There are several bicyclic compounds with five-membered heterocycles fused to pyridine rings, where metalation occurs in the smaller ring due to activation by the heteroatom. The ring-A lithiation of imidazopyridines and pyrimidines was discussed in Section II,E,6, but in addition, the a-lithio derivatives of thieno[2,3-6]pyridine 119 (74JHC355), thieno[3,2-... 

The analogous phosphorus heterocyclic systems that include selenium or tellurium are discussed in detail in Chapter 6.12, and the systems incorporating phosphorus and arsenic or antimony are covered in Chapter 6.14. In addition, numerous examples of five-membered heterocyclic systems with phosphorus and elements of group III (B, Al, Ga, In) and group IV (Si, Ge, Sn, Pb) are included in Chapters 6.16 and 6.17 of this volume. The systems with five heteroatoms in a five-membered ring (e.g., pentaphospholide anion and tetrazaphospholium cation) and the fused heterocyclic rings (see Volumes 9-11) are beyond the scope of this chapter and are not covered here.

Oxidative procedures have been utilized for the synthesis of both monocyclic five-membered heterocycles and their ring-fused analogs, although the ease of synthesis of the precursors for the latter ring closures results in wider application of this procedure. A variety of oxidizing agents have been used and the conversion of the benzylidene hydrazidines (221) into the 4-arylamino-l,2,4-triazole (222) was effected with mercury(II) oxide (77BCJ953). 

A versatile method for the synthesis of a variety of five-membered heterocycles and their ring-fused analogs involves the reaction of a neutral 47r-electron-3-atom system with a 27T-electron system, the dipolarophile, which is usually electron deficient in nature. Available evidence, e.g. retention of dipolarophile stereochemistry in the product and solvent polarity exerting only a moderate influence on the reaction, indicates that the cycloaddition proceeds via a concerted mechanism 63AG(E)565, 63AG(E)633, 68JOC2291) and may be represented in general terms by the expression in Scheme 8. 

Unusual heterocyclic systems can be obtained by photodimerizations and for five-membered heterocycles with two or more heteroatoms such dimerizations need be effected on their ring-fused derivatives. Cyclobutanes are usually obtained as in the photodimerization of the s-triazolo[4,3-a]pyridine (540) to the head-to-head dimer (541). These thermally labile photodimers were formed by dimerization of the 5,6-double bond in one molecule with the 7,8-double bond in another (77T1247). Irradiation of the bis( 1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-a]pyridyl)ethane (542) at 300 nm gave the CK0ifused cyclobutane dimer (543). At 254 nm the cage-like structure (544) was formed (77T1253).

Nitrile imines have been added to 1,4-diazepines (246) (143,144), 1,2, 4-triazepines (247) (145), 1-benzazepines (248) (146), 1,4-benzodiazepines (249-251) (147-149), 1,5-benzodiazepines (252, 253) (X = NH) (143,150-153), 1,5-benzothiazepines (253) (X=S) (153). Interest in this area has been stimulated by the known pharmacological activity of many compounds with five-membered heterocyclic rings fused to a benzodiazepine skeleton. 

The synthesis of fused 1,2,3-triazoles is nearly always achieved by treating 1,2-diamines attached to diazines with nitrous acid (e.g., [l,2,3]triazolo[4,5-f]pyridazine (Section 10.13.9.2.1(iii)) and [l,2,3]triazolo[4,5-rf pyrimidine (Section 10.13.9.2.1(iv)), <1996CHEC-II(7)489>). When a heterocyclic system containing a diazole fused onto 1,2,4-triazine is required, annulation of the five-membered heterocycle is nearly always the most facile route (e.g., imidazo[4,5-r ][l,2,4]triazine (Section 10.13.9.2.l(i)) and pyrazolo[4,3-r ][l,2,4]triazine (Section 10.13.9.2.1(ii))). In support of the latter, the synthesis of the fused six-membered ring of pyrazolo[3,4-r ][l,2,4]triazine from the pyrazo-ledione was reported as low yielding <1996CHEC-II(7)489>. 

This chapter reviews the systems where account is taken of the size of the central carbocyclic ring, the relative orientation of the fused five-membered heterocyclic rings, the types of heteroatoms, their number, and, in rings with more than one heteroatom, their relative situations. 

Abstract This chapter is devoted to recent progress in the chemistry of the 5 5 fused heterocyclic systems. There are four possible modes of 5 5 fusions of the simple five-membered heterocycles leading to four structures containing one heteroatom in each ring. The heteroatoms may be the same or different and may be O, NH, S, Se, Te, P, As, or Sb. The fully conjugated hetero analogs of pentalene dianion have a central C-C bond and are isoelectronic with the 10-7t-electron pentalene dianion. The scope of the chapter is outlined with a survey of various structural types and nomenclature of the parent compounds and their derivatives. New synthetic procedures and synthetic applications of title compounds are presented. This review has concentrated on the new developments achieved from 1997 to September 2007. 

The chemistry of cyclopentafurazans (cyclopen-ta-1,2,5-oxadiazoles) and furazans fused to five-membered heterocycles with one to four heteroatoms has been reviewed (95JHC371). Treatment of 3-amino-4-nitro-l,2,5-oxadiazole with dinitrogen pentoxide yields dinitro-1,2,5-oxadiazole 89 (95MC102). The latter reacts normally with benzenethiol to give the sulfide 90,...
