Syntheses of furo[3,2-e][1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-c]pyrimidines and furo[2 ',3 ': 5,6]-pyrimido[3,4-b][2,3-elindolo[1,2,4]triazine as a new ring system

2-Amino-4,5-di-(2-furyl)furan-3-carbonitriie (1) reacted with triethyl orth oacetate to afford the corresponding 2-ethoxyimine derivative (2). The latt er compound reacted with phenyl hydrazine, p-fluorobenzylamine and sodium h ydrogen sulfide, respectively, to afford the corresponding furo[2,3-d]pyrim idine derivatives (3-5). Compound 1 also reacted with carbon disulfide and phenyl isocyanate to afford 5,6-di-(2-furyl)-1H-4H-furo[2,3-d]-[1,3-thiazin ]-4-imino-2-thione (6) and 5,6-di-(2-furyl)-1H-3H-3-phenylfuro[2,3-d]pyrimi din-4- imine-2-one (7), respectively. Treatment of compound 2 with hydrazin e hydrate at 0 degrees C afforded compound 8, while on boiling 5,6-di-(2-fu ryl)-3H,4H-4-imino-2-methylfuro-[2,3-d]pyrimidin-3-amine (9) was isolated. Treatment of 9 with carbon disulfide, cyanogen bromide, ethyl cyanoacetate, diethyloxalate and triethyl orthoformate gave the corresponding furo[3,2-e ][1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-c]pyrimidines (10-14). Reaction of 9 with isatin and N -acetyl isatin gave the condensation products 15 and 16 respectively.
