Synthesis of pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4-one derivatives

This paper describes one-pot synthesis of 5H-[1,3]thiazolo[3,2-a]pyrido[3,2-e]pyrimidin-5-one 4 , 5H-dipyri-do[1,2-a:3′,2′-e]pyrimidin-5-one 10 and 5H-pyrido[3,2-e]pyrimido[1,2-a]pyrimidin-5-one 15 and some of their derivatives, starting with 2-chloro-3-pyridine carboxilic acid 1. Compounds 4 and 10 reacted with phosphorus pentasulfide to give the respective 5-thione analogues, 5 from 4 and 11 from 10 . Boiling the 5-thione derivatives with hydrazine hydrate, the respective 5-hydrazono derivatives 6 from 5 and 12 from 11 were obtained. The 5-acetyl hydrazono, 7 , and the 5-isopropylidenehydrazono, 8 , derivatives were also prepared from 6 , and the 5-propionylhydrazono derivatives, 13 , from 12 . Compound 4 reacted with hydrazine to give an adduct with two molecules of hydrazine and the probable structure 16 . Treating this adduct with acetone a monohydrazone 17 was obtained. Boiling a suspension of this adduct in DMF, it gave 6,10-dihydro-6H-pyrido[3′,2′:5,6]pyrimido[2,1-c][1,2,4]triazin-5-one 20 .
