New highly cytotoxic 1‐{3‐[1‐(5‐organylsilyl‐furan‐2‐yl)silinan‐1‐yl]propyl}amines and some trimethylgermyl analogues (IC₅₀ 1–7 μg mL^?1) have been synthesized by a hydrosilylation reaction of aliphatic and heterocyclic N‐allylamines in the presence of Speier’s catalyst. The effects of the silacycle, the element‐organic substituent in position 5 of the furan ring, and the structure of the amine on the cytotoxicity of the new compounds have been studied.     

Reaction of 2‐acyl‐6‐methylbenzo[b]furan‐3‐acetic acids derivatives with hydrazine

Reaction of 2‐acyl‐6‐methylbenzo[b]furan‐3‐acetic acids and their derivatives such as amides and esters with hydrazine does not give expected 1‐alkyl‐5H‐benzofuro[2,3‐e]diazepin‐4‐ones ones but results in 2‐amino‐7‐methyl‐2H‐benzo[4,5]furo[2,3‐c]pyridin‐3‐ones or (3‐R‐6‐methylbenzo[b]furan‐2‐yl)alkyl ketone azines.     

Di‐ and tripeptide segments of zervamicin II‐2: Z‐Thr(OBn)‐Aib‐N(Me)Ph and Z‐Val‐Aib‐Hyp(OBn)‐OMe

The title compounds, O‐benzyl‐N‐(benzyl­oxy­carbonyl)­threonyl‐2,N‐dimethyl­alanin­anilide, C₃₀H₃₅N₃O₅, and methyl (4R)‐4‐benzyl­oxy‐N‐(benzyl­oxy­carbonyl)­valyl‐2‐(methyl­alanyl)prolinate, C₃₀H₃₉N₃O₇, were obtained from the `azirine coupling' of the corresponding protected amino acids with 2,2,N‐trimethyl‐2H‐azirin‐3‐amine and methyl (4R)‐4‐(benzyl­oxy)‐N‐(2,2‐dimethyl‐2H‐azirin‐2‐yl)prolinate, respectively. The Aib unit in each mol­ecule has the greatest turn‐ or helix‐inducing effect on the mol­ecular conformation. Inter­molecular N—H⋯O inter­actions link the mol­ecules of the tripeptide into sheets and those of the dipeptide into extended chains.     

Six closely related 4,6‐disubstituted 2‐amino‐5‐formylpyrimidines: different ring conformations,polarized electronic structures,and hydrogen‐bonded assembly in zero,one, two and three dimensions

In each of ethyl N‐{2‐amino‐5‐formyl‐6‐[methyl(phenyl)amino]pyrimidin‐4‐yl}glycinate, C₁₆H₁₉N₅O₃, (I), N‐{2‐amino‐5‐formyl‐6‐[methyl(phenyl)amino]pyrimidin‐4‐yl}glycinamide, C₁₄H₁₆N₆O₂, (II), and ethyl 3‐amino‐N‐{2‐amino‐5‐formyl‐6‐[methyl(phenyl)amino]pyrimidin‐4‐yl}propionate, C₁₇H₂₁N₅O₃, (III), the pyrimidine ring is effectively planar, but in each of methyl N‐{2‐amino‐6‐[benzyl(methyl)amino]‐5‐formylpyrimidin‐4‐yl}glycinate, C₁₆H₁₉N₅O₃, (IV), ethyl 3‐amino‐N‐{2‐amino‐6‐[benzyl(methyl)amino]‐5‐formylpyrimidin‐4‐yl}propionate, C₁₈H₂₃N₅O₃, (V), and ethyl 3‐amino‐N‐[2‐amino‐5‐formyl‐6‐(piperidin‐4‐yl)pyrimidin‐4‐yl]propionate, C₁₅H₂₃N₅O₃, (VI), the pyrimidine ring is folded into a boat conformation. The bond lengths in each of (I)–(VI) provide evidence for significant polarization of the electronic structure. The molecules of (I) are linked by paired N—H...N hydrogen bonds to form isolated dimeric aggregates, and those of (III) are linked by a combination of N—H...N and N—H...O hydrogen bonds into a chain of edge‐fused rings. In the structure of (IV), molecules are linked into sheets by means of two hydrogen bonds, both of N—H...O type, in the structure of (V) by three hydrogen bonds, two of N—H...N type and one of C—H...O type, and in the structure of (VI) by four hydrogen bonds, all of N—H...O type. Molecules of (II) are linked into a three‐dimensional framework structure by a combination of three N—H...O hydrogen bonds and one C—H...O hydrogen bond.     

Synthesis of Two Natural Furan‐Cyclized Diarylheptanoids via 2‐Furaldehyde

Two natural diarylheptanoids, 2‐benzyl‐5‐(2‐phenylethyl)furan ( 1 ) and 2‐methoxy‐4‐{[5‐(2‐phenylethyl)furan‐2‐yl]methyl}phenol ( 2 ), were synthesized starting from 2‐furaldehyde. A Wittig reaction of 2‐furaldehyde with benzyltriphenylphosphonium bromide followed by reduction of the alkene C?C bond with Mg gave 2‐(2‐phenylethyl)furan ( 5 ). Lithiation of 5 with BuLi at ?78° followed by alkylation with benzyl bromide gave natural product 1 . In another approach, Friedel? Crafts acylation of compound 5 with benzoyl chloride followed by deoxygenation of the C?O group afforded 1 . The natural product 2 was also synthesized by acylation of 5 with 4‐acetoxy‐3‐methoxybenzoyl chloride ( 16 ) followed by deoxygenation and deacetylation.     

Synthesis of (Methyl 3‐O‐Benzyl‐4,6‐O‐benzylidene‐2‐deoxy‐α‐d‐altropyranosid‐2‐yl)thiophene Derivatives as Precursors of New Iso‐C‐nucleoside Analogues

Treatment of 2‐(methyl 3‐O‐benzyl‐4,6‐O‐benzylidene‐2‐deoxy‐α‐d‐altropyranosid‐2‐yl)ethanal (3) with malononitrile in the presence of aluminium oxide provided 2‐cyano‐4‐(methyl 3‐O‐benzyl‐4,6‐O‐benzylidene‐2‐deoxy‐α‐d‐altropyranosid‐2‐yl)crotononitrile (4). Starting from 4, cyclization with sulphur and triethylamine yielded 2‐amino‐5‐(methyl 3‐O‐benzyl‐4,6‐O‐benzylidene‐2‐deoxy‐α‐d‐altropyranosid‐2‐yl)thiophene‐3‐carbonitrile (5). Further cyclization could be achieved with triethyl orthoformate/ammonia to furnish 4‐amino‐6‐(methyl 3‐O‐benzyl‐4,6‐O‐benzylidene‐2‐deoxy‐α‐d‐altropyranosid‐2‐yl)thieno[2.3‐d]pyrimidine (8).     

Four oxoindole‐linked α‐alkoxy‐β‐amino acid derivatives

Four structures of oxoindolyl α‐hydroxy‐β‐amino acid derivatives, namely, methyl 2‐{3‐[(tert‐butoxycarbonyl)amino]‐1‐methyl‐2‐oxoindolin‐3‐yl}‐2‐methoxy‐2‐phenylacetate, C₂₄H₂₈N₂O₆, (I), methyl 2‐{3‐[(tert‐butoxycarbonyl)amino]‐1‐methyl‐2‐oxoindolin‐3‐yl}‐2‐ethoxy‐2‐phenylacetate, C₂₅H₃₀N₂O₆, (II), methyl 2‐{3‐[(tert‐butoxycarbonyl)amino]‐1‐methyl‐2‐oxoindolin‐3‐yl}‐2‐[(4‐methoxybenzyl)oxy]‐2‐phenylacetate, C₃₁H₃₄N₂O₇, (III), and methyl 2‐[(anthracen‐9‐yl)methoxy]‐2‐{3‐[(tert‐butoxycarbonyl)amino]‐1‐methyl‐2‐oxoindolin‐3‐yl}‐2‐phenylacetate, C₃₈H₃₆N₂O₆, (IV), have been determined. The diastereoselectivity of the chemical reaction involving α‐diazoesters and isatin imines in the presence of benzyl alcohol is confirmed through the relative configuration of the two stereogenic centres. In esters (I) and (III), the amide group adopts an anti conformation, whereas the conformation is syn in esters (II) and (IV). Nevertheless, the amide group forms intramolecular N—H...O hydrogen bonds with the ester and ether O atoms in all four structures. The ether‐linked substituents are in the extended conformation in all four structures. Ester (II) is dominated by intermolecular N—H...O hydrogen‐bond interactions. In contrast, the remaining three structures are sustained by C—H...O hydrogen‐bond interactions.     

天然产物 6-脱氧-6氨基葡萄糖甘油糖脂的合成

天然氨基甘油糖脂sn-1,2-dipalmitoyl-3-(N-palmitoyl-6-dehydroxy-6-amino-α-glucosyl)glycerol 3 和 sn-1-palmitoyl-2-myristoyl-3-(N-stearoyl-6-dehydroxy-6-amino-α-glucosyl)glycerol 4 通过简便有效的合成策略首次被合成。其关键步骤为：三氯亚胺酯糖基供体 10 与 (S)-isopropyleneglycerol 在乙醚溶液中发生糖苷化反应,立体选择性的生成3-O-(2,3,4-tri-O-benzyl-6-dehydroxy-6-benzyloxycarbonylamino-α-D- glucopyranoyl)-1,2-O-isopropylene-sn- glycerol 7。中间体 7 经过脱除丙酮叉、与不同的脂肪酸缩合、脱除保护基和选择性的在氨基上酰化,最终得到目标化合物 3 和 4。     

Reaction between Furan‐ or Thiophene‐2‐carbonyl Chloride,Isocyanides, and Dialkyl Acetylenedicarboxy­lates: Multicomponent Synthesis of 2,2′‐Bifurans and 2‐(Thiophen‐2‐yl)furans

An efficient multi‐component synthesis of highly functionalized 2,2′‐bifurans and 2‐(thiophen‐2‐yl)furans is described. A mixture of furan‐ or thiophene‐2‐carbonyl chloride, an isocyanide, and a dialkyl acetylenedicarboxylate undergoes a smooth addition reaction in dry CH₂Cl₂ at ambient temperature to produce 2‐amino‐5‐(4‐chlorofuran‐2‐yl)furan‐3,4‐dicarboxylates and 2‐amino‐5‐(4‐chlorothiophen‐2‐yl)furan‐3,4‐dicarboxylates. A single‐crystal X‐ray‐analysis of a derivative conclusively confirms the structure of these 2,2′‐bifurans and 2‐(thiophen‐2‐yl)furans. A novel electrophilic aromatic substitution reaction can justify the formation of the Cl‐substituted furan or thiophene rings.     

Synthesis and Insecticidal Activity of Nitenpyram Analogs with Tetrahydropyrimidine Fixed (Z)‐Configuration

Two series of novel (Z)‐nitenpyram analogs 2a , 2b , 2c , 2d , 2e , 2f , 2g , 2h , 3a , 3b , 3c , 3d were synthesized by introducing various amino acids benzyl ester or amino acids tetrahydrofurfur‐2‐yl ester into nitenpyram and forming a tetrahydropyrimidine ring to fix (Z)‐configuration. The structures of the target compounds were characterized by ¹HNMR, MS, IR, and elemental analysis. Preliminary bioassays against Nilaparvata lugens indicated that all the nitenpyram analogs exhibited good insecticidal activity at 100 mg/L, whereas the compounds 3b and 3d afforded the best in vitro inhibitory activities that had ≥ 90% mortality at 20 mg/L.     

Enantioselective Synthesis of 2‐(2‐Arylcyclopropyl)glycines: Conformationally Restricted Homophenylalanine Analogs

Starting from simple aromatic aldehydes and acetylfuran, (E)‐1‐(furan‐2‐yl)‐3‐arylprop‐2‐en‐1‐ones ( 2 ) were synthesized in high yields. Cyclopropanation of the C?C bond with trimethylsulfoxonium iodide (Me₃SO⁺I^?) furnished (furan‐2‐yl)(2‐arylcyclopropyl)methanones 3 in 90–97% yields. Selective conversion of cyclopropyl ketones to their (E)‐ and (Z)‐oxime ethers 5 and oxazaborolidine‐catalyzed stereoselective reduction of the C?N bond followed by separation of the formed diastereoisomers, furnished (2‐arylcyclopropyl)(furan‐2‐yl)methanamines 6 in optically pure form and high yield. Oxidation of the furan ring of (S,S,S)‐, (S,R,R)‐, (R,S,S)‐, and (R,R,R)‐ 6a afforded the four stereoisomers of α‐(2‐phenylcyclopropyl) glycine ( 1a ).     

Enantioselective Oxidative Aerobic Dealkylation of N‐Ethyl Benzylisoquinolines by Employing the Berberine Bridge Enzyme

N‐Dealkylation methods are well described for organic chemistry and the reaction is known in nature and drug metabolism; however, to our knowledge, enantioselective N‐dealkylation has not been yet reported. In this study, exclusively the (S)‐enantiomers of racemic N‐ethyl tertiary amines (1‐benzyl‐N‐ethyl‐1,2,3,4‐tetrahydroisoquinolines) were dealkylated to give the corresponding secondary (S)‐amines in an enantioselective fashion at the expense of molecular oxygen. The reaction is catalyzed by the berberine bridge enzyme, which is known for C? C bond formation. The dealkylation was demonstrated on a 100 mg scale and gave optically pure dealkylated products (ee>99 %).     

A new approach for the synthesis of some pyrazolo[5,1‐c]triazines and pyrazolo[1,5‐a]pyrimidines containing naphtofuran moiety

Naphtho[2,1‐b]furan‐2‐yl)(8‐phenylpyrazolo[5,1‐c][1,2,4]triazin‐3‐yl)methanone, ([1,2,4]triazolo[3,4‐c][1,2,4]triazin‐6‐yl)(naphtho[2,1‐b]furan‐2‐yl)methanone, benzo[4,5]imidazo[2,1‐c][1,2,4]triazin‐3‐yl‐naphtho[2,1‐b]furan‐2‐yl‐methanone, 5‐(naphtho[2,1‐b]furan‐2‐yl)pyrazolo[1,5‐a]pyrimidine, 7‐(naphtho[2,1‐b]furan‐2‐yl)‐[1,2,4]triazolo[4,3‐a]pyrimidine, 2‐naphtho[2,1‐b]furan‐2‐yl‐benzo[4,5]imidazo[1,2‐a]pyrimidine, pyridine, and pyrazole derivatives are synthesized from sodium salt of 5‐hydroxy‐1‐naphtho[2,1‐b]furan‐2‐ylpropenone and various reagents. The newly synthesized compounds were elucidated by elemental analysis, spectral data, chemical transformation, and alternative synthetic route whenever possible. J. Heterocyclic Chem., (2012).     

Synthesis,Cytotoxicity and Antibacterial Studies of Novel Symmetrically and Nonsymmetrically 4‐(Methoxycarbonyl)benzyl‐Substituted N‐Heterocyclic Carbene–Silver Acetate Complexes

From the reaction of 1H‐imidazole ( 1a ), 4,5‐dichloro‐1H‐imidazole ( 1b ), 1H‐benzimidazole ( 1c ), 1‐methyl‐1H‐imidazole ( 1d ), and 1‐methyl‐1H‐benzimidazole ( 1f ) with methyl 4‐(bromomethyl)benzoate ( 2 ), symmetrically and nonsymmetrically 4‐(methoxycarbonyl)benzyl‐substituted N‐heterocyclic carbene (NHC) precursors, 3a – 3f , were synthesized. These NHC precursors were then reacted with silver(I) acetate (AgOAc) to yield the NHC–silver acetate complexes (acetato‐κO){1,3‐bis[4‐(methoxycarbonyl)benzyl]imidazol‐2‐ylidene}silver ( 4a ), (acetato‐κO){4,5‐dichloro‐1,3‐bis[4‐(methoxycarbonyl)benzyl]‐2,3‐dihydro‐1H‐imidazol‐2‐yl}silver ( 4b ), (acetato‐κO){1,3‐bis[4‐(methoxycarbonyl)benzyl]‐2,3‐dihydro‐1H‐benzimidazol‐2‐yl}silver ( 4c ), (acetato‐κO){1‐[4‐(methoxycarbonyl)benzyl]‐3‐methyl‐2,3‐dihydro‐1H‐imidazol‐2‐yl}silver ( 4d ), (acetato‐κO){4,5‐dichloro‐1‐[4‐(methoxycarbonyl)benzyl]‐3‐methyl‐2,3‐dihydro‐1H‐imidazol‐2‐yl}silver ( 4e ), and (acetato‐κO){1‐[4‐(methoxycarbonyl)benzyl]‐3‐methyl‐2,3‐dihydro‐1H‐benzimidazol‐2‐yl}silver ( 4f ), respectively. The three NHC–AgOAc complexes 4a, 4c , and 4d were characterized by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction. All compounds studied in this work were preliminarily screened for their antimicrobial activities in vitro against Gram‐positive bacteria Staphylococcus aureus, and Gram‐negative bacteria Escherichia coli using the qualitative disk‐diffusion method. All NHC–AgOAc complexes exhibited weak‐to‐medium antibacterial activity with areas of clearance ranging from 4 to 7 mm at the highest amount used, while the NHC precursors showed significantly lower activity. In addition, NHC–AgOAc complexes 4a and 4b , and 4d – 4f exhibited in preliminary cytotoxicity tests on the human renal‐cancer cell line Caki‐1 medium‐to‐high cytotoxicities with IC₅₀ values ranging from 3.3±0.4 to 68.3±1 μM .     

UPLC‐HR‐MS/MS‐based determination study on the metabolism of four synthetic cannabinoids,ADB‐FUBICA,AB‐FUBICA,AB‐BICA and ADB‐BICA,by human liver microsomes

Since 2012, several cannabimimetic indazole and indole derivatives with valine amino acid amide residue have emerged in the illicit drug market, and have gradually replaced the old generations of synthetic cannabinoids (SCs) with naphthyl or adamantine groups. Among them, ADB‐FUBICA [N‐(1‐amino‐3,3‐dimethyl‐1‐oxobutan‐2‐yl)‐1‐(4‐fluorobenzyl)‐1H–indole‐3‐carboxamide], AB‐FUBICA [N‐(1‐amino‐3‐methyl‐1‐oxobutan‐2‐yl)‐1‐(4‐fluorobenzyl)‐1H–indole‐3‐carboxamide], AB‐BICA [N‐(1‐amino‐3‐methyl‐1‐oxobutan‐2‐yl)‐1‐benzyl‐1H‐indole‐3‐carboxamide] and ADB‐BICA [N‐(1‐amino‐3,3‐dimethyl‐1‐oxobutan‐2‐yl)‐1‐benzyl‐1H‐indole‐3‐carboxamide] were detected in China recently, but unfortunately no information about their in vitro human metabolism is available. Therefore, biomonitoring studies to screen their consumption lack any information about the potential biomarkers (e.g. metabolites) to target. To bridge this gap, we investigated their phase I metabolism by incubating with human liver microsomes, and the metabolites were identified by ultra‐performance liquid chromatography–high resolution–tandem mass spectrometry. Metabolites generated by N‐dealkylation and hydroxylation on the 1‐amino‐alkyl moiety were found to be predominant for all these four substances, and others which underwent hydroxylation, amide hydrolysis and dehydrogenation were also observed in our investigation. Based on our research, we recommend that the N‐dealkylation and hydroxylation metabolites are suitable and appropriate analytical markers for monitoring their intake.     

Synthesis of Aib‐ and Phe(2Me)‐Containing Cyclopentapeptides

Some recently described pentapeptides containing the α,α‐disubstituted α‐amino acids Aib and Phe(2Me) have been cyclized in DMF solution using diphenyl phosphorazidate (DPPA), O‐(1H‐benzotriazol‐1‐yl)‐N,N,N′,N′‐tetamethyluronium tetrafluoroborate/1‐hydroxybenzotriazole (TBTU/HOBt), and diethyl phosphorocyanidate (DEPC), respectively, to give the corresponding cyclopentapeptides in fair‐to‐good yields. In the case of peptides with L ‐amino acids, and (R)‐ and (S)‐Phe(2Me), the yields differed significantly in favor of the L /(R) combination. The conformations in the crystals of cyclo(Gly‐Aib‐(R,S)‐Phe(2Me)‐Aib‐Gly) and cyclo(Gly‐(R)‐Phe(2Me)‐Pro‐Aib‐Gly) have been determined by X‐ray crystallography, leading to quite different results. In the latter case, the conformation in solution has been elucidated by NMR studies.     

Design and Synthesis of 3‐Substituted‐thiazolyl‐2‐iminothiazolidin‐4‐ones as a New Class of Anticonvulsants

A new series of 3‐substituted‐thiazolyl‐2‐iminothiazolidin‐4‐ones were synthesized by nucleophilic substitution of p‐substituted‐thiazol‐2‐yl‐chloroacetamides with potassium thiocyanide by cyclization. The starting material p‐substituted‐thiazol‐2‐yl‐chloroacetamides were synthesized from p‐substituted‐thiazol‐2‐yl‐amines with chloroacetyl chloride, which in turn was prepared from one pot reaction of substituted aryl acetophenone and amino group of thiourea. The title compounds were investigated for their anticonvulsant activity. Among the tested compounds, compound 3‐(4‐(4‐fluorophenyl)thiazol‐2‐yl)‐2‐iminothiazolidin‐4‐one ( 16 ) emerged as the most active compound of the series, and it is moderately more potent than the reference standard diazepam.     

Chiral discrimination of β‐3‐homo‐amino acids using the kinetic method

Chiral discrimination of seven enantiomeric pairs of β‐3‐homo‐amino acids was studied by using the kinetic method and trimeric metal‐bound complexes, with natural and unnatural α‐amino acids as chiral reference compounds and divalent metal ions (Cu²⁺ and Ni²⁺) as the center ions. The β‐3‐homo‐amino acids were selected for this study because, first of all, chiral discrimination of β‐amino acids has not been extensively studied by mass spectrometry. Moreover, these β‐3‐homo‐amino acids studied have different aromatic side chains. Thus, the emphasis was to study the effect of the side chain (electron density of the phenyl ring, as well as the difference between phenyl and benzyl side chains) for the chiral discrimination. The results showed that by the proper choice of a metal ion and a chiral reference compound, all seven enantiomeric pairs of β‐3‐homo‐amino acids could be differentiated. Moreover, it was noted that the β‐3‐homo‐amino acids with benzyl side chains provided higher enantioselectivity than the corresponding phenyl ones. However, increasing or decreasing the electron density of the aromatic ring by different substituents in both the phenyl and benzyl side chains had practically no role for chiral discrimination of β‐3‐homo‐amino acids studied. When copper was used as the central metal, the phenyl side chain containing reference molecules (S)‐2‐amino‐2‐phenylacetic acid (L ‐Phg) and (S)‐2‐amino‐2‐(4‐hydroxyphenyl)‐acetic acid (L ‐4′‐OHPhg) gave rise to an additional copper‐reduced dimeric fragment ion, [Cu^I(ref)(A)]⁺. The inclusion of this ion improved noticeably the enantioselectivity values obtained. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Isolation of a furan fatty acid from Hevea brasiliensis latex employing the combined use of pH‐zone‐refining and conventional countercurrent chromatography

Furan fatty acids are valuable and bioactive minor fatty acids that usually contribute <0.1% to the fatty acid content of food samples. Their biological role still remains unclear as authentic furan fatty acid standards are not readily available and thorough experimental studies verifying the relevance of furan fatty acids are thus virtually impossible. An efficient protocol for the isolation of the furan fatty acid 9‐(3‐methyl‐5‐pentylfuran‐2‐yl)‐nonanoic acid from hydrolyzed and centrifuged latex of Hevea brasiliensis was developed using countercurrent chromatography. A first run using pH‐zone‐refining countercurrent chromatography provided 48.4 mg of 9‐(3‐methyl‐5‐pentylfuran‐2‐yl)‐nonanoic acid from 210 mg latex extract in a purity of 95%. The purity was increased to 99% by means of one second run in conventional countercurrent chromatography mode. The Structure and purity of 9‐(3‐methyl‐5‐pentylfuran‐2‐yl)‐nonanoic acid were determined by gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry and ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectroscopy.     

Synthesis and Functionalization of 8‐Methyl‐2h‐pyrimido [2,1‐c][1,2,4]triazine‐3,6(1h,4h)‐dione

6‐Methyl‐2‐methylthio‐4‐oxopyrimidin‐3(4H)‐yl)acetohydrazide on heating in benzylamine undergo cyclization to 8‐methyl‐2H‐pyrimido[2,1‐c][1,2,4]triazine‐3,6(1H, 4H)‐dione, which under treatment with bromine in glacial acetic acid was converted to 7‐bromo substituted derivative and at reflux with Lawesson's reagent yielded 3‐thioxo compound. The latter reacted with primary and secondary amines to give 3‐amino substituted pyrimidotriazines and on alkylation—the corresponding S‐alkyl derivatives.
