Synthesis, methylation, and acylation of 1,2-dihydrodeoxyvasicinones and their homologs

2,3-Trimethylene- and 2,3-pentamethylene-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-4-quinazolones and their 6-methyl and 6-bromo derivatives have been obtained by the reduction of deoxyvasicinone and its 6-methyl and 6-bromo derivatives and also their seven-membered homologs at the cycloalkane ring with sodium tetrahydroborate in ethanol. The alkylation and acylation reactions of the above-mentioned reducing compounds have been studied.Institute of Chemistry of Plant Substances, Academy of Sciences of the Uzbek SSR, Tashkent.
