Abstract
A variety of new thiazolo[3,2- a ]pyridine derivatives 2a-h having 3-indolyl group were produced by refluxing 1a with different benzylidenemalononitrile derivatives. Reactivity of compound 4 toward some nitrogen nuclcophiles was investigated. Thus, the novel pyrazoles 6a , b were obtained when compound 4 was allowed to react with hydrazine and phenyl hydrazine in ethanol under reflux. On the other hand, pyrazolo[3',4':4,5]thiazolo[3,2- a ]-3-aza[1,8]naphthyridine 8 was formed by condensation of compound 4 with benzoyl hydrazine. Finally, condensed heterocyclic compounds containing pyran rings 9 and 10 were obtained by treatment compound 4 with active ethylene compounds.
