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.     

Pyrano[4,3-<Emphasis Type="Italic">d</Emphasis>]pyrimidinium salts

Reactions of 5-aryl- and 5,7-diaryl-1,3-dimethyl-2,4-dioxopyrano[4,3-d]pyrimidinium salts with hydrazine were studied. In the former case, the reaction products were the 6-amino-1,3-dimethyl-2,4-dioxopyrido[4,3-d]pyrimidinium salts. 5,7-Diarylpyrano[4,3-d]pyrimidinium salts were transformed into either the corresponding pyridinium salts or 1H-pyrimido-[5,4-d][1,2]diazepine-2,4(3H,9H)-diones, depending on the hydrazine concentration and the reaction time.

The synthesis and transformations of 9H-imidazo[1,2-b]pyrazolo[4,3-d]-pyridazine and 9H-pyrazolo[4,3-d]-s-triazolo[4,3-b]pyridazine derivatives

The nucleophilic and electrophilic substitutions of 6-substituted 9,9-dimethyl-9H-imidazo[1,2-b]pyrazolo- [4,3-d]pyridazines 2 , nucleophilic substitutions of 6-substituted 9,9-dimethyl-9H-pyrazolo[4,3-d]-s-triazolo- [4,3-b]pyridazines 7 and some other transformations to give compounds 3 and 8 , respectively, were studied. It was shown that both heterocyclic systems are stable under the conditions employed in these transformations.     

Synthesis of pyrazolo[4,3-d]oxazoles

1-Phenyl-3-methyl-5-pyrazolone-4-oxime reacted with benzylamine, methylamine, methyl- and ethyl ioides to give 3-methyl-1,5-diphenyl-1H-, 3-methyl-1-phenyl-1H- and 3,5-dimethyl-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazolo[4,3-d]oxazoles I, II. The structure of I was elucidated authentically through other routes by interaction of 1-phenyl-3-methyl-4,5-dioxopyrazolone with benzylamine and/or benzaldehyde and ammonium acetate. Various 3-meth-yl-5-aryl-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazolo[4,3-d]oxazoles IV were synthesized by the reaction of 4,5-dioxopyrazolone with aromatic aldehydes in the presence of ammonium acetate. Also, the structure of I was elucidated authentically via other routes by the reaction of 1-phenyl-3-methyl-4-imino-5-pyrazolone with each of benzylcyanide, benzylamine, benzaldehyde and benzalaniline.     

Synthesis of 5,7-disubstituted-4-β-D-ribofuranosylpyrazolo[4,3-d]-pyrimidines and 2,4-disubstituted-1-β-D-ribofuranosylpyrrolo[3,2-d]-pyrimidines as congeners of uridine and cytidine

The synthesis of the congeners of uridine and cytidine in the pyrazolo[4,3-d]pyrimidine and pyrrolo[3,2-d]-pyrimidine ring system is described. Glycosylation of the trimethylsilyl (TMS) derivative of pyrazolo[4,3-d)pyrimidine-5,7(1H,4H,6H)-dione (4) with either 1-bromo- or 1-O-acetyl-2,3,5-tri-O-benzoyl-D-ribofuranose 5 and 6 , respectively in the presence of a Lewis acid catalyst gave the protected nucleoside 7 , which on debenzoylation afforded the uridine analogue 4-β-D-ribofuranosylpyrazolo[4,3-d]pyrimidine-5,7(1H,6H)-dione (8). Thiation of 7 gave 13 , which on deprotection yielded 4-β-D-ribofuranosyl-5-oxopyrazolo[4,3-d]pyrimidine-7(1H,-6H)-thione (14). Ammonolysis of 13 gave a low yield of the cytidine analogue 15. A chlorination of 7 , followed by amination furnished an alternative route to 15. A similar glycosylation of TMS-4 with 2,3,5-tri-O-benzyl-α-D-arabinofuranosyl chloride (16) gave mainly the N4 glycosylated product 17 , which on debenzylation furnished 4-β-D-arabinofuranosylpyrazolo[4,3-d]pyrimidine-5,7(1H,6H)-dione (18). 7-Amino-4-β-D-arabinofuranosylpyrazolo[4,3-d]pyrimidin-5(1H)-one (23) was prepared from 17 via the pyridinium chloride intermediate 21. Condensation of the TMS derivative of pyrrolo[3,2-d]pyrimidine-2,4(1H,3H,5H)-dione (24) with 6 , followed by deprotection of the reaction product gave 1-β-D-ribofuranosylpyrrolo[3,2-d]pyrimidine-2,4(3H,5H)-dione (26). Similarly, TMS-24 was reacted with 16 to give a mixture of the blocked nucleosides 31 and 32 , which on debenzylation afforded a mixture of two isomeric compounds 34 and 35. 1-β-D-Arabinofuranosylpyrrolo[3,2-d]pyrimidine-2,4(3H,5H)-dione (34) was converted to the ara-C analogue 38 via the 3-nitrotriazolyl intermediate 36. The structure of 38 was confirmed by single crystal X-ray diffraction studies.

Summary.  Reaction of 6-Amino-2-thiouracil with hydrazonoyl halides yielded regioselectively 7-amino-1,3-disubstituted-1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-a]pyrimidine derivatives. Upon treatment with methyl (Z)-2-benzoylamino-3-dimethylaminopropenoate, the corresponding methyl (Z)-2-benzoylamino-3-([1,2, 4]triazolo[4,3-a]pyrimidin-7-yl)-amino propenoates were obtained which cyclized in the presence of sodium ethoxide to afford novel derivatives of pyrido[2,3-d][1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]pyrimidine-5,6-(1H,8H)-diones.

New syntheses of pyrido[3,2-d]pyrimidines

New synthetic routes to pyrido[3,2-d]pyrimidines starting with 5-amino-1,3,6-trimethyluracil (I) or 1,3,6-trimethyl-5-nitrouracil (X) are described. Thus, condensation of I with arylaldehydes gave 5-arylideneamino-1,3,6-trimethyluracils (IIa-h), which upon heating with dimethylformamide dimethylacetal afforded 6-aryl-1,3-dimethylpyrido[3,2-d]pyrimidine-2,4(1H,3H)-diones (Va-h) via 5-arylideneamino-1,3-dimethyl-6-(2-dimethylaminovinyl)uracils (IIIa-h). On the other hand, reaction of X with phenylacetaldehyde in the presence of base yielded Va and its 5-oxide (XI).     

New,convenient synthesis of 2-alkyl- and 2-vinylpyrazolo[3,4-d]-pyrimidine derivatives

Treatment of 1,3-dimethyl-6-hydrazinouracil with the appropriate dimethylformamide dialkylacetal afforded the, corresponding 2-alkyl-5,7-dimethylpyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine-4,6-(5H,7H)diones. The reaction of 1,3-dimethyl-6-(α-methylbenzylidenehydrazino)uracils with dimethylformamide dimethylacetal or triethyl orthoformate gave the corresponding 5,7-dimethyl-2-vinylpyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine-4,6(5H,7H)diones, respectively. Similarly, treatment of 1,3-dimethyl-6-(α-methylbenzylidenehydrazino)uraeils with triethyl orthopropionate yielded the corresponding 5,7-dimethyl-3-ethyl-2-vinylpyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine-4,6(5H,7H)diones.     

Synthesis of 1-phenyi-1H-tetrazolo[4,5-d]tetrazole and 5-aryl-1-(4-bromophenyl)-1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-d]tetrazoles

l-Phenyl-lH-tetrazol-5-yIhydrazine (2) was reacted with nitrous acid to yield 1-phenyl-lH-tetrazolo[4,5-d]tetrazole (3). l-Arylidene-2-(l-phenyl-lH-tetrazol-5-yl)hydrazines (4) were generally reactive towards electrophilic reagents. When treated with bromine in acetic acid, 4 yielded mixtures of 1-arylidene-2-[1-(4-bromophenyl)-lH-tetrazol-5-yl]hydrazines (5a-d) and 2-[1-(4-bromophenyl)-lH-tetrazol-5-yl]hydrazidic bromides (6a-d). Solvolysis of 6a-d in aqueous acetone yielded 5-aryl-1-(4-bromophenyl)-1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-d]tetrazoles (7a-d). The structures of the synthesized compounds were confirmed on the basis of elemental analysis, IR and ¹H NMR data.     

Electrophoretic determination of phenyl and p-bromophenyl substituted 1H,2H,3H,4H-pyrido[4,3-d]pyrimidinium diiodobromides

Phenyl and p-bromophenyl substituted 1H,2H,3H,4H-pyrido[4,3-d]pyrimidinium diiodobromides have been identified and determined by capillary zone electrophoresis on an unmodified quartz capillary. It has been found that an increase in the number of bromine atoms in the structure of 1H,2H,3H,4H-pyrido[4,3-d]pyrimidinium derivatives consecutively decreases the electrophoretic mobility of the cations. The developed method makes possible the determination pyrido[4,3-d]pyrimidinium derivatives in the concentration range (0.03–0.25) mM with the c _min (3.1–10.0) μM.     

New organic nitrates. II. Synthesis of 2H-pyrido[2,3-e]-1,3-oxazine-2,4(3H)-diones, 2H-pyrido[4,3-e]-1,3-oxazine-2,4(3H)-diones, 2H-pyrido[4,3-e]-1,3-oxazin-4(3H)-ones, 2H-thieno[2,3-e]-1,3-oxazin-4(3H)-ones and 2H-thieno[3,4-e]-1,3-oxazin-2,4(3H)-diones

The preparation and the physico-chemical characterization of 2H-pyrido[2,3-e]-1,3-oxazine-2,4(3H)-diones, 2H-pyrido[4,3-e]-1,3-oxazine-2,4(3H)-diones, 2H-pyrido[4,3-e]-1,3-oxazin-4(3H)-ones, 2H-thieno[2,3-e]-1,3-oxazin-4(3H)-ones and 2H-thieno[3,4-e]-1,3-oxazine-2,4(3H)-diones are reported.     

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 .     

Synthesis and antifolate activity of 2,4-diamino-5,6,7,8-tetrahydropyrido[4,3-d]pyrimidine analogues of trimetrexate and piritrexim

2,4-Diamino-5,6,7,8-tetrahydropyrido[4,3-d]pyrimidines with di- and trimethoxyaralkyl substitution at the 6-position were synthesized from the N⁶-unsubstituted compound and appropriate aralkyl bromides in N,N-dimethylformamide solution containing a catalytic amount of sodium iodide. An improved method of preparation of 2,4-diamino-5,6,7,8-tetrahydropyrido[4,3-d]pyrimidine from 2-amino-6-benzyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydropyrido[4,3-d]pyrimidin-4(3H)-one was also developed, in which N² was protected by reaction with pivalic anhydride and the resulting product was subjected consecutively to reaction with 4-chlorophenylphosphorodichloridate and 1,2,4-triazole, ammonolysis to replace the 4-imidazolido group and remove the N²-pivaloyl group, and catalytic hydrogenolysis to remove the 6-benzyl group. In assays of the ability of the products to inhibit dihydrofolate reductase from Pneumocystis carinii, and Toxoplasma gondii, and rat liver the most active of the compounds tested was 2,4-diamino-6-(2′-bromo-3′,4′,5′-trimethoxybenzyl)-5,6,7,8-tetrahydropyrido[4,3-d]pyrimidine. The concentration of this compound needed to inhibit enzyme activity by 50% was 0.51 μM against the P. carinii enzyme, 0.09 μM against the T. gondii enzyme, and 0.35 μM against the rat enzyme. Thus, there was selectivity of binding to T. gondii enzyme, but not P. carinii enzyme, relative to rat enzyme. 2′,5′-Dimethoxybenzyl analogues were less active than the corresponding 3′,4′,5′-trimethoxybenzyl analogues, and compounds with a CH₂CH₂ or CH₂CH₂CH₂ bridge were less active than those with a CH₂ bridge. 2,4-Diamino-6-(2′-bromo-3′,4′,5′-trimethoxybenzyl)-5,6,7,8-tetrahydropyrido[4,3-d]pyrimidine showed greater selectivity than trimetrexate or piritrexim for the P. carinii and T. gondii enzyme, but was less selective than trimethoprim or pyrimethamine. However its molar potency against both enzymes was greater than that of trimethoprim, the antifolate most commonly used, in combination with sulfamethoxazole, for initial treatment of opportunistic P. carinii and T. gondii infections in patients with AIDS and other disorders of the immune system.     

Synthesis of some 3-alkenyl-4-oxo-6,7-dihydro-4H-pyrano[3,4-d]isoxazoles

A series of 3-alkenyl-4-oxo-6,7-dihydro-4H-pyrano[3,4-d]isoxazole derivatives was prepared by reaction of hydroxylamine with 4,5-dioxo-2,3,7,8-tetrahydro-4H,5H-pyrano[4,3-b]pyran derivatives.     

Studies on the chemistry of 5-propynyloxy- and 5-propynylthiopyrimidines: New syntheses of furo- and thieno[3,2-d]pyrimidines

The utility of certain 5-alkynyloxy-, 5-alkynylthio, and 5-alkynylsulfinyl-pyrimidines as precursors of 7-substituted furo[3,2-d]- and thieno[3,2-d]pyrimidines has been examined. When treated with sodium methoxide in warm methyl sulfoxide, 1,3-dimethyl-5-(2-propynyloxy)uracil ( 6 ) cyclizes to afford 1,3,7-tri-methylfuro[3,2-d]pyrimidine-2,4-(1H,3H)-dione ( 12 ) in 52% yield, possibly via the allenic ether 9 (R = H). The corresponding 5-(2-butynyloxy)pyrimidine ( 7 ), obtained in good yield by treating 6 with methyl iodide and sodium hydride in methyl sulfoxide, fails to undergo an analogous cyclization. However, compound 7 does undergo a normal alkynyl Claisen rearrangement and cyclization when heated at 130°, giving the 8-methylpyrano[3,2-d]pyrimidine 8 in methyl sulfoxide and the 6,7-dimethylfuro[3,2-d]pyrimidme 11 in dimethylformamide. The 5-(2-propynylthio)pyrimidine 15 affords the allene 19 and the 1-propyne 22 when treated with various bases, but none of the 7-methylthieno[3,2-d]pyrimidine 16. At 145° in methyl sulfoxide, 15 undergoes a thio-Claisen rearrangement process to afford the 6-methylthieno[3,2-d]pyrimidine 17 together with substantial amounts of a product 20 that bears a 7-thiomethoxymethyl substituent derived from the solvent. Heating the 5-(2-propynylsulfinyl)pyriniidine 23 at 105° in methyl sulfoxide, followed by acidification of the reaction mixture, affords 1,3-dimethyl-7-formylthieno[3,2-d]pyrimidine-2,4-(1H,3H)-dione ( 29 ) in 47% yield. Deuterium labelling studies established that the aldehyde proton of 29 is derived from the 3′-proton of 23 . This finding is consistent with a mechanism that involves sequential [2,3] and [3,3] sigma-tropic rearrangements, and the intermediacy of a dihydrothieno[3,2-d]pyrimidine such as compound 30.     

An improved synthesis of pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidines

An improved and efficient synthesis of 1,3-dialkylpyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidine-2,4-(1H,3H)-diones from 6-methylaminouracils and methyl propiolate or diethyl ethoxymethylenemalonate is described.     

A Convenient Synthesis of NovelDerivatives of Pyrido[2,3- d ][1,2,4]triazolo[4,3- a ]pyrimidine-5,6-dione

 Reaction of 6-Amino-2-thiouracil with hydrazonoyl halides yielded regioselectively 7-amino-1,3-disubstituted-1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-a]pyrimidine derivatives. Upon treatment with methyl (Z)-2-benzoylamino-3-dimethylaminopropenoate, the corresponding methyl (Z)-2-benzoylamino-3-([1,2, 4]triazolo[4,3-a]pyrimidin-7-yl)-amino propenoates were obtained which cyclized in the presence of sodium ethoxide to afford novel derivatives of pyrido[2,3-d][1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]pyrimidine-5,6-(1H,8H)-diones.     

A reinvestigation of the synthesis of 3H-[1,2]diazepino[5,6-b]indoles. The synthesis of pyrido[4,3-b]indoles

Recently reported [1] syntheses of 6-methyl-1,2,4,5-tetrahydro-1,4-dioxo-3H[1,2]diazepino[5,6-b]indole ( 5 ) and 4-hydroxy-6-methyl-3H[1,2]diazepino[5,6-b]indole ( 12 ) were reinvestigated and shown to be in error. The correct assignments for these respective structures are 3-amino-1,9-dihydro-9-methyl-2H-pyrido[4,3-b]indol-2,4(3H)-dione ( 6 ) and 3-amino-3,9-dihydro-9-methyl-2H-pyrido[4,3-b]indol-2-one ( 13 ). Condensation of 6 and 13 with p-nitrobenzaldehyde produced benzylidene derivatives, which confirmed the presence of the amino groups.     

Aromaticity in heterocyclic systems V. Bromination studies of certain purines,pyrrolo[3,2-d]pyrimidines and pyrazolo[4,3-d]pyrimidines

The bromination of certain selected purines, pyrrolo[3,2-d]pyrimidines and pyrazolo[4,3-d]-pyrimidines has been studied and the reactivity of these systems compared. Displacement of a carboxyl group by bromine was noted in the case of 6-carboxypyrrolo[3,2-d]-2,4-pyrimidinedione. In contrast to xanthine, 2,6-diethoxypurine readily brominated at position 8. Pyrazolo-[4,3-d]-7-pyrimidone was readily brominated at position 3.
