Chloroacetylenephosphonates react with 1 substituted tetrazole 5 thiones in anhydrous acetonitrile to form fused heterocycles, viz., 3 substituted 6 (dialkoxyphosphoryl) 3H thiazolo [3,2 d]tetrazol 7 ium chlorides, along with a small amount of compounds having a linear structure, viz., Z dialkyl {1,2 bis[(1 methyl(phenyl) 1H tetrazol 5 yl)sulfanyl]ethenyl} phosphonates.Chloroacetylenephosphonates were synthesized for the first time in 1965. 1 These compounds came to the atten tion of chemists due to the presence of several highly reac tive centers in their structure: an acetylenic bond, a labile halogen atom, and an electron withdrawing phosphonate group. Various possible applications of these compounds for the synthesis of phosphorus containing carbo and het erocycles, addition products at the triple bond, and vari ous compounds with retention of the triple bond were described in the literature. 2,3In the present study, we consider a new area of the use of chloroacetylenephosphonates in the synthesis of phos phorylated fused heterocycles. Five membered heterocy cles with two or three heteroatoms, such as imidazoles, thiazoles, triazoles, and so on, serve as key structural blocks for many pharmacological agents. 4-8 The conventional method for the synthesis of these compounds is based on reactions of binucleophiles (diamines, diols, thioleamines containing nucleophilic groups at adjacent carbon atoms) with carbonyl compounds and carboxylates. In the past decades, acetylenes and haloacetylenes have found increas ing use for the design of heterocyclic structures. The reac tivity of haloacetylenes increases in the presence of an electron withdrawing activating group, such as a carbon yl, carboxyl, or phosphoryl group, at the triple bond. One of advantages of the use of haloacetylenes for the heterocyclization is that their reactions, as opposed to reactions with carbonyl (carboxyl) reagents, do not pro duce a water molecule, which can have an effect on the course of the reaction.The reactions of haloacetylenephosphonates with bi nucleophiles usually proceed with high regioselectivity via the attack of both nucleophilic centers on the haloacetyl ene carbon atom. Thus, the reactions of chloroacetylene phosphonates with o phenylenediamine, o aminophenol, 1,2 alkanediols, and 1,2 ethanolamines afford (dialk oxyphosphorylmethyl)benzimidazoles, benzoxazoles, 1,3 oxolanes, and 4,5 dihydrooxazoles, respectively. 3 This reaction of 2 acyl 1 bromoacetylenes with 4 ami no 5 phenyl 3 thio 1,2,4 triazole proceeds through the same pathway. 9 In this study, it was shown that the reac tion produces fused aromatic systems due to the involve ment of two nucleophilic centers (sulfur and the NH 2 group of thiotriazole) and one electrophilic center (the haloacetylene carbon atom). 2 Acylmethylene 5 phenyl 3H 1,3,4 thiadiazolo[2,3 c] 1H(2H) 1,2,4 triazolium bromides were synthesized in 65-69% yields (Scheme 1).
