Pyridin-2-ones, 3-amino-, reaction with

This four-atom replacement was observed in some reactions of uracil derivatives, containing at position 5 a substituent with the CCCN moiety. Treatment of the Z-isomer 5-(2-carbamoylvinyl)-l,3-dialkyluracil with ethanolic sodium ethoxide gave in good yield 3-ethoxycarbonylpyridin-6(lf/)-one (84%) together with 3-A-methylcarbamoyl)pyridin-6-(l7 )-one (10%) (85JOC1513) (Scheme 26). The reaction involves an initial attack of the terminal amino group of the side-chain on position 6 of the uracil molecule. C-6-N-1 bond fission and N-C bond formation yield the pyridin-6(l//)-one. A subsequent attack of the ethoxide ion on the carbonyl groups of the side-chain yields both pyridin-2-one derivatives (Scheme 26). Similar results were obtained with the -isomer. 

Another quite common reaction involving nucleophilic attack at a carbon atom of the ring is the hydrolysis of hexahydro-oxazolo[3,4- ]pyridines and tetrahydro-oxazolo[3,4-tf]pyridin-l-ones. This reaction has been known for years and is best performed under acidic conditions, respectively, producing 2-hydroxymethyl-piperidines or pipe-colic acid derivatives in good yields representative examples are collected in Table 9. Ammoniolysis of tetrahydro-oxazolo[3,4-tf]pyridin-l -ones with amino acid derivatives has also been reported and produces substituted pipecolic acid amides in good yields <2003H(61)259>. 

Activated esters of A-alkoxycarbonylamino acids are prepared by two approaches, activation of the acid followed by reaction with the hydroxy compound, and trans-esterification. Most of the products are stable enough to be purified by washing a solution of the ester in an organic solvent with aqueous solutions. A few that are not crystalline are purified by passage through a column of silica. The commonly used method for their preparation is addition of dicyclohexylcarbodiimide to a cold mixture of the reactants in dimethylformamide or ethyl acetate. The first Boc-amino acid nitrophenyl esters were obtained using pyridine as solvent. Pyridine generates the nitrophenoxide ion that is more reactive. For one type of ester, 2-hydroxypyridino... 

Trisubstituted ureas have been obtained, under mild conditions (333 K, 0.1 MPa, 6h), in the presence of pyridine, from primary amines, C02 and hexaalkylphos-phorous triamides, P(NR2)3 [124]. The latter compounds are able to react with C02 by converting into phosphocarbamate species, P(02CNR2)3 (NR2) (x = 1, 2). The yields of ureas R2NC(C))NHR" were almost quantitative, if based on one amino group of P(NR2)3, but could not be further improved by the addition of an excess of primary amine. This indicates that, in general, only one of the three P-N bonds of P(NR2)3 takes part in the reaction. 

In addition to procedures for pyridine ring closure based on the use of 3-amino-thiophene derivatives, there are alternative methods for the construction of thieno [3,2-Z>]pyridines. One approach made use of cyclic (3-keto sulfones, which proved to be convenient synthons for the modified Hantzsch synthesis of fused pyridines (1986KGS1563, 1990JHC1453, 2000MI1, 2002USP6191140). For example, the reactions of benzothiophene 1,1-dioxide 168 with enamines 169 or methylene-active compounds 170 in the presence of NH4OAc produced fused dihydropyridines 171 (1990JHC1453).
