Ramadan Department of Chemistry, Faculty of Science, University of Cairo, Giza, 12613, Egypt * Corresponding author: E-mail: abdallah_197554@yahoo.com Received: 19-08-2010 Abstract A series of pyrido[2,3-d][1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]pyrimidin-5-ones (8) has been synthesised via reaction of 5-substituted-2-thioxo-2,3-dihydro-1_ff-pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4-one (3) or its methylthio derivative 4 with hydrazonoyl chlorides 5. Alternative syntheses of products 8 were carried out either by reaction of enaminone 1 with 7-amino-1,3-disubstitu-ted[1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]pyrimidin-5-one (10) or via the Japp-Klingemann reaction of compound 13. Both conventional thermal and microwave irradiation techniques were used for synthesis of the target products 8 and a comparative study of these techniques using triethylamine or chitosan, as basic catalysts, was carried out. The mechanisms of the reactions under investigation are discussed. In addition, the antimicrobial activity of the newly synthesized products was evaluated. Keywords: Enaminone, 2-thioxo-2,3-dihydro-1_ff-pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4-one, hydrazonoyl chlorides, microwave irradiation, chitosan, antimicrobial activity. 1. Introduction [1,2,4]Triazolo[4,3-a]pyrimidines are pharmacological scaffolds displaying a wide range of biological activities such as antitumor,1 human A3 adenosine receptor,2 antibacterial,3 CNS depressant,4 antiallergy,5 and anti-inflammatory.6 In the field of coordination chemistry, [1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]pyrimidine can be used as a bridging ligand.7 On the other hand, pyridopyrimidi-nes, another class of heterocyclic compounds, can be used as active modulators of cannabinoid-1 receptor (CB1R).8 Fusion of [1,2,4]triazole ring to pyridopyrimi-dines tends to expose novel biological activities. Based on these findings and as a part of our research program aiming at synthesis of heterocyclic systems with biological and pharmacological activities,915 we became interested in extending the scope of this approach for synthesis of novel pyrido[2,3-d][1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a] pyrimidin-5-ones incorporating the [1,2,4]triazolo [4,3-a]pyrimidine moiety. Also, in this context the antimicrobial evaluation of the newly synthesized compounds was performed. 2. Results and Discussion The starting reactant 3, namely 5-substituted-2-thio-xo-2,3-dihydro-1H-pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4-one which has not previously been reported, was prepared by reaction of 3-[3-(dimethylamino)-2-propenoyl]-1,7-diphenyl-1,5-dihydro[1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]pyrimidin-5-one (1)16 with 6-amino-2-thioxo-2,3-dihydropyrimidin-4(1H)-one (2)17 under reflux in acetic acid (Scheme 1). Also, the new compound, 2-methylthio derivative 4 was prepared by reaction of 3 with methyl iodide in dimethylformamide in the presence of anhydrous potassium carbonate at room temperature (Scheme 1). The reaction of 3 with the appropriate hydrazonoyl chlorides 5a-l was carried out in dioxane in the presence of triethylamine under reflux until all hydrogen sulfide gas ceased to evolve (Scheme 2). After work up the reaction gave in each case, only one isolable product as evidenced by TLC analysis of the crude product. The assigned structure 8 for the isolated products is based on microanalysis and spectral (IR, 1H NMR, MS) data. For example, the IR spectra of products 8 revealed in each ca- Scheme 1 se an absorption band at v (1751-1693) cm-1 due to the carbonyl group of the substituent at position-3. 1H NMR spectra showed no signals assignable to the 2 NH groups in compound 3 and instead revealed the appearance of signals due to the protons of the acetyl, ester, and anilide sub-stituents at position-3 (see Experimental). The mass spectra revealed in each case a molecular ion peak at the expected m/z value. To account for the direct formation of products 8a-l from reaction of 3 with 5a-l, the mechanism outlined in Scheme 2 is proposed. The reaction starts with the forma- pn Compd. no- R- Ar Compd. rto- R" Ar Compd. no. R' Ar Sa, an CHjCO CJt, 5«, Be CO-Et C,H, 5i.

Si PhNHCO 4-NO:C5H, Scheme 2 tion of thiohydrazonates 6a-l which undergo Smiles rearrangement18,19 to yield the corresponding thiohydrazides 7a-l. The latter compounds undergo in situ cyclization with elimination of hydrogen sulfide gas to give 8a-l as the end products (Scheme 2). The regioselective cycliza-tion of the thiohydrazides 7a-l was further evidenced by an alternative synthesis of 8 via reaction of 4 with hydra-zonoyl chlorides 5a,e,i under the same conditions. Thus, treatment of 4 with 5a,e,i in dioxane in the presence of triethylamine under reflux led to formation of products identical in all respects (mp, mixed mp, IR) with products 8a,e,i (Scheme 2). The reaction of 4 with 5a,e,i proceeds via the formation of the amidrazones 9a,e,i, which in turn, undergo cyclization with elimination of methanethiol to give 8a,e,i as end products (Scheme 2). The intermediates 6a-l, 7a-l, and 9a,e,i could not be isolated in any case, which indicates that such intermediates are consumed in situ under the reaction conditions employed. Further evidence for the assigned structure of compounds 8 was obtained via alternative synthesis of these products. Thus, reaction of 7-amino-3-acetyl-1-phenyl [1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]pyrimidin-5(1#)-one (l0)20 with enaminone 1 in acetic acid under reflux gave a product identical in all respects (mp, mixed mp, IR) with the isolated product 8a (Scheme 3). Scheme 3 Final evidence for the assigned structure of the target products 8a-l was based on alkylation of 3 with chlo-roactivemethylene compound 12 followed by coupling obtained with diazonium salt.18,19,21 Thus, reaction of 3 with 3-chloropentane-2,4-dione22-24 12 in ethanol in the presence of triethylamine at room temperature yielded substitution product 13 (Scheme 4). The structure of the new product 13 was elaborated by its spectral data (IR, 1H NMR, and MS) and elemental analysis. For example, the 1H NMR spectrum showed two characteristic singlet signals near d 2.4 and 4.9 ppm assigned to the protons of CH3CO and SCH groups, in addition to the signals of the Scheme 4 =NH and aromatic protons (see Experimental). Treatment of compound 13 with phenyldiazonium chloride in etha-nol in the presence of sodium acetate at low temperature (0-5 °C) led to formation of a single substance as evidenced by TLC analysis of the crude product. The microanalyses and mass spectral data of the isolated product were consistent with structure 8a (Scheme 4). The formation of the product 8a obtained by the reaction sequence outlined in Scheme 4, was reasonably formed by Japp-Klingemann21 elimination of the acetyl group during the azo coupling reaction of compound 13, to form the corresponding thiohydrazonate 6a. The latter undergo Smiles rearrangement18,19 as mentioned above to give the thiohydrazide 7a, which in turn undergo in situ cyclization, to give 8a, as the end product (Scheme 4). Finally, we use microwave irradiation as an alternative method for the synthesis of products 8a, 8e, and 8i using the same reaction sequence outlined in Scheme 1. It is noteworthy that the catalyst used in this method may be either triethylamine or chitosan, i.e., a copolymer containing both glucoseamine units and acetylglucoseamine units, which is a very efficient and environmentally benign heterogeneous basic catalyst. In Table 1 the reaction results (time, % yield) are compared with those of the traditional thermal procedure using triethylamine as basic catalyst. As shown in Table 1, the use of microwave irradiation substantially reduced the reaction times from hours to minutes and appreciably increased the yield of the products. Also, chitosan can be used as an ecofriendly basic catalyst for preparation of the desired products 8a,e,i in high yield under thermal heating or microwave irradiation. 3. Antimicrobial Activity The compounds 8a-g,k were tested for their antimicrobial activities using two bacteria species namely, Gram (+) bacteria as Staphylococcus aureus Sa and Gram (-) bacteria as Esherichia coli Ec. The organisms were tested against the activity of solutions of concentration 20 mg/mL of each compound and using an inhibition zone diameter (IZD) in (mm/mg sample) as criterion for the antimicrobial activity.25,26 The bactericide Tetracycline was used as reference to evaluate the potency of the tested compounds under the same conditions. The results are depicted in Table 2. The tested products (8a-g,k) exhibited antimicrobial and antipseudomonal effect. Products 8a,c,e have moderate activity against both of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. Table 1.

Conclusions Pyrido[2,3-d][1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]pyrimidin-5-ones 8, with an incorporated [1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]pyrimidine moiety, have been prepared via one-pot reaction of pyri-dopyrimidine thione 3 or its methylthio derivative 4 with hydrazonoyl chloride 5 using triethylamine or chitosan as basic catalysts. Microwave irradiation and conventional thermal heating techniques were employed for carrying out these reactions. Some of the newly synthesized products 8 have a mild effect against Sa (G+) and Ec (G-) bacteria. 5.

Povzetek V prispevku je opisana priprava vrste pirido[2,3-d][1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]pirimidin-5-onov (8) z reakcijo hidrazonil kloridov 5 z 5-substitukanimi-2-tiokso-2,3-dihidro-1_ff-pmdo[2,3-d]pirimidin-4-oni (3) oziroma njihovimi metiltio derivati 4. Produkti 8 so bili pripravljeni tudi po dveh alternativnih poteh; a) z reakcijo enaminona 1 in 7-amino-1,3-disubsti-tuiranega[1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]pirimidin-5-ona (10), oziroma b) z Japp-Klingemannovo reakcijo spojine 13. Za sintezo ciljnih spojin 8 sta bili uporabljeni tako konvencionalna tehnika kot tudi obsevanje z mikrovalovi. Narejena je primerjalna študija obeh tehnik z uporabo trietilamina oziroma citozana kot bazičnega katalizatorja. Avtorji v študiji razpravljajo o možnih mehazmih študiranih reakcij. Na novih produktih je bila preizkušena tudi antimikrobna aktivnost.
