ABSTRACT
An efficient method for the synthesis of isoxazolo[4,5-b]pyridines has been developed on the basis of readily available 2-chloro-3-nitropyridines via the intramolecular nucleophilic substitution of the nitro group as a key step. The previously unknown base-promoted Boulton-Katritzky rearrangement of isoxazolo[4,5-b]pyridine-3-carbaldehyde arylhydrazones into 3-hydroxy-2-(2-aryl[1,2,3]triazol-4-yl)pyridines was observed.
ABSTRACT
An efficient method for the synthesis of pyrazolo [4,3-b]pyridines has been developed on the basis of readily available 2-chloro-3-nitropyridines via a sequence of SNAr and modified Japp-Klingemann reactions. The method offers a number of advantages including utilization of stable arenediazonium tosylates, operational simplicity as well as combining the azo-coupling, deacylation and pyrazole ring annulation steps in a one-pot manner. An unusual rearrangement (C-N-migration of the acetyl group) was observed and a plausible mechanism was proposed based on the isolated intermediates and NMR experiments. In addition, the developed protocol was successfully applied to the synthesis of 1-arylindazoles combining the Japp-Klingemann reaction and cyclization of the resulting hydrazone as a one-pot procedure.

A number of new 2-methyl- and 2-arylvinyl-3-nitropyridines were synthesized and their reactions with thiols were studied. It was found that 3-NO2 tends to be selectively substituted under the action of sulfur nucleophiles in the presence of another nucleofuge in position 5. Correlations between the substitution pattern and regioselectivity as well as photophysical properties were established. Some synthesized compounds possessed a large Stokes shift.
