[DBU‐H]+ and H2o as effective catalyst form for 2,3‐dihydropyrido[2,3‐d]pyrimidin‐4(1H)‐ones: A DFT Study

DFT investigations are carried out to explore the effective catalyst forms of DBU and H₂O and the mechanism for the formation of 2,3‐dihydropyrido[2,3‐d]‐pyrimidin‐4(1H)‐ones. Three main pathways are disclosed under unassisted, water‐catalyzed, DBU and water cocatalyzed conditions, which involves concerted nucleophilic addition and H‐transfer, concerted intramolecular cyclization and H‐transfer, and Dimroth rearrangement to form the product. The results indicated that the DBU and water cocatalyzed pathway is the most favored one as compared to the rest two pathways. The water donates one H to DBU and accepts H from 2‐amino‐nicotinonitrile ( 1 ), forming [DBU‐H]⁺‐H₂O as effective catalyst form in the proton migration transition state rather than [DBU‐H]⁺‐OH^?. The hydrogen bond between [DBU‐H]⁺···H₂O··· 1 ^? decreases the activation barrier of the rate‐determining step. Our calculated results open a new insight for the green catalyst model of DBU‐H₂O. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

1,3‐Di(thiophen‐2‐yl)prop‐2‐en‐1‐one ( 1 ) was utilized in the synthesis of 4,6‐di(thiophen‐2‐yl)‐3,4‐dihydropyrimidine‐2(1H)‐thione ( 2 ) and 5,7‐di(thiophen‐2‐yl)‐2‐thioxo‐2,3‐dihydropyrido[2,3‐d]pyrimidin‐4(1H)‐one ( 4 ). The latter thiones were used in the synthesis of two new series of [1,2,4]triazolo[4,3‐a]pyrimidines 10a – i and pyrido[2,3‐d][1,2,4]triazolo[4,3‐a]pyrimidinones 5a – i via reaction with the appropriate hydrazonoyl halides using triethylamine as a basic catalyst in dioxane. The mechanism of formation of the synthesized compounds was discussed, and the assigned structure was established via microanalysis, spectral data (infrared, ¹H NMR, and Mass), and density functional calculations. Moreover, the newly synthesized products were evaluated for their antimicrobial activities, and the results show that some derivatives have been well with mild activities. Finally, quantum chemistry calculations confirmed the mechanism and structure of the products.

A synthesis of novel bis(s‐triazolo[3,4‐b][1,3,4]thiadiazines) 4 , 5 , 6 in which the triazolothiadiazine is linked to the benzene core through the thiadiazine ring via phenoxymethyl spacers was reported. First attempt to synthesize 4 , 5 , 6 by the reaction of the appropriate bis(acetophenones) with 4‐amino‐3‐mercapto‐1,2,4‐triazole derivatives using an acidified acetic acid method were unsuccessful.
