“…Pyrazole derivatives have also exhibited diverse pharmacological properties [3]. In addition, many investigations concerning the synthesis of spiro heterocycles utilizing nitrilimines were discussed [4][5][6][7]. We have previously described several routes to fused polyheterocyclic ring systems [8][9][10], we here intend to report our results on the synthesis of the so far unreported 3-benzylidene-4oxothiopyrano [2,3-b]pyridines 2a,b and their 3-(N,Ndimethylamino)-methylene analog 3 as well as their applications in the synthesis of the novel spiro-pyrazolo-3,3'thiopyrano [2,3-b]pyridines 6a,b, 6H-2-phenylpyrazolo [1,5-a]pyrido [2',3':5,6]thiopyrano [3,4-d]pyridine (12) and 7H-pyrido[2",3":6',5']thiopyrano [4',3':4,5]pyrimido-[1,2-a]benzimidazole (14) as new ring systems.…”
