Many ring-fused imidazole derivatives have been synthesized by various methods. Domino Michael addition retro-ene reaction of 2-alkoxyiminoimidazolidines and acetylene carboxylates provided a synthesis of 2,3-dihydroimidazo[l,2-a]pyrimidin-5-(l//)-ones <05T5303>. A single step synthesis of 3,5-dialkyl-9-nitroimidazo[l,2-c]quinazolin-2(3//)-ones from simple carbonyl compounds, primary amines or amino acid methyl esters and 2-azido-5-nitrobenzonitrile has been published <05TL5778>. Diels-Alder reaction of azadienes and benzimidazole-4,7-diones afforded imidazo[4,5-g ]quinoline-4,9-dione derivatives <05EJ01903>. Reaction between isocyanides and dialkyl acetylenedicarboxylates in the presence of 4,5-diphenyl-l,3-dihydro-2//-imidazol-2-one provided a one-pot synthesis of 5//-imidazo[2,l-ft][l,3]oxazine derivatives <05T2645>. Microwave irradiation was employed in the synthesis of 1-ary 1-3-acetyl-1,4,5,6-... 

Quinoxaline-2,3-dione is converted into 2,3-dichloroquinoxaline by phosphoryl chloride142 or phosphorus pentachloride.143 2,3-Dibromo-quinoxaline is similarly obtained using phosphoryl bromide in dimethyl-aniline.144 Quinoxalin-2-one undergoes ring contraction to 2-methyl-benzimidazole (134) with hydrazine145 however, quinoxaline-2,3-dione gives 3-hydrazino-2-quinoxalinone.145 Quinoxalin-2-one yields a 3-p-dimethylaminophenyl derivative with 7V,N-dimethylaniline (in AcOH, with NH4N03), and a 3-(indol-3-yl) derivative with indole.146... 

An interesting approach for the synthesis of some fused pyrimidines has been reported by Shaaban [102] via reaction of 4,4,4-trifluoro-l-(thien-2-yl)butane-1,3-dione in the presence of triethylorthoformate with 5-aminopyrazole or 1,2,4-aminotriazole or 2-aminobenzimidazole under microwave irradiation. The resulting trifluoromethyl derivatives of pyrazolo[l,5-a]pyrimidine 56, l,2,4-triazolo[l,5-a] pyrimidine 57 and pyrimido[l,2-a]benzimidazoles 58 were obtained in excellent yields and purity (Scheme 42). 

Cycloaddition and cyclization routes were used to access certain 1,3-diazines. The 4+2 cycloaddition reaction of 4-(N-allyl-N-aryl)amino-l,3-diaza-l,3-butadienes with vinyl-, isopropenyl-, and chloroketene led to pyrimidinone-fused pyrimidinones <97T13841>. Cis-cyclopenta[d]pyrimidines were derived from cis-2-amino-l-cyclopentanecarboxylates by cyclization with KOCN and KSCN <97JHC1211>. 2-Thioxopyrido[3, 2 4,5]thieno[3,2-r/]pyrimidin-4(3//)-ones 19 were prepared by cyclocondensation of 2-carbethoxy-3-amino-4-phenyl-6-substituted-thieno[2,3-/)]pyridines and isothiocyanates <97JHC937>. Thiazolyl-benzimidazoles derived from 2-cyanomethyl-l//-benzimidazole and 2,3-dihydrothiazole-2-(3//)-thiones were cyclized to the corresponding thiazolo[4,5-r/]pyrimidines <97PHA346>. Reductive cyclization of 6-cyanomethyl-5-nitropyrimidines afforded 7-alkyl-5//-pyrrolo[3,2-r/]pyrimidines and 6-amino-7,7-dialkyl-7//-pyrrolo[3,2-rf]pyrimidines <97T391>. 7-Methyl-5-alkyl-2-vinyl-pyrazolo[3,4-r/]pyrimidine-4,6(5//,7//)-diones arose from cyclization and alkylation of...
