 3-chloro-6,8-dimethylpyrimido[4,5-c]pyridazine-5,7(6H,8H)-dione with primary alkylamines and potassium amide in liquid ammonia gives rise to the corresponding 4-amino derivatives as the major products. The reactions with acyclic secondary amines are accompanied by annelation of the pyrrole moiety to the starting heterosystem to form 1-R-3-R"-6,8-dimethylpyrrolo[2",3";3,4]pyrimido[4,5-c]pyridazine-7,9(6H,8H)-diones. The reaction with piperidine as the aminating agent occurs exclusively as aminodehalogenation. The Sonogashira cross-coupling of 4-amino-3-chloro-6,8-dimethylpyrimido[4,5-c]pyridazine-5,7(6H,8H)-diones with terminal alkynes affords 1-R-2-R"-6,8-dimethylpyrrolo[3",2";3,4]pyrimido[4,5-c]pyridazine-7,9(6H,8H)-diones.     

Purins,pyrimidines, and related condensed systems. 22. Synthesis and heterocyclization of 7-alkynyl- and 6,7-dialkynyllumazines

The reaction of 6,7-dichloro-1,3-dimethyllumazine with terminal alkynes under Sonogashira conditions gave 7-alkynyl-6-chloro- and 6,7-dialkynyl-1,3-dimethyllumazines. It was found that the alkynyllumazines readily add primary and secondary alkylamines at the 7-alkynyl group to form stable enamines, hydrolysis of which gives 7-(-hydroxyvinyl)lumazines. The heterocyclization of 7-(-aminovinyl)- and 7-(-hydroxyvinyl)lumazines has been carried out to give pyrrolo-, pyrido-, furo-, and pyranopteridines.__________Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 1, pp. 140–152, January, 2005.

Sonogashira cross-coupling of 3-chloro-6,8-dimethylpyrimido[4,5-c]pyridazine-5,7(6H,8H)-dione with terminal alkynes afforded the corresponding 3-(alkyn-1-yl) derivatives. Oxidative amination of the latter compounds with primary alkylamines was accompanied by heterocyclization to give 6,8-dimethylpyrrolo[3",2":3,4]pyrimido[4,5-c]pyridazine-7,9(6H,8H)-diones.     

Synthesis of pyrroloquinolines from substituted 6-aminoindoles and oxaloacetic ester

It was established that the initial condensation of substituted 6-aminoindoles and oxaloacetic ester in boiling benzene with the addition of catalytic amounts of acetic acid takes place exclusively through the carboxyl group of the keto ester with the formation of the corresponding enamines, which successfully undergo thermal cyclization (biphenyl, 280°C) to pyrroloquinolines. Here, irrespective of the nature of substituents at the N-1 and C-5 atoms enamines with a free position 7 are transformed into pyrrolo-[2,3-f]quinolines (structural analogs of vitamin PQQ) while 7-OMe-substituted enamines give pyrrolo[3,2-g]quinolines with linear fusion of the rings. __________ Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 7, pp. 991–1002, July, 2008.

Purines, Pyrimidines, and Condensed Systems Based on them. 18. Reaction of 6,8-Dimethylpyrimido[4,5-c]pyridazine-5,7(6H,8H)dione N(2)-oxide with Alkylamines

Heating 6,8-dimethylpyrimido[4,5-c]pyridazine-5,7(6H,8H)-dione N₍₂₎-oxide (2) with piperidine or morpholine gave a moderate yield of 3-piperidino- and 3-morpholino-6,8-dimethylpyrimido[4,5-c]pyridazine-5,7(6H,8H)-diones (3a,b). Reaction of N-oxide (2) with ammonia and alkylamines in the presence of an oxidant led to formation of the 3-amino derivatives of 2 and the corresponding desoxy products 3. The latter were also obtained by an independent method by heating 3-chloro-6,8-dimethylpyrimido[4,5-c]pyridazine-5,7(6H,8H)-dione with alkylamines in butanol.

Pyrrolopyrimidines. 5. Reaction of 6-Amino-1,3-dimethylpyrrolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine-2,4(1H,3H)-diones with 1,3-Diketones

The reaction of 6-amino-1,3-dimethylpyrrolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine-2,4-dione with 1,3-diketones leads to formation of predominantly pyrimido[4',5':3,4]pyrrolo[1,2-b]pyridazine-2,4(1H,3H)-diones and, to a lesser extent, pyrimido[5',4':3,4]pyrrolo[1,2-b]pyridazine-1,3(2H,4H)-diones. The ease and direction of the cyclization reaction suggests a very -electron rich pyrrole ring in the initial state, especially in the position 7.     

A short route to 3-alkynyl-4-bromo(chloro)cinnolines by Richter-type cyclization of ortho-(dodeca-1,3-diynyl)aryltriaz-1-enes

Cleavage of ortho-(dodeca-1,3-diynyl)triazenes in HCl or HBr medium and subsequent cyclization of the resulting diazonium salts is investigated. In the absence of a strong electron-withdrawing substituent, the reaction affords 3-alkynyl-4-bromo(chloro)cinnolines as the only product. A methoxycarbonyl group promotes hydrolysis of 4-halocinnolines which results in the formation of by-products: furo[3,2-c]cinnoline and cinnolinone. Substitution of bromine in 3-(alk-1-ynyl)-4-bromocinnolines is achieved with methylamine, Na₂S and ethynylbenzene affording pyrrolo[3,2-c]cinnoline, thieno[3,2-c]cinnoline and 3,4-diethynylcinnoline, respectively.

Synthesis of novel 3-(1,3-thiazol-2-yl)-7,8-dihydroquinoline-2,5(1H,6H)-diones

An efficient method for the synthesis of novel 3-(1,3-thiazol-2-yl)-7,8-dihydroquinoline-2,5(1H,6H)-diones from various 2-dimethylaminomethylidenecyclohexane-1,3-diones, (1,3-thiazol-2-yl)acetonitriles, and dimethylformamide dimethyl acetal was developed. These transformations proceeded through intermediate 2-[2-(4-aryl-1,3-thiazol-2-yl)-2-cyanoethenyl]-3-oxocyclohex-1-en-1-olates. They were isolated as piperidinium salts and used in further heterocyclization reactions with aromatic amines, giving novel 1-aryl-3-(1,3-thiazol-2-yl)-7,8-dihydroquinoline-2,5(1H,6H)-diones.

Substrate and positional selectivity in electrophilic substitution reactions in pyrrole, furan, thiophene, and selenophene derivatives and related benzoannelated systems

Data on the relative reactivities (substrate selectivity) of five-membered heterocycles in electrophilic substitution reactions and positional selectivity (α : β ratio) in these reactions were analyzed. Unlike the substrate selectivity (pyrrole ≫ furan > selenophene > thiophene) determined by the position of heteroatoms in the Periodic Table, the positional selectivity decreases in the order corresponding to the change in the relative stability of the onium states of the elements (O⁺ < Se⁺ ≤ S⁺ < N⁺) and reflects the predominant role of heteroatoms in the stabilization of σ complexes formed upon β-substitution. These differences in the positional selectivity of the parent heterocycles have a substantial effect on the orientation in electrophilic substitution reactions in their derivatives and the corresponding benzoannelated systems. This interpretation was confirmed by ab initio quantum chemical calculations (RHF/6–31G(d) and MP2/6– 31G(d)//RHF/6–31G(d)) and density functional theory calculations (B3LYP/6–31G(d)). Quantum chemical calculations were performed by the above-mentioned methods for model N-R-pyrroles (R = Me, Et, Prⁱ, Bu^t, CH=CH₂, C≡CH, Ph, PhSO₂, and 4-O₂NC₆H₄) and their α- and β-protonated σ complexes. The results of these calculations demonstrated that it is the steric factors and charges on the β-C, α-C, and N atoms and the substituents at the N atom (the kinetic control), as well as the nature of the electrophile, rather than the difference in the relative stabilities of the onium states of N⁺ (which depends on the nature of the substituent at the N atom and reflects the role of the heteroatom in stabilization of σ complexes formed via β-substitution; the thermodynamic control) that are responsible for the type of orientation (α or β) that prevails. Dedicated to Academician V. I. Minkin on the occasion of his 70th birthday. __________ Published in Russian in Izvestiya Akademii Nauk. Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 4, pp. 837–846, April, 2005.
