Various 2-amino derivatives of thieno[2,3-b]pyridin-2-amine (3a-g) were prepared in fair to good yields (30-76%) by subjecting 1-(2-chloropyridin-3-yl)ethanone (1) and appropriate primary amine (2a-g) to microwave heating at 90-120 degrees C for 15-20 min in the presence of elemental sulfur, NaOAc, and DMF. Lower yields (4-15%) of the secondary 2-amino derivatives of 1-(pyridin-3-yl)ethanone product (4a-g) were also obtained. However, when the microwave-assisted reactions were carried out on primary (2b-h) and secondary amines (2i-o) in the absence of elemental S at 100-200 degrees C for 15-20 min, the respective secondary 2-amines (4b-h) and tertiary 2-amines (4i-o) of 1-(pyridin-3-yl)ethanones were obtained in good to excellent yields (61-98%). Finally, when 1 subjected to microwave heating at 120 degrees C for 15 min in the presence of elemental sulfur, NH(4)Cl, NaOAc, and DMF, 3-methyl-isothiazolo[5,4-b]pyridine (5) was obtained in 79% yield. Possible mechanisms for the formation of compounds 3-5 are presented.
