Synthesis and reactions of 2,3-dimethylfuro[3,2-c]pyridines

Summary A number of substituted 2,3-dimethylfuro[3,2-c]pyridines was synthesized. 3-(4,5-Dimethyl-2-furyl)propenoic acid (1) was converted to the acid azide2, which in turn was cyclized to give 2,3-dimethyl-5H-furo[3,2-c]pyridine-4-one (3) by heating at 240°C in Dowtherm. The pyridone3 was chlorinated with phosphorus oxychloride to give4, which was reduced with zinc and acetic acid to 2,3-dimethylfuro[3,2-c]pyridine (5). Treatment of4 with several secondary heterocyclic amines led to compounds6a–6c. Reaction of pyridone3 with phosphorus pentasulfide rendered the thione7, which was methylated to8a. The 4-methoxy derivative8b was obtained from4 with sodium methoxide. 2,3,5-Trimethylfuro[3,2-c]pyridine-4-one (9) was obtained by reaction of3 with methyl iodide.Dedicated to Professor Dr.Fritz Sauter on the occasion of his 65th birthday

We have studied the reactions of benzothieno[2,3-c]pyrylium salts with primary amines. We have shown that recyclization occurs in two directions, and whether benzothieno[2,3-c]pyridinium salts or 1-aminodibenzothiophenes are formed is determined by the nature of the primary amine.

Acylation and Cyclodehydration of Benzofuran-, Benzothiophene-, and Indolyl-3-acetic Acid Arylamides. Synthesis of Novel Benzofuro[2,3-c]-, Benzothieno[2,3-c], and Indolo[2,3-c]pyrilium and Pyridine Derivatives

The acylation of benzo[b]furan-, benzo[b]thiophene, and indolyl-3-acetic acid arylamides using acetic anhydride in the presence of 70% perchloric acid occurs at the -position of the heterocycle to give 2-acetylbenzo[b]furan-, 2-acetylbenzo[b]thiophene, and 2-acetylindolyl-3-acetic acid arylamides.

Studies on mechanisms of the rearrangement of thieno[3,2-e][1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-c]pyrimidines into thieno[3,2-e][1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-c]pyrimidines

Recyclization of thieno[3,2-e][1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-c]pyrimidines was studied experimentally and theoretically by B3LYP/6-31G** calculations in the gas phase and in solution (EtOH). The experimentally observed characteristic features of the isomerization (the possibility of the Dimroth rearrangement occurring by the ANRORC mechanism and high energy barriers in acid-catalyzed reactions) were confirmed by quantum chemical calculations. Substituents in the triazole ring were found to play the principal role in the rearrangement. Published in Russian in Izvestiya Akademii Nauk.

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.

(E)-3-{5-[3-(Trifluoromethyl)phenyl]furan-2-yl}propenoic acid (I) was prepared from 5-[3-(tri-fluoromethyl)phenyl]furan-2-carbaldehyde under the Doebner’s conditions. The obtained acid was converted to the corresponding azide II, which was cyclized by heating in diphenyl ether to 2-[3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-4,5-dihydrofuro[3,2-c]pyridin-4-one (III). This compound was aromatized with phosphorus oxychloride to chloroderivative IV which was reduced with H₂NNH₂-Pd/C to the title compound V. 2-[3-(Trifluoromethyl)phenyl]furo[3,2-c]pyridin-5-oxide (VI) was synthesized by reaction of V with 3-chloroperoxybenzoic acid in dichloromethane. On treatment of VI with benzoyl chloride and potassium cyanide (Reissert-Henze reaction), corresponding 2-[3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]furo[3,2-c]pyridine-1-carbonitrile (VII) resulted. 5-Amino-2-[3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]furo[3,2-c]pyridin-5-ium-4-methylbenzene sulfonate (VIII) was prepared by direct N-amination of the title compound V with 1-[(aminooxy)sulfonyl]-4-methylbenzene in dichloromethane. Then, VIII was transformed to a non-isolated zwitterionic N-imid IX which afforded the corresponding furo[3,2-c]pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyridine carboxylic acid esters X, XI by 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reactions with dimethyl but-2-ynedionate (DBD) or ethyl propiolate. The structures of all compounds were confirmed by their IR and NMR spectra.

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.
