INTRODUCTION
[12] and as an oncological agent [8,13]. The show
examples highlight the high level of interest in variously
substituted pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidines and their modi-
fied analogues there is a wide range of methods avail-
able for the synthesis of pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidines
[14]. In continuation of our interest in the synthesis of
heterocycles [15–19], we report herein, a convenient
method for the synthesis of pyrazolo[5,1-c]triazines, pyr-
azolo[1,5-a]pyrimidines, and pyridine containing naph-
thofuran moiety as antimicrobial agents.
The considerable biological and medicinal activities
of pyrazolotriazines and triazolotriazines, as adenine
analogues, antagonists, antischistosomal, and antitumor
agents [1–3] have stimulated recent interest in the syn-
thesis of these ring systems. Pyrazolo[1,5-a] pyrimidines
are purine analogues and as such have useful properties
as antimetabolites in purine biochemical reactions. Com-
pounds of this class have attracted wide pharmaceutical
interest because their antitrypanisommal activity, [4]
antischistosomal activity [5], activity as HMG-CoA re-
ductase inhibitors [6], COX-2 selective inhibitors [7],
AMP phosphodiesterase inhibtors [8], KDR kinas inhibi-
tors [9], selective peripheral benzodiazepine receptor
ligands [10], and as antianxiety agents [11]. Recently
other pharmaceutical activity has been reported, for
example, as an agent for the treatment of sleep disorders
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
Treatment of the diazotized 3-amino-5-phenylpyrazole
(3a) with sodium salt of 5-hydroxy-1-naphtho[2,1-

presence of sodium methoxide, in ethanolic sodium ace-
tate solution gave (naphtho[2,1-b]furan-2-yl)(7-phenyl-
pyrazolo[5,1-c][1,2,4]triazin-3-yl)methanone (6a) in
good yield (Scheme 1). Structure 6a was elucidated by
elemental analysis, spectral data and alternative syn-
thetic route. The formation of 6a accorded via coupling
diazonium chloride 3a to 2 to form the intermediate 4
which converted to 5. The later afforded the final prod-
uct 6 through elimination of one molecule of water.
Meanwhile, treatment of 3-dimethylamino-1-naph-
tho[2,1-b]furan-2-ylpropenone [20] (7) with 3a in etha-
nolic sodium acetate as buffer solution gave product
identical in all respects mp., mixed mp., and spectra
with 6a (Scheme 1). Analogously, treatment of the
appropriate diazonium salt 3b-e with 2 in ethanolic so-
dium acetate afforded (naphtho[2,1-b]furan-2-yl)(8-phe-
nylpyrazolo[5,1-c][1,2,4]triazin-3-yl)methanone (6b), 3-
(naphtho[2,1-b]furan-2-carbonyl)-pyrazolo[5,1-c][1,2,4]
triazine-8-carbonitrile (6c), ([1,2,4]triazolo[3,4-c][1,2,4]
triazin-6-yl)(naphtho[2,1-b]furan-2-yl)methanone (6d),
and benzo[4,5]imidazo[2,1-c][1,2,4]triazin-3-yl-naphtho
[2,1-b]furan-2-yl-methanone (6e), respectively.
On the other hand, treatment of 2 with 3-amino-5-phe-
nylpyrazole (10a) in piperidenium acetate yielded 7-naph-
tho[2,1-b]furan-2-yl-2-phenylpyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine
(13a). The structure 13a was established by elemental anal-
ysis, spectral data, and alternative synthetic route. Thus,
treatment of 7 with 3a in boiling acetic acid containing am-
monium acetate gave product identical in all aspects (mp.,
mixed mp., and spectra) with 13a (Scheme 2).
1H NMR spectrum of 13a revealed multiple band at
d ¼ 7.35–8.55 (m, aromatic protons). The formation of

compounds 13 assumed to take place via an initial Mi-
chael addition of the exocyclic amino group in com-
pound 7 (or 2) to the activated double bond in 7 to give
the acyclic non-isolable intermediate 14, which undergo
cyclization and aromatization via loss of both dimethyl-
amine and water molecules producing the final isolable
products 13a-e. Although the endocyclic imino group in
compounds 10a–e is the most nucleophilic center,
nevertheless, it is the most sterically hindered site [21]
as shown in Scheme 2. Structure 13a was further con-
firmed via an independent synthesis by reacting equimo-
lar amounts of 16 [22] with 1 in ethanol under reflux to
provide a product identical in all respects (m.p., thin-
layer chromatography, and spectra) with those of the
proposed structure 13a. Analogously, compound 2 was
reacted with the appropriate of 3-amino-4-phenylpyra-
zole (10b), 3-amino-4-cyanopyrazole (10c), 3-aminotria-
zole or 2-aminbenzimidazole (10d) to give 7-naph-
tho[2,1-b]furan-2-yl-2-phenylpyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine
(13b), 7-naphtho[2,1-b]furan-2-yl-pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimi-
dine-3-carbonitrile (13c), 7-naphtho[2,1-b]furan-2-yl-
[1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]pyrimidine (13d), and 4-naph-
tho[2,1-b]furan-2-yl-benzo[4,5]imidazo[1,2-a]pyrimidine
(13e), respectively (Scheme 2).
Next, treatment of 3-dimethylamino-1-naphtho[2,1-
b]furan-2-ylpropenone (7) with each of acetylacetone,

ethyl acetoactate, or benzoylacetonitrile in boiling acetic
acid containing ammonium acetate under reflux gave 1-
(2-methyl-6-(naphtho[1,2-b]furan-2-yl)pyridin-3-yl)etha-
none (19), ethyl 2-methyl-6-(naphtho[1,2-b]furan-2-yl)
pyridine-3-carboxylate (20), and (2-amino-6-(naphtho
[1,2-b]furan-2-yl)pyridin-3-yl)(phenyl)methanone (22),
respectively (Scheme 3). Compound 20 was reacted
with hydrazine hydrate to afford 2-methyl-6-(naph-
tho[1,2-b]furan-2-yl)pyridine-3-carbohydrazide (23). The
structure of 23 was elucidated by elemental analysis,
spectra and chemical transformations. Thus, compound
23 was reacted with each of nitrous acid, acetylacetone,
and ethyl acetoacetate to give azido(2-methyl-6-(naph-
tho[2,1-b]furan-2-yl)pyridin-3-yl)methanone (24), (3,5-
dimethyl-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)(2-methyl-6-(naphtho[2,1-b]
furan-2-yl)pyridin-3-yl)methanone (25) and (5-methyl-2-
(2-methyl-6-naphtho[2,1-b]furan-2-yl-pyridine-3-carbonyl)-
2,4-dihydro-pyrazol-3-one (26), respectively. Treatment
the compound 26 with 4-methylbenzenediazonium chlo-
ride gave the corresponding 27.
(s, 1H, ACHO) and 14.39 (s, br., 1H, NH). Thus, 28a
was reacted with hydrazine hydrate in boiling ethanol
under reflux to give 1-(3-(naphtho[2,1-b]furan-2-yl)-1H-
pyrazol-4-yl)-2-phenyldiazene (29a) (Scheme 4). Also,
7 reacted with hydrazine hydrate to give 3-(naph-
tho[2,1-b]furan-2-yl)-1H-pyrazole (30a). Compound
30a was reacted with benzenediazonium chloride in
ethanolic sodium acetate solution to afford product
identical in all respect mp., mixed mp., and spectra
with 29a.
EXPERIMENTAL
All melting points were determined on an electrothermal ap-
paratus and are uncorrected. IR spectra were recorded (KBr
discs) on a Shimadzu FT-IR 8201 PC spectrophotometer. 1H
NMR and spectra were recorded in CDCl3 and (CD3)2SO solu-
tions on a Varian Gemini 300 MHz spectrometer and chemical
shifts are expressed in d units using tetramethylsilane as an in-
ternal reference. Mass spectra were recorded on a GC-MS
QP1000 EX Shimadzu. Elemental analyses were carried out at
the Microanalytical Center of the Cairo University.
Sodium salt of 5-hydroxy-1-naphtho[2,1-b]furan-2-ylpro-
penone (2). In three-necked flask (250 mL) take of sodium
methoxide (0.054 g, 10 mmoles) and ether (20 mL) and pour
over it through separating funnel the 1-(naphtho[2,1-b]furan-2-
yl)ethanone (1) (2.1g, 10 mmoles) with ethyl formate (0.74 g,
10 mmoles) with efficient stirring. The solid product was col-
lected and used directly in the reactions.
Finally, treatment of 2 or 7 with the benzenediazo-
nium chloride in ethanol containing sodium acetate as a
buffer solution yielded 2-(2-phenylhydrazono)-3-(naph-
tho[2,1-b]furan-2-yl)-3-oxopropanal (28a). Structure
28a was confirmed by elemental analysis, spectral data,

and chemical transformation. H NMR spectrum of 28a
showed signal at d ¼ 7.26–7.93 (m, 7 H, ArH’s), 9.98
