Synthesis of Pyrazolo[1,5‐a][1,3,5]triazine,Pyrazolo[1,5‐a]pyrimidine,and Imidazo[1,2‐b]pyrazole Derivatives Based on Imidazo[2,1‐b]thiazole Moiety

3(5)‐Aminopyrazole derivative ( 6 ) has been synthesized by the reactions of the versatile unreported 2‐cyano‐N ′‐(1‐(3‐methyl‐6‐phenylimidazo2,1‐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 pyrazolo1,5‐a ]pyrimidine derivatives ( 14 – 17 ). Alkylation of compound 6 with various halo reagents, followed by intramolecular cyclization, yielded the corresponding imidazo1,2‐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.
