Ring closure reactions of pyrido[2,3‐d]pyrimidines to pyrano[2′,3′:4,5]‐ and oxazolo[5′,4′:4,5]pyrido[2,3‐d]pyrimidines

The cyclocondensation of 5‐hydroxy‐pyrido[2,3‐d]pyrimidines 1 with malonates gives pyrano[2′,3′:4,5]‐pyrido[2,3‐d]pyrimidines 2 . Nitration of 1 and reduction with zinc in the presence of carboxylic acids/anhydrides gave 2‐alkyloxazolo[5′,4′:4,5]pyrido[2,3‐d]pyrimidines 4 , which were ring‐opened to 6‐aminopyrido[2,3‐d]pyrimidines 5, 6 and 7 . Cyclization of 6‐aminopyrido[2,3‐d]pyrimidines 6 with benzoylchlorides 8 gave 2‐aryloxazolo[5′,4′:4,5]pyrido[2,3‐d]pyrimidines 9 . Reaction conditions for the cyclization have been studied by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC).     

Synthesis and stereochemistry of 3‐acetyl‐5‐aminospiro[1,3,4‐thiadiazoline‐2,4′‐thioflavans]

Under acetylating conditions racemic thioflavanone thiosemicarbazones cyclize into racemic 3‐acetyl‐spiro[1,3,4‐thiadiazoline‐2,4′‐thioflavans] and a racemic 3‐acetylspiro[1,3,4‐oxadiazoline‐2,4′‐thioflavan] with trans O(1) or S(1) and Ph(2′_eq). Hindered rotation of the endocyclic N(3) acetyl group spirothia‐diazolines caused the formation of isomers separable by HPLC. X‐ray diffraction analyses, ¹H‐, ¹³C‐, and ¹⁵N NMR measurements as well as MOPAC QM calculations were performed to reveal the structures of these isomers.
