ABSTRACT

6-Amino-3,5-dicyano-4-methylpyridine-2(1H)-thione 1 reacted with a-haloketones to give the S- alkylated derivatives 2a-m. Compound 2a-m undergoes cyclization into thieno[2,3-d] pyridine derivatives 3a-m upon treatment with ethanolic sodium ethoxide. Saponification of 3a gave the amino acid 4 which afforded 5 when refluxed in Ac2O. Treatment of 5 with NH4OAc/AcOH gave 6a. Compound 6a also was obtained when 3c was refluxed in Ac2O. Reaction of 3a with formamide gave 7 and with hydrazine hydrate gave 8. The thiourea derivative 9 was obtained by reaction of 3a with benzoyl isothiocyanate. Compound 9 when refluxed in alcoholic KOH gave 10 and with 98% H2SO4 gave 12. Acetylation of 3a with Ac2O gave the acetyl derivative 13 which on treatment with aniline afforded 14. Compound 14 was cyclized with H2SO4 to 15. Finally treatment of compound 5 with aniline in AcOH afforded 6b.

1. Introduction

Pyridines are among the most intensively studied heterocyclic compound and their chemistry has been reviewed frequently. Many of the pyridinethiones are biologically active as bactericides [1] [2] evaluated pharmacologically and have been found to show activity against diabetes mellitus, as analagesics and antiinflammants [3] - [6] . On the other hand, pyridothienopyrimidines have been the subject of chemical and biological studies on account of their interesting pharmacological properties. A number of syntheses for substituted derivatives of this triheterocyclic ring system, featuring a variety of pharmacological effects have been developed. Such derivatives have analgesic, [7] antipyretic, [8] antianaphilactic, [9] and anti-inflammatory [10] activity. Also, some are clinically effective antialergic [11] or potentially antineophilactic agent [12] , and a few possess significant hypocholesteromic [13] activity. These assets promoted us to prepare new pyridothienopyrimidines with potential biological activity. So, it has been found that 6-amino-3,5-dicyano-4-methylpyridine-2(1H)-thione 1 [14] reacted with a-halo- ketones and a-halonitriles in ethanol and sodium acetate afforded the S-alkylated derivatives 2. The structure of 2a-m was confirmed by 1H NMR which showed a singlet signal at d 4.0 ppm corresponding to the active methylene group. Compound 2a-m undergoes cyclization into thienopyridine derivatives 3a-m upon treatment with ethanolic sodium ethoxide. The 1H NMR of these compounds revealed the disappearance of the methyl group (Scheme 1).

Saponification of the amino ester 3a using alcoholic sodium hydroxide gave the sodium salt of the amino acid 4, which afforded 7-amino-2,9-dimethyl-4-oxo-3H-pyrido[3’,2’:4,5]thieno[3,2-d]oxazine-8-carbonitrile 5 when refluxed in acetic anhydride. Treatment of 5 with ammonium acetate in boiling acetic acid led to the formation of thienopyridopyrimidine derivative 6a. Compound 6a was also obtained by refluxing 3c in acetic anhydride (scheme 2).

On the other hand, when 3a was treated with formamide afforded 7-amino-9-methyl-4-oxo-3H-pyrido [3’,2’: 4,5]thieno[3,2-d]pyrimidine-8-carbonitrile 7. Also 3a was treated with hydrazine hydrate to afford the hydrazide derivative 8. The thiourea derivatives 9 was obtained by reaction of 3a with benzoyl isothiocyante [15] [16] in anhydrous acetone solution. Compound 9 on alkaline cyclization with alcoholic sodium hydroxide give compound 10 instead of 11. The 1HNMR data of compound 10 revealed the absence of aromatic protons and the mass spectrum was compatible with the molecular formula C11H7N5OS2 (M+ = 289). The cyclic amide structure of compound 10 furthermore was defined by comparison its cyclic thioester isomer 12 obtained by ring closure in 98% sulfuric acid at room temperature [17] - [20] . The two isomeric derivatives 10 and 12 are well differentiated according to the alkaline solubility and their 1HNMR and IR spectra. Acetylation of 3a with acetic anhydride gave the acetyl derivatives 13 that on treatment with aniline afforded 14. Compound 14 was cyclized with 98% sulfuric acid to the pyridothienopyrimidine 15. Treatment of compound 5 with aniline in acetic acid afforded compound 6. The structure of these compounds was confirmed by 1H NMR, mass, IR spectra and microanalysis (scheme 3).
