Abstract

New pyrazolothienopyrimidines were synthesized. The key intermediate 4-aminothieno[2,3-c]pyrazole-5-carbonitrile 1 was converted to the chloroacetyl amino derivative 2 followed by nucleophilic substitution and Dimorth rearrangement upon treatment with nitrogen nucleophiles to give the pyrimidinones 3a-c. Treatment of 3a with formaldehyde and with triethyl orthoformate afforded the respective tetracyclic derivatives 4 and 5. Condensation of the amino group in the o-aminocarbonitrile 1 with triethyl orthoformate followed by cycloaddition reaction with hydrazine led to the formation of pyrazolothienopyrimidine 8. Compound 8 was used as a synthetic precursor to heterocyclic compounds comprised of pyrazole, triazole, triazine, and triazepine derivatives.

Introduction

Pyrazoles and their derivatives are an important class of heterocyclic compounds that exhibit a broad spectrum of biological activities [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22]. Many thienopyrazoles [23, 24, 25, 26, 27] and thienopyrimidines [38, 39] also exhibit exceptional bioactivity [23, 24, 25, 26, 27]. In continuation of our work on synthesis of new bioactive compounds containing thienopyrazole moiety [40, 41, 42, 43, 44], several thienopyrazolopyrimidine derivatives not known previously were synthesized.

Results and Discussion

The synthetic work was initiated by chloroacetylation reaction of 4-amino-3-methyl-1-phenyl-1H-thieno[2,3-c] pyrazole-5-carbonitrile (1), which afforded the chloroacetamido derivative 2 (Scheme 1). Reaction of 2 with various primary aromatic amines furnished the unexpected pyrimidinones 3a-c in good yields. This reaction apparently proceeds by nucleophilic substitution of the chloride ion with the primary amino group followed by Dimorth rearrangement in the presence of excess of the amine [45]. IR spectrum of 3a reveals disappearance of absorption band for the CN group present in compound 2 and appearance of absorption bands at 3440 and 3188 cm-1 that are characteristic for NH groups and absorption band at 1660 cm-1 for the amidic CONH group of pyrimidine. 1H NMR spectrum shows singlets at δ 6.10 and 12.68 attributed to exchangeable NHPh and NH pyrimidine groups.

 Scheme 1

Scheme 1

Treatment of the 5-(phenylaminomethyl)pyrimidinone 3a with formaldehyde in dioxane (Scheme 2) and the reaction with triethyl orthoformate afforded the respective tetracyclic pyrimidinones 4 and 5. Moreover, chlorination of the pyrimidinone 3a with phosphorus oxychloride furnished the chloropyrimidine 6. Both elemental and spectral analyses of compound 4- 6 fully support the assigned structures.

Scheme 2

Condensation of o-aminocarbonitrile 1 with triethyl orthoformate in the presence of a catalytic amount of acetic anhydride produced compound 7 (Scheme 3). Stirring of 7 with an equivalent amount of hydrazine hydrate yielded iminopyrimidine derivative 8. This transformation is characterized by disappearance of absorption band at 2199 cm-1 for CN group in compound 7 and appearance of absorption bands at 3439, 3286 and 3131 cm-1 due to NH and NH2 groups in product 8. 1H NMR spectra show disappearance of triplet and quartet signals for the ethyl group in compound 7 and appearance of singlet signals at δ 5.80 and 8.19 characteristic of NH2 and NH groups, respectively. Condensation of the amino-imino compound 8 with triethyl orthoformate produced the corresponding triazolopyrimidine 9 in an excellent yield, and dihydropyrazolopyrimidine 10 was obtained in low yield upon treatment of 8 with benzaldehyde.

 Scheme 3

Scheme 3

An additional series of novel tetracyclic pyrimidines 11-14 were synthesized by condensation of the aminoimino derivative 8 with different 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds (Scheme 3 and 4). Thus, condensation of compound 8 with diethyl malonate afforded the ethyl triazolopyrimidinyl acetate 11, while condensation with acetyl acetone produced triazolopyrimidine 12 instead of the expected diazepine product. Assignments of compounds 9-12 were elucidated by analysis of TLC, FT-IR, 1H NMR and 13C NMR data. IR spectrum of 11 lacks absorption bands of NH2 and NH groups and shows a sharp absorption band at 1740 cm-1 due to the ester. 1H NMR spectrum exhibits triplet and quartet signals at δ 1.25 and 4.20 with a J value of 7 Hz attributed to the ethyl ester group. 13C NMR shows signals at δ 14.5 and 61.4 for the ethyl group, in addition to the signal at 168.9 ppm for the ester carbonyl carbon as shown in Scheme 3.

Apparently, the mechanism of condensation of compound 8 with acetylacetone proceeds via cyclization of the imine with a retro-aldol type elimination of acetone. In a similar manner, condensation of 8 with ethyl acetoacetate and ethyl benzoylacetate afforded the corresponding triazepinones 13 and 14 (Scheme 4). Surprisingly, the treatment of 8 with phenacyl bromide in refluxing ethanol in the presence of triethylamine yielded the 3,8-diphenyltriazine 15 rather than its 2,8-diphenyl isomer. Formation of 15 can be explained by condensation between NH2 of the amino-imino 8 and carbonyl group of phenacyl bromide. The structure of compound 15 was confirmed on the basis of IR and 1H NMR spectra.

Fusion of compound 8 with diethyl oxalate in the presence of acetic acid produced the corresponding triazinedione 17 in good yield. Triazolethione 18 was obtained upon heating of 8 with carbon disulfide in pyridine at 100oC. Both elemental and spectral analyses of the newly synthesized compounds 13-18 are in a full agreement with the postulated structures (Scheme 4).

Conclusions

Convenient and efficient methods for synthesis of novel pyrazolothienopyrimidines 3, 6 and 8 were described. These products were used as versatile starting materials for synthesis of new heterocyclic ring systems with imidazole, triazole, triazine and triazepine rings fused to a pyrazolothienopyrimidine moiety.

Experimental

All melting points are uncorrected. Elemental analyses were carried out at the Micro Analytical Center of Chemistry Department, Assiut University. The analysis for chlorine in compounds 2 and 6 was carried out by titration of chloride ion with mercuric nitrate solutions using a diphenylcarbazide indicator as reported [46, 47]. The FT-IR spectra were recorded using potassium bromide disks on a FT-IR 8201 PC Shimadzu instrument. 1H NMR (300 MHz) and 13C NMR (75MHz) spectra were obtained on a Bruker spectrometer in CDCl3 and DMSO-d6 using Me4Si as internal standard. All reactions were monitored by thin layer chromatography (TLC) on silica gel coated aluminum sheets. Compound 1 was synthesized according to the literature procedure [40, 41], mp 198-200oC.
