Syntheses and properties of 4,6-dimelhyl[1,2,5]oxadiazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine-5,7(4H,6H)dione 1-oxide

New convenient syntheses of 4,6-dimethyl[1,2,5]oxadiazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine-5,7(4H,6H)-dione 1-oxide (I) from 1,3-dimethyl-6-hydroxylaminouracil by means of nitrosative and nitrative cyclizations are described. Compound I was converted into 4,6-dimethyl[1,2,5]oxadiazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine-5,7(4H,6H)dione [4,6-dimethyl-5,7(4H,6H)furazano[3,4-d]pyrimidinedione] by refluxing in dimethylformamide. Transformation of I to 1,3,7,9-tetramethyl-2,4,6,8(1H,3H,7H,9H)pyrimido[5,4-g]pteridinetetrone and/or 1,3,6,8-tetramethyl-2,4,7,9(1H,3H,6H,8H)pyrimido[4,5-g]pteridinetetrone is described.     

Pyrrolopyrimidines. 5. Reaction of 6-Amino-1,3-dimethylpyrrolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine-2,4(1H,3H)-diones with 1,3-Diketones

The reaction of 6-amino-1,3-dimethylpyrrolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine-2,4-dione with 1,3-diketones leads to formation of predominantly pyrimido[4',5':3,4]pyrrolo[1,2-b]pyridazine-2,4(1H,3H)-diones and, to a lesser extent, pyrimido[5',4':3,4]pyrrolo[1,2-b]pyridazine-1,3(2H,4H)-diones. The ease and direction of the cyclization reaction suggests a very -electron rich pyrrole ring in the initial state, especially in the position 7.     

A new synthesis of pyrimido[5,4-e]-as-triazine 4-oxides and their ring transformation to pyrrolo[3,2-d]pyrimidines

A new synthesis of certain pyrimido[5,4-e]-as-triazine 4-oxides and their ring transformation to pyrrolo-[3,2-d]pyrimidines by the 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction is described. Thus, reaction of 6-hydrazino-1,3-dimethyluracil ( 1 ) with triethyl orthoformate gave 6-ethoxymethylenehydrazino-1,3-dimethyluracil ( 2 ). Treatment of 2 with arylamines gave 6-arylaminomethylenehydrazino-1,3-dimethyluracils ( 3a-e ). Nitrosative cyclization of 3a-e with sodium nitrite afforded 3-arylaminofervenulin 4-oxides ( 6a-e ). Reaction of 6a-e with acetylenic esters yielded 7-alkoxycarbonyl-6-arylamino-1,3-dimethylpyrrolo[3,2-d]pyrimidine-2,4(1H,3H-diones ( 15a-e and 16 ).     

Synthesis of novel 1H-imidazo[5,1-B][3]benzazepine-1,3(2H)-dione and pyrimido[6,1-B][3]benzazepine-1,3,4(2H)-trione

Two novel tricyclic ring systems derived from 3-benzazepines were synthesized; the first, a 6,7,5-ring, 1H-imidazo[5,1-b][3]benzazepine-1,3(2H)-dione was obtained using an unusual Stiles reaction while the second, an analogous 6,7,6-ring, pyrimido[6,1-b][3]benzazepine-1,3,4(2H)-trione was prepared with base and oxalyl chloride.

1H,3H-Imidazo[1,5-c]thiazole-5,7-[6H,7aH]-dione and the corresponding 7-thione derivatives as well as 7,8-dihydro-5H-imidazo[1,5-c][1,3]thiazine-1,3-[2H,8aH]-dione and the corresponding 3-thione derivatives were synthesized starting from L -cysteine and DL -homocysteine thiolactone, respectively. The second group of bicyclic compounds represents a new heterocyclic ring system. The structures of the compounds were confirmed by spectroscopic studies and elemental analyses.

Thermal decarboxylation of 3-p-toluoyl-1,2-dihydro-4H-pyrrolo[5,1-c][1,4]benzoxazine-1, 2,4-trione resulted in 2-oxo-2H-1,4-benzoxazin-3-yl(p-toluoyl)ketene; the latter under-goes [4+2]-cycloaddition withp-bromobenzaldehyde to form 1-p-bromophenyl-4-p-toluoyl-1, 3-dihydro-5H-[1,3]oxazino[4,3-c][1,4] benzoxazine-3,5-dione. The crystal and molecular structure of the latter has been studied by X-ray analysis.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk. Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 9, pp. 1633–1636, September, 1993.     

New heterocyclic structures. [1,2,5]Thiadiazolo[3′,4′:4,5]pyrimido-[2,1-b][1,3]thiazine and thiazolo[3,2a][1,2,5]thiadiazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine

Derivatives of two new molecular structures, namely, 7,8-dihydro-6H,10H-[1,2,5]thiadiazolo[3′,4′:4,5]pyrimido[2,1-b][1,3]thiazin-10-one and 6,7-dihydro-9H-thiazolo[3,2-a][1,2,5]thiadiazolo[3,4-d][pyrimidin-9-one, and derivatives of N-substituted sulfamic acid, namely, (8-amino-3,4-dihydro-2H,6H-pyrimido[2,1-b][1,3]thiazin-6-on-7-yl)sulfamic acid and (7-amino-2,3-dihydro-5H-thiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidin-5-on-6-yl)sulfamic acid, were separated out as by-products in the reduction reaction of 8-amino-3,4-dihydro-7-nitroso-2H,6H-pyrimido[2,1- b][1,3]thiazin-6-one and 7-amino-2,3-dihydro-6-nitroso-5H-thiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidin-5-one derivatives, respectively, with sodium hydrosulfite. A mechanism of reaction, which hypothesizes the action of sodium hydrosulfite in an asymmetic form, is proposed. The results of single-crystal X-ray investigation on 7,8-dihydro-6H,10H-[1,2,5]thiadiazolo[3′,4′:4,5]pyrimido[2,1-b][1,3]thiazin-10-one (R = 0.032 for 863 reflections) and (8-amino-3,4-dihydro-2H,6H-pyrimido[2,1-b]- [1,3]thiazin-6-on-7-yl)sulfamic acid, sodium salt (R = 0.028 for 3507 reflections) are reported.     

Acetylenic chemistry: Part 15 [1]. Reactions of 1,2,3,4-Tetrahydro-2,4-dioxopyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidine with 3-bromoprop-1-yne

Reaction of 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-2,4-dioxopyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidine with 3-bromoprop-1-yne gave 1-prop-2′-ynylpyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidine-2,4-dione ( 4a ), 3-prop-2′-ynylpyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidine-2,4-dione ( 4b ), and 1,3-diprop-2′-ynylpyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidine-2,4-dione ( 4c ). Subsequent boiling of 1,3-diprop-2′-ynylpyrido-[2,3-d]pyrimidine-2,4-dione ( 4c ) in formic acid afforded 1-methylimidazo[1,2-a]pyridyl-N-prop-2′-ynylamide ( 5 ) and 1-acetonyl-3-prop-2′-ynylpyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidine-2,4-dione ( 6 ).     

Pyrano[4,3-d]pyrimidinium salts 3. Reactions of 1,3-dimethyl-2,4-dioxo-1H,3H-pyrano[4,3-d]pyrimidinium salts with azomethines

Reactions of 1,3-dimethyl-2,4-dioxo-1H,3H-pyrano[4,3-d]pyrimidinium salts with azomethines have been studied. The reactions lead to 1,3-dimethyl-2,4-dioxo-1H,3H-pyrido-[4,3-d]pyrimidinium salts and aromatic aldehydes.     

Pyrimidines. 21. Novel reactions of 5-cyano-1,3-dimethyluracil with carbon nucleophiles. A facile preparation of certain pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidines

Treatment of 5-cyano-1,3-dimethyluracil ( 8 ) with an activated acetonitrile, such as malononitrile, ethyl cyanoacetate or cyanoacetamide, in base afforded 7-amino-6-cyano-, 7-amino-6-ethoxycarbonyl-, and 7-amino-6-aminocarbonyl-1,3-dimethylpyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidine-2,4(1H,3H)-dione ( 18b, 18c and 18d , respectively) in high yields. On the other hand, reaction of 8 with acetonitrile in base gave the Michael adduct, 5-cyano-6-cyanomethyl-5,6-dihydrouracil ( 15 , R = H), and the hydrated product, 1,3-dimethyluracil-5-carboxamide ( 9 ) as the major products, and 7-amino-1,3-dimethylpyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidine-2,4(1H,3H)-dione ( 18a ) in only very low yield. Similar reaction with butanone gave 7-ethyl-1,3-dimethyl- and 1,3,6,7-tetramethylpyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidine-2,4(1H,3H)-dione ( 10b and 10c ) in low yields. When 8 was treated with diethylmalonate in base, only a small amount of 6-ethoxycarbonyl-1,3-dimethylpyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidine-2,4,7(1H,3H,8H)-trione ( 19 ) was obtained together with 1,3-dimethylpyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidine-2,4(1H,3H)-dione ( 20 ) and 18c (also in low yields). Treatment of 8 in ethanolic sodium ethoxide without added carbon nucleophile gave significant amounts (14%) of 20 and a small amount of 18c .     

Efficient and facile synthesis of 5-arylindeno[2′,1′:5,6]pyrido[2,3-d] pyrimidine-2,4(3H)-dione and 7-arylbenzo[h]pyrimido[4,5-b]quinoline-8,10(5H,9H)-dione under mild conditions

An efficient and facile method for the synthesis of 5-arylindeno[2′,1′:5,6]pyrido[2,3-d] pyrimidine-2,4(3H)-dione and 7-arylbenzo[h]pyrimido[4,5-b]quinoline-8,10(5H,9H)-dione derivatives from the reactions of 2-arylidene-2,3-dihydroinden-1-one (or 2-arylidene-3,4- dihydronaphthalen-1(2H)-one) and 6-amino-1,3-dimethylpyrimidine-2,4(1H,3H)-dione under mild conditions was described. This is a simple, efficient, and very rapid synthetic method, which is believed to provide a useful process for the synthesis of these fused heterocyclic compounds. The products were confirmed by infrared, ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, and high-resolution mass spectrometry.     

Synthèse et propriétés photochromiques de 1, 3-dihydrospiro[2H-indole-2,3′-[3H]pyrimido[5,4-f][1,4]benzoxazines] et de 1,3-dihydrospiro[2H-indole-2,7′-[7H]thiazolo[5,4-f][1,4]benzoxazines]

Synthesis and Photochrmic Characteristics of 1,3-Dihydrospiro[2H-indole-2,3′-[3H-]pyrimido[5,4-f][1,4]benzoxazines] and 1,3-Dihydrospiro[2H-indole-2,7′[7H]thiazolo[5,4-f][1,4]benzoxazines] Two new series of 1,3-dihydrospiro[2H-indole-ozazine] derivatives were synthesized, the 1,3-dihydrospiro[2H-indole-2,3′-[3H]pyrimido[5,4]pyrimido[5,4-f][1,4]benzoxaines] 4-10 and the 1,3-dihydrospiro[2H-indole2,7′-[7H]thiazolo-[5,4-f][1,4]benzoxaines] 11–17 . These series extend the available range of photochromic properties (rate constant of thermal bleaching, UV/VIS spectrum of the opened coloured form, and photocoloration yield), an interesting feature of variable-transmission materials. The synthesis of these compounds (Scheme 1) required the preliminary synthesis of intermediate β-hydroxy-α-nitrosotherocycles 18 and 19 (Scheme 2). Important amounts of a coloured, non-photochromic, stable secondary product (See 20 ) were found in the condensation in the spiro[indole-thiazolobenzoxazine] series. The photochromic characteristics of the new derivatives were determined using a flash-photolysis apparatus coupled to a fast-scanning spectrometer. The role of the heteroatoms in the oxazine moiety and the role of substitutents in the indole moiety were investigated quantitatively through the study of the photochromic properties and the solvent effects. The presence of an S-atom gives rise to interesting properties which open up new prospects for synthesis and application.     

Purines,pyrimidines, and related fused systems. 19. Use of S N H methodology for the synthesis of a new heterocyclic system,pyrrolo[3",2":3,4]pyrimido[4,5-c]pyridazine

Sonogashira cross-coupling of 3-chloro-6,8-dimethylpyrimido[4,5-c]pyridazine-5,7(6H,8H)-dione with terminal alkynes afforded the corresponding 3-(alkyn-1-yl) derivatives. Oxidative amination of the latter compounds with primary alkylamines was accompanied by heterocyclization to give 6,8-dimethylpyrrolo[3",2":3,4]pyrimido[4,5-c]pyridazine-7,9(6H,8H)-diones.     

A one-step preparation of pyrido[3,4-d]pyrimidine ring system by reaction of 5-formyl-1,3,6-trimethyl-pyrimidine-2,4(1H,3H)-dione with primary amines

6,7-Dihydropyrido[3,4-d]pyrimidine-2,4(1H,3H)-diones were obtained in high yields from the reaction of 5-formyl-1,3,6-trimethylpyrimidine-2,4(1H,3H)-dione ( 1 ) and primary amines. For this pyridopyrimidine synthesis the following reaction pathway is proposed; the [1,5]-hydrogen shift of 1 gives a 5,6-dihydro-5,6-dimethylenepyrimidine-2,4(1H,3H)-dione intermediate. The cycloaddition reaction of the intermediate with aldimines from 1 and the primary amines affords 5,6,7,8-tetrahydropyrido[3,4-d]pyrimidine-2,4(1H,3H)-diones, which are dehydrated to the final products.     

Pyrimidines. 20. Novel reactions of 5-cyano-1,3-dimethyluracil. A simple synthesis of pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidines

A reaction of 5-cyano-1,3-dimethyluracil (1, R = CN) with acetone in base afforded 1,3,7-trimethylpyrido-[2,3-d]pyrimidine-2,4(1H,3H)dione ( 9a ) in a moderate yield. From a reaction mixture of 1 (R = CN) with butanone, 1,3,6,7-tetramethyl- and 7-ethyl-1,3-dimethylpyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidine-2,4(1H,3H)-dione ( 9b and 9c , respectively) were isolated in low yields. When ethyl cyanoacetate or malononitrile was used in place of the ketone in the above reaction, 7-amino-6-ethoxycarbonyl- and 7-amino-6-cyano-1,3-dimethylpyrido[2,3-d]-pyrimidine-2,4(1H,3H)-dione ( 14a and 14b , respectively) were obtained in quantitative yields. A plausible mechanism for the formation of bicyclic compounds is discussed.     

Pyrano[4,3-d]pyrimidinium salts 4. Transformations of 5,7-diaryl-1,3-dimethyl-2,4-dioxo-1H,3H-pyrano[4,3-d]pyrimidinium bromides under the action of phenylhydrazines and aromatic acid hydrazides

Reactions of 5,7-diaryl-1,3-dimethyl-2,4-dioxo-1H,3H-pyrano[4,3-d]pyrimidinium bromides with phenylhydrazines and aromatic acid hydrazides have been studied. The reaction of the salts indicated with phenylhydrazine at ∼20 °C results in the pyrylium ring opening, whereas elevated temperature leads to recyclization products, i.e., 1,3-dimethylpyrido[4,3-d]pyrimidine-2,4(1H,3H)-diones. The reactions of the starting bromides with m-carboxyphenylhydrazine and aromatic acid hydrazides lead to 6-(R-amino)-1,3-dimethyl-2,4-dioxo-1H,3H-pyrido[4,3-d]-pyrimidinium salts.     

Purines, pyrimidines, and related fused systems. 21. Oxidative amination of 3-chloro-6,8-dimethylpyrimido[4,5-c]pyridazine-5,7(6H,8H)-dione

Oxidative amination of 3-chloro-6,8-dimethylpyrimido[4,5-c]pyridazine-5,7(6H,8H)-dione with primary alkylamines and potassium amide in liquid ammonia gives rise to the corresponding 4-amino derivatives as the major products. The reactions with acyclic secondary amines are accompanied by annelation of the pyrrole moiety to the starting heterosystem to form 1-R-3-R"-6,8-dimethylpyrrolo[2",3";3,4]pyrimido[4,5-c]pyridazine-7,9(6H,8H)-diones. The reaction with piperidine as the aminating agent occurs exclusively as aminodehalogenation. The Sonogashira cross-coupling of 4-amino-3-chloro-6,8-dimethylpyrimido[4,5-c]pyridazine-5,7(6H,8H)-diones with terminal alkynes affords 1-R-2-R"-6,8-dimethylpyrrolo[3",2";3,4]pyrimido[4,5-c]pyridazine-7,9(6H,8H)-diones.     

[f]-Fused purine-2,6-diones: Synthesis of new [1,3,5]- and [1,3,6]-thiadiazepino-[3,2-f]-purine ring systems

Summary 6-Phenyl-1,3-dimethyl-2,4-dioxo-1,2,3,4,8,9-hexahydro-[1,3,5]-thiadiazepino-[3,2-f]-purine (5) was obtained by a three-step synthesis from 8-mercapto-1,3-dimethyl-3,7-dihydro-1H-purine-2,6-dione (1) and 2-(benzoylamino)-ethyl chloride (2)via 8-(benzoylaminoethylthio)-1,3-dimethyl-3,7-dihydro-1H-purine-2,6-dione (3) and its chloromido derivative4. The analogous 9-phenyl-1,3-dimethyl-2,4-dioxo-1,2,3,4,6,7-hexahydro-[1,3,6]-thiadiazepino-[3,2-f]-purine (7) was synthesized either from compound1 and N-(2-chloroethyl)-benzimido chloridevia N-(chloroethyl)-S-(1,3-dimethyl-2,4-dioxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-7H-purin-8-yl)-benzothioimide (6), or alternatively from 7-(2-benzoylaminoethyl)-8-bromo-1,3-dimethyl-3,7-dihydro-1H-purine-2,6-dione (9), its 8-mercapto derivative10 and the corresponding chloroimido compound11 being the intermediates.Part of this paper was presented as a preliminary report at the Congress of Czech and Slovak Chemical Societies, Olomouc, Czech Republic, September 13–16, 1993     

Synthesis of novel 1,3-oxazino[6,5-b]indole-2,4-(3H,9H)-dione and 2H-1,3,5-oxadiazino[3,2-a]indole-2,4-(3H)-dione from oxindoles

Two novel tricyclic ring systems were designed as serine protease inhibitors and synthesized from oxindoles; the first series, 1,3-oxazino[6,5-b]indole-2,4-(3H,9H)-diones, were prepared from 2,3-dihydro-2-oxo-(1H)-indole-3-carboxamides and phosgene in tetrahydrofuran with triethylamine. The second, a 2H-1,3,5-oxadiazino[3,2-a]indole-2,4-(3H)-dione was made using a similar cyclization on 2,3-dihydro-2-oxo-N-phenyl-(1H)-indole-1-carboxamide.
