A two-step route to 1,3-disubstituted benzo- and pyrido-fused 1,2,4-triazinyl radicals is presented. The route involves the N'-(2-nitroarylation) of easily prepared N'-(het)arylhydrazides via nucleophilic aromatic substitution of 1-halo-2-nitroarenes, which in most cases gives N'-(het)aryl-N'-[2-nitro(het)aryl]hydrazides in good yields. Mild reduction of the nitro group followed by an acid-mediated cyclodehydration gives the fused triazines, which upon alkali treatment afford the desired radicals. Fifteen examples of radicals are presented bearing a range of substituents at N-1, C-3, and C-7, including the pyrid-2-yl and 8-aza analogues. This route to the N'-(het)aryl-N'-[2-nitro(het)aryl]hydrazides, which works well with benzo- and picolinohydrazides, required a modification for aceto- and trifluoroacetohydrazides that involved a multistep synthesis of asymmetrically 1,1-diaryl-substituted hydrazines.

A structurally novel class of benzo- or pyrido-fused 1,3-dihydro-2H-imidazole-2-imines was designed and evaluated in an inositol phosphate accumulation assay for G signaling to measure agonistic activation of the orexin receptor type 2 (OXR). These compounds were synthesized in 4-9 steps overall from readily available starting materials. Analogs that contain a stereogenic methyl or cyclopropyl substituent at the benzylic center, and a correctly configured alkyl ether, alkoxyalkyl ether, cyanoalkyl ether, or α-hydroxyacetamido substituted homobenzylic sidechain were identified as the most potent activators of OXR coupled G signaling.
