The reaction of 4-oxo-3,4-dihydroquinazolyl-and benzimidazolylacetonitriles with 2-chloro-2-quinolinecarbaldehydes and 1-aryl-5-chloro-3-methyl-1H-pyrazole-4-carbaldehydes gave the corresponding 3-(2-chloro-3-quinolyl)-2-(4-oxo-3,4-dihydro-2-quinazolyl)-2-propenenitriles and 3-(1-aryl-5-chloro-3-methyl-1H-4-pyrazolyl)-2-hetaryl-2-propenenitriles. Intramolecular cyclization of these compounds gives 15-oxo-15H-benzo[6,7][1,8]naphthyridino[2,1-b]quinazoline-6-carbonitriles, 1-aryl-3-methyl-11-oxo-1,11-dihydropyrazolo[4′,3′:5,6]pyrido[2,1-b]quinazoline-5-carbonitriles, and 1-aryl-3-methyl-1H-benzo[4,5]imidazo[1,2-a]pyrazolo[4,3-e]pyridine-5-carbonitriles.

3-Cyano-3-hetaryl-2-oxopropyl-and 3-cyano-3-hetaryl-1-methyl-2-oxopropyl ethanethioates were obtained by the acylation of 2-azahetarylacetonitriles with (acetylthio)acetyl and α-(acetylthio)propionyl chlorides respectively. They are deacetylated by the action of amines and undergo cyclization with the formation of 5-amino-4-hetarylthiophen-2(2H)-ones.

3-Cyano-3-hetaryl-2-oxopropyl thioacetates were obtained by the acylation of hetarylacetonitriles with acetylmercaptoacetyl chloride. Their reaction with amines led to the formation of 2-amino-3-hetaryl-4(H)-oxothiophenes.

Reactions of 3,4-dichloro-N-R-maleimides with substituted thiouracils at 40°C gave a 1:1 mixture of isomers of pyrrolothiazolopyrimidinetriones. Under conditions of thermodynamic control (100°C, 5 h) only pyrrolo[3',4':4,5]thiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidine-4,6,8-triones were formed, hydrolysis of which followed by decarboxylation gave 5-oxo-5H-thiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidine-2-carboxamide. The structure of N2-phenyl-6-methyl-5-oxo-5H-thiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidine-2-carboxamide was confirmed by X-ray crystallography. Analogous cyclization of 3,4-dichloro-N-R-maleimides with 2-thioxoquinazol-4-one also gave a mixture of two isomers which were successfully separated by fractional crystallization.

6,7,8,9-Tetrahydro-5H-[1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]azepin-3-ylacetonitrile reacts with carboxylic acid anhydrides and chlorides to afford acylation products at the nitrogen atom in the heteroring or methylene carbon atom, depending on the conditions and nature of the acylating agent. Heating of the N-acyl derivatives leads to migration of the acyl group with formation of C-acyl derivatives.

3-Amino-4-aryl-1(2H)-isoquinolones have been synthesized by treating 2-halobenzamides with arylacetonitriles. The angle of rotation of the 4-phenyl grop has been determined.

2-Benzimidazolylacetonitrile is acetylated by the acid chloride derivative of N-trifluoroacetylproline to give N- and C-acyl derivatives. Removal of the trifluoroacetyl protective group in the C-acyl derivatives is accompanied by cyclization to give 3-amino-2-(2-benzimidazolyl)-Δ2-pyrrolizidin-1-one. Exhaustive acylation of this product gives a derivative of a new heterocyclic system, namely, pyrrolizino[3',2':5,6]-pyrimido[3,4-a] benzimidazole.

A study has been made of the interaction of 2-[2-(benz)azolyl]3-keto-4-chlorobutanenitriles with primary aliphatic amines. This is a convenient method for the synthesis of 2-amino-3-[2-(benz)azolyl]-4(5H)-ketopyrroles.

The reaction of 2-(2-azahetaryl)-3-oxo-4-chlorobutyronitriles with substituted benzaldehyde hydrazones gives 4-arylideneamino-2-(1-R-benzimidazol-2-yl)-3-oxobutyronitriles, the structures of which were proved using spectroscopic data, the results of elemental analysis, and through their chemical reactions. It was found that the reaction course depends on the basicity of the heterocyclic fragment in the starting nitrile. A likely mechanism for the process is proposed.

We have obtained 2-(4-arylthiazol-2-yl)-4-chloro-3-oxobutyronitriles by acylation of 4-aryl-2-cyanomethylthiazoles with α-chloroacetyl chloride. We have studied their reaction with secondary aliphatic amines, leading to formation of 4-dialkylamino-2-(4-arylthiazol-2-yl)-3-oxobutyronitriles, and also intramolecular alkylation with formation of 3-aryl-7-cyano-6(5H)-oxopyrrolo[2,1-b]thiazoles. We have determined some aspects of the tautomerism of the synthesized compounds.

It has been found that malonodinitrile and 2-(6-R1-oxo-3,4-dihydro-2-quinazolyl)acetonitrile in the presence of triethylamine undergo hetarylation by 5,6-dichloro-2,3-pyrazinedicarbonitrile at the active methylene group to give the triethylammonium salt of 2-(3-chloro-5,6-dicyano-2-pyrazinyl)malononitrile or 5-chloro-6-cyano(6-R1-4-oxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-2-quinazolylidene)methyl-2,3-pyrazinedicarbonitriles.
