Fused pyrimidine systems: XIII. Synthesis and some transformations of 1,3-thiazolo(thiazino)-fused pyrido[3,4-d]pyrimidines

2-[Allyl(propargyl)sulfanyl]pyrido[3,4-d]pyrimidin-4-ones at heating in polyphosphoric acid undergo an intramolecular cyclization with the formation of pyrido[4,3-e]thiazolo-[3,2-a]pyrimidin-5-ones of angular structure.
