Starting with 2-substituted quinoline-3,4-dicarboxylic acids, a series of substituted 1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyrimido[4,5-c]quinolinone-3-thiones were obtained. The latter compounds were converted to the three novel polyazasteroid series: 1,2,4-Triazolo[3′,4′:2,3]pyrimido[4,5-c]-quinolin-11(12H)ones, imidazo[2′,1′:2,3]pyrimido[4,5c]quinolin-11(12H)ones and 2,3-dihydroimidazo[2′,1′:2,3]pyrimido[4,5-c]quinolin-11(12H)ones.

14H-Naphtho[1′,2′:5,6] pyrano[2,3-b]quinoline derivatives

Reaction of (N-alkyl-N-phenyl)ethoxycarbonylacetamides with β-naphthol in the presence of phosphorus oxychloride afforded 1-oxo-3-(N-alkyl-N-phenyl)amino-1H-naphtho[2,1-b]pyrans. These compounds underwent reaction with N,N-dimethylformamide-phosphorus oxychloride at 95° yielding a mixture of 14H-naphtho[1′,2′:5,6]pyrano[2,3-b]quinoline derivatives and 1-oxo-2-formyl-3-(N-alkyl-N-phenyl)amino-9-oxy-1H-phenalene. When the same reaction was performed at 140°, only 14-oxo-14H-naphtho[1′,2′:5,6]pyrano[2,3-b]quinoline was obtained in a very good yield. The structures of such compounds were demonstrated by spectral data and by chemical transformations. On the other hand, the expected formylation in the 2 position was achieved when 1-oxo-3-(N-alkyl-N-benzyl)amino-1H-naphtho[2,1-b]pyrans reacted with N,N-dimethylformamide-phosphorus oxychloride.

A mechanism of reaction, which hypothesizes the action of sodium hydrosulfite in an asymmetic form, is proposed. The results of single-crystal X-ray investigation on 7,8-dihydro-6H,10H-[1,2,5]thiadiazolo[3′,4′:4,5]pyrimido[2,1-b][1,3]thiazin-10-one (R = 0.032 for 863 reflections) and (8-amino-3,4-dihydro-2H,6H-pyrimido[2,1-b]- [1,3]thiazin-6-on-7-yl)sulfamic acid, sodium salt (R = 0.028 for 3507 reflections) are reported.

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

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.

Treatment of easily prepared l-substituted-4-benzylidene-2,3-dioxopyrrolidines with ammonium formate produces 1,2,4,6,7,8-hexahydro-2,6-disubstituted-8-aryldipyrrolo [3,4-b:3′,4′-e]pyridine-3,5-diones (II), usually in yields of 50 to 60%. Aromatization of the dihydropyridine ring of the hexahydroderivatives II yields corresponding 1,2,6,7-tetrahydro-2,6-disubstituted-8-aryldipyrrolo[3,4-b:3′,4′-e]pyridine-3,5-diones (III). These compounds appear to be the first to incorporate the dipyrrolo[3,4-b:3′,4′-e]pyridine ring system.

3‐Amino‐4‐aryl‐5‐ethoxycarbonyl‐6‐methylthieno[2,3‐b]pyridine‐2‐carboxamides 3a‐c were prepared from ethyl 4‐aryl‐3‐cyano‐6‐methyl‐2‐thioxo‐1,2‐dihydropyridine‐5‐carbonylates 1a‐c and reacted with some carbonyl compounds to give tetrahydropyridothienopyrimidine derivatives 6a‐c, 7a‐c and 8a‐c , respectively.

Also, 3‐amino‐2‐benzimidazolylthieno[2,3‐b]pyridine‐5‐carboxylate 5 and 2‐(3′‐aminothieno [2,3‐b]pyridin‐2′‐yl)‐4‐oxo‐3,4‐dihydropyrido[3′,2′:4,5]thieno[3,2‐d]pyrimidine‐8‐carboxylate 17 were prepared from 1c. The compounds 5, 9 and 17 were used as good synthons for other pyridothienopyrimidines and pyridothienopyrimidobenzimidazoles as well as for related fused polyheterocyclic systems.
