Syntheses of oxazolo[4,5‐c]pyridine and 6‐azaindole

The preparation of oxazolo[4,5‐c]pyridine and 6‐azaindole from 4‐bromo‐3‐pivaloylaminopyridine ( 8 ) is reported. The oxazolopyridine 2‐tert‐butyl‐oxazolo[4,5‐c]pyridine ( 9 ) was successfully prepared from 8 in 78% yield by a new base/TBAB promoted non‐catalyzed microwave cyclisation strategy (10 min) or, alternatively, in 54% yield by conventional heating (48 hrs) and CuI catalysis. The 6‐azaindole 2‐phenyl‐1‐(trimethylacetyl)‐6‐azaindole ( 13 ) was prepared from 8 in a two step procedure, including a Sonogashira coupling reaction.     

Synthesis of new 4,5,6,7‐tetrahydro‐3H‐imidazo[4,5‐c]pyridine derivatives

The synthesis of new ligands for the H₃ histamine receptor is described. These new compounds are spinacine derivatives obtained by alkylation or Michael reaction at C6 position.     

Quantum chemical studies on prototautomerism of 1H‐imidazo[4,5‐c]pyridine

The structural features of the 1H‐imidazo[4,5‐c]pyridine (ICPY) tautomers and homodimers of the most stable tautomers have been studied by quantum chemical methods. FTIR and Raman spectra of the ICPY were recorded in the range of 4000–60 cm^?1 and 3500–5 cm^?1. The predominant tautomer among four possible isomers of ICPY were determined. The optimized geometries and vibrational frequencies of possible ICPY tautomers and dimers were computed by B3LYP/DFT method with 6‐311++G(d,p) and 6‐31G(d) basis sets. All vibrational frequencies assigned in detail with the help of total energy distribution (TED) and isotopic shifts. ICPY dimeric forms were also characterized according to their hydrogen bonding interactions, and it has been found that the most stable ICPY homodimer establishes moderate strong N ? H …N type hydrogen bond. ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, and ¹⁵N NMR properties have been calculated for all tautomeric forms using the gauge independent atomic orbital (GIAO) method. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Synthesis of substituted pyrimido[4,5‐b] and [5,4‐c]‐[1,8]naphthyridines

Ethyl 1‐ethyl‐7‐methyl‐4‐oxo‐1,4‐dihydro[1,8]naphthyridine‐3‐carboxylate ( 1 ), precursor of nalidixic acid, has been converted in two steps through ([1,8]naphthyridin‐3‐yl)carbonylguanidine derivatives into substituted pyrimido[4,5‐b] and [5,4‐c][1,8]naphthyridines.     

New 1,2,3‐triazolo[4,5‐e]1,2,4‐triazolo[4,3‐c]pyrimidine derivatives II

The 7‐chloro‐3‐(2‐chlorobenzyl)‐ and 7‐chloro‐3‐(2‐fluorobenzyl)‐1,2,3‐triazolo[4,5‐d]pyrimidines ( 1 and 4 ), by nucleophilic replacement with some hydrazides, gave the corresponding 7‐hydrazidoderivatives ( 2a‐e and 5a‐e ). These, by heating in Dowtherm, underwent an intramolecular cyclization to form the new tricyclic 7‐substituted‐3‐(2‐chlorobenzyl)‐ and 3‐(2‐fluorobenzyl)‐1,2,3‐triazolo[4,5‐e]1,2,4‐triazolo[4,3‐c]pyrimidines ( 3a‐d and 6a‐d ). The 7‐hydrazino‐3‐(2‐chlorobenzyl)‐ and 7‐hydrazino‐3‐(2‐fluorobenzyl)‐triazolo‐pyrimidines ( 9a and 9b ) were also prepared via the corresponding mercapto ( 7a and 7b ) and thiomethyl ( 8a and 8b ) derivatives.
