Preparation of new 2‐amino‐ and 2,3‐diamino‐pyridine trifluoroacetyl enamine derivatives and their application to the synthesis of trifluoromethyl‐containing 3H‐pyrido[2,3‐b][1,4] diazepinols

Abstract

Abstractmagnified imageThe synthesis of a novel series of the intermediates N2(N3)‐[1‐alkyl(aryl/heteroaryl)‐3‐oxo‐4,4,4‐trifluoroalk‐1‐en‐1‐yl]‐2‐aminopyridines [F3CC(O)CHCR1(2NHC5H3N)] and 2,3‐diaminopyridines [F3CC(O)CHCR1(2‐NH2‐3‐NHC5H3N)], where R1 = H, Me, C6H5, 4‐FC6H4, 4‐CIC6H4, 4‐BrC6H4, 4‐CH3C6H4, 4‐OCH3C6H4, 4,4′‐biphenyl, 1‐naphthyl, 2‐thienyl, 2‐furyl, is reported. The corresponding series of 2‐aryl(heteroaryl)‐4‐trifluoromethyl‐3H‐pyrido[2,3‐b][1,4]diazepin‐4‐ols obtained from intramolecular cyclization reaction of the respective trifluoroacetyl enamines or from the direct cyclocondensation reaction of 4‐methoxy‐1,1,1‐trifluoroalk‐3‐en‐2‐ones with 2,3‐diaminopyridine, under mild conditions, is also reported.
