4- Aryl- 2-imino-6,7,8,9- tetrahydro-2//pyrido pyrimidines

Cyclocondensation of 2-iminopiperidine and 3-aryl-2-propynylnitriles in THE or 5% MeCN/THF afforded 4-aryl-2-imino-6,7,8,9-tetrahydro-2H- and 2-aryl-4-imino-6,7,8,9-terahydro-4//-pyrido[l,2-n]pyrimidines in 70-98% and 2-30% yields, respectively (00OL3389). When the reactions were carried out in the presence of 2 equiv of NaHMDS the product ratio was reversed. 

Cyclocondensation of 2-iminopiperidine and 3-aryl-2-propynylnitriles afforded 4-aryl-2-imino-6,7,8,9-tetrahydro-22/-pyrido[l,2- ]pyrimidines <20000L3389, 2002W002/00629>. The minor isomers, 2-aryl-4-imino-6,7,8,9-tetrahy-dro-4/7-pyrido[l,2- ]pyrimidines could also be isolated in 2-30% yields from the reaction mixtures <20000L3389>. When the reactions were carried out in the presence of 2 equiv of NaHMDS, the product ratio was reversed. From the reaction mixture of 2-aminopyridine and perfluoro-2-methylpent-2-ene in MeCN, a 9 1 mixture of 2,4-difluoro-2-pentafluoroethyl-3-trifluoromethyl-477- and the isomeric 2,4-difluoro-4-pentafluoroethyl-3-trifluoromethyl-277-pyr-ido[l,2- ]pyrimidine (64%), and 2-pentafluoroethyl-3-trifluoromethyl-47/-pyrido[l,2- ]-pyrimidine-4-one (20%) was isolated <2000JFC(103)105>.
