A Convenient Synthetic Method and Spectral Characterization of New Tetrahydro[1,3]oxazinothieno[2,3‐c]isoquinoline and Its Pyrimidine Derivatives

Acetylation of 1‐amino‐5‐morpholin‐4‐yl‐6,7,8,9‐tetrahydrothieno2,3‐c ]isoquinoline‐2‐phenyl carboxamide 3 afforded the corresponding tetrahydro1,3]oxazinothieno2,3‐c ]isoquinolinone compound 4 . The oxazinone compound 4 underwent nucleophilic substitution reactions with various primary aliphatic and aromatic amines including some sulfa drugs such as sulfanilamide, sulfaguanidine, and sulfathiazole to afford the substituted pyrimidinone compounds 6–10 . Chlorination of the pyrimidinone 10 with phosphorus oxychloride yielded the chloropyrimidine derivative 11 . The latter compound was used as a versatile precursor for the synthesis of other heterocyclic rings containing the tetrahydropyrimidothienoisoquinoline moiety 12–23 through reaction with a variety of organic reagents. The newly synthesized compounds were fully characterized by elemental and spectral analyses, including melting point, TLC, and FT IR and ¹H NMR spectroscopy, as well as ¹³C NMR and mass spectroscopy for most of them. These molecules should allow to us in the future to investigate their pharmacological activities.
