3- Amino-4//-pyrido pyrimidin-4-ones

Moving to fused pyrimidines, Tu and co-workers [96] elaborated a microwave-assisted three-component reaction for the synthesis of 2-amino pyrido[2,3-rf pyr-imidines 47-50. 2,6-Diaminopyrimidin-4-one was reacted without any catalyst with an aldehyde and malononitrile, ethyl cyanoacetate, 2-cyanoacetamide or Meldrum s acid. Importantly, aromatic and aliphatic aldehydes perform equally well in the reaction to give the desired products in good yields (Scheme 36). 

Hydrogenation of the pyridine ring in the reduction of 2-amino-pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4(3/i)-one was proved by synthesis.89... 

Amino esters (26) have also been shown to yield pyrido[2,3- Z]-pyrimidin-4(3I/)-ones (25, 27) when treated with isocyanates and isothiocyanates. The reactions proceed via intermediate ureido and thioureido derivatives. 

The reaction involves an electrophilic attack into the 5-position of the pyrimidine ring and thus only those pyrimidines that are activated toward electrophilic substitution by the presence of electron-donating substituents at the 2- and 4-positions undergo cyclization. 2,4,6-Triaminopyrimidine, 6-aminouracil, 6-amino-2-thiouracil, 4-amino-2,4 dimercaptopyrimidine, 2,4-diaminopyrimidin-6(l/I)-one, and various 4-amino-vV-alkyl and aryl pyriinidones have all been converted into pyrido[2,3-[Pg.160]

The phenylhydrazones of 2-[(2-alkenyl)amino]-3-formyl-4//-pyrido-[1,2-n]pyrimidin-4-ones 242 underwent a thermally induced intramolecular 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition leading to a mixture of tetracyclic compounds 243 and 244 at room temperature or to 244 under reflux (96T901). Derivatives 243 were not stable and converted to compounds 244 gradually on standing or on heating their ethanolic solutions in air. The ( )-hydrazones 245 could be isolated only in the case of...
