Reactions with heterocyclic diazonium salts: New routes for the synthesis of pyrazolo[1,5-c]-1,2,4-triazoles and pyrazolo[1,5-c]-as-triazines

3-Phenylpyrazole-5-(liazonium chloride ( 1 ) couples with α-chloro derivatives of acetylacetone, ethyl acetoacetate and aceto-o-anisidine to yield the corresponding pyrazole-5-yl hydrazonyl chloride derivatives 2a-c . Compounds 2a,b were cyclised to yield either the pyrazolo[1,5-c]-1,2,4-triazole derivatives 3a,b or the pyrazolo[1,5-c]-as-triazines 4a,b depending on the applied reaction conditions. Compound 2c cyclised only into 3c under different cyclization conditions. The pyrazolo[1,5-c]-as-triazine derivatives 4c-e could be prepared via condensation of 2a with potassium cyanide. Compound 2d reacted with aromatic thioles and with sodium benzene-sulphonate to yield the pyrazolo[1,5-c]-as-triazine derivatives 6a-d . Compound 1 reacted with activated double bond systems to yield pyrazolo[1,5-c]-as-triazines 8a,b and 9 .     

The synthesis of substituted [1]benzothieno[2,3-c]quinolines and their N-methyl quaternary salts

Four substituted [1]benzothieno[2,3-c]quinolines 14a-14d were prepared by photocyclization of the appropriate carboxamides 8a-8d to the corresponding [1]benzothieno[2,3-c]quinolin-6(5H)-ones 12a-12d followed by chlorination to 6-chloro[1]benzothieno[2,3-c]quinolines 13a-13d and dechlorination resulting in the title compounds. Treatment of 14a-14d with iodomethane furnished the corresponding N-methyl quaternary salts 5a-5d .     

The synthesis of difluoro[1]benzothieno[2,3-c]quinolines and their N-methyl quaternary salts

A series of difluoro[1]benzothieno[2,3-c]quinolines has been prepared by photocyclization of the appropriate carboxamides. The lactams obtained were converted into the corresponding chloro derivatives which were catalytically dechlorinated into the difluoro[1] benzothieno[2,3-c]quinolines. The latter compounds were transformed into the N-methyl quaternary salts.     

New [g]-fused [1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-c]pyrimidines: Synthesis of pyrido[3,2-e] and [4,3-e][1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-c]pyrimidine,pyrimido[5,4-e][1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-c]pyrimidine and [1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-c]pteridine derivatives

A number of 2-aryl-substituted pyrido[3,2-e] and [4,3-e][1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-c]pyrimidines and [1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-c]pteridines 11,12a,b,e , their corresponding 5-carbonyl derivatives 7,8a,b,e and some pyrimido[5,4-e][1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-c]pyrimidin-5-ones 7,8c,d have been synthesized, according to different pathways. The new tricyclic heterocycles were prepared with the aim of studying their possible benzodiazepine receptors affinity.     

Enantioselective [1,2]-Stevens rearrangement of quaternary ammonium salts. A mechanistic evaluation

Using a supramolecular asymmetric ion pairing strategy, an enantioselective [1,2]-Stevens is feasible on substrates devoid of stereogenic quaternary nitrogen atoms.     

Synthesis of thieno [3,4-c ]- and selenopheno[3,4-c] pyrylium salts

Acylation of 3-acetonyl- and 3-phenacyl-2,5-dimethylthiophenes with aliphatic acid anhydrides in the presence of perchloric acid gives thieno[3,4-c]pyrylium perchlorates. Reaction of the latter with ammonia gives the corresponding thieno[3,4-c]pyridines or diketones of the thiophene series. Selenopheno[3,4-c]pyrylium salts could not be isolated in the acylation of 3-acetonyl- and 3-phenacyl-2,5-dimethylselenophenes.     

Synthesis of imidazo[1,5-c]pyrimidine derivatives

Two complementary procedures, each starting from 6-aminomethyluracil ( 2 ), have been used to prepare imidazo[1,5-c]pyrimidines with a variety of substituents at positions 3, 5, 6, and 7. The starting material, 2 , can be readily prepared from commercially available 6-chloromethyluracil by reaction with anhydrous ammonia. In the first procedure, 2 is acylated and then cyclodehydrated by reaction with phosphorus oxychloride to give a separable mixture of a 3-substituted 5,7-dichloroimidazo[1,5-c]pyrimidine and a 3-substituted 7-chloroimidazo[1,5-c]pyrimidin-5(6H)-one. The relative product distribution is subject to some control by the choice of the acyl substituent on the starting uracil. The resulting dichloro compounds were derivatized by reaction at the 5-position with various nucleophiles, although the 7-chloro substituent is unreactive. An alternative synthetic method proceeds from 2 in six efficient steps (protection as the phthalimide, chlorination, nucleophilic substitution, deprotection, acylation, and cyclodehydration) to 3-substituted-5,7-bis(methylthio)imidazo[1,5-c]pyrimidines. These compounds may also be derivatized by nucleophilic substitution at the 5-position.     

Dealkylation of quaternary 1-alkylazolo[a]pyridinium salts

A convenient method is proposed for the preparation of new derivatives of free heterocyclic bases of imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine, pyrido[1,2-a]benzimidazole, and [1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]pyridine series. This method entails the dealkylation of N-(2-cyanoethyl)- or N-benzylazolopyridinium quaternary salts in the presence of bases and reaction with ammonium formate in the presence of Pd/C, respectively.     

Paramagnetic derivatives of hexahydroimidazo[1,5-c]pyrimidine

Paramagnetic derivatives of hexahydroimidazo[1,5-c]pyrimidine were obtained by the reaction of 2,2,5,5-tetramethyl-4-nitromethyleneimidazolidin-1-oxyl with formaldehyde and primary amines, ethylenediamine, or ammonia. It was shown that the intracyclic C=C bond in these compounds can be reduced selectively by the action of sodium borohydride.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 8, pp. 1101–1104, August, 1987.     

Synthesis of fulleropyrrolidines through the reaction of [60]fullerene with quaternary ammonium salts and amino acids

The reactions of [60]fullerene with amino acids and quaternary ammonium salts in toluene afforded two fulleropyrrolidine derivatives. One fulleropyrrolidine derivative contained a RCH moiety originating from quaternary ammonium salts through C–N bond cleavages and other fulleropyrrolidine derivatives contained a PhCH moiety originating from toluene through C–H bond cleavage. By using chlorobenzene instead of toluene as solvent, only one fulleropyrrolidine derivative containing a RCH moiety was obtained in the reactions.     

Photopolymerization of vinyl monomers with quaternary ammonium salts

Photopolymerization of vinyl monomers with a series of quaternary ammonium salts has been investigated. However, quaternary ammonium salts used are not photosensitizers but rather photoinitiators. The salts photoinitiation activity was observed to vary widely with the counteranion in quaternary salts used and also with the alkyl group in their amine components. In general, the halide salts were more effective than tetrafluoroborate salts. It was also found that the overall activation energy for the photopolymerization of methyl methacrylate with dimethylbenzylanilinium tetrafluoroborate was 5.9 kcal/mole, and its rate was proportional to the 0.32 and 1.0 order of the concentration of the salt and the monomer used, respectively. An endgroup similar to dimethylaniline was found to be present in the methyl methacrylate polymer obtained by above system; this is probably a methylanilinomethyl group, from the characteristics of its ultraviolet spectrum.     

The adsorption of quaternary ammonium salts at a mercury solution interface: Part II. Non-symmetrical quaternary ammonium salts

The adsorption of triethyl alkyl (and allyl) ammonium bromides on a mercury electrode has been investigated.
