1,2-Fused pyrimidines. III. Derivatives of 12H-pyrido[1′,2′:1,2]pyrimido[4,5-b]quinoline,a novel heterocyclic system

Reactivities of 2-amino-4H-pyrido[1,2-a]pyrimidin-4-ones and 4-amino-2H-pyrido[1,2-a]pyrimidin-2-ones, both N,N-dialkyl and (N-alkyl, N-phenyl)substituted, when treated with the N,N-dimethylformamide/phosphorus oxychloride Vilsmeier-Haack reagent XII were compared. Starting from 2-[(N-alkyl, N-phenyl)amino] compounds IXa,b , the expected XVIa,b and XVIIa,b were obtained, which are derivatives of 12H-pyrido[1′,2′:1,2]pyrimido[4,5-b]quinoline, a novel heterocyclic system. When 2-(phenylamino) compound IXc was used a mixture of 3-formylderivative XVIII and 12H-pyrido-[1′,2′:1,2]pyrimido[4,5-b]quinolin-12-one ( XIX ) resulted from the reaction. On the other hand, 2-(dialkylamino)-4H-pyrido[1,2-a]pyrimidin-4-ones IIIa-c plainly afforded high yields of 3-formylderivatives XIVa-c. In contrast, no significant reaction occurred when 4-(dialkylamino) and 4-[(N-alkyl,N-phenyl)amino] compounds IIa-c and VIIIa,b were treated with the reagent XII , under the same as well as more severe conditions. A clear difference in the nucleophilic reactivity of C-3 position between these two classes of isomers is pointed out by the above summarized results.     

Synthesis of new imidazo[1,2-a]pyrazolo[4,3-e]pyrimidin-4(6H)-one derivatives by iodocyclization of 6-alkenyl(alkynyl)-aminopyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-4(5H)-ones

6-Allyl(diallyl, prop-2-yn-1-yl)amino-1-R-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-4(5H)-ones reacted with iodine to give angularly fused 8-iodomethyl-7,8-dihydro-1-R-imidazo[1,2-a]pyrazolo[4,3-e]pyrimidin-4(6H)-ones which were treated with sodium acetate to obtain 8-methylidene-1-R-7,8-dihydroimidazo[1,2-a]pyrazolo-[4,3-e]pyrimidin-4(6H)-ones as a result of elimination of hydrogen iodide. 8-Methylidene-1-R-7,8-dihydroimidazo[1,2-a]pyrazolo[4,3-e]pyrimidin-4(6H)-ones were converted into 8-methyl-1-R-imidazo[1,2-a]pyrazolo-[4,3-e]pyrimidin-4(5H)-ones on heating to the melting point. 8-Methylidene-1-phenyl-7,8-dihydroimidazo-[1,2-a]pyrazolo[4,3-e]pyrimidin-4(6H)-one underwent isomerization into linearly fused 6-methyl-1-phenyl-1,8-dihydro-4H-imidazo[1,2-a]pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-4-one on heating in sulfuric acid.     

Nitrogen bridgehead compounds VIII . Ring transformations IV . Synthesis and reactions of 2,3-Cycloalkylene-4H-pyrido [1,2-a] pyrimidin-4-ones

By condensing alicyclic β-ketocarboxylates with substituted 2-aminopyridines in polyphosphoric acid or phosphoryl chloride-polyphosphoric acid, numerous 2,3-tri-, tetra-, penta- and hexamethylene-4H-pvrido[1,2-a]pyrimidin-4-ones were synthesized for pharmacological purposes. The stability and several reactions of the title compounds were studied. The 6-substituted-4H-pyrido[1,2-a]pyrimidin-4-ones were transformed into 1,8-naphthyridines in good yields independent of the ring size of ring C . The characteristic differences in the ir and uv spectra of the pyrido-pyrimidines and the corresponding naphthyridines are discussed. Catalytic hydrogenation of the pyrido[1,2-a]pyrimidin-4-ones furnished the corresponding 6,7,8,9-tetrahydropyrido-[1,2-a]pyrimidin-4-one derivatives. It was found that the A and C rings attached to the pyrirnidinone ring in solutions of unsubstituted tetrahydropyrido[1,2-a]pyrimidin-4-ones are flexible, whereas in the 6-methyl derivatives the conformer containing the 6-methyl group in axial position predominates.     

Synthesis and rearrangement of cycloalkyl[1,2-e]oxazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidin-8/9-ones: an access to cycloalkyl[1,2-d]oxazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidin-5-ones

2-Substituted-4a-hydroxy-9H-cycloalkyl[1,2-e]oxazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidin-9-ones 2a-c were synthesized by an one-step cyclocondensation from the 5-substituted-2-amino-2-oxazolines 1a-c with ethyl 2-oxocyclohexanecarboxylate in ethanol at room temperature, and easily dehydrated to provide 2-substituted-9H-cycloalkyl[1,2-e]oxazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidin-9-ones 3. In refluxing xylene, the reaction conducted with various ethyl 2-oxocycloalkanecarboxylates led to the two isomeric 2-substituted-8/9H-cycloalkyl[1,2-e]oxazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidin-8/9-ones 3 and 2-substituted-5H-cycloalkyl[1,2-d]oxazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidin-5-ones 4. The structure of some compounds was unambiguously established using X-ray crystallography. According to results from the DSC analysis of compound 2a, formation of the thermodynamically stable pyrimidinones 4 could be related to an intramolecular rearrangement of kinetically controlled pyrimidinones 3.     

Synthesis of 6-amino-2-aryl-1,2-dihydro-3H-pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4-one derivatives

This paper reports the synthesis of new pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4-one derivatives as diuretic agents. Starting with 1,2-dihydro-5-nitro-2-oxo-3-pyridinecarboxylic acid 1 , ethyl 2-ethoxy-5-nitro-3-pyridincarboxylate 4 was obtained. Compound 4 reacts with ammonia, methylamine or S-methylpseudothiourea to give the respective 2-amino-5-nitro-3-pyridinecarboxamide derivatives 5 and 6 or 2-methylthio-6-nitro-3H-pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4-one 8. Treating carboxamide 5 with arylaldehydes and zinc dichloride, new 2-aryl-1,2-dihydro-6-nitro-3H-pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4-ones 9 were synthetised. These compounds reduced with iron(II) hydroxide gave 6-amino-2-aryl-1,2-dihydro-3H-pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4-ones 10 as expected.     

Nitrogen bridgehead compounds. Part 65. Vilsmeier-haack formylation of 4H-pyrido[1,2-a]pyrimidin-4-ones. Part 6

2-Substituted 3-formyl-4H-pyrido[1,2-a]pyrimidin-4-ones can be synthethized by Vilsmeier-Haack formylation with the dimethylformamide-phosphoryl chloride complex only from those 4H-pyrido[1,2-a]pyrimidin-4-ones which contain a substituent with electron-releasing resonance effect in position 2. The products were characterized by uv, ir and ¹H nmr spectroscopy.     

Synthesis of pyrido[1,2-a]pyrimido[4,5-d]pyrimidin-5-ones. Cyclization reaction of 4-[(3-hydroxy-2-pyridyl)amino]-2-phenyl-5-pyrimidinecarboxylic acid with acetic anhydride

Treatment of 4-[(3-hydroxy-2-pyridyl)amino]-2-phenyl-5-pyrimidinecarboxylic acid (X) with acetic anhydride under refluxing conditions afforded 10-hydroxy-2-phenyl-5H-pyrido[1,2-a]-pyrimido[4,5-d]pyrimidin-5-one acetate (IX). The intermediate X was prepared from 4-chloro-2-phenyl-5-pyrimidinecarboxylic acid ethyl ester (V). The reaction of V with the sodium salt of 2-amino-3-hydroxypyridine at room temperature gave 4-(2-amino-3-pyridyloxy)-2-phenyl-5-pyrimidinecarboxylic acid ethyl ester (VI). Treatment of VI with a hot aqueous sodium hydroxide solution and subsequent acidification gave X. Involvement of 4-[(3-hydroxy-2-pyridyl)amino]-2-phenyl-5-pyrimidinecaroboxylic acid ethyl ester (VIII) (Smiles rearrangement product) as an intermediate in the above alkaline hydrolysis reaction of VI to X was demonstrated by the isolation of VIII and its subsequent conversion into X under alkaline hydrolysis conditions. Acetylation of VIII with acetic anhydride in pyridine solution gave 4-[(3-hydroxy-2-pyridyl)amino]-2-phenyl-5-pyrimidinecarboxylic acid ethyl ester acetate (XI), which afforded IX on fusion at 220°. This alternative synthesis of IX from XI supported the structural assignment of IX. Fusion of VI gave 10-hydroxy-2-phenyl-5H-pyrido[1,2-a]pyrimido]4,5-d]pyrimidin-5-one (VII). The latter was also obtained when VIII was fused at 210°. Acetylation of VII with acetic anhydride afforded IX.     

Synthesis of some new imidazo[1,2-a]pyrimidin-5(1H)-ones as potential antineoplastic agents

Some substituted imidazo[1,2-a]pyrimidin-5(1H)-ones have been synthesized via the reaction of 2-aminoimidazole sulfate with some β-keto esters, diethyl ethoxymethylenemalonate and ethyl ethoxymethylenecyanoacetate. Several compounds were screened for their in vitro antineoplastic and anti-HIV activity but were inactive.     

Synthesis of 2,3-dihydroimidazo[1,2-a]pyrimidin-5(1H)-ones by the domino Michael addition retro-ene reaction of 2-alkoxyiminoimidazolidines and acetylene carboxylates

2-Alkoxyiminoimidazolidines 2-3 react with acetylene dicarboxylates and ethyl phenylpropiolate to give 8-alkoxy-imidazo[1,2-a]pyrimidin-5(3H)-ones C, which subsequently undergo a sterically induced multihetero-retro-ene fragmentation to give imidazo[1,2-a]pyrimidin-5(1H)-ones 4-7 together with formaldehyde or benzaldehyde. On the other hand, a similar reaction of 2-3 with ethyl propiolate gives corresponding 8-alkoxy-imidazo[1,2-a]pyrimidin-5(3H)-ones 8-10. The unsubstituted imidazo[1,2-a]pyrimidin-5(1H)-one 11 can be prepared by retro-ene reaction of 9 upon prolonged heating in refluxing ethanol. A direct synthetic approach to 1-formyl-7-phenyl-imidazo[1,2-a]pyrimidine-5(1H)-one 14 is reported using DMF/sulfonyl chloride as a new Vilsmeier-type N-formylating reagent.     

Synthesis and nuclear magnetic resonance spectra of 2H-pyrido [1,2-a] pyrimidin-2-ones

Reaction of ethyl phenylpropiolate with several 2-aminopyridines afforded the corresponding 2H-pyrido[1,2-a] pyrimidin-2-ones in good yields. Analysis of the nmr spectra of these compounds and their hydrobromides were based on comparing their spectra with their 3-deuterated analogues. It was found that in these 2-oxo compounds, the proton at position-7 is shielded and absorbs together with the olefinie proton at position-3 in the region of 5 6.35-6.70 ppm. The latter proton could be used for differentiating these compounds from the corresponding 4-oxo isomers which have already been identified by the deshielded proton at pusition-6 near § 9.0 ppm. The ir and nmr spectral data for all these compounds are tabulated and discussed.     

Synthesis of 7-substituted imidazo[1,2-a]pyrimidin-5(1H)-ones

The synthesis of 7-substituted imidazo[1,2-a]pyrimidin-5(1H)-ones by either of 2 methods is reported.     

Catalyst- and Oxidant-Free Electrochemical Regioselective Halogenation and Trifluoromethylation of 4H-Pyrido[1,2-a]pyrimidin-4-ones

The catalyst-free electrochemical halogenation and trifluoromethylation of 4H-pyrido[1,2-a]pyrimidin-4-ones was realized under external-oxidant-free conditions. This strategy provides an easy and green access to functionalized new 4H-pyrido[1,2-a]pyrimidin-4-one derivatives with broad scope, good functional group tolerance and high regioselectivity.     

Nitrogen bridgehead compounds. Part 51 Autoxidation of 9-aminotetrahydro-4H-pyrido[1,2-a]pyrimidin-4-ones. Synthesis and stereochemistry of 9-amino- and 9-hydroxy-6,7-dihydro-4H-pyrido[1,2-a]-pyrimidin-4-ones

In solution the 9-phenylaminotetrahydro-4H-pyrido[1,2-a]pyrimidin-4-ones 1-5 were oxidized into the 9-aminodihydro compounds 15-19 by atmospheric oxygen at ambient temperature. Autoxidation is most probably a free-radical chain process, which takes place with ground-state triplet oxygen via the radical cation of the enamine form. The 9-aminodihydro derivatives were also prepared from 9,9-dibromo compounds 10 and 11 and from 9-hydroxydihydro compounds 12-14 . The 9-hydroxydihydro derivatives, obtained from the 9-amino compounds 16, 19 and 21 by acidic hydrolysis, showed a solvent-dependent and R¹ substituent-dependent oxo-enol tautomerism. The enol form was stabilized by electron-withdrawing R¹ groups and a polar solvent. However, for the 9-aminodihydropyrido[1,2-a]pyrimidines 15-26 only the enamine tautomer (E) could be identified independently of the substituent and the solvent. The chemical structures of the synthesized products were studied by uv, ir, ¹H- and ¹³C-nmr spectroscopy.     

Microwave assisted synthesis of 2,3-dihydro-4H-benzo[4,5]thiazolo[3,2-a]furo[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4-ones and 6,7-dihydro-5H-furo[2,3-d]thiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidin-5-ones using Mn(OAc)3

2-Hydroxy-4H-benzo[4,5]thiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidin-4-one 2a and 7-hydroxy-5H-thiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidin-5-one 2b, were obtained in high yields under mild conditions from the cyclization reactions of bis-(2,4,6-trichlorophenyl) malonate and 2-aminobenzothiazole or 2-aminothiazole, respectively. A new class of compounds, 2,3-dihydro-4H-benzo[4,5]thiazolo[3,2-a]furo[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4-ones and 6,7-dihydro-5H-furo[2,3-d]thiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidin-5-ones, were synthesized via the microwave assisted radical addition of compounds 2a and 2b to various alkenes using manganese(III) acetate. A preliminary acetylcholine esterase (AchE) inhibition test of compound 4e showed excellent (92%) inhibitory potential, comparable with the standard drug Donapezil®.     

Synthesis of pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4-one derivatives

This paper describes one-pot synthesis of 5H-[1,3]thiazolo[3,2-a]pyrido[3,2-e]pyrimidin-5-one 4 , 5H-dipyri-do[1,2-a:3′,2′-e]pyrimidin-5-one 10 and 5H-pyrido[3,2-e]pyrimido[1,2-a]pyrimidin-5-one 15 and some of their derivatives, starting with 2-chloro-3-pyridine carboxilic acid 1. Compounds 4 and 10 reacted with phosphorus pentasulfide to give the respective 5-thione analogues, 5 from 4 and 11 from 10 . Boiling the 5-thione derivatives with hydrazine hydrate, the respective 5-hydrazono derivatives 6 from 5 and 12 from 11 were obtained. The 5-acetyl hydrazono, 7 , and the 5-isopropylidenehydrazono, 8 , derivatives were also prepared from 6 , and the 5-propionylhydrazono derivatives, 13 , from 12 . Compound 4 reacted with hydrazine to give an adduct with two molecules of hydrazine and the probable structure 16 . Treating this adduct with acetone a monohydrazone 17 was obtained. Boiling a suspension of this adduct in DMF, it gave 6,10-dihydro-6H-pyrido[3′,2′:5,6]pyrimido[2,1-c][1,2,4]triazin-5-one 20 .     

Synthesis of 2,3-Dihydrothiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidin-5-ones by a Michael-type Tandem Reaction

Summary. Although various thiazoles are known in literature for their biological and pharmacological properties only a few multi-step synthesis pathways for the preparation of thiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidinones have been reported, which are tedious and time-consuming. An alternative synthesis pathway is described, which allows the preparation of 2,3-dihydrothiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidin-5-ones in a one-step process based on a Michael-type tandem reaction. By heating of 2-thiobarbituric acid with ethyl 4-bromocrotonate in ethanol at 60°C for 2 h, a 2,3-dihydrothiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidin-5-one was obtained in 73% yield, whereas carrying out the reaction at room temperature results in the formation of an unstable unsaturated ester. The structures of both, the α,β-unsaturated ester as well as the 2,3-dihydrothiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidin-5-one were confirmed by NMR spectroscopy. Additionally, the structure of the 2,3-dihydrothiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidin-5-one was investigated by single-crystal X-ray analysis. The described approach offers a significant improvement over previously reported synthesis pathways because it allows the simple preparation of 2,3-dihydrothiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidin-5-ones with good yields in a one-step reaction.     

Expeditious synthesis of 5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-imidazo[1,2-a]pyrimidin-2-ones and 3,4,6,7,8,9-hexahydro-pyrimido[1,2-a]pyrimidin-2-ones

A convenient synthesis of new 5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-imidazo[1,2-a]pyrimidin-2-ones and 3,4,6,7,8,9-hexahydro-pyrimido[1,2-a]pyrimidin-2-ones from the Baylis-Hillman adducts of acrylonitrile and their derivatives is described. A common strategy employed to achieve the syntheses of title compounds involved generation of diamines from different Baylis-Hillman derivatives followed by treatment with cyanogen bromide at reflux temperature to trigger a double intramolecular cyclization.     

A facile one-pot synthesis of 6,7,8,9-tetrahydrobenzo[4,5]thieno[2,3-d]-1,2,4-triazolo[4,5-a]pyrimidin-5-ones

Abstract  

The reaction of 2-mercapto-6,7,8,9-tetrahydro-3H-benzo[4,5]thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4-one or its 2-methylthio derivative with hydrazonoyl halides, in the presence of triethylamine, yielded 6,7,8,9-tetrahydrobenzo[4,5]thieno[2,3-d]-1,2,4-triazolo[4,5-a]pyrimidin-5-ones. The structure of the latter compounds was further confirmed by reaction of 2-mercapto-6,7,8,9-tetrahydro-3H-benzo[4,5]thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4-one with the appropriate active chloromethylenes followed by coupling of the products with benzenediazonium chloride to afford the non-isolable azo-coupling products which converted, in situ, to 6,7,8,9-tetrahydrobenzo[4,5]thieno[2,3-d]-1,2,4-triazolo[4,5-a]pyrimidin-5-ones. The reaction mechanism was proposed and the products were screened for their biological activity. Some of the newly synthesized compounds had a moderate effect against some bacterial and fungal species.     

Methyl and Phenylmethyl 2-Acetyl-3-{[2-(dimethylamino)-1-(methoxycarbonyl)ethenyl]amino}prop-2-enoate in the Synthesis of heterocyclic systems: Preparation of 3-amino-4H-pyrido-[1,2-a]pyrimidin-4-ones

Methyl 2-acetyl-3-{[2-(dimethylamino)-1-(methoxycarbonyl)ethenyl]amino}prop-2-enoate ( 4 ) and phenyl-methyl 2-acetyl-3-{[2-(dimethylamino)-1(methoxycarbonyl)ethenyl]amino}prop-2-enoate ( 5 ) were prepared in three steps from the corresponding acetoacetic esters, and used as reagents for the preparation of N³-protected 3-amino-4H-pyrido[1,2-a]pyrimidin-4-ones 10 – 12 , 5H-thiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidin-5-one 13 , 4H-pyrido[1,2-a]-pyridin-4-one 19 and 2H-1-benzopyran-2-ones 20 – 23 . Free 3-amino-4H-pyrido[1,2-a]pyrimidin-4-ones 24 – 26 were prepared from 10 – 12 by removal of the 2-(methoxycarbonyl)-3-oxobut-1-enyl or 3-oxo-2-[(phenyl-methoxy)carbonyl]but-1-envl as N-protecting group by various methods.     

Cyclic guanidines: Synthesis of 4,6,7,8-tetrahydro-1H-imidazo[1,2-a]pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-7-ones and 1,4,6,7,8,9-hexahydropyrazolo[3′,4′:4,5]pyrimido[2,1-c] [1,2,4]triazin-7-ones
