Abstract

5-Carbohydrazides and 5-carbonylazides of pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridines are used to synthesize new heterocyclic derivatives. Some unexpected behaviors are observed in the reactions of the above two species. The structures of the obtained compounds are proved by spectroscopic studies together with elemental and X-ray structure analyses.

Introduction

The pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridine ring system has emerged as an important and pharmaceutically relevant scaffold in view of its occurrence as part of bioactive drugs and numerous biologically active compounds. ¹ These compounds show a wide spectrum of biological diversity, such as antiviral, ² anti-inflammatory, ³ anxiolytic, ⁴ hypoglycemic, ⁵ antitumor, ⁶ herbicidal, ⁷ antiherpetic, and antiallergic. ⁸ They also act as serotonin re-uptake inhibitors, ⁹ cholecystokinin (CCK) agonists, ¹⁰ vasodilators, ¹¹ potent cyclin-dependent kinase 1 inhibitors, ¹² HIV reverse transcriptase inhibitors, ¹³ CCR1 antagonists, ¹⁴ and protein kinase inhibitors. ¹⁵ Some pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridine-embedded heterocycles are anxiolytic drugs ¹⁶ such as cartazolate, etazolate, and tracazolate. They are also present in the cardiovascular therapeutic agent, BAY 41-2272, ¹⁷ and in a glycogen synthase kinase 3 (GSK-3) inhibitor that is efficacious in the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease. ¹⁸ In addition to their biological importance, their structural similarity to purine, an important constituent of DNA and RNA nucleosides, ¹⁸ is an added attraction that increases interest in the synthesis of pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridines. Recently, we found that heating 3-methyl-6-oxo-1-phenyl-6,7-dihydro-1H-pyrazolo[34-b]pyridine-5-carbonylazide (1) in MeOH resulted in a Curtius rearrangement to give 3-methyl-1-phenyl-1,5-dihydro-6H-oxazolo[5,4-b]pyrazolo[4,3-e]-pyridin-6-one (2) (Scheme 1). ¹⁹

A series of pyrazolopyridine derivatives was described by Geraldo et al. ²⁰ as potential antithrombotic lead molecules due to their optimal inhibitory activity against platelet aggregation induced by collagen and arachidonic acid, both potent physiological stimuli for thrombus formation. ²⁰ In continuation of our work on pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridines,^19,21–25 we aimed to synthesize various derivatives of these compounds, including heterocyclic systems from reactions of 3,6-dimethyl-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridine-5-carbohydrazide (4) (see Scheme 2) and 3-methyl-6-oxo-1-phenyl-6,7-dihydro-1H-pyrazolo-[3,4-b]pyridine-5-carbohydrazide (15) (see Scheme 4) with various reagents via functional group manipulation. One of these reactions involved the Curtius rearrangement, which has been widely used in organic synthesis due to the utility of isocyanate intermediates. ²⁶

Results and discussion

Previously, it was reported that 3,6-dimethyl-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridine-5-carbohydrazide (4) was synthesized by the reaction of pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridine-5-carboxylate [19] with an excess amount of hydrazine hydrate for 5 h (Scheme 2). In this context, we describe the reaction of compound 4 with various reagents such as phenyl isothiocyanate in order to synthesize a range of heterocyclic derivatives. In refluxing EtOH, the reaction between 4 and phenyl isothiocyanate (5a) afforded, after 8 h, 2-(3,6-dimethyl-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridine-5-carbonyl)-N-phenyl-hydrazine-1-carbothioamide (6a) in 89% yield (Scheme 2).

In the case of the reaction between 4 and allyl isothiocyanate (5b), the reaction proceeded after 10 h in refluxing EtOH to give compound 6b in 70% yield (Scheme 2). The ¹H NMR spectrum of 6b revealed three singlets due to NH protons at δ 10.57, 8.50, and 8.12 related to hydrazine-NH-thiourea, hydrazino-amide, and NH-CH₂-, respectively. The allyl protons appeared as three multiplets at δ 4.21–4.26 (allyl CH₂N), 5.07–5.16 (allyl CH₂=), and 5.95–6.01 (allyl CH=). The ¹³C NMR spectrum of 6b also supported the assigned structure with the appearance of allyl carbon signals at δ 44.2 (allyl CH₂N), 105.8 (allyl CH₂=), and 129.3 (allyl CH=). Besides, the thioamide and carbonyl carbon signals appeared at δ 178.0 and 164.4, respectively.

On reacting 4 with various carbonyl compounds 7a–f in EtOH and catalyzed by piperidine, the corresponding condensed products 8a–f were obtained (Scheme 2). The distinctive carbons of compound 8b are shown in Figure 1, whereas the spectroscopic data of compound 8b are listed in Table 1. In the case of 8f, the ¹H NMR spectrum showed five singlets at δ 13.30, 11.20, 8.32, 2.80, and 2.50 related to hydrazine-NH, istatin-NH, pyridine-H-4, pyridine-CH₃, and pyrazole-CH₃, respectively. In ¹³C NMR spectrum of 8f, five distinctive carbon signals resonated at δ 167.9, 165.9, 131.9, 23.9, and 12.2 due to isatin-C=O, hydrazine-CO, pyridine-H, pyridine-CH₃, and pyrazole-CH₃, respectively.

Interestingly, the reaction of 4 with NaNO₂/HCl led to the formation of compound 9 ¹⁹ in 75% yield (Scheme 2). On subjecting compound 9 to react with ethyl 2-cyanoacetate (10a) in xylene as the solvent and catalyzed by a few drops of piperidine, the new cyanoester 11 was obtained in 65% yield (Scheme 2). The elemental analysis and mass spectrum of compound 11 were in agreement with its molecular formula (C₂₀H₁₉N₅O₃). The ester protons of 11 appeared in the ¹H NMR spectrum as a triplet (3H) and a quartet (CH₂) at δ 1.49 and 3.47, respectively. The carbonyl-ester and amide carbons resonated at δ 164.5 and 163.9, whereas the methyl carbon signals appeared at δ 12.20, 18.9, and 22.4 for the methyl-ester, methyl-pyrazole, and methyl-pyridine, respectively. The proton of the tert-carbon (CH) appeared at δ 4.10 in the ¹H NMR spectrum, whereas the corresponding carbon signal appeared at δ 46.8.

The mechanistic explanation is based upon extrusion of N₂ from 9 under heating to form intermediate A (Figure 2). Rearrangement of A via a Curtius pathway would form isocyanate B. Nucleophilic addition of the formed anion, from the deprotonation of 10a by piperidine, to the carbonyl of the isocyanate would form compound 11 (Figure 2).

Figure 2.

The reaction of 4 with diethyl acetylenedicarboxylate (12) in refluxing toluene gave the corresponding pyrazolone derivative 13 in 90% yield (Scheme 2). The ¹H NMR of 13 showed a signal at δ 11.20 for the pyrazolone-NH proton. The peak at δ 8.20 corresponded to the pyridine-H-4 proton. The pyrazolone structure was proved by the appearance of the pyrazolone-H resonating at δ 6.82, whereas the ester protons resonated at δ 1.30 as a triplet (J = 7.0 Hz) and at δ 3.75 as a quartet (J = 7.0 Hz). The ester carbon signals appeared in the ¹³C NMR spectrum at δ 15.7 (CH₃) and 52.8 (CH₂). In addition, the pyrazolone-CH carbon appeared at δ 124.6, and the carbonyl-pyrazolone resonated at δ 163.3 (see the experimental analysis section).

Similarly, treatment of compounds 6a,b with 12 afforded the thiazolone derivatives 14a,b (Scheme 3). For products 14a and 14b, the ¹H NMR and ¹³C NMR spectra were found to be in accordance with their proposed structures. For example, the ¹³C NMR spectrum of 14a showed three carbon signals at δ 167.0, 165.9, and 163.0 for the carbonyl-carbons of the ester, thiazolone, and carbohydrazine, respectively. In addition, three carbon signals for three C=N carbons appeared at δ 157.2, 152.6, 150.0 (see the experimental analysis section). The ester carbons appeared at δ 60.8 (CH₂) and δ 11.6 (CH₃). In the case of 14b, the ¹³C NMR spectrum revealed the exocyclic thiazolone-CH at δ 128.0, whereas the allyl carbons appeared at δ 43.4 (allyl CH₂N), 103.8 (allyl CH₂=), and 132.1 (allyl CH=).

The ¹H NMR spectrum of 16 showed the pyridone-NH, pyridone-CH-4, and NH₂ protons as three singlets at δ 10.55 (1H), 8.65 (1H), and 6.30 (2H), respectively. Besides, two other singlets appeared at δ 2.70 and 2.00, corresponding to pyrazole-CH2-4 and pyrazole-CH₃ (see the experimental analysis section). The ¹³C NMR spectrum of 16 showed three distinctive carbonyl carbon signals of the pyrazolone at δ 166.8, the carbonylhydrazine at δ 163.4, and the carbonyl-2-pyridine at δ 162.3. Most indicative is the presence of the 4H-pyrazolone at δ 2.70 in the ¹H NMR spectrum and at δ 66.3 in the ¹³C NMR spectrum. In the case of 17, five singlets apparent in the ¹H NMR spectrum at δ 10.98 (1H), 9.30 (1H), 8.65 (1H), 3.50 (3H), and 2.45 (3H) were corresponding to the pyridone-NH, pyrazole-NH, pyridone-H-4, pyridone-CH₃, and pyrazole-CH₃, respectively. In the ¹³C NMR spectrum, the carbonyl carbon signals resonated at δ 166.8 (ester), 163.4, 162.3 (pyrazoledione), and 160.0 (pyridone-CH-4).

Reaction of equimolar amounts of the carbohydrazide 15 and p-chlorobenzaldehyde (7d) in refluxing EtOH gave yellow crystals of compound 18 in 90% yield. The structure of 18 was proved by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. Five singlets appeared at δ 12.00 (NH-pyridone), 9.00 (carbonylhydrazine), 8.60 (azomethine), 8.15 (pyridinone-H-4), and 2.50 (CH₃) in the ¹H NMR spectrum. The ¹³C NMR spectrum of 18 revealed the two carbonyl carbon signals at δ 165.3 and 163.6. The two azomethine carbon signals appeared at δ 156.9 and 147.6. The E form of compound 18 was proved via X-ray structure analysis (Figure 3).

Treatment of 15 ¹⁹ with NaNO₂/HCl at 0–5 °C led to the formation of 1 ¹⁹ (Scheme 4). Treatment of 1 with p-toluidine (19) occurred with thermolysis and extrusion of N₂, accompanied by rearrangement to give urea derivative 20 in 84% yield (Scheme 4). The structure of 20 was confirmed by the presence of six singlets resonating in the ¹H NMR spectrum at δ 10.70 (1H, NH), 9.85 (1H, NH), 8.55 (1H, pyridone-H), 8.25 (1H, NH), 3.35 (3H, CH₃), and 2.35 (3H, CH₃).

For further investigation of the reaction of the carbohydrazine group in compound 15, we reacted it with allyl isothiocyanate (5b) in refluxing EtOH, and N-allyl-2-(3-methyl-6-oxo-1-phenyl-6,7-dihydro-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridine-5-carbonyl)hydrazine-1-carbothioamide (21) was obtained in 79% yield (Scheme 5). The ¹H NMR spectrum of 21 revealed the four NH protons at δ 11.20, 9.90, 9.20, and 7.50 (see the experimental analysis section). Three multiplets were also observed at δ 4.26–4.31, 5.12–5.18, and 5.90–6.94 related to the allyl CH₂N, allyl CH₂=, and allyl-CH₂ moieties, respectively. The allyl carbons resonated in the ¹³C NMR spectrum at δ 46.5, 106.4, and 134.0. Moreover, the carbothioamide-C, pyridone-C, and carbonyl-hydrazine-C resonated at δ 178.2, 166.2, and 163.4, respectively. Subsequently, reaction of 21 with 12 in EtOH afforded the corresponding pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridine thiazole derivative 22 in 76% yield (Scheme 5). The ¹H NMR spectrum revealed the NH protons at δ 11.15 and 9.25 assignable to the pyridone-NH and amide-NH, whereas the other NH protons had disappeared, indicating that they were involved in the cyclization process. The ester carbon signals appeared at δ 168.7, 57.0, and 13.5 for the carbonyl-ester, CH₂-ester, and CH₃-ester, respectively. Besides, the exocyclic vinyl thiazolidine and the two C=N carbons appeared at δ 135.6, 154.6, and 153.3, respectively. The structure of compound 22 was finally confirmed by X-ray structure analysis (Figure 4).

Conclusion

In conclusion, we have described the utility of carbohydrazides of pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridine as versatile precursors to synthesize various new heterocyclic derivatives, which might be important in different biological and pharmaceutical contexts.

Experimental analysis

General

Melting points were determined using an APP Digital ST 15 melting point apparatus and are uncorrected. Thin-layer chromatography (TLC) analyses were performed using analytical Merck 9385 silica aluminum sheets (Kieselgel 60) with PF₂₅₄ indicator. The infrared (IR) spectra were recorded as KBr disks on a Shimadzu-408 infrared spectrophotometer, at the Faculty of Science, Minia University. The NMR spectra were measured using a Bruker AV-400 spectrometer at the Karlsruhe Institut für Technologie (KIT), Institute of Organic Chemistry, Karlsruhe, Germany. Chemical shifts are expressed as δ (ppm) with tetramethylsilane as an internal reference. The samples were dissolved in dimethyl sulfoxide-d₆ (DMSO-d₆), where s = singlet, d = doublet, dd = doublet of doublets, and t = triplet. Mass spectra were recorded on a Varian MAT 312 instrument in EI mode (70 eV), at the KIT, Institute of Organic Chemistry, Karlsruhe, Germany. Elemental analyses were obtained using a Varian Elementary device at the National Research Center, Giza, Egypt.

Starting materials

Compounds 1, 3, 4, 9, 12, and 15 were prepared according to literature procedures [19].

Crystal structure determinations of 18 and 22

The single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies were carried out on a Bruker D8 Venture diffractometer with a PhotonII CPAD detector at 123(2) K using Cu-Kα radiation (λ = 1.54178 Å). Dual space methods (SHELXT) ²⁷ were used for structure solution, and refinement was carried out using SHELXL-2014 (full-matrix least-squares on F²). ²⁸ Hydrogen atoms were refined using a riding model (H(N, O) free). Semi-empirical absorption corrections were applied. In 18, refinement with the listed atoms shows residual electron density due to two heavily disordered EtOH solvent molecules in the unit cell, which could not be refined with a split atom model. Therefore, the option “SQUEEZE” of the program package PLATON ²⁹ was used to create a hkl file taking into account the residual electron density in the void areas (see cif-file for details).
