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).     

Polyazasteroids II.. 1,2,4-Triazolol[3′,4′:2,3]pyrimido[4,5-c]quinolin- 11(12H)ones,imidazo[2′,1′:2,3]pyrimido[4,5-c]quinolin-11(12H)ones and 2,3-dihydroimidazo[2′,1′:2,3] pyrimido[4,5-c]quinolin-11(12H)ones

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. The intermediate 3-hydrazino-1,2-dihydropyrimido[4,5-c]quinolinones and nitrous acid gave the 3-azido derivatives rather than the tetrazolo compounds.
