3-Phenyl-5-methyl(phenyl)-1H,3H-pyrimido[4,5:4,5]pyrimido[1,2-a]benzimi-dazole-2,4-diones were obtained by the cyclization of N-phenyl-N-[3-ethoxycar-bonyl-4-methyl(phenyl)pyrimido [1,2-a]benzimidazol-2-yl]ureas by the action of potassium carbonate. 2-Methyl-5-phenyl-1H-pyrimido[4,5:4,5]pyrimido[1,2-a]benzimidazol-4-one was obtained by the reaction of N-3-ethoxycarbonyl-4-phenylpyrimido[1,2-a]benzimidazol-2-yl]-N,N-dimethylacetamidine with ammonium acetate in ethanol. The synthesized compounds are members of a new heterocyclic system. The molecular and crystal structure of the solvate of 3-phenyl-5-methyl-1H,3H-pyrimido[4,5:4,5] pyrimido[1,2-a]benzimidazole-2,4-dione with two molecules of DMF was studied by x-ray crystallographic analysis.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 11, pp. 2587–2592, November, 1991.

Pyrimidines. 70. Relative reactivities of the chlorine atoms of 2,2′,4-trichloro-4′,5-dipyrimidinyl in its reaction with piperidine

2,2,4-Trichloro-6-phenyl-4,5-dipyrimidinyl, for which nucleophilic substitution with piperdine under various conditions was studied, was obtained from 2,2,4-trioxo-6-phenyl-1, 1,2,2,3,4-hexahydro-4,5-dipyrimidinyl. It is shown that there is an appreciable difference in the rates of substitution of the first, second, and third chlorine atoms, and this made it possible to obtain reaction products that contain one, two, and three piperidino groups. The chlorine atom in the 4 position is replaced initially, after which the chlorine atom in the 2 position undergoes substitution. The structures of the compounds were proved by chemical transformations and analysis of the PMR spectra.See [1] for communication 69.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 6, pp. 821–826, June, 1979.

New chiral acyclic analogs of 2′-deoxynucleosides

Convenient methods for the synthesis of chiral 2,3-seco-2-deoxynucleosides were developed. An isopropylidene protective group was used to block the 3,5-hydroxy groups in 2,3-seco-uridine. Conversion of the hydroxymethyl group to a methyl group was accomplished by chlorination with a mixture of CCl₄ and Ph₃P with subsequent reduction with n-Bu₃SnH. 2,3-seco-2-Deoxyuridine was obtained after deacetonation. The (S) enantiomer was similarly synthesized starting from 1-(-D-arabinofuranosyl)uracil. 3-O-tert-Butyldimethylsilyl-5-O-(p-monomethoxytrityl)-2,3-seco-2-deoxyuridine, which has optically active centers at C₍₁₎ and C₍₄₎, was also synthesized.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 6, pp. 822–826, June, 1988.The authors thank Professor M.

Bisindoles. 10. Synthesis of 1,2-(5,5′-diindolyl)ethane

A 2,2-diethoxycarbonyl derivative of a new bisindole system, viz., 1,2-(5,5-diindolyl)ethane, was obtained by cyclization of ethyl pyruvate sym-4,4-diphenyleneethanedihydrazone. 5-(-Phenylethyl)-2-ethoxycarbonylindole was also isolated in very low yield from the reaction products. Saponification of the 2,2-diethoxycarbonyl derivative gave the corresponding dicarboxylic acid, the thermal decarboxylation of which leads to the formation of 1,2-(5,5-diindolyl) ethane. The syn,syn and anti,anti forms of ethyl pyruvate sym-4,4-diphenyleneethane-dihydrazone were also obtained and characterized.See [1, 2] for Communications 8 and 9.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 3, pp. 348–351, March, 1982.
