Abstract

Diazotization and coupling of acetoacetanilide derivative 1 with aromatic amines afforded the arylhydrazones 2a,b. Arylhydrazones 2a,b were treated with (DMF-DMA) to yield the pyridazine derivatives 3a,b in good yield. Pyridazinone was treated with hydrazine hydrate to yield 4a,b. Reaction of 2a with hydroxylamine hydrochloride afforded the oxime derivative 5. Similarly, the reaction of acetoacetanilide 1 with hydroxylamine hydrochloride gave 3-hydroxyimino-N-p-tolyl-butyramide 8 not the pyrazolone 9. The reaction of anilide 4 with aromatic aldehydes yielded 10a,b. Also, when anilide 4 was reacted with a mixture of aromatic aldehydes, urea or thiourea afforded the pyrimidines 11a,b. The reaction of anilide 1 with active methylene reagents was also investigated. So, 1 was reacted with malononitrile to give the pyridone derivative 12. Similarly, anilide 1 was reacted with cyanoacetamide under the same reaction conditions to yield 4-methyl-2-oxo-6-p-tolylamino-1,2-dihydro-pyridine-3-carbonitrile 13 in quantitative yield. The reaction of 1 with ylidenemalononitrile depends on structure of substituent. Thus, reaction of 1 with benzylidenemalononitrile or naphthylidenemalononitrile afforded 14a,b, while that with p-anisidine-malononitrile afforded 15. Coupling 1 with diazotized 16 - 18 afforded 19 - 21 respectively. Condensing 1 and aminopyrazoles 22a,b afforded the acyclic adduct 23a,b rather than the pyrazolopyrimidine 24a,b.

1. Introduction

In the past few years, we have been involved in a program aimed at developing new efficient synthetic approaches for heteroaromatic compounds utilizing unexpensive starting materials [1] [2] . In continuation of our current interest in the syntheses of polyfunctionaly substituted heteroaromatic [3] - [6] , we used here the readily obtainable β-oxo anilide derivatives as starting materials. It is worthwhile to explore their potential utility for the synthesis of polyfunctionaly substituted pyridazinones, pyridine, pyrimidines and pyrazolotriazines.

2. Results and Discussion

It has been observed that coupling of 3-oxo-N-p-tolyl-butyramide 1 with diazotized aromatic amines in ethanol buffered with sodium acetate at 0˚C - 5˚C afforded the arylhydrazones 2a,b [7] . Arylhydrazones 2a,b were treated with N,N-dimethylformamide-dimethylacetal (DMF-DMA) in refluxing xylene to yield the pyridazinone derivatives 3a,b in good yield. The structure 3 was confirmed bases on spectral data, elemental analysis and their chemical transformation. ¹H NMR spectrum for 3a revealed doublet at δ = 6.9 and 7.09 assigned for olefinic double bond (J = 2.0 Hz).

Compounds 3a,b were treated with hydrazine hydrate to yield a condensation product via water elimination as 4a,b. Compound 4a as example was established as the sole product based on elemental analysis and spectral data. Thus, IR spectrum showed absorption peaks at ν 3170, 3380 cm⁻¹ for NH₂ group and disappearance of peaks at ν 1684 cm⁻¹ for CO group.

Reactions of 2a with hydroxylamine hydrochloride in ethanolic solution containing amount of sodium acetate afforded the condensation product 5 that analyzed correctly for C₁₇H₁₈N₄O₂. The structure of the latter product was identified as 2-(aryl-hydrazono)-3-hydroxyimino-N-p-tolyl-butyramide 5 on the basis of its IR and ¹H NMR spectra. The ¹H NMR spectrum displayed a two singlet signal at δ = 9.59 and 10.18 ppm assigned to two NH group. Trials to cyclized compound 5 to triazole 6 or indazole 7 under different condition failed (Scheme 1).

Similarly, the reaction of b-Oxo anilide 1 with hydroxylamine hydrochloride in aqueous ethanol in presence of sodium acetate give 3-hydroxyimino-N-p-tolyl-butyramide 8 not the pyrazolone 9 [8] . Compound 9 was ruled out by spectroscopic data. The IR spectrum of oxime 8 revealed ν cm⁻¹ 1652 for amidic CO; 3174 for NH; 3373 for OH.

The reaction of anilide 1 with aromatic aldehydes in the presence of ammonia has been reported to yield 2,6-dimethyl-1,4-dihydro-3,5-bis[(p-tolyl)carbamoyl]-4-(4-substituted phenyl)-pyridine 10a,b [9] . The structure of 10 was established bases on its correct elemental analysis and spectral data. Also, when compound 1 was reacted with a mixture of aromatic aldehydes and urea or thiourea, the tetrahydropyrimidines 11a,b was formed

[10] . The mass spectrum of 11b as example revealed a molecular ion peak at m/z = 371 corresponding to the molecular formula C₁₉H₁₈ClN₃OS. Its ¹H NMR spectrum showed a singlet signal at δ = 2.17 and 2.28 ppm assigned for the 2CH₃ protons, a singlet signal (1H) at δ = 5.47 ppm assigned for pyrimidine-4H, a singlet at δ = 8.33, 9.22 and 9.97 ppm assigned for 3NH protons (Scheme 2).

Reactions of compound 1 with active methylene reagents was also investigated. So, compound 1 was reacted with malononitrile in ethanolic piperidine to give the *yridine derivative 12. Structure 12 was supported by the appearance of NH₂ absorption band at ν 3302, 3466 cm⁻¹ in the IR spectrum. Moreover, its ¹H NMR spectrum revealed a singlet signal at δ = 5.6 ppm assigned to CH-pyridine and 6.61 assigned to NH₂ in addition to the other functional group protons.

Similarly, compound 1 was reacted with cyanoacetamide in the same experimental conditions to give 4-me- thyl-2-oxo-6-p-tolylamino-1,2-dihydro-pyridine-3-carbonitrile 13 in quantitative yield.

The reaction of 1 with arylidenemalononitrile depends on structure of substituent. Thus, reactions of 1 with benzylidenemalononitrile or naphthylidenemalononitrile afforded 14a,b while with p-anisidinemalononitrile afforded 15. Structure 14 was established bases on its spectroscopic data. Thus, the IR spectrum of 14b for example revealed absorption bands at ν 3420 and 3490 cm⁻¹ assignable to NH₂ group and ν 2245 cm⁻¹ for CN group in addition to disappearance of band at ν 3260 cm⁻¹ assignable to NH group. Assignment of structure 15 for the reaction product was based on its compatible spectroscopic data. Thus, its mass spectrum revealed a molecular ion peak at m/z = 373 (M⁺) corresponding to the molecular formula C₂₂H₁₉N₃O₃. Its IR spectrum showed absorption band at ν 3210 and 3300 cm⁻¹ for (2NH), 2219 for (CN). Its ¹H NMR spectrum revealed a two singlet signal at δ = 8.68, 10.06 ppm assigned for 2NH in addition to the other functional group protons (Scheme 3).

The active methylene group in compound 1 underwent an electrophilic substitution upon coupling with equimolar amounts of diazonium chloride of aminopyrazoles 16-18 afforded the expected pyrazolotriazines 19-21 respectively [11] [12] . These product compounds were established based on their elemental analysis and compatible spectroscopic data. Condensing 1 and aminopyrazoles 18b,c in refluxing isotropic water separator afforded the acyclic adduct 22a,b rather than the pyrazolopyrimidine 23a,b [13] . Assignment of structure 22 for the reaction product was based on its compatible spectroscopic data. Thus, its IR spectrum of 22a for example showed the presence of peak at ν 1665 cm⁻¹ assigned for amidic carbonyl group (Scheme 4).

3. Experimental

All melting points are uncorrected. IR spectra (KBr) were recorded on a Ft IR 5300 spectrometer (ν cm⁻¹).

Mass spectra were obtained on GC Ms-QP 1000 EX mass spectrometer at 70 ev. Elemental analyses were carried out by the Microanalytical Research Center, Faculty of Science at Cairo University and Microanalytical Research Center at Assiut University.
