Electrophilic heterocyclization of 6-alken(yn)ylsulfanyl-pyrazolo[3,4-<Emphasis Type="Italic">d</Emphasis>]pyrimidin-4(5<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>)-ones

6-Allylsulfanyl-1-arylpyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-4(5H)-ones react with iodine and sulfuric acid to give angular pyrazolothiazolopyrimidine derivatives. The reaction of 6-(prop-2-yn-1-ylsulfanyl)-1-(4-tolyl)-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-4(5H)-one with sulfuric acid gives angularly fused pyrazolo[4,3-e][1,3]thiazolo-[3,2-a]pyrimidin-4-one, whereas in the reaction with sodium methoxide linearly fused pyrazolo[3,4-d][1,3]-thiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidin-4-one was formed. Linearly fused pyrazolo[3′,4′:4,5]pyrimido[2,1-b][1,3]thiazole derivatives were also obtained by reaction of 1-aryl-6-(3-phenylprop-2-en-1-ylsulfanyl)pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-4(5H)-ones with sulfuric acid.

Synthesis and photovoltaic properties of alternating conjugated polymers derived from indolo[3,2-<Emphasis Type="Italic">b</Emphasis>]carbazole and thiophene/thieno[3,2-<Emphasis Type="Italic">b</Emphasis>]thiophene-cored benzoselenadiazole

Two alternating narrow band gap (NBG) copolymers derived from 5,11-di(N-9-heptadecanyl)-indolo[3,2-b]carbazole (ICZ) and 4,7-di(thien-2-yl)-2′,1′,3′-benzoselenadiazole (DSeBT) or 4,7-di(thieno[3,2-b]thien-2-yl)-2′,1′,3′-benzoselenadiazole (DTSeBT), were synthesized and named PICZ-DSeBT and PICZ-DTSeBT, respectively. The PICZ-DSeBT shows good solubility in common organic solvent, and the PICZ-DTSeBT is soluble in hot o-dichlorobenzene (ODCB) and not good soluble in chloroform, toluene etc. The chemical structure, molecular weight and fundamental physical properties of the copolymers were characterized by ¹H NMR, gel permeation chromatography (GPC), cyclic voltammetry (CV), thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) etc. Potential application of the copolymers to be employed as electron donor material and PC61BM ([6,6]-phenyl-C₆₁ butyric acid methyl ester) for photovoltaic solar cells (PSCs), were investigated. PSCs based on the blends of PICZ-DSeBT/PC₆₁BM (w: w; 1: 2) or PICZ-DTSeBT/PC₆₁BM (w: w; 1: 2) with devices configuration as ITO/PEDOT: PSS/blend/Al, show the power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) of 1.06% and 1.52%, with the open circuit voltage (V _oc) of 0.75 V and 0.70 V, short circuit current densities (J _sc) of 3.45 mA/cm² and 5.30 mA/cm² under an AM1.5 simulator (100 mW/cm²) and the photocurrent response on-set wavelength extending up to 760 nm and 800 nm, respectively. It indicates that the NBG copolymers are viable electron donor materials for PSCs.

Derivatives of the 5H-thiazolo[3,2-b]- and 2H-thiazolo[2,3-c]-as-triazine systems were synthesized via condensation of tetrahydro-I-methyl-as-triazine-3(2H)-thione with ethylene dibromide and ethyl bromoacetate, respectively. An hypothesis is given for the formation of the [3,2-b] system in one of these reactions and the [2,3-c] system in the other. Structure proof was accomplished by an unequivocal synthesis of one of the [2,3-c] derivatives.     

Facile synthesis of novel indolo[3,2-b]carbazole derivatives and a chromogenic-sensing 5,12-dihydroindolo[3,2-b]carbazole

Novel indolo[3,2-b]carbazole derivatives and a chromogenic-sensing 5,12-dihydroindolo[3,2-b]carbazole have been synthesized starting from tetra-tert-butylated 6,12-diaryl-5,11-dihydroindolo[3,2-b]carbazoles, which were prepared via an efficient tert-butylation of 6,12-diaryl-5,11-dihydroindolo[3,2-b]carbazoles.     

Synthesis of 6-methyl-6H-indolo[3,2-c]isoquinoline and 6-methyl-6H-indolo[2,3-c]isoquinoline: two new unnatural isoquinoline isomers of the cryptolepine series

11H-indolo[3,2-c]isoquinoline has been synthesized in two steps starting from 4-bromoisoquinoline and 2-bromoaniline via a selective Buchwald-Hartwig reaction followed by a Pd-catalyzed intramolecular direct arylation involving C(sp²)-H activation. The synthesis of 7H-indolo[2,3-c]isoquinoline was achieved by a combination of a Suzuki reaction with an intramolecular nitrene insertion reaction starting from 4-bromoisoquinoline and {2-[(2,2-dimethylpropanoyl)amino]phenyl}boronic acid. Selective methylation of the tetracyclic skeletons yielded the title compounds 6-methyl-6H-indolo[3,2-c]isoquinoline and 6-methyl-6H-indolo[2,3-c]isoquinoline, which have never been described in the literature before.     

Synthesis,photophysical and electrochemical properties of novel 6,12-di(thiophen-2-yl) substituted indolo[3,2-b]carbazoles

Novel 5,11-dialkyl-6,12-di(thiophen-2-yl) substituted 5,11-dihydroindolo[3,2-b]carbazoles have been obtained and plausible ways for their further modifications via the Friedel–Crafts reaction are presented. The formylation of these indolo[3,2-b]carbazoles with dichloromethyl alkyl esters catalysed by Lewis acids leads to the formation of the corresponding 2,8-diformyl derivatives. Applicability of this formylation method for modification of indolo[3,2-b]carbazoles bearing electron-rich aromatic substituents at C-6 and C-12 has also been demonstrated. The Knoevenagel condensation of 2,8-dialdehydes with active methylene nitriles has been studied.

Synthesis of novel 2,8-disubstituted indolo[3,2-b]carbazoles

A new synthetic pathway towards 2,8-difunctionalised indolo[3,2-b]carbazoles was investigated. The presented method offers a short and high yielding route towards 2,8-dibromo-5,11-dihexyl-6,12-diphenyl-indolo[3,2-b]carbazole. It is demonstrated that the latter compound is a versatile building block, enabling the synthesis of a number of previously unreported 5,11-dialkyl-6,12-diphenyl-indolo[3,2-b]carbazoles in moderate to good yields, using Suzuki and Sonogashira cross-coupling reaction. Furthermore it is shown that 2,8-dibromo-5,11-dihexyl-6,12-diphenyl-indolo[3,2-b]carbazole can be easily formylated, giving rise to the 2,8-diformyl-5,11-dihexyl-6,12-diphenyl-indolo-[3,2-b]carbazole.

Synthesis and some transformations of 4H-pyrano[3,2-d]pyrazoles

The ability of the amide carbonyl group of the pyrazolone ring to participate in the heterocyclization of oxopropyl-5-pyrazolones under the influence of polyphosphoric acid (PPA) or phosphorus polysulfide in dioxane with the formation of 4H-pyrano[ 3,2-d]pyrazole derivatives is demonstrated. Ionic hydrogenation of the pyranopyrazoles leads to 5,6-dihydropyrano[3,2-d]pyrazoles, while the action of phosphorus polysulfide in xylene leads to pyrazolo[5,4-b]thiapyrylium salts.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 3, pp. 317–320, March, 1982.

Polymethine dyes — Indolo[3,2-d]thiazole derivatives

New polymethine dyes with an indolo[3,2-d]thiazole residue are described, and their spectral properties are discussed. Replacement of the vinylene group in the naphtho[1,2-d]thiazole residue by an NH group leads to a considerably greater bathochromic shift of the absorption maximum of carbo- and merocyanines as compared with replacement by a sulfur atom. The basicity of the indolo[3,2-d]thiazole residue is higher than the basicity of the naphtho[1,2-d]-thiazole and thionaphtheno[3,2-d]thiazole residues.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 12, pp. 1606–1610, December, 1972.

Influence of the structures of α-halo ketones and thioamides on the Hantzsch synthesis of thiazoles and thiazolo[5,4-b]indoles. A new approach to 4-acetyl-2-methyl-4H-thiazolo[5,4-b]indole

In reactions with some α-halo ketones (3-bromo-1,1,1-trifluoropropan-2-one, 1-acetyl-2-bromoindolin-3-one, and α-bromoacetophenone), thioacetamide and a series of thioamides of aromatic and heteroaromatic acids are transformed into 4-hydroxy-Δ²-thiazolines rather than into thiazoles (the expected Hantzsch reaction products). To the contrary, thiazoles are produced in the reactions of the same α-halo ketones with thioamides of phenylacetic, diphenylacetic, 3-indolylacetic, or cyanoacetic acids. The abnormal course of the Hantzsch reaction in the former case results from the fact that 4-hydroxy-Δ²-thiazolines, which are intermediates in the thiazole synthesis, undergo virtually no dehydration under the Hantzsch reaction conditions. The ease of dehydration of hydroxythiazolines under the conditions of the thiazole synthesis and the possibility of the spontaneous thiazole synthesis depend on the nature of the substituent at position 2 and, consequently, on the structure of the starting thioamide. The Me, Ar, and Het substituents impede dehydration, whereas substituents containing the α-methylene (methine) unit at the C(2) atom of the thiazoline moiety substantially facilitate this reaction. The conditions for the dehydration of 4-acetyl-2-methyl-8b-hydroxy-3a,8b-dihydro-4H-thiazolo[5,4-b]indole under basic catalysis were found, and a new procedure was developed for the preparation of thiazoles and 2-R-thiazolo[5,4-b]indoles, whose synthesis presents difficulties or is impossible under standard conditions.
