The chemical reactivity of novel stable triazene 3 toward some nucleophilic and electrophilic reagents was investigated. Traizene 3 was used as a key precursor for the synthesis of some novel important heterocyclic compounds such as Pyrazole, Isoxazole, Dihydropyrimidine, Tetrahydropyridine derivatives with expected antimicrobial activity. The synthesized compounds were obtained in good yields. The structures of the newly synthesized compounds were confirmed by elemental analysis, IR, 1H-NMR and Ms spectral data.


Introduction
Surfactants are organic compounds that have the ability to decrease the surface tension of water and consisting of two moieties: a non-polar hydrophobic group (referred to as the tail) which is usually a straight or branched long hydrocarbon chain which is attached to a polar hydrophilic group (referred to as the head) [1].Surfactants are widely used in the food, pharmaceutical, cosmetic, textile, paint and coating industries, as emulsifying, wetting and foaming agents, solubilizers and suspension stabilizers [2] [3].Amino acid-based surfactants are characterized by low toxicity, good biocompatibility and fast biodegradation.Some of these compounds also show antibacterial activity [4]- [8].Simple nitrogen-containing heterocycles receive a large amount of attention in the literature, as a consequence of their exciting biological properties and their role as pharmacophores of considerable historical importance.Pyrazolones nucleus have attracted much attention due to their interesting biological activities [9] [10].Pyrazolone derivatives are widely used in medical practice (antipyrine, amidopyrine, analgin, etc.) [11].A large number of thienopyrimidines were reported in the literature as virucides, bactericides, fungicides, acaricides, insecticides [12].In this paper, we have reported a variety of synthesizes of heteroaromatics developed using functionally substituted triazene as readily obtainable building blocks possessing multiple electrophilic and nucleophilic moieties of expected biological interest.

Experimental
All melting points were measured using Akofler Block instrument and are uncorrected.IR spectra (KBr) were recorded on a FTIR 5300 spectrometer (υ, cm −1 ).The 1 H-NMR spectra were recorded in DMSO-d 6 and CDCl 3 at 300 MHz and 400 MHz on a Varian Gemini NMR.1000 EX mass spectrometer at 70 ev.The purity of synthesized compounds was checked by thin layer chromatography TLC (aluminum sheets) using n-hexane, ethyl acetate (9:1, V/V) eluent.Elemental analyses were carried out by the Microanalytical Research Center, Faculty of Science, and Microanalytical Unit, Faculty of Pharmacy, Cairo University, Egypt.
The solution was cooled in ice water, a mechanical stirrer being used, by the slow addition of (0.2 mole) of HCl from a separatory funnel.A solution of glycine ethyl ester hydrochloride in water was added slowly to the diazonium salt solution.The mixture was stirred for 1 hr at 0˚C.The clear solution was treated with a large excess of NaOH (40 mL, 10%) and the triazene precipitated slowly from the reaction mixture.Precipitation was normally evident after 30 min, and was usually complete within 3 hr.

General Procedure for the Synthesis of Palmitoyl Chloride from Palmitic Acid
Palmitoyl chloride was prepared by gently refluxing a mixture of palmitic acid (26.6 gm, 0.01 mol) and thionyl chloride (23.7 ml, 0.01 mol) on water bath maintained at 35˚C -40˚C with shaking.The reaction mixture was refluxed in the water bath for 6 hr.The excess of thionyl chloride was removed by washing successively with water and the residue was dried over anhydrous Na 2 SO 4 to collect the liquid palmitoyl chloride.

General Procedure for the Preparation of Compound (13 a,b)
A mixture of 8 (0.01 mol) and hydrazine hydrate, phenyl hydrazine (0.01 mol) in ethanol (30 mL) was heated under reflux for 12 hrs.The reaction mixture was allowed to cool and poured into crushed ice.The separated solid was filtered, washed with water and crystallized from the proper solvent to give 13a,b.largely from diazo-coupling with the activated aromatic rings of tyrosine and histidine residues and the ε-amino group of lysines [14] [15].Thus, the reaction of aryldiazonium salts 2a with glycine ethyl ester hydrochloride in aqueous solution containing sodium acetate, the diazonium ion attacks at the NH 2 moiety to affords stable triazene derivative 3a and shows no tendency to attack at the activated CH 2 , which would give rise to hydrozone formation [16]- [19], based on its spectral data.For example, the 1 H-NMR spectrum of compound 3a recorded in DMSO-d 6 revealed the presence of a triplet signal at δ = 1.17 ppm corresponding to methyl group, a quartet signal at δ = 4.13 ppm corresponding to methylene group, a singlet signal at δ = 5.02 ppm corresponding to methylene group, a multiplet signal at δ = 6.53 -8.22 ppm corresponding to aromatic protons and a singlet signal at δ = 12.62 ppm corresponding to NH.The mass spectrum of the same product is in accordance with the proposed structure.It shows a very intense molecular ion peaks at 241 and a number of fragments agree with the proposed structure.Similarly, glycine ethyl ester coupled readily with aryl diazonium chlorides 2b-d in the same reaction conditions to give the corresponding triaza derivatives 3b-d.Cyclization of triaza derivatives 3a-c into triazol-5-ol derivatives 5a-c took place by fusion of 3a-c over melting point without solvent in the presence of ammonioum acetate for 20 min.Establishing of the compounds 5a-c were based on its elemental and spectral data.For example, the IR spectrum of compound 5a revealed the disappearance of carbonyl group.The 1 H-NMR spectrum revealed the presence of a signal at δ = 6.93 -8.06 ppm corresponding to aromatic protons, CH-triazole and a singlet signal at δ = 12.06 ppm corresponding to OH group.The mass spectrum of the same product is in accordance with the proposed structure as demonstrated in (Scheme 1).
The foregoing results prompt us to investigate the synthetic potentiality of stable triazenes 3a-d toward palmitoyl chloride.Thus, treatment of triazenes derivative 3a with palmitoyl chloride 6 in refluxing methylene chloride containing a catalytic amount of pyridine afforded ethyl-2-(3-(4-chlorophenyl)triaz-2-enyl)-3-oxooctadecanoate 7a [20]- [22].The structure of 7a was established as a sole reaction product based on its spectral data.For example, the 1 H-NMR spectrum of compound 7a recorded in DMSO-d 6 revealed the presence of a triplet signal at δ = 0.84 ppm corresponding to terminal three protons of long chain fatty acid, a multiblet signal at δ = 1.22 -1.28 ppm corresponding to (CH 2 ) 12 , a triplet signal at δ = 1.56 ppm indicating methyl group, a triplet signal at δ = 2.27 ppm corresponding to β-methylene group, a triplet signal at δ = 2.48 ppm corresponding to α-methylene group, a singlet signal at δ = 2.49 ppm corresponding to methine group, a quartet signal at δ = 3.29 ppm corresponding to methylene group, a multiplet signal at δ = 7.29 -7.61 ppm corresponding to aromatic protons and a singlet signal at δ = 9.94 ppm corresponding to NH.The mass spectrum of compound 7a revealed the molecular ion peak at m/z = 479 (M + ) corresponding to C 26 HCl 42 N 3 O 3 .Similarly, the triazenes derivatives 3b-d was reacted with palmitoyl chloride in the same reaction conditions to afford 7b-d as demonstrated in Scheme 2.
Thus, 1 H-NMR spectrum of compound 8 revealed an intense singlet signal at δ = 3.35 corresponding to two methyl functions, the oliffinic proton and NH group appeared as two singlet signals at δ = 7. respectively.The mass spectrum of the same compound is in accordance with the proposed structure.Thus, it showed a very intense molecular ion peak at m/z = 296 and a number of fragments agree with the proposed structure.Further support of the structure 3 by its condensation with aromatic aldehydes.Thus, it was condensed with aromatic aldehydes in refluxing ethanol and in the presence of a catalytic amount of piperidine to give 9a-c.Establishing the structure of compound 9a-c.were based on its elemental analysis and spectral data.Thus, 1 H-NMR spectrum of compound 9a as example revealed the absence of methylene function and revealed the presence of a singlet signal at δ = 7.09 ppm corresponding to oliffinic proton (Scheme 3).
The enaminone 8 was examined as a key precursor toward a varity of nucleophilic reagents aiming at exploring its synthetic potentiality.Thus, when compound 8 is allowed to reflux with hydrazine and phenyl hydrazine in ethanol, pyrazolones 13a,b derivatives were obtained via the intermediacy of 10-12.Establishing structure 13a,b was based on its elemental analysis and spectral data.For example, The  Treatment of compound 8 with thiourea in refluxing ethanol in the presence of sodium ethoxide, afforded 2-thioxo-2,3-dihydropyrimidin-4(1H)-one derivative 21a.Compound 21a is assumed to be formed via the addition of the NH 2 group of thiourea to the activated double bond in compound 8 with subsequent elimination of dimethylamine molecule to give the non-isolable intermediate 19, which underwent intramolecular cyclization to form the final product 21a via loss of ethanol molecule.Also, the reaction of 8 with guanidine hydrochloride resulted in the formation imino pyrimidine derivative via the intermediacy of 18-20 according to their spectral analysis.For example, the IR spectrum of compound 21b revealed the presence of amino function at 3445, 3421, 3372 cm −1 and carbonyl function at 1690 cm −1 .The 1 H-NMR and mass spectrum of the same product are in accordance with proposed structure.Finally, compound 8 reacted also with cyanothioacetamide and gave the corresponding pyridinethione derivative 25.The structure of compound 25 was deduced from their elemental analysis and spectral data.The IR spectroscopic investigation of 25 revealed characteristic bands at 3447, 3419 cm −1 (2NH) and a pair of absorption band at 2202, 1718 cm −1 for (CN) and carbonyl group respectively, in addition, doublet signal at δ = 7.10 -7.12 ppm corresponding to =CH-pyridine, a pair of signals at δ = 10.30,12.41 ppm corresponding to a pair of NH groups and a multiplet signal at δ = 7.23 -8.52 ppm corresponding to aromatic protons.The mass spectrum of compound 25 is in accordance with the proposed structure.Thus, it showed a very intense molecular ion peak at 305 (M + ) and a number of fragment agree with the proposed structure, Formation of 25 from the reaction of 8 and cyanothioacetamide is believed to be formed via initial addition of the active methylene group of cyanothioacetamide on the double bond system of 8 with subsequent elimination of dimethylamine to give non-isolable intermediate 23 which underwent intramolecular cyclization to form the final product 25 via loss of ethanol molecules as demonstrated in Scheme 5.
