Pyrimidine bromination

Acylation of 2-methylpyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidines with anhydrides gives 2-acylmethyl derivatives (67), whilst bromination to the 7-bromomethyl derivative has been reported for 7-methylpyrido[3,2-d]pyrimidines (56JCS4433) in a synthesis of potential folic acid antagonists.

In addition, Namazi and coworkers expanded the DHPM core by constructing pyrrolo[3,4-rf pyrimidines via the classical approach. First, DHPM 59 was delivered in 60% yield using the standard Biginelli conditions. 59 was then brominated in high yield to afford 60. Substitution of bromide 60 with methylamine followed by cyclization of the intermediate amino ester furnished pyrrolo[3,4-rf pyrimidine 61 in 53% yield. 

Little data is available, but methyl groups a and y to ring nitrogens appear to be activated. 2-Methyl and 6-methyl substituents in pyrido[3,2-d]pyrimidines undergo bromination 38.79,12.9 oxidative decarboxylation, and form styryl compounds.The 6-methyl group in pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidines could not be brominated. ... 

There is some indication in pyridines and pyrimidines (113) that, when activation is by a meta azine-nitrogen, iodine and bromine are more reactive than chlorine. In 2-halo-pyridines and -3-... 

Oxidation of 2-mercapto-l,2,4-triazolo[l,5-c]pyrimidines (174) with chlorine or bromine in water (64BRP951652 65JCS3369), with hydrogen peroxide and chlorine (95MIP1), as well as with sodium chlorate in hydrochloric acid (94JMC2371) gave the corresponding 2-sulfonyl halide derivatives 175. Oxidation of the 2-alkylmercapto compounds 176 to the 2-alkylsufonyl derivatives 177 was made with ammonium peroxodisulfate and sulfuric acid... 

Chlorination of 2-hydroxy-4//-pyrido[l,2-n]pyrimidin-4-one with NCS in a mixture of AcOH and TFA at room temperature for 72 h yielded a 3-chloro-2-hydroxy derivative (95JMC4687). Bromination of 2-chloro-4//-pyrido[l, 2-n]pyrimidone with Br2 in a mixture of CH2CI2 and pyridine at room temperature for 15 min gave a 3-bromo derivative (00BMC751). 

The isomeric imidazo[l,5-a]pyrimidine (161) gave the 1,3-dibromo derivative when exposed to bromine or NBS (72BSF2481). Iodination of benzimidazo[2,l- >]quinazolin-12(5 or 6//)-ones was accomplished by boiling them with bromine in the presence of sodium or potassium iodide. Substitution took place at the 9-position in the benzimidazo moiety (91MI3). 

When 7r-deficient thiadiazoles are fused to an azine, electrophilic substitution is possible only in the presence of strongly electron-donating substituents (74BCJ2813) (Scheme 56). Some [l,3,4]thiadiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidin-5-ones were brominated next to the oxo group (90DOK743). 

The bromine atom of 4-aryl-2-(4-bromobutyl)-2,3,5,6,7,8-hexahydro-177- ancj -perhydropyrido[l,2-c]pyrimidine-l,3-diones was displaced with 4-substituted piperazines <2002FES959, 2004APH139, 2004PHA99>. Heating 3-hydroxymethyl derivatives of epimeric 6-methyl-l,3,4,6,7,llb-hexahydro-277-pyrimido[6,l-,2]isoquinolin-2-ones 152 resulted in the formation of the 3-unsubstituted derivatives 153 by loss of CH20 (Equation 26) <1997LA1165>. 

The pyrimido[l,6- ]pyrimidines 68 could be brominated at the reactive 9-position. The bromo group of the resulting 69 was exchanged for a thiol group in 70 (Scheme 8). The thiol 70 reacted with 69 in NaOMe/EtOH/ dioxane to give the 9,9 -thiobis derivative 38 in 88% yield <1999JHC453>. 

Thiazolonaphthyridinium salts 331 can be produced either by bromination of the 2-alkenylpyridine precursor, or by thermal cyclization of the 2-(bromoacetyl)pyridine (Scheme 81) <1997CL1203>, and reaction of the pyrano-pyrimidine 332 with o-aminothiophenol gives the benzothiazole-fused pyridopyrimidinedione 333 (Equation 118) <2003JCCS887>. 

Halogenation of pyrimidine bases may be done with bromine or iodine. Bromination occurs at the C-5 of cytosine, yielding a reactive derivative, which can be used to couple diamine spacer molecules by nucleophilic substitution (Figure 1.48) (Traincard et al., 1983 Sakamoto et al., 1987 Keller et al., 1988). Other pyrimidine derivatives also are reactive to bromine compounds... 

One of the most important reactions of purines is the bromination of guanine or adenine at the C-8 position. It is this site that is the most common point of modification for bioconjugate techniques using purine bases (Figure 1.53). Either an aqueous solution of bromine or the compound N-bromosuccinimide can be used for this reaction. The brominated derivatives then can be used to couple amine-containing compounds to the pyrimidine ring structure by nucleophilic substitution (Chapter 27, Section 2.1). 

Pyrimidine annulated heterocycles fused at positions 5 and 6 to uracil were synthesized via a three-step sequence starting from uracil 63 [20]. Firstly, the reaction with 3-bromocyclohexene gave the AT-allyl-vinyl core system 64 in 80% yield. Upon heating 64 in EtOH in the presence of HCl, aza-Claisen rearrangement gave rise to the C-cyclohexenyl uracil 65 in 38% yield. Final bromination ( 66) and dehydrogenation steps ( 67) allowed synthesis of the desired tricyclic fused uracil systems (Scheme 15).
