Synthesis from pyrido[7,2-a/pyrimidines. Reaction of the disubstituted pyridopyrimidinone 416 with hydrazine gives the aminopyrazole-fused product 417 (Equation 153) <1996FA781, 2003JIC311, 2004IJB1561>. Similarly, substituent interaction in the pyridopyrimidine 418 with amines in toluene at reflux gives, in various proportions, diastereomeric mixtures of the pyrrolopyridopyrimidines 419 and 420 (Equation 154) <2003T4581>. 

A series of 6- and 7-aciylamide derivatives of 4-(phenylamino)-quinazoline and 4-(phenylainino)-pyridopyrimidine, classes of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGER) inhibitors, have been prepared from the corresponding amino compounds by reaction with actoyl chloride/base <99JMC1803>. Reaction of thionyl chloride with hexahydro-7-methyl-pyrimido[l,6-a]-pyrimidine-6,8-dione yields the corresponding 9,9 -thiobispyriiiudopyrimidine derivative <99JHC453>. 

The vast majority of this type of cyclization start from pyridines. One obvious route converts o- acylaminopyridine acids, esters or their equivalents to pyridopyrimidines using a one-atom ammonia or amine fragment, e.g. (173) -> (174). Examples are known mainly in the pyrido[2,3-rf]pyrimidine field (e.g. 73GEP2248497, 74MI21502) but also in [3,4-d] and [4,3-rf] cases (74GEP2348U1). Sometimes pyridooxazine intermediates similar to (113) are involved, especially in the few examples with pyrido[3,2-rf]pyrimidines (65JCS4240). 

Oxo-4//-pyrido[l,2-a]pyrimidine-7-carboxylates 500 were obtained when 7-iodo-4T/-pyrido[ 1,2-a]pyrimidines 499 reacted with carbon monoxide in the presence of bis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(II) chloride catalyst and triethylamine (Scheme 29) (94MI2). From 7-iodo derivatives 499, 7-vinyl derivatives 501 and 7-(l-ethoxyvinyl) derivatives 502 were prepared with vinyltributyltin in the presence of Pd(PPh3)4 and with (1-ethoxy-vinyl)tributyltin in the presence of bis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(II) chloride catalyst, respectively, in toluene at 80°C. 7-(l-Ethoxy vinyl)pyr-ido[l, 2-a]pyrimidin-4-ones 502 were hydrolyzed to yield 7-acetyl derivatives 503. The acetyl group of compounds 503 was reduced with sodium borohydride in the presence of cerium(III) chloride in ethanol to give 7-(1 -hydroxyethyl)pyridopyrimidin-4-ones 504. 

Hydroxymethylthio)-4-oxo-4//-pyrido[l,2-a]pyrimidine-3-carboxy-late 522, prepared from 9-mercaptopyridopyrimidine-3-carboxylate 513 (R1 = COOEt, R2 = H) and 27% formaldehyde at 100°C, was reacted with thiomorpholine in the presence of magnesium sulfate in tetrahydrofuran under ice-cooling for 1 hour to afford 9-(4-thiomorpholinomethylthio)-pyridopyrimidine-3-carboxylate 523 (89EUP329126). 

In addition to several general reviews on enamine chemistry, all of which include heterocyclic syntheses, there is an extensive survey by Hickmott which is entirely concerned with the formation of heterocycles. More specialized reviews deal with heterocyclic enamines, enaminones, the photochemistry of enamides , heterocyclic jS-enamino esters , enamino thiones , the synthesis of indole alkaloids via enamines , formation of pyrimidines, pyridopyrimidines, pyridines and pyrrolizines from enamines , synthesis of lactams , formation of heterocycles from cyclic enamino ketones and 2-acetylcyclohexen-l-ones, the synthesis of 3-cyano-2(l -pyrimidine-thiones and -selenones from jS-enamino ketones and the chemistry of cyclic en-aminonitriles. ...
