Über kondensierte Heterocyclen aus β-Isothiocyanatoketonen und Aminoalkoholen bzw. Diaminen

2- and 3-aminoalcohols, o-aminobenzylalcohol, o-hydroxybenzylamine and o-amino(thio)-phenol react with 4-isothiocyanato-4-methyl-2-pentanone (1) to yield derivatives of condensed heterocycles (oxazolopyrimidines7, pyrimidooxazine8, pyrimidobenzoxazines9, 10, pyrimidobenzoxazole11 a and pyrimidobenzothiazole11 c respectively). Ethylenediamine or 1,3-diaminopropane react with1 to yield either imidazo-pyrimidine13 and pyrimidopyrimidine14 respectively or the 1,2-ethylene- and trimethylenebisdihydro-2(1H)-pyrimidinethione15 a, b respectively, according to the molar ratio of the reactants. o-Phenylenediamine gives pyrimidobenzimidazole11 d. 11a undergoes ring cleavage in boiling dimethylformamide followed by methylpyrimidine-pyridine rearrangement to dihydrohydroxyphenylamino-2(1H)-pyridinethione12, while15 a is converted into the bis-4-(ethanediimino)-pyridinthione16.
