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-pyrano4,3-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-dimethylpyrido4,3-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-pyrido4,3-d]-pyrimidinium salts.
