Electrophilic heterocyclization of 6-alken(yn)ylsulfanyl-pyrazolo[3,4-<Emphasis Type="Italic">d</Emphasis>]pyrimidin-4(5<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>)-ones

6-Allylsulfanyl-1-arylpyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-4(5H)-ones react with iodine and sulfuric acid to give angular pyrazolothiazolopyrimidine derivatives. The reaction of 6-(prop-2-yn-1-ylsulfanyl)-1-(4-tolyl)-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-4(5H)-one with sulfuric acid gives angularly fused pyrazolo[4,3-e][1,3]thiazolo-[3,2-a]pyrimidin-4-one, whereas in the reaction with sodium methoxide linearly fused pyrazolo[3,4-d][1,3]-thiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidin-4-one was formed. Linearly fused pyrazolo[3′,4′:4,5]pyrimido[2,1-b][1,3]thiazole derivatives were also obtained by reaction of 1-aryl-6-(3-phenylprop-2-en-1-ylsulfanyl)pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-4(5H)-ones with sulfuric acid.

It was found that the condensation of two equivalents of 4-hydroxy-6-methyl-2H-pyran-2-one or 4-hydroxycoumarin with arylglyoxals in boiling formic acid leads to 4H-furo[3,2-c]-pyran-4-ones or 4H-furo[3,2-c]chromen-4-ones, respectively.     

Alkylation of 2-(hydroxyimino)-5<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>-[1,3]thiazolo[3,2-<Emphasis Type="Italic">a</Emphasis>]-pyrimidin-3(2<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>)-ones

Alkylation products were obtained from ethyl 2-(hydroxyimino)-7-methyl-3-oxo-5-aryl-2,3- dihydro-5H-[1,3]thiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidin-6-carboxylates at the treatment with alkyl halides, dimethyl sulfate, and diazomethane. Diazomethane alkylated the initial substrate at the oxygen atom of the carbonyl group of the thiazolidine fragment, the other reagents, at the oxygen atom of the hydroxyimino group.     

Regioselective synthesis of polyfluoroalkyl-substituted 7-(1<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>-1,2,3-triazol-1-yl)-6,7-dihydro-1<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>-indazol-4(5<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>)-ones

3-Polyfluoroalkyl-6,6-dimethyl-7-(1H-1,2,3-triazol-1-yl)-6,7-dihydro-1H-indazol-4(5H)-ones were synthesized with high regioselectivity by 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of terminal alkynes (phenylacetylene, hex- 1-yne, hept-1-yne, and but-3-yn-1-ol) to 7-azido-6,6-dimethyl-3-polyfluoroalkyl-6,7-dihydro-1H-indazol-4(5H)-ones which were prepared by bromination of 6,6-dimethyl-3-polyfluoroalkyl-6,7-dihydro-1H-indazol- 4(5H)-ones with N-bromosuccinimide in anhydrous carbon tetrachloride, followed by treatment of the corresponding 7-bromo derivatives with sodium azide.     

Synthesis of 4-hydroxy-5-methyl-2-[2-(4-oxo-4<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>-chromen-3-yl)ethenyl]-6<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>-1,3-oxazin-6-ones and their reaction with hydrazine

4-Hydroxy-6H-1,3-oxazin-6-ones containing a 3-vinylchromone fragment in the 2-position were synthesized. The direction of their reactions with hydrazine hydrate was found to depend on the solvent nature. The reaction in protic solvents (methanol, acetic acid) resulted in recyclization of both oxazine ring to 1,2,4-triazole and pyranone ring to pyrazole. Aprotic acetonitrile favored attack of hydrazine exclusively on the oxazine ring, while the 3-vinylchromone fragment remained intact.     

Substituted 2-(2-Arylethenyl]pyrimidin-4(3<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>)-ones: Synthesis and Structure

5-Substituted 2,6-dimethylpyrimidin-4(3H)-ones were synthesized, and their structure was proved by X-ray analysis. Their reactions with aromatic aldehydes regioselectively afforded (Z)-2-(2-arylethenyl)- pyrimidin-4(3H)-ones whose structure was determined by one- and two-dimensional (NOESY) ¹H NMR and X-ray analysis.     

Reactions of 2-(2-propynylsulfanyl)-5,6,7,8-tetrahydrobenzo[<Emphasis Type="Italic">b</Emphasis>]thieno[2,3-<Emphasis Type="Italic">d</Emphasis>]pyrimidin-4(<Emphasis Type="Italic">3H</Emphasis>)-one with arylsulfenyl chlorides

2-(2-propynylsulfanyl)-5,6,7,8-tetrahydrobenzo[b]thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4(3H)-one with arylsulfenyl chlorides in chloroform gave products of anti-Markownikoff Ad _E-addition. The use of nitromethane as solvent in the presence of lithium perchlorate additives favored intramolecular electrophilic cyclization into 1-arylsulfanyl-1,2,6,7,8,9-hexahydro-4H-benzo[4,5]thieno[3,2-e][1,3]thiazolo[3,2-a]-pyrimidin-5-one.     

Reaction of 2-(alkenylsulfanyl)pyrimidin-4(3<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>)-ones with hydrochloric acid

Hydrochloric acid reacts with 5-ethyl-2-methallylsulfanyl-6-methylpyrimidin-4(3H)-ones to protonate the nitrogen atom; it adds to the double bond of 2-prenylsulfanyl-6-(trifluoromethyl)pyrimidin-4(3H)-one and gives the addition and heterocyclization products in the case of 2-prenylsulfanyl-6-methylpyrimidin-4(3H)-one.     

One-Step Three-Component Synthesis of New 2,5,6,7-Functionalized 5,8-Dihydropyrido-[2,3-<Emphasis Type="Italic">d</Emphasis>]pyrimidin-4(3<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>)-ones

One-step three-component cyclocondensation of 2,6-disubstituted pyrimidin-4(3H)-ones with 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds and some aromatic and heterocyclic aldehydes on heating or under microwave irradiation afforded new functionally substituted 5,8-dihydropyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4(3H)-ones. Conventional heating was found to be more advantageous. The effects of the 2-substituent in the initial pyrimidin-4(3H)-one and the nature of the dicarbonyl component on the product structure and yield were analyzed.     

Synthesis of substituted 3,4-dihydropyrimidin-2(1<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>)-ones and pyrimidin-2(1<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>)-ones by the Biginelli reaction with 3,5-Di-<Emphasis Type="Italic">tert</Emphasis>-butyl-4-hydroxybenzaldehyde

Three-component acid-catalyzed cyclocondensation of 3,5-di-tret-butyl-4-hydroxybenzaldehyde with urea and ethyl acetoacetate or α-nitroacetophenone (Biginelli reaction) under homogeneous conditions gave the corresponding 5-substituted 3,4-dihydropyrimidin-2(1H)-ones having in position 4 of the heteroring an aryl substituent with sterically shielded hydroxy group. The condensation catalyzed by inorganic salts (Fe³⁺, Co²⁺, Zn²⁺, Li⁺) was successful only with ethyl acetoacetate as initial methylene-active component. Under analogous conditions, acetophenone and 4-fluoroacetophenone gave rise to 4,6-diarylpyrimidin-2(1H)-ones which are capable of undergoing phenol-quinonemethide tautomerism.     

Fused Pyrimidine Systems: XVII. Imidazo- and Pyrimidopyrido[3,2-<Emphasis Type="Italic">d</Emphasis>]pyrimidin-4(3<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>)-ones

2-(Allylamino)pyrido[3,2-d]pyrimidin-4(3H)-one was converted to linearly fused dihydroimidazo- [1,2-a]pyrido[3,2-d]pyrimidine on heating in polyphosphoric acid, whereas its reactions with molecular iodine and chlorosulfanylarenes afforded mainly angularly fused analogs. 2-(Cinnamylamino)pyrido[3,2-d]pyrimidin- 4(3H)-one reacted with polyphosphoric acid and chlorosulfanylarenes to give linear pyrido[3,2-d]pyrimido-[1,2-a]pyrimidinones, and its iodocyclization led to the formation of angularly fused derivative.     

Facile synthesis of 2-(substituted amino)-4<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>-thieno[3,2-<Emphasis Type="Italic">e</Emphasis>]-1,3-thiazin-4-ones

Interaction between 2,5-dichlorothiophene-3-carbonyl isothiocyanate, accessible via 2,5-dichlorothiophene-3-carbonyl chloride, and model heterocyclic amines produced the respective 2,5-dichloro-N-(substituted aminocarbonothioyl)thiophene-3-carboxamides. Upon heating, the deprotonated form of the latter underwent intramolecular cyclization to deliver the corresponding 2-(substituted amino)-4H-thieno[3,2-e]-1,3-thiazin-4-ones. The structures of these new bicyclic derivatives and their acyclic precursors are based on microanalytical and spectral (IR, MS, and NMR) data.

Cyclofunctionalization of 6-alkenylsulfanylpyrazolo[3,4-<Emphasis Type="Italic">d</Emphasis>]-pyrimidin-4(5<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>)-ones with arenesulfenyl chlorides

Reactions of 6-allylsulfanylpyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-4(5H)-one with arenesulfenyl chlorides in chloroform gave products of addition of the latter at the exocyclic double bond, while analogous reactions in acetic acid in the presence of LiClO₄ were accompanied by intramolecular electrophilic cyclization involving the N⁷ atom. 6-Cinnamylsulfanylpyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-4(5H)-one reacted with arenesulfenyl chlorides in acetic acid in the absence of electrolyte to produce fused pyrazolo[4′,3′: 5,6]pyrimido[2,1-b][1,3]thiazine derivatives. Introduction of a bulky phenyl group into position 1 of the pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine system reduces the yield of the corresponding intramolecular cyclization product at N⁷ as a result of concurrent formation of acyclic addition product.

Synthesis and reactivity of 4-hydroxy-5-methyl-2-(2-oxo-2<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>-chromen-3-yl)-6<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>-1,3-oxazin-6-ones

4-Hydroxy-6H-1,3-oxazin-6-ones with a coumarin fragment in position 2 of the oxazine ring were synthesized. Their hydrolysis, alcoholysis, and hydrazinolysis afforded a number of new coumarin derivatives containing malonamic acid and 1,2,4-triazole residues. The low stability of the title compounds toward oxygencentered nucleophiles was interpreted by quantum chemical calculations.

Methods of synthesis were developed for 7-(furan-2-yl)-substituted 7,8,10,10a-tetrahydrobenzo[c] chromen-6,9-diones by regioselective [4+2]-cycloaddition of coumarin-3-carboxylic acids to 2-(3-trimethylsiloxybuta- 1,3-dien-1-yl)furans. The [4+2]-cycloaddition was efficiently catalyzed with L-proline.

Alkylation of sodium 4(5)-alkyl-6-oxo-1,6-dihydropyrimidine-2-thiolates with 2-bromo-1-(4-bromophenyl)ethan-1-one afforded 2-{[2-(4-bromophenyl)-2-oxoethyl]sulfanyl}pyrimidin-4(3H)-ones. Analogous reaction with sodium 4-trifluoromethyl-6-oxo-1,6-dihydropyrimidine-2-thiolate gave a mixture of 2-{[2-(4-bromophenyl)-2-oxoethyl]sulfanyl}-4-(trifluoromethyl)pyrimidin-4(3H)-one and its intramolecular cyclization product, 3-(4-bromophenyl)-3-hydroxy-7-trifluoromethyl-2,3-dihydro[1,3]thiazolo[3,2-a]-pyrimidin-5-one.
