3(5)‐Aminopyrazole derivative ( 6 ) has been synthesized by the reactions of the versatile unreported 2‐cyano‐N ′‐(1‐(3‐methyl‐6‐phenylimidazo[2,1‐b ]thiazol‐2‐yl)ethylidene)acetohydrazide ( 3 ) with phenyl isothiocyanate in KOH/DMF solution followed by reaction with methyl iodide and hydrazine hydrate. Reaction of compound 6 with some 1,3‐dicarbonyl compounds yielded pyrazolo[1,5‐a ]pyrimidine derivatives ( 14 – 17 ). Alkylation of compound 6 with various halo reagents, followed by intramolecular cyclization, yielded the corresponding imidazo[1,2‐b ]pyrazole derivatives 27 , 29 , 31 , and 33 . All newly synthesized compounds were elucidated by considering the data of both elemental analysis and spectral data.     

1,3,4‐Thia‐ and ‐selenadiazole and 1,2,4‐triazolo[4,3‐a]pyrimidine derivatives from hydrazonoyl halides

1,2,4‐Triazolo[4,3‐a]pyrimidines, thiadiazolines, selenadiazolines, and unsymmetrical azines were synthesized via reactions of a 4‐isopropylbenzoyl bromide 4‐nitrophenylhydrazone with each of potassium thiocyanate, potassium selenocyanate, ethyl 6‐methyl‐4‐[4‐(methylethyl)phenyl]‐2‐methylthio‐3,4‐dihydropyrimidine‐5‐carboxylate, and alkyl carbodithioate. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

A convenient route to pyridones,pyrazolo[2,3‐a]pyrimidines and pyrazolo[5,1‐c]triazines incorporating antipyrine moiety

Condensation of 4‐aminoantipyrine with ethyl acetoacetate, ethyl benzoylacetate, and ethyl cyanoacetate furnished the corresponding ethyl 3‐(1,2‐dihydro‐1,5‐dimethyl‐2‐phenyl‐3‐oxo‐3H‐pyrazol‐4‐yl)aminoacrylate and 2‐cyano‐N‐[(1,2‐dihydro‐1,5‐dimethyl‐2‐phenyl‐3‐oxo‐3H‐pyrazol‐4‐yl)]acetamide derivatives. The aminoacrylates derivatives react with acetonitrile and sodium hydride to give 2‐amino‐6‐methyl‐1‐(1,2‐dihydro‐1,5‐dimethyl‐2‐phenyl‐3‐oxo‐3H‐pyrazol‐4‐yl)‐4‐pyridone. Reaction of the cyanoacetamide derivative with dimethylformamide‐dimethylacetal (DMF‐DMA) afforded 2‐cyano‐N‐[1,2‐dihydro‐1,5‐dimethyl‐2‐phenyl‐3‐oxo‐pyrazol‐4‐yl]‐2‐(N,N‐dimethylamino)methylene acetamide in high yield. Treatment of the latter with 5‐aminopyrazole derivatives afforded the corresponding pyrazolo[2,3‐a]pyrimidines. 2‐cyano‐N‐[(1,2‐dihydro‐1,5‐dimethyl‐2‐phenyl‐3‐oxo‐3H‐pyrazol‐4‐yl)]acetamide also reacts with heterocyclic diazonium salts to give the corresponding pyrazolo[5,1‐c]‐1,2,4‐triazine derivatives. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Reactions of 2‐amino‐3‐cyano‐4,5,6,7‐tetrahydrobenzo[b]thiophene and 2‐amino‐3‐cyano‐4,7‐diphenyl‐5‐methyl‐4H‐pyrano[2,3‐c] pyrazole with phenylisocyanate,carbon disulfide,and thiourea

2‐Amino‐3‐cyano‐4,5,6,7‐tetrahydrobenzo[b]thiophene 1a or 2‐amino‐3‐cyano‐4,7‐di‐ phenyl‐5‐methyl‐4H‐pyrano[2,3‐c]pyrazole 2a reacted with phenylisocyanate in dry pyridine to give 2‐(3‐phenylureido)‐3‐cyanobenzo[b]thiophene 1b or 2‐disubstituted amino‐3‐cyanopyranopyrazole 2b derivative. However, when 1a and 2a were refluxed with carbon disulfide in 10% ethanolic sodium hydroxide solution, they afforded the thieno[2,3‐d]pyrimidin‐2,4‐dithione derivative 5 in the former case, 2,4‐dicyano‐1,3‐bis(dithio carboxamino)cyclobuta‐1,3‐ diene 6 and pyrazolopyranopyrido[2,3‐d]pyrimidin‐ 2,4‐dithione derivative 7 in the latter one. Treatment of 2a with thiourea in refluxing ethanol in the presence of potassium carbonate gave 2,2′‐dithiobispyrimidine derivative 9 (major) in addition to pyranopyrazole derivative 10 and 2,2′‐dithiobis ethoxypyrimidine derivative 11 in minor amounts. The structures of all products were evidenced by microanalytical and spectral data. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Indolizines,triazolo[4,3‐a]pyridines,benzimidazo[1,2‐d]oxadiazoles,and pyrazolo[1,5‐c]triazoles via nitrogen and sulfur ylides

The pyridinium salts 2a,b reacted with dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate (DMAD) to give the indolizine derivatives 6a,b . Pyridinium salts 2a,b also reacted with pyrazole‐5‐diazonium salt to afford the hydrazonoyl bromides 8a,b , which on treatment with aqueous ethanolic sodium carbonate furnished the 8aH‐1,2,4‐triazolo[4,3‐a]pyridine 10 . When sulfonium bromide 11 was treated with nitrous acid and with pyrazole‐5‐diazonium salt, it afforded the new hydroximoyl and hydrazonoyl halides 12 and 17 , respectively. Compound 12 reacted with 2‐methylthiobenzimidazole to furnish benzimidazo[1,2‐d]‐1,2,4‐oxadiazole derivative 14 . Treatment of either 12 with 3‐phenyl‐5‐aminopyrazole or 17 with triethylamine resulted in the formation of the same product: pyrazolo[1,5‐c]‐1,2,4‐triazole derivative 16 . © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

The bifunctional 3/4‐[acetyl]phenylsydnones 1a, 1b were subjected to a one‐pot ring conversion to 3‐[3/4‐acetyl]phenyl‐5‐methyl‐3H‐[1,3,4]‐oxadiazol‐2‐ones 2a, 2b , which on further bromination yielded the 3‐[3/4‐bromoacyl]phenyl‐5‐methyl‐3H‐[1,3,4]‐oxadiazol‐2‐ones 3a, 3b . Reaction of these compounds with thiourea yielded the 3‐[3/4‐(2‐aminothiazol‐4‐yl)]phenyl‐5‐methyl‐3H‐[1,3,4]‐oxadiazol‐2‐ones 4a, 4b . The other thiazole derivatives 5a, 5b–7a, 7b were prepared by using thiosemicarbazide, thioacetamide, and thiobenzamide, respectively. In another reaction of the bromoacetyl compounds ( 3a, 3b ) with 2‐aminopyridine and 2‐aminothiazole, the fused biheterocyclic compounds 3‐[3/4‐imidazo‐[1,2‐a]pyridine‐2‐yl]phenyl‐5‐methyl‐3H‐[1,3,4]‐oxadiazol‐2‐ones 8a, 8b and 3‐[3/4‐imidazo‐[2,1‐b]‐thiazol‐6‐yl]phenyl‐5‐methyl‐3H‐[1,3,4]‐oxadiazol‐2‐ones 9a, 9b were obtained. The 3‐[3/4‐(benzofuran‐2‐carbonyl)]phenyl‐5‐methyl‐3H‐[1,3,4]‐oxadiazol‐2‐ones 10a, 10b were obtained by treatment of compounds 3a, 3b with o‐hydroxy benzaldehyde. Most of these compounds exhibited antifungal activity greater than the reference drugs used. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

The reaction of acetic acid 2‐selenoxo‐2H‐pyridin‐1‐yl esters with benzynes: A convenient route to Benzo[b]seleno[2,3‐b]pyridines

Benzyne and its 3,4,5,6‐tetraphenyl, 3‐ and 4‐methyl, 3‐methoxy and 4,5‐difluoro derivatives react with acetic acid 2‐selenoxo‐2H‐pyridin‐1‐yl esters 4a‐e to give benzo[b]seleno[2,3‐b]pyridines 10–15 in modest yields. The benzynes were generated by one or more of the following methods: diazotization of anthranilic acids 5a‐g with isoamyl nitrate; mild thermal decomposition of 2‐diazoniobenzenecarboxylate hydrochlorides 6a‐d treatment of (phenyl)[o‐(trimethylsilyl)phenyl]iodonium triflate (7) with tetrabutylammonium fluoride; and treatment of 2‐trimethylsilylphenyl triflates 8a‐c with cesium fluoride. In all the reactions, the corresponding 2‐(methylselenenyl)pyridines 16a‐d were also obtained suggesting that these reactions may involve selenium addition to benzyne via a SET (single electron transfer).     

Syntheses of some new azolopyrido‐[4′,3′:4,5]thieno[2,3‐d]pyrimidines

Diethyl 2‐[(ethoxythioxomethyl)amino]‐4,5,6,7‐tetrahydrothieno[2,3‐c]‐pyridine‐3,6‐dicarboxylate 2 , prepared from diethyl 2‐isothiocyanato‐4,5,6,7‐tetrahydrothieno[2,3‐c]pyridine‐3,6‐dicarboxylate 1 by boiling in anhydrous ethanol, was converted into pyrido[4′,3′:4,5]thieno[2,3‐d]pyrimidine derivatives 3, 4 by treatment with hydrazine hydrate. The tetracyclic systems imidazo[1,2‐a]pyrido‐[4′,3′:4,5]thieno[2,3‐d]pyrimidine 9 and pyrido[4′,3′:4,5]thieno[2,3‐d][1,3]thiazolo‐[3,2‐a]pyrimidine 10 were synthesized by the reaction of 2 with 1,2‐diaminoethane and aminoethanethiol, respectively. The hydrazino derivative 4 underwent cyclization reactions with orthoesters and nitrous acid to give the corresponding pyrido[4′,3′:4,5]thieno[2,3‐d][1,2,4]triazolo[1,5‐a]pyrimidines 5, 6 and pyrido[4′,3′:4,5]thieno[3,2‐e][1,2,3,4]tetrazolo[1,5‐a]pyrimidine 8 , respectively. Moreover, reactions of 3 with cyanogen bromide, N‐carbethoxyhydrazine, carbon disulfide, and ethylchloroformate resulted in the formation of the new pyrido[4′,3′:4,5]thieno[2,3‐d][1,3,4]thiadiazolo[3,2‐a]pyrimidine derivatives 12–15 . © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Synthesis of Novel Disubstituted Pyrazolo[1,5‐a]pyrimidines,Imidazo[1,2‐a]pyrimidines,and Pyrimido[1,2‐a]benzimidazoles Containing Thioether and Aryl Moieties

A series of novel 6‐[(1,3,4‐thiadiazol‐2‐yl)sulfanyl]‐7‐phenylpyrazolo[1,5‐a]pyrimidines, 5‐phenyl‐6‐[(1,3,4‐thiadiazol‐2‐yl)sulfanyl]imidazo[1,2‐a]pyrimidines, and 2‐phenyl‐3‐[(1,3,4‐thiadiazol‐2‐yl)sulfanyl]pyrimido[1,2‐a]benzimidazoles have been synthesized in four steps starting with 2‐hydroxyacetophenone. The intermediate 3‐[(1,3,4‐thiadiazol‐2‐yl)sulfanyl]‐4H‐1‐benzopyran‐4‐ones reacted with pyrazol‐3‐amines, 5‐methylpyrazol‐3‐amine, and 1H‐imidazol‐2‐amine, 1H‐benzimidazol‐2‐amine via a cyclocondensation to give the title compounds in the presence of MeONa as base, respectively. The approach affords the target compounds in acceptable‐to‐good yields. The new compounds were characterized by their IR, NMR, and HR mass spectra.     

Synthesis of tetracyclic system of 2,4‐di(tert‐butyl)‐6,7‐dihydrofuro[2′,3′:3,4]cyclohepta[1,2‐b]indole

For the first time, tetracyclic compounds, namely, furo[2′,3′:3,4]cyclohepta[1,2‐b]indoles were synthesized by recyclization of ortho‐substituted aryldifurylmethanes containing tert‐butyl groups at C5 positions of the furan rings. It was shown that [2‐(benzoylamino)phenyl]bis(5‐tert‐butyl‐2‐furyl)methanes 12 are transformed into tetracycles 15 at room temperature under treatment with POCl₃ in benzene solution containing some drops of water. The reaction proceeds via the intermediate formation of 1‐benzoylamino‐3‐(5‐tert‐butyl‐2‐furyl)‐2‐(4,4‐dimethyl‐3‐oxopentyl)indoles 14 which can be isolated from the reaction mixture. The method is very simple but its application is restricted due to side reactions if electron‐releasing groups are present in 12 . On the other hand, the decrease of electron density on furan ring in the starting compounds (for example, the use of [2‐X‐phenyl]difurylmethanes (where X = tosylamino or hydroxy group) prevents cyclization under the studied reaction conditions. As a result, corresponding ketones are formed as products of recyclization. J. Heterocyclic Chem., (2011).     

Aromatization and Halogenation of 3,3a,4,5‐Tetrahydro‐3‐aryl‐2‐phenyl‐2H‐benzo[g]indazole Using I2/DMSO,CuCl2/DMSO,and N‐Bromosuccinimide

The treatment of 3,3a,4,5‐tetrahydro‐3‐aryl‐2‐phenyl‐2H‐benzo[g]indazoles 4 with I₂/DMSO led to the oxidation of the five‐member rings ( 5 ) as well as the iodination of N‐phenyl moieties along with oxidation of the five‐member rings ( 6 ). However, the reactions of 4 with CuCl₂/DMSO gave only compounds 5 . The reaction of N‐bromosuccinimide (NBS) with compounds 4 resulted in fully aromatization along with bromination at C‐5 of the indazole rings ( 7 ). The indazole six‐member rings in compounds 5 and 6 also underwent aromatization along with bromination by using NBS ( 7 and 8 ).

Formylation of 4,7‐Dihydro‐1,2,4‐triazolo[1,5‐a]pyrimidines Using Vilsmeier–Haack Conditions

Formylation of 5‐methyl‐7‐phenyl‐4,7‐dihydro‐1,2,4‐triazolo[1,5‐a]pyrimidine 1a using Vilsmeier–Haack conditions yields 5‐methyl‐7‐phenyl‐4,7‐dihydro‐1,2,4‐triazolo[1,5‐a]pyrimidin‐6‐ylcarbaldehyde 3a . 5,7‐Diaryl‐4,7‐dihydro‐1,2,4‐triazolo[1,5‐a]pyrimidines 1b , 1c in this reaction apart from formylation undergo recyclization into 5‐aryl‐1,2,4‐triazolo[1,5‐a]pyrimidin‐6‐ylmethane derivatives 4b , 4c , 5b , 5c , and 6 . The structure of the synthesized compounds was determined on the basis of NMR, IR, and MS spectroscopic data and confirmed by the X‐ray analysis of the 6‐(ethoxy‐phenyl‐methyl)‐5‐phenyl‐[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5‐a]pyrimidine 6 , 5‐phenyl‐6‐(1‐phenyl‐vinyl)‐[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5‐a]pyrimidine 11 , and 7‐phenyl‐6‐(1‐phenyl‐vinyl)‐[1,2,4]triazolo[4,3‐a]pyrimidine 12 .

E‐3‐(N,N‐Dimethylamino)‐1‐(3‐methylthiazolo[3,2‐a]benzimidazol‐2‐yl)prop‐2‐en‐1‐one ( 2 ) was synthesized by the reaction of 1‐(3‐methylthiazolo[3,2‐a]benzimidazol‐2‐yl)ethanone ( 1 ) with dimethylformamide‐dimethylacetal. The reaction of 2 with 5‐amino‐3‐phenyl‐1H‐pyrazole ( 4a ) or 3‐amino‐1,2,4‐(1H)‐triazole ( 4b ) furnished pyrazolo[1,5‐a]pyrimidine and 1,2,4‐triazolo[1,5‐a]pyrimidine derivatives 6a and 6b , while the reaction of enaminone 2 with 6‐aminopyrimidine derivatives 7a,b afforded pyrido[2,3‐d]pyrimidine derivatives 9a,b , respectively. The diazonium salts 11a or 11b coupled with compound 2 to yield the pyrazolo[5,1‐c]‐1,2,4‐triazine and 1,2,4‐triazolo[5,1‐c]‐1,2,4‐triazine derivatives 13a and 13b . Some of the newly synthesized compounds exhibited a moderate effect against some bacterial and fungal species.     

Pyridazine,oxazine, pyrrole,and pyrrolo[1,2‐a]quinazoline derivatives from malononitrile dimer

2‐Amino‐1,1,3‐tricyano‐3‐bromopropene was obtained from bromination of 2‐amino‐1,1,3‐tricyanopropene (malononitrile dimer) with N‐bromosuccinimide. This bromo derivative reacts with hydrazine hydrate, phenyl hydrazine, and hydroxylamine hydrochloride to afford pyridazine and oxazine derivatives, respectively. In base‐catalyzed reactions with primary aromatic amines and anthranilic acid derivatives, it produces N‐aryl pyrrol‐3,5‐dicarbonitrile and pyrrolo[1,2‐a]quinazolin‐5‐imine, or pyrrolo[1,2‐a]quinazolin‐5‐one derivatives, respectively.

Novel Pyrano[2,3‐d]thiazole and Thiazolo[4,5‐b]pyridine Derivatives: One‐pot Three‐component Synthesis and Biological Evaluation as Anticancer Agents,c‐Met,and Pim‐1 Kinase Inhibitors

Preparation of pyrano[2,3‐d]thiazole and thiazolo[4,5‐b]pyridine derivatives through multicomponent reactions (MCRs) was achieved by the reaction of 2‐(2‐amino‐4,5,6,7‐tetrahydrobenzo[b]thiophen‐3‐yl)thiazol‐4(5H)‐one with various active methylene reagents such as ethyl cyanoacetate or malononitrile in basic conditions containing diverse aromatic aldehyde. Furthermore, this study aims to evaluate the in vitro cytotoxic activity of the synthetic compounds against six cancer cell lines, and all the prepared compounds revealed valuable activity compared with the CHS‐828, which is the 2‐[6‐(4‐chlorophenoxy)hexyl]‐1‐cyano‐3‐pyridin‐4‐ylguanidine as the standard drug. Some of the pyrano[2,3‐d]thiazole and thiazolo[4,5‐b]pyridine derivatives showed the highest antitumor activity towards the six cancer cell lines. Moreover, (c‐Met) enzymatic activity of the most potent compounds showed that compounds 3b 2‐(2‐amino‐4,5,6,7 tetrahydrobenzo[b]thiophen‐3‐yl)‐5‐hydroxy‐7‐(2‐hydroxy‐phenyl)‐7H‐pyrano[2,3‐d]thiazole‐6 carbonitrile and 5e 2‐(2‐amino‐4,5,6,7‐tetrahydrobenzo[b]thiophen‐3‐yl)‐5‐hydroxy‐7‐phenyl‐4,7‐dihydrothiazolo[4,5‐b]pyridine‐6‐carbonitrile were with higher activities than foretinib. Three compounds were selected to examine their Pim‐1 kinase where compounds 3b and 7b showed the highest inhibitions.     

An efficient synthesis and crystal structure of novel 1‐oxo‐2‐propyl‐4‐(substituted)phenylimino‐1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8‐octahydro[1,4,3]thiazaphosphorino[4,3‐a][1,3,2]benzodiazaphosphorine 3‐oxides

A series of 1‐oxo‐2‐propyl‐4‐(substituted)phenylimino‐1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8‐octahydro‐[1,4,3]thiazaphosphorino[4,3‐a][1,3,2]benzodiazaphosphorine 3‐oxides ( 5a–g ) has been synthesized in excellent yields via the reaction of 1‐(2‐bromoethyl)‐2,3‐dihydro‐3‐propyl‐1,3,2‐benzodiazaphosphorin‐4(1H)‐one 2‐oxide with (substituted) phenyl isothiocyanates, which contain the proximate imino and phosphoryl groups in the fused heterocycle. The structures of all of the new compounds were confirmed by spectroscopic methods and microanalyses. The results from X‐ray crystallography analysis of 5a showed that the proximate imino and phosphoryl groups are not coplanar due to their being jointly located in the fused heterocycle, thus having ring tension, and this then destroys the conjugation between the CN and the PO moieties. As a result, the length of the P C bond, measured as 1.8285(18) Å, is just the same as that of a P C bond not involved in conjugation (1.80–1.85 Å). Also, the C(1), C(2), S(1), C(3), P(1), and N(2) atoms of the [1,4,3]thiazaphosphorino moiety exist preferably in the boat conformation. The coplanar C(1), N(2), C(3), and S(1) atoms, within an average deviation of 0.0564 Å, form the ground floor of the boat conformation, whereas, the P(1) and C(2) atoms are on the same side of the coplanar structure with the distance of 0.7729 Å and 0.7621 Å, respectively. On the other hand, around the CN double bond, the P(1) C(3) bond and the N(1) C(11) bond are in a trans relationship because of the repulsive action of the n‐propyl group in the 2‐position of the title compound. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
