Pyridinone derivative 8 was synthesized and transformed into the respective chloropyridine 9 which was allowed to react withhydrazine hydrate to afford pyrazolo[34-b]pyridin-3-amine derivative 11 Compound 11 was used as a key intermediate for a facilesynthesis of the title compounds 14 15 17 21ab and 24andashc where the reaction of 11 with some 13-dielecrophiles resulted in theformation of pyrido[210158403101584034]pyrazolo[15-a]pyrimidines 14 15 and 17 whereas diazotization of compound 11 gave the respectivediazonium salt 18 which was coupled with some active methylene-containing compounds to give the corresponding hydrazones19ab and 22andashc Cyclization of the latter hydrazones yielded the pyrido[210158403101584034]pyrazolo[51-c][124]triazines 21ab and 24andashcrespectively
1 Introduction
Thiophene moiety is present in a large number of bioactivemolecules having diverse biological activities such as antiin-flammatory [1] anticonvulsant [2] antibacterial [3] and anti-tumor [4] activities Moreover thiophene moiety is a well-known isostere for benzene for example the replacementof benzene ring of the antidepressant drug Viloxazine (IFigure 1) led to a prolongation of half-life [5]
On the other hand several pyrazolo[34-b]pyridinesrevealed interesting biological properties including antimi-crobial [6] antiviral [7] antiinflammatory [8] analgesic[9] and antitumor activities [10] In addition pyrazolo[34-b]pyridines represent the skeleton of pharmaceuticals pos-sessing significant biological activities as represented byEtazolate (II EHT-0202 Figure 1) an anxiolytic drug whichis now in clinical trials for the treatment of Alzheimerrsquos
disease [11] and by Glicaramide (III Figure 1) a potentantidiabetic agent [12]
Following a program dealing with the development ofbioactive heterocyclic derivatives [13ndash15] we report hereina facile synthesis of new pyrazolo[34-b]pyridines 14 1517 21ab and 24andashc bearing a thiophene moiety as newbioactive candidates

Furthermore diazotization of compound 11 furnishedthe respective diazonium salt 18 which was smoothly cou-pled with acetyl acetone (12a) ethyl acetoacetate (12b)ethyl cyanoacetate (2a) malononitrile (2b) and 2-(1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2-yl)acetonitrile (2c) to give the corre-sponding hydrazones 19ab and 22andashc respectively
The hydrazones 19ab and 22andashc underwent intramolec-ular cyclization in boiling pyridine to yield the fused systems21ab and 24andashc respectively (Scheme 3)The IR spectra lackthe characteristic bands of NH groups for products 21a and21b and the nitrile absorption bands for compounds 24a and24c On the other hand themass spectra of compounds 21aband 24andashc showed a peak corresponding to their molecularions Mechanistically compounds 19a and 19b underwentan intramolecular cyclization via loss of a water moleculefrom the intermediates 20a and 20b to give compounds21a and 21b respectively Michael-addition of the endocyclicNH of the hydrazones 22andashc to their nitrile functionalitygave the corresponding compounds 24andashc as reported in theliterature for an analogous system [16]
4 Conclusion
Pyrazolo[34-b]pyridine derivative 11 acts as a key intermedi-ate for the straightforward synthesis of the title compounds14 15 17 21ab and 24andashc These derivatives were synthe-sized starting from readily available reagents using conve-nient procedures Further chemical and biological studies onsuch compounds will be reported in a due course

Scheme 3 Synthesis of pyrido[210158403101584034]pyrazolo[51-c][1 2 4]triazines 21ab and 24andashc
Subsequently reaction of pyridinone derivative 8with phosphorous oxychloride gave the corresponding2-chloropyridine 9 (Scheme 1) in 87 yield The reactionof compound 9 with hydrazine hydrate in ethanol at refluxgave the corresponding 56-dimethyl-4-(2-thienyl)-1H-pyrazolo[34-b]pyridin-3-amine (11) (Scheme 1) The IRspectrum of 11 showed absorption bands due to NH andNH2
functionalities in the region 3301ndash3134 cmminus1 The
signals of protons of NH and NH2groups appeared at 120575 1198
and 491 respectively and disappeared after D2O exchange
The reaction of the pyrazolo[34-b]pyridine derivative 11with acetylacetone (12a) or ethyl acetoacetate (12b) in glacialacetic acid gave in both cases a single product The reactionproducts were identified as pyrido[210158403101584034]pyrazolo[15-a]pyrimidines 14 and 15 respectively (Scheme 2) The struc-tures of the latter compounds were established on the basis of

their spectral data For example the 1H NMR of compound14 showed four singlet signals ofmethyl groups in the region120575229ndash281 in addition to a singlet signal due to the pyrimidineproton around120575 727while its 13CNMRexhibited four signalsin the region 120575 1647ndash2517 due to four methyl groups Themass spectrum of 14 showed a peak corresponding to itsmolecular ion atmz 3089 [M]+
The reaction of compound 11with ethyl cyanoacetate (2a)gave the pyrido[210158403101584034]pyrazolo[15-a]pyrimidine-2(1H)-one derivative 17 (Scheme 2) The IR spectrum of 17 showedbands due to NH
2and NH functionalities in the region
3340ndash3150 cmminus1 in addition to a carbonyl band at 1685 cmminus11H NMR spectrum of 17 revealed two signals (D
2O-
exchangeable) around 120575 40 and 78 which were assigned toNH2and NH protons respectively
Furthermore diazotization of compound 11 furnishedthe respective diazonium salt 18 which was smoothly cou-pled with acetyl acetone (12a) ethyl acetoacetate (12b)ethyl cyanoacetate (2a) malononitrile (2b) and 2-(1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2-yl)acetonitrile (2c) to give the corre-sponding hydrazones 19ab and 22andashc respectively
The hydrazones 19ab and 22andashc underwent intramolec-ular cyclization in boiling pyridine to yield the fused systems21ab and 24andashc respectively (Scheme 3)The IR spectra lackthe characteristic bands of NH groups for products 21a and21b and the nitrile absorption bands for compounds 24a and24c On the other hand themass spectra of compounds 21aband 24andashc showed a peak corresponding to their molecularions Mechanistically compounds 19a and 19b underwentan intramolecular cyclization via loss of a water moleculefrom the intermediates 20a and 20b to give compounds21a and 21b respectively Michael-addition of the endocyclicNH of the hydrazones 22andashc to their nitrile functionalitygave the corresponding compounds 24andashc as reported in theliterature for an analogous system [16]
4 Conclusion
Pyrazolo[34-b]pyridine derivative 11 acts as a key intermedi-ate for the straightforward synthesis of the title compounds14 15 17 21ab and 24andashc These derivatives were synthe-sized starting from readily available reagents using conve-nient procedures Further chemical and biological studies onsuch compounds will be reported in a due course

Subsequently reaction of pyridinone derivative 8with phosphorous oxychloride gave the corresponding2-chloropyridine 9 (Scheme 1) in 87 yield The reactionof compound 9 with hydrazine hydrate in ethanol at refluxgave the corresponding 56-dimethyl-4-(2-thienyl)-1H-pyrazolo[34-b]pyridin-3-amine (11) (Scheme 1) The IRspectrum of 11 showed absorption bands due to NH andNH2
functionalities in the region 3301ndash3134 cmminus1 The
signals of protons of NH and NH2groups appeared at 120575 1198
and 491 respectively and disappeared after D2O exchange
The reaction of the pyrazolo[34-b]pyridine derivative 11with acetylacetone (12a) or ethyl acetoacetate (12b) in glacialacetic acid gave in both cases a single product The reactionproducts were identified as pyrido[210158403101584034]pyrazolo[15-a]pyrimidines 14 and 15 respectively (Scheme 2) The struc-tures of the latter compounds were established on the basis of

The reaction of compound 11with ethyl cyanoacetate (2a)gave the pyrido[210158403101584034]pyrazolo[15-a]pyrimidine-2(1H)-one derivative 17 (Scheme 2) The IR spectrum of 17 showedbands due to NH
2and NH functionalities in the region
3340ndash3150 cmminus1 in addition to a carbonyl band at 1685 cmminus11H NMR spectrum of 17 revealed two signals (D

exchangeable) around 120575 40 and 78 which were assigned toNH2and NH protons respectively
Furthermore diazotization of compound 11 furnishedthe respective diazonium salt 18 which was smoothly cou-pled with acetyl acetone (12a) ethyl acetoacetate (12b)ethyl cyanoacetate (2a) malononitrile (2b) and 2-(1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2-yl)acetonitrile (2c) to give the corre-sponding hydrazones 19ab and 22andashc respectively

their spectral data For example the 1H NMR of compound14 showed four singlet signals ofmethyl groups in the region120575229ndash281 in addition to a singlet signal due to the pyrimidineproton around120575 727while its 13CNMRexhibited four signalsin the region 120575 1647ndash2517 due to four methyl groups Themass spectrum of 14 showed a peak corresponding to itsmolecular ion atmz 3089 [M]+
The reaction of compound 11with ethyl cyanoacetate (2a)gave the pyrido[210158403101584034]pyrazolo[15-a]pyrimidine-2(1H)-one derivative 17 (Scheme 2) The IR spectrum of 17 showedbands due to NH
2and NH functionalities in the region
3340ndash3150 cmminus1 in addition to a carbonyl band at 1685 cmminus11H NMR spectrum of 17 revealed two signals (D
2O-
exchangeable) around 120575 40 and 78 which were assigned toNH2and NH protons respectively
Furthermore diazotization of compound 11 furnishedthe respective diazonium salt 18 which was smoothly cou-pled with acetyl acetone (12a) ethyl acetoacetate (12b)ethyl cyanoacetate (2a) malononitrile (2b) and 2-(1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2-yl)acetonitrile (2c) to give the corre-sponding hydrazones 19ab and 22andashc respectively
The hydrazones 19ab and 22andashc underwent intramolec-ular cyclization in boiling pyridine to yield the fused systems21ab and 24andashc respectively (Scheme 3)The IR spectra lackthe characteristic bands of NH groups for products 21a and21b and the nitrile absorption bands for compounds 24a and24c On the other hand themass spectra of compounds 21aband 24andashc showed a peak corresponding to their molecularions Mechanistically compounds 19a and 19b underwentan intramolecular cyclization via loss of a water moleculefrom the intermediates 20a and 20b to give compounds21a and 21b respectively Michael-addition of the endocyclicNH of the hydrazones 22andashc to their nitrile functionalitygave the corresponding compounds 24andashc as reported in theliterature for an analogous system [16]
4 Conclusion
Pyrazolo[34-b]pyridine derivative 11 acts as a key intermedi-ate for the straightforward synthesis of the title compounds14 15 17 21ab and 24andashc These derivatives were synthe-sized starting from readily available reagents using conve-nient procedures Further chemical and biological studies onsuch compounds will be reported in a due course
