1.2.4- Triazolo pyrimidin-4-ones

Also 2-phenyl-4-phenylmethylideneoxazol-5(4//)-one (22) yields pyrazolo- and triazolo-pyrimidines when reacted with aminoazoles (Scheme 13) [94JCR(S)416]. 

The reaction of S-alkylated compound 81 with diazotized anilines proceeded via a one pot tandem Japp-Klingemann, Smiles rearrangement and cyclization reactions to afford triazolo-pyrimidines 82. ° The reaction of 83 and 84 were also studied using this tandem protocol,... 

A combination of the preceding type of synthesis and of cyclization of 4-amino-5-arylazopyrimidine can be seen in the novel procedure of Richter and Taylor. Proceeding from phenylazomalonamide-amidine hydrochloride (180), they actually close both rings in this synthesis. The pyrimidine ring (183) is closed by formamide, the triazole (181) one by oxidative cyclization in the presence of cupric sulfate. Both possible sequences of cyclization were used. The synthetic possibilities of this procedure follow from the combination of the two parts. The synthesis was used for 7-substituted 2-phenyl-l,2,3-triazolo[4,5-d]-pyrimidines (184, 185). An analogous procedure was employed to prepare the 7-amino derivatives (188) from phenylazomalondiamidine (186). 

Tlie chemistry of one of the four possible classes of 1,2,4-triazolopyrim-idiiies, namely l,2,4-triazolo[l,5- ]pyrimidines, was reviewed in 1993 by G. Fischer [93AHC(57)81]. In two previous chapters published in this series we reviewed the chemistry of l,2,4-triazolo[4,3- ]pyrimidines [99AHC(73)131] and their [4,3-c] congeners [99AHC(75)243]. In this chapter we survey the fourth and last class of 1,2,4-triazolopyrimidines. Tlie literature has been inspected to issue number 26, Volume 129(1998) of Chemical Abstracts. 

Diaminopyrimidines fused to a number of heterocycles (35) were also cyclized with one-carbon inserting agents to the corresponding hetero-cyclo-l,2,4-triazolo[l,5-c]pyrimidines 36 (75M1111 81JHC43 97JIC27). 

Reaetion of l,3-benzoxazin-4-ones (43, 44) or trithioisatoie anhydride (45) with amidrazones (46, 47) or thiosemiearbazide (48) resulted in the formation of 3-(l-amidino)- (49-51) and 3-(l-thioureido)pyrimidines (52) respeetively. Compounds 49-52 underwent thermal intramoleeular ey-elization to the eorresponding l,2,4-triazolo[l,5-c]quinazolines (53-56) [68CB2106 76MI1 80PHA582 83MI1 85H(23)2357] (Seheme 18). 

Isothiocyanato-3,3-dimethylbutan-2-one (87) provided the C4N3 fragment that gave, upon reaction with 2-ethylthiosemicarbazide (CN3 fragment) (88), the 3-ethyl-l,6,7,8a-tetrahydro-2,5-dithioxo-8,8,8a-trimethyl-l,2,4-triazolo[l,5-c]pyrimidine 89 (76M1241) (Scheme 33). 

Treatment of 5,7-diamino-l,3,4-thiadiazolo[3,2-n]pyrimidinium ehloride (25) with Vilsmeier reagent gave the 7-formamido-l,2,4-triazolo[l,5-c]pyrimidin-5-one (27) (90JHC851) (Seheme 42). Compound 27 has presumably been formed via rupture of the 1,3,4-thiadiazole ring of 25 and... 

Heating the 5-isocyano-l,3,4-thiadiazolo[3,2- ]pyrimidin-5-one 115 with 10% hydrochloric acid gave a mixture of the 5-imino-l,3,4-thiadiazolo[3,2- ]pyrimidin-7-one 116 (10%) and the l,2,4-triazolo[l,5-c]pyrimidine-5,7-dione 117 (35%) (91JHC489). Formation of 117 probably occurred through thiadiazole ring rupture of 116 and recyclizatioii with its imino function together with desulfurization (Scheme 43). 

In the presence of potassium carbonate, alkyl halides reacted with the imidic acid tautomers 154 of l,2,4-triazolo[l,5-c]pyrimidin-2-ones (153) to afford the 2-alkoxy derivatives 155 (85USP4528288 94JMC2371) (Scheme 60). 

Diazotization of 6,7-diaminothiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidin-5-one 202 results in cyclization to form the triazolo-substituted pyrimidine 203 in good yield <2005JME8253> and has been utilized by a number of groups for related systems (Equation 53) <1997IJB566, 2000PS(163)1, 2005PS(180)1629>. 

Some interesting fused 1,2,3-triazole ring systems have been reported. A series of 5-piperidyl-substituted 7-hydroxy-3f/-l,2,3-triazolo[4,5-d]pyrimidines 143 has been synthesized from pipecolinate esters, benzylazides, and cyanoacetamide <06CHE246>. 4-Alkylidene-5,6-dihydro-4//-pyrrolo-[l,2-c][l,2,3]triazoles 144 were prepared from alkylidenecyclopropanes via diiodogenation/Cu(I)-catalyzed 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition/intra-molecular Heck reaction sequence <06SL1446>. 6,6-Dimethyl-2-phenyl-4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-27/-benzotriazol-4-one 145 were prepared from A-(5,5-dimethyl-3-oxocyclohexenyl)-S,S-diphenylsulfilimine and...
