This Letter describes for the first time the synthesis of pyrido[2′,3′:4,5]furo[3,2-d]pyrimidines substituted by a primary or secondary amino group on position 4 of the pyrimidine ring. Application of microwave irradiation technology allowed fast and convenient procedures.     

Microwave-assisted synthesis of 2-aminothiophene-3-carboxylic acid derivatives, 3H-thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4-one and 4-chlorothieno[2,3-d]pyrimidine

A two-minute microwave irradiation allowed the synthesis of several 2-aminothiophene-3-carboxylic acid derivatives. Their efficient transformation to thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4-one and the corresponding 4-chloro derivative is also reported under microwave irradiation.     

Synthesis of thieno[3,4-d]-1,3-dithiol-2-one derivatives

A series of mono-substituted and bis-substituted derivatives of thieno [3,4-d]-1,3-dithiol-2-one were prepared through halogenation, chloromethylation, and subsequent nucleophilic substitution reactions. Compounds were characterized by NMR, FT-IR, and HRMS.     

Synthesis of substituted [1,3]thiazolo[4,5-b]pyridines and [1,3]thiazolo[4,5-d][1,2,3]triazines

In this work, we described an easy preparation of substituted 4-amino-5-cyano-1,3-thiazoles. These compounds have been used as starting materials to obtain two classes of compounds. New substituted [1,3]thiazolo[4,5-e]pyridines were synthesized in one step via Friedländer reaction. Diazotation of 4-amino-5-cyano-1,3-thiazoles afforded 4-chloro[1,3]thiazolo[4,5-d][1,2,3]triazines in one step. The later was substituted by a secondary amine to obtain substituted 4-amino[1,3]thiazolo[4,5-d][1,2,3]triazines.     

Synthesis of novel 2-aminothieno[3,2-d]thiazoles and selenolo[3,2-d]thiazoles

In this work, we described the synthesis of 3-isothiocyanatoselenophenes starting from 3-aminoselenophenes (using thiophosgene). Those compounds were then converted to the corresponding thioureas in the presence of ammonium hydroxide. Cyclization in 2-aminoselenolo[3,2-d]thiazoles was achieved using DDQ. 2-Aminothieno[3,2-d]thiazoles were obtained from 3-isothiocyanatothiophenes using the same pathway.     

Synthesis of pyrazolo[3,4-d]-4,5-dihydropyrimidin-6-ones

A small library of hitherto unprepared pyrazolo[3,4-d]-4,5-dihydropyrimidin-6-ones was synthesized on a preparative scale. The synthesis starts with a substituted 5-aminopyrazole that reacts with an isocyanate to give the corresponding urea. The latter undergoes a chlorotrimethylsilane-promoted [5+1] cyclocondensation with an aldehyde yielding the title pyrazolo[3,4-d]-4,5-dihydropyrimidin-6-one. Both synthetic steps are high-yielding (74–94%). The intermediates and the target compounds were isolated by simple crystallization. Ketones with the exception of isatin do not react with the open-chain urea intermediates.     

Studies on uracils: a facile one-pot synthesis of oxazino[4,5-d]-, pyrano[2,3-d]-, pyrido[2,3-d]- and pyrimido[4,5-d]pyrimidines using microwave irradiation in the solid state

Synthesis and regioselective N- and O-alkylation of 3-alkyl-5-phenyl-3H-[1,2,3]triazolo[4,5-d]pyrimidin-7(6H)-ones and 2-phenyl-9-propyl-9H-purin-6(1H)-one with evaluation of antiviral and antitumor activities

3-Alkyl-5-phenyl-3H-[1,2,3]triazolo[4,5-d]pyrimidin-7(6H)-ones were prepared by nitrosative cyclization of the appropriate 5,6-diamino-2-phenylpyrimidin-4(3H)-ones with nitrous acid and were subjected to regioselective alkylation with several alkylating agents in aprotic solvent at different temperature. Simultaneous 6-N- and 7-O-alkylation were observed and the regioselectivity varied remarkably with size and shape of the alkylating agents as well as with the reaction temperature. Similarly, N- and O-alkylation as well as selectivity was also observed in the case of 2-phenyl-9-propyl-9H-purin-6(1H)-one. Some of the synthesized compounds showed moderate antiviral and antitumor activities.

The described synthetic sequence allows for the construction of a diverse pyrido[4,3-d]pyrimidine library with structural variations at positions 5 and 7.
