“…For example, several 3-and/or 5-substituted-7H-pyrazolo [4,3-e] [1,2,4] triazolo [4,3-c]pyrimidines and the isomeric pyrazolo [4,3- e] [1,2,4]triazolo [1,5-c]pyrimidine ring system possess one of the structural requirements for compounds that behave as selective antagonists for human A 2A and A 3 adenosine receptor subtypes. 11 As a result of these findings and in continuation of our previous work on the synthesis of fused triazoles, [12][13][14][15][16] we report herein the synthesis of 3,7,9-trisubstituted pyrazolo [4,3-e] [1,2,4]triazolo [4,3-c] pyrimidines, namely, 3-substituted-7,9diphenyl pyrazolo [4,3-e] [1,2,4]triazolo [4,3-c]pyrimidine acyclo C-nucleosides via tandem generation and 1,5-electrocyclisation of their respective C-(1-alditolyl)N- (1,3-diphenylpyrazolo[3,4-d] pyrimidin-4-yl)nitrilimines which have been hitherto unreported.…”
