Synthesis and Analgesic Activity of Some New Pyrazoles and Triazoles Bearing a 6,8-Dibromo-2-methylquinazoline Moiety

Abstract: 2-(6,8-Dibromo-2-methylquinazolin-4-yloxy)-acetohydrazide (4) was prepared by the reaction of 6,8-dibromo-2-methylbenzo-[d][1,3]oxazin-4-one with formamide to afford quinazolinone 2, followed by alkylation with ethyl chloroacetate to give the ester 3. Treatment of ester 3 with hydrazine hydrate and benzaldehyde afforded 4 and styryl quinazoline 5. The hydrazide was reacted with triethyl orthoformate, acetylacetone and ethyl acetoacetate and benzaldehyde derivatives to afford the corresponding pyrazoles 6, 7, 9 and hydrazone derivatives 10a-c. Cyclization of hydrazones 10a-c with thioglycolic acid afforded the thiazole derivatives 11a-c. Reaction of the hydrazide with isothiocyanate derivatives afforded hydrazinecarbothioamide derivatives 12a-c, which cyclized to triazole-3-thiols and thiadiazoles 13a-c and 14a-c, respectively. Fusion of the hydrazide with phthalimide afforded the annelated compound 1,2,4-triazolo[3,4-a]isoindol-5-one (15). The newly synthesized compounds were characterized by their spectral (IR, ¹H-, ¹³C-NMR) data. Selected compounds were screened for analgesic activity.
