Synthesis of 5H-[1,3]thiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidin-5-one derivatives

The reaction of 2-aminothiazoles with ethyl acetoacetate in acetic or polyphosphoric acid gave a series of 5H-[1,3]thiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidin-5-one derivatives which were nitrated with a mixture of nitric and sulfuric acid to 6-nitro-5H-[1,3]thiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidin-5-ones, and the latter were reduced to the corresponding amines.     

Syntheses of 5H-benzoxazolo[3,2-a] quinolin-5-ones

Treatment of N-(2-hydroxyphenyl)anthranilic acid with acetic anhydride, under refluxing conditions provided a simple method for the synthesis of 5H-henzoxazolo[3,2-a] quinolin-5-one (IVa), a heretofore unreported ring system. When propionic anhydride was used in the above reaction, 6-methyl-5H-benzoxazolo[3,2-a]quinolin-5-one (Va) was obtained. Other examples prepared in this fashion were IVb, IVc and Vb. Treatment of IVa with methoxyethylamine afforded 1,2-dihydro-1-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-2-(methoxyethylimino)-4-quinolinol (VII). A possible mechanism for the cyclization reaction is discussed.
