Abstract

:
The new compound 7-methylpyrazolo[4,5-e][1,2,4]thiadiazin-3(2H,4H)-one 1,1-dioxide (5) was synthesized and its novel mono N2- or N4-substituted derivatives 6 and 7 were prepared by regioselective N-alkylation of 5 with different molar ratios of NaH and alkyl halides. Based on the regioselective alkylation conditions found a facile one-pot synthesis of N2,N4-disubstituted pyrazolo[4,5-e][1,2,4] thiadiazines 8 was developed. The structures of the newly synthesized compounds were confirmed by IR, 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR and MS spectral analysis.

Introduction

Benzo/heterothiadiazine derivatives have become of particular interest to chemists and biologists because of their broad spectrum of biological activities and potential pharmacological applications. For example, 1,2,4-benzothiadiazines, such as chlorothiazide and diazoxide, are widely used as diuretic and antihypertensive drugs, respectively [1,2]. Heterocycle-fused thiadiazine derivatives, such as pyrido-, pyrazino-, imidazo- and triazolothiadiazines, show unique potential for the treatment of cerebro- and cardiovascular diseases, cognitive disorders, cancers, viral and bacterial infections [3,4,5,6].
We recently reported the design and synthesis of 2,4-disubstituted thieno[3,4-e][1,2,4] thiadiazine derivatives (TTDs) [7], which selectively block HIV-1 replication at the reverse transcriptase step. The lead compounds QM96639, QM96539 and QM96652 (Figure 1) showed highly potent activity and selectivity against HIV-1 replication in cell culture at low concentration ranges (IC50 0.05-0.10μM) [8,9].

In continuation of our research, we decided to undertake a study of the pyrazole series, specifically regarding the 7-methylpyrazolo[4,5-e][1,2,4]thiadiazines, because of the known thiophene-pyrazole bioisosterism [10]. In this paper, we report the preparation of the new regioisomer 7-methylpyrazolo [4,5-e][1,2,4]thiadiazine (5) and its novel mono N2- or N4- substituted derivatives 6 and 7 by regioselective alkylation, as well as the one-pot synthesis of N2, N4-disubstituted 7-methylpyrazolo [4,5-e][1,2,4] thiadiazines 8 (Figure 2).

Results and Discussion

7-Methylpyrazolo[4,5-e][1,2,4]thiadiazin-3(2H, 4H)-one 1,1-dioxide (5) was synthesized in a similar manner to the thiophene and regioisomeric pyrazole series [7], by a route which started with hydrazinolysis of ethyl 1-methyl-5-sulfamoylpyrazole-4-carboxylate (1), a commercially available product, with hydrazine hydrate in refluxing ethanol, thus forming the hydrazide 2 in excellent yield. Carboxy azide 3, which was obtained by the reaction of compound 2 with sodium nitrite in diluted hydrochloric acid at ca. 10°C, was pure enough for use in the next ring closure step without further purification. Thus, by refluxing compound 3 in anhydrous toluene, a classical Curtius rearrangement took place through the intermediacy of isocyanate 4 to afford compound 5, a new regioisomer of 6-methylpyrazolo[4,5-e][1,2,4]thiadiazin-3(2H, 4H)-one 1,1-dioxide prepared by our previous work [7]. (Scheme 1). Structural assignments for the ring system in 5 were based on its 1H- and 13C-NMR, IR and MS spectral analysis.
The method used for the regioselective preparation of the new N2-substituted 7-methylpyrazolo-[4,5-e][1,2,4]thiadiazine derivatives 6 paralleled that described in ref. [8], including deprotonation of the 5 using one equivalent of sodium hydride in DMF solvent at a temperature below 5°C, and followed by alkylation with one equivalent of alkyl halide at 80°C for 2-8 h, thus giving the mono N2-substituted derivatives 6 (Scheme 2). The crude products were separated by flash column chromatography and purified by recrystallization from ethanol in good yields (81-85%, Table 1).

Under these conditions compounds 6 were the predominant products, mainly due to the more acidic nature of the hydrogen at the N2 position and the resulting easier deprotonation than the hydrogen at the N4 position, which is caused by the strong electric withdraw effect by the sulfonyl group. Meanwhile, the isomeric 3-O-alkylated pyrazolo[4,5-e][1,2,4]thiadiazine 6’ was observed as a side product in approximately 15% yields, which is attributed to the tautomerism between the nitrogen anion and the carbonyl-oxygen anion. The O-alkylated isomers 6’a-d have not been reported so far. In the 1H-NMR spectra, the chemical shifts of the O-CH2 groups are distinguished from that of mono N2- or N4-alkylated derivatives, while linking with the same substituent (Table 1 and Table 2, e.g. benzyl group, N2-CH2, δ 5.06; N4-CH2, δ 4.90; 3-O-CH2, δ 5.40).
During our ongoing research on the alkylation reaction of the compound 5, we used 2 equivalents of base rather than only one, in order to perform double deprotonation of 5. Quenching of the disodium salt with one equivalent of the electrophile, we observed complete regioselectivity of the reaction, since only the N4-alkylated regioisomers 7 were produced, and none of N2-substituted compounds 6 was found. We speculate that the stronger nucleophilicity of N4 anion allowed a preferential N4 alkylation. We also deduced that the relatively high steric hindrance afforded by the 1-sulfonyl and 3-carbony groups further disfavored the alkylation at N2 site.

The N4-alkylated product was confirmed by the chemical shift of the CH2 signal, and by means of NOE experiments and HMBC sequences to establish long-distance proton/carbon correlations. It was shown that the N4-CH2 correlated exclusively with the both quaternary carbon C-3 and C-4a, which is different from the N2-CH2, that only correlated with quaternary carbon C-3. A series of N4-alkylated derivatives 7a-d were prepared in high yield (80-86%) and the results were shown in Table 2.

N2,N4-Disubstituted hetero[1,2,4]thiadiazines with different substituents are usually prepared by stepwise alkylation, first at N2 and then at N4 [7,9]. Using to the aforementioned regioselective alkylation method, N2,N4-disubstituted derivatives 8 were synthesized in a one-pot reaction, by addition of two equivalents of NaH and one equivalent of R2CH2X first, followed by addition of one equivalent of R1CH2X when the synthesis of intermediate 7 (monitored by TLC) was shown to be finished. The crude products 8 were obtained and purified by recrystallization to give white solids in ca. 80% yield (Scheme 4). A series of N2,N4-dialkylated derivatives 8a-d was prepared by this method and are listed in Table 3. The structures of all synthesized compounds were confirmed by 1H- and 13C-NMR, IR and MS spectroscopic analysis.

Conclusions

In summary, we have synthesized the new regioisomer 7-methylpyrazolo[4,5-e][1,2,4]thiadiazin-3(2H,4H)-one 1,1-dioxide 5 and studied its regioselective N-alkylation reactions. In the preparation of N2-substituted pyrazolo[4,5-e][1,2,4]thiadiazines 6, we observed that formation of their O3-alkylated isomers 6’ accompanied the reaction, which often went undetected and thus probably unreported previously. We have also developed an efficient, regioselective alkylation at the N4 site of 5 by use of a 2:1 molar ration of NaH and alkyl halide. The achieved conditions for the regioselective N-alkylation were used to efficiently prepare the N2,N4-dialkylated derivatives 8 by a facile one-pot reaction. This method can be used for the synthesis of other mono N2- and N4- or N2, N4-disubstituted heterocycle-fused 1,2,4-thiadiazine derivatives.

Experimental Section

General

All melting points were determined on a micromelting point apparatus and are uncorrected. 1H-NMR (600 MHz) and 13C-NMR (150 MHz) spectra were obtained on a Bruker Avance-600 instrument in the indicated solvent. Chemical shifts are expressed in δ units and TMS as internal reference. Infrared spectra (IR) were recorded with a Nexus 470FT-IR Spectrometer. Mass spectra were taken on a LC Autosampler Device: Standard G1313A instrument. Flash column chromatography was performed on column packed with silica gel 60 (230-400 mesh). Solvents were reagent grade and when necessary, were purified and dried by standard methods. Concentration of the reaction solutions involved the use of a rotary evaporator under reduced pressure.

To a solution of compound 5 (1 equiv.) in dry DMF (4 mL) was added sodium hydride (60% dispersion in mineral oil, 1 equiv.) in portions, under an inert atmosphere (N2), while the temperature was kept below 10°C. After stirring for 15 min, the alkyl halide (1 equiv.) was added dropwise. The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 20 min and at 30-50°C for 12-20 h (checked by TLC). After the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure, the products were separated by flash column chromatography (1:3 ethyl acetate/cyclohexane) to give the compounds 6 and 6’ respectively, which were purified by recrystallization from ethanol.

General Procedure for the Preparation of 2,4-Disubstituted 7-methyl-1,1,3-trioxo-2H,4H-pyrazolo [4,5-e][1,2,4]thiadiazine Derivatives 8a-d

To a solution of compound 5 (1 equiv.) in dry DMF (4 mL/mmol) was added sodium hydride (60% dispersion in mineral oil, 2 equiv.) in portions, under an inert atmosphere (N2) and keeping the temperature below 10°C. After stirring for 60 min, the appropriate alkyl halide (R2CH2X, 1 equiv.) was added dropwise. The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 20 min and at 30-60°C for 8-12h (checked by TLC), then the second alkyl halide (R1CH2X, 1 equiv.) was added dropwise. Stirring of the mixture was continued for 12-20 h at 40-60°C, and then it was acidified (pH 4-6) with dilute hydrochloric acid. After the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure, the crude products obtained were purified by recrystallization from ethanol to give 8a-d as white solids.
