- Nonclassical Heterocycles. 6. Tri- and Tetracyclic Ring Systems Containing a "Nonclassical" Thiophene Nucleus
-
The in situ generation of azomethine imine ylides from 1-aminopyridinium, 1-aminoquinolinium, and 2-aminoisoquinolinium salts and their subsequent cycloaddition to dibenzoylacetylene has been utilized as a route to a series of 2,3-dibenzoylpyrazolopyridines, to 2,3-dibenzoylpyrazoloquinoline and to 1,2-dibenzoylpyrazoloisoquinoline, respectively.Treatment of these dibenzoyl heterocycles with P4S10/pyridine readily gave several new "nonclassical" thiophene ring system, the thienopyrazolopyridine-2-SIV system containing 14? electrons and the thienopyrazoloquinoline-2-SIV and the thienoisoquinoline-2-S-IV systems each containing 18? electrons.The diketones also reacted readily with hydrazine forming the corresponding ring-fused pyridazines.Cycloaddition with fumaronitrile and N-phenylmaleimide occurred exclusively across the thiocarbonyl ylide dipole of these "nonclassical" thiophene ring systems, H2S being eliminated from the initial 1:1 cycloadducts under the thermal reaction conditions.However, dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate and dibenzoylacetylene only underwent cycloaddition with those ring systems containing the quinoline and isoquinoline systems, sulfur being extruded readily from the initial 1:1 cycloadduct. 8,9-Dibenzoyl-7,10-diphenylbenzopyrazoloquinoline prepared in this way was also converted with P4S10/pyridine into the thienobenzopyrazoloquinoline-9-SIV ring system, a stable tetravalent sulfur system containing 22? electrons in which cycloaddition also occurred across the thiocarbonyl ylide dipole.With dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate, sulfur was extruded from the initial 1:1 cycloadduct, whereas with fumaronitrile, the initial 1:1 cycloadduct itself was isolated.Incoporation of a tetravalent sulfur atom into a heterocyclic system and cycloaddition with olefinic or acetylenic dipolarophiles provide a convenient means of annulation of a benzene ring containing a variety of functional groups to the heterocycli system.
