On the chemistry of 5‐aryl‐2‐hydrazino‐benzo[6,7]cyclohepta[1,2‐b]pyrido[2,3‐e] pyrimidin‐4‐one

Several pyrido[2,3‐e]pyrimidine fused with other rings have been prepared by intramolecular cyclization of 5‐(4‐chlorophenyl)‐2‐hydrazino‐benzo [6,7]cyclohepta‐[1,2‐b]pyrido[2,3‐e]pyrimidine‐4‐one ( 1 ) with acids, carbon disulfide to form triazole derivatives ( 2,4 ), halo‐ketones to give triazine derivative ( 5 ), β‐ketoesters, β‐cyanoesters, and β‐diketones to yield 2‐(1‐pyrazolyl) derivatives ( 7,9,10 ), and aldehydes to form arylhydrazone derivatives ( 11a,b ) which cyclized to form triazoles ( 12a,b ). Also, acyclic N‐nucleosides are prepared by heating under reflux 2‐hydrazino‐benzo[6,7]cyclohepta[1,2‐b]pyrido[2,3‐e] pyrimidin‐4‐one ( 1 ) with xylose and glucose to give the corresponding acyclic N‐nucleosides ( 13a,b ) which are cyclized to afford the corresponding protected tetra and penta–O‐acetate C‐nucleosides ( 14a,b ). Deacetylating of the latter nucleosides afforded the free acyclic C‐nucleosides ( 15a,b ). © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Synthesis,Characterization and Reactions of 4‐Hydrazino‐2‐methylpyrimidino[4′5′:4,5]thiazolo[3,2‐a]benzimidazole

4‐Hydrazino‐2‐methylpyrimidino[4′,5′:4,5]thiazolo[3,2‐a]benzimidazole ( 4 ) was obtained from hydrazinolysis of the 4‐chloro derivative 3 with hydrazine hydrate. The hydrazino derivative 4 was further cyclized to the corresponding pyrazole 5 , pyrazolone 6 and 5‐methyl‐1,2,4‐triazolo[1″,5″:3′,4′]pyrimidino[5′,6′:5,4]‐thiazolo[3,2‐a]benzimidazole ( 9 ) and 5‐methy‐1,2,4‐triazolo[4″,3″:3′,4′]pyrimidino[5′,6′:5,4]thiazolo‐[3,2‐a]benzimidazole ( 10 ), respectively. The triazolo derivative 10 was isomerized to the triazolo derivative 9 under a variety of reaction conditions.     

Synthesis and reactivity of 1‐amino‐4‐methyl‐3,4‐dihydro‐5H‐pyrazolo[3′,4′:4,5]pyrimido[1,6‐a]benzoimidazolo‐5‐one

Pyrimido[2“,1”:5′,6′]pyrazolo[3′,4′:4,5]‐pyrimido[1,6‐a]benzoimidazoloe‐2,8(1H,7H)‐diones, and [1,2,4]‐triazino‐[3“,4”:5′,6′]pyrazolo[3′,4′:4,5]pyrimido[1,6‐a]benzimidazol‐8(7H)‐ones were synthesized in a good yields via 1‐amino‐4‐methyl‐3,4‐dihydro‐5H‐pyrazolo[3′,4′:4,5]pyrimido[1,6‐a]benzoimidazolo‐5‐one and the appropriate active methylene compounds. Structures of the newly synthesized compounds were elucidated on the basis of elemental analyses, spectral data, and alternative synthesis methods whenever possible.     

Stereoselective Synthesis of [5‐[4,4,4,4′,4′,4′‐Hexafluoro‐N‐(2‐hydroxyethoxy)‐D‐valine]]‐ and [5‐[4,4,4,4′,4′,4′‐Hexafluoro‐N‐(2‐hydroxyethoxy)‐L‐valine]cyclosporin A

Addition of various amines to the 3,3‐bis(trifluoromethyl)acrylamides 10a and 10b gave the tripeptides 11a – 11f , mostly as mixtures of epimers (Scheme 3). The crystalline tripeptide 11f ₂ was found to be the N‐terminal (2‐hydroxyethoxy)‐substituted (R,S,S)‐ester HOCH₂CH₂O‐D ‐Val(F₆)‐MeLeu‐Ala‐O^tBu by X‐ray crystallography. The C‐terminal‐protected tripeptide 11f ₂ was condensed with the N‐terminus octapeptide 2b to the depsipeptide 12a which was thermally rearranged to the undecapeptide 13a (Scheme 4). The condensation of the epimeric tripeptide 11f ₁ with the octapeptide 2b gave the undecapeptide 13b directly. The undecapeptides 13a and 13b were fully deprotected and cyclized to the [5‐[4,4,4,4′,4′,4′‐hexafluoro‐N‐(2‐hydroxyethoxy)‐D ‐valine]]‐ and [5‐[4,4,4,4′,4′,4′‐hexafluoro‐N‐(2‐hydroxyethoxy)‐L ‐valine]]cyclosporins 14a and 14b , respectively (Scheme 5). Rate differences observed for the thermal rearrangements of 12a to 13a and of 12b to 13b are discussed.

Synthesis of Furo[2,3‐d]pyridazin‐4(5H)‐one and Its N(5)‐Substituted Derivatives

We report the efficient preparation of furo[2,3‐d]pyridazin‐4(5H)‐one and its N‐substituted derivatives starting from methyl 2‐methylfuran‐3‐carboxylate. The Me group was converted to the aldehyde group, which was then condensed with hydrazine derivatives. Then, the ester functionalities were hydrolyzed to the corresponding acids, followed by treatment with SOCl₂ to give N‐substituted furopyridazinone derivatives.     

2,5‐Dimethyl‐6,7‐dihydrobenzo[h]pyrazolo[1,5‐a]quinazoline and 2‐tert‐butyl‐5‐methyl‐6,7‐dihydrobenzo[h]pyrazolo[1,5‐a]quinazoline

In both 2,5‐dimethyl‐6,7‐dihydrobenzo[h]pyrazolo[1,5‐a]quinazoline, C₁₆H₁₅N₃, (I), and 2‐tert‐butyl‐5‐methyl‐6,7‐dihydrobenzo[h]pyrazolo[1,5‐a]quinazoline, C₁₉H₂₁N₃, (II), which crystallizes with Z′ = 2 in the space group P, the non‐aromatic carbocyclic rings adopt screw‐boat conformations. The molecules of (I) are linked into chains of rings by a combination of C—H...N and C—H...π(arene) hydrogen bonds, while in (II) there are no hydrogen bonds of any kind.     

Spiro[pyrido[3,2,1‐ij]pyrimido[4,5‐b]quinoline‐7,5′‐pyrrolo[2,3‐d]pyrimidines] and Spiro[pyrimido[4,5‐b]quinoline‐5,1′‐pyrrolo[3,2,1‐ij]quinolines] Derived from 5,6‐Dihydro‐4H‐pyrrolo[3,2,1‐ij]quinoline‐1,2‐dione

Reaction of 5,6‐dihydro‐4H‐pyrrolo[3,2,1‐ij]quinoline‐1,2‐dione ( 1 ) with two equivalents of some 6‐aminouracils (or 6‐amino‐2‐thiouracil) generates spirocyclic tetrahydrobenzo[if]quinolizines ( 7 ). The one‐pot, three‐component reaction of amido ketone ( 1 ) with 6‐aminouracil (or 6‐amino‐2‐thiouracil) and a cyclic six‐membered 1,3‐diketone produces spirocyclic tetrahydropyrrolo[3,2,1‐ij]quinolinones ( 15 ).

The title compounds 3 and 5 were obtained from 3,4‐diaminothieno[2,3‐b]thiophene‐2,5‐dicarbonitrile and phosgeniminium chloride and sodium nitrite/HCl, respectively. Substituted condensed thieno[2,3‐b]thiophene derivatives 4 and 6 were synthesized by nucleophilic displacement of the chloroderivatives 3 and 5 .
