9-Benzyl-2-hydroxy-47/-pyrido

Reaction of 2-aminopyridine with dimethyl 2-methylmalonate in the presence of some drops of cone. HCl at 150°C for 1 h (96EUP733633), and with diethyl 2-(l-decyl)malonate at 120°C for 5 min (94JCR(S)206) gave 2-hydroxy-3-methyl- and 2-hydroxy-3-(l-decyl)-4//-pyrido[l, 2-n]pyrimidin-4-ones in 2.2% and 7.5% yields, respectively. Reaction of 3-benzyl-2-aminopyridine and diethylmalonate at 190-200 °C for 4 h yielded 9-benzyl-2-hydroxy-4//-pyrido[l, 2-n]pyrimidin-4-one (01MIP9). Cyclocondensation... 

The respective amide was prepared from 7-substituted 5-oxo-2,3-dihydro-5//-pyrido[l,2,3-de]-l,4-benzoxazine-6-carboxylic acids via acid chlorides with different benzylamines (00M1P3). 6-Carboxamides were N-benzylated, and a side-chain phenolic hydroxy group was O-alkylated. 7-Aryl-5-oxo-2,3-dihydro-5//-pyrido[l, 2,3-r/e]-1,4-benzoxazine-6-carboxylic acid was obtained from the ethyl ester by alkalic hydrolysis. 

Reduction of 3-benzyl-8-chloro-4-oxo-4//-pyrido[l,2- ]pyrimidine-2-carboxylate <2004W004/064741> and 2-methyl-4-oxo-4//-pyrido[l,2-tf]pyrimidine-3-carboxylate <2003T4123> with DIBAL-H afforded 2- and 3-formyl derivatives, respectively. Reduction of /V-(4-fluorobenzyl)-3-hydroxy-8-[methoxy(methyl)amino]-4-oxo-6,7,8,9-tetra-hydro-4//-pyrido[l,2- ]pyrimidine-2-carboxamide with Zn-dust in aqueous AcOH afforded the 8-methylamino derivative, which was acylated with AcOH in the presence of Hiinig s base, HOBt, and l-(3-dimethylaminopro-pyl)-3-ethylcarbodiimide-HCl <2004W004/058756>. 3-(Perhydropyrido[l,2- ]pyrimidin-2-yl)propylamine was obtained by catalytic hydrogenation of 2-(perhydropyrido[l,2- ]pyrimidin-2-yl)propionitrile over a Pt02 catalyst <2003FRP1275647>. 

Hydrogenolysis of the benzyl group of 9-benzyloxy-4//-pyrido[ 1,2-a]pyrimidin-4-ones 336 in ethanol over 10% palladium-on-charcoal under pressure of hydrogen (3 atm), or in the presence of cyclohexene and 10% palladium hydroxide, afforded 9-hydroxy derivatives 337 in 25-30% and 78% yield, respectively (89TL1529 91JHC1287). 

The quaternary salt 366 was not obtained from 9-hydroxyl-2-methyl-4 -pyrido[ 1,2-a]pyrimidin-4-one 365 and benzyl chloride by heating in nitromethane (92KGS1660). The hydroxy group of 9-hydroxylpyridopy-rimidin-4-one 365 was alkylated with methyl iodide in dimethyl sulfoxide at 40°C for 30 hours to give 9-methoxy derivative 367 in 9% yield.
