Michael Reactions of Arylidenesulfonylacetonitriles. A New Route to Polyfunctional Benzo[a]quinolizines

Abstract: Arylidenesulfonylacetonitriles react in acetonitrile with 1-methylisoquinoline and isoquinolin-1-yl-acetonitrile in the presence of piperidine to give benzo[a]quinolizines 6,9 and 7,10, respectively. The structures of the products were established on the basis of elemental and spectral analyses and their chemical reactivity

2-(4-Chloro­phenyl)-1,3-di­cyano-6,7-di­hydro-4-imino-9,10-di­methoxy­benzo­[a]­quinolizine–water (2/5)

Crystals of the title compound, C23H17ClN4O2 x 2.5H2O, contain channels filled with highly disordered water molecules. The best structure refinement was obtained by removing the solvent contribution from the intensity data and refining against a solvent-free model. The central six-membered ring of the quinolizine molecule has a slightly distorted screw-boat conformation

Synthesis and Reactivity of 2-(6,7-Diethoxy-3,4-dihydroisoquinolin-1-yl)acetonitrile towards Hydrazonoyl Halides

The synthesis of 2-(6,7-diethoxy-3,4-dihydroisoquinolin-1-yl)acetonitrile (1) has been performed by ring closure of the corresponding amide according to the Bischler-Napieralski method (Scheme 1). Based on spectroscopic data, the tautomeric 2-(tetrahydroisoquinolin-1-ylidene)acetonitrile is the actual compound. The reactions of 1 with alpha-oxohydrazonoyl halides 4 in the presence of Et3N led to 2-(aryldiazenyl)pyrrolo[2,1-a]isoquinoline derivatives 8 (Scheme 2), whereas with C-(ethoxycarbonyl)hydrazonoyl chlorides 14, 2-(arylhydrazono)pyrrolo[2,1-a]isoquinoline-1-carbonitriles 16 were formed (Scheme 4). The structures of the products were established from their analytical and spectroscopic data and, in the case of 8b, by X-ray crystallography

Synthesis and Antimicrobial Activity of Some New Pyrazole, Fused Pyrazolo[3,4-d]-pyrimidine and Pyrazolo[4,3-e][1,2,4]- triazolo[1,5-c]pyrimidine Derivatives

Hydrazonyl bromides 2a,b reacted with active methylene compounds (dibenzoylmethane, acetylacetone, ethyl acetoacetate, phenacyl cyanide, acetoacetanilide, ethyl cyanoacetate, cyanoacetamide and malononitrile) to afford the corresponding 1,3,4,5- tetrasubstituted pyrazole derivatives 5-12a,b. Reaction of 12a,b with formamide, formic acid and triethyl orthoformate give the pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine, pyrazolo[3,4- d]pyrimidin-4(3H)one and 5-ethoxymethylene-aminopyrazole-4-carbo-nitrile derivatives 13-15a,b, respectively. Compounds 15a,b reacted with benzhydrazide and hydrazine hydrate to afford pyrazolo[4,3-e][1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-c]pyrimidine and [4-iminopyrazolo- [3,4-d]pyrimidin-5-yl]amine derivatives 16a,b and 17a,b. Reactions of compounds 17a,b with triethyl orthoformate and carbon disulfide give the corresponding pyrazolo[4,3-e]- [1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-c]pyrimidine derivatives 18a,b and 19a,b, respectively

Synthesis of 1,2,4-Triazolo[4,3-a]pyrimidine Derivatives by Cyclocondensation of a 2-Thioxopyrimidin-4(3H)-one with Hydrazonoyl Halides

The reaction of 1,2-dihydro-6-(phenylamino)-2-thioxopyrimidin-4(3H)one (16) with N-arylhydrazonoyl halides 15 in CHCl3 in the presence of Et3N under reflux afforded the corresponding 1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-a]pyrimidin-5-ones of type 20 in good yields (Scheme 3). The structure of one of the derivatives, 20d, has been established by X-ray crystallography. Conceivable reaction mechanisms are discussed in Schemes 3 and 4. The products of type 20 easily undergo reactions with electrophiles such as benzenediazonium chloride, chloroacetyl chloride, and NaNO2 in AcOH to give 6-phenylazo, 6-chloroacetyl, and 6-nitroso derivatives 21, 23, and 25, respectively (Scheme 5)

Synthesis and Biological Activity of Some New Pyrazoline and Pyrrolo[3,4-c]pyrazole-4,6-dione 2008, 13 Derivatives: Reaction of Nitrilimines with Some Dipolarophiles. Molecules 2008

Abstract: Several 1,3-diaryl-5-(cyano-, aminocarbonyl- and ethoxycarbonyl-)-2pyrazoline, pyrrolo[3,4-c]pyrazole-4,6-dione and 1,3,4,5-tetraaryl-2-pyrazoline derivatives were prepared by the reaction of nitrilimine with different dipolarophilic reagents. The new compounds were characterized using IR, 1 H-NMR, 13 C-NMR and mass spectra. Biological screening of some compounds is reported
