Synthesis of Bis‐Heterocyclic 1H‐Imidazole 3‐Oxides from 3‐Oxido‐1H‐imidazole‐4‐carbohydrazides

The reaction of 1H‐imidazole‐4‐carbohydrazides 1 , which are conveniently accessible by treatment of the corresponding esters with NH₂NH₂?H₂O, with isothiocyanates in refluxing EtOH led to thiosemicarbazides (=hydrazinecarbothioamides) 4 in high yields (Scheme 2). Whereas 4 in boiling aqueous NaOH yielded 2,4‐dihydro‐3H‐1,2,4‐triazole‐3‐thiones 5 , the reaction in concentrated H₂SO₄ at room temperature gave 1,3,4‐thiadiazol‐2‐amines 6 . Similarly, the reaction of 1 with butyl isocyanate led to semicarbazides 7 , which, under basic conditions, undergo cyclization to give 2,4‐dihydro‐3H‐1,2,4‐triazol‐3‐ones 8 (Scheme 3). Treatment of 1 with Ac₂O yielded the diacylhydrazine derivatives 9 exclusively, and the alternative isomerization of 1 to imidazol‐2‐ones was not observed (Scheme 4). It is important to note that, in all these transformations, the imidazole N‐oxide residue is retained. Furthermore, it was shown that imidazole N‐oxides bearing a 1,2,4‐triazole‐3‐thione or 1,3,4‐thiadiazol‐2‐amine moiety undergo the S‐transfer reaction to give bis‐heterocyclic 1H‐imidazole‐2‐thiones 11 by treatment with 2,2,4,4‐tetramethylcyclobutane‐1,3‐dithione (Scheme 5).     

On triazoles XLIV [1]. synthesis of new ring systems containing imidazo[2′,1′:3,4] [1,2,4] triazolo [1,5‐a]pyrimidine and imidazo[1′,2′:2,3][1,2,4]triazolo[1,5‐a]pyrimidine skeleton

Dedicated to Dr. János Császár on the occasion of his 70^th birthday Ring transformation of 2‐cyanoimido‐3‐methyl‐1,3‐oxazolidine ( 10 ) yielded 5‐amino‐3‐[N‐(2‐hydrox‐yethyl)‐N‐methyl]amino‐1H‐1,2,4‐triazole ( 6 ) that was ring closed with different β‐keto esters to 2‐[N‐(2‐hydroxyethyl)‐N‐methyl]amino‐1,2,4‐triazolo[1,5‐a]pyrimidinones ( 4 ). Cyclisation of derivatives 4 led to imidazo[2′,1′:3,4][1,2,4]triazolo[1,5‐a]pyrimidines ( 2 ) and imidazo[1′,2′:2,3][1,2,4]triazolo[1,5‐a]pyrim‐idines ( 3 ) representing 10 novel ring systems. Besides spectroscopical evidence of structure of derivatives 2 and 3 X‐ray diffraction analysis of derivative 2b was also performed.     

Synthesis of New Furo[3,4‐b]quinolin‐1(3H)‐one Scaffolds Derived from γ‐Lactone‐Fused Quinolin‐4(1H)‐ones

In the context of our aim of discovering new antitumor drugs among synthetic γ‐lactone‐ and γ‐lactam‐fused 1‐methylquinolin‐4(1H)‐ones, we developed a rapid access to 5‐methyl‐1,3‐dioxolo[4,5‐g]furo[3,4‐b]quinoline‐8,9(5H,6H)‐dione ( 9 ) exploiting the γ‐lactone‐fused chloroquinoline 10 previously synthesized in our laboratory (Scheme 1). We also elaborated efficient synthetic methods allowing for a rapid access to two nonclassical bioisosteres of 9 , i.e., a deoxy and a carba analogue. The deoxy analogue 11 was prepared in two steps from the γ‐lactone‐fused quinoline 13 which was also the synthetic precursor of 10 (Scheme 1). The carba analogue 6,9‐dihydro‐5‐methyl‐9‐methylene‐1,3‐dioxolo[4,5‐g]furo[3,4‐b]quinolin‐8(5H)‐one ( 12 ) was easily prepared by HCl elimination from the 9‐(chloromethyl)dioxolofuroquinoline 15 , which was obtained via a three‐component one‐pot reaction from N‐methyl‐3,4‐(methylenedioxy)aniline (=N‐methyl‐1,3‐benzodioxol‐5‐amine; 16 ), commercially available chloroacetaldehyde, and tetronic acid ( 17 ) (Scheme 2).     

Reaction of Optically Active Oxiranes with Thiofenchone and 1‐Methylpyrrolidine‐2‐thione: Formation of 1,3‐Oxathiolanes and Thiiranes

The SnCl₄‐catalyzed reaction of (?)‐thiofenchone (=1,3,3‐trimethylbicyclo[2.2.1]heptane‐2‐thione; 10 ) with (R)‐2‐phenyloxirane ((R)‐ 11 ) in anhydrous CH₂Cl₂ at ?60° led to two spirocyclic, stereoisomeric 4‐phenyl‐1,3‐oxathiolanes 12 and 13 via a regioselective ring enlargement, in accordance with previously reported reactions of oxiranes with thioketones (Scheme 3). The structure and configuration of the major isomer 12 were determined by X‐ray crystallography. On the other hand, the reaction of 1‐methylpyrrolidine‐2‐thione ( 14a ) with (R)‐ 11 yielded stereoselectively (S)‐2‐phenylthiirane ((S)‐ 15 ) in 56% yield and 87–93% ee, together with 1‐methylpyrrolidin‐2‐one ( 14b ). This transformation occurs via an S_N2‐type attack of the S‐atom at C(2) of the aryl‐substituted oxirane and, therefore, with inversion of the configuration (Scheme 4). The analogous reaction of 14a with (R)‐2‐{[(triphenylmethyl)oxy]methyl}oxirane ((R)‐ 16b ) led to the corresponding (R)‐configured thiirane (R)‐ 17b (Scheme 5); its structure and configuration were also determined by X‐ray crystallography. A mechanism via initial ring opening by attack at C(3) of the alkyl‐substituted oxirane, with retention of the configuration, and subsequent decomposition of the formed 1,3‐oxathiolane with inversion of the configuration is proposed (Scheme 5).     

Synthesis of [3,3′(4H,4′H)‐Bi‐2H‐1,3‐oxazine]‐4,4′‐diones and Their Hydrolysis

The [3,3′(4H,4′H)‐bi‐2H‐1,3‐oxazine]‐4,4′‐diones 3a – 3i were obtained by [2+4] cycloaddition reactions of furan‐2,3‐diones 1a – 1c with aromatic aldazines 2a – 2d (Scheme 1). So, new derivatives of bi‐2H‐1,3‐oxazines and their hydrolysis products, 3,5‐diaryl‐1H‐pyrazoles 4a – 4c (Scheme 3), which are potential biologically active compounds, were synthesized for the first time.     

Multicomponent Transformation of Isoindoline‐1,3‐diimine (=1H‐Isoindole‐1,3(2H)‐diimine), Acetylenic Esters,and Triphenylphosphine to Novel Dihydropyrimido[2,1‐a]isoindole Derivatives

The three‐component reaction of the zwitterions generated from dialkyl acetylenedicarboxylates (=dialkyl but‐2‐ynedioates and triphenylphosphine (Ph₃P) with isoindoline‐1,3‐diimine (=1H‐isoindole‐1,3(2H)‐diimine) is described (Scheme 1). This reaction affords the corresponding special type of substituted dihydropyrimido[2,1‐a]isoindole derivatives in good yields without using any catalyst and activation (Table).     

Synthesis and reactions of 3‐amino‐2‐methyl‐3H‐[1,2,4]triazolo[5,1‐b]‐quinazolin‐9‐one and 2‐hydrazino‐3‐phenylamino‐3H‐quinazolin‐4‐one

The reaction of 3‐N‐(2‐mercapto‐4‐oxo‐4H‐quinazolin‐3‐yl)acetamide ( 1 ) with hydrazine hydrate yielded 3‐amino‐2‐methyl‐3H‐[1,2,4]triazolo[5,1‐b]quinazolin‐9‐one ( 2 ). The reaction of 2 with o‐chlorobenzaldehyde and 2‐hydroxy‐naphthaldehyde gave the corresponding 3‐arylidene amino derivatives 3 and 4 , respectively. Condensation of 2 with 1‐nitroso‐2‐naphthol afforded the corresponding 3‐(2‐hydroxy‐naphthalen‐1‐yl‐diazenyl)‐2‐methyl‐3H‐[1,2,4]triazolo[5,1‐b]quinazolin‐9‐one ( 5 ), which on subsequent reduction by SnCl₂ and HCl gave the hydrazino derivative 6. Reaction of 2 with phenyl isothiocyanate in refluxing ethanol yielded thiourea derivative 7. Ring closure of 7 subsequently cyclized on refluxing with phencyl bromide, oxalyl dichloride and chloroacetic acid afforded the corresponding thiazolidine derivatives 8, 9 and 10 , respectively. Reaction of 2‐mercapto‐3‐phenylamino‐3H‐quinazolin‐4‐one ( 11 ) with hydrazine hydrate afforded 2‐hydrazino‐3‐phenylamino‐3H‐quinazolin‐4‐one ( 12 ). The reactivity 12 towards carbon disulphide, acetyl acetone and ethyl acetoacetate gave 13, 14 and 15 , respectively. Condensation of 12 with isatin afforded 2‐[N‐(2‐oxo‐1,2‐dihydroindol‐3‐ylidene)hydrazino]‐3‐phenylamino‐3H‐quinazolin‐4‐one ( 16 ). 2‐(4‐Oxo‐3‐phenylamino‐3,4‐dihydroquinazolin‐2‐ylamino)isoindole‐1,3‐dione ( 17 ) was synthesized by the reaction of 12 with phthalic anhydride. All isolated products were confirmed by their ir, ¹H nmr, ¹³C nmr and mass spectra.     

An Efficient One‐Pot,Four‐Component Synthesis of {[(1H‐1,2,3‐Triazol‐4‐yl)methoxy]phenyl}‐1H‐pyrazolo[1,2‐b]phthalazine‐5,10‐dione Derivatives

The 1‐{[(1H‐1,2,3‐Triazol‐4‐yl)methoxy]phenyl}‐1H‐pyrazolo[1,2‐b]phthalazine‐5,10‐dione derivatives 5 were synthesized by a simple and efficient method, i.e., by the four‐component, one‐pot condensation reaction of phthalohydrazide 4 , a (propargyloxy)benzaldehyde 1 , an active methylene compound 3 (malononitrile or ethyl cyanoacetate), and an azide 2 in the presence of Cu(OAc)₂/sodium L ‐ascorbate as catalyst and 1‐methyl‐1H‐imidazolium trifluoroacetate ([Hmim](CF₃COO)) as an ionic‐liquid medium in good to excellent yields (Scheme 1).     

Synthesis of novel fused tricyclic quinolones: 4a,5‐Dihydro‐1H‐[1;2,4]triazino[1,6‐a]quinoline‐2,4,6(3H)‐triones

A versatile methodology to build the 1H‐[1,2,4]triazino[1,6‐a]quinoline‐2,4,6(3H)‐trione structure from methyl 6‐fluoro4‐oxo‐1,4‐dihydro‐2‐quinolinecarboxylate was developed. The method involves an N‐ami‐nation followed by condensation of an aroyl isocyanate to form an alpha semicarbazidocarboxylate that readily cyclizes to the fused [1,2,4]triazino ring under ammonia/ethanol condition. Also, the reactivity of the [1,2,4]triazino ring thus obtained was studied.     

Azinoiminophosphorane mediated 4H,8H‐1,2,4‐triazolo[1,5‐C]‐[1,3]oxazepin‐4‐ones and 5,6‐dihydro‐7H, 12H‐naphtho[2,1‐f]‐[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5‐c][1,3]oxazepin‐7‐ones synthesis

The aza‐Wittig reactions of benzaldehyde‐, acetophenone‐ and benzophenone 1‐[(triphenylphosphor‐anylidene)amino]ethylidenehydrazones ( 1 ) with 2,3‐furandiones 6 provide a new route to 4H,8H‐1,2,4‐triazolo[1,5‐c][1,3]oxazepin‐4‐ones 14 or 5,6‐dihydro‐7H,12H‐naphtho[2,1‐f|[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5‐c]‐[1,3]oxazepin‐7‐ones 17 via the thermal reaction of the expected azinoimine vinylogous lactones.     

A One‐Pot Biginelli Synthesis of 6‐Unsubstituted 5‐Aroylpyrimidin‐2(1H)‐ones and 6‐Acetyl‐1,2,4‐triazin‐3(2H)‐ones

The three‐component Biginelli‐like cyclocondensation reaction of enamines 1 , urea, and aldehydes in dioxane/acetic acid efficiently afforded the corresponding 6‐unsubstituted 3,4‐dihydropyrimidin‐2(1H)‐ones 2 in good yields (Scheme 1, Table). The corresponding reaction of azaenamine (=hydrazone) 7 with benzaldehyde and urea afforded 6‐acetyl‐1,2,4‐triazin‐3(2H)‐ones in good yields (Scheme 3).     

Synthesis of New Bis‐imidazole Derivatives

The reaction of aldimines with α‐(hydroxyimino) ketones of type 10 (1,2‐diketone monooximes) was used to prepare 2‐unsubstituted imidazole 3‐oxides 11 bearing an alkanol chain at N(1) (Scheme 2, Table 1). These products were transformed into the corresponding 2H‐imidazol‐2‐ones 13 and 2H‐imidazole‐2‐thiones 14 by treatment with Ac₂O and 2,2,4,4‐tetramethylcyclobutane‐1,3‐dithione, respectively (Scheme 3). The three‐component reaction of 10 , formaldehyde, and an alkane‐1,ω‐diamine 15 gave the bis[1H‐imidazole 3‐oxides] 16 (Scheme 4, Table 2). With Ac₂O, 2,2,4,4‐tetramethylcyclobutane‐1,3‐dithione or Raney‐Ni, the latter reacted to give the corresponding bis[2H‐imidazol‐2‐ones] 19 and 20 , bis[2H‐imidazol‐2‐thione] 21 , and bis[imidazole] 22 , respectively (Schemes 5 and 6). The structures of 11a and 16b were established by X‐ray crystallography.     

Perchloric Acid–Silica (HClO4⋅SiO2)‐Catalyzed Synthesis of 14‐Alkyl‐ or 14‐Aryl‐14H‐dibenzo[a,j]xanthenes and N‐[(2‐Hydroxynaphthalen‐1‐yl)methyl]amides

The synthesis of 14‐aryl‐ or 14‐alkyl‐14H‐dibenzo[a,j]xanthenes 3 involving the treatment of naphthalen‐2‐ol ( 1 ) with arenecarboxaldehydes or alkanals 2 in the presence of HClO₄?SiO₂ as a heterogeneous catalyst was achieved (Table 1), and this reaction was extended to the preparation of N‐[(2‐hydroxynaphthalen‐1‐yl)methyl]amides 5 by a three‐component reaction with urea ( 4a ) or an amide 4b – d as a third reactant (Table 2).     

On the Formation of 2‐Sulfonylbenzo[a]heptalene‐1,3‐diols as Precursors for the Synthesis of Colchicinoids

The benzo[a]heptalene formation from 4‐[(R‐sulfonyl)acetyl]heptalene‐5‐carboxylates 15 and 5‐[(R‐sulfonyl)acetyl]heptalene‐4‐carboxylates 16 (R=Ph or morpholino) in the presence of R′SO₂CH₂Li and BuLi has been investigated (Scheme 6). Only the sulfonyl moiety linked to the C?O group at C(4) of the heptalene skeleton is found at C(3) of the formed benzo[a]heptalene‐2,4‐diols 3 in accordance with the general mechanism of their formation (Scheme 3). Intermediates that might rearrange to corresponding 2‐sulfonylbenzo[a]heptalene‐1,3‐diols lose HO^? under the reaction conditions to yield the corresponding cyclopenta[d]heptalenones of type 11 (Schemes 6 and 7). However, the presence of an additional Me group at C(α) of the lithioalkyl sulfones suppresses the loss of HO^?, and 4‐methyl‐2‐sulfonylbenzo[a]heptalene‐1,3‐diols of type 4c have been isolated and characterized for the first time (Schemes 8 and 10). A number of X‐ray crystal‐structure analyses of starting materials and of the new benzo[a]heptalenes have been performed. Finally, benzo[a]heptalene 4c has been transformed into its 1,2,3‐trimethoxy derivative 23 , a benzo[a]heptalene with the colchicinoid substitution pattern at ring A (Scheme 11).     

Synthesis of Isoindolo[2,1‐a]quinazoline‐5,11‐dione Derivatives via the Reductive One‐Pot Reaction of N‐Substituted 2‐Nitrobenzamides and 2‐Formylbenzoic Acids

Various isoindolo[2,1‐a]quinazoline‐5,11‐dione derivatives 3 were synthesized in good yields by means of the reductive reaction of N‐substituted 2‐nitrobenzamides 1 and 2‐formylbenzoic acids 2 in the presence of SnCl₂?2 H₂O under reflux in EtOH (Scheme, Table). The procedure needed two steps, the reduction of the nitro group of the 2‐nitrobenzamide and ring closure by nucleophilic addition of the NH₂ group to both the formyl and carboxylic acid C?O groups.     

A Novel,One‐Pot Four‐Component Route to 2′‐Thioxo‐2′,3′‐dihydrospiro[indole‐3,6′‐[1,3]thiazin]‐2‐one Derivatives

An efficient route to 2′,3′‐dihydro‐2′‐thioxospiro[indole‐3,6′‐[1,3]thiazin]‐2(1H)‐one derivatives is described. It involves the reaction of isatine, 1‐phenyl‐2‐(1,1,1‐triphenyl‐λ⁵‐phosphanylidene)ethan‐1‐one, and different amines in the presence of CS₂ in dry MeOH at reflux (Scheme 1). The alkyl carbamodithioate, which results from the addition of the amine to CS₂, is added to the α,β‐unsaturated ketone, resulting from the reaction between 1‐phenyl‐2‐(1,1,1‐triphenyl‐λ⁵‐phosphanylidene)ethan‐1‐one and isatine, to produce the 3′‐alkyl‐2′,3′‐dihydro‐4′‐phenyl‐2′‐thioxospiro[indole‐3,6′‐[1,3]thiazin]‐2(1H)‐one derivatives in excellent yields (Scheme 2). Their structures were corroborated spectroscopically (IR, ¹H‐ and ¹³C‐NMR, and EI‐MS) and by elemental analyses.     

Synthesis of Substituted Pyrrolo[3,4‐a]carbazoles

The cycloaddition between N‐protected 3‐{1‐[(trimethylsilyl)oxy]ethenyl}‐1H‐indoles and substituted maleimides (= 1H‐pyrrole‐2,5‐diones) yielded substituted pyrrolo[3,4‐a]carbazole derivatives bearing an additional succinimide (= pyrrolidine‐2,5‐dione) moiety either at C(5a) or C(10b) depending on the type of the protection group at the indole N‐atom. Derivatives substituted at C(10b) were isolated when the protection group, Me₃Si or Boc (^tBuOCO), was eliminated during the reaction (Schemes 2 and 3), whereas a substitution at C(5a) was observed when an electron‐withdrawing group, Tos (4‐MeC₆H₄SO₂) or pivaloyl (Me₃CCO), was not eliminated (Scheme 1). Complex results were found in reactions between 1‐(trimethylsilyl)‐3‐{1‐[(trimethylsilyl)oxy]ethenyl}‐1H‐indole, in contrast to formerly reported results (Scheme 3). Some derivatives of 1H,5H‐[1,2,4]triazolo[1′,2 : 1,2]pyridazino[3,4‐b]indole‐1,3(2H)‐dione were obtained from reactions with 4‐phenyl‐3H‐1,2,4‐triazole‐3,5(4H)‐dione (Scheme 2). All structures were established by spectroscopic data, by calculations, and one representative structure was confirmed by an X‐ray crystallographic analysis (Fig.). Finally, the formation of the different structure types was discussed, and compared with similar reactions reported in the literature.     

Synthesis of some novel pyrazolo[1,5‐a]pyrimidine, 1,2,4‐triazolo[1,5‐a]pyrimidine,pyrido[2,3‐d]pyrimidine,pyrazolo[5,1‐c]‐1,2,4‐triazine and 1,2,4‐triazolo[5,1‐c]‐1,2,4‐triazine derivatives incorporating a thiazolo[3,2‐a]benzimidazole moiety

E‐3‐(N,N‐Dimethylamino)‐1‐(3‐methylthiazolo[3,2‐a]benzimidazol‐2‐yl)prop‐2‐en‐1‐one ( 2 ) was synthesized by the reaction of 1‐(3‐methylthiazolo[3,2‐a]benzimidazol‐2‐yl)ethanone ( 1 ) with dimethylformamide‐dimethylacetal. The reaction of 2 with 5‐amino‐3‐phenyl‐1H‐pyrazole ( 4a ) or 3‐amino‐1,2,4‐(1H)‐triazole ( 4b ) furnished pyrazolo[1,5‐a]pyrimidine and 1,2,4‐triazolo[1,5‐a]pyrimidine derivatives 6a and 6b , while the reaction of enaminone 2 with 6‐aminopyrimidine derivatives 7a,b afforded pyrido[2,3‐d]pyrimidine derivatives 9a,b , respectively. The diazonium salts 11a or 11b coupled with compound 2 to yield the pyrazolo[5,1‐c]‐1,2,4‐triazine and 1,2,4‐triazolo[5,1‐c]‐1,2,4‐triazine derivatives 13a and 13b . Some of the newly synthesized compounds exhibited a moderate effect against some bacterial and fungal species.     

New Approaches to the Synthesis of 4‐(2‐Aminophenyl)‐1,3‐dihydro‐2H‐imidazol‐2‐ones and 3‐Ureidoindoles and a Study of Their Interconversion

3‐Alkyl/aryl‐3‐ureido‐1H,3H‐quinoline‐2,4‐diones ( 2 ) and 3a‐alkyl/aryl‐9b‐hydroxy‐3,3a,5,9b‐tetrahydro‐1H‐imidazo[4,5‐c]quinoline‐2,4‐diones ( 3 ) react in boiling concentrated HCl to give 5‐alkyl/aryl‐4‐(2‐aminophenyl)‐1,3‐dihydro‐2H‐imidazol‐2‐ones ( 6 ). The same compounds were prepared by the same procedure from 2‐alkyl/aryl‐3‐ureido‐1H‐indoles ( 4 ), which were obtained from the reaction of 3‐alkyl/aryl‐3‐aminoquinoline‐2,4(1H,3H)‐diones ( 1 ) with 1,3‐diphenylurea or by the transformation of 3a‐alkyl/aryl‐9b‐hydroxy‐3,3a,5,9b‐tetrahydro‐1H‐imidazo[4,5‐c]quinoline‐2,4‐diones ( 3 ) and 5‐alkyl/aryl‐4‐(2‐aminophenyl)‐1,3‐dihydro‐2H‐imidazol‐2‐ones ( 6 ) in boiling AcOH. The latter were converted into 1,3‐bis[2‐(2‐oxo‐2,3‐dihydro‐1H‐imidazol‐4‐yl)phenyl]ureas ( 5 ) by treatment with triphosgene. All compounds were characterized by ¹H‐ and ¹³C‐NMR and IR spectroscopy, as well as atmospheric pressure chemical‐ionisation mass spectra.     

Formylation of 4,7‐Dihydro‐1,2,4‐triazolo[1,5‐a]pyrimidines Using Vilsmeier–Haack Conditions

Formylation of 5‐methyl‐7‐phenyl‐4,7‐dihydro‐1,2,4‐triazolo[1,5‐a]pyrimidine 1a using Vilsmeier–Haack conditions yields 5‐methyl‐7‐phenyl‐4,7‐dihydro‐1,2,4‐triazolo[1,5‐a]pyrimidin‐6‐ylcarbaldehyde 3a . 5,7‐Diaryl‐4,7‐dihydro‐1,2,4‐triazolo[1,5‐a]pyrimidines 1b , 1c in this reaction apart from formylation undergo recyclization into 5‐aryl‐1,2,4‐triazolo[1,5‐a]pyrimidin‐6‐ylmethane derivatives 4b , 4c , 5b , 5c , and 6 . The structure of the synthesized compounds was determined on the basis of NMR, IR, and MS spectroscopic data and confirmed by the X‐ray analysis of the 6‐(ethoxy‐phenyl‐methyl)‐5‐phenyl‐[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5‐a]pyrimidine 6 , 5‐phenyl‐6‐(1‐phenyl‐vinyl)‐[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5‐a]pyrimidine 11 , and 7‐phenyl‐6‐(1‐phenyl‐vinyl)‐[1,2,4]triazolo[4,3‐a]pyrimidine 12 .
