β‐Oxoanilides in heterocyclic synthesis: An expeditious synthesis of new polyfunctionally substituted pyridine and pyrazole derivatives

Abstract

Abstractmagnified image3‐Oxo‐N‐{4‐[(pyrimidin‐2‐ylamino)sulfonyl]phenyl}butanamide 3 was condensed with (DMF‐DMA) in refluxing dry dioxane to yield branched structure 4 not its linear isomeric 5. Compound 4 readily reacted with active methylene to yield compounds 8a‐c, 14, 17 and 20 respectively. Also enaminone 4 reacted with phenyl hydrazine giving 24 and 25. In contrast, when compound 4 reacted with hydrazine hydrate in the same experimental conditions pyrazole derivative 27 was obtained. Furthermore, condensation of anilide 3 with triethylorthoformate in refluxing acetic anhydride afforded the ethoxy methylene derivative 28. On the other hand, compound 28 was reacted with active methylene reagents, and hydrazines to afford the products identical in all respects (mp., mixed mp., and spectral data) with those corresponding to compounds 6‐27 respectively. Similarly, compound 3 was reacted with hydrazine hydrate to afford the reaction product 29. Also, compound 3 reacted with cyanoacetamide in refluxing ethanolic pipridine solution to yield the pyridine derivative 30. Finally, 3 reacted with hydroxylamine hydrochloride in refluxing ethanol/sodium acetate solution to yield the acyclic oxime derivative 31.
