New method for the synthesis of thieno[2,3-<Emphasis Type="Italic">d</Emphasis>]pyrimidines

The reaction of 5-formyl-4-thiocyanatopyrimidines with nitromethane was studied under various conditions. The reaction was found unexpectedly to proceed with closure of a thiophene ring to give thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidines. The use of ammonium acetate as the catalyst leads to a side reaction involving closure of an isothiazole ring to give isothiazolo[5,4-d]pyrimidines. X-ray diffraction crystallographic analysis was used to confirm the structure of thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidine.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 10, pp. 1564–1571, October, 2004.

Oxidative cyclocondensation of cyclic thio-and selenoureas. 5. 2-Thioxothieno-and 2-thioxopyrido[2,3-<Emphasis Type="Italic">d</Emphasis>]pyrimidin-4-ones

A study was carried out on the oxidative cyclocondensation of 2-thioxothieno-and 2-thioxopyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4-ones. The thiophene ring with excess π-electron density facilitates the reaction, while the pyridine ring with diminished π-electron density hinders it. 2-Thioxothieno-[2,3-d]pyridimin-4-ones were converted into previously unreported 7H,13H-[1,2,4]thiadiazolo-[3,2-b:5,4-b′]bis(thieno[2,3-d]pyridimine-7,13-diones). __________ Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 9, pp. 1424–1427, September, 2007.

Condensation of 2-formyl-or 2-cyano-3-chloro-1,4-dimethoxyanthraquinone with methyl thioglycolate in the presence of base gave methyl 4,11-dimethoxyanthra[2,3-b]thiophene-5,10-dione-2-carboxylate and its 3-amino derivative respectively. Hydrolysis of the ester group in methyl 4,11-dimethoxyanthra[2,3-b]thiophene-5,10-dione-2-carboxylate and subsequent decarboxylation of the carboxylic acid formed gave 4,11-dimethoxyanthra[2,3-b]thiophene-5,10-dione.
