Chemistry of Substituted Quinolinones. Part 8. Synthesis and Cyclization Reactions of Ethyl 5-Amino-1-(1-methyl-2-oxoquinolin-4-YL)-3-methylsulfanylpyrazole-4-carboxylate

The synthesis of the titled amino-ester 3 is described and its hydrolysis and chloroacetylation led to the acid 5 and acetamide 7 , which were cyclized to the pyrazolopyridones 6 and 8 , respectively. Condensation of 3 with 2,5-dimethoxytetrahydrofuran afforded the pyrrolylpyrazole 9 , which underwent cyclization by action of PPA to give pyrazolopyrrolizine 10 . Treating 3 with thiophosgene gave the pyrazolyl isothiocyanate 11 , which added aniline to yield the thiourea derivative 12 , and cyclized to give pyrazolopyrimidinethiones 13-15 . Condensation of 3 with formamide furnished pyrazolopyrimidine 16 , while with triethyl orthoformate produced the ethoxymethyleneaminopyrazole 18 , which condensed with hydrazine to give the aminopyrazoloprimidine 19 . Reaction of 3 with Lawesson's reagent resulted in the pyrazolothiazaphosphinine 21 . Also the cyclization reaction of the compound 3 with malononitrile and its mixtures with carbon disulfide, phenyl isothiocyanate, or benzaldehyde led to the formation of a...
