6-Hydroxy-4-imino-4//-pyrido

Heating (2-pyridyl)aminomethylenecyanoacetates 161 and (2-pyri-dyl)aminomethylenemalononitrile 163 gave 6-hydroxy-4-imino-4//-pyrido[l,2-a]pyrimidines 165 and 166, respectively (86T3537). 

The 3-formyl group of 8-substituted 3-formyl-2-hydroxy-4//-pyrido[l,2-n]pyrimidin-4-one was reacted with (cyanomethyl)- and (terr-butoxycarbo-nylmethylene)triphenylphosphorane in THF, and with 5-aminotetrazole in boiling MeOH for 9h to yield ( )-3-propenenitrile, terr-butyl ( )-3-propenoate and 3-[(2//-tetrazol-5-yl)imino]methyl derivatives, respectively (OlMIPl). 

Stereostructures of a co-crystal of (li )-l- 4-[(9aA)-perhydropyrido[l,2- ]pyrazin-2-yl]phenyl -2-phenyl-7-hydroxy-l, 2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline with ERa-LBD301-553/C — S triple mutant <2005JME364> and iV-[2-(4-hydroxyphenyl)ethyl]-a-propyl-3-[(4-hydroxyphenyl)methyl]-l,4-dioxo-l,2,3,4,ll,l la-hexahydro-67/-pyrazino[l,2- ]isoquinoline-3-acetamide with fructose-1,6-biphosphatase <2003JBC51176> were determined by X-ray crystallography. The structure of a complex formed from 3-[( -methylphenyl)amino]-4-[(4-methylphenyl)imino]-4//-pyrido[l,2-tf]pyrazine with sodium bis(trimethylsilyl)amide and (norbornadiene)Mo(CO)4 in THF was characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction <1995JPR38>. 

The reaction of 2-aminopyridine hydrochlorides and allenic nitriles either neat at 90°C for 20 hours or in boiling methylene chloride for 15 hours afforded unstable 2-imino-2//-pyrido[l,2-a]pyrimidine hydrochlorides 71, which could be isolated as hydrates in about 50% yield [88JCS(P1)975]. If the reactions were carried out in boiling 95% ethanol for 72 hours, the initially formed 2-imino-2//-pyrido[ 1,2-a Ipyrimidines 71 were hydrolyzed and 2-pyridyl ketones 73 could be isolated. Under the latter conditions 3-hydroxy-2-aminopyridine gave 2-iminopyridopyrimidines 74, which were stabilized by the formation of zwitterionic structures (Scheme 5). [Earlier the ring-opened products 73 (R = H, 3-NH2) were described as a 4-imino-4/7-pyrido[ 1,2-a]pyrimidine derivative 72 (81TL4127)]. 

Werden die Imino-phosphorane I bei 130° 15 h mit Kohlendioxid umgesetzt, entstehen die 5-substituierten 6-Hydroxy-3-methyl-l-phenyl-2091 (s.a.
