The uv spectra of the three systems are distinctly different as supported by HOMO/LUMO calculations. 5,6-Dihydro-5,5-dimethyl-7H-thieno[3,4-b]pyran-7-one ( 10 ) and 5,6-dihydro-6,6-dimethyl-4H-thieno[2,3-b]pyran-4-one ( 20 ) represent the first members of these thienopyranone ring systems.     

Heterocycles structurally influenced by a side chain. X. Effect of temperature and side chain on the imine-enamine tautomerism in the quinoxalinone and pyridopyrazinone systems

3-(1-Benzoyl)ethyl-1H-pyrido[2,3-b]pyrazin-2-one ( 7 ), 3-(1-ethoxycarbonyl)ethyl-1H-pyrido[2,3-b]-pyrazin-2-one ( 8 ), and 3-(1-benzoyl)ethyl-1H-quinoxalin-2-one ( 9 ) exist only in the imine form due to the steric effect of the methyl substituent.

Fused pyrimidine systems: XIII. Synthesis and some transformations of 1,3-thiazolo(thiazino)-fused pyrido[3,4-d]pyrimidines

2-[Allyl(propargyl)sulfanyl]pyrido[3,4-d]pyrimidin-4-ones at heating in polyphosphoric acid undergo an intramolecular cyclization with the formation of pyrido[4,3-e]thiazolo-[3,2-a]pyrimidin-5-ones of angular structure. Under similar conditions the cyclization of 2-(cinnamylsulfanyl)pyrido[3,4-d]-pyrimidin-4-one results in a linear pyrido[3′,4′:4,5]pyrimido-[2,1-b][1,3]thiazin-6-one. The iodocyclization of the same substrates affords the corresponding 9-(iodomethyl)(iodomethylidene)pyrido[4,3-e][1,3]thiazolo-[3,2-a]pyrimidin-5-ones and 3-iodopyrido[3′,4′:4,5]pyrimido[2,1-b][1,3]thiazin-6-one of angular structure. 9-(Iodomethyl)-8,9-dihydro-5H-pyrido[4,3-e][1,3]thiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidin-5-one treated with sodium azide gave 9-(azidomethyl) derivative whose cyclization with substituted alkynes in the presence of copper compounds provided pyrido [4,3-e][1,3]thiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidinylmethyltriazoles.

A series of 7,12-dihydropyrimido[1′2′:1,2]pyrido[3,4-b]mdole-4(6H)-ones was prepared by Fischer indolization of 9-arylhydrazono-6,7,8,9-tetrahydro-4H-pyrido[1,2-a]pyrirmdin-4-ones. Quantum chemical calculations (ab initio and AM1) indicate that position 3 of 7,12-dihydropyrimido[1′,2′:1,2]pyrido-[3,4-b]indole-4(6H)-one can be involved in electrophilic substitutions, while position 2 is sensitive towards nucleophilic attack. Bromination of 6-methyl-7,12-tetrahydropyrimido[1′,2′:1,2]pyrido-[3,4-b]indol-4(6H)-one 16 with bromine afforded 3-bromo derivative 25 , which was reacted with cyclic amines to give 2-ammo-7,12-dihydropyrirmdo[1′2′:1,2]pyrido[3,4-b]indol-4(6H)-ones 26–30 in an addition-elimination reaction.
