Studies on Pyrimidines: Synthesis of Pyrimidine-Annelated Heterocycles from 5-Amino-6-cyclohex-2-enyl-1, 3-dimethyl-uracil

Summary.  Treatment of 5-amino-6-cyclohex-2-enyl-1, 3-dimethyl-uracil with pyridinium hydrotribromide or hexamethylenetetrammonium hydrotribromide furnished the corresponding linear heterocyclic 6-bromo-1, 3-dimethylhexahydroindolo[3,2-d]pyrimidine-2, 4-diones in 90% yield.

The reaction of 1,3-dimethyl-6-(α-methylbenzylidenehydrazino)uracils with dimethylformamide dimethylacetal or triethyl orthoformate gave the corresponding 5,7-dimethyl-2-vinylpyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine-4,6(5H,7H)diones, respectively. Similarly, treatment of 1,3-dimethyl-6-(α-methylbenzylidenehydrazino)uraeils with triethyl orthopropionate yielded the corresponding 5,7-dimethyl-3-ethyl-2-vinylpyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine-4,6(5H,7H)diones.     

A new synthesis of pyrimido[5,4-e]-as-triazine 4-oxides and their ring transformation to pyrrolo[3,2-d]pyrimidines

A new synthesis of certain pyrimido[5,4-e]-as-triazine 4-oxides and their ring transformation to pyrrolo-[3,2-d]pyrimidines by the 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction is described. Thus, reaction of 6-hydrazino-1,3-dimethyluracil ( 1 ) with triethyl orthoformate gave 6-ethoxymethylenehydrazino-1,3-dimethyluracil ( 2 ). Treatment of 2 with arylamines gave 6-arylaminomethylenehydrazino-1,3-dimethyluracils ( 3a-e ). Nitrosative cyclization of 3a-e with sodium nitrite afforded 3-arylaminofervenulin 4-oxides ( 6a-e ). Reaction of 6a-e with acetylenic esters yielded 7-alkoxycarbonyl-6-arylamino-1,3-dimethylpyrrolo[3,2-d]pyrimidine-2,4(1H,3H-diones ( 15a-e and 16 ).

Synthesis of 4,6-disubstituted-7-β-D-ribofuranosyl- and arabinofuranosylpyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidines and certain related ribonucleosides

Several disubstituted pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine, pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine and thiazolo[4,5-d]pyrimidine ribonucleosides have been prepared as congeners of uridine and cytidine. Glycosylation of the trimethylsilyl (TMS) derivative of pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine-4,6(1H,5H,7H)-dione ( 4 ) with 1-O-acetyl-2,3,5-tri-O-benzoyl-D-ribofuranose ( 5 ) in the presence of TMS triflate afforded 7-(2,3,5-tri-O-benzoyl-β-D-ribofuranosyl)pyrazolo-[3,4-d]pyrimidine-4,6(1H,5H)-dione ( 6 ). Debenzoylation of 6 gave the uridine analog 7-β-D-ribofuranosylpyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine-4,6(1H,5H)-dione ( 3 ), identical with 7-ribofuranosyloxoallopurinol reported earlier. Thiation of 6 gave 7 , which on debenzoylation afforded 7-β-D-ribofuranosyl-6-oxopyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine-4(1H,5H)-thione ( 8 ). Ammonolysis of 7 at elevated temperature gave a low yield of the cytidine analog 4-amino-7-β-D-ribofuranosylpyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-6(1H)-one ( 11 ). Chlorination of 6 , followed by ammonolysis, furnished an alternate route to 11 . A similar glycosylation of TMS-4 with 2,3,5-tri-O-benzyl-α-D-arabinofuranosyl chloride ( 12 ) gave mainly the N7-glycosylated product 13 , which on debenzylation provided 7-β-D-arabinofuranosylpyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine-4,6(1H,5H)-dione ( 14 ). 4-Amino-7-β-D-arabinofuranosyl-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-6(1H)-one ( 19 ) was prepared from 13 via the C4-pyridinium chloride intermediate 17 . Condensation of the TMS derivatives of 7-hydroxy- ( 20 ) or 7-aminopyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidin-5(4H)-one ( 23 ) with 5 in the presence of TMS triflate gave the corresponding blocked nucleosides 21 and 24 , respectively, which on deprotection afforded 7-hydroxy- 22 and 7-amino-4-β-D-ribofuranosylpyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidin-5-one ( 25 ), respectively. Similarly, starting either from 2-chloro ( 26 ) or 2-aminothiazolo[4,5-d]pyrimidine-5,7-(4H,6H)-dione ( 29 ), 2-amino-4-β-D-ribofuranosylthiazolo[4,5-d]pyrimidine-5,7(6H)-dione ( 28 ) has been prepared. The structure of 25 was confirmed by single crystal X-ray diffraction studies.     

Murexide reaction of caffeine with hydrogen peroxide and hydrochloric acid. II

In continuation of the study on the murexide reaction of caffeine with 3% hydrogen peroxide/hydrochloric acid and then with ammonia giving a purple coloration, we investigated the oxidation reaction of caffeine with 6% hydrogen peroxide/hydrochloric acid to isolate ten reaction products, 3-hydroxy-4,6-dimethyloxazolo[4,5-d]pyrimidine-2,5,7(3H,4H,6H)-trione 1 , 1,3-dimethylalloxan 2 , murexoin 3 , 1,3,7-trimethyl-2,6,8-trioxo-9-hydroxy-1H,3H,7H-xanthine 5 , 1,3,7-trimethyl-2,6,8-trioxo-1H,3H,7H-xanthine 6 , 1,3,7-trimethyl-2,6-dioxo-8-chloro-1H,3H,7H-xanthine 7, 5-(1,3-dimethyl-1,2,3,4,5,6-hexahydro-2,4,6-trioxopyrimidin-5-yl)-aminomethylene-1,3-dimethyl-1,2,3,4,5,6-hexahydro-2,4,6-trioxopyrimidine ammonium salt 9 , 1,3-dimethylpalabanic acid 10 , 1-methyl-2,4,5-trioxoimidazole 11 , 3-hydroxy-5,7-dimethyloxazolo[5,4-d]pyrimidine-2,4,6(3H,5H,7H)-trione 12 and 4,6,8-trimethyl-1,2,4-dioxazino[6,5-d]pyrimidine-3,5,7(4H,6H,8H)-trione 13 . The oxidation reaction using 6% hydrogen peroxide/hydrochloric acid was found to produce a similar purple coloration to that of the murexide reaction despite no subsequent addition of ammonia, indicating the liberation of ammonia by the oxidation of caffeine. Among the above compounds, the purple colored substance murexoin 3 and the yellow colored compound 9 were both ammonium salts, and compound 5 was the red colored substance. In the present investigation, these three compounds were found to contribute to the coloration.     

A one-step preparation of pyrido[3,4-d]pyrimidine ring system by reaction of 5-formyl-1,3,6-trimethyl-pyrimidine-2,4(1H,3H)-dione with primary amines

6,7-Dihydropyrido[3,4-d]pyrimidine-2,4(1H,3H)-diones were obtained in high yields from the reaction of 5-formyl-1,3,6-trimethylpyrimidine-2,4(1H,3H)-dione ( 1 ) and primary amines. For this pyridopyrimidine synthesis the following reaction pathway is proposed; the [1,5]-hydrogen shift of 1 gives a 5,6-dihydro-5,6-dimethylenepyrimidine-2,4(1H,3H)-dione intermediate. The cycloaddition reaction of the intermediate with aldimines from 1 and the primary amines affords 5,6,7,8-tetrahydropyrido[3,4-d]pyrimidine-2,4(1H,3H)-diones, which are dehydrated to the final products.

Pyrrolopyrimidines. 5. Reaction of 6-Amino-1,3-dimethylpyrrolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine-2,4(1H,3H)-diones with 1,3-Diketones

The reaction of 6-amino-1,3-dimethylpyrrolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine-2,4-dione with 1,3-diketones leads to formation of predominantly pyrimido[4',5':3,4]pyrrolo[1,2-b]pyridazine-2,4(1H,3H)-diones and, to a lesser extent, pyrimido[5',4':3,4]pyrrolo[1,2-b]pyridazine-1,3(2H,4H)-diones. The ease and direction of the cyclization reaction suggests a very -electron rich pyrrole ring in the initial state, especially in the position 7.     

Acetylenic chemistry: Part 15 [1]. Reactions of 1,2,3,4-Tetrahydro-2,4-dioxopyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidine with 3-bromoprop-1-yne

The reaction of 3-amino-4,6-dimethylthieno[2,3-b]pyridine-2-carbonitrile with ethylenediamine in the presence of a catalytic amount of carbon disulfide afforded 2-(4,5-dihydro-1H-imidazol-2-yl)-4,6-dimethylthieno-[2,3-b]pyridine-3-amine while its reaction with triethyl orthoformate followed by the reaction with hydrazine hydrate gave 4-imino-7,9-dimethylpyrido[3',2':4,5]thieno[3,2-d]pyrimidine-3(4H)-amine. These two derivatives underwent cyclocondensation reactions with commercially available reactants to afford new heterocycles containing the thieno[2,3-b]pyridine moiety. Some of the synthesized derivatives were tested for antimicrobial and antifungal activity.

New synthetic routes to pyrido[3,2-d]pyrimidines starting with 5-amino-1,3,6-trimethyluracil (I) or 1,3,6-trimethyl-5-nitrouracil (X) are described. Thus, condensation of I with arylaldehydes gave 5-arylideneamino-1,3,6-trimethyluracils (IIa-h), which upon heating with dimethylformamide dimethylacetal afforded 6-aryl-1,3-dimethylpyrido[3,2-d]pyrimidine-2,4(1H,3H)-diones (Va-h) via 5-arylideneamino-1,3-dimethyl-6-(2-dimethylaminovinyl)uracils (IIIa-h). On the other hand, reaction of X with phenylacetaldehyde in the presence of base yielded Va and its 5-oxide (XI).
