Synthesis of 14π-electron peri-annelated tricyclic heteroaromatic systems based on 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene
摘要:
Methyl 1-aryl-7-nitro-1H-thiopyrano[4,3,2-cd]indazol-4-carboxylates 2 and 1,5-diaryl-7-nitro-1,5-dihydropyrazolo[3,4,5-de]-cinnolines 4 were prepared based on 1-aryl-3-formyl-4,6-dinitro-1H-indazoles 1, which were synthesised previously starting from 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene.
A method for the synthesis of peri-annelated trinuclear heterocycles, including 14pi-electron heteroaromatic systems, namely, 1H-thiopyrano[4,3,2-cd]indazoles and 1,5-dihydropyrazolo[3,4,5-de]cinnolines, from 3-R-1-aryl-4,6-dinitro-1H-indazoles was developed. The method is based on the high mobility of the NO2 group in position 4 and consists of either selective nucleophilic substitution of the 4-NO2 group on treatment with the HSCH2CO2Me-K2CO3 system followed by intramolecular cyclization of the resulting sulfide (R = CHO) or the corresponding sulfone (R = CN) formed upon its oxidation or direct intramolecular substitution of the 4-NO2 group (R = CH=NNH Ph).
