Substituted 4-(3-Cyanopyridin-2-ylthio)acetoacetates: New Convenient Reagents for the Synthesis of Heterocycles

Abstract

Polyfunctional 4-(3-cyanopyridin-2-ylthio)acetoacetates were used in the synthesis of 4-hydroxy-1H-thieno[2,3-b:4,5-b]dipyridin-2-ones. The latter were used in reactions with arylidene­malononitriles or in three-component reactions with aldehydes and malononitrile to give 2-amino-4-aryl-3-cyano-5-oxo-5,6-dihydro-4H-pyrano[2,3-d]pyrido[3′,2′:4,5]thieno[3,2-b]pyridines. Utilizing 4-(3-cyanopyridin-2-ylthio)acetoacetates and arylidenemalononitriles or aldehydes and malononitrile, we developed a method for the synthesis of substituted 3-alkoxycarbonyl-6-amino-4-aryl-2-(3-cyanopyridin-2-ylthiomethyl)-4H-pyrans. Reactions of substituted 4-(3-cyanopyridin-2-ylthio)acetoacetates with hydrazine hydrate yielded substituted 3-hydroxypyrazoles, which were further used for the preparation of 6-amino-4-aryl-5-cyano-3-(pyrid-2-ylthio­methylene)-2,4-dihydropyrano[2,3-c]pyrazoles. Analogously, ethyl 4-(3-cyano-1,4-dihydropyridin-2-ylthio)acetoacetates were used for the synthesis of substituted 2-amino-4H-pyrans.

Key words

2-amino-4H-pyrans - thienopyridines - 4-(3-cyanopyridin-2-ylthio)acetoacetates - pyranopyridines - multi-component reactions
