Reaction of indole-2-carbonyl isothiocyanate (1) with sodium methanethiolate afforded 1-thioxo-1H-imidazo[1,5-a]indol-3(2H)-one (3). Its methylation with methyl iodide in the presence of lithium hydride in dimethylformamide, or potassium carbonate in acetone resulted in the formation of corresponding S- and N-methyl derivatives 4 and 5. N-(Indole-2-carbonyl)thiocarbamates and N-(indole-2-carbonyl)thioureas prepared by treatment of isothiocyanate 1 with corresponding nucleophilic reagents were S-methylated with methyl iodide in acetone in the presence of potassium carbonate. The obtained N-(indole- 2-carbonyl) substituted thiocarbonimidates 15, 16 and isothioureas 17-20 afforded by treatment with lithium hydride in dimethylformamide the derivatives of imidazo[1,5-a]- indol-3-one 23-28 in 49-87% yields. Antifungal activity of the prepared compounds has been examined, using the fungus Bipolaris leersiae. 1-Methylsulfanyl-3H-imidazo-[1,5-a]- indol-3-one (4) exhibited the highest antifungal activity.

9-Hydroxy-9-methyl derivatives of the ring systems named in the title are formed along with the expected 1-(o-acetylphenyl)azoles in the Ullmann condensations of o-bromoacetophenone with imidazole and with 1,2,4-triazole. The structures of these compounds follow from their characteristic proton magnetic resonance spectra.

The paper describes syntheses of 4,9-dihydro-3-methyl-4-oxo-1H(2H)-pyrazolo[3,4-b]quinoline (Ia), its 1-methyl derivative (Ib), 2-methyl derivative (IIa), 9-methyl derivative (Ic), 1,9-dimethyl derivative (Id) and 2,9-dimethyl derivative (IIb). Sodium salts of compounds Ia, Ib, Ic and IIa were methylated with methyl iodide in dimethylformamide at room temperature, compounds Id and IIb were demethylated with pyridine hydrochloride. The compounds prepared were tested for antiviral activity in vivo in mice against influenza virus A2-Hongkong and the Encephalomyocarditis virus.
