Thieno[2,3-b]pyridine-2-carbohydrazide in Polyheterocyclic Synthesis: The Synthesis of Pyrido[3′,2′:4,5]thieno[3,2-d]pyrimidine, Pyrido[3′,2′:4,5]thieno[3,2-d][1,2,3]triazine, and Pyrazolyl, Oxadiazolylthieno[2,3-b]pyridine Derivatives

Pyrdine-2(1H)-thione 1 reacted with ethyl chloroacetate 2 to give 2-S-ethoxy-carbonylmethylpyridine derivative 3, which could be cyclized into thieno[2,3-b]-pyridine-2-carbohydrazide derivative 5 by boiling with hydrazine hydrate. The latter compound reacted with cinnamonitrile derivatives 6a, b, triethylorthoformate, formic acid, dimethylformamide-dimethylacetal, and diethyl carbonate to give the corresponding shiff base 7a, b and pyrido[3′,2′;-4,5]thieno[3,2-d]pyrimidine derivatives 10–13 in respective manner. On the other hand, compound 5 also reacted with carbondisulphide and phenyl isothiocyanate to afford the corresponding 2-(1,3,4-oxadiazolo-2-yl)thieno[2,3-b]pyridine derivatives 18 and 22. Finally, compound 5 reacted with some β-dicarbonyl compounds, such as ethyl acetoacetate, acetylacetone and ethyl β-arylazoacetoacetate, to yield the corresponding 2-(pyrazol-1-yl-carbonyl)thieno[2,3-b]pyridine derivatives 24, 25, and 27 respectively.
