New spiro derivative of dihydro-1,2,3-triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine as a product of multicomponent reaction

A three-component cyclocondensation reaction for the synthesis of new triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine scaffolds using 3-aminotriazole, aldehydes and ketene N,S-acetal

This study describes the use of 3-aminotriazole, different aldehydes and N-methyl-1-(methylthio)-2-nitroethenamine as a ketene N,S-acetal in a three-component condensation for the synthesis of a novel library of triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine scaffolds. The presence of trichloroacetic acid as a Brønsted-Lowry acidic promoter in acetonitrile or water solvent and room temperature condition resulting novel triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine systems named N-methyl-6-nitro-5-aryl-3,5-dihydro-[1, 2, 4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine-7-amine. The structure of products and direction of the N-cyclization could be confirmed using spectral data. The effect of various solvents on the progress of process was investigated in the paper. The presence of five nitrogen heteroatoms, the use of various aldehydes affording a range of skeletally distinct triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine-based heterocycles, the potency to create numerous hydrogen bonds in the product structure, and direction of cyclization are attractive features of this reaction.

α-Aminoazoles/azines: key reaction partners for multicomponent reactions

Aromatic α-aminoazaheterocycles are the focus of significant investigations and exploration by researchers owing to their key role in diverse biological and physiological processes. The existence of their derivatives in numerous drugs and alkaloids is due to their heterocyclic nitrogenous nature. Therefore, the synthesis of a structurally diverse range of their derivatives through simple and convenient methods represents a vital field of synthetic organic chemistry. Multicomponent reactions (MCRs) provide a platform to introduce desirable structure diversity and complexity into a molecule in a single operation with a significant reduction in the use of harmful organic waste, and hence have attracted particular attention as an excellent tool to access these derivatives. This review covers the advances made from 2010 to the beginning of 2020 in terms of the utilization of α-aminoazaheterocycles as synthetic precursors in MCRs.
