The reaction between p-(dimethylamino)benzaldehyde and 2-acylmethyl-1H-benzimidazoles and 6-amino-1,3-dimethylpyrimidino-2,4(1H,3H)-dione has given previously unknown 5-unsubstituted 6-(1H-benzimidazol-2-yl)pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidino-2,4(1H,3H)-diones. The reaction occurs on boiling in acetic and acid and includes the formation of 1,4-dihydropyridine-bearing compounds in accordance with the Hantzsch reaction scheme and aromatization as a result of cleavage of N,N-dimethylaniline. __________ Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 4, pp. 585–589, April 2007.     

<Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis>-(Dimethylamino)benzaldehyde modification of the Hantzsch reaction: Synthesis of 3-(1H-benzimidazol-2-yl)-5,7-dimethoxyquinolines

A three component cyclocondensation of p-(dimethylamino)benzaldehyde with 3,5-dimethoxyaniline and 2-phenacyl-1H-benzimidazoles gives previously unknown 2-aryl-3-(1H-benzimidazol-2-yl)-5,7-dimethoxyquinolines. The Hanztsch type reaction occurs in refluxing acetic acid and is accompanied by aromatization of the 1,4-dihydroquinolines formed through loss of N,N-dimethylaniline. __________ Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 12, pp. 1792–1798, December, 2007.

2-(Adamantan-1-yl)imidazo[1,2-<Emphasis Type="Italic">a</Emphasis>]pyridines and Their Derivatives

A series of 1-adamantylimidazo[1,2-a]pyridines has been synthesized. The negative influence of electron-acceptor substituents in the pyridine ring on the alkylation of substituted 2-aminopyridines with bromomethyl (adamantan-1-yl) ketone has been demonstrated. Bromination of adamantylimidazo-[1,2-a]pyridines on boiling in liquid bromine or in the presence of a Lewis acid resulted in insertion of a bromine atom in the imidazole ring without affecting the adamantane nucleus. The compounds studied take part in the Ritter reaction despite the absence of an easily removed groups in the adamantane nucleus.__________Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 5, 761–766, May, 2005.

Crystal and molecular structure of new tetrahydrobenzo[<Emphasis Type="Italic">e</Emphasis>]pyrano[4,3-<Emphasis Type="Italic">b</Emphasis>]pyridines

Three tetrahydrobenzo[e]pyrano[4,3-b]pyridines formed in a diethyl 2,4,6-trioxoheptanedicarboxylic ether-substituted salicylic aldehyde-ammonium acetate system were studied by single crystal X-ray diffraction. After the introduction of a methoxy group in the tricyclic system, the tetrahydropyridine and pyrane rings adopted the half-chair conformation, while in the unsubstituted compound, the tetrahydropyridine ring has a distorted boat conformation, and the pyrane ring has a C-envelope conformation. In the compounds, the N-H?O and O-H?O intermolecular hydrogen bonds give rise to the development of chain structures. In two of the three compounds examined, the hydrogen atoms at the chiral centers are in the trans-position, as in the structure of natural tetrahydrocannabinols.
