Pyrido pyrimidine-7-carboxylates 8-hydroxy

The relative stereostructure of 9-acetyl-7-hydroxy-l,2-dimethyl-7-meth-oxycarbonyl-4-phenyl-6-oxo-l, 4,7,8-tetrahydro-6/7-pyrido[l, 2-u]pyri-midine-3-carboxylate 122 was justified by an X-ray diffraction analysis (97JOC3109). The stereochemistry and solid state structure of racemic trans-6,9-//-l, 6-dimethyl-9 z-ethoxy-9-hydroxy-4-oxo-l,6,7,8,9,9 z-hexahydro-4//-pyrido[l,2- z]pyrimidine-3-carboxylate (123), adopting a cw-fused conformation, were determined by X-ray investigations (97H(45)2175). 

Acidic and basic hydrolysis of ethyl 4-oxo-4//-pyrido[l, 2-u]pyrimidin-3-carboxylates gave 3-carboxylic acid derivatives (OlMIPl). Stirring rerr-butyl ( )-3-(2-hydroxy-8-[2-(4-isopropyl-l, 3-thiazol-2-yl)-l-ethenyl]-4-oxo-4//-pyrido[l,2-u]pyrimidin-3-yl)-2-propenoate in CF3CO2H at room temperature yielded ( )-3-substituted 2-propenoic acid. 

Fluorophenyl)-3-fluoro-2-hydroxy-6-oxo-6/7-pyrido[],2-n]pyrimidine-7-carboxylic acid (197, R = 4-FPh, R = H) was obtained from the 2-(4-methyl-]-piperazinyl)-7-ester derivative by the treatment with 1 N NaOH in an 1 1 mixture of H2O and THF at room temperature for 6h (95MIP1, 96JMC3070, 96MIP4, 96USP5580872). 

Cyclopropyl-3-fluoro-2-hydroxy-6-oxo-6//-pyrido[l,2-n]pyrimidine-7-carboxylates 340 were obtained in the reaction of 2-cyclopropyl-2-(5-fluoro-4-hydroxy-2-pyrimidinyl)acetaldehyde (339) and ethyl, rerr-butyl and dibenzyl malonates in the presence of piperidine and AcOH (95MIP1, 96JMC3070, 96MIP4, 96USP5580872). 

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>. 

Photolytic cleavage (at 320nm) of the substituent at position 1 of 9-cyclopropyl-l-[(4,5-dimethoxy-2-nitrophenyl)-methoxycarbonyl-3-fluoro-2,6-dioxo-l,2-dihydro-6//-pyrido[l,2-tf]pyrimidine-7-carboxylate gave 9-cyclopropyl-3-fluoro-2-hydroxy-6-oxo-6//-pyrido[ 1,2-tf]pyrimidin-7-carboxylate <1995WO95/010519, 1996WO96/039407,... 

Mendel44 found that reaction of 2-aminopyridine-3-carboxylic acid with ethyl acetoacetate or ethyl benzoylacetate gave rise to a decarboxylated product (36 R1 = Me, Ph R = R2 = H), whereas with ethyl 4,4,4-tri-fluoroacetoacetate, the product was ethyl 2-aminopyridine-3-carboxylate. Yale51 obtained 3-benzoyl-2-hydroxy-4-oxo-4ff-pyrido[ 1,2-a] pyrimidine in 4- 5%, yield from 2-amino-3-methylpyridine and ethyl benzoylacetate in diethylbenzene. 

Heating a mixture of 2-aminopyridine and ethyl 2,5-dihydro-5-oxo-2-arylisoxazole-4-carboxylates at 200°C for 2 minutes gave 2-hydroxy-4-oxo-4//-pyrido[ 1,2-a]pyrimidine-3-carboxamides 117 in 35-37% yields (93JHC33). 

The cyclocondensation of 2-aminopyridines and dimethyl diacetoxy-fumarate in refluxing methanol in the presence of p-toluenesulfonic acid for 3 hours gave 3-hydroxy-4-oxo-4//-pyrido[l, 2-a]pyrimidine-3-carboxylates 208 (90OPP532).
