Reactions of heterocycles with thiophosgene. Part VI. Reactions of tetrahydropyrazolo[1,5-c]quinazolines
Abstract
o-Isothiocyanato-trans-cinnamaldehyde (3), derived from quinoline, thiophosgene, and base, reacts with hydrazine to give 6,10b-dihydropyrazolo[1,5-c]quinazoline-5(1H)-thione (6), which is reduced by sodium borohydride to the 2,3,6,10b-tetrahydro-derivative (12) and undergoes ring fission with alkali to give 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-2-thioxoquinazolin-4-ylacetic acid (25). Alkylation, acylation, sulphur replacement, esterification, ring formation, and rearrangement reactions of compounds (6), (12), and (25) are described. Some analogous reactions have been carried out with 4-methyl- and 6-methoxy-quinolines.
